Chapter 391 This Thing Is Much Better than a Magic Wand
During this period, due to the disappearance of many squibs, Sean speculated that this was definitely not a coincidence. Hearns was also a squib. Sean was worried about the safety of his uncle, so he asked Hoff to get two self-defense props.
A passive-triggered defense pendant, the pendant is embedded with a magic bead. It takes about the total magic power of five elite Aurors to fill the magic bead.
When attacked by magic, the pendant will automatically generate a primary defensive magic, the Iron Armor Curse. Although only one primary magic is engraved in the pendant, even so, the magic beads can only maintain the pendant for about a month.
When Hof received the magic bead brought back by Sean, he asked in surprise, "So fast? You found five Aurors to help you lose the magic power overnight?"
"We still have some connections." Sean said, but he was thinking in his heart, with this little magic power, do you still need to ask for help? Wouldn't that be a waste of magic power to restore the magic circle?
"With my ability, I can only make an iron armor spell. That Origin Sect seems to be very powerful. Are you sure it will work?" Hof said.
Sean said, "I'm not sure, but it's better than nothing."
In the case of Squibs, it seems that they are all missing so far. If the Origin Cult kidnapped them, they probably would not have killed them, at least not during the kidnapping.
Squibs don't know magic, so they can be stunned and taken away with simple magic, so Sean boldly speculated that the iron armor spell might be able to block the first attack.
"Where's the other one?" Sean asked.
Hoff took out a Browning pistol from the table behind him. This gun was stolen by Sean from a gun shop in downtown London after the meeting at Black's old house.
Several short gold moon needles brought by Dumbledore were also given to Hof by Sean.
"According to what you said, after the short needle was melted, the molten metal was plated on the bullet head. There was too little moon gold, and there was only enough to plate one bullet." Hoff said.
"It's really good. I thought it would fail." Sean was a little surprised.
After all, moon gold is a metal in the magic world, and if it is plated on ordinary metal, there is no telling what reaction it will have.
After handing Hearns the pendant and pistol, and patiently instructing Hearns on how to shoot, Sean went to Italy.
Within two weeks, the pistol was doing something unexpected.
The four of them returned to England with Snape. At the Leaky Cauldron, Hearns hugged Sean with both excitement and fear. Sean was relieved to see that Hearns was fine.
"Sean, this thing is much better than a magic wand!" Hearns excitedly took out a Browning pistol from his pocket.
A squib without magic seriously injured an elite wizard with a pistol, which is worthy of Hearns' lifelong bragging.
As expected, the Origin Cult was eyeing the Squib Hearns. The cult member sneaked into the Leaky Cauldron and sneaked into the back kitchen. The cult members cast low-level fainting spells on the Squib, who had almost no magic resistance. This was done several times before.
However, the moment the Stunning Curse was about to hit Hearns, the iron armor spell on the pendant was activated to block the blow. Hearns, who had been reminded by Sean, reacted immediately, but the other party was caught by this unexpected situation. I got distracted.
Hearns' Browning pistol hit the congregant in the left abdomen at a distance of five meters. Seeing that the situation was not right, the congregant immediately wanted to apparate away, but the magic power in his body was actually hindered.
The bullets coated with moon gold disrupted the movement of magic in the believer's body, preventing him from constructing a magic framework.
The sound of gunshots alerted the guests outside, and the congregant was captured alive by several non-combat wizards.
However, the people from the Order of the Phoenix arrived a step too late, and the congregant was taken away by the Ministry of Magic patrol. Dumbledore personally rushed to negotiate with Fudge, and only then got an opportunity for a joint interrogation.
"The Origin Cult is more terrifying than we thought." Snape said.
"The captured cultist is an outer cultivator, and is called a human witch in the Origin Cult."
"Human witch? What do you mean?" It was the first time Sean heard this title.
"Man-made wizards." Snape explained with a serious look, "The outer church members are all Muggles."
"How is it possible? Do Muggles know magic?" Sirius asked.
"He was once a Muggle, but after being transformed by the Origin Cult, he became a powerful wizard." Snape said.
"These outer-layer believers were stolen from the Muggle world by the Origin Cult when they were babies. After more than ten years of soaking in potions and injecting them with medicines, they acquired wizard physiques."
Everyone had incredible expressions on their faces after hearing this. Can even wizards create artificial ones?
"I have never heard of such a thing in my whole life." Sirius' face was full of disbelief.
Snape glanced at him and said, "Don't say you haven't heard it. Dumbledore lived to be more than a hundred years old, and he didn't even hear it."
"These human witches are all outer-layer believers. The thing on their necks is not a flame pattern, but a dragon head. Only the inner-layer believers have the flame pattern."
Voldemort was stopped by several members of the Origin Church, all of whom had dragon heads embroidered on their sleeves. Voldemort later learned that these were outer members, artificial wizards.
"If wizards can create people, then the wizarding world is in chaos. What is their purpose? Isn't it to let wizards rule the world?" Sean said.
Snape answered Sean's question with silence, and Sean smiled bitterly in his heart. It was indeed an old trick of villains.
"How did they transform Muggles, and what potions did they use?" Lupine asked.
"Their outer church members are only responsible for carrying out tasks. They have no knowledge of this secret formula. Judging from the raw materials they purchased, there is no clue."
The most authoritative person present in terms of potions was Snape. His level of potions could be said to be expert level in the UK. He didn't even know what he was doing, let alone the others.
"Do you know their stronghold?" Sirius asked.
Snape shook his head, "The opponent's Occlumency technique is quite good. It will take some time to obtain more information."
At first, the Ministry of Magic used Veritaserum, but it had no effect. Later, it switched to Legilimency. Several interrogation experts from the Ministry of Magic took turns taking turns, as well as Snape, the Legilimency master assigned by Dumbledore.
"You still need to go to Italy," Snape said. "From the information we have received, the Origin Cult producers need a lot of materials for witchcraft potions. In order not to attract attention, they will purchase them in different regions every once in a while. It should still be active in Italy.”
Mundungus murmured, "No wonder we haven't heard anything in Knockturn Alley or France."
"Do you know what the material is?" Sean asked.
"This outer church is not responsible for purchasing and knows nothing about the materials," Snape said. "But you go and keep an eye on those rare materials and find out who the buyers are."
In an extremely dense forest somewhere, Shafiq and Bernard walked one after another towards the cave under the mountain.
"Let me ask, is your family's legend reliable?" Bernard asked.
"That's what is written in the manuscript. Whether it is reliable or not, you will know after trying it." Shafiq said meaningfully.
