I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 178 Magic Exposed Threat Level: Emergency!

The old man who came riding the Thunderbird was wearing a knee-length trench coat, and his temperament was extraordinary, coupled with the neat movements he had just made when he turned over from the back of the Thunderbird.

Both Elvis and Elizabeth shouted in surprise: What a handsome gentleman!

It’s just that his thick bangs half-covered his eyes, and his eyes were wandering when talking to the two of them, and he didn’t dare to look at them, which made people think that he was actually a shy person.

The combination of these two opposite temperaments in one person has a strange charm.

Ives knew that the old man in front of him was Newt Scamander, whom Dumbledore had mentioned before. He is a well-known magizoologist and the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a textbook designated for the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts.

Speaking of which, Ives’ suitcase was given to him by Newt.

Newt took out a tarnished phoenix tail feather from his arms to prove his identity.

“Mr. Evans, I am Newt Scamander, sent by Professor Dumbledore to receive the young wizards and the Obscurus.” He spoke very fast, and glanced at Ives through his thick bangs. Although he had never met him, he had a deep impression of this handsome young man.

“Mr. Scamander, what did you say about Congress adjusting the magical exposure threat level?” Elizabeth interjected anxiously.

【”Unexplainable severe situation” is enough to prove how strong the crisis facing the American wizarding community is at this moment. Generally speaking, this kind of crisis will soon turn into the most serious”emergency situation”.

The last time the magic exposure threat level clock moved to this level was because of the Second Salem case in 1926. At that time, when it turned the needle again and pointed to”Emergency”, the city of New York was mostly destroyed by the Obscurus that Credence turned into.

Newt shook his head, still not daring to look directly into their eyes,”I don’t know either.”

His eyes suddenly saw the traces left by Graves in the secret room,”This is……”

He stood on tiptoes, put his head close to the big hole in the ceiling, and said in shock:”Is this caused by Obscurus?!”

Ives explained, briefly summarizing to him what had just happened.

The shocked Newt couldn’t even keep his autistic character. He stared blankly at Ives’ face.

No wonder he had just arrived riding Frank – Frank was the name of Thunderbird – when something black jumped in front of him in another direction.

But he was busy on his way, and it snowed just last night in New York. The vast whiteness dazzled his eyes, so he didn’t think much about it.

I really didn’t expect that Mo Ran actually ran out!

No wonder the magic exposure threat level clock hurriedly adjusted the magic exposure threat level. Newt always felt that this scene was very familiar.

When he first came to New York, was there an Obscurus wreaking havoc everywhere in New York City? He fell into memories

“Mr. Scamander,” Ives’s voice brought him back to reality,”We have to first move the Obscurus and the little wizard out of the secret room deep inside.”

“No, that’s right. Newt hurriedly replied.

He first comforted the thunderbird, and then took a suitcase from its back.

Newt twisted the knob on the side of the suitcase to the side with the wand on it, opened the suitcase and ordered The two little wizards placed the four unconscious people on the ground inside.

Unlike Ives, who was already familiar with the business, Elizabeth was immediately attracted by the huge space inside when seeing such a magical suitcase for the first time.

Newt’s suitcase The suitcase is obviously the same model as that of Ives, and you have to go through a staircase to get to the first room.

However, the layout here is completely different from Ives’ suitcase.

This is an extremely simple cabin, with only one There was a bed, a table, a chair, and a cabinet.

Time was tight and the two little wizards had no time to visit here carefully. They placed the four unconscious little wizards behind the mattress created by Newt and hurried out..

While Ives and Elizabeth were transporting the little wizard and the Obscurus in another secret room, Newt was carefully checking the physical condition of the unconscious little wizard.

Years ago, he had successfully removed an Obscurus from a Sultan. The girl’s body was separated.

Although he failed to save the girl at that time, after so many years of research, although he was still not 100% sure that he could cure the Obscurial, he could only judge the physical condition of the Obscurial and whether he would be cured. Under the influence of the Obscurus, he was still able to give accurate answers.

After carefully transferring the last glass container containing the Obscurus, Ivis and Elizabeth could finally relax.

After questioning, Newt refused Their help.

While waiting for him to complete the inspection, the two of them started to visit the cabin out of boredom.

On one wall of this room were various tools for taming magical animals, including fishing rods, ropes, and midwifery tools. tools, breast pumps and other tools; on the other wall are photos of various magical animals, and there are notes below with specific domestication plans and various precautions. In the center of the cabin is a wooden On the table, Newt’s various herbs, instruments and his notebooks were placed. These items were neatly placed on one side of the table, and several photo frames were placed on the other side.

Elvis leaned over curiously , and found that the photo frame in the front contained a smiling blond-haired boy, who looked about the same age as him.

There was a comfortable wooden chair next to the table, and next to the chair was a small bookshelf with buttons on it. My favorite magic books, judging from the titles on the side, are all about magical animals:”Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”》、《Fantastic animals on the tip of the tongue》、《Postpartum care for sows》……

This small bookshelf not only provides a convenient reading space, but also adds a bookish atmosphere to the entire cabin.

……

Meanwhile, the Obscurus transformed by Graves has flown to the Woolworth Building.

It did not avoid the presence of Muggles on its way here, and did not deviate from its route even when it encountered tall buildings. The black mist surrounding it pierced through anything that dared to block its path, and flew in a straight line towards its destination.

In the Congress, all three hands of the magic exposure threat level clock turned to the red zone: the situation is urgent!

The sirens rang throughout Congressional headquarters, and all Congressional officials stopped what they were doing and rushed from their offices to the lobby with wands raised.

Professor Flitwick and Cone were among them.

With a sullen face, Cone lowered his head and informed Professor Flitwick of the information he had just obtained:”Graves is a mole. He just attacked the Belloc family in Joshua Hospital.””

“What?!”

Before he could ask in detail, the sound of shattering glass came from high up.

A large black, slimy mass of Obscurus broke into

the hole in the building and crashed randomly on the floor.

Fortunately, the alarm sounded very loudly. In time, almost all the wizards staying in the Woolworth Building were moved to the first floor hall in advance.

The broken floors and walls fell from high places, and under the command of Congress Chairman Gorkan O’Brien, people gathered in the hall The wizards raised their wands in time to smash them into pieces

“Quick, attack those falling rocks quickly.”O’Brien yelled, a middle-aged wizard with gray hair and a gentle smile on his lips.

The current chairman is a descendant of Cormac O’Brien, one of the original twelve Aurors.. But he was able to get into this position not only because of the power of his family, but also because of his outstanding personal abilities.

He almost recognized at a glance what was breaking into the congressional headquarters,

Obscurus!

What worries O’Brien most Things still happened.

After having an in-depth understanding of the Second Salem case, he was very afraid that the purgers would create an Obscurus in a certain city in the United States. After taking office, he presided over the passage of several bills to combat the purges.

However, in recent years, no trace of the purgers has been found in the Auror Office, and Congress has begun to relax its crackdown on them.

Merlin’s lace underwear, O’Brien swore that he would send the person in charge of the Auror Office back. Go to the guillotine!

Seeing Mogu Ran wreaking havoc upstairs, he shouted anxiously:”Security director, quickly lift the anti-Apparition spell!”

Many wizards crowded in the hall dealt with the rubble falling from the sky while moving towards the Apparition area and the gate.

For safety and confidentiality, the Apparition area of the Congress occupied a very small area, just to prevent There are enemies appearing in large numbers at the headquarters. The same is true at the gate. Only two or three people can pass through at a time. So far, only a few wizards have escaped from the building.

What’s more, O’Brien always feels that the Obscurus seems to have wisdom. It was deliberately stopping them, preventing them from escaping.

Whenever they tried to approach the door, the Obscurus would knock itself against the wall and scatter in all directions, and the black mist it turned into would spread crazily around these wizards.

This caused them to stop and use spells to fight against the part of the Obscurus.

In the past few minutes, no one made any progress.

O’Brien knew that the most important thing to do now was to quickly remove the damn anti-Apparition spell. Allow the officials here to escape.

With the destructive power displayed by this large group of Obscurus, it is impossible to subdue it even with the strength of everyone present.

The attack of the Obscurus was too sudden, and they were not prepared at all. You can let them escape successfully, and if you arrange it carefully, you can definitely kill them with the magic wand!

“give me some time!”

Magic Security Director Kohaug shouted. Regardless of the danger, he turned around and ran upstairs.

The alchemy device loaded with the anti-Apparition Curse was placed in the Magic Security Office. Only the previous presidents and Magic Security Directors knew how to remove it. , and every time there is a personnel change, the lifting method will be updated.

Since O’Brien needs to stay in the hall to organize everyone, then only he can lift the anti-Apparition spell.

The Obscurus that Graves has become has already Not content with destroying the floor, it rose high and hit the ceiling hard. Countless tentacles stretched out from the black magic polymer that glowed red.

The Obscurus clung to the ceiling like a vine, its tentacles Slowly extending down the walls and glass.

A sizzling sound sounded in the building.

The marble walls and floors were gradually being corroded as if they were exposed to concentrated sulfuric acid. A small amount of lava was dripping from the air, and more lava was climbing down the walls..

A wizard was accidentally touched and immediately burst into screams.

The wizard beside him hurriedly gave him a freezing spell.

O’Brien was a little desperate. Is Congress going to be destroyed in his hands?

At this time, he keenly sensed There was a wave of magic power, and the sound of breaking shackles seemed to be heard in the space.

“Escape!”He was overjoyed. He knew that this was the anti-Apparition spell that was successfully lifted by Kohaug.

He must give his dear head of magical security a great credit!

The wizards evacuated in an orderly manner, leaving a part to fight against the Obscurus and the constant dripping. The falling lava, the other part was transferred out of here by phantom.

When everyone retreated, no one noticed that Obscurus had stopped its destructive actions.

Several black figures in robes appeared in the ruined hall, They walked toward the underground of the building without saying a word.

……

“Phew~” Newt wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just a simple check took up most of his energy.

He was already over ninety years old and had to���old.

He said with a somewhat heavy tone:”I checked, the four little wizards are fine, they will just be comatose for a period of time. And the other little wizards……”

He pointed at the little wizards lying on the ground who had been found in the deep chamber.

“They endured long periods of torture, abnormal physical weakness, and the stripped Obscurus. Newt’s expression was a little painful,”I’m afraid it’s hard for them to survive for another year.”……”

Ives and Elizabeth were silent.

Damn Graves, Ives clenched his fist hard. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little weak.

This is a real world, not a fairy tale. He is not the protagonist of Long Aotian’s cool novel, and he cannot save everyone.

Ives’s desire for strength has been raised to the extreme, and he does not want his friends to follow the plot of the original work.

Even if he can’t save everyone, at least he must protect his friends

“You all tried your best.”Looking at the two people with gloomy expressions, Newt spoke to comfort him.

After a moment of silence, Ives took out the double-sided mirror from his arms and said,”I’ll contact Professor Dumbledore.”

The mirror gradually lit up, and Dumbledore was waiting behind the double-sided mirror.

Without much greeting, Ives told him all the situation.

Dumbledore frowned tightly, and his eyes Zhong’s anger could not be suppressed, and he clasped the index finger of his right hand heavily on the table,”It is impossible for me to rush to New York before Congress makes a request for assistance to the International United Wizards.”

Hearing this, Ives was a little disappointed. Although Graves has become a very strong Obscurus, no matter how strong he is, can he be as strong as Dumbledore holding the Elder Wand?

Losing strong support means that he wants to solve this matter. They still have to rely on themselves

“Once you find that something cannot be done, remember to ensure your own safety.”

Before the communication was hung up, Dumbledore gave his final instructions.

……

Two in one, four thousand words
