In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 294 292. Maps
Adrian Fox.

This name only appeared in his memory two or three short times, but it was these two or three times that Jon deeply remembered it.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because his biggest reliance now, whether it's the levitating spell or the variation of the universal solution, the necessary ring and the gemstones on the ring are all created by a wizard with this name!

This person used to be a good friend of Slughorn, but after creating the ring and a few gems, he passed away. He didn't even have the chance to see whether the work he completed had any real effect.

Jon never expected to find his laboratory in this underground labyrinth in the North Pole!

"What's up? Jon."

Floating above his head, Gabriel, who was still confused, asked suspiciously.

Of course she didn't know Adrian Fox, and she didn't understand what the name meant to Jon.

Jon also came back to his senses at this time, he took a deep breath and said softly.

"I am fine."

Then he reached out his hand towards the door, trying to push it open.

However, the ordinary-looking wooden door remained motionless, as if it was locked, and there was no way to open it directly.

In the case that the other three rooms were destroyed by the basilisk, the entrance of this laboratory is still so well preserved. Of course, it is unlikely that the basilisk will be merciful. The biggest possibility is that the laboratory itself has Part of the protection ability.

After Jon tried to push the door directly to no avail, he tried to wave his wand and use the unlocking spell on the doorknob, but it still had no effect.

Then he took off the ring that he had been wearing around his neck, put it on the index finger of his right hand again, and finally pushed the door with the ring-wearing hand.

This time, he didn't encounter any resistance, so he easily pushed the door open!
Jon showed an expression as expected, while Gabriel looked at the ring on Jon's hand with a look of surprise. Even if Jon used it, he had never taken it out before.

"Who gave you this ring? Have you been proposed by any girl?"

Jon flicked her head angrily.

"It was given to me by one of my teachers. You hadn't come to Hogwarts at that time. You were so young, what was going on in your head."

Gabriel held her head with aggrieved expression and followed Jon into the laboratory.

Obviously, this room has not been damaged like the other three rooms, and the various furniture inside are still neatly arranged around.

There is a small bookcase in the corner, but apart from a few empty vases, there are no other books on it. There is a single bed at the corner between the two walls, covered with mattress sheets, and a bed. Quilt.

There is a set of tables and chairs facing the door, with some old parchment left on them.

Jon wandered around the bookshelves first, and after finding nothing more than the vases, he came to the desk and began to flip through the messy parchments.

These are obviously some experimental notes, but the content is very scattered. Jon studied for a long time before he could see that he had come to the North Pole, and wanted to find more gems that could be embedded in the ring and used to cast spells on himself.

The importance of gemstones to rings is similar to the core of a wand, but compared to most materials that belong to magical creatures that can be used as cores, the requirements for gemstones in rings are extremely demanding.

Adrian has been researching all his life, and he only found a gem on Mount Olympus that can transmit the magic power of a wizard's body, but the weight of that stone can only allow him to divide three stones at most. The double-digit-plus gems are a far cry.

Yes, at the beginning, he planned to make the gemstones more finely divided. Embedding such stones on the ring can make the magic that the ring can cast more diverse, but unfortunately, it is finally limited by some reasons of the wizard itself. , and the raw materials are limited, so only five gems can be made.

And Adrian, who came to the North Pole, started to go out and continue to search for suitable materials after he used up the stone from Mount Olympus, and finally found it under the maze of the North Pole.

Jon rummaged through the scattered materials on the table, and he could only roughly see that Adrian did successfully make a gemstone in this maze, but for some unknown reason, he managed to take the gemstone away. .

Because of incomplete information, Jon didn't find out the reason, but he was sure that there was indeed a gemstone left here.

This made Jon extremely excited. Ever since Slughorn handed him the ring, Jon knew better than anyone how much the ring itself had improved him.

If it weren't for the ability to cast spells on himself, the dangers he experienced alone would have killed a normal wizard hundreds of times without knowing it.

And for Jon, every extra gem represents a newly promoted spell position. He can rely on this gem to research new magic that can improve himself, which represents another strength for him. across.

But Adrian left too little information here, and those scattered materials are more like a pile of useless waste manuscripts. Apart from letting Jon know the purpose and results of his coming here, there is nothing more. A lot of information is provided.

After Jon went through all the information on the table, he opened a drawer beside the table, and in the drawer, he made a new discovery!
A very rare find!

"Look at this!"

His voice attracted Gabriel, who was wandering around the room, trying to figure out where in the maze they were in this corridor.

She floated to Jon's side, and together they looked at the parchment they found in the drawer.

That's a map!
A map depicting the route of most of the maze.

Adrian obviously lived in this sub-ice labyrinth for a long time, and he didn't know how he got along with the basilisk, but it seemed that no conflict broke out between the two sides.

That is to say, during this period of time, he not only found stones suitable for making ring gems under the ice, but also drew a map along all the routes of the maze.

Although the map is a bit crude, it is not an ordinary blueprint, it has special magic on it, although it is not as magical as the Marauder's Map in Hogwarts, but it can also rely on the map itself. Continue positioning on the map.

Their current location is the northwest corner of the entire map, and the area of ​​the maze depicted on the map is extremely huge.

It took nearly half a day for Jon and the others to get from the entrance to the current location, which is only about one-tenth the size of the entire maze.

There are also two or three targets marked on this map. There is no other explanation to see what these marks represent. What is certain is that one of these marks must be the gem that Adrian did not take away from here. !

With this, it not only provided Jon with a walking route in the maze, but also gave him a definite goal.

Even though he has already entered the maze, Jon actually hasn't figured out why Grindelwald asked him to come here specially, but now that he has the news of one of the ring gems, he at least has an accurate direction .

It can be said that this map is his biggest gain after entering the maze.

Afterwards, Jon carefully checked everything in the room again, and after confirming that there were no other more valuable discoveries, he had no intention of leaving here immediately.

At present, this corridor is safe for the time being, and Jon didn't rest during the day, he rushed for a day, and then fought with a group of Death Eaters in the evening, and ran away after entering the maze I have been exercising nervously for several hours, and I even killed a basilisk just now.

This has already made Jon feel exhausted. It just so happens that there are beds and quilts in this laboratory. He used a cleaning spell and lay down on the bed with peace of mind, and then "hired" child labor, so that those who did not need to rest Bree helped guard the corridor outside the door, and fell asleep peacefully like this.

Jon was indeed very tired. When he woke up, he looked at the pocket watch on his body, and it was almost ten hours later.

Gabriel was so idle during this period that she panicked, and when Jon came out from the laboratory to find her, she was squatting in the room that belonged to the basilisk cafeteria to observe the bears and wolves in the ice.

"Do you want to taste what Xiaobai No. [-] tastes like?"

Jon's seductive voice rang in Gabrielle's ears, which made Gabriel stunned, and a stream of crystal clear saliva subconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

But then, she struggled and shook her head.

"In no mood!"

"The bears in these ice cubes are already dead. We dug up one and cut off its palm to taste it, and there was nothing wrong with it."

But even if Jon said so, Gabriel still couldn't accept eating a creature of the same kind that she had been friends with before.

Even after hearing Jon say that as long as the bear's paws are roasted on the fire and sprinkled with a little cumin, salt and chili powder, how delicious it will be, she slipped "sad" from the corner of her mouth again without disappointment. Drooling, but in the end, he still insisted not to be overwhelmed by the delicious nature.

Jon could only regretfully take out the dry food that Eric had prepared for them from his pocket, and gave some of it to Gabriel.

Of course, Gabrielle in the ghost state will not feel any hunger, but she is not a real ghost after all, and she has been using her sense of taste to taste something, which is always good for her future state.

After eating and drinking enough, they re-packed and were ready to go. Jon carried Nick, who still looked terrified, on his back, and left with a map in his hand in the opposite direction from the corridor they entered.

When he came to the end of the corridor, Jon did the same thing as if he had entered here, used a universal despell on himself, and then left here with Gabriel.

Returning to the icy labyrinth, this time they didn't have to turn around like headless chickens when they encountered a fork in the road. Instead, they followed the directions on the map and headed towards the nearest marked point.

"Why does Nick always have this expression, can I help him change?"

Gabriel, floating behind Jon, tries to have some fun with Nick.

"If you can move his face, of course you can change it casually."

"He's hard as a rock, I'm sure I can't squeeze it! Give me a quill, please, Jon."

Hearing Gabriel's request, Jon shook his head decisively.

"If you want, you can take it yourself. If I give it to you, and you scribble on Nick's face, then he will definitely reprimand me loudly after he recovers."

"He will definitely not know now. As long as I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, no one will know."

Gabriel floated around Jon, she had been wanting to draw a bastard on Nick's face for a long time.

But as Nick's loyal friend, Jon still sternly rejected her (in fact, he knew that although Nick had been petrified, his perception of the outside world was still there.), and protectively put Nick on his back on his back. In front of him, to prevent Gabriel from making trouble secretly.

Just as Gabriel kept begging Jon, and they had just passed a fork in the road, Jon suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart!

This premonition came out of nowhere, like a sudden panic, but there was obviously nothing around!

He didn't take this flustering seriously. This intuition-like perception has verified its accuracy many times. Grindelwald also emphasized to him that this intuition is actually a manifestation of his talent for prophecy .

All Yi En immediately stopped the play with Gabrielle, stopped Gabriel with a solemn face, and stopped her own steps.

Gabriel could feel the seriousness of the matter from Jon's expression, she immediately shut up, grabbed Jon's clothes corner obediently, and followed him closely.

After a rough glance around, Jon didn't find anything unusual, but he still didn't move forward. Instead, he kept looking at the front of him, holding the wand in his hand, and started to step back cautiously.

Just when he took the second step backwards, a sudden change occurred!

On the ice walls on the left and right, as well as the position directly in front of him, there was a twist of air, and three figures suddenly appeared!

At the same time they appeared, the sound of spells sounded together!
"Avada Kedavra!"

The miserable green light instantly illuminated the passage of the entire maze, and the three killing curses that almost blocked Jon's entire retreat, tore through the icy air like violent snakes!
Jon, who was always blessed by the floating spell, the moment his brain reacted, his body began to limit the distance and position at a speed that normal people could not do.

But even so, he narrowly avoided the two killing curses, and the killing curse shot from the left still accurately hit his body.
On the former petrified Nick!
