Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 440: Deep into the secret manor
To be honest, Maca flew a bit unscrupulously today because he felt that he might have to be in a hurry.
Although it's dark over London, it's still bright on New York. When Maca passed the sky over the city under the phantom spell, he even caught a glimpse of a group of Aurors apparating in the shadows on the street corner.
Obviously, they have been very busy during this time.
After all, the silent person's destructive ability is still very powerful. If it's flying in the air, it's good to say, at most it is just watching a group of dark fireworks. But if they want to go through the wall and dig through the ground, the Muggles' fun will be great.
"...Oh, I remember, in the United States, they are called "Maji"?"
Maca murmured casually, and at the same time increased the flight speed by one level again, and headed straight toward the north of New York.
His destination is the River Edge District of New Jersey from the mouth of Joshua.
It didn't take long for him to turn around abruptly, and after grasping the magic book under his feet, he jumped straight up in the sky, and landed on a bare lawn.
The more buildings that cast a lot of spells, the easier it is to spread complex magical fluctuations. If you don't pay attention, Maca won't be able to find it all at once, but now he has got a rough position from Joshua.
As he approached the ground, he instantly swung his staff down under him, and a majestic updraft quickly offset his falling speed.
When Kankan landed steadily, he walked straight to the empty front.
"It should be right here."
Maca stretched out his left hand without the staff, and fumbled in the air for a while. After a few minutes, he seemed to have grasped something, and then gently pumped out.
Immediately he took a step forward without hesitation, and sank into an invisible barrier like a fish entering the water.
In fact, using certain brute force methods will definitely be faster, but in fact, Maca also needs this barrier to help him cover it, lest the American Auror comes too fast and affects what he wants to do.
After entering the barrier, on the lawn with nothing in front of him, there was immediately a small private estate with a small area that was not too large, but was quite luxurious in terms of decoration.
"There are quite a few curses..." Maca crossed the iron fence door directly in front, sensed the big house inside, and said secretly, "It's not too much trouble."
In this manor, not only defensive magic is solidified on the buildings, but many warning spells are cast in the front garden. It's just that from Maca's point of view, these spells are not out of the normal category, and it won't take too much effort to crack.
Currently, there are still hostages in the opponent's hand, and he doesn't want to disturb others because of being too rude. What if someone threatens him with the girl named "Zoe", then he can do it? Is it better not to do it?
"...If you really get there, let's talk about it!"
Maca pointed the wand held in his right hand to the iron fence door, and with a magical shock, the door opened silently in a blink of an eye.
He looked around, and after a little judgment, he stepped forward.
It was during those few steps that Maca advanced, his whole body began to enter a rather rapid Animagus transformation. After just three or four steps, the big body suddenly shrank into an unremarkable hummingbird, and flew into the premise suddenly.
Though the warning spells in the garden are quite intricate, within the sensing range of Maca, the threads and symbols made of magic appear quite clear.
Yes, whether it is clever analysis or forcible destruction, it is a means to break into it. But in addition to this, there is also a way to selectively avoid this.
Maca’s Animagus form is surprisingly small, and it can hover extremely stably in the air. Except for a few of the curses that exist in the form of "faces", he can almost get past them directly.
No matter how familiar you are, cracking will always take a certain amount of time. Avoiding them can save you some time-consuming steps.
But I saw that little hummingbird leaping up and down in the garden. Although occasionally there was a pause for tens of seconds or a minute or two, it was spinning forward most of the time.
Not long after, Maca came to a window on the first floor of the manor.
After he turned back into a human form again, the staff was lightly tapped directly on the window frame. At the moment when the curse was quietly broken, the window suddenly opened, and he flexibly rolled over and got in.
Once you enter the house, your actions will be much smoother. After all, no one will set too many spells in the room where you need to walk all the time.
After giving herself another phantom spell, Maca walked quickly along the corridor.
It seems that there are still a lot of people staying in the house, because he can actually sense the unusual magical fluctuations. But most of those people stayed in the room honestly-some stayed together, some only had one or two people.
Maca didn't know why the old wizard Lenny had to distribute this way, but he knew that those strange magic fluctuations must be silent ones.
The two people he was looking for were an ordinary witch named Zoe, and the other a dark wizard named Lenny. This means that he only needs to find normal magic fluctuations.
It’s obviously not difficult for him, is it?
Maca wandered around in this house, and he didn't see any of the silent ones controlled by the old wizard, and every corridor seemed a little empty.
Obviously those people are in the room, but no one dared to walk out of their room casually. It can be seen that the old wizard still controls them very firmly.
"It took a lot of thought, right?" Maca stood in front of a descending staircase, looking at the underground floor flooded by darkness, and muttered to himself silently, "After preparing for so long, I naturally think It’s not weird to do a good job."
Most powerful dark wizards also have their own beliefs. It's just that this belief always deviates from the order, which will cause all kinds of disasters.
Although Maca disagrees with their intentions, his firm conviction is worthy of affirmation.
Since you have chosen a path that belongs to you, you can only believe that you will stick to it. The sights ahead of the magic journey are usually unknown.
To blame, you can only blame them for taking the wrong path from the beginning, nothing more.
Maca only paused for a while, made herself more vigilant, and soon raised her leg and walked in the darkness below the stairs.
This is a zigzag stone staircase. After several turns, a faint light came from below. When Maca walked across a platform again, he saw some low-bright torches propped on the side stone wall.
The flames on the torches are a blueish cold flame, still swaying slightly in the windless underground. Maca knew that those magic flames were so fluctuating because of the flow of magic.
From the direction of the flame swing, it seems that there are still some interesting things hidden underneath, which are constantly absorbing the magic power in the air, forcing them to flow in the same direction.
Maca turned his head to look at the flames, but did not stop at the slightest, and soon stepped onto a long underground corridor.
From here, the number of curse traces began to increase dramatically. Maca walked forward cautiously, and at the beginning he unwrapped a few traps, but later he simply changed into the form of Animagus, passing directly through the gap in the corner.
There are very few rooms on both sides of this corridor, and a stone door will appear after a long distance. Most of the stone gates were empty rooms. Maca cracked several doors in a row, and then he didn't bother to open it for observation.
Think about it, after all, this is only the second stronghold. The old wizard just moved from the mirrored space of the monastery not long ago, so naturally he won't use all the places so quickly~IndoMTL.com~Um ? "
Maca, who was flying forward, suddenly stopped in mid-air. After he regained his sense of the space inside a stone gate next to him, he lifted his Animagus form.
In the next second, as if he didn't intend to conceal his existence anymore, the staff in his hand suddenly pointed towards the stone gate.
"Boom!"
The powerful smashing curse shot out, completely blasting the thick stone gate to pieces, and even the enchanting curse attached to it was destroyed.
As the stone chips flew, he walked in under the dust, and immediately caught a glimpse of the delicate figure with his hands hanging in the air.
Other than that, there is nothing else in this underground stone chamber.
"Looking at her dress and appearance, it should be the Zoe described by Joshua. It's just..." Maca hurried forward and stretched out her hand to explore. "...It turned out that the magic was broken and dead. ?"
With a swift wave of his staff, a black skull rushed toward the woman, but easily passed through the opponent's body and disappeared behind her.
"...it's no help."
Maca frowned, thought for a moment, then turned around and walked out.
As Dumbledore said, don’t pity the dead too much, because those who are still alive need help more. Right now he must go to the source of the abnormal flow of magic power as soon as possible to take a look, maybe he can still gain something.
To put it bluntly, even the silent people here are not bad guys. What he is looking for is just the culprit that caused this to happen.
But just as he walked to the door, a strange wave spread from the depths of the corridor outside. The magic power in the air that had been flowing in, suddenly the flow rate skyrocketed at this moment.
"...what happened to this?"
