Chapter 48: Since When Did a Good Person Like Me Emit Black Gas?
The streets were deserted.
The surrounding night was like ink, making the shadowy buildings on the roadside under the dim moonlight even more eerie and terrifying.
Theo silently followed the flame, walking all the way out of Hogsmeade Village.
Soon, he left Hogsmeade Village. The light from the wind lamp that had been following his shadow finally stopped on the stone bridge at the entrance of the village.
Theo followed the flame and soon turned into a small path, gradually walking towards the depths of the forest.
As the number of trees on the road increased, the dim moon in the sky gradually disappeared.
Theo looked up. He couldn't see the night sky. He could only see the thick shadows brought by the dense canopy in the dark night, like giant beasts lurking in the dark, choosing people to devour.
At this time, only a little light from the dark blue flame remained in front of Theo.
"Lumos Maxima!"
The white light emitted from the tip of the wand pierced through the darkness in the forest.
With sufficient light, Theo's mood gradually calmed down.
Seeing that the flame seemed to be leading him towards the Forbidden Forest.
Theo waved his wand.
"Protego!"
A transparent shield suddenly appeared, covering Theo's whole body.
Although the Shield Charm was an advanced spell, it was not difficult for Theo, who had the magic power of an adult wizard, to master it.
Not long after moving to Hogsmeade Village, he specifically asked Aberforth for advice and learned this very useful protection magic from him.
After all, he had just suffered from the Shield Charm from the Wizengamot.
Tom also wanted to learn it at that time, but unfortunately his magic power was not strong enough. Even with his extraordinary talent, he could only form a part of the Shield Charm...
After a few more minutes, Theo followed the flame and walked into the Forbidden Forest.
There was no road in the Forbidden Forest at all. Even if there was, it might be near Hogwarts.
After walking in the Forbidden Forest without a road for five or six minutes, the flame finally stopped in front of a big rock-like thing.
Theo raised his wand, and the light from the wand illuminated the big rock in front of the flame.
At this time, Theo saw clearly that this was not a big rock at all. It was clearly a finely carved giant toad stone carving!
Just as Theo was about to take a closer look at what was special about the big toad.
Suddenly, the stone toad opened its mouth wide and swallowed Theo along with his Shield Charm!
Theo only felt a blackness in front of him. However, he found that his Shield Charm did not show any signs of being attacked. That was to say, this toad did not seem to be aggressive!
"Whoosh!"
Theo only felt his body spin, and then his eyes lit up.
He felt his feet step on the ground again!
Theo looked around. He was no longer in the Forbidden Forest just now!
At this time, he seemed to be in an exaggeratedly large stone room.
This stone room looked as big as half a football field, and the distance from the ground to the ceiling was almost ten meters high!
However, such a large stone room was empty and had nothing.
However, unlike the Forbidden Forest just now, this basement clearly did not see any light source, but it was brightly lit, like daylight...
Theo turned around and saw a huge stone toad statue standing behind him, almost exactly the same as the one in the Forbidden Forest.
This stone toad was actually a portal?
It was just that the way of teleportation was a bit strange.
It swallowed himself over there and then spit himself out over here...
He didn't know where he had been teleported to.
"If I were you, I would leave that big toad quickly. Otherwise, it might teleport you back to the Forbidden Forest again."
The voice that had appeared in his dream echoed in Theo's ears again.
Theo looked around and didn't see anyone in the basement.
Obviously, that person was not in the basement.
"Come up..." The voice rang again.
At the same time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the ceiling.
Then a large section of the ceiling slowly tilted down, forming a steep upward slope.
After the slope was formed, it changed again. After a while, a long stone staircase appeared in front of Theo.
Theo looked at the long staircase and couldn't help but rub his sore legs.
"Yeah... I like climbing stairs..."
"If you like it, climb more."
After the voice finished speaking, the originally long stairs actually extended by 50 meters!
Theo: ?
...
Theo closed his mouth tightly this time and walked up the stairs.
After Theo struggled to climb the entire staircase, he found that the upper floor of the huge stone room was actually another huge stone room!
"I'm here. Where are you?" Theo asked while looking around.
As soon as Theo finished speaking, white mists suddenly appeared from nowhere...
The mist quickly filled the entire huge stone room!
Theo looked at the familiar mist, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"Nightmare Magic..."
The name of this magic just appeared in Theo's mind.
The surrounding environment changed instantly!
The originally bare stone room turned into a huge garden with singing birds and fragrant flowers in the blink of an eye!
Theo looked at all this in shock.
There was no doubt that the other party's Nightmare Magic was many times stronger than his own. It had actually reached the point where it could affect others...
Theo didn't feel frustrated because of this, because he had only learned this magic for one day at most.
He believed that he would reach this level one day.
However, Theo also understood at this time that what was described in the final step of Nightmare Magic was not false.
"Come here. Let's have a chat."
Theo looked in the direction of the voice.
There was a gazebo there. In the gazebo, there was a round table and two chairs.
On one of the chairs sat a very strange person.
The reason why he was strange was that he didn't look like a human at all...
Since when did a good person emit black gas all over his body?
He strode over and sat in front of the strange person.
Until he got closer, Theo saw clearly that it was a strange person wrapped in strange black gas!
"We finally meet, Theo. I know you must have a lot of questions. It's okay. You can ask them now."
When the strange person said this, he seemed to be smiling, but Theo couldn't see the expression on his face.
Theo nodded and asked directly without being polite, "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
The strange person sighed, "I'm just a poor person enslaved by power. As for why I'm looking for you... that's because only you can save my life!"
"Me? Save your life?"
A lighter emitting dark blue light floated out of Theo's pocket and landed gently in the strange person's hand.
"This lighter... only you can see the light on it, right?"
