Chapter 124 Important Discovery
It is still this deserted little village, and still this dilapidated two-story building.
As soon as Yang Tianyi entered the room, he asked excitedly: "Grandpa Xia, which line has a major breakthrough?"
Hearing this, Old Xia laughed out loud, "Young Master is wise. Do you still remember the line you told Wu Chi to follow about Old Tom? Originally, there were no useful clues, but in the past two days, this organization seemed to be planning some big event, so they made frequent moves, and finally Wu Chi discovered the clues. Xiaojiu, come and tell the young master about it."
Upon hearing this, the drunkard, the leader of the Five Idiots, stepped forward and said, "This is indeed a major breakthrough! Yesterday morning, Old Tom's upline suddenly showed up at his home. It was a black-robed wizard. We don't know what the two of them talked about, but when we followed up on this upline afterwards, we got a pleasant surprise."
"We have discovered four strongholds! And we have used the secret method of "primer search" to investigate, and we have basically confirmed that, except for one stronghold of a higher level, there are at least thirty people in each of the other three strongholds!"
As he spoke, Jiuchi took out a map and pointed out the locations of the strongholds to Yang Tian. After thinking for a while, he added: "But most of them are currently packing their bags and frequently mention a place name."
"Where?" Yang Tian asked impatiently.
"Albania," the drunkard answered immediately.
Albania? Yang Tian's thoughts were all over the place. Wasn't that where Voldemort had hidden in the original book? But the Dark Lord was on the back of Professor Quirrell's head.
What exactly does Sarok want to do? Talk about cooperation? No, that doesn't require so many people...
Could it be that they want to...? Yang Tian suddenly thought of a possibility, and the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed.
"Do you know how many people are left behind in their stronghold?" Yang Tian asked again.
"It's impossible to be completely sure, but judging from the scale of the mobilization, the number of people left behind in these small strongholds will be more than ten, and no more than twenty at most, right?" Drunkard said uncertainly.
"As for that large stronghold, since we detected the presence of high-level wizards inside, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we did not use excessive reconnaissance methods. Therefore, we can only roughly determine that there are about a hundred people in this stronghold. If they stay behind... it is estimated that at least half of them will stay."
Hearing this, Yang Tian was moved and asked, "Do you know when these people will set off?"
"Currently, some black-robed wizards have left the base, but they left in an organized group, making it difficult to track them. Judging from the current situation, all personnel should be mobilized before the sun sets."
Yang Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and a crazy plan swirled in his mind for a long time...
"Grandpa Xia, how many talismans do we have? Are they enough to take down these four strongholds?" Yang Tian suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, young master. We have made sufficient preparations to protect you this time. We have talismans, of course, and quite a few of them. However, are you sure you want to attack these people? The head of the family has ordered you to ensure your absolute safety. A battle like this... Otherwise, you can go back to school and wait for news, and leave these people to us?" Old Xia asked uncertainly.
"No, no, no, Grandpa Xia, I think you misunderstood. We are not only here to fight, but also to act!" Yang Tian quickly told him the plan he had come up with.
"This...is this possible, young master? Logically speaking, I cannot take you on an adventure." Old Xia said with a little hesitation.
"Grandpa Xia, how can this be considered a risk? There are only a few of them. Their strength is far inferior to the last battle at the research institute, and our strength is actually enhanced. And we did it deliberately, so I really don't think there is any danger in this operation."
Seeing Elder Xia's expression of concern, Yang Tian hurriedly continued, "As long as our operation is successful this time, other benefits aside, at least my parents' side will be completely cleared. The most important thing now is to prepare for the battle as soon as possible, and not to disclose the news to anyone, including my parents!"
After hearing this, Old Xia finally made up his mind. After everyone discussed the details, Yang Tian hurriedly returned to Hogwarts Castle through the secret passage...
In the abandoned classroom, Yang Tian ignored his friends' heated discussion about the game and went straight to the point: "Parvati, I need your help now."
"When did you become so polite? Just tell me if you have something to say." Parvati said in confusion.
"I need you to get the hair of Ron's pet mouse as soon as possible without arousing anyone's suspicion. Is there a problem?" Yang Tian asked immediately.
"Of course it's no problem. Ron always brings his Scabbers to the common room and I've played with it before. But you can ask me for help, but you have to tell me why you do this." Parvati said as a matter of course.
"Go and do it as soon as possible. I must verify my thoughts first before I can know the answer. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation tomorrow."
Seeing Yang Tian was so decisive, Parvati said nothing more and turned around and left.
Instead, a group of friends surrounded Yang Tian with unfriendly faces, as if they were determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
But this time, Yang Tian did not compromise. He calmly revised the paper in his hand, letting the wind and rain blow it away...
At eight o'clock in the evening, again in the abandoned classroom, Parvati took out seven or eight strands of hair under Yang Tian's anxious eyes: "Hmph, you start hiding again, it's really annoying." After that, she reluctantly handed the things to Yang Tian.
"This time is different! But don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation tomorrow and I will never shirk my responsibility."
Seeing everyone's slightly relieved expressions, Yang Tiancai asked again, "Are you sure you didn't arouse Ron's suspicion? Was the little mouse not frightened?"
"How could I possibly doubt it? I was just combing the little guy's hair. Ron is really unhygienic. Banban's hair is all tangled. Isn't it normal to comb out a few strands?" Parvati replied unhappily.
Hearing this, Yang Tian immediately put his worries to rest. He then led everyone to start today's learning task...
At 12 o'clock midnight, on the outskirts of Hogsmeade Village, relying on the Marauder's Map and the secret passage, Yang Tian, dressed in nightmare attire, arrived at the pre-arranged gathering point without any danger. However, he saw more than wizards dressed in nightmare attire had been waiting for a long time.
Thinking about what happened just now, Yang Tian couldn't help but smile. These friends are really not easy to deal with. They didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but hid in the main roads inside and outside the public lounge, with the purpose of surrounding him. Obviously, everyone guessed that he would take action tonight.
But the problem was that he had the live map in his hands, and he also had the somersault cloud, so he could just change the route. As for letting these friends wait in vain, Yang Tian could only say sorry in his heart.
"Young Master, now you are here, take a look at how we look. Are we okay?" Old Xia stepped forward quickly and asked half-jokingly.
After Yang Tian glanced at everyone one by one, he smiled and said, "Very good, it's absolutely perfect. However, if you don't use your best weapons, won't your combat effectiveness be affected?"
"Don't worry, young master. They are all handy weapons, they just changed their appearance. Besides, aren't we mainly using talismans this time?" Old Xia showed no panic at all.
Yang Tian was filled with pride when he heard this, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"
