Chapter 242, China, Ready to Go
Darkness is often associated with fear, perhaps because of the unknown, no matter how strong a person is, there will always be fear in the face of the unknown. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoPerhaps because of this, people are in awe of the night.
But at the same time, dark nights are often a good time to make plans, especially those that don't see the eye. Because in the darkness these people feel a sense of peace of mind that they have never felt before, and the darkness will always cover something.
A house, if antiques are defined by the standard of dilapidated and old, then this house can definitely be in the top ten, the top ten in the world. How dilapidated is it? Let's put it this way, this was originally a town, and now the only man-made building within a radius of ten miles is this old house.
It stands to reason that a house that has been abandoned for so long should have become a paradise for animals, but tonight was an exception. The birds and beasts that inhabited it, including rats, all escaped. Because the instincts of animals tell them that it is dangerous here.
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in a room on the second floor, probably the first time in a hundred years that the room had seen such a brightness.
"My master, you really shouldn't be in a house like this!"
A Mediterranean man stooped over and smiled, smiling and "licking his face" looking at a sofa that covered the person sitting on it, but a pale and thin arm hung down weakly.
If Bruce Harry saw that "Fat Circle", they would definitely pull out his wand and rush forward, because this guy is Peter Pettigrew who ran away.
Naturally, there is only one person who can be called his master, and perhaps it is not appropriate to say that he is a human being now, he is more like a walking corpse.
A low, hoarse voice rang out: "Peter, when did you become so picky?" If I'm not mistaken, you made the gutter your home not long ago! Or is it ...... Are you tired of serving me? ”
"No, no! My master! Pettigrew hurriedly fell to his knees and said tremblingly, "I'm just saying...... Maybe...... Maybe we don't have to be so complicated, we can do without that boy. ”
"Shut up!" The voice suddenly rose a few decibels: "That boy is everything, it can't be done without him!" ”
Even raising his voice was enough to weaken him, and a young bearded man hurried to the couch to give his master vitality with his magic powers.
"That's enough, little Barty!" The voice regained its depth and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”
The young man named Little Barty immediately said, "Don't worry, my master! I won't let you down. ”
"Good. But now, my old ministry must be summoned. The voice said.
Barty and Pettigrew were stunned, and Pettigrew hurriedly said, "My master, please forgive me for the collision, our plan is not easy for more people to know. ”
"Master, Peter is right. I'm enough for one person. Barty Jr. said confidently.
"Huh! Are you one? No, no! The voice sneered and said, "You don't have one, two are not enough, and three is still not enough." I want more people. ”
Barty Jr. was surprised and said, "I understand how important Harry Potter is to you, but why do you need so many people?" ”
"Harry Potter is your mission, Crouch." The voice said, "And those people are going to kill!" ”
"Who?" Little Barty immediately said, "My master, I can do him now." ”
The voice sneered, "No, Krach. I'm afraid it's you who will be done. ”
"Master!" Pettigrew cautiously asked, "Are you talking about Bruce Sterling?" ”
"Huh! Peter, you've finally been smart for once. The voice sneered.
Little Barty immediately said: "Master, I'm ...... now"
"You should keep your mouth shut now...... Ahem! ”
Little Barty hurriedly transmitted the magic power again, and said in a panic: "Master, please don't get excited. ”
Little Barty's face was very pale, and he had little magic left, but he was still willing to give his magic.
"Whew!" The voice subsided, and after a moment of silence in the room, he asked, "Do you know why you killed him?" ”
Pettigrew immediately said, "Bruce Sterling, very dangerous! My master. ”
"Humph!" Little Barty sneered, "It's just a kid in danger. ”
"No, you're all wrong." The voice said, "Because he's too much like me when he was younger, but I won't allow another Voldemort." Anyway, you remember, Harry Potter and Bruce Sterling, these two men must be brought to me. We have been setting up this game for two years, and once it succeeds......"
Little Barty immediately knelt on the ground, raised his hands and let out a crazy smile, and said excitedly: "The era of the Dark Lord will come again!" ”
"Huh! Hehe! ”
Grim laughter echoed in the empty room.
And Bruce and Harry, who were already asleep at this moment, could not have imagined that someone had dragged them into a huge trap in that darkness.
The next day, after his morning workout, Bruce went to visit Mr. Ollivander at the wand shop in Diagon Alley. Then I plan to spend the whole day in the studio, but this day is no longer like before, buried in a wand of body and mind. It's not that he's bored with making wands, it's that Bruce has something on his mind.
Ollivanders saw that Bruce had something on his mind and told him to go back early, and when he returned, Bruce went straight back to his room and lay down on the bed, thinking about his hometown all the time.
"How can I go to China? Alas, what to do? Bruce lay on the bed and said to himself: "It takes too much time to take the train, and the ferry takes longer, so take a plane, and my little kid must be asking questions, even if it passes." Where do I go to find those who live in seclusion? ”
Bruce really wanted to take advantage of this summer vacation to go back to China, but if he didn't want to, he couldn't stop the urge to think about it.
"Huh! What if you change shapeshifts? Bruce suddenly said, "I can't do it myself, or I'll break the school rules." Dobby! Dobby can help. Even if you can't go directly to China, you can fly there with a broomstick as long as you can get closer. Well, it works! ”
But thinking about it, Bruce was in trouble again, because even if he went to China, he didn't know where to go, and where could he find a group of hermits that no one had seen in China.
Bruce thought for a long time and couldn't think of a way, and finally sat up suddenly and said, "Mom, since you can't think of it, just ask." Yes, the easiest way! ”
With that, Bruce got out of bed and went to the table to write a letter, then ran out of the door and shouted, "Mr. Tom, I'll borrow your owl." ”
Hermione had said before that China's "wizards" lived in seclusion deep in the mountains and forests, and no one had ever seen their traces. Bruce himself had consulted the information, and there was almost no record of this part, so Bruce asked the most reliable person to ask, their headmaster, Dumbledore.
I thought that Dumbledore's fastest reply would be tomorrow, but I didn't expect Mr. Tom's owl to return in the evening. When I opened the envelope, a wave of ecstasy spread through my heart.
There was a letter in the envelope, but there was not a word on it, and the point was that there was a piece of parchment, and on it was a map, and on it was an English "hubei" that Bruce knew very well.
Seeing this Bruce understood, Dumbledore must have known what he was thinking, and surprisingly he really knew where the Chinese "wizards" were, and he might have even been there looking at that map, so the blank piece of paper was probably a letter of recommendation.
"Good guy, this is called deep hidden!" Bruce said excitedly.
Now for Bruce, everything is all he needs to do, and the next goal is to discuss the matter with Dobby, and of course there are still many things to prepare. It just so happened that there was a knock on the door.
"Bang Bang!"
"Bruce, are you there?" Dobby's voice.
Bruce immediately opened the door, and Dobby stood in the doorway with something: "Bruce, here's some snack I've made for you to eat." ”
"Thank you!" Bruce took the snack and invited Dobby into the house, then said, "That's right, Dobby, I need your help!" ”
Dobby immediately said, "Bruce is Dobby's friend, and Dobby is willing to do anything for you." ”
Bruce laughed, "That's great, Dobby!" Thank you first, and then I want to ask something. ”
Dobby asked, "Of course." ”
Bruce nodded and asked, "Dobby, what is the farthest distance you can use your shapeshift, and how many times can you use it?" ”
Bruce said in the book when learning to change shapeshifts, there is no distance limit for shapeshifts, as long as you know enough about the destination in your heart and are clear enough, distance is not a problem. The important thing is purpose, determination, and calmness. But this time it was too far away, at least Bruce hadn't heard of anyone moving that far.
Dobby immediately said: "If it's just Dobby himself, then Dobby can go anywhere." Of course, if the distance is very long, Dobby will still move a few more times. As for the number of times? Dobby didn't count. ”
Bruce nodded, calculated in his mind, and asked, "Dobby, how long would it take if you took me to China or close to that?" ”
"China?" Dobby was stunned and said in surprise, "This...... This Dobby really doesn't know. ”
Bruce said, "Okay, Dobby! Actually, I want to go to China, but I don't want to waste too much time, so I want to ask you for help. ”
Dobby said, "Bruce, Dobby really doesn't know how long it will take to go this far, but Dobby is willing to help. ”
"That's great!" Bruce said excitedly, "Thank you so much. Dobby! ”
Dobby smiled and said, "You're welcome, Bruce! Is it to go now? ”
"Of course not, we still need to prepare something," Bruce said. When do you rest? ”
"Three days later." Dobby said.
Bruce nodded and said, "Okay, we'll leave in three days." ”
Although Dobby agrees to help with a destination, he still needs to be well prepared for Bruce. The most important thing is the map, and the key to shapeshifting is familiarity with the target, so Bruce gives Dobby all the maps he can find. Of course, just in case, Bruce also bought some potions to increase his mana in Diagon Alley.
Just three days later, Bruce was ready to send out! (To be continued.) )
