Chapter 210 Azkaban and the Golden Light Curse (Three in One)

Chapter 211 Azkaban and the Golden Light Spell (Three-in-One)

"What happened? Is the machine broken?"

Eric was stunned for a moment, and walked over to stare at the wand that was in vibration mode and beeping.

He muttered: "Strange, this has never happened before."

Dumbledore stood aside with a smile, like a passerby watching the excitement, and had no intention of taking action.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly reached out to call back the wand, but it was still a step too late.

The moment Eric touched the wand, the long-irritable wand seemed to have found a breakthrough.

With a "sizzle", the dazzling electric light instantly illuminated the entire hall, and the staff who were secretly paying attention here couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly took the wand in his hand. Even so, the wand was still vibrating constantly, as if complaining to Zhang Xiao.

"Sorry, sorry, my wand is a little...irritable, and it really hates being detected."

Eric's hair had all stood up, like an afro, and his face was black.

He opened his mouth, and a thick cloud of smoke came out, and he started to cough violently:

"Cough cough. Cough cough cough. I... I'm fine."

The lightning-struck wooden wand is quite measured. It will only electrocute you and burn you black, but it will not cause any harm.

Eric looked at the wand in Zhang Xiao's hand with lingering fear:

"This is the first time I have seen this kind of wand. The worst-tempered little guy I met before also tried to shoot sparks at me and wanted to light my hair.

What kind of wand is this? Is it also sold by Mr. Ollivander?"

Zhang Xiao nodded embarrassedly:

"Customized wand."

"No wonder! Mr. Ollivander rarely customizes wands. Only those big families can afford the money for customized wands."

Ah? I don't think I added any money. It was still 7 Galleons.

Eric took out the wand and cleaned himself up. In just a moment, he turned back to his original appearance.

Until this time, Dumbledore said with a little seriousness:

"Eric, a lesson after graduation, if you want to become an Auror, you must be vigilant enough.

When encountering unusual situations, you should act cautiously.

Recklessness will only hurt yourself."

Eric's face suddenly turned red, and he saluted to Dumbledore honestly:

"Yes, professor, I neglected it, I will remember this lesson."

"Ding, first floor, the office of the Minister of Magic."

The elevator stopped, and many paper airplanes couldn't wait to fly in.

Dumbledore took Zhang Xiao to step onto the soft carpet and said casually:

"Zhang, as for the question you asked before, I can only say that the best spells mastered by wizards must be the spells they invented themselves.

But to create a spell, you need a very advanced theoretical foundation, and the creation of a spell is not as safe as you think."

Yes, what I want to know is how to create a spell.

"Then professor, if I want to learn about this, how should I learn step by step?"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment:

"Perhaps your dean, Professor Snape, can give you some useful theoretical guidance. Okay, Zhang, the pleasant exchange time is about to end.

We are here."

Dumbledore stopped in front of a luxurious wooden door with a copper plaque on it that read "Office of the Minister of Magic".

Zhang Xiao regretfully stopped the topic. Although he and Dumbledore had met many times, there were other things every time they met.

It was rare to have such an opportunity to chat freely, and he seized the opportunity to ask many topics that he was very interested in.

Especially in terms of spells, this was the guidance of the first person in the wizarding world!

It can only be said that the harvest was quite rich.

Dumbledore reached out and knocked on the door, and said softly:

"Zhang, I hope you can watch and listen carefully next time"

The luxurious door opened silently.

Dumbledore shook his robes, strode in, and Zhang Xiao hurriedly followed.

But in his mind, he was thinking about what Dumbledore had just said, watching and listening carefully?

"Cornelly, long time no see."

Fudge stood behind the large desk, holding a beautiful feather pen in his hand.

He quickly glanced at Dumbledore's face, and seemed a little timid, but then he remembered something and straightened his chest.

He said loudly:

"Long time no see, Dumbledore."

Not sure if it was an illusion, Zhang Xiao always felt that Fudge seemed to be a little afraid of the headmaster.

He then glanced at Zhang Xiao again, as if he was a little confused as to why Dumbledore brought him here.

Fudge nodded perfunctorily at Zhang Xiao, as a greeting:

"This is Zhang, right? Not bad, an excellent wizard, the future depends on you."

He put down his pen, walked around the desk, and looked extremely irritated:

"Albus, are you telling the truth? That Peter is really not dead? Or is he an illegal Animagus?

Hidden in Arthur's house for 11 years?"

Dumbledore nodded and took out Scabbers from his pocket:

"That's right, I've checked it, do you need to take a look here?"

Fudge shook his head:

"Of course I believe you, Albus, but damn, if Peter says something, the Ministry of Magic will lose face!"

He glanced at Zhang Xiao, a little hesitant, but still gritted his teeth and whispered, asking in a negotiating tone:

“Albus, can this matter be handled confidentially and privately?

You know, if it is indeed confirmed, the Ministry of Magic cannot afford such a price! "

Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed with disappointment, he stared at him and said calmly:

"Why do you think that if Black is indeed proven innocent and the Ministry of Magic admits its mistake, it will be a blow to the order and the Ministry of Magic.

Rather than letting everyone see the Ministry of Magic's determination to defend order?

Is it the rule of the Ministry of Magic to throw innocent people into prison without trial? "

He took a step forward, with an icy chill exuding all over his body:

"Is the Ministry of Magic afraid of losing face or do you care about face yourself? Cornelius Fudge - Minister?"

Connelly took a step back, with a horrified expression on his face, as if he was thinking back to that night, but in an instant he remembered that this was at the Ministry of Magic.

Your own territory!

He glanced at Zhang Xiao, and a sense of humiliated anger burned his reason like a raging fire.

He roared angrily:

"Dumbledore! I - the Ministry of Magic! Are you trying to attack a Minister at the Ministry of Magic?"

Zhang Xiao wanted to say something, but remembered Dumbledore's previous instructions to listen carefully, watch carefully and remain silent.

I can only endure it, am I the Ministry of Magic?

It’s not like he has tenure, so where does he have the face?

Moreover, there is something wrong with Fudge's brain circuit. This is obviously a mess left over from the previous term. He can take this opportunity to create an image of himself as a wise and just minister.

Why do you care so much about the authority and face of the Ministry of Magic?

Hiss. Could it be that you really regard the Ministry of Magic as your own private property?

Only in this way will he care so much about the Ministry of Magic. Fudge is amazing. He has only been the Minister for two and a half years and has become like this. It is rare!

Dumbledore glanced at Fudge's hand quietly reaching for the alarm bell, and let out a slight 'hum'.

As if being electrocuted, Fudge hurriedly took his hand back, but still said stiffly:

"Albus, unless you plan to oust me, the authority of the Ministry of Magic cannot be challenged!"

"Yes, I have this idea. Fudge has only been here for more than two years, and you have already become a complete stranger." Dumbledore said calmly.

"By the book, Fudge. Mark my words, I am now acting as Sirius Black's advocate, demanding that Black be removed from Azkaban.

In order to participate in the trial! "

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but give Dumbledore a thumbs up in his heart, Professor! hard!

Fudge's face turned pale. He looked at Dumbledore in shock and fear, as if he didn't expect that Dumbledore could say what another Minister of Magic would say.

He wanted to say something, but finally held back, picked up a small gold-plated microphone, and said through gritted teeth:

"Department of Magical Transport, arrange the portkey to Azkaban, now, immediately, immediately!"

Dumbledore turned around and left with Zhang Xiao, as if a word with Fudge was a waste.

It wasn't until the two of them came to the elevator that Dumbledore whispered:

"Zhang, do you still remember that conversation? About whether the strong need to be restrained."

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Of course I remember, professor."

The two entered the elevator, and Dumbledore looked at him:

"Zhang, there is a devil in everyone's heart, and we have been fighting this devil our whole lives.

If you fail and release the demon, you become a creature of desire through and through.

Controlled by his own insatiable desires.

You said that strong people need self-discipline. In fact, this sentence is correct, but it is not enough. "

Dumbledore was like a dying old man at this moment, wishing he could tell him all his thoughts and experiences:

“Only inner self-restraint can easily evolve into absolute freedom, and absolute freedom brings absolute indulgence.

Therefore, external constraints are equally important. Only by uniting the inside and outside can the devil in the heart be restrained. "

"But Professor, wouldn't this be like using chains to tie up his hands and feet?" Zhang Xiao thought for a while, but still disagreed with Dumbledore's view.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded, and he suddenly showed a sly smile:

“So I think it’s unfair for me to be stuck on my own.

I decided to become a guardian of the rules and tie up other people's hands and feet with chains. If anyone wanted to be loosened, I would tie them up tighter. "

! ! ! !

Zhang Xiao almost laughed out loud, it unfolded like never before, and the Ministry of Magic had to cry.

Dumbledore finally said leisurely:

"Zhang, you are still young. In the future, you can find a path that suits you.

I just hope you can restrain the devil in your heart, take good care of it, and don't become a creature of desire."

The elevator stopped and they arrived.

The dizziness caused by the portkey quickly faded.

The first thing I felt was the salty sea breeze and the smell of rot and mold.

Zhang Xiao subconsciously held his breath and looked around carefully.

This is a dark, narrow room with walls made entirely of rough black rocks.

Not a shred of decoration.

The worn-out floor was so rotten that people were worried that it would collapse if they stepped on it.

The person who led them over was a middle-aged man with a serious expression.

He didn't seem to be a graduate of Hogwarts, because Professor Dumbledore didn't know him. The cold big nose only said that his name was the warden.

He didn't even bother to say his name.

Could it be that he had too much contact with Dementors?

Zhang Xiao thought to himself, and then a chill spread from every corner of his body.

He couldn't help but wrap his robe tightly, and then realized that this was because of the changes brought about by the gathering of a large number of Dementors to the surrounding environment.

Although he hadn't seen the Dementors yet, all the positive, optimistic, and positive emotions in his body were quickly dissipating with the temperature.

Almost subconsciously, a faint golden light emanated from his body, and the effect was almost immediate.

The coldness faded instantly, and the warmth returned to his body.

Zhang Xiao exhaled a long breath, and then realized what he had done.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared, the power of the Dementors was indeed terrible.

He even had an idea that it would be better to go home, as if he could no longer feel happiness, and his life would lose its meaning.

The colors of the whole world disappeared, and everything in front of him soon turned into a dull grayish white, which was extremely bad.

However, Zhang Xiao's attraction was soon attracted by another thing.

Is the Golden Light Charm also effective against Dementors?

However, he didn't want to try whether the Golden Light Charm could beat Dementors. If the effect was limited, it would be a lot of fun.

"Oh? Zhang, does the magical golden light in your East also have a certain resistance to Dementors?"

Dumbledore looked at Zhang Xiao, who seemed to be completely unaffected, with a sigh of surprise.

"However, I think you can also try this, after all, you have a very good Patronus."

Dumbledore pulled out a somewhat strange wand and gently tapped his chest.

A warm silver light spread all over his body like water:

"Although the Patronus was not summoned, it can effectively resist the influence of Dementors, a very useful trick."

Dumbledore talked about several new uses of the Patronus Charm, which made him feel enlightened.

Zhang Xiao dispersed the Golden Light Spell, and also stretched out his wand and tapped his chest, and a faint warm white light also spread all over his body.

A warmth that was different from the Golden Light Spell surrounded him.

The gloomy warden did not urge them, but just stood aside with his arms folded.

Only after Zhang Xiao finally took precautions did he put down his hand and lead the way to the door.

Hmm? He doesn't need to take precautions?

It seemed to be to explain something.

The middle-aged man turned his head and gave Zhang Xiao a stiff smile:

"I'm used to it."

Outside the narrow black door of the room, there was a spiral stone staircase going down.

There were holes on the stone wall, so exposed.

The biting cold wind whistled in from the hole, mixed with cold rain.

Zhang Xiao then realized that they were in an independent tower, towering into the sky.

"Azkaban is across the street, we have to go down, this is also a necessary measure if the portkey is placed in Azkaban.

Few people can resist the negative emotions of hundreds of Dementors gathered together."

Dumbledore walked while whispering to Zhang Xiao.

The stairs were slippery and covered with moss.

The warden took out his wand and pointed at the road ahead, and the slippery moss and dust disappeared.

He muttered: "I remember it was just cleaned up some time ago."

After saying this, he stopped talking and walked forward in silence.

The group walked quietly like this.

At some point, thick fog began to cover from all directions.

With a disturbing whisper, but when listening carefully, nothing can be heard.

Zhang Xiao then discovered that the entire island was covered by fog, but the tower was too high just now and passed through the fog.

The warden still did not use the Patronus Charm. He picked up a lamp and turned the knob.

A bright orange flame appeared in the lamp, and the dense fog was magically dispelled by the light.

A narrow path was revealed.

"Follow closely, don't get lost."

The warden walked forward silently with the lamp.

Dumbledore was still giving Zhang Xiao a science lesson:

"The fog here is a defensive measure, and Dementors are not affected.

As far as I know, your good friend Draco Malfoy's family also used similar defensive measures.

It's just that Azkaban is stronger and more comprehensive."

Zhang Xiao nodded to show that he knew, and then asked in a low voice:

"Professor, why can this warden not use the Patronus Charm?"

"In theory, as long as you can block your emotions, you don't need the Patronus Charm.

As long as the blockage is strong enough, this slight impact can be completely ignored."

Zhang Xiao thought of Professor Snape's unchanging paralyzed face, which was almost exactly the same as that of the warden.

So - it's brain blocking?

In the mist, the three of them spiraled down the seemingly endless staircase.

It seemed that they would keep going until they reached hell.

This was not only in the physical world, but also in the spiritual world.

Zhang Xiao felt that he was moving forward on a road that was destined to have no end.

Negative emotions such as depression, fear, and despair came with the pressure of the mist and wanted to drill into his body.

But often these emotions are just generated, and they are immediately dispelled by the warm white light.

Finally, they came to the lowest end of the tower, where the fog was much thinner.

Stepping out of the stone arch, Zhang Xiao finally saw the complete view.

This is a small island with a small area.

Not far away is a knife-cut rock wall, and the sea water is not as blue as seen in the movie.

Instead, it looks a bit dark, and the cold and humid sea breeze howls and brings water vapor to hit people.

The damp and slippery breath rushes straight into people's bodies.

The waves roll up and hit the reefs with a lot of foam, and it seems that there will never be sunlight here.

If you have to find a word to describe it, it would be dead silence.

The warden put down the lantern and said expressionlessly:

"Mr. Dumbledore, please take good care of this child, although I don't know why you brought him here.

But this place is not suitable for such a young child."

He paused, his face was still cold, but his words were warm:

"Child, if you are afraid, close your eyes. The greatest wizard in the world is by your side. He will protect you from any harm."

Dumbledore's eyes stayed on the warden for a while and nodded slightly:

"Zhang is the most outstanding little wizard I have ever seen, and his Patronus Charm is also powerful enough.

And you are right, I will protect him well."

The warden raised his eyebrows. Under the powerful brain occlusion technique, he could not show many emotions.

But Zhang Xiao still saw his surprise, as if he had never thought that such a young child could master the Patronus Charm.

It was still the 'powerful Patronus' mentioned by Dumbledore.

He said "hmm" and reminded again:

"If the Dementors are not honest, you can use the Patronus Charm to deal with them, even though there are orders from the Ministry of Magic.

But this group of monsters often do not obey orders too much.

Don't be polite to monsters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, at the end of the trail, a Dementor wearing a black cloak appeared in front of them.

Its body smelled of decay, and its scabby palms slowly stretched out.

As if it wanted to grab something, the disgusting face with a hood stretched forward, making a weird "hissing" sound.

The Dementor was breathing hard.

It was a pity that the three people had no rookies, so it couldn't breathe anything.

This made the Dementor a little angry, and it rushed forward with a disgusting sound.

The tattered cloak was dragged behind it like black mist, making a "whooshing" shaking sound.

When passing the warden, the Dementor hesitated for a moment, and seemed to recognize the warden of the Ministry of Magic.

Before it was completely enraged, the Dementor decided to bypass the warden.

It rushed behind him.

It was almost in an instant.

The Dementor's body stopped in mid-air.

Because it saw Dumbledore, the terrifying old man.

It had been beaten by him, or all Dementors had been beaten by Dumbledore.

Even Dementors didn't want to face that old man.

So it changed its shape and wanted to pounce on Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, turned his head and asked:

"Professor, I want to try whether Eastern magic can work on it except for the Patronus."

Dumbledore nodded with a smile and agreed.

"Hoo" In the surprised eyes of the warden, Zhang Xiao's body suddenly rose with a violent golden light.

His eyes became bright in an instant, in the eyes of the law.

The Dementor seemed to have changed, and its body was like a black hole.

It absorbed all the colorful things around it.

However, no matter how hard Zhang Xiao concentrated, he could not see whether it had a soul.

The Dementor was extremely fast, and it rushed in front of Zhang Xiao in almost a blink of an eye.

The warden finally couldn't hold it anymore, his face changed drastically, and he pulled out his wand and wanted to release the Patronus, but he forgot that Dumbledore was still standing not far away.

In the warden's horrified eyes.

Zhang Xiao seemed to have turned into a golden afterimage and rushed towards the Dementor.

A black light and a golden light collided instantly.

Before the Dementor's hands could reach him.

Zhang Xiao had already stretched out his hand and slapped it hard on the face.

Zhang Family Secret!

With a crisp sound of "snap", the Dementor was even slapped and turned several times in the air.

The scene was quiet for a while.

Even Dumbledore didn't expect this result.

His azure eyes looked at the golden light on Zhang Xiao with a little surprise.

The warden opened his mouth and pointed at Zhang Xiao, then at the Dementors.

No, Dementors have no entity!

In the Ministry of Magic, even a newly employed clerk knows that, except for the Patronus Charm, any attack method is ineffective against Dementors.

But... But did that kid just slap the Dementors? ?

Zhang Xiao also lowered his head and looked at his golden light in amazement.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the Golden Light Spell that can cultivate both life and death!

Just now, he just had strong confidence and felt that he could touch the Dementors. He was ready to call for help if he couldn't.

Just when it was on his face, his heart was relieved, although the touch was very bad, just like hitting a skeleton.

The Dementor seemed to be stunned by the slap. It let out a wail similar to a scream and kept trying to touch its cheek with its scabby and withered hand.

It seemed that the place where it was slapped still had injuries that Zhang Xiao himself didn't know about.

The three people almost felt that the monster in front of them was angry.

The warden hurriedly took out a delicate silver whistle and blew it hard in his mouth.

But the reason why monsters like Dementors are called extremely dangerous is largely because they are difficult to control.

The Dementor, who was slapped, shouted to the sky with an unprecedented shrill howl.

The warden's face became uglier than ever. He took off his whistle, ran to Dumbledore, and said anxiously:

"Oops! This Dementor is calling for its companions! Mr. Dumbledore, I'm afraid you can only help them calm down!"

Dumbledore did not answer, but cast his eyes on Zhang Xiao and said with a smile:

"Zhang, I think I can see your Patronus."
