"Is that woman the 'Alyssa' they just mentioned?"

Although it only took the two or three seconds for the door to open and close when the two people entered the room, Brooks could still roughly see the figure in the room - it was a woman with a pretty good appearance, a very friendly appearance, and she was just recently

The type of person who can naturally give people a certain degree of favorable impression upon meeting him face to face.

Why on earth would such a seemingly friendly woman appear here now, and from the previous conversation between the two of them, it seemed obvious that she was taking the initiative to do something that was probably not a good thing for the owner of this room? In this regard,

At least Brooks was quite curious.

Maybe we can find out the reason why Tia came here?

It's a pity that it's obviously not convenient for them to go in and take a second look now, so they can only stay in the corridor outside for the time being and wait for the conversation between the three people in the room...or in other words, the negotiation is over.

"Hey, can you hear what's being said inside?" Brooks thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked softly to the Shitabe boy beside him.

However, the boy did not answer his question. Instead, after a moment of silence, he glanced at Brooks and said:

"That female human is a wizard."

"ah?"

After entering this monastery, the Shitabe boy had clearly told him that all the humans living here seemed to be ordinary people, what American wizards called "No-Majs". In fact,

It is precisely because of this that although the two of them never dared to use magic spells easily, they managed to hide here for many days without being discovered by the residents here.

However, under such a premise, it became quite abrupt when another witch suddenly appeared.

"If she is actually the 'Dean', then we will be much more relaxed next time." Brooks couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "But it is obvious that she is not... could it be that she is from the Magic Congress of the United States of America?

?”

Although he still doesn't know that the situation here has been classified as a case in Congress, but now that he has discovered that there is an obvious abnormality in this monastery, as a child of the Stewart family, Brooks still has considerable feelings towards MACUSA.

Confident - even he had already found this place all the way. Counting the time he and Tia spent skipping school, his family and the Auror office should have responded.

"If she really is an Auror—"

Originally, Brooks regarded his pursuit of Tia all the way here as a part-time excursion between No-Maj cities to find people. But now, everything has passed through the Shitabe tribe next to him.

The boy realized that there was danger here. After all, Brooks was still quite cautious and honest by nature. In fact, he no longer dared to act too impulsively.

It was only his worry about Tia that made him never stop moving forward.

However, while Brooks was hesitating, he suddenly heard a gentle but unexpectedly stern warning from the Shitabe boy next to him.

"You reek of hoping for luck," he said calmly, "I advise you, it is best not to gamble with fate with nothing, unless you are ready to use your own life as a bet."

"Uh," Brooks was startled when he heard this, then nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you, I understand."

"Um."

The Shitabe boy also nodded his head, and then suddenly reached out and tugged on Brooks's clothes, gesturing toward the corner from which he came.

Apparently, he probably realized that the three people in the room had finished talking. Maybe they could go over there and wait for the three people to come out, and then secretly follow them.

"I hope they will go the other way." Brooks prayed secretly in his heart as he followed the boy.

…

Facts have proved that the Shtabe boy's choice was not wrong. The three people in the room had no intention of going back after going out, but chose the other end of the corridor as expected. Brooks originally wanted to ask him why he guessed

He had to be so accurate, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party reached out and blocked it back.

Now that they know that there is a wizard among the three people walking in front, they naturally cannot be too careful. Even the Shitabe tribesmen, who have great individual abilities, have never dared to look down on the wizard.

The Shitabe boy who was leading Brooks slowed down a lot and put a longer distance between them. Because he knew that the witch seemed to have agreed to the two people's request to take her to see the dean.

Next, this wizard may not be the only wizard he and Brooks will face.

Probably because the Shitabe boy's mood was rare and tense, Brooks was immediately affected by it, and his steps gradually became a little stiff. Forced by the rising tension, he subconsciously reached into his pocket.

Your own magic wand.

But before his palm could reach the handle of the stick, the Shitabe boy, who seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, reached back and grabbed his wrist first.

The next moment, Brooks saw the other party looking back slightly and shaking his head at himself - the Shtabe tribe does not use a magic wand to perform magic, but for the role of the small stick in each wizard's hand, as someone who has fought with wizards

They may know it better than the current generation of wizards.

If there are excessive emotional fluctuations when holding the wand, at least the Shitabe tribe can "taste" some clues. Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is best for Brooks not to touch his wand before a real battle occurs.

To be honest, he was actually quite wary of the strength of the "master" here - he had already said it on the day he came here, it smelled very dangerous!

Of course, although Brooks still didn't quite know why the other party stopped him from taking out the wand, just as he had shown trust in the Shitabe boy again and again along the way, he still had reasons to trust the other party this time.

Brooks didn't say a word, but silently removed his hand from his pocket, and then continued to follow the Shitabe boy who was bowing forward again.

I don’t know exactly how long it took, but Brooks thought it must have been five or six minutes! The Shitabe boy walking in front of him suddenly stopped again and waved his hand to indicate that he should stay in the squatting position and stay close.

wall.

Then, Brooks finally heard the other party speak for the first time since following the three people, and muttered briefly:

"It turns out...the entrance is hidden here."
