Hogwarts Summoning Manual

Bai Lin nodded and followed Krum. They stepped into this northern industrial city. The houses here are very low and there are factories everywhere, but some of them are very dilapidated. The whole city is far less vibrant than European and Eastern cities. , There were very few pedestrians and vehicles on the side of the road in the early morning, and it looked depressed.

Krum took the two of them through the streets and alleys. Having only been there once, he was very familiar with the streets. Finally, he came to a small deserted factory area and knocked on a tall brick wall painted with red patterns. The brick wall is like Diagon Alley, "creaking" to the two sides, revealing an equally desolate street.

Catherine looked curiously at both sides of the street. Most of them were dirty bars and restaurants. The large pieces of frozen vomit in front of the door seemed to tell the story of people drinking low-quality beer last night. It seemed that the wizards of the fighting nation Like Muggle commoners, they are all a generation of alcoholics.

Krum led them to turn a corner in the alley, walked up the rusty stairs to the third floor, and came to the door of a house.

It took about seven or eight minutes to knock on the door before it was pulled open, revealing the angry face of a bearded Slavic youth, but when he saw Krum, the angry face disappeared instantly and turned into ecstasy. He hugged Krum in front of him.

Knowing that Krum is comparable to Messi and Ronaldo in the Quidditch world, Bai Lin is not surprised by the excitement of this young man.Sure enough, he very warmly invited the three of them into the house.

This is a typical magic hut. It looks very small on the outside, but it has more than 200 square meters inside, but there are strange and rags piled up everywhere, just like a waste recycling bin.

The young man cleared the dirty sofa with some embarrassment, and said excitedly: "I saw your performance in the final, it was amazing! The Irishman was beaten all over the ground!" Krum grabbed it at the time. The Golden Snitch, but the Irish team won the final championship with the advantage of accumulating points (really strange competition system...) It can be said that it is an honor to lose.

Krum smiled at him, declined his idea of ​​pouring some liquid from an unknown wine bottle to entertain them, and hurriedly asked: "Yakov, although it's a bit presumptuous, but I'm here to ask for something. ..."

The young man straightened his expression, patted his chest and said, "Victor, my brother, your business is my business! Just say it!"

Krum said sternly: "We have something important, we need to go to the Amur region, and then go to Saha. Is there a way?"

Yakov said with a strange expression: "Go to the north...there is a magic train that can reach Sakha, and it only takes two hours from Novosibirsk, but...the north is not so peaceful recently!"

Bai Lin was shocked, and hurried over and asked, "What happened?"

Yakov obviously loves his house and is as friendly to Krum's companions. He spit and said: "Just yesterday! There was a big news! The train to Saha was blown up, and many people died!"

Bai Lin's heart trembled, and he felt that this kind of thing had something to do with Barnard, and hurriedly said: "Just go to the place where the train accident happened! I'm tracking a dangerous black wizard! It's probably him who did it. !"

Yakov was obviously excited too. He excitedly pulled out a book from the "trash pile" beside him and said, "Like Murder on the Orient Express? Are you a European Auror or a detective? It's so exciting!"

Bai Lin saw that he had a detective novel by the British writer Agatha Christie in his hand. He was a little speechless, but he didn't expect this young wizard of the fighting clan to read popular novels by British Muggles.

After some negotiations, Yakov wanted to take them there in person, but because of the bombing, the train had stopped running, and they had to go to the Floo Network controlled by the chaebol, which cost a lot of money. Long Sai was in the hands of Yakov, he just wanted to be quick, and spending some money was a trivial matter.

Facts have proved that money is easy to do. Yakov took them to jump into the Floo network to the border of the Sakha Republic in less than 15 minutes, but the teleportation experience here is really difficult. Catherine almost vomited at the feeling of rolling down from the top of the mountain into the wine barrel.

A gust of cold wind that far surpassed what they had experienced before gave the four people who arrived at the station a disarm. The strong wind carried snow particles, and the temperature dropped to minus twenty or thirty degrees. At a glance, there were snow trees and silver flowers everywhere, and large patches of The frozen tundra is empty and poignant.

Even though Bai Lin was wearing thick winter clothes and a magical cloak to keep out the cold, he still felt cold in his heart. Although he had been to the sea near Antarctica before, he was protected by the water shield, and the seabed was relatively warm.

Yakov took out a jug from his arms, took a big sip, and handed it to Krum. This time, Krum didn't refuse, and took a sip too, and then handed it to Bai Lin, who took a strong sip. After drinking the wine, she really warmed up a lot. It turned out that this small pot was still a high-end product. In the end, Catherine took a sip. Although it was spicy and choking, she quickly felt the magical effect of this wine, so she quickly He took another sip, but Yakov seemed distressed.

The four of them sat on the magic broom, faced the cold wind, and flew on the tundra for half an hour. Finally, they saw a long railroad track. They flew along the railroad track for another 10 minutes. Finally, a tragic scene unfolded to everyone. before.

The explosion blasted a large crater with a diameter of more than [-] meters on the snowfield. The rails curled up, and the broken parts seemed to be burned.Four or five train carriages were burned into black lacquered shells and scattered around, showing the power of the explosion at that time.

This kind of tragedy scene that has already been in the news is of course not left alone. There are at least 30 to [-] people at the scene, facing the wind and snow, cleaning up the mess of the explosion. When they saw someone approaching, two wizards rode brooms to stop them Come here, look at their costumes, they should be Aurors from the magic management department of the battle clan.

Krum took off the goggles, and the Aurors recognized him immediately. Although Krum looked simple and honest, he was not stupid at all. black wizard.

Although this kind of murder is inconvenient to tell the common people, let alone Bai Lin looks like an oriental, but to Bai Lin's surprise, the Aurors very naturally regarded him as one of their own, and directly talked to him case. (The Yakuts live in the Sakha Republic in Siberia. They are of the yellow race, and their appearance is almost the same as that of the Orientals.)

"The survivors have been sent back to Moscow for treatment. At least 60 people died, including old people and children..." a tall Slavic Auror said, his tone was full of regret, as well as anger and anger towards the murderer. hate.

Bai Lin didn't wait for the Aurors to question him, and said directly: "The dark wizard I'm tracking is named Barnard, and he is about 186 cm tall..." He described Barnard's appearance and size in a flash: "The other party may hold There are very dangerous magic items..."

But before Bai Lin finished speaking, the Slavic Auror said: "The murderer is not just one person, but two groups of people. They had a fierce fight on the train and then caused an explosion... If one of them is yours Speaking of the fugitive black wizard, is the other party a European cross-border law enforcement organization?" His tone was rather unkind, as if he suspected that the other party had something to do with Bai Lin.

Bai Lin suddenly grew up, but luckily Krum testified for him in time: "Professor White came all the way here because he saw the newspaper and found out that Barnard had appeared near here, and it was only the three of us." personal."

The Aurors sized up Bai Lin, but in the end they didn't continue to interrogate him. Instead, they went to the doctor in a hurry and took Bai Lin around the scene.

Gu Yu</span> "At first glance, it should be an explosion caused by a very powerful Fiercefire Curse, but we still found a lot of metal shrapnel from the wreckage... Muggle weapons!" The tall Slavic Aurors should be the group The leader of the people, he thought for a moment, and took out some metal pieces in a transparent plastic bag.

"WTF!" Bai Lin was shocked, the plastic bag clearly contained bullet casings and grenade shrapnel, he exclaimed, "Spellbreaker?!"

The Auror leader's eyes widened, and Bai Lin explained briefly, "Is there a map around here? The lawbreakers are all Muggles, and they can only use Muggle vehicles. It is impossible to leave the scene after the explosion." Leave a trace!"

Although the head Auror was puzzled as to how the Muggles got on the magic train and why they clashed with the dark wizard, he knew that this was a very important clue.

The Aurors used some search magic before, trying to capture traces of the magic on the scene, and then search and deploy in a large area. If someone uses similar magic again, an alarm will be triggered, and the Aurors will hunt down again.This is a common method used by Aurors to hunt down dark wizards, but it is labor-intensive and inefficient. Siberia is not like the UK. It is sparsely populated. The Sakha area alone is as large as India, but only a few hundred thousand Population, this method of deployment and control is not to be said to be fully rolled out in Siberia, even in the Sakha area.

The Auror leader acted decisively, took out the map, and directed the Aurors to search for traces of Muggles leaving the explosion site.

"The land in the Saha area is almost covered with permafrost. The wind and snow are very strong, and the footprints and sled prints are easy to cover up, but Muggles can't go too far. My people will divide into five groups and search around. The nearest town is in the north, and they probably went there!" Auror said, but he declined Bai Lin's assistance, and only asked them to leave the scene as soon as possible, and then led them away in a hurry.

"Carrie, what shall we do?" Catherine shrank in her cloak and raised her head next to Bai Lin's arm.

Bai Lin took out a piece of paper, simply drew the map he had just seen on the paper, pointed to a village in the northwest and said, "Go here first! If there is a powerful black wizard, I should be able to sense it. !"

Yakov stretched out his head and said, "That's a Tatar village, it's really a good place to hide!"

Krum grabbed Yakov's arm and said, "Yakov, send it here! It's too dangerous to go any further! I don't want you to make any mistakes!"

But Yakov kept shaking his head and said, "Without me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to talk to the locals, and since I was a child I worshiped detectives, no one can stop me from going with you!"

Everyone was short of time and had no time to talk to Yakov, so they rode on the flying brooms and headed towards the north at a fast speed. After a few kilometers, a small village on the snowfield came into view.

The village is small, with tall wooden walls erected, and there are wolves in the woods outside the village.

Yakov said: "Wolf packs are infested in the Sakha area. If someone walks alone in the wild, it is very likely! Wolves attack... Tatars don't welcome outsiders very much, let's not let the villagers see it!"

Everyone lowered their flight altitude and approached the village against the snow. The village in the snowfield was unusually quiet. Bai Lin had an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough, as soon as they approached, a figure rode a broom to greet them. An Auror seen near the wreckage.

The Auror had a big beard, and his expression was quite nervous at this time. Yakov stepped forward and asked, and found out that they were late, and someone entered the village and ransacked it. Several villagers died, and others were killed. Locked in one of the largest houses in the village.

Bai Lin took out the map and glanced at it, and quickly locked on to the next target. He frowned and said, "They want to enter the mountain!"

Yakov came over to take a look and said, "That's the Chersky Mountains in Magadan Oblast. The main peak, Victory Mountain, is the highest mountain in Saha. There is no man's land over there!"

Bai Lin marked Novosibirsk, Amur Region, the location of the train accident, and the small village in front of them on the map, and then formed a graph.

Bai Lin explained: "They are not heading towards Yakutsk, but going into the mountains!"

The bearded Auror stared at the figure drawn by Bai Lin. He had just informed his colleagues around him, but Bai Lin didn't intend to wait for the Aurors to gather and then follow them. He had a strong sense of urgency, as if If you go late, you will miss a great event.

The bearded Auror wanted to stop them but did not dare to leave the village, so he could only watch helplessly as the four of them rode brooms towards the mountains.

The four of them walked like the wind, passing over the snow field quickly, but the closer they got to the mountainous area, the stronger the wind and snow, and gradually the visibility was only a dozen meters. Looking up, a tall mountain range stretched up, towering majestically in the wind and snow.

Bai Lin was a little apprehensive immediately, wondering if he made a mistake in his analysis, but Krum's eyes were quite sharp, and he found something under a big rock that was more than half covered by snow. They landed, and Bai Lin took a closer look. A brand new pair of skis with a big "F" LOGO on it, Bai Lin recognized it as a French brand.

It can be basically concluded that this was left by the lawbreakers, but when everyone approached and Yakov stepped forward to pull the skis out from under the stone, Bai Lin suddenly gave a warning sign.

The sense of danger was so intense that Bai Lin didn't have time to speak out to warn him, so he could only hug Catherine who was closest to him, and together with her, he jumped down onto the snow.

In the howling wind in the empty valley, there was a gunshot.

Immediately afterwards, Krum screamed: "Yakov!"

Bai Lin looked up, Yakov didn't even have time to scream, half of his head had been blasted off by the sniper rifle, leaving only his chin, blood sprayed into the air, and before he landed, he was frozen into a bright red ice cube .
