Chapter 1157

The group couldn't help but frown, not that they found these walking dead tricky, but that this strange and abnormal phenomenon made everyone feel uneasy.

These figures that came out of the fog are not as good as the Yin Corpse, and it is impossible to use this kind of thing for a wizard team of a considerable level. Anyone here can easily deal with these strange figures, and the results of Lupin and Sirius's previous shots are already very telling.

"Let's go to the roof first. Carlos motioned to Solim, "Let's see." "

The Flying Charm is used by everyone here, including Solim. After ascending to the roof, the surrounding figures naturally surrounded the house, but there was one situation that everyone noticed.

"They weren't close to the house. Tonks carefully kept his balance, one hand still holding Lupin.

"That's probably the problem. Solim looked at Carlos thoughtfully, "These fogs and figures all appeared after you attacked those protective spells, so can we make a bold guess that what we're dealing with now is actually a rare protective magic?"

"I've never heard of magic like this. Carlos shook his head.

Carlos hadn't heard of it with Selwyn's support, so the rest of the people would be no exception.

There are only a few types of magic that wizards use to protect their residences, and everyone is a pure-blood wizard, so there is still some knowledge in this area.

The first is the most common type of alarm spell.

This area magic will alert the owner in the event of an intrusion, reminding those in the residence to be prepared. Although the Alarm Charm has a variety of derivative spells, it generally does not go beyond the category of alarm, it will neither retaliate against the intruder nor trap the intruder, it can only do to alert the owner. The only difference is that some alarms will be expressed on some alchemy items, and if the owner does not carry them with them and does not pay attention at the time, such as when taking a shower or going to the toilet, they may not be able to react.

A specific example is the time when Dumbledore went to Slughorn, he was in the shower, so he had no time to escape, so he had to turn himself into a couch, begging the intruder not to find him.

The most important thing about this kind of magic is that it is concealed and cannot be discovered at will, otherwise it is easy to disarm the magic and sneak into it without alerting the owner.

The second category is restrictive magic.

The most representative is the anti-illusion disfigurement charm, after all, no one wants a wizard to suddenly appear in their home. The Anti-Phantom Shifting Charm used on buildings is not the same as the one used on people, and it needs to be reported to the Ministry of Magic, and the entire process is done by someone from the Ministry of Magic's Department of Communications. Of course, we're talking about the normal process.

There are also other intrusion charms, such as those for windows and chimneys, that can give the offender a hard blow if someone attempts to enter the house in an illegal way.

These are the defenses of most wizarding houses, but they can be brute-forced, like Carlos just did. But it was clear that the house that Solim was stepping on at this time belonged to the kind of "special" ones.

"Mr. Lupin," Carlos called politely, "I have a conjecture that requires your cooperation. "

"Just call me Remus, what do you need me to do?"

"I suspect you've got a beacon on your arm," Carlos said, "and I'd like to ask you to fly to the other rooftops, and if you can, farther away." "

Lupin frowned, as if pondering the possibility.

"But these things were coming at us in the first place!" Tonks tugged at Lupin, clearly not wanting him to risk it.

"Probably not. Carlos said calmly, "After I touched the defensive magic, these things appeared, and they targeted the intruders who might exist nearby, I think one of these things is used to intimidate, and the other is to mark." "

"If someone touches something like that, whether it's active or passive, they're marked so they can be tracked. Carlos continued: "I think that's the purpose of this magic – the owner of the house wants to see who is playing the idea here. "

Solim on the other side was also thinking about Carlos's words, and he also knew about such things as magic markers. This is a type of magic that requires a "medium" to cast, and this type of magic is derived from curses, which must have a target in order for a curse to be effective, so cursers usually mark the target person with a unique magic mark before harming others. There are many ways to mark people, from potions to a spell that lasts for a certain range.

Muggle lore has always had a few "cursed" objects, such as a necklace or crown, but these are only mediums, the key is the spell or potion applied to it. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now these figures on the ground are acting as a medium, using contact to mark the intruder.

Solim thinks Carlos' reasoning makes sense. Lupin didn't show any anomalies after being touched, but it's likely that he had alerted his owner - if there was anyone in the house beneath their feet.

It's been a few minutes since it happened, and even a wizard who is slow to react should do something, but Solim and they didn't wait for anything.

Lupin flew away, but the situation was not quite what Carlos had guessed before. The figure below didn't make any movement, still surrounding below.

"What the hell is wrong?" Solim looked away from Lupin in the distance, looking at Sirius, who was walking towards the eaves, and everyone was standing honestly, and he was the only one who couldn't sit idle, which naturally attracted Solim's gaze. []

"Huh?" Solim raised an eyebrow, nearly dropping his goblin glasses.

"Sirius!" he shouted.

"It's okay, I'll just stand here and see. Sirius waved his hand without looking back, signaling not to worry.

"Turn around!" said Solim with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"When have you ever been touched by those things?"

Solim handed his glasses to Carlos on the side, and he didn't talk nonsense, he put them on and looked directly at Sirius, but Carlos's expression also changed.

"Why are you also marked?" Carlos was also a little confused, just now he could see very clearly, Lupin was directly touched by (Wang Hao), but Sirius was not less than 10 meters away from those strange figures from beginning to end, how was he marked?

"He attacked the!" Solim quickly reacted.

"You and Lupin were the only ones who attacked those figures," Solim looked at Sirius, "and the others didn't do anything, and it just so happened that you two had this strange trace of magic on you—"

Carlos clapped his hands, diverting everyone's attention.

"Let's make a guess," he said, "what would have happened if it hadn't been us, but someone else?"

What else? It must have been the first to strike. Which wizard in the underworld is calm? When encountering someone in danger, his first reaction is to do it.

"So, the hands-on person will be marked. Sirius nodded, not at all worried about his situation.

"I'll try. Carlos said, raising his wand at the quiet and eerie crowd below.
