268. Yaxley minus two
On the night of 22 June, Rimbaud carried Scott across the dark ocean, stopping at a towering cliff facing the sea on the Isle of Man.
It is a maritime island between England and Ireland.
"I didn't expect that there were wizards hiding on this island." After landing on the ground, Scott casually sighed, "I remember that this island is a British Crown Dependency. ”
He stood on top of the cliff, looking at the sea breeze at the dark sea in the night below.
A few crows chirped.
Scott turned to look behind him, "Are the crows coming?" ”
As he spoke, he activated the [amputated arm bone] in his pocket and waved his wand to restore Rimbaud to his normal size.
A few crows flew in front of him through the night and chirped at Rimbaud a few more times.
"Let's go, Scott." Rimbaud said to Scott, "Their Alex family's castle is over there." ”
It flew slowly towards the other side of the cliff along with several crows.
Scott's wand was on himself and he cast a disillusionment spell on himself.
A cold aura enveloped his body, and his body slowly blended into his surroundings.
"I'll follow."
He answered, and walked after them.
The moonlight was hazy, and Scott could not afford to be illuminated, so he could only walk slowly, and it took a while for him to reach his destination under the guidance of the crow.
"Is that there?"
He stood at the top of a cliff overlooking the sea, looking out into the bay in front of him, the small castle that seemed to be embedded in the rugged cliffs.
At this time, the castle was brightly lit and crowded, and although he could not hear it here, it was obviously extremely lively there.
Scott took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and whispered, "The banquet is almost over." ”
By the time the ravens found the Axley family castle using the method he had described, the feast was about to begin, and he and Rimbaud had arrived only after getting the news, and of course the feast was nearing its end.
"Closer."
Scott squinted, his magic sense fully open, and walked slowly towards the cliff above the castle.
However, he stopped when he was still a kilometer or so above the castle.
He sensed the fluctuations of mana in front of him.
I also know that as the foundation of a pure-blood family, there will be strong protective magic protection on the periphery.
He decided to go down first.
Taking the broomstick from the deformed lizard's leather pouch, Scott sits on the broomstick and flies straight down the cliff.
He decided to come in person on the spur of the moment.
Of course, he didn't do anything to venture into the castle's interior, but thought it would be best to get a closer look for himself.
Riding a broomstick, Scott came to the bottom of the cliff by a pier hidden among the reefs.
At this time, there was an old and ornate wooden sailing ship parked on the pier.
Scott looked up at the castle above, and there was indeed an exceptionally steep path that led to the castle gates.
He didn't rush over, but left a listening bat next to the dock and flew up on a broomstick.
He spun against the cliff for a moment, and finally hid in the shadows in a crack in a large rock above the dock.
Rimbaud flew in after him.
It wasn't long before he saw several flying carriages flying from the castle and piercing the night sky into the distance.
It seems that the banquet is over.
Neither Scott nor Rimbaud said a word, and continued to wait quietly.
After about 20 minutes, the group followed the steep path to the pier.
The sound of their voices soon reached Scott's ears as well.
Scott listened for a moment, and suddenly stretched his eyebrows.
There were two members of the Yaxley family in the crowd, one was Liam, the heir of the Yaxley family? Yaxley, the other is the new dueling champion Jack? Yaxley, they were apparently seeing off their guests.
It's a great opportunity.
Scott made a decisive decision to go ahead.
He could tell that the guests were not English wizards, and that the accents seemed to be from France.
Scott didn't care about the French.
He just watched the French board and leave, and watched the two Yaxleys wave goodbye to the starting ship.
The sailboat sped away as soon as it started.
This took Scott by surprise, and he was a little curious about the actual power of the sailboat.
But for now, he didn't have time to think about it, but kept a close eye on the conversation between the two Yaxleys.
"Good work, Brother Liam." Gak? Yax used a respectful tone to Liam? Yaxley said.
Liam? Yaxley just said lightly: "It's nothing, I just hope that you can inherit everything from the Travers family smoothly, and then our brothers will work together to make Yaxley and Travers strong together." ”
His voice was hoarse, but the tone of his voice was deliberately emphasized, which was very annoying.
But Jacques? Yaxley was obviously used to it, and he replied with some excitement, "I'll try, brother Liam." ”
As they spoke, the two began to walk back.
Scott waited silently until they reached the crevice in the rock where he was.
Did he hear Liam? In an unpleasant tone, Yax said, "The two family's chosen contenders also appeared at the dinner, what do you think of them, Gack?" ”
"Don't worry, Brother Liam, I'm the best fit for Travers." Ark? Yaxley said confidently.
"Hmph, of course those portraits of the Travers family will choose you!"
Liam? Yaxley sneered a smirk.
"As my father said, Travers needs a wizard who can directly take on the family, not a seedling who needs to be raised to grow up."
Gack hurriedly agreed, and praised their father in the air.
In a crevice in the rocks above, Scott smiled in the darkness.
He opened a matchbox that looked unremarkable.
The melt-in-your-mouth midges were already under his personal control, silently flying downward.
After Bock's death, this useful little flying insect has become his "standing weapon".
At this moment, in Scott's perception, the small bug, which was barely visible to the naked eye, had taken advantage of the two Mr. Yaxley to take advantage of their words and flew into their mouths.
Their skin is essentially glutinous rice paper, which melts when it comes into contact with saliva.
This is equivalent to the Transfiguration being damaged, and it will be restored to its original state in an instant.
The two Yaxleys came to their senses but it was too late, and the deadly poison had melted in their mouths.
"What is this!" Liam? Yaxley roared in rage.
"Brother!" Jack let out an exclamation, then his voice faded, "I...... I also...... This ......"
Immediately, Scott watched as the two fell to the ground.
There was a "pop", and a house-elf suddenly appeared, letting out a piercing scream while pulling the two brothers and disappearing in place.
Immediately after, with another "pop" sound, a white-haired old man appeared.
The old wizard immediately turned his head in Scott's direction and waved his wand decisively.
"Avada suo!"
A leap of green light flew towards the crack in the rock.
At the last moment, Scott, who was holding Rimbaud, activated the silver snake necklace on his wrist and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
