puff--
In the dead of night, a crisp, short pop appeared in the deserted street. The dust particles floating in the air were disrupted and wandered aimlessly in the air. The cold moonlight suddenly appeared in a The black shadow here leaves a ferocious outline on the dust-free ground.
The rusty word 'Badley Barberton Village' engraved on the tall roadside sign told Jin Viper that he had not gone to the wrong place.
Passing a telephone box and a bus shelter, you emerge into a narrow but straight street that stretches out of the village.
There are two rows of houses of the same style neatly situated on both sides of the street. Perhaps because of the desolation in the late night, the tops of the single-family houses are filled with wisps of mist. Encouraged by the breeze wandering in the wilderness, the light and thin mist The mist is constantly changing its shape, dragging the quiet and peaceful village into an eerie atmosphere.
Guagua——
The church bell rang at midnight and scared away a few crows resting on the cross on the roof. The crows fluttered their wings and flew into the bottomless night in panic.
Da da da--
In the sky, a large dark cloud seems to harmonize with the footsteps, and the clear moonlight gradually becomes graceful. When the earth is shrouded in deeper darkness, Jin Viper's footsteps stop at the end of the street, where a neat building is located in the garden. In front of the small stone house.
Staring at this inconspicuous house, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Jin Viper's mouth behind the gloomy magic whirlpool.
A few hours ago, Amosta was drinking tea with the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet in some of the busiest commercial pedestrian streets in London. A few hours later, Amosta had already crossed half of the street. A British man came to this village unknown to the world for the purpose of Rita Skeeter's report.
Out of the goodness of her heart, Amelia offered to negotiate with Rita Skeeter to suspend the publication of the article.
This kind of thing is commonplace for the Ministry of Magic. Whenever there is a report that threatens the authority of the Ministry of Magic, they, the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, will use their influence and connections to prevent the article from being published in the newspaper. Otherwise, public opinion will There is no room for slowdown in things.
Amosta believed that Amelia had the ability to handle this problem, but instead of bringing it up, he proposed to solve it himself.
Remaining mysterious is the best way to be awesome. Although the two are now partners, Amosta also needs to let Bones see his abilities in a timely manner, so he proposed to solve the matter himself.
But judging from the reactions of the two people after hearing this, they probably thought they were going to kill Rita Skeeter.
Of course, before this insignificant article came out, killing Rita Skeeter or negotiating with her would be a safe way. However, he did not bother to do so. Rita Skeeter Not that big yet.
The most important purpose of his appearance here tonight is just to prove to Bones that he has the ability to settle things.
"Hey, as expected of you -"
Jin Wei stood in front of the wooden gate of the garden, but did not go any further. He just looked at the small garden planted with various drought-resistant precious flowers and the two-story building made of stones, smiled and murmured, thinking for a moment. Finally, the right hand holding the wand stretched out from under the black traveling cloak.
call out--
Jin Viper's wrist shook rapidly, and a cyan ribbon-like light strip emerged from the tip of the wand, twisting and twisting in the air, and then burst out of the air.
The ribbon swelled in the wind, wrapping the house like a giant green python, and the other end of the ribbon was still tied to the golden viper's wand.
Boom!
In an instant, wind and thunder broke out on the ground.
The ground around the originally ordinary stone house suddenly shone brightly, and a huge magic circle suddenly appeared on the flat ground, encompassing the garden and Jin Viper himself. The pale light array exuded an ominous black halo, as if there was something like that. The roar of nothing filled Jin Viper's ears.
One after another, like ghosts and dementors, emerged from the black halo, opened their ferocious mouths full of jagged teeth, and attacked the intruders.
At the same time, miniature magic circles suddenly appeared on the ground of the small garden planted with many flowers, and many protective spells that had been set up were fired at the golden viper like a gust of wind and rain!
"Ho ho, I'm well-deserved for such a grand welcome ceremony--"
Faced with this magical trap that could instantly flatten a majestic building like Gringotts, Amosta showed ease and ease. A milky white, indestructible magic shield instantly appeared, covering his body.
The endless stream of magic spells eliminated Amosta's footing inch by inch, but he was facing the bright magic barrier, floating in the air like a rock among the wild wolves, despite the strong wind and rain. , still unfazed!
As the lights in the stone house turned on one after another, Amosta could even hear the hurried footsteps and the sound of broken lamps.
Just when he was about to say hello, the deep color of the house at the other end of the light suddenly became lighter. The stone house twisted and broke free under the influence of space magic, as if it had come to life.
Like the old house of the Black family, the historic old house in front of you also has a similar defense mechanism. Once a wizard tries to break in, it will leave the normal space and hide in the unlocatable space turbulence. Ordinary If the wizard encounters this kind of defensive magic, his attempt will definitely fail, but unfortunately, what he encounters is the golden viper.
The countless defensive spells exploded into gorgeous flowers on the protective barrier around the Golden Viper. At the same time, the indestructible barrier finally began to tremble slightly, but Amosta still did not withdraw the spell. To strengthen the defense, the green ribbon emerging from the tip of his staff tightly tied the stone house, holding it in place and not giving it a chance to escape.
"Get out of the fireplace!"
Amidst the endless thunderous roar, a desperate roar came from the house,
"I don't know who the person is, but we definitely can't deal with him!"
"Where to go, darling?"
Another broken and crying female voice came from the room, and at the same time, there was also the voice of a much younger, resolute girl,
"I'm not going anywhere, Dad, I want to stay with you!"
"Listen to me, Beatrice!"
The man from before yelled,
"Go to the Pig's Head pub in Hogsmeade. The owner there is an acquaintance of Dumbledore. Tell him about the attack on us and he will help tell Dumbledore about it. Hurry, Beatrice, Dumbledore promised I, he will take action when we are in danger!"
The two women inside seemed to have given in. From the dark window, Jin Viper saw the unique green fire flashing through the living room on the first floor when Floo powder was burning. They had already tried to leave through the Floo network.
Bang, bang!
However, after the next two explosions, the mother and daughter flew out together with embers and rocks, smashing into the living room and hitting the opposite wall.
Their attempt to escape through the Floo Network failed, of course. Since the house was sealed, how could the Golden Viper leave such an obvious loophole? Whether it is Floo Network, Portkey or Apparition, they are essentially the use of space magic, and the cyan light belt surrounding the stone house has isolated it from interaction with the outside world.
The people in the stone house seemed to be in despair. They were hugging each other and crying to say their final goodbyes.
Jin Wei felt that he was a little shameless. He came to ask for help, so it was okay to make a joke, but in the end, he frightened others--
"Ahem-"
The slightly innocent coughing sound was accurately transmitted into the house over the roar of thunder, making the faces of the grieving family suddenly freeze. But then, the words spoken by the familiar old voice made the male owner of the house look confused. 'Ferocious' became twisted,
"You don't welcome old friends to your door, Karkus?"
