The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 715: bad omen
Link nodded and stepped forward to try to light up the buttons on the top floor of the elevator.
In the end, the 'Guard Hall' on the three floors below the Supreme Elder Council was finally lit up.
"laugh--"
The airtight doors of the elevator opened, revealing the space inside.
Link and Dumbledore looked at each other and frowned:
"This is the garrison hall, where the International Federation of Wizards garrisoned the armed forces. It seems that these people are going to close the door and beat the dogs."
Dumbledore was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to understand the meaning of the idiom 'close the door and beat the dog', smiled and shook his head:
"I really don't know where you heard so many strange words, but the meaning is very appropriate. However, who is the dog and who is the dog beater, I'm afraid I can't tell? Ha! There's nothing to be afraid of!"
After saying that, Dumbledore walked into the elevator first, and Link followed with a blank expression.
The airtight door of the elevator closed again, and after Link pressed the 'ready' button, the operation indicator light in the elevator turned on.
In the silence, powerful spatial fluctuations emanated from the space engine at the elevator level.
Link and Dumbledore each took out a space lock, and they were ready to activate it at any time.
This is a plan they have already made.
If the rulers of the International Confederation of Wizards want to rely on the elevator, the space transmission device, as a trap to get rid of the two of them, these people are bound to be disappointed.
Because whenever danger comes, Link and Dumbledore only need to squeeze the space lock in their hands, and the space force field that erupts in it can instantly form a hedge against the space force of the elevator space engine.
Then they can rely on their own strength to break through.
It's just that Link and Dumbledore didn't actually want this kind of thing to happen.
It's not that they are afraid of challenges.
But once such a thing happens, it becomes inevitable for them to completely destroy the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards from the outside.
This will greatly weaken the loot that Link and others get after the battle.
However, the Sky City ruler who lives in the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards doesn't seem to want to see such a scene, so Link and Dumbledore were not attacked in the space teleportation elevator. The elevator was only slightly After swaying for a while, the reminder of arriving at the destination rang.
"Ding--"
Listening to the crisp sound in his ears, Dumbledore smiled slightly, but Link did not relax, but became more nervous.
No. 1 in Link's impression doesn't care about the integrity of Sky City.
He once destroyed the French Ministry of Magic, turned the French magic world into a **** on earth, and threatened to let Sky City explode and destroy the world.
Such a demon, 100% would choose to use the space teleportation elevator to attack them.
Even with such a high probability, they cannot be killed, but even if the life of the whole sky city is exchanged for a little damage to Link and Dumbledore, this is also cost-effective for No. 1.
But now they have arrived at the 'Guard Hall' without incident, which further proves Link's previous conjecture - it is not No. 1 who controls Sky City now, and it is even very likely that No. 1 is not in Sky City!
It's just, if No. 1 really leaves Sky City, how can he get it?
The sound of the east hit the west, and the bottom of the pot is drawn to attack the magic world of the country?
But it doesn't make any sense.
The three places of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts and Foley Castle have been turned into absolute safe houses like iron barrels by Link.
Even if No. 1 really finds these places, as long as he dares to rush into it or use force to attack, the space lock arranged by Link will be increased by the increase and release a powerful space force field to destroy it. Take control.
And taking advantage of this time, Link has long been able to lead the army back to the magic world of the country for defense.
Unless, he has the ability to directly destroy the entire country in an instant with a powerful force and speed beyond space.
And it’s the kind of atomic-level destruction similar to the Vanishing Curse.
But how is this possible?
If he really had this kind of power, he wouldn't need to engage in so many rounds of confrontation with Link and Dumbledore.
Just push Link and Dumbledore directly.
In addition, Link can still perceive the presence of the powerful magic in this building.
Its strength is almost equal to No. 1.
If No. 1 has left Sky City, what is this powerful existence?
Could it be that No. 1 instilled all his power into that existence, and then he became an ordinary person and slipped away?
But this is impossible! How can anyone give up their martial arts before the war?
Shaking his head, Link followed Dumbledore out of the elevator.
The building was so eerie that he almost couldn't understand it.
What Link didn't expect was that even stranger things were yet to come.
Because when he walked out of the elevator, what appeared in front of him was not the scene he expected to be surrounded by layers of guards from the International Federation of Wizards.
But an empty hall.
In the entire garrison hall, all the facilities are intact. Through several transparent glass observation ports, Link can also see that the equipment storage is neatly placed inside the standard aircraft, as well as various weapons and equipment.
Even the green plants in the hall and the drink vending machines placed in the corners are still operating normally.
However, in the garrison hall, which was supposed to guard the armed forces, there was no one at all.
This made the vigilance that Link and Dumbledore had done was in vain.
However, Link and Dumbledore did not let their guard down.
The two continued to wander in the garrison hall, and at the same time cast mental power to perceive this huge garrison hall.
And ten minutes later, they finally put down their wands.
"It seems that there really is no one here."
Dumbledore said with a wry smile.
Link's expression became cold, and he said lightly:
"Quickly go to the 'Supreme Council of Elders' to end all this. The ominous premonition here is getting stronger and stronger."
Dumbledore nodded and took Link to a secret room hidden in the corner of the equipment storage room.
It is painted white, and there is no furniture, only an old-fashioned home lamp is installed in the center of the ceiling.
A bright red light cord just hangs down.
Link is no stranger to this kind of scene, and a similar space teleportation device also exists in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom.
Its function is to repeatedly pull the light rope to switch the space to achieve the effect of space transmission.
It's just that Link didn't expect that Sky City, which has mastered various ultra-high space technologies, would continue to use this space transmission method.
It seems that these light ropes, which are equivalent to emergency passages, have not been used for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, Link held the space lock with one hand and grabbed the light cord with the other.
Following Link's movements, the light cord was pulled, making a crisp "click" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the color of the walls in this room changed from the original white to black, and after Link pulled the light cord for the second time, it returned to its original state.
Link didn't release the light cord immediately, but let Dumbledore leave the room for observation and exploration.
After all, this is not the Department of Mysteries, and he doesn't know whether the effect of the lamp rope here is the same as that of the Department of Mysteries. If it is different, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen.
Dumbledore returned to the room only a few seconds later, nodding at Link.
"This should be the teleportation hall of the International Federation of Wizards, but... sigh, why don't you come and see for yourself."
Dumbledore said with an ugly expression.
After hearing this, Link let go of the light cord and walked out of the room.
The structure of the International Confederation of Wizards' Teleportation Hall is actually similar to that of the newly-built Teleportation Hall in the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom. All of them use a huge space plus a ground map for transmission.
The only difference between the two is that the teleportation hall of the International Federation of Wizards is more efficient and concealed, and it will not make such a big move as the Ministry of Magic of the country.
However, like the previous garrison hall, no one was seen here either.
In the entire huge and empty teleportation hall, only Link and Dumbledore strolled on it.
And after stepping in here, Link also sensed the strangeness that Dumbledore had not been able to say just now.
That is, the air here is filled with a lingering faint smell of blood.
This smell was not supposed to be here.
Because although this teleportation hall is airtight, it is equipped with a special magic fresh air system, which can continuously purify the indoor air.
But now there is still the smell of blood.
Link could only think of one reason for this.
There was a massacre here not long ago, and hundreds or even thousands of people died here!
"So, this is probably the reason why there was no one in the garrison hall before?"
Link said lightly, but Dumbledore frowned and did not speak.
Being in the scene of such a massacre, his mood is really not good.
Link also did not continue to try to communicate with Dumbledore.
The two stepped forward and came to the center of the teleportation hall.
There is also a long light rope hanging down from the ceiling here.
Obviously, such a light cord in this position is inappropriate and against the aesthetics.
Link even felt that these light ropes were deliberately placed here to lead them to a certain place.
As usual, with Link's character, he would definitely treat it with caution.
It's just that at this moment, Link has run out of patience.
He took a few steps and grabbed the light rope, and after pulling it twice in a row, the surrounding scenery quickly flashed twice.
After Link and Dumbledore's vision was restored, the two were already in the "International Wizarding Secrecy Law Operational Assurance Department" located one level below the "Supreme Council of Elders".
The so-called 'International Wizarding Secrecy Act Operational Guarantee Department' is actually composed of the Office for Reversing Occasional Magical Events, the Memory Cancellation Command, and the Magic Liaison Office.
It is responsible for all the work of the International Confederation of Wizards in maintaining the Statute of Secrecy.
On a daily basis, he is not only responsible for instructing the Ministry of Magic of various countries to implement the maintenance of the "Secret Law", but also often handles some strange events that the Ministry of Magic of various countries cannot handle.
Therefore, the workload of the Department of Operational Guarantee of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act is quite large.
This can also be seen from the decoration here.
Different from the seriousness and coldness of the front garrison hall and the white minimalism of the teleportation hall, the interior of the 'International Wizarding Secrecy Law Operation Guarantee Department' is simply a luxuriously decorated garbage dump.
There are all kinds of extravagant decorations here, and even the highest quality magic condensed crystals are used for lighting.
But here, it doesn't give people even a little sense of luxury.
Because here is chaos.
All kinds of documents and crumpled waste paper were thrown everywhere, coffee cups and all kinds of **** were everywhere, tables and chairs were all crooked.
If Link was forced to describe it, it was like a work hall that had been messed up because of the busyness, and then there was another looting, which made everything even more chaotic.
The only thing in common here with the two previous locations is that it's also empty.
By this time, Link and Dumbledore had long been accustomed to this kind of empty and weird scene.
The two simply swept the surroundings with their mental power, and then walked one after the other, maintaining a vigilant attitude towards a closed stone gate in the distance.
Follow the instructions on the light sign downstairs.
Behind that door should be the seat of the Supreme Council of Elders.
This kind of space setting is obviously designed to facilitate the staff of the "International Wizarding Secrecy Law Operational Guarantee Department" to report to the elders in time.
And right now, it's just as convenient for Link and Dumbledore.
"Boom--"
As the stone gate was pushed open, a wave of waves unique to space teleportation enveloped the bodies of the two of them.
Link dared to swear that this was the most gentle space teleportation he had ever experienced in his life.
The teleportation elevator they were riding in front of them still felt a little vibration.
But at the moment of the teleportation, Link really didn't even feel the slightest shaking.
The moment he and Dumbledore pushed the door open, they only felt the surrounding scenery rapidly stretch back.
When they came back to their senses, they were already in a huge auditorium.
At the end of the auditorium, there are nine huge stone thrones.
This should correspond to the nine elders in charge of the International Federation of Wizards and Sky City respectively~lightnovelpub.net~ and right now, eight of the nine thrones are vacant.
Only on the throne in the center sits a figure with a golden crown on his head and his whole body shrouded in a white robe.
"Om-"
The phantom of a huge and ferocious beast emerged from behind Link, and Dumbledore's whole body was also wrapped in a dazzling white-gold holy light.
The two of them went into battle almost instantly.
Seeing this, the figure at the end of the auditorium also stood up from the throne.
During the action, the patterns sewn with gold thread on the white robe kept surging, and finally a golden pattern formed by the composite overlapping of nine rings was condensed on his body.
At the same time, the blood-red face of the figure finally appeared in front of Link and Dumbledore.
