Chapter 155 Rescue
They followed the little wizard through the garden path to the kitchen door of the mansion.
In the large stone-paved kitchen there was only one very dim lamp. But there is no necessary furniture for daily needs in the kitchen.
The thin wizard walked in front of them, and the wand in his hand glowed faintly for light.
He was a very thin man, stooped, but still agile. From time to time he turned and gestured to warn them to be quiet and cautious.
The other two wizards followed closely behind. They supported Ian's armpit and almost lifted the boy up completely.
Ian's heart was beating extremely hard. The environment here is so dark, so remote, so disturbing.
This place looks perfect for the most insidious and despicable activities. Even a man much older than Ian would feel trepidation walking up this spiral staircase.
When they reached the top of the stairs, the skinny wizard opened a door, allowing the two wizards behind to carry Ian into a small room.
There was no light in the room, only a roaring fire burning in the fireplace, which made the small room both brighter and warmer.
Beside the fireplace, sitting a graceful witch, is enjoying herself and smoking a lady's cigarette.
On the table, perched high at her elbow, was a glass of bubbling drink, which filled the room with its pleasant aroma.
"Where is the dragon egg?" An extremely lazy voice sounded, but extremely magnetic.
Ian still pretended to be unconscious.
"Ma'am, he is still unconscious." The skinny wizard said carefully.
"Idiot, he doesn't know how long he has been awake!" The witch saw through Ian's trick.
"Where is the dragon's egg?" the witch asked again, impatiently.
Ian is really baffled, what dragon egg?
"Give him Veritaserum." The witch pointed to the drink cup next to her, and immediately, the bubbly and fragrant drink disappeared. Instead, it was a small glass straw with only a few drops of medicine in it.
Veritaserum is a magic potion that makes people confess the truth. As long as you drink three drops, you will reveal the secrets deep in your heart.
If the person who needs to take the medicine drinks it without the slightest precaution, he will not have enough resistance to the medicine.
Just when the skinny wizard tried his best to interrogate Ian, Allen and the others were pleasantly surprised to see Ian's curled-winged demon.
The Winged Demon circled around the two of them a few times before flying out of the window.
"Jessica, send a letter to Mr. Leonard and the professor. I'll check the situation. When I arrive, I'll ask the Winged Demon to come back and show the professor their way." After thinking about it, Allen added, " You must not come here by yourself, we can rely on you for comfort."
Jessica, who knew the seriousness, had tears in her eyes, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Regardless of the cold weather, Allen rode on the broomstick, followed the Winged Demon closely, and flew quickly.
When he came to the garden, Alan saw the big box that was very obvious even in the dark.
The Winged Demon swayed twice at the place where Ian fell, and Allen understood what he meant.
Carefully observing the traces of the garden, Allen found footprints on the remnant snow and judged where the footprints were going.
Allen tried to communicate with the Winged Demon, hoping that it could go back and bring Professor Flitwick and Mr. Leonard here.
Although he has the ability to communicate with animals, Alan repeated it several times before the Winged Demon understood the meaning and flew away with Alan's instructions.
Allen hid his figure and walked towards the kitchen. He walked through the desolate kitchen, stepped up the spiral staircase, and walked to the door of the small room. He clearly heard a spell - "Legiliency"!
Even with Ian taking Veritaserum, Mystery Witch didn't get the results she wanted. Because Ian doesn't even know where the dragon eggs are! No matter what the mysterious witch asks,
All he answered was that he didn't know.
This made the witch almost think that the veritaserum had failed.
Out of embarrassment and anger, she actually found a Pensieve, and wanted to perform Legilimency on Ian.
After checking Ian's memory several times, the mysterious witch was furious, "You must have kidnapped the wrong person! The other boy named Alan is the one who bought the dragon eggs! Go and get him! Go!"
The two wizards looked frustrated, not daring to disobey the witch's order, and walked out in desperation.
Allen glanced at Ian who was lying on the ground, and decided to deal with the two wizards who had just left first. Lest they find Leonard's house and hurt Jessica.
Allen followed the two of them silently, walked into the garden, and after making sure that the people in the building would not hear, Allen quickly "petrified everything" and dealt with the tall wizard who had no defense at all, and then With a hand knife, he stunned another wizard, and then added a "all petrification".
Breaking off the wands of the two, he dragged the two to a very hidden place and hid them. After hesitating, Alan broke the hands of the two of them again, and then Alan quickly returned to the small room just now.
Fortunately, the witch just let Ian fall to the ground, and did not cast a curse on him to torture him, let alone choose to kill him directly.
Allen quickly thought about the countermeasures, how to successfully rescue Ian without alarming the witch?
After looking at Ian, who was unknown on the ground, Allen stepped forward and carefully checked Ian's physical condition. Allen couldn't make any suspicious sounds, he tiptoed to Ian's side, checked carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ian's life was not in danger, but he was hit by the Stunning Curse, took Veritaserum, and took several times of Insomnia. Not particularly serious, irreparable harm.
Therefore, Allen decided to delay for a while until Professor Flitwick and Mr. Leonard came.
"Why haven't you come back yet? These two idiots have been caught, right?" The witch, who was starting to worry in her heart, waited impatiently. Ever since Henry was caught, she always had a sense of urgency, wanting to complete the deal quickly, and then hide for a while.
Just when she was hesitating whether to go out in person, Professor Flitwick and Leonard descended from the sky, leading a large number of Aurors to surround the place.
After receiving Jessica's news, Professor Flitwick and Leonard immediately returned home with a group of Aurors, and followed the loyal Winged Demon.
Seeing this, the mysterious witch immediately wanted to wave her wand and leave here, but her speed was far behind that of Professor Flitwick.
The mysterious witch's wand flew out of her hand and flew into Professor Flitwick's hand in a whirl.
The witch's reaction was extremely quick, and she immediately thought of using Ian as a hostage so that she could escape.
But just as she pounced on Ian, she realized that Ian had already disappeared from the ground.
