A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 275 There is no future

Blake sat on the cold floor next to his brother's body. This incident hit him so hard that he couldn't recover for a long time.

Jack thought for a while, then went over and said to him in a hoarse voice: "Now is not the time to be sad. You will know the truth of the matter later after we restore all the Inferi."

Blake stood up unsteadily, saluted and said to everyone: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know the whereabouts of Regulus."

He now understood that these three people were here to deal with the Inferi, and Regulus's body happened to be the test subject.

Grindelwald gave the brass bell to Black, pointed at Lao Jiu and said to him: "Take this, you are the weakest. If you are in danger, stop ringing the bell after the gentleman's order, and you will be safe." ”

Blake thought that this old man was quite nice. Not only had he cooked so many delicious foods for him, but he was also worried that he would be in danger later and he cared about him so much. He didn't know when he wanted to cut his own neck, so let it go.

Black was about to introduce himself, but when he thought that he was an escaped prisoner from Azkaban, it would bring him trouble if he found out, so he said: "I'm sorry, it's not convenient to reveal my identity right now. What is your name?"

He thought to himself that when he got out, he would give them a large sum of money from Gringotts' own vault.

But Grindelwald's identity could not be revealed. He shook his head and said, "It's better that you don't know my identity."

Blake had no choice but to ask Jack, but Jack simply ignored him.

Lao Jiu gave him his business card and pretended not to understand English. The bowl of blood was still there to avoid embarrassment.

Blake could tell, because Lao Jiu poured himself a bottle of potion and felt a little good about it, and said: "Don't worry about the blood, just think of it as a reward for helping me find Regulus."

As business was pressing, Lao Jiu began to pick up the peach wood sword and talisman to cast spells.

Grindelwald was watching the fun and said to Jack: "Albus has a teapot theory. He believes that the wizard is a teapot and the magic power is the water in the teapot. The power of casting a spell depends not only on the amount of water, but also on how quickly the spout can pour. How much water comes out.”

"I've heard of this way of casting spells in the East. They cast the spell first by pouring out the water in the teapot and collecting it outside the spout. They can also gather a lot of tea in the teapot, which can increase the power of a spell."

Jack nodded. Although this method of casting a spell is powerful, it takes a long time to cast it. Which one is better depends on the specific situation.

Lao Jiu stepped on the seven-star step, dancing the peach wood sword, and nine talisman papers burned in the air. Finally, he pointed the peach wood sword towards the bowl filled with blood, and all the talisman papers flew into the bowl.

The blood in the bowl suddenly glowed red, making people feel like the rising sun.

Lao Jiu shouted in English: "Ring the bell, don't stop."

Blake was stunned for a moment, wondering if he was in danger now, but he still rang the bell immediately.

The sound of the bell was louder than expected. It could be heard clearly anywhere in the vast cave, and the echo could be heard by the lake.

The mirror-calm lake surface suddenly boiled, and a large number of white chalk-like heads emerged from the dark lake water. There were men, women, adults, old people, and children.

These Inferi were scattered in the vast black lake. After surfacing, they all swam toward the shore faster than fish.

Blake kept ringing the bell and found that the lifeless eyes of all the Inferi were looking at him. He was very stressed and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Soon the Inferi landed, getting closer and closer to them, and Blake's pressure increased.

Just when Blake thought that the Inferi would rush over, he discovered that the red rope on the ground seemed to have become an insurmountable wall, blocking the outside and unable to cross with a finger.

The place where the few people were was constantly attracting the Inferi, and soon they gathered together, pushing one by one, and the area of ​​​​the red rope on the ground began to gradually shrink.

Jack and Grindelwald were not afraid, but Black was still a little weak and looked at Lao Jiu worriedly.

Lao Jiu said calmly: "No problem, continue."

Blake could only continue to ring the bell.

There were no new Inferi appearing in the distance. Lao Jiu picked up the bowl on the table and poured all the glowing blood into his mouth.

He raised his head and vomited a mouthful of blood from a thirty-year-old boy into the air.

A rain of blood suddenly fell around them, and the glowing blood fell on the inferi. The inferi became weak at first, and after a while, they all lay straight on the ground, which lasted less than a minute.

"Is this the end?" Grindelwald asked.

"It's done." Lao Jiu looked very proud, "The main reason is that the quality of the blood is good, otherwise it will take more effort."

Blake also stopped and looked at the densely packed corpses around him in disbelief.

Jack went over to him and said, "Come on, there's one more thing for you to do."

The group of people came to the small island in the lake. It was a flat stone floor with a stone pillar in the middle. There was a faint green light in the stone basin on the top of the pillar.

Grindelwald curiously went over to study it, and after a moment he said solemnly: "It contains poison. If there is something in the basin, someone needs to drink it dry before you can get it."

Jack said slowly: "Someone predicted that Dumbledore would drink these poisons in the future in order to take away the contents."

"Then what?!" Grindelwald suddenly became nervous, "What happened next?"

What answered him was a huge thunder.

A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the dark cave and struck directly on the stone basin.

Grindelwald's body trembled subconsciously. He had personally experienced the power of this magic.

Lao Jiu sighed: "You still like to defeat all methods with one force."

The stone basin was split open by magic lightning, and turned into a pile of fragments after a moment. The poison inside was blown away just now.

Jack walked over and said to Grindelwald: "There will be no future."

He had just controlled his power, and the small locket under the stone basin was undamaged.

"Take it." Jack handed the locket to Blake, "You'll know after you open it."

Black did not open the locket after taking it, but thanked everyone and left with Regulus' body.

Lao Jiu looked at his leaving back and said: "This man has hatred and guilt in him. I'm afraid he has gone crazy."

At this time Grindelwald asked him seriously: "What is the function of the copper bell you gave me that day? Can it attract the attention of the Inferi?"

Grindelwald thought that the copper bell was for protecting people at first, but when he used it just now, he saw a clue. The Inferi in the whole lake were rushing to the bell.

Combined with the fact that Lao Jiu first said that "everyone" would be safe as long as he rang the bell, of course that "everyone" did not include him, but he attracted the Inferi, and they ran away.
