Hearing Kreacher's words, Sirius rushed forward.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to want to rush into the lake to find Regulus' body.
"No, Sirius!"
Looking at the figure of Sirius, Harry and Hermione screamed, but fortunately Dumbledore stopped him at the last moment.
"Let me go!" gasped Sirius. "I'm going to find Regulus."
"I can understand your feelings, Sirius, but we must be careful." Dumbledore said softly, "This black lake is very dangerous. You have also heard Kreacher's description and know what is hidden in it. corpses, and these lakes"
"I'm not afraid of danger, and I'm not afraid of Inferi either!"
"I know, but you will not help Regulus by rushing directly into the lake. You are only doing a disservice."
Sirius was silent and gradually calmed down.
"Very well, let's go forward. Kreacher just mentioned the island in the center of the lake and the stone altar that was originally used to store the Horcruxes. I want to go there and have a look first." Dumbledore continued, "You A few followed me, remember, don't step into the water."
He walked around the shore of the lake, and Aiwen and the others followed closely behind him.
Their footsteps echoed on the narrow rocks by the lake.
They kept going forward, time passed, but the surrounding scene did not change at all: on one side was the rough cave wall, on the other side was the boundless, mirror-like black lake surface, and the mysterious green light shone in the center of the lake .
No one spoke, and the place and the silence were oppressive and disturbing.
Aiwen has been looking into the lake. The dark lake water is as bright and smooth as black glass. Although he can't see anything, he knows that under the calm lake, countless ferocious corpses are watching quietly. a few of them.
"When are we going to go like this?" Sirius said impatiently, his voice echoing loudly in the silent darkness.
"There is a big boat that can take us to the center of the lake, but Kreacher can't remember where the boat is." Kreacher said tremblingly, and punished himself by scratching his ears again.
"Don't worry, we'll find it." Dumbledore stopped Kreacher.
"I don't understand why it is necessary to go to the island in the middle of the lake and go directly into the lake to find Regulus."
"Going down to the lake? Unless our luck is particularly bad!" Dumbledore said, "You can try it, Sirius, don't touch those lakes with your hands, use magic or throw something into it, and see what happens What."
Sirius picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the lake.
Accompanied by a loud noise, countless pairs of white, marble-like dead hands stretched out from the calm lake.
These hands appeared suddenly, without any warning, as if from hell.
A second later, the lake boiled instantly, and the hands of the dead body covered the entire surface of the lake.
They struggled and twisted, as if trying to grab something in the air.
Seeing this picture, Hermione screamed and held Ivan's right arm tightly.
Ai Wen also took a step back, looking at the crazy lake with lingering fear. Although he was prepared, his heart was still beating wildly.
Sirius and Harry also looked bad. They stared at the lake in a daze, and the number of ghosts in front of them completely exceeded their imagination.
After a few seconds, the dead bodies and ripples completely disappeared at an uncanny speed, as if they had never existed before. And the stone thrown in by Sirius also completely disappeared, it didn't sink into the bottom of Dao Lake, but was forcibly decomposed and dissipated.
"Professor!" Harry yelled, his voice much shriller than usual, hardly his own.
"As you can see, this is not the correct way to wake them up." Dumbledore said calmly, "There are too many infernal corpses, and it is impossible to wipe them all out. We must find the place where Regulus was dragged into the water. "
"What do we do if they come out?"
"Like many creatures that live in cold and darkness, they are afraid of light and warmth. If necessary, we can use fire." Dumbledore said calmly, "The light and warmth brought by fire can effectively restrain them." !"
"But" Harry still had horror written all over his face.
"You have to know that there is nothing to be afraid of dead bodies, just as there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark." Dumbledore stared at the dark lake, "Voldemort doesn't think so, judging from the situation here, he must be secretly afraid of these two things." Stuff. In this matter, he once again exposed his lack of wisdom. When we face death and darkness, we fear nothing but the unknown."
For Dumbledore's point of view, no one voiced an opinion, and no one disputed it.
It can be seen from the expressions that everyone disagrees with what Dumbledore said. When they thought that the huge lake in front of them was full of dead bodies, they felt particularly terrifying.
Perhaps only a powerful wizard like Dumbledore is qualified to say this. He is fearless about everything, even death.
Aiwen tried hard to recall the information about the necromancy that he had just read in the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic": the production of necromancy is not traditional magic in the British magic world, but comes from evil witchcraft in some parts of Africa. The sorcerers turned "cursed resurrected corpses" into manipulative "dreadful puppet" servants.
In those tribal traditions, the Inferi were considered warriors or guardians of the dead who did not care about their own safety.
They have many uses and are easily recognized and respected by other tribesmen.
Only the corpses of those who have made great contributions to the tribe are eligible to be made into ghost corpses, and continue to guard the tribe after death. This is the supreme honor.
After this witchcraft spread to Europe, after several centuries of development and changes, it was gradually transformed by black wizards into what it is now, becoming a pure black magic.
Compared with African witchcraft, the individual strength of these ghosts made by black wizards may be slightly weaker, but the production method has become simpler, and they are also fearless. They are considered to be one of the most evil black magic.
The corpses that have just died must be used to make yin corpses. Judging from the size of the huge lake in front of you, there are a lot of yin corpses inside.
Ivan didn't know how Voldemort found these corpses, which meant massacre.
The clothes on these dead bodies are all ordinary Muggle styles. They are likely to be killed by Voldemort and other Death Eaters when Voldemort rose. (.)
