Chapter 162: The Attack of Barty Crouch II
Xie An could feel that the other party did not have much killing intent, and the possibility of such magic being able to cause harm to Xie An was very small. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Now some of the weapons except for you, or fragmented, or petrified spells, are all very ridiculous to understand spells.
Defence Against the Dark Arts theory tells wizards that a young wizard who knows the Curse and uses it on an adult wizard will not hurt the wizard much, and that if a wizard does not understand the rules or special requirements required for the spell, or if he does not have enough magic, then the damage he can do will be greatly reduced.
It's very difficult to understand at this point that you have no weapons. It would be naïve to think that you can defeat all the dark wizards as long as you master this powerful disarming spell. Aside from your weapon, despite its clever design and prioritization, such a spell can do very little damage to powerful dark wizards. For the Dark Lord, it wasn't for special rules that he could easily make the spell not work on him. Also for Xie An, by now, with a little understanding of the rules of magic, he can also be immune to some elementary magic to a certain extent.
For Queen Anne, this is even more incredible. Queen Anne was almost immune to ordinary elementary magic, and for such a powerful witch, magic was no longer a simple accumulation of time, but became an instinct, or a part of the body. Xie An had never seen such a powerful ancient wizard. Perhaps, as Queen Anne said, the current wizarding civilization has fallen too far behind. The so-called sorcery mastered by these sorcerers is incredibly rudimentary compared to the sorcery mastered by the ancient sorcerers.
Queen Anne can directly turn the space behind one of her doors into a small world through space magic, this kind of magic is different from any magic Xie An has ever seen, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
Until now, Xie An still couldn't see how this magic worked. Maybe only the complete magic array on the six pages of the book can be compared to this kind of magic. After such a long period of accumulation, Queen Anne's understanding of magic has gone beyond the category of ordinary wizards.
If Mary I, who had banished Queen Anne in the first place, was still alive, then the battle between the two witches would surely update everyone's understanding of the wizard's combat prowess.
Xie An had already cultivated the power of doom, and with the continuous research and fusion over the years, the power of doom had become a part of his body. And the constant attempts to fuse the power of the end with the magic of the doomsday, and finally the fusion of the magic of the end of the world, in the London Fire Lake incident, to the maximum use. This terrifying fusion magic, so far, nothing has been found that can resist its destructive power.
Also through the London Lagoon incident, Xie An understands the power of another kind of magic, that is, the time magic of banishing Queen Anne. In fact, Xie An only played the role of a spell release in the whole incident, and most of the operation of the magic power, as well as the completion of the entire fire lake, were the result of the interaction of the two powerful spell arrays.
The sealing spell that banished Queen Anne, and the spell used by Xie An who extracted the time magic of the entire magic array, the interaction between the two spell arrays directly made the entire war spell many times more powerful. In such a situation, a huge crater appeared in a place where there was no magma and volcanic eruption conditions, which has to be said to be an incredible miracle.
With such a powerful magical power, it will be difficult to be satisfied if you don't have a better understanding of magic. The Dark Lord, though irascible and untamable, has a pathological opposition to authority, but he clearly has a talent for magic that no one else can match. The Dark Lord can fly, something that many wizards haven't thought of for hundreds of years.
However, Gellert Grindelwald looked down on the Dark Lord for the simple reason that he believed that the Dark Lord was still a child, lacking rigorous research and systematic knowledge of magic.
The Dark Lord of Europe gave up his quest for secular power and returned to magic itself, the master of the magic itself, not the king of this wizarding kingdom.
Gellert Grindelwald has achieved so far, I am afraid most wizards can't imagine, and Dumbledore, the Dark Lord, and some other top wizards at the top of the entire wizarding pyramid, have not taken this step.
In terms of space magic, Gellert Grindelwald and the ability to break through the barriers of space, to a certain extent, travel between different dimensions, such a powerful ability makes Gellert Grindelwald himself disappointed in the entire wizarding world. Seeing a bigger future, Gellert Grindelwald no longer needed to stay in the narrow wizarding world of Europe.
In terms of time, Gellert Grindelwald is hungry for the secrets of time travel, and he has mobilized all his strength to pursue the secrets of Mordred, hoping to learn the true secrets of time travel through this wizard from the past.
In terms of the whole time process, from the middle of the closed loop, whether forward or backward, will eventually reach the beginning of time, that is, if Gellert Grindelwald can really travel at will, then he can take more safe measures and directly set the time after the destruction of the whole world, the time after the time restarts, and then act as the new creator in the new world.
Such a terrible ambition is certainly not something that can be achieved by any earthly power, not even a single life, or the life of a wizard for hundreds of years. All wizards with great dreams crave mastery of time.
Queen Anne told Shea that for a junior wizard like Shea, she was almost immortal.
Of course, it was very frustrating to learn this, but the shock that followed made Xie An lose sleep for a long time. If a wizard can be eternal, then what else can't he do?
With this in mind, Xie An became curious about the magic itself. Because according to Queen Anne, the only power that sustains her long life is magic.
It sounds crazy and magical in itself.
Returning to the matter in front of him, Xie An cautiously defended against the enemy's attack over and over again, and quickly thought about the enemy's origin. Xie An has always kept a low profile at Hogwarts School, and the only person with deep contradictions is Cedric Diggory, but Cedric Diggory himself is more upright, and he may not have reached this level yet, and Cedric Diggory's family is not too strong, so the contradictions in Hogwarts School can be ruled out.
As for Draco Malfoy, Shea had already received some information from Lord Earl, that the Dark Lord seemed to have made Malfoy's Manor his headquarters after taking Professor Shekiro, and that the Malfoy family now had little autonomy, and such a ridiculous temptation was not like the style of a Death Eater.
Then the biggest possibility is that the Aurors have further investigated the London Fire Lake incident, and at this time, Andrew Lee, a student at the small Hogwarts school, has become suspicious, and wants to test Xie An's true strength in this way. You know, in the wizarding world, Andrew Lee may not be Andrew Lee for a long time, it may be a dark wizard who became through polyjuice potion, or a dark wizard who is controlled through black magic, and it is possible that Andrew Lee himself has a problem.
All kinds of possibilities can happen in the wizarding world. During Xie An's time at St. Mungo's Hospital, he saw wizards who thought they were dead, and wizards who thought they were teapots, wizards who had their memories altered in various ways, or who had problems in their heads, and who would do incomprehensible things. Wizards with great power are themselves in great danger, and at any moment they can completely lose themselves and fall into terrible chaos.
This was true for Barty Jr., who attacked Shea.
Under the attack, although the wand was not his own and could not exert the strongest magic power, the strength displayed by Andrew Lee still made little Barty a little unbelievable. It was just a second-year wizard, not a Death Eater, not an Auror, who not only failed to take down the little wizard by his own sneak attack, but was almost hit by his spell.
Barty Jr. changed a few more spells, and the spell streaked through the air in a beautiful trajectory, but judging by Andrew Lee's relaxed reaction, it seemed that he couldn't do any damage to him at all.
"All petrified!" After firing another petrification spell, Barty Jr. had confirmed that this so-called Kirin Wizard mastered spells that were definitely not below him, and he might even have surpassed him, you must know that he was at least a former Death Eater, and this Kirin Wizard was only a second-year student.
Also making Barty Crouch II a little nervous was the beautiful lady standing not far behind Shea. The lady couldn't tell how old she was, and the only thing that could tell her identity was her mature dress. The lady had been smiling and watching the two fight from beginning to end, without any panic or impatience, as if she had been watching two kittens and puppies fight under the cloister in the afternoon. The noblewoman was always able to lock on to her position as soon as she had completed her apparition, and if it was a battle between Barty Jr., it would mean that Barty Jr. would have been hit several times if he could apparition.
Xie An drew a simple trajectory with the Fuso wooden staff, and little Barty's spell was knocked out.
"Alright, Kirin Wizard, you've proven your strength, and I think we can talk. Barty Jr. stopped his attack and shouted loudly. He knew that he couldn't follow the original plan and take down the Qilin Wizard, and that noble lady gave him the feeling that he could easily control himself.
Xie An frowned, there were very few wizards who knew their Qilin Wizard title, and almost all of them were those who really cared about them. This title is only popular among elves, and there should be no news from the Ministry of Magic and Death Eaters. Now a wizard suddenly called himself by this title, which made Xie An, who pursued a low-key approach, instinctively vigilant. "What do you say, I don't understand. Xie An didn't admit it, and responded coldly.
"Kirin Wizard, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. I took the liberty to visit when my elf mentioned your name, so don't get me wrong. As a disciple of the family, Barty Jr. spoke in a polite and arrogant tone.
"What's the matter with you?" Hearing the other party mention house-elves, Xie An knew that denial might not be of any use, the strange thing is that wizard families with house-elves are generally prominent families in the wizarding world, and any action they take will affect the relevant families, such a visit that starts with a magic battle is indeed very abrupt. Xie An hadn't heard the Earl mention any pure-blood family at all, and he intended to sincerely cooperate with the Li family.
"Before we say anything more about our request, I want to make sure of one thing, can you deal with the Dementors?" asked Barty Jr., a little nervous.
Xie Anxin moved, this question is a bit tricky, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the London Fire Lake incident, so what does this wizard mean?
"You're from that family, why are you asking this question? It's common sense that any wizard who has mastered the Patronus spell can deal with Dementors. Xie Jiafei didn't seem to understand, and replied casually.
"Oh, sorry, forgot to introduce yourself. Normally, my name can't be in public, but since I'm visiting today with such a purpose, knowing my real name is also a must, but I think the Kirin Wizard will definitely help me keep this secret. Little Barty looked at Xie An with some expectation. Xie thought for a moment before nodding.
"Barty Crouch II. Little Barty clearly said his name, and then stared at Xie An, trying to see something from Xie An's face, but he was disappointed, and Xie An was still expressionless.
Perhaps Lord Earl, or any wizard who cares more about wizarding British politics, would know the name, but for Sheaan, he didn't even know the Crouch family, let alone Barty Crouch's son, the most famous Death Eater of all.
As for Queen Anne, these wizards are like children, and she doesn't say anything.
The bland attitude of the two towards their names made little Barty a little surprised, he could actually be counted as a fugitive, and when he heard his name, he didn't react, which made little Barty slightly embarrassed.
Xie An was expressionless, as if waiting for Barty Jr.'s further explanation. After guessing that the other party might not have heard any information about him, Barty Jr. had to reluctantly add: "Actually, I am a fugitive from Azkaban, a former Death Eater." ”
This sentence made Xie An react slightly, and he frowned slightly. At this point, Shea had no desire to make contact with the Death Eaters or the Ministry of Magic. He has too many secrets, and with the help of Queen Anne, Xie An doesn't need to join any forces at this time, and he can develop independently.
"Azkaban is now under the control of the Dementors, did you take that opportunity to escape?" Xie An asked coldly.
The two were not far away, Xie An could not see any traces of ordinary little Barty being tortured, he was handsome in appearance, well-dressed, not very thin, although there were sometimes unclear movements in his eyes, but in general, he was normal, not much different from those ordinary wizards. If Azkaban's is as terrifying as the legend suggests, this fugitive is in a bit of a good state.
"No, it's not like that. Before telling my story, I ask you to answer my previous question, can you deal with the Dementors, and I mean the large number of Dementors. "Patronuses can deal with Dementors, but to a limited extent. It's like a requisition spell that kills a wizard, but only one wizard at a time. Ordinary Patronus can drive away those feared Dementors, but for the Dementors of Azkaban, they are used to the resistance of wizards, and they are well aware of the vulnerability of poor wizards, and they have a way to deal with those who can cast Patronus, so in general, Patronus can rarely deal with more than three Dementors at the same time.
"No, you can't. I can deal with up to three Dementors. Xie An said coldly. Without using the power of the apocalypse, dealing with three Dementors was indeed Xie An's limit. But if he could use Doomsday Magic, Xie An could deal with Dementors the same way he would with ordinary enemies, and in that case, he could kill as many as he wanted.
When Queen Anne heard the name of the Dementor, she was slightly stunned, she walked to Xie An's side and asked in a crisp voice, "What kind of thing is a Dementor?"
Little Barty looked at Queen Anne a little strangely, and there were people who didn't know about the Dementors, wasn't this witch an English wizard?
"The Dementor is a monster that feeds on the happy memories of wizards, well, as far as I know, a very sophisticated creature of the dark arts, and some of its secrets can be told to you later. Xie An said the first half of the sentence himself, and the second half of the sentence directly asked the dementor consciousness body parasitic on his body to tell Queen Anne.
Queen Anne glanced at Xie An in surprise, that transparent voice reminded her of an ancient magic, this ancient magic, Queen Anne had only heard of, but had not seen, a terrifying magic that could directly seal the soul of a wizard. This witchcraft that enslaves the soul is one of the darkest forms of witchcraft, and the powerful soul wizard known to Queen Anne has her enemy: Mary I.
Although Mary is the adopted daughter of Queen Anne, Anne is a descendant of another wizarding sect. Mary's wizarding sect advocates breaking away from the limitations of wizards themselves and becoming demigods. They have some amazing achievements in so-called soul magic. But this study of the soul of a sorcerer has desecrated God's ownership of any living soul. This kind of pure heresy was considered the most terrible cult by the church at that time, and the church almost did its best to fight against Mary's wizarding sect, and for this reason, an extremely bloody war broke out between the two forces. I heard that after she was exiled, Mary also opened the killing ring for this, which directly led to a head-on conflict between wizarding England and the entire church.
