Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 625
c623 Prepare to retreat
Since the entire top of the Holy Mountain is now filled with the flames of the curse, Mike actually senses the movements of Motorore and Harry very clearly.
At the same time, he also understood that those terrifying plants that could ignore the burning effect of the cursed flame were spreading across the top of the Holy Mountain at an alarming rate.
So almost at the same time that Harry started to move, the wand in Mike’s hand shook slightly, causing the surrounding cursed flames to turn into huge waves, pushing Harry closer to him.
“Mike! We have to get to that palace!”
After the rendezvous, Harry couldn’t wait to speak, and after hearing this, Mike, who had already known a lot of mutual aid information, naturally understood Harry’s plan.
He didn’t delve into how Harry knew there was a Pokyong in the palace. He nodded and directly controlled the flames to send the two of them to the palace.
At the same time, the golden-armored warrior who was still in the deep pit was hysterically tearing at the vines and various plants that kept coming out of the ground, as if he was crazy.
But he obviously still has some sense.
Because when he discovered that Mike and Harry were preparing to escape, he immediately stopped what he was doing and chased them.
Mike originally thought that Mortore wanted to stop them, but he didn’t expect that Mortore did not attack directly after approaching, but said loudly:
“Mike Townley! You have to stay and help me! Although your flames can’t kill those plants, they can effectively suppress their growth! We can drive them all back together!”
Motore’s words made Mike stunned, but only for a moment.
He would not be so foolish as to believe a guy who had just fought with him to death.
“Help me! Mike Townley! I am willing to withdraw our troops and give you war compensation, as long as you are willing to stay and help me!” Motore was still working hard, but Mike still did not stop, but increased his speed. , opened the distance between him and Motore, “Damn! Do you think you can get away with it just by walking away? Stop dreaming! You don’t understand what you are releasing! He will The whole world is ruined!”
Motore was finally angry. He casually summoned the Longinus Spear that was in the deep pit in the distance, and threw it directly towards Mike and Harry without accumulating any force.
But Mike had been on guard against this move for a long time. Facing the Longinus Spear, which did not break the speed of sound, Mike easily used Harry to escape with the Apparition Curse, and also arrived at the palace gate ahead of time.
Motore roared angrily when he saw this, and was about to continue the pursuit.
But at this moment, a huge vine with a diameter of more than two meters broke out from the rocky ground in front of him and smashed towards him.
Moto Lei’s pupils shrank suddenly and he hurriedly turned and hid.
But soon, a second group of vines rose from under its feet, followed by a third group, a fourth group…
It was as if there was some kind of mark on his body, and those vines were specifically focused on him to attack, which gave him no chance to continue chasing Mike and Harry.
At this time, Harry and Mike had already arrived at the entrance of the palace. Before entering the palace, Mike looked back at Mortore who was entangled in vines, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Then, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.
“Huhuhu!~”
A whistling sound sounded from the top of the Holy Mountain, and the cursed flames that originally filled the top of the mountain seemed to have received some kind of summons, rushing toward the palace where Mike was at an alarming speed, leaving only those cursed ones. The flames turned bright red magma and was still flowing slowly on the ground.
Without the suppression of the Cursed Flame, the growth rate of those strange plants also increased dramatically.
In magma, on burnt rocks, in giant deep pits where space cracks still vaguely remain…
They were like some kind of alien creatures that quickly adapted to various harsh environments. In just a short while, large tracts of green appeared on the top of the holy mountain that had been burnt to ashes by the cursed flames. .
This scene tore Motore’s eyes apart, while Mike smiled faintly, turned around and walked quickly towards the palace.
There are naturally those plants in the palace, but under the scorching heat of the concentrated cursed flames that Mike specially controlled, the growth rate of those plants is much slower than outside. This also allows Harry and Mike to gain enough time.
The interior of this palace is large and complex.
Various statues of simple shapes are placed throughout the hall, and a huge painted mural is painted on the semicircular ceiling.
Around the hall, there is an arc-shaped staircase leading to the second and third floors and countless rooms.
The most exaggerated thing is that all the walls of the entire palace are made of obsidian. This extraordinary material with first-class magic resistance makes it impossible for Mike to use magic perception to explore the scenes inside those rooms.
Obviously, it is not easy to find the Po Kong Pond in such a large space.
But this is not a problem for Mike.
Others may feel pity for this palace that can almost be called art, but Mike will not. He directly controls the cursed flames to sweep through the entire palace. Those obsidian walls have nothing to do with the cursed flames. The ability to resist was easily burned through and turned into lava all over the ground.
While Mike was looking for the empty pool, Harry got into trouble.
He also heard what Mortore said just now. For him who knew the horror of Elisia, he knew very well that if Elisia was really allowed to do whatever she wanted, then the scene that Mortore said would really happen. It might happen!
This is unacceptable to Harry, who cherishes Hogwarts and the wizarding world.
So he almost told Mike the truth just now.
But in the end he held back, because he could see that Mike was at the end of his strength. If he was asked to fight again at this time, Mike would probably die here today.
On one side is the life of his best friend, on the other side is the safety of the entire world.
For a moment, Harry was deeply entangled.
At this moment, as if he had read Harry’s inner thoughts, the strange laughter of Death Cloak suddenly rang in Harry’s ears.
His laughter made Harry even more irritated.
If the other party hadn’t plotted against him, then these situations wouldn’t have happened!
With this thought in mind, Harry tugged on the Death Cloak on his body in retaliation.
‘What a cautious guy! ’ The Death Cloak cursed angrily in Harry’s ear, ‘Don’t worry, your worries are unnecessary, that Alicia guy can’t get out of the Holy Mountain at all. ’
“How did you know!”
Harry instinctively retorted in a low voice, but because he was afraid of being discovered by Mike, he immediately covered his mouth.
‘Hehehe! Who do you think Saint Ouranos is? Didn’t he consider that Alicia would be out of trouble one day? ’ The Death Cloak Monster smiled and explained, ‘Actually, in addition to the oath chains in the deepest part of the Holy Mountain, the cage where Alicia is imprisoned also contains the entire secret realm of the Holy Mountain! Unlike ordinary secret realms, the Holy Mountain Secret Realm and the main world where you are are not on the same plane at all. So as long as you destroy the empty pond when you go out later, Alicia will not be able to escape no matter how powerful she is! ’
After hearing the explanation from the Death Cloak, the expression on Harry’s face finally relaxed a little.
But deep down he still felt a little uneasy.
After all, his previous experience at the foot of the Holy Mountain had already taught Harry a lesson and let him know that the Death Cloak had its own purpose, and he was definitely not someone who could be trusted 100%.
But now Harry chose to trust the other party for the time being. After all, from his heart, Harry didn’t really want Mike to die.
Thinking of this, Harry closed his mouth and said no more words.
At this time, Mike finally completed the exploration of the palace and found the Pokyong Pool hidden on the top floor of the palace.
Without saying a word, he picked up Harry and flew into the air with the help of the Cursed Flame, landing directly at his destination.
As soon as they landed, Harry and Mike’s eyes were attracted by the scene in front of them.
It was a small man-made garden. Although the flowers and trees inside had long been swallowed up by the cursed flames, the beauty of the place earlier could still be seen based on the various strange rocks remaining on the ground and some remaining traces.
In the center of the garden is a clear water.
It was said to be clear water, but both Harry and Mike knew that the liquid in the pond was definitely not a common liquid. After all, the cursed flames around it were not vegetarian. It had not evaporated at this temperature, which was definitely not normal.
Presumably, this should be the so-called Po Kong Pool.
Mike and Harry looked at each other, with joyful expressions on their faces.
Then Mike quickly walked forward and threw in the Masonic gold coins hanging on his chest.
This is the information Mike obtained from the old men in white robes who were studied previously. If you want to activate the empty pool, you need the coordinates of the destination. Now, the only thing Mike has that is most suitable for use as teleportation coordinates is Freemason gold coins.
If nothing else goes wrong, targeting it can easily transport Mike and Harry back to the secret realm of Freemasonry.
As for why Mike didn’t just use the Masonic gold coin with the function of a portkey to leave, it’s also very simple.
You must know that although the phantom transformation spell can be used on the holy mountain, it is only limited to short-distance teleportation.
The space here is dense and stable, and it seems to have been reinforced by some unknown space blocking spell. Even the apparation used by Mike cannot carry out ultra-long distance teleportation, let alone the air-breaking ability. Even worse door keys are needed.
Therefore, Mike estimates that if he wants to leave here, he can only use mysterious space teleportation objects such as the Sky Breaking Pool and the Any Door.
Of course, what Mike didn’t know was that there was actually no space blockade on the Holy Mountain. The most fundamental reason why he couldn’t use the Portkey and remote apparation was that the Holy Mountain was not at all like the main world they were in before. On one plane.
And having said all that, the Masonic gold coins that were thrown into the empty pool finally sank to the bottom of the pool.
Immediately afterwards, a series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the pool accompanied by a strange blue light.
Under the astonished gazes of Mike and Harry, the Masonic gold coin, which was entirely made of a special alloy, slowly began to dissolve.
Mike quickly withdrew his gaze. He knew very well that this was Po Kongchi analyzing the coordinates.
This will take some time.
Taking advantage of this free moment, Mike also turned to look at Harry beside him.
At this time, Harry was still staring at the Pond. The Death Cloak he was wearing still had not regained his invisibility and looked a bit tattered.
Mike’s expression also became a little complicated.
To be honest, he really had a lot to say to Harry, including questioning why Harry had such a big change and Harry’s true purpose.
In the past, he had mentally simulated a confrontation with Harry, but now that the two of them were officially standing side by side, he didn’t know what to say.
After staring for a long time, Mike finally sighed and said in a deep voice:
“Harry, I’m sorry.”
“What?”
Harry turned his head in confusion, as if he didn’t hear what Mike just said clearly, and seemed to be asking Mike why he was apologizing.
“I mean, I’m sorry for what Victor did. When I get back, I’ll let him apologize to you in person.”
This time Harry finally heard it clearly, and his expression changed quickly, eventually turning into a scowl.
“Apologise? What’s the use of apologizing? Can apologizing make all the pain I’ve suffered during this time disappear? Can apologizing make Professor Snape come back to life? Huh?!”
Harry clenched his fists and his voice became louder and louder, finally turning into a deafening roar.
However, when Mike heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then there was a strange look on his face.
He frowned and said:
“Professor Snape…he is not dead.”
“Eh?!”
This time it was Harry’s turn to be shocked. His eyes were wide open and he stayed there for half a moment before screaming out:
“Professor Snape is not dead!?”
“Yes, obviously Victor is not bad enough to want to kill his own professor.” Mike shrugged, “After you left, he directly sent the seriously injured Professor Snape to me. He has now recovered after a series of treatments…”
At this point, Mike paused and observed Harry’s expression before continuing:
“It’s just that the previous battle left him with some sequelae. For example, his right leg cannot be used. But don’t worry, making prosthetics is Victor’s specialty. He has already equipped Professor Snape with a mechanical prosthetic leg. ”
Harry didn’t know much about Victor’s achievements in mechanical prosthetics. When he heard that they were mechanical prosthetic legs, he immediately thought of Moody’s funny limp when he walked.
Replaced with Snape’s serious face, Harry laughed out loud.
