Chapter 49: Pursuit of the Underground Palace (revised, typos have been corrected)

　　 lifted the tapestry behind the children's bookshelf, Allen raised his wand: "Fluorescence flickers."
After throwing the stick-tip light ball into the tunnel, nothing was noticed. After waiting for an extra period of time, Alan cast a hallucination spell included in the wizard robe, and then lifted the tapestry behind the children’s bookshelf. , Hunched into the tunnel.
　　 The four walls of this passage are painted with patterns everywhere, and they are still bright and bright despite the tempering of time.
　　The ground is also specially equipped with colorful tile puzzles, a zigzag line about 2 feet wide and composed of red tiles extends down the passage. Some fragments and cracks at the end of the corridor show the traces of the stone surface of the corridor covered with plaster, and the surface of the mural can be seen to have traces of smoothing.
Allen looked at the mural roughly and found that it was a scene where the wizard was performing alchemy. However, the amount of red liquid in the cauldron in the painting made the mural a bit weird and unclear. But now Allen has no time to study, just more Lowering his steps and holding his wand in his hand, he was ready to attack at any time. He picked up the stairs along the tunnel and walked intermittently through several gentle passages.
　　 didn't walk for a long time, when he topped the cellar door at the top, and was hit by the cold wind coming in, a sharp Allen saw the light.
This is a small debris shed. The afternoon sun shines straight down from the skylight on the roof, and it hits the spot where Allen climbed out. After staying in the dim environment for a while, Allen quickly stretched out his hands to cover his eyes. After a while, Fang adapted to the light.
Open the door and go out. This is a deserted garden. Thick snow piles on the high and low ground. Leaving the garden, the surroundings are desolate and desolate. Farmhouses built of wood, mud and straw are scattered in the wilderness. on.
Allen looked back and found that not far from the farmhouse, there was a manor surrounded by high walls. Here, you can see a few pieces of snow on the roof of the castle in the manor, gathering scattered sunlight. Shining brightly, behind the manor, some towering peaks plunge into the clouds, looking from a distance, like a reef in the sea.
Allen judged the time, and guessed that according to Emily’s habit, he would wake up in a while. He returned quickly, passing by the bathroom, and heard the noise inside. He knew that Aunt Josephine was taking a bath. A rough plan.
　　 restored the tapestry to its original state and returned to the bedroom door. The little girl in red and raising toads appeared in the portrait on the door again. She glanced at Alan quickly and disappeared instantly.
　　Allen pushed the door in. Fortunately, his sister was still asleep. Allen tiptoed over and gently climbed onto the bed. The sister tucked the quilt and lay down, closing her eyes to calm down.
　　 Afterwards, Alan played with Emily in front of her aunt sensibly for an afternoon, and then she cleverly chatted with Aunt Josephine and asked about some interesting things about the other party in the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, after sleeping Emily again, Alan imposed a "sleeping curse" on the little girl. According to the "Encyclopedia of Curse", this was invented by a wizard who suffered from insomnia and hair loss. Curse—Although it was different from his guess that his hair loss was caused by insomnia, at least he solved half of his troubles.
Kissed on the forehead of Emily who was sleeping, Alan turned and left, waiting in front of the bathroom for her aunt's arrival-of course not for peeping, but because he was going to steal her wand while she was bathing , Usually there are adult wizards around or at home. The Ministry of Magic can allow the little wizards to hide in the quilt of their room like Harry and cast fluorescent flashes or let Hermione practice before enrolling at home to recover as long as they don’t. It's not a problem to be seen by Muggles. But this time, the location obviously does not have this condition, and there is a high probability that an attack spell will be used. Fortunately, Alan is not as picky about the wand as some wizards.
After getting his aunt’s wand, in the farmhouse, Allen used the aura of Xueba to predict the position of Albert. This kind of magic surpassed Allen’s current ability and should only be used when he was in a higher grade. Detection technique-If you are more familiar with the detected object and know more information, the effect will be better. According to the principle, it should be matched with some polished silver mirrors and potions or a kind of smoke that can show the image Tools like hookah are used together, but now they don’t have this condition, so Allen had to spend more time and continue to focus on casting to complete and obtain enough information. Fortunately, the target is his own brother who is familiar enough, but even With the bonus of Xueba's halo, in the end it only determined the approximate location of Big Brother Albert.
To Allen’s surprise, the system seemed to have released a sudden mission to search for moon gems without warning after Ellen completed the divination. This made Allen feel how often the system was in a trance when posting tasks. Reliable, now I don’t even explain the reward...
　　 But there is no time to think about it, Allen walked out of the farmhouse again, he called out the flying broom Neptune from the storage space, turned over and rode it, and drove far away at the fastest speed.
　　 There were originally some moonlit sky slowly getting darker, and the rain in the air became heavier and heavier.
　　 Finally, there was a pouring rain from the sky, accompanied by a roar of huge thunder across the ground. The moon was completely hidden behind the thick thunderclouds, and a freezing wind blew from the north. The light of lightning passed through the clouds, and sometimes hit the ground with a roar. Some of the falling raindrops were frozen by the winter weather into snowflakes mixed with heavy raindrops.
　　 The cold sleet in winter blows wildly on Allen's side. Fortunately, Allen's physique is far better than that of ordinary people of the same age. His robe also has a constant temperature function, otherwise he can insist on flying for long.
Through occasional lightning, the farmhouse on the ground seemed to be squashed and spread out again. Allen galloped at an incredible speed. In the dim night, he moved from the village to the wilderness, close to the destination, in front, far away. There appeared a huge towering stone mountain, whose outline was reflected on the empty horizon by the occasional passing lightning.
After getting close enough to Allen, I found out that a clever Muggle expulsion curse had been cast here. After flying around the stone mountain, I probably had a complete impression of it in my mind. Then Allen’s feet stepped on the ground. I found that the touch from the soles of my feet actually felt like stepping on cotton.
This stone mountain is essentially a stone tower dug out of the original natural structure. It looks like a huge rock protruding from the ground. The sense of disharmony caused by the surrounding wilderness makes the stone tower look like it is in a merciless place. Look down at the earth. A few narrow ledges could hardly provide protection, but when Allen was getting closer and closer, he discovered an arched entrance about 20 feet high and 10 feet wide deep into the belly of the mountain from the thick rock.
　　 The ground outside the entrance slopes outward, guiding the rainwater to flow out. Considering this fact and the solid nature of the mountain, the place inside the doorway should be dry and safe to avoid lightning, rain and snow. This structure looks very strong
　　In fact, even in such harsh weather conditions, the possibility of collapse is extremely small.
He noticed that Alan, who was unguarded, approached the entrance, cast a cleanup on himself to clean up the rain and snow on his body, and then activated the phantom spell that comes with the robe, so as to avoid being invisible when he was invisible. The falling rain is exposed.
Allen did not enter at a loss, but searched the entrance more carefully. Unlike many little wizards who were born in an orphanage or Muggle with their parents, those who they like to think are not useful except for magic and sorcery. His knowledge helped him. Through the history of magic and the knowledge of wizarding architecture read in the free books, Allen could determine that the stone part of the doorway and the stone structure nearby are indeed very strong, and found that there is a scattered near the entrance The fragments of the giant cobblestone. The stone seemed to have blocked the gate to prevent it from opening, but now it burst into fragments under the action of the spell. The gate is very heavy, but it is well constant over the common spells used in wizard architecture. It can easily be pushed open by wizards with little strength, and when there is nothing to support, it will swing back and close by itself.
　　 Put the tip of the wand against the door, and put the tail of the wand in his ears to monitor some movement behind the door. After finding that there was no sound coming out for several minutes, Allen pushed open the door a bit and let himself squeeze in.
