Lockhart looked at the empty cage, pursed his lips, and stood up. He found that the big stone door leading to the outside had been opened. He immediately understood that these Death Eaters did not want to dirty the underground area, so they decided to get rid of the Muggle outside.
An idea flashed through Lockhart's mind. He quickly walked toward Dolphin and the others who had moved to the entrance of the cave.
Dolphin held his wand, squinted his eyes, and leaned back slightly. "Why didn't the great author stay with his little Muggle lover? Lowly people like to gather together."
Lockhart did not look at the little girl floating in the air. He bowed slightly to Dolfin, appearing to be somewhat flattering. "My lord, how could I be interested in dirty Muggles? I'm just amusing them."
"I know you're a person who likes to be worshipped. You need these Muggle to satisfy your vanity, so you bribe them with small favors..." Dolphin pretended to be smart and touched his chin. Dolphin pointed at the Muggle in the air and raised his eyebrows at Lockhart. "You used the Amnesia Spell well in this operation. Torture them in your way. If you can satisfy me, I'll let you be my follower."
"It's my pleasure, sir." Lockhart raised his wand and pointed it at the unconscious little Patricia in the air. Dolphin also raised his head, but in the blink of an eye, Lockhart pointed his wand at Dolphin and shouted, "Arm, arm, arm!"
Dolphin looked at Lockhart with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Lockhart would suddenly cast a Healing Charm on him. Caught off guard, he was hit by Lockhart's Healing Charm. However, a strange and uncomfortable feeling spread from Dolphin's shoulder to his fingertips like lightning. It was as if his arm was being sucked away.
Following which, Lockhart kicked Dolphin to the ground.
The other two Death Eaters in the cave saw Lockhart attack, and one of them quickly raised his wand and was about to cast a spell on him. However, after Lockhart attacked Dolphin, he started the next step. His familiarity with this spell allowed him to complete the correct posture. "Everything is empty!"
The eyes of the Black Sorcerer who was hit by the Amnesia Spell immediately lost focus. He stared at his wand in a daze, then looked at the surroundings in confusion. He opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he could not remember what to say.
Lockhart had cast the only spell that he was 100% familiar with. This very powerful Amnesia Spell caused permanent damage to the Black Sorcerer's memory. Even if the Mystery Man and the other Death Eaters had the patience to take care of him for a while, he would become as forgetful as Bertha Jorkins, who was cursed by Barty Crouch.
Seeing this, the remaining Black Sorcerer in the cave did not care about his companion who was under the spell. He quickly ran out and said, "Dolphin, you hold him back. I'll call for more people!" He did not want to go against Lockhart who was using his divine power. His own life and health were more important. He planned to call for more people to come and besiege Lockhart.
Dolphin, who did not expect that this coward would dare to attack him in his master's lair, sat up from the ground. When he opened his eyes and saw Lockhart's divine power, he still felt that it was unreal. When he saw his companion running away, he wanted to get up and start fighting. Then he looked at his right hand in confusion. He realized that his arm did not look like an arm at all. Instead, it looked like a thick, flesh-colored rubber glove. He tried to move his fingers, but there was no reaction. The wand in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
"You liar!" Dolphin, who was deceived by the liar, turned over and picked up the wand with his left hand. He stood up and glared at Lockhart. Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. A deep wrinkle extended from his tightly clenched lips to his chin that was protruding forward aggressively. He waved his wand at the liar who had deceived him.
"Ah Wa... Gua!"
"Arm! Arm!
The Black Sorcerer's Death Curse was interrupted. It turned out that Lockhart had already aimed his wand at him, causing the bones in his left hand to be taken away by the spell that was supposed to have a healing effect. The wand rolled from Dolphin's hand and fell to the ground, rolling a few times.
"Thigh! Thigh! Thigh! Thigh! " Lockhart quickly shouted. He retaliated by casting two more spells. Dolphin's lower body lost its support and fell to the ground. Large beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead. His face was pale. Now, the bones in both his arms and thighs had been taken away. Of his four limbs, only the bones in his calves were left.
The Muggle in the air fell down. Lockhart picked up the unconscious little Muggle who had fallen to the ground. He shouted at the Muggles who were staring at him blankly and did not dare to move, "Run for your lives. This is your last chance!"
As Lockhart's voice fell, after a short moment of silence, a scene that was even more chaotic than before erupted. Those Muggles scrambled to get out, and quite a number of them returned to the cave. They tried their best to pull at the iron cage door, wanting to rescue their loved ones from within. The Muggle in the cage saw this and tried his best to kick the iron door. Lockhart's words made the Muggle feel that if they could not seize this chance of survival, they would not be able to escape when the demons gathered their men and returned.
Some of the Muggles who had loved ones but had been killed by Dolphin, and a small number of Muggles who had just been abused by Dolphin, did not run away. Instead, they gathered around Dolphin and launched the most damaging attacks they could think of. Their loved ones had lost their lives because of him, and their hatred made these Muggles disregard their own lives. They scratched his eyes, grabbed his throat, and punched and kicked him. Even if they might miss the opportunity to escape, they wanted to kill this demon.
Although these Muggle were weak from being imprisoned for a long time and did not have weapons in their hands, in addition to the deep-rooted hatred, the fear, hatred, pain, and other emotions that they could be killed at any time during this period of imprisonment were also vented wantonly in the process of attacking Dolphin. With Lockhart's curse on his body, Dolphin, who had no ability to resist at all, could not withstand so many suicidal attacks. His body was like a broken sandbag, making loud banging noises as he was hit. Dolphin kept screaming and begging for mercy due to the pain.
Lockhart, who had escaped from the entrance of the underground base, finally escaped from the cave and came to the range of Phantom Shift. He sighed and temporarily escaped safely. However, he knew that even if the Muggle escaped from the cave and returned to the surface, they would not be able to leave this base. After all, the surroundings were full of murderous vines. It was almost impossible for them to escape.
The reason why Lockhart deliberately instigated these Muggle to escape was that The Dark Lord needed these Muggles. The Death Eaters who would be called over would certainly not let these Muggle escape and die, so they would try their best to capture them all. Lockhart also had the mark of the Death Eaters on him, so he felt that he needed them to attract the attention of the Death Eaters so that he and little Patricia would have a better chance of escaping.
Lockhart convinced himself that there was nothing he could do about it. If it weren't for the fact that Transfiguration was difficult and he had to bring little Patricia along with him, he wouldn't have had the confidence to do it. Otherwise, he would have been willing to save a few more people. In an instant, he focused his consciousness on the target country that he was about to use Transfiguration. Germany was not too far from Albania, and he had been there many times to sell his books. Even the door key that Nancy used was prepared for him by his female fan there, so he was quite familiar with the place.
Lockhart did not dare to Phantom Shift directly to England. The distance was so far that most wizards who were good enough would not use this method. Phantom Shift was a difficult spell, and the further the distance, the more dangerous it was. The closer and more familiar the place, the safer it would be. However, the weight of the little girl in his arms made him frown. He lifted his lower lip and pressed his lips together tightly. Although he was not confident, he made up his mind that he must successfully cast the spell and move to Germany with little Patricia as a transit station.
Under the hazy moonlight, Lockhart wanted to Phantom Shift to a wizard bookstore in Germany. He turned around with little Patricia in his arms and felt that his body had become illusory, and his surroundings had become dark. He felt a strong pressure from all directions. His eyeballs were squeezed back into his head, and his eardrums were pressed into the depths of his skull. Then …
