Chapter 143 The hidden message in the cliff
"Look, Ron!" Tariq's voice was full of surprise: "It's so beautiful!"

David followed his gaze to look up, passing through the randomly growing branches, and continuing to climb up the steep cliff, a giant raptor with a pale gold back and a pure white belly appeared in front of his eyes.

It stood on the edge of the cave, fluttered its wings slightly, and stretched its lower body.

In the next second, Thunderbird stepped on the ground lightly with its thick feet, and its whole body fell down. When it was about to touch the treetop, it flapped its wings lightly. With the help of a breeze that just blew, it went straight Fly high into the sky.

The sunlight sprinkled from the gaps between its feathers, and matched with the pale gold radiating from its body, at this moment it was like an angel who had just descended from heaven.

Frank.
David recited its name silently, and turned to look at Ion.

He was sitting on a thick tree root at this moment, reading his comics with relish.

"Head, is that guy we want to catch? Can we handle it with just a few of us?"

Although he knew it would be dangerous to disturb Ian at this time, David still did it.

Sure enough, Yann looked away from the comics, and looked at David with a fierce look, and his breathing gradually became louder, like a blower being started.

"Don't, boss, don't be angry, just read your book, I'll teach him a lesson!"

A wizard wearing a swallow-tailed dog mask beside Yan quickly got up and comforted him.

Seeing that Yan started to read comics again, the wizard heaved a sigh of relief and walked quickly to David's side.

"Brother, what's the matter with you? Didn't it be agreed earlier that the head should not disturb him when he is reading?"

His tone was full of reprimand.

"I'm not thinking about our safety." David shrugged indifferently: "You also saw the big guy that just flew by. It's not those obedient owls, just us."

David glanced at everyone: "I don't know how much I paid to catch it. And I'm the one who paid the most. I don't want to give up my life in the first action, and I'm still on the way." Only a few hundred gold Galleons."

After David finished speaking, several wizards around him also realized this, and looked at the swallow-tailed dog mask man with some doubts.

"Please don't worry, our goal this time is not to catch it, and we will never make such an arrangement. After all, you are our partners who have been selected through hard work. How can we let everyone go to death!"

The man in the swallow-tailed dog mask waved his hands and hurriedly explained, for fear that someone would have doubts about it.

"Then why are we here? Sit and watch the scenery?"

David kept pressing.

The man in the swallow-tailed dog mask gave David a dissatisfied look, and said, "We are here for the eggs laid by the thunderbirds. We have calculated that they will lay eggs in the next few days, and the period when the eggs are just laid is the female bird. At the weakest time, we will find a way to lure them away and let people go in to get the eggs."

"Originally, this news should be told before the operation starts, but due to some people's reasons." The swallow-tailed dog masked man glanced at David, and his tone was very dissatisfied: "So I had to tell everyone in advance, just to invite everyone Rest assured, all our actions will be considered properly for everyone.”

"I'm very sorry. I was too anxious. After all, a person has only one life. If you die, more money won't help you." David tried his best to make his tone sound like he was apologetic.

"It's okay, I can understand everything, but please trust us in the future."

The swallow-tailed dog masked man finished speaking harshly, then turned and returned to the seat where he was sitting just now.

Want to steal Frank's eggs?
David looked up the cliff.

He has worked so hard for so many years, and finally got results. Do you want to steal it from him?

"Ron, what are you thinking?" Tariq asked curiously.

When Ian turned his head around just now, he slipped aside to show that he had nothing to do with David, and now that nothing happened, he moved back.

"It's okay, I was just wondering how big is the Thunderbird's egg? If it is used to cook egg drop soup, is it enough for all of us?"

David tapped on the mask and said softly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to pass the information to Newt.

After all, Newt would tear him apart if he did let these people take the eggs right under his nose.

"I don't think it should be enough? How about we try it?"

Tariq's throat slid slightly, as if he took David's words seriously.

"Then you go up and take one down? I'll put the pot on for you."

"Then forget it."

Tariq immediately sat obediently on the cushion beside him, what he eats is important to his life!

The corner of David's mouth raised a little, and he also sat beside Tariq.

He is ready to act at night.

After the sun completely disappeared on the horizon, the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth, not even a twinkling star.

a storm is coming
David glanced at the sky, and after the person who went to the bathroom came back, David asked the man in the swallow-tail dog mask behind him, "I'm going to the bathroom too, do you want to go with me?"

"of course."

The swallow-tailed dog masked man turned around helplessly and followed behind David, walking towards the dark forest again.

Due to the weather, the forest is separated, and they can't use the lighting spell to avoid being spotted by the thunderbirds from high above.

So in order to see David clearly, the man in the swallow-tailed dog mask was clung to him very tightly.

After a little distance from the area where everyone was sitting, David stopped in front of a big tree.

"Now can you stay away from me a little bit? After all, I don't have that kind of habit."

David said to the swallowtail dog masked man sideways.

"I do not have either!"

The man in the swallow-tailed dog mask responded and walked backwards, but the fallen branches and entangled roots made him have to lower his head from time to time to avoid falling.

When he bowed his head, David instantly summoned the Matthew water monster to change his figure, and at the same time he himself disappeared.

perfect!

Although the horse-shaped water monster can't conjure up his specific appearance vividly, but in this dark forest, there is a figure that is more or less similar, and the masked man will not doubt it.

David used the levitation spell on his clothes to drag himself quickly to a hidden corner, then put the double-sided mirror there, and adjusted the position so that it was facing Frank's cave.

"Newt Scamander."

As soon as David finished reading, the scene on the mirror began to change.

Grandpa, you are so reliable at this time!

If you really took Frank's eggs, it's not my fault
After David finished all this, he flew back to stand behind the horse-shaped water monster, and the flowing water was just coming to an end.

David called out the Invisible Beast again, and let it go around behind the man in the swallow-tailed dog mask, making a little noise.

"Who?"

The swallowtail dog turned around in an instant, and pointed his wand to where the invisible beast was.

At the same time, David took back the two magical animals, showed his figure, and walked to the masked man cautiously with his wand up.

"What's wrong?" David asked.

"It's okay, it should be a small animal."

The swallowtail dog masked man put down his wand and said with a sigh of relief.

"Are you sure? Do you want to go over and check? Otherwise, someone really caused the operation to fail, and both of us are responsible." David persuaded.

"you're right!"

The man in the swallow-tailed dog mask thought for a while, nodded slightly, and walked towards the place where the sound was made with David alone.

After they walked over, there was no figure on the tree or under the tree, and of course there was no one.

But flitting across the treetops in the distance was a small figure that looked a bit like a squirrel.

"It should have been that little guy just now." The man in the swallow-tailed dog mask put away his wand completely at ease.

This squirrel appeared at the right time!
David nodded for the squirrel, put away his wand easily, and walked towards the camp with the masked man.

When walking halfway, the masked man suddenly said, "Ron?"

David was taken aback, I was exposed?But his tone was very calm: "Well, what?"

"This afternoon, my tone was a little aggressive. Don't take it for granted."

That's all you need?
David breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's also because of me."

"As you know, there have been more people sneaking in recently." The swallow-tailed dog masked man approached David and lowered his voice a lot: "I heard that people at the leader level have been bribed, so we have to be careful."

David nodded: "I understand."

"In fact, a cautious person like you is very suitable to survive in our industry. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

The swallowtail dog masked man stretched out his hand to David.

"Of course." David had a bright smile on his face.

Sivir's inn.

The door snapped open, and Charlie and John walked into the room in a hurry.

"Any news?" Newt asked eagerly.

John and Charlie didn't speak, they both hurried to the table and poured a glass of water.

"There is no news at all." John said: "We have searched all the places where people who might meet people from the R organization have been searched today, but we haven't found even a hair."

"People from Organization R have abandoned all the places they used to stay." Charlie continued.

"This little bastard, I have been away for so long and there is no news at all. When he comes back, I have to clean him up!"

Having said that, Newt's face was full of worry.

"Is anything wrong with David?"

Charlie didn't want to say that, but based on what they'd discovered during this time, it was possible.

"Absolutely not, that kid is a ghost! They won't find him!"

Newt said immediately, but the anxiety in his heart deepened with Charlie's words.

Even now he is questioning why he let David go?

Then there was a knock at the door.

"Who?" Newt asked.

"it's me!"

John immediately walked over and opened the door.

Sivir walked quickly into the house, looking nothing like an old man.

"My friend in the Ministry of Magic just sent me a message." Sivir said in a deep voice, "They received a tip from an undercover agent and found a sales outlet of the R organization, not too far from us."

"During their arrest, a leader named Soli went crazy and blew up the scene, killing several wizards."

After Tweer finished speaking, he looked at Newt and struggled to utter a few words: "You said David would"

"will not!"

Newt interrupted Tweer, his eyes fixed on the two-way mirror on the table.

David said that he would contact him through this mirror if he found out.

This damn mirror, it's been so long, why hasn't it responded yet!

The room gradually fell silent due to the news from Tver, and they suddenly felt a little suffocated, as if someone had sucked the oxygen out of the room.

Newt's gaze in the mirror gradually lost his focus, and he began to wonder if something really happened to David.
"The mirror reacted!"

John's surprised voice suddenly rang out in the room, breaking the silence around him.

"what?"

Newt stood up from his chair, swung the mirror over, and held it up in front of him.

Some ripples appeared on the originally calm mirror. It had news to tell everyone, but it still needed a spell.

"David Scamander." Newt's lips moved, and a few words leaked out.

The ripples on the mirror suddenly became more intense, and after a while, the ripples dissipated, revealing the opposite scene clearly.

Newt and the others held their breath and looked across cautiously.

Since it is called a two-way mirror, both sides can see each other.

So Newt and the others couldn't help but be more cautious, lest their negligent move expose David.

After all, they didn't know what was going on with David.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

John waved his wand, and a line of writing appeared in the air.

There was darkness in the mirror, and he stared hard for a long time, only to see that there seemed to be a cliff in front of him?
And they waited for half a day and the picture didn't change, obviously the mirror was fixed in one position.

That cliff is the information David told them?
Newt frowned and didn't answer, he was also a little confused now.

David what does this mean?
Or did he accidentally drop the mirror?
But if you don't say my name, the mirror won't start!
Newt tugged at the beard that had grown wildly during this period, and the thoughts in his mind kept churning.

"John, do you understand?"

Charlie also formed a line of words in front of him.

John shook his head slightly.

"What can you see from this one cliff! There is no special place, I can count several places like this now!"

The characters in front of Charlie surged for a while, and formed a new line.

"David sent this picture, it must have his intentions, but we couldn't understand it."

The words in front of John also changed.

Yes, David can't risk being exposed and come up with a useless picture!

It's just that we didn't understand it.
special point
David is my grandson, and the people here are the ones he is most familiar with, so if he wants to deliver news, he must first consider that I can understand it!
But what was he trying to tell me through this cliff?

Newt moved the mirror to his face, and his eyes scanned each location carefully, trying to find a special point in it.

cliff
and many more!

Newt was taken aback, and instantly stood up straight, his scalp tingling.

He moved the mirror to the brightest position, and stared at the upper half of the mirror with wide eyes.

The one with a sunken hole.

As expected of my grandson!
I deserve to be his grandfather!

A wide smile spread across Newt's face.

"First"

As soon as John uttered a word, he hurriedly stopped, and wrote a line with his magic wand:

"Sir, do you know David's message?"

Newt nodded and turned off the two-way mirror: "I know David is there."

Frank, long time no see
I didn't expect them to have all their ideas on you!
But don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.

Just like before.

Newt looked out the window into the distance.
