Chapter 255 253 Prisoners Walking Out of the Tower

Chapter 255 253. Prisoners walking out of the tower

The person who got their news was the younger brother of the Lestrange brothers, Rabastan.

Even though this area of ​​water near the Arctic Ocean is nothing compared to the real oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it is not something that the Death Eaters can keep an eye on all the time.

Rodolphus analyzed that if Jon and his team's destination was still at the end of the Arctic, then even if they deviated from the route, they would not be too far away, and they would definitely still follow this shortest route in the center.

Therefore, he divided the sea into two parts, east and west, according to the central route. The west is from the middle boundary of the Norwegian Sea to the east coast of Greenland, and the east is from the middle boundary to the west coast of Norway.

Rodolphus led people to search the entire west, Rabastan was responsible for the entire east, and at the end of the Arctic Ocean, some people were left just in case.

His arrangement was safe and sound. Even if the Death Eaters were short of manpower and could not cover the entire sea area, they could quickly search due to the convenience of Apparition, and once people in one place found a problem, people in other places could quickly provide support.

It was under such an arrangement that Rabastan, who was in charge of the entire eastern Norway area, received news that a wizard ship claiming to be from Durmstrang School of Magic was sailing near the northern coast of Norway.

As soon as he saw this report, Rabastan noticed something unusual.

It's not that he could see any problems from this brief information, but according to the current situation, Durmstrang's position was opposed to Voldemort.

A magic school that indulged students in studying black magic and never recruited Muggle students in rumors was opposed to Voldemort who implemented a pure-blood policy. This was actually something that many people who didn't know the truth couldn't understand.

But in fact, the reason for this situation was just one person.

A demon who was once expelled from Durmstrang and disrupted the entire magic world fifty years ago.

However, he became a loser later. According to the crime he committed, he should not be able to leave the tower called "Nuumengard" for the rest of his life. However, nine years ago, half a year after the fall of Hogwarts Castle, the tower located in the deep forest of Austria suddenly collapsed.

And the prisoners who imprisoned themselves in it disappeared without a trace, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Over the years, according to Voldemort's orders, there has actually been a team of Death Eaters investigating the news of the loser. They found some signs in Northern Europe, such as the disappearance of Gregorovitch, a wand family as famous as the Ollivander family in the UK, and the re-activation of the organization "Witch Party (official name of the Saints)" that should have been forgotten in history, all of which showed that the man who walked out of prison did not have any idea of ​​living in peace with the world.

However, Voldemort's attention has been on how to plot against France in recent years. He did not make any in-depth layout for Northern Europe. He just won over some magic ministries whose political inclinations were inclined towards pure blood, and asked them to suppress this force that was gradually rising again in Northern Europe.

But these people couldn't go against the former devil after all. Just this year, when Voldemort showed his hand and swallowed up the whole of France, Durmstrang also had a new headmaster named "Gellert Bagshot" take office, and joined the wizard line led by Dumbledore.

After all, he was still a little worried about the impact that would be caused if the surname "Grindelwald" reappeared in the magic world. After all, fifty years ago, the movement and taboos he made were too big, much bigger than Voldemort's now. It can be said that he wanted to break the sky of the magic world.

It was precisely because of this that the situation became a world-wide enemy.

Even now, once the news of his open and aboveboard come out, it will bring great trouble to Dumbledore's side. Just the behemoth separated from Europe by an ocean-the American Magical Congress, will never allow such a thing to happen. In any case, this devil who once trampled on the face of the Congress must be re-imprisoned or directly killed.

That's why Grindelwald chose "Bagshot", the surname of another of his relatives, and did not appear directly on the front battlefield in France, but has been providing logistics for Dumbledore and others in Northern Europe.

But even if many Death Eaters ridiculed the former devil for his performance and turned into a timid and toothless tiger, everyone actually understood that the man must be accumulating his strength again.

Although his position seems to be the same as Dumbledore's, many people still doubt that he and Dumbledore can't get along, otherwise he would not summon his former subordinates to let the "Witch Party" buried in the dust of history reappear.

What exactly is his current thinking and purpose, no one knows for the time being, but what Rabastan knows is that since they belong to Durmstrang, the people on this entire ship must be Grindelwald's men.

If they are Grindelwald's men, they are Voldemort's enemies, and they may be the culprits of all this!

This is the source of Rabastan's suspicion. Therefore, as soon as he received the news, he first verified all the information about Durmstrang.

Finally, some clues were found in a daily newspaper from the Finnish wizarding community.

It was a report before Christmas last year, and it also occupied the front page of this newspaper, detailing that Spence Johnson, the professor of Transfiguration at Durmstrang, led students who could not go home for Christmas to go out to sea on a boat for a different Christmas holiday.

This report provided some evidence for the wizard on the ship who claimed to be a professor at Durmstrang School, and judging from the time the ship sailed, it was unlikely that they went to Azkaban Island to capture two Aurors. Not only did the time not match, but the distance was too far.

The location of Durmstrang has always been a secret, but the general location should be in the northernmost part of Europe, the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and the north of Sweden or Norway.

If you go to sea from this location, it will take a long time just to sail to Azkaban, and the time does not match. This undoubtedly reduces some of John's suspicion, but now the Lestrange brothers have been killed by Voldemort. Even if there is only a slight possibility, they will go to verify it at all costs.

So that afternoon, Rabastan personally led his men to meet Helki and Heinz near the coast of Norway.
