In This Hogwarts Without a Savior - Chapter 480

  Chapter 480 478. Big fish

  Jon, who was still in the Department of Mysteries, didn’t know what happened at Carlo Manor.

He was still in the hall of time to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of all the magic items here one by one, and those purebloods who stayed here were all gathered together by Slughorn for a banquet , so no one will interfere with Jon at this time.

   When the time entered the middle of the night, Jon had already checked all the hourglasses in the Time Hall, and even absorbed some of the more suspicious magic power, wanting to see if he could open the door.

  But without exception all failed.

  Jon could only focus on the bird ornament in the end, which is the most conspicuous thing in the entire time hall, because it is more obvious than those hourglasses that are constantly passing by.

  Jon didn’t look into it at first, because it was too conspicuous, so conspicuous that if someone just came to the Hall of Time, it must be the first thing they notice.

  According to common sense, if you really want to use a certain item in this room to make a key to open the door, you will generally not choose such a conspicuous item.

  But Jon really couldn’t think of other suspicious things in the room, and Voldemort might not have used the most dangerous place as the safest place.

  So Jon focused on this bird-shaped ornament and started his own research.

To be honest, this is actually a different kind of hourglass, but its expression of the passage of time is not reflected in the movement of certain things like an hourglass, but through the bird hatching from an egg to a bird, and from a bird to a bird. Returning to the performance of the egg to show the advancement and regression of time.

   At first glance, you may still feel the magic in it, but after careful observation by Jon, you will find that this bird ornament does not actually have a deep magical mystery.

The bird hatched from the egg is just an ordinary bird specimen, and although the liquid that contains it is a special potion, the effect is only a potion that helps the object deform, and there is no more deep place.

  The only thing to note is that the egg that hatches the bird is a real and living egg.

  The potion in the ornament is constantly helping it to change, and the form of this change is the process of a bird breaking its shell from it, and then the effect of the change ends, so the bird has evolved a performance of degenerating back to an egg.

  From the beginning to the end, the egg was not affected. It was still a living egg, but the transforming potions that enveloped it, while making it magically change, also inhibited its real hatching.

Jon stared at the ornament in front of him for a long time. He didn’t easily absorb the magic power contained in it. On the one hand, it was because the strength of the magic power absorbed in the gemstone of his ring had reached a limit. It’s because I feel that I can’t just destroy this thing violently, because there will be a very bad consequence.

Just when Jon was experimenting with this ornament, he suddenly discovered that this kind of thing is not completely embedded in the table, there is a snap button under the table, which can completely remove it from the table smoothly. down.

   “Crack!”

  The crisp voice echoed in the quiet hall of time, Jon easily took the ornament off the table, and at the same time, he could see that there was a living hole under the base that could be opened!

This is a very important discovery. Generally, after this kind of thing is made, there should be no need to open it again, just like the other hourglasses in the Time Hall, none of them are designed to release the sand in it. It can be taken out normally.

  But this bird-shaped ornament is an exception.

  Jon didn’t hesitate much, he turned the ornament upside down and opened it from the bottom.

That is, the moment he opened it, the transformation from the egg to the bird in the potion stopped abruptly, and then those transforming potions evaporated quickly like water droplets sprinkled on a hot pan, almost in the blink of an eye. It just disappeared! Only the solitary egg remained inside.

Jon tilted the cylindrical transparent tube and took out the egg. It was only the size of a normal bird’s egg. It didn’t look special from the outside, but it could clearly make people feel that there was an egg inside. Weak life is still alive.

  Weighing the egg and observing for a while, Jon tried to bring it to the door that was not easy to find.

   At the beginning, there was no special phenomenon, but soon Jon found that whenever he brought the egg close to the door, there would be a sign of a depression in a place in the lower part of the middle of the door!

Immediately such a discovery cheered him up. He held the egg and carefully moved it close to the recessed position. When he completely stuck the egg on the door, a A round hole that fits the egg perfectly.

Jon stuck the egg into the hole precisely, and in the next second, the door that had been closed tightly seemed to be endowed with a different kind of magic power by the egg, and then gently opened inward. An entrance that can be used for people to enter and exit!

   “Get up! Get up!”

  Amidst the roaring sound around, Lucius pulled up an Auror who had already lost a hand and a leg in the blast.

He knew this Auror. He was in the Auror Command, and when Lucius was the director of the Auror office, he commended a half-breed backbone. His future is waiting for him, but now he is on the verge of death, with more breath and less breath.

  Lucius doesn’t care whether he dies or not. He needs to know the information of these people outside, and wants to know how many people Wu Pingxian sent, and who is the leader!

   “Tell me! How many people did you see? How many of them have eaten their team!”

  Auror teams are usually composed of three people, and now the Auror with a broken arm and leg is lying next to the corpses of his other two teammates!

   “Six has six people”

  Blood froth spewed out from the corner of his mouth, and he gave back to Lucius in a weak and dying voice.

   Such news made Lucius’ already ugly face even darker, and he angrily threw the Auror who was already on the verge of death back to the cold ground.

Six people surrounded three, which means that the people sent by Wu Pingxian this time are definitely more than the Aurors guarding here, and after the initial surprise attack, coupled with the speed and speed of the Weasley ball The killing method made many Aurors die under the death curse and explosion before even seeing the enemy’s face!

Originally, Lucius thought that the Auror might just be broken up, but in fact, he still retained a lot of vitality, allowing him to take over the command. Coupled with the pure blood that was driven out later, the situation might still be stalemate. Opportunity, and then wait for the detection network of the magic world to discover the situation here and wait for support.

  But now I can’t hold on anymore!

When Lucius ran down from the manor with his pure blood, the Aurors who retreated into the yard from around the wall had already suffered heavy casualties. People are not in a hurry to rush directly to the place where the pure-bloods gather to wipe them all out, but to eliminate the remaining Aurors little by little, and pull out the vitality of the Ministry of Magic.

   Obviously, for Moody and the others, this is the optimal solution.

Almost all the means of going out around the manor were blocked, leaving only the floo network that can only be passed by one person. It doesn’t matter if you let those pure blood escape a few more, those who only dare to escape and dare not fight The more waste escapes, the better it will be for the attack behind the Wuping Line, and those who dare to stay and resist must be eliminated, including the remaining Aurors in the manor.

Wu Pingxian didn’t mean to drive them out completely. The situation has reached such a point that anyone who is not a fool can see that if they continue to resist, there is basically only a dead end. If these mixed bloods are concerned about the current Ministry of Magic No matter how loyal it is, it doesn’t matter how loyal it is, because after all, Voldemort has only ruled Britain for less than 20 years. Educated newcomers completely replace all positions.

So after hearing the voice of Wu Pingxian’s people pushing forward and shouting “Throw away the wand and don’t kill”, many mixed-races threw the wands in their hands on the ground without much difficult ideological struggle. , Then he squatted down with his head in his arms.

  These Aurors who gave up resistance were all broken off their wands, and then temporarily placed in the rear, leaving two teams of guards, while Moody led the rest of the people and continued to advance into the depths of the manor.

   The pure bloods brought by Lucius are hidden less than 20 meters away from Moody!

   There is a ten-meter-wide dew hall between them. In the hall is the Magic Brothers Fountain that was previously placed in the Ministry of Magic. The Carlo family kept this precious antique privately and placed it in their own home.

And the people led by Lucius hid at a corner in front of the hall. His former Auror office director was not in vain. Based on his rich experience, he judged the progress of Moody and his party, which was only one step away from them. The group of people is not very far away. As for whether there are other people behind him who are outflanking, and if so, where are they, he doesn’t care much anymore.

   It’s not that he can’t guess Amycus’s little thought. If there are people behind, they will definitely meet those who left with the Carlos, and it’s none of his business.

   “We only have this one chance!”

   Lucius stared at all the pure-bloods present, and said fiercely.

“Whether we live or die depends on whether we dare to fight! They want to surround the entire manor. If they want to form such a siege network, the personnel must be scattered! According to normal habits, there will be two teams. , That is, six people form a group, each group is no more than 30 meters apart, and then continuously compress the space inward!”

“At this point, the distance between the two groups should be less than 20 meters. No matter how fast they are, they can only gather all the people within 50 meters in a short period of time. That is, there are 18 people in three groups. And our current number far exceeds them, as long as the operation goes smoothly, then we still have a good chance to rush out!”

  Lucius’ words inspired the pure blood around a lot. If it is true as he said, then there is indeed a big chance.

But in fact, there are still some possibilities that Lucius didn’t say directly. Generally, this kind of encirclement net is unlikely to have only one layer. The innermost layer is now a group of 20 meters. People lead the team, and there will definitely be two more layers of “big nets” along the 20-meter gap on the periphery, so once they really attract the attention of these Wupingxian wizards, it is definitely not the only one who will encircle and suppress them. There are only three sets of 18.

But now is the time when the purebloods need morale and confidence. Of course, Lucius will not tell the truth. He can only rely on the fact that everyone’s desire to survive here is firm enough, and there may be miracles occur.

Also in the distance, the voice of the Auror who kept shouting through the amplifying spell to make the Auror put down his wand and surrender was getting closer, and through the Magic Brothers fountain, Lucius could already vaguely see the group of two He gave the order to charge when he saw the figure of Wu Pingxian’s team!

“rush!!”

The pure blood around them were all on alert, and the moment they heard Lucius’ voice, the desire to survive occupied all of their brains, so they raised their wands without hesitation !

“Avada Kedavra!”

   “Swoon!”

  Those who could use the Death Curse naturally used the Death Curse without hesitation, but they hadn’t learned the Death Curse yet, and the purebloods who knew they couldn’t kill people even if they used it used the Stunning Curse.

   Almost instantly, green and red rays of light intertwined in the hall!

   While releasing the spell, led by Lucius, the pure bloods also rushed out of the corner where they were hiding, and began to attack the Wupingxian group under the cover of the Magic Brothers Fountain!

  The target they chose was very ingenious. This team of six happened to be the team led by Moody and Tonks!

The moment he heard the incantation of the death curse, Moody’s professional Auror experience was brought into play. He roared “Lie down”, and at the same time waved his wand and immediately used the transformation technique to shatter the one in front of him in the explosion. The handrail of the stairs turned into an iron shield lying on the ground!

  The Death Curse and Stunning Curse rained down on the shield, and Moody had roughly judged the number of Lucius and his party from the intensity of the spells.

   Now that the Aurors have been completely cleaned up, there is only one type of people who can organize such a group of resistance in the manor!

  Moody knows, they have encountered a big fish!
