208. Chapter 208 Inferius in the lake

    Upon hearing Kreacher, Sirius rushed forward.

    Looking at him, he seems to want to rush into the lake to find the body of Regulus.

    "No, Sirius!"

    Looking at Sirius' figure, Harry and Hermione screamed, but fortunately Dumbledore stopped him at the last moment.

    Get off me.Sirius gasped and said, "I am going to find Regulus."

    "I can understand your feelings, Sirius, but we must be careful."Dumbledore whispered, "This black lake is very dangerous. You have also heard Kreacher's description and know what is hidden inside. In addition to Inferius, there are these lakes…"

    "I am not afraid of danger, nor afraid of Inferius!"

    "I know, but you rushed straight into the lake and didn't help Regulus. You just did it."

    Sirius was silent and calmed down.

    "Very well, let's go ahead. Kreacher just mentioned the island in the center of the lake, and the stone altar that was originally used to store Horcrux. I want to go there first."Dumbledore continued, "A few of you are behind me, remember, don't step into the water."

    He walked around the shore of the lake, Ivan, who followed him.

    Their footsteps stepped on the narrow rocks by the lake, making a squeaky echo.

    They kept moving forward, and the time passed, but the surrounding scene did not change at all: one side was a rough cave wall, and the other side was a black lake with endless, smooth mirrors. The mysterious green light flashed in the center of the lake. .

    No one is talking, this place and this silence are depressing and uneasy.

    Ivan has been looking into the lake. The dark lake is like a black glass. It is bright and smooth. Although nothing can be seen, he knows that under the calm lake, countless Inferius are watching them quietly. One.

    "When are we going to do this?"Sirius said impatiently that his voice made a loud echo in the silent darkness.

    "There is a big ship that can carry us to the center of the lake, but Kreacher can't remember the location of the ship."Kreacher trembled and said, punishing himself with his ears.

    "Don't worry, we will find it."Dumbledore blocked Kreacher.

    "I don't understand why you must go to the island in the middle of the lake and go straight into the lake to find Regulus…"

    "Lower the lake? Unless our luck is particularly bad! ”Dumbledore said, "You can give it a try, Sirius, don't touch the lake with your hands, use magic or throw anything into it and see what happens."

    Sirius picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the lake.

    Along with the loud noise, countless double white forests stretched out from the calm lake like marble.

    The appearance of these hand-shakes, without any omen, seems to come from hell.

    After a second, the lake instantly boiled, and the hands of the dead body covered the entire lake.

    They struggled and twisted as if they were going to catch anything in the air.

    Seeing this picture, Hermione screamed and held Ivan's right arm.

    Ivan also took a step back and looked at the crazy lake with a lingering fear. Although he was ready, his heart was still screaming.

    Sirius and Harry's face were equally bad. They looked at the lake slyly, and the number of Inferius in front of them was completely more than they expected.

    After a few seconds, the dead bodies and ripples disappeared completely, and the speed was bizarre, as if they had never existed before. The stone that Sirius threw in was completely gone, not sinking into the bottom of the lake, but being broken down and dissipated by hard.

    ProfessorHarry shouted, his voice sounding much sharper than usual, not like his own.

    "You saw it, this is not the right way to wake them up."Dumbledore said calmly, "There are too many Inferius, it is impossible to destroy them all, we have to find where Regulus is dragged into the water."

    "What should we do if they rush out?"

    “Like many creatures living in the cold and in the dark, they are afraid of light and warmth, and we can use fire if needed.”Dumbledore said calmly, "The light and warmth brought by the fire can effectively restrain them!"

    ButHarry’s face was still full of horror.

    "You have to know that there is nothing terrible about dead bodies, just like there is nothing to fear in the dark."Dumbledore stared at the dark lake. "Voldemort doesn't think so. From the situation here, he must be secretly afraid of these two things. In this matter, he once again revealed his lack of wisdom. When we face death and darkness, what we are afraid of is nothing but unknown. There is nothing else. ”

    No one commented on Dumbledore's point of view, and no one argued.

    As you can see from the expression, everyone did not agree with what Dumbledore said. They felt particularly scary when they thought that the huge lakes in front of them were all dead bodies.

    Perhaps only a powerful wizard like Dumbledore is qualified to say this, he is not afraid of everything, even death.

    Ivan strives to recall the information that has just been seen from the book "Secrets of the Darkest Art" about Inferius: Inferius's production is not British magic circle traditional magic, but from some parts of Africa evil witchcraft, local wizard They will be turned into a "terrible servant" servant who can be "cursed and resurrected".

    In those tribal traditions, Inferius is considered a warrior or guard who is not concerned about his own safety.

    They have many uses and are easily recognized and respected by other tribal people.

    Only those bodies that make great contributions to the Horde are qualified to be made into Inferius, and they continue to guard the Horde after death. This is the supreme glory.

    After this witchcraft came to Europe, after centuries of development and change, it was gradually transformed into a dark wizard by the dark wizards, becoming a pure dark magic.

    Compared to African witchcraft, these Inferius, which were made by the dark wizard, may have a slightly weaker individual strength, but the method of making it is simpler and more fearless, and is considered one of the most evil dark magic.

    To make Inferius, you must use the dead body. From the huge lake area in front of you, there are a lot of Inferius.

    Ivan didn't know how Voldemort found these bodies, which meant killing.

    The clothes on these dead bodies are all in the ordinary muggle style, and they are most likely to be killed by Voldemort and other Death Eaters when Voldemort rose.
