Chapter 1393 Black Cocoon
Feather-like snowflakes fell silently from the sky, and were then picked up by a sweeping gust of wind. The figure flying through the air has already disappeared at the end of the white snow.
Suddenly, the man suddenly lifted up his broomstick, hovering in mid-air and looking down at the village diagonally below that was completely shrouded in thick freezing fog.
“Is this... caused by dementors?”
After observing carefully, Albert reached out and took out his wand from his robe pocket, pointing at the large piece of freezing fog in front of him.
A strong storm swept across with the waving of the wand, preparing to disperse the freezing fog that shrouded the village in one breath.
However, the strange mist only made some waves and showed no sign of being dissipated.
“Oh, that’s surprising.”
Albert was stunned for a moment. He moved his eyelids slightly to look at the newly triggered panel task called "Liberation". He then looked up at the village shrouded in wind and snow, and fell into a brief silence. He had probably guessed that this village was covered by wind and snow. What is happening to the village shrouded in freezing fog?
"It seems like it's a trap specially prepared by the Death Eaters...Forget it, I'll handle it myself." He murmured.
Some of it was because he wanted to complete the task with a relatively rich experience, and some of it was because he didn't want others to take risks.
If the fog cannot be dispelled, the members of the association will have to deal with the Inferi's attacks in the fog, and there is a high possibility of casualties.
He came to investigate in advance just because he didn't want any casualties among the association members. It was important to maintain a high morale when facing Voldemort.
Otherwise, as Christmas approaches, Albert is too lazy to run around.
After tapping himself with the wand, Albert tilted the broom and plunged directly into the fog.
The field of vision in front of me was very poor. I couldn't see clearly a few meters around me. Some strange noises could be heard vaguely below.
It should be the Inferi.
That group of Death Eaters were simply crazy. They actually killed all the residents of this village and turned them all into Inferi.
Although this has something to do with the association members fighting against the inferi, Albert does not think this is his problem, because even if he does not let the association members destroy the inferi, the Death Eaters will still continue to create more inferi.
Albert stopped on a higher roof, looked down at the Inferi on the street illuminated by the fire, and murmured: "Those guys deserve to die."
He was right to come to investigate in advance. Otherwise, once the members of the association break into the village, they may soon be brutally attacked by the Inferi.
Well, you can actually ride a broom, but this freezing fog is also a problem.
This freezing fog is very cold.
Even if Albert uses magic to protect himself and cannot feel the coldness around him, the frost on the thick cloak and the surrounding ice and snow world full of ice crystals are enough to show how cold it is here.
If it were Albert himself, there really was no good way to deal with the environment here, unless he used powerful fire to burn everything here together with the freezing fog.
But Albert didn't really want to do that.
The traces of using Li Huo are too obvious.
Furthermore, in this environment, Li Huo may not be easy to control. After all, this village is not small.
“Kill all the Inferi here first!”
Albert took out a specially made screaming doll from his pocket, cast a spell on it to ensure it wouldn't freeze, and then threw the doll onto the street.
The puppet flicked twice after landing, splitting into two as if cracked, and then into four, and kept making weird laughter with its mouth open.
The Inferi that were still wandering around suddenly stopped and turned their heads to gather in the direction of the sound.
“There are probably only a few corpses around.”
Albert took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the speed of gathering monsters, he still raised his wand and let the bone-chilling wind mixed with freezing air sweep across the streets below.
The Inferi, which were gathered by the noise, moved slower and slower, and the frost on their bodies became thicker and thicker. In a short time, they were frozen into ice sculptures, looking like a disaster movie, which was particularly spectacular.
No, this is a disaster.
In other words, this is what war is like.
A bunch of lunatics.
Albert waved his wand again, causing the lifelike ice sculpture below to explode suddenly, without even having to deal with the aftermath.
Gather monsters, eliminate them, gather monsters again, eliminate them again, repeated several times, Albert completely eliminated all the Inferi in the village.
If it were other association members to clean up the village, they would probably have to move forward slowly despite the bad environment.
“This is probably the benefit of having power!”
After sighing in his heart, Albert returned his attention to the village in front of him.
There is actually no problem in continuing to stay here, but when the spells around the village to expel Muggles completely expire, ordinary people will probably notice something abnormal here.
Even if he wanted to reverse the freezing fog here, Albert didn't have a good way.
Wrong!
etc!
Albert always felt that something was not right, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
What is wrong?
He raised his hand and tapped his head, his eyes swept around, and finally fell on the detection watch in his hand.
The warning light is still on, which means there are still enemies around.
“There is something unknown here.” Albert stared at the direction pointed by his pocket watch and murmured, “Is it over there?”
“Trap, or...”
The unknown is scary.
Albert didn't want to take risks, but his intuition told him that this was probably what the mission was referring to.
“Go and have a look, but you have to be prepared.”
Albert waved his wand and summoned the Elder Wand left on the ship. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that at critical moments, the Elder Wand could really put him at ease.
Hunters made of ice cubes gathered in front of Albert with the waving of the wand. They raised their heads and roared silently, rushing in a weird direction.
After he summoned the patron saint to completely wrap himself up, Albert got back on the broomstick and flew forward.
The target pointed by the detection pocket watch was a very ordinary house, no different from other houses in this village, but when Albert got close to it, he always felt a strange feeling in his heart.
That feeling is a bit familiar, it's...dementors.
That's right, it's a dementor.
That’s the feeling of encountering a dementor, that kind of monster will affect the people around you.
They had a similar feeling when they went to Azkaban to rescue the poor people who were captured.
Just not as strong as now.
Albert waved his magic wand, causing the hounds running below to break into the house directly. However, the hound made no noise, as if there was nothing in the house.
Nothing at all?
Obviously impossible.
This is undoubtedly a bad omen.
Albert didn't plan to risk going in, so...he directly chose to use spells to violently demolish the entire house.
After a series of obstructions such as walls and roofs were shattered by spells, Albert finally saw the terrible monster hidden in the house.
It may not be appropriate to describe it as a monster, it is more like a lair.
That’s right, the lair.
The dementor's lair.
It filled the original house like a cocoon of black mist, and spread a strange feeling to the surroundings. It even affected Albert, who was protected by the Patronus Charm, and caused some scattered sounds to ring in his ears.
Albert turned his broomstick and backed away to distance himself. The sound in his ears finally stopped, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Intuition told Albert that the dementors were probably "hatching" offspring.
How these monsters reproduced offspring, there was no relevant record in the extensive books he had seen.
However, there are various indications that dementors will multiply in an environment with sufficient food, and the large number of dementors wandering in the UK today is the best proof.
So, what should I do with this thing?
Now that you have encountered it, you can't just let it go. Moreover, it seems to be related to your own panel task.
Use the Fire Spell to burn them directly?
But can the fierce fire really burn down the black cocoon like countless dementors wrapped together?
After hesitating for a moment, Albert finally did not try to use the sharp fire first, but raised his wand and pointed forward to use the Patronus Charm.
The light ball condensed by the patron saint suddenly bloomed with white light, directly covering the black cocoon in front of it.
The next moment, a shrill scream sounded from the black cocoon, as if countless souls were wailing. What was even weirder was that the black cocoon actually began to surge, and ferocious faces emerged, attracting Albert, who was paying attention to the changes in the black cocoon. Te was shocked.
"this…"
Albert thought he might have guessed the meaning of the mission "liberation", so he caused the light ball condensed by the patron saint to sink directly into the black cocoon.
Black Cocoon trembled violently, but soon calmed down again.
"efficient."
Albert's eyes lit up, and he continued to summon his patron saint, letting the light **** sink into the black cocoon one after another.
The screams became louder and louder, and the entire black cocoon was shaking.
That thing could no longer hold it any longer. While it was wailing, the black cocoon was already filled with white light, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
With a bang, the black cocoon suddenly exploded in the white light.
Albert was so shaken that he felt dizzy, and a double image appeared in front of him.
He shook his head and stared dumbly at the soul pouring out of the black cocoon.
The figure that looks a bit like a ghost, made up of dense white smoke, should be the residents of this village who were sucked away by the dementors. Their faces are extremely ferocious, and they look like they are suffering from some great pain.
After a moment, the pain on those people's faces gradually disappeared, as if they finally came back to their senses. They all looked at Albert, and a few of their souls bowed slightly to him, then turned around and disappeared.
Looking at the disappearing souls, Albert murmured: "They really deserve to die, not one of them can be left alive."
After the black cocoon has completely disappeared, the cold fog shrouding the village is gradually fading, although it may take a long time to return to normal.
Looking at the completed panel task, Albert took a deep breath and activated the broomstick to leave this place of right and wrong.
