Chapter 28 The Magic Wand Is Fast and Accurate Within Seven Steps
Footsteps sounded, leather rubbed against wood, making a creaking sound, echoing in the quiet corridor.
In the dim light, Helen saw the appearance of the visitor clearly.
With smooth blond hair, shining blue eyes and a faint smile, the witch immediately recognized this handsome boy...
Rolf Scamander!
Helen narrowed her eyes. She thought that the Aurors came to catch her, Carlos brought a group of sailors to block her, and at the very least, it was some "enthusiastic" wizard... But she really didn't expect it to be him!
Under the flickering firelight, Helen's eyes flickered, and Rolf smiled and said, "You don't have to look for it, I'm the only one here."
Helen immediately relaxed. It was just a little wizard. It was just right that she could do a job and capture him before leaving.
Such a handsome boy, whether she imprisoned him and played with him slowly, or sold him to a rich woman, could be sold for a price not lower than that of the mermaid.
But Helen was still curious: "Why are you here? Did Skander tell you anything?"
"No." Rolf shook his head and patiently explained: "Earlier, I used the Disillusionment Charm to follow Skander and quietly entered your room and witnessed your transaction... the transaction of the mermaid."
"Impossible!" Helen screamed.
She installed a magic lock on the door. It not only has defensive capabilities, but also can detect invisible wizards. The effect is stronger than the peephole.
If a wizard wearing an invisibility cloak or a Disillusionment Charm enters the room, the magic will be triggered. She relied on that thing to catch many dark wizards.
Rolf smiled. He was wearing a modified version of Voldemort's "scarf" clothes, which can effectively block the detection of magic items.
No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Dark Lord's magic?
Helen suddenly raised her wand and shot a red light. Rolf shifted his head to one side and easily avoided the coma spell.
Rolf glanced at the slightly conspicuous hole on the wall in the distance, then looked at the witch with a horrified face, and smiled: "You can't hit it even at such a close distance?"
The boy looked at the extremely embarrassed Mrs. Helen, walked forward slowly, and said with a pleasant face:
"I heard that the wand is fast at seven steps away, and the wand is fast and accurate within seven steps!
Then I will get closer, you must not let me down."
Scamander is just a child, Helen reminded herself, he can't dodge forever, as long as he hits it... the battle is over.
But no matter how Helen shot magic, Rolf could always dodge and move flexibly, and her spell always brushed against his shoulders and arms.
It wasn't long before Helen was already panting and almost out of strength, sweat running down her cheeks, blurring her eyes.
And every time the boy dodged the spell, he would deliberately shake his shoulders and taunt... making Helen tremble all over, and her heart was full of despair.
The happiest moment of hunting prey is not the moment of killing the prey, but the process of playing with it.
Just like a cat catching a mouse, it will not kill it so quickly, but will tease and torture it repeatedly.
Mrs. Helen felt like a prey now, and the boy was deliberately torturing and playing with her!
Helen was distracted, and Rolf was only one step away from her. He grabbed her arm, knocked her back, broke the wooden door, and returned to her own room.
Helen staggered and fell on the hard floor. Rolf grabbed her hair with one hand and pulled her head back, and reached for her throat with the other hand.
Helen's wand was knocked away, and she could only fight Rolf with her bare hands like a Muggle, but her nails scraped on the boy's body, just like scraping.
Helen was shocked, and she noticed that Scamander's skin turned silver-gray, like dragon scales... What kind of magic is this? !
Mrs. Helen was almost choked to the point of suffocation. She punched him one after another, but it was like hitting a thick wall.
The boy was hit many times, but he seemed to be unaware of it. Instead, Helen's fists were bleeding.
Helen suddenly raised her knees and pushed hard against Rolf's abdomen, hoping to give a fatal blow.
But she seemed to kick a stone, which was harder than anything she had ever seen.
Kacha!
The bone is broken!
Helen's leg is broken!
"..."
Helen was completely desperate. She was about to faint from the pain and begged for mercy loudly:
"Let me go, I can give you Galleons, Galleons you can't imagine!"
Rolf smiled and said, "Stupid, if I catch you, your Galleons will be mine, right?"
"..."
Helen cried and asked, "What is the grudge between you and me?"
"The mermaid you sold to the Mysterious Circus is called Misanla." Rolf grabbed Helen's hands, twisted them suddenly, and broke her arms cleanly.
"She is my friend."
Rolf stood up and dusted himself off. He looked at Helen who was about to faint, and finally whispered:
"And the trafficking of women and children... all deserved death!"
...
...
The news that the mysterious circus owner was controlled spread throughout the Mayflower the next morning.
The performance last night was very successful. Everyone was still looking forward to the mermaid, but unexpectedly, Skander was caught.
Originally, there were wizards who felt sorry, but when they heard that the Cabruo dragon was released by Skander, and he also released a fire dragon, no one sympathized with him... Instead, they wished he would die immediately!
Even though Carlos repeatedly assured everyone that this was only a possibility and that the Aurors still needed to judge the details, the passengers didn't care.
Human nature is like this. If it does not concern them, they can still stay out of it and say a few harmless and reasonable words, but if it involves their own safety, they will easily go to extremes.
People don't know whether Skander is the murderer, but fear makes them directly assume that he is the murderer and there is a danger...then eliminate the danger.
Anyway, no one wants to be on the same ship with him!
Many wizards proposed to punish Skander according to the laws of the high seas.
There are many kinds of punishments on ships. The most common one is flogging. In addition, there are "walking on the gangplank", "exile to a deserted island", and "dragging the keel" that makes people change color.
The so-called keel dragging is to use a long rope to tie the hands of the sailor who made the mistake and then throw him into the sea. Because the position where the sailor fell into the sea was too close to the hull, he would be "pressed" by the hull.
Of course, there are also wizards who proposed to use cannon and dog execution on Skander. This is obviously a wizard from the north of a peninsula.
Carlos was in a lot of trouble. He was worried that Skander would be killed by the angry passengers before he arrived in the United States.

As for Rolf, the instigator, he was not very concerned about this matter. Or rather, he had no time to care. After all, all his energy was almost drained by the half-blooded Veela.
