Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 357 Voldemort: You are seeking death!
Fudge was secretly happy here, thinking about how to put the shit pot firmly on Dumbledore's head. It would be best if he could weld it directly so that no one could take it off.

A principal from another country died, one was disabled, and a professor of our own was missing, with no one seeing him alive or dead... You were the only one at the scene, and then you said it was Voldemort who did it!
Okay, where's the evidence?
How do you prove that a person who has been dead for more than ten years suddenly appeared in Hogwarts, which has a high level of defense, and then caused one death, one disability and one disappearance right under your nose?
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, please give me an explanation!

Fudge even laughed out loud with joy, and while laughing he took a pen and paper and began to write his own article, determined to see the "truth" about the whole case in tomorrow's Daily Prophet.

At this moment, his not-so-smart subordinate suddenly broke in again, this time without even knocking on the door, and shouted in a panic, "Minister, something bad has happened!"

Fudge: I'm fine as fuck! I'm very happy!
All the good inspiration was scared away by you. Fudge immediately threw his pen and was about to scold, but the subordinate opened his mouth and said, "Minister, it's bad, something big has happened..."

Just about an hour ago, a skinny wizard - the Death Eater who faked his death and escaped but was subdued by Voldemort again with the Dark Mark.

He brought a group of wizards and witches who looked ugly and did not look like good people, sitting in a wooden boat without sails or oars, and drifted silently towards the North Sea under the guidance of a faint blue ship light.

Although the wooden boat looked simple and slow, it actually sailed as smoothly as on flat ground without any bumps at all in the stormy night in the North Sea.

This is a magic ship, and there is a magic lamp hanging on the bow.

Ten minutes later, the wooden boat passed through the thick white fog and vaguely saw a shadowy island on the sea in the distance.

Here they are, this is their destination - Azkaban!
Several hundred years ago, people suddenly discovered that there was an island on the icy North Sea, where ships often disappeared.

Later, we learned that the place was occupied by a dark wizard who captured sailors passing by and used them for experiments.

The island was not discovered until the dark wizard died of old age and his magic lost its effect.

The wizards also found the results of the dark wizard's research on the island - Dementors.

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be a simple transformation of wronged souls, but rather a monster summoned from an unknown space using sacrifices.

After the Ministry of Magic was established, a prison was built here, and Dementors, which could not be effectively eliminated by conventional means, were used as prison guards.

And those prisoners are the dementors' food.

They feed on people's positive emotions.

Once the prisoners have been locked up for a period of time and have been heavily addicted, they will lose all their faith, good feelings and thoughts. The darkest and most terrible memories will keep reappearing in their minds. Some have gone crazy, and some have died in despair...

However, not only those serious criminals serving life sentences for heinous crimes are imprisoned here, but also some lighter ones.

For example, smuggling, fraud, and financial crime - 80% of these criminals are graduates of Ravenclaw, and most of them are arrested by Ravenclaw graduates.

These wizards usually stay in hiding for a few months to a few years, and as long as they have a strong will, they will not die.

And for those with minor crimes, the Dementors only suck them once a day.

Although saying it once is enough for them to never forget, at least they won't go crazy.

I hope that after being drugged for a few months, they will be able to change their ways and abide by the law from now on.

Just half a month ago, a wizard who failed in fraud and became angry and used magic to hurt people was sent to the island and locked up.

No one knew that he was actually a chess piece, a beacon.

The location of Azkaban is protected by magic, and there is thick fog covering dozens of miles on the sea, making it impossible to reach by conventional means.

However, for the British wizarding world, prison breaks have never happened before, so these measures are actually just precautions, and they will naturally become lax over the years.

The beacon that was sent in deliberately for committing a crime actually marked the location of Azkaban.

Now, the skeleton-like Death Eater is quietly landing on the island with his "recruited" helpers.

There were only two wizards guarding the island, and a few house-elves were responsible for cooking.

The reason why there are so few people is that the real jailers here are Dementors.

After all, it's a remote place with Dementors as neighbors, which is like exile. If it weren't for the weekly rotation, who would do this job!
However, Ted's previous guess was correct.

Voldemort had studied Dementors and had a special method for dealing with them.

That is why those diehard Death Eaters imprisoned in the deepest part of Azkaban were not driven crazy during these more than ten years in prison.

You know, it's nothing unusual for the entire prison to last for more than ten years. In the original book, there was only Sirius.

He used his Animagus to transform into a dog. Dementors cannot sense the joy of dogs, nor can they absorb the positive emotions and happiness of dogs. So he is fine and survived!

And how did the other Death Eaters imprisoned here survive?
Although they all looked crazy, like Bella, they were not really crazy.

It is precisely because of Voldemort's method, using extreme loyalty, that he can fight against the Dementors' absorption of positive emotions.

A special kind of magic - it's like constantly hypnotizing one's own will.

And now, the Skeleton Death Eaters also used Voldemort's new research method to directly force back the Dementors.

The two guards were directly killed by a group of dark wizards. Since they were attacked in small numbers, they offered almost no resistance and both were killed in thirty seconds.

Azkaban's heavy protective magic was shattered in just five minutes after being attacked by the spells of more than a dozen dark wizards.

A large number of prisoners were released, including the Death Eaters!
……

"What did you say?"

I say, that’s a great idea, Mr. President!

"I said... Azkaban was invaded and the prisoners escaped!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could the Dementors allow someone to break out of the prison?"

When Fudge heard his subordinate's words, he jumped high and the hair on his head stood up.

When the foreign headmaster died at Hogwarts, Dumbledore naturally had to bear the greatest responsibility.

Azkaban was breached and dozens of criminals escaped, so I am the one who bears the greatest responsibility!

I didn’t expect that I would have to revise the manuscript when I had only written half of it?
At this time, except for a few people in the Ministry of Magic, no one knew that Azkaban had been broken into in the distant North Sea.

And on the seaside cliffs dozens of kilometers east of London, an old friend from decades ago returned.

Voldemort came to the secret base he had created after slaughtering an entire village.

One of his Horcruxes is hidden here, a Horcrux made from Slytherin's locket.

When he first discovered the relic of his ancestor in Borgin and Burke's shop, he could still feel the excitement, the trembling, the feeling that destiny had come and that fate had arranged it.

Thinking of that feeling, this extremely slowly beating black magic heart seemed to have a little more vitality.

Now, he had to collect the scattered Horcruxes again.

Maybe I took the wrong path in the beginning, and now I have a new path. First of all, I need to ensure the integrity of my soul.

However, when he turned into a wisp of black smoke and floated across the dark water, his heart suddenly twitched: Where are my corpses!

In order to protect this Horcrux, he created more than a hundred mutant corpses, but now all of them are missing!
He suddenly had a bad feeling and dodged onto the rocks at the end of the water.

In the stone basin, within a pool of potion, was a small and exquisite locket.

I hope, I hope nothing happens.

He took out a bottle of sticky black liquid from his arms, dripped it into the stone basin, and then began to cast a spell.

Ten or so seconds later, the magic potion in the stone basin began to evaporate, turning into a ball of light blue smoke, which tangled into a ghost face in the air and roared silently.

But Voldemort dispelled it with a wave of his hand - it was nothing more than the dying agony of a group of Muggles.

However, when he picked up the locket with a smile, he felt something was wrong. Although it was very similar, very similar, but this feel, this sensation, this was not the locket left by his ancestor Slytherin!

This is fake!

Voldemort quickly opened the locket, and inside was a note:
Shameful thief,

No matter who you are, you have created such a good show. Now the things have been returned to their owners!

Cherish my kindness. If I were to meet you, you wouldn’t be so easy to talk to.

—Your honorable Caractacus Bok.

Damn it! Damn it!
Voldemort cast a spell silently, and an illusory picture emerged in the air from the locket.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a projector.

Voldemort is using magic to track down what happened around this thing.

The picture shows a rather old and wretched wizard stuffing the note into the locket with a wretched smile on his face...

This wretched wizard is Caractacus Burke, the current owner of Borgin and Burke's.

Ansu squatted opposite his store for three days, collecting his every move, providing data to Ted, creating such an illusory picture in the utopia, and then injected it into the note he prepared.

When Ted took out the note, he cast a spell the whole time and didn't touch it at all. He was worried that it would be contaminated by the scent or magic and be tracked by Voldemort.

Now, the "culprit" has been found, it's Caractacus Bock!

Caractacus Burke? Old Burke's son?!
You chose the wrong target! Damn you!
Voldemort was so furious that he crushed the fake pendant in his hand. He turned into black smoke and rushed out of the cave, flying towards Knockturn Alley in London.

……

It was already late at night, and after Ted and Hermione kissed each other goodnight, they went back to their dormitories to rest.

I have to see off the exchange students and representative teams tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early.

Hermione must be relieved that Fleur and the others had left.

At this time, Ted was lying on the bed and began to sort out the last wave of mission results.

After accumulating again and again, the reward for the last mission is already of purple quality.

"Ding~ Completed the mission: [Top Seven Tournament 30000: Endless Tower (Red)], obtained: experience points, card [Top Seven Trial (Purple)]."

"Ding~ Complete the achievement [Seven Powerful Hegemony, I'm the best!] and obtain: Legend 1, 800 reputation in the magic world, and 2000 reputation points in the magic world of Great Britain."

Legend degree: People can't help but pay attention to and respect you - many people who would never have had any contact with you have also vaguely heard of your glorious deeds.

What do you mean?
Ted didn't quite understand what the legend was for, but he knew about reputation, and he had already turned on the reputation module.

prestige:

Magical Community (Respected): 850 points - +50 points for the previous Paris incident.

Wizarding World of Great Britain (Revered): 2450 points.

This live broadcast of the top seven competition will have a much greater impact than any previous world-class event.

At its peak, there were 12 wizards watching the game at the same time, and they were able to post messages in the forums and comment in the live broadcast room, deeply participating in this event. That feeling was completely different.

Not only did Ted gain great fame, being recognized by almost one-tenth of the wizards in the world, but other warriors also received considerable attention, especially the support of various countries for their own warriors.

Ted is now a respected figure in the entire wizarding world. He can be said to be the number one young wizard!
Wow~ To be honest, it feels pretty good!
It’s probably similar to those world-class sports stars + world-class movie stars and singers.

One tenth of the wizards in the world have seen you in person, and have witnessed your power, calmness, and humor...

Oh, and someone posted a video of Ted singing on the forum, and it’s already received 300,000 hits!

There are also black people carrying coffins... It feels like the ghost culture may sprout at any time.

Ted took a deep breath and calmed himself.

"It's just a little fame. Reality is king. Calm down! Just look at my cards!"

The series of tasks in the Top Seven Tournament accumulate reward levels, and the last level has already rewarded a purple card.

[Trial of the Seven Strongest (Purple)]

Spell Cards

Use: Let the target enter a seven-level trial. Each completed level will gain a huge amount of experience.

Times of use: 3/3.
Note: If you fail, you won't be able to continue to the next level. So come on~
This card...is actually a means of gaining experience!

And the system said it was a massive amount, so it must be a lot, right?

But it's still a bit difficult to read the information in the notes, right?
It can be used three times in total, so how much experience does that require?
Ted thought about it and decided not to use it immediately. He should rest and have a good sleep.

This top seven competition was really busy for me, and then senior Tom came out to cause trouble.

I need to take a thorough rest and be well prepared before taking on this seven-strong trial, and I must not waste any levels.

……

The next day, Furong, Krum and other exchange students and warriors from other schools were about to leave.

The breakfast seemed a little silent. Many little wizards had red eyes and gathered together saying things like "I will always remember you", "I will go to see you during the holidays", "I only love you", "I will marry you after graduation", "Don't forget to write to me" and so on.

I just hope they are all pure love gods of war...

However, it was a different story when a sky full of owls flew into the auditorium - there were exclamations of surprise!
Ansu grabbed a rolled up newspaper and dropped it on Ted's desk.

It threw the newspaper on the table and shouted, "Look, there's a lot of interesting things happening, quack!" Then it pecked at a meat pie and swallowed it directly.

This guy really has a big mouth and eats everything!

Ted opened the newspaper, the Daily Prophet, and read the front-page table of contents.

Front page headline: "A murder occurred at Hogwarts, one dead, one injured, and one missing. What is the truth?"

In a dynamic photo, four people were carrying the dead Karkaroff, and there was an old black monkey with a broken arm being supported by someone on the side.

With a "Duang~" sound, Krum slammed the newspaper hard on the dining table, knocking over the milk on the side.

The dean of his family died suddenly, and his death was mysterious.

Now it’s all in the newspapers!

Now, who can make the decision for these students of Durmstrang? Who can give us an explanation? !

Participate in a competition and destroy the principal.It’s really not easy to accept.

Ted glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued reading - the second edition, "Azkaban is suspected of a large-scale escape, the Dementors are rebelling!"

what? !

I'm Cao, what's going on?
The third version of the result is: "The Borgin and Burkes store in Knockturn Alley is completely destroyed, the owner is killed, and the bloodline of the Burke family is cut off!"

Ok?
Ha! It looks like Voldemort has been to the cave!

Thanks to the book friend "Daluo Immortal Chu Ritian" for the 1000-point reward!
