Chapter 110 Shadow of the Demon Dragon
The other three couldn't care less about dealing with Aquila's clone any longer, and they stood up to Aquila's attack, trying to take the opportunity to knock down Schelling.Xie Lin had just cast spells continuously and hadn't recovered yet. He could only activate the protective function of the Supreme Wizard's Robe and the Night Star Cloak, and defended while dodging.
But Daphne and Meredith were not idle either, and the two girls each stunned one of them with a stunning spell.
Morgarden had Astoria behind him, so he didn't make a move.
The only two people on the other side leaned together awkwardly. They were the leader and the only woman, and the woman's wand had already been broken.
The two wizards in the sky also stopped screaming and screaming at this moment, probably because they were dizzy.
Xie Lin opened a bottle of mana restoration potion and drank it. While regaining his breath, he cautiously pointed at the remaining two enemies with his wand.
After some fights, seeing the enemy's spellcasting techniques and habits clearly, Xie Lin finally understood where his sense of familiarity came from, and couldn't help but whispered: "Long time no see, Professor Lockhart."
The leader seemed to be taken aback, took off the mask that was already full of cracks, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, my best student."
The man's real face was very handsome, and he was Gilderoy Lockhart who had been away from Hogwarts for a year!
Since the end of the second year, Lockhart seemed to have disappeared, disappearing from the entire wizarding world.Xie Lin never saw him again, and never heard of his whereabouts, but he never thought that he would appear here.
"Are you a member of Shadow of the Dragon? You entered Hogwarts for Meredith?" Schelling said coldly.
"Hahaha, I'm so glad you think so," Lockhart laughed exaggeratedly, and even burst into tears. "But, unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I was actually forced to teach at Hogwarts by that old bastard Dumbledore!"
"Do you think I would be happy to accept the damn job of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Lockhart sarcastically said, "This is a cursed job. Since decades ago, every professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts has died, and some even died. I write well, and the annual copyright fee alone is enough for me to live in luxury. I'm not a fool, how could I apply for this position?"
Daphne couldn't help asking, "Why did Dumbledore force you to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
Lockhart laughed wildly and said, "Hahaha, that's because I'm a liar, my book and my deeds are all fake!" Lockhart glanced at Schelling and his party, and sneered, "It seems that you didn't show the surprise I imagined. You must have guessed it long ago, right?"
Schelling was noncommittal.Now that he had the upper hand, recovering his magic, it was up to Lockhart to finish his sentence.
"Those so-called deeds have nothing to do with me," Lockhart's eyes flashed with a strange light, "I just need to find out the whereabouts of these wizards, gain their trust, ask them how they were able to do those things, and then I will cast a clever forgetting spell on them, so that they will forget about it completely."
"It's a pity that once I found a target and was about to strike, Dumbledore caught me on the spot. I begged him to admit my mistake, and as a condition for letting me go, I had to teach at Hogwarts for a year! I told him that my ability is not good enough to teach, but you know what he said?"
There was hatred in Lockhart's eyes, "He actually said, it doesn't matter at all! He told me that I don't need to teach the students anything at all! I just need to play the role of a buffoon and make myself look like a squib who knows nothing but fame... At least I need to behave like this in front of Harry Potter, and successfully arouse his disgust!"
"At least I got 7 certificates in the OWL exam back then. I was able to travel to so many countries and find powerful wizards living in seclusion in various places. How could I not be able to deal with a group of little green fairies, how could I not even be able to use a disarming spell!" He seemed to be talking to himself. "He made me a complete, complete joke!"
Schelling understood everything now. No wonder Dumbledore hired Lockhart as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It turned out that this was part of his "Harry Development Plan". Through a negative case, the young Harry became disgusted with him, and then he became less addicted to his current fame and grew up rapidly.
"Everything I did at Hogwarts was spread by the students throughout the British wizarding community. My fans no longer believed in my books. The publisher closed the door on me. Without income, I became destitute and could only rely on borrowing money to live a precarious life. At this time, my master appeared..."
Lockhart's face began to turn grim, "He gave me strength, enough power to take revenge on Hogwarts. In order to repay my master, I am willing to serve him and dedicate my meager strength! Well, the reminiscence is over, Schelling, you are my favorite student ever, I don't want to hurt you, you take the two Miss Greengrass and leave!"
Schelling frowned, did Lockhart lose his mind, obviously he was the one who had the upper hand now!
Reminiscing that he and others were trapped in a remote corner and accurately ambushed by the enemy, an extremely absurd idea flashed through Xie Lin's mind. A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Xie Lin's heart, and he shouted: "Mei, be careful!"
Schelling turned around, only to see that Morgan cast three stunning spells in an instant to stun the three girls at the same time, and then showed a wicked sneer, grabbed Meredith who was in a coma, and an apparition disappeared at the scene.
Sherin fired a very quick Shattering Curse at him, only to be blocked by Lockhart's Iron Armor Curse.
"Hahaha," Lockhart's laughter became more and more frantic, "It's really you, Sherin, who can push us to this point, even revealing the last hole card..."
After he threw the magic wand to the female figure in black, an astonishing black air emerged from his body, and the outline of a goat-headed man with snail horns could be seen faintly in the black air...
The female wizard hid behind Lockhart, summoned the two unconscious companions with a summoning spell, and then Apparated and disappeared.
The moment the female wizard disappeared, with a bang, Lockhart exploded!
As early as the moment he saw the black air, Schelling thought of Peter Pettigrew's sacrificial magic. He no longer cared about the fleeing enemies, and quickly drew an ancient runic talisman in the air with his fingers——Eihwaz!
Under the crisis of life and death, Schelling poured all his magic power into the talisman. Ravenclaw's crown and Slytherin's locket lifted into the air at the same time, exuding colorful rays of light, and each shot a beam of light, linking with Schelling's magic wand like a laser beam.
The explosion was so powerful that the surrounding woods were leveled.
But inside the phantom of the palace, none of them were injured.
Xie Lin finally successfully cast a complete Guruni magic, but at this moment he couldn't feel the joy in his heart.
Schelling awakened Gareth, Daphne and Astoria successively with the recovery spell.When they saw the tragic traces around them, they all felt scared, and at the same time felt awe of Xie Lin's methods.
Being able to protect three unconscious people at the same time under such a powerful magic, and without any injuries, this kind of protection is beyond their imagination.After all, they all knew that Xie Lin hadn't made any arrangements in this place in advance, which meant that it couldn't be protective spells such as "Protect All" and "Immortal Evil".
Gareth quickly understood what happened, understood the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help frowning.
Not far away, they found two men in black who had been swept into the air, and their bodies were blown away by the impact of the explosion.Gareth used an unknown spell on their heads, and simply repaired the bloody faces. One of the two was a branch of the Aibo family, and the other was a direct line steward of the Slughorn family. Although they were not important celebrities, they also occupied a certain position in their families.
At this time, people from the Ministry of Magic apparated over.
Gareth said that this matter was handed over to him, and let Schelling and the others go back to the camp first.
Along the way, Xie Lin's face was so gloomy that ink dripped out, and the hand holding the wand was covered with swollen veins due to excessive force.He suddenly thought of an important matter, so he quickened his pace and rushed back to the camp.
The first camp area was devastated, and traces of magical destruction could be seen everywhere.House-elves from each family are hard at work restoring the tent.When the riot broke out, most of the house elves were ordered to hide in the camp to prevent criminals from taking the opportunity to enter the tent to steal and rob.
And those thugs in the name of Death Eaters would not attack camps with house elves, after all, having a house elf could almost represent a symbol of an ancient pure-blood family.Of course, people still have to evacuate, after all, who knows if there will be an emergency?
"Dino!" As soon as he entered the tent, Schelling eagerly called out the name of the house-elf.
With a crackle, Dino respectfully appeared in front of the three of them, "Dino is here, what can the young master do for Dino?"
"I know that there is a soul contract between the house elf and its master, can you sense Mei's position now?" Sherin said quickly.
Dino closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, as if performing some mysterious magic.After a long while, it shook its head, showing a very confused expression, "I can sense the existence of the master, but I can't sense her position. It seems... It seems that the soul contract has been affected by some kind of power... By the way, why didn't the master come back with you?"
"Mei has an accident. She was captured by a mysterious organization. Dino, I need your help now." Schelling said anxiously, "Listen, Dino, I know you only obey your master's orders, but Mei may be in danger. The longer we wait, the more dangerous the danger will be. I need you to take me to Shafik's old house, can you? Please!"
It stands to reason that without Meredith's permission, Dino can't take outsiders to Shafik's old house, but Meredith's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, and Dino knows a thing or two about the intimate relationship between the hostess and Schelling, so he only hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
"You two stay here temporarily, waiting for Uncle Gareth to come back. I'll come as soon as I go!" Schelling confessed to the two girls, Daphne and Astoria, and took Dino's hand, and one person and one elf disappeared after a crackle.
In Hambledon, a small village forty miles west of London, outside a forest, a man and an elf suddenly appeared from the void.
"Is this right here, Dino?" Schelling asked.
"Yes, Master Malfoy," Dino's tone was full of doubts, he wandered around several big pine trees, "the ancestral house is here—" it even circled around a pine tree with some decorations on it, "strange, why can't I see it?"
"The Loyalty Curse." Sherin said calmly.
"what?"
"This is a kind of magic that can completely hide a certain location. It belongs to the top level of shielding magic. No matter it is a tracking spell, a revealing spell, a villain spell, or even a trace or a forbidden word spell, it cannot break through its shielding." Xie Lin explained, "You clearly know that you are in this position, but even if you have put your face on the real door of the ancestral house, you still can't see anything in your eyes."
"Then, what should we do?" Dino looked a little flustered. For him, the safety of his master was his most important mission.
Xie Lin has also begun to calm down now, Meredith must be rescued, but blind panic will not help.
"Let's go." Xie Lin's voice was chilling, "Trust me! No matter how many difficulties there are, I will definitely rescue your master."
