Chapter 259: The Cripple
Gandalf and Balin departed together, returning to Erebor, where their journey had begun.
After arriving with Balin, Gandalf immediately set off again, beginning another journey to destinations unknown.
As for Balin...
"That was quite a journey, wasn't it?"
In Erebor, he regaled his old friends with tales—the giant bear gazing at the moon atop Carrock, the breathtaking views from the Sky Road, the brutal battle at Rive...

Chapter 258: The Great Library of the Nameless Tower
The turmoil ended as abruptly as it began.
This battle targeting a new city and a major stronghold of the Free Cities concluded within mere days. Though in scale it was second only to the Battle of Five Armies in nearly a century, the records gave it only a few brief strokes.
Year 2949: Riverside Keep was established. Three Nazgûl led fifteen thousand orcs and dozens of giant beasts in an attack on Rive...

Chapter 330: Theseus Captured and Dumbledore's Arrival
"I assume we're here for a reason?" Theseus asked.
"Perhaps next, we need to attend a tea party," Newt said, turning back with a wry smile.
Wizards continuously raised their wands, shooting red fireworks into the sky—bursts of crimson light that crackled and popped overhead.
"Germans, slightly fanatical."
The turmoil in the collective unconscious sea made Aiden uncomfortable, like static ...

Chapter 358: Barty Crouch Jr.
Corban Yaxley—a Death Eater. After the First Wizarding War ended, along with Lucius Malfoy and others, he claimed to have been controlled by Voldemort's Imperius Curse and forced to commit countless wrongs, then was released without charges. But anyone who knew him understood the truth—this man was a Death Eater through and through.
Now that Voldemort had returned, under Barty Crouch Jr's threats and inducements when he came knocking, Yaxley ult...

"Oh." Jacob deflated and waved both hands in surrender. "I'll go get my coat and tidy up the shop."
Jacob ultimately couldn't resist his inner desire and decided to set out with Aiden and the others.
Aiden and Lally exchanged knowing glances. Lally raised her wand and adjusted Jacob's clothes with a flick, transforming his baker's apron into respe...

After drinking some potions, Sean barely opened his eyes and immediately said to Snape, "Professor, go protect Harry. If the Death Eaters controlling Karkaroff have any objective, it can only be Harry. He's in danger!"

"I'm fine, Professor. I have specialised potions on me."

Snape immediately stood and rushed from the Chamber.

"If you fight him, what will happen?" Theseus asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Dumbledore didn't speak. He simply raised his hand, fingers trembling slightly.

The blood pact on his wrist began to emit a crimson glow, pulsing like a living heartbeat.

After Scull was captured, Dumbledore imprisoned him directly in the Chamber of Secrets.
The place was a natural prison—those who couldn't speak Parseltongue couldn't open it at all. Currently, those who could speak Parseltongue to open the door either wouldn't go, couldn't come to Hogwarts, or were Dumbledore himself.
Moreover, Dumbledore had set up protections inside the Chamber. If anyone came here without his permission, he wou...

At the London Underground station, Dumbledore gripped the handrail and made his way through the crowded platform to a quiet café outside Downing Street.
Inside the café, Dumbledore stirred his coffee with deliberate slowness, watching the cream spiral through the dark liquid.
A man in an impeccably tailored suit materialised beside him.

With a light beckoning gesture, the wand and its holster on the desk flew into Sean's hand.
But in his activated spiritual sight state, the wand's trajectory appeared before it even moved—captured by spiritual sight before the actual movement occurred. This visual effect, similar to precognition yet resembling arithmancy divination, left Sean amazed.
No wonder he'd always felt that arithmancy had considerable auxiliary effects ...
