Chapter 234: United Front
In 1853, the Caret extermination incident, Kane's side made a retrospective summary afterwards.
Combined with what they saw and heard in the final stage, Hank and Farrilu, almost everyone confirmed their whereabouts.
The reason why I say almost, is because there are still two missing, Fran's sister Melly, and her husband Blake.
In fact, Blake's whereabouts are also there, he was occupied by Hasta's tentacles, became a monster, swallowed Veronica and Lilith's clones, and became another Hasta cub.
But Melly didn't go all the way with Blake, as soon as she was thrown into a frenzy, the two groups tore their faces and went their separate ways, Melly and Fran tried to go to Temple Hill, but were intercepted by Panmilla and a group of banshees on the flyover, theoretically supposed to be in the Temple of Ughu, but in fact they were not.
A squib, the whereabouts of which are a mystery, seems to be nothing, after all, that battle is too high-energy, and if it is touched casually, it will die.
"How did you find Melly?" Kane asked Laura.
He never believed this kind of thing, and he also said that a lot of things have changed, which is a matter of probability.
"Dark VIP. ”
Kane nodded, this is a potion, or he gave it to Dumbledore, they are willing to start from a human point of view, to investigate the secret, in need, Dumbledore mentioned it, so he configured the alchemy potion.
The efficacy of this elixir is still secondary, mainly to avoid being deceived.
You must know that Caret is a wizard family, and the people he interacts with are all wizards, and he can play some tricks of impersonation, planting, and swapping identities through spells or potions such as transfiguration.
However, after many years, the characteristics of tracking and positioning will be highlighted, VIP is VIP, since it is a dark VIP, naturally enjoy extraordinary preferential treatment.
This preferential treatment is not fake, but it is really beneficial to the human body and improves physical fitness. Of course, the effect is limited, and it is more comfortable with shadows and dark areas than ordinary people, and it can see farther at night... It's of little use.
Doing so can better bypass the rejection of the body's self-protection function, and more importantly, it is easy to be mistaken for some innate talent.
When I made this potion, I didn't expect that the target would live for more than a hundred years, and over time, it would be enough for Melly to become a qualified nocturnal animal, and at the same time, in the eyes of the users of the potion who set the 'dark band', she would be as eye-catching as a firefly in the dark night.
So it is indeed not a coincidence that Melly was discovered by Laura, but it is also accidental.
"Have you talked to her?"
Laura used a double in 1853, so of course she didn't have to worry about being recognized.
"Well, after chatting, I feel like she's working as a broker, and she seems to be an agent of a certain force. ”
"You seem to be interested in following up on this project. ”
"Yes. ”
Kane took out some new information about the Blood God Cult and the X Society, and shared it with Laura.
Laura's extraordinary combat position was promoted by him, and he naturally knew what Laura's strength was. Since he is willing to participate, he is still willing to build bridges.
Of course, Laura's style of action is still not eye-catching, but this is just a personal preference, it doesn't mean that other people's sets can't be eaten, the child of fate is not in vain, and it may be possible to break out of a new situation.
Flipping through the information, the more Laura looked at it, the more frightened she became, and couldn't help asking: "Do you think this is a continuation of the problem back then?"
"There must be indirect influences, direct correlation, and there will be some of the same. But that's not the point. The focus is on the characteristics of the current series of events. Full of malice, wantonly trampling on the moral bottom line of human beings, and too destructive. ”
Laura nodded approvingly, continued to look through the information, her expression became more and more gloomy, and finally said coldly: "These ancient transcendent beings are no longer worthy of being called gods, but devils, and the era of demon hunting has come." ”
Kane said in his heart, "Well, that's fine. Now it is a united front, and things are done first, and as long as the goal is the same, other aspects can be relaxed. ”
Since it is a united front, it is natural that there must be few secular officials and national forces, and they cannot be ignored.
Kane gave all the intelligence information that should be given. He felt that it was good for his body and mind to let those dignitaries know that there was an active volcano sitting under their buttocks.
The secular rulers, who were greedy for power and profit, were not stupid, and they realized the seriousness of the problem from the time they got the information that Kane had collected. Soon after, the construction of the core action team was completed through the magic contract.
Magical contracts are mainly responsible for secrecy, and mentioning extraordinary-related content to non-qualified people will trigger the topic of forgetfulness and forgetting what you want to say.
In order to obtain qualifications and make the magic contract more effective, the city of Morsobrai provides a batch of miniature magic crystals, which, according to Kane, are relatively simple magical organs that will participate in the operation of the human body on their own, and can absorb the overflowing extraordinary energy on their own, so as to maintain the effectiveness of magic constantly.
Someone also opened his mind to this, asking Kane: "Is it possible to make ordinary people into wizards through this kind of magic organ?"
Kane said that it is theoretically possible, but it is too difficult to achieve.
As for the issue of screening the extraordinary, Kane finally didn't dare to risk the world's condemnation and really handed over the method to mortals.
Rather, it is based on the breakthrough progress made by Abbather in studying the physiological structure of living corpses, and derives a more targeted approach.
Specifically, a special magic dye was developed for 'Green Rot', which was used as a food additive, and the average person consumed this dye without any side effects, while living corpses would produce pigmentation.
This pigmentation is very recognizable under ultraviolet light, so as long as you have a flashlight equipped with an ultraviolet lamp, you can pull out the living corpse from the crowd.
Christmas is immediately followed by New Year's Day, and before the New Year's holidays, the city of Morsoblay has produced enough magic dyes to hand over to secular officials.
The whole process was very smooth, but it was the official executor identification, and it took some twists and turns.
Kane hates not being secretive and leaking around, and if one of the executors reports the news, Gracchi's only one thought can control the living corpse to avoid this wave of special diet.
Therefore, the specific work should be highly secretive, and the preparations for each item, including the identification of personnel, should be done one by one, and until the last moment, the executors will be told what to do, and then all the executors will enter the barracks where they cannot communicate with the outside world and participate in a two-week intensive training......
It's really troublesome to want to implement these things one by one, after all, the world is not comparable to the swarm, even the army can't compare.
On January 11, 91, the British Ministry of Magic, together with British officials, carried out a large-scale secret arrest.
The arrest mobilized more than 5,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 wizards, and at 23 o'clock, more than 900 mansions were carried out in a unified operation.
The general process is that the wizard directly uses magic, easily opens the door, and blesses the silent and other magic to make the capture team highly secretive, and then uses all petrification, fainting, etc., to control the target and his family.
Living corpses have a fairly high magic tolerance, depending on the degree of 'green rot', the higher the magic tolerance, and can even be directly immune to the subtle, but low-dose magic that is mainstream in the HP world.
Of course, this kind of immune, its appearance is no longer inhuman, it is generally alone or hidden, and it must be put on makeup for two or three hours when going out, and half a bottle of deodorant must be sprinkled.
That's it, there's nothing to say, just shoot it on the spot.
Therefore, more than 300 living corpses of 'stubborn resistance' were shot and killed in this operation, and more than 600 were arrested.
After the capture, the wizard is responsible for sweeping the tail, forgetting everything, falling asleep, and cleaning up.
As for the disappearance of family members for no reason, the official always sent negotiators to communicate afterwards.
In fact, the situation here is very complicated, some of them have been exposed due to 'green rot', and the family knows about it, but the idea of 'not giving up, not giving up' makes them choose to cover up, and even do some stupid things. As a result, all kinds of painful dramas were staged.
This joint operation is tantamount to forcibly letting them go, and some wizards erase the relevant memories (depending on the situation, some are similar to what Hermione did to her parents in the original history line), and this kind of aftermath has been done beautifully like never before.
This is the largest collaboration between a wizard and a mortal in three hundred years, and it has been very successful!
Newspapers such as the Daily Prophet boasted about this for a month, describing the position of the wizards in this incident as saviors.
It has also had a widespread and lasting impact in British wizarding circles, and indeed in the wizarding world.
First of all, in the case of the United Kingdom, there are only more than 7,000 wizards in total, and about a seventh of them were used this time, and almost all wizarding families were represented. This is tantamount to talking about the whole people, and it is normal for heated discussions.
On a larger scale, this operation has set a good example and compared all the bad examples of the Holy See in the past. It's exciting.
And for British officials, the operation was equally significant. They finally have a better candidate for exorcism.
The British side is mainly Protestant, but in terms of exorcism, it has always been controlled by the Holy See (Catholic). Because of the extraordinary technology, it is mainly in the hands of the Holy See.
In the hundreds of years since the witch hunt, the Holy See has become a dominant family, with professional ethics and ability, which is really miserable, and the means of demanding money have become more and more sophisticated.
Of course, this is also related to the decline of the 5,000-year-old demon tide. You don't see the Inquisition playing with Power Gems + Holy Light anymore. This is all forced by reality, the road to heaven is not smooth, there is no way to return the divine power, and the chain is dropped at the critical moment, the scene is too funny, and the Inquisition can only find another way to seek a stable system of extraordinary power.
It is also because of this that Zelva is called a living saint, not simply because he is strong and has lived a long time.
All in all, from the point of view of the secular elites, they are fed up with the monopoly of the Holy See, and they even look at the dark creatures for solutions to their transcendent problems.
But dark creatures generally live in the present, rarely have a long-term vision, and their three views are also very problematic, the power of evil and filth has always affected their conduct, and even more harmful sheep pop up from time to time to lower the image of the group, a group of creatures that are quite unreliable.
Wizards are relatively good, they originate from humans, live next to each other, and even live among humans, so they are easier to communicate with and more focused on the long term. The problem is that I am more stinky and more afraid of the Holy See.
So in the past, even if there was cooperation, it was limited to the powerful to the powerful. The applicable category, that is, small and small, there are big problems, such as the magic plague or something, and the Holy See has to come.
But the rise of the Shafiq family changed everything. This highland baron, like the ancient wizards such as Merlin, straddled the two realms. What's more important is that it is strong enough, the Venice incident, the top magnates of various countries have heard of it, the Holy See dares to provoke it, and it has heard that magic has been industrialized. The evidence is black hemp and demon tears.
This is really good, you can contact more, healthy competition and anti-monopoly, and the Holy See should also make progress.
But for a long time, there has been no substantial, large-scale cooperation, and the secular elites are still a little suspenseful, not knowing whether it will work or not.
This operation can be regarded as a near-perfect answer.
There are more than 1,000 people involved in the case, and the scale of this cult is not small, they are all monsters, and this is about to explode, and the officials don't know how to explain it to the people.
The wizards stepped in and helped the authorities get things done.
Although it is the signboard of the Ministry of Magic, anyone with a discerning eye knows that behind this is the operation of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce, from strategic plans to technical support and intelligence support, they are all people, fast, efficient and professional.
Events are always the best validator, and this time not only proves the abilities of the wizards, but also has not officially identified more than 3,000 people with excellent psychological qualities in the UK.
In the future, whether these personnel continue to serve in the military or retire to the civilian system, they will be involved in more affairs with supernatural people and things.
It can be said that the professional demon slaying team belonging to ordinary people is being established, which makes many powerful people from other countries look very hot.
The cross-border alliance to eradicate the living corpses has a symbolic and far-reaching impact. But it's not really a malignant event, at least in January, and it didn't even rank in the top five except for its size.
The series of events caused by Barty Crouch II is really a vicious incident.
After this guy was commissioned by Voldemort, he went directly to Azkaban to negotiate with the Dementors, and as a result, the new situation on Azkaban's side was naturally seen through by him.
