Combined with the map, Elwyn connected the clues he had obtained before, and things became very clear.
The dark wizards of Raven's Claw could not enter the ruins, but an ancient creature in the nearby Undersea City was willing to help them. As long as the Disaster Messenger released it and summoned it with seven energy stones filled with the power of a cyclops, it could help Raven's Claw and open the seal of the ruins in the Great Whirlpool.
Then, Elwyn's eyes fell on a row of dotted lines around the bottom of the Great Whirlpool, which was the route of the Specter.
Ravenclaw and Gryffindor had said that the Ship of the Dead was the only way to enter the Sunken City.
It circled around Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea, and the Strait of Messina was a part of its voyage that it had to pass.
From the marks and information on the map, it could be seen that it was not easy to encounter the Specter.
It was protected by a strange magic, and neither Muggle nor wizards could see it under normal circumstances. They could only encounter it by chance.
The sea was very large, and it was impossible to wander aimlessly on it, looking for a Specter full of the dead.
The dark wizards of Raven's Claw seemed to have found a way. After hundreds of years of observation, they found that every six months, the Specter would be attracted by the song of the siren Skylar and stop near a reef called the Rock of the Siren.
Even though it had been dead for thousands of years, the sailors were still attracted by the siren's song, but they would never die again.
Elwyn drew on the map with his hand and quickly calculated the distance. The Rock of the Siren was in the sea directly opposite the lighthouse.
Gerosso, the keeper of the siren, said that only when the light of the lighthouse was extinguished would the sirens come out and sing to confuse the passing ships.
This was the main reason why Raven's Claw extinguished the lighthouse. They wanted to use the siren's song to attract the Specter.
Then, Elwyn realized that since the Disaster Messenger had left the core and set off for the city, the Specter might stop today!
No wonder there were no dark wizards of Raven's Claw in the tower. They had achieved their goal and waited until the Specter.
As for the others, they might have been sent to the depths of the core to verify the unexpected situation after seeing the volcano erupt …
Thinking of this, Elwyn hurriedly rushed out to the outside of the lighthouse. With the light from the magma erupting from the distant volcano, it saw a huge black rock standing on the surface of the sea. Beside the rock was a huge sailboat that was glowing in green light.
"We must hurry, Sirius, to that place. Hurry up, Phantom Manifestation! "
A few seconds later, Elwyn and Sirius appeared, ready to appear directly on the Specter Ship.
However, they did not reach the ship. Halfway there, they were revealed and fell into the bone-chilling sea.
A strange magical force was preventing them from approaching the ship with their phantasmagoric forms!
Elwyn's hands floated on the surface of the water. The biting cold wind blew his hair mercilessly, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He was surrounded by a thick fog. The fog appeared abruptly, with strange magical fluctuations, isolating him from everything.
What followed was uneasiness and anxiety. The visibility in the vicinity was less than three feet, and everywhere was white.
The fog had a strange characteristic. Elwyn felt that the magic in his body was limited, and some of the magic in his body had lost its effect.
"Fluorescent Flicker!" he shouted, waving his wand, but there was no response.
Then, he changed the spell, and the end of the wand emitted a green light, which was very powerful.
"This fog …" Elwyn looked at the green light that disappeared into the fog, puzzled. It was a black magic.
At this time, Sirius also emerged from the sea and looked around.
"I was on the lighthouse just now, but I didn't see such a thick fog," he said doubtfully. Then, he frowned, feeling the restriction of magic in the fog. "Something is not right. Our magic seems to have lost its effect."
"It's the magic on the ghost ship. This is a very special magical fluctuation, which creates a territory that belongs to the dead. It prevents phantoms and other positive or neutral spells, but it has an effect on black magic. We …"
Elwyn stopped. In the fog, there was a beautiful and moving voice of a girl intermittently, like the sound of nature, but it was mixed with the suppressed barking of a puppy and the sound of breathing, making everything seem strange and dreamy.
This was the voice of the siren, Skylar. Elwyn had heard it in Ravenclaw's memory before.
"Be careful of those sirens. This place is very close to them. I heard there are hundreds of them nearby," Elwyn said, holding his wand tightly.
His scalp went numb at the thought of the terrible creature with the upper body of a seventeen-year-old human girl and the lower body of a mermaid and the head of a ferocious dog. Even though he had raised them for many years, these sirens never hesitated to eat humans.
Mr. Grosso had told Elwyn that the sirens liked boys his age best and would catch them and raise them in their nests.
"What should we do now? Swim to the big ship?" Sirius asked.
"We'd better not. It's too risky. I tried it just now. The Illusion Curse doesn't work, and the Invisibility Cloak doesn't work either. In the sea, the two of us are no match for those sirens," Elwyn said.
Then, he looked down at the owl pendant on his wrist, Shuklia's Redemption, which was glowing.
In this fog, the shaman's magic could be used as well as black magic.
"The power of this pendant …" Elwyn looked at Sirius, his body constantly changing into a ghostly owl. "I'll go check out the situation first. You go back to the lighthouse and wait for me. I'll be back in a while."
Elwyn circled above Sirius and flew deeper into the fog.
Because of the ghost ship, this area belonged to the territory of the dead, and the effect of black magic was enhanced.
The shaman's power on the pendant was a type of soul magic, and it was enhanced accordingly.
Compared to before in the Owl's Fortress, Elwyn felt that his current owl form was stronger.
He quickly moved forward, and soon, he saw a large black reef in front of him.
There were many sirens on the reef. They seemed to be very happy, laughing and singing beautiful songs from time to time.
These sirens had the upper bodies of young girls and were not wearing any clothes.
In front of them was the huge ship that glowed with a faint green light. The pale skinned crew members were lying on the side of the ship, quietly looking down at the sirens. They were like the most terrifying Yin Corpses. Their bodies were rotten and wrapped in seaweed, revealing their white bones.
This was a really strange scene. The coquettish sirens and the undead sailors who were bewitched by them …
