Chapter 63: The Nest

Cats have cat paths, mice have rat paths, and people can always find the same circle as themselves as long as they want to.

Mundungus had his way, werewolves mingled, and there was a secret meeting place, so Dumbledore had to find out about Fenrir Greyback's operations, and he had to rely on Lupin, a wizard with a werewolf identity.

In order to survive, there are also some people who huddle together to keep warm, and some people form similar gangs.

Because the Ministry of Magic is either conniving or helpless, Tumbling Alley has developed to the point that no one knows it, and even the owner of the store of Boginbock, the largest snake in Tumbledown Alley, does not dare to say that he knows every corner of Tumbledown Alley completely.

Although it is far from the prosperity of Diagon Alley, the size of Tumbledown Alley and the hidden corners may have long exceeded the area of Diagon Alley.

Knowing that Tumbledown Alley is a place of right and wrong, Maple covered himself with a cloak. However, he didn't have a compound decoction on his body, and he was anxious about the whereabouts of the children in the orphanage, so he couldn't take care of this.

Perhaps seeing that Maple was short and alone, several dark wizards quickly targeted him. Just like Harry's first visit to Tumbledown Alley, if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Hagrid, he might have been abducted by the wizards here.

Trafficking in children and even human experiments, perhaps in some very hidden corner, the wizarding world also exists. Horrific shapes like some horribly twisted humanoids in the Forbidden Books section of Hogwarts may have been the work of some Dark Wizard.

Walking in Tumbledown Alley, the most needed and useful spell is the Iron Armor Charm, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic often encounter accidents and sacrifices when sweeping the Fallen Alley Dark Wizards, that is, these non-elite personnel of the Ministry of Magic can't even pronounce a decent Iron Armor Charm.

Maple couldn't help but think of the situation when Harry taught the Iron Armor Charm when Harry founded the DA, the Weasley brothers looked down on this spell, what an irony, most of the students at school had the same mentality as the Weasley brothers, bent on learning particularly high and powerful magic, the kind that is invincible in the world with one move, and looked down on seemingly low-level spells such as the Disarming Charm, the Stun Charm, and the Iron Armor Charm.

But when these cannon fodder who really joined the Aurors, no, supernumeraries, they would know how useful these seemingly inconspicuous basic spells were for themselves.

Maple's current Iron Armor Spell has already reached the peak of the intermediate level, if it is divided according to the level of SABC, the power of the spell is at least B+, plus the bonus of the Immortal Wand, the power of the spell should be able to increase to the level of A or even S-.

These dark wizards don't tell you any rules, and they wave their wands directly behind Maple, emitting a red glow that seems to be a stun charm.

But Maple's silent Iron Armor Spell had already blocked their spell and bounced back.

The three dark wizards hurriedly dodged the stunned spell that bounced back, and then released a black light on Maple's back, which seemed to be some kind of black magic.

Is it endless? I didn't want to pay attention to your delay, so don't blame me now!

"Armor protection!" When he recited the Iron Armor Charm, Maple was also worried that he didn't know if his sound spell Iron Armor Charm could block their black magic, and he couldn't be negligent with the enemy at any time, so he ducked to the side while releasing the Iron Armor Charm.

But it was clear that he was overestimating his opponents, and also, if their magic level was already able to break the A-level Iron Armor Curse, they would not be so reckless as to attack an adult wizard.

The black light seemed to be just a bluff because of the black magic, and it didn't have any effective damage to Maple's Iron Armor Spell. However, it also caused a few scratches, and black magic is indeed easier to exert powerful power than normal magic, so it is no wonder that so many wizards who pursue great power are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves.

Seeing that none of the dark magic they were proud of could hurt the wizards in front of them, these dark wizards finally realized that they had kicked the iron plate, but now if they wanted to escape, they had to ask Maple if they agreed.

"Except for your weapons!"

"Broken bones!" Instead of killing them, he dirty his own hands, but he also disarmed the wands of the two dark wizards, took one himself, and shattered the other.

In an environment like Tumbledown Alley, this is no different from killing them.

There was also a dark wizard who quickly escaped with apparition when two companions were unlucky, but perhaps too nervous, leaving a bloody foot, but it was much better than two companions.

After Maple took his wand and turned away without looking at them, a wizard immediately committed suicide in despair, and his companions fled frantically, as if trying to get out of the right and wrong place of Tumbledown Alley as soon as possible, but whether he succeeded or not was unknown, and Maple didn't care.

Following the guidance of the near-end Elixir, Maple found an even more deserted corner away from the Tumbledown Alley shop. There he discovered a tunnel, and after opening the passage, Maple jumped into it without hesitation, but he immediately used the Animagus transformation after jumping in. In this dark environment, bats are more suitable for mobility than their bodies.

After flying into the tunnels, Maple soon discovers an underground chamber with more than one person in it, and it seems that it is just in time for their party.

Here, Maple sees a lot of ragged wizards with faces that seem to have become unusually pale and emaciated from chronic nutritional deficiencies.

They stood in the middle of the hall in twos and threes, but they were silent and did not make a sound, and their eyes were fixed on the door in front of them. And beside them, except for a few people on the front side empty-handed, everyone else carried a few unconscious children with them.

It's disgusting that they have captured so many children!

What are they doing with so many children, looking at their hungry appearance, it can't be eaten!

Maple quickly let go of this idea that he thought was unlikely, and began to search for Ike and Mary among the children.

By the way, it occurred to him that he didn't remember what Ike and Mary looked like. Forget it, look at how many of these children are dressed no better than these down-and-out wizards, they are all poor people, how many can be saved!

Maple was about to find a hidden place to turn back into his original form and then sneak up on the men.

Then the door in front opened, and out of it came a wizard who was noticeably much cleaner than the down-and-out people outside, and in his hand was a little boy who was also dressed cleaner than the children outside.

Then, Maple noticed that the pale faces of the wizards outside instantly showed a look of longing, and looking at the direction of their instantly lit eyes, it was the little boy who came out in the hands of the person who came out.

"This boy is not satisfied," said the neatly dressed wizard grinning, and after swiping the corner of his mouth slightly mockingly from among the down-and-out wizards in front of him, he picked one of the lucky ones, pointed and said, "It's yours!" ”

Around the person who was pointed, everyone had a look of envy on their faces, and after the neatly dressed wizard said this, everyone except for the lucky one had a look of disappointment on their faces.

"Vampires!" As the neatly dressed man spoke, the bared teeth immediately made Maple understand what kind of scum was gathering here. After knowing the identity of their vampires, the mystery and puzzle on their bodies just now immediately became clear, and their pale faces were not due to malnutrition, but their identity was vampires.

Unexpectedly, one of the ideas he had thought was a joke turned out to be the truth, and knowing what the lucky man was going to do to the poor boy, Maple immediately became angry.

Maybe these vampires weren't born either, they used to be poor people too, but judging by the more or less innocent children in each of their hands at the scene, none of them were innocent here. Hoping that every vampire will only drink the blood bags of the hospital like Guo Tianyou is destined to be an unrealistic delusion.

There was a noise in the tunnel behind him, and it seemed that another newcomer had successfully captured his prey and returned, but Maple ignored it completely.

No matter how many people come, it will be the same death, and I will do the right thing for heaven today and thoroughly clean up these scum and scum.

"Shadowless!" The neatly dressed vampire had no idea of this, and he didn't have any vigilance at all when they were all the same kind at the scene. And the reason why such a smooth raid was completed was due to the fact that Animagus contributed a lot. As the flames of Maple's anger rose, Blade seemed to exert more power than ever, and the sinister right hand of the neatly dressed vampire holding the child was cut off directly, and the blood flowed profusely.

After Maple flew into the air and directly appeared and released the Divine Blade, he transformed into a bat again to dodge the next attack.

"Damn, you are looking for death!" The vampire with the severed arm cursed, but before he could open his mouth to order the vampires below to retaliate, a second attack arrived, and as he flew closer, Maple aimed at his head.

I don't know if it was because of the slow reaction or the unexpected surprise, after Maple fired two spells, the vampire below reacted and waved his wand at Maple.

What an overestimation of you!

While every vampire has a wand to Maple's surprise, their level is just too bad.

They didn't react until Maple had killed a man in a raid.

By the time they raised their wands and uttered a spell, Maple had cast a super-iron spell on herself, and then rushed towards the vampire horde, killing them like a tiger in a flock of sheep.

It seems that most of these vampires haven't touched their wands much, and almost none of them are new, and some are even worse than Ron's wand with unicorn fur. After discovering that they were unfamiliar with spells and had little effect on Maple, some of the vampires began to bare their fangs and claws and pounce on Maple.

But these attacks weren't enough to tickle Maple's Iron Armor Charm, and Maple only then realized that the wizard he had just come in during the raid was not a vampire, but a Ministry of Magic agent who had tracked the missing child's tracks.
