Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 613 Mr. Mission Accomplished
Harry pursed his lips when he heard that, and his friend spoke, but he stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the densely packed crowd moving about below, and finally made up his mind and walked down.

He thought very clearly, just as Death Cloak said, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now there is no room for him to turn back. All he can do is to move forward!
Looking at Mike's reaction, Death Cloak laughed strangely.

It seemed to be very familiar with this place and kept guiding Harry in the direction.

With its help, although there were many white-robed wizards walking around, Harry still arrived at the gate of a magnificent palace safely.

Compared to other palaces, there are far fewer people in front of this palace, but in terms of the level of danger, it is the most dangerous of all the palaces!

Because, standing in front of its door were no longer those white-robed people who were hurriedly carrying things, but six fully armed and extremely vigilant combat wizards!

The gate of the palace was open, but strangely, Harry could not see the scene inside at all. All he could see was darkness, which made the palace look like a monster with its mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap!

Harry had to stop and said softly with some fear:
"where is this place?"

"Prison, a prison for bad guys." Death Cloak said, "Go ahead with confidence. These guards are just for show. They won't be able to find you. Also, you don't have to worry about them using the same method they used last time to track you down. Now they are all focused on Mike Townley and can't care about you at all."

This time Harry didn't hesitate too much and walked straight towards the entrance after hearing the words.

Fortunately, the Death Cloak did not deceive Harry.

Under the protection of the Death Cloak, the guards standing at the door all ignored Harry, which allowed Harry to enter the palace easily.

Unlike the magnificent exterior, the interior of the palace was dark with only two oil lamps providing a faint light.

With the help of the firelight, Harry could even see the thick dust piled on the ground and the spiders crawling on the cracked walls.

The word "dilapidated" cannot be used to describe this place.

But Harry was not surprised by this. He even felt it was natural. After all, in his impression, this was what prison should be like.

Going straight ahead along the path illuminated by the oil lamp, Harry saw a staircase that went down diagonally. He continued walking down for a long time, feeling his way along the rock wall, before the light in front of Harry finally became bright.

However, this brightness is limited, because the source of the light is an old magic lamp. Judging from the dimness of the light, this magic lamp has been lighting for at least 30 years.

This magic lamp illuminates a broken stone tablet engraved with Latin.

Since a large number of spells are written in Latin, Harry has some knowledge of this language.

But it was obvious that Harry was not a serious student, and some of the words on the stone tablet had become very faint, so he could only read the text roughly.

Harry stepped forward and carefully read the words on it, only to find that it was actually a prayer.

The content is roughly about praising a god or saint named Uranus, and claiming that he and other believers have collected enough sacrifices and prayed for Uranus to bestow blessings again.

This prayer left Harry confused. In his limited reading, he had never seen a god or saint named Uranus.

After hearing the general meaning of Harry's translation, Death Cloak sighed twice and exclaimed:
'Humans are such greedy creatures!'

"Do you know what's going on?"

"Isn't it obvious?" said Death Cloak. "The wizards once obtained unimaginable benefits from the hands of Uranus through sacrifice, and then they tried to do it again with the same sacrifice."

Harry thought about it for a while and felt that what Death Cloak said made some sense, so he asked:

"What is this sacrifice they're talking about?"

Harry's expression looked a little grim when he said this. When he talked about sacrifices, he would think of the bloody scenes recorded in Muggle history.

Upon hearing this, Death Cloak laughed strangely and said:

"They should have hidden the offerings inside. You can find out if you go in and take a look."

After saying this, the Death Cloak returned to silence and refused to come out no matter how Harry called out.

Seeing this, Harry had no choice but to walk around the stone tablet and continue walking inside.

The space behind the stone tablet suddenly opened up, and there seemed to be a hole connecting this space to the outside, so the air quality improved a lot.

Although there was still a strange musty smell unique to old basements, it was much better than the earthy smell in the previous stairwell.

However, the light here was still dim. With the weak light, Harry could only see several rooms of varying sizes scattered throughout this huge space. These rooms had different shapes, but based on what the Death Cloak had said about the prison, Harry almost immediately regarded them as cells.

In the wide corridor outside the cells, there were several tall and thin figures walking slowly. Harry got a little closer and was surprised to find that these people looked exactly like the three old triplets who had appeared in the Masonic secret realm!
But unlike the three old men, the white robes worn by these people in front of him seemed to have not been washed and replaced for a long time. They looked gray and shabby. Moreover, their eyes were staring and dull, and their walking routes were always fixed and repetitive. It was as if they were all robots with set levels!
Harry carefully avoided the patrol route of the white-robed old men, came to the door of a spherical cell, and looked inside through a window on the surface.

The interior of the cell is also spherical and appears to be very smooth.

A dozen dark blue-skinned, small-eyed weirdos were crawling towards the door, but the wall was too smooth, and every time they reached the middle, they would slide to the bottom of the sphere again.

They even tried to use a human ladder to escape, but they were too few in number and could not escape even using this method.

While they were crawling, Harry keenly discovered that at the bottom of the spherical cell, there was a box with a large bright red button on it, which made it look like a detonator used for mine blasting.

The moment Harry saw the box, he immediately understood its identity - a mysterious object.

He looked back at the cells behind him and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

If he guessed correctly, those cells should all contain mysterious objects.

At the same time, he also understood the meaning of sacrifice.

It turned out that the sacrifice mentioned on the stone tablet was not the blood sacrifice he had imagined, but a mysterious object!
What kind of being would use a mysterious object as its own sacrifice?!
Harry was deeply shocked.

At this moment, the voice of the Death Cloak came through.

'Ah, Mr. Mission Accomplished, old friend.'

There was something nostalgic about the Deathcloak's voice, which brought Harry back to his senses.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to worry about why the Death Cloak knew the name of the mysterious object, because the blue monsters in the spherical cell had already discovered Harry and were staring at him with their small black eyes. "Brothers, am I seeing right? That's a human."

"Probably not, I saw it too!"

"Humanity!"

"Come on down! We're going to save the world!"

……

Hearing the voices of the blue monsters below, Harry's face changed. He glanced at the white-robed old men who were attracted by the voices, and instinctively hid in the shadows in the dark corner of the cell.

The old man in white robe obviously did not have the ability to break the invisibility. After searching for a while and finding nothing, he returned to his patrol route again.

Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked his question.

"Why do you know these guys? What are they?"

'I thought you could guess it, Harry. I've been imprisoned here before, so it's normal to know a few old acquaintances.' Death Cloak said, 'As for them, they are Mr. Mission Accomplished. Do you see that red button box? As long as you press the number of times, as many Mr. Mission Accomplished will appear. Then tell me your request, and Mr. Mission Accomplished will go to help you fulfill your wish.'

Harry frowned when he heard this. According to what the Death Cloak said, this seemed to be a wishing machine.

Shouldn't such a mysterious object be used as a tool by those white-robed people? Why was it locked up?

Deathcloak seemed to see Harry's confusion and continued:

Mr. Mission is not as good as you think. First of all, their ability is limited, and they cannot complete many tasks at all. Secondly, the way they complete the work is completely uncontrollable.

For example, if you ask him to help you get a cup, he might go get one from the living room, or he might go buy one, or even break into your neighbor's house and steal one.

They have different ways of getting the job done, which means they're likely to have very bad negative effects, you know?
Of course, there is also the worst case scenario.

As for why they are being held here now.

Can't you see this?

They are out of control!
Someone has given them a task that can never be completed!
The person who gave the task was already dead and couldn't complete the task, so they could only use various extreme methods to try to complete the task!'

Harry nodded as he thought about it. He basically understood it.

At this time, the calling sounds in the cell gradually died down. Harry listened curiously and heard the blue monsters inside still complaining softly.

"Damn it! I really want to kill him!"

"Save the world! How did that bastard come up with such a mission!?"

"I give up, you guys try your best."

……

Listening to the sounds underground, Harry lowered his head in deep thought.

He thought he might already know what the other party's mission was.

Saving the world, the person who proposed this task is really evil!
At the same time, he also understood why these guys were brought here. According to what Death Cloak said before, these guys would make many extreme attempts when they encountered tasks that could not be completed.

And it is very likely that some of them will have a very bad impact on the world.

Pursing his lips, Harry came up with an idea.

He took out the game console that Mike had given him from his pocket and threw it carefully into the cell through the window.

"Ah! Who is littering?"

Following a roar, Harry slowly poked his head out and said to the furious blue monsters below:
"Perhaps, I can help you complete the task."

The blue monsters were stunned. They looked at each other, all with confused expressions.

Harry then said:

"Did you see what I threw in there? It's a game console. It contains a game called Final Fantasy, and the plot is about saving the world. Maybe you can't save the real world in front of you, but at least you can save the game world."

Hearing this, the blue monsters began to look at the game console with burning gazes.

The Death Cloak let out strange cries of amazement!

……

At the same time, in the office of the Minister of Magic of Ying Kingdom, Mike was frowning at a document in front of him.

This is the document Penelope had just sent over, which describes a series of strange changes in the Ministries of Magic in other countries.

For example, they began to consciously accumulate troops around Ying Country, and also began to prohibit domestic companies from doing business with Ying Country's wizarding world companies...

These actions undoubtedly reminded Mike of a terrible fact - they were going to declare war on him!

Mike took a deep breath, stood up and looked out the window at the beautiful cloudless view.

He already knew that the International Magical Confederation would never let it go after being tricked by him, but he never expected that their revenge would come so quickly and so violently.

But will things really go as smoothly as they think?
The corners of Mike's mouth slowly rose up. Since the other party wanted to bite him whole and swallow him, he had to be prepared to lose a few teeth!
Mike, as the most powerful legendary wizard of this generation, is no pushover!
As he thought about this, Mike suddenly turned around, looked at Penelope and said:
"Notify all departments to start making full preparations for war! At the same time, have the International Affairs Cooperation Department warn those Ministries of Magic that intend to harm us, and let them know what will happen if they don't cooperate with us! Then notify the Daily Prophet and other media outlets, and have them fully cooperate with us in building momentum and controlling public opinion in the near future!"

Mike's words were so decisive that Penelope, who was originally worried, regained some spirits.

She stared at Mike's tall figure, and after a moment's pause, she said firmly:
"Yes!"
