#526 - Gathering (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

"You mean there's a Floo Network connection to the outside world here?" Nathan's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated. "But you also know that although the defenses here don't seem very tight, the surroundings are actually full of those invisible Silver Spear Guns. Even if we prove there's a fireplace, how can we guarantee we can safely reach it?"

Their understanding of alchemy and the Floo Network is actually very superficial. They think that as long as there is a fireplace connected to the Floo Network, they can move to any place. They don't realize that this kind of alchemical device can actually be modified. →Google Search Reading

There is indeed a fireplace in the warehouse stronghold, but the only place it can move to is a safe house. In addition to being a transfer station connecting to the outside world, it is also a base for Moody and others to rest. They also take turns in two shifts to patrol the warehouse. If they really drill into that fireplace, they will only plunge into their encirclement.

But at this time, Bob didn't know this at all, and instead regarded it as an escape route.

So Bob's eyes were filled with excitement, and he continued to encourage Nathan, "I also know that the defense here seems loose but is actually tight, so I didn't expect to be able to escape successfully in the short term, but this is an opportunity, isn't it? What we have to do now is observe!"

"Observe? You mean..." Nathan seemed to understand Bob's meaning.

"That's right, even if those Silver Spear Guns are brutal, they are still people, and there will definitely be times when they reveal flaws. As long as we seize the loopholes, we may have a chance to escape!"

"I understand what you mean." Nathan nodded almost imperceptibly. "That is to say, we must first lie dormant quietly, pretend to be obedient, and then act when their defenses are relaxed?"

"Exactly!" Bob became more and more excited, but still tried his best to restrain himself and lower his voice. "In addition to seizing the opportunity, we also have to do some preparations in advance!"

"Preparations? Do you mean trying to get a wand?"

"No, it's too difficult and risky to get a wand." Bob shook his head calmly. "What I mean is, take this time to hone your wandless casting skills. Do you understand the essentials of wandless casting?"

"Essentials? I did learn these theoretical things in magic school before, but I have never tried it myself. Wandless casting is too difficult. It's not like you can do it just by knowing the principle." Nathan frowned and replied.

"Even if you don't have experience, you have to try it! Otherwise, we won't be able to break through these iron chains in front of us. My wandless casting level is not very good either, so I decided to practice it secretly during this time. If you want to regain your freedom, don't give up this opportunity!"

Bob's eyes were full of determination, and this determination affected Nathan.

"Okay! Anyway, there's not much hope, so I'll give it a shot!" Nathan gritted his teeth as if he was determined. In fact, trying unfamiliar casting techniques at will is very risky, and accidents can happen at any time, but now they have been forced to a dead end, and Nathan doesn't want to become those captive magical creatures to be slaughtered.

"That's how it should be." Bob nodded encouragingly. "But you must be careful. Those patrol team members are in cahoots with the Silver Spears. In addition to guarding against those Silver Spear Guns, you also have to pay attention to them."

"I understand, you also have to be careful. By the way, in addition to the two of us, should we summon the others? After all, there is strength in numbers!" Nathan, as a kind-hearted person, thought of his other companions, especially that rash Jimmy.

"This... I'm afraid it's not very appropriate." Bob hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused. "The more people who know, the more our risk of escape will increase."

"What about the others who are still imprisoned? We can't just leave them behind." Nathan and the others hadn't escaped successfully at this time, but they were already thinking about what to do after they escaped.

"Are you stupid? These Silver Spears will suddenly capture people from the breeding area because they must have been wanted by the Ministry of Magic. We should contact the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic as soon as we escape and let them come to rescue people." Bob was speechless when he saw that Nathan was so clueless.

"That's right!" Nathan also felt that he was being stupid, and he didn't understand such a simple principle.

Then the two exchanged a few simple words, and then dispersed. They didn't dare to stay together for too long, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the guards.

But what these two people didn't know was that not long after they got together, the Silver Spear Gun who appeared at the beginning came to the two people's cell and heard their conversation clearly.

And this Silver Spear Gun who showed ferociousness was naturally Moody.

Because Anduin was afraid that other Aurors would be exposed, he specifically told them to speak as little as possible. Since this was the case, Moody simply told them not to speak at all. Usually, he would always be invisible, and he didn't even need to appear in front of everyone except when performing individual tasks.

As for the matter of communicating with these 'prisoners', it was basically all left to Moody. To be honest, this greatly tested his acting skills.

But it was as if playing the role of a Silver Spear Gun had opened some special switch in his body. He found that he got into the role very quickly and became more and more addicted to it.

When mocking and torturing these people, there was almost no trace of falsehood.

It was also because of his vivid and penetrating performance that he planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of so many people, and he also established the impression of the Silver Spear Gun as evil and brutal.

And Moody himself was very satisfied with his previous performance, so much so that he wanted to really set up an evil organization to play with after retirement.

As for Bob, Moody had actually been paying attention to this guy from the beginning. He sincerely liked this kind of brave and fearless person, so after becoming invisible, he had been keeping an eye on him.

Who would have thought that this guy would be so bold? He had just been taught a lesson, and now he was discussing escape with others.

However, after discovering this, Moody did not immediately expose it. After all, he was not a real Silver Spear Gun, and there might be room for manipulation in the conspiracy of these two people.

Of course, Moody had to meet with Anduin again to discuss this before he could make a decision.

And the time for the two to meet again came quickly. It was on the 4th day after Moody cleaned up these prisoners, that is, 1 day after Anduin and the others cleaned up the breeding area.

Anduin, Moody, and Andrei gathered together at the safe house. This was what they had agreed upon before, to gather every few days to exchange information on all aspects.

"You're here, Anduin, come and sit down!" Andrei, who arrived first, greeted Anduin warmly towards the small reception room in the safe house after seeing him appear from the fireplace.

Andrei's attitude towards Anduin now can be said to be unquestioning, or it can be said to be trusting, so he behaved very enthusiastically.

After all, in the previous 'Concentric Circles' operation, Anduin personally taught Andrei what true professionalism was. The kind of plan that was all-encompassing and meticulous was simply amazing.

You must know that in the few days of acting together before, the most work he did was actually attending meetings, rushing on the road, and moving things. The time he actually drew out his wand to fight added up to less than an hour.

So Anduin is now a symbol of reliability in his eyes. Andrei will definitely support the plans he has deployed without hesitation.

"You're welcome, Director Andrei." After resting well for a day, Anduin's mental state also recovered. After sitting down with Andrei, he glanced left and right, and then asked, "Where's Moody? Isn't he here yet?"

"He's still watching in the 'prison'. It's very convenient for Moody to come over. The fireplace there leads directly here. He said that after you arrive, notify him and he will arrive immediately." After saying that, Andrei took out his communicator and sent a message to Moody.

Sure enough, the two didn't wait long before Moody, still wearing the Silver Spear Gun uniform, walked in limping. In order to conceal his limp before, he had never acted in front of those prisoners. He basically appeared directly to speak, and then immediately became invisible after finishing.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Flobberworm? You suddenly not wearing a mask really makes me a little unaccustomed." Moody joked to Andrei as soon as he entered the house. This was their favorite joke recently.

After hearing Moody's words, Andrei rolled his eyes angrily. "I think you've gone crazy playing the role of a Silver Spear Gun, Lord Turber Warthog!"

"Haha." Moody smiled indifferently after hearing Andrei's sarcasm. "You don't say, pretending to be a Silver Spear Gun is really quite interesting. I've become a little addicted to it recently."

"Stop talking nonsense, shut up, you bunch of idiots, eat honestly, no arguing!" After saying that, Moody vividly demonstrated to the two on the spot.

Andrei looked at Moody's obsessed appearance and looked at Anduin speechlessly. "I think we should just kill this guy, lest he really run to the club to surrender one day."

"Just let him play for a few more days, I think Moody will have a sense of propriety." Anduin shook his head indifferently, and then looked at Moody seriously, "How is the situation in the stronghold? Are those wizards still honest?"

Seeing Anduin bring up the main topic, Moody also put away his playful thoughts and took off the mask on his face. "The situation of those guys is still stable, and because of the small episode that occurred at the beginning, they have now been divided into two factions internally."

"One faction is mainly composed of the former collaborators of those clubs. They are basically members of the patrol team in the park. These people are more well-behaved than others, and even try to please us in every way. I guess they hope to show their loyalty and let us release them."

"The other faction is the remaining civilian wizards and Muggles. They have a lot of complaints, and sometimes they have conflicts with the other faction, but there have been no accidents because we stopped them in time."
