Chapter 153 Tracking
Chapter 153 Tracking
"Then do you know that some time ago, there were any suspicious people in Diagon Alley or Knockturn Alley? Similar to the dark wizard." Anduin asked Tom.
"Dark wizards? You mean Death Eaters?" Tom glanced at Anduin, wondering why he cared about such an issue, but said truthfully: "Now Diagon Alley is full of death eaters. The arrest warrant, those dark wizards haven't had time to hide, how come here, as for Knockturn Alley, I don't know much, the situation there is complicated, and most of the wizards going there will not pass by me, most of them come from Bockin Bock's Fireplace Go."
Anduin nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I'm just a little curious, let's talk to you for today, I have to go shopping in Diagon Alley, and I will have a good time with you when I have time." get together."
After finishing speaking, he walked through the bar hall and walked to the backyard patio.
And Tom watched Anduin leave. The young wizard has changed a lot in the past two years, and from the conversation just now, he noticed that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
After passing through the courtyard, Anduin skillfully opened the stone gate of Diagon Alley, and the streets of Diagon Alley appeared very lively, in stark contrast to the deserted scene three years ago.
People came and went in the alleys, and many wizards set up temporary stalls on both sides of the street, and the commercial atmosphere was very strong.
"It seems that the wizarding world is quite prosperous in peacetime."
Anduin glanced around with great interest, then walked to the side of the road, and took out a compass-shaped prop from his body to observe something.
"If the results are correct, Yaxley should be hiding in Diagon Alley, and he can hide here safe and sound, either because of the protection of his family, or because other Death Eaters are taking him in. In this way, no matter what No matter how you harvest, it will not be too little." Anduin muttered with a sneer.
He had manipulated Yaxley during the pre-Christmas fight, implanting a newly developed soft needle-like magic positioning in his shoes, clothes, belt, and even his underwear. It can be combined with the compass-style 'tracking disc' in his hand. There are several pointers on the 'tracking disc', each of which points to a locator, and can roughly display the distance. Now all the pointers point to the same direction, the same distance, then it must be Yaxley who is tracking.
Anduin walked to a deserted alley next to him, took out a dark cloak and put it on to cover his face, and then walked towards the direction indicated on the tracking disk.
Along the streets of Diagon Alley, past Gringotts, and on the north side of Diagon Alley, he found his goal.
It was a simple stone building with three floors, separated from the buildings on both sides by a one-meter-wide path. There was no pavement on the first floor, and there was no company signboard. It didn't look like a commercial building, more like a A private residence.
But this is the location facing the street in Diagon Alley. Although it is not the busiest front half, it is also a good location in the middle. If it is a commercial company like Momoran Books, it will generally choose a building that is not facing the street. After all Rents in Diagon Alley are not cheap.
You don't open a store or a company, and you don't care about the rent issue. Is it a private property belonging to a certain family?After thinking for a while, Anduin made his own judgment.
Standing opposite this building, the pointer on the tracking disk in his hand pointed directly at this building. After moving to the small alley next to the house, the pointer also changed its direction as it moved, and it was still pointing to this small building.
It seems right, this is it, but the door here is closed, and I don't know what's inside, so I can't go in rashly, I still have to collect some information first.
After picking a few points around the house, Anduin began to observe the surroundings. On both sides of the house was Ms. Opposite is the Floo Pom Company that produces Floo powder, the gate is closed, Floo Pom is next to Gringotts in the direction of the Leaky Cauldron, and the Diagon Alley Cafe is on the other side.
Through the window of Diagon Alley Cafe, Anduin saw an acquaintance, it was Emmeline Vance. At this time, Emmeline was sitting by the window and drinking coffee leisurely, but her eyes would occasionally look sideways. Yaxley's house is tucked away opposite.
"Oh? The Aurors, or the Order of the Phoenix has noticed this too. It seems that the induction was correct that day. Dumbledore has also set his sights on Yaxley. Could it be that he also wants to follow the clues?"
Anduin pulled the cloak in front of him, hiding his face deeper.
"But why don't these Aurors just break the door and arrest people? Is there anything special about the owner of this house?" After thinking about it, he thought that the information was still insufficient, and he had to find a way to collect some information.
Let's start with the building adjoining the house. There's Emmeline in the coffee shop, which he doesn't want to be exposed, and there's only Lady Primpnell's Beauty Pharmacy.
Making up his mind, Anduin pushed open the door of the beauty pharmacy.
Ms. Purnell has been in a good mood recently. Since the lifting of martial law in Diagon Alley, the business in the store has finally returned to normal levels, and even the number of customers has increased.
She was tending the counter when she heard the bell ringing at the door, she was overjoyed, and there was another business coming, but when she turned around, she saw a wizard who covered herself tightly with a cloak.
This is not surprising, there are many witches who drink potions at home and make a mess of their faces. As shown on her signboard, helping witches solve their tumors and troubles is what she is best at.
"Welcome, dear lady, you seem to need the help of beauty potions, please don't be shy, no matter how terrible your face is, you can solve your troubles here..."
Just when Purnell was about to use her own standard speech to fool the guests, she found that the person who pulled down the cloak was actually a young handsome boy, which made her stop talking for a while.
This is a man?Or is it a lady with a tougher appearance?Or is it a fool who drank the wrong potion and turned himself into such a fool?To be honest, she can see what kind of person she really is. She has even seen a witch who made herself into a cat face.
Just as she was thinking about what vocabulary to use to address the guest, the other party spoke first.
"Hello, I'm here to pick out gifts for the elders in my family. Do you have any recommendations?" Anduin asked the boss looking at him in a daze.
