Chapter 433

Early the next morning, Harry and Snape arrived together at Sirius's office in Ireland. It was clear that a great battle had taken place here; many buildings had become ruins, and several wizards were using the Levitation Charm to clear the debris. On the other side, several bandaged vampires sat on the steps, lazily leaning on long guns, looking over here from time to time.

Led by a thug, they walked into the office together and sat down in a luxurious reception room. Immediately after, Sirius also entered the room and sat down.

"It's very troublesome; Evolt is much more proficient with guns than we are." Sirius's first words were bad news, "The musketeer squad has suffered heavy casualties; we can't go on like this."

"Let's talk about his helper first; is it a black-and-green knight with a cape?" Harry asked eagerly, wanting to verify.

"That's right; do you know information related to him?" Sirius's answer confirmed Harry's speculation.

"That knight is called Cronus, and he possesses the special ability to block bullets. The transformer is Bella." Harry explained quickly.

"This crazy woman is really like a ghost that won't go away," Sirius sighed, "but does this mean Evolt really has a great relationship with Voldemort? Otherwise, why would Bella act with him?"

"Evolt cannot possibly be Voldemort's resurrection," Harry said decisively, "at most, it's the foolish Bellatrix who believed this lie."

"Should we keep Lestrange?" Sirius said with some dissatisfaction, "Perhaps we should completely eradicate their family."

"It's not easy to take rash action on this matter." Snape said slowly, "First, we must deal with Cronus and Evolt; second... after all, that is on the European continent."

"And then she can still stir up trouble." Sirius sighed, "This is too outrageous."

"I talked to Hack, and he said we can't afford that kind of offshore balancing." Snape sighed with implication and then changed the subject, "How is Delphi doing at the moment?"

"Still okay; I sent her to a couple of farmers. Both husband and wife are very kind and should be able to take good care of this child." After answering, Sirius added, "In any case, I don't suggest we get her involved."

"We must deal with Evolt as soon as possible, while the musketeer squad still has some use." Snape shook his head, "I don't want to involve innocent children either, which means we have to take the locket out and take a risk."

"You mean, lure him out?" Harry felt this plan sounded familiar, "But this trick seems to have failed once already, right?"

"So he will lower his guard. This time we are going to use all the power we can use: vampires, werewolves, and the Sacred Blade." Snape said seriously, "This is the best chance to defeat him."

"Vampires and werewolves together? This is too whimsical." Sirius shook his head, "Just let the werewolves stay out of it; we will gather all the vampires who can shoot guns to ambush him together, and then add all the Kamen Riders Harry can find on his side, in one go..."

A burst of urgent knocking on the door interrupted Sirius's words. He waved his wand with some displeasure, and the door to the reception room opened.

"Bad news, sir." One of his subordinates said with a sad face, "We just received news that Ma Erfu Manor was raided by Evolt last night. The casualties were heavy, and Sir Ma Erfu himself was seriously injured and hospitalized."

The three people present stood up at the same time. Sirius's brain turned the fastest; he immediately turned to Snape and questioned, "Nagini, is it Nagini?"

"I'm afraid... yes." Snape said through gritted teeth, "This really was a lucky hit."

"What?" Harry furrowed his brows, "How could he know, or how could he think of Ma Erfu Manor? Is there a mole?"

"No, although almost all Death Eaters guessed that we killed Nagini to manipulate the election, if it's the simple-minded Lestrange, she probably still thinks Nagini is living well in Ma Erfu Manor." Snape rubbed his forehead, "I originally thought the most dangerous place was the safest place; now it seems it was broken by an idiot who thought they were being clever..."

"Let's go to the hospital to see first." Harry suggested, "Listen to what new intelligence Lu Xiusi has."

"That makes sense; I believe he also wants to lure and kill Evolt at this moment." Sirius said with a trace of schadenfreude in his tone.

When they arrived at the hospital, the Malfoys had already woken up and were currently weakly leaning on two side-by-side hospital beds. Their house-elf Dobby was originally walking around the ward busy. As soon as he saw Harry, he immediately stared with a pair of watery eyes, ran over, and grabbed his pant leg.

"Oh, Savior Potter, please defeat the Dark Lord once again..."

"Go home! You shameful thing!" Lu Xiusi scolded with dissatisfaction.

Dobby reluctantly obeyed his master's order and left.

"What's going on, Lu Xiusi?" Snape asked, getting straight to the point, "Did he take the Horcrux?"

"Unfortunately, Sev, we tried our best." Lu Xiusi sighed, "I even cast the Killing Curse, but that freak easily swatted the spell away. This is too..."

"Yes, Sev, this is not only a painful failure, it even makes us start to doubt whether our philosophy is wrong." Narcissa added from the side, "Perhaps knights can really only be defeated by knights."

"In other words, Nagini's corpse has been snatched by Evolt, right?" Snape rubbed his fingers, "Then the situation is clear; the research on the Horcrux cannot stop. This is a very simple principle: he attacked, which means he is afraid."

"And in order to let the project continue, I am going to hand over another Horcrux for you to study." Snape showed a smile.

"But many researchers also died. After Evolt came in, he threw explosive curses around, and many people lost their lives." Narcissa shook her head with some fear, "Let's not get involved anymore, okay?"

"From the moment Lu Xiusi accepted the appointment of the Department of Mysteries, we were already in the same boat; there is no turning back, you two." Sirius said suddenly.

"Yes, we can only go to the end." Lu Xiusi clenched his right hand, "We need to restart the Queen Plan."

"But what if the Queen gets out of control?" Snape asked back.

"If she gets out of control, we summarize the experience and then start the third plan!" Lu Xiusi said firmly, "At worst, I'll pay for it."

"That doesn't sound like you." Sirius sneered.

"You intend to gather all your strength to deal with Evolt, I'm not wrong, right?" Lu Xiusi's eyes were cold, "I will pay to support the Vampire Queen on one condition: don't get Draco involved."

"But have you ever thought that the moment the Queen gets out of control is also the moment our strength is at its weakest?" Snape shook his head, "At that time, it won't be up to him."

"Uh, let me add." Harry shrugged, "Although I don't know what's going on, ever since getting that Gel-Dragon, Draco has become very warlike now. It's very likely he will volunteer to fight."

"That's too dangerous." Narcissa immediately worried for her son.

"Yes, it is indeed dangerous, especially since Draco's strength is not strong." Harry said objectively, "Unless it's a last resort, I don't want to get him involved either."

"The situation now is that Evolt doesn't seem to fear the Killing Curse, so Sev, you also can't play a role." Lu Xiusi said with a sour face, "So it's enough for you to preside over the Queen Plan."

Snape was silent. Harry could see that he didn't want to start the Queen Plan from the bottom of his heart.

"How about, changing the Queen?" Harry asked cautiously.

"It's not like that... sigh!" Snape sighed heavily, "Then let's restart it; I will go contact the Magical Congress."

"We need a plan, a plan to deal with Evolt." Sirius said, "Initially, it seems appropriate to use the locket to lure him out, and then the Sacred Blade and the musketeer squad ambush him together. If Cronus appears, we ask our Cronus to take action."

"Let's talk about that after the Queen Plan succeeds. We can let the Vampire Queen participate in it too." Lu Xiusi said.

"No, the commotion of the Queen Plan is too big; it can't be hidden." Snape shook his head, "If I were Evolt, I wouldn't foolishly wait for you to complete the plan. I would definitely raid before the plan, or catch a gap when the final step of the experiment is just being conducted."

"And what if it fails?" Harry actually didn't hold much hope for this plan.

"Do it in parallel. First, let's start the preliminary preparations for the Queen Plan." Snape nodded, "Then, find an opportunity to escort the locket to Ma Erfu Manor with great fanfare. Evolt definitely won't miss this opportunity. At this time, if we can successfully kill him, then everyone will be happy."

"If he doesn't come, then we will remain unchanged to meet all changes and continue to do what we should do. If he comes, and can still snatch the locket under heavy siege," Snape paused here; he was not very willing to admit this possibility, "then we will adopt a defensive posture, wait until the Queen Plan is completed, or find some breakthrough elsewhere, and then discuss it separately."

"I agree." Lu Xiusi nodded.

"I think I have to discuss it with Ron and listen to his opinion." Harry said, "If, I mean if, he happens to have some insights, or has some way to improve his strength? Then we still have to wait for him."

"And, we also have to wait for Zhang Qiu to return, otherwise we can't deal with Cronus." He added.
