Hogwarts becomes host

257. The Black Lake of the Inferi



"You guys are judging me, is this the way to treat your friends?"

"I will return this sentence to you intact."

I don't know if it was the influence of anger or there was something wrong with the defensive magic here. In short, Hermione's spell suddenly worked, and the water sprayed from the wand drenched Elaine like a drowned rat.

Of course, Elaine would not passively be beaten, she rushed forward directly, and the two started fighting.

Daphne looked at the four wet Gryffindors, then at her dry clothes, blinked, and said nothing.

If you are being stupid for the sake of the show, please pay attention to your health. Dry yourself quickly to avoid catching a cold.

The magic power reserve is sufficient. Host, you can squeeze it as much as you like. We just need to draw a prize when we go back.

Anchor, anchor, you are so handsome today, why don’t you draw a prize?

Compared to usual, today's barrage contained a lot less rude remarks and seemed much gentler, more sensible, and kinder.

Similarly, the magic in the live broadcast room is not as violent as usual, which makes it easier for Elaine to guide.

Because the live broadcast room disappeared for almost a month, many people in the original world panicked.

Especially after some magic props have been cracked and used for special purposes.

Since Elaine is willing to cooperate, why should she be forced? The attitude of her original world gradually softened. After calming down, most countries quickly reached a consensus to cooperate in researching magic, guide public opinion, and try not to anger Elaine and Adair. Only a few The gangsters who have the idea of ​​harming others and not benefiting themselves still want to cause trouble.

However, the government had protected and monitored Du Chen's family and friends a few years ago, and they were another dimension away. There was nothing these people could do to Elaine. Even if they launched barrages like crazy, they would soon be lost among the masses. , after all, they are only an absolute minority.

Having said that, the thoughts of billions of people cannot be integrated into one no matter what. Elaine has figured out that the best way to use it is to exclude the audience's consciousness and transform it into one's own magic power like Adair did. The power is not as powerful as what comes from guidance, but at least it can maintain control.

So she doesn’t feel anything special about the audience’s favor.

While Hermione and Elaine were getting each other wet, Slughorn had already dried the others and was instructing Sirius and others on how to resist magic interference. Dumbledore also found the entrance.

"it's here."

As Dumbledore said this, he took a few steps back from the cave wall and pointed his wand at a certain rock.

Suddenly, the outline of an arch appeared there, emitting a dazzling white light, as if there was a strong light shining behind the crack, but the next second, everything returned to its original state, and the white light disappeared.

"Sir, we need blood here," Kreacher reminded as he apparated in. "Kreacher saw the Dark Lord spreading blood on the rock. Master Regulus did the same at that time. He cut his arm open, and then"

"Ah, I know." Dumbledore said, with contempt and even disappointment in his tone, as if Voldemort failed to meet the standards he expected. "It's really low-class and tasteless, but that's what he is." .”

"But, Professor," Harry asked uneasily, "Why does this rock wall need blood? Is there any other way to suck blood?"

Harry thought of the various horrific curses that Adair had briefly mentioned in class. The type of curse that uses blood as a carrier is the most vicious and terrifying type. It is called a blood curse. This type of curse has a special feature, that is, it will passed on to future generations

"Don't worry about that." Dumbledore explained with a smile, "Voldemort just wants to weaken our bodies. He uses himself to save others, but he doesn't know that there are many things that are much more terrifying than physical harm, Elaine."

"That's right, and blood can be bought. He probably hasn't gone shopping for a long time." Elaine sneered and took out a lot of bottles and cans from the wristband, each with a label on it. "I have prepared all kinds of blood. Which one do you think is better? The dragon blood of the troll or the werewolf is too expensive?"

Daphne and Hermione looked at Elaine with strange expressions, Sirius and Slughorn were speechless, Harry and Ron turned their heads away, they didn't want to answer the question.

If Voldemort knew that his mechanism had been cracked in this way, he would probably be furious, not to mention that Elaine seemed to be afraid that he would not know, so she just used the blood of a bunch of magical animals to open the door, and even deliberately left a lot of empty bottles behind entrance.

"He will definitely kill you." Ron said to Elaine with half admiration and half fear, "using the most cruel and bloody method."

"It's like he won't kill me if I don't do this." Elaine shrugged nonchalantly and took out a small, delicate box. "The Shafiq family and he have been fighting for a long time. So what if I go too far? This is not enough. I will put this cosmetic box in his basin later."

"That's right," Sirius' eyes lit up and he suggested. "Why don't we just get some more colorful ribbons to decorate and make the wet and dark cave beautiful? After all, it is a place where souls are stored. How can we not make it more comfortable and beautiful? Please refer to my mother's room─"

"Ahem." Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion, but I think we may be in trouble."

After passing through the arch in the cave, everyone saw a very strange sight.

They were standing on the shore of a large black lake. The lake was extremely wide and endless as far as the eye could see. Harry could not see the other shore in the distance, nor could he see the roof of the cave when he looked up.

Far away, as if in the middle of the lake, there was a dim, green light shining, reflected in the dead lake below.

Except for the green light and the light emitted by everyone's wands, there is darkness everywhere that cannot be broken away. The penetrability of the light has been reduced for some reason. The darkness here is even denser and thicker than outside, as if there is some kind of darkness. Something changes its nature, for example, Voldemort's magic.

Slughorn conjured several balls of light flying around, lighting up the surroundings.

Surrounded by rough rock walls and eerie black lake water, if you don't touch the water, your footing will be very small, with only a circle of rocky roads that are not too wide.

Even though Elaine and Kreacher had warned everyone, everyone was still frightened by the terrifying amount in the lake.

Within the reach of the light, there were pale human corpses, not only adults, but also the elderly, women, and children.

Their pale corpses were floating in the lake with vacant eyes open.

"This is what humans can do," Daphne suddenly sighed, "As expected of the Dark Lord, the level of madness is different."

"He is no longer a human being." Elaine sneered and said, "I made an appointment with Muggles for ten thousand...a waterproof plastic doll to replace the Inferi. When I think of him coming back after resurrection and seeing these things... What do you think? It’s very exciting.”

"You and I really don't know what to say." Hermione held her forehead and asked softly, "What's the point of doing this?"

"Of course it makes sense - he makes me unhappy, and I make him even more unhappy."
