Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 156 4. The Intensifying Magic War 【79100】

"Lucky for this goblin, the knife just missed its heart."

In the living room of Merlin's mansion, Merlin's hands in medical gloves were covered with strange light red blood.He wore a mask and looked very professional. Beside him, three little wizards held up their magic wands and maintained the Light Curse to provide Merlin with enough light.

Ollivander, the master wand maker, holds many medical knives and acts as Merlin's deputy.

He held tweezers in his hand, and while talking, he helped the unconscious goblin Dobby to stitch up the wound.

His hands are steady, like a real surgeon. After going through so many things, Merlin already has a really big heart. Even though it was his first surgery, he didn't panic at all.

In fact, with the help of spiritual vision and darkness perception, Merlin was able to close the wound almost with his eyes closed.

"Of course, what's more fortunate is that the organ structure of goblins is similar to that of humans, except that all organs are one size smaller."

Merlin looked at Harry beside him, and he said softly:

"Don't worry, child, this goblin's life has been saved. It has lost too much blood and may have sequelae. I don't know much about goblins, so the follow-up treatment is best done by a professional magician. It's a magical creature after all, and I don't know if Muggle medicines will work on it."

He quickly sewed up the goblin's light gray skin, and there was a hideous scar on the thin goblin's chest.

It had been cast with a sleeping spell to keep it from being driven mad by the pain, but judging from its much more steady breathing, it had passed the most dangerous time.

"clang"

Merlin heaved a sigh of relief. He put the blood-stained tweezers and suture needles on the tray next to him, picked up a cotton ball and helped the goblin wipe the blood, then took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can.

With a wave of his hand, he opened the window and let the strange smell out of the house.

"Okay, now you should tell me what happened."

Merlin turned around, looked at the children and Master Ollivander sitting on the sofa, and asked in a low voice:

"Why did you suddenly cross the ocean and appear in my living room? And, why are you in such a mess, and Hermione was hurt... Didn't you tell me in your letter that everything went well? Didn't the Order of the Phoenix protect you? "

Merlin asked several questions in a row, and his eyes kept looking back and forth between the faces of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ollivander and the white-haired girl he didn't know.

After a few seconds, the oldest Master Ollivander took a sip of water, looked at Merlin, and said:

"It's all bad, Mr. Merlin."

"Voldemort has regained the upper hand. Every day, the number of Death Eaters is increasing wildly, and the number of wizards who dare to fight him is getting smaller and smaller. He is like a tyrant, wantonly reshaping the wizarding world according to his will... .I don't know how Mr. Potter and his friends were captured, but he held me hostage in order to find a weapon powerful enough to try to kill Mr. Potter."

Merlin nodded. From his chats with Bill and Fleur, he already knew the dire situation in the British wizarding world. Master Ollivander's words proved this point.

Merlin turned his gaze to the other children. Under his gaze, Hermione looked at Harry with some concern, who was holding his head with his hands, his face full of frustration.

"It's a Horcrux, Merlin."

Harry looked at Dobby the Sleeping Goblin with a sad look, and said softly:

"When the incident happened, Ron, Hermione, I, and I were looking for the mysterious man's horcrux. Dumbledore told me that Voldemort used some mysterious method to divide his soul into seven parts and hide them in the seven souls. Voldemort will never truly die unless we find and destroy all of the Horcruxes."

"We went very smoothly, maybe it was fate. Several years ago, we discovered several Horcruxes one after another and destroyed them. So far, we have destroyed four, and there are three more."

He looked at Merlin, and he said:

"While we were looking for the remaining Horcruxes, we were ambushed and captured in Voldemort's headquarters. Hermione was tortured by Voldemort's followers. Dobby came to rescue us, and it almost died."

"Too many people have died."

Harry said in a desperate voice:

"Dumbledore, Mr. Moody, and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, we've been beaten back and forth, and we don't even know who else to trust. We can only ask Dobby to send us to you."

"Oh, is that goblin so powerful?"

Merlin looked at the goblin Dobby who was lying on the table sleeping soundly, and said:

"How accurate is the drop point of the teleportation spell across the ocean?"

"Dobby is a house-elf, Merlin."

Hermione explained to Merlin while covering the wound on her arm:

"House elves are born with a very high affinity for magic. For wizards, the transfer spell needs to be learned, but it is the natural magic of the house elves. Every house elf can use the transfer spell skillfully."

"Oh, is that so?"

Merlin nodded. He looked at the desperate Harry and the other children. He pondered for a moment, then said:

"I heard that Voldemort and his Death Eaters captured the British Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes."

Ron said with a little fear:

"They also killed the Minister of Magic. Now that institution is Voldemort's puppet. Everyone knows it, but no one dares to fight it. They are persecuting Muggle-born wizards like Hermione, even killing Their Muggle relatives, and even the British Prime Minister have received death threats from Death Eaters, and Buckingham Palace has been closed for a few days, which is terrible."

"So, you guys need help, right?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, looked at Harry, then at Ollivander, and said:

"The Minister of Magic and Dumbledore are both dead. Now there is no leader in the British wizarding world, and there is no one who can represent the wizarding world. Well... let me think about it."

Merlin stretched out his fingers and rubbed his forehead. After a while, he stood up and said to the children and Master Ollivander:

"Clean up, change your clothes, and come with me."

"Where are we going? Merlin."

Hermione walked up to Merlin, she looked at Merlin, Merlin reached out and touched her head, he said softly:

"Go find reinforcements for you."

----------------

"Merlin, can you find a more normal time to visit me?"

In Brooklyn, in Fury's safe house, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. looked at Merlin and the visitors sitting on the sofa with a headache on his face. He lowered his voice and said to Merlin:

"It's midnight, and I'm human too, and I need to rest too! Also, which of the three words 'safe house' do you not understand? Is this a place where you can bring strangers casually?"

"Don't be mad, Fury."

Merlin said softly:

"This time it's the real big deal."

Pointing to the people behind him, he said:

"You have been trying to spread the S.H.I.E.L.D. system to the world, and I have found you the best opportunity."

"Ok?"

Fury glanced at Merlin suspiciously. When he entered the safe house, he saw Harry and those little wizards at first sight. At that time, Fury could guess that something must have happened in the UK.

"You all know Fury."

Merlin said to several young wizards who were about to grow up:

"Tell him exactly what happened, including the recent encounter between Mr. Prime Minister and the Queen. Don't miss it."

Fury sat on the sofa, he took out a tape recorder, and signaled to the children that they could start talking.

The things related to Voldemort are not complicated in nature. The children told each other, and it took almost 10 minutes to tell Fury, the Muggle, the whole thing from beginning to end.

The children had seen with their own eyes how the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. dealt with the Horntail and the dark wizards. They knew more about the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. than other wizards.

And they believed in Merlin, and if Merlin thought Fury could help, then they believed in Fury.

Fury frowned almost the whole time and listened to the story about Voldemort. After the children's narration was over, he thought for a moment, looked back at Merlin, and asked:

"Are you sure that what... Voldemort, his power has begun to threaten the British form of government?"

"It's inevitable, Fury."

Merlin waved his finger:

"That guy is a racist lunatic. He believes in the supremacy of wizards. His greatest wish is to conquer death and restore the order of the Middle Ages, so that us Muggles can become vassals of wizards again. He is a modern ****! The idea is very dangerous, and he also Capable of living out wild fantasies."

"More than 200 Muggles have died at the hands of his followers. He wants to overthrow the existing order in Britain. I don't know why the World Security Council has not received this news, but I believe that in the current evidence With support, Chief Pierce will convince the other trustees."

"Wait a moment, I'll make a call."

Fury stood up, took out his cell phone, and walked into the bedroom.

A few minutes later, Fury returned to the living room, and he said to the others:

"Pearce will take some time to substantiate our concerns, but he agrees with you. If this is true, then the agents in the European Division will have a job to do."

Fury moved his fingers and tapped on the coffee table. He said to Merlin:

"Do you think Gartler and his agents can fix this?"

Merlin shook his head:

"Gattler's ability is fine, but he is not familiar with the affairs of the wizarding world. This matter should be handled by SDLOD. I will go to Europe in person, and you will authorize Gartler to assist me. Chairman Samuel As I said before, if we decide to act, he will also send some high-level Aurors to help."

"Row."

Fury nodded. He is a vigorous and decisive person. Once the source of the problem is determined, he will not hesitate.

"Then, make this an S-Class incident and get your agents ready."

He gave Merlin the chance face to face:

"This is the first time that S.H.I.E.L.D. has carried out such a large-scale operation outside of North America, and it is also the first S-level event after the establishment of SDLOD. It is of great significance to us, so no matter what help you need, you can Straight up."

Merlin thought about it, and he said:

"Can I apply for help from the British military? Now that we know Voldemort's headquarters, I want to use a strong firepower raid to completely end that source of fear, and then use cat and mouse methods to target and eliminate those insane dark wizard."

"This...should be fine."

Fury thought about it and said to Merlin:

"If the World Security Council passes the Intervention Resolution, the British authorities should authorize the military to intervene. But I want to ask in advance, what level of help do you need?"

"That's it."

Merlin shrugged, he looked at the scar on Hermione's arm, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said:

"Naturally, the stronger the better, the authority to use strategic missiles would be even better... Seriously, I think it's time for those arrogant wizards to take a look with their own eyes at the Muggles who are dismissed by them has power."

"I can apply for you."

Fury didn't feel that Merlin was making a fuss over a molehill. If the arrogant activities of the Death Eaters had really affected the national order of the United Kingdom, then the use of missiles to decapitate them was completely within the tolerance of the World Security Council.

His only concern was another problem, and he looked at Merlin, and he said:

"Are you sure the missiles are useful to those dark wizards? I heard that they can use some methods to teleport? And that Floo network."

"These can all be blocked by magic."

Merlin says:

"The Aurors of the Magic Congress can arrange a space blockade. As for the Floo Network, that thing can be cut off. Of course, the premise is that we have to enter the British Ministry of Magic, which is currently occupied by Death Eaters."

"If you have a way to ensure the result, then I will help you apply now."

Fury said to Merlin:

"Don't cause too much public panic, and resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"I try my best."

Merlin glanced at the little wizards behind him, and said:

"Without further delay, I will set off tomorrow morning and get Gartler ready in advance. I am waiting for your military authorization."

"Then act."

Fury patted Merlin on the shoulder:

"I'm going back to the headquarters now, you come to gather your team members. Do you need me to ask Agent Patton to help you?"

"Ah, with Clint around, it would be great."

Merlin looked at the watch on his wrist and said:

"Fury, give this operation a name, isn't this our tradition?"

Hearing Merlin's words, Fury smiled. He glanced back at the wizards behind him. The king of black agents who had experienced many storms said softly:

"Then call it Operation Rage."

"As you said, let those lawless dark wizards see... the wrath of Muggles."
