Chapter 295 293 Book Hidden in Ice

Chapter 295 293. The book hidden in the ice

The spell representing deathly silence exploded on Nick's frightened face, but Nick was still Nick, and even the expression on his face did not change.

When Jon realized that he couldn't escape the death curse, he was even ready to die. As a result, the spell accidentally fell on Nick who was petrified!

Sure enough, good people are rewarded!

In his heart, he was glad that he had just rejected Gabrielle's intention of scribbling on Nick's face, and in order to protect him, he moved him to a position in front of him, and without saying a word, he started to turn around and fight back!

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

He did not respond with the Death Curse, not because Jon was soft-hearted, but because he clearly understood that when there were three people on the other side, even if his Death Curse could accurately kill one of them, the other two would be killed. Find an opening and fight back in kind.

Therefore, large-scale casting of spells such as the Explosive Curse is undoubtedly the best choice.

"boom!"

The Death Eaters who originally saw that one of the killing curses had hit Jon were almost defenseless when he not only survived but was actually able to fight back.

The magic power affected reality, and the strong explosion effect caused it to explode the iron armor spell on the three people in an instant.

After studying dark magic with Grindelwald for two months, the power of dark magic that Jon now uses can be said to be completely different from what it used to be.

Before this, his blasting spell could only destroy the Death Eaters' armored spells, and it no longer had any offensive power. But now, it directly blasted away the three Death Eaters with undiminished power. !

Jon was not confused by the temporary results he had achieved. After blowing up the three Death Eaters, he just casually shot another Shen Feng Wu Ying, then took Gabrielle with him, and used the good weapon at the same time. Nick used his back as a shield and began to quickly escape from the area.

The three Death Eaters just now clearly used the Disillusionment Curse to crouch here. Jon still doesn't know how they learned about his route, and it's not clear that besides these three Death Eaters, Jon still doesn't know. Besides, do they have more helpers on the way?

The space inside the maze is no better than outside. The space here is small. As long as more than five people surround Jon, he will basically not be able to escape all the spells fired at him. Just now, when he was attacked by a sneak attack, three life-killing curses were enough. One shot hitting him is the best proof.

The limited space prevented Jon from taking advantage of his speed and flight, so he could only retreat as soon as possible and wait to see the specific situation after getting rid of these three people.

Jon evacuated in time. The small space limited his abilities and maximized the benefits of his blasting spell. The three Death Eaters were all blown to pieces, and the one who faced Jon even Two fingers were blown off!

After they awkwardly evaded the Shenfengwuying that Jon used to cover, Jon was no longer in front of them.

The Death Eater whose fingers were blown off was obviously the leader of the three-person team. His face showed a distorted expression caused by pain, and his body trembled as he picked up the two broken fingers from the ground.

"How long has it been since I sent the letter to Lord Lestrange?"

His face was full of ferocity, and the wand was pinned to his waist. The two men hurriedly took out the potion and poured it on his severed finger, which was still bleeding and shaking violently.

"It's less than half an hour. Captain, the letter we sent when the arrangement we left on that road was triggered. According to the scope of this maze, if Lord Lestrange is far away from us, then they It takes at least three days to receive the letter and rush over.”

"Three days? Three days is enough for them to collect our bodies!"

The captain with the broken finger didn't know whether he was venting for the severe pain that kept coming from his hand, or whether he was simply expressing his dissatisfaction and cursing.

"This damn maze! Why can't you apparate? Even if everyone is equipped with magic brooms, it's impossible to provide immediate support in such a short time! Where is the paper plane you used to seek nearby support? Have you released it yet! Tell the others We found him at this location! Let those idiots start to surround this place immediately!”

Another Death Eater said in a panic when he asked.

"I released the paper airplane as soon as you told me, Captain, but the closest team to us seems a bit far away."

Just before he finished speaking, a burst of soft footsteps came from behind them from far to near. The three Death Eaters immediately maintained the highest alert, even the one with severed fingers The captain also endured the severe pain and held the wand tightly with his left hand.

Soon, a fluttering paper airplane appeared in their sight.

After looking at the paper plane, the three Death Eaters immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone looked with ugly expressions as they followed the paper plane to find the other three Death Eaters they had just seen.

"Where are the people!"

"Already ran away."

"Why couldn't you keep him?"

"When will you, with your men, intercept him and leave him behind, then ask me this question again!"

The communication between the two teams was not harmonious, but they had not forgotten their responsibilities in this maze. Except for the captain who had lost his finger, the other five people chased Jon in the direction of escape. .

Jon has great limitations on his abilities in the maze, and the same is true for the Death Eaters.

All areas of this maze are covered by anti-apparition magic. Their total number is less than 100, and it is already the limit to split into a team of three. According to the British Ministry of Magic's assessment of Jon's specific strength that they have discovered, if there are less than three people, not only will there be no possibility of killing or capturing him, but there is also a great probability that he will kill him.

This is also why one of the three Death Eaters had his fingers blown off and lost his ability to cast spells for a short period of time, and the other two did not rashly chase him. If they really caught up, it is not certain whether they can keep the person, but there is a great possibility that they will get themselves involved.

Just when they started chasing, Jon had turned three forks and returned to the original normal road according to the map he got from the laboratory.

After confirming that there were no Death Eaters catching up, Jon took out his invisibility cloak and prepared to wear the invisibility cloak for the rest of the journey.

The killing curse that hit Nick really scared him. If he hadn't moved the petrified Nick in front of him in advance, Jon would have no chance of surviving under the killing curse.

Even after putting on the invisibility cloak, their speed of advancement would be greatly slowed down, and it would be inconvenient to move. Jon still chose to be cautious.

Sure enough, his judgment was correct.

After coming out of the secret corridor, he had entered a patrol network of Death Eaters. Not long after he put on the invisibility cloak and continued to move forward, he met another team of Death Eaters.

It was still a team of three people, but these three did not find Jon. Instead, Jon noticed their footsteps in advance and hid in a corner near the ice wall with Gabrielle, and did not meet them.

Watching this team of Death Eaters leave, Jon at least confirmed one thing.

These people could not accurately know his movements. The three Death Eaters who had ambushed in a fixed position in advance were very likely to have heard the conversation between him and Gabrielle, so they were prepared.

It also basically confirmed that these Death Eaters in the maze could not use Apparition casually.

Otherwise, in the situation at that time, as long as they sent one person to call for reinforcements, the remaining two people would try to hold Jon back, which would definitely bring him more trouble.

As a result, they just ambushed in advance. This is either because these three people wanted to take credit and thought that they could solve Jon and take all the credit, or they were not so fast in seeking support.

Jon felt that the possibility of greed for credit was more reliable than the explanation that there was no way to Apparition.

After all, although there are many crazy lunatics among these Death Eaters, lunatics are not equal to fools. It is unlikely that a normal person would still think about greed for credit at this time.

This speculation also made Jon breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. If the Death Eaters could still use Apparition to provide support anytime and anywhere in the maze, it would undoubtedly cause great pressure on Jon.

It means that as long as he shows his head slightly, he will be surrounded by dozens of people.

If they didn't care about the consequences of casualties, then this maze would definitely become Jon's burial place.

And now, since they couldn't use the Apparition, it was the best news. It meant that Jon had more opportunities. Even if he encountered any accidents and the Death Eaters, he would not have no room for pulling.

Then they continued to move forward carefully towards the set goal. During this period, they encountered three waves of Death Eaters, all of which made them cautiously avoid them and were not discovered.

Just when Jon looked at the time on the pocket watch, they set out from the secret corridor and walked all the way for seven or eight hours before arriving at the first point marked on the map.

This was an ice surface that looked no different from other places. Jon groped for a while and didn't find any abnormalities. He also tried to use the universal spell to remove it, but there was no gain.

It wasn't until Gabrielle passed through the ice wall and entered the inner ice layer that she made a discovery.

"This is empty, Jon!"

Gabrielle lowered her excited voice and said excitedly.

Jon was also shocked.

"Did you see what was inside?"

"A book, a book as big as a notebook."

Gabrielle's description disappointed Jon a little. He thought he would find the gem left by Adrian here, but it was better to have something than nothing.

Although Gabrielle could get through the ice and get the book, she had no way to bring it out.

Fortunately, according to her description, the ice where the things were hidden was not very thick. Jon estimated and used a crushing spell on the ice.

The sound of the spell was not small, so after he successfully broke the ice and took out the book that Gabrielle saw, he immediately used a repairing spell on the broken part.

Then he did not check the book immediately, but took Gabrielle to put on the invisibility cloak again and moved to another place immediately.

Less than a minute after they left, a team of Death Eaters hurried to the place where Jon and his friends had been before.

But after a careful inspection of the surroundings, no one was found. But he didn't just let it go, instead he used a magic paper airplane to report his discovery.

The speed of paper airplanes transmitting information is only average, not even as fast as an owl sending a letter.

But in the cold Arctic, there are no owls that can work in this place, so the Death Eaters can only use this inefficient method.

As for Jon, after he came to a relatively safe place, he hid under the invisibility cloak with Gabrielle and opened the book with a very old cover.

However, to his disappointment, the content recorded in this book was not written in English, but looked a bit like German. Anyway, Jon basically couldn't understand it.

But after all, this was what Adrian left on the map. Even if he couldn't understand it for the time being, Jon couldn't just throw it away.

After putting the book in his pocket properly, he began to study the next target point on the map.

There were only three points marked by Adrian on the map, two of which were marked with red ink, and the other was black.

The black mark was the corridor where Jon and his team found this map. Among the red points, one had already found this book, and now only the last point was left.

This point can basically be determined as the location of the gem made by Adrian in the Arctic.

Jon didn't feel that he had come to such a place with great effort just to find the raw materials for making gems, but he found the things and made them but couldn't take them away without leaving any marks.

At the same time, this also indirectly reflects the importance of the book he got. Being specially marked by Adrian like a gem means that the status of this thing in his heart is equal to that of the gem.

Then, Jon didn't stop. The last point was far away from where they were now, basically about twice the distance from when he entered the maze.

They still had to move in the invisibility cloak, and only Gabrielle was left. Jon was worried about letting her explore the way ahead alone, so their progress was undoubtedly slowed down a lot.

But except for a fight between Death Eaters not long after coming out of the corridor, they were safe in the rest of the journey. Even if they encountered a Death Eater team, they were successfully avoided.

It was not until two and a half days later that they finally arrived less than a mile away from the marked point on the map.
