Chapter 683: A City That Seems Familiar
Lupine, it's me... I have something to investigate. I'll wait for you in the reception room downstairs.
Maca didn't wait for the door to open, but left a word outside the door, and then left with Lena. After the two came to the reception room across the hall, Maca sat down at the table.
Is Lenny asleep?
Even for that little girl who kept arguing all day long, she will always miss her after a long time.
Black's old house has never been very lively, and since the Weasleys returned, it has become even more deserted. So even if you often feel bored after hearing too much noise, it is actually indispensable.
Especially for the few children who are still here, the long-term captivity has had a great psychological impact on them. And Leni's noisy bluffing is the nutrition they need now.
Yes, Leni has fallen asleep. Lena didn't talk much, basically she asked a question before answering, I'm going to make some tea for everyone...
Oh, no. Maca waved his hand and said, No need...we should go when Sirius comes back. After we go out, you can continue to go back to your room to rest! Or, actually, you can go now
No hurry... just wait a minute.
Lena shook her head slightly, and then sat down on the old armchair beside the long table.
Probably because she just got up from the bed, her hair was not tied up as usual. When she turned her head, the ends of the hair around her ears slipped slightly, causing her to raise her hand to push them back behind her ears.
The girl was very good at enjoying the peace and quiet, and nothing really mattered to her except Leni's opposite sister. No matter how boring the life here is, she can accept it without boredom.
Rather than worrying that she would get bored, Leni's side was more worrying, but Maca really didn't have anything for them to do.
How is Lenny doing recently? Didn't you go messing about somewhere?
Just as Maca asked this question, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the reception room. Lena opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again.
The next moment, Lupine's fully dressed figure appeared in Maca's sight.
Oh, Maca! Good evening!
It wasn't Lupine who said hello first, but Nymphadora Tonks, another person who squeezed halfway in from behind him.
Well, good evening... Maca said, showing an ambiguous smile, It seems that I accidentally disturbed you... I hope it wasn't at the most critical moment?
Uh... hello!
Tonks' face flushed a little more immediately, and her capricious shoulder-length hair gradually became much darker from the original pink. However, she originally had a more boyish and hearty personality, and she soon became generous again, even glaring at Maca.
On the contrary, Lu Ping's expression seemed rather awkward. After all, being teased by a junior who could be his own son regardless of his age was a complicated feeling.
Maka, you said there is something that needs to be investigated? What is it? He waved his hand pretending to be calm,
He randomly pulled out a chair and sat down, Hmm... is it related to the upcoming alchemy competition?
If there is any major event that is about to happen recently, it will undoubtedly be the International Alchemy Competition to be held at Hogwarts. Coupled with the fact that this event is of great significance to Hogwarts, Lupine guessed the general direction of the matter just by thinking about it.
That's right! Maca shrugged, I got news that the Iranian wizarding world seems to be a bit unsafe, and it specifically involves the Indian delegation that hasn't arrived at Hogwarts this time, and...
After briefly talking about the general situation, he tapped the table with his knuckles and paused for a while. After Lupine and Tonks digested his narrative, he spread his hands.
The source of the information may not be comprehensive and reliable. After all, the person who provided this information is not my own... Maca said, But if this matter is true, we must deal with it as soon as possible. To be honest, this is a matter of Nicolas Lemay's business. Intellectual heritage, the possibility is really not small. Not to mention anything else, the stock of the elixir of life that may exist is worth a lot of people's risk...
Indeed... Lupine couldn't help frowning, Except for a few people like Dumbledore... who wouldn't want to live a few more years?
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Tonks beside him, and the other party gave him a warm and cheerful smile in return.
There is an age gap between the two that cannot be ignored. Although Lupine seems to have accepted Tonks's sincere feelings, he always falters when thinking about the future.
At least I think that the six hundred years of the Lemay couple's life must not have been all happy... Maca said with a smile, In short, after Sirius comes back, let's go to Iran to have a look!
Is it just the three of us? Lupine nodded after thinking for a while, Well, if you just go to investigate, it's not good if there are too many people.
Three? Tonks was dissatisfied when he heard that, What about me? Are you planning to keep me here? I'm also a working Auror!
That's why! Maca said naturally, You have to go to work tomorrow morning, right? And... hey, why do I remember that you barely passed the assessment of stealth and tracking?
Lupine also teased: If you don't wake up Mrs. Black when you go to the kitchen, then your stealth evaluation will be good.
Hearing this, Tonks finally laid down on the table helplessly, and then sighed heavily.
Alright alright……
Just as Maca and Lupine looked at each other and smiled, there was a creaking sound of a door being opened in the hall. Several people in the reception room immediately understood that Sirius should be back.
Sirius, Maca got up and greeted him, You can go to the Leaky Cauldron to pass the time, so you must be fine, right? Get ready, let's go to the Iranian magic world together, and talk about the specific situation on the way.
Are you going out again? I just came back
Sirius still had that foolish look on his face, although he was complaining, but the expression on his face was full of excitement. This guy is a person who can't be idle, Maca knows it all.
...
Iran is a typical khaki country.
Due to the geographical location, there are many extremely dry desert terrains, so that many areas are in the heat for a long time. And this has been so since it was here called the Empire of Persia.
When Maca, Lupine, and Sirius arrived in Iran, it was already late at night. But the same is true of the Muggle world today. Even at night, the abundant lights can still make up for the evening lighting. In the busiest places, people can't even distinguish day from night.
Fortunately, as far as the information provided by Rita Skeeter is concerned, they don't need to be too close to the noisy streets where Muggles come and go. In this case, even if these few foreigners visit them boldly, they will not attract the attention of the local residents.
Maca?
Under the night of this Iranian city, Maka looked at the earth-colored domed buildings near and far, as well as the patterns on the walls, and couldn't help but stop slightly in a daze.
In a daze, he couldn't help feeling a sense of deja vu lingering in his heart, as if he had been to a similar place in the past.
Huh? Under Lupine's questioning eyes, Maca let out a sigh of relief, and then smiled again, It's nothing, just... I remembered a small thing from the past.
As he spoke, his right hand subconsciously clenched for a moment, and then slowly released it.
Let's go, the place we are going to should be in the old city in the north. In order not to startle the snake, let's go around the side... There are so many people on the street, maybe we will fall into some 'wishful people' ' in the eyes of...
Although it was late at night, there were still a lot of people on the central street. After entering the city, Maca and the other three passed by the nearby residential area that had been shrouded in darkness, and went straight to the old building area in the north of the city.
The earthy yellow here is thicker than other urban areas, but it is still a dark night, and the moonlight illuminates the brownish-yellow walls a little white. Because the streets and alleys in the past were mostly narrow and closed, walking among the low houses lined up, you can even feel a bit crowded and cramped from the ancient life.
To put it bluntly, this is also the first time for Maca to come to this city. Rita Skeeter clearly explained the exact location, but she still has to search for it when she gets here.
...Is it here?
In a very narrow gap between houses, Maca sensed some strange magic fluctuations. And as he walked in, the fluctuation became more obvious.
Until he casually pushed aside a few broken baskets blocking the way, a door frame that had already been sealed with earthen bricks came into his sight.
It should be right, Maca turned around and whispered, We will go in after we put on the illusion spell. The back of this should be a wizard street like Diagon Alley, but it is said that there are many alleys, so be careful when you walk through it. route.
After Lupine and Sirius nodded, Maca cast the Disillusionment Charm on the three of them respectively, and then stretched out his hand to check on the brick wall.
Not long after, he drew a small pattern on a few bricks, and then his whole hand disappeared into the wall.
“Really bad experience”
Feeling the viscous feeling of passing through mud, Maca muttered in a low voice before diving in.
