Chapter 136 136. Yaxley and Carlo
After resting for 20 minutes, Scott landed on the ground on his flying broom. After putting away the broom, he began to chant a spell.
"Whisper."
First, he cast a whisper spell on himself, and then cast an illusion spell.
After he was ready, Scott began to walk forward.
The reason for doing this was that he had to guard against enemies ambushing in the eight-eyed spider's nest.
Although riding a broom to travel saves energy, it also has the disadvantage of not being able to hide the body.
Scott's figure blended into the surrounding environment, silently and slowly passing through the dark forest.
Because there was no light, he could only grope his way by moonlight.
Fortunately, since the eight-eyed spider's nest was nearby, this forest was very quiet, and almost no other creatures lived here.
Although it was nearby, it was actually quite far away.
Scott walked for more than 20 minutes before he finally sensed the fluctuation of magic.
It was eight-eyed spiders, and there were quite a few of them.
However, compared with the spiders fighting with him, only two of these spiders had stronger magic fluctuations, and the rest of the spiders had much weaker magic fluctuations.
It seems that there should be two big spiders and some young spiders left behind.
It seems that the spiders' nest is over there.
Scott did not move forward rashly, but reached out and took out a black bat wooden sculpture from the deformed lizard skin bag on his waist.
Touching the ancient magic words engraved on the back of the wooden sculpture, Scott silently waved the magic wand and chanted the spell softly.
The magic wand touched the wooden sculpture, and the bat immediately came to life.
Scott raised his hand and sent it, and the eavesdropping bat immediately flapped its wings and flew out.
Not long after, Scott heard a clicking sound in his ears, which was the unique sound of the eight-eyed spider's claws colliding.
After that, he heard a sucking sound, and he guessed that it was the young spiders eating.
The bat flew around the spider's nest, and Scott did not hear any movement other than the spider.
He then ordered the bats to leave the nest and fly in circles in the surrounding forest, circle after circle, and continue to expand.
Not long after, Scott smiled.
He heard someone talking in his ears, just behind the spider nest.
"If you ask me, the boy hasn't come yet. Could he be eaten by the group of eight-eyed spiders?"
This is the voice of a strange man.
"Isn't that better? We don't have to do anything."
The voice sounded familiar, and Scott immediately made a judgment.
It was Elijah Carrow, the Slytherin who liked to smile with a crooked mouth, and Caitlin Rowe's cousin.
At this time, the strange male voice complained, "I really don't understand why I came here to do this!"
"Heh..."
Carrow's laughter successfully made Scott's mind appear with his crooked mouth.
"This is an action led by your Yaxley family." Carrow said dissatisfiedly.
"Of course." The male voice said, "But what I mean is that I need to take action myself to deal with a mudblood student."
Yaxley family?
Scott recalled the information he had asked Eddie to investigate before.
The Yaxley family, one of the so-called sacred 28 families, seems to have had several marriages with the Travers family in history.
Carlo continued: "Don't complain, I'm still taking risks. You know, I offended Professor Snape, and he has been keeping a close eye on me recently."
Yaxley asked: "Offended Snape? Just because you taught that mudblood a lesson?"
"No." Carlo said depressedly, "It was because of our behavior that he had to deduct points from Slytherin House."
"It really deserves it."
Yaxley's voice sounded a little gloating, "I heard that the four of you together actually lost to that mudblood?"
"Don't underestimate him!" Carlo reminded, "Although he is a mudblood, his Transfiguration is incredibly strong."
"Transfiguration?"
Yaxley sneered.
"I don't think a student's Transfiguration can play any role in a battle."
"You'll know when you see it." Carlo said, "But it's possible that you won't see it."
There was even this regret in his tone.
Yaxley was very unconvinced, "Why play those fancy tricks when a killing curse can solve the enemy?"
Scott finally started to act after hearing this.
He turned around and changed direction, preparing to bypass the spider's nest.
In his ears, the conversation between the two continued.
At this time, Carlo said more information, "To be honest, I didn't expect that your Yaxley family would be willing to let that person take action, and it was Professor Flitwick. You are not afraid of offending him."
"Humph, so what." Yaxley said with some pride, "That's just Flitwick, not Dumbledore, and he won't know who it is."
Hearing this, Scott narrowed his eyes.
It seems that the other party is very confident in the wizard who is responsible for dealing with Professor Flitwick?
"I didn't expect Travers to agree to your proposal."
Scott heard Carlo say something sarcastic again.
"As long as you kill the murderer who killed his daughter, the Travers family's industry and manor will be handed over to you for temporary management."
Yaxley laughed twice again, "My cousin is in Azkaban now. As a relative, we should help him maintain his property. This is also proof of the friendship between the Yaxley family and the Travers family."
"As far as I know, that mudblood is not a murderer." Carlo said in a mocking tone, "You are too perfunctory in helping your relatives."
Yaxley retorted, "Jasmine's death was an accident. There was no real murderer at all, but that mudblood was the main cause of her death."
"I hope Travers will be satisfied." Carlo said sarcastically.
"I say, kid..." Yaxley's voice sounded a little angry, "Are you too bold in front of me?"
Then, Scott heard a "pop".
Yaxley said in an imperative tone: "Don't smile at me like that!"
"You!"
Carlo's voice was extremely shocked, as if he didn't understand why the other party's attitude suddenly changed.
"I am your elder, Elijah!" Yaxley said coldly, "Don't think that you can be presumptuous just because I am kind to you."
"I am just your collaborator, not your subordinate!" Carlo said angrily.
"You are not the heir of the Carlo family, Elijah."
Yaxley smiled contemptuously.
"Neither your uncle Amycus nor your aunt Alecto will make enemies with me for you."
"I am the planner of this action!" Carlo said unconvinced, "I have been favored by that adult!"
Tsk.
Sure enough, Medea secretly extended far more than one tentacles.
Scott thought.
It seems that Carlo is also a tool of Medea.
"You are just a tool of that person, Elijah."
Yaxley also said so.
"As for the cooperation with that person, it should be left to us adults to do, you only need to be responsible for passing the message."
It is agreed that there will be five chapters today, and there are still two chapters to be owed.
(_) I seem to have overestimated myself...
Sorry, those two chapters should be in the early morning, please read them tomorrow.
