Chapter 73 The Betrayal of the Order of the Phoenix
Azkaban, a small island in the North Sea, has nothing but dementors.
Likewise, since there is no Floo network connection, things like Floo powder will not work.
Under forced circumstances, Wu Ming and Dumbledore could only use continuous phantom movement to reach a nearby island.
"The island where Azkaban is located has a large forbidden air barrier, which cannot be reached by Phantom Movement. Our current location is still 16 kilometers away from there. In the past, we could only cross the sea." Dumbledore found a
A small boat was said to have been left by people who came to Azkaban for a visit.
Wu Ming stood on the beach, watching Dumbledore use magic to make the boat look brand new, and said: "Dumbledore, has that person ever looked for you?"
Dumbledore jumped on the boat, checked the reply, and said without raising his head: "Yes, but I didn't agree!"
"What did he tell you?" Wu Ming was very concerned about this topic and couldn't help but ask.
Dumbledore raised his head slightly and whispered: "That person promised me that as long as I cooperate with him, he will take me out of this world. And if he has the ability in the future, he will cancel the infinite reset of the world and let the world grow freely.
!”
"Why don't you agree?"
Driven by magic power, the boat slowly moved toward the distance, and Wu Ming's question came from the boat.
After hearing Wu Ming's question, Dumbledore thought for a while and explained: "As I said, trust is not cheap. I never think that what he says is credible, and I will do what he asks.
Not even there!”
Dumbledore didn't say what the request was, but Wu Ming could guess a thing or two.
Since the person who replaced Voldemort is a contractor of the Lord God's Space, gaining points must be his biggest goal.
Where do these points come from? They are the main plot characters, even Dumbledore's friends and associates.
Wu Ming could imagine that when the other party made this request, Dumbledore must have been in a complicated mood, not as relaxed as he said.
For the next period of time, Wu Ming did not speak again, and Dumbledore stopped speaking.
The boat drifted farther and farther on the sea. Just as the two of them were looking for a landing, a sudden fire came from the distance.
"That's where Azkaban is, is there a fire?"
Three or four kilometers away, you can already see the flames reaching into the sky, which shows that the fire is definitely not small.
Dumbledore stood at the bow of the boat, controlling the boat with his magic power to speed up and head towards the burning Azkaban.
Five minutes later, Azkaban Prison came into view.
Wu Ming and Dumbledore jumped off the boat and looked at the building engulfed in flames, without speaking for a long time.
The prison was empty, the fire was burning, and not even the dementors guarding the prison were seen, as if they were on vacation.
Needless to say, someone got in first, and the identity of the other party is questionable.
"Professor, is that you, professor?"
Suddenly, there were voices, which aroused Wu Ming and Wu Ming's side glances.
Wu Ming raised his eyes and saw a big black dog with burn marks all over his body, looking at them with pitiful eyes.
"Sirius!"
Seeing this big dog, Dumbledore's eyes were very happy, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked seriously: "What happened?"
"Death Eaters, so many Death Eaters, they attacked Azkaban and rescued everyone!" Sirius Black quickly transformed into a human form and shouted these words.
Upon hearing this answer, Dumbledore's eyes became dull and empty.
Although seeing the flames soaring into the sky and the empty prison, he had already thought of this possibility. However, what made Dumbledore most uncomfortable was the story behind the facts.
"We set off on the front foot, but something went wrong on the back foot. What a coincidence! Dumbledore, no one can know our plan unless someone leaks the secret, what do you think?" Wu Ming glanced at the haggard face in prison uniform.
Black, then looked at Dumbledore.
"I only told the members of the Order of the Phoenix about this operation."
Dumbledore seemed to have aged dozens of years, and it took all his strength to finish this sentence.
Wu Ming looked calm, looked at the burning Azkaban in front of him, and whispered: "That's easy, there is a ghost in the Order of the Phoenix, someone informed and betrayed us!"
"Snitch!"
Upon hearing the news, before Dumbledore could say anything, Black rushed forward crazily and held down Wu Ming's arm: "Impossible, people from the Order of the Phoenix will not betray, and no one will inform!"
"Really?" Wu Ming lowered his head slightly and looked into Black's eyes.
Eleven years of imprisonment in Azkaban made Black look sallow and thin, and his eyes were full of madness.
In this confrontation, what Wu Ming felt the most was not the despair of prison life, but the pain after learning of the betrayal.
"Nothing is impossible. Peter Pettigrew can betray, why can't others?" Wu Ming knew Black's pain very well. It was precisely because of Peter Pettigrew's betrayal that he lost his friend James Potter and was thrown into the Ark.
Zikaban.
However, Wu Ming wanted to uncover this scar, because only by being awakened by pain can he find the most suspicious person.
"Black, calm down. I have something to say to Professor Wu Ming." Dumbledore patted Black on the shoulder, walked staggeringly towards the seaside, and motioned for Wu Ming to follow him.
Wu Ming looked at Dumbledore in front of him. From his footsteps, he could see that Dumbledore was the saddest one.
After all, every member of the Order of the Phoenix was Dumbledore's valued student, friend, and even life-and-death acquaintance.
No matter who among these people is betraying, it is a blow to Dumbledore.
"You know, trust is really hard to come by!"
Dumbledore turned his back to Wu Ming, looked at the rough sea in front of him, and said: "In 1970, Voldemort's gangs were increasing, and many kind-hearted people were killed one after another. In order to protect more people, and to fight against Voldemort, I
The Order of the Phoenix was formed. Everyone here is like my family. We trust each other and have gone through those dark times together."
Following Dumbledore's narration, Wu Ming picked up a stone from the beach and threw it into the sea with all his strength.
...poof...
The stone fell into the sea and stirred up waves and flowers.
Wu Ming looked at the ripples on the sea, clapped his hands to knock off the dirt on his hands, and said without looking back: "Professor, I know you are sad. In this case, let's stop sensationalizing. Tell me, now Phoenix
Who are the members of the club? We can have an emergency gathering."
"Don't you have any feelings after hearing these words?" Dumbledore turned back slightly and looked at Wu Ming, who didn't care at all.
"No, I'm very happy that you have had so many friends."
Wu Ming shrugged, then pointed to the far east and said to Dumbledore: "Professor, in my hometown, three of them were sworn brothers in Taoyuan. The love of brotherhood surpasses everything. Even in modern times, their stories
Still enduring, do you know why?”
"Why?" Dumbledore didn't know the famous brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, so he asked Wu Ming.
Wu Ming smiled when he heard the sound, stretched out three fingers in front of Dumbledore, and whispered: "Because in five thousand years of history, there has been one Liu Guanzhang, and there will never be another one. So, we miss their story and let this story
Lasts forever. Well, it’s a sad story…”
This is a very meaningful statement, and people who can understand it will basically say goodbye to naivety.
Perhaps, when we occasionally reminisce, we will still think of the innocent looks we had between each other.
Now, please let us put good and evil on both sides, and put the word "profit" in the middle.
