Chapter 376 Everton (unfinished)
Kingsley also brought a pair of magic-suppressing rings similar to Muggle handcuffs. With a "click", he buckled the old goblin's hands smoothly, then loosened the black chains that were wrapped around the old goblin like long snakes on both sides of the seat, and pressed, or half-carried the old goblin to the passage he used to travel, gradually disappearing into the deeper part of the dark dungeon-like room.
"Is the trial over? Then - it seems we have to get rid of this old man..."
A rather casual and playful voice sounded briskly, not moved by the subsequent killing. Obviously, he also knew the result that this trial, which was just a formality, should have.
The gray hair was curled like spaghetti and also lazily scattered on the forehead. The dark eyes seemed to flash a cruel light.
In the darkness, he raised his right hand...
"Snapped!"
With the sound of a switch, the whole small room suddenly became bright, and there was a Muggle light in the middle of the ceiling.
Of course, the Weasley who abused the Muggle Artifacts Department had been modified with magic - strange, isn't this more abuse of Muggle objects? - After all, it was too troublesome to connect wires to a fixed position in the Ministry of Magic, so it was better to make a magic rechargeable one.
After staying in the dark environment for a while, his colleague suddenly turned on the light. Kingsley squinted his eyes to relieve the discomfort caused by the stimulation of the light source. He glanced at him speechlessly, and noticed the newcomer in the department who had little presence in the corner of the room.
He frowned: "…Why did you bring someone new here?"
Because the new Azkaban needs guards and the customs needs staff to maintain it, the Law Enforcement Department has recruited a large number of graduates in recent years.
But there are not many people assigned to the Aurors who go out on field missions and fight against dark wizards and wanted criminals. Everton is a graduate this summer, and the only child of these "old men", so sometimes they just call him a newcomer.
The gray-haired colleague grinned playfully, and looked at the old goblin cruelly like a cat, without any emotion, as if he was looking at a dead object. The fear in Gringotts VII's eyes became more intense, but because of the soundproofing spell just now and the binding spell that followed, his stiff and old body was trapped, and he could not struggle.
After admiring enough, Knox finally slowly raised his eyes to look at Kingsley. His gaze paused for a moment on his shiny black scalp, then he wordlessly shifted his gaze to the newcomer and motioned Everton to come forward.
"Of course, we're giving him a taste of the game. Aren't we supposed to be ready to fight goblins and suppress goblin rebellions at any time? Then we have to let this kid get familiar with killing goblins and using the Killing Curse. For people like us who have to fight from time to time, not knowing how to use the Killing Curse is a big problem. Although we've practiced it before in the God-given Land, we've never experienced actual combat."
Kingsley subconsciously frowned again because this kind of thinking was a bit like the dark wizards he often encountered in the past.
But when he glanced thoughtfully at his two colleagues - especially Everton, who was so nervous that he clenched his wand because of those soft descriptions - he paused for a moment, and finally stepped back gracefully, giving up the venue and tacitly approving this "practice" behavior.
Everton then moved forward a little.
"Avada Kedavra--"
He spoke with a standard Middle Eastern accent, half-raised his elbow to the side and back of his temple as if dancing, clenched his wand with a few fingers, and a green light of the Killing Curse hit the old goblin instantly and accurately like lightning.
