Chapter 625: Fisherman Raven
Chapter 625: Fisherman Raven
The dementors of Azkaban have been having an extremely exciting time recently.
Back then, Grindelwald raided Azkaban, causing a large number of Death Eaters to escape. Since then, this prison, which is famous in the wizarding world, has never been full again.
Due to the severe lack of "food", these dementors have been in a state of hunger for a long time.
The number of prisoners in the prison can only keep their population from shrinking, but when it comes to development and growth... that is simply a pipe dream.
In such a difficult situation, whenever the Aurors opened the heavy door, the dementors all swarmed up with high spirits.
After all, for them, the "fresh food" that has just been delivered is far more delicious than the "leftovers" that are currently being imprisoned.
The result is hell,
Literally,
The dementors didn't know who the mysterious figure who exuded the aura of the underworld was.
But this does not prevent them from feeling extreme fear and awe in their hearts.
There is no other reason. A few years ago, this ghost who returned from the underworld used some kind of weird and unpredictable spell in front of many dementors to summon a group of supernatural beings of unknown origin (what? You said that thing is Patronus? Fooling the Dementors?).
Like hungry tigers, these evil spirits tore several small dementor leaders to pieces with their sharp teeth, and then brutally chewed and devoured them into their stomachs.
The tragic scene at that time seems to be vivid in their minds, and the screams of their companions still echo in their hearts.
Due to the tragic deaths of many small bosses, many Dementors who originally belonged to the Second Ward were able to fill their vacancies and were promoted to the First Ward.
However, what was unexpected was that not long after, the monster from the underworld broke into their lair in a grand manner.
Could it be that he came here to look for food?
The Dementors have no way of knowing the answer;
But the instinct deep in their hearts drove them to hide immediately until they could no longer feel the terrifying aura that made the monsters stand on end and tremble with fear before they dared to appear.
Fortunately, it seems that the man just came to inspect with the "chief chef"?
This made the Dementors feel a little lucky, but this feeling did not last long.
What replaced it was extreme annoyance and confusion.
I don’t know why, but lately there’s been an alluring “aroma” suddenly filling the air.
Then it will quickly disappear without a trace. It must have been snatched away by some skilled guy.
Similar situations have happened frequently in Azkaban recently.
With a "whoosh" sound and a strange sound, the irresistible aroma wafted out from a certain corner again.
The dementors finally saw with their own eyes the mysterious object that spread the charming fragrance all over the first prison area - it turned out to be a mass of matter condensed by magic power!
It was like a crystal clear gem that fell right next to the Dementor's mouth.
The dementor instinctively opened its hole-like mouth and took a deep breath.
As if it was about to suck the whole world into its body, the small ball flew into its mouth like a frightened bird without any resistance.
Immediately afterwards, the dementor's eyes became extremely vigilant. It looked around nervously, for fear that other similar people would notice that it had obtained this delicious food.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual around it, it felt a little relieved.
After all, this "delicious food" has already fallen into its belly, and the surrounding dementors are very familiar to it - they are not from the dangerous and unpredictable first prison area, but are relatively weak. Old acquaintances from the Second Ward.
In the beginning, it was precisely because of its own strength that it defeated these guys and won the qualification to move into the First Ward.
However, at this moment, it couldn't help but wonder, so where did the dementors who lived in the first prison area go?
Just when the dementor who took the bait was about to rack his brains and think about it, suddenly, a huge force came out of its mouth like an overwhelming force and was transmitted to the whole body in an instant.
It was shocked to find that there was a thread as thin as a hair that was tightly connected to the "sugar pill" that had been swallowed, and the other end of the thread extended towards... a wall?
Before it had time to think deeply, its body was involuntarily dragged towards the wall by this mysterious thread.
And what was waiting behind the wall was the person who made it feel extremely afraid!
What's even more frightening is that there are fifty or sixty balls that are as big as a dementor's head and emit a strange green light floating around that person. There are also many smaller balls. These seem to be the "evil spirits" carried by that person last time?
Following Raven's command, a group of patron saints biting cabbage rushed forward like a pack of hungry hyenas, opening their frightening fangs.
He tightly wrapped around the unfortunate Dementor and quickly tore it into pieces before swallowing it.
After a while, one of the ordinary-sized biting cabbage patron saints began to swell abnormally.
Round after round, its body quickly doubled in size!
There seemed to be some kind of force rolling violently inside it.
Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of "stab",
Two new, normal-sized biting kale patronus tore open the mother body that gave birth to them and jumped out of its open mouth.
Raven turned a blind eye to her new patronus;
Like a fisherman with no emotions, he skillfully hung the bait on the line, then flicked the fishing rod and threw the hook out.
Creatures like dementors are indeed driven by instinct and do not think about where the previous ones have gone.
As long as Raven throws the bait accurately in front of them, they will bite the bait without hesitation.
In this way, after fishing for more than a dozen rods in a row, the number of patron saints around Raven increased by more than a dozen.
But at this moment, he suddenly put down the fishing rod - or rather the magic wand - that he was holding tightly in his hand.
No more fishing.
For a group of only a few hundred dementors, it wouldn't take much of Raven's time to eat this small number of people.
The reason why he still stays in this place is
The primary goal is not to eat all the dementors, that's just a secondary goal.
His real goal lies elsewhere.
In fact, the reason for Raven's stay here is still related to fishing.
But it's not against those stupid black fish-like dementors, but the more cunning and intelligent "big fish".
At this moment, his choice to actively enter the prison was like dropping a fishing rod and sending the bait to the Dementor's mouth.
Next, it depends on when the wily fish takes the bait...
In fact, it doesn't matter even if Halpo doesn't take the bait, after all, the mysterious island of Azkaban itself hides countless secrets, enough for Raven to explore.
It is completely different from the idea that most people think that "dementors are the guards of Azkaban".
In fact, when the Ministry of Magic first discovered the island, those terrifying dementors had already been here for a long time.
Azkaban is the only dementor that exists.
Because this creature has special habits,
A certain little genius from the Ministry of Magic successfully convinced the Dementors who had been living here for generations.
Let them agree to build a prison here and be responsible for guarding the criminals imprisoned here.
In exchange, the dementors gained emotional control over the prisoners and could sustain their lives by devouring the prisoners' emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
However, a key question emerged: Why did such an island breed such a strange creature-dementors?
Raven felt that this was the reason why Gaia asked him to come here, and he did gain a lot from it.
The last time he came here, he was just a student who hadn't even learned the Unforgivable Curse.
At most, he only has ancient magic talents.
But when Raven came here now, he was keenly aware of something abnormal.
