Chapter 127 A Guess that Is Very Close to the Truth
"But how did the young master leave?" Anna asked in confusion, "He doesn't know Animagus, so it's impossible for him to quietly avoid the sight of Muggles.
Besides, the Ministry of Magic prohibits minors from using magic in the Muggle world. The young master is very clear about this and will not take the initiative to expose it."
"Even if there are flying props, the young master can't use them in broad daylight, it's too conspicuous.
But if the young master waited until night to use the flying props, it doesn't make sense. With our search speed, he can't hide at night, and..." Number Four was silent for a while, and continued: "And the most important thing is that I carefully counted all the magic items in the castle, and I didn't find any missing flying props."
Jinns heard this, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Mistake in intelligence?"
Flying does not necessarily require props, but also magical animals.
He knew clearly that the young master had a white dragon, and he could control his body shape at will. Just look at the huge form of Abe flattening a set of armor in the armory, carrying a person for a long distance is not a problem at all.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Nothing, Dicka, I just suddenly remembered that the young master has his own flying props." Genes said awkwardly, "It's understandable that you don't know, but I actually neglected it."
The six people looked at each other and fell silent.
In order to find the young master, they blocked a radius of 100 kilometers, but if the other party has flying props, then this blockade will not be of much use. As long as he finds an opportunity, the young master can definitely escape from this range.
After a while, Anna raised her own question, "Boss, even if the young master has flying props, he will have to wait until night to have a chance to use them, but how did he avoid our search during the day?
And we don't have any consumption records of the young master. He can't starve for a whole day to hide himself. That's too much."
"It's not impossible." Genes smiled bitterly, "This is a premeditated runaway. Yesterday morning, the young master and Abe were almost starving. They ate almost twice as much as usual, and all high-calorie food. Those energy are enough for him to eat more. I can hold on for a few meals.
As for how he avoided our sight? Didn't you just say that? "
Anna was stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little unnatural, "It's not really the sewer, right?"
"Who knows?
But waiting in the sewer for more than ten hours, and then using a flying prop to run away after dark, this is the only thing I can think of.
If you are the young master, do you have a better way?"
"Will the young master do the opposite and hide in the sewer all the time?"
No. 3 spoke suddenly, but before he finished speaking, he met six sharp eyes.
"Modo, can you use your brain before you speak?" Genes said speechlessly, "It's better to stay in the sewer like a rat for three days and go to cram school at home?
Even if they can bear one or two meals without eating, can they go without eating for three consecutive days?
As long as they can't bear the hunger, they will come out to buy food, and then they will appear under our noses.
What do you think the young master wants to do this? To experience the feeling of hunger? Or do you think the young master's IQ is at your level?"
"Sorry, Lord Genes." Modo smiled awkwardly, "It's just a slip of the tongue."
Genes snorted coldly and turned to look at others, "Don't be so helpless, Think carefully about where the young master is.
Including today, we still have two days, not much, but not too little either. "
"Alas!" Dika sighed, "Lord Jins, it's not that we don't want to find the young master, but this area is too large, not just ordinary large.
At present, it is certain that the young master has escaped from our blockade, otherwise there would be no clues at all.
His escape funds are definitely enough for three days of all expenses, and if the young master wants, he can even regard this time of running away from home as a spontaneous trip.
In this case, our desire to find him is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no target at all."
After listening to this analysis, even Jins felt particularly headache.
If the young master ran away according to his guess, then Abe's flight distance in one night is their real search range.
How fast can a dragon fly?
This is a very complicated question, but it is definitely hundreds of kilometers per hour.
How fast can a dragon with no records fly?
This is a question of opinion, depending on... imagination.
But even if it is calculated at hundreds of kilometers per hour and in the worst case scenario, Abe flew from nightfall to sunrise the next day, which is thousands of kilometers, so it is not impossible to fly out of the country.
The Gaius family does not have the ability to ask a country to help find someone in such a short time, unless they contact the media, offer a high reward, and use their influence.
But as soon as this idea came up, Jins threw it out of his mind.
Family disgrace should not be made public. If everyone knows about it, how can they put their faces? Maybe the head of the family and the old head of the family will put down their work and come back to scold him.
"Are we just going to give up like this?" Genes said angrily, "Shame! I can already imagine that the young master will be waiting for me at the station with a victorious face in two days.
Our guardians will become the topic of conversation for future generations just like the one more than three hundred years ago."
"Lord Genes, I think..." Anna hesitated for a while, and was about to say something.
"Number six, just say what you want to say. The current situation is not much worse." Genes said lightly, but he felt a little lucky in his heart.
Anna is the most careful among them, and she might find some loopholes.
"I don't think the young master will run that far." Anna expressed her guess, "The young master is more mature than his peers, but no matter how mature he is, he is only a twelve-year-old child."
"Hmm?" Genes' eyes lit up, as if he had grasped something, "Go on."
"Yes!
An adult would not go too far if he ran away from home, let alone a twelve-year-old child, and the young master also left a note, clearly treating this runaway as a game.
He doesn't care about winning or losing, he just wants to have a good time and have fun in the last few days before school starts.
So I don't think he will run too far, and even if he feels safe, he will find a hotel with a better value for money to stay in."
"This..." Dicka was stunned for a moment, "It's not that there is no such A possibility, that is to say, the young master did jump out of our blockade, but he is not too far from the blockade line, or even nearby. "
"That's what I mean." Anna said, "But this is just a guess."
"A guess that is very close to the truth." Genes stood up and gave Anna an admiring look, "Your bonus this month will be doubled."
"This..." Anna was flattered, "Not good! The young master hasn't been found yet!"
"This is what you deserve. I have a hunch that your guess is particularly correct.
Besides, you are much more reliable than the two guys who lost the young master. Your bonus will be deducted from their wages. Don't have any psychological burden. "
Number one and number two looked at each other and could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.
It can only be said that they were unlucky. The bad luck that they would not encounter in hundreds of years just happened to fall on their heads.
"Now that we have a direction, let's act quickly!" Genes ordered, "Focus on checking the inns a hundred kilometers away."
"But what if there are none?" Modo poured a basin of cold water, "And the range is also very large, we only have less than two days."
Genes glared at the straightforward No. 3. Didn't he know about this possibility?
But knowing is one thing, and speaking out is to shake the morale of the army.
"Ahem! You go find it first, and I will have specific arrangements at that time." Genes said lightly, and then turned his eyes to No. 6, "Anna, you stay for a while."
"Yes!"
Two minutes later, the other five people left the inn, and Genes let go of his calmness just now.
"Anna, your analysis just now is very accurate.
But based on my understanding of the young master, the possibility that he is in the inn is not very high, and it will not even exceed 30%."
"Not so?" Anna frowned.
"It's true. I know the young master, but he also knows me." Genes smiled bitterly, "He must know that we are looking for him, and he has learned too much during this holiday. It is not difficult for him to analyze the scope of our search.
If the young master is not so cautious, maybe we still have a chance, but if he is more careful, we may not be able to find him."
"Uh... Lord Genes, I don't think you need to think so much." Anna chuckled, "It's broad daylight now! Even if the young master has a flying prop, he has no chance to use it. We can complete the investigation before dark."
Genes breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of what Modo said just now, a layer of clouds appeared on his face, "But what if there is no clue here?"
"That can't be! Where else can he live besides the hotel?
That's a hundred kilometers away, who will take him in!"
After the voice fell, Anna and Genes seemed to think of something at the same time.
The two looked at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Anna took out a map from somewhere, while Genes took out a small notebook and quickly glanced at the names and addresses on it.
A few minutes later, Genes closed the small notebook and looked at Wiltshire on the map with bright eyes, "Found it, it's definitely here."
