Chapter 124: The Sixth Chest
The more Sven thought about it, the more he felt that Dumbledore had deliberately prevented Jacob from choosing the suitcase.
It's as if Dumbledore was just trying to make Newt think it was a real chest!
Or rather, Dumbledore performed this scene for Grindelwald as well!
If this is the case, then there is a high probability that Newt's chosen box is also fake; Dumbledore would not have been able to arrange for Muggle Jacob to carry the real chest, as that would put both him and the Kirin in great danger.
Excluding the two fake chests, is the suitcase containing the Kirin really among the remaining three chests?
Xiwen shook his head secretly, neither Theseus nor Hicks should be better suited to get the chest that actually contained the Kirin than Newt.
Wise as Dumbledore would not leave the final result to luck, he would have chosen a foolproof option, someone who would have been completely ignored by Grindelwald.
Therefore, it is quite possible that all five suitcases in the Room of Requirement are fake. In a location they didn't know, there was a sixth chest!
Xiwen suddenly looked up at Bunty, who was still waiting in place, this female assistant who had always been very low-key, even a little humble.
Yes, if there is one person in the fragment that Grindelwald can foresee that is most easily overlooked, it will not be Newt, who has sabotaged Grindelwald's plot several times, it will not be Hicks, the genius professor of charms, or Theseus, the director of the Auror Office, but it should be Bundy, the assistant who has been following Newt like a vassal!
"Hello, Mr. Strange." Bunty smiled shyly, interrupting Xiwen's complicated thoughts. "I'm going to trouble you all the way with me today!"
……
Bhutan, in a village in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Many local shamans, dressed in traditional Bhutanese costumes known as 'Kh' and 'Khira', are cheering enthusiastically as they come from all over the world to participate in the International Confederation of Wizards' elections.
Most of the houses in Bhutan are based on three colors: white, red, and yellow. White walls, triangular shingle eaves, and yellow window edges.
It is home to a number of blue-feathered, round-bodied ball-skimming birds, which disappear into thin air and emerge from another location whenever a wizard approaches them.
Wizards from all over the world held signs and banners of the candidates they supported, chanting the names of the candidates.
Ranwen
The different colors represent different candidates, yellow for Wisencia Santos, red for Liu Tao, and green for Gellert Grindelwald.
When it comes to the election, voters from all over the world will shoot sparks of the corresponding color into the sky to vote for the candidates, and the International Federation of Wizards will count the number of each spark to determine the number of votes for each candidate to determine the final president of the Federation.
In a secluded corner of the village, a golden circle of light appeared out of thin air, and a witch and a ghost walked out of the circle.
"Mr. Strange, I think you need to be more hidden." After stepping out of the dimensional gate, Bunty whispered to Shivin. "Your ghost's identity is too noticeable here."
Xiwen nodded, hiding his form.
Bunty breathed a sigh of relief and walked into a dilapidated yard as if nothing had happened.
She tapped her wand on her dress, and a British trench coat quickly transformed into a traditional Bhutanese "flag-la", covering half of her cheeks with a veil.
Then, Bunty silently cast a spell in the corner of the courtyard, and the sixth box appeared in front of the two of them!
"So you've been here before?" Staying invisible, Shivin asked as he stood beside Bunty.
Bunty quietly bowed slightly, silently casting a disillusionment charm on the chest, then carefully lifted it up.
Suddenly, a noise came from a distance, and the village halfway up the hill suddenly became lively.
Sivin floated up, looking out halfway up the mountain, and could vaguely see many of Grindelwald's men fighting fiercely with the people on the ground on the roof!
The spells were flying wildly, and all kinds of light were constantly shining there, and it could be seen that the battle situation was extremely anxious!
"They're already in danger." Xiwen hurriedly landed and said to Bunty with some anxiety.
"Mr. Strange, believe in their abilities!" Bundy's lips twitched, and she said in a voice that only Shewin could hear.
Afterwards, Bunty casually picked up the box on which the illusion had been cast, and walked towards the top of the mountain like an ordinary Bhutanese believer, unhurriedly.
Looking at the calm Bunty, Xiwen let out a long breath and calmed down.
Now is not the time to worry about other people. Shevin and Bundy currently have only one task in mind, and that is to make sure that the real box arrives at the venue!
Thinking of this, Shevin floated silently into the air, condescendingly observing the situation around him, occasionally pointing out to Bunty a safe path without Grindelwald's men standing guard.
And the battle situation halfway up the mountain has quietly subsided, and it is not known who won the final victory.
However, the calm lasted less than five minutes, and the scene suddenly spiraled out of control-
Countless loaves of bread filled the roads of the village, ramming wildly at Grindelwald's men, and so many magical books were constantly biting at the saints, and the whole halfway up the mountain was in chaos!
Xiwen can roughly tell that the bread of wireless proliferation is the effect of the copy charm, and it should also come with a tracking charm that can distinguish between friend and foe.
Copy and Trace are both very simple spells, but achieving this effect is not easy. So it was easy for Sven to guess that it was Dumbledore's spell. When the chest is opened, the magic inside is triggered, and the contents of the chest are copied until the magic is gone.
Seeing this scene, Xiwen was relieved to know that the others should be able to take advantage of the chaos to leave the scene.
Then he landed next to Bunty and whispered, "At least two boxes have been opened, and we're going to speed up." ”
Bunty nodded quietly and turned in the other direction.
"Stop! What are you holding in your hands? "As Bundy walked around a thatched house and passed by the path, suddenly a hunky wizard in formal suit pointed his wand at her.
Although the box has been spelled with a disillusionment charm, a closer look reveals that Bundy is holding something in his hand by the shape of his virtual hand. Of course, she didn't want to hide it from everyone, as long as she didn't get noticed by Grindelwald, her mission would be considered a success.
Bunty didn't pause at all, and walked forward with his usual pace and frequency.
I said, stop...... Down, ahh
"To prevent Grindelwald from discovering you, don't do it." Xiwen said softly. "I'll take care of the enemy!"
Along the way, every enemy you encounter along the way will be quickly and unexpectedly eliminated by Xiwen. Bunty didn't stop all the way and went straight to the wooden bridge leading to the final election venue.
The temple that Dumbledore had painted in the Great Hall stood proudly on the top of the hill ahead!
