Chapter 327 Undead Guild

Chapter 327 Undead Guild
Newt recounted his adventures in Cairo, Egypt.

As one of the oldest civilizations, Egypt has a longer magic heritage than Europe. The most famous one is the secret art of mummies in pursuit of resurrection from the dead.

As mentioned before, the original and authentic mummy secrets have long been lost. Today, Egyptian magic schools are more inclined to pursue alchemy to extend lifespan.

However, just like Knockturn Alley in Great Britain, all wizarding countries inevitably have dark corners hidden in the shadows. The Cairo Black Market is one such place.

According to Newt's experience more than 70 years ago, the Cairo black market is composed of several major local gangs, but the most powerful among them is Anubi's command. He has at least 7 senior deacons at the elite Auror level, and more No less than 50 ordinary butlers of ordinary Auror level.

The black magic practiced by Anubi himself is different from ordinary black magic. He is born with the coercion that makes magical creatures fear, and he has an extremely powerful hunter instinct.

Through his power in the Cairo black market, his biggest business is to capture and kill protected magical animal species around the world, and to make huge profits through smuggling and selling the organs and materials of magical animals.

The Egyptian Ministry of Magic has also teamed up with the Ministry of Magic of other African countries to carry out encirclement and suppression operations against him, but unfortunately, the operations ended in failure without exception. Most of the time, Anubi's face was not even seen.

Of course, the reason for this is the powerful power of the Cairo black market, but the bigger reason is that many wizard regimes in Africa have long been corrupt and have unclear interests with the Cairo black market. This collusion gave Anubi an intelligence advantage.

Newt then explained in detail his knowledge and understanding of the necromancy and black magic in Egypt. Of course, there were also various speculations and rumors about Anubi's own strength.

As far as he knows, Anubi has the magic to turn the corpses of magical animals into beast mummies with fighting power. These beast mummies even have magical abilities in front of them - imagine a hidden monster mummy with the ability to become invisible, unlimited resurrection Phoenix mummies with powerful abilities, etc. These mummies have lost their minds and will only completely obey Anubi's command. What a terrifying combat power that will be.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Tao and Renn also talked about the Yan family's corpse exorcism technique, various zombies, the characteristics of zombies, and the staffing and combat effectiveness of the Cobra organization.

Then, Fusco, the most knowledgeable among the principals' portraits, also began to tell everyone about Jafar's various deeds, and several other principals followed suit and shared their own opinions.

Whether it is Jafar, Anubi, Kotomine, etc., almost all of them come from areas outside Europe and the United States - including Africa, China, and West Asia. The wizards in these areas have spell-casting systems that are very different from European and American wizards. The insights provided by each principal are valuable.

After talking for nearly an hour, everyone probably had a certain understanding of the enemy they were about to face.

Finally, Dumbledore spoke: "Now we know the identity and general strength of the enemy, but we still need to know their true motives to have a chance of winning."

Liu Tao frowned and said, "Albus, you have been in charge of Great Britain for so many years, how come you know nothing about their motives?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly and said: "Now that we know that the so-called Death Eaters and even the Alliance of Witches decades ago are actually just pawns of the Walpurgis Knights, then-Voldemort's so-called 'pure The two concepts of "Blood Supremacy" and Grindelwald's "wizards rule the Muggles" are probably just pretexts..."

"According to my inference, the ultimate goal of the Walpurgis Knights should not be to rule the world - they have a more unknown, and even more terrifying ultimate pursuit. We must understand them. All actions - only by finding out their true purpose can we respond strategically."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Everyone understands what Dumbledore said - but in the face of such a cruel reality - they can't help but feel a little depressed.

Liu Tao was the first to cheer up, "Haha, let's not be so discouraged first - the Walpurgis haven't taken action for so many years, who knows how much strength they still have. There can't be so many old immortals in this world. have--"

Liu Tao smiled slightly and said, "I almost forgot to congratulate you, Dumbledore - your students, with their fourth-grade academic knowledge, actually defeated seventh-grade students from wealthy families in France and Germany. What a young student!"

Dumbledore gave an unexplainable look in his eyes - yes, Schelling is indeed a "terrible person".

Liu Tao did not notice Dumbledore's eyes, but continued to smile: "You may not know that in the global education and academic circles, it has begun to spread that Malfoy is the strongest student in the world. In my opinion, In the next "European Magical Education Assessment" selection, Hogwarts is definitely the undisputed number one."

————————————Meanwhile, let’s switch to Transylvania.

In a dark underground palace, surrounded by humid and cold air, the entire palace is like a temple of a certain religion - the tall and ancient walls are painted one after another, with various wolf heads and elephant heads in the paintings. , a humanoid creature with an eagle head, performing some mysterious and somewhat gloomy magic rituals.

This is the holy place for wizards who practice necromancy all over the world - the Underground Necromancer Guild.

On a high platform covered with mysterious curse patterns, a figure wearing a jet black cloak, his whole body including his face covered, stood quietly.

Under the stage, there were four old wizards over fifty years old with weathered faces, standing solemnly and respectfully.

If Geoffrey Potter were standing here at this moment, he would recognize that the person on the stage is the chairman of the Necromancer Guild - his name is unknown, as the file created for him by the Transylvanian Ministry of Magic calls him For Abaddon the Destroyer.

Abaddon's lips hidden in the shadows squirmed slightly and asked: "Oliver, how is the situation in Great Britain?"

One of the wizards with a dark look on his face and his face painted with three-color curse paint came forward and said: "According to the information sent by spies within the Ministry of Magic, Fudge should have fallen out with Dumbledore. Fudge can't wait to help." He accepted party members within the Ministry of Magic, excluded dissidents, and began to pressure the Daily Prophet to attack Dumbledore in public opinion, in an attempt to discredit his image and reduce his influence in the entire wizarding world. "

"In which department of the British Ministry of Magic does your son serve?"

"Returning to the Lord, my son Guros is working in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. He is being attracted by Fudge at the moment - because the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Barty Crouch, has disappeared for no reason, and now there is a power vacuum internally. Fudge In order to obtain the support of the International Magic Cooperation Department, Guros was promised quite attractive benefits. "

"Hmph, Fudge is a man who loves success and is short-sighted, but he is indeed an excellent choice to balance Dumbledore - let your son join Fudge's camp! Take advantage of the situation to add fuel to Fudge's actions - if I remember correctly , the Department of International Magical Cooperation has the power to nominate the British representative to the International Federation of Wizards, right?”

"Yes, the last British representative was Dumbledore, who was nominated by Crouch. It has been more than ten years..."

"Very good! Let Groos encourage Fudge - it would be best to pull Dumbledore from the position of president of the International Confederation of Wizards, or even remove him from the International Confederation of Wizards. That would be even better. The Necromancer Guild will definitely reward you greatly after you succeed!”

"Follow your orders! Oliver will convey instructions to Gu Ross later. I would like to thank the leader for the reward first!"

Abaddon then said: "How is the situation at Hogwarts?"

Another old man with long hair stepped forward and said: "Dumbledore built the entire Hogwarts Castle like an iron barrel, making it difficult for our people to get close. But there is information - when Dumbledore and Dumbledore met Almost all the members of the first Order of the Phoenix who worked together with Lido to defeat Grindelwald left the mansion, including the British Scamander brothers, French Karma, and North American Eulalie Hicks..."

"In addition, the Eastern wizard Liu Tao, who had a good relationship with Dumbledore before, also disappeared inexplicably under our surveillance," the long-haired mage named Naro said in a deep voice: "We suspect that he is very likely to At the invitation of Dumbledore, he has come to Great Britain - it seems that Dumbledore's strength still exceeds that of the Ministry of Magic."

Abaddon murmured: "Liu Tao..."

His body covered by the cloak nodded, indicating that he understood that after all, it was he who made the decision to receive the message peak five years ago after the zombie uprising in China. The Necromancer Guild knows that it has severely offended several major pure-blood families in the East, so it has never relaxed its surveillance of China, and the whereabouts of Liu Tao and Zhang He are the top priority of intelligence.

"This guy is indeed a bit tricky. You have to keep a close eye on the Liu and Zhang families in the East. It's easy to deal with Liu Tao alone, but if the entire Chinese pure-blood family alliance is involved, things will become very troublesome... Huh! Is there any result in the investigation of the Triwizard Tournament?"

A short but stout mage said: "Return to the Lord, the investigation has already begun - the winner of the Triwizard Tournament is a direct descendant of the Malfoy family - Sherin Malfoy. During the competition, due to The Goblet of Fire was mutilated, and he was transported to the Little Hangleton Churchyard, where he engaged in a fierce battle at the level of a magister."

Abaddon paused slightly and said softly: "Magister level?"

"Yes." The short and stocky wizard named Amiro said: "Although it sounds unbelievable, through our backtracking methods, Malfoy does have the strength of a magister, or has the ability to do so in a short period of time. There is a mysterious method that can elevate him to the level of a magister."
