Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord

Vol 2 Chapter 2: Unlucky Pierce (below)

While Qin Weijie was trying to fall asleep, an acquaintance fell into an embarrassing situation on the European continent, fifty miles east of Amiens in France.

Fifty miles east of Amiens is a section of the Somme River in France with a relatively slow flow and a narrow river surface. This is the site of the famous Battle of the Somme during World War I and the starting point of the Battle of the Somme.

Although it has been 23 years since the war, the depression is still here. Although the ruins of the war in the early years have been cleaned up, the chilling meaning left by the heroic spirits still hangs over this land.

Twenty-three years ago, under the baptism of artillery and war, this place turned into a **** on earth. The battle of the Somme continued for nearly 5 months between the British and French forces and the German army, causing a total of 1.3 million casualties, the most serious casualties in human history. A positional battle (in those days).

This battle demonstrated the horror of the lethality of modern warfare weapons. Although human flesh and blood created these war machines, they could not use flesh and blood to resist the advancement of war machines. Everywhere they passed was scorched earth and bones. The cruelty of war is written.

However, even after experiencing such a scene of purgatory, mankind still failed to learn from it, just as people always try to learn from history, but "the only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind has not learned any lessons from history. ”, which turns the word history into war, and the same is true.

It was late at night, on the bank of the desolate Somme River, suddenly several voices burst out, and a group of guys dressed in strange clothes seemed to appear on the river bank out of thin air, gathered together and chatted with each other.

"What's the situation? You sent an emergency owl letter saying that all seven members of the joint investigation team are missing? How did they disappear? Where did they disappear?"

A sturdy man with a ferocious scar on his face was followed by three people, showing a group of people who quickly walked towards the front.

"Captain Pierce, I'm sorry... We don't know much about the specific situation..." A tall, slender woman with heavy makeup said, "Let me introduce myself first, I am the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Section of the Auror Office of the French Ministry of Magic. Maison Celeste."

Saying that, Meishan Celeste gracefully stretched out his left hand, the scarred man frowned slightly, and the gentleman took Meishan's hand and kissed it lightly on the back of his hand, then responded coldly: "Ministry of Magic, Chief of Operations, Auror Office, Pierce."

Pierce is an old acquaintance, anyway, since Qin Weijie came to the UK, the captain has been around Qin Weijie almost all the time, working hard without complaining. Sometimes Pierce feels that he is the captain just like a nanny.

Fortunately, Qin Weijie fell out with the old Marquis of Welfare this summer, and Pierce began to perform the rest of the relatively important tasks.

But it may be that Qin Weijie, the **** of plague, has been protected for a long time, and he has been contaminated with a lot of bad luck that is unique to Young Master Qin. Comrade Lao Pi's first serious mission this year has appeared.

The specific situation is this. Since Grindelwald and the Muggle government attacked Poland at night, and wiped out the newly established Polish Magic Enforcement Division overnight, this incident is almost equivalent to declaring the prelude to a total war.

Under such a situation, the French Ministry of Magic also felt that it was in danger. Grindelwald's next target was likely to be the French Ministry of Magic, so the French Minister of Magic had to put down his face and ask his old friend, the British Ministry of Magic for help.

The British Ministry of Magic is also in a troubled time recently. Hector Foley is on the verge of being impeached, and he basically has no real power in his hands. The British Ministry of Magic is in chaos without a leader. Although the departments are still performing their own duties, they basically belong to their own governance. , it was difficult to lend a helping hand for a while.

Under such circumstances, standard political means could not be responded to, and the French Minister of Magic had to find another way.

At this time, the British Ministry of Magic is not leaderless and independent, so it simply goes to the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic and asks them for assistance. First, a joint investigation team is formed to do some simple investigation tasks that do not involve in the war. Let the team run in the investigation first. For some mysterious incidents that have occurred in France recently, after the British Ministry of Magic's 'impeachment incident' has settled, they will formally make a request to legalize the joint investigation team.

At that time, there will be the basis for the previous cooperation, plus some political lobbying, calling for some speeches, which will inevitably bring the British Ministry of Magic in. With the help of the British Ministry of Magic, the situation on the mainland should be more relaxed, and even some Ability to counterattack against Grindelwald and turn the situation around.

I have to say that although this move is not in compliance with the rules, it has indeed solved the urgent need under the recent shortage of personnel.

However, the person who approached the French Minister of Magic and completed this "first kill and then play" plan was our "Golden Nanny" Captain Pierce.

Originally, in Pierce's view, this matter went smoothly. After all, the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic did not officially intervene in the war, but only did some simple investigation tasks.

In fact, if it goes on like this, it's fine. It's just like the plan. The big deal is to wait for the 'impeachment case' to settle and report it, but at this time, a team of members of the 'joint investigation team' disappeared inexplicably. .

This is a serious operational accident. Even if it is in line with the rules, if Pierce is not killed first, then the incident will cause a lot of trouble, and the authorization to form a joint investigation team is entirely at Pierce's own discretion. If something goes wrong, Pierce becomes first responsible person.

No matter how the matter develops now, as long as the missing team of Aurors is not found, Pierce will be punished accordingly when the chaotic dust of the British Ministry of Magic is settled, and the punishment will not be light, and will even involve Wizengamot Parliament, which will be judged by the laws of the magical world.

Maybe I can only wash chrysanthemums in Azkaban for the rest of my life~

Pierce was also very desperate at this time!

"Which one did I mess with!? Why is it always me who is unlucky!!"

This must be Pierce's inner monologue at this time.

"Miss Meishan, please give me an explanation? How could a group of people disappear out of thin air? What mission are they going to perform?"

Pierce temporarily suppressed his unease and turned to question Maison Celeste, the head of the French Ministry of Magic.

Mei Shan frowned in embarrassment, and took out a roll of parchment from the briefcase of her attendant, which was the record of the operation.

"We are also very sorry for this kind of thing... We didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!" Mei Shan said apologetically, and then introduced the detailed tasks performed by the members of the joint investigation team.

"Recently, there were inexplicable magical fluctuations near the Somme, and we sent Aurors from this team to investigate. Originally, this kind of task was not difficult and dangerous, but for some unknown reason, the team that carried out the investigation task earlier today. We lost contact with us, and we sent three groups of investigators to look for them, but they found no trace of them, so I notified you with an emergency owl letter."

"That's it?" Pierce asked

Mei Shan smiled wryly and nodded: "We only know so much. It is said that this investigation mission does not involve Grindelwald, and there will be no danger, but the seven members of the team are missing. It is very strange. We are now We can only continue to send investigators to investigate, and we can only say that we are very sorry for this incident... We will also try our best to deploy personnel to search for the missing!"

At this time, Pierce was two big and too lazy to talk anymore, so he could only take out a pipe and take a puff of tobacco, looking around and looking at the ruins.

"This is... the ruins of the Battle of the Somme?" Pierce asked for a long time

Mei Shan nodded and said nothing.

At this moment, a gloomy wind blew across the banks of the Somme, and a cold and gloomy aura filled the whole land. Suddenly Pierce noticed that his pocket was warm, and subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a folded yellow paper. Triangular piece of paper.

This was given to him by the wicked young master when he was protecting the young master of the welfare family once during the summer vacation. At that time, the young master of the welfare family said it was a talisman and asked Pierce to carry it with him.

Pierce didn't care much about it either, he just thought it was a child's trick, and he just put it in his pocket and didn't bother.

But I don't know why, just when a gust of yin wind hit, this amulet unexpectedly changed a bit.

The warm and comfortable golden halo circulated on the amulet, as if resisting the inexplicable overcast wind, Pierce only felt that the piercing feeling just disappeared in an instant~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The next second, everyone's ears rang With a shrill scream, a gray-black shadow appeared in front of everyone.

The group turned to look at the inexplicable shadow. The shadow was dressed in the standard uniform of the French army during the First World War. The face was festering. The dark black viscous blood soaked the entire face and clothes. The entire shadow was suspended in mid-air, looking extremely terrifying and eerie.

"What is this!!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and hurriedly took out his wand and cast magic on the shadow.

But after the magic was released, it passed through the shadow and hit the rock without causing any damage to the shadow.

Pierce was also jumped by a sudden change at this time, and hurriedly took a step back, but bumped into a big man behind him, and was immediately pushed towards the terrifying shadow by the reaction force.

Shit~ Why is it always me who is unlucky! !

However, the next second, when Pierce collided with the shadow, the shadow made a shrill scream, and then struggled in pain, but was finally suppressed by the golden amulet in Pierce's hand. Ashes.

"What is that black monster?" Mei Shan looked at the shadow that had disappeared in shock, and then looked at the amulet in Pierce's hand: "What is this?"

Pierce was also in shock at this time. He stared blankly at the slightly dim amulet on his palm, and murmured, "A...a amulet...a amulet made of Chinese mysterious magic.
