Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 56 Night Shadow Church

Cambridge has entered a state of lockdown. What was announced to the Muggle public was a toxic gas leak. A large number of students and faculty were evacuated by the police, and the entire campus was closed to entry.The gates and walls were filled with students who were reluctant to leave, civilians watching the excitement, and reporters from various media. It was very lively.

Dudley had just started to learn spells. At this time, he could only stare. He couldn't just rush in with a gun. If he had known it, he would have brought his broomstick with him. If he had known it, he would have borrowed it from Harry. Invisibility cloak, if I had known...

Dudley was a little helpless and found a seat on the second floor of a restaurant not far from Darwin College. The view here was good and he could see some of the campus terrain, which made it easier for him to plan his next move.

Dudley couldn't complain about the British lunch. There is absolutely a reason why Britain is called a food desert by France across the Channel. A whole roasted tomato, a few thin slices of Spanish bacon, a pile of sticky scrambled eggs, and a bowl of clear soup that is watery. The mushroom soup can only be said to be very suitable for those who want to lose weight. Dudley misses the house elf craftsmanship at Hogwarts.

The campus was relatively quiet. While eating lunch, Dudley opened the pamphlet he had found from Harvitt, trying to find some clues.

This is a notebook, and the handwriting is really sloppy. Even Dudley, who has been born for two generations, does not have a very high level of English and can understand only a few words.

The first few pages describe a legend. Famine, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is not riding a black horse, but a black two-headed dragon named "Night Shadow Dragon", which was cultivated by the wizard of hell. The most powerful biological weapon.

There is also a very thoughtful illustration here, probably drawn by Harvitt's own imagination. The black dragon's wings cover the sky and the sun. One dragon's head spits out flames, burning mountains and destroying cities, and the other dragon's head spits out cold. The wind froze thousands of miles.

"Ice and fire, my imagination is so old-fashioned..." Dudley complained.

This group of modern wizards who "love magical animals" created the "Church of Night Shadow" to try to fuse some dangerous magical animals into more powerful biological weapons. The goal is of course to create the legendary "Night Shadow Dragon" , reshaping the order of the wizarding world.

From Dudley's point of view, wizards should not live together with Muggles. Human beings naturally like to establish a sense of superiority. Once you find that you have something "superior" in front of a certain group, you still want this person to keep a low profile. To respect the vulnerable is to deceive yourself and others.

He turned to the back, and there seemed to be records like a ledger, and many of the names were only abbreviated, such as kv-329, fss-500... and the like. It might be a list of goods delivered, but nothing could be seen. Useful information, until the last page, which says: 12-31 am, evacuate!

Dudley calculated the date. December 12 happened to be the day when Nina followed Jeb to investigate the first underground laboratory a few days ago. So Harvitt did get the information in advance, so he arranged for all evacuation. Side evidence proves that Jeb is the traitor.

Perhaps the underground laboratory of Darwin College was their first stop. Because there were too many people on campus and the moisture in the basement was too heavy, they moved out. Who knew that the news was leaked and they were forced to move back again. After a lot of trouble, they moved out. road.

This pamphlet may be submitted as evidence to the Ministry of Magic. Dudley put it into the magic package and swallowed the mushroom soup in several mouthfuls. Suddenly, he looked at the soup in the bowl, and then at the water flowing out of Cambridge not far away. Cam River, an idea struck.

After finding a section of the river where there were no people around, Dudley looked at the cold river water, took a few deep breaths, and jumped in.Yes, since all entrances are blocked, and the River Cam can directly lead to the rowing club, it is of course much more secretive to go by water.

Although the river water in January was so cold that people shivered, it was still within acceptable range for Dudley, who had performed more difficult tasks. He used a dry reed pole as a breathing tube and swam upstream along the river. Swim through the water plants at the bottom of the river, trying to hide your body as much as possible without being noticed.

After swimming for about 20 minutes, Dudley saw the deck of the rowing club. He swam over quietly and hid under the dark deck, listening to the movements above.

"Captain! I think we can use a Muggle gas mask to resist the poisonous gas..." A girl's voice came from above, it was Nina.

"Miss Cummings, pay attention to your identity! Aurors don't need to use Muggle things, everyone! Use the Head Soaking Curse!" Jeb ordered coldly.

"Captain Hawke, rushing in rashly may anger the poisonous leopard, why don't you let me go and investigate first!" Newt suggested to Jeb.

Dudley was stunned. It turned out that Hawke was Jeb's surname, and he was one of the targets, "Iron Fist" Hawke.

Jeb said a little irritably: "Mr. Scamander, you are no longer a consultant to the Ministry of Magic. I don't know why you are here, but please do not interfere with official business and get out of the way!"

Jeb obviously didn't have any respect for Master Newt. At this moment, he just wanted to eliminate all traces, and he hated Nina and Newt with a hole in his heart.

"First team, get the electric shock baton! If you see that monster, kill it without mercy!" Jeb ordered.The electric shock baton he was talking about is a magical tool specially used to deal with large beasts. During the Triwizard Tournament, employees of the Ministry of Magic also used this tool to suppress the fire dragons transported to the arena.

"Captain Hawke! You are letting them die in vain. The bubble spell cannot block the poisonous gas of the Poison Leopard..." Newt said urgently. He already knew the fate of the Poison Leopard, but he didn't want anyone to lose their lives. , watching these young Aurors, their fresh lives being wasted in vain.

"Jeb Hauck!" Nina suddenly shouted: "I now have reason to suspect that you are colluding with the enemy! Colluding with the dark wizard, leaking..."

"Fall out!" Jeb yelled, followed by Newt's exclamation, and Nina's voice stopped abruptly.

Dudley was filled with hatred. It was obviously Jeb who knocked Nina down with the Stun Curse and prevented her from continuing to block her. If there weren't so many people around, he might have cast the Death Curse.

"What are you waiting for?! Charge!" Jeb roared, and several Aurors quickly shouted their orders, followed by the sound of them blowing open the warehouse door and rushing in.

However, within a minute, the angry roar of the poisonous leopard sounded again in the basement. Along with the vibration caused by the explosion, it lasted for several minutes before gradually quieting down.

Just when Dudley thought the Aurors had killed the Poison Leopard, there was a sudden loud noise and something smashed the roof of the rowing warehouse and rushed out.

"Watch out for the gas!" Newt yelled. "It can fly!"

Dudley looked up through the cracks in the deck's planks, and he saw a miserable green smoke cloud spreading from above the rowing warehouse to the surroundings. The worst situation finally appeared.

The bulge on the Poison Leopard's back has been torn apart. The two membrane wings that were originally hidden under the skin on his back are spreading out for several meters. They are covered with blood clots and scraps of meat. As the membrane wings flap, they continue to move towards Most of the long scales on its neck that protected the poison glands were broken and dripping with blood. The long iron nails could no longer seal the densely packed poison gland holes, which also brought extreme pain to the poisonous leopard.

The time now is not whether the life of the poisonous leopard can be saved, but whether the lives of the entire population around Cambridge can be saved.

"Rope circle!" Newt yelled into the air, and more than a dozen ropes shot out from his wand, like more than a dozen flying snakes wrapping around the poisonous leopard in mid-air. This was He uses coercive measures when facing animals that cannot be persuaded. Generally speaking, the animals will be unable to move if they are entangled in these ropes.

However, Jeb was completely different from him. Instead, he yelled at the Poison Leopard: "Lava burst!"

A fireball bigger than a basketball suddenly shot out and exploded in front of the Venom Leopard. The explosion's flames and air waves inflicted additional injuries on the Venom Leopard's head, but it also exploded the rope Newt had sent out. , failed to tie up the poisonous leopard.

"Roar-ouch!!!" The Poison Leopard's roar was filled with hatred and malice. He flapped his wings and swooped down towards Jeb, threatening to tear him into pieces.

Jeb was shocked. In a moment of desperation, he suddenly waved out his left hand. His arm turned metallic and grew nearly a meter out of thin air. He grabbed the collar of the young Auror closest to him and pulled him to his side. in front of myself.
