At this time, Gilderoy Lockhart had just dealt with a Death Eater with Nancy's daughter on his back.

As soon as they walked up the hill, they found the Death Eater standing on a tree looking around, and Lockhart, who had already experienced several life-and-death duels, put down the little girl and approached under the cover of the trees, and knocked him down to the ground with a healing spell in a somewhat professional manner.

The Death Eater's arm turned into a hose with only flesh and no bones, and the wand fell to the ground with him, looking a little delirious due to the height, Lockhart cautiously held the wand, and slowly approached Patricia, and when there was still some distance, Lockhart didn't say a word, and first pulled out all the bones in the other man's leg.

The Death Eater, who had been mended, came to his senses, and he watched Gildero approach with Patricia on his back little by little, trying to hide back, but there were no bones in his arms and legs, and there was no way to borrow strength.

The Death Eaters were anxiously furious, and shouted at Lockhart: "Gildero, don't make any more useless resistance, the front is all our people, even if you succeed in dealing with me, you will be caught in the front, surrender obediently and we will go back to see the master, so that we can suffer less before we die!"

"Forget it!" Gilderoy lifted his chin and leaned slightly to the side, the spell striking his opponent's chest to shut his mouth, then he turned and picked up the little girl and continued walking up the hill, the Death Eater opening his eyes again, he was in a trance, his eyes were confused.

Seeing Lockhart solve another bad guy with her own eyes, the little girl was a little excited, she lay on Lockhart's back and slapped it: "Lockhart, you are getting better and better!"

"Of course, I'm Lockhart, but Patricia remembers to keep quiet, maybe we can solve a few more things like this. Lockhart responded with a smile, but his heart was very heavy.

The Death Eaters already knew where they wanted to go, and they were on the way to Vagado to intercept them, and this guy had just cut off contact with those people, and it would not be long before they knew that they were in this direction, and he was not sure if he would be able to escape from the pursuit of these Death Eaters.

Thinking of this, Lockhart bit his lip and secretly cheered himself on, encouraging himself: since he can already look at the buildings on the top of the mountain, as long as he is careful, he will definitely be able to escape with Patricia.

On the next road, Lockhart became more and more cautious, he was like a frightened rabbit, moving forward on high alert, trying not to make too much noise, Patricia was lying on his back, and he also covered his mouth and did not dare to come out, and the excitement just now made her forget that the other party had confessed and made her feel very guilty.

Their caution worked, and after crossing a hill, a Death Eater he had seen abusing Muggles with great cruelty looked around in front of a jungle of cacti.

Lockhart was some distance away from the Death Eaters, his healing spell couldn't be cast for that long, and Lockhart didn't dare to get too close, and this time unlike just now, there was no cover from trees, he was afraid that he might be discovered if he got too close - Lockhart's eyes looked at the pile of cacti behind the Death Eaters and the cactus balls scattered everywhere, his eyes turned, the distance of the flying spell was not, this kind of summoning spell can make distant items fly into the hands of the spellcaster, and it is also one of the wizards' oldest spells.

Lockhart continued to hide behind the tree, slowly reaching out with his wand to aim at the cactus group behind the Death Eaters, seizing the opportunity for him to turn around and directly let out a "Cactus fly!" , Those cacti and cactus balls that grew on the ground flew towards Lockhart, but the route that flew over was also facing the Death Eater, and because they were too close to each other, countless cactus blocks were fiercely inserted into the body of the Death Eater, especially his eyes, and suddenly, several spikes were directly inserted into his eyeballs, and the pain made him scream in an instant, and he wanted to pull out the cacti on his bare arms, but the pain in his eyes made him dare not continue to act rashly after touching it slightly.

Although he managed to tie the Death Eater into a hedgehog, under the effect of the spell, some cacti and cacti flew towards his palm at high speed, although he tried to dodge, but many of them still pierced Lockhart's arm, which began to run towards the Death Eater after casting the spell, and now he was ragged without a layer of clothing on his arm - ironically, Lockhart's arm was marked by Voldemort's Dark Devil, and the tongue-like snake in the tattooed skull's mouth also happened to be stabbed in the eye by a cactus thorn.

Holding back the pain, Lockhart rushed to the Death Eater, pointed his wand at the other man, and used his trick to get him and the Death Eater in front of him, and then ran away with Patricia.

Lockhart then began to try to pull out the cactus thorn from his arm, but when he found it too time-consuming, he couldn't care so much and began to hurry.

But Patricia didn't understand the reason for this, she saw Lockhart successfully defeat a bad guy again, and her heart jumped, but when she saw Lockhart pull out the thorns left on his arm, she couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "It must be painful." ”

"It's okay, just puncture some skin, time is precious, once these bad guys find out who I have just defeated, they will touch me and hold on to me, I have to speed up, we will be safe!" Lockhart carried Patricia on his back in the jungle, cautiously speeding up a little and moving forward, but the need to observe the situation around them as they walked made them not go much faster.

"Merlin bless..."Lockhart's heart prayed secretly, he knew that he had to hurry, looking at the buildings on the top of the hill in the distance filled his heart with the feeling of pre-dawn darkness, they only had to run to Vagado, the world's largest magic school, they could be saved, those African wizards would protect themselves, and those Death Eaters would not dare to blatantly make trouble here...

Lockhart bit his lip, hoping that he would ignore the pain of the cactus thorns on his arm and the soreness of his muscles, and tried his best to move in the direction of Vagado, and then passed through several forests where trees and cacti combined, and after climbing a small hill, Lockhart suddenly stopped, listened and looked up, and the frightened birds flew in all directions in the direction he came, Lockhart's brows were tightly twisted, it seemed that the Death Eaters had discovered the two wizards they had defeated.

After that, the sound behind him became louder and louder, and there was a faint sound of the Death Eaters searching for them - although they hadn't found Lockhart yet because they still needed a carpet search, but the despair was getting thicker and thicker in his heart, if it fell into the hands of the Death Eaters, he would definitely have no life this time after he had done such a big thing last time- If it weren't for the fact that the magic academy forbade phantom shifting, Lockhart would have planned to take the risk of teleporting directly to the past, and he wouldn't dare to teleport himself and the little girl across continents to other places, and if the distance was too close, even if he managed to escape in front of him, but if the other party was positioned like this, Lockhart felt that his own mental and physical state would not be able to support him to escape again in front of the Death Eaters who could take turns to rest...

Now that the Death Eaters were already behind, Lockhart no longer hid his movements, and ran as hard as he could, Lockhart's heart beat wildly, like a drum, the branches scratched Lockhart's face, cut through his clothes, the vigorous movement made the thorns on his arm make the wound bigger, and blood beads came out all at once, and Lockhart felt a blur in front of him.

Suddenly, however, the woods in front of them were startled with a number of birds - it seemed that the Death Eaters had apparitioned themselves to the front and surrounded them.

Lockhart's sweaty hand wiped his forehead and was shown by the few remaining cactus thorns on it, he bit his lip, wiped it a few times to remove all the thorns, smiled at the little girl who still didn't understand the situation, and put his finger on his lips and made a silent motion.

He slowed his pace, looking left and right to observe his surroundings, the high jungle, the low bushes, where there were not easy to find and suitable places to hide, Lockhart anxiously searched for places to hide, and the sweat on his head continued to flow. But here are either tall trees or low grass, do you want to hide in the grass?

The sound of "crackling" broken branches was faintly heard, and the voice of the Death Eater speaking gradually became clearer, he gritted his teeth, and a green cactus jungle met Lockhart's eyes, his lips had been bitten and bleeding by himself, and he carried Patricia on his back and quickly rushed towards the green cactus jungle.

In front of the cactus jungle, he stopped and crouched down, Patricia slipped off his back, his hands on Patricia's shoulders, his chaotic breathing made his voice thin and weak: "Little Patricia, I'll hide you in the cactus bush in a while, I'll go and get rid of those bad guys and come back to you... But you know I've got a bit of a bad sense of direction... If I haven't come back... Then when you see the sun rise again, you go in the direction of the hilltop building, find those black uncles, and ask them to take you to England to find your mother..."

Patricia looked up at him, her big eyes bloodshot from the side effects of the Mind Drill Spell and days of fugitive, and her nose was red, and she sniffed hard, tears on her dirty little face.

"I don't want to be separated, let's hide together," the little girl said intermittently with a milky voice, "and we are going back to England to find our mother." ”

Patricia covered her face with her hands and wiped her tears and snot, and sobbed uncontrollably.

The expression on Gilderoy Lockhart's face, which looked hideous because of his bald head and blood stains, became extremely gentle, it was planted in his previous world, and there had never been any expression that his previous fans had seen, he squatted down and stretched out his hand to stroke the little girl's hair that had not been washed for a long time and was tangled: "It's just a short separation, if I don't come back to you in time, I will finally go to those big houses on the top of the mountain to find you, I promised you, take you to see your mother." ”

"Are you really going to come back to me?"

"Gilderoy Lockhart never lies... Won't lie to you. ”

Patricia nodded sadly in agreement, and then she threw herself on Lockhart, who was crouching on the ground, and quickly kissed him on the cheek, before she buried herself in Lockhart's arms and continued to sob.

"Patricia, if you are accidentally stabbed by a cactus, you must hold back, hide, and do not move or make a sound whatever you see or hear. When the day comes, I will use this stick to poke the cactus open..."Lockhart used his wand to dig a hole in the cactus bush for the little girl to get into, and then Lockhart waved his wand, and the cactus and cactus balls gradually covered the hole.

But when he was about to completely cover the entrance of the cave, Lockhart suddenly remembered that he had to reach out and take out the crumpled manuscript from his coat pocket, and finally he couldn't help but hand the book to the cave: "Patricia, if I come back late, remember to teach the book to those black uncles..."

"Okay. The little hand in the cave stretched out and took the book, and the little girl's glutinous voice came, "Then don't come back late!"

"I try, remember not to make a sound!" Lockhart's gaze lingered on the book's trajectory, muttering in a low voice, "This time, I'm really not a liar." ”

Immediately, Lockhart waved his wand, and the cactus and cactus completely sealed the hole, and he manually adjusted it again, trying to make sure that the cacti that had actually broken and fell down with a push could not see any traces.

Lockhart stood up, and was about to leave when he heard the childish voice of a little girl coming from the cactus pile: "Lockhart." ”

Lockhart's head trembled slightly, and he turned his head: "Don't be afraid, Patricia, I told you not to make a sound..."

"You are my hero. ”

Lockhart's pale face and lips trembled slightly, his lips were closed tightly, he put his hand on the cacti above the heads of the little girls, and prayed to Merlin without caring about the pain caused by the thorns: If you really have any magic, Merlin, if you do have any strength, show your power to protect this little creature to climb to Vagado and return to England!

The bald wizard didn't think about the possibility that he might escape from Ascension if he used Apparition Shifter himself now without taking anyone with him, because the Death Eaters who didn't find his trace would certainly continue to search the carpet before they got the news, and the little girl would inevitably be spotted by them, and he just ran towards the place where the birds had just taken off in the forest in front of him, intending to deliberately show up and attract all the Death Eaters to him—the Death Eaters were targeting him, and neither they nor their masters cared about a little Muggle girl.

"Goodbye, Patricia. Lockhart replied softly, tears already welling up in his eyes, but he had a resolute expression on his face that did not hesitate to move forward.
