Chapter 704: Attacked, Death Eaters and Fire Dragons
On the last day of July, Kyle and Cedric, who had nothing to gain in the morning, decided to temporarily end their mission to hunt down the Dementors outside.
Mainly since the last time the Daily Prophet published the content about the bounty, most of the Dementors who were hanging around outside have disappeared all at once.
Of course, that's not to say they've all been swapped out for Galleons...... A hundred Galleons is tempting, but there aren't many wizards who can kill Dementors, and they won't be that fast.
Kyle guesses that most of the vanished Dementors are supposed to be hiding, as Death Eaters read newspapers too.
Now that the Dementors have gone from being a scourge that everyone fears to a fragrant Golden Galleon, it is natural that Voldemort could not watch his group of right-hand men be carved up.
But that's fine, at least don't worry about any more Muggles being affected.
And after the Dementors are hidden, it is more convenient to catch them all, and the only problem now is to find the specific location.
But that's what Dumbledore had to think about.
After making their decision, Kyle and Cedric are ready to go back, but before they can do so, they need to go to the last address on the booklet.
This address had only been discovered a few minutes earlier, and it was apparently someone had spotted the Dementors' traces and reported it to the Ministry of Magic.
They've been busy for a few days anyway, and this one isn't bad.
"Did you think someone would arrive early this time?" Cedric asked.
"Who knows." Kyle said, "But this address is just now, so I guess no one is there yet." ”
"It's finally over......" Cedric rubbed his forehead, "I don't care, you have to give me three days off when I go back this time." ”
"Don't you like flying?" Kyle laughs and says, "It's not uncommon for a Quidditch match to last a week, and you can't be a professional player like that." ”
"Can this be the same?" Cedric said angrily, "You don't have to worry about Dementors on the Quidditch pitch. ”
"That's right......," Kyle shrugged, "but whether you take a holiday or not, it's not up to me to do it." ”
"Then I don't care, anyway, I can't lose my salary this month." Cedric said with some scoundrels.
Kyle was a little stunned, and it was hard to imagine that this was what Cedric could say......
"It's not important about the holidays......" Kyle glanced at him, "and it's better to have less contact with Fred and George in the future, and don't learn from their bad tricks." ”
"They're far worse than you." Cedric muttered quietly,
The two soon arrived in Hampshire, but they flew for half an hour at the address and found no sign of the Dementors, but they saw three wizards over a wood.
Two men and a woman, also riding broomsticks, and a large box with a lock next to them.
Before they could get closer, Kyle heard their excited chatter.
"A living Dementor is two hundred Galleons, how lucky."
"yes, I didn't expect these guys to become so valuable......
"It's a pity that there is only one, otherwise you will really get rich......"
Needless to guess, the box must be filled with Dementors.
"Looks like someone came before us." Cedric whispered, "I didn't expect anyone to catch the Dementors alive, they're pretty good." ”
Kyle nodded.
Catching Dementors is much harder to catch than killing them, because every breath of a Dementor can greatly weaken a wizard's combat power...... Unless there are multiple Patronus to enclose it.
There were three of them, so I guess that's how it works.
Kyle glanced at the three of them who were talking and laughing, and didn't mean to say hello, but turned around with Cedric, preparing to go directly back to the Ministry of Magic.
However, just then, a tree guard suddenly emerged from Kyle's collar and stabbed him in the neck with a sharp finger.
Almost subconsciously, Kyle resides the direction of the broomstick again and crashes into Cedric next to him.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Cedric, who was unprepared, almost fell off the broom.
"Kyle, why are you ......" Cedric was just halfway through his sentence when he saw three spells pass in front of him, and the direction was exactly where Kyle was before.
There is no need to explain this.
"Wait!" Cedric subconsciously lifted the illusion spell and looked at the three people not far away, "We just happened to pass by, there is no malice, and we won't rob your Dementors......"
"Kill that superfluous!"
Before he could finish his sentence, three more spells flew over.
Although Cedric had tried to dodge as much as he could, a spell fell on his broomstick.
A puff of black smoke rose from the tail of the broomstick, and Cedric staggered downward.
Kyle was about to pull him when he was blocked by an oncoming spell and had to turn around.
"I didn't expect you to get away with it...... "One of the three people on the other side said a bearded wizard, "I really deserve to be the champion of the Triwizard Tournament." ”
"You know me?" Kyle glanced down quickly, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Cedric in mid-air having pulled out his wand.
"Of course, you're worth a lot right now." A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the other bearded wizard, "The Dark Lord said that whoever can kill you will receive the supreme honor and the most generous reward. ”
"A great reward?" Kyle asked curiously, "What is it, ten thousand Galleons?"
"If so, we can work together."
"Cooperation?" The bearded wizard couldn't keep up with Kyle's train of thought, and he couldn't figure out how to work together.
"It's easy." Kyle explained, "I'll make a polyjuice potion, and if you let the guy behind you drink it, and then kill him, won't you be able to get the reward?"
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone, when the time comes, we will be rewarded with 19 points, and you will take the lion's share."
As soon as Kyle's words fell, the man behind the bearded wizard suddenly became nervous, and the wand in his hand subconsciously changed direction.
"Idiot!" The bearded wizard scolded.
Then he turned to look at Kyle, "Do you think this little trick can get us to fight?" Stop dreaming. No one can deceive the great Dark Lord, and no one dares to do so. ”
"That's right." The bearded wizard said, "And the reward given by the Dark Lord is not a vulgar thing like Garon, so you can't share it!" ”
"I don't think Garon is vulgar." Kyle muttered, "By the way, you didn't mean to be waiting for me here, and if so, how did you know I'd be passing through here?" ”
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and kill him?" The witch of the three looked at Kyle grimly, her eyes full of unforgettable hatred, "You should have thought that you would be today, when you killed my brother......"
"Your brother?" Kyle was confused, "Who." ”
"Amikuskaro!" The witch screamed.
Carol? Kyle remembered that this man seemed to be the Death Eater in the Valley of the Giants.
"No, you're looking for the wrong person!" Kyle said, "It was Hagrid who killed your brother, you should go to him, what does it have to do with me."
"You can't just pinch my soft persimmon because you can't beat the half-blood giant."
"All of you have to die!" The witch said a little frantically, "You are the first, and soon they will be with you!" ”
"You're so confident you can kill me?"
"Do you think you'll be able to run away?" The witch sneered, "Klaus said you were tricky, and it seems to me that you are no more, and there is no one else here who can help you!" ”
"Why don't we discuss it?" Kyle hesitated, "I'll tell you where Hagrid is, you go find him first......"
"Shut up, don't think I don't know you're stalling!" The witch interrupted him.
"Don't worry, by the time the Aurors arrive, you'll already be killed by us.
"Okay......" Kyle spread his hands, "but why do you say so much when you know I'm stalling?" ”
"Avada suo!" A green light struck instantly.
However, in the next second, Kyle had a huge body in front of him, and at the same time, he blocked the flying life-seeking spell.
The pitch-black scales shone with a faint cold light, and the Death Curse struck them, and several scales quickly turned a grayish-white color.
But in front of Nober's huge body, these scales didn't have much effect.
"Fire, fire dragon?"
The three Death Eaters were stunned, and the bearded wizard rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
How can there be a fire dragon here?
Before he could figure it out, Noble, enraged by the Curse, opened his mouth and spewed a scorching dragon flame at the three of them.
They subconsciously want to run. But Kyle wasn't ready to give them that chance.
"There are many obstacles!"
"Faint!"
In order to evade Kyle's spell, they have to forcibly change their direction.
However, after a moment's pause, one of the Death Eaters was overwhelmed by the dragon flames and fell on the spot.
Although the other two escaped by luck, they were not much better, the sky is the home of the fire dragon, and this gap cannot be made up by riding a broomstick.
Noble flapped his wings and sped for the nearest Death Eater.
The bearded wizard had never felt his broom so slow, and in just a moment, he felt like he was being covered in a shadow.
He couldn't help but turn around and shout:
"I surrender, I, armor ......"
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a thick, scaly tail whipped at him.
With a loud bang, he slammed directly into the ground.
In the end, the witch named Caro was left.
It happened so fast that she didn't even know what it was about, and the three-on-one became one-on-one.
Although she really wants to kill Kyle, there is a raging fire dragon behind her, and the increasing temperature around her makes her dare not turn back at all, and she just wants to escape from here as soon as possible.
The fire dragon followed closely behind, getting closer and closer......
However, just as Noble was about to catch up with Caro, two more hooded Death Eaters appeared nearby.
Two life-requiring spells struck at the same time, forcing Noble to stop in mid-air.
When did Noble receive this kind of anger, he immediately swooped down, and the scorching dragon flames rushed towards the place where the two Death Eaters were.
But before that, the two Death Eaters had vanished.
Kyle flies over and calms the grumpy Nobel.
Although it is unknown who the two Death Eaters who appeared behind them were, the witch named Caro had already run away by the time they dragged Noble to him.
Kyle didn't plan to chase it either.
If he wanted to, he would definitely be able to catch up with the other party with the speed of the fire crossbow arrow, but he didn't know if there were any ambushes around, so it was better not to risk it for the sake of safety...... After all, he's not alone.
When Kyle falls back to the ground, he quickly finds Cedric leaning against a tree.
Although he used a spell to slow down his fall, he was still thrown lightly.
"How are you?" Kyle asked.
"It's fine." Cedric gritted his teeth, his leg twisted into a very strange position, it should have been broken.
"What about you, are you alright?" He gasped, "And who those three people are." ”
"Death Eaters." Kyle said.
"Sure enough, those guys." Cedric handed the booklet to Kyle, "I've informed the Aurors, they should be over soon." ”
Kyle took the booklet and glanced at it, adding an extra line after the latest address.
"Dark wizard found, urgent ......"
This was a new addition to Cedric, and the Auror also had several copies of this booklet, so in order to avoid wasting time, as long as he added or modified any of them, the others would be changed accordingly.
This means that the Aurors will be able to come over soon.
"You wait here." Kyle stood up and walked towards the woods.
"Where are you going?" Cedric said anxiously: "Danger, come back quickly." ”
Kyle didn't stop at all, and soon he found the two Death Eaters who had fallen earlier.
However, to Kyle's surprise, the bearded wizard was whipped by Noble by the tail and fell from the sky, and was still alive, even limping to escape.
I guess I completed the Iron Armor Spell at the last second......
Kyle didn't think much of it and walked over directly.
"Damn it!" The Death Eater said in a hoarse voice, "Dark Lord...... I won't let you go! ”
"I don't need you to remind me."
Kyle didn't talk nonsense either, and directly took out his wand and pointed it at the other party.
"What do you want to do......" The other party's cold sweat came down instantly, "You can't ...... Can't kill me...... Dumbledore won't allow ......"
"Regent!"
The Death Eater's eyes immediately drifted.
……
"Smack, smack, smack!"
A few seconds later, a series of crisp explosions were heard around them...... The Aurors have arrived.
"Forget it!"
"Kyle!" Chris ran over quickly and asked nervously, "How are you, are you alright?" ”
"I'm fine, Dad." Kyle smiled, "He just tried to run away and was caught by me. ”
"Leave it to the Aurors." Chris said, "Come with me, and I'll take you to St. Mungo." ”
"I'm fine, just send Cedric." Kyle said, "But Daddy, why are you here?" ”
"Amos recognized Cedric's handwriting, and I guessed you met the Death Eaters." Chris asked eagerly, "What the hell is going on." ”
"It should be the Death Eaters preparing to take the Dementors, and we just happened to bump into them." Kyle said.
This is what he saw from the bearded wizard's head.
Originally, Kyle thought that the other party had set a trap for himself, but he didn't expect it to be just a coincidence.
The Death Eaters came to deliver Voldemort's message to the Dementors and took them away, just as he and Cedric arrived.
The hidden effect of the illusion spell is not very good during the day, and after noticing the two of them, the other party plays such a play, planning to do a big deal before leaving, and go back to ask Voldemort to take credit.
And then the scene just happened.
But what Kyle didn't expect was that he was so valuable, whether he lived or died, as long as he could bring him back, in addition to becoming a core Death Eater, Voldemort would personally improve the strength of the other party.
This salary is simply higher than Harry's, and it's no wonder that these people's eyes turned red when they saw them.
At this time, Scrimgeour also arrived, and he looked around and frowned slightly after noticing the place that had been swept by the dragon flames.
"It's not like a normal fire charm."
"It's a Death Eater." Kyle said angrily, "Those crazy guys, they're so disgusting. ”
"I see." Scrimgeour nodded, not caring that much.
The Death Eaters' dark magic was so strange that the Fire Charm was indeed their usual method.
The corners of Chris's mouth twitched slightly, he glanced at Kyle, and finally said nothing.
Amos Diggory then uses the portkey to leave the area with Kyle and the injured Cedric and return to the Ministry of Magic.
After they left, Scrimgeour walked over to a charred tree and reached out and touched its trunk.
"Chris, come and see, this can't be dragon fire."
"Ah, it's not." Chris also touched the trunk of the tree, took a deep breath, and said with a calm expression: "The sulfur smell of dragon burn will be stronger, and the adhesion will be stronger, the ...... that appears here It should just be a special magic flame. ”
"That's good." Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief, "If there's a fire dragon in the Death Eaters, it's really troublesome. ”
"yes." Chris echoed.
"But your son is really good." Scrimgeour said with a smile, "Facing two Death Eaters, one was beaten away and one captured alive, he was simply a natural Auror, and it was a bit too wasteful of talent to be in a place like the Minister's Office." ”
"Ahem......" Chris laughed, but quickly returned to normal, and coughed dryly, "I have to warn you, Rufus, that you must not say that in the ministry." ”
"Of course I won't." Scrimgeour said, "But you really should convince Kyle to be an Auror, he's a good fit for this." ”
"I will." Chris smiled and said, "But in the end, how to choose depends on Kyle's opinion." ”
