Escape

Upon seeing Grindelwald leaning against the doorway, Xiwen gasped and instinctively turned to look in the direction where the Mirror Dimension had just been cast.

Even from a considerable distance, one could clearly see the towering, dark blue flames rising from the theater, burning fiercely inside.

"Mr. Rozier, I'm becoming more and more curious about you." Grindelwald waved his wand, and a spell was immediately cast onto the magic carpet carrying Xiwen and the other two.

Flamel immediately deployed a Shield Charm to block the three of them.

The Cloak formed from Raggatego around Xiwen also began to flow, transforming into a hemispherical shield that blocked Flamel's Shield Charm.

As the three were about to fly out of the opera house on the magic carpet, Madam Flamel had already taken the spinning Portkey in her hand, ready to activate it at any moment.

Grindelwald then unleashed two more powerful spells at the three of them.

After Xiwen and the others blocked the first few spells with their protection, a Reductor Curse suddenly flew in an arc, bypassing the shield in front of them, and struck the magic carpet directly.

The magic carpet instantly turned to dust!

The Flamel, Lemaîtres, and Xiwen lost their balance and fell to the ground. They were then bound by a Binding Curse cast by Grindelwald.

Grindelwald walked up to the bound Xiwen, squatted down to face him, and gave him a wicked smile.

"I must say, your magic is quite unique; it almost stumped me," he said with a smile. "It's just a pity the space isn't very solid."

Xiwen frowned in frustration. He had never expected that Grindelwald would find a way to break through the Mirror Dimension in such a short time and teleport to the entrance of the Palais Garnier in a way they didn't know!

'Is it only possible to contact Dumbledore through Soul Body?' he wondered, troubled.

Flamel, standing next to Xiwen, sighed, his tone surprisingly calm, and asked, "So, what are your plans for us?"

"Rest assured, I've come to 'visit' with an important matter I need Mr. Flamel's help with, and I certainly won't make things difficult for you and your wife; as for this young wizard, I certainly won't do anything to him. I couldn't bring myself to do something as heartless as depriving the Rosier family, who have helped me so much, of their last heir," Grindelwald said with a light laugh. "My only purpose is to invite you all to visit Nurmengard; you have plenty of time to consider other matters."

"Abernathy, please invite these three distinguished guests into the carriage!" He waved his hand and said to the wizard following behind without allowing any further explanation.

Abernathy nodded obediently and gestured for the three of Xiwen to proceed.

However, a sudden change occurred—

The air at the opera house entrance suddenly distorted!

A strangely shaped bird with small wings suddenly flew out of the air, carrying a person and a cat on its back— Newt and the Little Cat!

"Relashio!" Newt immediately chanted a spell upon appearing, releasing the magical ropes binding Xiwen and the other two.

At the same time, the long tail of the Winged Bird wrapped around the waists of the three, and the Little Cat once again made running and shuttling movements, opening up a circle of blue light curtain.

"Cruciatus Curse!"

Seeing this, Grindelwald immediately cast a Cruciatus Curse on the Little Cat in an attempt to prevent her power from activating.

The surrounding Saints also rushed over, casting colorful spells at the blue light screen.

At the critical moment, Flamel took out a faintly glowing origami crane from his bag and threw it out. As the crane's wings flapped in the air, it transformed into thousands upon thousands of origami cranes, completely blocking the entrance to the light barrier and also blocking countless spells.

Several extremely powerful spells, such as the Cruciatus Curse, which flew in through the flock of origami cranes, were blocked by Xiwen, Newt, and the Flamel using the Shield Charm.

The four then disappeared inside the Palais Garnier...

"Sir, they shouldn't have gone far. Should we go after them?" After Xiwen four men disappeared, Abernathy walked up to Grindelwald and asked in a low voice.

"No need. You have warrants on your hands; there's no need to take the risk," Grindelwald said, raising his hand to stop him. He then addressed the others around him.

"Besides, we should be seeing each other again soon."

Grindelwald's right eye gleamed with an eerie white light.

When Xiwen four of them reappeared, they had arrived at the old buildings on Montmorency Street, where Nick Flamel's safe house was hidden.

They rushed into the safe house without waiting, and only then did they finally relax.

This safe house is protected by the Fidelius Charm cast by Nick Flamel; no one can enter without his permission.

"Little Cat, you saved me again!" Xiwen hugged the Little Cat tightly, rubbed her little head, and said with emotion.

The two consecutive space jumps carrying other people seemed to have taken a toll on the Little Cat. She lay listlessly in Xiwen's arms, enjoying his massage, and soon fell asleep.

Xiwen carefully placed the Little Cat on the blanket Newt had brought out and covered her with a quilt to keep her warm.

He then looked at the Flamel and Newt, and asked softly, "What do we do next?"

Madam Flamel looked somewhat tired and said to Flamel, "Let's contact the French Ministry of Magic first. Someone has to clean up the mess at the Palais Garnier."

Flamel nodded and walked through the wooden door to the studio on one side of the living room.

Curious, Xiwen followed and saw Flamel open the cabinet next to the workbench and take out a thick book with a gold cover decorated with Phoenix relief.

Seeing his struggle to lift the Phoenix Relief Book, Xiwen quickly stepped forward to help him take the book and place it on Flamel's workbench.

"Thank you, little Sven." Le Maire smiled kindly at Sven and said, "I'm getting old, and it's true that it's a bit inconvenient for me to move around."

He gently stroked the Phoenix relief on the cover, causing it to open slightly. Then he opened the thick book.

This magical book has a picture frame on every page, most of which are empty. Occasionally, there are frames with photos, and when Flamel turns the page, the people in the pictures smile and greet Flamel.

"Are these all magical photos?" Xiwen asked curiously.

"Magic photographs?" Flamel smiled at Xiwen and said, "Of course! The people in the frames are all genuine wizards. I can contact them through this book."

"A remote video call?" Xiwen was stunned.
