Chapter 296: Phantom (Medium)
Each wizard has a different quality of mana, and the range of manipulation of their own mana is limited.
For example, Grindelwald, who is a generation of Meguro Lords, is undoubtedly the best of all wizards.
However, at this time, Grindelwald was not in the United Kingdom, and his ability to control the magic stored in the Gringotts vault must be relatively weak.
It was as if Louie was the only exception in the world.
With the particularity of his silent magic, the range of his magic manipulation seems to have no limit, and he can accurately manipulate every bit of his magic power no matter where he is.
Therefore.
Suddenly.
When the Gringotts vault in front of him was filled with that abnormal magic power, Louis, who frowned, felt something in his heart, and easily withdrew the second turn of silent magic power that he had output earlier.
Dumbledore, because he was here, recovered his mana, although it was slightly slower than Louis, but the part of his mana was recovered.
Only Grindelwald's part of the magic power was the worst, it can be said that under the shroud of that strange magic, it disappeared in the blink of an eye under the perception of Louis and others.
Seeing that all the magic that Grindelwald had left was gone, as if it had been absorbed by the strange magic that had just suddenly emerged, Snape looked at Dumbledore inquiringly, obviously hoping that the other party could give him a reasonable explanation.
However, looking at Snape's inquiring gaze, Dumbledore not only showed a look of helplessness, but then muttered to himself:
"Just now...."
"What's going on?"
As Dumbledore's confused voice echoed in his ears, the corners of Snape's eyes twitched violently a few times and he almost went away.
"Why did you ask me?"
"Then who should I ask?"
After complaining frantically in his heart, Snape subconsciously shifted his gaze to Louie's body, and asked, "Mr. Rogers, what just happened.... Do you see clearly? ”
Louis nodded and replied, "Professor, I see clearly. ”
"Oh?"
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Snape asked curiously, "To be specific, what do you see clearly?" ”
"Magic."
"Something very different from us."
Louis said with a solemn expression: "I can be sure that this magic power does not belong to that person, but this magic power is stored in that person's horcrux, could it be... Was it the owner of this magic who collected that person's Horcrux and stored it in the Gringotts vault? ”
"I think Mister Rogers was right in his guess."
Dumbledore agreed, "Severus, I know a little bit about the mysterious "Bu Bird", and now I can finally determine that she is the person who collected the Horcruxes. Besides, she had tried to take away some of my magic, similar to what had happened before, so..."
Facing Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Dumbledore sighed weakly, "I'm sorry, but I underestimated the Bird's methods, and it seems that she has succeeded in her scheme." ”
"What conspiracy?"
Snape hurriedly asked, "Yes.... Is it the resurrection of that person? ”
"Yes."
"Not again."
Dumbledore said ambiguously, "I'll need to think hard about what the bird's plan is. However, I can be sure that we don't have the ability to destroy Horcruxes for the time being, so instead of staying here and being threatened by the birds, we should go back and think about how we can break the birds' methods. ”
As he spoke, Dumbledore clenched the wand in his palm, apparently preparing to learn from Grindelwald's method and take advantage of the situation to set up a few more layers of protection for this Horcrux.
Who wants.
It was just as Dumbledore was about to cast the spell.
"Whew!"
Feeling the threat from Dumbledore, the strange magic contained in Marvolo Gaunt's ring reappeared, revealing a terrifying greed in the direction of Dumbledore.
Knowing some knowledge of Delphi's methods, Louie wasn't surprised by the protective measures she had set up for Voldemort's Horcruxes.
After all....
When Louie manipulated many lizardmen to take the Horcrux, he had seen the souls of the lizardmen consumed by Delphi's old magic.
However, this time, when he saw that the magic power that had become stronger after several devouring, while rushing straight towards Dumbledore, it gradually condensed a humanoid phantom, and Louis had to show a shocked look for this.
Cause?
Very simple!
It is precisely because the phantom condensed by Delphi's magic is none other than the phantom of Grindelwald as a generation of Dark Lords!
"This...."
"Could it be that Delphi's magic consumed Grindelwald's magic?"
"Was it one of the hole cards she had set aside?"
With this in mind, in order to avoid the possibility of accidents, Louis quietly manipulated three turns of silent magic, ready to support Dumbledore beside him at any time.
Lucky.
Dumbledore couldn't have suffered the same loss twice.
Therefore, before the magic of Grindelwald's phantom approached, Dumbledore frowned and waved his wand fiercely, firing a flickering beam of magical light.
Followed by.
"Bang!"
Blocked by an invisible barrier, Dumbledore naturally blocked out the phantom of Grindelwald, but his brow was furrowed deeper and deeper.
Especially when Dumbledore faintly noticed that his magic was disappearing little by little, and was melting into the phantom of Grindelwald little by little, Dumbledore suddenly shouted:
"Fawkes!"
The next second.
"Whew!"
Fawkes came to the aid in time, and as the fiery red beams shone on several people, they moved to a place a hundred meters away from the vault in a blink of an eye.
100 meters.
Maybe it was the distance Dumbledore had calculated earlier.
After Louis and the others left with the help of Fawkes's special ability, Grindelwald's phantom transformed by Delphi's magic power roared unwillingly, and had to slowly retract into the ring of Marvolo Gaunt, silently waiting for the next opportunity to make it stronger.
Dumbledore stared straight ahead, too, remembering every detail of what had happened before the evacuation.
There was silence for about a few minutes.
Quickly retracting the Elder Wand into his sleeve, Dumbledore said with a blank face: "Mr. Rogers, please don't tell anyone about today's incident, Severus and I will think of a solution when we go back." ”
"I know, Headmaster."
Louis nodded in response, and then asked cautiously, "That.... You weren't hurt just now, were you? ”
"Nope."
Xinlu Yi was a kind child, but still concerned about his physical condition at this time, Dumbledore put a kind smile on his face again, and then ordered Fawkes to take everyone out of here.
But.
Did Louis really care about Dumbledore's physical condition just now?
Not at all!
He seems to care about Dumbledore, but in fact, there is only one question echoing in his mind, and that is...
"Before...."
"How much magic did Dumbledore lose?"
