Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

obviously.

Even though he was well-informed, he still found the ancient magic that Ryan took out from time to time very strange.

Especially this time, Ryan chose not ordinary ancient magic.

"That's right—attract evil and gather evil. It can attract some dark magic creatures and alchemical items to attack you."

Lane explained.

That's right.

Inferi are a very common means of defense used by dark wizards to protect their lairs.

The main reason is that the production of Inferi is relatively simple and cheap - it only requires corpses, which are not difficult to find in the chaotic magical world a thousand years ago.

At the same time, the effect is quite good - most of the time it looks like an ordinary corpse, its breath is almost undetectable, and it will attack all creatures that meet the attack requirements, and it is difficult to be completely eliminated.

Even if they only have one hand or one leg left, the Inferi will try to attack the invaders. They are black magic creations that are like dog-skin plasters.

Especially when combined with some curses, the Yin corpse will become extremely dangerous.

Ryan, who had long followed Gryffindor in fighting against dark wizards, naturally had a set of effective methods to deal with the Inferi.

That's what it is now.

First, use "Attract Evil" to attract all the hidden corpses, and then use Lionheart Fiery Armor to get rid of them all.

Simple, fast, and effective.

"amazing."

Dumbledore exclaimed in admiration.

"It's not that great."

Ryan was very modest, but at the same time he couldn't help but sigh, "But... the number of Inferi created by Voldemort is indeed astonishing."

It’s time to say it or not.

The number of Inferi within this Black Lake alone almost exceeds that of almost all the dark wizards Ryan had dealt with in the past.

And Ryan was also very sure that the Inferi in this lake were definitely not all the Inferi created by Voldemort.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore's expression became serious.

"More than ten years ago, when Tom was in power, many people in Muggle villages disappeared..."

When he said this, the meaning was naturally very obvious.

"That's one of Tom's many crimes."

Hearing this, Ryan nodded seriously.

Using a large number of Muggles to create the Inferi - this obviously fits in with his understanding of Voldemort.

But obviously.

As Ryan cleared out these Inferi, the trap set by Voldemort was easily solved.

They didn't need to take that small boat at all, but could have simply crossed the black lake and headed straight to the island in the center...

"Meow!"

But just as Ryan was thinking this, he heard Friday meow.

Then, the white cat seemed to notice something and kept

He suddenly noticed something incredible.

That is...

"There is still one?"

At this moment, he suddenly saw that there was clearly another figure under the water of the black lake.

"No... Inferi cannot avoid the effects of attracting evil. Mr. Gryffindor and I have tried this more than once in the past."

Ryan muttered in his heart.

"That's not an Inferi—it's a normal corpse!"

This discovery undoubtedly piqued Ryan's interest.

He believed that it was impossible for Voldemort to suddenly show mercy when he was creating the corpses and decide to spare one of the corpses and not desecrate him anymore.

So, the only explanation is...

That corpse died here after a group of Yin corpses had formed here.

In other words.

He is just like Ryan and Dumbledore at this moment - he is very likely an intruder who broke into the 'secret place' where Voldemort hid the Horcruxes!

Chapter 194 A Redemption

The process of recovering the body was not complicated.

But Ryan noticed that when the body was salvaged, Dumbledore's expression, which was originally full of curiosity, changed instantly.

It was solemnity, doubt, contemplation, and finally speculation and pity.

This made Ryan unable to help but look at the corpse.

The lake water swelled his body, but still left his general appearance - Ryan thought it might be due to magic.

Ryan met the other's empty, gray eyes.

His hair was black and curly, and his appearance had become a little 'fat' because of the lake water, but even so, one could still vaguely see his handsomeness in life - a handsomeness with a hint of gloom.

"You know him?"

Ryan asked softly - he also felt that the appearance of the corpse was subtly familiar.

"I'm afraid so..."

Dumbledore whispered, "Regulus Arcturus Black—his former Slytherin pupil."

"Blake!?"

Ryan naturally noticed this surname very keenly.

Then, he realized where his subtle sense of familiarity came from - the face of this corpse was clearly similar to Sirius Black, whom he had seen in Azkaban before!

"Yes... He is Sirius's biological brother."

Dumbledore said softly.

"So he's a Death Eater?"

Then Ryan understood what Dumbledore meant.

Yes.

As far as he knew, the Black family was almost the most extreme of all pure-blood families in terms of pure-blood concepts.

Even their family motto is "eternal purity", a symbol of purism.

This family has few members, but there are many relatives.

But they are all crazy supporters of blood purity.

The most famous of them is Bella Lestrange, whom Ryan had also met before. According to seniority, she is actually Sirius's biological cousin.

Sirius himself is famous for being the only outlier in the Black family.

So after hearing that the corpse in front of him was Sirius's brother, Ryan naturally thought that the other party must be a Death Eater.

"From what I understand, he is indeed a Death Eater."

And Dumbledore didn't deny it.

But then, a natural question arises...

"Why would a Death Eater die here alone?"

Ryan frowned. "Moreover, Voldemort actually let his subordinates know the location of his Horcruxes... He trusts him very much."

Based on Ryan's understanding of Voldemort, he did not think that Voldemort would easily tell anyone the location of his Horcruxes.

Unless the other party is a 'fanatic believer' like Bella Lestrange.

"This is where the problem lies."

After hearing this, Dumbledore said softly.

"As far as I know, although Regulus is a Death Eater, he is definitely not one of Tom's most trusted minions. In fact, we didn't see him very often during the past wars."

"I think he should be considered a fringe figure among the Death Eaters, which is normal... After all, he was too young at the time."

He said this and then looked at the corpse.

Ryan had no doubt about this - judging from the other party's current appearance, he was probably not very old when he died.

But therein lies the problem.

"A fringe figure of the Death Eaters died alone in the place where Voldemort kept his Horcruxes..."

Ryan murmured softly.

This situation is obviously not reasonable.

"Do you have any ideas?"

So Ryan looked at Dumbledore - the old wizard who knew Regulus better than him might obviously have more guesses.

"Maybe... but I'm not sure. Maybe it's a tragedy, or maybe it's a redemption."

Dumbledore said softly.

"But I must remind you, Ryan—the house-elf you were talking about... his body was not in the lake."

When he said this, Ryan was also stunned.

Then he reacted.

"It really is!"
