02. Falling from the sky

"It was about two months ago that the Dark Mark began to appear slowly, which was a kind of call for the Death Eater to be the master's voice, for example, when his strength recovered or increased, the Dark Mark would be sensitive...... When this Dark Devil sign appears, it means that the Mystic Man is indeed regaining his strength and is still returning. ”

Lucius continued, "But last month, when the Dark Mark was active and frequent, we sensed his summons again, and the mysterious people could touch the Death Eaters' Dark Mark symbols, and then the Death Eaters everywhere would obey the call and appear in front of each other, but that call only represented a few high-ranking Death Eaters cadres, such as me...... There are several other people ......"

The thought of that night made him extremely depressed, knowing that he was suddenly summoned by a mysterious man, Lucius, who was used to living a peaceful life, was so frightened that he almost squirted out his heart, and he was stunned to change his shape and leave in a hurry under the incomprehensible gaze of Draco and his wife.

Judging by Lucius's consciousness, this is already an instinct, just as a dog will instinctively run over when it hears the call of its master, and the Dark Lord can also be described as the same for Death Eaters.

"This shows that there are already Death Eaters who have been contacted, or have found the mysterious man, and he is helping the mysterious man to regain his strength, and when we arrived, there was only a letter left on the ground, and it seems that the mysterious man who has not fully recovered his strength is not very relieved about the vast majority of carefully selected Death Eaters."

Lucius pulled the letter out of his bosom and handed it to Sherlock.

This letter is also engraved with a black magic logo, which has the induction of black magic, which can let the Death Eaters know that there is a trace of the magic of the original master, the Death Eaters have long forgotten what the mysterious man's handwriting looks like, and it may be that the master is now too weak to write a letter in person, but at least leave this bit of magic, and let others know that the content of this letter is indeed consistent with the requirements of the mysterious man.

Even if someone else is ghostwriting, the Death Eaters know that they are carrying out their master's orders accurately and not being tricked by others.

"He asks you to spread rumors in the wizarding world as much as you can, which you have done, and to do more public Death Eater rallies and sabotage."

Sherlock glanced at the letter and said in a dull voice, "Aren't you planning to gather and wreak havoc at the Quidditch World Cup?" ”

After saying that, Sherlock thought that in the original book, it was during the World Cup that a large number of Death Eaters came to sabotage.

"Uh...... It hadn't been decided yet, but if you said that, the World Cup was a great place to be, given the attention of the entire wizarding world and the presence of celebrities, it was a great place to make a big deal about the return of the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord. ”

Sherlock "......"

Lucius left after dinner, and at the same time he hoped that Sherlock, as the most powerful third-party intermediary in the wizarding world right now, would be able to make a decision, and if he was to be a complete enemy of the Mystic, if he was to ally with the Mystics, then he would be the most powerful ally of the Mysteries.

Lucius's words had no effect on Sherlock's state of mind, in fact, friend or foe completely depended on personal feelings, as long as the mysterious man did not come to provoke him after his return, he would not be guilty of going to trouble him.

If you think about it, he has already messed up Voldemort's plan twice, if this is the case, Voldemort can still abandon his previous suspicions and pull down his face to find the Sherlock Alliance, even he has to admire Voldemort's open-mindedness.

Seven days later, the day the Quidditch World Cup kicked off.

Early in the morning, after eating breakfast delivered by the house-elves, Sherlock began to plan for today's formation, the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup will be held in the evening, during which the competition will probably last for nearly a month, and will not end until a few days before the start of the new semester of the school.

The Mephisto family has a special Quidditch World Cup ticket from the president of the International Quidditch Association of the wizarding world, and the golden seat number represents Sherlock and his family in the highest level of VIP seats.

This is the prestige of the Mephisto family now.

Since it's the evening for the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup, there's no need to go too early.

The family waited until about three o'clock in the afternoon to leave, and took Sarina by the way, this little girl was about to enter the third grade when the new semester began, Asinsha was in the fourth grade, and Sherlock herself was in the fifth grade.

The Mephisto family's exclusive vehicle was the black iron carriage, which also had the Merphisto family crest and a sheep's head with a wand in its mouth.

After entering the carriage, the spacious interior space is quite comfortable, Asinsha and Sarina are dressed quite beautifully, these two girls seem to have awakened the mind of wanting to dress up to others to see the most beautiful side, a cold breeze blows through the grass, the black iron carriage rises into the air, facing the early west slanting sunlight through the clouds, discerning the direction, the black iron carriage is moving at full speed towards the north.

The sky was not completely calm, with birds passing by from time to time, and many of the flying creatures showed a reasonable interest in the Mephisto family riders passing by, but it was clear that there was little to match in speed when they were in full speed.

There is not only one Portkey for the Quidditch World Cup, and it is impossible for wizards from all over the world to enter the Quidditch World Cup with only one boot that has been transformed into a Portkey, which would have been delayed.

That's why there are Portkeys specially placed by the International Quidditch Association in various places.

After checking the closer portkey area, the Mephisto rode in a black iron carriage and continued to fly due north.

It is possible to fly all the way from Mephisto Manor to the World Cup venue, but the distance is still a little too far, so after understanding the most convenient way to travel to the destination, the Mephisto people decided to fly to the portkey point first, and then go directly to the stadium through the portkey, which is faster.

The journey went relatively smoothly, and before it was dark they flew over the portkey in a special car, and through the car window, Sherlock noticed that two groups of people had arrived at the meeting place, and some of them knew each other.

After a slight hesitation, the black iron carriage slowly descended from the sky.

"Harry, look what that is." With an exclamation, the red-haired boy gathered around everyone suddenly pointed to a black dot in the sky that was about to fall.

Everyone looked up, and under the sunset sky, a luxurious black and iron carriage descended out of thin air, steadily plunging into the grass, stirring up a cloud of dust.

In the midst of everyone's blank gaze, Fourmond Mephisto came out first, wearing a long black trench coat and a hat, followed by his wife, Ellie Mephisto.

"Don't be stunned, Harry, this is Mr. Mephisto and Mrs. Mephisto." Ron couldn't help but remind Harry who was stunned next to him, you must know that the current Mephisto has long been the most prominent pure-blood family in the wizarding world, and its prestige and power are quite huge, and almost more than half of the pure-blood families in the entire wizarding world are leaning towards the Mephisto family, and Funmond Mephisto is even more involved in politics as the patriarch of the family, and they are all suitable for the participation of the international magical community regime.

To put it simply, the current Mephisto is gradually picking up the mess of the pure-blood families in the wizarding world after Voldemort disappeared.

Of course, the Mephisto family was also in decline at the beginning, but who allowed them to cultivate an excellent clansman, a genius who could not ignore the bright moon.

"Mr. Mephisto, Gui'an, and Mrs. ...... It's been a long time since I've seen you, and you're still beautiful. Arthur Weasley offered to come over to say hello, along with Amos Diggory, Arthur's colleague.

Behind them was a group of Weasley children and Hermione, and Cedric Diggory bowed neatly to Fourmond and Ellie in greeting.

Harry's slow movements were forced by Ron......

"Haha, it turned out to be Arthur, I was thinking just now that your family can produce so many excellent young people." Fu Mund laughed.

Arthur smiled and said, "Compared to your son, these few in our family are like waste. ”

Arthur's sons and a daughter expressed their grief.

Sherlock got out of the car behind Fu Mond, along with Asinsha and Sarina.

The moment Sherlock got out of the car, it seemed to attract the attention of the surroundings, and Ginny screamed nervously.

"Ginny, why are you so rude?"

Arthur reprimanded, and Ginny hid behind Hermione's back.

Harry finally understood that the two in front of him were Sherlock's parents, in fact, when he saw the black iron carriage and the Mephisto family badge on it, as well as Ron's introduction just now, Harry should have remembered it.

Ron had seen the Fourmonds, but Harry hadn't seen them once.

In other words, the middle-aged man in front of him is the patriarch of the Mephisto family who can compete with the power of the Minister of Magic.

"Mr. Sherlock, I was wondering when you would be here." Hermione said.

Asinsha secretly complained that Hermione had seen them come out together, but only Sherlock was alone.

Harry Potter is also among them, and Asin Sha ignores her, she still hasn't forgotten Harry's collision with Sherlock last year, and until now Harry Potter hasn't learned to apologize, she pulled Hermione and Ginny and brought Sarina to talk to the side, and the girls got together as if they could never finish talking.

Harry stood there as if he had been isolated all of a sudden, and only Ron stood beside him muttering to remind Harry that he still had a good brother to carry.

Most of the eyes were on Sherlock.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Amos Diggory." Mr. Weasley then introduced Amos to the Mephisto people, "He works for the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, and his son Cedric, a student of Hogwarts, is in the seventh year after the start of the school. ”

Sherlock nodded to Cedric, Cedric smiled brightly, he showed his face in front of Sherlock, I hope the Spelled Prince in front of him will not forget him in a blink of an eye, if the other party can't remember when they meet and greet at school, then Cedric will be laughed at by his fellow students in the academy.

Amos walked up to Augustus with a gentle smile on his face and held out his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sherlock, I'm a big fan of yours, I've read all your writings, let me say it's an immortal masterpiece, you're a legend among wizards in the wizarding world." ”

Sherlock shook his hand and nodded with a smile.

Fu Mengde touched his nose awkwardly beside him, as if this old man was a little bit of a dick of himself, but he admired his son very much, and this matter was troublesome.

Fu Mund looked at the sky and turned to Weasley, "It should be almost time, right?" Are you still waiting for someone else, we can enter together through the portkey. ”

Fu Mond invited Weasley and the others, and of course everyone agreed.

Weasley looked at his pocket watch, "It would be nice to get in together, and we didn't wait for anyone else, the Lovegoods got there a week ago, and the Fawcetts didn't get tickets...... It's something we've contacted before, and now it's just me and Diggory."

Fu Mund said, "Then let's go." ”

Arthur Weasley turned to look at Harry and Hermione, only these two people didn't grow up in wizarding families, so they hadn't touched anything like a portkey, "You just touch the portkey, just stick out a finger......"

Arthur Weasley then taught Harry and Hermione how to do it.

The Mephisto clan followed the crowd around the old boots, and everyone stood in a tight circle, all with their hands on the boots, and Weasley looked at his pocket watch and whispered "Three, two, one." ”

A huge suction erupted from their boots, and everyone lifted their feet off the ground as if in a whirlpool, and they flew forward like a gust of wind, unable to see anything in front of them.

The boots are like a magnetic force, firmly absorbing everyone, constantly pulling outward, the next moment.

His feet fell to the ground, and everyone but Sherlock, Fourmond, Ellie, Arthur, and Amos fell together.

Several of the girls may have fallen late due to their lower weight, and Sherlock didn't want to see them fall like the others, so he used his magic hand to drag down Hermione, Ginny, Asinsa, and Sarina.

Amos Diggory watched Sherlock pull out his wand and drag the men down, and he was so excited that he almost sang.

"Five and seven o'clock, from Weasel Mountain." Just one voice spoke.

This portkey is quite funny, a smile appears on Sherlock's lips, but the way the portkey is delivered is a little too soft, for example, Ron complains about the pain in the butt.
