Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 335 Fire Dragon Brother
"Hoorao!"

A shrill dragon roar echoed in the underground space. Under the attack of this terrifying sound wave, almost everyone present instinctively covered their ears.

Immediately afterwards, Mike and the others felt a huge black shadow passing by them, followed by a violent airflow that stirred Mike and the others toppling over.

"Dragon! Fire dragon!"

Zhou Hong raised his head, pointed his finger at the sky and shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a huge fire dragon with mottled colors on its body flying straight up towards the golden light.

The fire dragon had received many injuries in the previous battle. Large amounts of scarlet blood dripped from its wounds, mixing with the floating dust reflected by the bright golden light in mid-air and falling to the ground, forming large pieces of black turbid blood.

But despite being so seriously injured, there was no sign of pain on the fire dragon's face. On the contrary, Mike even felt endless joy from the fire dragon flying towards the sunshine!

Mike was definitely not the only one who had this feeling. In fact, almost all the Aurors in the underground space stopped attacking at this time. Everyone was silently watching the fire dragon flying towards freedom.

"What are you all doing? Quickly take down that fire dragon!"

An untimely voice suddenly appeared in the underground space. When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they saw that the lion man had caught up with them with the Aurors.

What Mike didn't know was that this middle-aged man who looked like an old lion was the current director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour!

Scrimgeour had a ferocious look on his face at this moment. Today was an unlucky day for him.

When he first brought the Aurors to Gringotts, he thought it was just an ordinary robbery and the perpetrators should be ordinary dark wizards who would be completely crushed by their elite Auror troops.

However, the fighting power and ferocity of Mike and others far exceeded his imagination.

How dare they use the Fiery Curse in a place like this! ?

Don’t they know that Diagon Alley is outside Gringotts?

If the Fiendfyre gets out of control and burns to Diagon Alley, thousands of people will die!

Thinking of this, Scrimgeour's expression became even more ferocious.

When facing such terrorists, one must act as swiftly as thunder!
The Aurors were terrified when they saw this. They looked like primary school students who were caught sleeping in class. They hurriedly waved their wands and started attacking the fire dragon in the sky.

Compared to the nimble and tiny Mike and the others, the fire dragon was obviously a good target. The Aurors worked together, and a series of unknown red spells rose into the air, and soon many new wounds were added to the fire dragon's body.

"Hoorao!"

The fire dragon staggered in mid-air and its flying speed slowed down a lot.

However, it had no intention of stopping and continued to fly towards the beam of light.

"team leader!"

Zhou Hong shouted anxiously, and it was obvious that he liked this fire dragon that yearned for freedom very much.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mike, waiting for his next order.

"Everyone, listen up, let's catch up!" Mike pointed in the direction of the fire dragon and said expressionlessly, "Remember, use Z-shaped maneuvers, and don't get shot down!"

"understand!"

Everyone said in unison, and then, under the influence of the fire crossbows, everyone turned into a shadow and flew towards the fire dragon!

The Aurors below were still firing dense barrages upwards, but Mike and the others were very cunning. They not only used Z-shaped maneuvers to avoid most of the spells, but also used the few gaps to help the fire dragon resist damage.

Scrimgeour was so anxious that he was about to jump up and down.

This time he mobilized a large number of elite Aurors. If they still cannot catch Mike and other robbers, the combat effectiveness of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will inevitably be doubted by the public.

If that were all, it would be fine, but once he was suspected by the public, not only would he as the office director be forced to step down, but the budget for the Auror Force might also be cut next year!
At this moment, he sincerely hoped that his subordinates could have some luck and shoot down one of the robbers in the sky.

In this way, I can get information about these robbers from that person!
Unfortunately, God did not respond to Scrimgeour's prayers. Even when the dragon, Mike and others approached the hole, the Aurors did not shoot down anything.

"Chase him! Get on your brooms and chase him!"

Scrimgeour roared with his face flushed, but the guards beside him looked embarrassed and said:
"Sir, those robbers are riding Firebolts, we can't chase them..."

The guard who was speaking suddenly froze. What appeared before his eyes was a pair of terrifying, bloodshot eyes. The madness in those eyes made the guard tremble instinctively.

Then, the guard suddenly had an idea and took out his flying broom and chased after Mike and the others. While chasing, he was still yelling to get his companions to move as well.

“Swish, swish!~”

Looking at the Aurors rising into the air around him, Scrimgeour's face was already filled with gloom.

How could he not know that the standard Auror special flying broom could never catch up with the championship-level custom-made broom like the Firebolt?

But if you don’t pursue her, then it’s a problem of attitude!
With a sigh, Scrimgeour limped away into the darkness.

Now that it is a foregone conclusion that Mike and the other robbers have escaped, he needs to go back and discuss the aftermath with Fudge.

At the same time, Diagon Alley outside Gringotts was a scene of prosperity and dance.

It is summer vacation and the streets are crowded with people coming and going, most of them are parents who bring their children shopping.

The merchants are also constantly shouting, hoping to attract pedestrians on the street.

A young mother was chatting with her best friend, but her young son kept pulling at her skirt.

"Mom! Look, it's a fire dragon!"

The child put his fingers in his mouth, tilted his head back, and spoke incoherently.

His mother was delighted when she heard this, and said with her head down:
"How is this possible? This is Diagon Alley. There won't be any dragons in Diagon Alley. Be good, and in two days, mom will take you to the Dragon Farm to see dragons, okay?"

"But, Mom, there really is a fire dragon in the sky!"

The child's mother now felt that something was not right. She looked up instinctively and saw thick smoke coming out of the roof of Gringotts not far away. At the same time, a fire dragon was struggling to pull at the bricks and stones on the roof, trying to use the force to squeeze out of the narrow hole.

"Hoorao!"

A loud dragon roar accompanied by scarlet flames came out of the dragon's mouth and echoed in the sky above Diagon Alley. Along with the dragon roar, the shopping bag held by the child's mother fell to the ground with a "click", but its owner still kept looking up in a daze, not noticing anything at all.

"Ah! Run quickly!"

Suddenly, not just one person shouted, but everyone in Diagon Alley became excited.

Except for a few idiots who were still curiously looking at the fire dragon in the sky, most people were rushing to the fireplace nearest to them. The noise and crying mixed together, making it very lively.

At this time, Mike and others also followed the fire dragon and escaped from Gringotts.

"Wow! This is so cool!"

Facing the slightly sultry wind of July, Franklin, riding on the Firebolt, spread his arms and cheered.

The other team members around them also had smiles on their faces. Everyone was happy that the plan could go smoothly, even the cold-hearted Victor was no exception.

But at this moment, Mike said coldly:
"Don't be happy too soon, they are catching up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale green curse whistled past Franklin's head.

Franklin was startled by the sudden attack. He shrank his body sharply and raised his hips, trying his best to stick to the broom. He no longer dared to cheer like he had just now.

It cannot be blamed on Franklin being timid, because the pale green spell just now was actually the Killing Curse!
"They actually started using the killing curse! What should we do now?"

Looking at the Auror who suddenly appeared behind everyone, Franklin shouted with some fear. The killing curse just now almost took his life.

"Don't worry, our brooms are all Firebolts, they can't catch up!" Mike said coldly, "Besides, can't you fight back?"

After saying that, Mike took the first step and silently shot three sharp shadowless spells towards the Aurors behind him.

Seeing this, everyone took action, and in a flash an air battle between wizards broke out.

However, this kind of battle is actually quite boring. Relying on flying brooms, the movement speed and maneuverability of both sides are too strong. It is extremely difficult to rely on spells to hit the target in such an environment.

On Mike's side, only Mike, the sharpshooter, can pose some threat to the Aurors behind him. Once Benjamin and the others' spells leave their wands, no one knows where they will fly to, let alone hit the target.

And in the battle with the Aurors, Mike also vaguely understood why wizards were so keen on Quidditch.

It turns out that the Quidditch match itself is a cover-up. Those guys in the Ministry of Magic are using Quidditch to train the young wizards in flying skills!
Take the group of Aurors chasing after them for example, in terms of flying skills alone, these people are no worse than some professional Quidditch players!
Unfortunately, as time went by, the distance between Mike and the Aurors who followed the fire dragon was slowly widening. Franklin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and his originally curled up body gradually stretched out.

"Captain, we are out of the restricted area and can use the portkey!"

Benjamin's voice made everyone happy, but Zhou Hong frowned.

"Okay, then let's go back quickly. Hopefully we can still make it in time for lunch!"

A smile finally appeared on Mike's cold face, and he took out the Masonic gold coin.

"and many more!"

Zhou Hong's anxious voice made Mike pause. He frowned and turned to look, only to see Zhou Hong pointing at the old fire dragon in front and saying:
"What will happen to it if we leave? Those Aurors will definitely kill it!"

Looking at Zhou Hong's anxious expression, Mike knew what he was thinking.

Mike curled his lips and said:
"You can take it back, but you have to raise it yourself!"

After that, Mike and the others pressed the gold coins in their hands and disappeared into the air with a loud bang.

A smile also appeared on Zhou Hong's face. He controlled the fire crossbow and dropped it on the fire dragon's back. He raised his middle finger to the Aurors who were still chasing him, and then pressed the gold coin in his hand!
……

In the spell training square of the Masonic Secret Realm, Penelope, Soraka and others were waiting anxiously.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the space in the center of the square, and then the ripple expanded at an alarming speed. Finally, accompanied by a loud bang, Mike and others finally returned to the secret realm of Freemasonry.

"Mike!"

Penelope wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and threw herself into Mike's arms.

Looking again, the scene was similar for Franklin and Benjamin.

However, Mike had no intention of continuing to linger with Penelope. He hugged Penelope and quickly moved to the side, saying:
"Spread out!"

Benjamin and others were stunned when they heard this, and didn't understand why Mike was so excited.

But today's experience in Gringotts had developed a conditioned reflex in them, and they instinctively followed Mike's orders and dodged.

The next moment, accompanied by a particularly loud sound of space explosion, a fire dragon more than 20 meters tall appeared out of thin air in the square.

The fire dragon was obviously confused about being suddenly teleported here. He shook his head and looked around with his severely degraded eyes covered with a layer of white film.

Finally, when it found itself in a completely enclosed square, it became angry.

"Hoorao!"

With a desperate wail, the gigantic fire dragon flapped its wings and opened its mouth to spit fire.

Unfortunately, before it could launch an attack, Mike and the others had already reacted, and powerful sleeping spells fell on it like raindrops.

This is a common method used by dragon trainers to deal with fire dragons. Although the fire dragon in front of him was huge, it could not withstand such an attack. After struggling for a while, it fell to the ground and began to snore.

"Why is it here!?"

Benjamin held his head in shock. Mike said to Zhou Hong:
"Your dragon, take care of it yourself."

Hearing this, Zhou Hong scratched his head embarrassedly and stuck out his tongue.

Mike walked towards the corner of the square without looking back, where there was a magic circle engraved with the spell of the End of All Curses.

This magic circle was prepared by Mike long ago, specifically for purifying the treasures brought out from Bella's vault.

Everyone put the treasures they brought out from Bella's vault into the magic circle. After a while, a small hill of treasures was piled up in the circle.

However, at this moment, everyone's attention was not on this crazy gold mountain. Instead, the slightly dull gold cup in Mike's hand attracted everyone's attention!
