Chapter 104: Infiltrating France
"Get out of the car, remember, from the moment you step out of the car until I declare it safe, you are not allowed to use any magic-related abilities, and you are not allowed to reveal a single wave of magic. Dawlux reminded.
Everyone removed the Confusion Charm and Muggle Expulsion Charm from their bodies, got out of the car, and entered the airport. At this moment, they were all Muggles.
They had come too early and the wait was boring, for they had little to talk about other than Mysterio, the Dark Wizard, and Quidditch, but the Muggles were overheard and they had to chat, "It's a terrible day, and the sun can't be seen." ”
"Although the weather in the UK is habitually like this, it is very abnormal to be like this all the time......"
"It was the same more than ten years ago when the mystery man was at its most powerful. ”
"Said to have something to do with those things in Azkaban......"
"Don't mention that!" Dawlis glared fiercely at the man who had slipped his mouth.
Finally registered, most of them saw the plane for the first time, let alone sat down, but fortunately Dawlux had experience, and the others just had to follow him - change their boarding passes, go through security, and then wait for a while, and then board the plane smoothly.
"Oh my God, this thing can fly?"
"Don't ask, Muggles look at you like a hillbilly. Moody said impatiently, "Although I'm curious too." ”
"There are still free food and drink, it tastes good......"
“...... Shut up!"
――
The plane flies directly to Dijon-Burgundy airport in France, which saves a lot of time. Everyone found a hotel and stayed overnight under the leadership of Dolux. The next day, Scrimgeour arranged a vehicle to pick them up and take them to the north of Dijon, where there were the most mountains and almost no people.
"Well, there's basically no French Ministry of Magic spying here," Dauris announced, "but it's still not allowed to use spells that are too powerful until the preparations are ready!"
"Oh my God, I'm going to suffocate me...... Lockhart took out his wand and put a few random ones to clean up, while Moody took his magic eye off and washed it in the water he brought with him.
"Gildero, do you only know in Dijon, when will this be found?" asked Anna.
"No, I actually asked my friend carefully, and he couldn't quite tell, but it was clear that it was on some of the highest mountains in the north-east of Dijon. Lockhart replied.
"Okay, then the goal is clear, let's go to the northeast first, and when we see a significantly higher mountain, we will disperse and search. Moody commanded.
Although the conductors of this event should be Dowis and Lockhart, the others have no opinion and quickly begin to carry out Moody's orders, which makes Lockhart have to sigh at the appeal of the old-timers.
Seeing a few mountains that were noticeably taller, Lockhart guessed that this was the place. From here, they scattered into the mountains to search, Lockhart and Moody were in a group, after all, he didn't know anyone else, and Moody was also very safe by his side.
Not daring to use a broom, they all cast a light spell and a swift spell on themselves, and walked quickly between the hills, walking to the highest place, carefully observing.
"The body is good, little Gildero. Moody was still old, and even with the help of magic, he still seemed a little out of breath, and he even took out his old staff to help climb the mountain.
Lockhart observed his surroundings as he used magic trail powder to mark the route for the Auror Division, and if anyone spotted the giants, they would have the Patronus follow them and notify the others.
The scenery on the mountain is indeed very good, the forest is dyed, the fog is filled, just like a fairyland on earth, the only problem is that there is a Muggle expulsion spell here, and the Muggles who rarely break in were also killed by giants, there is no way out at all, the Aurors can only open the way while walking, although they have experienced this kind of training, but few British dark wizards live in this kind of place, and the Aurors have not searched in the mountains at all. Good thing they're wizards......
"If I retire in the future, I'll take my family to live in seclusion in this kind of place, the air in England is terrible, how nice it is...... Lockhart lamented.
"Whew-" Moody replied dismissively.
"Dead old man, why do you disapprove of what I say?" asked Lockhart angrily, as they continued their journey through the mountains on crutches.
"Little Gildero, can you not pretend?" said Moody, mocking, "just a pampered man like you, who has never suffered hardship, and is still living in seclusion in the mountains? where do you get your food and drink? Go out and buy it every week? What's the difference between that and living in Muggles, you must know that all wizards buy their food and clothing from Muggles." Don't think you'll be able to live in seclusion after wilderness survival training!"
"You ****......" Lockhart burst into foul language in dissatisfaction, although he thought he had a point. Forget it, don't be lyrical with this kind of old man, it's really a bad scenery. "Guess how long before we find the giant?"
didn't answer, and when he looked back, Moody's expression suddenly became stern, and he motioned to Lockhart not to make a sound, and Lockhart also became nervous: "What's wrong, did you find anything?" ”
Moody motioned for Lockhart to stop talking, and pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
It turned out that before they knew it, Lockhart and Moody were already walking a few hundred meters along a half-formed dirt road, but just now the two were talking, and they didn't feel that the road suddenly became much better.
There is no large-scale fauna in this kind of mountain forest, and those who can trample the ground out of the way must be giants. Moreover, the surrounding trees had become much shorter, apparently many of them had grown new, and Lockhart could even see the trunks that had been pulled out by the giant and thrown aside.
"Do they pull tree trunks......" Lockhart asked depressedly.
Moody didn't speak, he raised his hand and released his Patronus, the Lion, and then said a few words to the Patronus, and let it go back the way it came, and Lockhart followed suit, and then said to it, "Find the target, speed up." "Let it run back with the lion and inform the others.
The two of them did not wait in place, and continued to search, the further they went, the more traces of the giant's life became, and the ground under their feet had become completely solid at this time, and Lockhart and Moody disappeared and walked along the path of the giant.
Along the way, you can see some caves, which may be temporary resting places for giants, and there are skeletons of animals left over by giants everywhere. Further on, you can even hear the giants moving.
"Enough, wait here for the people behind, it's too dangerous to go any further. Moody reached out to stop Lockhart, and the two hid behind a boulder on the side of the road.
