Chapter 376 Jokunda's Marathon Training Team
After a week-long journey on the sea, Jokunda's legs finally touched the ground again. This simple action is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment for her cold and numb legs.
Feeling reassured that her feet were on the ground, she fell off the broom and lay in the cold mud by the sea, letting the broom fall into the puddles and get covered in mud.
Her chest was heaving violently, and she breathed in the damp, cold, salty air with great gulps.
The first time she rode a broom across the Atlantic Ocean was during the summer vacation, the sea breeze was mild, and she also brought a large bag of food as a supplement for the journey, but the weather had turned cold at this time, and the sea in autumn was not much warmer than in winter. At this moment, she was suffering from hunger and cold, but she didn't even have the energy to get some food.
Even so, she kept her eyes on the sky, afraid that a silver bug would spit that strange red ray at her.
"Sure enough, people still can't escape their comfort zone." A wizard wearing thick glasses squatted behind a rock not far away, holding a yellowed old newspaper and said, "Even if it's the second time flying, she They also chose the same route, and even the arrangement of physical strength seems to be different."
"Johnny, wouldn't it be a great achievement for us to rush to catch her now?" His partner raised his wand eagerly and said, "Beat the dog in the water, the perfect tactic!"
"Are you crazy Joseph? Our purpose is to chase her, not catch her!" Johnny, wearing glasses, held his companion down and warned, "I seriously suspect that you just like deserts, that's why you keep doing this kind of thing?"
"What are you talking about? How could I be the kind of person who cheated my friends?" Joseph retorted, "I have been loyal and courageous since I was born... But speaking of it, do you think magic cactus can be eaten? I heard They like to protect themselves with poisonous needles..."
"Hush!" Johnny raised his head and looked at the sea surface when Jokunda came. A triangular cloud sneaked out of the clouds and waved. Seeing this, he took out a booklet and posted it somewhere. Ticked the item and said, "The surface of the sea has been cleared, and she can't turn back."
"What about the other two sides?"
"Alright."
Just as the two of them were communicating, the signal from the north and south directions came in time.
"It's our turn."
Johnny smiled, and stretched out his wand to point at the waves not far from Jokunda. The waves suddenly increased and hit Jokunda, but she seemed to be dead and did not respond.
After a while, when the tide receded, Jokunda sat up on the ground, when a bundle of driftwood hit her in the surf just now, and she grabbed the wood, which seemed to be lost by someone, and it was still usable after drying.
Tremblingly, she took out her carefully protected wand, which was not wet at all, from her bosom, and swung it vigorously.
"Blazing flames!"
A palm-sized spark spewed out from the tip of the staff, not even as effective as the flame spell used by a first-year little wizard. Drifting at sea made her too weak to even use this simple magic well. On to the driftwood, after struggling for a moment, it was completely extinguished.
"Fiendfire wouldn't have such a problem." Not far away, Joseph rubbed his chin and commented, "And daily spells like drying spells don't work?"
"Maybe you are the only one who knows the Drying Charm."
Johnny complained mercilessly that Joseph used to be a member of the Krakow central logistics wizard, and his main job was to help his colleagues wash clothes, and he was a master at using the drying spell.
They were the people who were ordered to intercept Jokunda, and most of them were Nelson's former subordinates in the center.
Not long ago, Penguin took the camera gifted by Nelson and took a chicken feather as an arrow, and swaggered to Nurmengard to ask Andre for his hands, "in order to complete the secret mission that Mr. Under the instruction of Rotten and Grindelwald, Andre had no choice but to transfer the wizards who followed Nelson from the center to the UK, replacing Nurmengard's expatriate agency in the UK.
Under Nelson's influence, these wizards are extremely lazy, and their overall style is very different from other wizards in Nurmengard, but their work efficiency is extremely high, only occasionally there will be some strange behaviors, but overall, It's also a solid team.
Johnny, who was ordered to wait here for Jokunda to enter the net, was the protector who was tricked out by Nelson in Grimmauld Square. He was in charge in person in order to avoid being sent to the Sahara desert.
"Shall we go out now?" Joseph rubbed his hands, "I've been squatting here for a long time, and my pants are a little wet."
"Go out now, and let Jokunda Sykes run away as planned?" Johnny asked helplessly, "Do you believe it? She has run out of oil and has to wait for her to rest for a while, otherwise she will escape." The story of the day of birth is not real at all."
"Isn't it easier to grab it?"
"Our purpose is not her, but the reason why she came to the United States anyway. We want to help Master Wertling find what he wants. For this, we must give Jokunda Sykes enough motivation. Johnny said, "I'll throw two fish over to her later, and I'll have the strength to run after I'm full."
"What if she really runs away?"
"We have triple insurance, you know, our principle is never to fight an unprepared battle."
"No, when did we have the principles?" Joseph wondered, "Didn't we get together last month? You fought behind my back?"
"I told you at the meeting yesterday morning," Johnny shrugged, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you."
After trying hard, Jokunda finally ignited the bundle of driftwood, and the firelight reflected her cloudy pupils, and the warm flame awakened the little animal in her arms, the black sniffing bird called the steel urn. Sniff got out from the neckline and hugged her neck, expecting to use his soft belly to warm his master's exposed skin.
It held a sparkling Gallon tightly in its claws, becoming the only bright color in this gloomy picture.
"Gangbang, do you think I will die?"
Gangzheng shook his head, and even wanted to give the Garon held in his claws to Jokunda, as if to say, "Xixi has money, and Xixi will protect you."
But it didn't know that the Garon from Nelson was reporting the location of Jokunda to the surrounding wizards all the time, and they judged the location of Jokunda based on Garon's movements.
"Oh...if only I had chosen a hippogriff..."
Jokunda shook her head annoyed. The two lively fish were washed up by the new waves and just fell into her campfire. She blinked, rubbed and sniffed, and said, "Thank you for the gift of nature."
"Should we do it?" Joseph patted his buttocks, "Damn it, it's so wet here, my pants are up to my ass."
"Wait a minute," Johnny saw that Jokunda had eaten enough and was drying clothes by the fire, and that Nixiu was gnawing on her leftover fish bones. He was a little surprised, "How can I Feeling that there is a problem with intelligence? How can a person who loves magical animals let his pet eat fish bones, let alone a sniff, isn't she afraid that snuff will be stuck to death?"
"The information was provided by Lord Wertning." Joseph said quietly.
"But it makes sense when you think about it. After all, for domestic magical animals, teeth grinding has always been a relatively lacking activity." Johnny raised his wand, "Dry your ass! We're ready to go!"
...
September 1st.
Under the organization of Mr. Penguin, we successfully helped Miss Jokunda Sykes complete a 50-mile cross-country run as a warm-up, close to two full marathons.
We will strictly abide by Lord Wertning's instructions of chasing, not attacking, and only disturbing. When he landed on his broomstick, we blocked the north and south directions. Unsurprisingly, Jokunda chose the same route as she did when she crossed the Atlantic, and successfully landed in the venue of the saints gathering. After a simple welcome ceremony, we inspired the magic left by the saints back then. Curse, the plan to shrink the encirclement has achieved the desired effect, Cho Kunda finally chose to continue westward escape route.
But the broomstick she was carrying was shattered by the second group's negligence, and we're currently discussing a reasonable way to hand her a broomstick without being noticed.
It is expected that within two weeks, we will expel her to the Great Lakes region. After fully exercising her ability to escape underwater, the vast Canada will be her final playground.
There will be a cold winter in the north, and until Lord Wertling gets what he wants, we'll have Chokunda firmly north of the Great Lakes.
Currently being monitored by the fourth group of five people in rotation, Jokunda performed well, in line with the iconic image of a panicked fugitive. But she didn't show the attitude of asking for help or wanting to find a certain item. In the afternoon work report, Master Penguin told us to increase our efforts.
In addition, due to the omissions in the work of the three groups, Armando Dippet noticed the whereabouts of our personnel, and we applied to Nurmengard for new camouflage props in order to ensure that there will be no mistakes in tomorrow's surveillance.
Summary: The plan is perfect, but there are problems in the implementation process. I look forward to Mr. Wertning's visit and guidance.
...
"Woo..."
The Hogwarts Express slowly departed from King's Cross Station as in previous years, passing several trains parallel to it, but did not appear in the eyes of any passenger in those trains.
Adele leaned on the window and looked out, the speed of the train was getting faster and faster, and the silhouettes of buildings reflected by her pupils passed by like snowflakes.
There are only two people in this box, Nelson and Adele. One is looking out of the window, and the other is looking at the people looking at the scenery. Everyone has different colors in their eyes.
Such frozen time always passes quickly.
"What are you looking at?" Adele turned her head and asked curiously when the train was driving on the vast field, "Is there anything dirty on my face? It was stained when I passed through that wall just now ?"
"No," Nelson shook his head with a smile. "I was just thinking that my uncle would be very happy to see you. He has liked children since he was a child."
"Huh?" Adele tilted her head and asked, "Uncle, do you have any younger siblings?"
"No, he did it for—"
"Snapped!"
The door was pulled open from the outside, and Tom sat down panting with an empty paper bag.
"What's the matter?" Nelson looked at Tom who seemed to have run a long-distance race. "Did you have a fight with someone?"
"It's just to perform the duties of the prefect." Tom shrugged, sat down beside Adele, picked up the grass juice on the table and drank it, wiped his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I really Curious, why the Ravenclaws chose such a far away position, I almost ran the entire carriage."
"What did you go for?"
"Didn't I buy a sweater for Chrissy before? I forgot to ask Mytel to bring it to her," Tom shrugged. "I didn't remember it until I got in the car, so I went to look for it."
"Then why don't you just give it to Christian?"
"Trouble, we are so busy, how can we be free?"
"Look at what you're saying," Nelson teased, handing Adele a pack of chocolate frogs, "doesn't it make you feel free to run from here to the fifteenth car?"
Tom's expression was a little stiff, and he quickly dismantled a chocolate frog to cover up his embarrassment, but the chocolate frog escaped from the gap he tore open, and he said incomprehensible words one after another, what "prefects just want to patrol the carriage" , something like "Professor Slughorn asked me about the course selection", which caused Nelson to burst into laughter, and the inside and outside of the car was full of happy air.
"But Tom, I saw Christian before I got on the train," Nelson blinked. "As far as I know, she's sitting in the eighth car. If you go to the fifteenth car, you will definitely meet her."
"..."
The chocolate frog jumped up in Tom's face defiantly, and he had to swallow it in a gulp.
"Who is this?" Adele took out a picture from the chocolate frog's packaging bag in time, and held it in front of Nelson, alleviating Tom's embarrassment, "I seem to have seen him in that place."
"Oh?" Nelson took a closer look, "good luck, this is Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, you will be able to meet him at the sorting ceremony tonight, of course, if you are lucky, you can see him earlier .”
"Speaking of which, my chocolate frog picture is still missing." Tom was a little dissatisfied. "I don't understand why a crappy wizard like Professor Mellors can occupy a place."
Nelson blinked.
"Come on, Tom, I've got inside information."
"Please change into school robes as soon as possible, your luggage..."
The train announcement started urging the students. It was ten minutes before Hogwarts. Nelson and Tom left the cubicle to let Adele change.
"By the way, I just got Hagrid." Standing in the corridor, Tom said suddenly.
"Um?"
"He said that the eggshell seemed to be a dragon's egg, but it had some features of a chimera or even other magical animals."
"Mixed blood?"
"It's unreasonable to mix so much."
