When Ning An left Tumbledown Alley, it was already two days later, and he and Pani? Starr sat on a coach to Perthshire, on the shores of Lake Katlin.

The golden sunlight shone through the window, and Pani caressed the chair with appreciation, turned his head sideways and whispered to Ning An:

"To this day, I still think the greatest Muggle invention is the car, and it's amazing to look at this thing, what a wonderful idea it takes to create such a prop."

There were few people in the car, the seats were basically empty, and Ning An didn't listen to what Pani said at all.

After killing Old Wiles, he slept in the little grocery store for another day and a night, and the next day he and Pani swept up all the Galleons, and after a hearty meal at the Leaky Caulddell, they set out to the address on the Quidditch ticket, on the shores of Lake Catlin, Perthshire.

Of course, they are no longer what they used to be, Ning An has become "Martin", and Pani is "Allen", who is thin and tall.

Ning An was not worried at all about Wiles's body being discovered, it was not unusual for a dark magic shop to close suddenly, this old man who had lived alone in London for more than ten years had no close friends, and it was normal for the corpse to be found only after it stinked.

He leaned against the window and looked out the window at the receding shade of the trees, but his mind was thinking about something else.

Ning An had already considered the resurrection of the stone statues of "Sephant" and "Anagram" in the Castle, and he had discussions with Sepiphant himself and Scindak, and finally chose an ancient magic to resurrect.

With the elixir of life as a potion, what he also needs is the seven main materials of this resurrection magic - blood.

In many ancient secret methods, it is believed that blood is the most abundant organization in the body of various creatures, and there are many kinds of magic with blood as the medium and core.

The so-called seven resurrection materials are all blood, but this blood comes from different people's bodies.

He needs the blood of the brave, and the blood of the vile and cowardly.

The blood of the wise is a must, as well as the blood of the foolish.

He had to get not only the blood of the good, but also the blood of the heinous evildoers

The last thing needed was the blood of the executor who performed this magic, that is, Ning An's own blood.

Ning An was thinking about where he should go to get the other six kinds of blood besides himself.

Magic is not a play on words, it doesn't mean that he just finds a good Muggle and bleeds him to get good blood, this kind of blood with no magic at all will only make magic fail.

In the same way, the blood of those wizards who are not gifted, or very weak, will also increase the possibility of magic failure, and this resurrection involves Calidora's soul, and even Ning An is considering using this as a basis to create a magic that can resurrect Calidora, so it must not be taken casually.

That is to say, if you want to get the blood of the brave, you must get the blood of the bravest, and the cowardly must be a very despicable and cowardly person.

Ning An thought in his heart, hoping to make a list in his mind, after all, he still knew a lot of people after reading it.

"I think we're almost there."

Pani pointed out the car window, which made Ning An retract his thoughts, and he looked up, only to see the sunlight seeping through the window like a piece of tissue paper.

They sprinkled on the surface of a vast lake, the sparkling waters gently rippling, cutting the morning light into strips of paper woven with even white light, which were pasted to the glass of their car windows.

Sure enough, the car drove out of the road for another time and stopped, the driver called out the name "Katlin Lake", it sounded a little tired, Ning An also forgot how long he had been driving all night last night, anyway, they finally arrived at the station.

The journey was on par with his experience on the Knight's Bus, neither of which was pretty, the conductor of the former was too annoying, and this time it was a long and scary.

"What time is it today?"

There were basically no more passengers on the car, only he and Pani got off at this stop, Ning An slowly walked out of the aisle, Martin's body was really a little "rounded" and it was not easy to squeeze out from behind the chair.

"August 21st,"

Pani walked ahead and answered him in a whisper, and as she spoke, the two of them jumped down the bus steps.

The car started with a "boom", and after expelling a circle of exhaust fumes, it drove away impatiently, as if he did not want to stay in this inaccessible place for long.

"You know, Muggle cars are much quieter than Stan's knight buses when they start." Pani was still looking at the departing bus with some reluctance, and Ning An looked at the surrounding environment.

There is a feeling that birds don't poop here, and a fairly smooth avenue is lined with endless forests, and it seems that there will be fierce beasts like tigers in the dense woods at any time, so it is certain that there must be some wild animals living here.

On the other side is the vast lake that he saw in the car before, Ning An guessed that this must be the Katlin Lake written on the ticket, and a little further away, there are only mountains covered with emerald green, which does not look like it is inhabited at all, no wonder this will become one of the locations leading to the World Cup.

Ning An even wondered if the Ministry of Magic had deliberately used magic such as the Muggle Expulsion Charm here.

Thinking so, but the movement was not slow at all, Ning An took out the hard card from the small box, which read:

"Quidditch World Cup – Final, your entry location, Perthshire – Catlin Lake – 382.21 ——......"

The letters, which originally seemed to be written in black ink, were now golden, and they seemed to come to life, dancing on the front of the card, as if celebrating some kind of grand event.

"Alright, it looks like it's here."

Ning An tapped the card with the tip of his wand, then threw away his wand, and the small black wooden stick hung in the air, and after a few turns, he immediately pointed straight into the dense forest beside the road.

Ning An secretly shouted, "Don't really have a tiger", and walked in the direction pointed out by the wand with Pani.

'I have to say, the timing of our time is really wonderful, the best thing about going to the World Cup is going a day early, and a lot of people are going there a couple of weeks early, so I have to say it's really unnecessary.

"We're not here to watch the World Cup-" Ning An walked in front and suddenly turned around and interrupted what he was afraid of you.

"Oh, but ...... Maybe in our ...... Before you do it...... Can be slightly ...... Take a look at the ...... game"

Parney nodded, but still unwilling, he seemed to really like Quidditch.

Ning An sighed, this guy seems to have become familiar with him since he came out of Nicolame's secret room, and the relationship seems to be much closer all of a sudden, the previous relationship between superiors and subordinates has gradually disappeared, and instead it has made him feel like he used to get along with Daphne.

This doesn't feel bad, after all, there are only a few people left who can give him this feeling, so Ning An didn't scold Pani, just didn't say more, and continued to follow the guidance of the wand and walk through the depths of the dense forest.

Stepping on the dry vines one by one, and stepping over the thick rhizomes exposed on the ground under the towering giant tree, which were covered with green moss, Ning An was considering whether to cut off a little, such fresh moss was a good material for making potions.

At that moment, however, the wand turned, pointing straight at the thick roots of the tree they had just crossed.

"Got to the place?"

Parney stopped and looked around suspiciously, Ning An grasped his wand floating in the air, and slowly leaned down to look under the old mossy roots.

He missed his old body very much, and even bending over and lowering his head after becoming Martin seemed to be much more difficult than before, and when he slowly lay on the ground, he brushed away the dead branches and leaves that were piled up next to the roots.

Only then did I see that under the rhizome, in the crooked place, just enough to accommodate a baby, there was a rusty and unsightly waste beverage tin can.

"I think I found it." Ning An tilted his head and shouted at Pani, who was searching next to another tree, and the tall and thin wizard hurriedly ran over, lying on the ground with agility, and also saw the iron can.

"Aha, the portkey—I guessed it!"

Pani smiled, but quickly complained dissatisfiedly: "The Ministry of Magic is really a bunch of idiots, and I don't know who will put this thing here, it's hard to find and hard to touch, I'm sure it's very uncomfortable to use this position, what a bunch of stupid people!" ”

"Okay, don't complain, put your hands on it, I'll count one, two, three."

Pani still obediently lay on his side, stretched out a hand under the small hole formed by the curved roots, and lightly tapped his finger on the tin can, Ning An also put away his wand, and touched the tin can with his fingers.

He whispered, "One, two...... Three! ”

Then he activated the portkey, and felt the same as the last time he was in Nicolame's chamber, and his navel seemed to be hooked by a hook, and he desperately pulled him into the sky, and everything around him could not be seen clearly.

Ning An finally understood why Pani was complaining, it was really uncomfortable to activate the portkey in a side-lying position, he almost felt that his waist was twisted, but he didn't have time to pay attention to this in the rapid ascent and rotation, he could only hold the small box and wand on his waist tightly, and then let himself be pulled by the inexplicable force and fly away.

Then the strength suddenly disappeared, and he fell heavily on a piece of clammy turf, and the same cry came from beside him, and Ning An knew that Pani had also landed.

"Eleven:03, from Katrin Lake - look who this is, Allen, Martin, you two guys are really coming to see the World Cup."

Ning An rubbed his waist to make sure that it was neither broken nor sprained before slowly getting up, and looked up to see two wizards in tweed suits, one holding a gold watch in his hand, and the other holding a thick roll of parchment and quills, and the person holding the gold watch seemed to know Ning An.

It should be said that he knew Martin and Allen, and he greeted them and looked at them with a sneer, while the man behind him was still writing and drawing on parchment.

"Ah...... Ha, yes, you don't have to come......"

Ning An laughed dryly, he regretted a little that he didn't use the Dementor on Martin, he didn't know who the wizard in front of him was, so he had to follow the other party's words dryly.

Parney now cleared the dirt from his body, leaned over, and looked around at the desolate, misty swamp, but there was nothing to say, and Guy didn't know the person in front of him.

Fortunately, the wizard with the gold watch took the initiative to relieve them, he leaned his face closer to the two of them, and whispered in a tone revealing the exclusive information:

"Mr. Crouch is going mad, you two suddenly disappeared from the crucible trade negotiations with the French, and he lost his adulthood, and the ministry is saying that you two Quidditch fans must be planning to come here to watch the World Cup - haha, I bet twenty Galleons with Frye for this, and you two are going to show your faces to Frye in a moment."

"yes, yes—Mr. Crouch must be angry, but hopefully he won't let us roll up and go home......"

Ning An followed his words and said, now he just wanted to leave this person quickly, although he used a compound decoction, but if he aroused suspicion, it would add a lot of unnecessary trouble.

At this time, the wizard with the parchment and quill behind him seemed to have finally finished recording, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Ning An, who immediately handed him the broken iron can in his hand, and then was thrown into a large box behind him by the man.

"The game will only start tomorrow, and now most of the people in the camp are still from the ministry, so they are busy for this game" The wizard with the gold watch squeezed his brows at Ning An, and whispered like a mosquito when he got closer:

"Well, if you don't want to be found by Mr. Crouch and the others, I've got a camp for you, so you don't have to live in the arranged place, but it might cost you a few more Galleons—"

He rubbed his hands together and looked at Ning An with an expression that you understand.

"Ah, that's a great help—" Both Pani and Ning An hurriedly showed grateful expressions

"Nobody wants to be reprimanded by their boss at the World Cup, anyway, everything will wait until the World Cup is over – let's watch the game and go back and admit our mistakes to Mr. Crouch."

As he spoke, Ning An took out a small bag full of Gareon's cloth bag and stuffed it into the hand of the wizard with the gold watch, immediately exchanging it for a big smile on the other party.

"Haha, who said that you two are two drunkards, the people in the ministry are really blind, I see, there is no one who lives better than you."

He smiled and turned around and waved at his colleague next to him

"Let's go, come with me, that place is not far from here, it was originally intended for my aunt in Serbia, but she can't come for a while, just rent it to you, it's definitely remote enough, you can buy two carnival masks and enjoy the World Cup, Mr. Crouch won't bother you."

As he spoke, he looked back at Ning An and Pani, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he made a zipper action and said:

"And no one will ever tell Mr. Crouch that you're coming to see the game, as long as you show up in front of Frye a little."

He still hadn't forgotten the bet he had made with his colleagues, Ning Jian smiled wryly, followed behind, and the three of them walked into the deserted swamp in the thick fog.
