Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

However, in Thunderbird's eyes, Martin's behavior was tantamount to betrayal, so he once had the idea of getting rid of him, but Sphinx secretly protected him, after all, there was still friendship.

And Sphinx's Egyptian branch is one of the few in the Silver Spears that does not need to provide magical creatures to the headquarters. He only needs to transfer a portion of funds to the branch regularly, after all, Egypt is a famous trading country in the wizarding world.

Therefore, Sphinx's connection with the headquarters is very weak, and it is very normal for them not to contact each other for a year or two.

Of course, other branches are basically the same. Usually, they let black market partners handle smuggling goods. These spears only show up when they return to headquarters to exchange for the 'Elixir of Life'. They are never seen at all.

However, the loose organizational structure of the Silver Spears is very conducive to Anduin's actions.

He has now taken down Thunderbird, but Sphinx also knows that he will go to meet Thunderbird, so in order not to alert the enemy, he must disappear from Sphinx's sight next, and he cannot go to the Alchemy Conference.

After returning to the hotel, Anduin quickly found Aselia and asked her to help him perfunctorily explain to Bianca, saying that he had something to do and could not continue to participate in the meeting, the more vague the statement the better.

This can roughly deceive Sphinx for a few days, and he will have to find a way to deal with this Mr. Sebastian next.

However, in terms of methods, there may be some differences from dealing with Thunderbird, after all, Sphinx is not a reckless man like Thunderbird, and it is difficult to lure him out, so he has to do it in the city.

Based on Thunderbird's previous confession and the information he collected, Anduin set his sights on the black market in the remote suburbs of Cairo, which is under Sphinx's jurisdiction.

"Perhaps it would be safer to attack him in the black market or on his way to and from the black market. After all, he has not taken the Elixir of Life, so he will occasionally go to the black market in person, and now is the peak of Cairo's population flow, so the possibility of him going there to oversee is not low."

Anduin pondered slightly in his heart, and determined the basic idea. In short, he must hide himself these days and monitor Sphinx's movements. As long as he shows signs of leaving the city to go to the black market, he will attack.

And for dealing with Sphinx, the tactics he prepared were not as complicated as when dealing with Thunderbird. After all, this Sphinx's strength is not particularly strong, of course, this is in comparison with Thunderbird. It should be no problem for him to beat three or five Aselias.

The key thing to pay attention to is to prevent the other party from escaping and leaking information, and to capture him alive as much as possible. After all, Anduin is still very interested in the technology in his hands.

After making up his mind, Anduin disappeared from the tavern again and completely went into hiding.

Bianca and others did not think much after receiving Aselia's notification. The most important award ceremony of this alchemy conference has ended. It is reasonable for Anduin, as the owner of an alchemy company, to have some things to be busy with.

However, this was not the same in Sebastian's eyes. After he discovered that Anduin did not participate in the subsequent conference, and after inquiring that no one had seen Anduin since last night,

He had already assumed that Thunderbird had solved the other party, and the strange reactions of those British Ministry of Magic companions were probably because they had not realized that Anduin had an accident.

As a 'spear', Sphinx also knew better than to contact Thunderbird at this time, after all, contacting these guys who had drunk the Elixir of Life without authorization might be regarded as someone plotting against them, and even if they did contact them, they might not reply.

Therefore, as long as Anduin does not reappear, Sphinx will not find out that Thunderbird's actions have gone wrong.

So he simply relaxed and continued to participate in the alchemy conference leisurely.

After the end of the second day's conference, Sphinx did not show any abnormal behavior, nor did he go to the black market, but calmly busied himself with his own affairs.

Anduin was not in a hurry about this. He even made up his mind that even if the other party did not act during the alchemy conference, he would continue to lie in wait until Sphinx showed a flaw, and he was not even prepared to return to China with Bianca and others.

After all, regarding the Thunderbird incident, Sphinx is now the only one who knows the inside story.

However, Sphinx's next move relieved Anduin. On the evening of the third day after the conference ended, he disappeared from downtown Cairo, and according to the direction shown on the tracker, the other party was indeed in the direction of the black market.

Anduin immediately prepared after discovering the other party's abnormality and followed him directly.

However, the troublesome thing now is that Sphinx directly Apparated there. As expected, the other party will definitely Apparate back later.

"It seems that the strategy of intercepting the other party halfway is a bit whimsical. Since this is the case, we can only do it in the black market, but we still have to be careful to avoid being discovered by people in the black market and leaking information. However, basically no one knows Sphinx's true identity, even the black market partners and the short spears under his command."

"Since this is the case, if the other party shows up as Sebastian, then take him down with thunderous force, and then pretend to be a black market brawl."

After Anduin carefully considered it in his mind, he raised his eyes and looked at the black market gate in front of him.

This place is said to be a black market, but from the outside, it looks like an ancient Egyptian temple, and it is the kind that is dilapidated and不堪. The plaster on the walls is so broken that it is peeling off, revealing the mud bricks inside.

Because this place is far away from the city and surrounded by desert, there is not even a road leading here, so you can't see any Muggles at all, and from a distance, it looks like an abandoned building.

At this time, Anduin had changed his appearance. Now he was wearing the face of 'Thunderbird-Gerard', and his equipment was covered with a local Arab robe, and he was also wearing an Arab sheikh-style turban on his head. He took out an invitation and slowly approached the temple.

The scene in front of him immediately changed after he approached a certain distance with the invitation in his hand.

At this time, the temple in front of Anduin was brightly lit, the gate was wide open, and there were two goblin guards in Arab costumes standing guard at the door. Through the high earth windows and the gate, you could even hear the hawking inside.

"It seems that the invitation itself is also a temporary alchemy item. Only people with invitations can see the real scene. The density of the shielding curse and the confusion curse here is very high. As expected of an alchemy power, even a black market has so many details."

"Hello, please show your invitation!" The goblin guard in charge of guarding looked at Anduin in front of him and said in a flat tone.

Although people without invitations cannot find the black market even if they approach here, this is Cairo after all. Who knows if some alchemy master is full and has strayed in, so the guard still has to do his duty for this kind of unfamiliar face that he sees for the first time.

"Here." Anduin spread out the invitation in his hand.

After the guard responsibly confirmed it, he immediately put on a smiling face, "Hello, wizard, please forgive my rudeness. After all, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time coming to the 'Ismailia Market'? Do you need me to introduce you to a guide?"

Looking at the goblin guard's face that looked uglier than crying when he smiled, Anduin shook his head coldly, "I'll just stroll around myself, don't bother me."

After saying that, he flicked a silver Sickle to the other party, and the goblin guard smiled even uglier after receiving it, and flattered diligently, "No problem, wizard, if you need any help in the market, you can call the wizards around you wearing green armbands. They are the staff here and will be happy to serve you."

Anduin was speechless to get rid of the goblin guard beside him. Why are these goblins in Egypt also showing this kind of snobbish face?

After entering the black market, Anduin realized that the scale here was not small at all.

Although the entire black market is located in the temple, the internal space has obviously been expanded by the 'Unbreakable Charm'. The layout of the market is in the shape of a 'well', with two vertical and horizontal roads intersecting each other. On both sides of the road are stalls similar in form to the Karah Market.

However, the stalls here are obviously much smaller than 'Karah'. The stalls in front of each merchant are only about four or five square meters. At a glance, it looks a bit like a flea market in a university before.

However, the things sold here are more diverse than Karah. There is all kinds of fresh magical animal meat, which is cut and spread out on waterproof cloth and sold like ordinary pork.

There are also many magical animals that are obviously forbidden to be sold, placed in cages. Anduin even saw several sirens in water tanks, covered in scars. These are intelligent creatures, classified and defined as 'people' by the Ministry of Magic.

Anduin didn't expect that they would dare to sell even this. This is already suspected of human trafficking, which is a serious crime in the Ministry of Magic of any country.

However, the most sold in the entire black market are all kinds of dark magic alchemy props and various relics!

Needless to say, dark magic alchemy props, there are many alchemy props that Anduin can sense the residual curse aura on after approaching, and even crime tools such as 'Hand of Glory' appear in large numbers.

The so-called relics are actually items left over from various ruins.

Because Egypt retains a large number of ancient buildings and ruins, there are a lot of explorers, tomb robbers, and curse breakers dispatched by various companies and officials to explore these ruins.

One is because many ancient tombs and ruins contain a lot of dangerous magic, such as large-scale curses, which may cause disasters if not handled.

Of course, this is the official statement. The more important thing is the interests involved.
