Chapter 1354 The Enemy of Goblins
After Cedric learned the news delivered by Ernie, he couldn't help but be a little surprised at the other party's boldness. This matter was really discussed seriously, because they also wanted to drive away the Death Eaters and destroy Hogwarts. Take it back.
In the end, the meeting was unable to make a decision because Albert was not present.
As for the Order of the Phoenix, after a brief discussion, they have clearly rejected this bold plan, because even if they can control the Death Eaters headed by Snape, it may be difficult to hide it from the mysterious man.
Professor McGonagall believes that before the opportunity mentioned by Albert arrives, the Death Eaters should not be overly stimulated, lest those madmen do something crazy again.
Such a result is undoubtedly disappointing, especially for the students who stayed at Hogwarts, who were breathless under the oppression of the Death Eaters.
“Perhaps, the professors have their own considerations.”
Cedric hesitated for a moment and said to Ernie, "If you really want to drop out of school and join the Defense Association, I suggest that you temporarily hide in the Room of Requirement to practice defense against dark arts. If Dumbledore's Army disbands, everyone will lose the fight. You-Know-Who and the Courage of the Death Eaters.”
"But…"
"Neville and Luna will return to Hogwarts in two days, and I will also increase the frequency of coming here." Cedric reassured, "It is especially important for you now to lay a good foundation, otherwise When you start to learn more combat skills, you will find that you need to go back and make up for what you missed."
“I really don’t understand what you are worried about?” Michael muttered.
“Perhaps, we can do it ourselves.” Ernie suggested.
"Albert has been somewhere in the past few days. I suspect he is preparing something. I will talk to him about this matter when he comes back." Cedric absolutely does not want Ernie to act in private, lest they suddenly reveal What a big mess, it will probably be difficult to end.
…
What exactly is Albert doing?
This is probably something that both the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix are curious about.
Everyone thought he was planning something.
They did guess it right. Albert was indeed planning a big thing and was advancing his plan in an orderly manner.
The blasting of Hogsmeade was only half a success, and it was indeed a bit unexpected to him, but the conflicts caused by the confrontation between the Death Eaters controlled by the Imperius Curse and the foreign dark wizards still successfully attracted everyone's attention. force.
This makes Ludo Badman's covert operation smoother. Many goblins have been visited by dark wizards in recent days, and their valuables have been looted. Many goblins have been frightened and have moved back to the goblin villages to join their own kind. Keep warm.
Such a result is what Albert wants to see, and it can also be said to be the main reason why he let Ludo Badman commit a series of robberies.
“The soul is out of body!”
After Ludo Badman controlled the goblin and completed a new round of robbery, Albert quietly appeared at the scene of the crime and used the Imperius Curse to successfully control the unlucky guy who had just been robbed. This is already the fifth goblin that Albert has controlled in recent days.
The first four goblins were all robbed by Ludo Badman and forced to move back to the goblin village.
If there are many unlucky people with similar experiences, no goblin will doubt them. Even if one day these unlucky people who were robbed by the same person get together to curse Ludo Badman, it seems to be a normal thing. Not to mention secretly conveying the situation in the demon village to Albert late at night.
The magic system of goblins is different from that of wizards. If Albert does not want to capsize in the gutter, he naturally needs to be careful. It would be foolish to rush into the goblin village without any preparation.
After all, even if you use advanced shielding spells, you may not be able to block the goblin's warning magic. He is not sure if there is anything similar in that village.
It would be stupid if you were discovered just after intruding.
However, various evidences show that goblins are more willing to believe in the intricate underground labyrinth than to believe in the so-called warning magic.
It is difficult for an intruder to find a goblin village deep underground.
At least the group of dark wizards headed by Ludo Badman is unlikely to go deep underground to rob them. Even if they did, they would probably only get lost in the underground maze.
This will undoubtedly make the Abbott plan smoother.
As an activist who defends the rights of goblins, Ragnor is undoubtedly popular among the goblins. The fact that he was robbed by Ludo Badman made many goblins extremely angry.
At that time, those goblins who came to Ludo Badman to collect debts even claimed that they regretted not killing Badman directly?
Ragnor, who returned to the goblin village to escape the disaster with his few luggage, was warmly welcomed by everyone, and the goblins even held a small party for him.
After finishing a party with several neighbors who had the same experience, he drank some wine and opened one of his suitcases with confused eyes. The box that originally contained only a few tattered books and clothes actually appeared after opening it. A hidden door pointing downwards.
After walking down the stairs, there is a small basement, where a large cabinet is stored alone.
If a knowledgeable wizard is here, he will definitely recognize that this is the disappearing cabinet that was very popular in the past.
Suddenly, the gears on the disappearing cabinet started moving, and the door was opened from the inside, but there was nothing inside the cabinet.
However, from the extremely slight footsteps, it cannot be concluded that someone just came to this goblin village through the disappearing cabinet.
It's just that the person who was teleported became invisible.
"It went more smoothly than I expected." Albert laughed at himself in his heart, "That's right. If this fails, how unlucky will I be, not to mention that I drank the elixir when I came here."
He quietly came out of the suitcase, picked up the village map prepared in advance on the table, tapped it lightly with his wand, cast the trace spell on the map in his hand, and began to check whether the old elf Bogrod was there. location marked on the map.
Fast, accurate and ruthless!
This is the key to Albert's success.
Even if the goblins were aware of someone invading the village, Albert would have left the scapegoat and left quietly.
As for who the scapegoat is, it is naturally Ludo Badman.
If Albert's luck is really that bad, this "goblin enemy" will lead people to invade the goblin village and continue the robbery plan.
It seems normal that this bold guy, who was dazzled by the benefits of robbing the goblin, planned this operation.
After all, they are the special scapegoats who have been prepared long ago. The hatred between the two parties has been full since the debts were not repaid.
As for him, of course he left before the goblin could react.
Bend down and go out through the low door.
Outside is a spacious open space, the surroundings are eerily quiet, and the fairies have all fallen asleep.
Perhaps, in the goblin village, they don't have to be as vigilant as outside, and living with their own kind makes them feel more at ease. Moreover, the goblins obviously did not think that any enemy would invade the dungeon, let alone a shameless guy using extraordinary means to invade here.
At this moment, Albert will step on special shoes and silently walk in this dungeon decorated with fluorescent moss and magic lights.
After arriving at the door of Bogrod's house according to the map guidance, Albert repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, then quietly opened the door and bent down and walked in.
The rooms here are all the same, and Albert soon found the old goblin Bogrod sleeping on the bed.
“The soul is out of body!”
Albert raised his wand and chanted a spell on the old goblin Bogrod. He was not anxious to completely control the old goblin Bogrod, but instead made an invisible bracelet made of rope appear on his wrist.
This will be Harry's last resort if his plan fails.
At that time, Albert will take matters into his own hands.
“I hope everything will go well next.” Albert murmured.
Horcruxes must all be destroyed,
Voldemort can only be killed after losing his Horcrux and becoming a mortal.
He will never allow the plan to fail!
After completing the control of the Imperius Curse on the old goblin Bogrod, Albert did not stay here. He arrived quietly and left quietly.
As for the suitcase containing the disappearing cabinet, he was ready to take it with him.
The method is simple.
Mentos
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and cast a spell on it. After completely turning the handkerchief into a door key, it was pulled away and disappeared.
Portkeys are indeed a very convenient means of travel. The only problem is that traveling with them is not that pleasant.
After recovering from the bad dizziness, Albert directly set fire to the handkerchief completely, burned it to destroy the corpse, and then apparated away again with the suitcase.
Next, Harry’s side is left.
I don’t know how well he has practiced the Fire Spell.
However, at this point, Albert was not so anxious.
“You seem to be relieved after all.” Isobel handed over a glass of wine.
“I did something big today.”
“To control a goblin?”
"That's a key person." Albert took a big sip and repeated, "A very important guy. I have obtained the key to victory."
"It seems that you have gathered all the chips leading to this wizarding war."
"Well, at least even if I leave Harry behind, I'm confident that I can end this war. It's just the price I have to pay."
Albert knew very well that the final victory required accumulating a little advantage, especially against a tough guy like Voldemort.
“Perhaps, we should celebrate.” Isobel put her arms around Albert’s neck.
“Little Alice?” Albert reminded.
“Don’t worry, little Alice is in the study, and we will take good care of her in the future.”
“Getting the time turner was indeed the wisest choice.”
Albert bent down and picked up Tom Cat from the carpet, put it on the corridor outside the door, and closed the door again, leaving the fat cat still with his mouth open and yawning.
