Harry's scar seemed to be torn open again, and the real scenery around him disappeared.
He was Lord Voldemort. The skinny old wizard opposite him was looking at him with contempt.
"Kill me, Lord Voldemort. I'm happy to die! But my death will not bring you what you're looking for … There are many things you don't understand … "
Harry could feel Lord Voldemort's anger. His cold, bone-chilling voice echoed in the small cell.
"I've obtained immortality, and I'm about to become immortal."
"No, you're closer to failure, Lord Voldemort. What you've obtained is what we once abandoned," the old man laughed scornfully. The old man laughed scornfully. "You lost yourself in the pursuit of power. You thought you had escaped death, but because of this, you lost an even more precious soul. You thought you had obtained power, but in reality, you are so fragile. You tried to understand the endless darkness, but you lost yourself in the darkness. You made an agreement with the existence in the darkness, and you are destined to be destroyed …"
Lord Voldemort's anger exploded. He reached out his wand at the old man, and a green light filled the cell.
The old man's weak body twisted and struggled in front of Harry, and he could not help but cry out in pain.
Heart Drilling Curse!
The old man's pain seemed to be transmitted to Harry, as if he had also been hit by the Heart Drilling Curse. The pain quickly spread from the scar to the rest of his body.
Harry was awakened by the pain. He opened his eyes, and felt as if the bones in his body were about to be torn apart.
He gasped for breath, and after a long time, he gradually calmed down.
Harry did not understand why Lord Voldemort would torture an unfamiliar old man, and what the old man meant.
At this time, the sky had darkened. Through the broken walls above, Harry saw the night sky.
The night was so deep that it covered everything. Only a few stars were stubbornly shining.
The dim light of the torch swayed in the night wind, as if it could dissipate at any time. With the flickering light, Harry found that the spirits he saw when he woke up were all gone. They seemed to have finally lost interest in him, and no longer hovered around him. He was left alone in the surroundings.
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out.
"Ron, is that you …" Harry mumbled. He felt that his lips were very dry.
It was not Ron. He saw a black bird appear in the night sky and land gently on the stone above his head.
This was a … Raven!
The symbol of Ravenclaw. However, Harry was soon puzzled by this idea. Was the symbol of Ravenclaw a raven?!
He felt like he was in a daze. He had been at Hogwarts for so long, but he still hadn't figured out what the symbol of Ravenclaw Academy was. Although Ravenclaw's flag was always a sky blue eagle on the school's official occasions, in private, most students thought that the symbol of Ravenclaw Academy was a raven.
It was strange. The symbols of the other three academies were always so obvious. A golden-red lion, a silver-green snake, a tan badger …
Only the symbol of Ravenclaw Academy was blurry, and it was easy to confuse people.
In many people's minds, the sky blue eagle that often appeared was always replaced by a mysterious raven.
It was as if there was a strange magic that was constantly affecting them.
It was really strange. Harry could not help but think, why had he never noticed this problem before?!
The eagle or the raven, the blue sky or the dark night sky. Which one was the true domain of Ravenclaw?!
.....
Elwyn tried his best to hold his breath. The air was filled with a rotten smell, as if something was rotting and dying.
He did not like this smell, just like how he did not like this place.
In front of him was an endless wilderness. The difference was that there were no plants or any other signs of life. The ground was a kind of dead black without luster, as if it had been corroded by something. Elwyn opened his hands. The soil that was not sticky slid through the gaps of his fingers, as if it was the life that was fading away.
Just from the scene in front of him, it was hard to imagine that this was once a huge lake full of life.
As the oldest gathering place for wizards, this lake used to be the home of many ancient wizard families, like Hogsmeade or Godric's Valley. Wizards had lived on this land for a long time, including many famous wizards and wizard families. Among them, the Ravenclaw family was the most prominent.
This was once the holy land of magic and life, until that unknown and terrible disaster happened …
Elwyn recalled the information recorded on the map provided by Lucius Malfoy, and the rotten smell in the air became stronger.
He choked and coughed a few times, as if something unpleasant had been inhaled into his body.
The surroundings were getting darker, and the sun had already set. It seemed that night had come earlier than other places in England.
Behind Elwyn, the sunlight was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, swallowed by the night.
Soon, black became the main color of this area.
According to the map provided by Lucius Malfoy, Elwyn was now standing on the edge of the core area of the Land of Death.
If he continued forward, he would enter the former residences of the Ravenclaw family and many other wizard families. Now, the black witch was leading hundreds of dark wizards to excavate there. After learning the exact location of the Land of Death from Lucius, Elwyn did not linger in Malfoy's manor for long. He let the house-elf, Dobby, go back to report, and he appeared here alone. He was here to find the missing Harry and Ron. If possible, it would be best to stop the black witch's actions here.
Because of Harry, Elwyn knew more than Malfoy about certain things, including what the black witch was looking for in the Land of Death. Malfoy had investigated for a long time and only knew that it was related to the Gates of Death, but Elwyn knew that she wanted to find the incantation to open the Gates of Death here.
This time, his opponents were the mysterious and dangerous black witch and the Raven's Claw, but Elwyn was very confident in himself.
After all, he had passed the test left by Lady Ravenclaw and obtained her approval.
But when he came here, he realized that his previous thoughts were a little too optimistic. He knew that the information he had obtained was not particularly helpful in the current situation. Elwyn felt an ominous and dangerous feeling in the darkness. He suddenly hesitated. Perhaps coming here at night was not a wise choice.
Elwyn could feel that ever since he came here, there had been an unfamiliar power calling out to him.
He was not sure what it meant, but it seemed that something was waiting for him. But the thick darkness and death energy made Elwyn instinctively resist it.
