Chapter 1184 Sacrificial Iron Armor Curse

In fact, the underground black market, which seemed empty and no longer noisy, was actually not as peaceful as Hermione and the others had seen on the surface.

A black market is always a black market, and in this turbulent period, a certain section of wizards in the wizarding world will obviously need its existence even more.

For example, when Maca released the Azkaban prisoners for acting, those guys who sneaked away while taking advantage of the chaos.

Yes, after Maca left with Bellatrix and other Death Eaters, there were always some criminals who were shrewd enough to take advantage of the chaos of the dementors and escape across the sea.

And people like these would never be able to settle in the newly built settlements under the planning of the Ministry of Magic. Even if the black market was severely harassed by Haierbo, they could only continue to hide there and live a life of resignation.

Of course, in addition to the prisoners of Azkaban, there are more "gray wizards" in the black market who rely on illegal activities to survive all the year round. Because they have always been cautious, there is actually no criminal record that makes them terrified.

But once they have lived a life with a lot of money, it is obviously impossible for them to return to a stable but tight life.

Therefore, despite the fact that Maca asked the Ministry of Magic to count and gather a large number of black market population to the outside world, it was even large enough to build two towns purely composed of wizards. But in the black market, there are still many people who stayed behind, hiding in the dark and waiting for this huge turmoil to gradually subside.

However, these wizards who had various reasons for not leaving hardly ever thought that Hai Erbo was not enough once, and this time he came again for the second time!

When the fog gradually spread in this underground black market and completely enveloped the place, many people cursed secretly and had the idea of ​​fleeing abroad.

It's a pity that most people didn't have time to take action, but the Werther family suddenly stood up. The old head of this ancient wizard family personally came forward, and under the name of Hai Erbo, brought the rest of the idle wizards in the black market under his hands.

According to the old Patriarch Gru Witt, it was Haierbo who contacted him again on his own initiative, and asked him to assist him in completing the unfinished task from the last time—taking down the entire underground black market.

It must be said that the name of the Werther family is indeed not to be underestimated, not to mention the even worse name of Haierbo attached to it. Old Gru didn't expend too much energy, and in just one night, he took most of the remaining power groups in the black market under his command.

obviously,

The reason why the goblins in the Dark Spirit Pavilion hide in the vault is actually because they don't want to obey the Werthers' orders.

However, no one knows what the Werther family—especially the old owner, Gru Werther—is thinking in his heart for the time being.

"Come out in another car or two, and let Norman go over there!"

In the main hall of the Werther family mansion, the old head of the house, Gru, sat at the end of the long table, and suddenly gave an order that made everyone in the family a little puzzled.

"Don't ask anything," Old Gru said with a deadpan expression, "Just do as I tell you."

...

When the underground black market gradually began to become undercurrent and turbulent again, Hermione and the others who were fleeing could only be regarded as one of the small accidents.

But no matter what, because Luna threw something back just now, which seemed to delay the other party for a while, they finally separated some distance from the few people chasing behind.

"But it can be heard that the other party did not stop chasing because of the accident, even though the target they were chasing had already left their field of vision, they still did not give up."

"They are chasing separately!" Hermione listened carefully, and then whispered, "Get ready! The other party must be much more familiar with the terrain here than we are, and maybe they want to outflank us... However, this may be our A good opportunity to fight back!"

Hermione didn't want to fight at all if she couldn't get into the fight. But if there is really no other way, she obviously won't sit still.

The other three people, including Luna, subconsciously grasped the rune tablet that they had just taken out and held in their left hand after hearing what she said.

Although only four people would definitely not be able to exert the power of dozens of people at the beginning, but in this case, it must be enough.

"Be careful on both sides, there are footsteps—"

When passing another intersection, Hermione led the three of them and rushed over as fast as possible. And as expected, at the moment after they passed by in a hurry, the two curses on the left and right suddenly collided with each other, bursting out with a burst of dazzling brilliance.

"It should be a full body binding spell," Hermione said with a glance back. "They want to capture us alive."

And at this moment, Ron, who was running a few steps ahead, suddenly asked quickly:

"Hermione, there is an alley ahead, which way?"

"Go straight!"

Right now, the other party is acting separately, and once they turn a corner, it is very likely that they will bump into one of them. If it is not necessary, she thinks it is better to avoid it.

Not long after, the four of Hermione rushed from the alley to the street outside.

"Be careful there are people on both sides!"

In the alleys on the left and right, two figures also ran out, and this just showed that Hermione's guess was correct.

"Luna, you and Ginny keep an eye on the right; Ron, we keep an eye on the left—"

Even if the time to cross this street must be short, after all, no matter how wide the road is, it is not very wide. But the opponent had shot in the narrow alley before, and now he obviously wouldn't miss a better opportunity.

Sure enough, as soon as Hermione finished speaking, two curses shot out immediately.

"Armor protection... Hermione, disarm spell!"

Ron was talking, and saw that after he put an iron armor curse on himself, he actually took the initiative to meet the opponent's curse. Hermione was taken aback when she heard the words, but soon understood Ron's thoughts.

He wanted to take advantage of the two to give Hermione a chance to fight back.

To be honest, Hermione herself did not agree with this dangerous tactic. After all, it was difficult to estimate the strength of the opponent's spell. God knows if Ron's Iron Armor Curse could be blocked?

But maybe it was the other party's plan to capture him alive, so Hermione complied with Ron in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, when Ron took a step slower and narrowly blocked Hermione's spell by her side. Hermione's silent disarming spell also passed through the bursting light particles, and the red glow shot towards the other party.

Ron's Iron Armor Curse worked. Although he staggered a few steps due to the impact, he was not hurt. But unfortunately, Hermione's disarming spell was dodged by the opponent rolling forward.

All of this almost happened in a flash. Before the two of them could sigh, they got into the next alley ahead together with Ginny and Luna at the side.

"At least slow down that guy a few steps!"

Ron said this, but in exchange for Hermione's "daily stare" today.

"If your Iron Armor Curse can't stop it, it's not that they are a few steps slower, but that you drag us down and have to stay and fight!" Hermione said angrily, "And you can only lie on the ground and stare blankly!"

"Oh! I'm blocking it!" Ron grinned and whispered, "Besides, I've seen those two binding spells colliding before, and I'm confident that I can block it."

"Don't talk back!" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Hurry up! Go straight ahead—"

...

Just as Hermione and the others were driven to run around in the black market, Maca stopped for a while in front of the ruins of the gallery outside the entrance passage of the Chamber of Dark Souls.

Although Luna didn't notice any abnormalities in the ruins, he found sporadic fluctuations of magic power remaining in the ruins.

He could tell that it seemed to be the magic of goblins that had blown up the gallery into what it looked like.

"camouflage?"

After a little observation, he came to the same conclusion as Hermione.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to draw more conclusions just by looking outside. After a random guess, he raised his legs and walked inside the house that looked crumbling.

It didn't take long for Maca to come to the place that confused Ron before. Looking at the completely blocked corridor in front of him, he closed his eyes slightly to feel it, and soon realized that a certain painting above his head was subtly different.

But after he further sensed and analyzed for a while, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"The goblins, when did the prices start to be so reasonable? Each person only charges three Sickles?"
