Chapter 381 "Flying Fish"

Sherlock has never met Regulus, but after all, he still goes to the ancestral house of the Black family, so he is not unfamiliar with the name.

"Sirius' brother?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"He had already been involved with the Death Eaters when he was in school, and after graduation, he showed his attitude undisguisedly and became Voldemort's loyal subordinate."

After confirming the identity of the person who came, they didn't make a sound, but watched Regulus and Kreacher, a pair of master and servant, approaching the stone platform.

Regulus seemed to say something to Kreacher, and Kreacher became very frightened.

He yelled in panic, his amazingly big eyes seemed to jump out of their sockets with excitement.

But Regulus' expression was very resolute, he shook his head and rejected Kreacher's proposal, and then gave him a certain order with a stern expression.

Kreacher's face turned sad, he was being forced, obviously to do something he didn't want to do.

Then, the white phantom of Regulus just scooped up the poison in the stone basin and drank it!
The poison Voldemort used to protect the Horcrux was so powerful that after taking the third sip, Regulus fell to his knees, crying and unable to drink any more.

At this time, Kreacher painstakingly and faithfully carried out the order given to him by his master before, and he forcefully fed those potions into Regulus's mouth, no matter how much he begged.

Apparently, Kreacher had received higher-level instructions before preparing to drink the poison.

In this way, Regulus drank all the potions in the stone basin by himself, and finally he collapsed on the ground, his body twitching in pain.

But Kreacher didn't stop his movements.

He took a locket from the empty stone basin, and then took a new locket from his body and put it in.

Regulus couldn't resist the burning thirst in his mouth, he struggled to climb to the edge of the lake, just like Kreacher before, wanting to drink the water in the lake.

But before he opened his mouth, he seemed to be pulled by something, and countless hands grabbed him, as if they were going to drag him into the bottom of the lake!
Kreacher screamed, and he rushed to Regulus and grabbed his Master's ankle, looking like he was going to Apparate.

But his body disappeared in place, but Regulus didn't leave with him!

The magic established by Voldemort here is extremely powerful. Although there are loopholes such as house elves, even if the elves are with them, the wizard has no way to leave with them.

After finding out that Regulus hadn't been taken away, Kreacher returned here again.

He knelt down on the ground sadly, watching his most beloved young master being dragged into the lake bit by bit by those arms, until the white phantom representing Regulus completely disappeared in the small rock. island.

Kreacher's white phantom knelt on the ground and cried for a long time, and finally disappeared into the cave with the locket taken from the stone basin.

The island fell into silence.

Both Sherlock and Dumbledore were silent, neither of them spoke, and this silence lasted for a long, long time.

Until Sherlock broke the silence first.

"Regulus betrayed Voldemort. After he got the information about the Horcrux from Kreacher, he came back here with him and took it."

Dumbledore's expression was very complicated, with sighs, relief, anger, and guilt, he said.

"He didn't let Kreacher sacrifice for him. He really regarded this elf as his family. Everyone thought that he was Voldemort's most loyal subordinate until his death. But judging from his performance, he and others Those images in people's cognition are very different, and I have misunderstood him before. I would rather die myself than let the elf replace him. This behavior is enough to see his character."

Sherlock is also very emotional, not all pure-blood families are people who are blind to their interests.

Among them are not only heterogeneous families like the Weasley family, nobles like the Longbottom family, but also polarized families like the Black family. Some members are willing to die for Voldemort, while others become Sirius and Regulus. Such a character.

"Now that we have seen this, we will justify Regulus' name. Professor, the key now is that the real locket that was originally placed here has been replaced and taken away by Kreacher, and now in the poison The probability below is a fake, and only Kreacher knows where the real Horcrux is."

"We're going to find Kreacher and ask him where the locket he exchanged is."

The picture of history prevented them from taking unnecessary risks first. Judging from the current situation, Sherlock's feeling is not wrong at all. The things hidden here have nothing to do with the Horcrux.

Dumbledore turned into a raven again, stood on Sherlock's shoulders, and walked into the boat with him.

The moment they boarded the boat, the ghostly hull began to drive itself away from the rocky island.

However, while the boat was gliding towards the shore, countless ripples appeared on the originally calm lake!
"They were alarmed," Sherlock said, frowning.

Standing on his shoulders, Dumbledore opened his beak.

"Flame, this is what the corpse fears the most."

As soon as his words fell, countless pale arms stretched out from the lake!

Those walking corpses, who acted entirely on their own beast-like consciousness, jumped out of the lake, like a school of flying fish jumping out of the sea.

And all their targets are the boat that Sherlock and Dumbledore are on!
Sherlock didn't recite the spell, and dozens of wands had appeared around him at some point.

The wand floated beside him, and they waved it together in unison!

At the moment when all the small wooden sticks swung for the last time and danced down suddenly, the surrounding air instantly became agitated!
At the moment when the Yin Corpse that first jumped up from the bottom of the lake leaped into the air and landed on Sherlock's head, the red and yellow flames exploded like fireworks!

The scorching high temperature spread around the boat where Sherlock and Dumbledore were located, and the infernal corpses that were avoiding them opened their mouths wide, and before they could even scream in pain, they were engulfed by the overwhelming flames in the blink of an eye. engulf!

The original calm lake has now turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the boat continues to move towards the shore. In the direction it is heading, the flames will automatically separate to leave a path for them to leave this dark place.
