Chapter 240 238 The Contract that Disappeared Like the Wind
Chapter 240 238. The contract that disappears like the wind
In the dark clouds, a gap was broken at some point, revealing a bright starry sky.
Sir Stocker looked at the flickering points of light, as if his whole world was left with only these unreachable things.
Under the sea, the Union 3 spacecraft hidden under the tower was activated with some unknown program. It rushed out of the sea, like a sharp knife splitting bamboo, and continuously destroyed the tower named "Star" from bottom to top.
The whole world was shaking. The elf Labir could have taken his master away from here at any time, but in the end he chose to respect the old knight's wishes and stayed on the tower with him and his dream.
The Union 3 spacecraft, which had been kept in the sea water but had never been released from the sea water, seemed to be under great pressure. The fuel-generated boost only allowed one-third of it to emerge from the sea at most!
Sir Stocker laughed and opened his arms as if to embrace everything in front of him!
"Starry sky! Is there anything more beautiful than you in this world?"
The next moment, an explosion loudly rang out that was enough to make the sky tremble!
The sea surface within a radius of hundreds of meters was boiling, and the entire tower was engulfed in the red flames that kept rising and tearing the air!
The impact of the huge explosion caused a huge wave on the sea!
The waves that were much higher than any wall in the world rushed up to the sky, and then fell to the sea like a waterfall!
Although Hogwarts had deviated in direction, it had not escaped the range of the explosion.
However, the moment the shock wave that spread in all directions touched the hull of Hogwarts, a transparent light shield loomed on the surface of the hull, causing violent ripples, and finally saved the entire ship from direct damage.
It was just that the shaking of the hull caused by the aftermath of the explosion and the sea water that kept raising waves could not be isolated by this protective magic.
Fortunately, Jon had asked all the students to return to the cabin in advance, stay in their dormitories, and hold on to the four-poster beds nailed to the ground. Therefore, although the hull shook violently, it did not have a greater impact on the students.
Jon did not return to the cabin. He floated in the air, his feet were not on the deck, and therefore he was not disturbed by the shaking. He looked at Sir Stoke and watched him go on his last journey.
He was impressed by the purity of the old knight's ideals, and was also very ashamed of Voldemort's actions.
Because of the contract, he had no way to force Sir Stoke to do things for him by magical means, so he used the "exchange" method to complete the contract, and brought this spaceship that he didn't know how to get as his prepaid "deposit".
But the contract that Sir Stoke helped him to complete was completed, and the promise Voldemort made was tied to his entire success.
The vehicle to go to space, the spaceship, was sent to Sir Stoke by him.
But this kind of thing is extremely complicated, and it is even more troublesome to take off and fly into space. It is impossible for wizards to control it, and it is not something that can be solved by catching one or two Muggles.
Unless Voldemort not only rules the wizarding world in the future, but also turns all Muggles into slaves of slaves, then Sir Stoke's dream will have a chance to be realized.
Otherwise, no matter how shocking this thing is, it is just a large toy hidden under the water.
What's more, Voldemort has added some secret means to it.
Jon can roughly guess that Voldemort should have connected some magic between the contract and the spacecraft. Once the stone slab is damaged and the contract is taken out, the spacecraft hidden under the tower will be automatically started.
It is unmanned under the sea, and no one assists in taking off. There is no possibility of successful ascension. The only thing that will happen is that it will explode on the spot, killing all the living beings in the tower.
And the contract will drift into the sea because it has magical protection, waiting for the day when Voldemort finds it again.
From the beginning to the end, Voldemort had no intention of making a fair deal with Sir Stocker. After he learned about the spaceship from Sir Stocker, he should have done a detailed study and found that if he could not rule the Muggles, it would be a pipe dream to control this big guy to the sky.
So Sir Stocker has been kept in the dark. Even if Voldemort can finally rule the world, it will be many years later. It is still unclear whether he will remember what he said in this tower by then.
The explosion of the entire spacecraft and the tower continued to affect this sea area.
But the direction of the Hogwarts did not change at all.
Jon looked at the tower that had disappeared, and a huge mushroom cloud rose.
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky in pieces, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, like a silent farewell ceremony.
There was a faint sad song around.
Those were the mermaids mourning, they were mourning the tower that once stood in the wind and rain, and mourning the elegant and humorous old knight.
"Your ideals and greatness are no less than Dumbledore's, sir."
In the wind, snow and waves, Jon murmured in a low voice, a soliloquy that sounded like a eulogy.
"No one will forget you. There has never been a wizard in the history of magic who has such an interest in the starry sky that they have become accustomed to. Your name will be left behind and remembered by all those who come after you."
He took a deep breath and took out the old parchment, which was still clear and undamaged even in the rain and snow.
"But someone needs to pay the price for your death, and they will definitely pay the price!"
He suddenly clenched the five fingers holding the contract!
The ring on the finger shone with a faint light, and then the magic on the old parchment disappeared instantly!
The contract that had lasted for more than ten years was destroyed, and the parchment was like a crushed dead leaf, turning into countless scattered fragments, accompanied by the wind and snow, flying into the surging waves...
Under the same night sky, on the coast connected to the sea, Voldemort, who was originally suppressing Dumbledore and looking for an opportunity to completely solve the biggest trouble in his life, suddenly trembled all over!
His voice was mixed with unprecedented fear and roar!
"Who did you let go to that sea! What did he do! What did he do!!!"
