Chapter 873: Kyle's plan, excited Alastor
Chapter 873 Kyle’s plan, excited Alastor
In fact, it is not just wandering wizards like Lenis who have an extremely keen intuition of danger. As an Auror, Moody is also not bad in this regard.
This intuition led him to many dangerous situations, so that he could fill half of Azkaban by himself.
When he felt something strange coming from his legs, Moody's whole body had become stiff, and his hand unconsciously tightened his wand.
Out of instinct, the hidden magic eye began to move subconsciously, but Moody reacted faster. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately raised his hand and directly locked the uncontrolled magic eye. Come out and hold it tightly in your hands.
The force was so great that even the belt holding the magic eye was torn off.
"He is a cruel person!"
Kyle looked at this scene and couldn't help but smacked his lips.
I think Moody must have received some information from Dumbledore, so he made such a move.
But what should I say...very decisive, but completely unnecessary.
Kyle slowly raised his head.
There were not many people surrounding them, only a dozen or so including Lenis, which was far worse than the time in Godric's Hollow.
And in just a short while, more than half of the people were already lying on the ground, motionless, as if they were asleep.
A large snake that was almost fifty feet long was entangled in front of Kyle. Its orange pupils seemed to have some kind of magic power. Any wizard who looked at it would lose its life in an instant.
This is also related to the fact that those people are smart and scattered in different locations, surrounding Moody in the middle.
This also caused their positions to be extremely scattered. After coming into contact with the Basilisk's gaze, there was no one around who could share the curse.
"Monster! Monster!"
"Dead, all dead..."
"Run!"
Not knowing who was responsible, the remaining people began to run away frantically.
"Excuse me..." Kyle said lightly, "Except for the leader, no one else will be left."
The basilisk was still entrenched in front of Kyle, motionless, but the tree crown behind him shook slightly, and two black shadows flashed past.
"Okay, Professor Moody, we are safe." Kyle said after an unknown amount of time.
Moody opened his eyes and immediately saw wizards lying on the ground around him.
"Kyle, you..."
"What good luck." Kyle said with a smile. "I don't know why, but they suddenly killed each other and attacked their own people crazily with death curses. As a result, they died together."
Moody opened his mouth.
He didn't believe Kyle's words at all.
Kill each other? How is that possible!
And... Moody looked down and saw a deep mark on the ground, obviously left by some kind of huge creature after it passed by.
Coupled with the feeling on his legs just now, the strange hissing noises around him, and the rumors about the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, he was basically sure what the huge creature was, but he just couldn't believe it.
How could Dumbledore hand over something so dangerous to a recent graduate.
"Yes, we are very lucky." Moody said after a moment of silence.
No matter what, he was retired, neither an Auror nor a Hogwarts professor, and even Dumbledore didn't care, so why should he worry.
What's more, Kyle just saved him.
"Yes." Kyle smiled, "By the way, Professor, do you know who these people are? They don't feel like Death Eaters."
"Wandering wizards." Moody explained: "There are smugglers, dark wizards, or lunatics who torture Muggles for fun. Most of them were wanted by the Ministry of Magic in their respective countries. I arrested many when I was an Auror. ”
"Then the Ministry of Magic doesn't care?"
"It's not that we don't care, it's that it's very difficult." Moody shook his head, "Just look at the location here. If there's the slightest sign of trouble, most people will run away immediately.
"And this place is as self-contained as Knockturn Alley. It is impossible for the dark wizards to be wiped out. It is better to have them in a fixed place than to be scattered."
"That's true." Kyle nodded, "How many people are there."
"More than a hundred."
"so much?"
"That's quite a few." Moody repaired the belt and put his magic eye back into his eye socket. "Because Dumbledore had cleaned it up several times in the past, many people didn't dare to come again. Other countries would only More.
"What you are seeing now should have appeared more than ten years ago when the mysterious man gained power. At that time, Dumbledore and Auror had no time to think about anything else, so they seized the opportunity."
While the two were chatting, Moody's magic eyes moved rapidly.
"Be careful, something is coming again."
"It's okay, don't be nervous." Kyle said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a magical animal with six legs came over from the other side, holding a half-dead wizard in its mouth.
"Cat and leopard?" Moody was stunned for a moment, then looked at the wizard who was held by the cat and leopard.
Bapollenis?
There are three long scratches on the opponent's chest and back. If nothing else, it should be the work of Cat Leopard... Unless he is a wizard like Dumbledore or Voldemort, otherwise ordinary wizards will basically encounter 5X magical animals alone. They only deserve to be beaten, and that includes him.
Moody felt that he might not be afraid of Cat Leopard in one-on-one situations, but if he was running for his life, that would be a problem. Cat Leopard's hypnosis and Legilimency abilities were still quite tricky.
It just so happened that Lenis was running for his life in a state of extreme panic.
When he was pulled over by the cat and leopard, although he was not dead, he only had one breath left.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a big dinner later." Kyle said.
Cat Leopard nodded, jumped onto the tree in a flash, and disappeared again.
Moody's magic eye flickered.
"Stop looking, Professor." Kyle said, "They should go somewhere else now to prevent others from breaking in."
"Them?" Moody keenly discovered a certain keyword.
However, Kyle did not explain his question, but asked curiously: "Professor, why did they spend so much effort digging a secret tunnel to Devon County? Taking advantage of the situation?"
"I don't think so." Moody thought for a moment and shook his head.
“According to the information I received, the construction of this secret passage started ten years ago, when the mysterious man had already fallen.
"Including the Death Eaters, they only found Lenis recently. The person responsible for contacting him at that time was Bellatrix."
At this point, Moody paused.
He suddenly realized that Bellatrix was dead, and the person who killed him happened to be Kyle in front of him.
In fact, at first he didn't believe that Kyle was responsible for what happened in Godric's Hollow. He thought that Dumbledore was there and Kyle was just helping out.
but…
He looked down at the dents on the ground again, and suddenly he doubted his previous thoughts.
Kyle didn't know what Moody was thinking at this time. He touched his chin and said to himself in confusion: "If it's not to take advantage of the fire, then what's the use of building this secret passage?" from the Ministry of Magic. Aurors and strikers are not decorations. According to Moody, the reason why these guys can live in peace is just because they have been staying here and not going anywhere else.
Just like Knockturn Alley, as long as the dark wizards there don't run away, Aurors rarely deliberately seek trouble.
But if they don't want to stay honest and run out to do evil one day, then I'm sorry, the Dementors will understand.
Even if Aurors and strikers are not good, there is still Dumbledore. Although his energy in recent years has been focused on the school and Voldemort, when it comes to the stability of the British Ministry of Magic, he should not mind helping the Ministry of Magic. busy.
Kyle couldn't understand why these guys went so far just to serve the Dementors as lunch?
It doesn't make sense.
"If I guess correctly, their target should be Nicoléme." Moody said.
"Nicholas Flamel?"
"Of course, this is just my guess." Moody's magic eye turned back from the back of his head, "These people only recognize Galleons, and the magic stone that can turn anything into gold is an irresistible gift to them. temptation.
"More than ten years ago, I arrested some people and found a lot of information related to Nicoléme and the Philosopher's Stone from the items they carried. But at that time, Death Eaters were our main targets. , so we just threw them into Azkaban without investigating in depth.”
"That's it, then it's okay."
After learning that the opponent's target was actually Nicoléme, Kyle was no longer interested.
Just kidding, even if Voldemort wanted the Sorcerer's Stone, he would only fight with Dumbledore instead of going to Nicolas Flamel.
Although this had something to do with him not being able to find Nicoléme, but even if Voldemort could really find the location of the manor, would he really dare to go in?
Wizards are not knights. Although the body becomes weaker with age, the magic power will only become stronger and deeper. A wizard who has lived for more than six hundred years is also an alchemist. God knows what methods he has.
Not to mention anything else, the two fire dragon stone statues at the door can hang up more than a hundred wizards and whip them.
So when he learned that they were building a secret tunnel and had thoughts about Nicoléme, not only did Kyle have no idea of stopping him, he even thought about helping them and secretly leaking the location of the manor.
Nico has lived in the manor for hundreds of years. It seems that the last time he took action was sixty or seventy years ago. Listening to opera all day long is so monotonous. It seems good to change the entertainment method occasionally.
But after thinking about it, Kyle gave up this tempting idea.
Forget it, there are other things to do. If they can survive later, they can plan well.
It would be best if they could successfully enter the manor, and he could take advantage of the chaos to dismantle the opera house and pry it away... He had been coveting that thing for a long time.
However, he definitely couldn't do this kind of thing by himself. He had to ask Dumbledore to join him. In addition to increasing the success rate, he also had another person to take the blame.
No, no, now is not the time to think about this...
Kyle shook his head and looked at Moody.
"Professor, you just said that there are more than a hundred of these people, right?"
"Pretty much," Moody said. "What's wrong, you want to kill them all?"
"What are you talking about?" Kyle said righteously: "That's more than a hundred wizards. Professor, you are a bit too extreme."
The scar on Moody's face stirred slightly.
Is he extreme?
No matter how extreme he was, he only sent those dark wizards to Azkaban instead of killing them.
Moody glanced around at the men lying upright on the ground.
He believes that he is not a soft-hearted person, and he is not opposed to using the death curse at certain times, but there are really not necessarily more dark wizards who have died in his hands than Kyle.
"What do you want to say?" Moody asked angrily.
If he was still an Auror, he would take Kyle back no matter what, even if he was one of his own.
It's a pity that he is no longer an Auror. Now he is a retired old wizard who is suspicious by nature and disliked by others.
"Ah, that's right." Kyle blinked, "Professor, do you mind dying?"
"If it's valuable, I don't mind." Moody said seriously.
He remembered that Sirius Black had regained his innocence with the help of Kyle. Even Dumbledore had said that Kyle was so resourceful that sometimes even he felt ashamed of himself.
Being able to receive such praise from Dumbledore is enough to show that Kyle is indeed the real deal.
If he really had any ideas that would help defeat Voldemort, he wouldn't mind fully cooperating.
This is also the best place for an old Auror to end up.
"No need to be so serious, no need to die." Kyle waved his hand and looked at the unconscious Lenis, "Professor, if you are asked to replace this person, are you sure you will not be discovered?"
"Replace Lenis?" Moody's eyes suddenly lit up. "You mean, use the transformation spell to sneak into their team?"
"That's the idea." Kyle said softly.
Moody quickly thought about this possibility, and then realized that it was indeed the case.
There are more than a hundred wizards, and they are also experienced veterans. This is a lot of combat power. If used well, it can definitely give the Death Eaters a huge surprise.
"No wonder you want to kill all those who escaped."
"Yeah, only if they shut up, no one will know what's going on here." Kyle glanced around.
With the Cat Leopard and the Poison Leopard watching around, they were safe for the time being.
"Well, Professor, what do you think of this idea?"
"No problem." Moody agreed without even thinking, "My transformation skills are pretty good."
"No, the transformation spell is too unreliable." Kyle shook his head. "Only Polyjuice Potion can guarantee its safety. The only problem is that you need to drink it every once in a while, which increases the possibility of exposure."
"Don't worry, I will find a way." Moody said, his eyes falling on the golden kettle on Lenis's waist.
"These guys don't trust each other either. I can start from that." When Moody spoke, there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
He finally understood why Dumbledore said Kyle was resourceful.
What he just wanted to do was to kill Lenis and then send the news here back to the Order of the Phoenix so that they could make preparations in advance, instead of taking his place more boldly.
Even Dumbledore couldn't come up with this plan. His character and strong strength meant that he was not good at such conspiracy and conspiracy, and it could be said that he didn't need it.
"There is something I must remind you, professor." Kyle said sternly: "This plan is extremely dangerous, because not only do you have to face those wandering wizards, but you may also encounter a mysterious person in the future. It is not easy to hide it from him. ”
"I couldn't ask for more." Moody grinned, the scars on his face knitting together, revealing a terrifying and ferocious smile.
Moody was shaking with excitement at the thought of possibly dancing on the edge of a knife next.
Although he didn't like the feeling of repeatedly jumping between doubt and being suspected, facing danger all the time, he was also not used to the peaceful and boring life after retirement.
The character he developed over many years as an Auror made him seem incompatible among ordinary wizards, and he also became synonymous with trouble among his colleagues.
He knew all this, but character cannot be changed by changing it, so he blew up the trash can at the door, destroyed the mailbox on the street corner, the chimney on the roof, and met with the reversal of incident team every two days on average. people,
"But I don't have Polyjuice Potion." Moody suddenly thought of a key question, "Now it seems that I can only use the Transformation Curse to replace it first, and then I will think of a solution."
"It's okay, I have it." Kyle took out several bottles containing brown magic potion.
Moody's expression changed for a while. He wondered if Kyle had thought ahead and was coming for him this time...otherwise, who would carry something like Polyjuice Potion with them, and there were so many of them.
Several bottles contained almost a pint, enough for two days.
But Moody thought too much, and Kyle really wasn't.
The main reason is that this thing is so useful, so before coming here, he specially prepared some, but he didn't expect that it actually came in handy.
