Chapter 1332 Underworld

Under the cloak of invisibility, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron headed deep into Knockturn Alley. Reading at midnight

Although Malfoy has disappeared, there is only one road in this place, and it is easy to get lost.

They carefully observed the black magic shops on both sides of the alley, looking for Malfoy's figure. Most of these shops looked terrible, decorated in dark tones, and displayed in the windows were things that would make people feel bad or bad at a glance. Scary stuff.

They didn't walk fast, and they didn't see anyone. The whole Knockturn Alley was as silent as death.

Occasionally, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind a window, proving that someone was looking out into the street.

These figures did not ease the horror atmosphere, but intensified the tension, because they all looked like ghosts.

"Let's go back, this place makes me feel bad," said Ron hesitantly, looking nervous.

"No, we have to find out what Malfoy is doing here," Harry insisted.

"He may have entered a shop, we missed him." Hermione said uncertainly, "What's in the depths of Knockturn Alley?"

"Meow!" Ivan called out in a low voice, which was regarded as an answer.

Yeah, what's in the depths of Knockturn Alley?

This is really an interesting topic.

In the depths of Knockturn Alley, behind the dark and messy alley, there is a mysterious underground world hidden.

It's the dark side of Britain's wizarding world, the fringe of society, populated by evil dark wizards, werewolves, vampires and other creatures that are out of mainstream society, and species that take refuge there like house-elves who have lost their masters And other thieves, crooks, etc. who go there with various purposes.

Chaos and darkness are synonymous with this area. The laws and rules formulated by the Ministry of Magic, like the sun, will never shine here.

Therefore, the underground world is also known as the dark area.

Its origin is unknown, no one knows, and even whether such a place exists has been debated.

The official statement of the Ministry of Magic is that those vicious dark wizards dug a few holes in the depths of Knockturn Alley in order to escape the pursuit of the Aurors and the sanctions of the law. That's all, there is no underground world at all.

Moreover, this happened a long time ago. Even if these black wizards had not been arrested, it is impossible for them to be alive now.

Under the propaganda of the Ministry of Magic, most law-abiding wizards also believe that such a place does not exist.

Mrs. Weasley specifically told them about this matter. She thought that the underground world was a fabricated product, a ridiculous conspiracy theory, just like some people always said that the former Minister of Magic, Fudge, liked to eat goblins. It is completely nonsensical talk.

It was the goblin gold that Fudge liked, and he didn't really want to eat them.

But in fact, only those wizards who have really had contact with black magic know that this underground world really exists.

The first time Ivan heard about this place was from Sirius.

After his escape from Azkaban, he hid for a while in a crypt, part of the Underworld.

More precisely, a tiny fraction.

The so-called underground world is composed of countless crypts connected under the ground of Knockturn Alley. Some of these crypts are naturally formed, and some are excavated by humans. The creatures living in them are also different, ranging from human wizards to terrifying magical animals. .

The number of caves is huge, and the occupied area far exceeds Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley on the ground.

No one can visit all the caves, and no one can claim to really know this place.

In short, it's a scary place, full of all kinds of unexpected dangers. Sirius once warned Ivan and Harry not to sneak into Knockturn Alley to take risks. I heard that in the underground world, there are still many cannibal monsters who specialize in catching children...

This warning is somewhat ridiculous, but don't doubt that there are real guys who eat children's hearts and livers in Knockturn Alley.

Old hags who stalk and mutter in the shadows, dark wizards twisted by dark magic, or banshees known for their cruelty may all have such a penchant for the bodies of lovely boys. soft spot...

The second time Aiwen heard someone mention the underground world was from Lupine.

After the war started, Dumbledore hoped that Lupine could return to the werewolves, scout for information, and win over other werewolves.

Therefore, Lupine gave up his job as editor-in-chief of the newspaper and entered the underground world, taking on this responsibility that made him feel disgusted and painful.

From him, Aiwen knew that the strongest force in the underground world is the werewolves.

They occupy most of the caves in the middle and upper layers of the underground world as their main activity areas and territories.

Originally, werewolves belonged to a small group, not many in number, and their power in the underground world was not the strongest.

At least, that was the case decades ago.

They stay away from wizards, get food by stealing and killing, and are often discriminated against and persecuted.

This situation changed completely after the appearance of the werewolf king Fenrir Greyback.

As the cruelest werewolf, Greyback made it his life goal to bite and infect as many people as possible.

He wants to create enough werewolves to conquer wizards, so he specifically bites children.

He believed that by biting them when they were young, they would grow up far away from their parents, grow up with hatred for normal wizards, and become members of the werewolf legion. The plan finally worked.

Now, the werewolves have succumbed to Greyback's brutal rule and have made the Underworld their domain.

They are active there, continuing to do evil.

Ironically, most werewolves were infected by Greyback's persecution.

They should hate him, but none of the werewolves resisted. On the contrary, they hated normal wizards and people who abandoned them.

They obeyed Greyback's order, spreading the terrible werewolf virus and the engraved hatred everywhere.

I don't know if it was influenced by Greyback. His werewolves like to bite children, especially those boys with strong physique, because the infected boys will become one of them when they grow up. Become a strong werewolf...

So, Knockturn Alley is really unfriendly to boys!

The third time Ivan heard someone mention the underground world was from Voldemort's daughter Delphi.

In the future he went to, Delphi wanted to infiltrate the minister's office at the Ministry of Magic, and she needed Polyjuice Potion.

Regular shops do not sell this kind of potion, but as long as you have money, you can get anything in the underground world.

She led Ivan and the fifteen-year-old Riddle to the underground world, and that was the closest Ivan was to that place. rw
