After the battle to annihilate the werewolves, Ryan and the others spent half a month in this forest clearing to study this magical ruins. Through the excavation of a large number of puppets, an ancient and large-scale ancient city appeared.
In front of everyone.
During the time they were digging, the outside world also changed a lot. When the alchemy dolls sent the rescued hostages back to Hogsmeade Hospital and their own manor respectively, they also brought some help to Ryan and the others.
Here comes the latest information from outside.
Voldemort's previous harassment of Hogwarts was indeed to contain Dumbledore, but to Ryan's surprise, in addition to ambushing himself and containing Dumbledore, Voldemort concentrated all the means he could control now.
The Death Eaters stormed Azkaban Castle and almost succeeded.
Fortunately, under Moody's command, the Azkaban defenders did not suffer much damage. And the group of Death Eaters rushed into the prison for serious criminals on the top floor of the castle from the top of the castle and triggered Ryan's previous setting.
That magic circle.
After sensing the entry of a large number of unauthorized persons, the magic circle quickly overloaded and exploded. Everyone who was enveloped in this area at that time suffered a strong soul shock. According to the information brought back by the alchemy puppet, it was in Az
According to the letter from Sirius who participated in the battle in Caban, 80% of the serious prisoners in custody were killed on the spot, and three Death Eaters were also killed because they were too close to react.
At the same time, those who survived suffered serious soul damage. This also forced them to evacuate from Azkaban Castle with all the still living people and some corpses while they had an absolute advantage.
In short, Voldemort's operation failed again this time, and the losses were heavy. At least the werewolves were almost wiped out, which was an irreparable loss for Voldemort, especially when it dawned the next day after the attack.
Ryan found the skeleton of almost all the evil werewolves down to Fenrir Greyback in a pile of bombed and shattered corpses.
The biggest impact of the near-annihilation of werewolves on Voldemort was that he could no longer threaten others through the use of werewolves, a very effective method of terror. This also greatly reduced Voldemort's control over the areas he ruled. For example,
The letter from Lupin brought back by the puppet stated that many more wizards have fled to the north recently than before.
Of course, in addition to telling Ryan this information, Lupine's letter also used a large paragraph to express his gratitude to him at the end. Because he experienced painful pain after being bitten by Fenrir Greyback.
In the first half of his life, now that Ryan and the others had successfully killed Greyback in the battle, Lupine had settled something on his mind.
In addition to letters from Sirius and Lupin, they also received letters from other people during their time digging in the jungle. For example, greetings from Harry, Percy, Neville, the Weasley twins and even Luna
Letters, these letters also brought a lot of fun to the boring excavation work, and reading these letters under the light of the tent and replying to friends became their rare entertainment activities during this time.
After half a month of excavation, the outline of a city in the jungle was sorted out. According to the archaeological map, they found that the city was large enough to accommodate 10,000 people living together. If they consider that the city is 1,000
If you look at the city many years ago, it can be seen that this city was almost a miracle in Britain at that time.
"To be precise, they are architectural ruins from more than 1,400 to 1,500 years ago." After using a mixture of science and magic to examine a large number of building components and even some of the excavated vessels, Hermione roughly deduced the origin of this ruins.
existence time.
"I think I can determine what this place is about." Ryan had just cleaned up a red pottery bowl with only the lower half left. Judging from the remaining parts, the pottery bowl was smooth, hard, and evenly colored. It should be
It was used by the nobles. After turning over the bowl, there was a notch on the bottom of the bowl with a word in Latin: Camelot.
"Camelot, the capital of King Arthur?" Hermione, who had read a lot of books, suddenly became excited after hearing the word Ryan's performance. "I always thought it was just a legend."
"How could it be a legend?" Ryan showed the bottom of the bowl to Hermione. "Don't forget that Merlin really existed in the history recorded by wizards, and the Merlin Knight Medal was originally to commemorate Merlin who helped ordinary people like Merlin.
Wizards, which specifically states that King Arthur did exist in that era."
"And this also gives us a direction for our next investigation." Ryan said as he took out a book from the space bag, then turned to a certain page and pointed to Hermione word by word: "
——Because King Arthur’s father, King Uther, once carried out a massacre of wizards in the country, Camelot is a holy city that cannot be invaded by evil magic.”
"In other words, the inability to use magic in this land is related to the wizards who died here thousands of years ago." After listening to Ryan read, Hermione raised her eyebrows and said. "After all, legends cannot be fabricated out of thin air.
"
"Yes, all kinds of legends will always leave a shadow of facts." Ryan closed the book and nodded. "And if it is related to the soul, the death power you control can play a big role in this situation.
effect."
Sure enough, in the subsequent targeted search, they easily eliminated a large number of places that were of little significance. Finally, they focused their search on the empty space before.
Now the soil and lawn used by the Death Eaters to camouflage in the entire clearing have been removed by those alchemy puppets, and what is left is a ruined wall that was previously hidden under the ground. It was caused by various natural and man-made factors over a long period of time.
Severely damaged, the highest part of the remaining ruins is only as high as a person and a half. However, the occasional exquisite reliefs that remain in the remaining parts and the remaining paint in the corners of the reliefs all illustrate the former magnificence of this castle.
"It's a pity that all the discoveries in this place cannot be told to ordinary people." Hermione sighed after the whole thing was cleared. "Otherwise, just the name Camelot would be enough to shock the whole world."
As she spoke, she used her wand to gently brush away the dust on an khaki marble plaque buried under the wall, and a scene depicting a knight riding a horse and fighting a dragon appeared on it. "This is marble from Syria,
In ancient Roman times this was considered the finest marble. And its presence here shows that international trade more than 1,000 years ago was much more prosperous than people know now."
"Because outside researchers have ignored wizards and magic." Ryan said looking at the marble slab. "Don't forget that a wizard can easily carry dozens of tons of marble across the Mediterranean to England in three days, and if not allowed
If someone with magic skills were to do it, it would take at least 30 people and a month to complete this feat."
"You are right." Ryan nodded. "And even with the help of wizards, these top-quality marbles from foreign countries are very precious. So I can be sure that we have now dug into the core area of the castle."
After finishing speaking, Ryan held Hermione's hand and summoned the Virgin of the Rose. Soon, with the cooperation of the two people's magic power, a pink light wrapped in red mist spread in all directions with them as the core.
"Found it." The two people opened their eyes at the same time and said in unison. At this time, five or six meters in front of them to the right, a three-meter diameter area began to seep out traces of gray mist.
"It seems that this is the place we want to look for." Ryan and the others walked over, then bent down and looked at the stone slab that was no different from the surroundings. "I hope we can find something that surprises us soon."
