Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard
Chapter 872 An Innocent Passerby
To most wizards, the Dark wizards lingering in the shadows of Knockturn Alley and Cornwall were not much of a threat.
Because they all have one thing in common, that is, they only stay in fixed places. People from Knockturn Alley rarely cross that passage into Diagon Alley, and wandering wizards in Cornwall will only gather in a port near the Atlantic Ocean.
As long as you don't go near these places, there won't be any problems.
But is this really the case?
Shotguns can certainly threaten hungry wolves and drive them to a deserted place, but the wolves can also choose to bypass the direct threat and find other ways.
For example, they can find foxes and moles and dig a path underground, which not only allows them to bypass the threat of shotguns but also leads directly to the garden behind.
When Barty Crouch Jr. walked out of the passage and looked at the streets of completely different styles in front of him, there was a hint of excitement and madness in his eyes in an instant.
"What an amazing project." He stuck out his tongue excitedly. "I didn't expect the legend to be true. There really is a secret passage from the bottom of Cornwall to Devon."
"It's a pity that we are short of manpower, otherwise we wouldn't have had to wait until a year ago to complete it." A wizard with short brown hair came over and looked up and down at Barty Crouch Jr. with a scrutinizing gaze.
The knotted muscles on his arms were like marble, and a scar running across his face made him look extremely ferocious.
"Bapollainis." The other party introduced himself as "the owner of a second-hand black magic shop."
"Barty Crouch... the Dark Lord's most loyal servant."
Seeing the other party's habit of sticking out his tongue from time to time, Lainis couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Is this a bee sting on the tongue?
Are all British wizards like this?
Especially when he heard the other party's self-introduction, he couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"Oh, oh, oh... I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it." Lannis grinned, revealing his dirty yellow teeth. "This is the first time I've seen someone call himself a slave, and so proud of him. Is he a cross between your house elves?"
The people following him also laughed unscrupulously.
"you……"
The hooded wizard took a step forward, but before he could say anything, he suddenly covered his neck and let out a painful groan.
Boom!
The next second, a head hit the ground and rolled to the feet of Barty Crouch Jr.
"I'm sorry, my men are ignorant. How could they leave such things lying around?" Lanis said expressionlessly, and with a wave of the wand in his hand, he swept a skull-shaped necklace away from under the other party's feet.
"Are you challenging the Dark Lord?" Barty Crouch Jr. took out his wand with a ferocious expression.
"Even Britain isn't unified...Dark Lord? What a ridiculous title." Lanis sneered.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
The two green lights collided in the air, forming a larger ball of light.
The battle began in a way that no one had expected.
But after a moment, they both disconnected their magic power at the same time.
"Not bad, she's quite capable." Lannis stared at Barty Crouch Jr., "According to the agreement, it should be the witch named Lestrange who came this time. Why did she change someone?"
"That piece of trash? She's dead!"
"Really? What a pity." Lannis looked at Barty Crouch Jr.'s hand holding the wand, "But I remember that she seemed to have a mark."
Barty Crouch Jr. lifted his sleeves to reveal the Dark Mark on his arm. A dark green python emerged from the mouth of a skull of the same color, coiling and twisting, appearing lifelike.
The python's eyes seemed to have some kind of magic as it looked straight at Lanis, causing him to subconsciously take two steps back.
"Very good." His expression calmed down a bit, and he glanced at the Dark Mark again, "As I said before, we are willing to join that...Dark Lord, but according to the agreement, when the Dark Lord clears the British Ministry of Magic, Cornwall and Devon will belong to us.
"In addition, you need to pay us a commission of 30,000 Galleons."
"No problem, the Dark Lord will not mistreat any of his servants." Little Barty turned his head. Someone nearby reacted immediately and threw a heavy box to the ground.
The box was opened, and inside it was full of gold Galleons, shining with golden light. The wizards around immediately became anxious.
"I think you've got one thing wrong." Lanis leaned on the box and took a deep breath, then looked at little Barty Crouch, "We are just partners, and we are not house-elves."
Little Batty's expression turned ferocious again, but this time he held back.
"Yes, a partnership." He gave a fake smile and made a decision in his heart.
If you are not loyal to the Dark Lord, you will die. But now is not the right time. After we deal with those bugs in the Order of the Phoenix, it will be these guys' turn.
He tried hard to control his expression, but this action made Lainishi feel very funny.
It can be seen that the person in front of him is just like Lestrange, both of them are dark wizards in an ivory tower. Although they are powerful, they are only arrogant in their own home and have never left the house.
So immature, you can tell what he is thinking at a glance.
But Lanis didn't care. Everyone has their own little thoughts. Besides, these Galleons were not fake. As long as there was money to be made, nothing else mattered...
Lanis gently stroked the Galleons in the box. Just as he was about to put the box away, he saw a magic wand out of the corner of his eye... a magic wand that appeared out of thin air.
Without any hesitation, Lainis instinctively rolled to the side...
"boom!"
A spell fell on the place where he was before, blasting the box to pieces, and countless gold coins scattered like rain.
At the same time, Lannis took out his wand and pointed it at an open space behind the Death Eaters.
"puff!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, it seemed that something was burning, and a charred mark appeared out of nowhere in the air.
Bang!
A broken piece of wood fell down and rolled twice on the ground. To be precise, it was a wooden prosthetic leg with a pool of bright red blood on it.
"Alastor Moody!"
Lannis became furious instantly. As someone who often dealt with Aurors, he recognized at a glance that it was Alastor Moody's prosthetic leg. After discovering that the other party had escaped, he immediately pointed his wand at Barty Crouch Jr.
"Damn it, you actually brought Aurors here, kill them!"
"I think it was you who exposed your whereabouts!" Barty Crouch Jr. was almost furious.
Of course he knew how Alastor Moody got here, as he could tell from his position that he had been following behind him and his group.
In other words, he didn't fall for Gilman's trick at all, but it was Mo Ben and the other two idiots who followed them who were fooled.
But in this situation, he couldn't tell the truth, nor could he admit it.
Countless spells exploded in the sky like fireworks.
At the same time, in the woods not far away, Alastor Moody was limping along.
He was the one who used the invisibility cloak to follow the Death Eaters before. His original plan was to disguise himself as a Death Eater and kill the wandering wizard named Lannis, causing internal strife among the other party. However, he did not expect that the other party's intuition was so sharp.
Yes, as a dark wizard who traveled to several countries and whose wanted posters could be compiled into a book, he would have died long ago if he was not sensitive.
Now he just hoped to get out of this forest that served as a quarantine zone as soon as possible.
Alastor looked heavy.
His Apparition was interrupted just now. Although the split effect was applied to the prosthetic leg, he was also injured and could not Apparite a second time in a short time.
I hope the chaos I created can last for a while, at least let him spread the news.
There are almost a hundred people in Lannis's group, plus the secret passage leading directly to Devonshire. If the Order of the Phoenix doesn't know anything, it will definitely suffer a great loss.
Thinking of this, Moody quickened his pace again.
It's just that I'm missing a jumping leg, and even with the temporary support of Transfiguration, it's really inconvenient.
Not long after, a spell came from behind.
boom!
The green light hit Moody right in the back and he exploded.
"Transfiguration!" Barty Crouch Jr. came running from behind, half of his face was burnt black, obviously seriously injured.
"The other party is a legendary Auror, how could he be caught so easily?"
Lanis also came over, and the two seemed to have reached an agreement to temporarily cease fighting and give priority to hunting down Moody.
"I have sent people to the exit in advance, he can't run away!" Lannis said coldly: "Search separately, and send a signal first if you find any clues. He has been hit by the burning curse and can't run far.
"I just don't believe that with so many of us, we could let an injured Auror escape!"
At his command, the crowd behind him dispersed immediately. Barty Crouch Jr. waved his hand, and the Death Eaters joined them.
Then the two of them each chose a direction and ran away.
Shortly after they left, a piece of mud nearby suddenly shook twice, and then a hand stretched out.
Moody pulled himself out of the ground and leaned against a tree, breathing heavily, his blue demonic eye moving rapidly in its socket.
I barely escaped, but it was only temporary.
Moody knew very well that it would be difficult for him to escape.
After all, this is Lannis' territory, and there are so many of them. It is almost impossible to escape from the siege of more than a hundred wizards.
If he had an invisibility cloak, he could still give it a try, but his cloak was broken.
Now it seems that the only way is to risk using Apparition.
Although in his current state, he would definitely split into two if he used Apparition, it would be fine if he just teleported his head away.
As long as the head is out, he can use the characteristic that the injury will not be immediately manifested after the split, and send the news here...
"Hey, Professor Moody, need help?"
A cheerful voice came from behind.
Moody was startled. The evil eye was spinning so fast that it felt like it would pop out of the back of his head in the next second.
A red spark spurted out from the wand in his hand and flew straight towards the person behind him.
"It's me, Professor Moody. Don't hurt your own people."
"You think you can fool me with this trick?" Moody jumped up from the ground. "Kyle won't come to a place like this at this time."
"That's not right. Why can't I come?" Kyle shrugged. "Why, does this place require a ticket?"
Moody didn't answer, or even speak, he just raised his hand and cast two spells.
Kyle originally wanted to use the same trick again and block it with the Armor Charm, until he found that the second spell was green, he suddenly jumped to the side.
"The Killing Curse... Professor Moody, you're going a bit too far." Kyle patted his chest with lingering fear. He couldn't guarantee that his silver shield could block the Killing Curse.
"I gave up thirty thousand Galleons to save you. Thirty thousand! You used a killing curse on me?"
"Prove your identity!" Moody continued to raise his wand.
"You came to Hogwarts in my fifth year," Kyle said. "The first lesson was about the Unforgivable Curses and the Shield Charm."
"That's not enough information. Draco Malfoy also knows it," Moody frowned.
Kyle rubbed his forehead and said, "He is Draco Malfoy?" This sentence is more extreme than the Killing Curse just now.
"Well, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is at number twelve Grimmauld Place, the ancestral home of the Black family."
Moody's good eye contracted sharply.
"Are you really Kyle?"
"Of course, a Death Eater can't reveal the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix."
"But...how come you are here?"
"Mr. Weasley told me an address, a lighthouse in Devon, so I went there to try my luck. Unexpectedly, I found something," said Kyle.
He did go to Devon according to the address given by Mr. Weasley, and happened to encounter the Death Eaters meeting.
"How come I didn't notice you!"
"You can use the invisibility cloak to follow the Death Eaters, so why can't I use the invisibility cloak to follow you?" Kyle sighed, "In fact, I always thought you had discovered me, but you just didn't say it. Until you suddenly jumped out just now, I didn't react... Professor Moody, can't your magic eyes see through the invisibility cloak?"
"The magic eye can only see through an invisibility cloak..." Moody said after a moment's silence.
He was already wearing the invisibility cloak before, so of course he couldn't see Kyle who was also wearing the invisibility cloak.
"Is that so? All right." Kyle nodded. "But Professor, when you jumped out just now, I was really scared. I..."
"No, they're back." Moody's magic eyes suddenly drilled into the back of his head, and he tightly grasped the wand, "Go quickly and tell Dumbledore what happened here!"
"Ah, there's no rush for that. The main reason is that I don't know where Dumbledore is right now."
Compared to the nervous Moody, Kyle was much more relaxed, so relaxed that even Moody thought he had betrayed him.
In almost the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people appeared around them.
"I felt something was wrong just now." Lanis walked out of the crowd and stared at Moody fiercely. "You were injured, so you shouldn't be able to run that fast. I didn't expect you to actually hide from us."
"You can't run away this time."
"Bapollainis!" Moody looked at the dozen people around him and his heart sank to the bottom.
It was too late to run now, and what was even more troublesome was that there was now Kyle beside him.
What is this, buy one get one free?
If it wasn't the wrong timing, he really wanted to pull Kyle's ear and ask him why he didn't just leave... Whether he went back to pass on the message or call for help, it would be more useful than staying here and talking so much nonsense to him.
"Wait, who are you?"
At this time, Lannis finally noticed Kyle behind Moody.
"An innocent passerby who happened to pass by here." Kyle raised his hands. "Well... well, you guys go ahead and just pretend I don't exist."
"Are you insulting my intelligence?" Lannis sneered. "Whoever you are, since you are here, stay and keep Alastor company."
Lannis didn't pay attention to Kyle's sudden appearance, mainly because he was too young. A wizard who looked less than 20 years old was as insignificant as a passerby in his eyes.
He just looked at Moody, his eyes flashing with excitement that he couldn't hide. "How exciting! I didn't expect that the legendary Auror who filled half of Azkaban would die in my hands. You didn't expect it either, Alastor."
Moody didn't say anything, nor did he respond to his ridicule. Instead, he quickly closed his eyes, and the magic eye also went back into the back of his head at the same time.
Because Kyle just whispered to him from behind, asking him to close his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Moody would never do something tantamount to suicide during a battle, but his body's instinct made him decide to trust Kyle at a certain moment.
Then, Moody vaguely felt something sliding past him, and a cool feeling came from his only remaining leg.
