The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link nodded and stepped forward to try to light up the buttons on the top floor of the elevator.

Finally, the 'Guard Hall' three floors down from the Supreme Presbyterian Church was finally lit up.

"laugh--"

The airtight door of the elevator opened, revealing the space inside.

Link and Dumbledore looked at each other, frowned and said:

"This is the garrison hall, where the International Federation of Wizards' garrison troops are stationed. It seems like these people are preparing to close the door and beat the dogs."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to understand the meaning of the idiom "close the door and beat the dog". He shook his head with a smile and said:

"I really don't know where you heard so many weird words, but the meaning is very appropriate. However, I'm not sure who is the dog and who is the dog-beater? Ha! There is nothing to be afraid of!"

After saying that, Dumbledore walked into the elevator first, and Link followed him expressionlessly.

The air-tight door of the elevator closed again. After Link pressed the 'ready' button, the operation indicator light in the elevator came on.

In silence, powerful space fluctuations emanated from the space engine at the elevator level.

Link and Dumbledore each took out a space lock and held it in their hands, ready to activate it at any time.

This was a plan they had already made.

If the rulers of the International Federation of Wizards want to rely on the elevator, a space transmission device, as a trap to get rid of the two of them, then these people are bound to be disappointed.

Because whenever danger comes, Link and Dumbledore only need to squeeze open the space lock in their hands, and the space force field erupting from it can instantly counteract the space power of the elevator space engine.

Then they can rely on their own strength to break through.

But Link and Dumbledore actually didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

It's not that they're afraid of challenges.

But once something like this happens, it will be inevitable for them to completely destroy the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards from the outside.

This will greatly weaken the loot obtained by Link and others after the battle.

However, the ruler of Sky City who currently lives in the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards does not seem to want to see such a scene, so Link and Dumbledore did not receive any attacks in the space teleportation elevator. The elevator was only slightly After swaying for a while, the reminder of arriving at the destination sounded.

"Ding--"

Listening to the crisp sound in his ears, Dumbledore smiled slightly, but instead of relaxing, Link became even more nervous.

In Link's impression, Number 1 didn't care about the integrity of Sky City.

He once destroyed the French Ministry of Magic, turned the French magical world into a hell on earth, and threatened to let Sky City explode to destroy the world.

Such a demon would 100% choose to use the space teleportation elevator to attack them.

Even so, there is a high probability that they will not be killed, but even if the lives of all Sky City are used in exchange for a little damage to Link and Dumbledore, this is still cost-effective for No. 1.

But now they have arrived at the 'Guard Hall' without incident, which further proves Link's previous conjecture - it is not No. 1 who controls Sky City now, and it is even possible that No. 1 is not in Sky City!

However, if No. 1 really left Sky City, how could he get it?

Are you making a fuss in the east and attacking in the west, pulling out all the stops to attack the magic world of the country of Yu?

But that doesn't make any sense.

The Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts and Forlì Castle have been built by Link into absolute safe houses like iron barrels.

Even if No. 1 really finds the location of these places, as long as he dares to rush inside or use force to attack, the space lock arranged by Link will increase its amplitude and release a powerful space force field to block it. Take control.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Link had already been able to lead the army back to the magical world of Yu for defense.

Unless, he has the ability to destroy the entire country of Yu in an instant with powerful power and speed that transcends space.

And it's the kind of destruction that's similar to a disappearing spell, at the atomic level.

But how is this possible?

If he really had this kind of power, there would be no need for him to engage in so many rounds of confrontations with Link and Dumbledore.

Just push Link and Dumbledore flatly.

In addition, Link can still sense the powerful magical presence in this building.

Its strength is almost equal to No. 1.

If No. 1 has left Sky City, then what is this powerful existence?

Could it be that No. 1 instilled all his power into that being, then turned into an ordinary person and escaped?

But this is impossible!How can anyone abandon their martial arts skills before a big battle?

Shaking his head, Link followed Dumbledore out of the elevator.

The building was so strange that he could hardly understand it.

What Link didn't expect was that even stranger things were yet to come.

Because when he stepped out of the elevator, what appeared in front of him was not the scene he had expected, surrounded by layers of garrison troops from the International Federation of Wizards.

Instead it was an empty hall.

In the entire garrison hall, all facilities were intact. Through several transparent glass observation openings, Link could see the neatly arranged standard aircraft and various weapons and equipment in the equipment storage.

Even the green plants in the lobby and the drink vending machines placed in the corners are still functioning normally.

But unfortunately, in the garrison hall where the armed forces were supposed to be guarded, no one could be seen at all.

This made Link and Dumbledore's vigilant gestures in vain.

However, Link and Dumbledore did not relax their vigilance just yet.

The two continued to wander around the garrison hall, while using their mental power to sense the huge garrison hall.

After 10 minutes, they finally put down their wands.

"It seems like there really isn't anyone here."

Dumbledore said with a wry smile.

Link's expression turned cold, and he said calmly:

"Hurry up to the 'Supreme Presbyterian Church' and end all this. The ominous premonition I feel here is getting stronger and stronger."

Dumbledore nodded and took Link to a secret room hidden in the corner of the equipment storage room.

The interior is painted white and there is no furniture. Only an old-fashioned lamp is installed in the center of the ceiling.

A bright red light rope just hung down.

Link is no stranger to this kind of scene. There is also a similar space teleportation device in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic of the United States.

Its function is to repeatedly pull the light cord to switch spaces and achieve the effect of space transmission.

But Link didn't expect that Sky City, which mastered various ultra-high space technologies, would continue to use this method of space transmission.

It seems that these light ropes, which are equivalent to emergency passages, have indeed not been used for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, Link held the space lock with one hand and grabbed the light cord with the other hand.

Following Link's movement, the light cord was pulled and made a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, the color of the walls in this room changed from the original white to black, and returned to its original state after Link pulled the light cord for the second time.

Link did not release the light rope immediately, but asked Dumbledore to leave the room first for observation and exploration.

After all, this was not the Department of Mysteries, and he didn't know whether the effect of the light rope here was the same as that of the Department of Mysteries. If it was different, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen.

Dumbledore returned to the room only a few seconds later and nodded at Link.

"This is supposed to be the teleportation hall of the International Federation of Wizards, but...well, you might as well come and see for yourself."

Dumbledore said with an ugly expression.

After hearing this, Link let go of the light cord and walked out of the room.

The structure of the International Federation of Wizards' teleportation hall is actually similar to the newly built teleportation hall in the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China. They all use a huge space and a ground array transmission method.

The only difference between the two is that the International Federation of Wizards' teleportation hall is more efficient and more concealed, and will not cause as much noise as the Ministry of Magic of the United States.

However, like the previous garrison hall, there was no trace of anyone here.

In the entire huge and empty teleportation hall, only Link and Dumbledore were walking around.

After entering this place, Link also sensed something strange that Dumbledore could not express just now.

That is, the air here is filled with a lingering faint smell of blood.

This smell shouldn't be here in the first place.

Because although this teleportation hall is sealed, it is equipped with a special magic fresh air system that can continuously purify the air in the room.

But now the smell of blood still exists here.

Link could only think of one reason for this.

There was a massacre here not long ago, and hundreds or even thousands of people died here!

"So, this is probably the reason why no one was in the garrison hall before, right?"

Link said calmly, but Dumbledore frowned and said nothing.

Being at the scene of such a massacre, he really couldn't feel better.

Link also made no further attempts to communicate with Dumbledore.

The two of them stepped forward and arrived at the center of the teleportation hall.

There is also a long light rope hanging down from the ceiling here.

Obviously, it is inappropriate and contrary to aesthetics for such a light rope to appear in this position.

Link even felt that these light ropes were placed here intentionally to lead them to a certain place.

Normally, given Link's character, he would definitely treat it with caution.

But at this moment, Link had no patience.

He took a few quick steps and grabbed the light cord. After pulling it twice, the surrounding scenery flashed twice quickly.

After Link and Dumbledore's vision recovered, they were already in the "International Wizarding Secrecy Operations Department" located one floor below the "Supreme Council of Elders".

The so-called 'International Wizarding Secrecy Operations Department' is actually composed of the Office for the Reversal of Occasional Magical Incidents, the Memory Cancellation Command and the Magical Liaison Office.

It is responsible for all the work of the International Federation of Wizards in maintaining the Statute of Secrecy.

On a daily basis, he is not only responsible for guiding the Ministry of Magic of various countries to implement the "Secrecy Act" maintenance work, but also often handles some strange events that the Ministry of Magic of various countries cannot handle.

Therefore, the workload of the "International Wizarding Secrecy Operations Department" is quite large.

This can also be seen from the decoration here.

Different from the seriousness and coldness of the guard hall in front and the white minimalism of the transmission hall, the interior of the 'International Wizarding Secrecy Operations and Assurance Department' is simply a luxuriously decorated junkyard.

There are all kinds of luxurious decorations here, and even the lighting used is the highest quality magic crystal.

But it just doesn't give people even the slightest sense of high-end here.

Because here is chaos.

Various documents and crumpled waste paper were thrown everywhere, coffee cups and all kinds of garbage were also everywhere, and tables, chairs, and furniture were all crooked.

If Link were to describe it, it would be like a work hall that was already messy due to busyness, and then was robbed again, making everything even more messy.

The only difference between this place and the previous two places is that it is also empty.

By this time, Link and Dumbledore had long been accustomed to this strange and empty scene.

The two of them just used their mental power to sweep around the surroundings, and then walked one behind the other, maintaining a vigilant attitude towards a closed stone door in the distance.

Follow the instructions on the light sign downstairs.

Behind that door should be the seat of the 'Supreme Presbyterian Church'.

This kind of space setting is obviously designed to facilitate the staff of the "International Wizarding Secrecy Operations Department" to report to the elders in a timely manner.

At the moment, this is also convenient for Link and Dumbledore.

"Boom--"

As the stone door was pushed open, a wave of space transmission enveloped their bodies.

Link could swear that this was the gentlest space teleportation he had ever experienced in his life.

The teleportation elevator they were riding in front still had a slight vibration.

But in the current teleportation, Link really didn't feel even the slightest shake.

The moment he and Dumbledore opened the door, they felt the surrounding scenery rapidly extending backwards.

When they came to their senses, they were already in a huge auditorium.

At the end of the auditorium, there are nine huge stone thrones.

This should correspond to the nine elders in charge of the International Federation of Wizards and Sky City respectively.

But now, eight of the nine thrones are vacant.

Only on the throne in the center sat a figure wearing a golden crown and his whole body covered in white robes.

"Om-"

The phantom of a huge and ferocious evil beast emerged from behind Link, and Dumbledore's body was also wrapped in bright white-gold holy light.

The two of them entered a fighting state almost instantly.

Seeing this, the figure at the end of the auditorium also stood up from the throne.

As he moved, the patterns sewn with gold thread on the white robe continued to surge, and finally a golden pattern composed of nine overlapping rings condensed on his body.

At the same time, the blood-red face of the figure finally appeared in front of Link and Dumbledore.
