Chapter 1116 The Battle in Knockturn Alley

? When people talk about someone being good, they usually don't mean guys like Dumbledore or Maca.

Because when a person suddenly praises another person, it is inevitable that he has already compared himself in his heart first, and feels that he is not as good as he is, so he can give a compliment.

And wizards like those who are outstanding in the global magic world are basically difficult for people to compare with themselves.

Or the other way around:

When you find that you can't be jealous of a certain person, then that person is either worse than you, or must be far beyond the limit you can expect of yourself.

Therefore, when Maca came into people's sight along with Voldemort, Grinwald, and even Haierbo today, his road to rise not only did not arouse too much doubt and hatred, but also It has gained a lot of popularity among the younger generation of wizards.

However, other people who also have talents and abilities may not be able to "accumulate in a low-key manner and explode at the right time" like him.

For example, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the current Head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic and an outstanding wizard who is one of the main forces of the Order of the Phoenix.

To be honest, although he looks more mature and prudent, he is actually much younger than Sirius and others. But his magical talent and commanding ability are better than most other wizards.

It's just that his "excellence" is not so unmatched by people that his life is not as smooth as people see it.

In fact, as far as the position of head of the Auror office is concerned, there are still quite a few people watching from the sidelines!

Fortunately, Kingsley is not only outstanding in his personal ability, but also has a really good eye for people. Not to mention those struggles on the surface, at least in the dark, he first joined the Order of the Phoenix and followed Dumbledore, and now he is walking steadily by Maca's side.

There is no doubt that this is a smart man.

However, Pansy just doesn't like "smart people" like Kingsley.

As mentioned before, her brother Perces failed to compete with his opponent because he followed the wrong person in the workplace. Although it was not Kingsley who competed with him for the position at that time, among those who rose up instead of down during the period of frequent power changes, he seemed to have benefited the most, except for Scrimgeour.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Pansy didn't want to see him, he still had to do what Maca said.

After she got out of the elevator, she walked through a corridor and turned a corner, and soon saw two open oak doors. And inside those two doors, a large messy and noisy open office area immediately entered her eyes.

In the sky between those small office cubicles, enchanted paper airplanes circled back and forth, each flying from one cubicle to another, delivering various documents and messages.

This is the Auror office.

To be honest, Pansy's father had never brought her here before. So when she saw the scene in front of her, there was only one word left in her mind - chaos!

But she didn't know that it wasn't such a mess on the first day.

"Well, who are you? Is there something wrong here?"

Suddenly, a witch whose eyes were covered by a blindfold popped out of her cubicle, stared at Pansy and asked a question.

Although the one-eyed appearance of the other party was somewhat scary, but just speaking, his tone and expression were surprisingly gentle.

After being questioned by the female Auror wearing a blindfold, Pan Xi hurriedly replied:

"I'm here to see Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt, is he there?"

"Are you looking for Kingsley?" The female Auror immediately turned around and pointed to the innermost door in the office area, "He hasn't come back yet, if you have any urgent matters, I will I suggest that you can consult anyone here...except me, of course."

"Oh, uh..." Pansy hesitated immediately, "I'm not in a hurry, I just came back from the American magic world, and I want to tell him something about it."

"I see." The female Auror glanced at the badge on her chest, then waved and said as she walked, "Then go to his office and wait for him! It's time for lunch in a while, I think He'll be back soon."

...

Will Kingsley go back early to prepare lunch, as his female colleague said?

Ok! Originally, he really wanted to return to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. After all, although the search and arrest operation seemed to be very important on the surface, it was actually just creating momentum according to Maca's instructions.

Therefore, when it is time to eat, he will not be too busy to spare the time to fill his stomach.

It's a pity that he might not be able to eat today's lunch until later.

"It's really worthy of the talent that Haierbo recruited... Don't talk about ability, just a lot of courage. Is this going to catch me instead?"

In an abandoned house in Knockturn Alley, Kingsley held a wand and looked a little dignified. Because he found that he seemed to be temporarily trapped here by the anti-apparition spell.

Previously, Kingsley had found that Martin in an alley in Knockturn Alley. According to Maca's intentions, even though he didn't have to really grab Martin when he met Martin, he couldn't just turn a blind eye.

Kingsley knew that he should at least put more pressure on the fleeing Martin through constant pursuit.

However, he didn't know whether it was because he put too much pressure on the other party, or because the other party had a strong tolerance, but suddenly he found that Martin turned his attention to him.

Therefore, Kingsley, who hadn't expected this at first, fell into the opponent's trick after all.

This is a house that has been abandoned for a long time. Perhaps its former owner has no heirs, so that the property has gradually become ownerless.

If I have to say, there are actually many legacy assets like this.

Because almost every year, one or two once glorious families suddenly come to an end. After there is no one to inherit, those inheritances are either accidentally discovered and collected by scavengers, or they are completely abandoned like this house. In some inconspicuous places.

Kingsley originally thought that Martin had hid in this house, because he had seen Martin enter this house through the window under his unhurried pursuit.

But after he observed outside for a while and found that the other party hadn't come out from inside, he also wanted to go in to see the specific situation.

But he never expected that Martin would directly set an anti-apparition spell and several other protective spells in this house, instead trapping him here.

When Kingsley frowned slightly and was about to break through with a few powerful shattering spells, a voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the room.

"Master Shaker, hello!"

It was undoubtedly Martin's voice—even though he changed his voice slightly with great restraint, it was of course impossible to deceive Kingsley, who had been running with him for a long time.

"Hello," Kingsley said, "what, are you planning to attack the Aurors?"

"how come……"

Martin, who was in hiding, couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the words.

"I don't want to attack you, you see! Do I have any spells that can hurt anyone... No, I don't," he said. "I just want to trade you to the Ministry for someone else."

"Oh?"

Kingsley held the wand in his hand tightly and stood motionless on the spot, his eyes constantly patrolling the corner where the sound came from.

"I have to say, this is actually a bad idea. Don't even think about using me to exchange hostages, it's impossible—how many people do you think will care about my life?"

"Hmph," Martin snorted coldly, "at least McClain is one, and in my opinion, that's enough."

"Are you sure?" Kingsley listened, and then smiled lightly, "I didn't say... I asked you, how much do you know about Maca?"

"I know, at least more than you think."

Seeing that Martin seemed to be very confident in his judgment, Kingsley couldn't help shaking his head secretly. From the looks of it, words alone cannot convince this guy.

After a short pause, Kingsley simply raised his hand and stretched out his wand.

"Since you are so confident, then I don't seem to need to say anything more..." He pointed the tip of his stick to the corner of the room, and finally said, "Then let me see if you have taken my This strength!"

Before he finished speaking, a red light burst out silently from the tip of his staff, forming a shock wave in an instant and going straight to the corner of the wall.

"Boom!"

When a burst of sawdust splashed, Kingsley didn't stop on his feet, and ran forward with a slight sideways movement.

Judging from his years of fighting against dark wizards, if Martin is not in that corner, he is probably on the opposite side.

Therefore, when facing the enemy, you must not only pay attention to the front, but also pay attention to your back.

Sure enough, the moment he left the spot, the floor he was standing on suddenly exploded.

Kingsley, who kept moving, didn't look back, because he could tell just by hearing the sound that it must be a powerful exploding spell.

The next moment, Kingsley swung his wand back and cast an Iron Armor Curse when two consecutive Disarming Curses were about to come.

For a moment, scattered particles of magic light spread across most of the room.

"Tsk—"

Martin is very unhappy now - obviously he has been with Haierbo for so long, but he can still only be an ordinary wizard in terms of magical power that he cares most about.

Even his own magical talent is not bad, but in his opinion, it is still a bit of a child's play.

He wants to learn those "real magics"!
