Chapter 138: Claiming the Bone Bridge

The Gale Tower stood at the end of the Boneway, on the northern side of the Wyl River. It was the last watchtower under Blackhaven’s control. Beyond it, further south, lay the Wyl River, marking the boundary of the territory controlled by Wyl Castle.

From the top of the Gale Tower, one could clearly see the Wyl River and the Bone Bridge spanning it. Across the river, on the opposite bank, stood the Serpent Fang Tower, a fortress used by Wyl Castle to keep watch over the north.

Chapter 137: The Blackhaven Pact

Lynd and Nymeria had been in Blackhaven for three days. Much like in Summerhall, their stay was leisurely. Aside from exploring the surroundings, they spent most of their time in their room.

It wasn’t due to boredom but rather the abnormalities affecting both Glory and the dragon egg, which dampened their enthusiasm for further exploration.

Back in Summerhall, Lynd had attempted to preserve the dragon egg using the Banished Knight’s method. The process itself was fairly simple...

Chapter 468: The Dark Mark

The voices of the Aurors outside reached them in the tent. Charlie let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn’t resist lifting his foot to give Malfoy a swift kick.

“A rare opportunity…” Charlie said to Kyle with a grin. “This guy was laughing the hardest just now, and he was also the first to use the Cruciatus Curse. I’ve been wanting to do that for ages.”

“Cruciatus Curse?” Kyle’s expression darkened. “So you all…?”

Chapter 467: Maxime’s Slap

The situation had changed so swiftly that, in the blink of an eye, the hooded wizards who once held the advantage were now sprawled across the ground, utterly defeated and incapable of fighting back.

Mr. Weasley, along with Bill and Charlie, felt as if they were in a dream.

"Did reinforcements arrive?" Charlie asked, turning his head to look around in bewilderment.

Mr. Weasley remained silent, his gaze fixed on the spot where the last hooded wizard had fallen, his brow furro...

Chapter 466: You Were Having a Great Time Just Now

Although Hermione more or less understood the situation, she hesitated, holding back from entering the suitcase. Instead, Kanna stepped forward as the first volunteer.

“I won’t be any trouble,” she said with a smile. “Besides, I’m curious about what’s inside this suitcase of yours.”

“Just don’t wander off once you’re in,” Kyle warned. “And try not to be alarmed by anything you see. I promise, as long as you stay in the main room below, you’ll be safe.”<...

Chapter 465: The Killing Curse

The group, already packed, burst out of the tent at Mr. Weasley’s command. The once jubilant camp was now filled with panicked screams and utter chaos. The sky seemed darker than before, as if a thick, oppressive fog had swallowed the stars.

In the distance, people were fleeing toward the forest, chased by a group moving slowly but menacingly behind them. Each of these figures wore a hood and a mask, concealing their faces entirely. There was no mistaking their intent—anyone who pro...

Chapter 136: Lord of Castle Wyl

While Lynd remained in Blackhaven, awaiting Beric Dondarrion's response to the Covenant of Defense and Offense, unusual changes began to unfold in the Dornish Marches north of the Wyl.

The Red Watch Clan, which inhabited the region, showed signs of division. Within just a few days, the twenty-odd large and small tribes that made up the clan split into two opposing factions. One faction was led by the Wildling King, centered around the Stone Mountain Tribe, while the other was an allianc...

Chapter 135: The Chains of Blackhaven

“Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Beric Dondarrion,” said Lynd, setting down the goblet in his hand and looking at the Lightning Lord, who was not much older than himself and still had a slightly immature appearance. “I think we should get down to business.”

At Lynd's words, Beric's hand trembled slightly, and instinctively, he glanced at the Maester sitting nearby, as if seeking his advice.

During the banquet, Beric Dondarrion, with his reddish-gold hair, did his best...

Chapter 464: Celebration

Fred and George’s hope for a five-day match wasn’t to be. About an hour into the game, Lynch from the Irish team spotted the Golden Snitch—and so did Krum. The tiny, golden-winged ball hovered just five feet above the ground.

Both Seekers accelerated, diving at breakneck speed.

“They’re going to crash!” Hermione cried.

“No chance!” Ron said confidently. “Krum’s the best Seeker out there!”

“But Lynch might beat him to it!” shouted Harry, Cedric...

Chapter 463: This Ticket Was Worth Every Knut

After introducing the players, Ludo Bagman turned to announce the match referee: the President of the International Association of Quidditch—a short, wiry wizard. Amidst loud cheers, he strode onto the pitch, a large wooden case clutched under his arm. As he took his position, the crowd fell silent, holding their breath.

The referee mounted his Broomstick, nudged the case open with his foot, and with the blow of his whistle, the match began.

“They’re off!” Bagman’s voice...

Chapter 462: Veelas and the Gold Coins

As Ludo Bagman’s voice echoed to every corner of the stadium, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, with thousands of flags waving in unison, creating a vibrant, electrifying atmosphere. Kyle barely paid attention to Bagman’s well-worn opening speech, his eyes drifting back toward Winky, the House-elf.

The Top Box was now fully occupied, except for the seat beside her, which was still empty… He had checked it earlier, and it had been just an empty seat. Could Winky have save...

Chapter 461: Fudge’s Concerns

Over the next half hour, the Top Box where they were sitting gradually filled up. Mr. Weasley kept shaking hands with people who were clearly very important wizards, while Percy kept springing up from his seat repeatedly, as though his stool had suddenly sprouted a row of Porcupine quills.

The last person to enter was Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and everyone stood up to greet him. But Fudge did something unexpected. He strode over to the front row as if he’d spotted an old...

Chapter 134: Blackhaven

In the following days, Lynd took Nymeria and the others on a tour around Summerhall, as if they were on a sightseeing trip, showing no concern for anything related to the Wildling King.

Every night, he returned to the ruins of Summerhall and re-entered the illusion created by the energy of the vengeful spirits.

During these visits, he discovered several unusual things. First, the dragon eggs. As soon as he entered the hall, he would go to the altar and see the dragon eggs in the b...

Chapter 133: Voluntary Allegiance

“You say you want to submit to me?”

Outside the camp, Nymeria and Lynd, both clad in armor and prepared for a major confrontation, stood perplexed by the words of the wildlings' leaders before them.

For thousands of years, the nobles of the Marches and the wildling tribes had been locked in conflict. The idea of either side surrendering without a fight was unheard of—let alone an entire tribe offering submission. And yet, here stood not one, but a dozen tribes united in thei...

Chapter 460: The House-Elf in the Top Box

Naturally, Professor McGonagall and the other professors wouldn’t take the students’ goods for free, even though Kyle and the others insisted it was fine. Wanting to support their students, each of the professors ended up buying around 20 Galleons’ worth of items, filling their arms with festive hats, hairpins, badges, and flags. If they’d had more hands, they might’ve bought even more. They seemed determined to spend generously, whether or not they needed the items.

After say...

Chapter 459: Barty Crouch

From his polished clothes to his upright demeanor, Barty Crouch seemed worlds apart from the scruffy Ludo Bagman. Crouch’s neatly trimmed beard, gleaming leather shoes, and immaculate suit gave him the appearance of a bank manager, or perhaps even someone higher up. Not even the most suspicious muggle—certainly not Uncle Vernon—would likely detect his magical identity.

Bagman, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the contrast. He poured himself a second cup of tea with Mr. Weasl...

Chapter 458: Interrupting the Bet

As more people filled the grounds, the tents began to show more unified support for their teams. Once the first Bulgarian flag appeared on a tent, it set off a chain reaction—soon, other tents were adorned with flags and symbols supporting either Ireland or Bulgaria, giving the venue a divided but festive atmosphere. Occasionally, a lone Bulgarian fan would wander into the Irish camp and, after a few tense glances, hurriedly pack up and move to the opposite side. The Ministry members overse...

Chapter 457: I Am Your Brother, After All

After Kanna joined the group, they continued pushing the cart through the bustling campsite, each wearing something colorful to attract attention. Business was steady and lively, with plenty of customers stopping to buy souvenirs.

During a quiet moment, Kyle took the opportunity to ask Kreacher about Regulus, but Kreacher could only choke back tears, muttering that “Master Regulus was becoming more and more like his old self.” Kyle got the sense that things were progressing, just as...

Chapter 132: The Choosing of the Site

“Is this the dragon egg?” Nymeria gazed at the egg before her in awe, her hand hovering over it as if she feared to touch it. Her fingers brushed the smooth surface every now and then, her voice tinged with disbelief as she asked, “Is it one of the seven dragon eggs from Summerhall that year?”

“Mmm!” Lynd nodded in response.

When Lynd returned to the camp, he avoided the others, heading straight to his tent. Once inside, he dismissed the maidservants with a curt instru...

Chapter 131: Shadows and Substance

After leaving the camp, Lynd found a relatively narrow spot on the moat, leapt into the air, and activated the Storm Dragon rune embedded in the Banished Knight's greatsword. A powerful hurricane materialized, propelling Lynd several meters forward before he landed firmly on the grassy bank on the opposite side of the moat.

Lynd had been experimenting with the Storm Dragon rune ever since King Robert had demonstrated its power on the Banished Knight's sword. According to the Banished Kn...

Chapter 456: Direction-Guiding Fireworks

Kyle was well-practiced in Portkey travel, and when they landed, he was standing firmly on the ground. Harry and Ron, however, stumbled and nearly face-planted into the nearby undergrowth.

“Five minutes and seven seconds from Stoatshead Hill,” announced a voice.

Ahead of them stood two weary-looking wizards with dark circles under their eyes, likely in charge of registration.

“Good morning, Basil,” said Mr. Weasley, picking up the battered boot and handing it over. B...

Chapter 455: Departure

The arrival of their friends made The Burrow even livelier than before. Everyone was laughing, shouting, and arguing, chasing gnomes in the garden or mock-dueling over the tables late into the night until Mrs. Weasley finally sent them off to their rooms.

The next day dawned early. Kyle was up at first light, dressed, and made his way to The Burrow. The Weasleys seemed to have just woken up too—hair tousled, yawning, and looking only half-awake.

“Darling, I was just about to w...

Chapter 454: Kanna’s Reply

Friday arrived, the day before the Quidditch World Cup. In the morning, a brand new car pulled into St. Catchpole Village—Hermione had arrived. Mrs. Weasley had offered to pick her up, but Mr. Granger had thought it was too much trouble, so he followed the address on the letter and drove Hermione himself. As a token of his appreciation, he brought along a bundle of oral care kits as a gift.

“Oh, what a beautiful car…” Mr. Weasley’s eyes sparkled as he admired the silver sedan ...

Chapter 453: Top-Level Box

Bill slept soundly until evening, when he was finally woken up—but the process was a bit of a team effort. Fred and George came up with the idea, Ron fetched the water, Ginny passed the bucket, and Charlie delivered the final touch by splashing the entire bucket of cool water directly onto Bill’s face. Even if Bill wanted to get angry, he wouldn’t have known who to blame.

Since Bill and Charlie were both home, and it was Kyle’s birthday, Mrs. Weasley had been busy in the kitchen...

Chapter 130: The Ghost of Summerhall

“What? All the bandits around Summerhall have fled?” Lynd looked at Lothor, who had just returned from the nearby village, bewildered, and asked, “Why did they suddenly flee?”

Lynd had spent the past two days mulling over how he might change his approach toward these bandits. Unlike before, when he would mercilessly annihilate them or capture them alive to be thrown into the mines of the Red Mountains, he had begun to consider using them for a more practical purpose. The Red Mou...

Chapter 129: Dread

“They've already been so proactive. Why don’t you agree to become the guardian of Lord Elwood? Wouldn’t that make it easier to control Grassy Vale?” Nymeria asked impatiently after Lord Elwood and his entourage left, clearly content with the signed alliance.

“If I become the guardian of Lord Elwood, what difference will that make to my control of Grassy Vale compared to the defensive alliance we just signed?” Lynd didn’t answer her question directly but instead posed one o...

Chapter 452: Divergence

Fred and George expressed their strong dissatisfaction with Kyle’s “preferential treatment,” insisting that they were old enough to try the aged Firewhiskey. Kyle, however, continued to ignore them.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later, when Bill lay sprawled on the floor, fast asleep, that the twins went quiet. They exchanged a look, shrugged, and nonchalantly resumed sipping their juice. They’d watched Bill go from drinking to nodding off, and then simply sink to the floor as...

Chapter 451: Bill and Charlie

For the next few days, Kyle stayed home in St. Catchpole Village, rarely venturing out. He usually spent his time doing homework or working in the attic with Fred and George, helping them make the little props they’d use for pranks. Occasionally, Cedric would drop by as well.

Not only was Chris busy, but Mr. Weasley and Mr. Diggory had also been tied up with work. Fred and George had plenty to say about this, complaining that they now had to wake up two hours earlier every morning for...

Chapter 450: The Clever Fudge

By the time the group walked through the archway and back outside into the cavern, daylight had fully arrived. The morning sun had chased away the cold and darkness, casting a golden shimmer over the sea, creating ripples of light. Nearby, a flock of seagulls had perched on the rocks, eyeing Fawkes curiously on Kyle's shoulder, though they all scattered when Kreacher suddenly began howling at full volume again.

The group waited outside for ten minutes before Dumbledore, who had stayed b...

Chapter 449: The Clearing-Out Performance

The two people standing in the boat suddenly felt a cold wind brush against their flushed cheeks.

Yes, they didn’t need to go to the center of the lake to retrieve the fake locket—so why had they taken the boat in the first place?

Dumbledore was the first to react. Without hesitation, he stepped back onto the shore. “Ah, the mind really does fade with age... not to mention how easily I tire these days. But I think you'll want to see Voldemort’s handiwork. It’s all his us...
