Chapter 221 219. There is nothing under the sea
But as Dumbledore analyzed, the Oblivion Curse, a method of forcing people to change their minds, is not a long-term solution.
The first batch of hemp-seeded wizards released from the correctional center who have been transformed are indeed just a group of victims, and these victims will definitely attract the prey they need for the person who made this move.
Different from what the outside world imagined, in fact, there was no continuous wailing inside the correctional center, nor was there any horrific torture or torture.
Compared to a prison, this place is more like an alternative school, and Voldemort is the principal of the school.
He was sitting in an office with bright and clean windows, his eyes were looking out the window at the waves constantly hitting the reefs by the sea.
"The dementors who stayed in Azkaban, that's all the news they reported?"
The man's voice was very soft, making it impossible to hear what kind of emotion he was having at the moment.
As for his subordinate, Rodolphus Lestrange, who was the nominal head of the correctional center, lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the gentleman who seemed easy to get along with.
"This is the confession recounted to us by their leader. Inspiriting and Veritaserum have no effect on them. Master, we have no way to confirm the authenticity of this information, but I think they should not dare to lie to you. "
Voldemort looked downcast, he picked up the statement from the Dementor on his desk again, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Two wizards and a ghost forced their way into the island of Azkaban, captured the Aurors stationed on the island, and then used the extremely powerful patron saint spell to disperse the dementors in the castle, and finally disappeared with the captives without a trace."
Rodolphs didn't hear the sarcasm in the man's tone. If he dared to raise his head, he would find that the ironic sneer on his master's face was beyond words.
"After getting the statement from the dementor, I sent a small team to check the situation in that prison, master. Judging from the signs left there, the dementor should not be lying, our people are indeed Traces of two extremely powerful Patronus Charms being summoned have been found in the prison."
"The two people who broke into the prison drank the compound potion. They pretended to be Scarbio and McNeill, but the appearance of the ghost could not be changed. Through the description of the dementor, we found The profile of the ghost, he is"
Voldemort casually threw the statement back on the desk.
"He's a resident ghost who escaped from Hogwarts Castle."
Rodolphs looked at his master in astonishment. He had just investigated the information about Nick, and it was not mentioned in the statement at all.
Voldemort analyzed if he was interested.
"Let me think about it, that stupid woman Gray will definitely not help Dumbledore with this kind of thing, Barrow will leave with most of the ghosts to find a way, the fat monk is a good old man, but his character is not worth entrusting, If I were Dumbledore, the only choice would be that Nick who was almost beheaded."
Rodolphs swallowed nervously, nodded and said.
"Master, your wisdom is unparalleled in the world. It is Nicholas de Mimsy Popington. He is the ghost who appeared in the prison and helped the other two kidnap the Auror."
"Kidnapping an Auror?"
Voldemort raised his voice.
"If Dumbledore let them go there just for that, it wouldn't matter at all. Look up and look at me, Rodolphus."
Rodolphus raised his head tremblingly and met his master's gaze.
"At this time, I have to stay here, so you should send someone to Azkaban right now. There is a secret cellar on the first floor of that prison. Find it. Anyone under the barrel in the cellar Find a trap door. Open that door, go into the room behind it and find me a diary. If they can still find it, bring me back the diary immediately."
"If there is nothing in it, send someone to go north along the island of Azkaban, across the North Sea, and find a tower called Starr in the middle of the Norwegian Sea. Look there, except for an old waste who can only study astronomy , Is there anyone else here?"
His tone was not intense, and could even be called calm, but Rodolphs could hear the coldness that was enough to make most of the magic world tremble.
"What if... if someone else is in that tower, what should our people do?"
Voldemort stared at him.
"Except for one person to Apparate immediately and come back to report to me, everyone else stays and keeps an eye on those people, and I will go there myself!"
Rodolphs lowered his head heavily again.
"yes!"
Hermione, who was looking for clues to the lower floor in the foyer on the first floor, was suddenly startled by a voice sounding from her side.
"Miss Granger."
Rabiel didn't know when he appeared beside Hermione silently, and he looked at Hermione calmly with those big scary eyes.
"Lunch is ready, we should go to the living room for dinner."
Hermione trembled from fright, and then she recovered.
Luna on the side also came over. She looked at Rabiel and tilted her head in thought.
"Mr. Rabier?"
Rabiel turned to look at the girl with light blond hair.
"Just call me Rabiel, no elf deserves to be called Mister."
Hermione and Luna looked at each other, and she saw what she was thinking.
"We are more curious about one thing." Luna asked softly, "Is the floor we are on now the bottom that the whole tower can reach? Can I go to the floor?"
There is nothing to hide. From the current point of view, Sir Stoke's attitude towards them can be called friendly.
Even if there is still a section of this tower under the sea, it is not a shameful thing.
Facing her question, Rabiel's ugly face didn't change his expression, he just shook his head and said.
"In order to resist the corrosion of the seawater on the tower, all the hard stone foundations are erected under the sea surface, and there is no way to reach it without a room."
His answer was reasonable, and he was very calm about this ordinary question. Neither Hermione nor Luna saw any problems.
Originally, they were just whimsical and a little curious. Now that they have got the answer from Rabiel, they are not persistent on this question.
