The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 605 Dead Hollow Tree
The flame can shed the flesh from the bones, and it can also wash away the sins lingering in the heart.It can wash away all the dirt in this world.

The entire village was shrouded in a sea of ​​flames. The wooden houses in the center of the village, the dense tents, and the terrified and howling people could not escape the sea of ​​flames.

All sins, all misfortunes, everything will be burned by the flames of judgment and turned into scorched earth.

The chubby Mr. Jim was lying on the ground dejectedly, his eyes were dull, his expression was dull, and he kept muttering "the devil" until the ruthless fire swallowed him up.

The fire burned all night until the first light of dawn came from the sky.There is a wind in the forest, blowing the old forest and making a "woo-woo" sound, like weeping and complaining.The rising black smoke was also blown away by the wind, and with the last sound of collapse and rupture, only a layer of ashes remained in the small village.

The ground under his feet was no longer dark red soaked in blood, but the black scorched earth exuded a scorching temperature.

This is destruction, but also rebirth. When the burnt smell in the air dissipates, and when winter turns to spring, this place will become a new paradise.

……

Having not slept all night, Ada's expression was inevitably a little tired. As long as the fire had been burning, she had been watching for a long time with the head soaking spell.Setting fire to the mountain and sitting in prison, if she doesn't watch, this old forest with few people is afraid that it will be lost.

Staying away from this scorched earth, Ada made some food for herself, which were all fast food. She should not want to eat meat very much in the short term.

After roasting so many people at once, the taste left a deep impression on her.

Padding her stomach, and sitting and resting for a while, Ada walked into this vast black forest to look for traces that Voldemort might have left behind.As for the secret treasure that Mr. Jim mentioned last night, Ida is not very interested.

The forest resources in the Kingdom of Mountain Eagles are mainly arbors, which are often tall. In forests like the Black Forest, the arbors are usually six meters to tens of meters high.This prevents sunlight from penetrating through the arbor forest, and only dappled light spots shine down. Even though the sun is shining brightly outside the forest at this moment, the light inside the forest is still dim.

When she first entered the forest, Ada didn't feel much, but as she kept walking, getting deeper and deeper into the dark forest, Ada actually felt the slightest chill.

In order to dispel the chill, Ada replaced the fluorescent spell hanging behind her with a small fireball, which is equivalent to replacing a cold light stick with a torch.

The wand was not put away either, but was held in his hand, just in case.

Ada's heart was pounding. Whether she was outside the forest last night or went deep into the forest today, there were not many signs of life in this relatively primitive old forest, which was unreasonable.

Perhaps, something drives away the animals in the forest, keeping them from approaching.Dire magical animals, or some kind of magic?

According to Jim, there are black wandering spirits wandering in the Black Forest, could it be because of the so-called "wandering spirits"?
With question marks in her head, Ada continued walking, and took out the gold-rimmed glasses given by the system by the way.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the nose helped somewhat, although it greatly slowed Ada's speed into the forest.Because the glasses will always light up a faint light, let her look for clues.

After looking around, they didn't find any traces of magic, but found many rotting furs of animals.Only fur, no bones!

This is strange, if you want to say that the original owners of these furs were eaten, what about their remaining bones?If you say they died by some kind of magic, why is it that only the fur remains?
It’s hard to hate books when they’re used. Fantastic Beasts and Where Are They is a good book. Ida must read it carefully after leaving Albania.Mr. Newt Scamander is a good man, and I must visit him in Dorset when we return to England.

What animal eats without spitting out bones?
What first came into Ada's mind was not some kind of magical animal in the magic world, not the big babies raised by Hagrid, but another shadow of her own childhood, "The Plague of the Python".In particular, Ada still remembers the magnificent appearance of the giant python, and the scene of swallowing the villain and spitting it out again.

But this is a forest in Europe, not the Amazon in South America. There will be no giant anacondas here, but a twelve-foot-long giant snake is possible.It also has a name, Nagini.

Thinking of this, Ada tapped her head, staying up all night would really slow down people's thinking.

The leftover animal fur, the giant snake that inhabits it, the Black Forest where Voldemort hides, the hints couldn't be more obvious!For the perception of danger, animals are much more sensitive than humans, and the combination of wandering spirits and giant snakes is enough to make animals dare not approach this area.

Knowing the reason for the abnormal silence and making sure that she was on the right path, Ada was a little excited, and her steps accelerated unconsciously.Not to mention that it looks like flying, but also the wind blows under your feet.

The arbor forest was tall and dense, and it became pitch black early on, and there were no obvious signs in the old forest. Ada didn't know how long or how far she had walked.

In fact, Ada has a pocket watch, which is well-known and expensive, but that pocket watch was burned last night.It was used as a hidden weapon by Ada, and killed a wizard in the tavern with a wand and a long sword on his waist.

When the night was so thick that the little fireball could not penetrate, Ada finally found an abandoned camp in the forest.

In order to be able to see the whole picture of the camp clearly, Ada increased the power of the fireball (magic power output).Under the reflection of the fire, the abandoned camp appeared in her eyes.

The tent in the camp had collapsed due to a broken rope. It was originally a simple tent made of wood and fur, which was neither strong nor durable.Not far from the tent is the same scattered wooden frame. Judging from the traces left on the ground and the scattered dead branches, it is a place for making a fire.

The reason Ada can make such an accurate judgment is not because she is careful, but because there are two overturned cauldrons next to the scattered wooden shelves.

Waving her wand continuously, Ada tidied up the messy camp.

In the process of sorting out, Ada found nothing. To be precise, the former owner of the camp had left nothing for her.

If the camp had been left by Voldemort and Foley, it had been abandoned for almost three years.It's crazy what can be left behind for such a long time.

After setting up her own luxuriously decorated tent with one bedroom and one living room, and applying protective magic such as "safe guarding", Ada got into the tent to rest.

When Ada stepped out of the tent and saw the forest with insufficient light in front of her, she almost got back into the tent again.Fortunately, Ada reacted in time, so she didn't continue to sleep in the dark.

After proper tidying up, Ada began to re-study the campsite.

Time covered up the remaining clues here, and Ada couldn't even find the medicine residue in the cauldron.Just when she was about to give up and return in vain, the gold-rimmed glasses produced by the system shone brightly again.

Following vague hints, Ada began to look for the source of the light, which led her to a hollow tree.This hollow tree is already dead, not only the heart of the tree is dead and a big hole is formed, even the branches and leaves have all fallen off, bare and lifeless.

Around the hollow tree, Ada turned left three times, turned right three times, and then yelled, "Go!"

However, the hollow tree is not a big willow tree, and Ida is not a monk with a rough face and a thunderous mouth. Tsinghua Village failed to appear out of thin air, and the hollow tree is still the hollow tree, as if mocking her naivety.

Ada, who came up from Xiaoxing, kicked the hollow tree angrily, and there was a sudden change in the forest.
