Chapter 121: The Great Raid
The reincarnators returned to the tent provided by the Ministry of Magic after the meeting, and less than an hour later, the specific search arrangements were ordered to the camp, and all the fighters of the Ministry of Magic, even the bounty hunters who had arrived after hearing the news, were assigned to the search area. The reincarnators were not immediately assigned tasks because they had just finished a fierce battle.
To the southeast of Lamberis, there happens to be a large mountainous area of Snowton Mountain, and perhaps the word "coincidence" should not be used, but the Dementors just happen to be hiding in this mountainous area. In the second half of the night, when the reincarnators were resting or feeling so sad about the loss of a teammate that they couldn't sleep, a dozen wizards in each group, more than twenty groups of people, had already begun to arrive from all over the country and began to search every inch of the suspicious area that had shrunk to the extreme.
There were quite a few people, but even compared to the fan-shaped mountainous range, which had been as precise as possible, the search proceeded slowly but methodically, and Scrimgeur's 48 hours seemed to have little room for it.
The reincarnators are a little entangled: on the one hand, it is obvious that there is nothing to gain by staying where they are, but their own strength is so weak in this world that they also feel uneasy.
At six o'clock in the morning, the eastern sky began to brighten, and after a night's rest, Wen Yu's two consecutive mental shock backlashes were almost recovered, but Zhang Haolin's soul was almost sucked out by the dementor, and although his body felt fine, there was always a little bit of discomfort...... Obviously, the wounds on the soul are not so easy to recover.
was discussing the next plan of action, and Harry Potter, the protagonist of this world, suddenly came up again: "Everyone, how are you resting, our two teams are in a group, can we go?" ”
It turned out that the six Aurors of Harry's team had also been scheduled to rest for the night because they had consumed a lot of mana in the process of rushing to the aid and driving away the Dementors last night, and the Auror Command Director had been grouped again because of the wizards who arrived one after another in the middle of the night and early in the morning.
How could it be so coincidental, obviously the main line has nothing to do with the protagonist, and the reincarnators didn't go close, and they could be teammates forcibly? Zhang Haolin didn't believe that this was the result of the intervention of the main god, so ...... Could it be that Ron couldn't hold back and wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Wen Yu, so he quietly found someone to affect the detachment?
Whether or not he had no chance to know, but one thing was for sure - Ron had a crush on a girl he would never be able to chase, Wen Yu couldn't stay after completing the mission, and the reincarnators couldn't spend reward points for an item that would add him to the team...... Not to mention that Zhang Haolin himself also has thoughts about Wen Yu.
"Enough rest, shall we leave immediately?" For being able to be teammates with the most elite wizards in the Ministry of Magic, Chen Tao is naturally very happy.
"Let's finish breakfast."
Five reincarnators and six Aurors, which is a relatively small number in the search team, but the combat power of the six Aurors is likely to be higher than the number of hitters twice as many as them, and the powerful wizards in the original plot and they know, and now the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, most of them are from the Aurors: Moody, Scrimgeour, Kingsley, Martin, and Lockhart who suddenly appeared, etc......
"Aurors", a word from the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology, is a great deterrent to enemies and safe for allies.
"The area we searched is not large, and if we don't rest, we can finish it by tomorrow morning." The female Auror captain named Anna explained to Chen Tao in a friendly and patient manner, "All the Muggles in the search area have been driven away, and they can ride broomsticks at will. ”
――
The two teams set out from the makeshift headquarters set up by Lamberis on broomsticks, marching together in harmony towards the search area assigned to them at a slight speed that everyone could keep up with. As Zhang Haolin expected, Ron seemed to have mustered up the courage to start awkwardly trying to strike up a conversation with Wen Yu...... However, the girl was immersed in the grief of losing a partner, and only replied politely to his accosting, which made the red-haired boy smile with joy on his face.
The Ministry of Magic arranged for the search to search inward from the edge, and the speed of the broom was fast, and they flew over several hills in less than half an hour to reach the assigned area of responsibility.
"We're going to search east from here." Anna took the lead in stopping, pointed to the forest below in mid-air, and said, "If the enemy in the encirclement runs away from our area of responsibility, it will be our responsibility, but you don't care, we will have to deduct the bonus." ”
"But if you encounter Voldemort, the best thing to do is to run separately immediately, and if you can run away, count as few." Harry said, "None of us can hold him back for even a few seconds. ”
"Is it that scary?" Zhang Haolin asked suspiciously, in the original movie, didn't Harry kill Voldemort alone, although it was because Voldemort was holding a wand loyal to the enemy, but he really didn't see how good this first dark wizard was.
"Six of us on this side, me, Ron, and Harry have all been involved in the fight against the Dark Lord." Anna's expression suddenly sank: "The other three are all new Aurors who joined after the war, so let's put it this way, among the people who were colleagues with me before the war, those who fought with the Dark Lord and are still alive until now, can be counted on two hands." ”
"If it weren't for wizards like Mr. Scrimgeour, Mad Eye, Headmaster Dumbledore, or Professor Lockhart, it would take about twenty Aurors of my strength to defeat him."
"Hold up the scene? Didn't Minister Lockhart defeat him single-handedly. Zhang Haolin asked in surprise.
Harry shook his head and said no more. But the information he had just inadvertently revealed seemed to mean that neither Dumbledore nor Lockhart could actually defeat Voldemort in heads-up?
"It's a bit of a problem, but it's good that the main quest just let us find him, not kill him." Zhang Haolin quietly said to Wen Yu through the spiritual link: "If there is a situation at that time, you don't care about anything, just run away on a broomstick." ”
"Am I so disgusted by you, I can help!"
"The Dark Lord...... I think Mr. Minister already has a way to deal with him, we just have to do our job. Anna stopped discussing Voldemort's strength, "Now, let's get to work." ”
――
Because the Ministry of Magic provides stipends to wizards who are willing to accept arrangements to participate in the search, the scale of the search is quite large. The reincarnators naturally don't care about this Galleon, looking at this posture, even if they stay in the tent to relax, the people from the Ministry of Magic can complete the first main quest for them...... But although the Lord God did not require that Voldemort be found by the reincarnators themselves, their intuition told them that doing nothing might have serious consequences.
The search process was as boring as yesterday, but this time no one dared to get bored, a small encounter, a few monsters who were not even considered the Dark Lord's henchmen, easily let the reincarnators lose a teammate, and almost killed Zhang Haolin.
Strictly speaking, this is not a police hunt for criminals, but a siege of the rebels by the authorities, a war between wizards of two ideals. Although one side has been defeated, look at the Ministry of Magic as if it were facing a great enemy, and analyze the information revealed in the Aurors' words...... By all indications, Voldemort still seems to have the strength to threaten the wizarding world.
This is different from what the reincarnators guessed at the beginning, although the power has been uprooted, but Voldemort's personal strength is really strong to this extent? Does the change in his strength also affect the similarity of the plot, is it really necessary to die in every game to keep the difficulty within a safe range?
