Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 610 Intelligence
The final charge by the polite old man and the grumpy old man did not change anything.

The raging flames came down like a huge wave, directly blowing the entire laboratory to pieces.

Victor, who was carrying Arthur not far from the laboratory, looked back at the huge mushroom cloud rising behind him, and his heart, which was completely constructed of machinery and magic, felt a sharp pain.

That was the laboratory he had spent many years carefully building. He had originally planned to hold back a little when Arthur and Mike were fighting so that he could continue to use it.

But now it seems that he has no choice but to rebuild a laboratory.

On the other side, Harry, who had already escaped, was also staring at the mushroom cloud.

His expression was dull, his whole body was trembling slightly, and he muttered to himself:

"With such terrifying power, can I... really steal the Deathly Hallows from him?"

'Don't be afraid. After this, the mysterious people who are chasing you will become enemies with Mike. Our plan is going well, isn't it?'

Hearing this, Harry's confused eyes became firm again, but his body was still shaking. This had nothing to do with his will. It was completely an instinctive reaction of a low-level creature encountering the power of a superior.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said:

"That's right! Our plan is going well! I can do it!"

After saying that, Harry stared at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky again, then turned quickly and disappeared into the shadow of a building nearby.

At the same time, in the sea of ​​fire at the former site of Victor's laboratory, Mike was walking slowly forward surrounded by flames.

In front of him were the intact bodies of the three old men in white robes.

This is the terrifying thing about the legendary wizard. Those raging flames are like a docile puppy in Mike's hands. It will bite whoever Mike tells it to bite. If Mike doesn't let it bite, it will not bite no matter what.

Those three bodies are irrefutable evidence.

Even with such a powerful attack, Mike was able to control it and leave the opponent's body intact.

The reason why he did this was that he wanted to use their corpses to find out information about the International Magical Confederation.

This is quite important.

Because Mike has always been hostile to the International Magical Confederation.

They are so mysterious!
Whatever the reason, it's always good to get their intelligence.

Nodding, Mike snapped his fingers.

The blazing flames around received the command and began to frantically drill into Mike's body. After a while, the huge mushroom cloud disappeared. What was left was only a mess of laboratory ruins and semi-crystalline metal melt flowing freely on the ground.

Then Mike picked up the three bodies and flew towards the infirmary where Soraka was.

When he arrived at the infirmary, Arthur had already been pushed into the operating room for treatment by Soraka and the others. Outside the corridor, only Victor was sitting there with a sad face.

Mike ignored him at first, but handed the three bodies to Soraka's free assistants.

Retrieving and preserving corpses is something that only Soraka and her peers, who have mastered both wizard and Muggle medicine, are experts in. Mike imagined that they would never let him down in this regard.

At this time, Victor, who was sitting next to him, also came over, stood there silently looking at Mike, with a flattering smile on his face.

When Mike saw this face, he instinctively frowned.

What the other party had done in the past had caused him a lot of trouble, which resulted in him being unable to laugh when he saw the other party now.

As for what Victor is asking for standing here.

Mike actually had an idea of ​​this.

In principle, this is not a good thing to do. After all, Harry hasn't been found yet. If Victor is allowed to continue his activities, Black and the others will definitely be in chaos.

But Victor's performance this time was particularly outstanding. He directly proved his loyalty to the Freemasons and his lack of interest in collecting the Deathly Hallows with his actions.

Of course, another important reason is that Mike is now collecting and studying mysterious objects.

Victor is the real top talent in this job. I believe that with him, the research progress of the mysterious objects will have a rapid leap.

Thinking of this, Mike nodded and said to Victor unhappily:

"This will never happen again!"

"Hey! Okay!"

Victor was so excited after receiving a satisfactory reply that he almost jumped up, and the disgusting flattery on his face turned into a sincere smile.

Along the way, he heard from Arthur that the Freemasons were now conducting research on mysterious objects and had collected some samples.

If Mike really let him continue to sleep, causing him to miss relevant research, it would be more painful than killing him.

After explaining everything about Victor, Mike went to the ward where Hermione and Ron were.

Since they were rescued in advance, they had already undergone physical examinations.

According to the nurses who were looking after them, apart from some mental shock, they did not suffer any serious physical injuries and could be discharged from the hospital at any time.

But when Mike actually appeared in front of the two of them, he realized that the nurse seemed to have exaggerated the situation.

Because at this moment, the two of them were lying on the bed with dull faces and unfocused eyes, like two puppets.

Only when Mike appeared did their eyes brighten a little, and their pupils gradually solidified.

"Mike!"

Ron's crying voice reached Mike's ears.

His shout was like a switch, and tears flowed from his and Hermione's eyes like a dam breaking.

What happened today was simply a nightmare for them.

The murderous Los Santos wizard, the strange Victor, the sudden mysterious enemy...

Everything was hitting their nerves, but what really made them collapse was Harry.

At such a critical moment, Harry actually abandoned them and ran away alone!
This betrayal devastated Ron and Hermione.

Mike sighed, sat down beside Hermione's bed, hugged her and comforted her in a low voice. As for Ron, although he also wanted to ask Mike for a hug and comfort, it was obvious that Mike would not do that. That was too disgusting.

It took a long time for Hermione to stop crying, Mike let go of her hand, and Hermione crawled out of Mike's arms in time.

But her little face was red, as beautiful as a ripe apple.

McDaw glanced at her and then asked:

"What's going on with you guys today?"

"It was Harry! I met Harry at Hogwarts, and he told us..."

Ron, who had been ignored, couldn't wait to take over Mike's conversation and explained how they met Harry and how they infiltrated the Masonic secret realm and their purpose.

Hearing this, Hermione pursed her lips and looked angry, as if she was dissatisfied with Ron stealing her lines.

Mike lowered his head and remained silent. What Ron said overlapped with what Victor said, which just proved that Harry's target was him.

Or to be more precise, it was the Resurrection Stone and Elder Wand in his hands.

This surprised Mike a little.

After all, with Harry's brain and ability as well as their friendship, he would never think of or dare to take advantage of Mike.

Then the truth of the matter is simple.

There must be a mysterious person or thing behind Harry, a mysterious force secretly manipulating all this.

Poor Harry, being taken advantage of once again.

Thinking of this, Mike finally raised his head and said to Hermione and Ron:
"I already know the situation. The doctor said your condition is not serious and you will be discharged from the hospital soon. You should rest well first."

After saying that, Mike stood up and prepared to leave.

However, Hermione grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Mike looked back and saw Hermione lowering her face with a blushing face, not daring to look at Mike, and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"Can...can you not leave?"

Mike was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said:

"Wait for me five minutes, I'll be back soon."

"Okay... okay."

Hermione let go of her hand pitifully, looking a little lost, while Ron beside her had a strange expression.

Mike ignored them and walked out of the ward.

Franklin had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Mike appear, he immediately came up and winked:
"I deliberately didn't let Penelope come over. I found an excuse for her to go deal with the Los Santos Corporation. So, did I do a good job?"

The expression on Mike's face twitched a little, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his hand patted Franklin's back heavily.

The two looked at each other and laughed strangely at the same time.

After laughing for a while, Mike finally put on a serious expression and said:
"Franklin, there are a few important things you need to do. First, completely seal off the Masonic secret realm and arrange all personnel to search the secret realm. Harry hasn't left here yet, and we have to find him!
Second, you go and inform Black of Harry's presence in our place, but do not allow him to come in and look for him himself."

Mike paused after saying this. He could almost imagine Blake's fury when he knew the news.

But there was nothing he could do about it. The Masonic Secret Realm was his base camp. There were too many secrets hidden here, and he would never let someone like Blake in.

Franklin was also stunned when he heard this.

Like Mike, he could imagine Blake's reaction.

Honestly, that's pretty scary.

But soon his expression returned to normal. After all, just as Mike could pass this tough task to him, he could naturally pass it to the people below.

As for how the people below are dealt with, it is none of his business; he just wants the result.

That's the benefit of rights.

Seeing Franklin agreed with a smile, Mike turned and walked into the ward.

But just as his hand touched the door handle, he pulled it back as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Franklin, find Penelope something else to do."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry."

Franklin waved, leaving Mike with only a dashing back.

……

After spending a whole afternoon with Hermione, Mike finally walked out of the ward.

At this time, the body search report on the three old men in white robes finally came out.

There was nothing special about their bodies themselves, they were just ordinary human corpses.

What matters is the memory in their heads.

Through the master-level Legilimency spell and the miraculous cooperation of Victor and Soraka, Benjamin and his team finally extracted some information about the International Magical Confederation from the three corpses.

The most important of these is of course the address of the International Confederation of Magic.

On the surface, the headquarters of the International Confederation of Magic is located on an uninhabited island in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and the only way to enter it is with a special portkey.

However, in reality, their base camp, like Mike's Freemasonry, was located in a secret place called the Holy Mountain.

As the name suggests, there is only one towering mountain in the Holy Mountain Secret Realm. The various organizations of the International Magic Confederation are not located on the mountain, and the most important department is located on the top of the mountain.

Unlike the eternal night in the Masonic secret realm, the sky in the Holy Mountain Secret Realm is always bright and blue, without even a trace of clouds.

But Benjamin and his team did not obtain any useful information on how to enter the secret realm of the Holy Mountain.

According to what they said, the memory of the three old men seemed to have been tampered with and could not be detected at all.

In addition to the secret realm of the Holy Mountain, the most information they obtained was about the mysterious objects within the International Magic Federation.

Among them, the mysterious object that impressed everyone the most was the 'Holy Light Protection'.

It was an azalea brooch made of pure gold. When the wearer was about to suffer a fatal attack, it would automatically unfold a layer of golden shield.

According to testing, this shield will last for about two minutes, and the cooling time for release is twenty-four hours.

No means currently used within the International Magical Confederation can destroy this shield, so it is also called the Invincible Shield.

As for its origin and other information, the three people had no record of it in their minds.

There are many other mysterious objects besides these.

For example, replica cabinets.

This is a dark brown cabinet that looks like an ordinary wooden cabinet, but its function is to replicate the items placed in it.

According to testing, this cabinet can replicate almost anything in this world, including mysterious objects.

However, the effects of the mysterious objects copied by it will be greatly reduced.

The secondary holy light protection used by the three old men and the white-robed wizards at the beginning was exactly copied by the copy cabinet.

Another limitation is that when copying overly sophisticated objects (such as sophisticated Muggle machinery) and objects with extraordinary properties, the time required becomes terrifying.

Taking Holy Light Blessing as an example, it takes a full year to copy each replica of the cabinet, and if the door is opened in the middle of the process, the process will be interrupted, the accumulated time will be reset, and it will need to start over.

Its origin is also unknown. It is currently placed in the Holy Relic Hall on the top of the Holy Mountain together with the "Holy Light Protection" to continuously produce secondary Holy Light Protection.
