Fire Alchemist

France Alsace

The town in the afternoon is filled with a warm and lazy atmosphere, and the whole town looks peaceful and quiet.The warm wind blows the curtains, and the warm sunlight penetrates into the living room through the window.By the window, a six-year-old girl was lying on the table, drawing a circular formation in a decent manner. After finishing the drawing, she put a small wooden horse with a broken leg in the center of the formation, and then... ...In about the blink of an eye, a brand new little wooden horse stood on the table again.

"Roy, I succeeded! Roy!..." The girl shouted happily, but she didn't get any response for a long time, she held back her mouth, "Roy, who hates me, always leaves me alone at home. Every time I succeed, I can't see..." The little girl grumbled and complained, while picking up the books piled high on the side.

"Ding dong!" After hearing the doorbell, the little girl tidied up the table unhurriedly, then went to the window next to the door, lifted a corner of the curtain and secretly looked at the visitors at the door.

There were two people standing at the door, an old man with white hair and a middle-aged man with brown hair. The old man obviously had a look of anxiety on his face. The identity of the young man opened the door.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Mahoney. Roy is out. If you want to find him, please come in and wait for a while." The little girl saluted the two visitors, and let them into the room sideways.

"Thank you, dear little Anna." The middle-aged man took off the hat on his head, bent down and kissed the blond girl, "Roy left you alone at home again? He is really not a good godfather. Bring us two glasses of water, oh, by the way, this is Mr. Gareth Knott, and he is in a hurry to find Roy, can you contact him as soon as possible?"

Bernie Mahoney's repeated orders made Nott frowned involuntarily. It's not a good thing to work a child who is only five or six years old. cub.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Our little protagonist——Annabel Granger nodded obediently, turned around and entered the kitchen, poured a glass of water for the two visitors, and then walked to the telephone stand in the corner of the living room, Stand on tiptoe and press the key.

Ten minutes later, Roy opened the door.

"Oh, Roy, you're finally back. Gareth and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Mahoney quickly got up and greeted him, pointing to Nott beside him and said, "This is Gareth Nott. Te, the patriarch of the Nott family. Roy, we can ask you for help this time."

Roy nodded to Nott, "Go to the study and talk."

Gareth followed Roy and Mahoney to the study. When approaching the study, Gareth glanced at Anna sitting by the window. The little girl was still drawing diagrams he didn't understand. It seems that he has no interest in the conversation of adults at all.Is it prudent or stupid... Gareth shook his head, really, he must be dizzy, no matter what other children do.

The three stayed in the study for more than two hours, and then came out with serious faces.

"Anna, I need to go out tonight, is it okay for you to be at home alone?"

Anna nodded, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Hearing Roy's words, the little girl quickly ran into the kitchen, sorted out some snacks and handed them to Roy, "I will lock the doors and windows, and remember to bring me some breakfast when I come back tomorrow morning. There is nothing in stock at home."

"Okay." Roy bent down and kissed Anna on the cheek, then turned his head to signal Mahoney and Nott to follow him and leave.

"It seems that this is not the first time you have left cute little Anna at home. You are really incompetent godfather." Mahoney looked at Roy with dissatisfaction, "You should at least send Anna to Go to someone you know."

"No." Roy said briefly, "She has enough ability to protect herself."

"Oh..." Mahoney curled his lips helplessly, apparently this was not the first time he heard such an answer.

The next morning, Anna woke up to the smell of grape bread, "Roy, did you finish what you did yesterday?"

"Not yet. Pack your things after breakfast, we need to go to America."

Anna looked up suspiciously, "Is the matter difficult? Is it related to other dark races?"

Roy shook his head, "It may be the military, or it may be the research laboratory of ordinary people. However, it will be more troublesome if it is the military."

"Oh, that's really bad." Anna nodded in a serious manner. Fortunately, in the United States, there are still many private research laboratories in the United States. If it is in Europe, it is likely to be invested by the government. From that Saving people in such institutions is simply a fantasy.

In order to save time, several people did not rush to the United States in the way of ordinary people, but contacted the French Ministry of Magic through Mahony, contacted the local magic government in the United States through the French Department of International Affairs, and arrived through the international Floo network. U.S.While waiting for the clerk of the Department of International Affairs to contact the American wizard, Roy briefly explained to Anna the purpose of their trip to the United States.

After walking out of the fireplace, Roy and Anna were apparated to Silver Cross Avenue by Mahoney and Nott.This is a settlement of blood races.However, in order not to stand out too much, the buildings here are in the style of villas or apartments that ordinary people live in. If you don't know the people here very well, you won't think that the people here are actually vampires.As soon as they stood firm, Mahoney and Nott immediately slipped their wands into their hands and stood beside Roy and Anna on guard.In England, it is rare to encounter blood races, but there have been frictions between wizards and blood races.These dark creatures could not let their guard down.

"Don't be so nervous." There was a smile on the corner of Roy's mouth. "Although there are only a small number of vegetarians living here, the blood race is still very friendly to their friends."

"Hey, Roy, buddy, how are you doing?" A gust of wind blew by, and the four of them found a man with golden pupils standing in front of them. He had black waist-length hair, pale skin, and was wearing a tattered denim jacket. Pants, with a string of large animal teeth hanging on the chest.The casual attire made Nott frowned slightly. Is such a person reliable?

"Ah, dear little Anna, the little thing you made last time allowed us to drive away a nasty lagging dog. Thank you very much." It seemed that he didn't care about Nott's disgust at all, and bent down and hugged them in the middle Annabelle kissed him so hard that Mahoney and Nott were so startled that they almost poked their wands at each other.

"Really...you will never learn what etiquette is? Or is your brain completely animalized, Yuriel." Roy rubbed his forehead helplessly, and then signaled the two people around him not to be too nervous. Too nervous, "This is Yuriye Gangelo, although he looks like he is too poor to eat and wear clothes..."

"Hey, old man, how can you slander me like this, we have fought side by side!" Yuriye complained pretending to be aggrieved, while holding Anna and leading a few people into the street, "You let I've got some clues about what I've investigated. Thank you Cain, this is just a private act."

Hearing Yuriye's words, Roy couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "Did you find that child? Those bastards didn't do anything to him, did they?"

Uriel shook his head, and Nott on the side couldn't help paying attention to Uriel's answer after hearing Roy's words. That was his grandson, the only heir of the Nott family, so nothing unexpected could happen!

"Not yet. There are a lot of supernatural children captured this time, not only young wizards, but also some Asian supernatural beings and some dark races. I have touched that experimental base once, and it is very dangerous for wizards. .Because there is a powerful magic circle inside. I suspect that some of the participants in the experiment must be wizards."

"That is to say, there can't be wizards in the rescue team?" Roy frowned unconsciously, so there would be too few people. Mahoney and Nott are both wizards, and Nott doesn't understand ordinary people. If there is no weapon, then even if he stays on the periphery, it will not be of much use.

"Maybe we can think of a way to destroy that magic barrier first."

"..."

In order to ensure that one hit is sure to hit, Nott had to patiently accept the Muggle weapon popularization training given to him by several people, so that he would not become a waste in the rescue team.What made him even more embarrassing was that when Roy and other adults were busy running around and had no time to take care of him, he even had to accept the guidance of Annabel, a young hemp cub.

"No, no, no, this gun has a relatively strong recoil, I don't think it is very suitable for wizards who lack physical exercise." The little girl snatched the M21 sniper rifle from his hand, "And snipers need accurate Long-distance shooting ability, obviously, this is too high a requirement for you who are new to firearms. In fact, I recommend the AK-47 rifle. This assault rifle has a short body and has less recoil than the sniper rifle just now. , but the range is relatively short.”

Watching the little girl rushing into the room that Yuriye had turned into an arsenal, she rummaged for a while and ran out with a rifle in her arms.Nott smiled wryly.Although I don't hate and reject Muggles like the Black family, it's just that the experience of the past few days is enough to subvert my lifelong concept.Muggles, this race with weak and dirty blood in their eyes, has extraordinary attack power. If they want to, with these weapons, they can instantly reduce the entire British wizarding world to ashes.
