Chapter 118 All Lives!
Traveling across half of the UK in an instant is not comfortable at all. Like Floo powder and apparition, the way of traveling with things like portkeys is still quite difficult to describe.
Four people gathered around an ordinary iron ring, put their fingers on it, and when the door key was activated, the fingers were tightly stuck to it, and then a huge force hooked your navel and tried to Pull out your intestines, a sense of suspension appears, and then you can go through the space channel to reach the coordinate position set by the door key.
The dense shrubs and woods replaced the association room where they were at the previous moment. When they landed, the four of them bent their knees slightly, but the uneven ground made people stagger, but fortunately they didn't fall down.
"Is this the place where the ruins were found?"
After looking around for a while, Ron said with admiration.
Looking around, here is a deep mountain and old forest without any human footprints. The singing of insects and birds around is very kind, which reminds Ron of the happy time in the Forbidden Forest.
"Yet...not."
Mr. Zhang shrugged, "If it's really here, how lucky is it to come across it? Although many relics are found in this way, there are still some relics that many people know are relics. Today we are two There is a combination of coincidence and necessity.”
"Just like the pyramids. The goblins at Gringotts bought the right to decipher the pyramid for 300 years at a huge price. Your brother Bill is working as a spellbreaker at Gringotts, right. That's a hard job."
"300 years of cracking rights? How is that different from selling the pyramids?" Ron asked a bit puzzled, 300 years is enough to demolish the pyramids dozens of times, right?
"Of course it's different. The Egyptian Ministry of Magic didn't allow goblins to crack it violently. They can only use the most gentle way to peel off the seal in the pyramid room by dismantling and decrypting. The elders of my family also accepted the goblin. Invitation, but after only half a year, the goblin sent him back to China."
"The price is too expensive. I can still remember the goblin's pain. The consulting fee of 17 Galleons for half a year seems to be skinning them."
"Okay, let's not talk about it, we still have to go a long way. The use of broomsticks is forbidden here, and they will be knocked down by defensive magic. Our destination is the mountain opposite, but there is still a long way to go. It's normal. Your magic will also be disturbed here, and we have not yet obtained permission."
"Shot down?"
Ron followed Mr. Zhang's footsteps and asked curiously.
"Could it be that the defenses here are tighter than Hogwarts? This is the first time I've heard of such regulations."
"After all, the king's majesty cannot be violated. Our destination is Hector Castle ahead. It still has a name."
Mr. Zhang paused, then looked at Ron.
"The final resting place of the Eternal King, the last home of the Knights of the Round Table."
"Although there is no clear evidence to prove whether King Arthur really passed away and was buried here at that time, there is no doubt that this is the last residence of the Knights of the Round Table."
"But this time the ruins are not in that castle, but they are not far away." Mr. Zhang took another step, "They are the owners of this place in any sense, so before going to the ruins, we must go to the castle. That trip."
"Knights of the Round Table?!"
"I can really meet you now?!"
The news came as a shock to Ron.
"Of course, that's why your father readily agreed with you to go, but the Knights of the Round Table."
Mr. Zhang shook his head.
"The original Knights of the Round Table were almost wiped out. Because of Mordred's rebellion, there was only Bedivere left among the Knights of the Round Table. He was one of the Knights of the Round Table who followed King Arthur at first, but became the knight who eventually accompanied the king. "
"Today's Knights of the Round Table. It's hard for me to comment on it, but it is already an extremely rare thing to be able to pass it on to this day."
"Let's go, let's get there before noon, that's the agreed time, this mountain road is not easy to walk, the feeling of not being able to use magic is really unpleasant!"
The overgrown thorns and shrubs became the biggest difficulty for them to cross the mountains. These tough things must be cut with sharp knives. Although the Manyan Giant Sword is a sword, its real name should be the Manyan Giant Shield.
The giant sword on the door panel is useless to these things. Ron and Fast took turns walking in the front with the machete, and opened a path forward in a little embarrassment.
Although this castle that almost no one remembers has a long history and is about to be buried, there are still strong magical defenses within its radius of several miles, whether it is apparation or the teleportation of other magical creatures such as goblins. They can't get close to the castle directly. Although the door key is fine, it is no different from kicking in the door, and you will definitely be beaten.
In some respects, its protection is even higher than that of Hogwarts, especially the anti-aircraft magic ballista that is still in effect today. All will suffer a fatal blow.
However, the castle located in the deep mountains and old forests, not to mention visitors, has been rarely seen for decades. In the past few hundred years, there have been no rumors of missing wizards or falling from here, or no rumors.
It took almost four hours, and when it was close to noon, the four of them barely reached the mountainside opposite the drop point.
Their footsteps are already very fast.
The black and steep castle is covered with vines, green leaves and moss that hide this ancient castle very well in the deep mountains. If it is not for the guidance of Mr. Zhang, it is difficult for ordinary people to find here .
The castle didn't release Muggle banishment spells, wizard banishment spells, and other masquerading magic, not even magic to hide his own existence. Unlike Hogwarts, he didn't need to hide his own existence.
At least once, it wasn't needed here.
Although the outer walls of the castle are covered with vines, the castle is not dilapidated. Although there are some unavoidable traces of wind and frost, it is well maintained.
Just after they arrived on the flat lawn in front of the castle, the small door on the side of the castle slid open silently, and a spirited (jué) old man (shuò) came out from behind the door.
He was wearing a strange but very light close-fitting vest. He looked neither like a wizard nor a Muggle. His pale hair was shaved into a neat short hair. This makes him look relatively young and strong.
"welcome."
The old man spoke flatly.
"I'm Bailey Ryder, an old man in charge of cleaning. This place does not provide accommodation or tour services. It is a private residence."
As soon as the old man stretched out his hand, he made a gesture of 'please'. The welcome he said at the beginning was like a slip of the tongue, and there was no sense of welcome at all.
“We met in the last month”
Mr. Zhang showed an indescribable expression, "We are here for the sake of the ruins."
"Oh~"
The old man suddenly realized and interrupted Mr. Zhang with a sigh.
"I forgot."
"Then please take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he planned to turn around and walk into the small door.
"But a pass"
The old man popped out a few coin-like things without looking back.
"Don't fly around, the switch of the magic ballista is broken, it can't be turned off, and I think there are some problems with other functions, you should pay attention to it."
"Crack~"
The old man closed the door and left the four bewildered guys outside the castle.
"."
"Is this the Knights of the Round Table?"
"probably?"
"He said he was a sweeper."
"What if he forgot?"
"Then it's the Knights of the Round Table responsible for sweeping the floor."
"."
"Forget it." Mr. Zhang handed out the coins in his hand to them, "With this temporary permission, we can apparate here and release magic without interference, so don't lose it."
"Let's go now."
Mr. Zhang held Ron's wrist, and then led him to disappear on the lawn outside the castle in an instant.
This dark and steep castle is still so quiet and silent, as if isolated from the world like in the past, and does not care about it.
Only the sound of fine metal rubbing resounded from the depths of the castle, as usual, uninterrupted.
Now the castle is no longer visible at Ron's location, there are only some unrecognizable stones, they are wrapped in moss, covered by plants, if not for the exposed corners, there is the same darkness as the castle I saw before cold and hard.
So it's hard to say whether this place is a ruin or not.
"This is the ruins?"
Ron touched the black stones that had been smoothed by the wind and asked, somewhat incomprehensibly.
"Here are the ruins of the castle, but the ruins we want to explore are below, deeper underground."
"I should have said that, right? This is a relic related to the legendary alchemist family and the Elric family. They existed in the Silver Age. Maybe Merlin was not born at that time, let alone this castle."
"The castle just happened to be built on top of the ruins, but unfortunately, almost a year ago, the castle ruins were patronized by a team of burrowing gophers. Most castles have a large underground Space, although the building above has collapsed, there might be something left behind on the lower floor.”
"However, although they dug a tunnel using the Muggle method, they were still detected. When the people from the Ministry of Magic arrived, did they hear that the rats were miserable?"
Mr. Zhang looked at Diego.
"Except for one guy who was so frightened that he was about to have a nervous breakdown, the rest of the people were all chopped up in half, dragged their intestines and crawled out for several meters, and died horribly, but the Ministry of Magic didn't dare to ask, and finally threw that guy into Az After Kaban, it will be nothing."
Digo led them around the ruins, and on the other side of the ruins where the vegetation was more dense, a deep hole appeared in front of everyone.
"The photo I sent you was taken from below. The group of mice dug a little deeper, and then found some unexpected surprises."
"But if they didn't dig something they shouldn't dig, they wouldn't be exposed to monitoring magic."
"The ruins on the lower level are relatively well preserved. After being accidentally touched by the group of rats, the ruins emitted magical fluctuations, but for us, this is good news."
"What do you say? Treasure?"
"Of course, but it's more about knowledge. Below are the alchemy relics. Generally, such relics will not leave anything valuable. Otherwise, the Ministry of Magic would not have given us this opportunity. The shelf life of the alchemy array Although it is long, the shelf life of alchemy items can be as long as one or two centuries, after all, they are not maintained by anyone, and they are probably broken into slag now."
"But if you are lucky enough to find a well-preserved one, or one that can be repaired."
A rare smile appeared on Diego's face.
"It's all priceless."
"We may have a chance to meet, after all, it is a relic related to the legendary alchemist."
"Stop dreaming." Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes, "The Elric family is called a legend because they completed the taboo life-making process, and the Ministry of Magic is not stupid. If this is related to Merlin or other legendary alchemists Ruins, so how could it be our turn?"
"Their family should be the poorest family of legendary alchemists. Just when they reached the pinnacle of life, their family was wiped out."
"Even the title is granted posthumously, and the taboo alchemy was completed after exhausting the family wealth. Although I have gained a supreme reputation, I don't have any vulgar income related to money."
"Leave me some room for fantasy." Digo spread his hands and shrugged. Who doesn't have a dream of getting rich overnight?
"Garons are not vulgar at all, how cute are they golden?"
"That's right, I am the same." Fast nodded with his waist pierced, agreeing with Digo's statement very much.
"You'd better get married early, bastard!" Mr. Zhang glanced at Fast, "Arthur has seven children, you can't even hold back your fart, if you need money, I'll lend you to St. Mungo"
"I just want to give every ragged girl a warm home! You don't know what a fart." Angrily, Fast glared at Mr. Zhang, and then stabbed him in the heart with a knife: "Your daughter When will you be married?"
"."
"You old bastard with no asshole, Qiu is only 13 years old!"
"But it's a matter of time."
Leaving this sentence behind, Fast nimbly stepped aside and took out the space bag to take out the guy.
"Come here kid!"
He waved to Ron, and then tied a belt with three pockets around Ron's waist.
"No one is better at saving my life in the ruins than me. Things like interspatial bags may be disturbed, so life-saving things need to be carried in pockets."
"On the left are antidotes and healing potions. In the middle is a portable wand with a short handle. Although the spellcasting effect is mediocre, it is sufficient for emergencies. On the right is the port key, which is located at the Explorers' Association in London."
Then he took out another badge and pinned it to Ron's chest.
"Automatically triggered protective items, I made them myself, powerful armor protection, powerful illusion, etc., as long as this thing is triggered, don't hesitate to leave immediately with the door key, the door key is the most stable Teleportation, with the positioning of space coordinates, it can be used normally in almost any situation."
"Although it is basically difficult to encounter such a situation, safety first, I have to return you to Arthur intact."
"The only thing you need to pay attention to in the alchemy ruins is the alchemy puppet. Byron and Digo are in charge of the alchemy array, so there is no chance of stepping on the trap, but this puppet is very difficult to find when it is not activated. This is the only thing you need. Pay attention."
"Comparatively speaking, the alchemy ruins are not very dangerous, at least much easier than the tens of thousands of cursed black magic trap poisons in the pyramid."
"Those pharaohs in Egypt are really not human, they are too beasts."
Fast said with a serious face, but soon, his head was patted by Mr. Zhang.
"Don't scare the children, except for the last one, you can believe everything else. This kind of alchemy relic can't be compared with the mausoleum. It was built with the power of an empire, unless the alchemist is rich and invincible. A magical empire at its peak, Merlin, I hope we don't accidentally dig up his old man's coffin."
"You are disrespectful, Byron!" Digo said with a smile. To be honest, he really hoped to dig up Merlin's coffin.
"I'm not British, what does Merlin have to do with me?"
Mr. Zhang shrugged indifferently, Huaxia has its own legend in Huaxia, how can there be any need to lament Meilin?
"Then is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"
Ron looked down at the things Fast had prepared for himself. Although they were useless except for the port key, Ron accepted his kindness.
"No, we can start now. We are wizards. If there are any other difficulties, we have magic wands in our hands."
"Right, then please accept this."
Ron took out a small stack of stickers and a few small bottles from the pendant space container.
"Professor Dumbledore has a phoenix. Fox is my good friend. I asked Fox for some tears when I left Hogwarts. This sticker was given to me by Mr. Nicolas. It can open a radius of two Mi's alchemy shield is effective for 15 minutes, and it can probably withstand my [-] full-strength slashes."
Ron pulled out his wand and inserted the transformed smoke-filled giant shield on the ground casually. The eyes of the three of them twitched at the sight of this door-like weapon.
"Tears of the Phoenix?"
Mr. Zhang who took the small bottle opened his mouth blankly.
"Can it withstand twenty hits of this thing's shield?"
Fast touched Ron's big sword and murmured in horror.
"Who brought who here to play?"
Diego gave up thinking and began to doubt life.
"Yo, it seems that I can't be stingy, sir."

【Look what's inside (activated)】

"Oh, it's all alive!"
Ron grinned, pulled out the large smoke shield and carried it on his shoulders, fully prepared.
Pushing this big cat's sci-fi, the boss of Lv5, I myself fell into the pit from his arc.
