Chapter 20: Guards
After the meeting, Fast and Baucus were just about to leave, when Faas came to the two and said, "You two, let's go to the Auror lounge together and wait for the mission letter." Mr. Paje Paslai patted them on the back and said, "Yes, go quickly." You'll be ready to go. ”
Fast and Baucus had no choice but to follow Faais to the break room.
On the way, Fast asked Fais, "Who is that man named Reed just now?" Faas said lightly, "He is an Auror and serves as the captain of the escort. Seeing that Faess didn't want to say more, Fast stopped talking.
Faas led the two to the Auror lounge and left.
Fast and Baucus pushed the door open and entered the lounge, where there were nine people, a few chatting, a few playing thunderbolts, and some exercising. Fast looked around, the room was fully equipped and even had a practice room.
The nine people in the lounge stopped to look at the two of them when they saw an unfamiliar face enter the room. At this time, a lady wearing a combat uniform with short hair walked over and asked in a stern tone, "What do you two do and why did you come here?" Fast hurriedly said, "We were sent by the Ministry of Magic to participate in the escort mission. When the lady heard this, her tone softened a lot, and she said, "You are the white magician who sent you, hello, just call me Thorns." Then he stretched out his right hand. Fast shook hands politely and said, "My name is Fast." Baucus shook hands politely and said, "My name is Bous." ”
At this time, when the other people heard that it was a new team member, they all came over to introduce themselves, "My name is Weirdo", "My name is Bearded", "My name is Captain", "My name is Lightlight", "My name is Sun", "My name is Killer", "My name is Lighthouse", "My name is AT"
Baucus looked at the strangely named people and asked, "Is this your name or codename?" Thorn laughed and said, "Dude, you are too funny, this must be a code name, after all, we are important members of the escort team, and it is impossible to use our real names." After the introduction, everyone dispersed. At this time, the lighthouse suddenly spoke, "I heard that you white magic is particularly good at using combat magic? Fast nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
At this time, the lighthouse said excitedly: "Let's do two tricks." This sentence seemed to pique the interest of the Aurors, and Fast said with a little surprise: "Is it here? The lighthouse pointed to the practice room and said, "There is a practice room here, if you are afraid of pain, forget it." Thorn hahaha said, "Don't provoke him, the two of them are the ones who took out the secret box from the Kuantan Juer Forest." Hahaha. The lighthouse was surprised and said, "They? Wait, you know why not to say it. ”
At this time, the door was opened, and two people walked in, it was Auror Captain Reed and Mr. Paje Paslai, and by the way, several paper airplanes flew behind them, and they fell into everyone's hands one by one. Reed said solemnly: "This is the operation arrangement and formation deployment this time, you take a good look." With that, the Aurors began to read carefully. At this time, Mr. Paje Pasley came to Fast and Baucus, handed each of them a piece of clothing, and said, "This is the combat uniform I asked for from the Armament Department, and this." As he spoke, he took out two bracelets and handed them to Fast and Baus.
Fast looked at the bracelet with 10 small emeralds, 2 sapphires and a large orange gem. Fast asked suspiciously, "What is this?" Reed said solemnly: "This is a personnel bracelet, each gem represents a team member, orange is the object of protection, green is us, and blue is the two of you." ”
For some unknown reason, Fast always felt that Reed was hostile to him.
Ignoring Reed's hostile gaze, Fast lowered his head and opened the mission letter and began to read it, but there were only a few words: Guarding Deputy Secretary Matthews' side and keeping him safe. Fast felt that a short sentence seemed to hide a great danger.
At this time, Reed said loudly: "At 6 o'clock this evening, we will leave for France, this time we will not enter the Muggle world, and at the same time we will use the flying carriage to escort, the lighthouse you are responsible for flying and monitoring the surroundings on the upper part of the carriage, the captain is responsible for driving the carriage, the killer and the light follow me in front of the car, the stranger, the bearded, the grandson, and the thorns are guarding the back of the car, and the At is responsible for guarding the bottom of the car." We arrive at the Parliament Building at 1 a.m. and we will rest at the Parliament Building, and the meeting will start at noon the next day. So the task will be all night, everyone has a good rest in the afternoon, and do not do unnecessary activities. And you, the two white magicians, are tasked with accompanying Deputy Minister Matthews and are personal guards. Alright, at 5:30, everyone gathered on the top floor of the Ministry of Magic and set off. ”
"Good!" The Aurors spoke in unison. At this time, Reed said: "The two white mages can rest in the temporary rest room, and they are not allowed to go home, and this task must not be leaked. Bearded, you take them to the cafeteria and then to the break room. So Reed and Mr. Paje Pasley left the lounge.
Seeing the two leaving, Thorn stood up and said, "Everyone understands, rest after eating, and gather in the evening." The lighthouse said, "I heard that there was a new dish in the cafeteria today, so I went first." The bearded man said kindly, "Come on, Fast, Baucus will take you to the cafeteria to eat together, the canteen here is still good." Baucus nodded and said, "Just hungry." With that, Fast and Bawkes followed the bearded man out of the lounge.
By 5:30 p.m., the Aurors had assembled on the top floor of the Ministry of Magic, and Fast and Baucus were among them in their Ministry of Magic uniforms.
Fast looked at the dress he was wearing, and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he seemed to have seen his father wear it like this, a black tight leather robe, with strange patterns on the shoulders and chest, the front hem of the robe was removed, and the back hem was split to make it more convenient and suitable for flying, and then it was not until he grew up that Fast knew that the pattern was actually a guardian charm. Fast remembers seeing his father wear it this way when he was a child, but he never wore it again after his father's injury.
At this point, Reed repeated the escort assignment again, unchanged from before.
At 5:55 a.m., Deputy Minister Matthews came to the top floor, and Deputy Secretary Matthews paid tribute to everyone and said, "Thank you for your protection, you are excellent magicians. Reed paid tribute to Deputy Secretary Matthews and said, "It's our duty to protect you. Please get on the bus. Deputy Secretary Matthews slowly walked into the car, while Fast and Baucus sat across from Deputy Secretary Matthews.
As 6 o'clock came, the bell of the Ministry of Magic rang and the doors slowly opened. A carriage drawn by four flying horses departed from the top of the Ministry of Magic, and the accompanying Auror guards skillfully formed to escort the carriage to its goal.
At this time, it was already dark, and the bright moonlight illuminated the entire starry sky.
