"Is that woman the 'Alyssa' they just mentioned?"
Although it only took the two or three seconds when the door opened and closed when the two people entered the room, Brooks could still roughly see the figure in the room - it was a pretty good-looking woman with a very friendly appearance. She was Fu Yi The type of person who can naturally give people a certain degree of favorable impression upon meeting him face to face.
Why on earth would such a friendly-looking woman appear here now? Moreover, from the previous conversation between the two people, it sounded like she was actively doing something that was probably not a good thing for the owner of this room. At least Brooks is quite curious about this.
Maybe we can find out the reason why Tia came here
It's a pity that it's obviously not convenient for them to go in and take a second look now, so they can only stay in the corridor outside for the time being and wait for the conversation between the three people in the room... or in other words, the negotiation is over.
"Hey, can you hear what's being said inside?" Brooks thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked softly to the Shitabe boy beside him.
However, the boy did not answer his question. Instead, after a moment of silence, he glanced at Brooks and said:
"That female human is a wizard."
"ah?"
After entering this monastery, the Shitabe boy had clearly told him that all the humans living here seemed to be ordinary people, what American wizards called "No-Majs." In fact, it was precisely because of this that although the two of them never dared to use magic spells easily, they managed to hide here for many days without being discovered by the residents here.
However, under such a premise, it became quite abrupt when another witch suddenly appeared.
"If she is actually the 'Dean', then we will be much more relaxed next time." Brooks couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "But it is obvious that she is not... Could it be that she is from the Magic Congress of the United States of America? "
Although he still doesn't know that the situation here has been classified as a case in Congress, but now that he has discovered that there are obvious anomalies in this monastery, as a child of the Stewart family, Brooks still has considerable feelings towards MACUSA. Confident - even he has found this place all the way. Counting the time he and Tia spent skipping school, his family and the Auror office should have responded.
"If she really is an Auror—"
Originally, Brooks regarded his pursuit of Tia all the way here as a part-time excursion between No-Maj cities to find people. But now, since everyone has realized the danger here through the Shitabe boy next to him, Brooks, who is still quite cautious and honest by nature, no longer dares to act too impulsively.
It was only his worry about Tia that made him never stop moving forward.
However, while Brooks was hesitating, he suddenly heard a gentle but unexpectedly stern warning from the Shitabe boy next to him.
"You reek of hoping for luck," he said calmly, "I advise you, it is best not to gamble with fate with nothing, unless you are ready to use your life as a bet."
"Uh," Brooks was startled when he heard this, then nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you, I understand."
"Um."
The Shitabe boy also nodded his head, and then suddenly reached out and tugged on Brooks's clothes, gesturing towards the corner from which he came.
It seemed that he probably realized that the three people in the room had finished talking. Maybe they could go over there and wait for the three people to come out, and then secretly follow them.
"Hopefully they'll go the other way," Brooks prayed in his mind as he followed the boy.
…
It turns out that the Shitabe boy's choice was not wrong. The three people in the room had no intention of going back after leaving the room, but chose the other end of the corridor as expected. Brooks originally wanted to ask him why he guessed so accurately, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by the other party's hand.
Now that they knew that there was a wizard among the three people walking in front, they naturally couldn't be too careful. Even the Shtabe people, who have great individual abilities, have never dared to look down on the wizard.
The Shitabe boy leading Brooks slowed down a lot, putting a longer distance between them. Because he knew that the witch seemed to have agreed to the two people's request to take her to see the dean. Next, he and Brooks would probably face more wizards than this one.
Probably because the Shitabe boy's mood was rare and tense, Brooks was immediately affected by it, and his steps gradually became a little stiff. Forced by the rising tension, he subconsciously reached for his wand in his pocket.
But before his palm could touch the handle of the stick, the Shtabe boy, who seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, grabbed his wrist with his backhand.
The next moment, Brooks saw the other party looking back slightly and shaking his head at himself - the Shtabe tribe does not use a wand to perform magic, but for the role of the small stick in each wizard's hand, as someone who has fought with wizards But they may know it better than today's generation of wizards.
If there are excessive emotional fluctuations when holding the wand, at least the Shitabe tribe can "taste" some clues. Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is best for Brooks not to touch his wand before the actual battle occurs.
To be honest, he was actually quite wary of the strength of the "master" here - he had already said it on the day he came here, it smelled very dangerous!
Of course, although Brooks didn't quite know why the other party stopped him from taking out the wand, just as he had shown trust in the Shitabe boy again and again along the way, he still had reasons to trust the other party this time.
Brooks did not say a word, but silently removed his hand from his pocket, and then continued to follow the Shitabe boy who was bowing forward again.
I don’t know how long it took, but Brooks thought it must have been five or six minutes! The Shtabe boy walking in front of him suddenly stopped again and waved his hand to indicate that he should stay squatting and close to the wall.
Then, Brooks finally heard the other party speak for the first time since following the three people, and muttered briefly:
"It turns out... the entrance is hidden here."
