Chapter 538: The Puppet in Space
"Remember, don't talk about the heir with anyone. Even the Book of Friends or the Communication Pea may not be safe. The real secret can only be kept in your heart so that it will not be leaked."
Ali imitated Moody's speech vividly, then jumped aside, frowned his short eyebrows, and said in Ferdinand's accent:
"In that case, you could have kept it from us, but you chose to tell my husband and me... Was there any other consideration?"
Ali moved to Moody's position again, and after a moment's silence, he said in a rough voice:
"Actually... I tried to tell others about my guess, but they all thought I was crazy. Dumbledore also..."
It paused for a few seconds before it slowly spoke with a strange persistence:
"If I die one day, you can tell Wade what I told you and tell him to be vigilant! There are some things I don't understand yet, but he'd better keep his eyes open and don't trust anyone easily!"
Ali supported himself on the table with both hands and stared sternly at the air in front of him. Unfortunately, his eyes were so dark that no matter how fierce he looked, he still looked cute.
Then the puppet relaxed its movements and expressions, sat down at the table, swung its legs, and said, "And then he left!"
"Thank you, Ali." Wade rubbed the puppet's head with his fingertips and said with a smile: "You imitated very well."
Ali held his index finger with his little hand and asked, "Will the master be in danger at school? Can Ali help?"
Vader looked into its eyes and smiled, "My request to you is the same as before - protect my parents. This is more important to me than anything else."
Ali nodded vigorously.
……
Returning to the wardrobe space, Wade saw Michal staying in his nest, resting leisurely with his eyes closed; the cloak was spread out on the ground half-dead, like a manta ray ready to be dried.
Minus these two guys, the closet space looks like a normal wizarding residence:
There are more than a dozen rooms of various sizes, serving as alchemy rooms, libraries, storage rooms, bedrooms, potion rooms, etc.
There is a large open space in front of and behind the house, where some flowers are planted and some exercise equipment is placed.
Looking into the distance, there is a piece of land where various herbs are planted; there is also a not-so-big lake, and some creatures living leisurely can be seen by the lake.
A cloud was floating slowly in the sky, and rain was falling as it floated, like an automatic watering can.
This was the scene that Harry and his friends saw when they entered the wardrobe space. Apart from the astonishing size of the space, there seemed to be nothing surprising about it.
They didn't know that the closet space was Wade's own work, they just thought it was a gift from Professor Murray to his students.
Vader stood in the middle of the clearing, ignoring the groaning of the cloak, and clapped his hands lightly.
The bell hanging by the door immediately started to ring at the signal.
"Ding-a-ling-ding-a-ling--"
The ground in front of Vader collapsed instantly, like the entrance to Diagon Alley, disappearing layer by layer from the inside to the outside, and finally turned into a deep entrance with all kinds of noisy sounds coming from inside.
Cloak immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed in with a cheer, and then the floor under Vader's feet began to float, carrying him flying downwards.
After being renovated by Wade, the wardrobe space is actually divided into two floors. The upper floor is ordinary, quiet and tidy; the lower floor is where Wade's real efforts are.
This basement looks like a huge, messy base, and everywhere you look, it's full of puppets.
The largest puppet looks as tall as a two-story building, and looks like a giant jellyfish with long, thin tentacles hanging from the bottom. It is like a tower crane in the basement, which can easily put objects high up. When there is nothing to do, it just floats around in the basement. The smallest puppet can even get into people's ears. Like ants, they drill around inside some instruments, performing various precision tasks. Sometimes they get stuck accidentally, and they make a "chi chi chi" scream.
There are also two half-human-high, crab-like puppets. Their job is to prepare various materials for making puppets. Some need to be turned into fine powder, some need to be cut into thin slices, some need to be pulled into thin wires, and some need to be calcined with fire.
The eight legs were busy and had clear division of labor. The prepared materials had already filled several boxes, just waiting for Wade to start making them.
There are also some small puppets as big as fists, which look like a group of wasps, with round stomachs filled with ink. They fly back and forth between the bookshelves, some carrying books, and some writing and drawing on parchment.
Despite their small size, these little puppets are very intelligent. Their job is to organize Vader's countless books. The clock library that Flamel gave him is placed next to it.
There is no telling how many books and notes there are in the wizarding world, with new books and magazines increasing every year. Even if Wade lived as long as Nick Flamel, he would not be able to finish reading all the books.
So these little puppets play a screening role. They filter out those wrong, outdated and duplicate books. Most books only have valuable content extracted and compiled into a collection.
Only the most precious, most substantial, and basically error-free books are placed on a separate shelf, waiting for the day when they will be taken away and read by their owners.
When there are no outsiders in the closet space, these wasp puppets will fly to the upper level to clean, tend to various herbs, and sometimes act as Wade's assistant in alchemy, and they can do a good job.
"Hey guys, did you miss me?" The cloak flew back and forth to greet them, "It's been a long time... Although it wasn't long, the experience I had this time is definitely beyond your imagination..."
"Go away!" A deep voice came from the jellyfish's body: "Don't disturb me while I'm working."
"Oh, did you find a new magic book? What? No? Then what's there to surprise me about?" A wasp puppet flew past the cloak with disdain.
Another wasp puppet came close to the cloak and asked, "Have you finished reading the "Algorithm for Reversing Magic Spells"? If you have, I recommend you to read this book "Research on Medieval Magic Patterns". You need to master more knowledge to follow your master."
If the cloak had eyes, it would have a stunned expression at this moment.
It asked blankly, "I only have a cloak. I can fly, fight, and defend against spells. Why do I need to learn more?"
"I advise you not to waste your time." Another wasp puppet flapped its wings and floated next to the cloak. It said to the previous wasp mockingly, "It hasn't even memorized the Latin roots of common potion ingredients! What's more..."
"Hey!"
Without waiting for it to finish its words, Cloak slapped a few wasp puppets away from it and returned to Wade in a huff.
"Master, these nerds don't understand how many amazing things you have done!"
"Okay, go play by yourself."
Vader said casually, patting his cloak reassuringly, and then looking at the materials filling the box, wondering what kind of puppet he would make this time.
He rarely made humanoid golems since the first ones were destroyed on that island.
It is easy to place more emotions on objects that look similar to oneself, regardless of whether they have warm blood flowing in their bodies.
But now... maybe he still needs more puppets that can be easily hidden among the crowd.
Wade thought about it and waved his wand lightly. Various materials gathered in the air and gradually formed a human shape.
