On the last day of July, Kyle and Cedric, who had not gained anything in the morning, decided to temporarily end their mission of hunting Dementors outside after discussion.

The main reason is that since the last time the Daily Prophet published the content about the bounty, most of the Dementors wandering around outside disappeared at once.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they were all converted into Galleons... Although a hundred Galleons are tempting, there are actually not many wizards who can kill Dementors, and not so quickly.

Kyle guessed that most of the disappeared Dementors must have gone into hiding. After all, Death Eaters also read newspapers.

Now that Dementors have transformed from a scourge that everyone fears into a delicious gold Galleon, it is impossible for Voldemort to sit idly by and watch these capable assistants of his being torn apart.

But it’s better this way, at least we don’t have to worry about any more Muggles being affected.

Moreover, after the Dementors hid, it would be easier to catch them all in one fell swoop. The only problem now was to find their specific location.

But this is something Dumbledore needs to consider.

After making the decision, Kyle and Cedric prepared to go back, but before that, they needed to go to the last address on the book to take a look.

This address appeared just a few minutes ago. Apparently someone discovered the Dementors and reported it to the Ministry of Magic.

They have been busy for several days anyway, so this one more thing won’t make any difference.

"Do you think someone will arrive early again this time?" Cedric asked.

"Who knows?" Kyle said, "But this address just appeared a few days ago, so there shouldn't be anyone there yet."

"It's finally over..." Cedric rubbed his forehead, "I don't care, you have to give me three days off this time when I go back."

"Don't you like flying?" Kyle said with a smile, "It's common for Quidditch matches to last a week. You can't be a professional player like this."

"How can that be the same?" Cedric said grumpily. "You don't have to worry about Dementors on the Quidditch pitch."

"That's true..." Kyle shrugged, "But whether you take a holiday or not is not up to me."

"I don't care. Anyway, my salary this month cannot be reduced." Cedric said in a rogue manner.

Kyle was stunned. It was hard to imagine that this was something Cedric could say...

"The holiday matter is not important..." Kyle glanced at him, "It's best to have less contact with Fred and George in the future, and don't learn their bad habits of being sneaky and cunning."

"They are far worse than you." Cedric muttered softly, and the two soon arrived in Hampshire. However, they flew for half an hour at the address and did not find any trace of Dementors. However, they saw three wizards above a wood.

There were two men and one woman, also riding broomsticks, with a large locked box next to them.

Before he got close, Kyle heard their excited chatter.

"A living Dementor is two hundred Galleons. You're lucky."

"Yeah, I didn't expect these guys to become so valuable..."

"It's a pity that there is only one, otherwise I would have really made a fortune..."

No need to guess, the box must contain Dementors.

"It seems someone got here earlier than us." Cedric whispered, "I didn't expect someone could actually capture a Dementor alive. They're pretty powerful."

Kyle nodded.

When faced with dangerous creatures like Dementors, it is much more difficult to capture them than to kill them, because every breath of a Dementor can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of a wizard... unless there are multiple patronuses surrounding it.

There are three of them, and I think they should use this method.

Kyle glanced at the three people who were talking and laughing, and had no intention of going forward to say hello. Instead, he and Cedric turned around and prepared to go directly back to the Ministry of Magic.

However, at this moment, a Bowtruckle suddenly emerged from Kyle's collar and poked his neck with its sharp fingers.

Almost subconsciously, Kyle turned the broom again and hit Cedric next to him.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Cedric was unprepared and almost fell off his broom.

"Kyle, what's wrong with you..." Cedric had just said half of his words when he saw three spells passing by in front of him, and the direction was exactly where Kyle was before.

This needs no explanation.

"Wait!" Cedric subconsciously lifted the Disillusionment Spell and looked at the three people not far away. "We just happened to be passing by. We have no ill intentions and we won't steal your Dementors..."

"Get rid of that extra one!"

Before he could finish his words, three more spells flew over.

Although Cedric tried his best to dodge, a spell still landed on his broom.

A puff of black smoke came out from the tail of the broom, and Cedric staggered down with it.

Just as Kyle was about to pull him, he was blocked by the oncoming spell and had to turn around.

"I didn't expect you to get away with this..." said a bearded wizard among the three people on the opposite side, "You really deserve to be the champion of the Triwizard Tournament."

"Do you know me?" Kyle quickly glanced down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cedric in mid-air had taken out his wand.

"Of course, you are very valuable now." A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of another bearded wizard, "The Dark Lord said that whoever can kill you will receive the highest honor and the most generous reward."

"A generous reward?" Kyle asked curiously, "What is it, 10,000 Galleons?

"If so, we can definitely cooperate."

"Cooperation?" The bearded wizard couldn't keep up with Kyle's train of thought. He really couldn't understand how they could cooperate in this matter.

"It's very simple." Kyle explained: "I'll give you the Polyjuice Potion, and you let the person behind you drink it, and then kill him, then you can get the reward, right? "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. When the time comes, the reward will be 190% to 100%, and you will take the lion's share."

As soon as Kyle finished speaking, the man behind the bearded wizard suddenly became nervous and subconsciously changed the direction of the wand in his hand.

"Idiot!" the bearded wizard yelled.

Then he turned to look at Kyle, "Do you think you can use such a small trick to make us quarrel among ourselves? Don't dream. No one can deceive the great Dark Lord, and no one dares to do so."

"That's right," said the bearded wizard, "and the reward given by the Dark Lord is not something as vulgar as Galleons, which cannot be shared!"

"I don't think Garlon is vulgar." Kyle muttered, "By the way, you guys are not waiting for me here on purpose, are you? If so, how did you know I would pass by here?"

"Stop talking nonsense and kill him quickly?" The witch among the three looked at Kyle viciously, her eyes full of deep hatred, "You should have expected this day to come, when you killed my brother..."

"Your brother?" Kyle was confused. "Who?"

"Amycus Carlo!" screamed the witch.

Carlo? Kyle remembered that this man seemed to be the Death Eater in the Valley of the Giants.

"No, you've got the wrong person!" Kyle said, "It was Hagrid who killed your brother, you should go find him, what does it have to do with me?

"You can't just pick on me because you can't beat the half-blood giant."

"All of you must die!" the witch said crazily, "You are the first one, and they will soon follow you!"

"Are you so confident that you can kill me?"

"Do you think you can get away?" The witch sneered, "Klaus said you are difficult to deal with, but in my opinion you are just that difficult. Besides, there is no one else here who can help you!"

"How about we discuss it?" Kyle stammered, "I'll tell you where Hagrid is, and you go find him first..."

"Shut up, don't think I don't know you're stalling for time!" the witch interrupted him.

"Don't worry, by the time the Aurors arrive, you will have been killed by us.

"Okay..." Kyle spread his hands, "But since you know I'm stalling for time, why are you still talking so much?"

"Avada Kedavra!" A green light suddenly came.

However, the next second, a huge figure appeared in front of Kyle, blocking the flying killing curse.

The pitch-black scales flashed with a faint cold light. When the killing curse hit them, several scales quickly turned into a grayish white color.

But in front of Norbert's huge body, these scales did not have much effect.

"Fire, fire dragon?"

The three Death Eaters were all stunned. The bearded wizard rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

How could there be a fire dragon here?

Before he could figure it out, Norbert, enraged by the killing curse, opened his mouth and spewed a stream of scorching dragon flame at the three of them.

They subconsciously wanted to run, but Kyle was not going to give them this opportunity.

“There are so many obstacles!”

"Fainted!"

In order to avoid Kyle's spell, they had to forcibly change their direction.

Although the other two managed to escape, they were not much better off. The sky is the home ground of the fire dragon, and this gap cannot be made up by riding a broom.

Norbert flapped his wings and rushed towards the nearest Death Eater.

The bearded wizard had never felt that his broom was so slow. In just a moment, he felt himself shrouded by a shadow.

He couldn't help but turned back and shouted:

"I surrender, I, Armor Guard..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish his words, a thick, scaly tail lashed him hard.

With a loud bang, he fell directly to the ground.

Finally, the only witch left was Carol.

It happened so fast that before she could even figure out what was going on, three against one turned into one against one.

Although she wanted to kill Kyle, there was a violent fire dragon behind her and the increasingly high temperature around her made her dare not look back. She just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

The fire dragon was chasing closely behind, getting closer and closer...

However, just as Norbert was about to catch up with Carlo, two more hooded Death Eaters appeared nearby.

Two killing curses struck at the same time, forcing Norbert to stop in mid-air.

Norbert had never been treated like this before, and he swooped down immediately, and the scorching dragon flame rushed towards the place where the two Death Eaters were.

But before that, the two Death Eaters disappeared.

Kyle flew over and calmed down the irritable Norbert.

Although it was unknown who the two Death Eaters who appeared later were, by the time they had held Norbert back, the witch named Carol had already run away.

Kyle didn't plan to chase after him.

If he wanted to, he could definitely catch up with the opponent with the speed of the Firebolt, but he didn't know if there were any ambushes around. For safety reasons, it would be better not to take risks... After all, he was not alone now.

When Kyle fell back to the ground, he quickly found Cedric leaning against a tree.

Although he used a spell to slow down his fall, he was still hit hard.

"How are you?" Kyle asked.

"It's okay." Cedric said through gritted teeth. His leg was twisted into a strange position, probably broken.

"What about you? Are you okay?" He gasped, "And who are those three people?"

"Death Eaters," said Kyle.

"It's those guys indeed." Cedric handed the booklet to Kyle, "I have already notified the Aurors, they should be here soon."

Kyle took the booklet and took a look. There was an extra line of words after the latest address.

"A dark wizard has been found, the situation is urgent..."

This was newly added by Cedric, and the Auror also had several copies of this booklet. In order to avoid wasting time, as long as additions or modifications were made to any one booklet, corresponding changes would also appear in the other books.

This means that the Aurors will be here soon.

"Wait here for a moment." Kyle stood up and walked into the woods.

"Where are you going?" Cedric said anxiously, "It's dangerous, come back quickly."

But Kyle had no intention of stopping, and soon he found the two Death Eaters who had fallen before.

However, to Kyle's surprise, the bearded wizard was still alive after being hit by Norbert's tail and falling from the sky, and even limped and tried to escape.

The Armor Spell must have been completed at the last second...

Kyle didn't think too much about it and just walked over.

"Damn it!" the Death Eater croaked. "The Dark Lord... won't let you go!"

"You don't need to remind me."

Kyle didn't waste any time and directly took out his wand and pointed it at the other party.

"What do you want to do..." The other party broke out in a cold sweat, "You can't... you can't kill me... Dumbledore won't allow it..."

"Legendary!"

The Death Eater's eyes immediately became unfocused.

…

“Snap, snap, snap!”

A few seconds later, a series of crisp explosions were heard all around...the Aurors arrived.

"Oblivion is all!"

"Kyle!" Chris ran over quickly and asked nervously, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Dad." Kyle smiled, "He tried to escape just now, but I caught him."

"Leave it to the Aurors," Chris said, "Come with me, I'll take you to St. Mungo's."

"I'm really fine, I just need to take Cedric away." Kyle said, "But Dad, why are you here?"

"Amos recognized Cedric's handwriting, so I guessed that you encountered Death Eaters." Chris asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"The Death Eaters were probably preparing to take the Dementors away, and we just ran into them," Kyle said.

This is what he saw from the bearded wizard's head.

Kyle originally thought that the other party had set a trap specifically for him, but he didn't expect it to be just a coincidence.

The Death Eaters came to convey Voldemort's message to the Dementors and were responsible for taking them away. Just at this time, he and Cedric also arrived.

The concealing effect of the Disillusionment Charm was not very good during the day. After noticing the two of them, the other party put on such a show, intending to make a big move before leaving and go back to claim credit from Voldemort.

Then the scene just now happened.

However, what Kyle didn't expect was that he was so valuable. No matter whether he was dead or alive, as long as he could be brought back, in addition to becoming a core Death Eater, Voldemort would personally enhance his strength.

This treatment is even better than Harry's. No wonder these people's eyes turned red after seeing him.

At this time, Scrimgeour also came. He looked around and frowned slightly after noticing the place swept by dragon flames.

"This isn't like a normal fire spell."

"It's the Death Eaters." Kyle said angrily, "Those crazy guys are so despicable."

"I see." Scrimgeour nodded, but didn't care too much.

The Death Eaters' black magic is varied and bizarre, and the fire spell is indeed one of their common methods.

Chris on the side twitched his mouth slightly. He glanced at Kyle, but finally said nothing.

Afterwards, Amos Diggory used the portkey to take Kyle and the injured Cedric away and returned to the Ministry of Magic.

After they left, Scrimgeour came to a burnt tree and touched the trunk.

"Chris, come and take a look, this can't be dragon fire."

"Ah, no." Chris also touched the tree trunk, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "The sulfur smell of dragon flames will be stronger, and the adhesion will be stronger. What appears here... should just be a special magical flame."

"That's good." Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief. "If there is another dragon among the Death Eaters, it will be really troublesome."

"Yeah," Chris agreed.

"But your son is really good." Scrimgeour said with a smile, "Facing two Death Eaters, he drove away one and captured another alive. He is simply a natural Auror. It is a bit of a waste of his talent to be in a place like the Minister's office."

"Ahem..." Chris laughed, but soon returned to normal, coughed twice and said, "I have to remind you, Rufus, don't say this in the ministry."

"Of course I wouldn't," said Scrimgeour. "But you should try to persuade Kyle to become an Auror. He's suited to it."

"I will." Chris said with a smile, "But the final choice depends on Kyle's opinion."
