Chapter 253 251. The Lestrange Brothers
After the two wizards left, Jon didn't relax like Neville and the others.
"Don't go straight ahead, yaw right away, and walk in the direction close to the coast of Norway."
Ron asked in confusion.
"Is there anything wrong with these two?"
Jon didn't explain much, he just said calmly.
"No matter how normal they behave, two Scottish wizards came to this sea area on broomsticks. This is a big problem. In any case, at least get close to the coast first, just in case."
Jon is very clear that their current situation is completely different from Azkaban and the two times in the tower.
Before they were in the dark, and Voldemort's arrangements were in the light, which gave them enough time to solve some problems in a relatively safe environment.
But now that their actions at sea have been exposed, it is completely different. Voldemort will inevitably send sufficient manpower to search their whereabouts. He would choose to catch them all, or even kill them on the spot.
This makes Jon and the others very dangerous now, otherwise Dumbledore would not have kept Fox by their side so carefully.
Otherwise, if Fox is kept in France with the convenience, it can actually provide a lot of help to the wizards of Wupingxian.
Even though others thought that the two wizards didn't seem to be acting abnormally, Jon's order was faithfully carried out. They had been sailing along the area close to the Norwegian coastline according to Dumbledore's suggestion. As long as the course is deflected to the east, it only takes about two days at most to reach the northernmost seaport in Norway.
…
The two brothers, Rodolphus Lestrange and Rabastan Lestrange, received orders from Voldemort the day Jon and the others first entered Sir Stoke's Tower, and brought four death-eating The gangsters go to sea.
Because they had never been to the sea, they had no way to directly use apparition to quickly investigate. Voldemort explained all the places they were going.
But on the day when the tower was blown up and Jon and the others escaped from there, the Lestrange brothers brought their hands down to Azkaban.
The leader of the Dementors, who concealed all information about his mistakes, personally led them to the underground chamber where Voldemort hid his diary.
They didn't get any useful information here. When they broke into Azkaban Castle, both Jon and Fred were disguised as two Aurors. With these, it was impossible to tell their identities .
However, these dementors always provided Lestrange with a piece of information that sounded a bit unbelievable.
"That person summoned two patron saints?"
His younger brother Labastan also emphasized loudly in disbelief.
"Are you sure that one person summoned two patron saints? It's not that the other one actually came from somewhere else?"
After the patron saint is summoned, it doesn't have to follow its master. Under the development of Dumbledore, many wizards in the Order of the Phoenix will use some advanced applications for the patron saint.
Including but not limited to letting them help deliver messages, be responsible for vigilance, and even support coordinated combat.
These are not like the Shadowless Gods invented by Snape. Anyone can learn them as long as they know the spells and the principles of casting them.
People with dark and tyrannical hearts like patron saints can't be summoned no matter what. This has led to almost no way for Voldemort's subordinates to learn this trick secretly. After all, they don't even have the most basic patron saint. Can't be summoned.
But even if they have never eaten pork, they must have seen pigs running. They don’t know if it was possible to summon two patron saints by one person in history, but there is absolutely no relevant record in the officially recognized history of magic. !
That's why the reaction of the two Lestrange brothers was so great.
It is precisely because of this that no matter how certain the leader of the dementors is, it is impossible for one person to summon two patron saints. No matter what, it is impossible for another ghost to summon them. The two of them have always maintained a skeptical attitude. .
They speculated that someone might have been invisible at the time and was not noticed by the dementors. This led to the fact that the two people were actually the patron saints who summoned together, but the dementors were summoned by one person. The illusion of two.
Of course, if it is true, this can be said to be a very important clue. After all, there is only one person who can summon two patron saints. As long as his identity is confirmed, this can become a symbolic identification.
It can also be said that this clue is completely irrelevant, because in the conventional concept of wizards, although the Patronus Charm is powerful, it is only the most effective spell against some dark magic creatures. In normal wizard duels, this spell cannot Plays as critical and effective as any other spell.
However, after getting Nick's appearance characteristics from the dementors, they quickly confirmed the judgment of the Aurors who came to Azkaban Island before that this ghost was the former Hogwarts castle. One of the resident ghosts.
Afterwards, they rode on the broomsticks and continued to search for the area Voldemort had marked for them. Since there was no way to apparate, they could only fly non-stop on the broomsticks over the sea.
The Death Eaters implemented a two-shift plan and divided them into two groups. One group continued to fly towards the target point on the sea surface, and the other group rested in the UK. When it was time for the shift change, the Death Eaters on the sea surface The gangsters apparated back to England, took the rest back to the point they had flown, and continued on to the target.
Although the Hogwarts that Jon and the others were on was sailing day and night without manpower, flying was always faster than on the sea, and they stayed on the tower for three or four times. In just one day, on the fourth day after Jon and the others left the tower, Rodolphs and the others found the sea area where the tower was located.
It's just that the tower has collapsed. Even though there are still traces of magic in this sea, the building and the old man named Stoke that Voldemort marked for them can't be found at all.
Something went wrong!
This was the first thought that came to the minds of the two Lestrange brothers, but it didn't turn out right after they caught mermaids around and asked what happened here.
A Howler letter from Voldemort was also delivered to them.
