Chapter 286 284. Bear's paw
Noram Greengrass isn't keen on being a Death Eater.
The reason why he joined this team was just for the Greenglass family to show their allegiance to Voldemort as a performance.
But Noam, who was born in a pure-blood family, doesn't care about the so-called blood theory, nor does he care about power and wealth. His ambition has not changed since he was a child, and that is to travel around the world and try all kinds of food.
That's right, he's just a simple foodie.
But he can't make a choice about what kind of family he comes from. Since he has enjoyed the fine clothes and fine food of the Greengrass family since he was a child, he must make his due contribution to the family when he grows up, just like his Aunt served as the half-blood dean of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry.
However, the Greengrass family is much more enlightened than other pure-blood families. They knew that Norm was not interested in this, so they made a promise to him that he would stay among the Death Eaters for three to five years, and then After a period of time, let him resign from his position and do what he really wants to do.
Noam readily accepted this, and being able to have such an agreement has satisfied him enough.
After he joined the Death Eaters, he couldn't get along with those colleagues who danced with demons around him, and he still thought about how to eat well every day, even if he was transferred to the North Pole now.
"This is a peerless delicacy. I saw it in a Muggle cookbook before, so don't feel that this trip is not worth it. I promise you will not regret it."
Noam urged Hanks, if the bears were not so difficult to catch, he would not have joined him with another Death Eater.
Hanks is actually not that interested in eating, but patrolling at night made him hungry. The dry food provided by the Ministry of Magic is not bad, but after eating for so many days in a row, no matter how delicious the food is, he will get tired of it .
That's why after hearing Noam's eloquent narration, he decided to come with him this trip and have a different taste of the tooth-beating ceremony.
In a pitch-black snowstorm, the two of them approached together holding two dimly fluorescent wands, which Gabriel named "Little White Two Type One" and "Little White Two Two" at Jon's suggestion. type" polar bear.
"These bears are too vigilant. You go around and surround me from the opposite side. Don't use point-to-point spells, use the blasting spell directly to ensure that they can be killed directly. Anyway, we only eat bear paws."
Norm whispered orders to Hanks. What he didn't notice was that on the snowdrift right in front of him, there were six eyes hiding behind the invisibility cloak, watching them silently.
Jon heard the conversation between them, and only then did he realize what these two people were doing here in the middle of the night.
They didn't find any problems, they just wanted to eat roasted bear paws!
To be honest, it was also Jon’s bad luck. There are so many polar bears in the Arctic Ocean, but Noam just took a fancy to the two who pulled the cart for them.
But no matter whether he attributes this to luck or not, Jon thinks these two Death Eaters who hunt bears in the middle of the night are weird.
Not only Jon, but Gabriel also heard the conversation between the two Death Eaters. She didn't dare to make a sound at this time, but turned her head to look at Jon pitifully.
At any rate, these are the only two "pets" she has had since she came to the North Pole. Of course, she can't bear to let others eat them.
Jon just winked at her, signaling her not to act rashly, but Jon himself didn't intend to sneak attack.
Although the points where the two Death Eaters designed the lurking bear hunt are separated, they are not far apart, and they always hold wands in their hands, maintaining a state of vigilance. Jon launches a sneak attack and knocks down one. Of course, it can be 100% Do it, but there is no way to guarantee that the other one will stay.
So Jon did not act recklessly. Of course, this does not mean that he will give up these two bears who have made great contributions to them.
In other words, these two bears don't need their help to save them at all.
Soon, the actions of the two polar bears also confirmed Jon's thoughts.
When Nick woke Jon up, the two polar bears woke up too.
It's just that they didn't have any special actions, and they were still lying on the ice, looking like they were sleeping soundly.
And just when Norm and Hanks completed the outflank and were about to attack them, the two polar bears "squeaked" and got up from the ground!
The expression on Noam's face froze for a second, and then he reacted immediately.
"Thunderbolt Explosion!"
The blazing fire exploded in the direction his wand pointed, but the reaction of the two bears was beyond everyone's sensitivity!
They ran and slid on the ice, easily escaped the range of Noam's blasting spell, and then separated very tacitly, running in different directions.
"Why are you in a daze!"
Norm shouted angrily, which woke Hanks up. They did not give up easily, and coordinated their goals, chasing in the direction where one of the bears was fleeing, as if they wanted to eat this meal tonight anyway. Night snack.
After they were completely gone, Jon lifted the invisibility cloak on his body and looked at the messy ice surface.
The aftermath of Noam's Blasting Curse unfortunately lifted a corner of the sleigh that was originally covered. If they hadn't chased the bear just now, but stayed where they were, they should have discovered the anomaly here.
"Are they okay?" Gabriel still asked worriedly.
At this moment, Jon is full of confidence in the two bears. Through yesterday and today's performance, he has confirmed that these two polar bears are by no means ordinary domesticated animals. In terms of physical fitness, it is also far superior to normal polar bears.
"Don't worry, they will be fine. Instead of worrying about them, it is better to worry about how we will go on the next journey."
Jon took out the map in the dark, and then used the wand lighting spell.
"Whether it's because of our bad luck, or these two foodies have other goals, we definitely can't expect the two bears to come back later, so we can only go on by ourselves."
Relying on human feet to walk a hundred miles in this ice and snow world, for ordinary people, this is an attempt to seek death.
No one can go this far without a supply point in between, let alone in the North Pole.
But for Jon, this may be difficult, but it is definitely not impossible.
Temporary moving, busy for a day, like a dead dog at night, I can’t take it anymore after counting two thousand. If I don’t sleep anymore, I think I’m going to die suddenly. The rest of today’s bookkeeping, plus yesterday’s two thousand, makes a total of six thousand. If it can be made up tomorrow, it will be tomorrow. If it can’t be made up tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow at the latest.
The six thousand two days after tomorrow is still normal.
