Chapter 22 Questioning

This news immediately woke up the dazed Regulus.

"Kreacher searched for days and nights, from London to Leicestershire, and then to Derbyshire, and finally found Remus Lupin in a small village in North Yorkshire," Kreacher groaned. Say, "Remus Lupine works as a waiter in a Muggle tavern."

"Huh?" Regulus was very confused.

Although he was not familiar with him, he knew that Lupine was a prefect of Gryffindor and a good friend of Sirius.

Neither of these two titles can be expected by mediocre people, which also proves that Remus Lupin - at least in his student days - is an excellent wizard.

Why would an excellent wizard end up working as a busboy in a Muggle pub?

Or does he have something to hide?So you want to deliberately stay away from the wizarding world?

Regulus quickly concluded that something was wrong with Lupine.

He opened his briefcase, began to prepare necessities, and decided to rush to Yorkshire immediately to find out the matter.

Because relying on Kreacher to keep tabs on him for a long time is not foolproof. Once discovered by Lupine, it may be dangerous to Kreacher. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, the problem must be solved quickly without Lupine being prepared.

He put aside the essential magic potions such as white essence, invigorating potions, and vitality tonics, and took out a crystal bottle containing clear and transparent truth serum.

"I hope I won't need this." Regulus thought for a moment and brought the Veritaserum.

Then, he took out two daggers from the briefcase and weighed them a few times.

The dagger is made of silver, gleaming with cold light, very sharp, and exquisitely made. The blade is engraved with ancient magic inscriptions, and the handle is decorated with the coat of arms of the Black family.

These two daggers were a birthday gift from Bellatrix when he came of age at the age of 17.

According to Bellatrix, she personally permanently attached powerful dark magic to it, which prevented the wound from healing and could not be cured unless someone used a unique counter-spell.

"Rael, I hope you will make good use of them and fight for the Dark Lord! Let them drink the blood of Muggles, Mudbloods and traitors!" Bella had said this when she handed the dagger to him.

Regulus had seen Bella's strength. In addition to her well-known magic power and ruthlessness, she also had a unique trick, and her skill of flying knives with perfect accuracy was simply superb.

Once struck by such a dagger with black magic, even a powerful wizard will be cursed and seriously injured.

After all, no one could have imagined that members of the Black family, who always flaunted themselves as pure and noble, would be proficient in such Muggle fighting methods.

Including Sirius, who is tall, burly, and strong. Sometimes when he teaches students who have conflicts with them in school, just using his fists is enough.

In Sirius's words: "Those losers are not worthy of letting me use spells at all."

Sometimes, Regulus would feel that it was a bit of a waste to devote all his inherited athletic talent to Quidditch.

After much deliberation, he finally put the dagger in the pocket where he had also cast the Traceless Stretching Charm.And decided not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

After packing up, Regulus took Kreacher and returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place directly through the fireplace in the office.

Then set out from there and rush all the way to your destination.

In North Yorkshire, on a path at dusk, a tall and thin man wearing a tattered robe was hurriedly walking.

Judging from his appearance, he was still very young, but his hair was already gray, and there were a few faint bloodstains on his pale face. The longest one ran from his left forehead across his eyes and bridge of his nose to his right cheek.It made his haggard appearance even more strange.

He walked faster and faster, and the direction became more and more remote. Finally, at a deserted fork in the road, the man stopped under a big tree and began to mutter to himself.

"For many years, my job was to hang out with dangerous people, investigating their affairs while hiding my own whereabouts. I'm proud to say that I was successful at it. But you... you know what, you The tracking technology needs to be improved.”

At this point, the man pulled out his wand and turned around suddenly.

About three meters in front of him, Regulus, also tall, thin and pale, wearing a green robe, was staring at him and said with a smile: "That may be because I have no intention of hiding myself."

"You came here specifically to see me? But I'm sorry, I don't know you." The man still raised his wand vigilantly, with a trace of confusion on his face.

He felt that Regulus looked a bit familiar, a bit like someone he knew very well.

"But I know you, Remus Lupin. We need to talk."

"I seem to have seen you somewhere. Who are you? Was that house elf sent by you?" Lupine's expression gradually became serious, and he asked several questions in succession.

Sure enough, Lupine had discovered Kreacher long ago, and Regulus couldn't help but secretly be glad that he didn't let Kreacher keep a close eye on him for a long time.

"I will tell you after you answer my question." Regulus spoke coldly and also pulled out his wand.

"Today...I'm afraid not. I have...I have something urgent." Lupine glanced to the west and rejected Regulus's proposal.

"It must be today. It's not easy to find you. I don't have that much time. As for missing you, I will try to make up for it." Regulus waved his wand, and a faint wave of magic quickly spread out around him. , covering the two of them.

Lu Ping's heart sank. Regulus used the anti-Apparition spell to disrupt the area. He originally planned to disapparate and run away when he was not prepared, but this failed.

"Answer me a few questions, this is very important." Regulus reiterated.

"I promise you, after these few days, I will definitely answer all your questions, but now I have to leave! Don't force me!" Under the dim sky, Lu Ping looked anxious and flustered, and his face became even paler.

However, in the eyes of Regulus, this behavior became more and more suspicious.

"You are guilty."

"I don't deny it! Time is running out, you must let me go! Otherwise it will be very dangerous for you and the villagers here! You don't understand!" Lu Ping was almost shouting.

"I can understand that you are threatening me?" Regulus had no intention of letting Lupine go.

"In that case... I'm sorry." Lu Ping's panicked expression suddenly became firm, and he chanted the spell in a sighing voice, "The mist is misty!"

The sun had already dropped below the horizon, the light was extremely dim, and the fog was thick, making the surroundings suddenly invisible.Several tree roots also became alive, using the cover of thick fog to wrap around Regulus's feet.

Regulus easily cut off the tree roots with magic spells, and then added a hurricane spell to blow away the thick fog that shrouded the surroundings.

Lupine was gone.

But Regulus was confident that these few seconds were not enough for Lupine to escape the range of the anti-disapparation spell.

He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, green flames were already burning in his pupils.

"What a useful ability." Regulus quickly locked Lupin's position and chased after him.
