In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 296

   Chapter 296 294. Bronze Door

   The way Rodolphs and Bella get along with each other is very strange.

  Even in the eyes of most of the other Death Eaters, they can feel that they are more like a couple in name, and they basically don't have much relationship between husband and wife.

  The fact is true.

  Even in private, Bella never gave her husband any kindness, even though this was the first time she met Rodolphs after she learned of the death of her brother-in-law Labastan.

   "The Lestrange family can no longer disappoint their master. You should know this better than anyone else."

  Deep in the ice and snow labyrinth, in front of a huge copper door, Bella said coldly.

  Rodolphs still looks taciturn. Since his own brother died, he has obviously become much more decadent than before.

   "Why is the master sure that this place is no longer important?"

  He asked in a hoarse voice, and at the same time looked up at the old and unremarkable copper door, which seemed to be completely welded to the entire ice layer, and remained motionless beside him.

   Bella had no expression on her face.

   "This is not unimportant to the master, but very important. But he knows that no one in this world can open this door except him, even if Dumbledore comes in person."

   "So, this is actually a decoy?" Rodolphus looked at her sideways.

   "The owner didn't expect this bait to work at first, because they are not stupid. They can't even find such an obvious bait, and they will send people to die."

   Bella looked at Rodolphs's coldly.

"So I keep saying, this is your chance, a chance to make up for your previous failure. We can't deduce why they are willing to let that evil student in since they know it's a bait, but as long as they enter this maze , his only goal is the things behind this door, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to come here."

   "Stay here and kill him. This is the only chance for you and the Lestrange family to regain the trust and favor of the master."

   Bella paused here for a moment before continuing.

   "You don't want to, Rabastan just dies like this, meaningless and worthless."

   There was no change in expression on Rodolphus's face, but the hand holding the wand had already clenched tightly at some point.

   Of course he didn't want all this to become worthless.

   Not only the death of Rabastan, but also the exploits they made in the French Ministry of Magic before.

   Only by recovering their mistakes from here, can they enjoy the rewards and value brought by those achievements again. Otherwise, without Voldemort's trust, everything in the Lestrange family will become a complete joke.

  A joke created by a teenager.

   "Have you asked the owner about that gem?"

   After a moment of silence, Rodolphs raised his head again, and looked at the inconspicuous blue diamond-shaped gemstone embedded in the ice not far from the bronze door.

  Since they discovered this stone, they have thought of many ways to try to get it out, but they all ended in failure.

   Unless they can destroy the entire ice layer connected to the copper door, there is no way to get this strange gem out of it, but the ice layer itself is as indestructible as the door.

   "Only I know about this matter. Let me remind you once again that the current situation of the master has no way to control these matters." Bella said with a cold face.

"Otherwise, do you think that since he attaches so much importance to that boy, why doesn't he come here himself? His condition is not as good as others can see, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of other things at all. He is preparing for another more important matter." That's why I entrusted you and me with such full power! If he needs to do everything himself, then why do we have to do it? Do we **** his blood like moths?”

   As she spoke, she stared closely at Rodolphs' eyes.

   "Remember to rot all the words I said to you in your heart. We have been in France for so long, you should know what words can be said, and what words can't come out of your mouth in this life!"

  Rodolphs didn't make any promises, he just nodded wordlessly.

  He shouldn't have any dissatisfaction. Bella rarely used the tone of a family to say something that should be enough for her to know alone, and he really shouldn't have any dissatisfaction.

  It was inexplicable, he just felt a burst of ridicule, and that burst of ridicule had no reason, just like it was normal for her to say these things to himself without any reason.

  Jon didn't go any further.

  After being less than a mile away from the target, there were significantly more Death Eaters patrolling nearby.

Wearing an invisibility cloak, he stopped in a corner, grabbed Gabriel's arm, and stared at a group of Death Eaters walking not far in front of them, and slowly relaxed the breath he was holding. .

  In the invisibility cloak, Jon reopened the map. He looked at the last straight road from the marked point and said softly.

   "Obviously, this location is not only where the gemstone is located, but also the area that the Death Eaters focus on guarding. It is very likely that this is the final destination that the Dark Lord came to when he came to this maze."

   Gabriel looked up at Jon with her small face up.

   "So what do we do now?"

   This question also made Jon think.

  The passages in the maze are too narrow. It is not impossible to continue walking while wearing an invisibility cloak, but the probability of problems will become higher.

In this short few hundred meters, Jon has seen no less than three waves of Death Eater squads passing by him, which means that if he is discovered, these people can gather him as quickly as possible surrounded.

   When such a situation arises, Jon can't go on at all, he can only use Fox's feather to summon it, and take himself away from here.

   But he couldn't think of any other safer way. The current situation cannot be solved by any strategy. Apart from relying on pure strength to force through, otherwise there will be no other better way.

  Jon thought about it, and finally decided to give it a try.

  He wrapped the invisibility cloak tightly around his body, so that Gabriel always hugged his arm and followed him, and that hand was holding the Feather of Fox.

  Wearing an invisibility cloak, he can dive as deep as he can. Once an accident occurs, he will directly pinch the feathers in his hands to death without stopping at all.

  Jon knew very well that if he took a risk, he would not only be risking his own life, but also the life of Gabriel who was with him!

At the same time, he blocked the still hard Nick in front of him again. The petrified Nick is an excellent shield. He can block the Killing Curse without being destroyed by the spell itself, which can give Jon Security provides great protection.

   After making all the preparations, Jon took Gabriel and continued to move forward with great care.

   As long as they encounter Death Eaters again, they will stop immediately and wait until the group of Death Eaters pass by before continuing their actions.

   In this way, they walked slowly forward for about two hours, and they finally saw a field that was relatively open compared to other places in the maze.

   There are about a dozen Death Eaters stationed here, and there are still tents set up in the open space. As if they knew in advance that Jon would come to such a place, they made preparations to wait for rabbits early in the morning.

  Jon didn't enter the open space rashly, but hid at the edge of the entrance of the maze, observing the people guarding here.

   It was undoubtedly the "old acquaintance" who caught his attention the first time.

Rodolphus was sitting by a fire and warming his hands. Compared with Jon who saw him on the sea, he now has a scruffy beard and an ugly pale and haggard face. It is obvious that he has passed a little during this time. Not good.

  The second person who attracted Jon's attention was a woman with wavy black hair, dark nail polish on her nails, and a cold complexion and sharp eyes.

   This is the first time Jon has seen this woman, but her temperament, coupled with her identity as a female Death Eater, made Jon have to think of a person, a woman who is very famous in the original book.

  Bellatrix Lestrange!

  One of Voldemort's most loyal subordinates, but also a fanatic with cruel and despicable means.

  She is still related to Sirius, but she was the one who killed the **** dog with her own hands.

Jon didn't expect her to come here too, but thinking about it, it doesn't make people feel strange. Rodolphus is already a loser who has failed once. Even if Voldemort is willing to give him another chance, it is impossible. Just let him take full responsibility for this matter with peace of mind.

  Although Bella is the wife of Rodolphus, compared with the master-servant relationship between Voldemort, the so-called husband-wife relationship can be called bullshit.

  After seeing Bella, Jon's heart became more vigilant again.

  He knew very well that even though this woman was famous for her madness, she could be said to be the most shrewd and capable subordinate under Voldemort.

After the fall of France, Dumbledore has always suspected that the person who pretended to be the justice "Roland" was Bella, and she was the biggest contributor to the eventual fall of the whole of France into Voldemort's hands. Even at the beginning, even Dumbledore I was deceived by her.

   Apart from the couple Rodolphs and Bella, what attracted Jon's attention the most was the door facing him that seemed to be made entirely of bronze.

  That door looks very old, and the surface can only vaguely see some long stripe patterns carved on it, and what these reliefs are is no longer clear.

  Jon frowned and looked at the door, and his intuition told him that what the Death Eaters really guarded was here, and this was where Voldemort really stayed when he came to this maze.

   But that door always gave Jon a very unusual feeling. There was no closed door gap at all in the whole door, as if a huge bronze plate was directly embedded in the ice.

   Then his eyes drifted, and when he saw the ice wall on the left of the bronze door, Jon's pupils shrank slightly!

   It was a blue diamond-shaped stone, so small that even if it was embedded in a ring, it would be enough to hold five of them.

  The gems seem to be completely integrated with the ice layer, and there is no difference between them.

  Jon suppressed his inner excitement, turned his head and winked with Gabriel.

  Gabrielle nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Under such circumstances, she didn't even dare to take a breath, and followed Jon's command all the time.

Wearing an invisibility cloak, Jon took Gabriel and began to leave the passage of the maze very carefully. He had already put a layer of thick cotton cloth on the soles of his shoes, so that he would not have the slightest trace when he stepped on the ice. sound came out.

In this way, he held his breath, leaned against the corner, and passed a Death Eater who was delivering a teapot to Rodolphs almost face to face, and barely passed through two tents that were close together, and finally Close to the ice surface inlaid with gems.

  Jon didn't rush to try to buckle the gemstone immediately, he knew very well that things would not be so simple.

If this stone could be taken away so easily by him, Adrian would not have left it here at that time. He made a special trip to the North Pole just for this thing. take it away.

   There are also these Death Eaters, they are not blind, this gem is not conspicuous, but it is not so that the people who stay here cannot find it.

Such a strange stone, Jon does not believe that the Death Eaters have never tried to take it out of the ice, but it is still here, which proves that neither Adrian nor the Death Eaters have succeeded .

Paying attention to other people's things around him, after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, Jon carefully took the ring off his finger, and then used the missing groove on it to slowly approach the ring on the ice. gem.

   But even though he had completely pressed the ring against the blue gemstone, the stone didn't have the slightest intention of being directly embedded in the ring.

   This disappointed Jon, but it was expected.

  He stared at the gemstone for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the stone was completely integrated with the surrounding ice layer. Unless it was possible to blow up the ice layer, it would be impossible to take it out.

   Such a discovery made Jon even more puzzled. How did Adrian make such a compact stone here?

   Doubt did not stay in his mind for long, and soon Jon temporarily gave up the idea of ​​forcibly taking the gem away.

  Since he can't get it now, it doesn't mean he won't be able to get it in the future. Anyway, he already knows this place, and the Death Eaters can't send people here forever. There will be time for him to come back and try again.

   And now his main target should be the guarded door!

  Jon stared at the bronze door and narrowed his eyes.
