The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 493: Prison Break

Latest URL:

The centaur Prophet Huiyi's body is actually quite large compared to humans, so in order to make himself look humble enough, and to make it easier for Link to take the crown, he had to curl up quite a bit.

However, Link has no intention of taking the crown for a long time.

He just looked at the centaur prophet Huiyi with a half-smile.

It wasn't until Huiyi, the centaur prophet, couldn't hold back his strength that he began to sweat on his forehead and tremble all over. Link took over the crown woven from rattan and put it on his head.

"I will reluctantly accept your allegiance." Link Wei raised his head and said, "The support materials you need will be gradually transported to the centaur village, but if you want more, it depends on your performance .”

"We will not let you down, Master Qixing." A gleam of joy flashed in Hui Yi's eyes, but he still managed to maintain a serious expression on his face, "Also, Sir Qixing, I noticed last night that in the West There is a demon star rising in opposition to the morning star you represent. This is probably some new victory for one of your enemies, and I hope it will be of some help to you."

"Ah, I see."

Link seemed to have lost interest in communicating with the centaur, nodded, and then took Newland and Sceffen's head and left this ridiculously luxurious room in the style of the centaur. cabin.

The three of them rejected the request of the horse people to escort them, and went straight through the Forbidden Forest, heading towards Hogwarts Castle.

The three of them kept an extremely strange silence along the way.

It wasn't until the snow-covered Hogwarts Castle faintly appeared in their field of vision that Sceffen approached Link and asked in a very tangled manner:

"Your Excellency Foley, may I ask, what is the support material you mentioned earlier?"

Link kept on stepping, but turned his head to glance at Sceffen and the equally curious Newland, and then said with a smile:

"Grain seeds, tools, wine and other Muggle living utensils."

Hearing that Newland, who was born in a Muggle family, didn't respond, Sceffen frowned and said:

"But they are horse people! As far as I know, horse people don't care about these things, they don't even care much about their own death, after all, it is also a part of nature. And, you also said before... "

"Yes, I did say before that the centaur is a race that follows nature and its living habits are similar to the legendary elves." Link said with a half-smile, "but what I'm talking about is the centaur before the goblin rebellion .The centaurs were truly selfless creatures back then, but now..."

Link didn't continue talking, but just shook his head very contemptuously.

"Why is there such a big change?"

This time it was Newland who spoke, his eyes sparkled brightly, as if he was very interested in this topic.

"It's very simple, because all the centaurs who really admired nature have been killed by wizards. The centaurs who are still alive are all descendants of deserters and traitors." Link said, "Especially these centaurs in the Forbidden Forest Dumbledore's preferential treatment over the years has given them a sense of superiority that they are the masters of the Forbidden Forest. They expel and hate the wizards who took them in in the name of protecting the balance of nature. At the same time, nature has already considered itself the master .Then they feel that they deserve to enjoy some good things.”

"They're asking for their own death."

Sceffen spoke slowly, with an extremely disappointed expression.

Link smiled and nodded upon seeing this.

He was very satisfied with the comprehension ability shown by Sceffen and Newland.

What the horsemen are doing now is indeed seeking their own death.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing a better life. This is human instinct. The fact that the horses can develop in this direction just proves that Dumbledore's subtle influence on them is successful.

If they can work in production with peace of mind, Link believes that Dumbledore will give them what they want sooner or later.

But unfortunately, they are too greedy.

Greedy enough to even try to rely on Link to participate in the upcoming Third Wizarding War, and obtain huge benefits and privileges from it, for example-to truly become the master of the Forbidden Forest.

This is undoubtedly seeking skin with a tiger!

Anyone who has read the history of magic will understand that wizards, or humans, are the most unreliable allies in the world.

Giants, dementors, goblins, house-elves, merfolk...

Every kind of intelligent creature that has ever cooperated with wizards is almost all trapped and almost wiped out, especially the so-called war alliance.

Wizards are simply using other allied races as cannon fodder.

The horsemen dared to take the initiative to cooperate with the wizard, this is simply courting death!

But this can't actually blame the horsemen.

After all, I said it before.

The ancestors of this group of horse people in the Forbidden Forest were originally deserters and traitors. Hundreds of years ago, they survived by cooperating with wizards, or being dogs for wizards.

If you haven't had a beating, you won't learn a lesson.

In addition, the wizards they have come into contact with over the years are either peaceful people like Dumbledore, or young wizards with little experience in the world, so naturally they don't realize the danger here.

What they didn't know was that Link had long regarded them as long-term workers and "colonial natives".

In the next few days, Link will use those cheap Muggle creations to continue to exploit the centaur village until the remaining value of the centaur is drained, and then decide whether to push the centaur into the battlefield according to his mood, as a cannon fodder.

But what caught him a little attention was the prophecy that the centaur prophet Hui Yi told him when they parted.

Horse people are natural astrologers.

Their thousands of years of star worship have led them to develop an extremely mysterious and efficient astrology. It is said that even the existing astrology of wizards largely refers to the knowledge of the centaurs.

Although in the final analysis this is still just metaphysics.

But at least it should be much better than the divination of that old liar, Trelawney.

Therefore, Link felt that this prophecy should have good reference value.

It's just... what does the magic star that Hui Yi mentioned really represent?

...

Link's question was answered two days later.

When the owls flew into the Hogwarts auditorium as usual in the early morning, and soon after they dropped copies of the "Daily Prophet" and various packages on the students' dining tables like bombs, there was a burst of noise in the auditorium. There was a burst of exclamation.

At first, Link only thought it was because some unlucky ones were hit on the head by the package.

But when he opened the "Daily Prophet", his face immediately became gloomy.

I saw the headline on the front page of the "Daily Prophet" clearly written in large and black fonts - "Multiple Prison Escapes in Azkaban-The Ministry of Magic Worries that Black Is the "Caller" of the Death Eaters".

Below the title, there are ten neatly arranged black and white photos.

The faces of nine wizards and a witch, some laughing silently, some haughtily tapping their fingers on the side of their photograph. Each photo has a name and the crime of being imprisoned in Azkaban.

Antonin Dolohov, a pale, twisted wizard, was sneering at Link for the murder of brothers Gideon and Fabian Prewett.

August Rookwood—a wizard with greasy hair than Snape, leaning against the wall of the photo with a look of lovelessness, was charged with revealing the secrets of the Ministry of Magic to the mysterious man.

...

The most striking of all the photos is undoubtedly the witch.

Her long black hair was disheveled in the photo, her eyes stared at Link from under thick lids, and a haughty, contemptuous smile played on her thin lips.

Bellatrix Lestrange - accused of torturing Frank and Alice Longbottom, leaving them permanently disabled.

Link had seen this portrait at 12 Grimmauld Place earlier.

As a former member of the Black family, she looks beautiful and proud in the portrait, like a rose with thorns.

But now, even though Bellatrix's face still had traces of the beauty of the past, they were just traces.

Under the torment of the dementors for more than ten years, all the beauty in her has faded away, leaving only madness.

Looking down along the photos, there is a written report on the incident in the Daily Prophet.

However, the credibility of these reports is not high, because the information was disclosed by the Ministry of Magic on its own initiative.

Fudge directly reveals that the escapees escaped last night, and expresses suspicion that they were inspired by the time of Sirius Black's escape.

He even hinted during the interview that the escape time was secretly planned by Sirius Black in order to save his fellow prisoners.

After reading the entire report, Link dropped the newspaper with a gloomy expression, not even interested in eating the breakfast in front of him.

He wasn't surprised that Fudge wanted to blame Sirius on his head, after all, Sirius was indeed a good candidate to take the blame in every respect.

What really made Link feel angry was that he had already warned Old Barty when Snape leaked the news to them, asking him to strengthen the vigilance of Azkaban, and if necessary, he could even directly clear all Dementors, send Aurors and Strikers in.

But what happened?

They are still jailbroken!

This made Link wonder if there was something wrong with Batty's mind during this time.

Maybe it's time to have a good chat with each other again!

Link narrowed his eyes slightly, and had already made a decision in his heart.

At the same time, the report in the "Daily Prophet" finally fermented in the auditorium.

The first is the professors on the faculty bench.

As if someone had pressed the pause button, they looked at the newspaper in front of them one by one, with serious expressions on their faces, but they remained motionless.

Sprout didn't even notice the mayonnaise dripping on his lap from the half-raised spoon.

Not to mention the long table for students below.

The other three academies are relatively calm. After all, they have experienced the Azkaban prison escape a few years ago, and to be honest, they don't have much real feeling.

But the side of the Gryffindor table exploded in no time.

After reading the newspaper, Neville screamed and hid under the long table, huddled into a ball while crying, and refused to come out despite the persuasion of other students.

The other Gryffindors were also full of concern.

They all knew that Neville's parents were victims of the Bellatrix incident.

To this day, those two poor people are still lying insane in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. Bellatrix's prolonged Cruciatus spell has completely destroyed their souls.

Cedric withdrew his gaze from Gryffindor with a complicated expression, looked down at the newspaper again, and then said to Link:

"Link, maybe you should look at this."

While talking, Cedric helped Link turn the pages of the newspaper.

I saw that just behind the report about Azkaban's prison escape, there was another report that was also enough to cause a sensation in a small space-"Ministry of Magic Staff Died Unexpectedly".

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries has announced a full investigation into the death of Ministry of Magic employee Broderick Bird.

Mr Bird, then 49, had been injured in a work accident a few weeks earlier and was hospitalized.

And just last night, the night watch nurse found him strangled to death on the hospital bed by a potted plant.

The therapist who was in charge of Mr. Bird's ward on the day of the accident, Meliam Straw, was suspended with pay. St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries stated that he will be further held accountable in the future, and at the same time expressed its deep condolences for Mr. Bird's death. sorry.

"We have strict rules about decorations in the ward, but therapist Straw ignored the dangers of Mr. Bird's bedside plants in the busy Christmas. With the recovery of Mr. Bird's speech and mobility, she Encouraged him to tend the plant himself, but failed to see that it was not a harmless crab claw orchid, but a devil's net. The convalescent Mr. Bird was strangled to death as soon as he touched it."

...

"This report is obviously nonsense," Cedric said softly. "Although the appearance of the devil vine and the crab claw orchid are similar, with the vivacity of the devil vine, no one will distinguish between these two plants! So this Definitely a murder!"

Link didn't speak, just looked at Cedric quietly.

Seeing this, Cedric didn't want to keep a secret anymore, he pursed his lips and continued directly:

"And I know this Mr. Bird, he is..."

"He's the Silent Man in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries!"

Before Cedric finished speaking, a familiar sharp voice sounded from the side.

Link and Cedric looked over after hearing the reputation, and saw Ron looking at the "Daily Prophet" with a look of horror, and Harry and Hermione were standing beside him.

Seeing them coming, Cedric shut his mouth immediately, with a not-so-obvious panic on his face.

Fortunately, Ron and others didn't notice anything strange, Harry frowned and asked:

"What is the Reticent Man?"

"You can understand it as the researchers of the Ministry of Magic. They usually only appear in the Department of Mysteries, and are responsible for researching various mysterious props contained in the Department of Mysteries, such as the time twister. Because they The work they do is usually extremely confidential, so they are called the silent people. It is intended to remind them to keep confidential."

Harry let out an 'oh' as ​​if suddenly enlightened, but when Link looked at Ron, he said again with a strange expression:

"What I'm more curious about is, Ron, how did you know this Mr. Bird? Logically speaking, your father, a clerk in the Department of Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Substances, has no access to these people at all."
