Chapter 178: Arrival in Azkaban

The gray sky of Azkaban was not the slightest bit animated, and the icy air made the wizards feel extremely uncomfortable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Hanks took his wand and looked at the buildings in the distance a little tiredly, "This ghost weather is too different from Miami, I really want to go to Miami now." Hanks' complaint upset the other witch, who bent her wand slightly, as if to test its flexibility. Wizards from the Americas will be tasked with keeping Azkaban on guard duty to prevent Azkaban's Dementors from attacking the Quidditch World Cup.

A silver-white flame floated quietly in the air, little Barty looked nervously at the flower-like flame in front of him, Xie An had already taken out the two wands, constantly shaping the flames with the poplar staff, and infusing the magic with the Fusang wooden staff.

"Can your Patronus be summoned now? You seemed to have a hard time when we were in Hogsmeade, and now if you can summon it successfully, if not, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble." I'm not going to risk my life, I'm trying to protect you while I search for soul gems. Xie An asked.

"Yes, I reconfirmed yesterday that I can now confirm that I can summon a Patronus, and although I am a Slytherin, I have no problem summoning a Patronus. Barty Jr. said.

"Can't Slytherin summon a Patronus?" asked Shayne a little strangely.

"Of course you can, but I don't know why, recently in Slytherin, there is a legend that it seems that Slytherin is evil, and summoning Patronus to make them look not so cool. I think you're a Hogwarts student, and you should know that Slytherin students rarely display their ability to summon Patronus, as if that makes them an outlier. Barty Jr. explained. I don't know when Slytherin seems to have become another name for the Death Eaters. The wizards believed that Slytherin had no happy memories, and that it was impossible for them to summon a Patronus and make them use unforgivable spells, which was the strength of Slytherin students.

Of course, Xie An didn't know this, in his opinion, it was extremely stupid and ridiculous to distinguish between good and bad students according to the academy, which was like thinking that a wizard who grew black was a dark wizard. Among the wizards that Shean knew, even a traditional Slytherin like Draco Malfoy would be saddened by the disappearance of his friend.

"Well, I see, as long as your magic can protect yourself, I think we should have no problem. Although the wizards from the Americas have some trouble, Queen Anne has already helped us figure it out, as long as we follow the plan, I don't think there should be too much of a problem. I'll have to try the Flying Spell first, and if I could, maybe it would save me a lot of trouble. Xie An said as he cast a flying spell with a poplar staff: "Soul Gem flying!"

There was no reaction, and Xie An didn't feel anything flying towards him. "Sure enough, I don't know anything about soul gems, and I haven't seen it before, I thought you could give it a try, maybe the flying spell can help a little. "Xie An has never seen a soul gem, and if he wants to summon this gem, he will obviously not succeed, but little Barty has seen it, maybe let him give it a try.

Barty cast the Flying Spell with his new wand, and there were no soul gems flying in again. "I have some sense, the gem is in Azkaban, but this sense is too weak, it seems to be far away, and it seems to be at the bottom of Azkaban. ”

"It's better than you think, Azkaban doesn't even have such defenses, you can sense it, it's already good. Well, as long as we're sure the gems are still there, we'll have a chance to get them. I'm going to get ready soon, and you'll have to keep an eye on it for a while, so you don't let anyone find out about it. Once this flame is extinguished, I will have to return immediately, and then the opportunity will fail. At this time, the silver-white flame had turned into a very small one, and Xie An used the Fusang wooden staff to cast a spell on the flame: "Protector of the Emperor Mother of Heli!",

The silver flame swayed for a while, and a flame the size of a grain of rice separated from the main flame and slowly floated to Xie An's head, then the second, the third, and the fourth, after the main flame was separated from more than half of its power, a full nine flames the size of a grain of rice surrounded Xie An's head, and Xie An's head was like an extra magical crown.

Xie An didn't pay much attention to these, he glanced at Little Barty, Little Barty nodded solemnly, Xie An rode on the flying broomstick and slowly flew out of the Demon Pattern Formation.

After casting the invisibility spell, Xie An completely melted into the air, but the nine rice-like flames were still floating quietly in the air, this kind of protective flame could not be hidden, Xie An wanted to cast a transformation spell on them, and tried several times without success.

The guardian magic taught by Queen Anne is different from the Patronus magic. Xie An can't cast the Patronus magic now, which has a lot to do with his doomsday power, the Kawanashi Emperor Mother Guardian Spell that Queen Anne taught Xie An has a great effect on some magical creatures that have no entity, although it can't be the same as the Patronus, complete a very complex task, but in terms of guards, this spell is much more stable and powerful than the Patronus.

After making sure that the silver-white flames like grains of rice were not very conspicuous in such weather, Xie An gave up his attempt to continue the transformation, and he controlled the light wheel broomstick to fly quickly towards the island where Azkaban was.

Azkaban is surrounded by extremely powerful defensive spells, which not only make Azkaban unable to be located, detected, and marked, but also ensure that Azkaban cannot be apparitioned, unable to use a portkey, unable to fly through simple spells, and various prohibitions ensure that criminal wizards cannot easily escape from this hell, coupled with the terrifying abilities of Dementors, ordinary wizards in such an environment, there is indeed no other way except to wait for death.

The rapid flight caused Xie An to quickly lose his body temperature, but fortunately he had prepared the potion, and after Azkaban paused for a moment to drink the potion, Xie An felt his whole body become warm. This potion containing dragon blood works so well that it is in the Earl's personal collection.

The top floor of Azkaban was empty, Xie An didn't know how the Dementors detected the wizards, at this time Xie An fell on the top floor of the prison, the wizards from the Americas didn't find Xie An, and the Dementors didn't know where to go at this time.

"Help me see if we can go down. Xie An seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to the Dementor Consciousness.

After stripping the Dementor Consciousness from the Dementor, this magical consciousness has been living around Xie An, and Xie An does not know what kind of creature it is. It wasn't until that time that Xie An showed the Dementor consciousness body to Queen Anne that Queen Anne explained the possible secret to Xie An.

It turns out that the consciousness of this dementor is not an ordinary soul, nor is it a common ghost, but a part of the life of the wizard that the dark wizard has preserved through extremely cruel magic. This kind of cruel magic Xie An can't understand at all, it seems that he used extremely complex transfiguration and psychic magic to completely turn a wizard into a transparent and memorable chaotic state, and then sealed them into the body of the Dementor, becoming the core of the Dementor.

Xie An didn't have any concept of this kind of magic, in his opinion, such an ability seemed to be something that could only be achieved by a kind of doomsday technology, but Xie An didn't know what this kind of dementor consciousness was, at least now Xie An couldn't understand it. Queen Anne's explanation only made Xie An more confused. The Empress didn't want to say much about this either, she just told Xie An that this Dementor Consciousness Body was very useful to him.

Commanding the Dementor consciousness body to leave his body and slowly float into Azkaban, Xie An still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

――――――――

Dumbledore sighed softly as he watched Severus Snape's back disappear into the hallway. At this time, the Quidditch World Cup has begun. If the Dark Lord is ready to do something, then this must be the perfect time: what could scare wizards more than announcing the Dark Lord's return at the World Cup!

Things were so unexpected. During this time, the unexpected events that occurred brought more and more pressure on Dumbledore. Time was running out, and although Dumbledore had expected the Dark Lord to return, he had not expected it to happen so quickly. Dumbledore wasn't ready, he hadn't found enough information or power to destroy the Dark Lord once and for all.

Voldemort doesn't rest, and neither can Dumbledore. Even though he used the time turner to buy a few extra hours every day, Dumbledore still felt like he wasn't running out of time. In addition to the Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald was even more worried about Dumbledore! After meeting Gellert Grindelwald several times, Dumbledore was almost certain that Gellert Grindelwald had gained new powers, more powerful than before, and that he could not only defeat himself, but even defeat Voldemort!

Dumbledore knew that he was old, and the power of time put him at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with the Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald was about the same age as himself, and because of his long-term practice of violent dark magic, Gellert Grindelwald's health was even worse than his own. However, after the last few meetings, Dumbledore was certain that Gellert Grindelwald had recovered some of his life, and he seemed to be getting younger!

Dumbledore had only felt such a change in one wizard: Nicol Lemay. With the help of the Philosopher's Stone, Nicol can always regain some life at the right time. Every time Nicol was about to leave this world, Dumbledore could always feel an infusion of life force from Nicol. Dumbledore attributed this miraculous rejuvenation to the Philosopher's Stone.

With this reasoning, Dumbledore almost suspected that Gellert Grindelwald had stolen the Philosopher's Stone.

Dumbledore had no way to be distracted to confirm this period, the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord had occupied almost all of Dumbledore's time, and even then, Dumbledore still had no way to determine what kind of secret weapon the Dark Lord would use against this Quidditch World Cup.

Dumbledore, standing alone on the tower, looked a little old and lonely at this time.

The wooden staircase creaked, and Dumbledore didn't look back, and a large black dog appeared at the top of the staircase. After a while, the big dog turned into an emaciated middle-aged wizard.

"Are you here? Did you meet Severus Snape? Dumbledore didn't look back, but whispered.

"Did the slug just leave? I don't want to meet him. Sirius replied dissatisfied.

"Severus Snape is still useful. It's been a good time, and I'm able to leave Azkaban and live at Hogwarts. Dumbledore continued.

"Not bad, but it's boring. If it weren't for your request, I would have left England a long time ago. Bella, it's okay this time. Sirius stood to Dumbledore's right, also holding on to the railing, looking into the distance.

Hogwarts School has arranged a two-day break for students for the Quidditch World Cup, and if the competition is not very intense, then maybe two days will be enough time for the game to end. If something else happens, and the game takes a week or even half a month, then Hogwarts School will have to let the students go back to school on time.

Being able to give students two days off is already a special care.

"I was a little surprised to ask about Bellatrix Black. Haven't you always been at odds, and I thought you'd care more about Hallie Black. Dumbledore said.

"Hallie was there for me every day and there was nothing to worry about. Bella, she wasn't like that before. During my time in Azkaban, I suddenly understood a lot of things. I don't know why, I used to hate Bella's feelings, but now I've become a little nostalgic. Sirius said with some distraction.

In an environment like Azkaban, a family affection is naturally precious. Even Bella herself, after seeing Halle Black, couldn't help but shed tears. If it weren't for the Dark Lord, Bella could have had a clichΓ©, but peaceful life.

"I see. Dumbledore was slightly stunned for a moment, the appearance of his sister passed through his mind, Dumbledore quickly regained his composure, and he continued: "Tonight is dangerous, I want you to gather all the members of the Order of the Phoenix now, tell them, gather together, and be ready to fight at any time." I don't think Voldemort will miss this opportunity to create terror, and he will definitely declare his horror to all wizards at the Quidditch World Cup!"
