Chapter 381: The Legend of Azkaban and Slytherin
Evan writes to his parents while listening to Mr. Weasley and Sirius chat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I still have an impression of Jorkins when she was at Hogwarts and she was two years above me. Sirius recalled, "A stupid guy, very nosy, but brainless, completely mindless, and what a terrible combination of those two!"
"It's nerve-wracking, she's been with me for a while!" said Mr. Weasley, frowning, "people aren't bad, but they don't help at all, and as the report says, they cause more trouble than they do." ”
"What department is she in now?" Sirius asked.
"I've been working in the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation for many years, and then I don't know why, I was suddenly ...... by Barty"
Mr. Weasley paused, realizing that he shouldn't mention the name in front of Evan now, and hurriedly changed the subject, "She was transferred to the Department of Magical Sports not long ago, and all in all, over the years, she has been driven from one department to another, and only Ludo Bagman is willing to ask for her. Ludo is a good guy and he helped get my World Cup tickets. ”
"Where is she now?" Aven interjected, "I'd like to see her." ”
"What are you doing with Jorkins?" Sirius frowned, and when he saw Evan's expression, he immediately understood something, and said seriously, "Well, I know you suspect Crouch, and there's nothing wrong with your reasoning just now." But we should now concentrate on solving the curse on your wrist, and after cracking it, I'll help you investigate him, I promise!"
"You don't have a chance to see her now!" said Mr. Weasley, "and after this incident of biting cactus, she went on vacation abroad, and it will probably be a few weeks before she returns." Ludo thinks she needs to get some more fresh air and clear her mind. ”
Evan chuckled in his heart, if Bertha Jorkins set off for a holiday in the forests of Albania, then she would most likely have been captured by Voldemort.
It's not good, and now I'm being frantically tortured by the other party.
It was only a matter of time before Voldemort knew that his most heartfelt followers were still alive and had managed to escape Azkaban.
However, without the help of Peter Pettigrew and a wizard like Quirrell who was willing to share his body, it would be very difficult for Voldemort to come back and save Barty Crouch Jr. He's just a spiritless spirit now, unable to do anything.
As Evan pondered, a note swooped into the open door and landed slowly in front of Sirius, which he opened in confusion.
"Dumbledore has finished talking to Fudge, and he's given permission to enter Azkaban!" Sirius said, "he's waiting for us below." ”
Evan sped up to finish writing a letter to his parents, and by the way, he wrote one to Professor Lupin, reminding him to be aware of Barty Crouch's movements.
He handed the letter to Mr. Weasley, and after saying goodbye, returned to the elevator.
"How can we get to Azkaban?" asked Evan curiously, "Is it a phantom?"
"Like Hogwarts, apparition and any other spells that can sneak in are forbidden in that place. Sirius said, "Azkaban has cast many spells to prevent the prisoner from escaping and being found by others, but the Ministry of Magic has a special portkey to that place. ”
"Where the hell is Azkaban?"
"Nobody knows. Sirius said, "Although I have been there for more than a decade and have managed to escape, all I know is that it is on an island in the North Sea. ”
He was silent for a moment, then continued, "I was floating in the sea with a plank in my hand, and I could only make out the general direction, and I swam for a long time before I got back to land. ”
The history of Azkaban, a wizard's prison, is known to date back thousands of years.
There are many deeds about this famous prison that cannot be said for a few days and nights. Because of the large number of dark wizards imprisoned and the large number of Dementors gathered, it plays a very important role in the history of magic, and is mentioned repeatedly.
After the events of the Underground Ruins, Aven looked up a lot of historical information about Slytherin himself in the past few days.
In it, he found a very interesting account.
Not surprisingly, the founder of Azkaban is likely to be Salazar Slytherin himself.
A millennium ago, he proposed to the Presbyterian Church (the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic) to build a prison for dark wizards, and subsequently led the construction of the prison.
Slytherin himself placed a lot of magic on Azkaban and provided a large sum of gold Galleons to keep the prison running on a daily basis.
Of course, none of this is the point. What intrigues Evan is that according to legend, Slytherin traveled across the continent after leaving Hogwarts, but it is likely that he spent his later years in Azkaban.
According to the information obtained from the underground ruins, Slytherin left with the body and brain of the nightmare god he had sliced into pieces, and if he had lived in seclusion in Azkaban in his later years, would there have been a part of the god's body hidden there.
Aven touched the locket on his chest, and if he left any traces there, he might have a clue to the secret key to Slytherin's secret treasure.
Even if you can't, you might be able to improve your magic like you did last time.
On the other hand, he was now very interested in the creature of the evil god, who according to the one he had seen in the centaur tribal vision, and had many companions.
Evan wanted to study these terrifying creatures from the Void and find a way to deal with them, the kind of evil gods summoned by the ancient warlocks and too powerful were too strong to attack, but this guy who had been defeated and studied by Slytherin was the best target.
It didn't come from the Void, it was most likely created by the despicable Helmo himself, and it wasn't that powerful enough to give Evan a sense of powerlessness.
Evan and Sirius took the elevator down and quickly returned to the main hall.
Now, because it's past rush hour, there aren't many people here.
The golden fence door slid open, and Aven saw the golden statues in the fountain from a distance, no one came in, and they continued down.
"Department of Mysteries!" the cold woman's voice said, and then fell silent.
"This way, Aven!" Sirius pushed him out of the elevator, "This is the most mysterious department of the Ministry of Magic, and we're going to keep going." I've only been here once before, thirteen years ago, when I was tried and sent to Azkaban. (To be continued.) )
