Chapter 16: Eavesdropping
Two hours later, the woman in the form of the three Bernard came out of the room, and halfway through, Bernard suddenly turned around and walked out of the tavern with a charming little towards Bill, and soon after they left, Bill also lazily left the room, and the harvest was a cheer.
Not long after Bill left, two wizards sitting in the corner drinking silently also left the tavern calmly, unbeknownst to them, a few inconspicuous little ants attached to their wide robes and followed them.
……
Hurriedly pushing the door in, before he had time to rest, Bernard took something like a beehive from his pocket and put it on the table, attracting Jonathan and Jaquina to look at it curiously.
"Do you know why I asked Bill to leave late?" Bernard asked.
Jonathan and Jaquina looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time, looking at Bernard in confusion.
Touching his nose and organizing his words, Bernard spoke: "This alchemy item was submitted to my mentor when I was out of school, and its biggest function is to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but at that time I only had a rough model, and I have added some new ideas to it in the past two years, so you have eyes blessed today!" ”
In the end, Bernard is also a little excited, he has invested a lot of energy in these little ants over the years, and the current "ant nest" is simply different from the original, but what makes Bernard regret is that until today, he has not been able to design an "imaging" device, otherwise, he would have made a lot of money today.
Thinking so, Bernard tapped his wand on the "ant nest" lightly, and then the "rustling" sound slowly came out of the "ant nest", and after careful identification, Bernard took his wand and tapped it lightly on the "ant nest".
This time, the sound was much clearer than before, but the "rustling" sound still kept coming from the "ant nest", which made Bernard a little puzzled, is that broken?! If so, then it's embarrassing today!
As if to see Bernard's doubts, Jaquina on the side whispered, "This seems to be the sound of walking on the sand, Bernard!" ”
Jaquina's words woke Bernard up at once, yes, it was indeed the sound of walking on the sand, but why did they walk? Taking out a shorthand pen and a notebook, Bernard said, "I said you remember." ”
With just such a sentence, the quill suddenly came to life, and he drank a large sip of ink, and then happily drew a beautiful arc on the notebook.
Seeing this scene, Bernard said softly: "The target did not use 'Phantom Shifting', and it is assumed that the target has a large area of no-air settings. Ignoring the frantically beating quills, Bernard wondered what kind of large equipment could force two wizards to walk hard in the desert rather than "apparition".
Is it completely forbidden? Or is it an azimuth interference type? Or something new technology that I don't know! After thinking silently for a while, Bernard said again: "Guess that the target has an azimuth interference type forbidden air setting!" ”
After saying that, Bernard stopped talking and waited quietly for any new sound to come from the "ant nest".
……
On the other side, two burly bald wizards were dragging their thick robes through the sand, and not far away, there was a gorgeous white tent, which seemed to be their destination.
From a distance, the white tent looked like a shrunken castle, embroidered with tight silver threads at some of the seams, and in the scorching sun, the whole tent emitted a dazzling silver light, but strangely, it seemed that except for these two wizards, none of the creatures in the desert felt such a behemoth here.
"Mr. Casas, according to your orders, we have monitored all the wizards who have paid attention to the anomaly of Gringotts in Egypt recently, most of them have not moved, but three of them have obvious abnormal movements, we intercepted the letters of one of the wizards, monitored the movements of the other two, and everything is normal at present."
With that, one of the wizards stepped forward and gently placed a letter on the table, and then slowly retreated, without any additional movement during the whole process, and while he handed over the letter, the other wizard remained still standing still, motionless.
"Is it normal?" A majestic voice came from in front of the two wizards.
Hearing this majestic voice, the two tall wizards involuntarily bent slightly before continuing: "Yes, one of the other two wizards has not moved much recently, and he has been working and leaving work normally every day, partying with friends, and the other has been working overtime recently, just today he found three call girls to relax, and then rushed back to Gringotts, Egypt, he seems to have encountered some thorny problems. ”
"Really?! I see, go down! ”
"Yes!" The two wizards said yes in unison, and then slowly turned around and walked out, the whole process did not make a sound, the air was quiet and terrifying, but what the two serious wizards did not notice was that just as they turned around, two small ants fell to the ground, and then slowly hid into the shadows.
"How's that, Larence, how about I lure the snake out of the hole?" The majestic voice just now sounded briskly, and this time the tone was obviously very different from when it was to his subordinates. It seems that this time he is facing an object that he can communicate with on an equal footing.
"Very good, how about handing this letter to me? After all, he's still inside us! A shrill voice rang out in the tent.
"Of course, it's up to you how to deal with it, I can't control you, after all, we are an equal partnership!" As if he hadn't heard the accent of the words "equal cooperation," the voice called Larens didn't speak again, and the whole tent fell silent.
……
On the other side, Bernard saw that there was no sound from the "ant nest", so he took out his wand and lightly tapped the "ant nest", and then hundreds of small ants crawled out of the "ant nest" frantically, crawling in one direction in groups.
As the wand danced, Bernard whispered, "Stop." ”
With a "snap", the shorthand pen that was still hanging in the air suddenly jumped back into the cap, and then lay down quietly on the table, ignoring the shorthand pen that seemed to be tired and half dead, Bernard picked up a thick pile of records, and then looked at the Jonathan siblings solemnly.
In the same way, the Jonathan siblings also looked at Bernard solemnly, and the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and it was not difficult to read such a message from the eyes of the three of them.
"It's a big trouble this time!"
