Chapter 223: All kinds of puzzles (1)

It is no longer the category of ordinary wizards' enlargement and contraction spells, but a major event that crosses the barriers of the world and redefines the rules of magic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info It may be very easy to change from a hundred to a thousand, but to go from zero to one, it takes an unimaginable change.

Barty Jr.'s grandfather didn't use his talents for proper spatial magic, but instead spent them on soul magic, which he was not good at at all, so that he wasted decades, so it is no wonder that he would agree with his son not to accept the sect's inheritance.

From the secret room of the Crouch family's inheritance, he got the books of the Soul Sect, which included a lot of strange magic that Xie An had never heard of, from soul parasitism, to soul fusion, from splitting souls to combining memories and so on. If it weren't for Queen Anne's help, it would have taken a long time for Shea and Barty Jr. to understand these magics. Fortunately, Queen Anne soon found something useful in a large number of magic books, and from this magic book called "The Conjuring", Queen Anne found a way to wake up Mrs. Crouch.

This method requires the preparation of some magic materials, Queen Anne did not have it, and the queen could only tell Xie An to prepare.

In the morning, an owl brought in today's Daily Prophet, and the headline was about the horrors of yesterday's Quidditch World Cup. Xie An didn't have personal experience, and hastily looked at the title, "Strategize and Exterminate Most of the Death Eaters in One Fell Swoop!", with a dynamic photo of the Aurors escorting a group of Death Eaters back to the Ministry of Magic. Thank you for a hasty look, it seems to be an article from the Ministry of Magic that praises virtue. While I didn't read much of the needed news from this article, from the perspective of this hype about the positive image of the Ministry of Magic, it should still be under Fudge's control.

"Things have been arranged, I will talk to my father about the materials, and if there is nothing I will leave first. Xie An remembered that he had asked Evil Autumn Zhang to wait for him yesterday, and if he had time, he was going to watch the Quidditch World Cup with her, and the World Cup really went into a big mess, and similarly, his own affairs were not solved smoothly, but fortunately, in the middle of the night, Count Li had already notified through the doll that the girls were not injured, and it was very good, so Xie An did not rush to see Qiu and the others.

"Well, Andrew, you have to hurry up, I think Crouch's lady's soul is already very weak, and it is best to solve it in these days. Queen Anne said.

"If we have all these materials at home, I think we should be able to collect them by tonight at the latest. After all, the Li family does not have deep roots in the magic world, and if some materials are really rare, I am afraid it will take a long time. Xie An nodded and said.

"As for you, Mr. Crouch, I suppose you need to rest now as well to prepare for the wake ceremony later. If the materials go well, it will be done tonight. Little Barty nodded and asked, "Mother's body has decayed, once awakened, how will her soul survive?"

"This awakening is only temporary, and your mother's soul will not leave the soul gem until a suitable container is found. Once she is able to actively absorb the travel energy around her, we have plenty of time to prepare a suitable container to bring your mother back to life. Queen Anne said to Barty Jr.

Xie Ann went directly from the teleportation passage opened by Queen Anne to the fireplace of her London apartment. Empress Anne was able to communicate with the Ministry of Magic's Floo network, and directly opened the passage and sent Shea Ann to London.

Xie Ann came out of the fireplace and was surprised to see Hermione, Cho Chang, Luna, Ginny, Harry Potter, and the others all there.

"Andrew, you're finally back, where were you last night?" asked Penelo Crivat first.

Xie An looked at the crowd and saw that except for Harry, who was slightly injured, no one seemed to be out of the ordinary. Qiu Zhang looked at herself in surprise, it seemed that she had forgiven her for not showing up for the appointment on time yesterday.

"Penelope, you're all okay, aren't you hurt? I heard that the Death Eaters attacked the Quidditch World Cup yesterday, and it looks like you weren't hurt?" asked Shayne.

"Andrew, what you see is not the truth, now that I think about it, I feel scared, yesterday we were through something very scary. We've met not only Death Eaters, but werewolves, vampires, and trolls! If it weren't for the teamwork, you might not be able to see me today. Hermione said with some excitement.

Shayne looked at Hermione's somewhat dirty clothes, and the smoky ash marks on her face, and knew that she must have had a very rich adventure yesterday. It's a pity that Xie An, as a doomsday warrior, has been hovering on the edge of life and death many times, and has shown an incomprehensible cold attitude towards such things.

"I can imagine what you're doing right now, I think you should have a glass of milk and rest as soon as possible. "The battle of the end will never stop, Xie An has long been accustomed to dealing silently from one battle of life and death to another, but when he said this to his friend, everyone looked at each other.

"Andrew, you don't seem to care about us, do you already know?" asked Ginny bluntly.

Xie An was slightly stunned, only to realize that they were still a group of children, and it was the first time to experience such a battle, and the unreality of excitement would make their views on affairs change drastically. But it takes time, obviously less than a night, and they're still excited.

"No, Ginny, you're mistaken. After a fierce fight, I know you're excited right now, but calm down. You probably haven't had a night's rest. Now eat something and get some rest, and when you wake up, we'll talk about it, what do you think?" Xie An smiled and said to Ginny.

"Andrew, you think the same way as me, I wanted to rest for a while. Harry said.

"Well, then I'll let the kitchen make some breakfast first, milk and toast should be fine. Eat some and then go rest. There are plenty of rooms here. You can choose the one you like. ā€

Soon, the elf made enough breakfast for several people, and everyone ate a little casually, Xie An accompanied him all the time, and Penelo Criwatt wanted to ask Xie An questions several times, Xie An smiled and signaled to her, and waited until she was done.

After arranging a room for a few people, telling them that they could wash up indoors, and if they lacked anything, they could tell the elf, or go to the living room to find themselves, Xie An returned to the living room alone, and the elf Victor was cleaning up, "Where did Dad go?

"Young master, the master is still in the Ministry of Magic, this operation is not a success, the Quidditch World Cup has been completely destroyed, I heard that the Ministry of Magic is deliberating, whether to hold another final. ā€

Xie An nodded noncommittally, then picked up the milk on the table and drank a little. After thinking about it, he asked, "Victor, have you received any news from Elder Dora, what does the elf think about last night's events?" Xie An had already heard about the chaos within the wizards, and he was not even optimistic about the so-called big plan of the Ministry of Magic. Long before the magic arranged all the traps, Xie An had already vaguely deduced from various sources that this was a premeditated gamble by Minister Fudge, and if successful, it would not only stabilize the minister's throne, but also deal a heavy blow to the Death Eaters in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that no matter how good or bad this method is, it is a civil war within the wizard, Xie An has no intention of paying attention to these things, what he cares about is the entire magical world, how not to be shrouded by the shadow of destruction.

"No, Elder Dora didn't contact me. However, it is reported that it seems that an important doppelganger of the Dark Lord was destroyed in this battle, and it seems that for a while, the Dark Lord will no longer be able to influence Wizarding Britain. The elf said.

"What? one of Voldemort's doppelgangers has been eliminated, what's going on, do you have detailed information?" Xie An hurriedly asked. The rule of the Ministry of Magic is based on power, and the most important department of the Ministry of Magic is the Aurors. Xie An does not have much affection for the Ministry of Magic, if Voldemort really can't reappear for a long time, then soon the Death Eater organization will fall apart, and at that time, a centralized Ministry of Magic will not be of the slightest benefit to Xie An.

"The news is confusing, and some say that the one in the Quidditch World Cup is the Dark Lord's doppelganger, and after being eliminated by Dumbledore, the Dark Lord has completely disappeared. But from our elves' sources, it seems that there was an extremely fierce battle at the address of the Dark Lord's father, which is the origin of the original Gaunt family. The magic fluctuations produced far exceed the movements of ordinary wizard duels. Earlier, we had arranged for someone to go and see it, and the Dark Lord's father's Riddle Manor was completely gone. ā€

"Completely gone? A manor completely gone? What does it mean?" Xie An asked as he thought about it.

"I don't know too much, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the messenger said that Riddle Manor had been shoveled off the ground by something, leaving only a bare piece of land. And the whole village of Muggles is gone!"

"Even Muggles have disappeared?Something seems wrong, how could it be like this?" In Xie An's opinion, Voldemort's strength is definitely among the best in the entire wizarding world. Except for demigods like Queen Anne, ordinary wizards should not be able to defeat Voldemort easily. But Riddle Manor completely disappeared at this time, and after the Great War, as a manor with Voldemort's complex feelings, there was no reason to destroy the manor if Voldemort was victorious.

The magic of the elves is special, and the manor cannot still be in place, so the only explanation is that the manor was really completely destroyed, and there was not even a trace left.

"Then those Muggles, isn't there any indication of where they went?" Xie An continued to ask as he thought quickly.

"No, I've heard Muggles from the surrounding villages say that there was a lot of fog in the village a few weeks ago, and they haven't seen anyone in the village for a long time. ā€

"Fog, strange, strange, Dumbledore never left Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Elder Dora told me personally. Then the fog must be Voldemort's arrangement. But in the end, Voldemort is very likely to be defeated, is there anything else that Dumbledore has never shown?" Xie An certainly wouldn't have imagined that Dumbledore had formed an alliance with his enemies from a long time ago, and with the help of Gellert Grindelwald's spell, he had eliminated Voldemort's main soul in one fell swoop.

Xie An didn't know much about Gellert Grindelwald in the first place, and some of the information was completely hearsay, at this time, he couldn't help but feel puzzled by the strange defeat of Voldemort and the strange fact that the wizarding world was still under the firm rule of the Ministry of Magic.

"Young master, there is not a single Muggle village to be seen, and I am afraid that soon the Muggle Aurors will find out, and when the time comes, the Ministry of Magic may have to take a lot of effort to investigate this matter. The lord may be able to know the secret. ā€

"Well, you're right. Dad should have made a great contribution to helping Minister Fudge this time, maybe he can become a deputy minister. Xie An smiled slightly, suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and thought about it before asking, "Did Lucius Malfoy participate in the terrorist attack at this time?"

"No, there are reliable sources for this news, there are more than a dozen elite Death Eaters who did not go to the Quidditch World Cup at all, but were ambushed on the periphery of Riddle Manor. ā€

"It turns out that Voldemort also arranged a backhand, so what about Lucius Malfoy and them? can't they be caught, right?" Xie An thought that there must be a lot of pure-blood families to suffer this time, maybe he could find a way to control a few pure-blood families.

You must know that pure-blood families generally have a wealth of gold galleons that have been passed down from generation to generation, as well as inheritance magic. Like sectarian inheritance, these inheritance spells have been passed down from generation to generation in the ancient magical era, and many spells are extremely powerful, such as the Weasley family's bat spell, which Xie An is still working on.

These ancient inheritance spells are priceless treasures, and they are also extremely strictly protected by pure-blood families, and it is undoubtedly whimsical to want to obtain them easily. If you can take advantage of this terrorist attack and control several pure-blood families who have been implicated, you may be able to have unexpected gains.

"They're all missing!" Victor's words made Xie An stunned.

"All missing?"

"Yes, the elves have determined that many of the masters have not returned, and until now, they have not returned home. ā€

"It's so weird!" Xie An couldn't help but shake his head again, the things in here were too weird, reminiscent of this morning's Daily Prophet. It seems to have been reported that many Death Eaters were caught and killed, but nothing was mentioned about Voldemort, nor of any prominent family wizards. If these were all plans of Dumbledore and Fudge, then as long as Fudge made these announcements, he would not only be able to secure his ministerial throne, but he would also be able to win a lot of support for a while. But why didn't Fudge instruct the Daily Prophet, the official newspaper, to disclose the news?

Xie An didn't know that at this time, Dumbledore had already formed an alliance with Gellert Grindelwald, and the Minister of Magic, Fudge, had become a dispensable pawn!

"Do we have a subscription to the Daily Prophet, give me a copy, I want to see it. "I didn't really look at Queen Anne's in the morning, and I was thinking about Cho Chang and Hermione, so I just skimmed it at a glance. Now, after hearing all the news, the front-page headline of the Daily Prophet seems to be not simply a celebration of virtue and propaganda for Fudge to retain the ministerial throne, but has become a specious and subtle hint.

The elf waved his hand to summon a copy of the Daily Prophet, Xie An took it, and was about to read it, when a gentle voice came: "Andrew, are you busy now?"

Xie An didn't have to look back, he knew that it was autumn. Sure enough, Qiu Cong slowly walked behind Xie An, bypassed the back of the chair, and wrapped his hands around Xie An's neck.

"What's the matter, Qiu, haven't you rested? You've been here before, that room is still your previous room, aren't you used to it?" Xie An's body stiffened slightly.

"No, I just can't sleep, Luna doesn't seem to be able to sleep either, she came to talk to me, and after a few words, she actually fell asleep, envying her. Qiu said softly and slowly.

I don't know that the girl showed her weak side at this time, Xie An, who was in need of her boyfriend's care, didn't understand Qiu's thoughts for a while, so she had to follow Qiu's words and said: "Luna is too simple, she thinks about less. ā€

When the girl heard her boyfriend comment on her childhood sweetheart's classmates, she said with some envy: "You really know each other, Luna said that you are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and you say that she is innocent and simple." ā€

"Yes? I never did, I never noticed. Are you really not sleepy, if you are sleepy, I can sleep with you. Qiu's soft body leaned on Xie An's back, and Xie An hurriedly sat forward to make Qiu more comfortable.

"Will you sleep with me, and if you will, carry me back to your room." Qiu said with a smile.

"Okay. "At this time, there are no outsiders in the whole apartment, and it is very quiet. For the first time, he hugged Qiu in the posture of a princess, looking at her smiling and happy, Xie An suddenly felt that the hellish wail in his mind had a moment of tranquility.
