Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Chapter 169 The Dark Mark

Outside the tent, wails, exclamations, and wild laughter came one after another.

As soon as the curtains were raised, everyone was startled by the scene outside. Countless people ran around with panic on their faces, and in the distance...

"Who is that?"

Looking at the guy wearing a cloak and mask in the distance, laughing and using a magic spell to fix a Muggle in the air and roll up and down, Bernard's expression was ugly.

The panic and weakness on the Muggle's face reminded him of many things.

"Death Eaters."

Adam took a look and said calmly:

"A subordinate of a mysterious man, an extreme supporter of pure-blood supremacy, a coward who seeks a sense of fulfillment in the weak..."

As they were talking, a sudden burst of fire in the distance made everyone fall silent.

"Cologne!"

As Kelly's voice sounded, she rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief after looking around to confirm that Adam and the others were there:

"Follow me. It's too dangerous here. The Ministry of Magic will take care of it."

The faces of the parents behind her were gloomy or solemn.

"Where's my mother?"

Uther noticed that his mother was not among the parents, nor were anyone else from the Egyptian Ministry of Magic.

"Mrs. Tuya went to find Fudge. This is already a diplomatic accident."

Kelly looked around warily and nodded to everyone:

"Follow me."

Adam followed everyone towards the forest in the distance, but before leaving, he glanced at the Death Eater behind him who was playing tricks on Muggles.

Suddenly, gravity several times higher than before fell equally on every part of his body. His blood vessels burst on the spot, causing him to tremble and fall down without even having time to react.

The sudden collapse of a Death Eater in the chaos did not attract anyone's attention. Only the Muggle who fell to the ground noticed the blood flowing out from under his mask, but he did not dare to check more or even stay, so he hurriedly chose a direction to escape.

"We'll stay here."

Finding a location in the forest that was slightly away from the camping site but where she could see the situation over there, Kelly took out her wand and chanted a spell. A light mist sprayed out from the tip of the wand and enveloped everyone.

Adam stretched out his hand to grab a handful, and found that it was not mist, but some kind of psychedelic magic that could hide the figure, similar to covering everyone with a layer of camouflage.

Although it's not as good as the Illusion Curse, it's surprisingly useful in the forest.

"Is this the criminal from The Witcher?"

Bernard's mother looked at the fires burning in the distance, and the same fire danced in her eyes:

"Wizards just have more magical means than Muggles. The darkness in people's hearts is the same...even the existence of magic makes the release of darkness more and more chaotic and violent."

"Darkness will always exist, so it needs legal restraint."

Hearing Bernard's voice, she turned around in surprise, then nodded with a raised corner of her mouth.

At this moment, a huge green skeleton rose in the center of the camp. It was a skull, and a snake protruded from the skull's mouth and coiled around the skull.

"The Dark Mark."

Mrs. Lauren's pupils shrank, and her face, which had been calm just now, became a little ugly.

"What's that?"

Uther wasn't quite sure why a symbol could shock such a mature witch.

"That is the mark of the mysterious man and his minions. When it appears above a house, it means that all the creatures inside will become corpses."

Mrs. Lauren frowned;

"However, since the death of the mysterious man, his minions have fled in all directions, and no one dares to use this curse anymore..."

There was silence. Except for Mrs. Lauren, no one here had experienced that period. Kelly was only a child at that time.

People from the Ministry of Magic probably arrived, and the riot was quickly suppressed. One wizard after another continued to disapparate, appearing here and disappearing there.

"Who is there?"

A middle-aged wizard wearing plaid pajamas discovered something abnormal here during inspection and immediately raised his wand.

"Eddie, it's me."

Mrs. Lauren took the initiative to step forward and chatted with the other party. Soon after, Mrs. Lauren returned to the team, and the other party also apparated and disappeared.

"It's okay now."

"What's wrong?"

Kelly noticed that there was some confusion in Mrs. Lauren's expression.

"...Nothing, let's go back to the tent first."

Mrs. Laurent shook her head.

She was just thinking about what the other person just said, and felt it was something worth noting - after the Dark Mark appeared, the Death Eaters retreated.

According to previous experience, the Dark Mark should be raised just at the beginning or climax of the Death Eaters' carnival, but this time the Death Eaters retreated after releasing the Dark Mark, and there were almost no real people in the camp. casualties...

Why does it look like the Death Eaters were scared away by the Dark Mark?

Thankfully, their tent was not damaged and they were able to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep after an unpleasant drama.

It's just that everyone obviously doesn't fall asleep that easily.

"They don't seem to have caught anyone."

Bernard leaned on the bed with a heavy expression:

"I just made inquiries. Except for one who is dead, the others all disapparated before the people from the Ministry of Magic came... When can we learn this magic?"

"Wait until you are seventeen."

After Adam answered, Uther silently turned to look at him.

"Apparition is not omnipotent. There is a special anti-Apparition magic."

Adam turned a blind eye to Uther's eyes and continued:

"For example, inside Hogwarts, there is anti-Apparition magic. Normal wizards cannot enter or leave through Apparition."

"Anti-Apparition must be mandatory in all public places from now on."

After Bernard finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown and thought about Adam's words before:

"Normal wizards? What about abnormal wizards?"

"I prefer to call it a special case... Anti-Apparition can only prevent wizards from apparating. House elves and phoenixes have similar abilities, as do ball escapers, and phoenixes can even bring other creatures with them. Together."

Bernard pinched the bridge of his nose:

"How do you say that... damn Merlin?"

"Merlin said he won't take the blame, and he didn't create the Apparition."

Colon shrugged.

"There are all kinds of magic spells in this world, and different countries have their own characteristics. It's best not to focus too much on one spell."

Uther reminded.

"How do you Egypt deal with those criminals who escaped?"

"Good question, put a curse on him."

"Can we solve all the criminals?"

"It's enough to be able to solve most of them. Do Muggles have a way to catch all the criminals?"

Bernard suddenly realized:

"I'm the one who got into trouble."

Then Bernard stopped talking and didn't know what he was thinking.

"The Dark Mark, which has disappeared for so many years, has reappeared. It seems that there will be no peace again next year."

Eugene sighed.

Knowing how accurate his premonition was, Cologne's hair suddenly stood up:

"Don't talk nonsense! Are you just guessing?"

Adam complained:

"Give up your struggle, Cologne. I think the word 'again' is enough to explain the problem."

Colon suddenly put on a mask of pain when he thought of his campus life in previous years.
