Chapter 175
Chapter 176 Tesla Graves
While Ives was talking to Dumbledore, footsteps came from the slope outside.
“……There is still too little research on Obscurus in the magical world. In recent years, the only person who has successfully separated Obscurus from the little wizard is Newt.”
“Professor,” Ives interrupted, pricking up his ears to distinguish the subtle footsteps, and asked,”Is Mr. Scamander here?”
“……Raise your wand, Ives!”
“yes.”
Avis and Elizabeth were startled, and then raised their wands with serious faces.
Step by step, in the nervous eyes of the two people, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
A little fluorescent light was revealed from the dim passage, and then, a A figure holding a wand appeared in front of them.
The candlelight in the secret room illuminated the figure, and they finally saw clearly who it was. It was a middle-aged wizard with gray temples.
“Mr. Graves?!”Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise. Yes, the person who came was Tesla Graves
, the director of the Auror Office. He had just been interrogated by the Magical Security Office and cleared his suspicions, and then he stopped walking. He rushed here without stopping. Both Ives and Elizabeth were suspicious of him. Even though they had clearly seen that it was Graves who entered the secret room, they still did not put down the wand in their hands. A gentle smile appeared on Graves’ face. , he raised his hands and pointed his wand at the ceiling to show that he meant no harm.
“Mr. Evans, Miss Smaglin,” he said warmly,”please put down your wand. I know what you are worried about, but I have just been interrogated by the head of magical security. I can guarantee that I am not a mole.”
“Mr. Graves, why are you here?”Elizabeth asked before Ives could.
“The same reason you are here. He shrugged,”I also felt that there might be some undiscovered clues here, so I hurried here to prevent the purifiers from clearing them out.””
Graves raised his hands and stretched his neck forward. This action allowed him to see the four missing little wizards lying on the ground.
“That is?”There was a shocked expression on his face.
Under the vigilant eyes of Ivis and Elizabeth, he withdrew his wand and hurriedly ran to the unconscious little wizard, carefully checking their situation.
“Phew~” Graves breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was glad that these little wizards had just passed out.
He turned his head, frowned and said,”Mr. Evans, I think we need to send them to the hospital immediately.”
Avis and Elizabeth looked at each other, opened their mouths hesitantly, and did not answer. Obviously they did not intend to obey his command.
In their hearts, they believed in Dumbledore’s decision more than in the Congress where a spy had appeared.. They would rather wait for Newt Scamander to take over these little wizards and Obscurans than expose them to the eyes of Congress.
To put it bluntly, the character of politicians is sometimes worse than that of terrorists..
Ives doesn’t think those politicians can remain unmoved when a man-made method of creating Obscurus appears in front of them.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?”Graves’ brows became tighter and tighter, and he asked again,”Did you find other clues?”
The two still didn’t answer. Graves couldn’t sit still. He picked up a fainted little wizard and started
to walk out.
Ives stood in front of him,”Mr. Graves, I’m sorry, but please believe us. Leave them to me for now”
“here you are?”Graves sneered, as if he heard some terrible joke,”How can you, a twelve-year-old wizard, solve this case?”
Ives silently pointed the double-sided mirror in his hand at him.
Graves saw Dumbledore stunned, and immediately reacted and said hello politely:”Hello, Mr. Chairman.”
“Hello, Mr. Graves,” Dumbledore stroked his beard and said like a gentle elder:”The last time we met was probably at the Magic Summit the year before last.”
“That’s right.”Graves nodded. He knew what Dumbledore meant.
Dumbledore was reminding him that if he could remember the last time the two met so clearly, it must be him, not someone else. A counterfeit disguised as Polyjuice Potion or Body Transfiguration.
Although he didn’t think anyone had the ability to pretend to be this, the most powerful white wizard in the world today.
“Mr. Chairman, is this what you mean?” he asked carefully
“Although I have no intention of intervening in parliamentary affairs,” Dumbledore’s blue eyes showed seriousness,”but on this matter, I want to say, yes”
“Did you find any clues?”Graves asked,”Can you tell me something?”
Dumbledore shook his head firmly.
“Then we have nothing to say.”
The talk broke down, and Graves was not angry. Under the eyes of everyone, he placed the little wizard in his arms steadily on the ground.
Suddenly, he took out his wand and hit Ivy with a stun spell with his backhand. Si.
An illusory magic barrier opened and bounced the spell back along its original path.
Graves waved his hand and threw the rebounded stun spell towards the ceiling.
“He is worthy of being the recipient of the Second Class Order of Merlin,” he said.”You are so young, but your strength cannot be underestimated. Can you still stop me like this?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another red light lit up in the secret room.
Expelliarmus!
Graves thought silently in his heart. He didn’t believe that a twelve-year-old wizard could block a disarming spell with all his strength. The armor protected him.
Until Red Once he was close enough, Avis used the Iron Armor Curse in a leisurely manner, just like a game player pursuing the perfect QTE.
According to Graves’ estimation, the strength of the magic power in Avis’ body should not be enough to block his disarm. Curse.
However, this disarming curse that he had high hopes for did not break Ives’ iron armor curse, but was blocked back.
“How is this possible?” Graves was a little shocked. He still underestimated the youngest winner of the Order of Merlin. Magic power surged from the tip of his wand, directing the red light towards the wall. The movement was slightly more difficult than before.
Bang!
There was a loud noise and a big hole was blown into the wall.
“Mr. Graves. Ives, who had been restraining himself from taking any action, began to persuade:”Since there is a mole in Congress, it is the best choice to place these little wizards in the place arranged by Professor Dumbledore.””
“please believe us.”His tone was full of sincerity
“What exactly did you find?”Graves had a gloomy face.
Ives wanted to speak to comfort him, but his next words made his face change wildly.
“Have you discovered the secret room behind the wall?!”
