[HP] Prisoner of Nurmengard

Standing on the highest rooftop in Slytherin, Voldemort looked at the boundless forest and swamp. His soul was almost repaired, and he no longer had to stay in Slytherin Castle.Moreover, Voldemort withdrew his eyes and stared at the ground under his feet. During this period of time, he was always unable to calm down, and he would always think of many things during retreat.

Thinking of Severus, thinking of Red, thinking of the newborn princess Rosalind, even... Voldemort admitted that he would occasionally think of Regulus who was pregnant.After the initial anger passed, he found that he was gradually not completely unacceptable to the uninvited child.All kinds of thoughts kept him unable to calm down, and it was meaningless to stay in Slytherin Castle.

It's time to go back. Voldemort was sure that he had made the right decision, and was about to turn around and leave the rooftop when suddenly he noticed a puff of smoke in the dense forest not far away.That is not the fog that is naturally produced in the forest, but the smoke produced by the fire, and the wet swamp cannot burn by itself, which means that outsiders have come to this quiet swamp forest.

Voldemort squinted his eyes and observed for a while, then walked down the stairs decisively.Slytherin Castle has been hidden in this swamp forest for thousands of years, and he also knows that with the development of technology, it is difficult to avoid Muggle intrusion, but he does not allow this castle that has stood still for thousands of years to be disturbed by anyone .What worries him now is whether these people broke in by accident, or whether the outside world already knows the existence of this castle.

If it's just an accidental intrusion, it's easy to solve whether it's modifying memory or killing people.If the Muggle community already knew of the castle's existence, there would be some trouble.In any case, he had to go and see for himself before he could rest assured, whether to kill or keep them would depend on the attitude of these people.After all, even if they are very important figures in the Muggle world, it is normal for them to die in a deserted swamp.

Using the teleportation circle of Slytherin Castle, Voldemort came directly to the outside of the castle, not far from these people.The trees in the swamp are not too tall. Slytherin Castle can stand for thousands of years without being discovered because it is built on a mountain and hides its own magic circle. At this time, Voldemort dare not get too close to them. He does not want to be discovered for the time being. .

At a distance of about eight meters from the outsider, Voldemort nimbly hid in a leafy tree and cast himself the Ignore Charm.He found that the group of intruders was a small group of about ten people, and because he wasn't sure if he saw all the members, he couldn't determine the exact number.There were men and women in the procession, and there was even an old woman.

This surprised Voldemort, after all this swamp forest was not a safe place.In addition to the many magic circles of Slytherin Castle, there are many dangerous wild animals and plants hiding in it, and this is a dangerous place in the swamp, and this is not an old man who comes to enjoy his old age.

Of course, this old lady did not come to enjoy her old age. She was Mrs. Paley, the chief physical geographer of the Royal Academy of Sciences.She came to this swamp forest this time just to unravel the layers of fog that shrouded it. Since the last century, countless explorers, field survival experts and scientists have gone deep into this swamp forest, and the result is either nothing or nothing. audio.

All kinds of rumors have added a lot of mystery to this swamp forest that was already full of mystery. When she was young, Mrs. Perry wanted to come here for investigation, but she couldn't make it because of various obstacles.Now that she is older, she also knows that she does not have a few years to live, so she wants to fulfill her long-cherished wish at the best moment of her life.

So she recruited two experts and scholars in the fields of zoology and botany, brought her own students who were most comfortable with her, plus two senior experts in wilderness survival, and three of the best students sent by the royal family to protect them Special forces, a group of nine people just came here.This road has not been smooth, but everything that has happened so far is still within her estimation.

All the way from the periphery of the swamp forest to here, the group of people are very embarrassed.Needless to say, Mrs. Perry, although she has been to many places when she was young, but after all, she is old and a woman, so her physical strength is naturally not as good as others.Although Mrs. Perry's female student, Fiona, is young and has been to some places with Mrs. Perry, women are not as physically strong as men, and it is very difficult for her to walk.

Although zoologists and botanists often go to the wild and are in their prime of life, it is indeed the first time they have encountered such a difficult environment like this swamp forest. Field survival experts and special forces have relatively taken care of the older Mrs. Perry and As Fiona, they can only rely on themselves most of the time, so they are naturally in a mess.

But don't think that the field survival experts and special forces who often deal with danger will go easily. Of course, they can be more relaxed, but when they have to take care of Mrs. Perry and Fiona, they also have to take care of the two scientists from time to time. At that time, no one can relax.They have been deep into the swamp and deep forest for four days. Of course, they have found some things, but none of them are what Mrs. Perry wanted.

In fact, Mrs. Perry didn't even know what they were looking for, but she knew that it must be a shocking secret that no one had ever discovered.And since they walked so far, although there are some surprises, they are far from being called shocking secrets.Because of the many dangers in the swamp forest, the nine members of the group were somewhat slightly injured, which also made their scientific research road more difficult.

Even Mrs. Perry and Fiona, who were well protected, had blisters from the long walk and the harsh environment of the swamp, not to mention the scars from mosquito bites on their bodies.The two biologists still had some minor scratches on their bodies. After all, they were in the swamp forest, so they would inevitably be scratched by branches and the like.

Even the experienced and powerful special forces and field survival experts were injured because they had to protect four scientific researchers, and one of the special forces was the most seriously injured. This also cast a shadow over this scientific expedition. There were even voices against going forward and demanding to go back the same way.Especially the little girl Fiona, the dangers and blows in the past few days almost made her cry.

The two wilderness survival experts also seemed very irritable. Although they deal with dangers all the time, it is precisely because they cherish life that they have survived until now and gained such a great reputation.This road has come here, and to be honest, they have also begun to retreat, but it is impossible to divide the troops back now, and if Mrs. Perry insists on continuing, there is nothing they can do.

The three special forces seemed relatively calm, although one of them had just been seriously injured protecting Fiona, and this was the reason for the disagreement in the team, but obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers.Moreover, what they do will not be a meaningless sacrifice. Although they don't know what Mrs. Perry is looking for, they believe that what Mrs. Perry is doing is meaningful.

It was getting dark, and they set up camp on a relatively dry highland to discuss the next step.The two biologists insisted on moving forward. In just a few days' journey, they discovered many rare animals and plants, and even species they didn't know. Who knows what else they can find if they continue to go deeper.The enthusiasm for science makes them ignore the danger or not.

The two wilderness survival experts opposed it. Although the reward for this trip was high enough, the danger was too great.If you want to get money, you have to spend your life. They don't want to lose their lives for work, not to mention there are still beautiful wives and young children at home waiting for them to go back.If an accident happens to them, how will the wife and children survive in the future?

The three special forces remained silent. They were only ordered to protect the safety of a scientific expedition team, and they followed Mrs. Perry's orders.In other words, they only obey Mrs. Perry's orders and will not express their opinions.Both Mrs. Perry and Fiona have not expressed their opinions yet. Fiona actually wants to go back the same way, but she is not sure what Mrs. Perry thinks.

As a student of Mrs. Perry, Fiona knew that she was not qualified to join the team. All her reliance came from Mrs. Perry, which made it impossible for her to insist on singing against Mrs. Perry.But if she wanted to move on, she was really afraid. After all, she was only a girl in her twenties, and this journey really made things difficult for her.

"Ma'am..." Fiona looked at Mrs. Perry, and didn't express her opinion clearly, but it was obvious that she hoped Mrs. Perry would support returning the same way.Mrs. Perry frowned and thought, unable to make an immediate decision.Her own determination to explore the secrets of the swamp forest is naturally very firm, but what about the others?

Two wilderness survival experts have wives and sons, and it is impossible for an old man like her to fight with her life like her.The same goes for the three special forces. They just obeyed the orders of their superiors. Could she ignore their names at all?And Fiona, she's still a teenage girl, she's still having a good time...

However, she has been planning this scientific expedition for a long time, and it may be the only chance in her life to realize her wish, and she has already come here. She is really unwilling to give up like this.Mrs. Perry rubbed the center of her brows, looked at the team members who were watching her seriously, and said, "Get ready to rest first, and let's talk about the rest...tomorrow."

The team members were silent for a while, and then dispersed to prepare dinner.Indeed, no matter whether they want to return to the same road or continue to move forward, all they can do now is rest.In this swamp forest, even daytime actions are full of dangers, and you must be more cautious at night.They had to light the fire and pitch the tent before it was safe to darken.

Voldemort, who was observing them not far away, narrowed his eyes. From the conversations of these people, he probably knew their identities.However, he didn't know enough about their purpose, and Mrs. Perry, who was obviously the leader, had barely spoken, and he couldn't be sure if she knew the secret of Slytherin Castle.He wondered if it was necessary to take some action at night.
