"Sleeping Dragon Barrier?"
Sirius suddenly heard this very familiar name and immediately searched for it in his memory.
"I vaguely heard of it before, but isn't this barrier part of Hogwarts' protective measures?"
He held the crystal in his hand and suddenly became nervous.
"Could it be that we brought out the most important protective measure of Hogwarts?"
"It's not that exaggerated, you don't have to be so nervous." Jon was very calm. "The Sleeping Dragon Barrier of Hogwarts is one of the greatest magic inventions in the past two thousand years, and that thing is closely connected to the dragon soul underground in Hogwarts. It's impossible for you to take it away. The crystal in your hand is the Dragon Bone Crystal. Dumbledore probably used a method of camouflage to extract some power from the dragon soul underground, so in theory, the crystal in your hand can temporarily activate a barrier like a barrier, and within this barrier, the activity of magic will be greatly reduced."
It was worth mentioning that there was another thing behind this thing.
During the few years when Jon left Hogwarts, Voldemort frequently caused small problems to restore his influence, and as the power of the entire magic society continued to rise, the more active Voldemort was, the more power he could restore. If he was always in control, there was naturally no need to say anything, but the problem was that even if the Dark Forest in Albania chased him away, with Grindelwald and Dumbledore working together to find him, they could only deduce that Voldemort was hiding in Europe.
This was very frustrating.
Voldemort was too good at hiding, and if it was someone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to do it to this extent, but Voldemort could hide himself under the cover of snakes, and no matter how strong Grindelwald and Dumbledore were, it was impossible for them to investigate all the snakes in Europe.
So in this situation, Dumbledore came up with a better idea.
He didn't want Voldemort to recover his strength too quickly. Although Voldemort had once reached his peak and would eventually return to that state, the longer the better. Thus, he consulted the previous headmasters of the Hogwarts Academy and increased the power of the Hogwarts Barrier by one level.
It changed from a basic protective barrier to a war mode.
As for the enchantment in war mode, it could not be called the Sleeping Dragon Enchantment. According to Jon's memory … if there was no mistake … during the war years, this thing was called the Enchantment of Silence. Its effect was similar to the Dragon Soul Crypt. It was just that after the area was expanded, it could not completely seal off the magic. It could only suppress the magic activity within the enchantment.
This large-scale Silencing Barrier covered almost the entire European region in the later stages of the war. Although some of the bases left behind back then could no longer function normally, Voldemort's hiding area wasn't that large, so it was basically enough.
The mechanism of this thing was actually very easy to describe. It extracted the excess magic elements in the air and then stored them in the main dragon bones of the enchantment to strengthen the power of the prison.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing was not much different from the Magic Net. The only difference was that it needed to be manually controlled, while the Magic Net had its own consciousness. Of course, other than that, this thing was very different. But for the magic world that had been in a long period of decline for a long time, it was not easy.
The Sleeping Dragon Enchantment in the hands of the Sirius could only be said to be a defective product. It was not very useful, but if the range was to cover this warehouse, it could indeed eliminate a lot of the effects.
At least it would save a lot of trouble dealing with the aftermath.
However, this thing was not easy to make. There were not many dragon bone crystals left. Although Dumbledore was a very powerful dragon research scholar, he should not have many left.
Taking this thing out could only mean that Dumbledore really valued the current Jon very much.
It was as if he was afraid that something would happen to Jon.
But after all, it was a good intention, and Jon could not say that he did not live up to it. This kind of temporary enchantment item was a one-time use item. If it was left for a long time, the magic power stored in it would disappear with time, and then it would become useless. So, he had to use it.
"Since you've brought it out, then use it. I'll give you a signal later. You can just directly inject your magic power into it."
The Sirius nodded. After all, although Jon was much younger than him, his strength was still there. If Jon had to face this matter formally, then he probably would not be able to help much. Rather than that, it was better to use all his energy to maintain the enchantment.
"But will this enchantment affect you?"
Jon shook his head. "The Sleeping Dragon Enchantment has always been used as a weapon of war. I have received special training in this area, and I know how to exert my own strength within the range of the Sleeping Dragon Enchantment. You don't have to worry about this. What you need to do now is to protect your own safety."
Jon glanced at Derek, who was standing next to him, holding his breath and pretending that he did not exist, and pointed at him.
"And his safety."
From beginning to end, he did not reveal to anyone what he was going to do tonight, because this matter had nothing to do with them.
This was Jon's own business, or rather, this was part of their research. Be it Sirius or Derek, these non-researchers could not help much.
He did not speak, and the atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became awkward. The strong wind hit the iron walls around the warehouse, setting off a clattering sound. This kind of sound was annoying to listen to.
And just when Sirius and Derek had their own thoughts, a melodious sound suddenly entered their ears.
Both of them turned their heads to look, only to find that Jon had been looking in that direction for a long time, as if he had already seen his target.
And in such a huge shadow, Derek and Sirius gradually saw the source of the sound.
It was a small boat.
It was hard to imagine that in such terrible weather, there could be such a small boat that could sail smoothly on the water. This clearly violated scientific common sense. Not to mention such a small boat, even a huge ship like the Titanic would find it difficult to withstand this level of storm. With the weight of this small boat, it should have been overturned in the sea and then torn apart by the violent undercurrents.
But.
Nothing happened.
This small boat slowly sailed on the surface of the water. Wherever it passed, the strong winds and torrential rain seemed to have eyes and made a path for it.
… … Everyone was a Wizard, and they all knew what this situation meant.
