Chapter 483 Seeing the Mask Again

"I said! I said everything!"

Clark shouted, his voice became sharp due to his fear.

But he still shouted out those words at the last moment, and it was because of this that the holy sword that wanted to take his life stopped and floated quietly in front of him, with the tip of the sword against his forehead emitting a dazzling light.

Clark felt that his head was about to explode, but he did not dare to move. He could only stand stiffly in place, his eyes instinctively looking at the tip of the sword between his eyebrows, which made him look a little cross-eyed.

But George and Fred did not laugh at Clark's kung fu at this moment. Before, they were hit by Clark's petrification spell for a long time in the sky, and now they also cast two petrification spells viciously, making Clark freeze in place, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

Mike slowly floated to the ground, waved his hand, and the holy sword fell into his hand again.

"Take him with you, let's go, there's another big guy over there that needs to be tied up."

"Did you capture that Thunderbird alive?"

George and Fred looked a little surprised. The book "Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them" clearly records the character flaws of Thunderbirds. This creature is too proud and therefore never surrenders.

Unless one's strength is enough to completely crush a Thunderbird, it is impossible to capture it alive. For this reason, poachers in North America usually bring back corpses of Thunderbirds, and rarely capture live ones.

"Don't talk about this, let's go, or we'll be in trouble."

Mike frowned and said, and then he looked meaningfully in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.

At the same time, Dumbledore and Snape in the Hogwarts principal's office were concentrating on a huge crystal ball placed on the coffee table with a small red pillow underneath. In the crystal ball, the scene of Mike and others subduing Clark was playing.

Suddenly, Dumbledore and Snape frowned, because Mike in the crystal ball turned his head to look at them, and it felt like he had discovered their existence.

Snape's nose twitched, and he turned his head to look at Dumbledore beside him, as if asking.

But Dumbledore ignored him at all, just shook his head and motioned him to continue watching.

But there was nothing interesting to see next. Mike, George and Fred first put out the remaining flames in the forest to prevent the wildfire from spreading.

Then he brought Clark to the Thunderbird, used the magic wand to command the black stone chain to tie Thunderbird and Clark together, and finally used the floating spell to control the man and the bird to leave the range of Hogwarts.

As soon as they left, the picture in the crystal ball disappeared. This treasure passed down by the four giants was not omnipotent. It could only monitor the places within the range of Hogwarts with the help of the huge magic contained in the Hogwarts Castle, but could not see other places.

Dumbledore leaned back on the soft cloth chair, his brows furrowed, his eyes still fixed on the crystal ball that had turned gray again, as if he was deep in thought.

Snape, who was standing by, just looked at Dumbledore quietly. Compared with Dumbledore, his expression was much better. Snape even wanted to laugh, a gloating laugh. After all, he hated Dumbledore, the old man. If it weren't for him, Lily wouldn't have...

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He saw clearly that the old man in front of him was now furious and almost went berserk.

The "surprise" Mike gave Dumbledore was so big that even he, an unrelated person, was a little surprised.

At the first moment of the conflict between Ravenclaw, the whole Hogwarts came alive. A large number of students who did not wear any college logos rushed out of the lounges, auditoriums and even classrooms of various colleges and rushed out of the castle. This sudden change surprised everyone in Hogwarts. They did not understand why these students who usually behaved very normally suddenly did this.

In the face of other people's questioning, these people just said that they were summoned by the boss!

Dumbledore knew very well that the boss they were talking about was Mike. Not long ago, Mike recruited a large number of students as interns with the "Los Santos Student Aid Foundation" as the core management agency. As long as these students did not make any major mistakes during their remaining study period, they could become formal employees of the security company under the Los Santos Group after graduation.

This matter was actually carried out with the approval of Dumbledore, and many students were even recruited through his and other professors' recommendations.

At that time, Dumbledore was indeed very happy to see the promotion of this matter. After all, there are indeed very few jobs in this extraordinary period, and he did not want to see his students unemployed as soon as they graduated.

But now, he regretted it.

Because Mike recruited too many people, he almost bought all the Muggle-blooded and even a large part of the mixed-blood graduates of Hogwarts this year and next year!

And these interns just showed amazing tactical qualities.

In addition, the company Mike used to recruit them was called security, but it was actually an armed violence organization. This made Dumbledore wonder if Mike used Hogwarts as an arsenal, wanted to recruit soldiers here, and then let them fight Voldemort!

All of the above are actually trivial matters. After all, even if Mike didn't do this, Dumbledore was ready to unite the students of Hogwarts to resist at the last minute.

But at the same time as these Hogwarts students took action, a team of dozens of elite wizards and hundreds of ordinary wizards also came to the vicinity of Hogwarts. They dispersed and surrounded the Hogwarts area in a fan shape. This was clearly to help Mike intercept the assassin!

This really shocked Dumbledore. You know, these troops are not like the newcomers in Hogwarts. From the momentum they exude, Dumbledore can feel that these people are definitely professionally trained combat wizards!

When did it start? How could the power that Mike possesses be so huge?

Dumbledore couldn't help but fall into deep confusion and worry. Judging from the current situation, Mike has already mastered enough power to compete with the Ministry of Magic.

Although Mike said that he did this entirely to fight Voldemort, if Voldemort is really annihilated in the future, won't Mike's body really nourish the source of evil called ambition by then?

Thinking of this, Dumbledore frowned a little tighter.

"You look troubled."

Dumbledore looked towards the source of the voice and saw Snape's face that was gloating.

He sighed softly and said in a hoarse and weak voice:

"Yes, sometimes it is a trouble when children become too outstanding."

"Haha!"

Snape finally couldn't help laughing out loud. He enjoyed the sad expression on Dumbledore's face very much.

Snape's behavior was undoubtedly very rude, but Dumbledore didn't care about it. After all, he knew very well that what he owed Snape might not be repaid in his lifetime, so he just shook his head expressionlessly and said nothing.

But Snape was not going to let him go, and continued:

"Perhaps, you should check your promising child carefully."

Dumbledore looked at Snape in confusion.

"I recently discovered something very interesting. Among the interns Mike recruited at Hogwarts this time, there is not a single pure-blood! Not only that, there are also few pure-blood wizards in his so-called Los Santos Group. The only pure-bloods who are still in the core class are the Weasley brothers who are ideologically inclined towards Muggles."

Dumbledore stretched the muscles on his face helplessly, waved his hands and said,

"This is not a strange thing. Most pure-bloods have their own network of connections and wealthy families. They prefer to work in places like the Ministry of Magic. As long as they have a choice, I believe they will never choose to work for a wizard of Muggle descent."

"What a coincidence! I thought so too at the beginning." Snape adjusted his cuffs and said in a singing tone, "Until not long ago, a Slytherin student came to me. I know this student very well. He comes from a pure-blood family that has fallen on hard times. A family of six lives in an ancestral home that is so dilapidated that it leaks. He came to me crying and told me that the people at the Los Santos Student Fund rejected his application."

Snape paused deliberately when he said this. He looked at Dumbledore, whose interest had been piqued, with a malicious look, and finally spoke again at the urging of the other's eyes.

"At first I thought he was rejected because of his lack of ability. After all, his grades were so bad that he was not even qualified to attend my advanced class. But he later told me that a staff member looked at him arrogantly and said, 'We refuse to recruit any pure-blood wizards here.' Yes, you heard it right, Dumbledore. My expression when I heard this was almost exactly the same as yours. But although it was unbelievable, I can guarantee that this is the fact. I used Legilimency at the time."

"You mean..."

Dumbledore pondered, and his face became darker at this moment. What Snape told him brought him a huge shock and made him have some bad guesses.

But Snape obviously didn't mean to continue the conversation. He stood up with a wicked smile on his face, and said as he walked out of the office:

"Again, Dumbledore, be careful of your promising child. That guy...may be the same type of person as Tom."

"Bang!"

The door of the office was heavily closed, and the office returned to silence.

At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened. The bright moonlight poured into the office from the window, illuminating Dumbledore's gloomy face.

...

In the Masonic Secret Realm, Benjamin and Jeraka were treating the thunderbird. It was seriously injured. Mike's sword directly pierced the hard bones on its wings, causing it to be unable to fly for a short time.

But compared to the physical pain, it seemed to be more mentally injured. Now its pupils were dim and its body had no reaction to the pain. It looked like it had no desire to live.

In the room next to the two, the Weasley brothers were watching Clark. Now the seventh-year head of Ravenclaw was tied to a chair, staring at a magic lamp not far away with a silly smile on his face. Crystal saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, and finally dripped into a puddle of water on the ground.

"Fred, is he stupid?"

"I think so, George." Fred stroked his chin and said in a funny tone, "No matter who is first fed a large cup of truth serum and then has his brain turned over by strong Legilimency, he will become a little abnormal. This is normal." As a

Ying countryman, George was amused by Fred's last standard Ying joke. After laughing, he winked at Fred and said:

"But I think he may be pretending. Think about it, maybe he thinks that as long as he becomes an idiot, we will not do anything to him. What do you think?" "

It's possible. Maybe we should go through the previous process with him. Of course, I don't mean to take revenge on him, even though he made us so miserable before."

"I agree with your opinion, but we'd better wait a while. After all... Mike doesn't look very happy."

After that, the two of them turned their eyes to Mike in the corner of the room.

At this time, Mike was sitting at the desk, staring at a black wooden eagle head mask. Mike had just searched Clark's traceless stretch pocket, and found a mask in addition to some daily necessities and normal healing potions.

The mask itself was actually nothing special, just an ordinary wooden mask, but Mike stared at it for half an hour.

Because he had seen a similar mask before.

That was the night when Voldemort was resurrected. In addition to Mike and Voldemort, there was a third party who appeared in Riddle's cemetery that night. Those wizards were powerful and their purpose was suspected to be to kill Voldemort who had not yet resurrected. They also wore masks similar to the one in front of them. The only difference between them was the different patterns on the masks.

This made people wonder if these people were from the same force.

This was originally a good thing, after all, Clark had been caught by Mike as their tail.

But after some interrogation, Mike realized that he had thought things too simply before.
