After estimating that the four new recruits were in place, Lockhart walked to the door of the potions shop, which is headquartered by Black Thorns, and moved his hands unceremoniously: "Burning flames!"

Even though the power has been deliberately controlled, the sign on the door of this store is still burning quickly, as striking as a large lamp in the center of the market in this gloomy weather.

"Who dares to come here to cause trouble?"

"Why can't I Apparate?"

"Come on, something is going to happen!"

...

The surrounding wizards wandering the black market became chaotic and commotion. Some stood to look at Lockhart, and some noticed something was wrong or had a ghost in their hearts, so they quietly moved to the two back doors.

The dozen or so brown-robed wizards standing in the corner immediately became nervous. After chatting for a while, they rushed over to surround Lockhart.

"Aurors are handling the case, everyone put away their wands and stand still!" Lockhart stood in front of the potions shop and cursed himself with a loud voice, and his shouts echoed throughout the street. Due to the existence of several magical enchantments set up in advance, the Muggles two blocks away would not notice any abnormality.

"Who!" Several brown-robed wizards pointed their wands at Lockhart.

"I made it very clear, the Auror is handling the case!" Lockhart recalled how Moody took him to handle the case, and subconsciously imitated him and glared at a few dark wizards: "I think you use your wand to face the case. An Auror is not a wise choice!"

The turbulent fluctuations of magic power rushed to the face, red light flashed in front of the eyes, and several security guards who dared to raise their wands had already let go of their weapons.

"So fast!"

"It's crazy!"

After Lockhart used a petrification spell to immobilize two wizards who were still trying to pick up their wands, no one on the field dared to do it again.

Half a minute later, more than a dozen wizards appeared in the potion shop one after another, and there was a confrontation with a huge disparity on the field:

Lockhart alone, against more than 30 dark wizards!

"I declare: Black Thorn is an illegal organization, and it will be banned from now on." Lockhart pretended to laugh arrogantly, and continued to loudly: "Everyone present, not a single one is allowed to leave, all must accept the Ministry of Magic's advice. Register for inspection!"

A tall wizard who was obviously a small leader stepped out of the crowd and said yin and yang: "You are so mad after a few people's weapons? What kind of thing is an Auror! When the whole team of strikers comes, you must obey the rules of the black thorns!"

Let out such a powerful word. Someone immediately responded: "That is, do you think you are Mad-Eyed Moody? And 'no one is allowed to go', I tell you, even if Moody comes, you don't dare to do it!"

"Moody is so stubborn. It's not that he can't die anymore, he actually ran to the mysterious man to pretend to force, haha-"

"Shut up!" Lockhart was furious in his heart, and a spell knocked the opponent out a few meters, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

In all fairness. The other party was right, even if Moody came, he would not dare to be such a pair of thirty-Mad Eye seems to be fearless, but he is actually a very cautious person. If he dares to act arrogant or complacent, then this The place must have been surrounded by at least a dozen Aurors or two teams of hitters.

——

Lockhart just can't accept that Moody's sacrifice is described in this tone!

"you!"

Lockhart's sudden outburst frightened everyone present, and more than 30 wizards pointed their wands at him in unison.

"The back door is also blocked by Aurors!" A young wizard rushed over and said, seeing the little chief lying on the ground, he didn't dare to continue talking for a while.

"The violent resisters, those pure-blooded families who were wiped out. They are your role models!" Lockhart roared viciously with his eyes wide open. The terrifying momentum immediately made everyone on the street seem to have been hit by a petrification spell, and no one dared to do it.

The wizards who were confronting him on the street were silent for a few seconds, and then someone said, "Merlin's ****... Yes, it's the White Devil King Lockhart!"

As soon as these words came out, all the wizards in the scene were in chaos: "That murderer from the Ministry of Magic!" "Merlin's..." "I surrender!" "Isn't Black Thorns going to kill me!"

Most wizards dropped their wands in horror, and a few cowardly threw their weapons on the ground.

——

"What's the matter?" A voice came from the potion shop, and the people inside obviously couldn't sit still. A few seconds later, a pale wizard stepped out.

Lockhart turned his head and glanced at him, frowning. This wizard is very strong, but it is only similar to Moody, but what caught Lockhart's attention was a smell of the same kind coming from him-could this guy also use unicorn blood to heal or extend his life ?

"You're the boss of Blackthorn?" Lockhart asked him. "Very well, then in front of everyone. Announce the dissolution of Blackthorn."

"Mr. White Devil... or Mr. Minister, the Ministry of Magic has never cared about the dark wizards on the Scottish side. Why do you suddenly want to fight this time, and choose the most low-key first to ban our black thorns?"

"Hehe... I personally don't have much ill will about this black market managed by Your Excellency's Black Thorns... I admit. Black Thorns is a relatively low-key and law-abiding dark wizard organization. You have miraculously kept one party safe, and even Gives some wizards a chance to work and beg for a meal - but now the Ministry of Magic provides benefits to all wizards, as long as you register, why not?"

"Register? Well, I'll bring all the members of Blackthorn to register another day, so I wonder if you're satisfied?"

The other party's attitude was good, and Lockhart didn't reach out and hit the smiling man: "This black market is suspected of providing forbidden potions to the Death Eater organization. The possible consequences are beyond the Ministry of Magic's ability to bear..."

"You mean I cooperate with Death Eaters?" The pale wizard shook his head: "I don't cooperate with that kind of lunatic. Back then when the Dark Lord came to ask me to cooperate with me when he was a young man, I refused. Now he He has risen and been defeated twice in a row, and it is even more impossible for me to help him!"

Lockhart smiles disdainfully ~lightnovelpub.net~ Working with the Dark Lord? These Yankees always have an inexplicable arrogance, and the Dark Lord is just using this black market to collect a little material. Not to mention cooperation, once Voldemort's plan succeeds, Blackthorn is not even qualified to carry his shoes.

"And the forbidden potion, we don't provide it here, he will get it from other places, it's not our fault at all..."

"According to your logic, I'll just send him the potion that the Dark Lord needs, and he'll get it from somewhere else anyway." Lockhart snorted coldly: "No matter what, this black market is all over the place today. must be closed."

"Lockhart." The wizard's face became even paler: "We and the Ministry of Magic have always been in the water, Scotland is not England, we can't close the shop because of your word, and you seem to have forgotten. It's Scottishness - not afraid of power."

"Not afraid of power?" Lockhart smiled. He never believed in such slogans. Not being afraid of power is nothing but two situations: either the power itself is not strong enough to destroy your will to resist, or It is you who mistakenly think that the power is not strong enough to destroy your will to resist.

Lockhart will immediately let the other party understand that Blackthorn is now encountering the latter situation.

He smiled and silently mobilized the magic power on the entire street around him, and slowly, little by little, pressed the terrifying aura onto the opponent's body.

But the other party did not show the expression of fear as Lockhart expected, but took out his wand and took a step - Lockhart instantly felt that there was a huge force surging in the other party's body, and the other party's strength was so powerful that it could generate momentum. At this point, although he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Lockhart, he was indeed resisting.
