Chapter 259: Zombie Dog?!
But before Ted and Hermione had finished their first butterbeer, a bell rang out the window!
"Huh? Is it already so late? Ron thought it was dinner time.
But Ted: They know it's not!
"What bell is striking at this time?" Jerry wondered.
He reminded Ted in one sentence: "It's not good, it's a wake-up call!" ”
I said before that I was afraid that this bell had not been rung for ten years, but now it has been runged.
Ted rushed out of the tavern first, his wand already in his hand.
As soon as the friends saw Ted like this, they immediately followed.
When the other students saw this, their blood boiled, and they pulled out their wands and shouted, "Go help Ted!" ”
Six or seven people rushed out of the tavern in droves, startling the other drinkers.
Boss: Fortunately, I collected the money first, otherwise it would have been a big loss!
……
Time rewinds to last night.
Basel cries and hugs his swallow-tailed dog, Sanchi, and stumbles out of the Forbidden Forest.
His Sanji is an experienced hound and is also familiar with the Forbidden Forest.
Basel, on the other hand, is engaged in small business of buying and selling.
As I said before, the basic life of a wizard is considered worry-free, so there are many such wizards who do not have a serious livelihood.
They are generally short of money, so they do some small business, or work part-time, and lie down again when they have nothing to do.
Basel plans to renovate his house before winter comes, and plans to pick some herbs in the Forbidden Forest to sell.
When he was in school, he did well in herbology, and he had to pick herbs to cope with the lack of money over the years.
Although the Forbidden Forest nominally belongs to Hogwarts, such a large area of the Enchanted Forest must not be like a feudal lord, whoever goes in to hunt will hang him!
Generally as long as you're not the kind of magical beast that is on the list of malicious poachers, the other behavioral schools don't care.
It's like picking medicine, catching some legal magical beasts or something, it's okay.
The main thing is that you can't manage it if you want to, Hagrid and those poachers are hard enough to play hide and seek.
Generally, this kind of behavior doesn't care at all, and even if it looks pleasing to the eye, it will help.
Because of Sanchi, the swallowtail dog, Hagrid also helped Basel twice.
This time too, when Basel came out of the Forbidden Forest with a dovetail dog that was no longer breathing, not long after Basel came out of the Forbidden Forest with mud and blood stains, he was spotted by Hagrid.
When he saw Hagrid, Basel hugged Sanji and cried.
According to him, it was when he stepped on the moonshade in the woods that he was attacked by a crazy Tebo warthog!
And Sanchi, trying to protect him, was stabbed in the abdomen by Tebo Warthog.
Although Basel had smeared Sanchi with white essence, it still didn't survive.
Hagrid can empathize with this, the Magical Beasts in the Forbidden Forest have been a little nervous lately, and something might be going on.
"Poor Sanchi......" Hagrid also shed a few tears the size of grape grains.
When Basel returned to Hogsmeade's house, he reluctantly buried Sanchi in the back of the house and erected a monument.
However, what he didn't expect was that in the afternoon of this day, when he went to the grave to pay respects to Sander, Sand actually crawled out of the soil!
Then he attacked Basel, who was full of joy and sorrow, and was shocked and shocked......
Before Basel could pull out his wand, he was bitten by Sanchi.
His cries for help alarmed the neighbors, and the "resurrected" Sanchi tore at his master like madness.
Even after being hit by three spells, he still crawled towards the nearby villagers, and his mouth was "clicking" with sharp teeth.
In the panic, I don't know who used a magic wand to turn the alarm bell, attracting more people's attention.
By the time Ted arrived, the "Resurrected Sanchi" had already been subdued. He was followed by eight or nine Hogwarts wizards, and the number came up at once.
There were already six or seven wizards around the scene, and two were bitten.
One had multiple wounds on his body, a lot of blood, and the other was bitten on the arm.
The onlookers were talking:
"What's going on?"
"Sanji is crazy?!"
"But I heard that Sanchi died last night. Basel buried it in his backyard! ”
"And what is it now?"
"It doesn't look normal!"
Can it be normal?
The swallowtail dog's gray hair, rolling eyes, and a lot of sticky saliva came out of his mouth, and there was a faint rancid smell on his body, and even if he was controlled by a spell, he was still smacking at the people nearby!
There is no such thing as a rabies offender!
The first time Ted saw it, he had an impression in his heart: zombie dog?!
He had a thrill in his heart!
If it's the Resident Evil T virus, it's over!
I'm afraid magic can't control the spread of that thing!
For a while, cold sweat oozed out. But soon he discovered that the "zombie swallowtail dog" had magic fluctuations on his body.
Very different mana fluctuations, never seen before.
Ted beckoned into the air, and Ansu landed on his shoulder.
Ted whispered, and Ansu nodded, flapping her wings and flying in the direction of the school.
……
This eventually alarmed Minister of Magic, Fudge.
Of course, it may be because Dumbledore intervened, but a swallow-tailed dog that has been resurrected after death and gone crazy is indeed unusual.
Especially after the two wounded were diagnosed by the healer in St. Mungo's with a strange curse, things were even more unusual.
Resurrection!
Crazy!
Curse!
These three words are intertwined, how can it be ordinary.
Dumbledore had already carefully examined the zombie swallow-tailed dog, not a zombie to be exact, but an undead swallowdog.
Good news: it's not a T-virus.
Bad news: it's a scourge of the dead! At least a necromancer, right?
Is there such a thing as a necromancer in this world? Some!
Otherwise, what are the mummies of Egypt, the zombie Taoists of the East, and the psychic people of Dongying?
Even the voodoo religion on the African side is especially good at making resurrected corpses, communicating with the dead, and even contacting the "gods"!
It's just that in recent decades, as wizards from Africa have joined the International Confederation of Wizards, there have been fewer and fewer non-conforming things.
If you look at it now, there are more of them in South America.
However, the undead dog in front of him is completely different from these local "death magic".
There's a terrible contagion to this thing!
If it weren't for the fact that Saint Mungo's doctor was really high-end, he discovered the residual magic in the wounds of the wounded in time, and then discovered this "curse of the dead", I am afraid that it would not take a few days for these two people to die.
And after death, they will also become undead who attack people like crazy, and can infect curses.
That's a big problem.
Europe experienced the Black Death in the Middle Ages!
Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope.
Suddenly, thirty or forty Aurors and beaters arrived at Hogsmeade with all kinds of equipment and equipment.
Some villages are closed and are not allowed to enter or leave; Some of them go straight to the Forbidden Forest to find the crazy Tebo warthog that Basel calls him.
St. Mungo's healers, along with some spell solvers and potions masters, are studying how to lift this curse, and may even need to study ways to prevent it.
Now there is a very bad speculation: if you are bitten, you will be cursed, you will die within two days of being cursed, and after death, you will continue to expand the scope of the curse, which is based on the number of various magical animals in the Forbidden Forest...... It's terrifying!
This time, the Ministry of Magic also realized the danger, and it can be said that it has made a bloody investment.
Six giant magical devices with a diameter of more than two meters and a height of three and a half meters were placed around Hogsmeade, forming a six-pointed circle, and then propping up a huge magical barrier capable of enveloping the entire village!
That's a feat.
Ted knew that Hogwarts had similar magical barriers, but it didn't have such a large area, and it had been improved for thousands of years.
I didn't expect the Ministry of Magic to use the magic guidance technology of the gnomes to create such an advanced thing.
They don't eat dry food, either!
In addition, those Aurors and strikers all have some standard equipment on them, and they all have some familiar runes on them.
This is the rune equipment technology of the dwarves......
It's okay, multiracial communication has progressed.
But there are still problems, mainly due to the lack of manpower.
The number of wizards has always been a big problem.
There are about 30,000 in the UK, but they are very scattered.
The Ministry of Magic, on the other hand, has even fewer violent divisions dedicated to combat.
Usually capable wizards really don't want to be an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, let alone a striker, and their combat effectiveness level is much worse.
It is probably the difference between the armed police and the people's police.
This man was not enough, so someone proposed the Dementors again......
