Chapter 1116: The Battle in Tumble Alley
People often don't mean someone like Dumbledore or Maca when they say someone is good.
Because when a person suddenly praises another person, it is inevitable that he has already compared himself in the bottom of his heart, and he feels that he seems to be inferior, so he can give a compliment.
And a wizard like that, who is called outstanding in the global wizarding world, is basically difficult to compare with himself.
Or vice versa:
When you find that you can't be jealous of someone, then that person is either worse than you, or you must be far beyond the limits of what you can expect from yourself.
Therefore, when Maca came into people's eyes with Voldemort, Greenwald, and even the current Helbo, his rise not only did not arouse too much doubt and jealousy, but also gained a lot of popularity among the younger generation of wizards.
However, others who also have talents and abilities may not be able to "accumulate in a low-key manner and explode at the right time" like him.
For example, the current head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic and one of the outstanding wizards of the Order of the Phoenix, Kingsley Shackle.
To be honest, although he looked older, he was actually much younger than Sirius and the others. But his magical talent and command skills are better than those of most other wizards.
It's just that because his "excellence" is not beyond people's reach, his life is not as smooth as people see.
In fact, as far as the position of the head of the Auror office is concerned, there are still several people eyeing it!
But fortunately, Kingsley is not only outstanding in personal ability, but also has a really good eye for people. Not to mention those overt struggles, at least secretly, he first joined the Order of the Phoenix with Dumbledore, and now he is walking by Maca's side steadily.
There is no doubt that this is a smart person.
Pansy, however, doesn't like "smart people" like Kingsley.
As mentioned before, her brother Perseth failed to compete with the wrong person in the workplace. Although it was not Kingsley who competed with him for the position at that time, among those who did not decline but rose during that period of frequent changes in power, he seemed to have benefited the most, except for Scrimgeur.
Unfortunately, even if Pansy didn't want to see him, she still had to do what Maca said.
When she exited the elevator and crossed a hallway, she turned another corner and soon saw two oak doors that were open. Inside those two doors, a large open office area with messy and noisy voices immediately came into her eyes.
In the sky between the small office cubicles, enchanted paper airplanes circled back and forth, each flying from one compartment to another, carrying documents and messages.
This is the Auror office.
Truth be told, Pansy's father hadn't brought her here before. So when she saw the scene in front of her, there was only one word left in her mind - chaos!
But she didn't know that this place was not so chaotic as the first day.
"Well, who are you? Something to do here? β
Suddenly, a witch with one eye covered in an eyepatch popped up from her cubicle and stared at Pansy and asked.
Although the other party's one-eyed appearance was a little scary, as soon as he opened his mouth like this, his tone and expression were unexpectedly quite gentle.
Upon the veiled female Auror, Pansy hurriedly replied:
"I'm here to find Mr. Kingsley Shackle, is he there?"
"Looking for Kingsley?" When the auror heard this, she turned around and pointed to the door in the innermost part of the office area, "He hasn't come back yet, if you have anything urgent to do, I suggest you consult with anyone here...... Except, of course, me. β
"Oh, uh......," Pansy said hesitantly, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just coming back from the American wizarding world and want to tell him something about it." β
"I see," the Auror said, glancing at the badge on her chest, beckoning, "then go and wait for him in his office!" It's time for lunch in a little while, and I think he'll be back soon. β
β¦β¦
Would Kingsley go back early for lunch, as his female colleague said?
All right! Originally, he really wanted to return to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible, after all, although this search operation seemed to be very important on the surface, in fact, it was just creating momentum according to Maca's instructions.
Therefore, when it was time to eat, he was not so busy that he couldn't even spare time to fill his stomach.
It's a pity that he won't be able to eat this lunch until later.
"It's really worthy of the talent that Helbo has gathered...... Not to mention ability, just the courage is not small, is this planning to capture me in turn? β
In an abandoned house in Tumbledown Alley, Kingsley looked solemn with his wand in hand. Because he found that he seemed to be temporarily trapped here by the Anti-Apparition Shifting Charm.
Previously, Kingsley had spotted Martin in one of the alleys of Tumbledown Alley. If it is according to Maca's meaning, then although he doesn't really have to catch the other party when he meets Martin, he can't just turn a blind eye.
Kingsley knew that he should at least put more pressure on the fugitive Martin through constant pursuit.
However, I don't know if it was because he put too much pressure on the other party, or because the other party was very tolerant, he found out that Martin was actually targeting him in turn.
So, Kingsley, who didn't expect this at first, still fell for the other party's calculations.
It was a long-abandoned house, perhaps because its former owner had no heirs, so the property gradually became ownerless.
If I have to say, there are many more legacy assets like this.
Because almost every year, one or two once glorious families suddenly come to an end, and after no one inherits them, those inheritances are either occasionally discovered and collected by scavengers, or completely abandoned in some inconspicuous place like this house.
Kingsley had thought that Martin had taken refuge in the house, for he had seen Martin climb through the window into the house under his unhurried pursuit.
But after he looked outside for a while, and found that the other party had not come out of it, he also wanted to go in to see the specific situation.
But he didn't expect that Martin would directly set up an anti-illusion disfigurement charm and several other protective spells in this house, and instead trapped him here.
Kingsley frowned slightly, and was about to force his way out with a few powerful smashing spells, when a voice suddenly rang out from a corner of the room.
"Hello, Chief Shakel!"
It was undoubtedly Martin's voice - even if he changed his voice slightly with great restraint, it was naturally impossible to hide from Kingsley, who had been following him for a long time.
"Hello," Ginsley said, "what, are you planning to attack the Aurors?" β
"How could it be ......?"
Martin, who was invisible, couldn't help but pout when he heard this.
"I don't want to attack you, you see! Do I have any spells that cause harm to people...... No, not really. He said, "I just want to use you to go to the Ministry of Magic for another person." β
"Oh?"
Kingsley clenched the wand in his hand and stood still, his eyes roaming around the corner where the voice sounded.
"I have to say, it's actually a bad idea. Don't try to trade me for hostages, it's impossible - how many people do you think will care if I live or die? β
"Hmph," Martin snorted, "at least that's McLean, and that's enough for me to see." β
"Are you sure?" Kingsley listened, and then chuckled, "I didn't say that...... I ask you, how much do you know about Maca? β
"I know at least more than you think."
Seeing that Martin did seem to be very confident in his judgment, Kingsley couldn't help but shake his head secretly. It seems that he can't convince this guy just by talking about it.
After a moment's pause, Kingsley simply raised his hand and poked his wand out.
"Since you're so confident, I don't seem to need to say anything more......" he pointed to the corner of the room with the tip of his staff, and finally said, "Then let me see if you have the strength to take me!" β
Before he could finish speaking, a red light silently burst out from the tip of his staff, forming a shockwave in an instant and heading straight for the corner of the wall.
"Bang!"
As there was a splash of wood chips, Kingsley kept on his feet, moving slightly sideways and running forward.
Judging by his years of experience with dark wizards, Martin was probably on the opposite side, if not in that corner.
Therefore, when facing the enemy, you should not only pay attention to the front, but also pay attention to the behind.
Sure enough, the moment he left the place, the floor he was standing on exploded.
Kingsley, who kept moving, didn't look back, because he could tell just by listening to the sound that it must be a powerful explosive spell.
The next moment, Kingsley waved his wand back with his backhand, and cast an iron armor spell just as two successive disarming spells were about to arrive.
For a moment, scattered particles of magic light scattered throughout most of the room.
"Tsk-"
Martin was unhappy right nowβhe had been with Helmo for so long, but he was still an ordinary wizard when it came to his magical prowess.
Even if his own magical talent wasn't bad, it seemed to him that it was still a bit of a joke in the past.
He wanted to learn the "real magic"!
