Chapter 20: Sealing the Demon Wave
Lilith said with emotion, "I am both a succubus and a forest elf...... It is my duty to protect the forests. β
When Zhang Hao heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He nodded and said, "In that case, then you can go! β
Lilith just nodded slightly, and left the place through the apparition.
Zhang Hao then returned to Hogwarts, and he immediately found Dumbledore and told him what happened in the Albanian Forest.
Finally, he concluded: "My guess is that it is probably what Professor Lolana calls the 'Kuroshio' β it is already here!"
By this time, Old Deng Tou was in no mood to blame Zhang Hao for leaving the castle during school.
If the 'Kuroshio' really comes to this land, everything that is not relevant will have to be put aside.
"Minerva, please get Professor Lolana here, we need to hear her opinion. Old Deng Tou leaned on the table and said, "I hope the matter is not so serious." β
Professor McGonagall glanced at Zhang Hao, turned and left the principal's office.
A short time later, Professor Lolana arrived.
"Professor Lorana, Minerva must have told you about it, right?" Dumbledore asked solemnly, "Do you think that black fog is the Black Tide?"
"I think so," Lorana said nervously, "if there's that kind of black fog, then we really should take a look." Once the Kuroshio Currents begin to spread, it will be very difficult to stop them, and I am worried that the animals contaminated by the Kuroshio will leave the forest, and the Kuroshio will spread even faster. β
Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said decisively, "Without further ado, Mr. Zhang Hao, please take us to the place where the black fog was discovered immediately." β
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "We need to go to a place where we can change shapes, how about Hogsmeade Village?"
"There it is!"
......
After some twists and turns, Zhang Hao finally took Dumbledore and Lorana to the place where the black fog was discovered.
"The black fog has spread...... At least more than ten meters!" Zhang Hao said with a solemn face: "When I left, the black fog had not yet spread to that location. β
He still remembered the location of the edge of the black fog before, and it hadn't been an hour yet!
"It's the Kuroshio!" said Lolana, with palpitations, "I will never forget this evil force, it is eroding everything!"
The crystal ball in her hand shimmered purple, the same color as the robe on her body.
This color looked noble and mysterious, and it made the witch even more beautiful, but she could not care about her beauty at the moment, because something more important occupied her heart.
"And what should we do?" Dumbledore asked, "Any suggestions?"
Even the most powerful wizards in the world have to be cautious about unfamiliar forces.
"Let's go in and see," Lorana said firmly, "you must be mentally prepared for anyone to be corrupted by the forces of darkness. The closer you are to the source, the greater the force of erosion...... No one in our world has come close to the source of the Kuroshio Currentβthe black fog there is so thick!"
Zhang Hao thought about it for a moment and said, "Maybe you should wait, I want to try to see if I can seal these black mist." β
"Seal?" Rolana asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Hao raised his hand and said, "Wait a while, it won't be long before you know." β
As he finished speaking, he began to pull equipment out of his pocket, and the first thing that appeared was a large metal jar the height of an adult.
This jar is a bit like a rice cooker, except with an extra round connector.
Then there was a long tube, about ten meters long of rubber tubes.
Zhang Hao connected these two things together, threw one end of the pipe into the black mist, and then shouted a spell: "Seal the Demon Wave!"
Then I heard the big jar make a 'whin' sound.
The other end of the long tube also emitted a strong suction, and the black fog nearby was sucked in, and the distant ones were constantly making up for the gaps.
Zhang Hao smiled: "It seems that this method can be used, first try how powerful the black tide is." β
Dumbledore and Lorana were staring at each other, could they still use this method to fight the Black Tide?
"But...... What will you do after collecting all this black mist?" Lorana frowned, "Is such a jar easy to make, and how much black mist can it store?"
Zhang Hao lined up his head and said with annoyance: "Don't you say that I forgot, one magic sealing cauldron is too inefficient, let's put a few more...... It should be faster!"
He pulled out a bunch of jars, ranging from palm-sized to man-high, large and small.
"Two professors, can you help me too?" he taught the two professors how to operate while assembling: "Look...... That's all it takes...... And then like this...... Just say a mantra at the end!"
Dumbledore and Lorana were both very savvy, and they quickly began to get started, assuming that the cauldron was in the black mist.
The black mist began to fade at a rate visible to the naked eye, revealing the infested plants inside.
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "When the sealing cauldron is filled, let's send them to outer space...... It's better to find a planet that is uninhabited. It's a pity that it takes a lot of gold to make the Cauldron, otherwise the threat posed by the Kuroshio would probably be wiped out by the Cauldron alone. β
Each sealing cauldron must be plated with a layer of gold-195, which is the key material for sealing magic.
The larger the internal space, the more gold-195 will be spent, and only these ready-made magic cauldrons will cost Zhang Hao billions of funds.
Many people think that wizarding and Muggle societies don't intersect too deeply, but this is not the case.
Magical experiments use a variety of minerals, and wizards can't mine them themselves, so wizards buy all kinds of ores from Muggles to facilitate experiments.
It is true that ordinary wizards do not often exchange material things with Muggles, but the big businessmen among wizards must often deal with Muggles.
So, wizards also needed the currency of Muggle society.
Billions of funds were consumed all at once, Zhang Hao also had some flesh pain, and he shouldn't spend money like this!
He thought to himself, "Maybe I should ask the Ministry of Magic for reimbursement of this cost." β
"Kid, it looks like you've spent a lot of money making these jars. Dumbledore said empathetically, "I'll talk to the Ministry of Magic and give you a proper financial compensation." β
Zhang Hao smiled: "Then thank you very much, I hope that the Ministry of Magic is still in charge of Mr. Fudge." β
At this, Dumbledore's face became very gloomy. He only remembered that Fudge and the black-robed warlock had colluded.
God knows how far they colluded!
If Fudge had already sold the Ministry of Magic, that would be terrible!
"I think you're too optimistic!" said Lorana suddenly, "You probably haven't realized how terrible the Kuroshio is, and Yu'er is very fast at creating the Kuroshio, which may be just one of the sources." With these sealing cauldrons alone, I am afraid that there is no way to curb the spread of all the black tides. β
Zhang Hao nodded, and then said with a smile: "The effect of sealing the demon cauldron is not to prevent the spread of the black tide - but to reduce the concentration of the black mist!"
