Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 243 Labyrinth
Augustine looked at the maze in front of him and said: "This magic maze is very light. Even if Douglas is the director of the Department of Dangerous Dark Magic Items and holds the key in his hand, if he is indeed cast with the Imperius Curse, he probably won't be able to take it away too. Lots of dark magic items."

"That's not necessarily true. He must have stolen a lot."

Maureen thought of Lucas yesterday, that guy had a lot of dark magic items in his hand, and blocked a Muggle office building with those powerful black magic items, fooling all the Ministry of Magic staff present.

Fortunately, Mo Lin rushed over in time, otherwise Alton would have an accident, which is what he cares most about.

"Why are you so sure?" Augustine looked at Mo Lin, raising his eyebrows.

Mo Lin said calmly: "When my grandfather came home yesterday, he told me that Lucas had a lot of black magic items in his hands. My grandfather and the others were in danger of life. If it wasn't for the black magic items, so many magic items Staff, shouldn't they be unable to catch Lucas?"

"That's true, those Ministry of Magic staff are experienced people."

Augustine nodded slightly. Of course he had heard about what happened yesterday. The Loken magnet that could collapse a Muggle building into a ball was originally stored in this warehouse. They came here to confirm the location of the warehouse. How many of your belongings have been stolen, so be prepared.

"But don't worry, he can't remove all the items in the black magic warehouse, and it's not even possible to remove ten items," Augustine said.

"Why?" Merlin asked.

"You'll find out later."

Augustine looked at the entrance of the maze, and saw seven forks in front of him, each of which led to nowhere.The labyrinth is made up of old stone blocks, and orange torches are hung at intervals on the wall, slightly illuminating the passage.

"Let me see how to get through the maze."

Augustine rummaged through his pocket and found a golden ring, about the size of a wrist, with a pointer floating in the center of the ring. The pointer was of different thicknesses, and the thin end pointed in one direction.

"This is a star compass." Arnock knew that Molin didn't understand, so he explained: "There are two star compasses in total, and one is at the exit of the maze. No matter where you go, the two pointers of the star compass will point to each other, so follow the If you follow the direction indicated by the star compass, you can pass through the maze."

"So that's the case." Molin looked at the star compass curiously, and he asked again: "If there is no star compass, can you pass through the maze?"

"No, because the path of the maze is not fixed and changes at any time. Any magic that guides the direction is ineffective here, and I can guarantee this." Anok said with certainty.

Wizards would often use a wand to cast a simple spell to give direction, but that spell clearly has no effect here.

"Then Lucas...I mean, how did Douglas, who was cast with the Imperius Curse, pass through this maze?" Mo Lin asked, looking at the star compass in Augustine's hand.

"That requires us to figure it out." Anok frowned.

They took a step forward, and the moment they stepped into the maze, Mo Lin was surprised to find that all the walls in front of him seemed to start to spread apart, huge stones were floating around them, and the fork in the maze just disappeared.

Not only that, the floor under his feet suddenly shattered, and the debris began to fall down. Below was the hot magma. The magma seemed to be boiling, bubbling non-stop, and the fiery breath rushed towards his face.

And they were standing in the void, with a stone slab on the sole of their feet.

"Is there real magma underneath?" Mo Lin couldn't help asking, the feeling of stepping on a pile of magma was a bit weird, and it might not be pleasant if you accidentally fell down.

"Then there is still a fake?" Anok curled his lips.

"Isn't this a maze? You know, the kind of alley that leads to a dead end." Molin thought he would turn left and right like that kind of aisle that goes around, but this is still Without going, those winding aisles disappeared.

"Who stipulated that the maze must look like that? You see so many stones floating around, don't they also look like a maze?" Arnock said with a cheerful smile.

Mo Lin curled his lips, why are the things designed by Arnock always different.

Augustine was already walking in the direction pointed by the pointer of the star compass. Every time they took a step, the huge boulders suspended around them would fly to the bottom of their feet, like steps. will fly away automatically.

"Douglas does not have this star compass. Every time he wants to enter the black magic item warehouse, he has to register and report. Let me apply for this star compass. I don't understand how he passed this maze." Augustine said.

If the star compass had always been in the hands of Augustine, it would be a bit surprising that Douglas would not have been able to walk through here even if he had the key to the door just now.

Molin followed closely beside Anok, and they had been walking for about 5 minutes at this time. When Molin looked back, he no longer knew where he had just come from, and he couldn't see the entrance behind him.

"What happens if you go wrong?" Mo Lin asked.

"If you go wrong, the steps will not fly over, you will definitely fall down, maybe you will be trapped here, it depends on how you save yourself, not everyone can come in here, after all, it is a place where dangerous black magic items are stored." Arnock is very confident in his maze magic.

But as soon as the words fell, Augustine, who was walking in the front, suddenly exclaimed, stepped on the air, and fell down.Maureen was startled, and was about to grab Augustine, but Augustine disappeared before their eyes.

"Ah? No way? Is this a problem?" Mo Lin was surprised.

"Wait a minute, don't move around." Anok frowned, motioning for Mo Lin to stop.

"What's the matter? Minister Augustine fell? Should we save him?" Mo Lin poked his head out and looked down. Unfortunately, there was no one in the hot magma below. At least he should be heard when he fell in, right?

Plopping, puffing, sputtering, etc., even if there is a sizzle, is it normal to make a barbecue sound?

"Augustin will not have any accidents. I still left some back roads for this place to prevent accidents for my own people. He is just trapped in another place, and other people may not be sure." Anok knelt down and touched the soles of his feet. The stone slab he was stepping on became more and more heavy.

"Is there a problem with the star compass? Why did Minister Augustine fall?" Mo Lin asked inexplicably.

"There is a problem, and it's still a big problem." Arnock groped for a moment under the stone he stepped on, and then took out a painting from under the stone.

The painting shows an endless sea, and there is an isolated island in the sea. A ship is moored by the reef beside the island. Several sailors are sitting on the exposed reef of the isolated island with despairing faces. One of the sailors with a sallow complexion said weakly. : "We've lost our way, it's over."

Another sailor is shouting for help towards the sea, hoping that someone will come to save them, and another sailor suggested to put his body in SOS, and the two are arguing about who should put S and who should put O.

"You also arranged this painting?" Mo Lin looked at the sailors walking around in the painting, puzzled, why hang a painting in this place?
Arnock said solemnly, "Can't you see it?"

"See what?"

Maureen put his eyes on the painting again, and then his eyes froze suddenly, because there were two motionless people standing on the deck, and the anxious expressions on their faces were very realistic, but different from those sailors, on the deck The two of them will not move.

"This is--"

Mo Lin was slightly surprised. There are people who can't move and people who can move at the same time in a painting. This style of painting is very familiar to him.

"Painted? Does this matter have anything to do with him?" Mo Lin exclaimed.
