Chapter 277: Karkarov on the Run
At night, Durmstrang's ship turned into a fireship, wisps of black smoke billowing into the gray sky.
Such a terrifying scene made Hagrid gasp, and he said with a pale face: "
"O galloping Golgong! How could that ship burn up?! ”
"Black Flame ......" Rove narrowed his eyes and said softly, "It seems that a dark wizard is deliberately setting fire to the ship using a fire charm." ”
"Dark wizard?!" Hagrid cursed viciously and said anxiously, "The fire is getting bigger and bigger, we need to hurry to put out the fire." ”
"Hagrid, once the devil's flame spreads, it will not be impossible to extinguish it by just a few of us."
Rove looked at the black flames that had already gained momentum, shook his head, and said, "It's useless to rush over now." ”
"What then?" Hagrid asked, a little flustered, "You can't do nothing, can you?" ”
"It's more effective to save people directly than to fight fires." Rove turned to Hagrid and asked unusually calmly:
"Where is the boat used by the first-year students to cross the lake?"
Hagrid was stunned, then stretched out his hand to the west and said, "Stop at the ferry over there." ”
"Hagrid, you immediately bring those small boats to the vicinity of that magic ship." Rove commanded in a heavy tone:
"Hermione, Fleur, you two go together to help, and if any students jump into the lake, get them up."
Hearing the young man's words, the two girls who were frightened by the fireboat finally returned to their souls slightly, but they were still a little masterless, and their eyes looked at him in a trance.
Seeing this, Rove reached out and pressed the heads of the two, and he used his healing hand to gently caress them, and at the same time admonished:
"Remember, don't get too close to the magic ship, and don't save the students who are burned by the fire...... In short, safety comes first for both of you! ”
Hermione and Fleur gave Rove a touch of the head, and finally came to their senses, they nodded vigorously and followed Hagrid towards the ferry in the distance.
Rove opened the black leather case and whispered, "Shirley, report to Dumbledore immediately and ask him to come over." ”
The ponytail girl snorted, raised her wand and said, "Calling God Guard!" ”
At the end of the wand, a dazzling silver unicorn emerged, which landed beside Shirley, and she whispered a few words, and the unicorn stepped on its hooves and sped away.
Rove took out the fire bolt from the box and rode on it with Shirley, but instead of rushing to take off, he turned around and whispered:
"Shirley, the arsonist may still be at school, you don't have to worry about anything next, the only task is to look at that Hogwarts map and look for suspicious names."
The ponytail girl stared into Rove's eyes and nodded seriously: "I know!" ”
Rove turned around, grabbed Shirley's hand, put it on his waist and said, "Sit tight!" ”
With a kick of his feet, the fire bolt rose into the air, turned into a long rainbow, and swept towards the black lake.

The thunderous sound of the sirens woke Krum from his sleep, and he got up from his bed, heard the noise outside the door, and hurriedly pushed open the door and looked out.
I saw that the corridor was crowded with students, all rushing towards the exit.
Krum grabbed a student's arm casually and asked with a gloomy face, "Cass, what's wrong?" ”
"It's on fire!" Cass broke free from Krum's pull and stumbled towards the exit, shouting, "Wickdor, run, don't stand stupidly anywhere!" ”
When Krum heard this, his two thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.
This is a magic ship, it can sink directly to the bottom of the lake, what fire can't be extinguished, and it needs to be so panicked?!
Suspicious, he returned to the room, went to the window, slammed the curtain open, and then stood there dumbfounded.
He saw the deck blazing, black flames spreading everywhere, engulfing the hull at an incredible speed.
Krum recognized it at a glance as a fierce fire, an evil flame that was almost impossible to extinguish, and even a spark could burn a ship.
At this moment, a flaming wood splinter flew in and hit the glass.
The thick magic glass, which can block the water pressure in the deep sea, is like wax oil at this moment, burning instantly and making a hissing sound.
Krum took a step back in fright, and before he could even change his pajamas, he turned and rushed down the hallway to join the fleeing party.
Karkarov, who was standing in his room, also looked through the window, looking at the devilish flames raging on the deck.
This fire spell must have been cast by the Death Eaters!
Thinking of this, Karkaroff's face was unusually pale, and his whole person trembled with fear.
He held down the black mark on his left arm until his arm was in pain, then slowly let go, and said in a trembling voice:
"Here they are...... They must have come...... The Death Eaters have come to kill me! ”
Caught in an inexplicable fear, Karkaroff scrambled to a closet, trembling and knocking on it with his wand.
He opened the cabinet door, revealing a narrow passageway.
That secret passage leads to the bottom of the ship, and you can escape quietly.
Karkaroff dropped a boatload of students and got into it without hesitation.
On the deck, the fierce fire, which had devoured countless objects, had begun to transform into a horde of magical creatures made of fire: fiery serpents, Kemera, and fire dragons......
They ran around, one after the other, and soon a sea of fire appeared.
The Durmstrang students who had escaped from the cabin were in a mess, crying and screaming.
A flame clinged to the rigging, climbed over the rope, climbed onto the canvas, and grew into a black flame tumor, and the mast also collapsed in the flames, smashing towards the deck.
A schoolgirl happened to be standing impartially below, but she didn't notice it in the slightest.
Krum, who came to the exit, saw this scene from afar, and he shouted:
"Leonie, get out of the way, the mast has come down, get out of the way!"
When Leonie heard the shout, she couldn't help but look up and see a thick mast coming towards her.
She froze in place, lost her ability to think, and her mind was blank.
Krum tried to rush over to save someone, but a barrel flew high above everyone's heads and slammed into the ground, causing the flames to spread and he had to retreat.
Leonie collapsed in fright, letting out a desperate scream.
At the last moment, a long whip flew, and thunder and lightning lingered, and it slashed and cut at the mast violently, cutting through the wood like a knife through tofu, tearing it apart.
An orange flame shot out, and before the crumbling wood could hit the ground, it turned into a cloud of ashes, and disappeared into the air as soon as the wind blew.
In the next second, a figure fell heavily on the deck like a flying stone from the sky, and the strong wind blew on its face, and the black flames around it shook backwards.
Leonie raised her head and looked at the handsome young man who had fallen from the sky in front of her.
Rov held out his hand towards her and said softly:
"Hey, are you alright?"
