Chapter 616： Ready to retreat

Since the top of the holy mountain is now flooded with cursed flames, Mike is actually very aware of the movements of Motore and Harry.

At the same time, he also understands that those terrifying plants that can ignore the burning effect of the curse is spreading across the top of the holy mountain at an alarming speed.

So almost at the same time as Harry left, Mike's wand flicked slightly, turning the curse flames around him into a huge wave that pushed Harry closer to him.

"Mike! We must go to that palace!"

After the meeting, Harry couldn't wait to speak, and Mike, who had known many mutual aid associations, naturally understood Harry's plan.

He didn't delve into how Harry knew there was an empty pool in the palace, and he nodded and directly controlled the flame to send the two to the palace.

At the same time, the golden armored warrior who was still in the deep pit was hysterically tearing at the vines and various plants that were constantly drilling out of the ground, looking like crazy.

But he obviously still has some sense.

Because when he found that Mike and Harry were preparing to escape, he immediately stopped his movements and pursued them.

Mike originally thought that Mottolay was trying to stop them, but he didn't expect that when Mottolay approached, he didn't directly attack, but said loudly:

"Mike Towny! You have to stay and help me! Although your flames can't kill those plants, they can also effectively inhibit their growth! Together, you and I can drive them all back!"

Mottolay's words stunned Mike, but only for a moment.

He wouldn't foolishly listen to a guy who just beat him to death.

"Help me! Mike Tangley! I am willing to withdraw troops and give you compensation for the war, as long as you are willing to stay and help me!" Mottolay's still working hard, but Mike still did not stop, but increased his speed. , Opened the distance with Motore, "Damn it! Do you think you can get out of things as soon as you leave? Don’t dream! You don’t understand what you are releasing! He will The whole world is ruined!"

Motore finally got angry, he casually called the Longinus gun in a deep pit in the distance, and without charging his power, he threw it directly at Mike and Harry.

But Mike had already guarded his hand. Faced with the Longinus gun whose speed did not exceed the speed of sound, Mike easily took Ha to use the Phantom Transfer Curse to hide in the past, and by the way, arrived at the palace gate ahead of time.

Upon seeing this, Mottolay roared and was about to continue pursuing.

But at this moment, a huge vine with a diameter of more than two meters broke out of the rocky ground in front of him and smashed at him.

Mottole's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly turned to hide.

But soon, the second group of vines rose from its feet again, followed by the third group, the fourth group...

He seemed to have some kind of mark on his body, and those vines were just staring at him to attack, which made him never have the opportunity to pursue Mike and Harry again.

At this time, Harry and Mike had already arrived at the gate of the palace. Before entering the palace, Mike looked back at Mottolay, who was entangled in vines, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Afterwards, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

"Huhuhu!~"

A whistling sound rang from the top of the sacred mountain. The flames of curse that originally pervaded the top of the mountain, as if they received some kind of call, rushed towards the palace where Mike was at an astonishing speed, leaving only the cursed ones. The flames burned into bright red magma still flowing slowly on the ground.

And without the suppression of the flame of curse, the growth rate of those weird plants also increased sharply.

In the magma, on the charred rock, in the huge deep pit with faintly remaining space and cracks...

They are like some kind of alien creatures quickly adapting to various harsh environments, and within a short time, large swaths of green have appeared on the summit of the sacred mountain that had been burned by the flames of cursing. .

This scene tore Mottolay's eyes apart, and Mike smiled faintly, turned his head and walked quickly towards the palace.

Naturally, there are those plants in the palace, but under the burning of the concentrated cursing inflammation that McNay specifically controls, the growth of those plants is much slower than outside, which also allows Harry and Mike to get enough time.

The interior space of this palace is large and complicated.

A variety of primitive statues are placed in the entire hall, and a huge painted mural is painted on the semicircular ceiling.

And around the hall, there is an arc-shaped staircase leading to the second floor and the third floor and countless rooms.

The most exaggerated thing is that all the walls of the entire palace are made of obsidian. This extraordinary material with first-class magic resistance makes it impossible for Mike to use magic perception to explore the scenes inside those rooms.

Obviously, it is not easy to find a broken empty pool in such a large space.

But this is not a problem for Mike.

Others may feel pity for this palace that can almost be called art, but Mike will not. He directly controls the flame of curse and swept the entire palace. Those obsidian walls have nothing to do with the flame of curse. The resistance was easily burned through and turned into a molten slurry.

And while Mike was looking for the hole-breaking pool, Harry was caught in a struggle.

He also heard what Motore said just now. For him who knows the horror of Alicia, he knows very well that if Alicia is allowed to act recklessly, then the scene Motoray said is really true. It may happen!

This is something Harry, who cherishes Hogwarts and the wizarding world, cannot accept.

So he almost told Mike the truth just now.

But in the end he held back it again, because he could see that Mike was basically at the end of the battle. If he was asked to fight again at this time, then Mike would most likely die here today.

On one side is the life of my best friend, on the other side is the safety of the whole world.

For a moment, Harry fell into a deep entanglement.

And at this moment, it seemed that he could see Harry's inner thoughts, and the strange laughter of the death cloak suddenly rang in Harry's ears.

His laughter made Harry even more irritable.

If it weren't for the other party to calculate himself, then these current situations would not happen!

Thinking of this, Har used his force to pull the cloak of death on him in revenge.

‘What a prudent guy! "The Cloak of Death yelled in Harry's ear, "Don't worry, your worries are superfluous, the fellow Elysia can't get out of the holy mountain at all. ’

"How did you know!"

Harry retorted instinctively, but because he was afraid of being discovered by Mike, he immediately covered his mouth again.

‘Hahaha! Who do you think St. Uranus is? Would he not consider the situation that Alicia would one day get out of trouble? "Reaper Cloak explained with a smile, "Actually, apart from the chains of vows in the deepest part of the holy mountain, the cage where Alicia is held, there is also the entire holy mountain secret realm! Unlike the general secret realm, the Holy Mountain secret realm and your main world are not on the same plane at all. So as long as you destroy the empty pool when you go out for a while, then Elysia will not escape even if he is capable! ’

After listening to the explanation of the death cloak, the expression on Harry's face finally relaxed a little.

But deep in his heart, he was still a little uneasy.

After all, the previous experience under the sacred mountain had taught Harry a lesson, and also let him know that the death cloak had its own purpose, and he was definitely not someone who could be trusted 100%.

But now Harry chose to believe the other person for the time being. After all, from the heart, Harry didn't want Mike to die.

Thinking about this, Harry closed his mouth and stopped talking.

At this time, Mike finally completed his exploration of the palace and found the broken empty pool hidden on the top floor of the palace.

He didn't speak, and picked up Harry with the help of Cursed Flame to fly into the air and landed directly on his destination.

As soon as they landed, Harry and Mike's eyes were attracted by the scene in front of them.

It was a small man-made garden. Although the flowers and trees in it had already been swallowed by the flames of cursing at this moment, the beauty of the previous place could be seen based on the various strange rocks remaining on the ground and the remaining traces.

In the center of the garden is a stream of clear water.

It was clear water, but Harry and Mike knew that the pond contained absolutely nothing common liquid. After all, the cursed flames around it were not vegetarian, and it hadn't evaporated at this temperature, which was absolutely abnormal.

Presumably, this should be the so-called empty pool.

Mike and Harry looked at each other, joyful expressions on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, Mike hurried forward and threw in the freemason gold coins hanging on his chest.

This is the information Mike obtained from the previously studied white-robed elders. If you want to activate the empty pool, you need the coordinates of the destination. Now Mike’s body is most suitable for use as teleport coordinates. Freemasonry gold coins.

If nothing happens, targeting it can smoothly transport Mike and Harry back to the secret territory of the Freemasonry.

As for why Mike didn't directly use the Freemasonry gold coin with the door key function to leave, it is very simple.

You must know that although the Phantom Shifting Curse can be used on the holy mountain, it is limited to short-distance teleportation.

The space here is dense and stable, and it seems to have been reinforced by some unknown space blockade. Even the Phantom Shift used by Mike cannot be teleported over long distances, let alone the ability to break through the air is better than Phantom Shift. Even worse door keys.

Therefore, Mike estimates that if he wants to leave here, he can only use space teleportation-type mysteries such as empty pools and arbitrary doors.

Of course, what Mike didn’t know was that there was actually no space blockade on the holy mountain. The most fundamental reason why he could not use the door key and remote apparition was that the holy mountain and their previous main world were not in the same place. One plane.

And having said so much, the Freemasonry gold coins thrown into the empty pool finally sank to the bottom of the pool.

Immediately afterwards, a series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the pool accompanied by a strange blue light.

Under the startled gazes of Mike and Harry, the gold Masonic coins made entirely of special alloys slowly began to dissolve.

Mike quickly withdrew his gaze, he knew very well that this was the empty pool analyzing the coordinates.

This will take some time.

And taking advantage of this free time, Mike also turned his head to look at Harry who was aside.

At this time, Harry was still staring at the broken empty pool, the death cloak he was wearing still hadn't regained his invisibility, and it looked a bit tattered.

Mike's expression also became a little complicated.

To be honest, he really had a lot to say to Harry, including questioning why Harry had changed so much and Harry's true purpose.

In the past, he had simulated a confrontation with Harry in his mind, but now when the two officially stood side by side, he didn't know what to say.

Staring for a long time, Mike finally sighed and said solemnly:

"Harry, I'm sorry."

"what?"

Harry turned his head with a puzzled look It seemed that he hadn't heard what Mike had just said, and he seemed to be asking Mike why and apologizing.

"I mean, I'm sorry for what Victor did. When I go back, I will let him apologize to you personally."

This time Harry finally heard it clearly, and his expression changed quickly, finally turning into an angry face.

"Apologize? What's the use of an apology? Will an apology make all the suffering I have suffered during this time disappear? Will an apology make Professor Snape come alive again? Ah?!"

Harry clenched his fists, his voice higher and higher, and finally turned into a deafening roar.

However, Mike was stunned when he heard the words, and then there was a strange look on his face.

He frowned and said:

"Professor Snape... he's not dead."

"Eh?!"

This time it was Harry's turn to be shocked. He saw the boss with his eyes open. After staying there for a long time, he exclaimed:

"Professor Snape is not dead!?"

"Yes, obviously Victor is not so bad that he wants to kill his professor himself." Mike shrugged his shoulders. "When you left, he sent the seriously injured Professor Snape directly to me. He has now recovered after a series of treatments..."

Mike paused at this point, and then he continued after observing Harry's expression:

"It's the previous battle that left him with some sequelae. For example, his right leg is useless. But rest assured, Victor's old line of prosthetic limbs was originally built. He has already equipped Professor Snape with a mechanical prosthetic leg. "

Harry didn't understand Victor's knowledge of mechanical prosthetics. When he heard that it was a mechanical prosthetic leg, he instantly thought of the funny look of Moody's limping when he walked.

After replacing Snape's stern face, Harry laughed out of nowhere.
