437 1 A series of doubts and boxes
The strangeness in the Forbidden Forest was bad enough, but Karan never expected to meet Regulus here again.
"Why are you here?!"
Karan immediately grabbed the little lion by the neck and lifted it up.
Remus, who was in the back seat, also walked over quickly. He asked the little lion worriedly, "Since you are here...doesn't it mean that James and Sirius are also nearby?"
In the last adventure in the Forbidden Forest, it was this combination - Regulus, James, and Sirius, these three wizards who could cast Animagus came together.
Under the gaze of the two men, the little lion slowly transformed back into Regulus. He obviously did not expect the appearance of these people, and said in a slightly panicked tone: "James and Sirius didn't ask me to come here—— It's Snape, he asked me to come here to help!"
what? !
"Why Snape?" Karan asked with a frown.
"Because... because..." Regulus looked out of breath and seemed to have been running for a long time: "It's because of Lily!"
What does this have to do with Lily?
Karan, Remus, and Gaspard stared at Regulus in confusion, but Regulus had no time to waste anymore. He said anxiously: "Come with me quickly. Go get Lily and Snape back!"
As soon as he heard this, Karan didn't even think about it. He immediately turned to look at Gespad with a look of help in his eyes.
Gaspard immediately understood the meaning in Callan's eyes. He was still curled up in the car basket. He turned around and fiddled with the bell a few times with his fingers at the special frequency that opened the Hufflepuff common room. The car basket under him Instantly doubled in size.
"Sit over here and get in the car!"
Gaspard stared at Regulus and said, "Tell us where Lily and Snape are!"
After Regulus sat down in the enlarged basket, Karan immediately pedaled the magic bicycle hard, and the four people flew out like sharp arrows.
Regulus guided Karan in the direction, and he finally had the opportunity to continue explaining: "After the experience in the Black Sun World, Snape repeatedly stopped Lily from going out with Ariana again to avoid encountering the same danger. . But Lily couldn't listen to Snape's words at all, thinking that Snape simply hated Ariana - these are what Snape said to me when he complained, and he even had a quarrel with Lily because of this - "
"Until tonight, Snape noticed that Lily had received a strange letter. He was sure that it was Ariana's letter. So Snape found me and wanted me to help him lead the way in the Forbidden Forest so that He knows exactly where the altar is so that Lily and Ariana don’t break in again.”
"But as soon as we arrived at the Forbidden Forest, we found that the Forbidden Forest had completely changed. You all saw it with your own eyes. This is still the Forbidden Forest! If I hadn't been attacked, I would have thought that I had inexplicably entered another Black Sun. world."
Karan understands these words deeply. What he fears most is that a large group of taboos suddenly fall from the sky and collapse the Hogwarts Castle.
As for the conflict between Snape and Lily, Karan really didn't know about it.Whenever he has time recently, he spends time in the library, trying to find clues that will lead to the existence of the Black Sun World.Unfortunately, among the books that can be borrowed, even the Forbidden Ones are barely mentioned, let alone the majestic magical miracles in the Black Sun World.
However, listening to what Regulus said, Karan still felt a little weird in his heart - in the original timeline, Lily wanted Snape to stay away from those guys who liked to study dark magic.But now it suddenly changed, and Snape didn't want Lily to have any contact with Ariana again.
However, after the quarrel, Snape still did not cut off contact with Zhen. Instead, he secretly found Regulus for help - they were both from the same college, which was indeed a good method.
Among the few people, Remus was the only one who felt a little strange. He asked, "According to what you said, why didn't Snape ask Callan for help? Isn't the relationship between the two of them better?"
Gaspard explained calmly: "Of course it's because of today's special day - the night of the full moon. Snape knew that Karan wanted to help you cast the humanoid restoration spell, so he didn't go to him."
Remus nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it—huh?!"
He suddenly reacted and was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back: "Snape...he knows that I am a werewolf?!"
Gaspard added calmly: "Actually, it's not just Snape who knows about this. I, Steve, and Lily have also known about it for a long time."
"Huh?!" Remus's mind suddenly went blank.
"Don't worry." Karan comforted him while moving his legs back and forth: "They will keep it secret for you, otherwise your identity would have been exposed long ago."
Then he continued to ask Regulus: "Then what? What happened to you after entering the Forbidden Forest?"
Regulus quietly glanced at Remus's reaction, and then said: "After realizing that there was a change in the Forbidden Forest, Snape became even more worried about Lily. He asked me to help him find the altar as soon as possible— —Unexpectedly, we met Lily halfway. Besides, we also found another person. I didn’t know that person, but Snape knew his name——"
"Bork—Snape said he was one of the owners of Borgin-Bork's shop—Bork!"
The expression on Karan's face was suddenly stunned: "How is this possible?! How could Bock suddenly appear in the Forbidden Forest?!"
"I don't know why." Regulus shook his head and said, "The situation was very critical at that time. Burke wanted to catch Lily, and Snape immediately rushed to help - but he didn't let me go with him before he left. , but let me hurry up and return to the castle to find the professors for help."
"But here's the problem!"
Regulus said doubtfully with a hint of fear: "I found that I couldn't leave the Forbidden Forest. I saw the scene outside the Forbidden Forest, but I couldn't get out no matter what. Instead, I seemed to be in the same place. It's like spinning in circles - I tried this many times until I met a few of you."
At this time, Gaspar asked suddenly: "What about Ariana? Shouldn't Lily be with Ariana? But why didn't you find Ariana?"
Regulus shook his head again: "I don't know that either. When Snape and I discovered Lily, Ariana was not with her."
"No...that's not right." Remus suddenly came to his senses in the back seat, and he asked Karan: "Is Ariana the girl with blond hair? But when we were in the Room of Requirement , didn’t you say that the earthquake was because Ariana was going to appear?”
"If Ariana appeared in the Forbidden Forest ahead of time, who would be the person who caused the earthquake?"
However, there were so many doubts that Karan couldn't figure out where the problem was, nor could he answer Remus' questions.
He could only follow the direction provided by Regulus and continue to ride the magic bicycle vigorously towards the location where Bock appeared.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful and we didn't encounter any waves or branches hanging down.
But they also discovered that the deeper they went into the Forbidden Forest, the greater the changes occurred in the entire forest.
"Is there something wrong with the altar?"
Gespard put forward his own speculation: "If it continues, will the world in the altar have a deeper impact on reality?"
Karan thought of the large group of terrifying taboos.
"Better not," he murmured.
After a short while, Regulus suddenly pointed to a messy forest and said, "That's it! That's where Bock appeared before!"
Karan immediately accelerated his riding speed, causing the magic bicycle to jump into the air. Several people looked towards the ground, but they did not find Bock. Instead, they only saw Snape who fell to the ground. , and the centaur next to him - Firenze.
After letting the magic bicycle land slowly, Regulus asked anxiously: "What happened to Snape? And where is Lily?"
Firenze looked at the students who suddenly appeared, with melancholy in his sapphire eyes: "When I found this cub, he was already like this, as if he had been hurt by others. ...The Forbidden Forest is destined to not be peaceful tonight. You should have seen that the forest has been affected, and the seal of the Third Eye has reached the most critical moment, but the danger is coming quietly..."
Regulus quickly jumped off the bicycle and carefully checked Snape's condition. After a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief: "At most, he was hit by a coma spell, and he didn't really suffer any damage - eh! Where are you going?!”
Karan had already turned the direction of the front of the magic bicycle: "You stay here and take good care of Snape - Burke must have captured Lily, let's go find him now!"
After saying that, before Regulus could respond, the magic bicycle flew out again.
On the way, Gespard continued to guess: "The seal of the third eye, and the danger coming quietly - so, is there really something wrong with the altar?"
"That's it!" Karan said solemnly. He felt that his legs were gradually getting sore, but he never slowed down: "Maybe even this change was caused by Bock. Lily became another He has captured his hostage, Remus, and it is estimated that he will not be able to spend the rest of the time safely."
"I have no problem." Remus firmly grasped the armrest behind him and said with a pale but determined face: "Of course we have to rescue Lily - but do you know why he wanted to take Lily away?"
Karan frowned and thought for a while: "Maybe... it has something to do with Abraxas. I have always suspected that there is a connection between Bock and Abraxas, but there is always no direct evidence - maybe it is Abraxas." Laxus asked him to do it...and Lily happens to be a Muggle-born!"
After thinking about this clearly, the three of them were speechless for a moment - Abraxas is a pure-blood supremacist. Why would such a person insist on capturing a Muggle-born person? ? !
Hatred, discrimination - Abraxas had too many reasons to harm Lily.
Silence filled the three of them, and even the increasingly strange woods could not divert their attention. The magic bicycle quickly shuttled between the tree canopies, coupled with the increasingly dark sky - everything was simply terrible.
"Pause!"
Gaspard's glasses suddenly flashed with light. He pointed to a bush at his feet and said, "Look - what is that?"
Karan narrowed his eyes slightly. There seemed to be something huge lying sideways in the shadow of the woods. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, his eyes suddenly widened——
"It's...Zao Wu?!"
The magic bicycle slowly stopped in the bushes. Karan looked at the fallen Zuowu in front of him with surprise. He stepped forward to check carefully, put his palm on Zuowu's huge body, and silently felt the other person. The ups and downs coming from the body.
"Still breathing, not dead, just unconscious."
Karan murmured in confusion: "But why did Zowu appear here? Is Mr. Newt also there? Or did Zowu become a means for Burke to secretly enter Hogwarts?"
The three of them had no way to deal with Zuowu who also fell to the ground.Even if Zuowu was awake at this time, without Steve around, they wouldn't be able to understand what clues Zuowu would give.
There isn't much time left for them.In the end, after careful consideration by Gespad, Karan casually fed Zuowu a bottle of sobriety potion, and then the three of them set off again and continued to rush to the altar.
They are not experts on magical animals, and they cannot be of much use even if they stay here.
This time, it didn't take long for the three of them to finally arrive near the altar.
Karan did not show up rashly. He covered the three of them with the invisibility cloak again, quietly hid in the trees far away from the altar, and silently observed the situation near the altar.
The changes around the altar were the most intense, and the stacked black stones even became distorted in sight.There was no smoke caused by the burning of the herbs, and there was no sound of horse hooves, but large areas of water poured out all the time.
The change looked strange, but the three people's eyes were immediately fixed on another figure near the altar——
It's Bock!
He poked his head around and looked around, as if he was wary of something, and Lily was being grabbed by the collar behind his neck and held in his right hand.
Gaspard looked back at Karan and asked Karan's opinion with his eyes.
Remus couldn't wait to rush out and rescue Lily, but Karan suddenly held him down tightly with his palm——
"do not......"
Karan made a sound that almost no one could hear.
His pupils dilated little by little, and his eyes were fixed on the thing in Bock's other hand——
It was an old box, the iron marks on the surface had long been rusted, and there was a nameplate hanging on it.
Even though he couldn't see the writing clearly, Karan knew what was written on the nameplate:
【Peverell】.
This turned out to be the box suspected of containing Antioch's brain!
Meadows... Something happened too? !
