But the darkness is only a momentary thing, and in a blink of an eye, the light in front of Aiwen returned to normal.
They chose the correct arch. Behind the door is not the other shore, but a huge and magnificent building.
The Viking warship carried the six of them, and slowly slid out of a beautiful golden gate, with the moon beside them.
It's unbelievable, with a one in fifty-fourth chance, Dumbledore actually chose it, which is almost like a miracle.
Everything was so fast that it was only a blink of an eye, they didn't even have time to react, and even their heartbeat didn't change.
"It's here, this is the building I saw at the time." Ivan heard Harry shout, "Professor, how did you do it?"
His voice sounded weird, as if it didn't sound in reality, after all, they had no entity now, but a group of light and shadow on the warship.
"It's actually not that difficult. There are special magic marks on that door." Dumbledore said, sounding equally weird.
"How can you be sure that the mark was left by him to guide us, and not a trap?"
"Oh, this involves a little tacit understanding!" Dumbledore said, "As I said just now, this is a habit of my old friend when arranging this kind of magic. Unlike Voldemort, he fancy It's power, not death."
"strength?!"
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded, "Therefore, Voldemort's magic always finds ways to put people to death, just like what we saw in the cave where he kept Horcruxes before, consuming the blood of intruders And vitality, lakes full of infernal corpses and poisons that have to be drunk, there may be other arrangements in the thing he needs to protect itself, but Gellert is not, although he was once called the Dark Lord , but what he values more is strength. If the visitor has enough strength to be recognized by him, he will always be lenient. That guy likes to make friends with powerful people, and this has not changed from the beginning to the end. , He is always so lonely and paranoid, but he is not willing to put people to death."
Ivan heard Moody snorted heavily, obviously disdainful of Dumbledore's evaluation.
As we all know, Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore, but few people know that the relationship between them is not as simple as a simple confrontation. Love and hatred are intertwined. In short, it is very complicated. Listen to Dumbledore's words Undisguised appreciation and recognition, this is not an evaluation of an enemy.
In Dumbledore's view, Voldemort is a murderous lunatic, but Grindelwald is not.
In fact, for most wizards, both are pretty much the same.
Because they certainly did not have the strength recognized by Grindelwald, the result they faced with him was the same as when they faced Voldemort, death.
Considering the complicated relationship between the principal and Grindelwald, Aiwen felt that it was best not to comment.
Since his defeat by Dumbledore, Grindelwald has been imprisoned in the tallest tower in Nurmengard.
Theoretically, only Dumbledore can enter that tower, and no one knows where the principal spends his summer vacation every year.
Imprisonment in a high tower, drinking together to reminisce about the past, playing bondage games, etc. Anyway, I can do anything for such a long time...
The Viking warship moved forward slowly, and in front of them near the wall was a raised platform fixed to the highest point of the building.
There was their destination, where the station ship finally docked.
Elaine held Ivan's sleeve tightly, as if frightened by the sight in front of her.
This is a huge building, the color of the bricks is mainly dark gold, covered with dust, the most striking thing is that the middle part seems to have been destroyed by some cylindrical thing from top to bottom, the dome is broken, you can see to the moon outside.
The middle position is open, and everything corresponding to the inside of the building is destroyed.
Judging from the ruins of the surrounding walls, the interior decoration of the building once seemed exquisite and divided into several layers, but everything has been destroyed by powerful forces.
This feeling is like being pierced by a stick down the mountain, destroying everything in the way.
Of course, if you look at the traces of destruction around you, you will know that the stick that destroyed everything is infinitely thick, infinitely large, and infinitely long, beyond imagination.
Aiwen prefers that this is destroyed by a powerful energy, rather than the real thing.
In short, there is nothing below the gap in the dome, and instead there is a bottomless abyss.
As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight.
Viking warships sailed quietly over the abyss, and under their feet, the sound of waves came from a huge sinkhole.
That's what Harry heard, not the waves, but the howling of the wind over the rocks, where they meet and form a gigantic whirlpool of air that sucks everyone into it, into the deepest depths of hell, these sounds It is the welcome voice from hell.
Not to mention going down into this terrible abyss, just standing here, Aiwen felt dizzy intensely.
Their current position is very dangerous. In the darkness, the abyss, the ruins, and the full moon, the figures of human beings are so small that they are not worth mentioning, not to mention the tall and realistic reliefs on the surrounding walls that have not been destroyed.
They are all statues of ancient viking warriors with hideous faces and weapons in their hands.
The statues are next to each other, from top to bottom, densely covering the entire wall.
I don't know why, Ivan has a feeling that these statues seem to be alive...
In addition, he still has strong doubts in his heart, where is this huge building
Also, how was it corrupted
Looking at the damage around, how much strength is needed to do this? !
"Professor, was this space created by Grindelwald?" Ivan asked.
"I don't think so. It should be that he discovered this place and rearranged some magic. This building should be built by ancient spellcasters. The Viking warship under our feet, the five hundred and forty gates of Valhalla, And the statues around..." Dumbledore's wand came out with white mist to block the cold wind blowing up from below. He looked at the statues of Viking warriors on the surrounding walls and fell into thought, "This reminds me of a Interesting place."
"Where?" asked Sirius.
"Hall of Valor!" Dumbledore said gently, "I don't know if you have heard of it?"
"Hall of Valor?!" Hearing Dumbledore's prompt, Ivan also remembered.
No wonder he had a familiar feeling just now, the Viking warship, the five hundred and forty doors, the huge dark golden building, and the Viking warrior in front of him, all these information that appeared in the Nordic mythology can only be combined together. reached a conclusion.
This is the legendary Hall of Valor, and they really came to a remarkable place.
