Chapter 452: This Son Must Not Be Kept
A vast white world, and it is impossible to even distinguish between southeast and northwest.
Everything is white, you can't see it from afar, you can't see it clearly from near distance, giving people a feeling of being extremely confused and unable to choose.
Neville looked around a little confused, a little puzzled, "Am I not dead?" ”
He still remembered how Bella's extremely vicious killing curse hit his chest, and in an instant his life force seemed to be drained, and his soul began to rise and break away from his body.
The reason why Neville faced these people alone was to borrow the hands of the Death Eaters to end his life and take Voldemort's last Horcrux.
Originally, he also wanted to take the opportunity to take Bella, a criminal and bloody madwoman, away.
But Bella was cunning and ruthless enough, and after discovering that Neville's strength was unexpectedly strong, and he was very good at defense, she chose to sacrifice one of her companions - while Neville was attacking a Death Eater, a double spell first opened a large hole in his companion's body, and then a green light pierced through it, hitting Neville.
Bella was forced to use this tactic because Neville had already killed several more before.
"I shouldn't be a loss, right?" He looked down at his hands, his wand was gone, but he was wearing clothes, which turned out to be the basic Hogwarts school uniform.
"So, I'm dead, right? Am I in a soul state now? Neville didn't know where he was.
But a voice suddenly sounded: "That's right, Longbottom, you're dead, this should be a transit point for some recently dead soul." ”
"Who?!" Neville was startled and looked around vigilantly, but saw no figure.
The voice was a female voice, very unfamiliar and I hadn't heard it, who was it?
At this time, Neville suddenly felt that there was something in his chest, and he quickly reached out and took it out, only to find that it was a small bead.
This is the talisman that Ted gave himself before, and let himself carry it closely. How did you get here?
If Neville goes to the Celestial Empire, he will know that there is a custom over there, which is to bring money to cover his mouth and beat dog cakes for the deceased!
"Are you talking?" Neville asked.
The little bead suddenly trembled, and then turned into a very thin, curly cyan snake.
Neville was startled, and forced himself not to throw it away.
"Hello, Neville Longbottom." The little snake spat out the letter and spoke, "I was sent by Ted to help you, my name is Nagini. ”
Nagini?!
Neville knew the name, and he had heard Hermione talk about the woman's pathetic experience. It is said that she is now finding herself in the game. How did you turn into a snake and end up here?
"Y-You're dead, too?" Neville asked.
Nagini hovered one of his fingers, "I'm not dead, I guess it's out of my body." After all, my body has turned into a snake, and it is not suitable for my soul to return for the time being. However, I have regained my humanity and memories. ”
Neville nodded, and he heard it in a fog, although he was very good at breathing, holy light magic, herbal cultivation, and demonic combat, but in other fields, he still didn't know anything.
For example, in the shadow field that Jerry studied, Ron's magic mechanics, machine soul joy and so on, I don't understand it at all.
The only overlap with her partner's research field may be Harry's magic condensation.
What kind of soul, human nature, is very complicated when you hear it. Like Ted's field of study.
"You said Ted asked you to help me, what's the matter?" Neville asked.
"You're dead now." Nagini stressed again.
Neville nodded: I see, can you say something else? Poke me in the wound?
Nagini couldn't make out the expression on her snake face, but Neville always felt she was smiling.
Nagini: "But don't worry, you're dead, but you're not dead. ”
"This amulet that Ted gave you is a talisman to protect the soul. Although the Killing Charm leaves your soul out of your body, your soul is not harmed because of the protection of the amulet. As long as you find a way out of here, you can be reborn! ”
"Getting out of here? How to get out of here? Neville asked hurriedly.
Who wants to die if they can live?
My friends, my classmates, and my own Ginny are still waiting for me!
Nagini was a little smug: "That's why Ted asked me to help you, because I've been here in the process of finding myself, and I'm experienced." So come and help you! ”
"What are we going to do?" Neville was a little impatient.
Nagini: "First of all, we have to move. ”
"Moving?"
"yes, let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Go in any direction. In short, it is definitely not okay to stay where you are. And there is no concept of direction here, as long as you walk, you will always come. Let's go. ”
"Okay!" Neville picked a random direction and began to make great strides. As she observed, she communicated with Nagini and asked her about her last experience here.
……
Even as Neville was conducting his final "trial", the battle in reality did not stop.
It can even be said that it has intensified!
Because this time, although it broke the Ministry of Magic's stronghold in Hogsmeade Village, it occupied the entire village. So now in the entire British wizarding world, only Hogwarts has not been captured.
However, the casualties are really large.
And the kind of real Death Eaters who suffered heavy casualties, which they hadn't had in previous battles.
Those wizards of the living dead, monster cannon fodder, and even those magical races that have taken refuge in them, are dead and dead. But the Death Eaters are Voldemort's direct subordinates after all, not to mention the weakening of strength, and they can't get over that face!
In particular, although the Ministry of Magic failed to retreat to the school, the loss was not large, and it was replaced by huge casualties.
The Death Eaters, on their part, were a little weak when they wanted to brag about their defeat.
Because of the defeat in this battle, even Bella was scolded by Voldemort several times.
In his opinion, just these few rotten garlic, you actually played this kind of battle loss ratio? What a fucking shit!
I just don't expect anything from you anymore, you can all disappoint me, right?!
However, after Bella said that she killed the golden boy Neville Longbottom, Voldemort's attitude was obviously much better.
Although he still said something: that boy should be dealt with by me personally, you have caused me a lot less fun or something.
But it's just a matter of honesty.
The death of such an old enemy still made his heart flutter.
Therefore, the matter of casualties is over.
However, the Dark Lord was still a little curious, how did he cause such a large number of casualties?
After all, the traditional wizard magic system does not have any special lethality, or magic with a large range and wide impact. All that nonsense from the Ministry of Magic, how did you kill so many of me?
It's 50,000 pigs, and you can't catch them all in three days!
So, he examines the memories of a surviving Death Eater.
At this glance, I saw Ted floating in the sky as if he was a god and demon, with a bright ball of light behind him, and thunder and lightning flowing in his hands, and thunder and lightning raining down from the sky like rain, killing one Death Eater and monster after another.
The whole scene is like divine punishment!
Voldemort watched this scene, and also deeply felt the fear of his Death Eaters, who penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and was silent for a long time.
That's really a look at a non-squeak.
Because of Ted's performance at that time, what do you say? Bluffing! It's so bluffing!
It's a little, a bit like Payne's "carrying a bag of rice on several floors" to make Konoha Village feel painful.
What a supermodel!
At that time, Voldemort had an urge in his heart - to kill him!
The boy was only 17 years old, and he had already reached the pinnacle of wizarding. In a few years, he will always get a glimpse of the legendary realm. It's Dumbledore again!
Without further ado, there must not be another Grindelwald to interfere with me!
Voldemort: This son is terrifying, and he must not stay!
The Death Eaters and the outer dark wizards only knew that the crazy woman Bella was really crazy, and they didn't care about it when their heads were hot.
But they didn't expect that Bella would only be a small thing in front of Voldemort.
Voldemort is crazy, where can Bella compare?
Just after a big battle, seven or eight hundred wizards passed, and less than two hundred came back alive, three thousand necromancers, six or seven thousand cannon fodder monsters, and all the troops were wiped out.
As a result, Voldemort only let everyone rest for one night, and the next day he notified all his British and surrounding men, and they all gathered together to finish the battle!
This time, the Dark Lord is going to take it personally!
Good guy, you just survived a big war, you have nightmares all night, and you're going to war the next day?
I knew that today, I might as well have run deep into the mountains and old forests to be a savage!
Lao Tzu is here to enjoy the glory and wealth, and to enjoy the recklessness. Didn't you come to die!
But it's too late to say anything, you mark the Dark Lord, and that is the slave and servant of the Dark Lord.
If you disobey, or make the Dark Lord angry, then he will let you know that there are things worse than death.
In just a few hours, Voldemort had gathered almost all of the active men on this side.
There are probably more than 400 wizards and less than 500, monsters are only in their early 1,000s, only 200 are above level 10, and only thirty or forty are above level 14.
This has already left Germany and several neighboring countries empty. Almost all of the Death Eaters have gathered.
But the Dark Lord personally took action, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Follow the flag and shout. Let's mix~
So, on Christmas Eve, December 24, Voldemort personally led his troops north and settled in the somewhat rotten village of Hogsmeade.
"Give Hogwarts an ultimatum to hand over Bones and Epifani and the others, the Dark Lord is not to blame in the past, and will be my good servant in the future. Otherwise, tomorrow there will be a big war, and the British wizarding world will probably be cut off! ”
Voldemort's ultimatum was conveyed by Bella herself.
Before dinner in the afternoon, Bella's shrill voice with a little nervousness resounded like rolling thunder around Hogwarts, explaining Voldemort's "mercy".
He also added a lot of compliments to Voldemort and humiliating the Ministry of Magic.
At this time, the school was already full.
Even the Black Lagoon and the Quidditch pitch were full of tents.
Everyone is busy preparing for the next battle.
Regarding the fall of Hogsmeade Village, some people feel pessimistic, and some people think that the fight is not bad, after all, the other party has suffered heavy casualties, and their own side is much lighter than that.
Besides, Hogwarts, as a thousand-year-old school of witchcraft and wizardry, is definitely no worse than the temporarily reinforced Hogsmeade.
Will the Death Eaters be able to live with that kind of loss for once?
But speaking of which, Ted's ability to master thunder and lightning is simply handsome!
After the night raid, Ted is now a different image in everyone's minds.
Now, even those directors and directors of the Ministry of Magic are extremely polite when they see Ted.
The other party is already an existence that he can't imagine!
However, everyone knows that there is a mysterious person on the other side who can't be named. That's the real Demon King!
As soon as Bella's voice rang out, everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by the Dark Lord again.
In a short period of time, people are panicked, and morale is -20!
There are also a few Death Eaters who retreated to the school with them, and they feel that this is a godsend, and it is time to show their loyalty to the Dark Lord and make a meritorious service!
Just talk to this and that, talk to that, how the battle is not optimistic, how terrible and powerful the Dark Lord is, and in the end we will all be killed!
Since the mystery man only asks for the handover of Ted and Minister Bones, then why don't we ...... Right?
It's better to just kill the two of them than to die with us, right?
Why should we be buried with them?!
Besides, the Dark Lord didn't say to kill them, maybe he didn't have to die?!
However, just over an hour later, a group of Aurors, led by Mad-Eye Moody, began to capture those who shook the morale of the army.
After all, in the previous two days of the battle, someone had destroyed the defensive circle internally, otherwise Hogsmeade Village would not necessarily be lost.
In the past two days, someone has been investigating this matter, and there are still people who dare to jump out!
Originally, Mad-Eye Moody was no longer an Auror instructor at the Ministry of Magic and should not have led the Aurors, but that iron-blooded hawk Scrimgeour died heroically in the Battle of Hogsmeade, and now there is no one in the school who has more prestige than Moody in the Aurors.
At dawn the next day, Voldemort came out of his makeshift laboratory, barefoot, with white skin as if he had been dead for three days, and simply dressed in a black robe, as if he was not wearing anything in the robe, highlighting a sense of ease.
"It seems that the other party has not chosen to accept my kindness?" He asked.
One of the Death Eaters on one side said, "Master, they caught a few of our undercover agents who had been assigned earlier. ”
Bella held up the silver hand that the Earth Demon had made for her, "Master, let me go!" I'll take people to break Hogwarts and capture them for their masters! ”
Voldemort looked at her: Don't blow it!
But just then, a Death Eater burst in: "No, it's not good master. Ancient and Gringotts were attacked......"
Gringotts has been attacked!
……
Although there was a chaotic few days after the Ministry of Magic was defeated, many Death Eaters were able to pry into the treasury at Gringotts, but not many of them succeeded.
Besides, Gringotts also has a long history and a deep heritage.
The savings and treasure troves of those dead wizards and families alone are a lot of money! It doesn't matter if someone grabs a point.
After the arrival of foreign goblins, it began to operate again.
These foreign goblins are even more daring, and even began to secretly speculate on gold in British Muggle society!
After all, although running a bank is very profitable, isn't it even more profitable to cut leeks? It's coming soon!
However, they goblins do know more about economics and finance than wizards, but they are far from the financial predators of Muggles who specialize in cutting leeks and even make a living out of it.
Now the situation is so chaotic, don't care about the dollar and the pound, all of them have depreciated badly, only gold has soared, hard currency. I don't know how many people are doing tricks and feet in it.
The goblins took Gringotts' Galleons and copied the bottom, and they were buried in less than three days and directly trapped.
That's when these goblins discovered the abomination of Muggles!
It's so damn damnable! Fairies, you all lie, there is no humanity!
But this matter has to be solved quickly, this is not his own money, this is the Dark Lord's money. The goblins just wanted to borrow money to make money, and they lost it.
If this is discovered by the Dark Lord, then it will not be directly withdrawn and turned into a zombie!
The goblins are tossing and turning, using limited funds to maintain the economic operation of the wizarding world, which can be described as sweating on their foreheads every day. The first reaction after work was: I have survived another day!
That's not the way to go!
So, someone figured it out.
After thinking about it, it ushered in the "Hogsmeade Village Victory"!
The Dark Lord is going to Hogwarts himself to defeat the last of the enemy's strongholds.
The goblins feel like this is their chance!
It just so happened that one of the goblins from Switzerland had a very valuable message. The goblins hit it off and took the risk.
It turned out that the place in Switzerland didn't know if the feng shui was bad or what, and there was always a risk of entering the other world.
There have been two major events before, the half-orc cave and the orc city.
And this goblin from Switzerland happens to know a secret, a secret about the invasion of the other world.
It turned out that there was an otherworldly entry point, which appeared very early, long before the magic net was covered, but because there was nothing abnormal, it was not discovered.
But that goblin knows, after all, it's a local!
He felt that this news would help the goblins settle their accounts, and those goblins pondered that they had already taken this step and could give it a try.
So there was this Gringotts attack!
Don't say it, it's really attacked, and it's not simple, it's actually a giant dragon that attacked Gringotts!
After that, before he left, he was on the side of His Excellency Gu Ling, and occupied all those treasure houses!
This is not the fire dragon of this world, it is a giant dragon, a dragon from another world!
A forty-meter-long dragon!
The goblins who woke up the dragon and provoked it were stupid: you didn't say it was that big!
This dragon that sleeps in a nest of gold on the side of Lord Gu Ling is called Smaug!
Thank you for the 100 points of "Quiet Love".
