04. Dead people for dead people
Sherlock left Voldemort's hideout as soon as possible, but Voldemort would definitely choose a new place as his lair, but the day after Sherlock left, rumors began in the wizarding world that Sherlock had begun to make contact with Voldemort and secretly made some kind of special agreement.
It seems that Sherlock himself has become Voldemort's associate.
In this regard, the Daily Prophet hurriedly published a report to clarify that although Sherlock had some kind of contact with Voldemort, it was actually a form of confrontation, and in the Daily Prophet, Voldemort was described as a wheezing old man, far inferior to Sherlock himself in terms of strength.
It was a gesture of belittling Voldemort and elevating Sherlock, but this behavior also caused the reporter who compiled the article to suffer retaliation from the Death Eaters, and the body was found in Diagon Alley the next day.
The wizards of the wizarding world can see this clearly, and the game between the big guys has begun.
And along with the rumors of Sherlock's alliance with Voldemort, there is also information that the existence of the Book of Sherlock has been confirmed.
Sherlock is said to have revealed to Voldemort the true existence of Sherlock's Book, a magic book that records all of Sherlock's spells.
And what was originally only the first treasure circulating in the wizarding world has now been confirmed, and it seems that even Voldemort is quite eager for this Sherlock book, after all, it also records the most perfect method of eternal life.
A reporter from the Daily Prophet also came to the door to inquire, but Sherlock said that he could have the Daily Prophet publish a statement about the authenticity of Sherlock's book.
Although the reporter of the Daily Prophet was quite puzzled by this, he honestly published in the newspaper Sherlock himself to prove that this magic book did exist, and recorded the spell he had developed throughout his life.
As for the confirmation of Sherlock himself, there is a craze in the wizarding world again, but it is just a craze, even if he knows that this book exists, it is not realistic to break into Mephisto Mansions and snatch it from Sherlock himself.
That's probably not something a wizard can do, but a god.
"Not bad...... In fact, when I went to meet Voldemort, I had already thought that this old fellow would definitely disgust me with the fact that I went to see him, and now it seems that it is so. After reading the newspaper, Sherlock shook his head, and he didn't have to think about it, the rumors of his alliance with Voldemort could only be released by Voldemort himself.
After all, there is a large group of Death Eaters under his hands, and such a group does not need to be used in vain.
Under the rumors of Sherlock's alliance with Voldemort and the news of the existence of the Book of Sherlock, the mass escape from Azkaban and the collective riot of the Dementors are not so prominent, and the current Dementors have clearly lost control of the Ministry of Magic.
Thrown into Voldemort's camp.
"Those pesky Dementors...... The Aurors were too late. Suddenly Lycle came to the place where Sherlock was reading the newspaper, and sat on the couch next to him, his face still had a lot of color, and now he was the head of the Auror Office, and Fumund's deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was afraid of death.
When the mass prison escape occurred in Azkaban, Lecker came to Azkaban early with a group of Aurors to stop the rioters from escaping, but unfortunately it was too late, and there was a large number of Dementor riots.
The Aurors who rushed to support were in a situation of passive beating in an instant, and the Death Eaters in Azkaban were basically gone, and most of the remaining criminals were some old and weak, sick and disabled, or some wizards who did not belong to the Death Eaters.
If it weren't for the arrival of Homiz Prometheus at the most critical moment, I am afraid that the Aurors would have lost face this time, and the remaining Dementors in Azkaban were burned to the ground by Prometheus, but some ran away with the Death Eaters.
"What is the policy of the Ministry of Magic, the Dementors?" Sherlock asked.
"Kill or kill, the entire race of Dementors is now wanted." Lecker said.
He then added, "This is not the decision of our Mephisto family, after all, although Fudge is a coward in the Ministry of Magic as a minister, in fact, the vast majority of people still maintain an absolute sense of justice, and although there are ill-intentioned people in the center of the Ministry of Magic, they are actually only a minority." ”
"Of course...... I know this, and this is why you and Dad were able to be supported by the vast majority of your colleagues in the Ministry of Magic after you and Dad were able to serve as the Auror Office and Deputy Minister respectively, which only shows that Fudge's political attitude and cowardly image in the past are really not loved by those under him, and he can't even gain a little loyalty after the accident. ”
Sherlock put the newspaper in his hand and looked at Lekel Mephisto, "Then now Azkaban is without guards, and the Dementors, who are naturally dark creatures, have also taken refuge in Voldemort's command." ”
"That's true, now the Aurors still have to allocate some of their personnel to take on the work of the Dementors, and the group of criminals who didn't have time to escape are quite excited, after all, compared to the Dementors, normal Aurors are simply angels to them." Lecker said, he added, "A third of Azkaban has been destroyed, and now Azkaban has the men to rebuild, and there are many magical prohibitions that were meant to prevent criminals from escaping, but now the buildings cannot be repaired by the power of the spell." ”
"So Azkaban needs to be rebuilt, and a loyal guard is urgently needed." Sherlock touched his chin, thinking that Azkaban without the Dementors really lacked the deterrent effect of the past against wizards.
After all, wizards in the wizarding world are afraid of being imprisoned in Azkaban, mainly because of the large number of Dementors inside, and the methods of which Dementors torture the living can put the world's most feared inquisitors to shame.
"Let's go...... Take a trip to Azkaban. Sherlock stood up and said to Lecker.
"I've just come back, can't you let me rest?"
"Forget it, after all, Voldemort made such a big hole, if it wasn't for the time when I left Voldemort's place, let Prometheus rush over immediately, I'm afraid the trouble will be even bigger, if I don't save it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, think about me I'm still underage, I have to work for the affairs of the wizarding world, what qualifications do adults like you have to be tired?"
Lecker "......"
In the early days, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement established a prison on an island in the cold waters of the North Sea, known as Azkaban Castle or simply Azkaban.
It can be said that the establishment of Azkaban was accompanied by the existence of the Ministry of Magic, and when it comes to ancient buildings in the wizarding world, Azkaban can also be ranked first.
Azkaban is surrounded by magical prohibitions, and is the reason why it has not been discovered by Muggles for many years, if you look at it from the outside, Azkaban looks like a large pillar standing on the North Sea.
"It's time to go." Sherlock glanced around, they were directly transfigured, and Rykel brought Sherlock here, and this was Sherlock's first time in Azkaban, otherwise he wouldn't have let Prometheus, the fastest, come to the rescue.
"How's it going?" Rykel called out to a nearby Auror.
The other party saw that in addition to the Aurora's office director, Sherlock was also present, so he bowed slightly to the other party respectfully and said calmly, "The prisoners in the prison have been strictly controlled, and no shadows of Dementors have been found at the scene, they have all been eliminated by Master Prometheus, and there is no trace of the Death Eaters around." ”
"Forget it, don't do this kind of useless work." Sherlock sighed, "Since the Death Eaters inside have almost run away, the so-called Azkaban may only leave unbearable memories for the Death Eaters, even if there is no one guarding here, it is estimated that the Death Eaters will not run back again." ”
"So what's next?" Lecker asked, looking at Sherlock.
To say that this Azkaban was really destroyed, most of the top of the entire building was blown off.
"The most important thing is to replenish the guards of Azkaban, and not to waste the Aurors in this kind of place......" Sherlock continued, "I have the intention to summon a group of Homiz to serve as Azkaban's guards, but the existence of Homiz needs to be filled with human souls, I just stuff human souls into dead things and then become Homiz resurrection, not to create souls out of thin air and stuff them into Homitz." ”
Sherlock looked at Lecker and asked, "If Azkaban were converted to Homiz to guard, how many Homiz do you think it would take at least?" ”
Lecker thought for a moment, "Seventy! No! Fifty, fifty Homiz is enough, after all, Homiz's combat power is slightly stronger than that of the Dementors. ”
Sherlock nodded, "Fifty Homitz would require fifty human souls, of course not all wizard souls are needed, ordinary humans, such as Muggle souls, can also meet the requirements." ”
"You can ask the British Muggle Prime Minister, if you say that you can choose fifty from Muggle prisons, you should still be able to do it, after all, the number of criminals who die in prison every year for no reason is not a small number." Lecker said.
"It's okay, but it's a pity that there is no death penalty in the UK, otherwise you can directly select people from among the death row prisoners, and you can contact my grandfather's Belavulf family to see if you can get the souls of a group of death row prisoners on the Russian side."
For the United Kingdom, a country that has abolished the death penalty, it is definitely a big deal to take 50 people out of prisons across the country for no reason, after all, when a person mysteriously disappears or dies in prison, it is very difficult to give an explanation to the family of the prisoner.
So Sherlock proposed a compromise for Fourmond to communicate with the Prime Minister of England, and try to select from among the criminals who were so vicious that they had no family to visit, and only twenty-five were needed.
The Bellavulf family acted relatively quickly and thoroughly, and on the afternoon of the day after Sherlock's contact, Sherlock's uncle brought thirty death row prisoners with him, and gave five more gifts.
After all, Russia in this era has just been formed from the collapse of the USSR and has not yet abolished the death penalty throughout the country.
The Prime Minister's side is more realistically said that twenty-five is twenty-five......
Sherlock sucked the souls of the fifty-five men with the "Soul Drain," and then began to study new spells. ”
"Why not make a new batch of Hormitz? I thought you were going to use these souls to replenish the Azkaban Guards. Lecker said, looking at Sherlock.
"No...... I've studied another spell before, and now these souls have a new use. ”
And at this moment in the different latitudes of this world 'deadland!' ’
The conscientious Grim Reaper is seriously demanding that he complete the day's work targets.
"Ah...... There are also many dead souls coming to me today to report! It's a good life, and death is a world where souls can be happy...... I love this job, even though there is no salary, no bonuses, overtime every day, no holidays, I still love ......"
"If you can take that kid's soul ...... also bring to the place of death. Death happily thought that it was a pity that the death of the human world was not due to his own interference, only after the death of a human or a sorcerer, the soul was only a hand in the Grim Reaper, and the Grim Reaper was like the ferryman of the Yellow Springs in Greek mythology, and it was his only job to transport the souls of the dead to the place of death.
And in the hands of the Grim Reaper, there is also a book of souls in the book, which records all the souls of the dead land, large and small, and the Grim Reaper can know in time if a special situation occurs in the dead place.
This thing is similar to the Book of Life and Death, but unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to take human lives with a single stroke of the pen.
You can only see the condition of the dead.
"What's going on?"
Originally, I was going to flip through it, but I found that some special circumstances had happened on this book.
Fifty-five souls have left the place of death, and now they are filled with the souls of another fifty-five people, which is equivalent to the souls of fifty-five dead people being replaced.
"What's the situation?" The Grim Reaper found the souls of the fifty-five dead men who had been replaced in the dead ground, and pressed them menacingly.
"Dead, what's the matter, we're all dead."
"Whoever killed you, you shouldn't have died at this time, and you took the place of the original dead soul."
"A very handsome boy."
"Okay...... He killed fifty-five of you alone, and then replaced fifty-five souls in the dead land? How did he do it, how did he kill you. ”
"Take a stick, swoop and we'll die."
Grim Reaper's MMP! ”
