Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

"You can't go." Moody refused directly. "Undercover investigation and intelligence gathering are the specialties of Aurors. Your unruly ways will make people laugh at you. We will have to rescue you when the time comes."

Mad-Eye did not hide his disgust, which made Sirius feel embarrassed, but he had nothing to say.

In front of the oldest and most powerful Auror, he really didn't have the qualifications to show off his ability - Newt, who was also old and strong, was almost qualified, but Newt obviously couldn't do it.

He is a man of great magical powers, wit and courage. He is good at many things, but lurking is not one of them. He could do it with difficulty when he was young, and he is even more unable to do it as he gets older.

Even Moody himself has this problem. Age brings with it a decline in concentration, and his old body with layers of new and old injuries is only more serious than that of other wizards.

After a moment's thought, everyone's eyes turned to Lin En.

He was observing Lester without even looking up, and said calmly, "What are you all thinking about? Of course, I will handle this matter myself. Retrieve his memory for me. I need to check it again before I leave to avoid any mistakes."

The deep amber eyes met Lester's dull gaze, and the moment their eyes met, a torrent of chaotic and disordered information came rolling in.

This is the weight and chaos of hundreds of years of life, enough to break down the defenses of those unsuspecting wizards.

But to Lynn, it was just a library, just with more information and a little more effort.

That's it.

Chapter 433 Leviathan's First Contact

On the evening of September 9, Italy, Paradise Street, an inconspicuous bar located on the corner.

Here, everyone from the bartender to the store owner is Leviathan's partner, and they are specifically responsible for receiving guests who come here to assign and negotiate tasks.

Paradise Street is a lawless place with a unique order. The powerful black market managers have connections with all kinds of people and have implemented their principles for decades.

Regardless of where they come from, we keep the identity of every visitor who purchases a mask confidential and ensure their safety.

Setting up a contact point here is the safest option.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after careful preparation, Lynn changed into the high-necked windbreaker that Lester most often wore, and pushed the door open wearing a bat mask.

He had performed a transfiguration on himself that was more convincing than Polyjuice Potion, and even an expert interrogator like Moody couldn't tell the difference.

As soon as I entered the door, the waiter who had received the news early came forward quickly and bowed his head respectfully: "Please show your identity card."

"Codename Shadowbat, number AH52, I have an appointment in private room five on the third floor. Don't waste my time."

Lynn threw out a card indifferently, sat down at the bar, and snapped his fingers at the bartender.

"As always, don't fool me with your African stuff, or I'll try to see if your blood can be used as a seasoning."

The fangs faintly visible under the mask made the bartender, who came upon hearing the news, shudder all over and nodded hurriedly.

He has been working here for many years, and the vampire in front of him is one of the troublemakers that he should not mess with.

Even the bar owner was alarmed and apologized repeatedly with a smile, which made Lin En's expression relax a little. He took the carefully prepared cocktail and drank it all in one gulp. He snatched the ID card returned by the waiter and walked upstairs.

This impolite behavior made the waiter, who had just been here not too long, a little annoyed. Seeing Lin En's back disappearing around the corner, he muttered softly: "What a waste..."

Before he could finish his words, the chubby boss covered his mouth with his hands and said viciously in a low voice: "Are you going to die?!"

After saying that, he looked up cautiously, and was relieved when he saw that Lin En didn't hear or respond.

"You're lucky. Do you know who he is? How dare you talk to him like that? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"But boss, he's not here..."

"It's true that he's not here, but you have to know that you should never offend a vampire who can actually live for hundreds of years."

The boss said meaningfully, "His ability is indeed not very good among us, but he has many tricks. The most important thing is that he is more petty than anyone you have ever met."

The bartender shook the cocktail shaker in his hand, nodded in agreement and said, "Although he doesn't seem to be very particular, he has a very good tongue. If he really finds fault with it, we will all be in trouble. You should learn from him!"

"This... okay, I understand..." The waiter lowered his head somewhat aggrievedly and ran to the corner to wipe the table.

After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard again. This time, the fat boss came to greet the guest personally, but he did not mention the identity verification at all. He respectfully invited a hooded man to the second floor.

Behind him were two figures, one tall and one short. Although they were wearing the same mouse masks, it was clear that they were a goblin and a wizard respectively.

They walked upstairs in a hurry, making quite a lot of noise, which attracted the attention of the bartender and the waiter. But this time the bartender didn't dare to say anything. He turned his back and checked the wine without even looking at it.

These three, especially the one leading the team, are real big shots and one of the top "arbitrators" of the organization.

The reputation of these people is so well-known that even peripheral staff such as waiters dare not even breathe.

He is not as petty as the old vampire just now, but a person with real ability and power.

-----------------

When the three people in the bar downstairs were trembling with fear, Lin En, who had just sat down upstairs, also saw them.

"You are two minutes late." He sat at the table carelessly, without standing up, and shook his watch - it was an old mechanical watch, and no one knew whether it was accurate or not.

"Indeed, we are late, Lester." The man in black who was walking in front straightened his cat mask and sat in front of Lin En. "We ran into some trouble outside. Let me introduce these two to you. Izar and Baladuk are my subordinates."

"Lori has already told me." Lin En said calmly, and then his eyes moved to the strange duo of the goblin and the wizard. "They look quite powerful. Should I partner with them?"

"You three are indeed a team, but there are more than three of you on this mission." The man in black shook his head. "The organization attaches great importance to this operation and requires that people be organized in batches to sneak into the UK and find the Muggle's skeleton."

"You rarely let people go to the UK before. It's been decades, right?" Lin En crossed his legs and loosened the collar of his windbreaker slightly. "What happened that changed your personality?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, Lester. Just carry out your mission." The man in black's tone turned cold.

The duo standing behind the man in black remained expressionless, but a terrifying aura was faintly heard, full of threats and warnings.

"I almost forgot that the little Dojes who was always timid towards everyone has become a big shot now." Lin En didn't care at all. "Why, are you going to act tough with your seniors?"

"This is the organization's rule. Don't make it difficult for me." After staring at each other for a few seconds, the man in black, Dojes, said with relief, "You are only one or two major missions away from promotion, right?"

"I don't know. I haven't calculated it. Anyway, I'm quite satisfied with the life extension method. I don't care about other things." Lin En said nonchalantly, "I don't have many years left to live. I might as well stay at home and grow flowers. A few days ago in Sofia, some ignorant little thieves broke into my house. It was really hateful."

The short goblin sneered, and Dojes showed a sympathetic expression, picked up the tea on the table and said, "I know about your case and have organized an investigation. It's a pity that the identity of the attacker is very strange - he has disappeared for a long time."

"Tell me, who is it?" Lin En showed some serious interest. "I owe you a favor."

"Antonin Dolohov, a Death Eater." Dodgers said word by word, "The last time he was seen in public was twelve years ago, and he has been missing for many years."

"Death Eater?" Lynn's eyes were filled with anger. "Then you still want me to pick bones for that Englishman? Dodgers, are you humiliating me?"

"Of course not. We need your breath-identifying magic to break the current predicament. As you know, the higher-ups attach great importance to the cooperation with the big man who calls himself the Dark Lord, and I also hope to... go further." Dorje said.

He pointed at the duo behind him, "I know you are all afraid of Albus Dumbledore. The two of them will protect and cooperate with your mission throughout. No one can stop you."

"..."

Lynn said nothing, staring at the short goblin and the strong wizard, then looking into Dojies's deep eyes.

"Are you spying on me?"

"It's just protection. It's the same old rule for every group." Duojies said calmly, "You are much more experienced than me, and I can tell you that if your authority is upgraded, there will be new life extension methods that are more effective than the current ones."

Lynn's breathing became slightly heavier, and she made a slight expression of surprise, which flashed by but was just caught by Dodgers.

He said seriously: "I won't lie to you. You can at least live an extra hundred years. Since you are a vampire, maybe even more."

"One hundred years..." Lin En pretended to be silent. "I believe you won't lie to me. If that's the case, I can give it a try. Have you prepared everything I need?"

"Of course, according to the backtracking magic performed earlier, those bones were not completely destroyed, but were hidden somewhere else - but they cannot be found using conventional methods."

Dojes took out an old piece of clothing and said, "Following the scent on it, we have locked onto an area in the mountains of Scotland. Find it and bring it back to me."

Chapter 434 Internal strife?

Late at night, on an unknown barren mountain in Scotland.

Lin En, dressed in a black night suit, and the duo who were claiming to be cooperating but were actually spying on each other landed on the mountainside one after the other.

They always kept a distance of several meters, walking slowly in the dark forest, feeling the dead silence of the night.

There was no movement around and no competitors.

According to the Arbitrator Dorjes, each Arbitrator will send people to investigate one after another, and the people found have their own magical powers. They are not the first batch, and if they fail, they will definitely not be the last batch.

Lynn was holding the old clothes, which were old Riddle's daily clothes when he was alive. It was specially used by the vampire Lestat who was good at breath tracking magic. It was also a sign of Dorje's sincerity.

Based on the information provided temporarily, the scope of this investigation can be said to be quite large, about the area of ​​a small city.

This is the first stop.

But Lynn already had a plan.

Just in case, he made far more preparations than anyone could imagine.

He walked slowly and without any movement.

The more extroverted goblin stared at him covetously, making no effort to hide his contempt for this vampire who had lived for hundreds of years but had only this much strength. The wizard next to him was very silent.

But the aura that was faintly lingering around him and the vague hostility made Lin En realize that these two guys he had never met before were definitely not unknown little people.

Maybe he is a wizard of the old generation who has the ability to prolong his life.

Thinking of this, he slowed down and stopped beside a big tree with knife marks on it.

"Old man, why did you stop?" asked the goblin.

Lin En said impatiently: "If you can't speak, then shut up, you dwarf, a blind man who only causes trouble."

"you--"

"Calm down, Baladuk." The wizard, who had remained silent from beginning to end, reached out to stop his partner. "Did you find anything, Mr. Lester?"

"That's more like it... Come and take a look. This was probably left by our competitor, only a few days ago at most."

Lynn said in a smug tone, imitating the old vampire's self-importance perfectly.

The duo approached with suspicion, and only breathed a sigh of relief after checking that everything was correct. The goblin said, "Do you think the traces they left behind mean there's nothing here?"

"That means even if there is something here, it must be well hidden, otherwise they wouldn't send people like us to conduct a dragnet search." Lin En said slowly, and then threw up the old clothes in his hand.

He tapped his fingertips lightly in the air, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew from afar, making a shrill "wooo" sound.

Of course, he had never learned the old vampire's unique breath tracking magic, but with his magical attainments, it was easy for him to imitate a perfect illusion.

The duo, who were different in race and experience, were completely unable to understand the deeper mystery of this magic. They just felt a little tingling at the eerie sound of the wind and subconsciously took a few steps back.

After a while, Lin En stood there with his eyes closed, pretending to pick up his clothes that had fallen to the ground, and looked with disdain at the two people who had retreated more than ten meters.

"Look at how brave you are! Let's go to the next stop. There should be nothing here, only the smell of animals."

Before he finished speaking, he had already left. The two people in the distance did not dare to delay and hurried to catch up. However, they arrived at the next stop, an abandoned village at the foot of the mountain, a little slower than Lin En.

The technique of Apparition displayed by Lin En amazed them even though their hands were stained with blood. They secretly made some calculations in their hearts and dared not to be disrespectful anymore.

They followed Lin En carefully, being vigilant of every blade of grass, every tree, every house and every door around them.

This is Scotland. The place where Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the world, and perhaps the most powerful wizard in hundreds of years, lives is only a hundred kilometers away. Who wouldn't be nervous?

Izar, with his nerves tense, did not let his guard down for a moment and searched the entire village room by room, and then he saw the irritation on the vampire's face.

"This isn't the place either. What on earth is this idiot Dojes doing?!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lester." Wizard Izar said calmly, "According to the information from the Judge, the person who secretly took the bones away is likely to have great magical power. Although I don't know his specific motive for not destroying this thing, it must have been hidden."

“Tsk…” Lin En snorted in disdain. “You just want to make a deal with that dangerous guy, but throughout history, there has never been an ambitious person who didn’t fail in such a thing.”

"Perhaps so, but it has nothing to do with us." Izar said softly, "We just want our own rewards."

His tone was calm, but Lynn could already hear a little anger and impatience, although he hid it well.

As time goes by, this tension, impatience and hidden fear will make the two originally rational people become neurotic. This is due to Dumbledore's reputation and also Lin En's purpose.

He pretended not to notice anything and led the two towards the third suspicious area.

No one can say anything. After all, this was a detection and confirmation completed by the Leviathan top leaders using some unknown mysterious magic, and the previous team might have done the same.

Only Lynn himself knew the truth behind this clearly - there were no remains of old Riddle here at all. There was a trap prepared for Voldemort, but it was not time to activate it yet.

Time flies and it is already late night.

When Lin En also proved that there were no useful clues in the seventh area, and only the last wasteland forest was left to be investigated, not only did the goblins show anger and unwillingness, but the wizard Izar finally revealed his restless side and began to stamp his feet and pace impatiently.

The looks they gave Lin En became more and more unfriendly, but Lin En was still faithfully playing the role of a vampire who was arrogant because of his seniority. He looked completely unaware and ordered the two men to work for him in a domineering manner.

Finally, in the last exploration area, another round of magic that the two were tired of seeing was performed, and Lin En smiled.

"Maybe that thing is hidden here." Feeling the gazes of the two people who were getting closer and closer, he said softly, then took out a small bottle of white powder from his arms and sprinkled a little on the ground.
