Chapter 705 Attacked, Death Eaters and Fire Dragons
Chapter 705 Attack, Death Eaters and Fire Dragons
On the last day of July, Kyle and Cedric, who had gained nothing all morning, decided to temporarily end their mission of hunting down dementors outside after discussion.
Mainly because since the last time the Daily Prophet published an article about the bounty, most of the dementors wandering around have disappeared.
Of course, this does not mean that they have all been replaced by Galleons... Although one hundred Galleons is tempting, there are not many wizards who can kill Dementors, and they will not be so fast.
Kyle guessed that most of the disappeared dementors should be hiding. After all, Death Eaters also know how to read newspapers.
Now that Dementors have gone from being a scourge that everyone fears to a fragrant golden galleons, it is naturally impossible for Voldemort to watch his group of right-hand men being divided up.
But this is good, at least you don’t have to worry about any more Muggles being affected.
Moreover, after the dementors are hidden, it will be easier to catch them all. The only problem now is to find the specific location.
But this is what Dumbledore needs to consider.
After making the decision, Kyle and Cedric were ready to go back, but before that, they needed to go to the last address on the book to take a look.
This address was added a few minutes ago. Apparently someone discovered traces of dementors and reported them to the Ministry of Magic.
They have been busy for several days anyway, and this is not the least of them.
“Do you think someone will arrive early this time?” Cedric asked.
“Who knows.” Kyle said, “But this address just appeared, so there shouldn’t be anyone there yet.”
"It's finally over..." Cedric rubbed his forehead, "I don't care, you have to give me three days of leave this time."
"Don't you like flying?" Kyle said with a smile: "It's very common for Quidditch games to last for a week. You can't be a professional player like this."
"Can it be the same?" Cedric said angrily: "You don't have to worry about dementors on the Quidditch pitch."
"That's true..." Kyle shrugged, "But whether you take a holiday or not is not up to me."
"I don't care, anyway, my salary this month cannot be less." Cedric said ruthlessly.
Kyle was a little dazed, it was hard to imagine that this was what Cedric could say...
"The vacation is not important..." Kyle glanced at him, "It's best to have less contact with Fred and George in the future, and don't learn their bad habits of cheating and sneaking."
“They are far worse than you.” Cedric muttered softly.
The two soon arrived in Hampshire, but they flew to the address for half an hour and found no trace of the dementors. However, they saw three wizards above a forest.
Two men and one woman, also riding broomsticks, and next to them is a large box with a lock.
Before they even got close, Kyle heard their excited discussions.
“A living dementor costs two hundred galleons, how lucky you are.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect these guys to become so valuable…”
“It’s a pity that there is only one, otherwise we would have really made a fortune…”
No need to guess, the box must contain a Dementor.
"It seems that someone came earlier than us." Cedric whispered: "I didn't expect that someone could really capture the dementors alive. They are quite powerful."
Kyle nodded.
Facing dangerous creatures like dementors, it is much more difficult to catch them than to kill them, because every time a dementor breathes, it can greatly weaken the wizard's combat effectiveness...unless there are multiple patron saints to control them. It's fenced.
There were three of them, so I guess they used this method.
Kyle glanced at the three people who were talking and laughing, but showed no intention of coming forward to say hello. Instead, he and Cedric turned around and prepared to go directly back to the Ministry of Magic.
However, at this moment, a Bowtruckle suddenly emerged from Kyle's collar and stabbed him in the neck with a sharp finger.
Almost subconsciously, Kyle turned the direction of the broom again and bumped into Cedric next to him.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Cedric, who was unprepared, almost fell off the broom.
"Kyle, how did you..." Cedric was just halfway through his words when he saw three magic spells passing by in front of his eyes, in the direction of Kyle's previous position.
No need to explain now.
“Wait!” Cedric subconsciously lifted the Disillusionment Curse and looked at the three people not far away. “We are just passing by. We have no ill intentions and we will not steal your Dementors…”
“Get rid of the extra one!”
Before he finished speaking, three more magic spells flew over.
Even though Cedric tried to hide as much as possible, a spell fell on his broom.
A burst of black smoke rose from the rear of the broom, and Cedric staggered down and fell down.
Just as Kyle was about to pull him, he was blocked by the oncoming curse and had to change direction.
"I didn't expect you to escape all this..." One of the three people on the other side, a wizard with a big beard, said: "You are indeed the champion of the Triwizard Tournament."
"You know me?" Kyle quickly glanced down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Cedric had taken out his wand in mid-air.
"Of course, you are very valuable now." A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of another bearded wizard, "The Dark Lord said that whoever can kill you will receive the highest honor and the most generous reward."
“A generous reward?” Kyle asked curiously: “What is it, ten thousand Galleons?
“If so, we can definitely cooperate.”
"Cooperation?" The bearded wizard couldn't keep up with Kyle's thinking. He really couldn't figure out how to cooperate on this matter.
“It’s very simple.” Kyle explained: “I give out Polyjuice Potion, you let the person behind you drink it, and then kill him, can’t you get the reward?
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. When the time comes, we will be rewarded with 19 points, and you get the big one."
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, the man behind the bearded wizard suddenly became nervous, and the wand in his hand subconsciously changed its direction.
“Idiot!” the bearded wizard yelled.
Then he turned to look at Kyle, "Do you think you can make us fight among ourselves with such small means? Stop dreaming. No one can deceive the great Dark Lord, and no one dares to do so."
"That's right." The bearded wizard said, "And the reward given by the Dark Lord is not something vulgar like Galleons. There is no way to divide it!"
“I don’t think Galleons are vulgar.” Kyle muttered, “By the way, are you here waiting for me on purpose? If so, how did you know I would pass by here?”
"Stop talking nonsense and kill him quickly?" The witch among the three looked at Kyle viciously, with unforgettable hatred in her eyes. "You should have expected that today would happen. Before you killed my brother, when…"
“Your brother?” Kyle was confused, “Who is it?”
“Amycus Caro!” screamed the witch.
Caro? Kyle remembered that this person seemed to be the Death Eater in the Valley of the Giants.
“No, you have found the wrong person!” Kyle said: “It was Hagrid who killed your brother. You should go find him. What does it have to do with me.
"You can't pinch me because you can't beat the hybrid giant."
“All of you must die!” the witch said crazily: “You are the first one, and soon they will accompany you!”
“Are you so confident that you can kill me?”
"Do you think you can still run away?" the witch sneered, "Klaus said you are very troublesome, but in my opinion it is nothing more than that, and there is no one else here who can help you!"
"How about we discuss it." Kyle hesitated and said, "I'll tell you Hagrid's location, and you go find him first..."
“Shut up, don’t think I don’t know you are stalling for time!” the witch interrupted him.
“Don’t worry, by the time the Aurors arrive, you will have already been killed by us.
"Okay..." Kyle spread his hands, "But since you know that I am stalling for time, why do you still say so much?"
"Avada Kedavra!" A green light struck instantly.
However, the next second, a huge figure appeared in front of Kyle, and it also blocked the flying curse.
The pitch-black scales shone with a faint cold light, and the life-killing curse was cast on them, and several scales quickly turned into a gray-white color.
But in front of Noble's huge body, these scales did not have much impact.
“Fire, fire dragon?”
The three Death Eaters were stunned. The bearded wizard among them rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
How could there be a fire dragon here?
Before he could figure it out, Norbert, who was enraged by the Death Curse, opened his mouth and spit out a stream of hot dragon flames at the three of them.
They subconsciously want to run. But Kyle wasn't prepared to give them that chance.
“There are many obstacles!”
“Fainted to the ground!”
In order to escape Kyle's spell, they had to forcibly change their direction. However, during this moment of pause, one of the Death Eaters was engulfed in dragon flames and fell down on the spot.
Although the other two escaped by chance, they were not much better. The sky was the home ground of the fire dragon, and this gap could not be bridged by riding a broom.
Norbert flapped his wings and rushed towards the nearest Death Eater quickly.
The bearded wizard had never felt that his broom was so slow. In just a moment, he felt that he was shrouded in a shadow.
He couldn't help but turned around and shouted:
“I surrender, I, the armor protects…”
"boom!"
Before he could finish his words, a thick and scaly tail whipped him hard.
With a loud bang, he hit the ground directly.
In the end, the witch named Carlo was left.
Things happened so fast that she didn't even understand what was going on. Three-on-one turned into one-on-one.
Although she wanted to kill Kyle, there was an angry fire dragon behind her, and the increasing temperature around her made her dare not look back at all, and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
The fire dragon chased closely behind, getting closer and closer...
However, just when Noble was about to catch up with Carlo, two more hooded Death Eaters appeared nearby.
Two death curses struck at the same time, forcing Norbert to stop in mid-air.
When did Norbert get this angry, he immediately swooped down, and the hot dragon flames rushed towards the place where the two Death Eaters were as if they were free of charge.
But before that, the figures of the two Death Eaters had disappeared.
Kyle flew over and calmed down the irritable Norbert.
Although I didn’t know who the two Death Eaters who appeared behind were, when they dragged Norbert back, the witch named Carlo had already run away.
Kyle didn’t intend to chase him either.
If he wanted to, he could definitely catch up with the opponent with the speed of the Firebolt, but he didn't know if there were any ambush around him. For the sake of safety, it was better not to take risks... After all, he was not the only one now.
When Kyle fell back to the ground, he quickly found Cedric who was leaning against a tree.
Although he used a magic spell to slow down his fall, he was still hit hard.
“How are you doing?” Kyle asked.
"It's okay." Cedric said through gritted teeth. His leg was twisted into a very strange position, and he must have broken it.
“What about you, are you okay?” He gasped, “And who are those three people?”
“Death Eaters,” Kyle said.
“It is indeed those guys.” Cedric handed the booklet in his hand to Kyle, “I have already informed the Auror, they should be here soon.”
Kyle took the brochure and glanced at it. There was an extra line after the latest address.
“A dark wizard has been discovered, the situation is urgent…”
This is a new addition by Cedric, and Auror also has several books of this kind. In order to avoid wasting time, as long as you add or modify any one, corresponding changes will appear in other books.
This means that the Aurors will be here soon.
“Wait here for a moment.” Kyle stood up and walked towards the woods.
"Where are you going?" Cedric said anxiously: "It's dangerous, come back quickly."
But Kyle had no intention of stopping. Soon, he found the two Death Eaters who had fallen before.
But what Kyle didn’t expect was that the bearded wizard was still alive after his tail was slapped by Norbert and fell from the sky. He even limped and tried to escape.
It must have been that the Iron Armor Curse was completed at the last second...
Kyle didn’t think too much and walked over directly.
"Damn it!" the Death Eater said hoarsely, "The Dark Lord... will not let you go!"
“No need for you to remind me.”
Kyle didn't waste any time and directly took out his wand and pointed it at the opponent.
"What do you want to do..." The other party broke out in a cold sweat instantly, "You can't... you can't kill me... Dumbledore won't allow it..."
“Legilimency!”
The Death Eater's eyes immediately became distracted.
…
“Pah, pah, pah!”
A few seconds later, there was a series of crisp explosions all around... The Auror arrived.
“Everything is forgotten!”
"Kyle!" Chris ran over quickly and asked nervously: "How are you, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Dad." Kyle smiled, "He tried to escape just now, but I caught him."
“Leave it to the Aurors,” Chris said. “Follow me and I’ll take you to St. Mungo’s.”
“I’m really fine, just send Cedric there.” Kyle said, “But Dad, why are you here?”
"Amos recognized Cedric's handwriting, so I guessed that you met Death Eaters." Chris asked eagerly: "What happened."
"It was probably the Death Eaters who were preparing to take away the dementors, and we happened to bump into them." Kyle said.
This is what he saw from the head of the bearded wizard.
At first, Kyle thought that the other party had set a trap specifically for him, but unexpectedly it turned out to be just a coincidence.
The Death Eaters came to convey the news of Voldemort to the Dementors and were responsible for taking them away. At this time, he and Cedric also arrived.
The hiding effect of the Disillusionment Curse was not very good during the day. After noticing the two of them, the other party made a show and planned to do a big job before leaving and go back to claim credit from Voldemort.
Then the scene just happened.
However, what Kyle didn't expect was that he was so valuable. No matter life or death, as long as he could be brought back, in addition to becoming a core Death Eater, Voldemort would also personally improve the opponent's strength.
This treatment is simply higher than Harry's. It's no wonder that these people's eyes turned red after seeing him.
At this time, Scrimgeour also came. He looked at the surrounding situation and frowned slightly after noticing the place swept by the dragon flames.
“This is not like an ordinary fire spell.”
"They are Death Eaters." Kyle said angrily: "Those crazy guys are so abominable."
“That’s it.” Scrimgeour nodded, not caring so much.
The Death Eaters' dark magic is all kinds of strange, and fire spells are indeed their common method.
Chris on the side twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Kyle, and finally said nothing.
Afterwards, Amos Diggory used the portkey to take Kyle and the injured Cedric out of here and back to the Ministry of Magic.
After they left, Scrimgeour came to a burnt tree and touched the trunk.
“Chris, come here and have a look. Isn’t this dragon fire?”
"Ah, no." Chris also touched the tree trunk, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "The sulfur smell of dragon flame will be stronger, and the adhesion will be stronger. What appears here... should be just It’s just a special magical flame.”
"That's good." Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief, "If there is a fire dragon among the Death Eaters, it will be really troublesome."
“Yeah,” Chris agreed.
"But your son is really outstanding." Scrimgeour said with a smile: "Faced with two Death Eaters, he fought off one and captured the other alive. He is simply a born Auror. He is really useful in a place like the minister's office." It’s a bit of a waste of talent.”
"Ahem..." Chris smiled for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He coughed twice and said, "I have to remind you, Rufus, you must never say this in the ministry."
"Of course I won't," said Scrimgeour, "but you should really persuade Kyle to be an Auror. He's suitable for it."
"I will." Chris said with a smile, "But the final choice depends on Kyle's opinion."
