Although he had not been in direct contact with Voldemort, Merlin had learned enough information and stories about the Dark Lord who had caused an uproar in the British wizarding world more than a decade ago, as well as from Harry and the young wizards, as well as from the American Aurors Aurors Auror Aurors Auror Aurors and Ravens.Voldemort was a powerful dark wizard, and he resembled a standard old-fashioned villain in both real and bizarre stories.Cold, vicious, indifferent to life, thirsty for knowledge, and despising death, declaring that he wants to conquer it.Yes, he longed for eternal life, and he wanted to use black magic to achieve this great feat.He had his own followers, who were originally called the Knights of Walples, but later followed his master and changed his name to "Death Eater", which means to conquer death.Now, Voldemort has returned from death, which seems to prove that the Adversary is stronger than ever.This also gave the Death Eaters, who had been scattered by the death of the Dark Lord more than ten years ago, a chance to reunite, and they either actively or passively returned to Voldemort's side.Willing to act as a pawn of the Dark Lord.Of course, the Dark Lord's own power aside, they weren't really a perfect group of order-enforcers for his mysterious and insane followers.They have many, many bad things.Just as cold and crazy as their owners are, just one of them.And the worst of all their bad things is that they have to leave a thing called the "Dark Mark on the scene" every time they do it.It was a special kind of magic, like fireworks.They use it to assert their identity, to destroy, destroy, and kill to demonstrate the power of the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord.I have to say that this trick is still very useful to intimidate the cowardly.But in the eyes of the fearless, such symbolic meanings are greater than the actual meaning, and leave a lot of unnecessary trouble.Merlin's car was quickly parked on the side of the small dock in Hell's Kitchen, and several police cars were parked around, and the police had already set up a cordon.Merlin and a few children stepped out of the car, and when they looked up, they could see the green skeleton and snake emblem hovering in the gloomy sky.The thing was right above their heads right now.But this thing, like any other magic, cannot be seen by Muggles.Merlin showed his credentials to the police who intercepted him, then pulled a cordon and led the children into the dock in front of him.From afar, a pungent smell of blood came.In front of Merlin's eyes, Agent Coulson was already there with someone to collect samples of the murder.At his feet, there were several corpses covered with white cloths, and near the container in front of him, which had been completely distorted by some force, traces of blood were sprinkled all over the ground, and it looked like it was full of horror."
Did you find anything?"
Merlin walked up behind Coulson, who asked in a low voice.Coulson was wearing sunglasses, looking up at the strange badge above his head.He's a normal guy, but Merlin gave him psychic sunglasses so he can see these strange things.Merlin's inquiry startled the preoccupied Coulson, who hurriedly took off his sunglasses, he glanced at the children around Merlin, and said to Merlin: "There is no valuable discovery for the time being, but I guess the problem is serious." ”He crouched down and unveiled the corner of the white cloth covering the corpse towards Merlin, whose face changed slightly when he saw the corpse.He grabbed Hermione and Ginny, who were curiously poking their heads out of the way, and reached out to cover their eyes.Harry and Ron weren't so lucky.They clearly saw that a third of the corpse seemed to have been bitten off by some large creature, the hideous and horrible corpse, with blood and severed limbs, which made the two children's faces pale, and they immediately turned around and rushed to the garbage can on the side of the street.Well, they ate breakfast for nothing today."
You go back to the car first."
Merlin said to the children next to him with a serious face, Hermione and Ginny saw what happened to Harry and Ron, they also guessed some facts, they didn't dare to stay where they were, and quickly went back to the car.The orange cat cooed on the bridge and slept lazily.After seeing the Dark Mark, Merlin put it on, and Goo was the last guard of the children.After the children left, Merlin took the gloves from Coulson, and before the medical examiner arrived, he used his medical knowledge to look at the six bodies around him, as well as the completely twisted container and the cargo ship that had been half-sunk under the docks.Ten minutes later, Merlin threw away his blood-soaked gloves and said to Coulson, "It was made by some kind of large creature, but the crew members were unconscious before they were bitten to death."
They had traces of the Sleeping Charm, and they were not attacked, but used as food for the beast...
There are more than a few people who have died, and if you let divers search for them at the bottom of the sea, you may be able to find some more corpses. ”"It's a stowaway, sir."
Agent Coulson, holding the materials found on the cargo ship, looked at it and said to Merlin, "I asked the dock workers, and they told me that every month, the ship would smuggle in some stowaways. ”"Oh?
Is that so?
”Merlin frowned and looked around, and after a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Tucker?"
Something is going on on the docks, you come here. ”Ten minutes later, Tucker, the black man, appeared next to Merlin, looking at the blood on the ground with some fear.Merlin pointed to the half-sunken ship and said to Tucker, "Do you know this ship?"
”"Yes."
Tucker saw such a big thing, he didn't dare to hide it, and said to Merlin truthfully: "This is a group of guys who specialize in smuggling business, they bring people from outside, and the Russian gang in Hell's Kitchen will help them deal with the rest." ”"Do you know any of these people?"
Merlin pointed to the corpse at his feet, Tucker squatted down, pulled open the white cloth and looked at it, his face immediately turned pale, he stood up, covered his mouth, nodded to Merlin, he said with some difficulty: "I know the tattoo on his arm, this is the leader of the smuggling...
Oh my God, this is a terrible death. ”"Help me check, Tucker."
Merlin reached out and put his arm around Tucker's shoulder, and he whispered, "As fast as you can, find out what the hell they brought yesterday, and where did they go!"
Tucker, you have to be clear, whatever that thing is, it's in Hell's Kitchen right now, and it's for your business, for your safety, you know?
”"Well, I'll look for it right away!"
Tucker ran out as soon as he slipped through the smoke, Merlin and Coulson said a few words, and when they turned back, they unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.Auror Raven.The indifferent guy was standing inside the cordon, frowning at the scene.The police around him turned a blind eye to him as if he didn't exist.It was a special magic effect.Muggle Expulsion Charm.This thing is often used to dispel Muggles who have strayed into the wizarding world, but in this case, it can also be used to reduce the presence of wizards.Merlin looked left and right, then gestured to the Auror Raven, and moments later, in a remote corner of the docks, he and the Raven shared the information they had gathered."
It's some kind of large predatory magical creature."
Raven affirmed, "The situation at the scene looks like the work of a hungry mountain monster or a crazy Bigfoot, and only such brute force creatures can sink a ship in a very short time."
Coupled with the Dark Mark overhead, it was clear that the Death Eaters were planning to wreak havoc in this place. ”The grim-faced Auror put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, and he glanced at Merlin's car parked in the distance, and said, "And it must be for Mr.
Potter, you'd better get him out of here now." ”"The situation is unknown."
Merlin shook his head, and he said with a cautious face, "The enemy is in the shadows, so sending Harry away like this may be in their hands."
I've reached out to Harry's wizarding friends over there in England and they'll be on their way soon. ”"Then send him and the children to the headquarters of the Magical Congress!""
It's the safest place in all of New York, and we must keep Mr.
Porter safe," the crow muttered. ”"I'm more interested in it now."
Merlin said, "Haven't you been monitoring New York?"
Why didn't you even notice a group of Death Eaters who had smuggled in?
”"Merlin—" the crow's expression was a little gloomy, and he said, "Didn't Aesinus already tell you why?"
”He looked at Merlin and said, "There are less than 170 high-ranking Aurors in all of New York, and we are overstretched.The Death Eaters weren't a problem for us, they hadn't been on the North American continent since their collapse a decade or so ago. ”"But now they're back!"
Merlin said, "Well, let's not argue about that, anyway, I need you to come up with a plan, Auror."
You are the real experts in this area!
”"My plan is to send Mr.
Potter away first."
The crow breathed a sigh of relief, and he said seriously, "Then catch those stowaways and fight them well until they are completely driven out." ”"This plan is really straightforward..."
Merlin complained, and he beckoned to the crow, "Then come with me and take us to the headquarters of the Magic Congress."
I don't know where your base is. ”"I have informed my superiors, and soon, the entire New York high-ranking Aurors and ordinary Aurors will be mobilized."
Raven followed Merlin, and he whispered, "But we don't have the manpower to quickly search all of New York, so we need the help of S.H.I.E.L.D."
We'll get your bearings, you'll do the details, and our people will protect your agents. ”"Well, that's a pretty solid idea."
Merlin took his phone as he walked and dialed Fury's number.He recounted what was happening at the docks, their speculations, and the Magic Congress's request for assistance.Fury didn't hesitate for long, and began to mobilize all the forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York.There are also New York Police and other security services, all of which have received orders for searches.The Aurors of the Magic Congress have also officially shed their disguises, and they appear in every suspicious part of the city on flying carpets or broomsticks, searching the city from above.Merlin and Raven escorted Harry and the young wizards as fast as they could to a building in New York.Seriously, if it weren't for the crows showing the way, Merlin wouldn't have guessed that the base camp of these wizards was actually hidden in the downtown area.However, just as Merlin was driving out of Manhattan, Tucker's phone called."
Merlin, I searched for a lot of people, and finally figured out the news of last night's stowaway."
On the phone, Tucker's voice was a little distorted, and he said quickly: "That's a group of mysterious Englishmen, there are homeless people who saw them go ashore and headed north, and I will send you the specific address by text message." ”"Well done, Tucker."
Merlin applauded.Tucker is a ninth-rate snake like him, but when it comes to finding a group of strangers in an area, there's no one better at it."
Someone has found it!"

Merlin waved his phone at the crow, and with a murderous look in his eyes, he said, "Get your colleagues ready to get the kids over and we'll catch these damn rats!"
”———————————— let out a low roar came from some remote warehouse in Hell's Kitchen.However, under the cover of soundproofing magic, this strange, frightening sound was not heard by the people around it.In the dimly lit warehouse, a dozen strangely dressed people were gathering together, discussing something intensely.It's a group of Death Eaters, a group of Voldemort's loyal lackeys."
Shut up!
Shut up!
”A balding man with sparse hair shouted at the top of his voice, who seemed to be a leader, a slightly sickly fellow in a dirty, shabby purple suit that looked like he was from a last century.His greatest feature is his right hand.The palm shone with a silvery sheen in the dim light, as if it were made of metal, but his silver hand was flexible, like a real flesh and blood.He screamed at the others, "The master asked us to bring back that boy!"
We have to do it!
”His voice was high-pitched and odd, like his pale ghostly skin.He slapped the table hard, as if to hide his inner uneasiness with a fierce expression, and he said to the others, "Stop chattering!
Let's go!
The host didn't give us much time!
”"Take that hungry tree bee, listen, it's hungry—" The man with one silver palm opened his mouth like a mouse, and let out a sickly and strange laugh, and he looked at the darkness behind him that was red by the flames, and there was a hideous look in his strange, watery eyes.He whispered, "Hehe, let it go and eat it!"
”"There's nothing else here, stupid Muggles, but there's a lot!"
