First, the magic passage in the academy was destroyed to prevent the Ministry of Magic from quickly providing support.

Later, Gaunt used the Room of Requirement in Ayr College and, together with the Black Apostles, imprisoned all the teachers.

The Room of Requirement is really a room where everyone can ask for something. It even has a prison inside, so it's naturally not as strict as Azkaban.

But locking these teachers up for a period of time is more than enough.

Not to mention, the Black Apostles were not easy to talk to. They put several magic spells on these people to ensure that these people would not even have the strength to stand up within a few days.

Next, there is Gunter's interrogation of Watson.

Magic that was originally used to kill people or torture people, such as Cruel Bone Crushing, Shattered Bones, and Embrace of Pain, became the best torture tools in Gunter's hands.

Watson didn't hold on for long before he told what Gunter wanted to know.

That Twisted Puppet is indeed a brand new magic, created by Watson.

Its function is to turn people, animals and even most living things into puppets for her use.

This is not the first time Watson has used it. Over the years, she has used this magic to turn many people who oppose her into puppets.

As for Ted's whereabouts, Watson really doesn't know, and has no urgent need to find him.

After all, although Ted did not appear in front of others, he was still communicating with the outside world.

Not considered missing.

In modern society, people are always communicating online and have no chance to meet face to face.

"Can you contact Ted now?" Gunter asked Xia Yanzhen's concern.

Watson shook his head weakly.

Only Ted can contact them, they can't contact Ted.

Gunter has his own way to determine whether Watson is telling lies, and there are many kinds of detection magic.

For Watson, who is now half-dead, there is no way to resist these magics.

After receiving a negative answer, Gunter immediately reported to Xia Yanzhen.

"Then get ready and go to the dock."

Xia Yanzhen said.

No matter what, I must go to the dockyard.

Gunter nodded and quickly made arrangements. He, Xia Yanzhen, Demon Dragon and the five black apostles headed to the dock together.

The remaining Black Apostles stayed behind to control the situation.

Wait for the support from the Ministry of Magic to arrive, and then counterattack on the spot.

If you can't beat him, just leave. There's no need to spend all your strength here.

Xia Yan was really noncommittal about Gunter's arrangement.

He doesn't like people with twisted minds like Watson, nor does he like the Black Apostles.

The Black Apostles were just tools for him to complete his mission, and Xia Yanzhen didn't care about their life or death.

It's easy to use now, just use it for a while.

After making the arrangements, a group of people quickly arrived at the dock.

After Gaunt and the five Black Apostles used several magic spells in succession, they discovered a secret passage in the dock.

This secret passage leads to the bottom of the lake, but where exactly it goes is unknown.

Duke may be in the mix.

It's just... that this secret passage was found by Gunter and several powerful magicians after a lot of effort.

Duke, this guy, at most has a little talent in combat magic.

How can He Dehe discover this secret passage?

"Look, there are footprints." A black apostle waved his wand, and many messy footprints appeared on the steps leading down the secret passage.

There are even handprints on the walls.

These handprints and footprints emit a faint light, making them easy to trace.

It looks like it was left by someone.

Duke

"Walk."

Gunter glanced at Xia Yanzhen to make sure he had no objection, and took the lead and entered the secret passage.

Five loyal black apostles followed closely behind.

Finally, there are Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat.

The secret passage sloping downward is not very wide, with a height of just over two meters. In terms of width, it can only allow "one and a half" people to walk side by side.

If Tiamat were in human form, she would have to bend down and lower her head here.

Although others find it depressing, their basic actions are fine.

"That power is coming out again, what is it?"

After walking for a while, Gunter at the front couldn't help but speak.

He has already felt that there is a power in this secret passage, which is the same as the power that lingers in the magic world and appears in Randolph's cemetery.

Also similar to Watson's twisted puppet power.

The magic of Watson's Twisted Puppet is formed by the fusion of this power and magic.

Originally, Gunter suspected that this power was ancient magic.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Even Gunter himself felt that this twisted power needed to be treated with caution.

He even felt that the current mess in the Glen Magic World was caused by this power.

He suspected that the existence of this power might, to a certain extent, distort the magician's mind and thinking.

It also makes them stronger.

Watson is an example.

The more Gunter thought about it, the more it made sense. He immediately told Xia Yanzhen about his findings, hoping to get verification.

He could detect it, and the powerful Lord Munstersha must have noticed it long ago.

"Ah, is he right?"

The expression on Xia Yanzhen's face remained unchanged, but he was confused and asked Tiamat.

He didn't know what kind of twisted power it was, just like spiritual energy.

"There is indeed this power, I can feel it a little bit." Tiamat answered affirmatively.

"As expected of the strongest magician ever, you have a keen sense."

Xia Yanzhen praised Gunter and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Master is so complimentary." Gunter said modestly, but his heart was not disturbed at all.

What he wants is not praise, but to look at him with cold and ruthless eyes, the kind of arrogance and contempt that can crush him to death at any time, accompanied by unparalleled power, it brings a shuddering "

Great Terror".

Compared to praise.

What Gunter wanted was for Xia Yan to look at him and say lightly, "Do you want to die?"

Of course, it can't be real death.

Just that feeling of dying.

Gunter was in a trance when an iron gate suddenly appeared on the secret passage in front of him, blocking the way.

There are also complex magic mechanisms next to it.

Gunter frowned and observed, spent a few minutes easily solving the mystery, and moved on.

Next, a group of people encountered some magical mechanisms and mysteries.

Gunter showed what it means to be a truly powerful magician.

These mechanisms and mysteries that are enough to trap 99% of magicians were solved by him one by one.

The average time is no more than two minutes.

If it were Xia Yanzhen who came here, he would have to use violence to destroy it. It would only take a short time, but it would inevitably lead to unpredictable results.

Xia Yanzhen is quite satisfied with Gunter as the leader.

It took a full three hours.
