Burst--

In the dead of night, a crisp, short pop appeared on the deserted streets, and the dust floating in the air was disturbed, wandering aimlessly in the air, and the cold moonlight shone on a black shadow that suddenly appeared here, leaving a hideous silhouette on the dustless ground.

On the tall sign on the side of the road, the rusty 'Badley Barberton Village' is engraved to tell Golden Viper that he is not in the wrong place.

Walking past a phone booth and a bus shelter, you will see a narrow but straight street that stretches beyond the village.

On both sides of the street sat two rows of houses of the same style, probably because of the bleakness of the night, and the ethereal mist on the roofs of the detached houses, encouraged by the breeze that roamed the wilderness, constantly changed shape, dragging the quiet and peaceful village into a strange atmosphere.

Quack –

The midnight bell of the church startled away a few crows resting on the roof cross, and the crows flapped their wings and threw themselves into the darkness of the night in panic.

Da, da, da-

In the sky, a large dark cloud seemed to harmonize with the footsteps, and the clear moonlight gradually graced, and when the earth was shrouded in deeper darkness, the golden viper's footsteps stopped at the end of the street, in front of a neat little stone house nestled in the garden.

Staring at this inconspicuous room, the corners of the golden viper's mouth behind the whirlpool of gloomy magic power showed a cold smile.

A few hours earlier, Amosta had been drinking tea with the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet on some of London's busiest commercial pedestrian streets, and a few hours later, Amosta had crossed half of England to this little-known village, for the sake of Rita Skeeter's report.

In good faith, Amelia offered to negotiate with Rita Skeeter to suspend the publication of the article.

This kind of thing is a common occurrence for the Ministry of Magic, and whenever there is a report that threatens the authority of the Ministry of Magic, these senior officials of the Ministry of Magic will use their influence and connections to prevent the article from being published, otherwise, public opinion will be together, and there will be no room for things to turn around.

Amosta believed that Amelia was capable of handling the problem, but instead of throwing it out, he offered to solve it himself.

Staying mysterious is the best way to be awesome, and while the two are now in a partnership, Amosta also needs to show Bones what he's capable of in due time, so he offers to take matters into his own hands.

But judging by the reactions of the two after hearing this, they probably thought they were going to kill Rita Skeeter.

Of course, it would have been a safe bet to kill Rita Skeeter or negotiate with her before this article came out, but he didn't bother to do it, and Rita Skeeter didn't have that weight.

The most important purpose of his presence tonight is simply to prove to Bones that he has what it takes to set things right.

"Ho, it's you--"

The golden viper stood in front of the wooden gate of the garden, but did not go any further, but looked at the small garden in front of him planted with all kinds of drought-resistant precious flowers and the two-story building made of stones, and muttered with a smile, and after a moment of contemplation, the right hand holding the magic wand was stretched out under the black travel cloak.

Shout--

The golden viper's wrist shook rapidly, and a cyan ribbon-like band of light peeked out of the tip of the wand, twisting and twisting in the air, and then, bursting out of the air.

The ribbon rose in the wind, enveloping the house like a cyan python, and the other end of the ribbon still implicated the golden viper's wand.

Bang!

In an instant, the ground was thundering.

The ground around the originally ordinary stone house suddenly shone brightly, and a huge magic array encompassing the garden and the golden viper himself appeared on the flat ground, and the miserable white light array exuded an ominous black halo, and a seemingly nonexistent roar filled the golden viper's ears.

Ghostly and ghostly figures sprung up from the black halos, opening their jaws full of jagged teeth and striking at the intruders.

At the same time, on the ground of the small garden planted with many flowers, miniature magic arrays suddenly appeared, and many protective spells that had already been set up shot towards the golden viper like a storm!

"Ho-ho, I deserve such a grand welcome ceremony--"

Faced with this magical trap that could instantly flatten the majestic and magnificent buildings of Gringotts, Amosta showed ease, and a milky white, indestructible magical shield instantly appeared, enveloping his body.

An endless stream of spells wiped out Amosta's foothold inch by inch, but he was against the bright magic barrier, floating in mid-air like a reef among the wolves, even if the wind and rain were blowing, still strong!

As the lights in the stone house came on one after the other, Amosta could even hear the sound of hurried footsteps and broken lamps.

Just as he was about to say hello, the dark color of the house on the other end of the light belt suddenly became lighter, and the stone house twisted and broke free under the effect of spatial magic, as if it had come to life.

Like the Black family's old mansion, this historic mansion in front of him also has a similar defense mechanism, once a wizard tries to break in, it will leave the normal space and hide in the unlocatable spatial turbulence, ordinary wizards encounter this kind of defense magic, then his attempt must have failed, but unfortunately, he encountered the golden viper.

The countless defensive spells exploded on the protective barrier around the golden viper, and at the same time, the impregnable barrier finally began to tremble slightly, but Amosta still did not remove the spell and strengthen the defense, and the cyan ribbon that emerged from the tip of his staff firmly tied the stone house, keeping it in place and not giving it a chance to escape.

"Get out of the fireplace!"

In the thunderous roar, a desperate roar came from the room,

"I don't know who the guy is, but we can't deal with him!"

"Where are you going, dear?"

There was another broken and weeping female voice in the room, and at the same time, there was a much younger, resolute girl's voice,

"I'm not going anywhere, Dad, I'm going to stay with you!"

"Listen to me, Beatrice!"

The man yelled,

"Go to Hogsmeade's Hogsmeade's Hoghead pub, the owner of the place is an acquaintance of Dumbledore, tell him about our attack, and he'll help relay it to Dumbledore, quick, Beatrice, Dumbledore promised me he'd strike if we were in danger!"

The two women inside looked as if they had given in, and through the dark window, the golden viper saw the unique green flames of Floo powder burning in the living room on the first floor, and they had already tried to leave through the Floo Net.

Bang, bang!

However, after the next two explosions, the mother and daughter flew out with embers and stones, smashed into the living room and hit the opposite wall.

Their attempt to escape through the Floo Net failed, and of course it was, since the house was sealed off, how could the Golden Viper leave this obvious loophole? Whether it's the Floo Net, the Portkey, or the Phantom Shifter, they are essentially the use of spatial magic, and the cyan light that wraps around the stone house has cut off its interaction with the outside space.

The people in the stone house seemed to be in despair, and they were hugging each other, crying for their final goodbyes.

Jin Viper felt that he was a little shameless, he had come to the door to ask for help, and it was okay to make a joke, but he scared people to this point--

"Ahem--"

The slightly innocent cough sound overwhelmed the roar of thunder and accurately entered the house, making the faces of the grieving family suddenly stiffen, and then, the words spoken by the familiar old voice made the male owner of the house look 'hideous' and distorted,

"Are old friends so unwelcome, Kakus?"
