Chapter 777: The Dark Wizards of Raven\'s Claw
Evan pointed forward. He and Sirius looked at one another and walked cautiously towards the stone gate.
On a massive stone platform on the left side of the stone gate stood a fierce man in black robes with a wand in his hand.
Evan saw a strange badge on his chest, on which was a raven with wings spread out, and its eyes were weird sapphires.
The guy was a Raven’s Claw, and he was monitoring the house-elves as they worked.
“Hurry up, you hideous little freaks!” He growled loudly, looking ferocious, “Don’t you even dare let me catch you slacking off! Lazy elves feed the magma!”
Hearing his growl, many of the house-elves’ bodies shook uncontrollably.
On a platform of the rock wall, a house-elf waved his spade a little slower… the next second, a green light hit him. He screamed harshly, lying on the ground, shaking uncontrollably and sobbing.
Evan frowned. It was the Cruciatus Curse!
Torturing the house-elves with this kind of magic, this guy was really a Dark wizard.
There were many ways to make house-elves obedient, and Crucio was definitely the cruelest of all.
“Scum, it is your honor to serve the great Raven’s Claw. You should give your blood and soul to your master,” said the wizard contemptuously, “But for the sake of your usefulness…”
“All right, Kagal, stop torturing these elves!” A man stepped out of the stone gate. He also had a Raven badge on his chest, but its eyes were red.
“How do you do, Harbinger of Doom!” said Kagal respectfully, bowing slightly.
“Harbinger of Doom… Strange name…” thought Evan, who looked attentively at the wizard coming out of the stone gate.
He was of medium height, wearing an exquisite set of mostly blue and purple wizard robes, with a hood on his head hiding his features. Evan could only see that the exposed bits of his skin were pale, bloodless. His hair, on the other hand, was even whiter than his skin.
What was interesting was that he brought an eerily chilling sensation along with him. Even though there was hot magma everywhere around him, after seeing him, Evan shivered, as if cold was emerging from the depths of his soul.
Like Caresius, the magic emanating from him did not feel like that of a normal human wizard.
Evan’s gaze was focused on the impenetrable shadow cast by the hood, for he had sensed that this man was very dangerous.
Sirius gently pulled Evan, and they hid behind the rocks near the stone platform, overhearing the conversation between the two Dark wizards.
“You can’t keep torturing these house-elves to death, Kagal. I know it’s fun, but we still need them for digging out the crystals. It’s already going very slow. If they all die, we wouldn’t be able to find other creatures to replace them.”
“I know their limits very well. I’m just scaring these little creeps into working harder.” Kagal seemed a little scared as he tried to justify his actions. “Great Harbinger of Doom, they are too slow indeed. I think the giants above would be far better. Yes, they’re much stronger than these hideous little monsters!”
“The giants are not creatures that could be enslaved so casually, and they can easily attract the attention of the outside world.” The wizard paused and continued, “We have to be careful these days, Kagal. There are many wizards from Britain on the island. Some sent by Dumbledore, and some by the Dark Lord, and they all want to woo the giants. We must not let them find out about this.”
“The Dark Lord… the wizard?!!” Surprise showed on Kagal’s face. “I thought he was dead already!”
“That man is different; he has conquered death! We will also do it someday. When we finally summon our lord back to this world, we will have eternal life and supremacy in the new world after judgment!”
“I can’t wait for this day. Let this dirty world be reborn under its fury!” Kagal was shivering with excitement.
“Patience, Kagal. For a goal as noble as ours, it is only natural to endure suffering!” The man’s voice was bitterly cold. He said slowly, “The first step is often the hardest. We’re not powerful enough yet, but once we finish this, everything that follows will become simple.”
“Yes, Harbinger of Doom, your teachings have remained with me,” said Kagal, bowing slightly again.
The fierce-looking Dark wizard seemed to be very afraid of this so-called Harbinger of Doom. He was being far too polite for a dark wizard.
“The return of the Dark Lord is a good thing. We can cooperate with him once again to infiltrate our way back to Britain. There’s a vital message in the ancient Wizarding School, and we must get it.” The wizard looked at Kagal and said in a cold voice, “I will be leaving very soon to meet the Dark Lord in Britain and ask to join his army again.”
“That is really good news. I like the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters. Back when they ruled, we could slaughter Muggles, half-blood wizards and other creatures at will. This is what I always hope for.” Kagal licked his dry lips, with a cruel smile on his face.
Evan and Sirius looked at one another. It was not good news that these Dark wizards of the Raven’s Claw were ready to join Voldemort.
Obviously, Hogwarts must be the Wizarding School that the wizard was talking about. What were they planning to do?!
After learning about Voldemort’s return, many dark forces hiding in various parts of the world were on the move, ready to emerge once again.
“Don’t get carried away, Kagal, we are different from the Death Eaters! We have higher noble goals.” The wizard called the Harbinger of Doom paused for a moment, his breath was getting colder. “Okay, give me the recently mined Crystals, and complete another energy stone from the Cyclops. I want to take them to that city. The energy we’ve gathered is almost enough. I am going to summon that ancient existence before I set out to meet the Dark Lord…”
There was a sound on the platform. The Dark wizard, known as the Harbinger of Doom took a cloth bag from Kagal and Disapparated directly.
