Chapter 110 Shadow of the Demonic Dragon
The other three people no longer bothered to deal with Aquila's clone. They resisted Aquila's attack and tried to take the opportunity to knock Schelling down. Xie Lin had just cast spells continuously and had not yet regained his breath. He could only activate the protective functions of the Supreme Wizard Robe and Night Star Cloak, dodging and defending at the same time.
But Daphne and Meredith were not idle either. The two girls each used a stunning spell to knock out one person.
Morgadon protected Astoria behind him, so he didn't take action.
The only two people left on the other side leaned together in embarrassment. They were the leader and the only woman, and the woman's wand had also been broken.
The two wizards high in the sky also stopped screaming at this moment, probably because they were knocked unconscious.
Xie Lin opened a bottle of magic recovery potion and drank it. While recovering his breath, he pointed his wand at the two remaining enemies cautiously.
After a fight and seeing clearly the enemy's spell-casting techniques and habits, Xie Lin finally understood where his familiarity came from, and couldn't help but whisper: "Long time no see, Professor Lockhart."
The leader seemed stunned, took off his mask that was already full of cracks, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, my best student."
The man's true face was very handsome, it was Gilderoy Lockhart who had left Hogwarts for a year!
Since the end of his second year, Lockhart has seemed to disappear from the world, disappearing from the entire wizarding world. Xie Lin never saw him again and never heard of his whereabouts, but he never expected that he would appear here.
"Are you a member of the Dragon's Shadow? Did you enter Hogwarts for Meredith?" Xie Lin said coldly.
"Hahaha, I'm so glad you think so," Lockhart smiled a little exaggeratedly, even bursting into tears, "But, unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I went to Hogwarts to teach. That old bastard Dumbledore did it!"
"Do you think I'm happy to accept this damn job as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Lockhart sarcastically said: "This is a cursed job. Starting decades ago, every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Professors all die badly, and some even die. I write well, and the annual copyright fee alone is enough for me to live luxuriously. I am not a fool, so why would I apply for this position? "
Daphne couldn't help but ask: "Why did Dumbledore force you to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
Lockhart laughed crazily and said, "Hahaha, that's because I am a liar. My books and my deeds are all fake!" Lockhart's eyes swept over Sherrin and his party. He sneered: "It seems you didn't show the surprise I imagined. You must have guessed it a long time ago, right?"
Schelling was noncommittal. At this moment, he had the upper hand and was recovering his magic power, allowing Lockhart to continue to finish his words.
"Those so-called deeds have nothing to do with me," Lockhart's eyes flashed with strange light, "I just need to find the whereabouts of these wizards, gain their trust, and ask them how they were able to do those things. , and then I cast a clever forgetting spell on them, so that they would forget about it."
"Unfortunately, once I found a target and was about to take action, I was caught on the spot by Dumbledore. I begged him to admit his mistake. As a condition for letting me go, I had to go to Hogg for him. Woz taught for a year! I told him I wasn't good enough to teach, but you know what he said?"
Lockhart's eyes were full of hatred. "He actually said that it didn't matter at all! He told me that I didn't need to teach the students anything at all! I just needed to play the role of a buffoon and make myself look like a person with nothing but... A squib who knows nothing about fame...at least he needs to behave like this in front of Harry Potter and successfully arouse his disgust!"
"After all, I got 7 certificates in the OWL exam. I was able to travel to so many countries and find powerful wizards living in seclusion everywhere. How could I not be able to deal with a group of little green fairies? How could I even use a disarming spell? Don’t come out!” he seemed to be saying to himself. "He made me a complete and utter joke!"
Schelling understood everything now. No wonder Dumbledore would hire Lockhart as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It turned out that this was part of his "Harry Development Plan". He would use a negative case to show his personal experience and let the young Harry Leigh grew disgusted with him and quickly grew up not indulging in his current fame.
"Everything I did at Hogwarts was spread throughout the British wizarding world by students. My fans no longer believed in my books. Publishers closed their doors on me. Without income, I became poor. I was down and out and could only rely on borrowing money to live a precarious life. At this time, my master appeared..."
Lockhart's face began to look ferocious, "He gave me the power to take revenge on Hogwarts. In order to repay my master, I am willing to serve him and dedicate my meager strength! Okay. , The old memories are over, Xie Lin, you were my favorite student, I don’t want to hurt you, please leave with the two Greengrass ladies!”
Xie Lin frowned, wondering if Lockhart was out of his mind? It was clear that his side had the upper hand now!
Thinking back to the fact that he and others were blocked in a remote corner and accurately ambushed by the enemy, a ridiculous idea quickly flashed through Xie Lin's mind. A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Xie Lin's heart, and he shouted: "Mei, careful!"
Sherin turned around, only to see Mogarton cast three Stunning Spells at once to knock out the three girls, then showed an evil sneer, grabbed the unconscious Meredith, and disappeared from the scene with an Apparition.
Sherin shot a very fast Crushing Spell at him, but was blocked by the Armor Spell cast by Lockhart.
"Hahaha," Lockhart's laughter became more and more crazy, "You are worthy of it, Sherin, you can force us to this point, even revealing the last trump card..."
After he threw the wand to the female man in black, an astonishing black gas emerged from his body, and the outline of a goat-headed man with snail horns could be seen faintly in the black gas...
The female wizard hid behind Lockhart, summoned the two unconscious companions with the Summoning Spell, and then Apparated and disappeared.
The moment the female wizard disappeared, with a bang, Lockhart exploded!
As soon as he saw the black gas, Schelling thought of Peter Pettigrew's sacrificial magic. He no longer cared about the escaping enemy and quickly drew an ancient rune in the air with his finger - Eihwaz!
In the face of life and death, Schelling poured all his magic power into the magic rune. Ravenclaw's crown and Slytherin's pendant box rose into the air at the same time, emitting colorful light and each emitting a ray of light, which connected with Schelling's wand like a laser beam. The wand made a brisk sound, and the ancient rune suddenly materialized and turned into a phantom of a palace, covering Schelling and his unconscious companions.
The explosion was so powerful that the nearby woods were razed to the ground.
But inside the phantom of the palace, several people were unharmed.
Schelling finally successfully performed a complete ancient rune magic, but at this moment he did not feel any joy in his heart.
Schelling used the resurrection spell to wake up Gareth, Daphne and Astoria one after another. Seeing the tragic traces around them, they all felt scared, and at the same time they felt awe of Schelling's methods.
Being able to protect three unconscious people at the same time in such a powerful magic, and they were unharmed, this kind of protection method has exceeded their imagination. After all, they all know that Schelling did not make any arrangements in this place in advance, which means that it is impossible to use the protective spells such as "all protection" and "all evil invulnerable".
Gareth quickly understood what happened and understood the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but frowned.
Not far away, they found two men in black who were swept into the air. Their bodies were blown away by the impact of the explosion. Gareth used an unknown spell on their heads to simply repair their bloody faces-one of the two people was a member of the side branch of the Abbot family, and the other was a butler of the direct line of the Slahorn family. Although they were not important celebrities, they also occupied a certain position in their families.
At this time, the people from the Ministry of Magic Apparated over.
Gareth said that he would take care of the matter, and asked Sherin and the others to go back to the camp first.
Along the way, Sherin's face was so gloomy that ink could drip out. The hand holding the wand was so swollen that the veins were all over the back of his hand because of excessive force. He suddenly thought of an important thing, so he quickened his pace and rushed back to the camp.
The first camp was devastated, and traces of magic damage could be seen everywhere. The house elves of each family were working hard to repair the tents. When the riot broke out, most of the house elves were ordered to hide in the camp to prevent lawless people from taking the opportunity to enter the tents to steal and rob.
And those thugs in the name of Death Eaters would not attack the camps with house elves. After all, having a house elf can almost represent the symbol of an ancient pure-blood family. Of course, people still have to evacuate. After all, who knows if there will be a chance?
"Dino!" As soon as he entered the tent, Sherin couldn't wait to call the name of the house elf loudly.
With a crackling sound, Dino respectfully appeared in front of the three people, "Dino is here, what can the master do for Dino?"
"I know that there is a soul contract between the house elf and the master. Can you sense Mei's location now?" Xie Lin said quickly.
Dino closed his eyes and put his hands together, as if he was performing some mysterious magic. After a while, it shook its head and showed a very confused expression, "I can sense the existence of the master, but I can't sense her location. It seems... it seems that the soul contract has been affected by some force... By the way, why didn't the master come back with you?"
"Something happened to Mei. She was captured by a mysterious organization. Dino, I need your help now." Xie Lin said anxiously, "Listen, Dino, I know you only obey your master's orders, but Mei may be in danger. The longer we wait, the more danger there is. I need you to take me to the Shafik old house, okay? Please!"
In theory, Dino cannot take outsiders to the Shafik old house without Meredith's permission, but at this moment Meredith's whereabouts are unknown, and Dino also knows a little about the close relationship between the hostess and Xie Lin. It only hesitated for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.
"You two stay here for a while and wait for Uncle Gareth to come back. I'll be back soon!" Sherin instructed the two girls, Daphne and Astoria, and took Dino's hand. The man and the elf disappeared with a crackling sound.
In Hambleden, a small village forty miles west of London, outside a forest, a person and an elf suddenly appeared from the void.
"Is this here, Dino?" Schelling asked.
"Yes, Master Malfoy," Dino's tone was full of doubts. He wandered near several large pine trees. "The ancestral home is here -" It even circled a few pine trees with some decorations hanging on it. Circle, "Strange, why can't I see it?"
"The Loyalty Charm." Xie Lin said calmly.
"What?"
"This is a kind of magic that can completely hide a certain location. It belongs to the top level in shielding magic. No matter it is a tracking spell, a manifestation spell, a villain spell, or even a trace thread or a forbidden word spell, it cannot be broken through. "It's shielding." Xie Lin explained, "You clearly know where you are, but even if you have your face pressed against the real door of the ancestral home, you still can't see anything in your eyes."
"Then, what should we do?" Dino looked a little panicked. For him, the safety of his master was his most important mission.
Sherlyn is starting to calm down now. Meredith must be rescued, but being panicked won't help.
"Let's go." Xie Lin's voice was so cold that it made people feel chilling. "Believe me! No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely save your master."
