Chapter 325 Intelligence Sharing
"No matter what," Liu Tao coughed lightly and continued: "Zhang He still asked me to send you a message - during the zombie riot in western Hunan a few years ago, he and I, and several people from China The rich family appreciates your affection, but this time he is really not suitable for this muddy water, I hope you can understand..."

Dumbledore let out a long breath, "Of course I'm disappointed, but I can't understand it. On the bright side, at least my old friend is still alive and well. It's really not easy at our age... …”

"Yes, who says it's not?" Liu Tao smiled, but his eyes glanced meaningfully at the Scamander brothers and the Potter family, "At our age, we have more fetters and restrictions. , in order to think about the future of the family, I have to give up some freedom, and it is difficult to have the freedom to do whatever I did when I was young.”

"Okay, enough of the gossip," Liu Tao's left index finger gently touched a Yin-Yang fish ring on his finger. The Yin-Yang fish gave off a faint luster and then spun, "I'm here this time, of course. To respond to your call, but I also have a mission.”

"What? Even you..." Dumbledore didn't know how to continue.

"Don't get me wrong, they and I -" Liu Tao's eyes quickly swept across the audience, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "it's still different. I'm not asking for anything from you, nor am I trying to exchange any benefits with you. It's purely But - according to my guess, the mission I mentioned is probably related to your purpose of launching the Phoenix Summoning Order."

"You mean..." Dumbledore was not relieved by Liu Tao's explanation. Instead, he felt that what Liu Tao was going to say next was what mattered.

"You still remember that five years ago in western Hunan, several dark wizard families secretly started a zombie rebellion, right?"

As mentioned before, zombies in China, like vampires in Europe, mummies in Egypt, and living zombies in Africa and South America, all belong to the category of living dead. Among them, the zombies of China are the most mysterious. Zombies are also called flying zombies. They are usually made by a group of black wizards called "zombie keepers". Their bodies are covered with white hair, and their eyes are as red as cinnabar. Blade-like teeth are exposed outside the lips. Not only does the body not rot, but it is also as hard as copper and iron bones. It is said that the most advanced zombies can even change into monsters.

Since zombies are transformed from corpses with shallow consciousness through special black magic rituals, the act of refining and raising zombies in the Chinese wizarding world is called "casting magic against heaven" and is the highest level of taboo. It is similar to the taboo level of Horcruxes in Europe.

Therefore, there are not many wizards who know this kind of black magic, let alone have the courage to face the pursuit of the entire Chinese wizard world.

Another point is that, like the process of making Horcruxes, the process of refining zombies requires a tedious and lengthy black magic ritual - Horcruxes require brutal killing, using the power of killing to split the soul; while refining zombies requires It requires a corpse-raising place with extremely gloomy and fierce geographical environment.

The ritual of raising corpses has extremely strict requirements on corpse raising places. In addition, due to the vigorous raids by the Ministry of Magic of China and the Zhang and Liu families in recent years, many corpse raising places have been uncovered.

It happened that a certain medium-sized family in western Hunan, the Yan family, suddenly obtained information about a new corpse raising ground from unknown sources, and then secretly contacted four or five families who had already been dissatisfied with the Chinese Ministry of Magic. Together, they intend to refine and raise thousands of zombies, flying zombies, and zombies to subvert the entire Chinese wizarding world.

Fortunately, the place where corpses were raised was inadvertently broken into by Zhang He who was wandering around. Mr. Zhang He used the Zhang family's secret "Paper Transformation Technique" and scattered pieces of paper all over the sky. There were hundreds of them. Zhang, every piece of paper transformed into a heavenly soldier and general, turning into an iron-blooded army that was not afraid of death, and fought a battle with these "corpse keepers". Later, the riot grew bigger and bigger. Not only did almost all the pure-blood families in China participate in it, but even Dumbledore from as far away as Great Britain came all the way to help them.

In the end, the riot came to an end when Dumbledore, Liu Tao, and Zhang He teamed up to kill the bandit leader.

Later, it was discovered that this group of black wizards seemed to have received guidance from a mysterious master in Indonesia, and they also had unclear relationships with the underground Necromancer Guild in Transylvania.

Although the bandit leader was successfully killed and the Chinese Ministry of Magic imprisoned all the dark wizards involved in the incident in a prison called the "Magic Well", I heard that many fish escaped, including There is that person from the Xiangxi Yan family.

"Yes. I remember..." Dumbledore nodded and motioned for Liu Tao to continue.

"Although we finally defeated the entire black wizard group, there were actually a few who slipped through the net and managed to escape, including Kotomine..."

"Kotomine? Is that the dark wizard who presided over the corpse raising ceremony?" Dumbledore frowned slightly. Among the group of dark wizards, Kotomine was not the most powerful, but he was the most critical figure. It can be said that, Without his method of raising corpses, this group of black wizards would not be as much of a threat to the masses as the Death Eaters or the Shadow of the Dragon, or even the "Cobra" in the Middle East.

"Yes, that's him..." Liu Tao said with a solemn face: "Over the years, the Chinese Ministry of Magic and several of our major families have been sparing no effort to hunt down and hunt him, but they still let him get away with it..."

"The next thing I want to talk about is my mission here," Liu Tao said in a deep voice: "According to the reports from the spies sent by the Chinese Ministry of Magic, Kotomine and his accomplices have actually fled abroad and are lurking in Tran. The underground Necromancer Guild in Sylvania, and my mission is to arrest him and escort him back to China for trial. "

The crease on Dumbledore's brow deepened, and he said slowly: "What do you mean..."

"I am also paying a little attention to the situation in Great Britain. I know that since the Quidditch World Cup this year, Great Britain has no longer been peaceful, and various undercurrents have begun to emerge..." Liu Tao took a deep look at Dumbledore and said: " I think you will launch the Phoenix Summoning Order, and it must be related to this... It's the Death Eaters, the Shadow of the Dragon... and there's one called the Walpurgis Knights, right?"

Dumbledore nodded, his pupils flickering, "Yes, it seems that as I suspected, the intelligence agencies of various countries have noticed the situation in Great Britain and these mysterious underground organizations..."

"Then, let's talk about the connection between my mission and the situation in Great Britain. According to the intelligence we received -" Liu Tao said in a very serious tone: "After Kotomine joined the underground Necromancer Guild, it seems that With the help of the underground necromancer union, he actually successfully restarted the corpse industry, and then—the latest intelligence last week showed that he had recently come into contact with Walpurgis..."
