Hogwarts Crawler

"Okay~ Go this way, there's a fire over there, watch your step..."

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the Jackal Head, Adam came to the bottom of the Fire Lake below the platform.

The Fire Lake was a blazing sulfur fire, but there was no raging flame at the bottom of the Fire Lake. Only the strong smell of sulfur filled the surroundings, and the empty metal racks seemed to be waiting for new souls to be tied up...

"According to what you said, Amit cannot devour souls without the order of Anubis, so why is the cage of the Fire Lake so empty?"

"In the past few thousand years, only a few living people have come here, and there is no soul of the dead."

The Jackal Head didn't seem to feel anything wrong at all.

"Only the living came here?"

"Yes, it seems that the order of the underworld has also been in chaos after the gods left..."

The Jackal Head said this and quickly added:

"That's why I need to maintain the remaining order here."

Not paying attention to the Jackal Head's words, Adam was more certain of his guess, but the most important thing now was to find Uther and the others.

"Didn't you say there are Amit here? Where are they?"

Amit has a crocodile's head, a lion's upper body and a hippopotamus's lower body. It is a collection of creatures feared by the Egyptians and represents the judgment of hell.

However, in the investigation and research of Egypt, no one has found this magical animal, so the academic community believes that this creature is either extinct or just a fictional creature made up by Egyptian wizards.

Not only Muggles, wizards also do this kind of thing. For example, the Quibbler is believed to often make up some non-existent creatures.

"Uh... Logically, they should be patrolling around the Fire Lake Cage. Maybe because there are no souls imprisoned here? We should be able to see them if we continue forward."

The Jackal Head also felt a little bad, but he still went forward.

There was a shouting sound in front of him, and he finally found something different. However, Adam's footsteps paused when he approached.

In front of him was a metal frame with souls tied to it. Flames gushed out from the bottom of the metal frame, burning the souls on it and making them wail.

"Souls will be roasted in the Fire Lake Cage?"

The Jackal Head staggered, and was grabbed by the ears and dragged to Adam, his eyes full of innocence:

"Of course... Otherwise... tie them up here and enjoy themselves?"

This is hell!

"..."

Adam didn't expect that this fake underworld would be so restored in such a place.

At this moment, the soul seemed to have discovered Adam and the Jackal Head, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth and spoke a string of ancient Egyptian.

"Sorry, I'm not from here, I don't understand."

After saying this, Adam grabbed the jackal's ear and started running forward.

"Hey, hey, my ear——"

The metal racks were not neatly arranged in a row, but were scattered all over the cage of the Fire Lake. After finding two souls and finding that they were not right, Adam realized that the souls here were not arranged in the order of their arrival, so he stopped and took out a Clow Card:

"The seal is lifted!"

The atmosphere that filled the surroundings took a specific shape at this moment. A gentle smile took shape first, followed by golden hair and a graceful body...

"Adam..."

"Wind, there's no time to say hello, help me find Uther, you've seen him!"

"Okay."

Feeling the anxiety in the contractor's heart, one of the four elements that built the world began to run wild, magic surged, and the blue-green mist swept to the end of the endless sight in the blink of an eye.

"Found it, come with me."

The jackal head, whose ears were finally released, had tears in his eyes. He pulled the ears on both sides to his eyes to see if the two ears were different in length. As a result, Adam grabbed both ears and pulled them forward-

"Ahh my ears!"

"Shut up!"

"Aww huhulu--"

The next moment, the jackal head was sealed in the mouth by the wind card with airflow, swallowing the wailing sound.

With the guidance of the wind card, it didn't take long for Adam to find Uther. What relieved him was that Uther was in good condition. Although he was also tied to the metal frame, he didn't wail like others.

His chest was cut open like his body, and there was a golden scarab inside. In addition, he was surrounded by protective magic that Adam felt familiar with.

Adam had released protective magic on Uther's body before, but he didn't expect that even the soul far away could be protected together.

He quickly cast a protective spell on Merian next to him, and then Adam ran to Uther and reached out to his roommate whose chest was cut open:

"Uther... I'm here to save you."

"Adam... woo——"Uther watched Adam walk up to him. He should have smiled because he was saved, but he couldn't help crying.

Fear, joy, emotion, grievance... all kinds of suppressed emotions surged up and could no longer be restrained. The only thing Uther could control was probably not to cry too loudly.

Patting Uther on the shoulder to signal him not to be anxious, Adam walked behind Uther and summoned the sword made of fairy mithril.

"This chain can't be untied..."

"Kacha——"

Seeing that the sword cut the metal frame and the chain together as neatly as cutting tofu, the jackal head silently closed his mouth and reduced his presence.

Putting Merian down again, Adam hugged Uther, who was crying louder and louder, and gave him a shoulder and a hug.

He discovered another ability of the love card, which can directly touch the soul.

Merian sat on the ground weakly, looking at Adam, who had only met him once before, with extremely complicated eyes.

Although the sudden appearance of the shield that blocked the flames was a strong proof, he never expected that Adam would really come here to save his son... Although Tuya said that Hufflepuff, where his son was, valued friendship, seeing the strength of this friendship with his own eyes still made him a little unbelievable.

"Woo... cough... cough cough!"

After venting his emotions, Uther gradually realized the current situation and found himself lying in Adam's arms. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed - fortunately, there were no tears and snot in the soul state, otherwise Uther thought that fainting might be a good choice.

What made Uther relieved was that Adam ignored it. After his crying stopped, he just let go of him and looked at Merian:

"Uncle, let's go. I have a way to untie the restraints on Uther's heart."

"No, unlike Uther, I died when my soul left my body. I can feel that I will soon go to the real underworld."

Merian shook his head, smiled at his son who had a sad face again, and then looked at Adam:

"Take Uther back. If you can save Uther, I have nothing else to ask for... I am really relieved that Uther has a friend like you. I even envy your friendship. With you around, I can also feel at ease. left. "

"What?"

The jackal was stunned, but Adam was not surprised at all:

"This is not the underworld."

"Although this is not the underworld, it should have some characteristics of the real underworld. In addition, the scale above may really be the treasure of Anubis."

Meriam wanted to continue speaking, but found that he was becoming more and more unreal, and then looked at Uther:

"It seems that I don't have much time. Remember to take the scale away, and help me say goodbye to your mother and tell her that I love her..."

After saying the last sentence, Merian turned into a silver-gray substance, lingering and sinking into the void. Uther couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"He...what did he just say, what does that mean?"

The Jackal felt his world collapse:

"This isn't the underworld? How is that possible? This is clearly--"

"What you should worry about is not whether this is the underworld..."

Arming Uther's shoulders, Adam looked at the Jackal:

"It's that there is no Amit here as you said."

The Jackal: "..."

It's bad, it seems that it will know whether this is the underworld or not next.
