Chapter 188: Into the Mountain

In its current form, going abroad is a troublesome matter, not to mention that what McNeil and Ike are going to do can't be known to the Ministry of Magic at all, so there is only one last option left.

Illegal door keys.

It may be difficult for the average wizard to find a portkey that is not registered with the Ministry of Magic, but for the likes of Lucius and McNeill, it couldn't be easier.

"You've used this thing, so I'm not going to tell you." McNeill carried a suitcase, took out a broken boot and handed it to Ike, "The other side is next to a small town at the foot of the Alps, I'll go over and wait for you." ”

When Ike took the boots, McNeill took out a copper basin and put it on the ground, put his hand up, and disappeared in front of Ike in an instant. Ike didn't hesitate to do so, and threw his boots on the ground, touching his hand immediately.

After the familiar feeling of squeezing, this time it stood firmly.

"Just right, just go to that mountain." McNeil put his hand on his eyes and pointed to a mountain in the distance, and when he saw Ike nod in agreement, he walked forward on his own.

The two of them followed the direction and carefully bypassed the town at the foot of the mountain, but after walking for a long time, the mountain in the distance did not mean to approach at all.

"First time going far away?" McNeill gasped a little, but his feet remained at the same pace as he had been.

Ike didn't reply, he was very tired after walking down for half a day, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was panting like a cow.

"Take a break in front, but not for too long, why do you have to go into the mountains today."

After following McNeill for a while, the two of them found a small forest and went in, and when their breathing calmed down a little, they sat down under the tree.

"Why don't we use magic to get on the road?" After regaining some strength, Ike asked, "That always saves effort." ”

"To hide people's eyes." "We're not the only ones going to the Giant Tribe, we're going to avoid anything that might get people's attention. ”

"Who knows if those Muggles will be in the mountains, if they see them, their whereabouts will be exposed."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ike, and then said, "It's definitely not going to work here, and when you really enter the mountain, that kind of inaccessible place can be easily used with magic, after all, we have to compete with Dumbledore's people for time."

"That's ...... I know. Ike nodded, but smiled again when he saw McNeil, "Of course, some fatigue-relieving magic is still possible, we just can't use magic to rush now." ”

Ike smiled when he heard this, took out two bottles of potions from his pocket, and tossed one to McNeil.

"The recovery potion can relieve fatigue very well, and after my improvement, there is a little bit of therapeutic effect."

"It's good stuff." McNeil put the potion away, "Now is not the time to use it. ”

Ike ignored him and took a sip of his own. He still has a lot of this stuff, and it's not a problem to last three or two days.

After resting for a while, they left the forest and continued their way into the mountains.

McNeill obviously sped up a little, striding meteor, no longer thinking about whether Ike could keep up, there are potions to restore his strength, and he has to catch up.

But even so, the two of them didn't actually enter the mountain until nightfall, which was the result of Ike using the Levitation Charm after dark to lighten the burden a little.

I walked a little further into the mountains, and only stopped when it was pitch black all around.

McNeil opened the suitcase, pulled out a tent from it, and after the wand was automatically put in place, he tapped it twice before beckoning Ike in.

"I've turned on the Muggle Exorcism Charm and the Disturbance Charm in my tent, so that no blind guy will disturb us." As he spoke, he looked at the environment in the tent and praised, "The Malfoys are really going to enjoy it, even such a small tent is so luxurious." ”

Looking at the soft carpet on the floor and the decorations in the living room, Ike nodded and agreed, "Yes...... But also comfortable enough. ”

"That's right, get a good night's sleep, we'll have a long way to go tomorrow." McNeil sighed and chose a room and walked in. Ike didn't hesitate and went straight into the room on the other side.

He gave himself a cleaning spell, then sat down on the bed, patted it, felt the softness of the mattress and bedding, and Ike nodded with satisfaction.

He took out his wand and cast a disturbance charm on the door of the room, adding a silence charm, and then pulled the small box out of his pocket.

When the lid was opened, the wand struck the box three times, and a small figure suddenly burst out of it, falling to the ground and shaking.

"Where is this?" The man asked, looking warily at the furnishings around him.

"Safe place, or I wouldn't have let you out, Karkaroff." Ike said calmly, "But only for a moment, you still have to go back to the box later." ”

"Damn it!" Karkaroff cursed secretly, but did not go against Ike's decision in the slightest.

"How long am I going to have to be there? It wasn't easy at all. ”

"You made it uncomfortable, too." Ike rolled his eyes and said angrily, "After all, you're the only one in there." ”

Karkaroff sneered, he couldn't argue that he was the only living person in the box. There was another one before, but he dealt with it, and the ashes were all raised.

"Wait, I'll let you go when the time is right......" Facing Karkaroff, who was a little excited when he heard this, Ike's expression became serious, "When the time is right, not now!" ”

"I understand, I understand." Karkaroff smiled, not at all arrogant and domineering when he arrived at Hogwarts at the beginning of last year, but full of flattery.

Seeing this, Ike frowned, but didn't say anything more. There is just a chance to leave him around, just let him go, out of sight and out of mind.

I'm not worried about Karkaroff exposing his secrets and changing the curse he used on Wormtail, a guy like this who is greedy for life and afraid of death has a very poor tolerance for pain.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, and without waiting for Karkaroff to react, Ike got him back into the box. Closing the lid and knocking on it three times to make sure nothing went wrong, this was the magic that had been applied to the door before.

I put the box in my pocket, fell into bed, and fell asleep in a short time.

The next day, Ike was woken up by McNeill's knock on the door. After a brief wash, as soon as I opened the door, I saw McNeill sitting on the sofa in the living room with his suitcase.

"It's time for us to go."

Following him out of the tent, McNeill waved his wand, put the tent in the box, looked for directions, and walked away. Ike followed, and the levitation charm was put on again.

Entering the mountains and in the woods, Ike was still very measured to maintain the levitation charm to the extent that he could walk easily, and did not float directly, the speed of the two of them was very fast, and in only an hour, they walked out a long way.

Gradually, the temperature in the forest came up, there was a little stuffy feeling, and there was some sweat on my body unconsciously.

McNeill paused, carefully and vigilantly examined his surroundings, and sat down until there were no problems.

"Eat something first, and then go straight to the next hill."

"This time, you can use magic to get away."
