Chapter 163 161. Sea and Ship

The Thestrals really didn't need Jon to drive them.

They seemed to know the next journey very clearly, leading the carriage to run forward continuously.

The surrounding scenery was constantly receding, and Beech was lying on Jon's head, grabbing Jon's hair with two small paws, and the night wind blew all the hair on his body upright.

Jon took a deep breath, holding the reins in his hand tightly, and he still felt unreal.

The third grade started and Halloween had not yet passed. Now the students and professors in the school were forced to separate, and the meaning of Dumbledore's last conversation with him was to hand over the fate of the students left in the carriage to him.

And to find out why Voldemort became like this?

In fact, Jon has been thinking about this problem almost every day since he came to this world. Now it seems that not only him, but Dumbledore has always wanted to find out about this matter. After all, just like in the original book, if you want to defeat this dark devil, at least you have to understand the source of his power first.

People don't change so much for no reason. Something must have happened in the middle to make the devil who was once like a murderous madman become what he is now.

But Jon didn't figure out what kind of arrangement Dumbledore made. Even now, even if he held the reins in his hand, he didn't know where the Thestrals were going to pull the carriage.

And just when he was far away from the battlefield between the Order of the Phoenix wizards and the Death Eaters, the originally clear starry sky was suddenly shrouded by an unknown darkness.

Jon subconsciously tightened the wand in his hand and looked up at the sky.

I don't know when, a huge bat was gliding over the carriage!

The wings of the bat were like a black cloth as big as a basketball court. When they were stretched out, they gave people a shocking feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

When Jon looked up and saw the bat, the bat's cold eyes were also staring straight at him.

In Jon's cognition, there is only one such huge bat-shaped magical animal in the entire magic world.

Voldemort!

An extremely evil black magic creature, very rare, generally only living in tropical areas, likes to sneak attack people in their sleep, suffocate people with its thick fleshy wings, and then eat them, and every time it eats a person, its wings will become thicker and bigger.

A normal vomitor bat is only as big as an adult, and the one that now appears in front of Jon is far beyond the "normal" range!

It must have eaten a lot of people to grow to such a size, and only human flesh can provide it with nutrients for continuous growth.

This terrifyingly huge vomitor bat only stared at Jon for a second, and then it began to dive down!

The thick fleshy wings had no intention of being retracted at all, like a piece of black cloth, to wrap the entire Hogwarts carriage from above, just like it usually suffocated those prey, and all the students in this car were wrapped in its wings!

"God's Edge Without Shadow!"

Without any hesitation, the moment he saw its intention, Jon also waved his staff and cast a spell without hesitation!

The invisible blade cut through the air in an instant, and the next moment it landed on the broad fleshy wings of the Voldemort!

"Puff!"

The sound of flesh being cut open rang out. This black magic created by Snape had both extremely fast casting speed and extremely high power. As long as the caster did not react at the moment of chanting the spell, it would be almost impossible to dodge this spell.

Moreover, the Voldemort's target was so large that it would be strange if Jon's spell could not hit it.

But it was precisely because of the huge size of this bat that the damage caused by Jon's attack to it was almost the same as a cut on a person's finger, which was almost negligible.

Its falling movement was not hindered at all, and the smelly blood was splashed on the roof of the carriage, and then the entire carriage was wrapped in its wings!

The action of the Voldemort did not stop the running of the Thestrals. Its weight seemed to be no resistance to these natural divine horses. It was like a huge black octopus attached to the carriage, and its broad wings were still tightening.

On the carriage, all the students who were gathered in the restaurant at this time saw the windows of the carriage closed by black flesh wings, followed by a violent shaking!

The young first-year students huddled in the corner in panic. They didn't know what happened, but the fear in their hearts had filled their hearts.

Although the senior students couldn't suppress their inner uneasiness, they had experienced more storms than the freshmen. In this case, they still had the experience to comfort and take care of the crying freshmen.

"Why is Jon not here?" Hermione looked a little pale, but she still retained the most basic calmness.

Neville handed a piece of chocolate to a freshman. His frown obviously also represented worry, but he still thought in a good direction.

"Jon may be with the professors. Don't worry, he will not be in any danger."

At this time, the students in the carriage did not know that their professors had left the carriage and blocked the last enemy for them. They were the only ones in the whole school.

The bat had not stopped moving.

Just when it was about to pull the entire carriage into its body, a faint silver light suddenly shone out from the gap!

The moment the silver light came on, the wings of the Voldemort, which were originally tightening, suddenly began to relax.

It was like it had encountered the thing it hated and feared the most, letting go of the carriage that was almost in its bag and rising into the sky again.

Jon held up the magic wand with silver light constantly wandering in his hand, and stood up awkwardly from the driver's seat.

The position he was in was not blocked on three sides, and it was the place where the space was compressed first after the Voldemort's flesh wings tightened. Fortunately, Jon finally played the effect of the Patronus Charm in actual combat for the first time before the last bit of space for casting disappeared.

Although the Patronus has not been successfully summoned, the scattered silver light has already had enough impact on the Voldemort.

This creature has almost no weaknesses, but just like the Dementors, it is naturally afraid of the Patronus Charm. This has nothing to do with how big they can grow, it is more like a natural restraint.

However, the unformed Patronus still lacked some effectiveness. Even if the Voldemort let go of the carriage, it still followed closely above the carriage.

It stared at the silver light on the tip of Jon's wand, as if it knew very well that the Patronus Charm he used would not last long. As long as the light went out, the Voldemort would pounce again and eat everyone in the carriage!

The more it came to this point, the calmer Jon was. He held up the wand in his hand, letting the silver light flow around the carriage.

The Thestrals were still running forward, as if they had heard Dumbledore's last advice to Jon, to keep moving forward!

Jon could not stop casting the Patronus Charm. The Voldemort flying in the sky was like a jackal following its prey on the grassland. Once he showed the slightest sign of timidity, the monster would eat the most delicious delicacy without hesitation.

So now Jon must find a way to break through the current dilemma as soon as possible. He can't cast the Patronus Charm endlessly. It won't be long before he runs out of energy and can't continue to cast the spell.

He held the wand in one hand and the reins in the other, his brain was spinning rapidly, but before he could think of a solution, he suddenly saw a steep cliff in front of the carriage in the faint moonlight!

Subconsciously, Jon held his breath!

He suddenly tightened the reins in his hand, and the first thing he thought of was to change the direction of the Night Thestral, but before he put this idea into action, before leaving, the advice Dumbledore left for him came to his mind.

'No matter what you encounter, or what obstacles are ahead, remember what I say now, go forward, keep going forward! '

Jon didn't know whether Dumbledore was encouraging him spiritually or guiding him in action, but he knew that Dumbledore's words couldn't be useless.

He gritted his teeth, didn't pull the reins hard, and stared at the front!

The Thestrals had no intention of stopping, and Jon gave up his original idea of ​​driving them to turn.

Not only did their speed not slow down at all, but it was getting faster and faster, so fast that it seemed to take everyone flying!

The Fudi Bat was also raising its altitude, and it looked at the carriage with humane mockery, as if it had seen the end of the road for everyone in the car!

In Jon's invisible field of vision, the Thestrals spread their dark wings and suddenly took off when they ran to the highest point of the cliff!

The ropes that were pulling on them and connecting the carriages suddenly loosened, and then suddenly tightened again.

Under the moonlight, the carriage seemed to be suspended in the air!

Jon grabbed the reins in his hand, and the entire back half of Beech above his head flew up with inertia, and could only hold Jon's hair tightly with his two front claws!

Under such circumstances, Jon naturally had no way to continue casting the Patronus Charm. The silver light at the tip of his wand began to fade, and just as it was about to go out, the Voldemort above the carriage aimed at the best gap, and its huge body suddenly crashed into the carriage!

Such a huge force caused the carriage to fall suddenly, and the Thestrals, which were originally spreading their wings in the sky, did not struggle or resist at all. They followed this force obediently, spreading their wings and gliding down the cliff.

There was not a flat land below, but an endless sea!

Jon could not see the Thestrals, and naturally could not see their actions at the moment, but as soon as the carriage began to fall, he saw the waves below.

At this moment, for some reason, he remembered a question he asked the old man at the beginning of this year.

[Then why do we have to stay in Britain, Professor Dumbledore? 】

【.It actually inherited the Hogwarts Castle before it was conquered eight years ago, and has a very special meaning for this land. This means that its wheels can only turn on the ground in Britain forever, but cannot touch the land outside the British Isles. 】

The wheels can only turn on the ground in Britain. There is no way to touch the land outside the British Isles.

"Plop!"

The carriage fell into the turbulent sea, splashing waves dozens of meters high.

The flying bat circled around the sea for a long time, as if hoping that one or two surviving people could float up from the water as its dinner tonight.

But to its disappointment, it seemed that no one escaped from the carriage that sank to the bottom of the sea, and it was drowned in the waves that were constantly rolling.

The bat did not stay any longer, and began to return in the direction it came from. The owner who raised it was still waiting for it to report back. Now even if these human cubs were not eaten by it, it could give it an explanation after returning and get more rewards.

The "dark cloud" that covered a large area of ​​the starry sky flew away, and the sea area, which was being carried by the cold October night wind and the waves constantly hitting the reefs, no longer had any traces of people or carriages.

However, not far from this sea area, in a sea far away from the coastline.

A huge and old wooden boat silently rose from the sea and then jumped out of the sea!

The seawater slid down from the deck and splashed on the sea surface, making a pleasant sound of water.

Jon was sitting in the helmsman's seat of the wooden boat in amazement, watching behind him, an old yellowed white sail was slowly rising on the mast.

There was an extremely conspicuous emblem on the white sail, shining brightly under the moonlight.

It was a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a capital "H" emblem.

The white sail was completely raised, and the rudder in front of Jon turned by itself!

The long sail deflected, and this huge wooden ship, which seemed to exist only in the Middle Ages, began to move in its predetermined direction.

Beech jumped down from Jon's head excitedly, and its action also brought Jon, who was originally in shock, back to his senses.

He never thought that the original carriage would actually have such a change that was incredible even in the magic world!

Dumbledore told him that the wheels of the carriage can only travel on the land of England, but he never thought about it. Since other lands cannot be used, why can't the sea be used?

The wooden boat sailed through the waves, and the sound of the surrounding waves echoed in Jon's ears.

Beech was running around curiously on the unfamiliar deck; even if you couldn't see it, you could clearly feel that the Thestrals that were pulling the carriage in front of the carriage were also on the deck, stepping on the creaking wooden boards under their feet.

All of this was telling Jon that he and the others at Hogwarts were starting a new journey!
