Chapter 182 The Dissipating Thick Fog (Chapter 9)
It is very difficult to find clues in the thick fog. Fortunately, hard work pays off. In two different places outside the village, a palm-sized cylinder was found, floating in the air not high above the ground, emitting a faint black light.
He took the risk of destroying the cylinder. Like translucent creatures, magic has no effect. It may be caused by his weak magic. The only effective attack is his flame, but the effect is also very weak, and the attack with swordsmanship is also very small.
Unable to destroy or take away, Luke had to return to a complete house and sync the results to Hermione and Luna, hoping that Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore outside would have a solution.
Luke stayed alone in Hogsmeade. He thought of using the method of destroying the Horcrux. He regretted not learning the Scarlet Curse. There is no venom of the Snake Monster now. The power of Gryffindor's sword may not be enough before absorbing the Snake Monster's venom.
Dumbledore gave a reply through Luna, allowing him to try to use the powerful black magic.
Luke:...
He only replied three words, I won't.
Immediately afterwards, a message was replied to her and asked her to find Professor Snape.
Luke didn't think it was a safe way to let Snape come over, so he had to start checking the items in the space, food, seasonings, Bodhi leaves, earthly soul milk, and Netherworld Fruit. When he saw the Shennong Ding, he was thinking about whether to use the Shennong Ding to refine it, he suddenly thought of the description in the book.
This item is equivalent to positioning coordinates, positioning... A flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of the shielding talisman. The shielding talisman can be used to block positioning, but I don’t know if it will be effective.
Luke left the room again and came to one of the cylinders. He first checked the surrounding foggy environment, confirmed that it was temporarily safe, and then quickly experimented with the evasion spell, but it had no effect. He quickly took out a shielding talisman and wrapped the cylinder in it.
The moment the cylinder with black light was wrapped in a shielding talisman, it fell directly to the ground - it seemed to have succeeded.
The thick fog seemed to have changed, so he immediately rushed to another cylinder location, and took the cylinder that fell to the ground as usual.
"Ding! Interference mission is completed, will the lottery start?"
Looking at the gradually fading mist, he was about to send a message to Hermione and Luna, and several figures appeared in front of him, and Dumbledore was the leader.
The old bee is worthy of being a powerful man in the wizard world. He discovered it so quickly, but I don’t know how much Grindelwald has left now, Luke thought in his heart.
"Luke, how did you destroy it?" Dumbledore saw that Snape was not around.
Luke stretched out his palm, and the two cylinders wrapped in shielding talismans were lying on it. "It was not destroyed, it was just sealed in a special way. And I don't know how long it can be sealed. Let's leave these two things to the professor."
"That's great, the fog finally dissipated." Fuji also arrived at the scene as soon as possible.
Dumbledore took these two magic items to his hands and carefully checked them. Many wizards came over one after another. Seeing the devastated Hogsmeade, they were shocked. There were huge unidentified biological footprints on the ground. Luke was also shocked when he saw this footprint, which felt like Godzilla's footprints.
He followed Dumbledore to Hogwarts, and saw some corpses on the way, which made people more deeply realize the terror of creatures in the thick fog.
"This may be the wizards who left Hogwarts." When he came, there was thick fog around him and he did not see these scenes.
Before we even reached the castle, we saw two towers seriously damaged, one of which was the tower of the Astronomical Tower. Professor McGonagall and other professors were already waiting at the castle gate, and they also saw the scene outside, probably because they were afraid of scaring the little wizards and did not let the students leave the auditorium.
Professor McGonagall was excited to see Luke coming back intact, and asked, "Luke, how did you destroy that item?"
Luke pointed to Dumbledore beside him, "It was not destroyed, it was just sealed, and it has been handed over to Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore nodded, "I will find a way to deal with it later."
Everyone came to the auditorium together. Some young wizards saw their parents running out. Seeing that the young wizards were all safe and sound, Fuji also put down the big stone in his heart.
Dumbledore said, "The thick fog has been solved by Mr. Coker. Everyone is waiting in the auditorium for a while. Some parts of the castle need to be repaired. Given the current situation, classes will be closed for one day tomorrow, so everyone can relax and have a good rest."
The little wizards in the auditorium cheered excitedly, and some people expressed their gratitude to Luke. This incident could be considered as a shocking and although the process was a bit thrilling, no one was injured.
Fudge came to Luke, thanked him, and asked if the communication items could be sold. He had to regretfully tell Fudge that it was difficult to make and it was not available for sale for the time being. Fudge didn't say anything, but said it was a pity.
Hermione also asked curiously how he dealt with the two black magic items. These two shielding talismans were originally planned to be prepared for Hermione and Harry when using magic outside the school, but they did not expect to be used here.
When parents saw that the little wizards were fine, most of them left after just a few words of advice. Of course, some people also thought it was Dumbledore's responsibility and were not in school at critical moments, such as Lucius, who kept emphasizing this issue. But unfortunately, not many parents were on their side.
When Luke saw Mr. Lovegood and Luna, he also expressed his gratitude to them. At that time, only Luna and Anna had communication cards outside, and Anna obviously had no way to report this matter to the Ministry of Magic.
Mr. Lovegood cared more about what Luke saw in the thick fog. After all, he was the only person who had entered the thick fog and was still intact. It seemed that none of the dozen wizards survived when they went out, which made the people who did not leave feel very grateful.
After hearing the situation outside, the villagers of Hogsmeade Village also collectively thought of Luke and expressed their gratitude. If they had not left early, the current situation could be imagined. Ms. Rosmerta gave Luke a hug.
"Who is the lady who hugged Luke, she's so pretty." Ron asked Percy.
"Ms. Rosmerta, the female owner of the Three Broom Bar, has a very good relationship with Luke, and it is written in the newspaper. Haven't you read it carefully?" Percy said.
"Of course I saw it, I just didn't expect it."
After this incident, Luke felt increasingly that he should speed up his strength. He didn't know what emergencies would happen in the future, let alone the original plot of increasing difficulty.
