All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 49: Tracking in the Underground Palace (Revised, typos have been corrected)

Lifting the tapestry behind the children's bookshelf, Allen raised his wand: "Fluorescence."

After throwing the light ball at the tip of the wand into the tunnel, he didn't find any movement. After waiting for a while, in order to prevent any accidents, Allen cast a disillusionment spell that came with the wizard's robe, and then lifted the tapestry behind the children's bookshelf. , hunched into the tunnel.

The four walls of this passage are painted with patterns everywhere, and they are still bright and bright despite the tempering of time.

The floor is also specially decorated with colorful tile puzzles. A zigzag line composed of red tiles about 2 feet wide extends down the passage. Some fragments and cracks at the end of the corridor show that the stone surface of the corridor was covered and bonded with plaster, and the surface of the mural can be seen to have been polished and smoothed.

Allen took a cursory look at the mural and found that it was a scene of a wizard doing alchemy. However, the red liquid in the cauldron made the mural somewhat strange and ominous. But now Allen didn't have the time to go into details, he just wanted to know more. Slowing his steps and holding his wand in his hand, ready to attack at any time, he descended the stairs along the tunnel and walked intermittently through several gentle passages.

After not walking for long, Allen opened the cellar door above his head and was shocked by the cold wind that came in, and he saw the light.

This was a small utility shed. The afternoon sunlight shone directly from the skylight on the roof, hitting the spot where Allen crawled out. Allen, who had been in the dim environment for a while, quickly reached out to cover his eyes. After a while, he got used to the light.

Pushing open the door and walking out, this is an abandoned garden. Snow is piled thickly on the high and low land. Leaving the garden, the surroundings are desolate and desolate. Farmhouses built of wood, mud, and straw are sparsely scattered in the wilderness. superior.

Allen looked back and saw that not far from the farmhouse, there stood a manor surrounded by high walls. Here, you could also see a few patches of snow on the roof of the castle in the manor, gathering scattered sunlight. Shining, behind the manor, some towering peaks reach into the clouds. From a distance, they look like reefs in the sea.

Allen judged the time and estimated that according to Emily's habit, she would wake up in a while. He quickly returned to the original route and passed by the bathroom when he heard a noise inside. Knowing that Aunt Josephine was taking a bath, he already felt something in his heart. A rough plan.

After restoring the tapestry to its original state, he returned to the bedroom door. The little girl in red and raising toads appeared in the portrait on the door again. She glanced at Allen quickly and disappeared in an instant.

Allen pushed the door open and went in. Fortunately, his sister was still sleeping soundly. Allen tiptoed over and climbed onto the bed. He tucked his sister under the quilt and lay down, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Afterwards, Alan played with Emily in front of his aunt for an afternoon, and then chatted with Aunt Josephine and asked her some interesting things about her time in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, after putting Emily to sleep again, Allen cast a "Good Sleep Spell" on the little girl. According to the "Encyclopedia of Spells", this was invented by a wizard who suffered from insomnia and hair loss. The spell - although it was different from his suspicion that his hair loss was caused by insomnia, at least he solved half of his troubles.

After kissing Emily's sleeping forehead, Alan turned and left, waiting for his aunt's arrival in front of the bathroom - this was of course not for peeping, but because he wanted to steal her wand while her aunt was taking a shower. , unlike when there are adult wizards around or at home, the Ministry of Magic can allow young wizards like Harry to hide under the quilt in their room to cast fluorescent flashes, or allow young wizards like Hermione to practice in advance before enrolling at home and recover as before, as long as they do not Being seen by Muggles wasn't a problem. But the location we went to this time obviously did not have this condition, and there was a high chance that attack spells would be used. Fortunately, Allen was not as picky about wands as some wizards.

After getting his aunt's wand, in the farmhouse, Allen used the halo of academic master to predict Albert's location. This kind of magic exceeded Allen's current ability and should only be used when he is in a higher grade. Detection - if you are more familiar with the object being detected, the more information you know, and the better the effect will be. Logically speaking, it should be paired with some polished silver mirrors and magic potions, or a method that can emit smoke to reveal images. It is used in conjunction with tools similar to hookahs, but this condition is not available now, so Allen had to spend more time focusing on casting spells to complete and obtain enough information. Fortunately, the target was a brother he was familiar with, but even if With the bonus of the halo of academic master, in the end it was only possible to determine the approximate location of the eldest brother Albert.

To Allen's surprise, the system seemed to suddenly issue an unexpected mission to find the moon gems without warning after Allen completed the divination. This made Allen feel that the system was often in a trance when issuing tasks. Reliable, they don’t even explain the rewards now...

But there was no time to think about it. Allen walked out of the farmhouse again. He called up the flying broomstick Neptune from the storage space, turned over and rode it, and drove away as fast as possible.

The sky, which originally still had some moonlight, slowly became darker, and the smell of rain in the air became heavier and heavier.

Finally, it began to rain heavily, accompanied by the roar of huge thunder across the ground. The moon was completely hidden behind thick thunderclouds, and a freezing wind blew from the north. The light of lightning passed through the clouds, sometimes hitting the ground with roars. Some falling raindrops were frozen by the winter climate into snowflakes, mixed with heavy raindrops and fell in waves.

The cold sleet and snow in winter were blowing wildly around Allen. Fortunately, Allen's physique was far better than that of ordinary people his age, and the robe on his body also had a constant temperature function, otherwise he would not have been able to fly for long.

Through the occasional flash of lightning, the farmhouses on the ground seemed to be flattened and then spread out. Allen was galloping at an incredible speed. In the hazy night, he moved from the village to the wilderness, close to the destination, in front, far away. A huge and towering stone mountain appeared everywhere, its outline reflected on the empty horizon by the occasional flash of lightning.

When he got close enough, Allen discovered that a clever Muggle expulsion spell had been cast here. After flying around the stone mountain, and having a complete impression of it in his mind, Allen stepped on the ground with his feet. I found that the touch from the soles of my feet actually felt like stepping on cotton.

This stone mountain is essentially a stone tower dug out of the original natural structure. It looks like a huge rock protruding from the ground. The inconsistency caused by the surrounding wilderness makes the stone tower look like it is mercilessly abandoned. Look down at the earth. A handful of narrow ledges offered little protection, but as Allen got closer and took a closer look, he discovered an arched entrance about 20 feet high and 10 feet wide, cutting deep into the thick rock into the heart of the mountain.

The ground outside the entrance slopes outward, directing rainwater to flow outward. Considering this fact and the solid nature of the mountain, the area inside the door opening should be dry and safe from lightning, rain, and snow. The structure looks solid.

In fact, even under such severe weather conditions, the possibility of collapse is extremely slim.

Allen, who noticed that there was no one guarding him, approached the entrance. He cast Cleansing on himself to clean up the rain and snow on his body, and then activated the phantom spell that came with the robe, so as to avoid being invisibly affected by the body when the invisibility was in effect. Falling rain exposure.

Allen did not enter blankly, but searched the entrance more carefully. Unlike many young wizards who were born in orphanages or Muggles whose parents died, they like to think that those who are not useful except magic and witchcraft His knowledge helped him. Through the history of magic and the knowledge of wizard architecture that he read in his books, Allen could definitely judge that the stone part of the door and the stone structure nearby were indeed very strong, and found that there were a few scattered near the entrance. The remains of fragments of a giant boulder that seemed to have blocked the door from opening, but now exploded into fragments under the spell. The door is very heavy, but it is well stabilized by magic spells commonly used on wizard buildings. It can be easily pushed open by weak wizards, and will swing back and close by itself when there is nothing to support it.

He put the tip of the wand against the door and put the tail of the wand in his ear to listen for some movement behind the door. After finding that there was no sound at all for several minutes, Allen pushed the door open a little and squeezed in.
