Auror captain Russell woke up first. He stood up, rubbed his neck, and hurriedly checked Martell's injuries.
This one must not be in trouble.
Fortunately, Stark was measured, and Martell just passed out.
But this is even more terrifying. How can magic be controlled so well in battle?
This shows that Stark's strength far exceeds them, so he can control it so easily!
Martell woke up after tossing and turning. After he opened his eyes, he immediately said loudly, "Where's Stark? Have you caught him! Russell!"
Russell shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, Stark and Granger have run away."
"There is no Apparition here, inform the Aurors to block the building."
"No, sir." Russell pointed to the Victorian floor-to-ceiling window.
"They broke the glass and probably jumped straight off the fifth floor."
Below the window is the Grand Canal. The two of them will not fall to their death at all, and they are probably gone.
Martell struggled to get up from the floor, and he moved slowly, dusting the dust off his chest.
Several other Aurors also woke up, and everyone was silent for a while.
He was knocked unconscious by a fourth-year wizard and escaped, which was not honorable at all. even shame.
Martell suddenly thought of Clegane. The last time we met, he also laughed at each other.
Fortunately, Stark has a great reputation, which makes everyone choose to ignore the age issue and feel a little more comfortable.
"What did Stark say when he escaped?" Martell looked at the gypsy girl sitting on the ground.
Nymeria hadn't woken up from the fright yet, she stammered:
"No... no... sir."
"They seem to have taken the box and the goblet of fire," Russell said after checking around.
"Don't worry, the Goblet of Fire is fake, and the box is useless." Martell shook his head.
"Then what now, Mr. Secretary." Russell waited for the next instruction.
"Issue a city-wide search in Venice, and they will definitely not leave here." Martell ordered:
"As soon as you find out, notify me immediately."
"Okay, sir."
"And, Russell." Martell turned to a warning tone.
"Information about the disappearance of the Goblet of Fire must be kept top secret.
You can't report this to anyone. Report the situation directly to me. This must be made clear. "
"No problem, sir." Russell said quickly.
Compared with the Director of the Auror Office, the Secretary-General of the Minister is obviously a bigger position.
"Are you clear about the requirements of this mission?"
"Clear!" Russell replied. "We have two goals.
The first is the Goblet of Fire; the second is Stark and Granger. "
"Correct!" said Martell. "The Goblet of Fire must be recovered as quickly as possible, intact. What's the problem?"
"Is the use of force allowed?" Russell asked hesitantly.
Again, Stark and Granger came to Venice for the International Congress of Wizards.
The two also have a strong influence and reputation in the magic world, so they are hunting down like this... France is a lesson from the past.
Martell's shoulder blade, injured by William, was still aching.
He endured the pain and said coldly, "I said that the Goblet of Fire is very important."
"Understood." The four turned and left the room.
Martell touched his shoulder with his severely scalded right hand and silently watched them go away.
...
...
In Venice, the most important thing is water. Bounded by the Grand Canal, which flows in a reverse S-shape, Venice is divided into two areas.
Each region is further divided into three administrative districts, for a total of 6 administrative districts, so it is also called the six-district system.
But the canals in Venice were not built for navigation, but for water.
Of course, boats can also be run on the river, but that is only the result, the purpose is to divert water.
For Venetians, the "living lagoon" is a matter of life and death to live in this environment for a long time.
The canals extend in all directions and flow very fast, which is a must.
So when William and Hermione emerged again, they were far away from St. Mark's Basilica.
Before he emerged from the water, William held the wand and poked the bubble head spell on his head.
Otherwise, the sudden appearance of two celestial dragons would surely frighten the Muggles. You may think that the people from the sea have climbed ashore.
Without the head-soaking spell, the river water did not soak the hair. Before jumping from the fifth-floor window, Hermione cast the Waterproof and Moisture-proof Charm.
The two also wore warm-up badges on their bodies, resisting the biting river water.
Therefore, this is not drowning and escaping, but... rafting at extreme speed!
After emerging from the water, the sky was still pouring rain, hitting the shoulders of the two of them.
William looked around and recognized where they were.
- Ocean Customs.
The modest triangular fortress, with its watchtowers, once guarded Venice from Byzantine invasion.
Today, the watchtower has been replaced by a huge golden spherical building.
The weather vane on the top adopts the shape of the goddess of wealth, which constantly changes its direction in the breeze, reminding the sailors who go out to sea that their fate is unpredictable.
Destiny... it's really fitting.
Not long ago, the two were invited guests, but now they have become fugitives, suspected of stealing the Goblet of Fire.
William also knocked out four Aurors and a high-ranking Ministry of Magic official.
Unpredictable fate indeed!
William and Hermione stared at each other, but instead of being afraid, they hugged in the river and laughed.
This exciting escape is really exciting!
William regretted it a little.
Shouldn't let Hermione cast the water-proof and moisture-proof spell, the temptation to get wet... Isn't it fragrant?
Fortunately, Hermione didn't know what William was thinking, otherwise he might just drown him in the water.
Two heads suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of many tourists.
They exclaimed, and some even wanted to dive to save people.
A young lady took off her pants and was about to jump down to save the boy.
But seeing the two hugging each other and laughing... It turned out to be a neuropathy.
White blinded that face.
The expressions of everyone on the shore were different, but all of them gave up saving people and huddled together to watch the young lady who was undressing.
More than a dozen gondolas, facing the undulating waves, were about to salvage the drowning children.
But one ship was faster, and it entered the fairway marked by the buoy, and the swirling wake shook the other ships up and down like corks.
"Meet again." Terenei whistled.
She sat upright on the bow, holding cold noodles in her left hand and a book in her right hand.
She took a mouthful of noodles, looked at the two people in the water, and said with a smile:
"What's the matter? The couple died in love? Or did they go to kiss under the Bridge of Sighs?"
William backstroked on the water, smiled and said, "Fate is fate."
"It's really fate." Terenei took out a camera out of nowhere and took a picture of the two of them.
She smiled and said, "The photos of Stark and Granger falling into the water... The reporters who sold them to the Daily Prophet should be very valuable."
"Witch?" William raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Terenei put down the camera and said seriously, "I recognized you the first time I saw you.
I should have said that last year I was traveling in Paris...well, in July. "
"Oh, so we both saved your life?"
"Yeah, but now it's even!" Terenei held out her hand. "You don't want to stay in the water all the time, do you?"
William motioned for Hermione to go up first. After getting on the boat, Terenei grabbed his hand again.
Terenei's strength is really great, she dragged William onto the boat with ease.
"The two of us are in danger now. Is there a safer place without dragging you down?" William asked.
Terenei thought for a while and said, "My house?"
William glanced at the woman and nodded, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Terenei stepped on the accelerator, and the gondola accelerated, causing a splash of water.
She picked up the book again and read it carefully.
Looking at William's gazeTrene looked up and explained:
"I'm going to sail a boat and go to England to watch the World Cup. It should be good to learn more about your country's culture."
Hermione asked curiously, "What book is it?"
"The Book of Peace" Terenei handed it over. "You Minister of Magic, the book just published is very interesting."
After Hermione took it, William leaned beside him and looked at it curiously.
I saw on that page: Minister of Magic Ping Ping, Secretary Ping Ping, Director of Legal Department Ping Ping...
William whistled.
Minister Fudge started making money again.
