Chapter 716

Ernst is a smart and independent child, and he also has perseverance that most of his peers don't have. Before entering Hogwarts, he could move forward in a seemingly bottomless ice cave, fight against darkness and cold, and successfully reach the place he needed to go.

Now, after he has learned many spells beyond the level of the same grade by virtue of wisdom and persistence, as a little wizard, he obviously has more strength and means to overcome difficulties than in the past.

However, even so, it is always too reluctant for a child to travel long distances to a distant destination.

Yes, after consulting some ancient maps and comparing them with today's maps, Ernst was sure he had found the right place.

The map in Slytherin's secret room marked a mountain forest in Albania. And that's where Draco Malfoy, who left Hogwarts secretly, is going.

Before deciding to follow the past, Ernst had been distressed. After all, the place was too far for him. Not to mention, he is still a student of Hogwarts. Even if he doesn't like to obey the rules, it's a little crazy to sneak out during school.

However, that night, Malfoy took the opportunity that belonged to him. This kind of thing is much more serious than being robbed of toys by the neighbor's children when I was a child. Where can Ernst swallow this tone?

So, just yesterday afternoon, like Malfoy, who was one step ahead of him, Ernst got out of the school in the crowd. I have to admit that this method is really good, because even if he still has a very eye-catching flying broom in his hand, no one pays special attention to him, a little guy who has the courage to sneak out of school.

However, after a distance away from the school gate, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

In fact, Hogwarts' school rules are formulated in considerable detail, and at first glance, they always seem to be chaotic. However, if the severity of punishment is used to distinguish, it can be clearly divided into two categories.

The first category is the punishment of violations in schools. Any violation of the regulations in school, as long as it does not cause any harm to others, is a fairly mild punishment.

The second category is the punishment for violations outside the school. Due to the numerous turbulence experienced by the magic world in the past, in order to make those naughty students dare not leave school at will, the punishment of the school in this regard is quite serious.

Of course, up to now, even the iron chain that filch wipes every day is no longer used. It can be seen that the school rules will be gradually abolished due to the different views of the president and the times.

Therefore, the biggest punishment now is probably to drop out of school.

But the key is, can Ernst accept the most likely severe punishment?

After leaving the school gate, Ernst, who was tangled on the side of the road, didn't even use his broom, so he was forced to turn back by the pressure of "likely to drop out".

He had an obvious desire for Hogwarts and all kinds of wonderful and powerful spells. He didn't want to be fired because he was unwilling to learn at the beginning!

However, when he hurried back to the school gate with the flying broom coming out of the school, he found that the school gate returning to the castle was blocked by a group of strange guys.

Then, in the crowd outside the door, he witnessed Maka's amazing skills.

To be honest, he never thought that a wizard could fight like a powerful warrior in myth and legend.

At that time, the terrible speed shown by Maka, his spell skill of casting invisible sharp blades and penetrating the heads of six hijackers at the same time, and the powerful magic of releasing the cold current to quickly freeze dozens of attackers in the middle of the way were deeply branded into erns's mind.

If he only studied step by step in Hogwarts, could he become as powerful as Professor McLean?

Yes, with the help of the effect of Fuling agent, he had experienced the almost desperate power suppression in Malfoy twice in a row. But when watching Maka's every move outside the school gate, even without the help of fulingji, he could clearly feel the absolute gap in the most intuitive way.

So when Marka took Sarah with her broken arm to the castle, Ernst immediately turned and left. This time, he was unusually decisive, and he didn't even look back.

At present, the whole night has passed since he officially embarked on the journey. This night, he spent almost all his time on the broomstick except that he had to land and rest because he was too cold.

The straight-line distance from Hogwarts in the north of England to Albania is about 1500 miles. Even Harry's Firebolt will take at least ten hours.

As for the broom that burns rode on his crotch, it was not a little worse.

This is the practice broom used by junior students in Hogwarts in flight class. The specific model is the sweeping one star that was eliminated by the Quidditch team decades ago.

Even though this broom was popular in the British magic world in those years, it has been the so-called tears of the times after all. With the speed limit of 80 miles per hour, it took erns nearly 19 hours to reach Albania, not counting the rest time he needed on the way!

Right now, Ernst was lying on his broom, looking at the dazzling sun in the distance, and there was only one thought in his heart.

"Is there time?"

……

At this moment, Malfoy, who is drifting on the Adriatic Sea, shows with his sad reality that Ernst may not catch up.

Not to mention that Malfoy is not the same person as he was in the past. At least, he has gained some power and is undoubtedly more and more dependent on that energy.

With the help of such powerful forces, he tried to use the phantom shape shifting spell. However, if the magic spell follows the specific teaching process of Hogwarts, it can only be signed up after reaching the age of 17.

Perhaps Malfoy had thought about it himself in his books at home, but it was obviously very difficult to use a spell he had not practiced.

This time, Malfoy was actually very lucky. Because after he chose to take Italy he had been to as his explicit goal, he successfully "moved" the whole person together. Although the apparent position obviously has a large offset error, but in short, it is not lucky to not forget one of your body parts in place. What else can we say?

So, Malfoy could only turn the dead fish's eyes and cast a bubble head curse on himself, and then let the current carry him forward leisurely.

No way, the mysterious power in his body is not inexhaustible, and the way he can use that power is also very limited. It's up to him... To be honest, he can't swim anymore.

"... damn it."

Malfoy's head was covered with a big bubble, and his whole upper body was floating above the sea. Although due to the magic bubble, no matter how big the waves are, they will not make him drown and suffocate, but the huge waves covering his face still hurt his chest every time.

"Hogwarts probably can't go back. Even if he can go back, it's too risky. If he doesn't find anything in the deep mountain of Albania... It's a little bad!"

He flickered between waves, surrounded by surging sea water, which he was tired of seeing. Therefore, while drifting at will for a rest, he couldn't help thinking secretly.

"No, in fact, it's meaningless to stay in Hogwarts now. The closer you are to McLean, the easier it is to be detected. In this case, it's better to change places..."

Just as Malfoy was thinking about his future alone, he suddenly felt that something seemed to touch him under his feet. The slippery feeling gave him a bad feeling.

At the moment, he can't use the power he relies on most smoothly. If he really meets some fierce marine creatures, it's not fun!

Malfoy got rid of the thoughts in his mind and turned and plunged into the sea.

Today, the sun is very sunny, and the blue sea is quite clear. He just looked around and found a big guy with sharp teeth.

Although he didn't know whether the thing that just touched his foot was the guy, he understood that he seemed to have been watched.

"Damn --"

Malfoy immediately narrowed his eyes, then immediately twisted his body, threw up his arms and tried to swim in the opposite direction. Obviously, he has a magic wand, but the other party has fangs. In such a place full of water, it is unknown who will die and who will live!

If the big fish who doesn't know his name can give up his goal, that's the best result.

"No, we have to find a way to get ashore as soon as possible!"

……

The current situation of Malfoy, of course, was unexpected to Ernst.

According to Ernst's guess, Malfoy should use more powerful magic to greatly shorten the journey to Albania, and even it is not impossible to get there directly. In fact, Malfoy did exactly that, but the process seemed to go wrong.

But because of such an accident, Ernst, who can only think of using a broomstick, has some opportunities to catch up. If Malfoy had gone according to his original plan, he would have been standing on the deck of a ship bound for a seaport in Albania and enjoying the sea breeze leisurely.

"Speaking of it, is there any magic spell that can solve the problem of seasickness?" Ernst, flying over the North Sea, looked at a passenger ship below and couldn't help thinking so.
