The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Stark waved a wind-up toy in front of Ma Linglong, as if to claim credit, he tightened the wind-up on the back of the toy, and the toy immediately began to circle around Ma Linglong's feet on the ground, until the clockwork stops.

"Do you like it?" Stark said, picking up the toy from the ground, "Tin Mouse, if you like it, it's yours."

Ma Linglong looked at the "mouse" that had come out of nowhere, and then at Stark, that kind of craftsmanship should be from him.

"Don't like it?" Stark twisted the clockwork on the mouse's back in disbelief, and then it ran back and forth between Stark's hands, like a real mouse.

"I like it." Ma Linglong finally gave Stark a satisfactory reply.

She remembered that last night, Stark hid in the corner and knocked, and when Ma Linglong walked over to look, he insisted on sending her away.But she still noticed the screw instead of the clockwork mechanism that Stark was holding in his hand last night.It was removed from a missile core. It looked very special, and Ma Linglong could see it clearly.

Stark handed the mouse to her, but when Ma Linglong took it with his hands, Stark deliberately kept turning around her forearm, but refused to give it.

"Want?" Stark held the mouse over his head, "If you want, sit down and listen to me."

Ma Linglong didn't really want to be at his mercy, but Stark did get a lot of happiness from her. In the cave, Stark laughed mostly from her.It can also be said that when Stark is feeling agitated, Ma Linglong's presence always calms him down, maybe he just doesn't want to show negative emotions in front of a traumatized child.

Therefore, Ma Linglong sat down obediently to see what tricks he wanted to play.

"I will take you out of here, without a doubt." Stark whispered, "But you see, you are not friendly to me, of course I have faults, I always embarrass you, but your faults are worse. more."

Ma Linglong looked at him, waiting for Stark's brazenness.

"But we are all in the same boat, you know what I mean, we have to work together to get out smoothly." Stark said, "You swear you won't trip me up with bread in the future, and then you can get A toy, Stark, unique."

He is so serious about educating a child, but he is showing his favor to her, and he wants to reconcile.Stark may have never done anything like it in his life, but he thought he was doing pretty well.It can be seen from his contemptuous attitude that Stark firmly believes that a 12-year-old boy will definitely compromise his attitude for a fun toy.

Well, he did the right thing, because Ma Linglong was willing to cooperate with him in the performance: "I swear." Ma Linglong replied in a hoarse voice.

"Very good, this is a good boy." Stark rubbed her hair, and then put the wind-up toy in Ma Linglong's hand.

Then, something unfortunate happened, the toy suddenly bounced off Lao Gao, flew straight towards Ma Linglong's forehead, and hit her forehead hard, Ma Linglong yelled, scaring Ethan With a jump, he was only halfway in the toilet and ran out with his pants up.

That was just too painful!

Ma Linglong roared in his heart.

Stark smiled very heartily, as if he saw a funny plot in a comedy movie, he laughed presumptuously and undisguisedly: "Sorry, kid." He smiled and expressed an insincere apology, "I think there may be something wrong with the spring. Fault, I didn't mean to, don't look at me like that."

Ma Linglong glared at him, and wanted to cast the petrification spell on him in the next second.

Stark picked up the mouse from the ground: "Okay, I will fix it, I promise I can." He can talk to himself all day long to all kinds of iron pieces, not to mention Now facing the living, "Don't go, Nasin, don't you want to know how it works?"

He took her into his lap without Ma Linglong's consent: "I apologize, it was indeed an accident." His strong arms wrapped Ma Linglong in that embrace, and Stark used a knife and The screwdriver pries the surface of the toy open, "Look, the axle is a little bit out of the way, so it popped up just now, do you know how to fix it?"

Ma Linglong's body was covered with the heat from Stark, and his body was mixed with the smell of engine oil and sweat, which was hot and smoky: "I want to go down."

"Don't get too far, you should be honored, I never hug a man." Stark straightened the axle and wrapped a circle of wire around it, "That's it, it's very simple, have you learned it?" His nostrils shrank, "Okay, go down, you stink."

Another day has passed, and Ethan is sitting with his back to the camera and plotting the escape route. He is the only person in this cave room who is allowed to enter and leave the prison door. He will find various reasons, reasonable reasons, to leave the room, and remember He added something to the route drawing every day for future use.

"Drawing something like this is asking for trouble."

Ethan was startled by Ma Linglong who suddenly spoke from behind: "God witnesses, you scared me just now." Ethan pushed the charcoal pencil aside, cold sweat formed beads of water on his forehead, "You have no idea what's out there, once you leave the base, without a map, you'll be lost in the desert, unless you tell me that at Hogwarts you also learned how to act like a camel without a wand The art of surviving in the desert."

Stark fell asleep, and the genius who was about to finish his work also had a sleepy moment. He slept quite deeply, breathed smoothly, and smiled as if he was dreaming a good dream.

Ma Linglong glanced at the road map: "I don't need a map, I set up the escape place when I came here." The blueprint clearly depicts the layout of the base, their locations, and the yellow sand hell outside the base .

There is a circle marked with a special symbol in the middle of the blueprint. It is the only oasis, which is quite far away from the base.

"In case of an emergency, who can tell?"

"It's enough to have you leading the way."

"Did you forget, I'm going to die." Ethan said without hesitation, "I can't leave with you, but I hope you can save me for free. I don't have any savings."

"You know I never trade at a loss." Ma Linglong said indifferently.

"For Merlin's sake, you will do it." Ethan smiled and talked with her about his impending death, calmly and without regret.

Ma Linglong stared blankly at the rusty iron door, as if she could burn a hole out of it with her eyes: "Maybe I was wrong, maybe you won't die." Her voice With a slight tremor, which might also be caused by the medicine making her throat inflamed, Ma Linglong's icy voice conveyed extreme helplessness.

Of course she wouldn't go astray, until now, there was that figure behind Ethan.

"I know you can't be wrong, you are a genius witch of Hogwarts, the one who survived the death curse of the Dark Lord." Ethan took off his glasses frame, rubbed the bridge of his nose, he could almost predict that he would How to die tragically, even if he has not learned the magic course of predicting the future, "Linglong, I am sorry that I can't walk out of the cave with you, but you understand that the purpose of my coming here is not here, and I have no intention of leaving alive. I didn't even think that I could be in the same room with Tony. Of course there is also you, Linglong, I have no regrets at all."

Ma Linglong fell silent, and she stood in front of her old friend, as if she had returned to that night ten years ago, when she was as powerless as she is now facing everything she faced.The bodies of Lily and James lay at her feet, their lives frozen in the middle of the night, powerless.

Everyone said that she was a genius and a hero. She made outstanding contributions in the battle against Voldemort. However, she couldn't even keep her most important friend.

"I will do the most intense ritual for you for free." After a long time, Ma Linglong said slowly, as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you." Ethan tentatively cautiously, "Actually, there is something I have to tell you in advance." He paused, "I changed your Polyjuice Potion to something else."

"what?"

"I added some ingredients to it. It is no longer a transformation potion, but a solution that explodes when it encounters air. You taught me how to make an explosion potion, and there are those materials just outside the cave." Ethan After finishing speaking, he added fearfully, "Will you still give me free rituals?"

Ma Linglong looked at him in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that a mushroom had suddenly grown on his face. She wanted to curse, but she didn't.Because it is very likely that she will say a fierce spell, and then all the surrounding metal pieces will fly up and plunge into Ethan's skin. Ma Linglong knows that anything she says now will turn into a spell and cause a commotion.

It's as if she can no longer say "bring the red envelope" in front of her elders when she visits relatives in the New Year, because money will really fly into her hands from unknown places.

Ma Linglong had already raised the question "Isn't your brain full?" just now, but her rationality forced her to suppress the words again. After all, Ma Linglong didn't really want to see Ethan's head. There will be a corner missing in the future.

She walked quickly to the corner where the concealment spell was cast, intending to lift the lid of the medicine jar.

"No, don't open it, it will explode!" Ethan yelled nervously, "I'm really sorry."

"If I had a wand, I'd turn you into a duck." Marring said through gritted teeth, yes, she could already smell the smell, it was similar to Polyjuice Potion but it wasn't.

No wonder Ethan has been volunteering these days to say that he will be in charge of boiling the medicine, saying "I'm going to die, I want to experience what it's like to be a wizard before I die."

"It's a good thing you didn't."

"But I can still make it difficult for you." However, Ma Linglong did not take unnecessary revenge in the end. A few seconds later, she let out a long and low sigh, her body became more and more limp and uncomfortable due to the continuous deformation for several weeks Enduring, she found a slightly cleaner place and sat down, her whole body was filled with exhaustion after extreme excitement, "You don't have to do this."

She knew his intentions. Ethan wanted to die with the terrorists. The reason he frequently went into and out of the cave these days must be to find alternative materials for making blasting potions. The mountains outside the house are rich in minerals, and he can always find something useful.Ethan is a wizard after all, and he has learned everything Ma Linglong knows. If Ethan is not a squib, he is also very talented in magic.

Especially in terms of refining medicine, Ethan used a metal in his hometown to refine it into gold powder. Even a real wizard may not be able to do it for everyone, but he did it.Ethan was the most powerful squib that Ma Linglong had ever met. To be honest, she always felt that Ethan, who was a squib, was a huge loss to the wizarding world.

"If I don't do this, if I don't destroy those weapons outside, everything I have encountered will continue to others." Ethan said.

"I shouldn't have taught you so much." Ma Linglong responded.

"Yes, but it's too late." Ethan smiled. "I've made up my mind a long time ago. From the time you said you would make compound soup, their formulas are very close. I know how to avoid your sight."

Ethan was able to deceive Ma Linglong not because he was better than her in potions. Although Ma Linglong's potion scores were not the highest among the students who tested at that time, they were still outstanding enough.During her time at Hogwarts, she had already researched many recipes on how to use the resources of the Muggle world instead of magic materials to make potions.Such an invention has brought great help to those wizards who have been in the Muggle world all year round. They don't have to worry all day long, worrying that they will not be able to make urgently needed potions because of the lack of materials at hand.

For this reason, Ma Linglong also received an authority medal from the Ministry of Magic. In the seventh grade, she published a short book that was not very thick, specifically introducing the uses of Muggle plants and ores.

It's just that Muggle materials are no better than those in the wizarding world, and potions made with substitutes are definitely not as effective as the original formula, and they are only used for the relief of wizards abroad.

Ma Linglong lowered her head, how could she expect Ethan to do this, she believed that Ethan was as firm as she believed that Snape was not a Death Eater: "You ruined my plan." But she couldn't Say the slightest reproach to him, "You make me feel at a loss."

"Trust Tony."

"What did you say?"

"Give him trust, Linglong, Tony will definitely take you away..."

Ethan's words were interrupted by the sound of heavy and hurried footsteps, and the instant fear in his eyes made Ma Linglong feel nervous.The small window of the iron door was pulled open vigorously, making a sharp sliding sound, and a terrorist came out of the small window and shouted loudly in Arabic: "Everyone stand up!"

The iron door was pushed open with a bang, and seven or eight militants rushed in with the most advanced assault rifles.

Stark woke up from his slumber, and the violent loud noise interrupted his dream. He only had a second to react before rolling over from the hard plank bed, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes.He stood motionless with his hands clasped behind his head like Ethan, Stark closed his eyes, he was not fully awake, his upper body was a little wobbly.

He pretended to secretly look for the "Mark" blueprint, but fortunately, it was pressed on another piece of paper.

At first Stark didn't pay attention to it, until he saw what was pressed on it, he was terrified. It was even more terrifying than the design drawing. The drawing of "Mark" was extremely clever, and it was impossible for anyone who was not an expert to find out. The conspiracy of the three of them.

But that picture, God, not a blind person can see that it is a detailed escape route map!

Stark first exchanged glances with Ethan, and then he got a positive response from the other party, and cold sweat suddenly poured from head to toe.

Ma Linglong didn't worry about it, or rather, she was stunned by what she saw, and she didn't have time to think about the possibility that the road map might bring them three, or two of them.

Terrorists will give Stark a lot of favor, after all.

It was a man who was obviously not from the Middle East. He slowly entered the house from among a group of gunmen. The sharp and vicious eyes of jackals first fell on Stark, followed by Ethan. It was obvious that Ma Linglong was not there. Within the range of the man's target, he just skipped over her.

The man walked forward slowly. There was an inconspicuous scar on the top of his hairless head. He turned the metal ring on his right ring finger. The center of the ring looked like a round target at first glance, and the silver reflection was extremely cold.

The symbol looked sinister. It was the crest of the Ten Commandments, its intertwined patterns forming a hollow eye that stared cruelly and slyly at the restless three inside the house.

"Raza." The bald man said in a low voice, "My name, I am responsible for the peace of this mountain range." His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his ruthless eyes scanned everything on the opposite side.

Stark and Ethan looked at each other again, and then they realized that the bearded man was just a walk-on, and this guy was the ruthless one, who had been silently monitoring every move of everyone in the cave.

This man who called himself Raza was recognized by Ma Linglong. He used to be a murderer who hunted down senior wizards and took their wands. He used black magic to convert the power in the wand into his body to become stronger. He is A well-known dark wizard, but was imprisoned in Azkaban prison 20 years ago.

Ma Linglong would never admit it wrong. She had read all the prisoners' documents at the site of the Auror exam, and there was still an indelible mark on Raza's neck after being imprisoned.

Now that he actually appeared in this place, he must have successfully escaped from prison, and he didn't even bother to change his name.

Ma Linglong wondered thoughtfully: So Sirius can also...

The author has something to say: [Azkaban Prison]: A wizard prison in the HP world.

The reason why Azkaban is mentioned is mainly to connect with the later HP line.
