A day at Hogwarts

There was a strong wind last night, and it rained heavily shortly afterwards. It was a little colder than yesterday.

When the old man customized the broomstick, he thoughtfully asked the manufacturer to add a weatherproof function, so that when he came to the hot cave, his whole body would be dry.

The cave is located halfway up the mountain, more than 20 meters wide and ten meters high, and rainwater cannot enter.

In the grass outside the cave entrance, several long stones were mostly buried. They were probably the remains of the stone doorposts. I don't know what they were used for before.

The cave was dark, without a trace of light, and the heat kept coming out, with some rotten smell, and the temperature was more than 20 degrees Celsius.

Charles thought to himself that the terrain in the Scottish Highlands is complex, there are volcanoes, and many hot springs, so it must be related to these.

He had a guess in his mind. Voldebats live in hot places like Africa and Oceania, and they will not travel all the way to this freezing place. Maybe someone brought them here and specially raised them in this place with high temperature. .

It's just that the heavy rain washed away the surrounding traces, and no relevant clues could be found.

"The original form is revealed!"

Charles stood at the entrance of the cave and used a spell to search for clues, but there was no movement around.

It was time to go into the hole, so he cheered up.

Charles put on his gloves and took out of his pouch a rat that he had caught last night.

The rat took a sleeping spell before entering the pouch and is still snoring.

There were still a lot of caustic potions that Neville got from failing to make the potion. Charles poured some into the small glass bottles that were originally intended to hold the explosive liquid, and then tied a few bottles to Shushu.

Finally, use a syringe to pour some chili oil into its chrysanthemum, adjust the direction, and cast a small magic spell of method sound to wake it up.

Shushu screamed and rushed into the hot hole. After more than a minute, the hissing and cracking lungs could still be heard faintly, and finally stopped abruptly.

After about half a minute, there was another dull collision sound in the hole, as if something huge was rolling.

Charles nodded, raised his wand and began to draw circles, recalling happy events in his mind.

"Call God to protect you!"

A silver-white deep-sea ship girl appeared, with two horns on her head, one long and one short, and two monster-like ship suits beside her with sharp fangs, and a sword-like horn on her neck... It is detachable. in hand.

If it was other ship girls, Charles couldn't bear to ask them to do a lot of things, but it's different when the model worker Purple Cabbage appeared, let's go to work.

The silvery purple cabbage floated into the hot hole, illuminating the surroundings, and Charles followed cautiously.

He was a little worried, so he took out a few magic lanterns, lit them and floated around, then cast the Iron Armor Curse on himself, for fear that a goblin would jump out of the dark and give him a sap in the back of the head.

The entrance of the hot cave gradually narrowed to a few meters, and the top of the passage was arc-shaped, which seemed to be excavated by hand. Many processed stones were buried by the soil for an unknown number of years, and only a corner was exposed.

Now is not the time for archaeology, Charles did not dig stones, and focused his attention on his surroundings, and he would "reveal himself" every five steps.

This passage is going up, and after more than fifty meters, a hall the size of two or three basketball courts appears in front of you.

The place is empty, and there are traces of something rolling on the ground near the passage, and the fragments of the glass bottle that contained the corrosive medicine just now glistened under the light of the purple cabbage.

Charles didn't go in rashly, but stood at the entrance of the passage, letting Purple Cabbage search for Voldebats, and using a magic lantern to illuminate the surrounding space.

A silver-white human figure floated back and forth in the dark space, but this person still had horns on his head, followed by two "monsters". This scene looked quite scary.

When the purple cabbage approached a corner, there was a sudden noise in the dark corner, and a huge black image could be vaguely seen in the place where the dim light shone. It was burned by a fire, and then fled to other places.

There was some wind noise from the place Voldebat passed by, Charles raised his wand, the sound was close to him, and he was ready for Avada to kill him at any time.

Voldebat seemed to be afraid of light, but the light from the magic lantern near the passage made it run away in another direction, followed by Purple Cabbage.

Charles immediately waved his wand, and clusters of blue flames shot out from the top of the wand. The intense light from the flames illuminated a large space and caused the temperature in the hall to rise rapidly.

The blue flame gradually occupied the entire hall, and the space for the Voldebat to run became smaller and smaller, until it was finally blocked behind the wall opposite the passage.

What happened next made Charles feel a little sympathetic to Voldebat. The monsters on both sides of the purple cabbage bit it firmly, and her fists rained down.

Voldebat kept struggling, and tried to turn around and wrap up the purple cabbage to suffocate, to see who could consume more energy than whom.

But it was useless, I saw the two monsters around Purple Cabbage shaking violently like a quilt, Voldebat was shaken out of a sinusoidal function, and then smashed hard against the wall.

After two minutes, Voldebat was finally killed.

Charles went to put the Voldebat's body in the bag, focusing on the part of the wall where it had just been smashed.

A piece of dust here has been smashed away, exposing stone bricks, which are warm to the touch, close to forty degrees Celsius.

Charles looked around, and under the firelight, he could see some door-sized holes around him.

He took the purple cabbage and went over to look carefully. Among the 18 holes here, the first 17 were half collapsed, and the ones that didn't collapse looked like living rooms. There was nothing inside, and the walls were also very hot.

The eighteenth hole was in the middle. Charles touched the wall. It was hot up, down, left, and right, but the temperature in front was cooler.

He thought for a while, and asked Zibaicai to clean up the wall in front of him.

It turned out that behind the dirt was a pile of fallen stones, which should have been the collapsed passage.

So Zibaicai played the role of a model worker and began to move the gravel and soil to the outside hall, and Charles drank a bottle of happy water to quench his thirst.

The temperature here is too high, and it's a bit stuffy, and the sweat on my body has been cleaned with a cleansing spell.

In the afternoon, the passage finally opened, and a very unpleasant smell came out.

Charles ran outside immediately. God knows how long it has been sealed inside, and whether there will be any poisonous and harmful gases.

There is no rush to explore further, at least wait until there is some fresh air inside.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes trampling on the mud, Bain, Ronan and other centaur rushed to the entrance of the cave in the rain.

Before Charles asked about the situation, Bain immediately ran to him, and was relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

"It's great that you're fine." Bane said, "Seeing that you haven't come back for so long, we thought something happened to you."

Ronan also came over, looked at him carefully and asked him, "You're not injured, are you?"

Charles scratched his head embarrassingly, he was busy letting Purple Cabbage clear the aisle just now, and forgot the time.

He released the Voldebat's body and said to everyone: "I'm fine. I eliminated the Voldebat. I opened a passage in the hot cave. You'd better not go in. It may be dangerous."

In the dark sunlight, you can see that the Voldebat on the ground looks like a ray, and the ground is almost like a black carpet, and the widest part is close to 10 meters.

Not only did the horsemen have never seen this kind of magical animal, even Newt Scamander, who had received the news and rushed over that night, saw the entity for the first time.
