Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Has it been discovered?" Dean was shocked.

Seeing that there was a door ajar next to him, he ducked in without thinking too much.

Dean gently closed the door, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that there was already a man in black clothes wrapped tightly in the room, with only one pair of eyes exposed. It seemed that he had just hid in, just like him, but he jumped from the window. Come in.

Dean narrowed his eyes and saw that the other party was dressed like a Fuso ninja.

The other party was obviously caught off guard by Dean's sudden appearance. Just as the two were staring at each other, the sound of opening the door came from outside. It was obviously someone coming out of Du Plessis' room to check what was going on.

The man in black was obviously panicked, and suddenly threw something towards the door, and then a thick smoke came out, filling the entire room in an instant.

"How stupid!" Dean cursed secretly. Doesn't this clearly tell others that they are hiding in this room?

But this is not a bad thing for Dean. The moment the smoke started to rise, he ventured into the atomized state and mixed with the smoke - anyway, even if he was really detected using magic, he would not be able to use magic at all. You can push it to the black ninja.

After the atomized Dean and the thick smoke merged into one, he suddenly felt like a fish in water. Everywhere the thick smoke went became a part of his body, and everything here was under his control.

There is no doubt that this is a study room, with three walls lined with bookshelves; there are many open books and recording papers spread out on a large desk.

He easily found the hiding place of the ninja - a hidden place in the corner of the house, covered with a camouflage cloak - at least until the smoke cleared, unless he knew where he was hiding in advance. It's really hard to find.

Dean must admit that from a medieval perspective, this ninja's methods are still very good, at least for ordinary people. Unfortunately, they are not enough in the eyes of wizards.

But this is not the point. The point is that after Dean discovered that the ninja had disguised himself, he was about to receive a thick notebook into his arms.

If Dean read it correctly, it seemed that this notebook had been placed on the desk in the room.

Could it be that the main purpose of this ninja coming here is this handbook?

Thinking of this, Dean's curiosity aroused, and he couldn't help but use "Duplicate" to make a copy of the codex that had already fallen into the hands of the ninja - the poor ninja was unaware of this.

In the blink of an eye, the door of the study room was pushed open. Du Plessis looked at the thick smoke pouring out with a serious face. Judging from his expression, he was very worried that there was a fire here.

"Don't worry, I didn't sense an active fire element, which means the thick smoke was not caused by an open flame." Perenal appeared behind Duplesi and said softly.

"Bishop Duplesi, if you are willing, I can use magic to deal with it." Nico asked.

"It wouldn't be necessary if the cost of doing this is for me to lower my conditions." Du Plessis shook his head.

Nico smiled.

Dean, who saw everything in his eyes, was slightly stunned. It seemed that this was what Nico planned.

"Bishop Duples, if you insist on refusing our help, it's best to find someone to deal with it quickly. I'm afraid things may change over time," Perenal reminded.

"My people will be here soon." Duples said calmly, "It doesn't matter even if this place is burned down. There is nothing important here. The only thing of some value is some of my manuscripts. As long as you spend some time It can be reorganized.”

"I hope the loss won't be too big." Nico could only say with a dry smile.

"Mr. Flamel, the reason why I don't want you to take action is mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble." Duples didn't want to embarrass the Flamel couple. "After all, there are many church members here. If others find out that you are wizards, It’s very difficult for everyone.”

The Flamel couple showed understanding expressions and told Du Plessis that it didn't matter.

Dean couldn't help but sigh to himself, did the Flamel couple have too little contact with other people, so they didn't care about Duples so easily?

To be honest, Dean was a little disappointed. This famous alchemist obviously put too much energy into his alchemy career, so much so that he was surprisingly naive in some aspects.

Perhaps out of respect in the magic world, most wizards will be courteous to Master Flamel; but for others, they may not give up the good opportunity to take advantage of him.

And the Duples they faced was a man of deep intelligence and scheming. Dean believed that even in a huge church, such a person was rare. There must be some special reason why he was not known yet.

Dean believes that as long as he has the right opportunity, Duples will be able to skyrocket.

For Duples, an elite bishop in the church, Nico's lack of communication skills will be infinitely magnified. Otherwise, he would not be subject to others in the previous negotiations.

However, Dean secretly admired De Price's accurate judgment.

Because he was integrated with the thick smoke, in order to delay as much as possible the situation where he had to leave after the thick smoke dissipated, Dean deliberately controlled the speed at which the thick smoke dissipated.

Duples may have noticed that the smoke dissipated very slowly, and then judged that there would be no major changes in the room in a short period of time, so he was so calm.

As wizards, the Flamel couple must know the situation in the room better than Duples, so after trying once, they gave up persuading.

I don't know whether the sudden thick smoke here attracted other people's attention, or whether Duples used an unknown method to notify his people. Dean noticed that there were many people nearby holding water vessels filled with water and pouring water here. Come.

Dean felt slightly regretful. If he continued to control the smoke like this, it would be difficult for others to discover his flaws, so he simply stopped controlling it. Suddenly, the smoke that had been suppressed for a long time began to roll outwards.

At this moment, Dean noticed that the ninja who had been hiding well had also moved. He also realized that something was wrong and was about to take the opportunity to escape.

After a moment's hesitation, Dean decided to leave Master Flamel's side temporarily and follow the black ninja.

There won't be any changes on Master Flamel's side in a short time, and it will be difficult for Dean to find a suitable opportunity to approach. Moreover, after the smoke dissipates, in order to avoid being exposed, he has to leave and find a way to approach again - obviously It's impossible under the current situation.

On the contrary, it was the ninja that interested him.

He wanted to know whether this ninja was making such a big fuss just to steal an unfinished codex?

Dean has not worried about safety at all. Even if he cannot use magic rashly here, he is very confident in his skills. Even if a ninja finds out and has to use force, he believes that he can take down the opponent without any effort.

This ninja's skills can bluff ordinary people, but in Dean's eyes they are not worth mentioning~
