"Sir, the guy in the black wizard's robe is in the house opposite, counting the Smith who was tied up on Upper Harbor Street, there were exactly ten people in there at first......"

In the middle of St Martin's Road in Canterbury, Maca arrived on the second floor of a house with Mondigus and the old man from Learnport Street.

Right now, the three of them were sitting by the window on the second floor with a wizard who was at the forefront of the stalking, looking through the gap in the curtain at the house that passed by.

"You mean 'at the beginning'?" Glancing at the window, Maca frowned and asked, "That is, someone went in later...... Or have you ever been out? ”

He asked, then turning his head to look at the wizard who was eating by watching.

To be honest, this guy has a scruffy face and a somewhat round figure, and if you judge from his appearance alone, no one would guess that he is actually a pretty good tracking expert.

However, Maca knows that this "expert" is by no means in vain.

From the moment Maca first arrived, he had discovered no less than a dozen warnings, defenses, or hidden spells from this makeshift peep.

Those spells were all over the house, and he had almost every inch of the floor, walls, and even ceilings in it.

As soon as someone steps into this place without "saying hello", he will know immediately and will not hesitate to stay away.

"A best tracking expert is bound to be the best anti-tracking expert." Maca had heard this phrase from Kingsley.

And as far as what Maca sees now, this slightly chubby bearded man does have some real skills.

"Oh, sir, that's right!" The guy smiled and said, "Four people left in the middle of the way...... Well, to be precise, it should be described as 'running away'! ”

"Escape?" Maka said with a little confusion, "Is anyone chasing them?" ”

"No, to be honest, I'm a little puzzled by that—" the bearded man shook his head, touching his belly, "someone must be chasing, for the four black-robed men fled in a hurry, looking back as they ran...... However, the chaser didn't seem to follow. ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then added:

"And what's even more puzzling is that a group of people have entered the house before and after, and they haven't even captured the reaction of the phantom manifestation during that period!"

As he said this, the bearded man patted an alchemy instrument on the table, which was the prop he used to detect the Apparition Charm.

"So, if I had to say it, there's only one answer—" At this point, the bearded man slapped his stomach and spread his hands.

"That guy in the black robe has got infighting!"

"It can't be, right?" After hearing this, Mondongues, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject, "They kidnapped someone before they did anything specific from beginning to end, and then they fought among themselves?" ”

"Hmph, what's impossible about that?" The obscene old man on the other side pursed his lips, "I can see a lot of infighting, and there are any reasons!" Don't say that you tied up someone...... Even the so-called 'partners' who just got together and wanted to do something immediately killed each other! ”

"Wow!" When Montungus heard this, he immediately grinned.

"He's right as far as the infighting is concerned," Maka nodded, "but as long as you haven't fully figured out what's going on, it's all speculation." ”

With that, he looked at the bearded man again and continued, "Do you have any idea where the four people who escaped are going?" ”

"Well, of course!" The bearded man said with a natural expression, "I'm not the rookie who stared at people on the black market at the beginning, and I can lose ...... in a fully enclosed space with only one entry and exit location."

Halfway through speaking, he waved his hand, his face full of confidence.

"Don't worry!" The bearded man said to Maca, "I already let a buddy bite the tail of those four people!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Maka bowed his head and said, "This half is a deposit, and when everyone catches it all, you can go to him to get the rest of the expenses." ”

As he spoke, he took out a money pouch sewn of fine linen from his waist, placed it on the table, and pushed it forward. Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Montungus beside him, and explained the follow-up things clearly.

After all, after he caught someone, he didn't have time to pay the final payment.

Seeing this, the bearded man quickly rubbed his hands, and then gently pulled the tether on the money bag. Immediately, a brilliant golden light made him smile with his eyebrows.

"Generous sir, I won't say anything! If you have any good errands like this in the future, please be sure to leave it to me Fat Mouse! The bearded man picked up the money bag and said happily, "Please believe me, just keep an eye on the ability to investigate, my fat mouse thinks that he will not lose to anyone." ”

"No problem," said Maca casually, "don't say I'm generous, since I'll pay you this amount, it means that your work is worth the price." ”

With that, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"You're all staying here, and I'm ...... Let's go to the opposite side first......"

Not long after, the three of Montungus, who were in this room, saw that Maca had walked through the deserted streets, and casually opened the door of the opposite house and disappeared into the doorway.

"And he just went in?" The bearded man said subtly.

"It's okay," Mundungus said with a shrug, "our leader is no ordinary wizard, and I haven't seen anyone he wants to catch!" ”

"Donger, although you have always refused to say, I have asked several times!" The obscene old man couldn't help asking, "What is the origin of your 'head'?" How can you let this wall-grass stay with him for so long? ”

"Hey, I won't tell you when you said it, so I'll say it now?" Mundungus waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense! ”

As the three of them were talking, they heard an explosion across the street, and then they saw that the entire house had collapsed in half.

Almost at the same time, the phantom shapeshift detector on the table glowed red.

"Someone used the Apparition Shifter." The bearded man reacted immediately.

At about the second he spoke, the masonry of the ruins of the opposite house churned, and a figure came out of the pile of bricks with something.

The three people in the room immediately took a closer look, who could it be if it wasn't Maca?

Soon, Maca dragged a guy dressed in Muggle costume back into the room and threw him to the floor.

It can be seen that although he was crushed by the collapsed masonry, the hooded cloak used to hide his identity on his body was not only not damaged, but even the dust was not stained.

When Montungus and Bearded saw that Maca had left the man on the floor, they both leaned in to try to check, but Maca waved at them both.

"Don't look at it, it's dead."

"So......" Mundungus hesitated, "is this one of the black-robed wizards?" ”

"Probably!" Maca thought for a moment and said, "When I entered, there were six people in the room, including Smith, just as I had expected at first. It's just that I have to say that I underestimated their quality and determination......"

After that, he gave a general account of what had just happened when he had entered.

To put it simply, the moment the five people in it saw him, one of them pulled out his wand and started his hand directly.

In fact, when Maca saw that they were both dressed in Muggle attire, she had the idea that the other party would try to fool herself first.

But he didn't expect that the other party's reaction would be so fierce, and as soon as he came up, someone dragged him without hesitation.

Immediately after, it became obvious that the remaining four members of the team took Smith to use the Transfiguration Charm, and decisively chose to flee while Maca was entangled.

However, in the case of the time, this alone was not enough to get the rest out of the way.

At the same time as he found that the other party had activated the Phantom Transformation Spell, Maca immediately waved his backhand, and a Divine Blade Shadowless Spell instantly expanded and flew towards the space that suddenly appeared.

The spell Snape had created was invisible, extremely lethal, and terrifyingly fast, making it suitable for such situations.

As soon as she was hit by that magic blade, Maca was sure to seriously injure at least one more, which would give him more of a chasing advantage.

However, his Divine Blade Shadowless Charm was blocked—the guy who was trying to drag him down actually blocked it with his own body when he found that he didn't have time to cast a spell to stop it!

And that guy didn't finish it after he took a powerful spell.

When he noticed that Maca wanted to reach out again, he directly waved his wand and rushed straight towards Maca again, not even caring that he was already vomiting blood from his mouth.

And then......

“…… After realizing that his companion had successfully escaped, this guy committed suicide," Maca said, gesturing to the corpse on the ground, "and his brain was stirred into a mess, and he was completely hopeless." ”

He didn't actually go into such detail, after all, he had to continue to track it down. But with just a few words from him, the situation on the scene was outlined clearly enough.

"Shhhh

After listening briefly, Mundungus couldn't help but gasp, and even the other two old oilmen secretly shook their heads.

This kind of operational efficiency and sworn heart can be said to be very rare in the wizarding world, and even Voldemort's Death Eaters were not as ruthless as these guys.

"I've checked for signs of apparition," Maka continued, suddenly, "vaguely, but somewhere in the city of London. ”
