Chapter 255 253. The prisoner who walked out of the tower
The person who got their news was the younger brother of the Lestrange brothers—Labastan.
Even if the sea area close to the Arctic Ocean is nothing compared to the real sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, it is not something that Death Eaters can keep an eye on all the time.
Rodolphs analyzed that if Jon's destination is still at the end of the North Pole, then even if they deviate from the channel, they will not be too far away, and they must still follow the shortest route in the center.
Therefore, he divided the sea area into east and west according to the central route. The west is from the middle of the Norwegian Sea to the east coast of Greenland, and the east is from the middle to the west coast of Norway.
Rodolphs led people to search the entire west, and Rabastan was in charge of the entire east. At the end of the Arctic Ocean, some people were left just in case.
His arrangement is not insecure. Even if the Death Eaters do not have enough manpower to cover the entire sea area, because of the convenience of Apparition, they can be quickly retrieved, and once people in one place find a problem, then people in other places People can quickly provide support.
It was also under such an arrangement that Rabastan, which was in charge of the entire eastern part of Norway, received news that a wizard ship claiming to be Durmstrang School of Magic was sailing near the northern coast of Norway.
As soon as he saw this report, Rabastan noticed that it was unusual.
It's not that he can see any problems from this short message, but according to the current form, Durmstrang's position is opposed to Voldemort.
A magic school that indulges students in the study of black magic and never admits hemp students is rumored to be opposed to Voldemort, who enforces the pure-blood policy. This is actually something that many people who don't know the truth can't understand.
But in fact, the reason for this situation is only from one person.
A demon who was expelled from Durmstrang and disrupted the entire wizarding world fifty years ago.
It's just that he became a loser later on. According to the crimes he committed, he should have been unable to leave the tower named "Numongard" for the rest of his life, but nine years ago, in the city of Hogwarts, Half a year after the fall of the castle, the tall tower located deep in the uninhabited forest of Austria suddenly collapsed.
The prisoner who was imprisoned in it, also disappeared without a trace.
Over the years, according to Voldemort's orders, a team of Death Eaters has actually been investigating the news of the loser. They found some signs in Northern Europe, such as the wand family that is as famous as the British Ollivander family—Grigovi The disappearance of Strange, and the reactivation of the "Woozi Party (officially known as the Saints, an organization that should have been forgotten in history, all show that the man who walked out of prison did not produce anything indifferent. idea.
But after all, these people have no way to fight against the former devil. Just this year, when Voldemort had a complete showdown and swallowed up the whole of France, Durmstrang also had a man named "Gellert Bagshot" The new principal took office and joined the Wuping Line led by Dumbledore.
After all, he still has some scruples about the impact of the surname "Grindelwald" if it reappears in the wizarding world. After all, fifty years ago, the movements and taboos he created were too great, even bigger than Voldemort's today. Much bigger, it can be said that it wants to pierce the sky of the magic world.
It is precisely because of this that it became a situation where the world is enemies.
Even now, once the news of his aboveboard comeback comes out, it will bring Dumbledore a lot of trouble. Just the behemoth that is separated by an ocean from Europe - the Magical Congress of the United States will never allow such a thing to happen. In any case, this monster who once stepped on the face of the Congress must be re-imprisoned or directly killed.
That's why Grindelwald chose the surname of another relative, "Basht", and did not directly appear on the frontal battlefield in France. Instead, he has been providing logistics work for Dumbledore and the others in Northern Europe.
But even though many Death Eaters ridiculed the former devil for turning into a timid, toothless tiger because of his behavior, everyone knew that the man must be accumulating his strength again.
Now, although he and Dumbledore seem to have the same position, many people still suspect that he and Dumbledore still can't get together, otherwise he won't call his former subordinates to let the "" who has been buried in the dust of history" The Witch Party" has reappeared.
No one knows what his thoughts and goals are now, but it is clear to Rabastan that since they belong to Durmstrang, the people on this entire ship must be Grindelwald's subordinates.
is Grindelwald's subordinate, that is Voldemort's enemy, and may be the culprit of all this!
This is the root of Rabastan's suspicion. Therefore, as soon as he got the news, he first checked all the information about Durmstrang.
Finally, I got some clues from a daily newspaper from the Finnish magic circle.
It was a story that took over the front page of this paper last Christmas, detailing how Durmstrang's Transfiguration professor, Spence Johnson, led the Students go out to sea by boat for a different kind of Christmas vacation.
This report provided part of the evidence for the wizard on the ship who claimed to be the professor of the Durmstrang School, and judging from the time when the ship went to sea, it is unlikely that they went to Azkaban Island to capture the two Aurors , not only the time is wrong, but also the distance is too far.
The location of Durmstrang has always been a secret, but the general location should be in the northernmost part of Europe, the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, the northern part of Sweden or Norway.
If you go to sea from this position, it will take a long time to sail to Azkaban, and the time will not match. This will undoubtedly reduce the suspicion of Jon and the others, but now the Lestrange brothers Has been killed by Voldemort, even if there is only a slight possibility, they will do everything possible to find out.
So that afternoon, Rabastan personally led people to meet Helkie and Heinz near the coast of Norway.
