Footsteps sounded, leather scraped against wood, making a creaking sound that echoed through the quiet corridors.
Through the dim light, Helen could clearly see the appearance of the visitor.
With smooth blond hair, sparkling blue eyes and a faint smile, the witch immediately recognized this handsome boy...
Rolf Scamander!
Helen narrowed her eyes. She thought about Aurors coming to arrest her, about Carlos bringing a group of sailors to block her, or at worst it would be some "enthusiastic" wizard... But she really didn't expect it would be him!
Under the flickering firelight, Helen's eyes flickered, and Rolf smiled and said, "You don't have to look for me, I'm the only one here."
Helen immediately relaxed, she was just a little wizard, and she could do one more thing to capture him before leaving.
Such a handsome young man, whether he is imprisoned and played with slowly, or sold to a rich woman, he can sell it for a price not lower than that of the mermaid.
But Helen still asked strangely: "Why are you here? Did Skander tell you anything?"
"No." Rolf shook his head and explained patiently: "Earlier, I used the Disillusionment Charm to follow Skander, quietly entered your room, and witnessed your transaction...the mermaid transaction."
"No way!" Helen screamed.
She installed a magic lock on the door, which not only has defensive capabilities, but can also detect invisible wizards, and is more effective than a looking glass.
If a wizard wearing an invisibility cloak or a disillusionment spell appeared around and entered the room, the magic would be triggered. She relied on that thing to capture many dark wizards.
Rolf smiled. He was wearing a modified version of Voldemort's "scarf", which could effectively block the detection of magic items.
No matter how strong you are, can you still be stronger than the Dark Lord's magic?
Helen suddenly raised her wand and shot out a red light. Rolf turned his head to one side, easily avoiding the stun spell.
Luofu glanced at the slightly dazzling hole in the wall in the distance, then looked at the horrified witch, and said with a smile, "You can't hit it from such a close range?"
The young man looked at the extremely embarrassed Mrs. Helen, walked forward slowly, and said pleasantly:
"I heard that the wand is faster from seven steps away, and the wand within seven steps... is fast and accurate!
Then if I come closer, you must not let me down. "
Scamander was just a kid, Helen reminded herself. He couldn't stay away forever. One hit... and the battle was over.
But no matter how Helen cast her magic, Rolf could always dodge and move nimbly, and her spell always missed his shoulders and arms.
Not long after, Helen was out of breath and almost exhausted from the torture. Sweat flowed down her cheeks and her eyes were blurred.
And every time the boy avoided the curse, he would deliberately shake his shoulders and taunt... Helen could not help but tremble all over, and her heart was filled with despair.
The happiest moment when hunting prey is not the moment of killing it, but the process of playing with it.
Just like a cat catching a mouse, it will not kill it so quickly, but will tease and torture it repeatedly.
Mrs. Helen felt like she was a prey now, and the boy was deliberately torturing and toying with herself!
Helen was distracted, and Rolf was already only one step away from her. He grabbed her arm, knocked her down, opened the wooden door, and returned to her own room.
Helen staggered and fell to the hard floor. Rolf grabbed her hair with one hand and pulled her head back, and reached for her throat with the other hand.
Helen's wand was knocked away, and she could only fight with bare hands like a Muggle, but her nails scratched the boy's body as if scraping.
Helen was shocked. She then noticed that Scamander's skin turned silver-gray, like dragon scales... What kind of magic is this? !
Mrs. Helen was choked until she could hardly breathe. She punched him one after another, but it was like hitting him on a thick wall.
The boy received many punches, seemingly unaware of it, but Helen's fists drew blood.
Helen suddenly raised her knees and pushed them hard to the lower part of Rove's abdomen, hoping to give him a fatal blow.
But it was as if she had kicked a rock, and it was harder than anything she had ever seen.
Katcha!
The bone is broken!
Helen's leg is broken!
"..."
Helen was completely desperate. She was about to faint from the pain and begged for mercy loudly:
"Let me go, and I can give you Galleons, Galleons you can't imagine!"
Luofu smiled and said: "Idiot, if I catch you, won't your Galleons belong to me?"
"..."
Helen cried and asked: "What grudge do you and I have?"
"The mermaid you sold to the mysterious circus, her name is Missanla." Luof grabbed Helen's hands, twisted them hard, and broke her arms cleanly.
"she is my friend."
Luofu stood up and patted the dust on his body. He looked at Helen, who was about to faint, and finally whispered:
"There are also abducted women and children...all deserve to die!"
…
…
The news that the mysterious circus owner was under control spread throughout the Mayflower the next morning.
Last night's performance was a success. Everyone was still looking forward to the mermaid. Unexpectedly, Skander was caught.
Originally, there were wizards who felt sorry for him, but when they heard that Skander had released the Kabulosaurus, and he also released a fire dragon, no one suddenly sympathized with him... but instead wished that he would die immediately!
Even though Carlos repeatedly assured everyone that this was only possible and that the details would require an Auror trial, the passengers didn't care.
Human nature is like this. If the matter has nothing to do with you, you can hang on high and say a few indifferent words, but if your own safety is involved, you will easily go to extremes.
People don't know if Skander is the murderer, but fear leads them to simply assume that he is the murderer, and there is danger... then eliminate the danger.
Anyway, no one wants to be in the same boat with him anymore!
Many wizards proposed that Skander be punished according to the laws of the high seas.
There are many types of punishments on ships, the most common of which is whipping. In addition, there are also "walking on the gangplank", "exile to a desert island", and "dragging the keel" which makes people change their temper.
The so-called keel dragging is to use a long rope to tie the hands of the erring sailor tightly and then throw them into the sea. Because the sailor fell into the sea too close to the hull of the ship, he will be "pressed" by the hull.
Of course, there was also a wizard who proposed using cannon and dog attacks on Skander. This was obviously a wizard from the north of a certain peninsula.
Carlos had a headache. He was worried that Skander would be killed by the angry passengers before he arrived in the United States.
As for the initiator, Luofu, he didn't care much about this matter, or in other words, he didn't have time to care. After all, all his energy was... drained by the mixed-blood Veela.
