Chapter 260 Zombie dog? !

  But before Ted and Hermione finished their first glass of butterbeer, a bell rang outside the window!

   "Huh? Is it this late already?" Ron thought in a daze that it was almost dinner time.

  But Ted and the others knew it was not!

   "What clock strikes at this time?" Jerry wondered.

  He reminded Ted in one sentence: "No, it's a wake-up call!"

  I said before that the bell hadn't been rung for ten years, but it ended up being rung now.

  Ted rushed out of the tavern first, the wand already in his hand.

  When the friends saw Ted like this, they immediately followed him.

  When the other students saw this scene, their blood boiled immediately, and they pulled out their wands and shouted: "Go and help Ted!"

  Six or seven people rushed out of the tavern in a swarm, scaring the other drinking guests.

  Madam Boss: Luckily, I always collect the money first, otherwise I would lose a lot!

  …

  The time goes back to last night.

  Basel was crying while hugging his swallow-tailed dog Sanji, and ran out of the Forbidden Forest stumbled.

  His Sanchi is a seasoned hound who knows the Forbidden Forest well.

   And Basel is doing some small business of buying and selling.

   I also said before that the basic life of a wizard is worry-free, so there are many wizards who have nothing to do.

  They usually start a small business when they are short of money, or do part-time jobs, and lie down again when they have nothing to do.

   And Basel plans to renovate his house before winter comes, and plans to collect some herbs in the Forbidden Forest to sell.

  He got good grades in herbal medicine when he was in school, and he has been able to cope with the lack of money these years by picking herbs.

  Although it is said that the Forbidden Forest belongs to Hogwarts in name, such a large area of ​​magical forest is definitely not like a feudal lord who hangs anyone who goes in to hunt!

  Generally, as long as you are not the kind of magical animal on the protection list for malicious poaching, the school does not care about other behaviors.

  It’s like collecting herbs, catching some legal magical animals and so on, it’s all okay.

  The main reason is that I can't manage it, Hagrid has had enough hard time playing hide-and-seek with those poachers.

  Generally, this kind of behavior is ignored at all, and if it looks pleasing to the eye, it will even help.

  Because of Sanji the swallowtail dog, Hagrid also helped Basel twice.

  It was the same this time, when Basel came out of the Forbidden Forest not long after he came out of the Forbidden Forest in a mess, mud mixed with blood, holding Sanji, a swallow-tailed dog who was no longer breathing, and was discovered by Hagrid.

   Seeing Hagrid, Basel was crying while holding Sanji.

  According to him, he was attacked by a crazy Tebo warthog while stepping on moonflowers in the woods!

   And Sanji was stabbed in the abdomen by Tebo warthog in order to protect him.

  Although Basel had already applied Baixian essence to Sanji, it still failed to survive.

  Hagrid feels the same way. The magical animal population in the Forbidden Forest has indeed seemed a little nervous recently, and something may happen again.

   "Poor Sanji..." Hagrid also shed a few grape-sized tears.

   After returning to Hogsmeade's home, Basel reluctantly buried Sanji behind the house and erected a monument.

  However, what he didn't expect was that just this afternoon, when he, who was still hurt, went to the grave to pay homage to Sander, Sander crawled out of the soil!

  Then attacked Basel, who was full of grief and joy, stunned...

  Basel didn't even have time to take out his wand before he was thrown down and bitten by Sanji.

  His cries for help alarmed the neighbors, and as a result, the "resurrected" Sanji bit his master like crazy.

  Even after being hit by three spells in a row, he still crawled towards the nearby villagers, clenching his sharp teeth together.

   In a panic, I don't know who used the magic wand to ring the alarm bell, which attracted more people's attention.

  By the time Ted arrived, the "resurrected Sanji" had already been subdued. Behind him were eight or nine young wizards from Hogwarts, and the number immediately increased.

   There were already six or seven wizards around the scene before, and two more were bitten.

  One had multiple wounds on his body and bled a lot, and the other had a bite on his arm.

  The onlookers and wizards talked a lot:

"what happened?"

   "Sanji crazy?!"

   "But I heard that Sanji passed away last night. Basel buried it in his backyard!"

   "So what is this now?"

   "It doesn't look normal!"

   Can it be normal?

  The swallow-tailed dog has gray hair, white eyes, a lot of viscous saliva from its mouth, and a faint rancid smell on its body. Even though it is controlled by the spell, it is still barking at people nearby!

   There is no such thing as rabies!

  Ted had the first impression when he saw it: Zombie dog? !

  He was thrilled!

  If this is the Resident Evil T virus, it will be over!

  Magic may not be able to control the spread of that thing!

   For a while, cold sweat oozes out. But soon he discovered that the "zombie swallowtail dog" had magic fluctuations.

  Very different magic fluctuations, never seen before.

  Ted waved into the air, and Ansu landed on his shoulder.

  Ted whispered a few words, Ansu nodded, flapped his wings and flew towards the school.

  …

   This incident finally alarmed Minister of Magic Fudge.

   Of course, it is possible that Dumbledore came forward, but a crazy swallow-tailed dog resurrected after death is indeed unusual.

  Especially after the two wounded in St. Mungo were diagnosed by a therapist as having received a strange curse, things became even more unusual.

   Resurrection!

   Crazy!

   Curse!

  These three words are intertwined, how could it be ordinary.

  Dumbledore has carefully checked the zombie swallowtail dog. To be precise, it is not a zombie, but an undead swallowtail dog.

  Good news: not T virus.

  Bad news: Maybe it's a natural disaster of the undead! At least a necromancer, right?

  Is there such a thing as a necromancer in this world? some!

   Otherwise, what are the mummies in Egypt, the zombie Taoists in the East, and the psychics in Japan?

  Even Voodoo in Africa is especially good at making reanimated corpses, communicating with dead souls, and even contacting "gods"!

  It’s just that in recent decades, as wizards from Africa have also joined the International Federation of Wizards, many things that do not comply with regulations have become less and less.

  If you look at it now, there are more in South America.

  However, the undead dog in front of him is completely different from the local "death magic".

  This thing has a terrible contagion!

  If St. Mungo's doctor was not really high-end, he discovered the magic power left in the wound of the wounded in time, and then discovered this "curse of the undead", I am afraid that within a few days, these two people would have to die.

  And after death, they will also become undead who go crazy and attack people, the kind that can infect curses.

  This is a big problem.

  Europe experienced the Black Death in the Middle Ages!

Once bitten, twice shy.

   Immediately, thirty or forty Aurors and strikers came to Hogsmeade with various equipment and equipment.

  Part of the village was closed and no entry or exit was allowed; some went straight to the Forbidden Forest to find the crazy Tebo warthog that Basel was talking about.

  St. Mungo's therapists, some curse-breakers, and potion masters research how to lift this curse, and may even need to study preventive methods.

  Now there is a very bad guess: if you are bitten, you will be cursed, and you will die within two days of being cursed. After death, you will continue to expand the scope of the curse, so the number of various magical animals in the Forbidden Forest...is very scary!

  The Ministry of Magic is also aware of the danger this time, and it can be said that it has spent a lot of money.

  Six giant magic devices with a diameter of more than two meters and a height of three and a half meters were placed around Hogsmeade, forming a hexagram circle, and then opened a huge magic barrier that could envelop the entire village!

   This is quite a feat.

  Ted knew that Hogwarts had a similar magical barrier, but one was that it didn’t have such a large area, and the other was that it had been continuously improved and accumulated over thousands of years.

   I didn't expect the Ministry of Magic to use the magic technology of the gnomes to come up with such an advanced thing.

  They don't eat dry food either!

  In addition, those Aurors and batterers all carried some standard equipment with some familiar runes on them.

   This is the rune equipment technology of the dwarves...

  This is very good, it is true that multi-racial communication has improved.

   But there are still problems, mainly due to insufficient manpower.

  The number of wizards has always been a big problem.

  The whole of the UK is about 30,000, but it is very scattered.

   And there are even fewer violent departments in the Ministry of Magic that specialize in combat.

  Generally capable wizards really don't want to be an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, let alone a striker. The level of combat effectiveness is quite low.

   Probably the difference between the armed police and the civilian police.

   There is not enough manpower, so someone proposed dementors again...
