Chapter 185 Ancient House and Traps

"When you find a defensive magic, you need to consider whether it is a decoy placed there on purpose." Dumbledore waved an 'Iron Armor Curse' to help Weiss resist a cloud of black mist, and then the wand quickly Pulling upwards, the black mist suddenly rose into the sky and slowly spread.

"It's too insidious! Two low-level magic traps are actually used as switches to trigger nodes!" Weiss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with fear.

"The Corruption Curse in black magic." Dumbledore waved his wand to attract a breeze, which completely dissipated the black mist: "You don't want to know the consequences of being hit by it."

"But I've seen it." Weiss pointed helplessly at the beam above. Although it had been rotten by moths, it looked even more pitted once the black mist was drawn up.

"Hehehe, how about it, shall I lead the way?" Dumbledore still smiled, as if he didn't take the trap just now to heart.

"Um, I'll try again, after all, I'm Nicolas' apprentice!" Weiss said firmly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

……

"Professor Dumbledore, was Tom a good student in school? Just like Hermione?" Weiss looked straight into Dumbledore's blue eyes with a black line.

"No, he's much better than little Hermione, at least little Hermione probably won't get an 'O' in Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Dumbledore smiled and looked at Wes who was hung upside down.

"Well, I didn't expect him to be so good at herbal medicine. Speaking of which, where did he get such a black and thick blood-sucking vine? Isn't he from an orphanage? Where did he get the Golden Galleon?" Weiss tried hard He lowered his head, looked at the vines that bound his body tightly, and showed a wry smile: "At least 60 years, otherwise he would not be afraid of light."

"Why do I think it's 80 years? I've seen the spikes protruding from the vampiric vines, and the length is at least 80 years." Dumbledore looked up at Wes with a funny face, and then added: " Tom worked at Bokinbok for a while after graduating, and later on... Anyhow, he won't be short of Galleons."

"Professor Dumbledore! I think you should let me down first, I can already feel the spikes of the vampiric vines!" Weiss said nervously as he stretched his bound arms behind his back and pressed against something Said: "It's going to open a hole for me!"

"Hehehe, calm down, calm down, these are not too dangerous things. Like the devil's net, it also has something to fear, and that is high temperature." Although Dumbledore was still smiling, the wand in his hand was Lifting it up quickly, the next moment the orange-red light quickly enveloped Weiss's whole body, and then with a 'whoosh', a ball of flames flew into the air instantly, but it was completely blocked by the thin orange-red barrier. There was no burning sensation at the periphery, and Weiss also saw the moment the flame touched the vines, they quickly abandoned him, and all retracted into the shadow where he was originally hiding. And it fell heavily on the ground, and the pressed wooden floor creaked.

"I can't calm down! I'm almost going to spend the rest of my vacation on my stomach!" Weiss got up quickly, grabbed the wizard robe, and looked back: "Look! The wizard robe has a big hole !"

"Hehehe, it's the bedroom. I think our target is in these two rooms." Dumbledore said with a smile, pointing to the stairs beside him.

"I encountered at least 20 traps along the way! And this blood-sucking vines arranged at the door of the two rooms!" Weiss scanned the corners of the wall left and right with a black line, the shadows were full of torsos of vines, they At this time, it was inconspicuous, lying there quietly and motionless like an ordinary vine: "He is a lunatic!"

"Hehehe, there are more than 20 of them, but you chose the shortest route coming in from the main entrance." Dumbledore pointed to the still dusty floor in the large living room: "There are more defensive magic traps in those places."

"That's why I said he's a lunatic! I wanted to say that in that cave! Crazy! Crazy!" Weiss looked back at a line of floors that had been wiped clean by the hem of the wizard's robe and complained frantically: "Just a dozen steps! What's wrong!!!"

"However, we haven't encountered any large-scale defensive magic, which is a bit too trivial for Tom." Dumbledore shook his head: "Only the 'blood-sucking vine' can make people feel It's a refreshing feeling. First use a room full of magic traps as bait, and finally use a plant without any magic fluctuations..."

"Never mind it! Anyway, they were temporarily forced back by you, let's go in and have a look! I don't think there is anything to hide here in the living room, um, except for the wooden shelf full of dirty bottles." Weiss turned around and glanced around. , the empty room, the dilapidated dining table, the chair with a broken leg, everything made him feel that this was a down and out magic family, and then he looked at the two doors in front of him: "Left? Right?"

"Let's go to the right, and the master bedroom is on the left." Dumbledore pondered for a while and guessed: "Tom's mother's room should be on the right."

With the sound of 'squeak', Weiss pushed the door and entered, and then he found something wrong: "It seems something is wrong, there is no magic wave inside."

"..." Dumbledore looked up at the ceiling revealing the dark starry sky, frowning and thinking. He discovered what Weiss had noticed when the door was just pushed open. Here, there were no traces, and several walls were exposed. There was a big crack, and the night wind blowing from it kept blowing the old man's cheeks. Unfortunately, because the night wind was so weak, it didn't even move a single beard.

"I'll take a look to the left." Weiss glanced casually, then backed out, turned around and opened the door on the left, and his exclamation sounded in an instant: "It's here! At least 10 magic circles interact with each other." Layered! What are they protecting!"

"Huh? Don't go in, let me take a look." Dumbledore was interrupted by Wes' exclamation, and hurriedly stopped the impulsive little lion.

"It seems that there are more than 10..." Weiss frowned and looked: "Is the box on the table in the middle of the room what we are looking for?"

"There are nodes on the door to activate these magic circles and defensive magic to isolate the magic power." Dumbledore looked at the door opened by Weiss and said: "As long as the door is opened, they will automatically start and run."

"This is not a trivial matter... I counted 18..." Weiss squatted on the ground and tried to observe this "magic chain" from another angle: "Well, this angle... 20... ...Sick! Put 20 magic circles in such a small place?"

"23." Dumbledore shook his head lightly and said, "There are another 3 on the table, and I can't see them clearly in the box."

"...Let's leave the door open for a while? Wait for their magic power to be exhausted automatically?" Weiss looked at the pile of magic circles in the room with scalp numbness: "Shall we come back next year?"

"..." Dumbledore didn't reply to Wes's words, and squinted his eyes to look at this room carefully. Compared with the room next door, it looked much better. Not only did the roof and ceiling have no 'skylights', but there were no 'skylights' around the walls. crack.

"Speaking of which, the dust here is as big as in the living room. It makes me want to sneeze." Weiss rubbed his nose and complained, while looking at Dumbledore: "Professor, what should we do? Now we put them Will it be completely dismantled or come back in a year or two?"
