Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#342 - Weird House (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)
Anduin spurred his full magical power, advancing forward at a very fast speed.
Even so, the flying cloak didn't make a single sound, the two of them like invisible specters in the night.
Under Anduin's skillful control, they passed through the original jungle, traversed a small town, and finally moved away from populated areas, heading towards the more complex edge of the forest.
Just as Anduin had been flying for almost half an hour, he received a report from Qi Qi that they were approaching their target.
Anduin gradually slowed down, then lowered his altitude, converting the original high-speed sprint into a flexible, small-scale shift, while maintaining a height of a dozen meters above the ground.
At this time, it was pitch black all around, and as far as the eye could see, there were trees and high slopes. Anduin judged from the distance that this was the outskirts of a small town in Dorset.
It wasn't until they crossed a hillside that they suddenly saw a bright, wide, open valley not far in front of them, with a wide view and pleasant scenery.
The center of the valley was very flat and open, and the slopes on both sides were not very steep. Many larches and birches grew on them, but it was already winter, and they were covered with a thick layer of snow.
At this time, the valley looked empty, but through the tracker, he knew that the target was inside.
Anduin also clearly felt a faint magical fluctuation brewing in front of him. He judged that shielding jammers had been deployed here. Only powerful shielding magic could prevent wizards from seeing the clues.
He slowly landed on the high ground of the hillside and put Qi Qi down.
Then, looking in the direction of the valley, he slowly took out a monocle from his jacket pocket and put it on. At this moment, the appearance of the empty valley in front of him changed dramatically.
Inside the valley, there was a bizarrely shaped detached house that revealed a hint of natural beauty. It looked like a Weasley's Burrow, but to be honest, compared to the Burrow, which looked like it had been forcibly pieced together, this house was much more regular.
At this time, faint lights were flickering in the cottage, and he could vaguely see figures moving inside. He even saw some figures that were different from humans through the windows.
"Are those magical creatures? Does someone keep large magical creatures at home?" Anduin looked at the house strangely, then observed the surroundings through the Echo Glasses.
Because the people in this house didn't look like the target who deployed the jammers.
So, it was obvious that those who used the jammers must still be hiding around, and it was very likely that their target was this house.
Sure enough, after he used the Echo Charm to probe around the house, he immediately found those jammers. They were in pairs, forming a square rectangle, surrounding the house in front of him, and they were also very cunningly hidden with a Disillusionment Charm.
But what puzzled him was that no matter how Anduin probed, he couldn't find even a single figure around. Even if he circled the entire valley from a distance, he couldn't see any traces of activity.
Even next to those invisible jammers, there were no footprints. You must know that it was winter now, and there was a layer of snow on the ground, but those jammers seemed to appear out of thin air, and the surrounding snow was smooth.
"How is it? Sir, did you find them?" Qi Qi looked at Anduin, who had flown out invisibly for a while and then came back, and asked curiously in a low voice.
Anduin shook his head helplessly. "I can see those eight jammers, but I can't see anyone at all. It's like they disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that they have sneaked into that house?"
"Then, shall we sneak in and take a look?" Qi Qi suggested in a low voice.
Anduin still shook his head. "It's too risky to break into this kind of place with unknown details. Besides, we don't know if this is the organization's base camp. Maybe these jammers are just used to guard their home. Although it doesn't look like it, all possibilities must be taken into account."
"Then..." Qi Qi didn't know what to do when she heard that this wouldn't work and that wouldn't work. Then she rolled her eyes. "Then, why don't we turn off the jammers and lure the Ministry of Magic over? Maybe we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
"It's still a bit inappropriate. Although these jammers have my back door, our main focus this time is to collect intelligence. We should try not to let them know that someone can manipulate these devices. Otherwise, wouldn't remotely closing them expose our target in advance?" Anduin wouldn't expose the existence of the back door unless it was absolutely necessary, as it would easily lead people to associate it with him.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch like this?" Qi Qi had no ideas now. Although Anduin usually taught her to think more, her brain circuit couldn't think very far.
"Be patient." Anduin gently patted Qi Qi's head. "They've traveled all the way here and used all the jammers. They must have their own purpose. Let's wait and see what happens."
Then he took out a bottle of potion from his body and handed it to Qi Qi. "Although our equipment can keep us warm and insulated, it's still not good for our bodies to be exposed to the cold air for a long time. Drink some potion first, then stay here invisible. I'll sneak a little closer and see if I can find anything."
Qi Qi knew that her master had always been very timid, and he would definitely run faster than her when he encountered danger, so she didn't say anything worried. After taking the potion, she quietly hid in the bushes next to her.
Anduin carefully maintained his floating state, activated all the invisibility and silent functions on his body, and then slowly floated close to the ground to a place about a hundred meters away from the house, hiding behind a thick birch tree, quietly observing the house in front of him.
After he got close enough, Anduin saw more details from the windows of the house.
He watched as a large, somewhat malnourished-looking vulture passed by the window, turning its head to look outside for a while as it passed.
An Augurey? Anduin recognized the magical creature that appeared in front of the window at a glance. After all, he had learned quite well in his Care of Magical Creatures class. However, this Augurey was quite large, almost the size of an ostrich.
Then, through the window, he saw several other magical creatures of various shapes, including Nifflers, Mooncalves, Diricawls, etc., and they were all in very good condition. This house was like a small zoo.
But at this moment, two Kneazles suddenly jumped out of the cat flap in the front door of the house one after another and pounced into the snow to play.
"Hobie, Millie, don't run around!"
At this time, the front door of the house was also opened, and a childish voice came from behind the door.
