#506 - Action begins (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

“It's not the right time yet. My position is quite special, and it's not convenient for me to directly enter the park. You'll have to hold on for a few more days. Google search reading,” Anduin said, then added sternly, “Besides, I need you to complete a task next.”

“Ah? Doesn't that mean I still have to stay in this crappy zoo? I feel like if I stay here any longer, I might actually turn into an animal.”

As she spoke, Xiatia casually rubbed against the little Thunderbird beneath her. After staying here for a while, Xiatia's affection for the little Thunderbird had greatly increased. She felt that if this continued, she might even learn a set of Thunderbird language skills.

However, after complaining, Xiatia straightforwardly asked, “Speak, what task do you need me to do?”

“Don't worry. If this operation is a complete success, I'll have Qiqi make you Mao Xue Wang for ten consecutive days, enough for you to eat your fill.”

Anduin knew Xiatia's difficulties and specially comforted her before continuing to explain, “The next few days are crucial. I need you to keep a close eye on the residential area and carefully take stock of the living situation of all the wizards.”

“Be detailed enough to know how many dormitories there are, how many people live in each building, and be accurate. After all, what Hogg can see from the surveillance cameras is limited, and the numbers might be off.”

“At the same time, it would be best to find out the internal layout of those standard houses, including how many floors, how many rooms, etc. I've noticed that the standard dormitory demonstrations are basically uniform, so surveying one household is enough.”

“Find out the internal situation of those dormitories? That's not a problem. I can remotely control a surveillance spider to go deep inside, and then have Hogg record it on the other side.”

Xiatia was quite familiar with Hogg now, so she boldly guaranteed it, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was not right.

So she asked with some uncertainty, “Sir, from what you're saying, are you planning to catch all these wizards in one fell swoop? That's more than two hundred people. Is it really okay to do that? I don't want to become an international wanted criminal as soon as I go out. →”

Anduin heard what Xiatia was worried about. He didn't expect this guy to be able to think so deeply.

“Don't worry, I've already arranged everything that follows.” Anduin grinned coldly. “This operation will not only keep you out of trouble, but if you want, I can also make you a great hero.”

“A great hero? Are you sure?” Xiatia was a little confused when she heard this. We are discussing kidnapping hundreds of people at once, how come it sounds so glorious in your mouth?

“Don't worry, the first one to suffer if there's trouble is me. How could I joke with you about this kind of thing?” Anduin comforted her softly, but didn't reveal any more details.

“Okay, I understand.” Xiatia now understands that with Anduin's cunning, he would definitely not trick her. Let the adults think about this kind of troublesome thing.

“Okay, then the call is over. Complete the task as soon as possible. The faster your progress, the sooner I can take action. And I've already said hello to 'Sol'. When I start the operation, I'll have him notify you.” Anduin finally carefully instructed.

“Sol? Are you talking about this little Thunderbird?” Xiatia looked dumbfounded at this time. “No, what's going on? When did you two get in touch? And you even gave it a name? Are you kidding me?”

However, Anduin didn't have time to continue talking nonsense with her at this time, and directly hung up the communication.

“Hello! Hello?” Xiatia shouted loudly and found that there was no sound. She immediately got up in anger, raised her little wings and knocked on the little Thunderbird's head, which was Sol's.

“You guy are too ungrateful. You contacted the adults secretly without telling me, and you even let them casually give you a name. And you two haven't even met yet, and you trust him so much? Who knew each other first? You're simply a scumbag who abandons his partner.”

Thinking of this, Xiatia became even more angry, and flapped her little wings and slammed them **** Sol's head.

The little Thunderbird Sol was dazed at this time, completely not knowing what Xiatia was doing, and thought that this little bat was full and wanted to play with him again. Then he happily rolled around on the ground with Xiatia, and as a result, this sudden blow almost made Xiatia spit out her lunch.

On the other side, after Anduin explained to Xiatia, he openly explored the spire. Of course, his counter-reconnaissance methods were not comparable to those of a counterfeit like Aselia. He would eliminate all traces, including footprints and smells.

The first floor of the spire was similar to what he saw from Clement's perspective. It was basically some by-products produced by magical animals. Although they were valuable, Anduin would not be impatient to search them now.

What Anduin cared about more was the gate of the spire. Since no alarm magic could be set up inside the spire, the gate actually used a physical alarm method.

The gate alone was equipped with 6 locks, and these locks were all magical anti-theft locks engraved with 'anti-unlocking spells'. And very simple anti-theft devices were installed inside, such as metal cables to prevent forced entry, bells specially used for warning, and so on.

But what Anduin found funny was that these things were all to prevent people from outside from entering, so they were completely undefended against the people on the opposite side. However, it was not easy to disguise and restore the dismantling of these hardcore anti-theft measures, so he did not plan to take this opportunity to enter the park for a stroll.

After checking the first floor, Anduin went to the second floor where the main body of the magic circle was set up, and then squatted down and carefully studied the structure of the magic circle.

This research kept him busy for more than two hours. Anduin estimated that the time was approaching evening. Because he was worried that Clement would return in the evening, he left the park the way he came after removing all traces of his stay.

And it was already late at night when Hogg, who was at the residence, saw Anduin again.

“Sir, how is the situation? Is everything going smoothly?” Hogg asked, looking at Anduin who was relaxed.

“Basically everything is clear. I also tested the working principle of that magic circle in the other two parks. The situation is very ideal. The cracking work can be put to an end. Next, we have to step up our preparations.”

After Anduin finished speaking, he told Hogg to pay attention to the surveillance images sent back by Xiatia these two days, and all information must be collected in place.

Then he sent a letter to Newt, explaining all the lists of materials that he thought needed to be prepared after the estimate, as well as the number of people needed, and told the other party to prepare them as much as possible within a week.

After completing all this, Anduin locked himself in the alchemy laboratory again. He was now like Party B who had received a notice and had to complete the construction period in a short period of time. He had to transform himself into a ruthless production machine.

Therefore, in the next few days, Anduin basically stayed in the hotel room, but even so, the actions of the other parties were still grasped by Hogg, who was responsible for collecting information.

Clement basically continued the three-point-one-line life of magic supply store, black market, and Zone One. Anyway, according to Hogg, this old man slept less than 6 hours a day, and was either performing official duties or on the way to performing official duties.

And Clement had also recently received the 3,000 galleon deposit transferred to him by the Golden Snitch, but judging from his situation, it would still take some time to raise the remaining 2,000 galleons, so Anduin didn't see him coming to him.

As for Pete, through contact with Andre, Anduin learned that this guy was still dealing with those troublemaking merchants, but this Minister Pete's methods were indeed superb, and he had used various ways of combining and connecting to solve the current troubles.

As for the Silver Spear headquarters, through the self-talk of the Ashwinder in the reception room, Anduin learned that he had conducted promotion assessments for the other two Silver Spear Lances in the past two days. Of course, this time it went very smoothly. It was basically just a formality. As long as they reached the minimum standard, the Ashwinder would let them pass.

However, this also made the Ashwinder mutter to himself for a long time, obviously he was also very unhappy with this kind of transgression.

At the same time, the Golden Snitch also visited the Silver Spear headquarters again and took a large sum of money from the warehouse. Anduin speculated that this should be the same sum as Clement's.

And when the Golden Snitch appeared this time, Minister Pete on the other side was also staying in the Ministry of Magic and did not show any abnormal behavior. This time, Anduin even learned through Andre that the other party was holding a meeting with the wizards of the Wizengamot at that time, and Andre himself was also at the scene.

This confirmed that Pete and the Golden Snitch could indeed appear in two places at the same time, and this discovery made Anduin even more afraid to act rashly.

He had a hunch that if he couldn't figure out this guy's secret, he would definitely suffer if he rashly confronted him. Now he only hoped that after destroying these breeding parks, he could disrupt the other party's formation and let him reveal his flaws.

On the other side, Xiatia completed the task quite smoothly. It only took three days to count all the personnel dormitory information, and also controlled the surveillance spider to explore two staff dormitories. Anduin guessed correctly, these dormitories in the residential area were indeed standardized, and the layout of each building was exactly the same.

Six days after Anduin sneaked into the breeding park, he dressed neatly on this night, and rarely left Duden House with a suitcase in hand.

When Anduin reappeared, he had already arrived in an uninhabited forest in western Germany, and after he arrived at his destination, he stood quietly on the spot, as if waiting for something.

Just as Anduin waited patiently for nearly an hour, the space not far in front of him suddenly flickered.

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man also carrying a suitcase appeared in the open space.
