Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Understood, sir.” Hogg nodded in acceptance. After rigorous training, his current level of stealth and tracking had become extremely professional, even earning Anduin's approval of his infiltration skills.

Anduin nodded, feeling relatively confident in Hogg. He then pointed to another red dot.

“This is ‘Fire Snake,’ a ‘Short Spear’ within the Silver Spears. Judging by their current location, they should be at headquarters, which aligns with the intelligence. They appear to be a Silver Spear specifically responsible for headquarters defense. Their status is high, and their strength is considerable. We'll leave this one alone for now. Two days from now is ‘Thunderbird’s’ safe period. I'll use Thunderbird's identity to go to headquarters and probe their situation.”

“And this person,” Anduin pointed to the third red dot, “is another Short Spear codenamed ‘Shapeshifting Lizard.’ Their duty is to handle merit exchanges and assess new recruits. Their current location is somewhere in Germany. We don't yet know the details about them, so Xatia, you'll be responsible for tracking them. Prioritize figuring out their public identity.”

“Yes, sir! Finally, it's my time to shine!” Xatia excitedly tossed her hair. She had been cooped up for the past two years, staying in Anduin's shop. This time, after much begging, she finally managed to secure the opportunity to accompany him.

“Be careful not to expose yourself. According to Thunderbird, these three are experts specifically responsible for headquarters. Not only are they strong, but they're also extremely loyal to the ‘Rune Serpent,’ all being die-hard elements left over from the Saint Society era. I suspect that ‘Shapeshifting Lizard’ and ‘Fire Snake,’ although still Short Spears, have likely already taken the Immortality Elixir.”

“Understood, I'll be careful.” Xatia replied seriously, then couldn't help but look at the last red dot. “Sir, didn't you say there were only three ‘Silver Spears’ in Germany? How is there another one here?”

“This person is the Long Spear ‘Phoenix.’ I don't understand why she's here. She should be in charge of the French branch. Her appearance is somewhat unusual.” Anduin muttered, looking at the red dot with some confusion.

This guy is also a die-hard and a true core member of the Silver Spears. In addition to handling French affairs, she also participates in the Silver Spears' planning in Europe. She previously collaborated with Golden Flyer and other Long Spears to plan and prepare for the establishment of a transit station in England.

Thunderbird and another Long Spear, Black Dragon, are specifically responsible for American affairs. Unfortunately, Thunderbird has been active in the United States for the past few years. He used a portkey to escape back to America and has since remained there, healing his injuries and accumulating strength.

Therefore, Thunderbird isn't very clear about the situation in Europe these past few years. He doesn't even know the detailed beginnings and ends of the German division. Of course, this is also due to the large gap between the higher-ups in the Silver Spears organization. These Long Spears basically rarely contact each other and usually manage their own affairs.

Thunderbird has always served as the club's number one warrior. He rarely inquired about the club's plans, focusing more on actions.

The reason Thunderbird ran to England was because the British transit station was connected to the transportation routes between America and Europe, so Thunderbird, with his rich experience in action, was sent to handle it.

The Silver Spear ‘Bird Serpent’ who was killed by Moody on the island of Ireland a year ago was Phoenix's confidant. Bird Serpent was also sent by Phoenix to help Thunderbird establish the British transit station, but he died in England after only a few days.

Phoenix has also been in contact with Thunderbird over the past year, partly to find out what exactly happened in England, and partly to get Thunderbird to continue to promote the construction of the transit station.

However, the volatile Thunderbird didn't pay attention to Phoenix, only informing her that the promotion of British affairs was hindered and that Bird Serpent died in an attack by the British Ministry of Magic. As for the promotion of British affairs, Thunderbird simply said that he was still thinking of a way, and the communication was quite unsuccessful.

But this is actually the norm in the Silver Spears. These Long Spears have very limited trust in each other because of the Immortality Elixir. In addition, each Long Spear is a person with explosive combat power and untamed.

So for club affairs, they only determine a goal, and they basically don't care about how to do it or how long it will take.

Therefore, Phoenix and the others don't really understand the situation in America, and their knowledge of the situation in England is also very limited, while Thunderbird and Black Dragon are not very clear about what Golden Flyer and Phoenix have done in Europe.

This situation is conducive to Anduin hiding his identity. The people in the club will not suspect him because he does not understand the situation in Europe, but because of this, he is now completely ignorant of the situation in Germany and has to start from scratch.

“This Phoenix…” Anduin looked at the red dot representing Phoenix and pondered for a moment, “I'll follow this Phoenix myself. You guys take care of your own targets. Remember, the primary goal is your own safety. Don't expose yourselves. Report any situation immediately. Meet here at 12 o'clock tonight.”

“Yes, sir.” “Understood!”

Hogg and Xatia responded and then disappeared from the spot.

Anduin also simply packed up, took all his equipment, and disappeared from the spot.

Anduin directly used Apparition and continued to maintain a phantom form to shuttle through the air. This technique became more and more proficient after being tempered by lightning, and he is now even trying to use it in battle.

However, his Apparition is slightly different from that of ordinary wizards. When he enters the phantom form, his body completely turns into lightning, making him look like a humanoid figure constructed of electric light.

Of course, he will still disappear when performing long-range teleportation, but when performing short-range displacement, he will still leave behind afterimages of electric light.

...

At 12 o'clock that night, inside a room at the Duden House Inn.

Anduin and Xatia's figures appeared one by one, but Hogg's figure was nowhere to be seen.

“Where's that stupid dog Hogg? Did he forget the time again, or was he discovered and captured?” Xatia didn't find that annoying stupid dog when she returned to the room, and immediately taunted gloatingly. Of course, she also knew that he must be fine, otherwise Anduin's expression wouldn't be so calm.

“Hogg's target has made a new discovery, and he is still continuing to follow up.” Anduin casually explained to Xatia, and then asked, “How is your side, what have you found?”

Hearing this, Xatia immediately took out a few photos and handed them to Anduin.

After a brief review, Anduin found that most of them were photos of an old building. Only when he turned to the end did he see the figure of a young wizard in his thirties, but this wizard was basically inside that old building, and the photos were taken through the windows.

“This ‘Shapeshifting Lizard’ stayed in the room all day. I could only collect images when the other party passed by the window. Because I was afraid of being exposed, I didn’t get particularly close. There are currently two pieces of information. First, this old building should be the other party’s hiding place. Second, judging by the other party’s age, there is a high probability that they have also drunk the Immortality Elixir, otherwise it would be impossible to stay so young.”

After handing over the photos, Xatia briefly stated her speculation.

Anduin nodded upon hearing this. In fact, in addition to the age of this Silver Spear, the other party's behavior was also very similar to that of a wizard who had drunk the Immortality Elixir, staying in the room all day, completely isolated from the world, hiding himself in the shadows.

This is very similar to the snake-shedding wizards that Anduin knew. Although they are talented and powerful in combat, they are full of fear, afraid of being discovered their secrets, and discovered their snake-shedding period.

“Well done, have you found out the other party’s real identity?” Although Xatia only squatted for a day, Anduin still praised her.

“No, the neighbors around this guy are either empty houses or old people with slurred speech and blurred consciousness. I can't find out the name he is currently using, but even if I ask, it is likely to be a pseudonym.” Xatia shook her head boringly, then jumped onto the bed. She was so bored all day, just staring at a broken house, it was better to play with Hogg.

“In that case, install a few surveillance magic cameras near his residence. If the other party does not leave that location, there is no need to continue following them.” Anduin instructed.

“Okay, I guess that guy probably won’t leave his residence unless he has a mission. He’s like a ghost, even more gloomy than our vampires.” Xatia rolled her eyes speechlessly, then looked at Anduin again, “Sir, how is your side, did you gain anything?”

Anduin shook his head upon hearing this, “My side is even worse than yours, I haven’t even seen anyone. The other party has also been hiding in the room, and I can feel that the other party has cast a protective spell on the house, so I didn’t dare to send a monitoring spider to test it.”

“But although I haven’t figured out the other party’s details, I at least know her residence. I have already installed magic surveillance around her residence. As long as the other party shows up, I can find out the other party’s identity in advance.”

“Then what about after figuring out the other party’s identity, are you going to arrest them or kill them?” Xatia’s ideas were quite violent, and she directly suggested killing them.

“Our goal is the ‘Rune Serpent,’ these guys can’t escape. If it’s just to solve them, there’s no need to make it so troublesome, and this Phoenix is just an extra. The most important thing is still the situation on Hogg’s side.” Anduin shook his head.

At the same time, he specifically pointed out, “Moreover, we are not sure whether the Silver Spears’ manpower is only these people on the surface. After all, these few people are only locked in from Thunderbird, but Thunderbird has not participated in headquarters affairs for several years. It is also very normal to hide other Silver Spears.”

Just as Anduin was speaking, a wave of fluctuations suddenly occurred in the space of the room, it was Hogg who had returned.

“Sir, things are serious!” Hogg shouted at Anduin as soon as he landed.
