144. Greedy Island
Not to mention Elaine, even Dumbledore had no time to react to the sudden change. Although everyone was on alert because the music stopped, no one expected that the seemingly solid iron bars and ground of the cell would disappear, and they were beaten. Caught off guard.
Elaine could only feel that she was falling continuously. After being far away from the patron saint, she couldn't see the situation around her clearly, but she couldn't fall to death like this. Fortunately, she was a wizard now and had a way to save herself.
"Wingardim Leviosa glows"
After entering Azkaban, Elaine, like everyone else, kept her wand in her hand.
First use the floating spell to slow down the falling speed, and then use the lighting spell to see the surrounding situation clearly.
However, the levitating spell cannot make wizards fly - as far as we know, the only wizard who can fly without relying on external objects is Voldemort - the levitating spell can only make you stop directly in the air. After the magic power is exhausted or the spell is cancelled, you still have to continue. Free fall.
Normally, one should seize the right opportunity to use the floating spell before touching the ground, but now the ground can't be seen at all. Fortunately, the most important thing Elaine lacks is magic power. She just needs to keep repeating falling -> floating -> lighting -> falling. -> The floating loop can land safely.
It's just not good for the heart.
The feeling of falling at a high speed, where the whole body is completely empty, with no focus at all, and constantly being pulled by gravity, is really not suitable for normal people to experience, especially when there are many dementors following around.
Fortunately, these dementors did not take the opportunity to attack her, but this was also very strange. It was obvious that she was not protected by a guardian angel, and she had no idea what they were thinking.
Elaine wanted to get out of this predicament, but there were no objects around, only endless darkness and emptiness.
Ordinary magic is useless, you have to use music magic
But if you don’t understand the current situation at all, it’s better not to act rashly.
If it was an ordinary fall, she would have hit the bottom long ago. Azkaban Prison is only three stories high. This endless fall is not normal at all.
Why did it become like this?
Someone wants to help the prisoner escape
It is impossible for ordinary people to make the iron bars disappear. The prisoner must be a wizard.
However, the wizards present were all members of the Wizengamot, and there was no reason to take action; the prisoners were even less likely, as their magic power had long since dried up due to their poor mental state, and they had no wands.
No, the jailbreak has nothing to do with her. This is for her.
After stopping for almost five minutes, Elaine finally stepped on the ground.
But this place didn't look like a good place. She seemed to have fallen deep underground. This dark place was cold and wet. Within the visible range of the lighting technique, there were bones and corpses everywhere, both human and inhuman.
Elaine no longer wanted to count the number of dementors, but they were everywhere they could be seen.
They were wandering around, as if they were looking for something. They didn't attack her for some reason at the moment, but this was only temporary. They would soon notice her and swarm her.
"This is the deepest part of Azkaban."
"Adair"
Elaine was startled by the male voice that appeared out of thin air. It turned out to be the voice coming from a mobile phone.
She should have thrown this thing away long ago
"What the hell are you doing, you bastard──"
"No, why did I do this? It's this island. They seem to have noticed something abnormal in your soul."
"What did you say"
"Dementors have no eyes, and so does this island. They can only detect whether there are people around them by sensing the emotions of their victims." Adair's calm tone came from the mobile phone. "Have you ever thought about why you attract dementors?"
"Chatting also depends on the occasion." Elaine replied impatiently, "You're doing your old habit again, just focus on the key points."
"Okay, to put it simply, these monsters think that you are surrounded by thousands of people because of the magic of the live broadcast room, so they are so excited that they try their best to keep you here."
"Fuck," Elaine cursed, and she could only use expletives to deal with this situation. "Are they crazy?"
"You think they have intelligence and brains on this island, and the only purpose of these monsters to survive is to devour more lives. Even Dumbledore's threats are useless. Ten people are not worth falling out with the Ministry of Magic, but a hundred thousand people It's definitely worth it. As for the consequences, who cares?" Adair said leisurely, "In short, they plan to trap you alive here and absorb the endless despair and fear in you."
"You had expected this to happen."
"I just rely on the perception of music magic to detect abnormal movements a few seconds in advance." Adair replied. "But I didn't expect that the control of this island is so strong that it can even separate you from Dumbledore."
"what about now"
"It's very simple, beat them until they cry. These idiots with no IQ will swallow you directly, just in time for me to make a big fuss here. Give me the ownership of your body, and I will destroy this island."
"There are others on the island," Elaine said helplessly, holding her forehead. "Didn't you say before that using magic in front of the Wizengamot might make them aware of your existence?"
"No way, it's more important to escape now, and this matter is beyond your ability - anyway, it is a positioning magic or short-term possession, there is always a way to fool it. Dumbledore should also help and cooperate, and he really noticed it. So what, what they can say to me is because I was negligent, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”
"You can't let me do it," Elaine said after hesitating. "If it's just to make a big fuss, using music magic, I can──"
"What can you do?" Adair sneered. "Now it is because of the power of my soul that you are immune to the influence of these dementors. If I stop, they will immediately surround you and suck your soul away, unless you use the Patronus Charm, but can you?"
"Call for God's Guard"
Ignoring Adair, Elaine directly used the Patronus Charm.
But just like the previous failed attempts, nothing happened, not even the silver thread was summoned.
"It's no use," Adair said. "What you said before is correct, because your soul and I are connected together and are affected by my soul. It will be difficult for you to summon the patron saint unless I take the initiative to restrain my power, or you learn how to block the soul── Of course the environment here also has an impact.”
"You are really frank." Elaine snorted. "I thought you would say that I was too weak to scream."
"Half and half, if you are strong enough, the influence of my soul will be nothing at all. Harry Potter, who was possessed by Voldemort's soul, still called out his Patronus. His mental age is still younger than yours... ...Okay, give your body to me now.”
"No." Elaine said stubbornly, "I can do it, let me do it."
