#839 - Install 'Talisman'

For a time, the heavy criminals in the entire cell block stared blankly in the direction of Lockhart's cell, listening to his constipated grunts and groans.

After a good while, Lockhart struggled to support himself against the wall as he came to the cell door, holding a pile of grape-sized metal beads in his hands.

"Fortunately, I have not failed!" Lockhart pushed the beads forward. "The Dark Lord's mission is finally complete. The rest is up to you."

With that, Lockhart passed the handful of beads to Bellatrix in the neighboring cell.

Bellatrix, the female Death Eater who was known for being fearless and audacious, couldn't help but twitch her face when faced with this pile of smelly objects, her expression even showing a hint of fear.

What the hell is all this?

Bellatrix roared inwardly. She couldn't understand why she had to do this kind of thing in this place. Escape with a pile of feces? Are you kidding me?

"Don't delay!" Lockhart urged, seeing that Bellatrix was not acting. "Hurry up, are you planning to betray the Dark Lord? This is specially prepared by the Lord to save you!"

"Betray! No! Absolutely not! I will never betray my master!" Bellatrix shuddered upon hearing this, and immediately shook her head violently.

Then, she mustered her courage and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before using her trembling hands to take the pile of wet, sticky, and smelly things.

"How do I use this?" After taking the dirty things, Bellatrix seemed ready to go all out, and asked while holding her breath.

"It's very simple... Hide it inside your body like I did, and the Dementors won't be able to suck your souls!"

At this point, Lockhart put on a righteous expression. "I have handed over all the protective charms to you. Don't let down the Dark Lord and my good intentions!"

Bellatrix swallowed again, not knowing if she had listened to Lockhart's words, but she honestly distributed the charms to the other Death Eaters.

The smooth distribution of the props also relied on loopholes in the cell design.

In order to allow the Dementors to eat smoothly, the cells in Azkaban were designed to be open, with the doors and outer walls made of hard metal bars. If it were a closed cell door with a gap to observe the outside world, communication between them would not be so easy.

After receiving a metal bead each, these once-invincible Death Eaters fell silent as they looked at it. They stared at the smelly, disgusting alchemical item in their hands, and didn't know how to react.

What's even more tragic is that the treatment of prisoners in Azkaban is ridiculously poor, and the water supply is fixed and limited every day. For the time being, everyone can't even clean the charm in their hands.

In other words, they still have to use a part of Lockhart's body?

Thinking of this, Rodolphus felt his stomach churn, and he wanted to vomit even more. In the end, Bellatrix, who was most loyal to Voldemort, made up her mind first.

"For the master! For the glory of the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord, I'm going all out!" Bellatrix shouted, then resolutely stretched her hand holding the metal bead into her pants.

After a while, her expression changed from struggling to comfortable, as if she had experienced some thrilling test.

Seeing Bellatrix taking the lead, the other Death Eaters used the 'amulets' that Lockhart brought in on themselves one after another.

Watching the Death Eaters on this floor put on expressions of ferocity, entanglement, pain, or comfort as they stuffed things into their back doors, Lockhart in the distance breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmph! You guys have this day too!

Lockhart felt depressed when he recalled the scene when Anduin forced him to stuff steel balls into his body. Now, seeing that others can also enjoy the pain he suffered is so satisfying.

As for why Anduin asked him to help these Death Eaters escape from prison, Lockhart didn't dare to ask or think about it. Anyway, after months of contact, he didn't dare to disobey the other party's orders, even if Anduin was preparing to let him deceive this large group of vicious Death Eaters.

After equipping themselves with the amulets, the Death Eaters suddenly fell into a daze. They hadn't even tested the effect of this item, so why did they obediently install them all?

But before they could question it for long, the opportunity to verify it came. It turned out that it was time for a new round of Dementor patrols.

Soon, several cloak-clad, floating, ghost-like monsters slowly floated down the corridor. Every time they passed a cell, they would put their heads next to the bars, open their mouths, and suck in large gulps.

In fact, for these Dementors, the food provided by the prisoners in Azkaban is getting worse and worse. How can these guys have so many happy memories in their minds? The Ministry of Magic's agreement with them also stipulates that they cannot kill people, so each round of sucking can only fill them up halfway.

As a result, the effect of today's patrol was even worse than before. They found that after sucking for a long time in front of most of the cell doors, they couldn't suck out a trace of memory or soul.

However, these guys with worrying IQs did not think that these people used alchemical items to shield their suction, but only suspected that the souls in these prisoners' bodies had been sucked dry by them.

So after sucking hard, these Dementors left this floor with dissatisfied emotions, feeling like employees who were cursing and shouting that they were not full.

After experiencing the Dementor's patrol, the Death Eaters gathered in front of the cell door with surprise on their faces.

"It's really useful!" Rodolphus's cheers were full of surprise. "The Dementors couldn't suck a trace of magic from me!"

"Me too! The amulet bestowed by the master is so magical!"

"Long live the Dark Lord! Long live the Death Eaters!"

After truly experiencing the effect of the alchemical item, everyone cheered. They even attributed this miracle to Voldemort and threw the embarrassment of wearing the item behind them.

At this moment, Lockhart looked at this scene with a slightly pale face. After taking out all the amulets in his body, he lost the ability to resist the Dementors' suction.

Of course, the monitors deployed in his body by Anduin can also resist some of the Dementors' attacks, but the function is not so complete after all, so Lockhart will still feel a burst of weakness.

Seeing Lockhart's changes, the Death Eaters on the opposite side nodded. They now have 100% trust in this guy who claims to be the Dark Lord's new servant.

Not only did the other party painstakingly bring the weapon to help them escape from Azkaban, but now he doesn't even care about his own safety, just to complete the Dark Lord's instructions. This is also a great loyalist among the former Death Eaters!

"Lockhart, we won't forget your功劳. You can work hard for two days first. After I recover completely, I will definitely take you away with me. Don't worry! Even if I don't have a wand in my hand, I can Apparate with people." Rodolphus patted Lockhart on the chest with confidence.

But at this time, Lockhart cursed secretly in his heart, who the hell wants to go out with you, I don't want to die...

"No! You should take care of your own safety, because you have more important tasks on your shoulders." Lockhart refused righteously.

"The Dark Lord is in a difficult situation now. After everyone escapes from prison, the Ministry of Magic will definitely issue a reward, and I am too famous in various countries. If I escape with you, it will easily expose the Lord's whereabouts!"

"This..." Seeing Lockhart being so loyal, even Rodolphus, who never talked about relationships with people, was a little embarrassed. "But the master will definitely blame us if he only sees a few of us escape without you, right?"

"Hehe..." Lockhart smiled bitterly. "The Dark Lord will lose some of his memory every time he commits suicide and wakes up. It's hard to say whether he still remembers me."

"If you really want to repay me, please escape without missing a single one. This is not in vain for my efforts!"

Hearing Lockhart say this, the Death Eaters nodded slowly. They themselves are not the kind of people who can think for others. Since the other party has refused, what else is there to say? They just go with the flow.

At this time, Bellatrix interjected and asked, "Lockhart, besides letting you bring things in, did the master tell you anything else? How should we find him after we go out?"

For these Death Eaters with the Dark Mark, their whereabouts are unilaterally transparent to Voldemort, but they do not have the ability to find the Dark Lord in reverse, and it is even difficult to contact him.

"After you go out, first go to Albania and hide in the southern forest there. The Dark Lord will be able to sense your Dark Marks in the nearby area, and he will find you then." Lockhart replied in a deep voice.

At the same time, he solemnly instructed, "At the same time, you must remember not to act rashly after you go out, and don't cause trouble outside. The environment of the wizarding world is much stricter than it was ten years ago. If you are not careful, you will attract the Ministry of Magic's siege."

"In addition, after you escape, remember to run directly to foreign countries. Never sneak back to England, or even approach England. It is simply full of dangers now. A little carelessness will attract thunderous strikes!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Rodolphus looked at the other party in disbelief. They used to be lawless thugs who would torture anyone who offended them, and kill them on the spot if it was serious.

Not to mention after regaining their freedom, they will definitely indulge themselves. Now let them restrain themselves? It's better not to let them out!
