Chapter 327: Undead Union

Newt recounted his adventures in Cairo, Egypt.

As one of the oldest civilizations, Egypt has a longer history of magic than Europe, and the most famous one is the secret art of mummification for the pursuit of resurrection from the dead.

As mentioned earlier, the authentic secret art of mummification has long been lost, and now the Egyptian magic school is more inclined to pursue alchemy to prolong life.

However, just like Knockturn Alley in Great Britain, all wizarding countries are bound to have dark corners hidden in the shadows. The Cairo black market is such a place.

According to Newt's experience more than 70 years ago, the Cairo black market is composed of several local gangs, but the most powerful among them is Anubi's subordinates. He has at least 7 senior deacons at the level of elite Aurors, and no less than 50 ordinary deacons at the level of ordinary Aurors.

The black magic practiced by Anubi himself is different from ordinary black magic. He is born with the coercion that makes magical creatures fearful, and has a very strong hunter instinct.

Through his influence in the Cairo black market, his biggest business is to capture and hunt protected magical animal species around the world, and make huge profits by smuggling and selling organs and materials from magical animals.

The Egyptian Ministry of Magic has also joined forces with the magic ministries of other African countries to carry out encirclement and suppression operations against him, but unfortunately, the operations have all failed without exception, and most of the time, even Anubi's face has not been seen.

This is of course due to the strong influence of the Cairo black market, but the bigger reason is that many wizard regimes in Africa have long been corrupt and have unclear interests with the Cairo black market. This collusion relationship gives Anubi an advantage in intelligence.

Newt then explained in detail his experience and understanding of Egypt's necromancy black magic, and of course there are also various speculations and rumors about Anubi's own strength.

As far as he knew, Anubi had the magic to turn the corpses of magical animals into combat-capable beast mummies. These beast mummies even had magical abilities before their death. Imagine the invisible monster mummies, the phoenix mummies with unlimited resurrection abilities, etc. These mummies lost their minds and would only obey Anubi's command completely. What a terrible combat power that would be.

Then, Liu Tao and Ryan also talked about the corpse-driving technique of the Yan family, the characteristics of various zombies and corpses, and the personnel configuration and combat effectiveness of the Cobra organization.

Then, Fusco, the most knowledgeable among the principal portraits, began to popularize Jafar's various deeds to everyone, and the other principals did not lag behind and share their own views.

Whether it was Jafar, Anubi, Yanfeng, etc., they almost all came from areas outside Europe and the United States - including Africa, China, and West Asia. The wizards in these regions have a spellcasting system that is very different from that of European and American wizards. The insights provided by each principal are invaluable.

After talking for nearly an hour, everyone had a certain degree of understanding of the enemy they were about to face.

Finally, Dumbledore spoke: "Now we know the identity and general strength of the enemy, but we still need to know their true motives to have a chance of winning."

Liu Tao frowned and said: "Albus, you have been in charge of Great Britain for so many years, how can you know nothing about their motives?"

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and said: "Now we know that the so-called Death Eaters, and even the Witch Alliance decades ago, are actually just pawns of the Knights of Walpurgis, so Voldemort's so-called 'pure blood supremacy' and Grindelwald's 'wizards rule Muggles' are probably just a cover..."

"According to my inference, the ultimate goal of the Knights of Walpurgis should not be to rule the world - they have a more unknown, even more terrifying ultimate pursuit, we must understand all their actions - only by finding out their true purpose can we make strategic responses."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Everyone understands what Dumbledore said - but facing such a cruel reality - they still can't help but feel a little depressed.

Liu Tao was the first to cheer up, "Haha, let's not be so discouraged - Walpurgis hasn't made a move for so many years, who knows how much strength they still have, there can't be so many immortals in this world, and -"

Liu Tao smiled slightly and said, "I almost forgot to congratulate you, Dumbledore - your students, with their 4th grade academic knowledge, actually defeated the 7th grade students from the French and German giants, they are really young people!"

Dumbledore showed an ambiguous look - yes, Schelling is indeed "young people are formidable".

Liu Tao didn't notice Dumbledore's look, but continued to smile: "You may not know that in the global education and academic circles, it has begun to spread that Malfoy is the strongest student in the world. In my opinion, in the next "European Magic Education Assessment" selection, Hogwarts is definitely the undisputed first."

————————————

At the same time, let's turn the picture to Transylvania.

In a dark underground palace, surrounded by damp and cold air, the whole palace is like a temple of a certain religion - on the tall and ancient walls are paintings after paintings, in which various wolf-headed, elephant-headed, eagle-headed humanoid creatures are performing some mysterious and slightly gloomy magic rituals.

This is the holy land of wizards who practice necromancy all over the world - the underground necromancer union.

On a high platform covered with mysterious spells, a figure wearing a black cloak, covering his entire body including his face, stood quietly.

Below the stage, there were four old wizards over fifty years old, with frosted faces, standing solemnly and respectfully.

If Geoffrey Potter stood here at this moment, he would recognize that the person on the stage was the chairman of the necromancer union - no one knew his name, and the file created for him by the Transylvanian Ministry of Magic called him "the Destroyer" Abaddon.

Abaddon's lips, hidden deep in the shadows, moved slightly and asked, "Olivia, what's the situation in Great Britain?"

One of the wizards with a black face and three-color curse painted on his face stepped forward and said, "According to the information sent by the spies inside the Ministry of Magic, Fudge should have fallen out with Dumbledore. Fudge has been eager to accept his followers and exclude dissidents in the Ministry of Magic, and began to pressure the Daily Prophet to attack Dumbledore in public opinion, attempting to discredit his image and reduce his influence in the entire wizarding world."

"Which department does your son work in the British Ministry of Magic?"

"Replying to the master, my son Gross is working in the International Magical Cooperation Department and is being wooed by Fudge at the moment. ——Because the head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Barty Crouch, disappeared without a reason, there is now a power vacuum inside. In order to gain the support of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Fudge promised Guros quite attractive benefits. "

"Humph, Fudge is ambitious and short-sighted, but he is indeed an excellent candidate to check and balance Dumbledore - let your son join Fudge's camp! Add fuel to Fudge's actions - if I remember correctly, the Department of International Magical Cooperation has the power to nominate the British representative in the International Confederation of Wizards, right?"

"Yes, the last British representative was Dumbledore nominated by Crouch, and it has been more than ten years..."

"Very good! Let Gross instigate around Fudge - it would be best if Dumbledore could be removed from the position of President of the International Confederation of Wizards, or even better if he could be removed from the International Confederation of Wizards. The Undead Wizards Guild will reward him handsomely after the success!"

"Yes, sir! Oliver will convey the order to Gross later. Thank you for the reward first!"

Abaddon then said, "How is the situation at Hogwarts?"

Another old man with long hair stepped forward and said, "Dumbledore built the entire Hogwarts Castle like an iron barrel, and it is difficult for our people to approach. But there is information - the first generation of the Order of the Phoenix that worked with Dumbledore to defeat Grindelwald Almost all the staff have left the mansion, including the Scamander brothers from the UK, Kama from France, and Eulalie Hicks from North America..."

"In addition, Liu Tao, an Eastern wizard who had a long-standing friendship with Dumbledore, also disappeared inexplicably under our surveillance," said the long-haired wizard named Naro in a deep voice: "We suspect that he has come to Great Britain at the invitation of Dumbledore - it seems that Dumbledore's strength is still superior to the Ministry of Magic."

Abaddon murmured: "Liu Tao..."

He nodded under the cloak, indicating that he understood. After all, it was he who made the decision to collect the message peak after the zombie chaos in China 5 years ago. The Undead Wizards Guild knew that it had offended several major pure-blood families in the East, so it never relaxed its surveillance on China, and the whereabouts of Liu Tao and Zhang He were the top priority of intelligence.

"This guy is indeed a bit tricky. You should keep a close eye on the Liu and Zhang families in the east. If it's just Liu Tao, it's easy to deal with him, but if the entire Chinese Pureblood Family Alliance is involved, things will become very troublesome... Humph! Have you found any results from the investigation of the Triwizard Tournament?"

A short but sturdy wizard said, "Reporting to the master, the investigation has already made some progress - the champion of the Triwizard Tournament is the direct descendant of the Malfoy family - Shaylin Malfoy. During the competition, the Goblet of Fire was tampered with, and he was teleported to the Little Hangleton Church Cemetery, where he fought a fierce battle at the level of a mage."

Abaddon paused slightly and whispered, "Mage level?"

"Yes." The short and sturdy wizard named Amyro said, "Although it sounds unbelievable, through our backtracking method, Malfoy does have the strength of a mage, or has a mysterious method that can enhance his strength to that of a mage in a short period of time."
