Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

"So, it seems that we have to leave some price behind." Augustus looked at the hard and dark wall with a strange expression.

"So I still have to say it's too low-level," Dumbledore shook his head slightly, and took out the silver dagger from his robe.

"I'll do it, Professor." Augustus discouraged Dumbledore.

Dumbledore, however, only smiled slightly.A silver light flashed, and a stream of dark red sprayed out, and the surface of the rock was immediately covered with shiny, dark red blood beads.

"Your tone really doesn't sound like a pure blood. For a nobleman, selfishness is a basic virtue." Dumbledore smiled, "However, it seems to be really effective, doesn't it?"

The outline of the dazzling white arch reappeared on the cave wall again, and this time it did not disappear.The blood-stained rock within the arch disappeared suddenly, revealing a doorway that contained what seemed to be endless darkness.

"Follow me." Dumbledore said and walked through the doorway, and Augustus followed him in.

It was a very strange sight before them.They stood on the shore of a large black lake, the lake was so wide that it stretched as far as the eye could see, and they couldn't see the opposite shore in the distance.The cave they were in was so high that they couldn't see the top of the cave when they 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 bright light from the two magic wands, the surrounding area is completely thick with darkness, and the penetrating power of these bright lights is not as strong as expected. The darkness here seems to be denser than ordinary , thicker.

Augustus indifferently opened his scrying eyes, a ray of blue light flashed across his silver pupils, everything became much clearer in his eyes, except for the edge of the cave, the lake was full of magical creatures of different strengths, and the center of the lake had a strong magical effect , in the center, there is a clearly visible magic barrier.It seems that Voldemort really cares about this stronghold.

"Let's go on," said Dumbledore softly, "be careful not to step into the water."

Their footsteps echoed on the narrow rocks by the lake.They kept going forward, but the scene around them did not change in the slightest: the rough cave walls on one side, and the endless, mirror-smooth black lake on the other, with the mysterious green light shining in the center of the lake.

"Actually, if my guess is correct, the horcrux should be in the very center of the lake, where the magic effect and enchantment reaction are the strongest. Of course, I have never seen the horcrux, so I can't infer its magical feedback , but with Voldemort's level of care, the chances of storing Horcruxes there are really high." Augustus touched his smooth chin and said directly in an affirmative tone.

"That's right. In the final analysis, we are looking for Horcruxes. Now that we have arrived, why not test it in the simplest way." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, and then said to himself.

"Oh? From the current point of view, the easiest test method is the Flying Curse." Augustus was silent for a while, then responded.

Stretching out the magic wand, a red light flashed across the sky, and with a bang like an explosion, a big white guy jumped up from the pitch-black lake twenty feet away.Before I could see what it was, it disappeared again with a splash, splashing large deep ripples on the calm water.

"Not bad silent spell," Dumbledore nodded, and looked towards the center of the lake again. "It seems that a little legacy skill is needed to reach the central area."

The silver pupils of Augustus gradually passed rows of deep blue star curtains. In the air, countless water elements and wind elements formed groups of unique Paima, floating deep in the pupils.

"I found it," Augustus' palm slowly slid in the air, as if grasping something invisible.

A few seconds later, Augustus closed his hands together and slowly moved towards the lake, then his wand streaked a red light in the air, and immediately, a thick green copper chain suddenly emerged from the depths of the lake, leaping To Augustus's hand in mid-air.He tapped the chain with his wand, and the chain began to slip through his fist, coiling in a heap on the ground, echoing loudly.The chain pulled something up from the dark bottom of the lake.The prow of a small boat emerged from the lake like a ghost, glowing green like a chain, and floated, barely a ripple, toward the shore where Augustus and Dumbledore stood.

"Oh? It seems that I took advantage of it." Dumbledore humorously said, "Young people's ability to smell and perceive magic is really amazing. Of course, you can take this as a A humble compliment, you know, Hogwarts doesn't represent a lot of young people."

Augustus shook his head slightly, and said humbly, "Everyone's magic traces have different styles. I have dealt too much with Voldemort. It is really hard to ignore this obvious trace of spellcasting."

"Well, valuable experience." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, "However, in this world, apart from those Death Eaters, there are not many people who can often deal with Tom."

Augustus slowly approached, stretched out his hand to touch the boat, and suddenly smiled, "This boat seems to be enchanted, and only one person can be allowed to cross the lake at a time."

Dumbledore also laughed, obviously understanding what Augustus meant, "Yeah, it was a good defense plan, but unfortunately he made a fatal mistake. He underestimated the young people too much, and the old people underestimated the young people, yes Stupid and forgetful. You go first."

Augustus stepped on it at a leisurely pace.Dumbledore stepped in too, coiling up the chains and piled them on the bottom of the boat.They were so crowded together that they could not sit comfortably, but stood on them with their knees on the side of the boat.Immediately the boat set off, and there was silence save for the soft rustle of the bows through the water.The boat was moving automatically without their hands, and it seemed that there was an invisible rope pulling it towards the green light in the middle of the lake.Soon the walls of the cave were out of sight and they felt as if they were on the sea, only without the waves around them.
