Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

However, when they saw the core hub that had been dismantled, leaving only the foundation, the expressions on their faces became extremely unpleasant.

"Any discoveries?" After circling the ruins of the central spire, Thunderbird tilted his head to look at the two people beside him.

"All living creatures have disappeared, and there are no signs of a struggle. In fact, all traces of people have been completely erased. This ruin is where the park's protective core was located, and now it's been completely dismantled. The other party came prepared." Gold Flyer picked up a piece of the remaining debris, squeezed it in his hand, and then slammed it angrily on the ground.

"You know this place best. Is there anyone who can easily breach its defenses?" Although Phoenix often returned to Germany to assist Gold Flyer, the breeding park was always his responsibility, so she wasn't familiar with the situation here.

"Impossible. The defenses here are very sound. No one can break in directly without alerting the guards. The core magic arrays for alert and defense were built with a lot of the club's resources and a great deal of money. They can withstand the attacks of dozens of people for at least half an hour, which is enough time for us to react."

Gold Flyer's heart was bleeding. Building these three parks had cost Silver Spear at least 20 years of savings, and now it was gone like a popped bubble. The expression under his mask was extremely ferocious.

"Coming here, I didn't notice any resistance from the internal guards. So many people can't just disappear into thin air." Thunderbird nodded slightly, as if pondering something. "If everything you say is true, then there's an inside job!"

Then Thunderbird stared blankly at Gold Flyer beside him, as if trying to see something on his face.

Gold Flyer noticed Thunderbird's strange behavior and glared back at him angrily. "Why are you looking at me? I didn't attack the park."

As soon as he said those words, his heart skipped a beat. Could this Thunderbird be suspecting him?

In fact, not only Gold Flyer and Thunderbird, but Phoenix beside them also realized something. Then, like Thunderbird, she stared at Gold Flyer with a strange expression.

Thunderbird then snorted coldly. "You've always assured us that the defenses of these parks were impeccable. Now that such a big problem has occurred, how do you explain it?"

"If it was an inside job, an ordinary insider couldn't do this. And the park in front of us, rather than being attacked, looks more like it underwent an orderly evacuation. Who else besides you can do this?"

After saying this, Thunderbird faced him directly, his wand hanging lightly by his side, and slowly approached Gold Flyer.

Gold Flyer's eyes under the mask were narrowed into slits. Thunderbird wasn't just staring at him; he was even preparing for battle. If he found anything unusual about him, he had no doubt that the other party would attack directly.

At the same time, Gold Flyer could clearly sense that Phoenix had also unknowingly circled behind him. It seemed that in just a moment, the two had reached a consensus.

"Thunderbird, now is not the time for you to go crazy. What reason would I have to do such a thing?" Gold Flyer knew that if he couldn't dispel their suspicions today, things probably wouldn't end well.

"Reason? Does monopolizing the resources of the breeding park count?" Thunderbird snorted coldly. "Rune Serpent doesn't show his face at all now. Who knows if you've already mastered the recipe for the elixir of life? With that kind of thing, you probably wouldn't need us anymore."

"Take your brain out of your heel and think about it. If it's really as you think, why would I have to do this at this time?" Gold Flyer shouted excitedly.

"Moreover, I put so much effort into building the park. Keeping the park is more beneficial than harmful to you, me, and the club. According to the previous plan, we won't lack magical animal resources in the near future. Do you think I'm so stupid as to shoot myself in the foot?"

"Really not you messing around? Then who else could it be? This doesn't look like it's been attacked. Even those managers in the park, do they have the ability to do this?" Thunderbird's tone softened slightly, but he still looked at Gold Flyer suspiciously.

"So what we should do now is investigate, not start infighting here. The person who did all this is either an insider or a great enemy targeting the club. Are you sure you're ready to fight me now?"

"Besides!" Gold Flyer's tone gradually became colder. "If all of this is really my plan, do you think you two alone can stop me?"

After saying this, a powerful wave of magic suddenly erupted from Gold Flyer, the momentum of which was no less than that of Thunderbird releasing blue fiend fire.

Seeing Gold Flyer's actions, Thunderbird and Phoenix also instinctively released their magic fields.

These three magic fluctuations were as conspicuous as three flames in the dark night. At the same time, these powerful magic forces almost solidified and slowly spread outward.

They continued to push away everything around the three of them until the three magic forces collided and merged together.

After the three magic fields made contact with each other, they didn't continue to expand, but instead stalemated. If they went any further, it was likely to directly start a war.

This stalemate lasted for about 10 seconds, and then Thunderbird's magic field took the lead in relaxing. Seeing this, Gold Flyer and Phoenix instinctively withdrew their outward magic fluctuations.

"Looks like he doesn't seem to be lying!" Thunderbird didn't continue to speak to Gold Flyer, but glanced at Phoenix beside him.

"Indeed, I can sense his calmness in his magic." Phoenix also nodded in agreement. At their level, they could sensitively discover many problems from the contact of magic.

After saying this, Phoenix specifically looked at Thunderbird opposite her. "But your magic has become even wilder than before, making me feel like I've come into contact with lightning in a storm. It seems your strength has improved again."

"Heh, same to you. Your magic is still so annoying, like walking into a cemetery in the middle of the night." Thunderbird also quipped, then calmly put away his wand and stopped aggressively targeting Gold Flyer.

Seeing these two chatting with each other, as if he didn't exist, Gold Flyer was secretly annoyed, but he also knew that after the previous test, he had gotten rid of suspicion.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been 'temporarily' resolved, what should we do next?" Anduin slightly emphasized the word 'temporarily', as if reminding Gold Flyer that he didn't completely believe his words.

Gold Flyer didn't care about this, but said gloomily, "What we need to do now is naturally find the lost people and magical animals!"

"Do you have any clues? Transferring so many people and magical animals is not a small project, and to do it without anyone knowing, it definitely can't be done by just one or two people." Phoenix scanned the empty huge park. This was what they had worked so hard to build for so many years.

Gold Flyer nodded upon hearing this. "First of all, there must be an inside job, but it's not clear whether it's in the club or in the park. Secondly, so many magical animals and people can't just disappear into thin air. There must be a place to put them."

"And a week ago, I met with the park managers, so they couldn't have been transported too far. Following this line, we may still be able to get them back."

"Target?" Thunderbird immediately asked upon hearing this. "Who exactly is working against us? Do you have a target in mind?"

"The most likely person is Andre from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but to be honest, he doesn't seem like the type to do all this. There aren't many other options. Either it's someone from the Wizengamot, or it's a wizarding family." Gold Flyer reasonably speculated.

"Could it be a foreign force?" Thunderbird pointed to the southeast as he said this. "For example, some old friends over there?"

"Are you talking about other Saints?" Gold Flyer's eyes widened. "They usually guard Grindelwald and don't act casually, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. If the Ministry of Magic people discovered this place, they usually wouldn't use such sneaky methods. And if there's anyone in this world who hates us more, it's those people in Austria." Anduin under Thunderbird's mask didn't care so much; he just wanted to stir up trouble in the club.

"Now that Thunderbird says that, it's not impossible." Phoenix also chimed in at this time. "Those Saints of our generation are very stubborn, and many of them regard us as traitors."

"This..." Being led by the rhythm of Thunderbird and Phoenix, Gold Flyer's mind was a little confused.

Then Gold Flyer shook his head sharply. "In any case, finding the lost magical animals is the most important thing. Who the mastermind is will be clear when we find the people and the goods."

"Alright." Thunderbird nodded in admiration when he saw that Gold Flyer could still keep a clear head at this time. "Following this clue, what we need to do next is thoroughly investigate the entire German territory, all places suitable for housing so many people and magical animals. And such a large-scale movement may have witnesses, so we must pay attention to this aspect as well."

"At the same time, we must pay attention to whether anyone or any organization is buying large quantities of food, water, and medicine. So many living things can't live without eating and drinking, let alone so many magical animals."

Hearing the items listed by Thunderbird, Gold Flyer and Phoenix nodded in agreement.
