Chapter 252 Death Order

There was no roaring voice in the Howler, only a voice that seemed as cold as a glacier sounded.

"The one at sea is not the loser who left Nurmengard. Find that person as soon as you can, and if you cannot find that person on the ocean, send a separate team to wait for them at the end of the Arctic. I hope to get good news from you eventually, and if you mess it up, you better die at the North Pole!"

After listening to the contents of the Howler, Rodolphus and Rabastan looked at each other.

Along with this Howler, there was a message from France.

Three days had passed since the night the re-educational camp was captured, and only now they had realized the full story of what had happened, as well as Voldemort's defeat at the hands of Dumbledore.

Lestrange brothers are not some fools, from the tone of Voldemort in the Howler, they could get a meaning beyond the words.

The problem over the re-educational camp didn't come from the frontal battlefield, but from this sea, which they were searching!

This made Rodolphus become very nervous and gloomy.

Things are starting to get deadly.

Originally, when they received this mission, the Lestrange brothers had the intention of returning to Britain from France with great success and a semi-vacation at their leisure.

Because at first when they got the news from Azkaban, Voldemort identified the person who was investigating what he had done on the sea as Grindelwald and let the Lestrange brothers lead people to track him down, simply to let them find his whereabouts, and eventually Voldemort would personally go over to face this big man who had stirred up the world fifty years ago.

But now things have gone astray, that person at sea is not Grindelwald, and with the current state of Voldemort, and the meaning expressed in the Howler he had sent.

It sounded like this matter is going to be completely handed over to the Lestrange brothers, and he issued an extreme order that is no different from a military order.

This undoubtedly brought great pressure on them.

"What do we do?"

Rabastan asked uneasily.

The Howler that had completed its role, after bringing Voldemort's voice, turned into a wisp of grey ash and flew down into the sea.

Rodolphus' face was also grim, and he let out a prolonged sigh.

"What can we do? Lord gave us instructions on what to do, so we have to do it. There was never a choice for us, we can only try to do our best to get this done, no, it must be done!"

His tone was very resolute, but also from that resoluteness, one could hear a hint of lingering misgivings.

Even if the one they are now looking for and hunting is not Grindelwald, it will never be some unknown weak person within the magical world.

And the ocean is so big, so how can they be sure that the person will definitely follow Voldemort's original route and will definitely go to the end of the journey?

The good thing is, their lord now is not a brutal and unreasonable madman, will not give them a task that can not be completed, and then force them to die, that is simply pointless.

While receiving this Howler, the Lestrange brothers also gained the right to mobilize all the Death Eaters in Britain.

Although for the entire ocean, even if all the wizards in the Ministry of Magic are mobilized, it is like a drop in the bucket, in any case, they have nothing to lose when it comes to life.

Regarding the high tower located in this sea, Rodolphus did not neglect the clues that can be found.

He let the Death Eaters capture a lot of merpeople from the surrounding area and brought them to himself and invited the wizards who could understand merpeople's language from the Ministry of Magic to interrogate these merpeople, so as to understand what really happened here not long ago.

But the Hogwarts ship did not stay at the tower for long, only five days or less.

Even if the merpeople know that such a ship visited Sir Stoker, those who know are only a very few in number. Most of the merpeople, only saw the rocket flying from the bottom of the sea that day and producing a big explosion, back then they fled in a hurry when the big explosion occurred, only returning again when the explosion subsided.

As for the cause and effect of the explosion, that, even fewer people would know. Therefore, Rodolphus got very few clues from the merpeople here, the only thing he could determine is that the tower that originally stood here has collapsed.

And the old man named Stoker who lived in it, whom Voldemort spoke of, had no bones left.

In fact, if he can stay here longer, and have enough patience to interrogate more merpeople, then he can obtain the clue that there was a big ship under the flag of Durmstrang that appeared in this sea.

However, Voldemort's Howler is like a knife hanging in the heart of Rodolphus, after some interrogation without any results, he did not dare to delay and stay, and immediately led people to continue to search along the route provided by Voldemort towards the north.

Such a search continued for more than half a month, they rode the flying broom day and night to the north, and their flying speed is very fast, too fast that they have already deviated from Hogwarts ship which had sailed in a different route.

So, when Jon and the others had just reached the northernmost part of the Norwegian Sea, Rodolphus led the Death Eaters deep into the waters of the Arctic Ocean.

Even after reaching the final destination marked for them by Voldemort, they did not find even a single wizard's shadow.

This situation inevitably made the Lestrange brothers' hearts rise up in fear.

They are afraid that the person had given up heading to the final goal, so they will never be able to complete the death order given to them by Voldemort, and ultimately there will be no way to come up with any results to deliver.

Compared to this possibility, they prefer to believe that the person who caused Voldemort great trouble deviated from the original route, going somewhere else within the Arctic.

To confirm their suspicions, Rodolphus dispatched a great number of Death Eaters to search widely in the Norwegian Sea to this part of the sea inside the Arctic Circle.

If any suspicious people and vessels are found, they will immediately report it to them, and if they meet a wizard, it is necessary to find out the details of the other party by all means.

It was under these circumstances that Hogwarts was spotted by the two Death Eaters who called themselves "Helgi and Heinz".

The two Death Eaters didn't notice any flaws in Jon's response, but even if there was no flaw, according to Rodolphus's instructions to them, as long as they encountered a wizard, regardless of who it is, they had to find out the details and report it back.

So, they did not skip this matter, after pretending to leave, they followed the Hogwarts dangling far away, while reporting what they encountered and where they were located.
