Chapter 136: The Death Eaters: He surrounded us
The Ministry of Magic took the Quidditch World Cup very seriously, and for this reason built a new stadium near Dartmoor in Devon, demarcating a large area of land for Muggle expulsion.
The International Confederation of Wizards' Quidditch Committee and the British Ministry of Magic's Department of Physical Education have jointly developed the Official Guide to the Quidditch World Cup, which distributes wizards who have bought tickets, which the British Ministry of Magic takes seriously because it is on their home turf.
Karn had asked for a nice box with enough room for a dozen people through the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and Hermione wrote to ask Wesley's family, who gladly thanked Hermione for the invitation.
With a box in the center, who wants to go to the top open-air position to watch the game.
Karn wasn't a big fan of Quidditch, and it should be said that he wasn't very fond of all sports; If there is one thing that can make his heart move, it is to watch his wealth become more and his power grow.
"Godfather, how are we going to get over?"
Hermione had gotten up early, and today she had spent a lot of effort dressing herself, and even the clothes were carefully selected small robes, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"Directly apparition past, Phil and Isaac have already set up a house in the VIP area, let's come over for breakfast first."
Karn said to Hermione as he read the alchemical notes left by Nicolame; As the most famous alchemist in the wizarding world, Nick Mailer left notes and ideas that could be exchanged for a city.
The Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life made by Nicola Met alone were enough to make him the richest man in the world.
However, Karn wanted to learn from Nick Mailer's alchemy and make some powerful alchemy products; For example, the space-time converter that involves time and space, if he can, he wants to use alchemy to upgrade all the equipment on his body.
Hermione saw that Karn had been holding a book and looking at it like her third-year self, so she asked, "Godfather, are you interested in alchemy?" ”
"If it's Nick Mailer's alchemy, I'm sure few people won't be interested... You're dressed nicely today, Hermione, though. ”
Karn glanced at Hermione, then turned his attention to Nicolamet's alchemical notes.
Hermione's mood was much better when she heard Karn's words, and she didn't notice Karn's perfunctory attitude at all.
He was seeing a key place, and there were two shadow clones upstairs who were also helping him remember knowledge; Dumbledore had only taken out a few alchemy notes, but there were actually six bookcases of books left behind by Nicolamet.
All of this was packed by Dumbledore in an untraced stretch bag, and Karn, even with the help of the doppelganger, would have taken a long time to see it; After all, he watched for a while, so he had to take a break and slowly understand the knowledge passed back by the shadow clone, but rote memorization had no effect.
And alchemical items needed to be practiced, and Karn felt that he could try it after a while, and if nothing else, his talent for fire control would at least make it easier for him to cast things.
After Hermione had finished her breakfast, she cleaned her mouth again before coming to Karn's side, "Godfather, I'm ready. ”
"Let's go, then."
Karn asked Hermione to put her hand on her, and then used her apparition to make her way to Devon.
"Hermione!"
No sooner had Karn and Hermione emerged from the apparition than shouts were heard from behind; The two looked back and happened to run into the Wesleys and Harry Potter.
"Professor Pente."
Several of the Wesley children stepped forward and greeted Karn directly, and then Arthur also stepped forward and said to Karn with a smile, "Thank you very much, Professor Pente, otherwise we would have watched the game from the highest point in the stadium." ”
"There's just a big enough box, don't thank me, Mr. Wesley, this is..."
Karn said politely, and then looked at the two people on the side, he knew Cedric, and as for the one next to him, it should be Cedric's father if nothing else.
Arthur hurriedly introduced: "This is Amos Diggory, my colleague in the Ministry of Magic, working in the Department of Magical Beasts. ”
After getting to know each other, Karn led them to the temporary housing in the VIP area, which was relatively empty, with Wesley's tent probably the smallest of them, and Karn's was a small two-story building.
Although it doesn't look big on the outside, when you walk in, there are at least a dozen rooms and three living rooms and an entertainment venue inside, and the total area is larger than some ordinary people's luxury villas.
Karn invited Arthur and Amos to his place to rest and sit for a while, and Phil and Isaac had prepared refreshments; Keitel could have come, but there seemed to be an unusual movement in the Delacour family recently, so she left for France to spy on the Delacour family herself.
After a while, Karn was visited by another person, Luvin Amoto, president of the International Association for the Trade in Magic; Even in the wizarding world, this is also the wizarding world of the capital country, and the Karn Potions Shop has expanded greatly, and it has also hindered Connelly Fudge's sanctions against the Karn Potions Workshop, and Luvin Amoto is one of them.
In the expansion of Karn's potions shop, Luvin Amoto also made a lot of Galleons, and this partnership made both of them very comfortable.
After a few people sat down for tea, Karn asked directly about the Ministry of Magic, and said, "Mr. Amoto, has Fudge been close to the pure-blood family recently, and how many of them are his cronies?" ”
"Less than half, in fact, many people feel that Fudge is not capable of ministers, and even he is listening to the opinions of pure-blood families, how can you count on his supporters."
Luvin Amoto even called Fudge by his name directly: "Fudge even wants to change the rules that have been in place for a long time in the Ministry of Magic, just because the pure-blood family can give him a support rate, and if this mediocre minister continues, I am afraid that the credibility of the Ministry of Magic will be reduced by several levels." ”
Wesley and Diggory seldom interject over black tea, and they are marginal and unpopular in the Ministry of Magic, especially Arthur; He was a supporter of Dumbledore and was rather unpopular with Fudge.
"Let this mediocre minister step down, he's done enough stupid things."
Karn put down his cup of tea, and said to Luvin Amoto, "I can accept Rufus Scrimgeur, at least he will follow the rules, not a puppet raised by a pure-blood family, Mr. Wesley, you can also consider my words." ”
Arthur Weiss also has a lot of friends in the Ministry of Magic, and if they can join forces, the opposition to Fudge within the Ministry of Magic will be even stronger.
As for public opinion, under Karn's Galleon's manipulation, Fudge's reputation plummeted, and he was so active in hosting the Quidditch World Cup to save a little of his popularity among the people.
Arthur was also more moved by this, he had been targeted by Fudge for several years, and if he could really change a minister, even Rufus Scrimgeur, it would be good news for him.
They then talked until noon, and then went back to dinner, both of whom had families, so they did not stay with Karn.
Hermione had also returned, having just gone to buy some Irish team support gifts when her little face was back on her face.
The game didn't take place until near night, and Karn didn't go out much in the afternoon, so he stayed in the house to read Nicolame's alchemical notes; Ron and Harry called out to Hermione, but Hermione thought about it for a moment and rejected their plan to continue shopping, choosing to stay with Karn to read a book.
She was almost tired from shopping in the morning, so she might as well take a break and watch the game in the evening.
...........
In the evening, the Quidditch match officially begins, and tonight is the first match, the Bulgarian team and the Irish team, whoever wins, will receive two points.
When Karn and his party were heading to the box, they happened to run into an acquaintance, and when they saw this person, Karn couldn't help but smile and walked up to him and said, "Mr. Malfoy, are you hiding from me?" ”
Lucius turned around with an ugly face and said stiffly, "Karn Pente, hiding from you?" You're just a Muggle-born wizard, pure-blood families won't let you run rampant, Mudblood..."
Loose and energetic!
Karn moved his fingers and struck Lucius directly on the leg with a spell, and he suddenly felt his legs go limp, and he fell directly to his knees.
"No, Lucius, are you kneeling for a Muggle wizard?"
Karn shook his head and said, "If you can, take your snake's blood pastry off the shelves, because it's really hard to eat." ”
With that, Karn walked past Lucius Malfoy and headed for his box; The relationship between him and the purebloods is difficult to reconcile, and it is under the persuasion of the other party that Fudge is ready to impose a series of policy restrictions on the Karn Potions Material Shop.
Moreover, no one but Lucius had just noticed that Karn had used magic; The combination of the Silent Spell and the Wandless Spell made it difficult for the Aurors to detect even when Karn was around.
"Godfather, what you just did was fantastic!"
Hermione leaned into Karn's ear and whispered; She was the only one present who could clearly see Karn's fingers, but Hermione was annoyed because she hated the word mudblood the most.
Soon the game began, and Kahn didn't like the sport, but he followed it anyway; Bulgaria won against Ireland by a clear margin, and no matter how much support the home team has, it is useless.
Bulgaria not only won two points from the match, but also won three more points by more than a hundred points.
"It's so infuriating, why did they lose like this!"
Hermione had been complaining angrily when she went back, she didn't like broomsticks very much, but she wanted the Irish team to win, but tonight she lost too badly.
Karn smiled and stroked Hermione's fluffy hair, he knew that the Death Eaters would cause some commotion tonight, so he didn't continue to read the alchemy notes.
After a while, there were some unusual noises, exclamations, and explosions outside.
"Phil, Isaac."
As soon as Karn finished speaking, two house-elves appeared in front of him, saluted, and said, "Master, what do you command?" ”
Karn commanded, "Protect this place, I'll go out and see." ”
Hermione also sensed the commotion, and immediately said to Karn, "Godfather, I'm with you."
"No, you stay here, Hermione."
With that, Karn walked straight out; Hermione was tempted to follow, but the elves of Phil and Isaac stopped Hermione, fearing that Hermione would blame them for doing a lot, but they couldn't disobey Karn's orders.
Hermione took a deep breath and said, "I'll go upstairs and rest, you guys just have to watch it here." With that, she ran to the upstairs room, and even if the elf stopped her downstairs, she would have a way out.
Outside, there were fires everywhere, not the glow of a bonfire, but the constant attacks on the tents, causing a commotion; They wore masks and hoods, and those who stood in their way were all struck by the spell.
The Death Eaters soon made their way to the VIP area, and when one of them saw Karn, he immediately shouted, "He's here!" ”
Karn was one of their targets this time, in addition to causing a riot, announcing the return of the Dark Lord in this major event; One more thing was to kill Karn, who had seized the benefits that belonged to the pure-blood family.
"Arvada gnaws on big melons!"
"Divided!"
"It's all petrified!"
"It's blazing!"
In an instant, many attacked Karn, but he ignored all the spells except for a magical wall on the ground that he had used Transfiguration to block the Requisition; With the strength of these Death Eaters, they couldn't break his iron armor curse, especially the guy who used the fire.
The Death Eater's fire grew close to Karn and lost control, turning into a fiery dragon that burned the Death Eater to death, and then continued to expand and attack the others.
"Damn Amycus, you won't use it with fire... The fire is gone! ”
One of the Death Eaters yelled, and then cast a dispel spell on the fierce fire that was coming at him, but Karn's control was terrifying, and with a swing of the spell, he only slapped the dragon's head, but the next second the dragon was back to normal.
"Come and help... Ahh ”
Before Rozier could wait for his companion, one of his arms was burned; Seeing that this was not good, several other Death Eaters hurriedly stepped forward and used the fire to disperse it, and used it several times in succession before the fire dragon was slowly destroyed.
This was also because Karn ignored them, otherwise he would not have succeeded even if he had used dozens of spells to dispel the fire.
Asunder!
Karn struck a Death Eater with a Crushing Charm, his spell silent and undetectable; The Death Eater exploded into pieces and scattered all over the ground with a 'Peng' of the curse, and Karn's spell even passed through his corpse, blasting the ground behind him into a deep pit.
"It's too powerful, let's use the petrification spell or the stun spell, only by chanting these people Azkaban can they better annex their family's business..."
Karn thought to himself, and then, ignoring most of the spells, spell after spell knocked out all the Death Eaters who were besieging him.
"Retreat, go! When the Dark Lord returns, he's cleaning him up. ”
Some of them were so frightened that Karn was so strong that they wanted to use the apparition to leave, but Karn had cast an anti-apparition spell nearby when he came, and it was impossible for the gang to escape through the apparition.
As for the use of the Flying Charm, whoever rushes into the air will be hit first by Karn; The least powerful weapon of all his spells can kill you.
Within a few moments, all the nearby Death Eaters were knocked down by Karn alone, either under the petrification spell or the stun spell, and lay on the ground unable to move for at least a day or two; Even if you give them an unraveling charm, lie down for an hour or two.
Karn then used a dash of magic to smash the masks on the faces of the Death Eaters; He didn't know much about the others, but Lucius knew him well.
"Godfather!"
Seeing that it was quiet, Hermione hurriedly ran to Karn's side from a distance, and then carefully examined Karn's body, "Godfather, are you injured?" I just saw several Death Eaters attacking you in the distance, and I solved one over there..."
Karn patted Hermione on the head and said, "I'm fine, but you, don't do such a dangerous thing next time." ”
