Sword and Magic and Taxi

You shouldn't enter the Forbidden Forest. If it weren't for the centaur escorting you, you would probably die inside. After listening to Zhao Mai's processed and weakened adventure story, Dumbledore looked worried and shook his head gently. Shaking his head: It's too dangerous there. Even experienced and specially trained wizards cannot go deep alone.

Naturally, he is my ally - Zhao Mai really wanted to say this. But he didn't need to defend himself in front of Dumbledore like a child, but took out the petrified elf: Professor, do you know whose elf this is?

Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, examined them carefully, and said, It's strange, why is there an elf in Hogwarts? What has he done that you want to petrify him?

I found and caught him. He personally admitted that he attacked Ms. Ellerbella and then petrified himself. I don't know how to do such a profound spell of petrification. Zhao Mai poked the elf stone statue: Why did he He also refuses to tell who instigated it, which is indeed very loyal. But every house elf has a fixed master, and this can always be found out.

Yes, you are right, you will always find out. Dumbledore nodded: Thank you very much for everything you have done, but I still have to say that it is too dangerous. The hidden passage on the stairs We will seal it immediately, and we will check behind all murals as soon as possible to eliminate such hidden dangers.

What about his master?

Ms. Ellerbella has just woken up. She has used the last bottle of anti-petrification ointment in the hospital. Dumbledore pointed to the petrified elf and said: If the school wants to remove his petrification, it will have to wait for a while. But we will definitely investigate who his owner is. As for you, I suggest you not to say that you have been to the Forbidden Forest. If you are punished for this, it will affect your subsequent studies and exams. In this matter, can you It would be wise to come to me directly. Now, go back to the dormitory.

Zhao Mai nodded, turned and left.

The door to the office was closed. Dumbledore looked at the petrified elf and frowned deeply: Bigby, why are you here? What kind of instructions did Grindelwald give you? He stood up. Pushing aside the astrology device that blocked his steps, he came to the cabinet where the medicine was stored. Unpetrified, unpetrified...well, there is indeed another bottle here.

Dumbledore dipped his wand in ointment and smeared it on the stone statue: Stone turns to flesh, quickly restored! A burst of light enveloped the little goblin, freeing him from petrification.

As soon as Bigby regained his mobility, he immediately began to wave his arms. The power of magic gathered on him, and he was ready to escape immediately. Stop, Bigby, I order you! Dumbledore stood opposite the elf and shouted in a low voice: You know who I am, right?

Mr. Albus Dumbledore, the master's good friend, is also Bigby's half-master. The elf bowed quickly, then rubbed his hands and said, Half-master, what are your orders?

What mission did you come to Hogwarts on?

Master won't let me tell others...

Say, I command you, and I am also your master.

Only half... The elf squatted on the ground, rubbing his hands vigorously, his eyes evasive, looking embarrassed.

Dumbledore tapped the elf on the head with his wand and said seriously: Remember, Grindelwald said that you should obey me just like you obey him.

Oh, yes, the master did say that! The elf was finally freed from the conflict, and his eyes were full of joy: The master sent me to interfere with the cram school students' studies, so that their grades will drop or they will fail to pass the exam.

Are you planning to kill students?

Oh, of course not. The master would not give such an order. The elf said, All injuries can be treated and recovered. I just received the order to scare them.

Why is this? Dumbledore couldn't understand. There may be a problem with the search for the wizard's spell, and Grindelwald first reminded him of this through a letter. After that, the two people also exchanged ideas for repairing and improving the spell through letters. Although wizards all attribute the search for the Wizard's Curse entirely to Dumbledore, he himself knew that Grindelwald also made a huge contribution.

The arrival of the tutor is the result of finding the wizard's curse. From this point of view, Grindelwald has no reason to target the tutor. And his order to the elves was only to interfer with their studies and affect their grades, which is even more strange. So what if a few tutors jump to a few levels?

What else did your master ask you to do? Dumbledore asked.

The master also told me to go get something from you after I complete the task. The task has not been completed yet, so I can't carry it out yet. Bigby straightened his body and said with an expectant smile on his face. : The master said that when I complete these two things, he will praise me.

Where to get something?

There is a place called Carnd's Corner. There is an unnamed tombstone there, and the thing inside is what I want to get. Bigby doesn't know where it is, but the owner said that I need to figure it out myself and find it, otherwise I will It’s not worthy of praise.”

Cape Carnd, is there such a place? Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table, trying to find it from his own knowledge. He eventually had to admit that Grindelwald was a more skilled wizard and more knowledgeable. Dumbledore had not the slightest impression of Cape Carnd.

No matter what your previous order was, you can no longer disturb my students now! Dumbledore ordered in a stern tone: Go back and tell your master that Hogwarts is a place for learning knowledge. No matter what plans he has, he must stay away from here, otherwise I will completely sever ties with him!

No, you can't order me to disobey the master's order. This is not good. Bigby said with a sad face: I really want to be praised by the master. That is one of the highest honors for a house elf. Tears fell from his big eyes. It flowed out and fell to the ground drop by drop.

Bigby, I am also your master, so you must obey my orders. Dumbledore's eyes softened, and he said softly: Moreover, I have a more serious and difficult task for you. You As long as you complete it, I will also praise you.

Bigby wiped away his tears, swallowed hard, rubbed his fingers and asked, What is the mission?

No matter who asks you who gave the instructions, or who is your master, you will identify the person who asked you as the master and the one who ordered you. Can you do this?

The elf looked at Dumbledore blankly, rolled his eyes several times, and then shook his head: No, I can't do it. I only have one or two masters, I don't have that many masters... I let my master down. , I won’t get compliments anymore…”

This is a test, a test to protect your master and his master's secret. Dumbledore said: You must do this, otherwise Grindelwald's life outside will be even more difficult.

Bigby beat his head hard, swaying from side to side, and finally nodded: Yes, I will try my best. I am deceiving the bad guys and protecting the master! I can do it!

Very good, and you have to remember, try to escape, leave Hogwarts, stay far away, and then go to Grindelwald and deliver my message. Do you remember? Bigby nodded. , Dumbledore said: The last thing left is to hide your body!

The wand flashed and Bigby disappeared. Dumbledore said to the air: Go away quickly and don't come back again.
