Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 399 Explained
"Dumbledore's arrogance rewarded him, and the Order of the Phoenix deceived me, but I have great respect for the dead, even though I never told anyone that Dumbledore was my idol." Rufus Scrimgeour said slightly indifferently.

Here is a secret room in the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic. The light shining through the dark wall bricks illuminates the room magnificently and brightly, and the elegant and serious decoration makes the place full of solemn atmosphere.

A long table was placed in the center of the secret room, Scrimgeour sat at one end, behind him were elite Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, and on the opposite side of his eyes were silent members of the Order of the Phoenix. It is not difficult to see that the news of Dumbledore's death still makes them feel sad after a day.

When Scrimgeour said these words, the dim light in the burning fireplace suddenly danced, and several figures walked out of it. Seeing these late wizards, Scrimgeour frowned.

"Sorry, we're late."

Kingsley Shacklebolt apologized softly, his elegant temperament was slightly decadent at this moment, and his eyes were often absent-minded.

Scrimgeour nodded in response, then shifted his gaze lightly, and glanced at the people following behind Kingsley Shacklebolt, his narrowed eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't say anything after all.

Kingsley greeted Arthur Weasley, who had come forward from the Order of the Phoenix to preside over the matter, and then waved his hand to tell the people who followed him to sit down. However, seeing that they were all sitting on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, it made him feel ashamed. Scrimgeour frowned slightly.

Gao Feng, who was sitting on the periphery, rubbed his chin, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, watching this scene with great interest, and his eyes swept over the few people who followed Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Headed by Hermione Granger, Ginny, Ron and other red-haired Weasleys, Fleur Delacour, these young wizards with unlimited potential seem to have chosen their own camp, except for Harry Potter. special.

But Harry Potter hadn't come here, otherwise he would have sat on the side of the Order of the Phoenix.

Just after he left last night, Auror Prout led people to catch up with Kingsley Shacklebolt, but it was too late.

Bellatrix Lestrange used Harry Potter as a shield to defeat the scrupled Kingsley, and Bill Weasley was almost hit by the Killing Curse released by him. When Prout arrived, Bellatrix had already threatened Harry Potter to apparate, and then the inexplicable cut off of the Floo network erased the traces of her departure, making Bill Weasley's Tracking clues are cut off directly.

When the news reached Scrimgeour's ears, the Ministry of Communications within the Ministry of Magic suddenly set off a storm.

The Floo Network has been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic since it was developed. Using fireplaces and Floo powder to cross space boundaries is a common method used by wizards based on the Floo Network. Apparition, which is almost the same, naturally Need to use Floo Network to assist.

If there was no Floo Network, Apparition would belong to the category of space magic, and it is an innovative means of modern magic. Before the invention of the Floo Network, there were very few wizards who mastered space magic. After that, it was even more so. Few, and even apparition is only a unique magical method.

Excluding the Floo Network, crossing the space boundary is really an extremely dangerous move. It is the existence of the Floo Network that can protect wizards who cross space, so even if they make a mistake, their lives will not be in danger.

Therefore, the Floo network is particularly important.

The fact that Bellatrix took Harry Potter away was obviously premeditated, and the problem with this matter arose within the Ministry of Magic, which Scrimgeour had regarded as his private land!

Scrimgeour's rage flared up at the Ministry.

It didn't take long before the death eaters who had been hiding so deeply were dug out. Although time inspection proved that the traffic department staff who cut off the flyway network were controlled by the Imperius Curse, the traces of Voldemort's minions were still spotted by experienced Aurors. Be aware, and hold on tight!

To get back to the topic, Mr. Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic, who had only rested for just over three hours after toiling all night and day, was still focused. Always focus before trapping.

The hunt seems to be over, but in fact it is just the beginning. The siege of the Death Eaters was a complete victory, but Voldemort's death was purely accidental, and in the conversation with Van Gogh after the battle last night, he already knew the secret of the Horcrux However, from this point of view, the death of Voldemort only postponed the war, but it was not the end!

"There is no time to mourn Dumbledore! Members of the Order of the Phoenix!"

Scrimgeour glanced at the young man sitting in the middle of the long table who seemed not to be close to any of them. He straightened up with his palms on the clean table, looked to the other side of the long table, and said sharply: "Please explain in detail. Let's find out what happened!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense as if frozen!
Gao Feng, who seemed to be standing outside, squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and glanced at the Order of the Phoenix with his long and narrow eyes. This question from Scrimgeour was what he wanted to ask, and he just followed Scrimgeour's mouth at the moment.

Before breaking up the Order of the Phoenix last night, the Order of the Phoenix was the best partner in his mind. Its composition was not as large as the Ministry of Magic, but it was pure, streamlined and strong in execution. Not only did it have Dumbledore, The legendary wizard who can confront Voldemort head-on, and Snape, a double agent who is trusted by Voldemort, may not be able to catch Voldemort by surprise if planned properly.

It is for this reason that he chooses to work with Dumbledore, yet Dumbledore nearly fails his world quest.

Although he still doesn't know what Dumbledore's plan is, but since he has already done it, he must have already taken care of it, so fortunately Dumbledore's luck is a little bit bad, otherwise he may not even have a chance to make up for it.

Lost Dumbledore, the leader, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​in a low mood. Even though it is only a day away from the tragedy, the grief and mourning cannot be completely subsided, but they have only shown up since last night, as if they have forgotten the purpose of Dumbledore's ambush Such slack behavior really dissatisfied Gao Feng.

Fortunately, he didn't wait at all, and directly transferred the partner to Scrimgeour, and impresses the other party with the information he has - um!Maybe Scrimgeour was full of doubts. After all, although he was a special existence among Aurors, he was still just an Auror. The secrets of Horcruxes were beyond his reach according to common sense, but he didn't care about the peak.

Befriending Dumbledore is to deal with Voldemort, and cooperating with Scrimgeour is to exterminate the Death Eaters. Of course, the survival of the Death Eaters has nothing to do with him. The reason for this is just to avoid the obstacles brought by the Death Eaters.

To be exact, cooperation with Scrimgeour has been dispensable so far, and the only thing he values ​​most is the plan left by Dumbledore.

"Let me explain."

Arthur Weasley didn't seem to be used to being the person in charge, he looked around for a while before speaking to Scrimgeour's stern gaze.

The already quiet secret room suddenly became even quieter, and everyone acted as if they were all listening.

"Mr. Scrimgeour, maybe you already know Voldemort's secret about Horcruxes, but I still have to repeat here, Horcruxes are vital to Voldemort's life!"

Arthur's tone was low and serious, and he said: "According to normal logic, the only way to kill Voldemort completely is to destroy his Horcrux first, so that he can no longer be resurrected. When it comes to Horcruxes, I will talk about them here. , Thank you Mr. Van Gogh for your help with the information about the Horcrux."

After saying this, Gao Feng received dozens of pairs of attention, and he remained calm and unmoved by this.

"It's not important, keep talking, Dumbledore has come up with some way to reverse this common sense." He said lightly.

"Professor Dumbledore has been aware of the Horcrux for a long time, so he has read many ancient magic books, trying to find a way to crack it." Arthur Weasley continued.

"He found it?" Scrimgeour asked hastily, his eyes brightened slightly.

"No, the Horcrux manufacturing method is cruel and evil, but it is impeccable." Arthur Weasley shook his head directly, and then changed the topic slightly: "Of course even so, Professor Dumbledore still has something to gain."

As he spoke, he glanced at the silent and gloomy Alastor Moody beside him, paused slightly and said, "From the ancient magic books, Dumbledore constructed two magic circles, one of which is The one you saw before was specially used to trap the mysterious person, and the other one was before that, Moody stepped into it to destroy the horcrux, and used the magic circle to extract the remnant soul of the mysterious person in the horcrux. The blow to its extremely enlarged soul is also a special connection to lure it into another magic circle, but the most important function of that magic circle is to use the mysterious person's remnant soul to cut off its connection with all Horcruxes. for seven days, so now do you understand Professor Dumbledore's actions?"

Although Arthur Weasley was asking, he didn't need to answer. After saying this, he let out a sigh and sat down.

"Is the magic circle sure to work?"

Scrimgeour's eyes flashed with excitement, but he still asked rigorously.

"Can be sure!"

It was not Arthur who answered, but Alastor Moody, who had been full of anger since he came here.

Facing the staring gaze, 'Mad-Eye' had a ferocious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Voldemort's remnant soul was involved in me, so during that time I could feel what Voldemort felt. .”

"What about now? Can you still feel it?" Scrimgeour's eyes flickered slightly, but his words remained flat as usual.

"Hmph! Put your guard down, Scrimgeour, if I could still feel it now, I definitely wouldn't be here! What's more..."

Moody exposed it mercilessly, snorted coldly to express his disdain, paused slightly at this point, and glanced to the side of the long table with a slightly complicated expression.

"Voldemort has had his head cut off!"

After the emotionally complicated words were finished, Gao Feng once again caught the attention of the wizards present.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly in a cold arc, and he tapped his chin with his finger. He chuckled and stood up. He scanned the scene without fear until he paused on Alastor Moody's face.

"Dumbledore's method is actually a magic circle? This really surprised me."

"Albus's attainments in magic are far beyond the imagination of you and everyone else!" Minerva McGonagall said coldly, frowning beside her.

Gao Feng looked at her, shook his head slightly and said, "It's not important anymore."

These words were still in a gentle tone, but they were also too direct, and even made Minerva McGonagall feel that he was belittling Dumbledore, and she immediately raised her eyebrows and slapped the table for a fit.

"Calm down, Minerva!"

Moody held down Minerva McGonagall's arm, then stared at Gao Feng fiercely and said word by word: "You should remain in awe, Van Gogh, don't think that cutting off Voldemort's head will make you arrogant! "

"Hehe! Like I said, it doesn't matter!"

Gao Feng's voice was slightly cold, and Moody's momentum could not affect him at all. He immediately ignored Mad Eye and other members of the Order of the Phoenix, walked along the long table, and said loudly: "Since Dumbledore's plan was successful, first There seems to be no other choice now, so seize this opportunity to destroy the remaining Horcruxes and completely eliminate Voldemort! Let the magic world regain peace!"

"I support."

Scrimgeour nodded slightly, then stared at Gao Feng and said, "So the primary target is the Horcrux, Van Gogh, how much do you have to say about the Horcrux?"

"How much? How much do you desire to know?"

"Of course all of them!" Scrimgeour said as a matter of course.

"So far, three of Voldemort's Horcruxes have been destroyed."

Gao Feng caressed the things hidden under the windbreaker, cast his gaze towards the Order of the Phoenix, and met the red-haired girl. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up and said, "The first one is Tom Riddle's diary. Miss Sly is still fresh in her memory."

The girl's breath froze when she heard this, her lips pressed together tightly, and a flash of fearful memories appeared in her violently trembling eyes.

Hermione Granger noticed Ginny's strange behavior, quickly grabbed her palm to comfort her, and turned her head to give Gao Feng a hard look.

Gao Feng was unfazed by this and continued: "The second one is Marvolo Gaunt's ring. This ring and Slytherin's locket both represent the past glory of the Slytherin family. Oh! Let me tell you something by the way. Secretly, Voldemort’s mother Merop is the daughter of the Gaunt family, so Voldemort is indeed a pure blood, and even the reason why he is a Parselmouth is because he is a descendant of Slytherin.”

This is indeed a secret, at least it can be seen from the surprised expressions of the wizards present, even Scrimgeour showed a surprised expression.

"This is the unimportant thing!" Minerva McGonagall stood up and shouted at this time to express her dissatisfaction.

"Okay." Gao Feng casually skipped and continued: "Dumbledore destroyed Marvolo Gaunt's ring. If you paid attention, you should have noticed his charred right hand, which is the backlash of black magic. , As for the third Hufflepuff's gold cup, it is what Mr. Weasley mentioned just now."

"Other than that? Did Voldemort have any other Horcruxes?" Scrimgeour asked.

"Of course!"

As he spoke, Gao Feng raised his hand.
