Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wand Within Seven Paces Is Fast and Accurate

Footsteps rang out, leather rubbing against the planks and crunching, echoing through the quiet corridors.

By the dim light, Helen could see the face of the comer.

With silky blonde hair, shiny blue eyes and a shallow smile, the witch immediately recognized the handsome teenager......

Rov Scamander!

Helen's eyes narrowed, she thought about the Aurors coming to arrest her, thinking about Carlos bringing a group of sailors to stop her, no matter how bad it was, which "zealous" wizard she was...... But she really didn't expect it to be him!

Under the flickering firelight, Helen's eyes flickered, and Rove smiled: "You don't have to look for it, I'm the only one here." ”

Helen suddenly relaxed, just a little wizard, just before leaving, she could still do a ticket to arrest him.

Such a handsome young man, whether he is imprisoned and played slowly, or sold to a rich woman, can be sold for a price not lower than that mermaid.

But Helen still wondered, "Why are you here?" Did Skander tell you anything? ”

"Nope." Rove shook his head and patiently explained, "Earlier, I used the Illusion Charm to follow Skander and sneak into your room to witness your deal...... Trade that merfolk. ”

"Impossible!" Helen screamed.

She has a magic lock on the door, which is not only defensive, but also able to detect invisible wizards, which is more effective than a speculum.

If a wizard wearing an invisibility cloak or a transfiguration charm enters the room, it triggers magic, and she relies on that thing to catch many dark wizards.

Rove smiled, he was wearing a modified version of Voldemort's "scarf", which could effectively shield the detection of magical items.

No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Dark Lord's magic?

Helen suddenly raised her wand and shot a red glow, and Rove turned his head to one side, easily avoiding the stun spell.

Rove glanced at the slightly glaring hole in the wall in the distance, then at the frightened witch, and smiled, "Can't hit so close?" ”

The young man looked at the extremely embarrassed Lady Helen, walked forward slowly, and said with a pleasant face:

"I've heard that wands are fast at seven paces, and wands within seven steps...... Fast and accurate!

Then I'll come closer, and you won't let me down. ”

Scamander was just a child, and Helen reminded herself that he couldn't dodge forever, just a hit...... The battle was over.

But no matter how Helen shot her magic, Rov was always able to dodge and move deftly, and her spell always brushed against his shoulders and arms.

It wasn't long before Helen was out of breath and almost out of strength from tossing, sweat running down her cheeks and blurring her eyes.

And every time the boy dodged the spell, he would deliberately shake his shoulders and taunt...... Helen couldn't help but tremble, and her heart was full of despair.

The happiest time to hunt prey is not the moment when you kill your prey, but the process of playing.

It's like a cat catching a mouse, it doesn't kill it so quickly, but repeatedly teases and tortures.

Lady Helen feels like a prey now, and the teenager is deliberately torturing and toying with herself!

Helen was distracted, and Rove was already a step away from her, and he grabbed her by the arm, slammed all the way down, slammed open the wooden door, and returned to her own room.

Helen staggered to the hard floor, and Rove grabbed her by the hair with one hand, pulling her head back, and reaching for her throat with the other.

Helen's wand was knocked off, and she could only fight Rove with her bare hands like a Muggle, but her nails scraped against the boy's body as if they were scraping.

Helen was taken aback, and she noticed that Scamander's skin had turned a silver-gray color, like dragon scales...... What kind of magic is this?!

Lady Helen was choked to the point of being out of breath, and she struck him punch after punch, but as if on a thick wall.

The boy received a lot of punches, as if he didn't realize it, but Helen's fist hit blood.

Helen reluctantly lifted her knee and slammed it down Rove's abdomen, hoping to deliver a deadly blow.

But it was as if she had kicked it into a stone, and it was more ...... than anything she had ever seen Hard.

Katsa!

The bones are broken!

Helen's leg is broken!

“……”

Helen was utterly desperate, she was about to faint in pain, and cried out for mercy:

"Let me go, I can give you Galleons, Galleons you can't imagine!"

Rove smiled and said, "Idiot, I caught you, is your Galleon different from mine?" ”

“……”

Helen cried and asked, "What enmity do I have with you?" ”

"The mermaid you sold to the mysterious circus, her name is Missara." Rove grabbed Helen's hands and twisted them so hard that he snapped her arms cleanly.

"She's my friend."

Rove stood up, patted the dust off his body, looked at Helen, who was about to pass out, and finally whispered:

"There is also the abduction and trafficking of women and children...... Damn it! ”

……

……

The news that the mysterious circus owner was under control spread throughout the Mayflower the next morning.

Last night's performance was a success, and everyone was still expecting the mermaid, but I didn't expect Skander to be caught.

Originally, there were wizards who regretted it, but when they heard that the Cablo dragon was released by Skander, and he also released a fire dragon, no one immediately sympathized with him...... Instead, I wish he was dead immediately!

Even though Carlos repeatedly assured everyone that it was only possible, and that the Aurors would need to be judged, the passengers didn't care.

Human nature is like this, if it is not about yourself, you can still hang high and say a few words that are not painful, but if it involves your own safety, it will be easy to go to extremes.

It is not known whether Skander is the murderer, but fear leads them to assume that he is the murderer and that there is danger...... Then eliminate the danger.

Anyway, everyone doesn't want to be in the same boat with him anymore!

Many wizards proposed that Skander be punished according to the decree of the high seas.

There are many kinds of punishments on seagoing ships, the most common being caning, in addition to "walking on the springboard", "exile on a desert island", and "towing keel" that makes people smell and change color.

The so-called towing keel is to use a long rope to tie the hands of the erring sailor, and then throw it into the sea, because the sailor fell into the sea too close to the hull, so it will be "pressed" by the hull.

Of course, there are also wizards who propose to use cannon and canine duels on Skander, apparently from the northern side of a peninsula.

Carlos had a headache, fearing that before he could reach the United States, Skander would be killed by the angry passengers.

As for Rove, the initiator, he didn't care much about it, or rather, he didn't have time to care, after all, all his energy was about to be given to the half-breed girl...... Squeezed dry.
