Chapter 196 Hogwarts' New Secret Road
With Dementors guarding all sides of Hogwarts, it's unlikely Peter Pettigrew would have walked through the door if he wanted to escape.

The secret passages leading to the outside of the school naturally became the top priority.

Not to mention those secret passages that may not have been discovered, there are as many as five that they know of.

There are only two Rossi and Blake, obviously understaffed.

"It seems that we have to find foreign aid."

Rosie, who was hiding in a hidden corner on the third floor of the castle, looked at Black.

"Looking for foreign aid? Who?"

Black lowered his voice, "You must first ensure that the foreign aid you recruit will not betray me."

At this moment, a thick-haired cat quickly jumped down from upstairs.

"Crookshanks?"

Rosie, who had seen the cat a lot these days, immediately recognized it as Hermione's pet.

"Meow!"

Crookshanks called out to Rosie, and then stopped right in Black's footsteps.

No, it looked like it was coming for Blake.

"This cat is very smart. I have communicated with it for a long time, and finally it understands my thoughts."

Black looked down at Crookshanks, and said proudly to Rosie, "It's helping me find Peter."

After a pause, he smiled dryly and said, "It just looks a little naughty."

"I know it's smart..." Rosie's eyes were fixed on their interaction.

Crookshanks tugged at Black's trouser legs with his mouth, and the four short legs tried to back away, but Black just pushed it aside with a smile on his lips.

But you don't look very bright, Blake!

Rolling his eyes, Rossi complained speechlessly in his heart.

Kneeling down, stroking its soft fur gently, asked in a gentle voice:

"Crookshanks, have you found something? Are you taking us there?"

"Meow~"

Crookshanks immediately gave up wrestling with Black, and instead rubbed Rosie's hand a few times with his flat face.

Immediately afterwards, it circled around Rossi twice, and quickly climbed upstairs.

Obviously trying to take them to find something.

"Uh... it means let's follow it?"

Seeing this scene, Black's tone was obviously mixed with annoyance.

Looking back at him like a fool, Rossi sighed and didn't speak.

God knows how many times he missed it...

Dodging waves of students rushing downstairs in a hurry, the two of Rossi followed Crookshanks all the way to the seventh floor.

After turning the corner and past a washroom and a classroom office, Crookshanks stopped at the end of the corridor.

There hung a thick and colorful painting of a rural landscape.

In the foreground of the picture is a small river, and beside the river is a house with a closed gate. Beside the house, a puppy of various colors is standing there looking into the river.

Crookshanks was circling back and forth there, turning around and meowing a few times from time to time.

"Do you know what mechanism is hidden here?"

After quickly flipping through the documents he saved about the Hogwarts Secret Road, Rossi, who found nothing, turned his attention to Black.

"do not know."

Blake stared at the painting on the wall, "But I can probably guess it."

As he spoke, he paced to the wall and stroked the puppy's back lightly a few times.

"When I was in school, there was no such painting here. If it has some mechanism, it should be made by some later student.

Well... for us Marauders, it's just a trick. "

During school, Blake and the four called themselves Marauders, so the Marauder's Map is sometimes called the Marauder's Map.

When he said these words, the puppy in the painting suddenly came alive.

I saw it circling the house a few times like having fun, and then arched the door open and got in.

After waiting for a few seconds, it poked its head out from the dark door, stared at Rossi and blinked, then turned around and ran out with a rope in its mouth.

As it ran closer and closer, a rope ladder was completely pulled out of the house by it.

When it ran to the river, it jumped up and down.This jump actually jumped out of the canvas, pulling the long rope ladder into reality.

How could this be possible?Curious organ!
Seeing this scene, Rossi sighed sincerely.

"This rope won't last long, hurry up and keep up!"

Black, who climbed the rope ladder first, turned around and reminded.

"Ok!"

Rossi answered, and followed him up the rope ladder.

However, just as she stepped on the ladder, the rope ladder floating outside the canvas suddenly shrank back into the painting at a very fast speed.

In just a split second, it brought Black and Rosie into the room together.

After being dizzy, Rossi felt that she had entered an empty and cold place.

The map of the system was pitch black, and everything around her was covered by darkness. Even though she was wearing equipment that increased night vision capabilities, her field of vision still did not exceed 5 meters.

What is this place?
At the same time that the voice of doubt sounded in Rossi's heart, her right hand had already pulled out the wand, and it was silently lit.

The range illuminated by the luminous spell can be slightly stronger than the field of vision provided by the equipment, but it does not exceed ten meters.

"The Ultimate Flash!"

Rosie tried to cast the advanced spell of the Luminous Curse, but it didn't seem to have much effect, instead it dazzled herself blindly.

"What the hell is this place! Where's Blake?"

With a depressed remark, she changed the spell on the wand to [Flashing Fluorescence] again.

At this time, she was on a circular platform suspended in mid-air, surrounded by endless darkness.

In each of the four directions of the platform, there is a floating staircase engraved with different animal portraits leading to the dark depths.

"Blake! Are you there!"

Putting his hands to his lips, Rossi called out a few words, but he never got any response.

Is he here?Or is my voice also blocked by this darkness?

Hmm... green snake, red lion, blue eagle and yellow badger, so these four directions represent the four houses of Hogwarts?
Thinking of this, she walked along the stairs engraved with red lion groups.

After walking for about ten seconds, a circular floating platform that looked similar to before appeared before her eyes again.

On the last step leading to this platform, there is still a red lion engraved.

The red lion, green snake, yellow badger, and blue eagle are exactly the same as before!Is this a maze?If you make a mistake, you will return to the original point?
Thinking to herself, she casually took out the umbrella from the inventory, and drew a cross on the ground that was neither deep nor shallow.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly walked towards the stairs engraved with the pattern of green snakes.

Thirty seconds later, she appeared on the floating circular platform again.

"I made the cross?!! Looks like I was right, this place is indeed a maze!"

Resting his chin lightly with his right hand, Rossi muttered silently, "But which way is the right one?"

After a pause, she turned her gaze to the direction with the engraved yellow badger.

Forget it, anyway, there are only two roads left, and it doesn't take much time to go through them all...
