Chapter 278 Infiltrating the Ministry of Magic

What responded to Lu Ren was a loud dragon cry: Noble said he could find Azkaban.

Lu Ren nodded in relief, and then watched as Noble spread his wings and soared into the sky. His huge body gradually turned into a small black spot in the night sky.

This kind of scene should be rare. After 30 years, a 15-meter-long unknown flying object is swaying in the airspace of a certain country. If the country does not find it within a quarter of an hour, it is the negligence of the Ministry of National Defense of that country.After the advent of global informatization, the fire dragon may no longer be able to roam freely like it is now.

In fact, so far, the Ministry of Magic has been working hard to limit the living range of the fire dragons, and the fire dragons are all confined to the fire dragon protection area.There are only four protected areas in the European magical world: Romania, the Hebrides, the mountains of Wales, and Sweden, all of which are inaccessible places.Domestic fire dragons are also not allowed. As early as 1709, the wizarding conference officially passed a bill prohibiting dragon breeding.In other words, if Lu Ren didn't find a way to take Norber into his body, it is very likely that he will have to live in Azkaban for a while.Of course, hiding in the Forbidden Forest can also be considered a side-ball.

The Ministry of Magic is consciously restricting their activities, trying to erase them from Muggle sight as much as possible, but how long can they hide?
But the future of the fire dragons is not what Lu Ren has to worry about now.He seized the time, returned to Hogwarts, and sneaked into Hogsmeade through the secret passage behind the one-eyed witch statue on the fourth floor.

When he came to the cellar of the Honeydukes Candy Store, it was almost one o'clock in the morning at night. Honeydukes had closed and the shop was empty.Lu Ren slipped out of the store - he wanted to borrow the Floo network in the store, but he couldn't find a fireplace connected to the Floo network in the public area.

So he could only go to the main street of Hogsmeade, covered his face with a hood, turned a stone on the side of the road into an old suitcase, and stretched out his wand.

With a deafening bang, a bright light suddenly shot over, illuminating the dark street as if it were daytime.A second later, with a creak, a pair of huge wheels and headlights stopped in front of Lu Ren.A bright purple, three-decker bus appeared out of nowhere, with Knight Bus written in gold letters on its windshield.

A conductor in a purple uniform opened the door and jumped out: "Welcome aboard the Knight Bus - the emergency transport used to transport wizards in trouble. Just hold out your wand-holding hand and get on board." , we can take you anywhere you want. My name is Stan Sampak, and I'll be your conductor tonight—"

He looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of big protruding ears and a few pimples dotted on his face.

Lu Ren walked into the carriage.

"How much does it cost to go to Diagon Alley in London?" Lu Ren asked under his breath.

"Nine Sickles, you can eat chocolate if you pay twelve, and you can get a hot water bottle and a toothbrush if you pay thirteen, you can choose the color you want."

Lu Ren had no interest in chocolates, toothbrushes and hot water bottles. After paying the fare for Jiuxike, he carried his "box" and walked towards the depths of the carriage.

There were no seats in the car, and there were six or seven beds with brass frames beside the curtained windows.Candles were burning on brackets beside each bed, illuminating the plank walls.

Lu Ren casually found a corner bed and lay down to rest.

Lu Ren was lucky today, there were not many people in the car, and the bus almost went straight to London.

The Knight Bus staggered through the darkness, brushing away shrubs and garbage cans and phone booths and trees—without damaging them, the streetlights and mailboxes and garbage cans that jumped out of the way as the car passed, Wait for the car to drive by and return to the original position.Lu Ren lay on his back on the bed, his stomach churning.

Fortunately, before Lu Ren spit it out, the Knight bus arrived at Diagon Alley and stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron.Lu Ren jumped down the steps with his suitcase in his hand. He wished he could get out of the car as soon as possible. Now he would feel nauseous just thinking about his experience on it.

For the rest of the journey, Lu Ren could only walk on foot, but fortunately, the Ministry of Magic was not too far from Diagon Alley.

And when Lu Ren was riding a bicycle on the streets of London to the Ministry of Magic, Noble had already arrived in Beihai.

In the middle of the North Sea, there is a small island where strong wind and waves are the main theme.But in the night wind tonight, there was an ominous aura, but the half-mad prisoners couldn't detect it—unknown?Azkaban lacks everything, but everything is unknown.

But they soon knew that there were guests on the island.

Noble landed on the island, showing her original size. In an instant, the entire beach was covered by a huge dragon, and the Azkaban Prison not far from the beach was also shrouded in shadow.

The dementors entrenched in the prison noticed something. They emerged one after another, and then saw a dragon head the size of a truck head towards them, with its mouth wide open and a little red light deep in its throat.

"Roar!"

The flames lit up the entire island.

At the same time, in the Ministry of Magic, the Minister of Magic Crouch has assembled all the elite forces he can muster, and is preparing to go to Hogwarts. At this time, a small note flew into his hand, and he just looked down. , his complexion changed drastically, and he said to his subordinates: "Everyone, follow me to Azkaban, Scrimgeour, take two of you to Hogwarts."

After the order was issued, the employees of the Ministry of Magic rioted for a while, but the minister's order was quickly carried out. Soon, the chaotic hall became silent and empty.

Not long after Crouch and the others set off, Lu Ren arrived at the Ministry of Magic and came to the dilapidated street where the dump truck full of garbage was still parked, not far from the dilapidated telephone booth.The street lights here were all working, which surprised Lu Ren. Under the dazzling yellow light of the street lights, everything seemed to have lost its color.

Lu Ren walked into the telephone booth and entered the five numbers six, two, four, four, and two on the dial pad. This is the number corresponding to the word "magic" in the Jiugongge. With the dial pad whirring back to the original A woman's indifferent voice sounded from the phone booth.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and business."

"James Bond, come here to work overtime." Lu Ren made up a name casually.

"Thank you," replied the woman's voice, "guest, please take the badge and pin it to your clothes."
