Chapter 269 An Unprecedented Event

( ) Even in the evening, the heat that is exclusive to the summer day still exists, and the dull air is mixed with the sound of insects one after another, but it does not prevent people from being enthusiastic about the upcoming activities.

In a certain desolate wilderness, in the gloom of the night, a huge silhouette loomed, covering the last ray of light in the sky.

The building was shaped like the Quidditch World Cup Circus, but it was more compact and flat than that, like a giant fruit bowl sitting on a clearing.

That was the scene of the open-air audio-visual conference that Maca built with the financial resources of the Werther family.

Although the sky was not completely dark yet, the magic light ball for lighting had already floated in the venue. Under the radiance brought by the magic, the front of the entrance is full of people at a glance.

The hired staff were busy in the crowd, shouting almost hoarsely, just to inform the customers at the end to queue up patiently.

And around the venue where Lockhart's personal audio-visual meeting will be held soon, various booths and more crowds have almost filled up the open space here.

The heat of the crowd seemed to be about to evaporate and form a cloud that was as strong.

Beside the valley that was chosen as the venue, Maca stood on a certain mountain peak, quietly watching all the prosperity in the valley, feeling enlightened in his heart.

This was obviously just a selfish event organized by him. He even provided a not-so-detailed planning material at the beginning, and then entrusted the entire event to a manager.

But when the event really started, it touched people's hearts far beyond expectations.

Not only the audition event itself, but also many businessmen and families in the magic world sensed the business opportunities, gathered people to participate, and formed a truly national event.

Maka looked at the ants-like crowd below without blinking, and gently stroked the magic wand in his left sleeve with his right hand. The texture of the slightly rough wand body was slender and clear, as if connecting everything in front of him together.

Above this valley is a dark gray cloud made by magic. Seeing that the time was almost up, Maca finally took out his wand and pointed high at the center of the cloud.

At the same time, a faint blue light suddenly lit up under his feet, covering his whole body.

The sun had already set, so I couldn't see clearly just now.

But when the light shines at this time, people can actually see that under his feet is a complex and detailed rune array.

To be honest, this rune formation diagram seems mysterious to laymen, but Maca knows very well that it only looks so complicated because he can't simplify it further.

But at least, it was enough to make this event go smoothly.

"Five...four...three...two..."

As a strand of magic light as thin as a hair went straight into the sky, circles of colorful magic brilliance appeared in the dark gray clouds in midair.

Soon, someone in the valley had noticed it, and everyone raised their heads one after another and let out a low cry of surprise.

The monotonous and dim color of the magical cloud that almost merged with the sky is like an extremely huge curtain; and the light emitted by Maca's wand is a strange paintbrush, drawing a picture on that curtain. Round and round of dazzling colors.

Maca was always paying attention to the situation of the crowd in the valley. When most of the people had raised their necks and stared at the sky with wide eyes, he lowered his head instead.

His feet moved slightly, stepping on the other two runes respectively. Immediately afterwards, the moment he raised his head again, the rippling colorful circles in the air suddenly spread and turned into various slogans.

The fonts are constantly changing, the colors are constantly flowing, and finally turned into a familiar picture.

It was a photo that had been advertised in the "Daily Prophet" once, and it was a lonely figure standing alone.

"Guideroy Lockhart!"

I don't know who yelled first, and then many people were infected, and everyone cheered enthusiastically.

Although at the moment everyone is mostly just following the trend to join in the fun, Maka knows that the event itself is actually half successful.

Even though the actual audition session hasn't even officially started yet!

Maca waved his wand again, and the picture suddenly dissipated, turning into colorful stardust falling down, and turning into nothingness amidst the laughter of the guests.

At least tonight, everyone will be happy.

Suddenly, the space next to the rune pattern was slightly distorted, and a person in a black wizard robe suddenly appeared there.

"Notify all guests to enter."

Maca gave an order without any surprise, the man nodded lightly, and then Apparated away again.

At this moment, another two people suddenly apparated, but it was Tonks and another member of the Order of the Phoenix, Dedalodigo.

"An unidentified wizard appeared in the west (south) side." The two said almost at the same time.

"What about the quantity? Is there any action?" Maca asked.

"There are more than 20 people visually in the west, and there is no action yet."

"The number of people in the south is uncertain, and there is no movement."

"Then wait and see," Maca said, "If the opponent chooses to attack, be sure to hold them back within the predetermined range, don't be aggressive, and focus on fighting."

This operation was originally centered on Maca's plan. He is the main person in charge of this time, controlling the rhythm of the entire situation.

Tonks and Dedalus immediately nodded and left after receiving the order to inform other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Sure enough..." Maca rested his chin and said to himself, "Voldemort will not miss such a good opportunity. He also needs to create momentum and use fear and awe to influence ordinary wizards."

He paused, then shook his head hesitantly, "I just don't know if Voldemort himself will come."

The people in the valley didn't know anything about the Death Eaters in the mountains outside, and the crowd was surging, rushing towards the audio-visual venue.

The commotion of the audience was not only a sound, but also a faint vibration. Although it was slight, almost everyone could feel it.

The heat was rising bit by bit, and even Maca standing on the mountain could clearly feel the heat.

Members of the Order of the Phoenix in the mountains continuously conveyed the latest news, and Maca meticulously issued action instructions one after another, just like the conductor of a symphony orchestra, mobilizing the entire Order of the Phoenix in an orderly manner.

The radiance of the curse has already begun to flash in the mountains and forests, which indicates that there has been a battle between the Death Eaters and the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Maca lighted up the cloud and mist in the mid-air again at the right time, and the dazzling brilliance completely covered up the brilliance produced during the peripheral battles. All the audience did not notice any abnormalities, and the entrance of the audience was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"There are a lot of people in the south, about thirty wizards, and some dementors and..."

"The situation in the west is not good, and the other side has a dark wizard to supplement it! McLean..."

"Someone in the south was injured and lost his fighting power..."

"The enemy's offensive in the west is strong..."

"South..."

"West..."

Messages sent one after another circulated and intertwined in Maca's mind, turning into a detailed and accurate picture of the battle situation.

With the ever-increasing number of Death Eaters, although there are many elites on the Order of the Phoenix side, the suppression in terms of numbers makes this side a little breathless... The battle situation is constantly tilting towards the Order of the Phoenix side.

Fortunately, Maca's dogfighting order has been fully implemented, at least until now no one has been sacrificed, which is a blessing in misfortune.

But no matter how unfavorable the battle situation is, Maca is still unmoved. He is waiting, waiting for the most appropriate time!

Finally, the black-robed wizard who had appeared at the beginning reappeared. His appearance means that all the audience has entered the arena, and it's almost... almost there!

"Let Lockhart enter... Tonight's event has officially begun!"

The next moment, Lockhart's figure appeared in the center of the circular field. Today, he was wearing a straight wizard robe, with endless star dust floating on his robe, looking mysterious and full of magic.

Gilderoy Lockhart was already quite handsome, but at this moment, under the backdrop of the atmosphere of the scene, he was even taller and more charming.

In particular, his sense of vicissitudes expressed by relying on acting skills instantly captured the hearts of a large number of female wizards.

"Wizards and witches...Welcome to this personal audio-visual session...I, Gilderoy Lockhart, assure you...This is a special event like never before, and you will follow me Let's go together to enjoy an amazing and interesting adventure..."

Unlike Gilderoy Lockhart of the past...

Today's him, with a calm tone and hoarse voice, is like a hero who has experienced countless legendary adventures, with a unique temperament.

He spoke softly, and those tepid words were magnified by the spell, lingering in the ears of every audience, low and full of magnetism.

"...Presumably everyone is very concerned about what kind of event the so-called 'audio-visual feast' is. Don't worry everyone, let me Gilderoy Lockhart...a recipient of the third class of the Order of Merlin Honorary member of the Dark League and five-time Wizards of the Week award for Most Charming Smile..."

"...Leading everyone to that distant unknown country..."

Lockhart's soft and deep voice came to an end quietly, and all the magic light spheres in the valley were instantly extinguished.

Maca on the mountain looked at the dark valley and knew that the time had come. He waved his magic wand decisively, and the clouds and mist in midair scattered down silently, completely covering the whole valley and some of the surrounding mountains.

At this moment, there was a silver light flowing in front of him, as if wrapping around his feet.
