#339 - Dorset (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

What differed slightly from Anduin's expectations was that these jammers were actually stored at Aselia's house and never separated from her.

Moreover, for a long period afterward, the positions of these jammers didn't change.

This even caused Anduin some confusion. Did Aselia not have any accomplices? Why would she put everything in her own home?

In Anduin's view, Aselia was more of an inside contact within the Ministry of Magic. Like the smuggling operation last time, the people involved in the operation didn't even interact with Aselia. Logically, these alchemical devices should have been transferred to the operatives.

But ten days had passed without any activity. Aselia maintained a very regular routine, as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, one of the three pairs of tactical boots Anduin had sold to Aselia had undergone a long-distance displacement.

This had happened a few days prior. During a routine check, Kiki discovered that one of the monitored pairs of tactical boots had moved, and at a considerable speed.

Before she could even react, the distance of the movement had exceeded the sensing range of the magical tracker. It was important to note that this was a tracking device that Anduin had upgraded multiple times, capable of covering all areas within mainland Britain, including the island of Ireland.

Now that contact was lost, it meant either it was being interfered with, or the distance was too great.

Anduin's judgment was the latter, because the last position the tracker pointed to was northeast, in the direction of continental Europe.

Aselia had likely transferred those boots to Europe, possibly even mailing them via owl.

"Were they sent back to headquarters? Or given away as a gift?" Although Anduin had many guesses, he didn't have any specific solutions. He couldn't just run abroad to track this signal.

However, just as he was getting worried about this disappearing signal, the jammers showed some changes.

One day, about a week before the Christmas holidays, around 8 PM, Kiki Apparated to the alchemy lab in a hurry.

"Master, those jammers have moved!" Kiki, clutching several trackers in her hand, rushed to Anduin's workbench to report.

Anduin raised an eyebrow. He had finally waited for it. He thought they could really hold their breath.

"Where's Aselia? Did her position move with the jammers?" Anduin quickly stood up and asked with a stern expression.

"No, after observation, Aselia's tracker is in another direction, consistent with her usual position in the Ministry of Magic. She should still be in the Ministry." Kiki took out a tracker and said after confirming it repeatedly.

"It seems her accomplices have finally appeared." Anduin nodded. "Did all the jammers move? Did the surveillance around Aselia's house observe anything unusual?"

"Reporting, Master, only 8 jammers moved, including 4 anti-Apparition jammers and 4 shielding jammers. The remaining two are with Aselia, she should be carrying them with her."

"And the surveillance at Hogwarts shows that there was no disturbance at Aselia's house. They should have moved via Apparition or Floo Network," Kiki reported crisply.

This was consistent with previous observations. Aselia always carried the other two jammers with her, continuously since the jammers were stolen.

"Very good, notify Hog to watch the house. I'll go after them with you. I want to see what these guys are up to." Anduin narrowed his eyes and turned to Kiki to deploy.

"Yes, Master!" Kiki accepted the order and quickly disappeared, needing to relay the order to Hog.

Anduin also acted quickly, donning his personal equipment, then Apparating to find Kiki.

"Hog, pay attention to the situation at home, and monitor Aselia. If there are any abnormalities, contact us through the communication amulet."

Anduin glanced at Hog, who was sitting in front of the monitor, then turned to Kiki, "Let's go."

Kiki obediently nodded, then stepped forward, took Anduin's hand, and Apparated away from Diagon Alley.

Kiki's Apparition skills were even higher than Anduin's, not only consuming less magic but also having better control, able to move directly to places she had never been before. Anduin had always wanted to learn this skill, but he was still not proficient, so tracking this task still had to be led by Kiki.

Kiki turned into a cloud of invisible smoke with Anduin, penetrating all the air and solids encountered, moving at high speed in a certain direction.

As time went on, Anduin could feel that they were gradually leaving London and heading southwest.

Because the target was clear, Kiki's chase speed was quite fast, crossing several counties in almost just a few minutes.

Just as they were about to fly out of mainland Britain, Kiki's magic began to contract, and she materialized in a relatively empty area with no people.

Kiki breathed a few breaths lightly. Although she had been receiving Anduin's training for a long time, and now both her magic control and storage had made great progress.

But carrying a wizard with abundant magic power, while tracking and rushing, was still very difficult for her.

"Master, the tracker pointer has shifted significantly just now, proving that we are close to, or even past the target, but I dare not materialize in too complex terrain, otherwise it is easy to split. I suggest that the remaining journey should be done by physical movement," Kiki reported to Anduin as soon as she could catch her breath.

"Thank you for your hard work." Anduin nodded in agreement. "Being able to roughly lock the location is enough, you did a good job."

After the two stabilized, Anduin confirmed their current location. It should be somewhere in Dorset in southwestern England.

Then Anduin took out a bottle of Vitality Potion and handed it to Kiki. After she slowly drank it, Anduin gently picked her up.

Then he unfolded the dark black cloak behind him and soared into the air with a 'whoosh'.

This was a flying cloak he developed after understanding the mysteries of the Levitation Charm, which could replace the broom and allow him to fly in the air.

Although relying solely on the cloak, its top speed was not as good as a broom, it was more flexible, and after being blessed by his extraordinary level of Levitation Charm, it could also explode with very high speed, not worse than the current Nimbus series brooms.

Anduin held Kiki in his arms, both of them activated their Disillusionment Charms, Kiki held the tracker in her hand to identify the direction, and Anduin concentrated on rushing towards the target location.
