Chapter 2362 The Embarrassed Karkaroff
"puff--"
At the moment when something like flour exploded at the crossroads, accompanied by a few suppressed coughs, a row of footprints immediately appeared on the side of the street where there was no one there, and they continued and quickly Extended forward.
"Come with me if you want to live... Karkaroff!"
Sirius, who was not far away, had just rushed out of the winding alley at this time—it was beyond his expectation that he could reveal the footprints of the opponent who had used the illusion spell with just a bag of ordinary dust powder. After all, no matter what the other party said, he was once a veteran wizard who was in charge of one of the three major magic schools in Europe.
However, the other party, who was being chased by a group of living corpses, obviously ignored these trivial matters, and never expected that there would be someone secretly watching behind his ass at this time.
Hearing someone suddenly remind himself, Karkaroff's heart tightened first when he was invisible. After all, Germany is now in chaos, and there are hidden dangers everywhere, so there is no room for him to be careless.
However, is there anything else that can make his situation worse right now?
The next moment, after only a short pause, Karkaroff immediately made a mistake. Originally planning to run in a straight line, he gritted his teeth and turned his head to catch up with Sirius' back.
And just as he hurried past the alley where Sirius came out before, and continued to sprint along this street with all his strength, an inexplicable noise suddenly rushed out from the alley he had just passed by.
At that moment, no matter how nervous Karkaroff was, he couldn't help turning his head and taking a look.
Immediately, he saw a large group of lively little puppets rushing up the street from that alley, blocking him and many living corpses.
"This way."
Karkaroff, who turned back while running, was a little dazed when he saw this sudden scene, and unconsciously slowed down a little. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a hand grabbing his robe with great precision, and suddenly dragged it towards another alley on the side.
"Don't drag me... I can walk by myself..."
"Shut up! Keep up."
Sirius interrupted him angrily, and then followed the direction he came from, and ran from this alley to the original place again. Seeing this, Karkaroff could only temporarily put back the doubts in his heart, and followed him with a little hesitation.
After a while, Sirius, who finally confirmed that the two of them had completely got rid of the group of living corpses, grabbed Karkaroff behind him again, and the two of them dodged into an old Muggle apartment building one by one. Go through the back door.
...
This is an ordinary town in central Germany where the people have been completely evacuated. Since it is just a very young industrial town, it took almost no effort from the initial call to the official retreat, so this humble town was the first to be emptied the group of towns.
And it is precisely because of this that Sirius chose to turn to the eastern region via here. After all, walking from here will definitely be much faster than other areas that are more chaotic.
It's a pity that he never thought that he would meet Igor Karkaroff here!
"...Can you tell me who you are? Don't say that you just recognized me...I don't think the non-native wizard who is still wandering around in Germany at this time is just a simple passer-by!"
Seeing that Karkaroff, who was still looking scared just now, has begun to ponder his identity, Sirius couldn't help shaking his head secretly—that's right, since he was a Death Eater back then, he betrayed him. Such days have not been missing since Voldemort. After soaking in the fearful life for a long time, you will get used to it sooner or later.
but……
"Karkaroff,
Are you... a habit of escaping and escaping? "Sirius leaning against the wall curled his lips, he didn't directly reveal his identity, but looked at him with a mocking look and said, "Why don't you stay well in Durmstrang? "
"You don't care!" Karkaroff seemed a little annoyed when he heard him mention this.
"Of course, I have nothing to do with it. After all, I have nothing to do with you or Durmstrang." Sirius shrugged and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you were chased by a living corpse here and fled in embarrassment. , or hang out in the principal's office in Durmstrang... No one expects anything from you! But why did you lead that group of guys to block my way today... I seem to have heard you mention Bo Who is that from the Lante family? Why, was he tricked into coming here?"
Karkaroff's complexion obviously turned a little bad after being teased by Sirius with words. But who told Sirius to tell the truth? In addition, he is still not sure about the specific identity of Sirius, thinking that most of the guys who can still run around in Germany should not be underestimated, so he doesn't dare to swear casually.
He, Igor Karkaroff, was a bully, always had been—not even he himself denied it.
"Did you hear that?"
Seeing Sirius point out his complaint not long ago, Karkaroff seemed a little guilty, and didn't know what happened between him and the Brandt family.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he frowned and said:
"Yes... for the sake of you helping me just now, if you insist on knowing, I have nothing to say about it—I have made some deals with Mr. Edward Brandt, We also know each other, so this time he asked me to come to him to talk about cooperation, and I came here... In fact, he can't say that he lied to me, after all, he can't take care of himself right now! If you are If you want to go to Brandt's mansion to find some information, I advise you not to, it's already a mess over there!"
"Oh?"
Sirius didn't expect that Karkaroff's words were considered calm, and he even kindly reminded him. It's just that it's not clear how much water is mixed in these words.
"What happened to Brandt's house again?" After a short pause, Sirius asked, "It should not be possible for the army of living corpses to reach their house now, right? Could it be... something happened inside again. question?"
"Hmph, since one patriarch has already died, why can't the second one die?" Karkaroff said, although his tone was contemptuous, his expression seemed a bit complicated and delicate, "In short, the main combat faction has followed the previous patriarch's lead. It’s gone, but radicalism and conservatism are still there... Some people advocate running away, some people advocate staying tight, and there are "outsiders" who take advantage of the situation behind them, and it will be a matter of time before the Brandt family quarrels."
