Stone pillars and ruins. Amosta narrowed his eyes and his eyes became dark.
This is really an interesting thing.
In the center of Avalon Island, there is the ancient and magnificent temple full of Greek style. When Amosta saw it, he quickly judged that it was not the original building on the island, but most likely it was Merlin moved his hand from somewhere else.
But why did Merlin do that?
Amosta lowered his eyes and focused his gaze on the cover of the album. Judging from the information he currently has, it is most likely related to the double snake staff.
According to the past events recorded in the nine murals in the center of the island, when Morgan Le Fay and the shadow in his body were defeated by Merlin and King Arthur, they intended to throw the double snake staff in an unknown direction. Then, the exaggerated cross-domain appearance of the shadow The distance caused the staff to return to an isolated island far away from the mainland. After a long search, Merlin found the double snake staff in the temple.
"Why didn't Merlin take away the staff instead of uprooting the temple?"
Grimmauld Place, far away from the city of London, fell into a deserted desolation after the morning rush hour of Muggles going to work. The huge crack that Amosta made in the center of the square earlier has been filled by the Ministry of Magic. The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters restored it, and now it is a green lawn. A few sparrows on the telephone poles fluttered their wings and landed on the lawn, pecking at the grass roots aimlessly.
"unless--"
Amosta murmured in a low voice that only he could hear,
"Unless Merlin can't pick up the magic staff"
Godric Gryffindor, one of the Big Four at Hogwarts, was unable to pick up the double snake staff. The same was true for Merlin, who had almost become a mythical figure. However, he was able to pick it up. Regarding this matter, Amos Ta couldn't be prouder.
He had never forgotten what happened during the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff in early November.
Attracted by the joyful emotions of the little wizards, the dementors guarding the school gate lost control. They swarmed into the campus, intending to drain the joy of the little wizards. In order to drive them away, Amosta faced the camera for the first time. The soul monster used the Patronus Charm, and what happened next is needless to say.
According to Dumbledore, the mutation of the Patronus Curse came from the influence on the soul level. When he used the Patronus, something in his soul that did not belong to him resonated with the dementors, which led to those changes happen.
Stone pillar - temple - ruins - dementors - double snake staff -
This series of seemingly unrelated things is actually deeply related, and the core of all secrets is the dark shadow in Morgan Le Fay's body.
There was something that Amosta had been wondering about since he saw the nine murals in the temple.
At the end of the shocking battle that caused huge damage to the magical environment more than ten centuries ago, Morgan Le Fay and the shadow in her body had failed, and both she and it should know that Merlin had no reason to do so. Be merciful, why bother to hide the staff?
What does that double snake staff mean? What does it mean to be able to pick it up yourself? Why did the Big Four of Hogwarts a thousand years ago get involved in this matter, and why did they deliberately leave a revelation?
"Amosta?"
After a while, Sirius finally got rid of the bad mood brought by the memories. When he looked up, he saw Amosta's expression as if he was in a daze, and his eyes were full of confusion and confusion.
"Is there anything wrong with this stone pillar? Are you wondering why the stone pillars in Azkaban are exactly the same as those in Muggle attractions?"
"oh--"
Amosta suddenly came back to his senses and smiled at Sirius who was watching with concern, but did not answer his question, and this also made Sirius realize that I am afraid this matter is not that simple. On Azkaban Island That broken pillar probably hides some terrible secret.
But that stone pillar has been there for so many years. The Ministry of Magic, which has been controlling the Dementors, has not studied it. The final conclusion must be that the stone pillar is worthless. Otherwise, they would have pulled it out long ago. Brought it back and studied it carefully.
Because of Amosta's attitude, Sirius looked at the cover of the album in his hand again, and this was, Amosta suddenly asked,
"The stone pillar in the ruins, um. Have you observed it carefully? I mean, is there anything special about it?"
Looks special?
This question stumped Sirius. During those years in Azkaban, he suffered bitterly in regret and hatred. Every day he lived was a great torture to him. How could he have the mood to study a common weapon? What special functions do ordinary stone pillars have? Moreover, those dementors--
Dementors!
Sirius's eyes suddenly opened wide with an expression of surprise and uncertainty, and looking at his appearance, Amosta immediately knew that something was wrong.
"What, what did you remember?"
Amosta asked in a deep voice.
"I'm not sure,"
Sirius hesitated, as if he was not entirely sure of what he said.
"On the island where Azkaban is located, there are at least hundreds of dementors. Those disgusting creatures don't stay in prison all day long. In that case, there would probably be every living person in the tower. For a lot of time, Most of the Dementors stay outside and only take turns eating when they are hungry.
The dementors made the island look like the end of the world. They were wandering around the island to prevent brave wizards from sneaking into the island from the sea. Their sky was turned black and gray, but...well, I don't think so. Sure, Amosta, but in our image, they don't seem to be happy to get close to that stone pillar. I mean, when the ruins and stone pillars emerge from the tide-"
Amosta nodded, and then fell into silence.
Sirius also kept quiet. He knew that Amosta might have some secrets. Of course, that person had no secrets in his heart. However, the secrets that this young wizard knew were probably extremely important, and , he also guessed what Amosta might say next.
Regarding this, Sirius was in a fierce struggle in his heart.
Azkaban is definitely a nightmare that all wizards in the British wizarding world do not want to face. He has stayed there for so many years and has a deep understanding that the reputation of that prison is worthy of its illustrious reputation. How many wizards who have committed crimes have never After escaping there, I was unwilling to say a word about life there to anyone for the rest of my life.
Sirius was not stupid. He saw Amosta's hesitation. After sighing softly, Sirius said softly,
"You want to sneak into Azkaban and see that pillar, don't you?"
Before Amosta could respond, he continued,
"To be honest, I don't quite remember the specific location there. After I escaped from there, I swam all the way north towards the mainland. It took at least more than twenty days before I saw the land. If it wasn't for revenge on Peter My faith supports me, and there is no way I can hold on.
But if that pillar is really important to you, Amosta, I can accompany you to take a look. I can probably judge the direction through the position of the stars."
"Just take me to where you landed and give me directions--"
Now that Sirius has exposed it directly, Amosta no longer hides it.
"Azkaban is not a pleasant paradise for you, Sirius, and there is no need for you to take risks with me."
"You helped me find Regulus, Amosta, it's worth repaying with my life--"
Sirius smiled and said,
"And, if you can, I hope you can treat that island the same way you treated the cave last night. Believe me, there will be a lot of wizards who would be happy to see Azkaban sink with the damn things that guard it. From the sea!”
