Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 788: The Fog

Combined with this chart, Evan ran through the clues he had gathered before, and things became very clear.

The Dark wizards of Raven’s Claw had no way to enter the ruins, but an ancient creature in the nearby undersea city was willing to help them. As long as the Harbinger of Doom released it, summoning it with seven energy stones full of the power of the Cyclops, it could help Raven’s Claw to open the seal of the ruins in the great whirlpool.

Immediately, Evan’s eyes fell on a row of dotted lines surrounding the whirlpool, which was the trajectory of the ghost ship.

Ravenclaw and Gryffindor had said that the ship of the dead was the only way to get into the sunken city.

It circled around Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. The Strait of Messina was a section that it must pass in the course of its voyage.

It could be seen from the marks and information on the chart that it was not so easy to encounter this ghost ship.

It was protected by bizarre magic. Neither Muggles nor wizards could see it under normal circumstances. They could only meet it by chance.

This sea was so large that it was impossible to float aimlessly in search of a ghost ship full of the dead.

The Dark wizards of Raven’s Claw seemed to have found a way. Through hundreds of years of observation, they found that every six months, the ghost ship would be attracted by the singing of Scylla and stay for a short time near a rock called The Rock of the Sirens.

Even though they had been dead for thousands of years, the sailors were still confused by the singing of the Sirens, but they would never die again.

With his hands on the chart, Evan quickly measured the distance. The Rock of Sirens was located in the sea area directly opposite the lighthouse.

Grosso, the keeper of the sirens, said that only when the light of the lighthouse was turned off, would the sirens come out to sing and confuse the passing ships.

This was also the main reason why the Raven’s Claws had extinguished the lighthouse. They wanted to use the singing of the sirens to attract the ghost ship.

Immediately afterwards, Evan thought that since the Harbinger of Doom left the core of the earth and set out to that city, the ghost ship’s stay time might be today!

No wonder there were no Dark wizards of Raven’s Claw in the tower anymore. They had reached their goal, waiting for the ghost ship.

As for others, they might have been sent to the depths of the earth’s core to verify the unexpected situation there after seeing the eruption of the volcano…contemporary romance

Thinking of this, Evan rushed out to the outside of the lighthouse. By the light of the magma erupting from the volcano in the distance, he saw a huge black rock standing on the sea surface, beside which stood a huge sailing boat with green light.

“We must hurry up, Sirius, and go there. Hurry up, APPARITION!”

A few seconds later, Evan and Sirius Apparated, ready to go directly onto the ghost ship.

But they did not arrive on the sailing boat, and in the middle of the way they fell into the icy water.

Strange magical forces had stopped them, preventing the wizards from approaching the ship this way with Apparition!

Evan floated on the water with both hands, and the cold wind blew his hair relentlessly. He couldn’t help shivering.

A thick fog appeared abruptly around him, with strange magical waves, isolating everything.

Unease and anxiety followed, with visibility of less than three feet nearby and a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

The fog had a weird characteristic. Evan felt that the magic in his body was limited, and some of it had lost its effect.

“LumosMaxima!” He shouted, took out his wand and waved it, but there was no reaction.

Immediately afterwards, he changed another spell, and the end of his wand emitted a green light, amazingly powerful.

“This fog …” Evan looked in confusion at the green light disappearing in the fog. It was Dark magic.

Just then, Sirius also emerged from the sea and looked around.

“I was just at the lighthouse and I didn’t see such a thick fog,” he said puzzled, then frowned, and felt the fog’s restriction on magic. “There’s something wrong here, our magic seems to have lost its effect.”

“It’s the magic on that ghost ship. This is a very special magical wave that creates a realm belonging to the dead. It prevents Apparition and other positive or neutral spells, but it promotes Dark magic. We…”

Evan paused, and in the fog, a beautiful and charming singing girl’s voice came intermittently, like the sound of nature, but it was mixed with the repressed barking and gasping voice of dogs, making all this weird and dreamy.

This was the voice of Scylla, the siren. Evan had previously heard it in Ravenclaw’s memory.

“Beware of the sirens. They are very close here. I heard there are hundreds nearby,” said Evan, clenching his wand.

At the thought of that terrifying creature with the upper body of an 18-year-old girl and the lower body of a mermaid’s tail fin and fierce dogs’ heads, he had goosebumps. Although they had been raised for many years, these sirens had no problems eating people.

Mr. Grosso had previously told Evan that the Sirens liked young boys of his age the most, and after catching them, they kept them in their lairs.

“What should we do now, just swim to the side of that big ship?” Sirius said.

“It’s best not to do that, it’s too risky. I just tried it. Apparition does not work, and the Invisibility Cloak can’t be used. In the sea water, we can’t be opponents to those sirens,” said Evan.

Immediately, he looked down at the shining owl pendant on his wrist, Shukrya’s Redemption.

In this mist, shaman magic worked like Dark magic and could be used.

“The power of this pendant …” Evan looked at Sirius, his body changing into a ghostly owl. “I’ll go and see the situation first. You go back to the lighthouse and wait for me. I’ll be back in a moment.”

Evan circled over Sirius and flew deeper into the mist.

Because of the ghost ship, this area belonged to the realm of the dead, and the effect of Dark magic had been enhanced.

The power of the shaman on the pendant was a kind of soul magic, and it had been improved accordingly.

Evan felt he was stronger than he’d been in the Owl Fortress.

He passed quickly forward, and soon he saw a large black rock appearing in front of him.

There were many Sirens on the rock. They seemed very happy, laughing and singing beautifully from time to time. The upper parts of these sirens were all like young girls, all undressed.

Opposite them was the huge sailing ship with a faint green light. The pale-skinned crew members were lying on the side of the ship and silently looking at the sirens below. They were like the most terrible corpses. Their bodies were rotten and covered with wisps of seaweed, revealing their white bones.

It was really a weird scene, the Sirens and the undead sailors who were bewildered by them…

Even though their lives had gone, they still could not stop their lust for beauty.
