Chapter 1158: Hesitation
Potions have never been more than just medicines, and they can do much more than just heal and heal.
Depending on the potions' effectiveness, some can release aerosols to poison people, some can spray the body to weaken black magic, and even armor hardeners can be used to wipe metal armor and make it stronger.
And when Martin decided to take Muriel away immediately, he used a potion with a special effect.
Since the potion was inadvertently crafted by Muriel, it has no name, although it has a unique effect, but it was not Muriel's original intention. But its own effect is by no means useless.
Like Polyjuice Potions, this potion requires a creature to be placed in its skin, nails, or hair before it can be used, and then a replica of the creature's appearance can be conjured.
The difference with the compound decoction is that it is not for people to drink.
With Muriel's original idea and purpose, she actually wanted to create a potion that could resurrect others. Obviously, she had failed, but her failed potion had the power to permanently replicate the body.
It must be said that this is actually more than the existing potions of the same type.
I think that when Voldemort was trying to resurrect himself, he also considered using some kind of ancient dark magic potion recipe - borrowing his father's bones, servants' flesh, and the blood of his enemies to reshape his body. But although the body shaped by that potion can match his soul, it can only be said to be human-like in appearance.
However, Muriel's potion can replicate the body of a creature almost perfectly, and it is not as time-limited as Transfiguration.
Right now, Martin is trying to use this potion to make a new copy of Muriel and put it back in his cell. Although the body didn't exist, the mere fact of being able to stand aimlessly on its own was enough to fool the Ministry of Magic for a long time.
……
After a while, when the two Auror guards at the prison door suddenly came to their senses, they only felt a swelling pain in the back of their heads. They turned their heads almost at the same time, looked at each other and then looked into their cells.
The figure of "Muriel" was still sitting in a distracted cell, the door was still closed, and the lock was intact...... It's as if nothing has happened.
"It's ...... Oh! What's wrong with my head...... It's like you've just been kicked by a Hippogriff. ”
"Did someone sneak up on you," the colleague on the other side rubbed the back of his head and gasped, "I think it's more like a stun spell - you know, I was transferred to the strike crew before, and I was hit in the head by the dark wizard's stun spell, that's how it felt!" ”
"Sneak attack?" The Auror watchman at the beginning paused, then looked into the prison again, "Hey! ”
Inside, "Muriel" heard the voice, and turned her head slowly and slowly, but she swallowed slowly as before.
"The only prisoner is still here," said the Auror, frowning, "and even if someone did attack us, what was he up to?" ”
Just thinking about it, the two were stunned almost at the same time, and then looked at each other again and said:
"The courtroom!"
"What courtroom? What happened to the courtroom? ”
Just as the two of them suddenly felt that someone was about to disrupt the verdict, the Auror, who was in charge of the patrol, happened to pace past the two of them.
"That's it-"
One of the guards was about to tell them both of them that they were having a headache at the same time, but when he had finished, the inspector looked left and right with a puzzled expression.
"I've been patrolling this corridor just now, huh? How could it be that someone did something to you and I didn't notice anything? ”
For a while, the wordless staring at each other suddenly changed from two to three.
"I'll go to the eighth courtroom."
Remembering Kingsley's previous admonition to "keep an eye on the courtroom", the inspector walked briskly into the hallway, although he had no problems himself.
"Squeak-"
He opened the door of the eighth courtroom a little, but when he looked inside, he found that most of the eyes on the interrogation table fell on him at once.
"Piano, what's wrong?"
It was Scrimgeour who was sitting in the middle, and it was obvious that he seemed to be a little bored at the moment - this trial against Eruly was just a formality, and he had only said a total of five sentences so far, and the focus had to be on the next Flint mother and son.
"Oh, no...... It's nothing. ”
When the patrolman surnamed Piano saw the minister's drooping eyes, he thought he was in a bad mood, and quickly shook his head.
Scrimgeour watched the door to the courtroom close again, and was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Maybe it's just a patrol to take a look at the situation in the courtroom!" Kingsley shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, Piano has always been a conscientious man. ”
"Oh!"
There are so many staff members in the Ministry of Magic, where does Scrimgeour remember each one. Hearing Kingsley mention this, he nodded and said suddenly:
"Yes, we at the Ministry of Magic are looking for someone like Piano who is thoughtful - if necessary, you might consider signing him a promotion."
Kingsley immediately smiled and said:
"Of course, I'll think about it."
When Scrimgeour turned his head to listen to the interrogation again, he gave Pansy a sneaky look.
Martin may have done it, and Piano had discovered something unusual. But probably because there was no obvious evidence, Piano could only run to the courtroom to look at it.
Not to mention whether this is a guess or not, at least in Kingsley's opinion, this should be the situation on the outside.
Pansy, who was sitting in the corner of the jury box, felt Kingsley's gaze and nodded slightly—apparently she thought the same way.
Did Martin succeed?
If he really took Muriel without leaving too many traces, it must be said that his ability is really not small. After all, the three Aurors outside were not newcomers, and it was not an easy thing to save people under their noses without being directly discovered.
However, although Martin can take people out of the dungeon with guards and inspectors, he may not be able to leave the Ministry of Magic on his own with Muriel.
It's hard enough to get out of here without anyone knowing.
……
As Pansy and Kingsley expected, Martin hadn't been able to escape with Muriel yet. Tight security and a fully covered anti-illusion spell forced him to hide in a nearby corner after barely getting back to the security lane.
The invisibility effect is time-limited, not to mention that he still has an immobile Muriel, and the potion consumption is more than twice as high as when he came in?
"Do you really have to rely on Parkinson's?"
Hiding behind a pillar in the corner, Martin held Muriel against the wall with one hand, and peeked out with the other - although the view here was not particularly good, at least few people would notice the two of them.
But just when Martin decided to take it safe and was about to wait patiently for a while, he was grabbing Muriel's wrist when he felt the other party's hand move.
"It's going to be out of service so soon?" He hurriedly turned back to the back of the pillar, raised his wand and aimed it at Muriel, and silently said, "All petrified." ”
After reapplying a full-body restraint charm to prevent accidents, Martin couldn't help but frown.
It's too risky to cast spells here from time to time, even if the whole body binding spell doesn't have any conspicuous magical phenomena, but there are too many magic detection tools near the security strip, who knows if there will be any unfortunate reaction!
After pondering this, he poked his head out again and looked out a few times, trying to find a way to get through the security desk safely on his own.
Yes, maybe it won't be easy, but he needs to get out of this damn place as soon as possible.
"A Confusion Spell...... That's right, a strong enough Obfuscation Charm! ”
Martin stared at the gold wire on the edge of the table at the security desk, nodded to himself, and suddenly clenched the wand in his right hand tighter.
Confusion spells can be applied to both people and objects, but in practice, the two can be seen as two very different spells.
When used on humans, the stronger the mana activity, the worse the effect; When used on inanimate items, it will obviously be more difficult for objects with magical effects to take effect.
"Obfuscating—"
With the mindset of giving it a try anyway, Martin unleashed a silent confusion spell at the golden thread while one of the wizards was passing through the security checkpoint.
Just for a moment, the golden thread flickered as if it was unstable, causing the security wizard to think that this time the golden thread was really out of order.
"Huh? Why is it lit up and then it doesn't light up? Lady, please wait here for a moment! ”
Looking at the security wizard picking up his wand and starting to adjust the gold wire, Martin could only shake his head slightly. The Confusion Spell can take effect, but the time is too short, and it is not ordinarily difficult to squeeze through with an immobile person in such a narrow passage, and to consider the time limit.
He hesitated behind the pillar for a moment, his frowning brow tightly locked, and his heart was troubled.
Or else, as you did when you first came in, and think of a similar way to cause a small commotion? Martin raised his wand, then hesitated to put it down, not knowing for a moment whether to repeat it.
But at this moment, he heard a familiar voice suddenly ringing in his ears.
"Horse ...... Fourth? ”
He stiffened as if he had been caught in a full-body bondage spell, and after a moment of froze, he couldn't help but turn around quickly.
"Muriel, are you sober?"
