After pouring Mr. Bode with a vial of Truth Elixir, Scott finally relented and transformed into a peregrine falcon again, burrowing into the inside of the cell through a small window.

Rimbaud was outside the prison and was in charge of releasing the wind for him.

When Scott landed on the ground, he regained his human form, walked up to Mr. Bald, and looked down at him.

"What's your name?"

"Broderick? Bodø. ”

"Why did you notice Scott? Trollope? ”

"I'm looking for real geniuses."

"To this end, I secretly collected some remarks from Hogwarts professors and students, and asked Stephanie? Grapeland went to Hogwarts to get a closer look, and finally I judged that Scott? Trollope was exactly what I was looking for. ”

Listening to Mr. Bode's words, Scott raised an eyebrow.

Is this an affirmation of the enemy himself?

He opened his mouth again and asked, "Why do you want to find a real genius?" ”

"I'm doing a study about life and death, about the world behind the curtain of death."

Mr. Bode began to speak unconsciously.

"But a few years ago, my research hit a plateau."

"In the past two years, I have even spent all the credits in [the knowledge bank]."

"But I couldn't redeem the most critical piece of literature, it was too expensive."

"What literature?" Scott asked curiously.

Mr. Bode replied, "The Record of Hyerbo's Death Experiment is the most precious of the ancient documents [in the Knowledge Bank]. ”

When Scott heard this, he immediately took out his Union of Scholars ID card, and quickly found the document that Mr. Bode said in the [Book of Prometheus] -

"Hyerbo's Death Experiment Record (Partially Mutilated)" requires 99999999 credits to redeem.

Scott closes [Book of Prometheus].

Such a price was a bit outrageous, and he felt that the Scholars Alliance did not want anyone to exchange this document at all.

But......

"What does this have to do with your search for a true genius?" Scott asked.

Mr. Bode spoke again, confused.

"There was no progress in my research, and I couldn't earn new credits.

"Everything seems to be stuck in a vicious circle."

"I need real geniuses, just like Dumbledore. Such a genius always has a lot of inspiration, and as long as I master the genius, I can get more credits. ”

"So after hearing about Scott's reputation, I conducted a detailed investigation of him and detected some unknown clues."

"A lot of things seem to have nothing to do with him on the surface, but they can involve him. I don't think it's all a coincidence. One thing may be a coincidence, but if there are too many coincidences, it must not be a coincidence. ”

"He must have done a lot of unknown things in secret, and I caught him."

"You want to control him? That's why you threaten him? Scott said helplessly, "I think even if Scott works hard to death, it will be difficult to earn so many credits." ”

He began to wonder if this Mr. Bode had been doing research in the Department of Occult Affairs, and people were stupid.

Because if you want to control him, Mr. Bode's threats are too painless.

For Scott, he has no substantial evidence, just some suspicions, what is it?

It took so much effort and that's it?

Moreover, 99999999 credits......

In short, Scott felt that Mr. Bode looked up to him too much.

"Of course, Scott was just the first." Mr. Bode replied, "As more and more people become in my control, one day I will collect enough credits to redeem that document." ”

But you're the first to roll over.

Scott was tempted to say so.

But now was not joke time, and he still had some questions he wanted to figure out.

"You and Stephanie? What is Graplan's relationship? ”

"I once saved her life and led her to join the Scholars Alliance, and she respected me very much."

"As a Silent Man, why would you cooperate with the Death Eaters?"

"Everything I do is for research." "Voldemort feared death, and was so close to it," said Mr. Baldur, "that I wanted to approach him, to observe him, and preferably to study him." ”

“……”

Scott looked at him in surprise, this ambition was really not small.

But he was still a little curious, "Medea? The Slytherin experience was similar, so why choose Voldemort's side? ”

"Of course, yes, Ms. Slytherin is also worth looking into." "So I joined the Witch Church and pretended to be close to the Death Eaters to give them some advice and help. ”

“……”

Scott really didn't expect that this person's ambition was so big that he wanted to eat it both ways.

I'm not afraid of choking to death.

After a pause, he asked again, "You helped the Caro brothers and sisters ambush Scott in the Forbidden Forest, aren't you afraid that he will be killed by the Caro brothers and sisters?" ”

"A true genius can't be killed by those two mediocre talents."

Mr. Bode said in a tone of course.

"If Scott loses, then he's not really a genius."

"I will save his life and make him appreciate me. Of course, if that's the case, I wouldn't value him anymore. ”

"If it's a real genius, I can even involve him in my research. If not, he just needs to earn credits for me, just like Stephanie. ”

Scott listened to him and felt a little ridiculous.

He was sure that even if Mr. Bode had shown up to save them, he would never have been grateful to him.

In this way, he communicated with Mr. Bode for a long time, and finally figured it out roughly -

This Mr. Baldur, though cunning and cruel by nature, may have been due to the fact that he had been a Silencer for too long......

After graduating from Hogwarts, he successfully joined the Department of Mysteries, where he has been for more than thirty years.

Being a silent man for a long time left him with a lack of communication, and his over-indulgence in research made him paranoid.

In short, although he is a middle-aged man, this Mr. Bode is a little unsophisticated and unreasonably naïve.

For example, the reason why he manipulates the memories of other Silent People is not for anything else, but simply to make them tools to help him research and earn credits.

"They are all wizards with wisdom, and I need to gather their wisdom to help." That's what Mr. Bode said.

The lack of progress in the research made Mr. Balde a little impatient, so he moved a little big, and that's how he was caught by Mr. Weasley, who was staring at him.

In the dark cell, Scott looked at Mr. Bode crouching in the corner, and for a moment did not know what to say.

"Gaga...... Quack ......"

At that moment, Rimbaud's screams were heard from outside the cell.

Looks like we have to leave.

Scott raised his wand to Mr. Bode's head.

"Obliviate."

He cast a Forgetfulness Charm of maximum intensity, which destroyed all memories in Mr. Baldur's mind.

Then, as fast as he could, he cleared all traces and once again transformed into a peregrine falcon and emerged through the window on the outside of the fortress.

Rimbaud grabbed [severed arm bone] to pick him up.

They passed through the crowd of Dementors again, flying high into the air.

About half an hour later, they landed on another reef island not too far from Azkaban.

Scott regains his human form and sits down to regain his strength.

Rimbaud told Scott, "A wizard has just entered that hallway, an old wizard who is in charge of delivering food to the prisoners. ”

Scott nodded, "It's okay, I've asked everything I want to ask." ”

"Did you kill him?" Rimbaud asked.

Scott shook his head, "I can't kill anymore, or every wizard who opposes me will die mysteriously after entering Azkaban, which will naturally make people suspect me." ”

And, it's not like the last time Elijah was killed? Caro, Scott didn't do it himself in that operation, there was an alibi, and the Rohr family was behind it.

Rimbaud was a little surprised, "You let him go?" ”

"How is that possible?" Scott smiled, "I erased all his memories and left his head empty and completely an idiot." ”

In Azkaban, it was normal for prisoners to become idiots after being severely persecuted by the Dementors.

Rimbaud nodded, "It's a good fit, so he won't be able to use his brains anymore." ”

"I'm going to Azkaban one more time, and I want to set things up in advance." Scott said with a smile.

He retrieved a bag of compressed biscuits from the deformed lizard's skin pouch to satisfy his hunger, and rested for another hour.

He knew that the wizard guarding the prisoners would not stay in a prison full of Dementors for long, and he would not worry about being found out if he went there again.

Even knowing that Medea and Dumbledore might both be staring at Azkaban, Scott didn't worry about being discovered-

He's not going to rob the prison, and he's not going to make any big noise.

And this time Scott did not enter the fort again, but just arranged something around the fort, in the black rocks of the island.

Afterwards, he and Rimbaud made another long trek back into the forest in the Scottish Highlands.

After returning to the Oak Cabin, Scott, who had been tired all day, lay on his bed and didn't want to move.

"Are you okay?" Rimbaud asked.

"I don't think I'm used to flying." He said to Rimbaud, "I feel like I can't lift my hands now." ”

"Quack...... Ranpo let out a weird laugh, "Looks like you're going to need a little more practice." ”

Just then, the call of an owl was heard outside the window.

Scott looked up and looked through the window to see a snow owl hovering outside the cabin.

"It's Harry's Hedwig." "It can't find a house hidden by magic," he said. ”

He stood up and opened the door to the cabin, somewhat reluctantly riding his broomstick out of the magically hidden area.

"Goo-Goo......

Hedwig screamed excitedly, put the letter still on his head, and flew away.

Scott picked up the letter and opened it when he returned to the cabin.

"Looks like Harry doesn't need the gift I gave him for the time being, he's living with Sirius now."

Judging by the somewhat scribbled handwriting, Harry was clearly excited.

Now he only needs to spend the "difficult two weeks" on Privet Road to spend the summer vacation with his godfather.
