Chapter 277 The Mist World
Bruce was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Of course he knew what Fred was doing. They had just been eavesdropping blatantly and making such a big noise downstairs.
If he still can't find out what's going on, Bruce's ears are useless.
Moreover, these guys obviously only eavesdropped on the second half.
They didn't listen to the most crucial content in the first half at all.
"Fred, stop it!"
Bruce pushed Fred away from him, "Now is not the time to joke around. Mr. Gryffindor wants to see me about something!"
On the other hand, Gryffindor also expressed his apologies to Mrs. Weasley.
From the beginning, Mrs. Weasley had turned the house upside down in order to entertain Gryffindor, and used all the ingredients she could find, just to show off her cooking skills and let Gryffindor feel the Weasley family's hospitality.
Mr. Weasley not only had no objection to this, but he actively participated in it and even took out his collection of Muggle wine.
But at this juncture, Gryffindor said he would not stay for dinner.
"It's like this, I was asked to take Bruce out for something."
Gryffindor said regretfully, "I can only come back next time to experience your craftsmanship."
"Ah, that's it..."
Molly's disappointment was beyond words, but Gryffindor was an important person after all, and she couldn't force him to stay for dinner just to show her enthusiasm. What if it delayed important things?
"Well, although you can't stay at our house for dinner, you can at least take some local specialties with you!"
In an instant, Mrs. Weasley, as if by magic, produced huge bunches of sausages and jars of pickles.
Molly made all of this herself, it's clean and hygienic.
"You don't have to stay for dinner, but you must accept these things!"
Mrs. Weasley insisted, "You have helped our family a lot. We will definitely come to thank you in the future!"
If Gryffindor hadn't come in such a hurry this time, Molly wouldn't have been so flustered.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Gryffindor could only accept it with a wry smile.
I have to say that the founder of Hogwarts really has no airs at all, and he doesn't feel at all that Mrs. Weasley is humiliating him by taking out these things.
He simply took the bunch of sausages and hung it around his neck. It was rare for someone like him to be so casual about details.
Then he reached over and took two jars of pickles, one too big to hold, and looked directly back at Bruce.
"Bruce, please hold this jar for me." Gryffindor said, holding two jars of pickles.
The other party was so casual that Bruce had nothing to hold on to. It was just that the remaining jar was really big, and Bruce held it as if he was holding a small vat.
Gryffindor is saying goodbye to everyone.
"Then I will take Bruce away. Don't worry, I will definitely bring him back safely in a day at most, and not a single hair of yours will be lost!"
No one was worried about Bruce's safety, after all, he was with Gryffindor.
Today's young wizards all have their own aspirations, and they all want to become the heir of Gryffindor. There is nothing to be embarrassed about competing fairly.
As the only examiner, it is a good thing for Bruce to go out for a while.
They can think carefully about how to seize this important opportunity.
……
After saying goodbye to the Weasleys, Gryffindor took Bruce on his journey.
At his level, Apparating with others no longer requires physical contact. Bruce only felt a flash before his eyes, and he appeared in another place.
This place looks like a rain forest, but I don't know if it is in Africa or America.
Katoom stood on his shoulder, grabbing a pickle with his wings and eating it loudly.
"You guys just arrived?"
Suddenly, a complaining female voice came from the other side.
Bruce turned around and saw Ravenclaw sitting on a large rock with an open magic book on his knees. He had already read to the end and had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"The Weasleys were so welcoming that it took a little time," Gryffindor said with a smile.
Ravenclaw couldn't help laughing when he saw Gryffindor wearing sausages and holding pickles.
"Can't you just be like a wizard?"
Ravenclaw took out a small bag, opened it, and pointed with his wand. All the things that Gryffindor and Bruce were holding were put into the small bag.
"Here you go, you don't have to give it back to me."
She threw the bag to the Gryffindor, then stood up from the stone, walked to Bruce, touched the top of his head, and then compared it with her own head.
"Sure, Bruce. You've grown this tall in just one summer vacation?"
Bruce is now a head taller than Ravenclaw, but still looks a little immature.
The Ravenclaw stood with him like a young woman with her teenage son.
"It's not that tall," Bruce said. "I can still grow another ten centimeters."
Ravenclaw smiled. She would be in a better mood if Bruce could be taller.
Once the pleasantries are over, it's time to get down to business.
The reason why Ravenclaw insisted on having Bruce come here this time was that they had something important to show him.
Strictly speaking, the matter dates back to a month ago.
At that time, Bruce had not yet returned to Harry's world, but the intersection of celestial bodies had begun, and some things that would affect the direction of the world had also begun to happen quietly.
Bruce had seen with his own eyes that there were two worlds that were attracted.
One world that can be confirmed to be "Supernatural" has the result that there are a lot of monsters and demons on Earth, as well as a lot of demigods wandering around the earth.
It's just that they are still lurking and observing the world, and are not in a hurry to declare their existence.
As for the other world, Bruce and Katum didn't know what it was.
It was shrouded in black mist and looked dead silent and lifeless from a distance.
But this is just an appearance. At least Ravenclaw has discovered something that may come from another world.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that this place was already like this when I discovered it. I just took some measures to cover it up."
Ravenclaw walked towards a clearing in the rainforest, stretched out his hand, and grabbed something out of thin air.
Bruce saw that where Ravenclaw grabbed it, space became distorted, and it felt like an invisibility cloak was caught.
Then, Ravenclaw waved his hand, as if lifting a curtain, and a big hole suddenly appeared in the empty space.
The big hole was like a space channel, leading to an invisible place.
Gryffindor was not surprised by this, as he obviously already knew what was hidden by Ravenclaw.
"Several similar holes have appeared in the world recently."
Gryffindor explained, "They all lead to another world, but their range is very small. You can't go far before the passage to the outside world is blocked by black fog." The one in front of us is the most recently discovered passage.
"Rowena told me that you are very knowledgeable about space and time travel. We can ask you to give us some reference," said Gryffindor.
Ravenclaw knew that Bruce came from another world, which happened in the second year of school.
The old woman had been helping Bruce keep the secret, and now she took the initiative to tell Gryffindor, which obviously showed that she fully trusted the other party.
"I can't say what the experts say, I can only say I'll do my best."
Bruce had no information about the other world of black fog, so he could only go and see it with his own eyes.
"Then let's go in."
After hearing what Bruce said, Ravenclaw didn't want to waste any more time talking.
She had entered this world before, but she only walked through an area and then retreated without searching all around.
Now that everyone is here, let’s go in together.
Bruce had no objection. He took Katum and the two founders and walked into the space channel.
……
Starting from the rainforest and passing through the space channel, what appeared in front of Bruce was still a rainforest.
"This……"
Bruce looked back and found that he was indeed no longer in the same place.
The gap between the two rainforests is quite large.
In the rainforest at the other end of the space channel, the plants are so tall that the sunlight can only shine through the layers of leaves, casting mottled shadows.
These trees have various shapes. Some have trunks so thick that it takes more than a dozen people to hug them; others are slender and tall, reaching straight to the sky.
The air in the rainforest is humid and sultry, filled with the scent of earth and plants.
From time to time, drops of water fell from the leaves and dripped onto Bruce's head.
At the same time, some strange sounds came from a distance. Bruce seemed to have heard similar sounds before, but he couldn't remember where he heard them.
"What's that noise?" Bruce asked.
"Dinosaur."
Ravenclaw said calmly, as if he was just introducing some ordinary creature.
Bruce then remembered that it was no wonder that he felt these sounds were familiar. He had seen Kingpin's dinosaur army in the Dusk Wolf universe, and the roars were indeed like that.
"This is a prehistoric world?" Bruce said, "How come even dinosaurs are still alive?"
Could it be that the other world shrouded in black fog is also modeled after the Earth, but the timeline has deviated and the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs did not hit the Earth?
If so, could there be some dinosaur civilization similar to human civilization?
But Ravenclaw's answer interrupted Bruce's thoughts: "It's possible. During my brief exploration, I found some ruins. The patterns carved on the stones did show some dinosaur-like creatures standing."
remains?
If such a thing exists, then there is no doubt that civilization must exist in this world.
Or at least there was civilization.
"Ms. Rowena, can you take me to see the ruins?" Bruce said in a deep voice, "Only by seeing the ruins can I confirm what world this is."
In fact, it wasn't Bruce who wanted to see it, but he wanted Katum to take a look.
This guy knows a lot about the universe, and maybe he can use this clue to figure out what kind of world this is.
Ravenclaw thought about it and felt that there was no problem.
"Okay," she said, "come with me."
Bruce and Gryffindor followed Ravenclaw's footsteps and walked deeper into the rainforest.
After passing through countless tall trees, the scene before my eyes suddenly became clear.
A huge open space surrounded by rainforest appeared in front of them. In the middle of the open space, there was a pyramid-shaped building made of huge stones.
The stones are covered with moss and vines, and this place has been abandoned for a long time.
The complex extends outward, forming a huge temple city.
Bruce and his companions walked deeper into the cave, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a towering stone gate, which was covered with strange symbols and statues.
When Batboy first saw the statues, he suddenly doubted Ravenclaw's judgment.
Those statues are lifelike and indeed look like standing reptiles, but to say they are dinosaurs is probably a bit of a stretch.
Bruce felt that these creatures were more like lizards.
Standing lizard, lizard man.
At this time, Bruce heard Katum muttering in his ear, as if saying something like "No way", "Impossible", "It's over".
"Katum, did you find anything?" Bruce asked.
"It's hard to say, I'm not sure." Katum shook his head frantically, as if he was desperately denying the thoughts in his mind.
"Impossible..." Owl thought to himself, "If this is really that world, then we don't have to play anything, we can just destroy it directly."
Bruce was still observing his surroundings.
On both sides of the stone gate are two thick stone pillars with spiral patterns on them, which seem to be some ancient text or totem, or perhaps the code leading to a mysterious power.
Walking along a gravel path inside, you can see some temple-like buildings.
The roof of the temple had partially collapsed, and sunlight shone through the dilapidated roof onto the dusty ground.
There was a mosaic-like puzzle on the ground, which depicted the scene of the old people here holding mysterious ceremonies. Seeing those patterns, Bruce felt that the people living here were lizard people, not dinosaur people.
In the picture, the lizard people are surrounding a crystal that emits a strange light, with their bodies in various postures of worship.
Behind the temple, there is a huge circular plaza.
In the center of the square is a dry fountain with various aquatic creatures carved on the edge. Perhaps in the era of the Lizardmen, there was once clear spring water gushing out here.
In the corners of the ruins, there are some broken pottery jars with paintings of lizardmen fighting, hunting and sacrificing.
Unexpectedly, Bruce saw some high-tech-looking things in the pottery jar, like a huge chair suspended in the sky, or a giant cannon carried on the back of a dinosaur.
This is really incredible.
"The more I look at it, the more it looks like..."
Bruce heard Katoom's muttering.
"What are you talking about?" Bruce asked, "What world do you associate with it? Whether it's right or not, tell me first!"
"……All right."
Katoom sighed, "Bruce, have I ever told you the name of the Warhammer before?"
