548. The Hijacked "Milton"
"Huh."
Scott stepped forward, kicked his black robe open, and looked down at the pile of white porcelain tiles on the floor.
After a while, he pulled out the [Magic Mirror] and began contacting Mr. Grevis.
"Is everything okay over there?" He asked, "A rat just ran into Milton's apartment......
"Are you all alright?" Mr. Graves asked anxiously.
"It's okay, Milton is in another dimension with his mother......"
Scott recounted in detail what had just happened.
“…… In short, the other party is not a real person, just a ceramic doll. ”
"It's that lady's henchman! Only a handful of people have been taught the magic of possessed dolls by her! ”
"Do you know who they are?"
"Sorry, I don't know, I also found out about this news by spying on Zabini."
"So, what about the 'ceramic men' who were resurrected by Medea in the Battle of Azkaban?"
"They...... Since then, he has been in hiding and has not been seen again. ”
Scott said he understood, told Mr. Graves to notify him if there was a situation, and hung up.
After that, he collected the ceramic shards on the floor and entered the [Eye of Odin] space.
Inside the villa, Scott avoided Milton's mother and told Milton what had just happened.
"Thank you, Scott." Milton looked at him gratefully, "If it weren't for you......"
Scott had heard enough of the words of gratitude, and quickly stopped him and said what to do next.
"I'll be going to Spain for Christmas, will you choose to stay here with your mother, or will you go to Hogwarts?"
Milton thought about it for a moment, and chose to stay in the other dimension.
Once he was sure, Scott came out of the [Eye of Odin] space.
This time when he went home, he still chose to transform through the apparition.
But unlike the last time he almost overturned, as his mastery of spatial magic deepened, this time the ultra-long-distance phantom shifter did not show discomfort.
He spent a great Christmas with his family.
A series of events that happened in the wizarding world, Scott still only told his father Michael.
Now that his strength has risen, and there are more and more chips in his hands, Michael is also a lot more relieved about him.
In addition, Scott is also considering whether to let his family live in the space of [Eye of Odin].
Although he is very careful every time he comes to Spain, not only does he block his name, but he also uses his magic perception to probe all the time without being tracked by wizards.
But there is always a case.
Wasn't there once another thief who came to the vicinity of the country manor while tracking [Lacey map]?
Although there seems to be a suspicion of victim paranoia, when it comes to his family, Scott feels that he can't be too careful.
Scott told his father what he thought.
But Michael refused.
"Your mother and I can hide, but what about your uncle and aunt, as well as your cousins and cousins, especially the older two, they all have their own families and careers."
Scott had to think of something else.
For the safety of his family, he performed almost at the highest level of alchemy he had ever had, and within a few days he worked tirelessly, using some valuable materials to create two magical items that even Muggles could use.
After the production was successful, he took the finished product he had made -
A pile of trinkets and a key came to his father, Michael.
"It's a ring that allows you to manipulate your magic for a short time."
Scott first took out a ring and introduced it to his father.
"This is possible because of this gem."
He gestured to the sapphire set in the ring.
"It's a gem with magical powers."
"Oh?"
Michael was interested in putting on the ring.
"How do I use it?"
"One last step to go."
Scott asked him to remove the ring and took some of his blood, using the blood to carve a few runes on the surface of the ring.
"That's it."
"Oh? I'll try. ”
Michael was in high spirits.
"I'm afraid not."
Scott stopped him.
"You don't have magic, I took advantage of our blood relationship, so that you can forcibly activate the ring and burst out with the magic contained in the gem."
"This means that the burst of magic is uncontrollable, so this ring will be easily damaged."
"Disposable?"
"It's not, it's just ......"
Scott shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know how many times I'll use it."
"On top of that, the ring activates on its own when you're in danger."
"It serves three purposes."
"First, create a magical barrier to bounce off other people in your vicinity and all magical attacks to keep you safe."
What Scott didn't say was that the ring could create a magical barrier with spatial magic, and even the Death Curse could be resisted for a short time.
Of course, this is also the reason why the ring was judged to be easy to break.
"Second, teleport the wearer of these ornaments into the magic barrier."
Scott pulled out another bunch of beautiful ornaments.
There are brooches, cufflinks, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hairpins, and more, and each piece is inlaid with a gemstone with magical powers.
However, these items cannot be activated by the wearer, and they will only be activated synchronously when the ring's owner, Michael, activates the ring.
"Third, activate this key."
Scott walked and pulled out a long bronze key.
"When the key is activated, it will immediately teleport the target within the magic barrier to the [Eye of Odin] space."
"I see."
Michael nodded.
He glanced at the dark circles on Scott's face and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.
"Go and get some rest, son, and I'll take care of the rest."
Scott nodded.
Before leaving, he turned his head and smiled and said, "One of those ornaments is special, and when its owner is in danger, the ring on your hand will activate on its own. ”
"For your mom?"
Michael laughed too.
He pinpointed the necklace that best matched Emilia's aesthetic from a pile of accessories.
"You're right, even if your enemies come to you, they won't go past me and Millie to find your uncle."
After the Christmas holidays were over, Scott was relieved to return to the UK a day early.
Nothing happened on Mr. Grevis's side for the past few days.
Of course, Scott didn't just rely on Mr. Greves' notice.
Considering that Mr. Grevis's father and son were instantly subdued and unable to be notified of his situation, he had already placed "eyes" in Mr. Grevis's house through Mr. Grevis's hand.
With the rise of alchemy, Scott's "eyes" can not only play a role in monitoring, but also automatically warn through remote contact with [Magic Mirror].
Back in Milton's apartment, Milton squinted his eyes for the first time.
Someone has been here again.
Although he didn't feel any residual mana fluctuations, some things in the room were not arranged in an aligned way compared to when he left.
"Aren't you dead yet?"
He muttered, not understanding what the other party was doing.
Mr. Graves kept moving, but kept running into the apartment.
Scott reached out and sliced open a door of light, entered the [Eye of Odin] space, and brought Milton out.
"Your grandfather might have been a tricky one."
Scott said to Milton.
"If not, how would they try to take you hostage?"
"I don't know." Milton shook his head, "I don't know anything about my grandfather. ”
Scott said, "I remember that your grandfather was not the only son of your father? ”
Milton said, "Didn't my father tell you? My great uncle's family is gone. ”
"Disappear?" Scott raised an eyebrow.
"I also heard from my mother, too, that the family had long since disappeared, but my grandfather was not in a hurry, and my mother thought they must have gone abroad to hide," Milton said. ”
"I see."
Scott nodded knowingly, then stood up.
"Let's go out for a walk."
"What do you mean?"
"If someone keeps an eye on this, let them know you're there again."
Scott opened the door to the apartment.
"I wonder if anyone will appear directly in front of us, and if they don't dare to show up, we can find out about him."
"It's fine."
Milton agreed.
He carried a wand with him, as well as a Scottish bagpipe.
Scott asked, "Can you do musical magic with instruments other than the cello?" ”
Milton nodded, "It's not as good as the cello, though." ”
The two left the apartment and went downstairs for a walk around the neighborhood.
"Target discovery."
Scott looked up at the top of a bank building across the street.
"Let's go."
He ran first, came to an uninhabited alley with garbage cans, and was apparitioned to the screams of a wild cat.
But when he reached the top of the bank building, it happened to be a figure in a green robe who had phantom away.
And Milton didn't follow.
Turning the tiger away from the mountain?
Scott was about to return to the alley when suddenly magic surged in the concrete floor beneath his feet, and the opponent's preset anti-illusion shapeshifting spell took shape.
"Tsk."
Scott transforms into a peregrine falcon and swoops straight across the street.
But the alley behind the street, with its garbage cans and stray wild cats, has lost its traces, as if it had been erased.
Scott in the form of Animagus is unable to use his magical sense, so he can only land in another uninhabited alley, transform back into human form, and then use his magical perception to find the hidden alley.
This time he quickly found the clue.
Turning and running, Scott rounded some distance and slammed straight at a wall that looked solid.
With a flash in front of him, he returned to the alley where the garbage cans were stacked.
The green-robed man was waiting, his wand against Milton's temple.
"You're late, Trollope."
The green-robed man wore a hood, revealing only his face below the tip of his nose.
"It's you again." Scott took a closer look, "This time it's the real body. ”
"That's right."
The other party laughed fearlessly.
"Don't do anything, Trollope, or I can't promise I won't hurt your friend."
"I'm sorry, Scott."
The kidnapped Milton looked frustrated.
Scott didn't speak.
"Now, throw away your wand." The green-robed man said to Scott.
Scott smiled, "Do you think a wand is a necessity for me?" ”
"Then don't move! Don't make any moves! ”
The green-robed man said viciously.
"If you move a finger, I'll kill him!"
"You're not going to kill him." Scott affirmed, "He's still useful." ”
"Then completely ruin his hand!"
The green-robed man clearly knew Milton's weakness.
"How about making this musical genius no longer able to play music?"
Milton's eyes widened in horror, and a few tears rolled down, but he still held back his voice.
Scott said with a cold face: "If you make a move, I can guarantee that you won't be able to leave here." ”
"Don't get excited."
The other party laughed "hehe" again.
"The reason I'm here waiting for you to live is because I want to bring you a message for the esteemed lady Slytherin."
Scott stared at him deadly," he said. ”
The green-robed man said, "Honorable lady Slytherin said she was interested in the prophecy orb you took from the Ministry of Magic the other day. ”
Scott had a shocked look on his face.
The green-robed man said proudly, "Unexpectedly, your whereabouts in the Ministry of Magic are under our control. ”
Scott said coldly, "Then please tell Medea too, don't forget the fate of Voldemort and the Death Eaters." ”
"Shut up!"
The green-robed man suddenly became angry.
"How dare you!"
"How dare you compare a loser like Voldemort to the esteemed lady Slytherin!"
"In my opinion, there is no difference between them."
Scott also said angrily.
"Medea was once defeated at the hands of Voldemort!"
"You want to provoke me?"
The green-robed man suddenly laughed again.
"But I'm not going to be fooled."
The wand in his right hand was held securely, and his left hand was firmly gripping Milton's shoulder.
"The words have been brought, then, goodbye, Trollope."
"Wait!"
With a loud "pop", the green-robed man disappeared in place with Milton.
"Milton!"
Scott shouted.
Then, he clenched his fists and lowered his head.
No one saw it, the corners of his mouth were rising.
But he quickly adjusted his expression, made an anxious look, and also apparitioned away from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Scott was on the outskirts of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.
He casually opened the door of light and watched Milton emerge from it.
"Did it work?" Milton asked expectantly.
Scott nodded.
"He's taken another fake Milton with him."
"I don't know what to say......"
Milton still had a look of disbelief on his face.
"But no one has ever conjured a living human using Transfiguration, and he's a wizard!"
"I just put him on the same skin as you." "Inside it's an alchemy puppet that transforms automatically. ”
Thanks also to Mr. Jeffrey for his alchemical knowledge and materials.
Scott took out the [Magic Mirror] and dotted it on the surface.
"We'll soon see what Fake Milton sees and hear what he hears."
[The Magic Mirror] soon appeared.
"This is ......"
Scott looked at the environment in the picture, and it always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where.
