Chapter 357 Voldemort: You are seeking death!
Fudge was enjoying himself here, thinking about how to fasten this **** basin firmly to Dumbledore's head. It would be best to weld it on directly so that no one could take it off.
A principal from another country is dead, another is disabled, and one of our own professors is missing. No one is alive or dead, no body is found... You are the only one at the scene, and then you say that Voldemort did it!
Okay, where’s the evidence?
How do you prove that a person who has been dead for more than ten years suddenly appeared in Hogwarts, which has a high level of defense, and then died, became disabled, and disappeared under the nose?
As the principal of Hogwarts, please give me an explanation!
Fudge even laughed out loud happily. While laughing, he took a pen and paper and started writing an article himself. Be sure to see the "truth" about the entire case in tomorrow's "Daily Prophet".
At this moment, his less-than-smart subordinate suddenly barged in again, without knocking on the door this time, and said in a panic, "The minister is not good!"
Fudge: I'm so **** good! I'm still very happy!
Your good ideas were all scared away. Fudge immediately dropped his pen and started to curse, but his subordinate opened his mouth and said: "Minister, this is bad, something big has happened..."
Just about an hour ago, a skinny wizard—it was the Death Eater who escaped by feigning death but was subdued by Voldemort again with the Dark Mark.
He took a group of wizards and witches who seemed crooked at first glance and did not look like good people. They sat in a wooden boat without sails and oars. Under the guidance of a faint blue boat lantern, he silently headed towards the North Sea. direction drift.
Although the wooden boat looks simple and slow, in fact, in the Beihai Sea at night when there was a lot of storms, it was as smooth as walking on the ground without any bumps.
This is a magic ship, with a magic lamp hanging on the bow.
More than ten minutes later, the wooden boat passed through the thick white fog and vaguely saw a shadowy island on the sea in the distance.
Arrived, this is their destination—Azkaban!
Hundreds of years ago, people suddenly discovered that there was an island in the cold North Sea, where ships often disappeared.
Later I found out that the place was originally occupied by a dark wizard who captured the sailors and crew members who passed by and used them for experiments.
It was not until the dark wizard died of old age and the magic failed that the island was discovered.
And the wizards also found the research results of the dark wizard on the island - Dementors.
This kind of thing does not look like it was transformed by a simple innocent soul, but rather like a monster summoned from an unknown space with a sacrifice.
After the Ministry of Magic was established, a prison was built here, and dementors that could not be effectively eliminated by these conventional methods were used as prison guards.
Those prisoners are the dementors’ food.
They feed on people’s positive emotions.
Once the prisoners are imprisoned for a period of time and become seriously addicted, they will lose all their faith and good feelings and thoughts. The darkest, most terrifying memories keep replaying in their minds. Some went crazy, and some died in despair...
However, not only those serious criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes and are sentenced to life imprisonment are imprisoned here, but there are also some minor ones.
For example, smuggling, fraud, and financial crimes—80% of these criminals graduated from Ravenclaw, and most of them were caught by Ravenclaw graduates.
These wizards usually only squat for a few months to a few years. As long as they are determined, they will not die.
And for those of them with minor crimes, dementors can only be smoked once a day.
Although saying it once is enough for them to forget for the rest of their lives, at least they won't go crazy.
I hope that after a few months of being sucked, they can change their minds and abide by the law from now on.
Just half a month ago, a wizard who was successful in fraud, became angry, and used magic to hurt people was sent to the island and imprisoned.
No one knows that he is actually a chess piece, a beacon.
The location of Azkaban is protected by magic. There is a heavy fog covering dozens of nautical miles on the sea, making it inaccessible by conventional means.
However, for the wizarding world of Great Britain, prison robbery has never happened, so these methods are actually just precautions, and they will naturally become lax after a long time.
The beacon that was sent in specifically to commit a crime actually marked the location of Azkaban.
Now, the skeleton-like Death Eater is quietly landing on the island with the helpers he has "drawn in".
There are only two wizards guarding the island, and a few house elves responsible for cooking.
The reason there are so few people is that the real jailers here are dementors.
After all, being remote and having dementors as neighbors is simply a match. Who would do this job if it wasn’t rotated every week?
However, Ted’s previous guess was correct.
Voldemort once studied dementors and had a special way to deal with them.
That's why those die-hard Death Eaters who were imprisoned in the deepest parts of Azkaban were able to avoid being driven crazy during these more than ten years in prison.
You must know that it is not unusual for the entire prison to last for more than ten years. There is only one Sirius in the original work.
And he used his Animagus to turn into a dog. Dementors cannot perceive the dog's joy, nor can they absorb the dog's positive emotions and happiness. So he is fine and surviving!
How did the other Death Eaters who were imprisoned here survive?
Although they all look crazy, such as Bella. But they didn't really become crazy.
It is precisely because of Voldemort's method of using extreme loyalty to counter the dementors' absorption of positive emotions.
A special kind of magic - it is like constantly hypnotizing one's own will.
And now, the skeleton Death Eaters also used Voldemort's newly researched method to directly drive back the dementors.
Two guards were directly killed by a group of dark wizards. The number of people attacked was still small, and there was almost no strong resistance. The two guards were gone in thirty seconds.
As for Azkaban's heavy protective magic, it was constantly attacked by the spells of more than a dozen dark wizards, and it was broken in five minutes.
A large number of prisoners were released, including those Death Eaters!
…
"What did you say?"
I say, best wishes, sir!
“I said...Azkaban was invaded and the prisoners ran away!”
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could a Dementor allow someone to break the prison?"
When Fudge heard what his subordinate said, he jumped up and the hair on his head stood up.
The headmaster of another country died at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore was naturally the most responsible.
But Azkaban was breached and dozens of criminals escaped, so it was myself who was most responsible!
I didn’t expect that I had to revise my manuscript just half way through?
At this time, except for a few people in the Ministry of Magic, no one knew that Azkaban had been broken in the distant North Sea.
At the coastal cliffs dozens of kilometers east of London, we met an old friend from decades ago.
Voldemort came to the secret base he had created by killing an entire village of villagers.
Hide one of his Horcruxes here, a Horcrux made from Slytherin's locket.
At the beginning, when he discovered the relics of his ancestor in Bojinbok's shop, he could still feel the excitement, the trembling, the feeling of destiny coming and destiny arranged.
Thinking of that feeling, this black magic heart that beats extremely slowly seemed to have a little more vitality.
Now, I want to collect the scattered Horcruxes again.
Perhaps I took the wrong path at the beginning, but now I have a new path. First, I need to ensure the integrity of my soul.
However, when he turned into a black smoke and floated across the dark water, his heart twitched suddenly: Where are my inferi!
In order to protect this Horcrux, I made more than a hundred mutated Inferi, but now none of them are missing!
He suddenly had a bad feeling, and in a flash he had landed on the rocks at the end of the water.
In the stone basin, among the potion, a small and exquisite locket was placed in it.
Hope, hope nothing happens.
He took out a bottle of viscous black liquid from his pocket and dropped it into the stone basin, and then began to cast a spell.
More than ten seconds later, the potion in the stone basin began to evaporate and turned into a cloud of light blue smoke, entangled in the air into a group of grimaces and silent roars.
But it was dispersed by Voldemort with a wave of his hand - it was nothing more than the death agony of a group of Muggles.
However, just as he smiled and picked up the locket, something felt wrong. Although it is similar, very similar, the feel and feel of it, this is not the locket left by my ancestor Slytherin!
Voldemort quickly opened the locket, and found a note inside:
Shameful Mr. Thief,
No matter who you are, you have created such a good show, and now everything has been returned to its original owner!
Cherish my kindness, if I meet you, it will not be so easy to talk to.
—Your esteemed Caractacus Bock.
Damn it! Damn it!
A magic was silently cast by Voldemort, and an illusory picture emerged from the locket in the air.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a projector.
Voldemort is using magic to trace what happened around this thing.
The picture shows a wretched wizard who is quite old, stuffing the note into the locket with a wretched smile...
This wretched wizard is Caractacus Bock, the current generation owner of Bock's store.
Ansu squatted opposite his shop for three days, collecting his every move, providing data to Ted, creating such an illusory scene in Utopia, and then injected it into the note he prepared.
When Ted took out the note, he cast the spell the whole time without touching it once. He was just worried about being contaminated by his aura or magic power and being tracked by Voldemort.
Well now, the "culprit" has been found, it is Caractacus Bock!
Caractacus Bock? Old Bock's son? !
You chose the wrong target! You deserve to die!
Voldemort was so angry that he crushed the fake pendant in his hand. His whole body turned into black smoke, which poured out of the cave and flew towards Knockturn Alley in London.
…
It was already late at night. After kissing Hermione good night, Ted and Hermione went back to their dormitories to rest.
Tomorrow I have to send off the exchange students and the representative team, so I need to go to bed early.
Presumably Hermione can breathe a sigh of relief now that Fleur and the others are gone.
At this time, Ted was lying on the bed and began to sort out the last wave of mission results.
After accumulating time and time again, the reward of the last mission is already purple quality.
“Ding~Completed the mission: [Seven Powerful Tournament Part 7: Endless Tower (Red)], obtained: 30,000 experience, card [Seven Powerful Trial (Purple)].”
“Ding~Complete the achievement [Seven Powerful Hegemony, I am the best!], and obtain: legend level 1, 800 reputation in the magic world, and 2000 reputation points in the magic world of Great Britain.”
Legendaryness: People can’t help but pay attention to and respect you—many people who would never have interacted with you have vaguely heard of your glorious deeds.
What's the meaning?
Ted didn't quite understand what this legend was for. But he understands reputation, he has turned on the reputation module before.
Reputation:
Magical World (Respect): 850 points - +50 points from previous events in Paris.
Magical World of Great Britain (revered): 2450 points.
This wave of live broadcasts of the Seven Powers Contest has a greater impact than previous world-class events.
At its peak, 120,000 wizards were watching the game at the same time, and they were able to post in the forum and post barrages in the live broadcast room, deeply participating in this event. That feeling is completely different.
Not only has Ted gained a huge reputation, being recognized by almost one-tenth of the wizards in the world, but other warriors have also gained a lot of attention. In particular, countries support their own country’s warriors.
Ted is now a respected figure in the entire magical world. It can be said that he is the number one young wizard!
Wow~ To be honest, it’s a bit cool!
Probably similar to those world-class sports stars + world-class movie stars and singers.
One-tenth of the wizards in the world have seen you with their own eyes and seen how powerful, calm and funny you are...
Oh, by the way, someone also posted a video of Ted singing to the forum, and the number of views has reached 300,000!
There are also black people carrying coffins... I feel that ghost culture may sprout at any time.
Ted took a deep breath and calmed down.
“It’s just a little bit of fame, strength is the king. Calm down! Just take a look at my cards!”
The Seven Wizards Tournament series of tasks accumulate reward levels, and the last level has already rewarded purple cards.
【Seven Strong Trials (Purple)】
Spell card
Use: Let the target enter a seven-level trial. Each level completed will gain a large amount of experience.
Number of uses: 3/3.
Note: If you fail, you will not be able to continue with the following levels. So come on~
This card... is actually a means of gaining experience!
And the system said it was massive, so it must be a lot, right?
However, it is still a bit difficult to read the information in the notes, right?
It can be used three times in total. How much experience does this require?
Ted thought for a while and was not in a hurry to use it. It's better to have a good rest and sleep now.
This Seven-wizard Tournament kept me busy, and later on, Senior Tom came out to cause trouble.
You have to take a complete rest and prepare yourself for this seven-strong trial again. You must not waste any levels.
…
The next day, Furong, Klum and other exchange students and warriors from foreign schools were leaving.
There was a bit of silence during the breakfast. Many little wizards had red eyes, and they gathered together and said something like "I will always remember you", "I will go find you after the holiday", "I only love you", "I will marry you after graduation" "Don't forget to write" and stuff like that.
I just hope they are all gods of pure love...
However, when the owls in the sky flew into the auditorium, it was different - there was a cry of exclamation!
Ansu grabbed a roll of newspaper and dropped it on Ted's desk.
It threw the newspaper on the table and shouted: "Look, there are a lot of good shows, quack!" It picked up a piece of meat pie and swallowed it directly.
This is really a mouthful!
Ted opened the newspaper, the Daily Prophet, with the front page table of contents.
Front page headline—"A murder occurred in Hogwarts, one dead, one injured and one missing. What is the truth?" 》
In a dynamic photo, four people are carrying the dead Karkaroff, and an old black monkey with a broken arm is being supported on one side.
With a sound of "Duang~", Klum slapped the newspaper **** the dining table, knocking over the milk on one side.
The dean of his family died suddenly, and his death was unclear.
It’s okay now, it’s all in the newspapers!
Now, who can make the decision for these Durmstrang students? Who can give us an explanation? !
Participate in a competition and destroy the principal. It’s really not easy to accept.
Ted glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued reading - the second page, "A suspected mass escape from Azkaban, dementors rebelled!" 》
ah? !
I, Cao, what’s going on?
The third version of the result—"The Bok Bock store in Knockturn Alley was completely destroyed, the boss was killed, and the Bock family bloodline was cut off! 》
Um?
ha! It seems that Voldemort has already been to the cave!
Thanks to the book friend "Daluo Immortal Chu Ritian" for the 1,000-point reward!
