Chapter 235 Washing the Floor

"I know, Bella, you did a good job."

Gaunt's Ring Horcrux praised,

"Next, I need you to go to the location of the camp in a concealed manner."

Voldemort did not explain the reason why he was inconsistent with the previous Horcrux instructions. Hufflepuff's Gold Cup Horcrux asked Bella to hide with Gaunt's Ring Horcrux.

But in less than ten hours, Gaunt's Ring Horcrux was awakened. Considering the speed at which Bella collected life force, her other self and the Death Eaters in the camp might not have lasted for ten hours.

The most Dumbledore can do personally is this!

Compared with Dumbledore, an old headmaster who knew everything about him, Voldemort's understanding of this young wizard was limited to the family records given to him by Regulus Black a long time ago.

Now Voldemort paid more attention to Raven, so he changed his plan. He had to collect enough information about Raven while ensuring his own safety.

As he expected, when Bella hid herself and came to the previous camp, it was already surrounded by Aurors.

Under the original Qiaodong Camp, the fire that was originally burning for cooking food has been extinguished and turned cold.

But before that, when Rufus Scrimgeour arrived, the fire was still warm.

He was originally at Gringotts. The attack on Gringotts was a major case and related to the property security of the entire British wizarding community.

As a result, halfway through the investigation, Phoenix Fox found him and brought Dumbledore's letter.

The content of the letter is as follows,

[To the Director of the Office of the Ministry of Magic - Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Auror Command,]

[Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour]

[The Death Eaters who escaped from prison a few days ago are hiding under the third bridge in southern Cornwall.]

[Signature: An enthusiastic member of the public who wishes to remain anonymous. 】

So Rufus Scrimgeour summoned some Aurors who were collecting clues in Gringotts, and found the camp based on the guidance of Mr. Dumbledore, who did not want to be named.

However, when they set up the shield [Iron Armor Curse] and drank the magic potion,

After throwing two paralysis potion grenades that could produce paralysis poison under the bridge hole, there was no movement as expected.

And when they walked in, they were frightened by the strange state of the scene.

Because everyone in the camp seemed to be motionless, motionless.

It could be seen that some of them were still chatting and sitting around laughing, but their pale skin clearly told everyone that they were dead.

Dozens of Death Eaters looked like this.

"Gudu,"

The accompanying Auror couldn't help but swallow.

After a while,

An Auror with pink hair and wearing a new-style wizard robe with some popular Muggle elements,

Came to Rufus Scrimgeour and reported,

"Director, the starting point of the curse outbreak has been found. We found some strange metal slag and the corpses of two core Death Eaters on the east wall.

In addition, we did not find the bodies of the escaped Death Eaters Rodolphus Lestrange and Bella Lestrange here. "

The wizard who spoke was named Nymphadora Tonks. She had just completed her three-year internship this year and officially became a member of the Aurors.

It's interesting to say,

The two Death Eaters whose names were mentioned just now are her aunt and uncle in terms of blood relationship.

However, Tonks' mother Andromeda was expelled from the Black family because she married her Muggle father.

Therefore, Aunt Bella, who believes in Voldemort's blood theory, may not recognize the kinship between them at all.

Under Tonks' guidance, Rufus Scrimgeour walked to a small area of ​​land that was enclosed.

A male Auror wearing a black pointed hat and a single-row trench coat was about to cast magic on this small piece of land.

"Director, please be careful! I feel a strong evil aura from this metal slag."

The male Auror reminded,

This is the wizard in the Auror team who assists in dealing with evil magical creations.

Usually such a position requires mastering the very high attainment of [All Mantras Are Ended].

Because in addition to isolating the harm caused by evil magical creations to Aurors, they also have to ensure that their magic will not destroy the evil creations themselves.

These are often important pieces of evidence in the case.

Rufus nodded and waited quietly for the Auror to cast a spell.

"[Every curse ends]"

The Auror wearing a black pointed hat held his breath, took out his wand, and cast this magic along the circle he had drawn on the ground.

[All Curses End] This magic is easy to learn but difficult to master. It consumes a lot of magic power. When facing a battle, it often requires the cooperation of multiple Aurors to be effective.

But if you want to seal off the land around a palm-sized object, you only need a wizard who specializes in this magic to do it.

"Huh, okay, director, this physical evidence No. 1 has been sealed. I'll go around and see if there are any other clues."

The male Auror said to Rufus, and after that, he went to other areas, leaving this place to Rufus Scrimgeour and Nymphadora Tonks.

Rufus Scrimgeour took out his wand through the magical barrier formed by [All Curses Are Ended], used the tip of the wand to release magic, and felt the remaining breath of the metal slag.

Nymphadora Tonks followed suit;

After a moment, Rufus asked, "What do you think?"

Tonks said,

"The scent of a very old and gloomy death curse,

Sorry, that's the best word I can imagine, the magic is so unique. "

Nymphadora Tonks was a born Metamorphmagus.

Her unique talent meant that her magic was very sensitive. Only magic that was sensitive enough could be like a mirror, allowing Tonks to freely shape her own appearance.

Rufus Scrimgeour was satisfied with Tonks' answer.

This is what he values ​​about Tonks. Tonks is a typical reckless Gryffindor. Her character is like an Auror who should fight on the front line, and in the future she will be a striker who specializes in arresting dangerous criminals. develop,

But her talent is the type that can play a major role in disguise and investigation.

So since she became a full-time employee, Rufus Scrimgeour liked to take her with him. She was a very useful 'tool person'.

"The ancient gloomy death curse is enough to point us to the origin of that friend who acted bravely for justice."

Rufus said, and characterized the terrifying dark wizard who used the Unforgivable Curse and instantly killed dozens of Death Eaters as "acting bravely."

Originally he didn't plan to say too much, but thinking that Tonks was a restless guy, he would check it out later.

This might be bad, so he said,

"This is not the first time that this kind of magic has appeared. A hundred years ago, there was a wizard who was famous for this kind of magic. This is recorded in the Auror archives. If you are interested, you can check it out for yourself."

"Okay." Tonks nodded and replied,

But the interest in her eyes was dampened because she suddenly lost interest.
