A wooden sign sticking out of the bushes on the left side of the path.
Felwood stepped forward, looked at the sign for a while, and then walked quickly down the path.
The three followed.
As she passed the wooden signpost, Hermione looked up at its two indicator arrows. The one pointing to their way said: Great Hangleton, 5 miles. Pointing in the direction Ogden is going, it says: Little Hangleton, 1 mile.
In the direction of Little Hangleton, they walked for a while, seeing nothing else around, only the tall bushes and hedges on both sides, and the vast blue summer sky above their heads.
Then, the path turned to the left and descended steeply along the hillside, so they suddenly and unexpectedly found a valley, unobtrusively presented in front of them.
In the valley, they saw a village, which was undoubtedly Little Hangerton, situated between two steep hillsides, and the church and cemetery were clearly visible. On the hillside across the valley, there is a large house surrounded by large green grasslands.
Because the downhill road was too steep, Felwood trot involuntarily. Ye Ting took a bigger step, Hermione and Furong also quickened their steps to follow behind.
The path turned to the right, and when they turned the corner, the hem of Felwood's dress coat flashed, and he was missing in a gap in the fence.
Item 0300
Ye Ting led the girls to follow him to a narrow dirt road, and the bushes and hedges on both sides were taller and denser than the ones they had just passed by.
The dirt road was winding, potholes, and full of rubbish. It descended steeply like the trail just now, and seemed to lead to a small patch of dark woods below.
Sure enough, the dirt road connected to the low wood without going far, Felwood stopped, and the three of them stopped behind him.
Although the sky is clear and cloudless, the old trees above them cast a chilly dark and thick shadow. It took a few seconds before their eyes saw a house half-hidden in a thicket of trees.
Those big trees grew beside the house, and the trees blocked all the light and blocked the valley below.
The house is obviously seldom occupied: the walls are covered with moss, many tiles on the roof have fallen off, and the rafters inside are exposed here or there. There are dense nettles growing around the house, and the tall nettles line up all the way to the windows. Those windows are very small and covered with thick old dirt.
"This is Gunter's old house." Felwood said to the three of them back, "Do you need me to go in with you?"
"No, it's all right here," Ye Ting said, "your mission is over, you can go back."
"Then, good luck to you." Felwood heard the words, as if relieved, he took out his wand, as if he wanted to Apparate immediately.
It seems that Ye Ting's lingering prestige for these Aurors is not small.
However, Ye Ting used his magic wand to point to Felwood first.
"Forget it all."
A white light flashed at the tip of Ye Ting's "Weaver". The next moment Felwood's eyes became dull, he looked at the three of them mechanically, and then continued to use Apparition.
Just hearing a "crack", the amnesiac Auror disappeared before their eyes.
"In order to prevent the Dark Lord from knowing that we have been here, I can only do this." Ye Ting shrugged his shoulders when he saw the puzzled eyes of the two girls, and explained, "Penello will also be investigating. Treat it like this."
Then, the three of them looked at the rotten house in front of them.
Hermione and Fleur took out their wands one after another. They knew that if there were any Horcruxes here, Voldemort would definitely not forget to set a trap here.
Furong first raised the cane, aimed at the stained door, and waved it gently.
"Alaho Cave opens."
The door was suddenly opened, and at the same time a red light struck... However, Hermione, who had been prepared for a long time, recited the iron armor curse calmly, blocking all the threats of the red light to them.
The red light seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, and a violent explosion occurred. After the explosion, everything around, especially the bushes and grasses, turned off-white.
"It's a terrible curse." Hermione looked down, then concluded, "These plants are dead."
"After all, it's the Dark Lord." Furong looked at the scene like a dead place, and fought a cold war with fear. "We have to be more careful."
The three slowly walked into the house.
The room was in chaos, and all the furniture and furnishings were in fragments.
Such a bad and messy hut, except for the homeless, I am afraid that it will not arouse anyone's desire to search.
Suddenly, everywhere in the house, as if they were startled by their footsteps, there were noises everywhere.
"It's a human voice," Hermione said after listening for a while. "Is there people in this house?"
However, it was not people who appeared in front of them—or rather people in the conventional sense—these "people" included men, women, and children. They looked very pale and wore ragged clothes. They were all open. With sunken, non-visual eyes, his movements are very stiff, looking like a corpse.
"This is a corpse!" Hermione came to a conclusion after examining it for a while.
"What's that?" Furong took a few steps back disgustingly by these corpse-like guys, "I thought they were ghosts!"
"The corpse is a corpse invoked by the black wizard's spell. It has no life, but is used like a puppet to execute the wizard's orders." Hermione explained, "I am in a book of black magic "Dark Force: Self-Defense Guide" "I’ve seen it on "They are afraid of fire and light, and like darkness and humidity."
"Really? That means we have to deal with them with a blazing fire curse." Furong raised her wand and looked at these guys emerging from all over the house, a little eager to try, "I don't want them to touch my new clothes. Woolen cloth."
"No! The Fire Curse will burn the whole house," Hermione stopped. "We have to use some safer methods."
As a result, they had no choice but to use full-body binding curses, petrification curses, splitting curses, etc. on these corpses.
These hollow corpses stared at them with misty eyes, withered hands stretched out to the three living people, and threw on them one after another, but they were hit by spells one by one, some could not move, fell to the ground, some directly Become fragments.
Although there are a large number of corpses, this house is too narrow, and their number advantages cannot be used well.
The two girls stood at the door, each time they only had to deal with up to three corpses, they calmly and continuously fired spells to deal with these scary guards, which are actually not powerful.
Soon, a stiff corpse and fragments lay on the ground.
"It's disgusting," Furong followed Ye Ting, raising her legs in disgust, and stepping over the debris all over the floor. "Why do you think the Dark Lord should arrange these guys here? They are too weak, and even a little capable wizard can do it. Deal with them."
"Probably to consume the invader's magic power." Hermione analyzed, "You can't use the fire curse in the wooden house, and you can't use the mass destruction curse. Then the invaders have to deal with these corpses one by one. The corpse, for ordinary wizards, consumes a lot of magic power, so how can they have spare energy to deal with the next level?"
However, this trick had no effect on Ye Ting and Hermione who had excess magic power.
However, after hearing Hermione's analysis, Furong realized that she had indeed consumed too much magic power.
The next moment, Ye Ting threw a small glass bottle at her, which was filled with blue potion.
Furong recognized it immediately. This was exactly what Ye Ting gave out as one of the trophies for defeating the monsters in the Triwizard Finals, which could replenish magic power.
At that time, when Furong first saw this potion, she felt very impressive. Since ancient times, no potionist in the wizarding world has invented a potion that supplements magic power. Everyone can only rely on their own rest to restore magic power.
She was also wondering why Ye Ting had to release so many weird and unreasonable trophies in the game.
However, she later realized that Ye Ting had just used them as experimental products to try out his new invention.
However, now this blue potion should be the finished product after the experiment.
She opened the cork without thinking and drank it in one fell swoop.
