It wasn't until the oriental man walked out of the wine cellar that Mr.R stood up. The three crystals were summoned back to the box. He picked up the box and handed it to the side. The light twisted unnoticeably, and a man wearing a hooded robe appeared.
The wizard slowly emerged.
The wizard's face was hidden in the hood. He stretched out his hand to take the box. Mr. R said: "Take the thing back to the headquarters, E. Be careful. This is the only one in the world."
The wizard nodded silently.
"What do you think of him, E?" Mr. R asked the person next to him again, the wine in the glass swaying back and forth, casting flickering shadows on the wall.
"Don't make it difficult for him, R." The speaker was another person. He appeared on the other side of the table at some point, holding the same cup in his hand, but the wine inside was golden. "You know he stood up.
Oath of silence, it is impossible to answer you."
Mr.R ignored the newcomer and said to himself: "I think he is just a clown."
"I agree with this." The new wizard agreed, "I really don't understand what Benson liked about that kid and why he left all his property to him."
"Money is a trivial matter, the key is his research, M." Mr. R lowered his voice and said, "His research can help us better understand the world."
M drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said in a sarcastic tone: "You are still as ruthless as before, R. That Oriental, hehe, I bet he will also disappear in Knockturn Alley. That's how you arranged it, isn't it?"
? Once he dies, Benson’s research will be ours.”
"I hope so." Mr. R raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes, "It's time for you to go find him, M."
"No rush, give him some time to digest, and I might be able to drink another glass of mead."
…
After walking out of the Three Broomsticks Bar, Xing Ze wanted to find a place to sort out the information he had obtained, and he also needed something to refresh himself.
He walked along the main street. Mrs. Puddy's Teahouse was at the other end of the village. He needed to walk through the entire village.
The three people's tracking skills were very poor. Xing Ze noticed them when they reached the fork in the road leading to the Screaming Shack. He thought about it in his mind and turned into the path leading to the shack.
Because of rumors, no one would come along this trail. When he was halfway there, two men jumped out from the side, and another blocked his way back.
The acne-prone man had a bruise on his face, probably from the injury he sustained when he was thrown out of the bar. He grinned, probably thinking that he was destined to win.
The moment the spell sounded, Xing Ze performed a phantom transformation. He avoided two magic rays and a petrification spell. When he reappeared, he came behind the acne man. Obviously, the other party did not expect it.
so.
Xing Ze knocked down one of them with a missile, and then used his armor to protect himself from the magic of the other two. The new wand was very compatible with him, which increased his spellcasting speed a lot.
The pimpled man wanted to cast the petrification spell again, but he was a beat too slow, and he was hit by a faint shot, and fell to the ground like a drunkard.
The last man's magic ray failed to hit Xing Ze. His accuracy was a bit off, and the ray hit a Hypericum perforatum plant on the roadside, causing its yellow petals to fly all over the sky.
Xing Ze took off his armor and walked forward slowly. He saw that the wizard's hands were shaking violently, but he still aimed at him persistently.
It seems that the reward given to them by their employer is quite large, he thought to himself, and then whistled towards the sky.
The raven descended from the sky and interrupted the wizard's spellcasting with its wings and powerful beak. "Get out of here, you damn beast, get out of here." The man shouted, his hands flying randomly above his head.
The farce was over. Xing Ze cast a disarming spell, and the man's wand flew to the side. He desperately wanted to escape, but his feet were unstable and he fell to the ground.
Xing Ze took a few steps forward and pulled up the wizard who was lying on the ground: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
"I...I...am..." The wizard received a slap on the face.
"Hey, slow down, man. Not many people come here, and we have plenty of time."
"Yes... he is a young man, with short hair and very tall."
"Be specific."
"I really...really...don't remember."
"Is your hair flaxen?"
The man thought for a moment and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, golden brown."
Barrow Foley, Xing Ze thought to himself. He let go of his hand and punched the wizard, and the poor man fainted immediately.
Afterwards, he found ten gold galleons from the pimple man's pocket, and the attacker's three standard wands were also in his pocket. He thought that he would go back and see if Blue Beak could absorb the wands.
There are many people in Mrs. Puddifu's teahouse, most of them are senior students. They are basically in pairs. The train incident did not affect these young people who are passionately in love.
Xing Ze found a seat by the window and sat down. He ordered a cup of strong tea and asked the clerk not to add sugar. Then he took out his notes. As for the key room's notebook, he hid it well.
into the ring, along with Benson's wand.
He scribbled in his notes and recorded some crucial information. When the cup of strong tea was served, Xing Ze had almost sorted out something.
Dunn Eric got the white fragment from nowhere. The Key Hall classified the fragment as a high-risk item and launched a hunt for it.
Desperate, Eric turned to Snape for help. Snape, who had always been ruthless, provided unprecedented help. He led the Aurors who were chasing Dunn to Knockturn Alley, so that the potion merchant could escape and sit down.
Get on the express train.
Thinking of this, Xing Ze stood up and walked to the front desk, and asked the clerk to borrow a copy of the express train timetable. He stood at the front desk and browsed it quickly.
The Hogwarts Express will pass through five stations in total. Judging from the time of Dunn's death, his destination is likely to be New Ravenska Village and Hogsmeade.
Xing Ze thanked the clerk and returned to his seat. He took a sip of strong tea and his brain began to work rapidly.
If Eric's destination is Hogsmeade, then Snape must have made an appointment with him to meet him there. No, maybe it's not Snape, but Dumbledore.
But what none of them expected was that the attack trapped the train in the old village of Ravenska. If the target of Cecil and his gang was not Harry Potter, but the fragment, or both, then there was
There is no reason for the train to arrive smoothly.
Many doubts remain unexplained. What role did Dumbledore play in this incident? What is that white fragment? What about the monster in the snow?
Xing Ze pressed his swollen forehead, and he picked up a pen and wrote in his notebook: The plague on Dunn Eric's wrist? Four passengers? Knockturn Alley? Severus Snape?
When he put down his pen and raised his head, he happened to see that thin man walking into the tea. He was in his thirties, about 1.75 meters tall, with dark skin and thick hair.
When people got closer, Xing Ze discovered that he had a bit of buck teeth, which made him look like a rabbit.
"I am Maxim, the administrator of Gringotts' estate." He politely took off his hat and saluted, "You must be Mr. Xing Ze."
