Chapter 244: Ancient Potions (4)
It's too difficult to find a piece in the underground world of Gringotts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe area of this underground world is very large, and the number of vaults in it is very large, so if you look for them one by one, you don't know how much time it will take. The polyjuice decoction used can transform into the appearance of a wizard, but not into the appearance of a goblin, so it is difficult to get information through the internal channels of the goblin.
Xie An didn't know that the altar was hidden in that vault, and the Gringotts that blindly attacked was probably the most likely for the goblins to discover the abnormality. "Andrew, in this case, let's go back and look for it first, if it really doesn't work, I can help you master the magic of flying, and then you can try one by one vaults." ”
"One by one, there is no way to open the vault, and there is no way. ”
"Soul magic weapons generally have an extremely strange aura, and if you can find its special aura, you can easily find it. This has to go back to the beginning, we need to find a way to find more clues. Xie An and Queen Anne briefly discussed, and the two came out of Diagon Alley and came to the streets of London. Xie An called a taxi and motioned for the taxi to go to the apartment.
"I once heard you mention that your father is talking to the Muggle Prime Minister about cooperation, how is the progress now?" Queen Anne waved her hand slightly, and with a slight fluctuation of magic, the taxi driver in front of her seemed to have turned into a robot, only knowing to drive to the apartment according to Xie An's instructions.
"I have received a message from my father a few days ago, Minister Fudge has persuaded the female prime minister that now the cooperation plan between Muggles and wizards will be gradually launched, and the first step is to let some high-end Muggles know about the existence of the wizarding world. ”
Queen Anne looked out the window, the trees on the streets of London had begun to sprout, cars, neon lights, and fashionable Muggles dressed in fashion, all of which made Queen Anne feel like she had lived in the city hundreds of years ago.
"The cooperation between wizards and Muggles will eventually go divided. Queen Anne whispered, "This was predestined from the beginning. Although wizards have mastered a certain amount of magic and seem to be more powerful than Muggles, Muggles are good at learning and there are many of them. Whether it is a Muggle or a wizard, they are all human beings, and they will have greed and jealousy. Wizards find it difficult for Muggles to understand what Muggles do, and Muggles are jealous of wizards' long lives, strange magic, mutual suspicion and mutual wariness, and eventually they have to part ways, even go to war. Queen Anne said with some emotion.
At that time, in addition to Queen Mary's magical sect, many Muggle high-ranking people also knew about sealing Queen Anne. At that time, wizards were extremely powerful people, and their influence on the country had actually caused some Muggles to be dissatisfied. When Queen Anne was sealed, many Muggle leaders were willing to sit back and watch the battle, allowing the two sides to fight for power, until both sides were defeated, and Elizabeth I, who was extremely wary of magic, was elected to the throne.
"The cooperation between the two sides is nothing more than a common enemy, only the enemies they can see now, just the Death Eaters, the wizard army, and some users of horrific witchcraft. In such a situation, the solidity of the alliance is indeed questionable. But when they understand that the danger they face is not a simple psychological panic, but a real end of the world, they will understand how necessary and timely this union is. Xie An understood what Queen Anne meant, and as a former high-level link between wizards and Muggles, she was well aware of the need for each other and the mindset of being wary of each other. This mentality will soon be suppressed in the face of a common and powerful enemy.
"Andrew, you're thinking too simply. Even if they realize the future of perdition if they don't unite, they will not compromise easily for the sake of their own persistence and in order to prove that their own set of words is the true truth. In this case, if the expectation is to establish a joint organization that can solve these problems, there is almost no chance of success. ”
Even if it is all to save the country, the battle for the route is still the most brutal internal competition, the winning side has the opportunity to implement its ideas and ambitions, and the losing side, whether it is true or the correct answer, can only be determined after the problem has completely subsided. In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to convince the other party to take the same line on their own. The cruelty of it is perhaps even more terrible than the external battle.
When it comes to the cooperation between Muggles and wizards, it becomes difficult for both sides to understand each other, and both feel that the other party is completely crazy, and in this case, the final decision-making power will probably last for a long time.
"What do you mean?" Xie An couldn't help but ask. Xie An did not have much experience in senior governance, and after the baptism of war, Xie An may be a qualified field commander, but he is definitely not a suitable leader. Xie An, who knows this well, has never forgotten to listen to other people's opinions.
"Andrew, I haven't thought of a solution to this problem for the time being. Maybe it takes an incomparably strong long-standing enemy, perhaps, a hierarchical social structure, and I've faced the same problem as before, and I've been sealed away before I can figure out a solution. I considered the end of the world that you mentioned, and at the current rate of development, maybe in a few decades, by the so-called middle of the twenty-first century, maybe there would be a war between Muggles. Queen Anne continued to look out the window, the light of the flow was like a strange river, and the taxi drove quietly in the bizarre scenery.
Xie An bowed his head slightly, a little frustrated. At this moment, the picture of hell in my mind rolled up, countless lives wailed in agony, festered miserably, and then evaporated by terrible rays.
"The sea is crossing, the world is turned upside down, maybe there is a chance. ”
"At a time when I was stuck in a time gap, I really felt like I would never get a chance to come out again. The curse Mary used was extraordinary, and the seal only grew stronger as time passed. And I, in the fault line of time, can only rely on the constant memories to remind myself that I have not gone crazy. In that darkest time, I also thought about giving up, and in that case, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of witchcraft could last forever, and I searched for all the witchcraft I knew, and there was none, none of which could last forever. In that case, I suddenly understood the nature of a wizard, as if I had seen a signpost on the path to a demigod. ”
"With this strange year, I kept thinking and finally understood the secret of magic, and finally came to this point. "A cluster of stars appeared in Queen Anne's hands, and these brilliant little stars looked indistinguishable from their counterparts in space, but in reality, the latter was several times the size of the sun, and wizards could not even imagine.
Xie An looked at Queen Anne, the queen's sudden words made Xie An puzzled, he also thought about making a plan, and then step by step, but when it was actually implemented, Xie An understood that the plan can only be used as a reference, and in reality, all kinds of strange situations will happen.
"I just wanted to remind you, Andrew, that first we have to ask the right questions!"
Empress Anne meant to remind Shea what their purpose was ultimately to stop the world from sliding into the hell that Shean saw, or to achieve eternal prosperity in the wizarding world through this method.
"We can't let others hold us back by the nose, Andrew, we need to define our goals and then start acting according to our own plans. ”
Asking the right questions is not an easy thing to sit down in. Instinctively, wizards like to ask why, but few wizards are good at logic, and they don't know that asking that question will solve the whole thing quickly.
Also faced with such a huge mystery, including why the world was plunged into war, what is the origin of the person in the apocalypse, and now Xie An is facing a dilemma due to the lack of a suitable timetable to determine if Xie An completes his plan.
In fact, Xie An is also facing such a problem, although Xie An is constantly accumulating ability, and it seems to be getting stronger day by day, but this is still not comparable to Gellert Grindelwald's wizarding army. Gellert Grindelwald wasn't stupid, the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even Merlin, who had fought with the Witch of Lefey, didn't have a perfect answer.
"Your Excellency, I need your help, with my current ability, I don't have the foresight to determine what to do!"
Queen Anne turned her gaze back from the window back into the car and smiled slightly, "It seems that Andrew has assigned me a very difficult task!"
――――――――――――
Above the North Sea, the turbid waves are raging, and although the entire Northern Hemisphere has begun to enter a warmer climate, it is still gloomy in Azkaban, the air is humid and cold, and the wizard team assigned to monitor Azkaban's movements on the periphery is patrolling not far from Azkaban.
"This damn weather, when is it the end, it hasn't rained today, I'm soaking wet, it's really uncomfortable now!"
"Me too, I feel like I'm going to catch a cold. What did you think of in the Ministry, at this time, Azkaban has become insignificant, the trace of the Dementors is difficult to find, and we are still on duty at this time, I really don't know what the Ministry is asking us to guard."
"I don't think it's as simple as you think. At the Quidditch World Cup, the Death Eaters were battered, but the atmosphere in the ministry did not appear to be relaxed in the slightest. I've encountered this atmosphere before, at a time when Voldemort was at his worst, and almost half of Britain was under the control of the Death Eaters. ”
"Hey, don't talk about those useless ones, concentrate on flying, and when the patrol is over, we can rest for a while... What's that?" Sitting on a special broomstick, a wizard suddenly pointed to Azkaban in the distance, where a white light rose into the sky, instantly illuminating half of the night sky.
Everyone looked up, the white light still hadn't dispersed, and huge magic fluctuations were also transmitted, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"Azkaban seems to have an accident, should we go over, Captain?"
The captain of this team of Aurors was a middle-aged wizard, he looked up at the white light that penetrated the sky, thought for a moment before saying, "Our duty is not shirkable, now everyone is ready to line up in a defensive formation and follow me." ”
The Aurors flew swiftly towards Azkaban, and the increasing fluctuations in their magic made the Aurors feel uneasy. The captain looked solemnly ahead and said nothing.
When he was less than 100 meters away from Azkaban, the magic fluctuations were already visible to the naked eye, and the captain took out his wand and blessed himself with armor, and the Aurors behind him ordered him to follow suit. An eerie roar came from within Azkaban.
"Captain, it seems to be the howl of a wolf, and the roar of a lion, and..." In the white light, a huge figure rushed out of Azkaban, and the Aurors could see clearly, the three-headed beast body of that monster, at first it was only the size of an ordinary lion, but after it appeared in the white light, it grew when it saw the wind, and in less than a few breaths, it was already more than ten meters tall, and it became a behemoth!
"Stand back, hurry, what kind of monster is this!" The captain hurriedly motioned for all the team members to lean back, and the lion head found the Auror team not far away, the wolf head sneered, the lion head and the leopard head roared, and at the same time spewed out cannonball-like magic bullets from their mouths, one of the Aurors was too close, and the magic bullets had hit the Aurors in the blink of an eye, and they directly evaporated the Aurors silently! The lion's attack hits with a single hit, but the leopard's attack is blocked by the captain with a spell, and the wolf's head seems to regret that the leopard's attack didn't hit, and the lion's head recharges again, as if he is about to launch the next round of attacks.
Seeing that his companions were directly vaporized, the remaining Aurors finally reacted and fled separately without hesitation.
The evil god Animagus was still in pursuit, and a gray shadow more than three meters tall also appeared in the white light, "Three-headed, don't chase, you still want to make a big deal out of it?"
"Old monster, it's hard to get out of this hellish place, don't indulge it, it's worthy of the suffering of being imprisoned for hundreds of years!"
"Isn't that more cautious, do you want to be sealed again?" I think they should be from the Ministry of Magic, and before they can react, let's leave!" said the Dementor King Urn angrily.
"Okay, okay, but where are we going now? I haven't come out for hundreds of years, and my memories of the outside world have become blurred. The wolf head nodded helplessly.
The Dementor King thought for a moment and said, "I remember last time that kid mentioned that there is a school over there, and the area around the school seems to be where wizards live, why don't we go there first and ask for news?"
"Come on, I've finally been freed from wizards, and you still want to meet other wizards?!, I think we're still going to the Muggle world, and I've heard that they're all weak, so let's find a place to hide..."
"And then? You and I are not immortal beings, we can hide anywhere in the world, but what are you going to do when we come to the end of our lives?"
"It won't be that fast, will it?" said the evil god Animagus with some unnatural expression.
"Hey, three-headed, when we are dying, what use will there be, and who will waste their magic power on us?" I have thought about it for a long time, after coming out, I will find a way to join a powerful wizard, or go it alone, in short, this time the initiative is in our hands, let's observe first, and then make a decision!" said the Dementor King.
"So you've thought it all through, don't you say it sooner! Okay, just do as you say!"
