Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 177 Slytherin's Locket
On a new day, thick dark clouds enveloped the sky over London.

Ten Aurors waiting in full force were escorting two figures covered in black robes, walking along the shore of a small port.

"These two guys will soon know how powerful Azkaban is."

An old Auror in the lead lit a cigarette, a new trick he had learned from the Muggle world.

"This thing is really good, want to try it?"

The young Auror on the other side declined the other party's invitation. He was looking anxiously at the two Illuminati backbones who were shackled.

The old Auror said lazily: "There is no need to be so nervous, our operation is quite covert this time."

White smoke was puffing out of his mouth, and he squinted his eyes to look at the choppy sea.

"As long as the ferry to Azkaban is ready, we can leave here immediately."

The roaring sea lapped against the shore of the port, muffled the old Auror's voice.

The wind picked up, and sometimes the Aurors had to shout at the top of their lungs.

"Oh my god, the weather today is really terrible!"

A light rain began to fall in the sky, and the old Auror threw away his unfinished cigarette cursingly.

The sound of "woo hoo hoo" surrounds the Aurors, everyone anxiously waiting for a mottled ferry boat.

The old Auror became a little impatient: "What's going on? It's already 10 minutes later than expected!"

As soon as his voice fell, a burst of black sea water suddenly rushed up from the shore.

With a "wow", like a black hyena, it engulfed all the Aurors in it.

"Damn it, what are you doing?"

"what--"

Accompanied by several shouts one after another, the old Auror witnessed an incredible scene.

The pitch-black water was like a huge fist, smashing his colleague all over the floor.

"Attack! Alert!"

A loud whistle lingered in the wind, and the fallen Aurors pulled out their wands one after another.

A black creature suddenly jumped out of the roaring sea water.

Its whole body was wrapped in the swiftly flowing sea water, its huge horns and fists were waving, and even the air was crackling.

"Resisting will only make you suffer more."

There was a vague sneer from the sea monster's mouth.

After rampaging in the middle of the Auror team, it grabbed the bodies of Anthony and Barton with its huge palms, turned around and jumped into the turbulent sea water.

"If the master hadn't warned you repeatedly, you wouldn't be so lucky to survive!"

Huge water splashed into the sky, and the bruised and swollen Aurors watched angrily as the sea returned to calm.

"That's impossible!" The old Auror with a broken right hand protruded, "How would they know we're here?!"

……

In the damp and dark sewer pipes, the water was rippling.

Accompanied by the dull sound of water, the seawater monster, which had shrunk several times in size, crawled out of the sewage well.

It pulled the chain and dragged Anthony and Barton back into the pipeline, and then turned into a pale middle-aged man again.

"Honestly, I never thought you two would be in such a mess!"

He tied up his seaweed-like hair, with a mocking expression on his face: "Aha, unexpectedly caught by the Ministry of Magic, Bieber will definitely laugh at you for a whole year."

The cursed shackles slammed heavily on the sewer pipe, and Anthony and Barton took off their robes with gloomy expressions.

"Shut your mouth!" Anthony glared at the other party viciously: "You just haven't met that alchemist!"

"Oh, yes, alchemist, why haven't I met such a powerful guy?" The wizard with hair like seaweed sighed.

He looked at Barton beside Anthony again: "Why don't you speak? This is not your style at all."

Button with a gloomy expression glanced at Anthony, then glared at the wizard fiercely.

"Okay, okay, Master and Bieber are still waiting for us, the fruit of the Bright Tree is about to ripen."

He said: "But you failed to bring back a new pair of eyes for Catherine. Guess how the master will punish you?"

Anthony and Bieber followed behind the wizard without saying a word. They walked along the dirty sewer pipe for more than ten minutes, and then came to an abandoned sewage treatment plant.

In the huge underground space, dim lights shone on the rusty iron railings, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.

A pale white tree with intertwined roots wrapped around the entire abandoned waterworks, densely packed wizards with their eyes closed, wrapped like silkworm chrysalis, hanging under the branches of the big tree.

"Aha, look who's back?" Under the big tree, a wizard with a thin figure like a woman was leaning on the iron railing.

Behind him, Catherine, with white eyes, was curled up in the round nest formed by the branches, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Arrested by the Ministry of Magic, I really doubt whether you two can continue to be the backbone members of the Illuminati."

"Yes, yes, you and I have finally reached an agreement on this matter." The seaweed-headed wizard laughed.

"Okay! There's no need to continue arguing over this kind of thing," a figure slowly walked out from behind the iron railing on the highest level of the big white tree under the glare of the dim yellow light.

He looked like an old lion.

Dark brown hair and bushy eyebrows flecked with gray, and piercing eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses.

Hardy was no stranger to this face, and the other was Rufus Scrimgeour, the current head of the Auror's office.

Anthony and Button looked at each other again, and their eyes quickly focused on the thing on Scrimgeour's chest.

"Slytherin's Locket!"

"Horcrux!"

The two whispered almost simultaneously.

At this moment, Anthony and Barton are not the original owners, but Hardy and Dumbledore after drinking the recovery potion.

In order to successfully come to the base of the Illuminati, they specially planned this operation——

Replacing Anthony and Barton, he was rescued by the wizards of the Illuminati and brought to the location of the Light Tree.

After seeing the Slytherin locket hanging on Scrimgeour's chest, Hardy and Dumbledore were finally convinced of one thing.

That is the current head of the Auror office, probably controlled by Tom Riddle's soul fragment.

The fact that Slytherin's locket is a Horcrux was accidentally learned by Dumbledore in the process of tracking down Voldemort.

Hardy had told him about the possibility that Voldemort might be hiding in Albania.

It is also for this reason that Dumbledore became strongly suspicious of Cornelius Fudge when he mentioned Scrimgeour's recent poor jewelry status.

And this is the final reason why they appear here.
