Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 379 Counting the Harvests
"I see." Mavis immediately realized that Anduin was referring to the spy, and immediately nodded in agreement, and then, paying attention to efficiency, she immediately turned around and informed the rest of the team.

Anduin, who had an important free time, finally had the opportunity to observe the on-site counting work of the Ministry of Magic in person.

There were no casualties in the Ministry of Magic in this smuggling operation against the silver spear, and the 14 Aurors at the scene, including Moody, basically controlled the situation before the arrival of the support. The Aurors who came to support did it Most of it was cleaning up the remaining corpses and putting out the fire.

However, although there were no casualties, the damage caused by the battle was very large, the most important of which was the large forest that had been burned by the fierce fire, covering an area of ​​more than ten kilometers.

During this period, Anduin saw that there were still many personnel from the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters arriving one after another. Not only did they have to deal with the scene, but the personnel from the Muggle Liaison Office had to contact the Muggle government for help. , I guess I have to make up another excuse to deal with the Muggle world.

I don't know what excuse to use, forest fire?But now it's winter, can anyone believe that a forest fire broke out suddenly on the ground covered with snow, but it's not about Anduin's business, let the Ministry of Magic take care of these troubles, and he will just be in charge of watching the theater.

Secondly, in terms of smugglers, 24 of the 14 foreign smugglers were killed and 10 were captured. Most of them survived because they were stunned by the Auror's surprise attack at the beginning of the battle and escaped the siege of the corpses. Even so, there were still a few comatose smugglers who were killed by accidental injuries from the Infernal Corpse during the battle, and only 3 of those who surrendered on the way survived.

These people are now chained by magic handcuffs one by one, and they are squatting aside for inspection. The Ministry of Magic must first make sure that they are not carrying dangerous goods, curses or viruses on them, and some of the injured guys also need to be treated.

The two Silver Spear personnel died and fled. The Ministry of Magic confiscated a pair of faceless masks, an aspen wand, and an alchemy tool that can summon Yin corpses. Anduin was very interested in this item. He was going to find an opportunity to ask the Ministry of Magic if he could use him to study it.

At the same time, the olive-shaped diving boat carried by the horse-shaped water monster was also captured by the Ministry of Magic. At this time, a small team of Aurors was inspecting it.

After counting the wounded and prisoners at the scene, Anduin, the Scamanders, and a group of Ministry of Magic personnel finally focused their attention on the smuggled goods they had seized.

Since they were either fighting or dealing with their hands before, these cages containing magical animals were still quietly placed on the giant flying carpet, and they were also covered with a tight waterproof cloth.

"All wizards, prepare stun spells and barrier spells, be careful of magical animals escaping, and beware of accidents." Bianca was standing at the forefront at this time and commanding in an orderly manner. He waited until he was sure that everyone around him was in place before responding. Several staff members of the Department of Management and Control of Mythical Creatures shouted, "Okay, take off the tarpaulin."

After receiving the order, several employees stretched out their magic wands at the same time, and used the magic spell to remotely unlock the tarpaulin, and then carefully lifted the covering covering it away.

The reason why they are so cautious is because in previous cases, they have encountered all kinds of strange emergencies. They have seen curses, magic traps, and even physical organs on cages or coverings. It's just an anti-theft method prepared by smugglers, but sometimes it will hurt the Auror instead.

In addition to guarding against traps, one must also be on guard against certain magical animals. Even if some magical animals are kept in cages, they are still very dangerous.

There are also smugglers who will prepare cages that can be opened and closed remotely. After being captured by Aurors, they will release the magical animals, and then they will recapture them according to the pre-made marks, and the reduction of criminal evidence can also reduce the crime accordingly. , in short, for criminals, they can do anything.

Therefore, taking stolen goods is also a matter of caution for them.

However, perhaps because they thought the operation was foolproof, there were no accidents after the tarpaulin was lifted.

But at this time, everyone, including Anduin, couldn't help but widen their eyes after seeing these magical animals in the cage.

The main reason is that the scene before their eyes is too spectacular, and these people are dazzled by the various magical creatures that appear in their vision.

The first thing that caught the eye were several small and medium-sized cages, which were arranged on the outermost side. Except for the small cage containing Shalltear, which was empty, the other cages were filled to the brim.

In the other of the two small cages, 7 Juanyin birds were stuffed into them. This is a small blue bird with spots on its body. They will sing all the voices they have heard in their life, and they are shrugging their heads one by one at this time.

In the other four medium-sized cages, the slightly larger one is crowded with four rune horses curled up. They are flying horses. At this time, a lot of their wings and feathers have fallen off. hairy cock.

In a medium-sized cage adjacent to them, there are two venomous leopards. These smugglers are really big-hearted. They dare to mix these high-risk creatures with other magical animals. You must know that their breath is extremely poisonous. , although the two venomous leopards have been stunned at this time, and they have cast the bubble head curse, if one is not careful, it seems that the magical animals next to them will die.

In another medium-sized iron cage next to them, there was a medium-sized three-headed dog, which was also stunned by the smugglers in some way.

And in the last medium-sized cage, there were actually several long-horned water snakes. Because these long-horned water snakes were too large and all clustered together, it was impossible to tell how many there were in the first place.

The shape of this magical animal is quite obvious. There is a gemstone on their foreheads, which is a unique species in the United States. However, because of the gemstones on their foreheads, it is said that they can grant invisibility and the ability to fly, and they have been hunted a lot. So this species of long-horned water snake is an extremely rare and endangered species, and it is unknown where these smugglers got so many.

However, in addition to these small and medium-sized cages, the animals in the giant cage are even more amazing. The first thing that catches the eye is an adult griffin. Its shape is just like the mythical griffin. This one in front of him was even worse. If the rune horses before were like roosters that had lost their feathers, then this griffin was simply a peacock with its hair stripped.
