Chapter 1113 The figure beside the campfire (Part 2)
Just as Grindelwald said, Lockhart's situation is obviously much better than Elena thought.
In fact, if there was an unlimited supply of magic power and ammunition, Lockhart would even have the opportunity to try to "annihilate" all the werewolves by himself.
After all, in the wolf state, most werewolves cannot maintain the ability to think rationally. With the combination of modern weapons and magic, there is not much difference between werewolves and strong wild wolves, and their appetite for humans and blood
Paranoia will actually reduce the difficulty of "total annihilation".
In addition, Lockhart's "memory burning" work in the past few months has undoubtedly played a very important role.
High-intensity memory burning accelerated his understanding of various non-magical knowledge.
Even if he doesn't have much shooting experience, it's at least enough for Lockhart to understand how to accurately summon firearms, control firearms, and repel werewolves' attacks based on the shooting effects of various weapons - you know, the success of the Flying Curse
The rate depends on the wizard's own magic proficiency on the one hand, and the accuracy of the spell caster's knowledge of the summoned object on the other hand.
I have to admit that Gilderoy Lockhart has changed a lot compared to a few months ago.
Perhaps he himself did not realize that with the expansion of his thinking and vision, his actual combat power was far more powerful than his magical strength.
"Well, but the strength of the 'Hanged Man' doesn't affect our rescue operations, does it?"
Elena moved her eyes away from the real-time light screen, looked at the two old wizards who had "failed to mutiny", and spoke softly in a calm tone.
"The time limit I agreed with 'The Hanged Man' is before midnight. If you want to take this opportunity to observe his upper limit, then I think it's best to change the time and place - well... in short, now you can tell me why
Are you going to stop me from saving people?"
"Well, first of all, let me correct you. Whether it is me or Albus, what we are opposed to is not saving people."
Grindelwald coughed slightly, raised his finger and shook it, and said unhurriedly.
"What we object to is directly dispatching the Hyperion to rescue the Hanged Man - if I wanted that kid's life, there would be no need for so many twists and turns. Maybe he has indeed grown up a little more than before.
But in front of top wizards..."
"What's the reason? The reason why the Hyperion can't be dispatched."
Elena quickly interrupted and glanced at the retired old devil angrily.
However, the person who answered her this time was Dumbledore, who was standing not far away and observing Lockhart's real-time battle scene.
"To be more precise, based on all considerations, it is best not for the Hyperion to be sighted in the Armenian forest."
Dumbledore retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Elena, and said seriously.
"The first is the risk of 'leakage'. After the werewolf transforms, he can clearly remember everything he experienced in the wolf state."
"Therefore, if the Hyperion is involved in the transfer and fire suppression process, then all werewolves will become 'witnesses'. For this situation, we have previously had two ways to deal with it:
Erase their memories on a large scale, or set up a safe zone to limit their in-depth contact with the magical society."
"only……"
Dumbledore paused and glanced at the silently howling werewolves in the real-time light screen.
"Whether it is Hogwarts, Destiny, the Foundation, or Gringotts, there was no corresponding preparation before this. Unless they are imprisoned, we have no way to restrain the actions of nearly a hundred werewolves. As for large-scale erasure of memories, such a method
We still use as little as possible.”
"The Forgetting Curse is not as reliable as you think. Shallow forgetting can easily fail under stimulation, for example... when the full moon transforms into a wolf."
Elena started counting one by one with her fingers, and glanced at the worried old wizard with a strange expression.
"Not to mention these werewolves, even the elite Aurors in today's wizarding world... How many people can detect the Hyperion without removing its disguise? Don't forget, the Hyperion is in Hogwarts
It's been floating in the sky for several months, so you have to see it to witness it, right?"
When the Hyperion is in cruising mode, there are at least ten wizards taking turns maintaining it, which is even more than the permanent guards of the Ministry of Magic.
"You don't need to see it, its existence is the biggest exposure——"
Dumbledore said quietly, looking at Elena calmly with his blue eyes.
"This is not Hogwarts Castle. Powerful protective magic is solidified around the Hyperion. With the Hyperion as the center, space movement within a diameter of two kilometers - whether it is the phantom migration of wizards or house elves,
Or maybe all the portkeys are in a locked state. Whenever a wizard tries to apparate around here, he will notice something abnormal immediately. If we are unlucky, we will have been discovered by now."
"Based on the current information, there are Auror teams from at least seven countries gathered around the Armenian Forest."
"If nothing unexpected happens, they may appear in this area at any time. The chance of an accident happening in the process is really too high."
"A very large-scale space blockade, this may be more terrifying than the werewolves in half of Europe put together."
Almost half a year has passed since the Hyperion left the Ukrainian shipyard.
In the past half a year, the various magics aboard the Hyperion have been strengthened, transforming it from a "flying ship" into a magical war fortress armed to the teeth.
In the assault operation to rescue the "Soviet Wizard" some time ago, Hyperion completely changed the traditional confrontation model.
Dozens of American Aurors and American Gringotts goblins didn't even last two seconds before falling directly under the cursed floor.
Ultra-long space jump, large-scale space locking, plus carpet-like intensive shooting of magic spells.
The performance of the Hyperion on the battlefield was no less than the arrival of the "old gods" in Lovegood's fantasy.
"Well, okay, the issue of the Hyperion is a bit troublesome..."
Elena shrugged, pointed at Lockhart who was still fighting hard on the light screen, and looked at Dumbledore.
"What about the Hanged Man and the werewolf? We must save that idealist."
"And there are so many werewolves, if we really leave them alone, you should know what might happen - 'Dumbledore' can't appear just in time for the Aurors to find the werewolves. Instead of placing hope on the morality of the Aurors,
Go ahead, I'd rather solve the problem..."
"That's right. There is really no way for 'Dumbledore' to appear in the first place."
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, his eyes also staying on the young wizard in the light curtain.
"but……"
"Dumbledore is not the only wizard in this world who has a sense of justice and powerful magic."
The old wizard exchanged a look with Grindelwald and said meaningfully.
"Even a person of short stature can cast a huge shadow when illuminated by a bonfire. During the time you were away, Mr. 'Tower' came up with a wonderful idea. We will temporarily call it: bonfire
