In the final analysis, the major case in the United States more than ten years ago was a mess. It’s not for anything else, just because the things in the monastery are not exposed, but once the cover of the Magic Congress is lifted, many interested people will immediately find out that there is a lot involved.
And that night, John, as a member of the Stewart family accompanying the team... or to be more precise, an expatriate from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to assist the investigators, he happened to be one of the five fingers of the hand that went to lift the "lid". one.
Obviously, a finger generally does not need a mouth.
…
"Alert! There is movement ahead."
The leader of the Aurors suddenly raised his hand, causing all the team members to stop, holding the wand in their hands tightly and looking ahead with serious expressions.
In fact, not only the leading Auror, but when they reached this corner, everyone had already heard the faint sound of fighting on the other side of the corner.
The sound sounded a bit far away, but the movement was not small. As experienced Aurors, they could easily tell that the intensity of the battle over there was serious. This made everyone subconsciously turn around the corner. Just stopped first.
And soon, everyone, including John, discovered that stopping here was undoubtedly the right choice.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a figure flew from the other side of the corner and slammed into the wall of the corner in front of the Aurors. Looking at the force of the collision, if it were an ordinary person, he would have lost half his life even if he didn't die.
But who knew that before the raised dust fell to the ground, everyone watched helplessly as the little figure smashed into the wall had already climbed out, coughing lightly. Although the hazy figure standing up with difficulty on his knees in the dust looked somewhat embarrassed, it was obvious that he still had the strength to fight.
"Ahem... This power is indeed a bit strange."
The words coming from the dust still sound very immature, how should I put it...
"Like a... child?"
John, who was standing at the end of the team, frowned and was a little confused at first, but then, with his quick thinking, he immediately thought of a possibility.
"Wait! Is that the Shitabe tribe that is said to have followed Brooks out?"
Thinking of this, John couldn't help but took a step forward and walked out from behind the Auror in front of him, and said to that side:
"Where is my brother Brooks now?"
In the final analysis, when he took over the task and came to investigate this case with the team, his biggest goal was to find his brother. If I have to say it, even Tia was just incidental. Now, following the clues all the way, he finally saw a glimmer of light. Even though he knew it was obviously inappropriate to ask at this juncture, he still spoke up.
Of course, after already knowing the strength of the Shitabe tribe and the strange character of the other party, it might be a reasonable move to express his identity and intention in advance like this.
At the very least, our side should not be attacked by the Shitabe tribe in the future, right
Sure enough, after hearing John's voice, the slightly thin figure suddenly turned his head and looked here.
"Are you his brother?" The young but extremely calm voice said calmly, "He was captured and may have been taken away now..."
However, before he finished speaking, two wind sounds suddenly came, and the alien boy was forced to shut his mouth and move towards this side with his feet moving.
Perhaps it was precisely because of John's brief exchange with the other party that the Aurors present did not attempt to launch any attack on the approaching boy, but instead gave him room to retreat.
But to be honest, in the midst of the flash of lightning, no one had the time to think about it carefully. Because the moment the boy dodged, a chaotic, sparkling black mist rushed over from the corner of the corridor and crashed into the corner where the boy was just now.
Then everyone saw the black mist surge, but it only paused for a moment, then turned around and came this way.
"Back off! Back off!"
It has to be said that these Aurors sent by the Congress are indeed well-trained, and they responded quickly at this time. After seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately took the lead and became the rear, and began to evacuate very quickly.
"Bang! Bang bang bang bang -"
A series of magic spells were thrown out one after another as the entire team retreated, constantly trying to block the two groups of black mist meteors that were chasing after them. Unfortunately, the effect was limited, and it was probably only a short delay.
Fortunately, the Shitabe boy who had come over to stand with the Aurors was not idle at the moment. In an instant, an arm stretched out and turned into several whip shadows, and he whipped the black mist vigorously. As he struck again and again, causing the opponent to stagnate and splash black mist, he also received surprised looks from the Aurors around him.
Nowadays, even the Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States of America have rarely seen the Shitabe tribe fight with their own eyes. Seeing this little foreign boy showing off his power now, even if he was in crisis, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Only John was an exception at this time.
"What is that... Obscurus?" As he retreated with the team, waving the wand in his hand, he was thinking secretly, "No, how is it possible? How long has it been since there has been such a thing in the American wizarding world?"
The last time the Obscurial appeared in the United States was when Gellert Grindelwald rose to power, and after Albus Dumbledore took action to extinguish the evil flames, these things soon disappeared naturally. No trace left.
Unexpectedly, for decades, they seemed to be hiding somewhere invisible on the surface, quietly entrenched in the dark corners of the world.
If this were to spread, it would definitely be big news that would cause panic in the entire American wizarding world!
"There are many obstacles, maximize it!"
As he thought about it, John became more and more confused, so much so that he even cast the spell a little harder.
At this time, his strength as a leader of the younger generation of the Stewart family suddenly became apparent. Although he was far less experienced than Aurors in the details of on-the-spot combat, the intensity of each of his spells was already much higher than that of ordinary Aurors.
At this moment, John, the other Aurors, and the Shitabe boy, who used all their strength, finally managed to stop the two Obscurials.
"Your skills are not bad."
The foreign boy who struck hard with his backhand gave him a rare compliment, and then said:
"You use magic to help me, and then... you can start to fight back."
