In addition, it also saw several wizards belonging to the All Wizarding Society appearing in the castle, including Milton's father, Mr. Grevis.

Scott's feelings were complicated upon hearing that Mr. Grevis was involved.

He didn't know what his friend's father's social class was now.

Mr. Grevis's attitude has always been ambiguous, and it's unclear how credible his previous statements to Milton were.

In short, Scott decided to observe for a while before deciding whether to contact him.

He considered asking Milton, but after much deliberation, he decided not to bring it up with Milton for the time being.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job."

After praising Rimbaud a few times, Scott gave him another task.

"Send Raven to keep an eye on Mr. Grevis; you don't need to go yourself."

Rimbaud immediately agreed.

After ending the communication, Scott tapped the [Magic Mirror] with his finger.

Soon, he successfully connected with those "eyes" in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Rimbaud led his flock of crows to lay a total of 50 "eyes" in the castle, covering almost the entire area inside and outside the castle.

Scott kept switching between different "eyes" and quickly gained a general understanding of the castle's structure.

It was already night, and apart from the Muggle administrators, he didn't see anyone else appear.

After observing for a while, Scott turned off the monitor.

He can't monitor in real time all the time; he can only quickly replay the stored surveillance footage after a period of time.

He quickly made a discovery on the second day of the surveillance.

Chapter 478 A Lively Evening at Edinburgh Castle

The previous night's surveillance footage showed a figure wearing a cloak and hood on the castle's gun emplacement.

The figure appeared suddenly in Edinburgh Castle; it was clearly an apparition.

Judging from her figure, Scott could tell that she was a woman.

In the video, the woman in the black robe did not stay; she appeared for only a second before disappearing again.

Scott quickly switched to the perspective of other "eyes" monitoring.

It took him some time to find that figure again in the old royal palace in the upper part of the castle.

The Leys Hall on the first floor of the palace is a banquet hall, as well as the former suites of the king and queen, which are now mainly used to display royal treasures.

The second floor has been transformed into the "Scottish Lights Gallery," a place to house and display items related to royal power and coronation ceremonies, such as the Scottish crown, scepter, sword, and Stone of Destiny.

At the entrance, there is a group of portraits of Scottish kings throughout history, as well as a sculpture depicting the scene of a king's coronation.

The lady who had infiltrated the castle stood before the portraits of the kings.

Scott zoomed in on the image, observing her more closely.

Upon arriving here, the woman finally removed the hood that had been covering half her face, revealing her true appearance.

It was a face that Scott recognized somewhat, but he couldn't immediately recall who the woman was.

"Dear Lady Slytherin."

She performed a respectful shamanistic bow before the enormous portrait of the king.

“Trinity Roll requests to speak with you.”

Upon hearing the voice coming from the [magic mirror], Scott finally remembered her identity.

This is Caitlin Roll's mother and Elijah Caro's aunt, whom Scott had seen in the trial room during Elijah Caro's trial.

It's no wonder Scott didn't recognize the woman at first glance; she looked very different from the last time he saw her.

When Scott first met her, the woman was a heartbroken mother who had lost her daughter. She did not seem strong and relied on her husband.

Although she is now thin and haggard, the madness in her eyes is chilling.

Just then, the huge portrait began to move.

The row of Scottish kings in the painting moved to the left and right, standing on both sides, and a new figure appeared in the very center of the painting.

She wore a long, green robe with wide sleeves, her upper face was covered by a semi-transparent black veil, and she wore a shimmering silver snake-shaped necklace.

It was Medea, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

"What brings you here, Trinity?"

"Dear Madam."

Mrs. Rolle took a step forward, getting closer to Medea in the painting.

"How much longer do I have to wait?" Her voice was hoarse. "I'm going crazy."

Medea was not angry at her almost offensive behavior.

She said softly, “It will be soon, Trinity. I promise I will avenge your husband and the other fallen comrades.”

"I can take my revenge right now!" Mrs. Roll said, almost frantically. "I can do it anytime, even if..."

"Patience, Trinity, patience."

Medea's voice was very gentle.

“We need you to continue to infiltrate the Death Eaters’ ranks, get close to Tom, and gain his trust. You’re doing a great job right now.”

“They didn’t suspect me; I was just a poor woman who lost her husband and daughter.”

Mrs. Roll murmured.

“I told them that I left the cult because they failed to save my husband.”

“The murderer who caused the loss of my daughter, Elijah Caro, as well as my cousins, the Caro twins, have all been killed. So I chose to join the mysterious man in order to protect the Roll family.”

"I also said that I would choose one of the remaining young twin sisters in the Carol family, Flora and Hestia, to inherit the Rohr family."

"They firmly believe this."

At this point, Mrs. Roll's expression changed, and she ruffled her hair.

"But I'm almost at my breaking point. Every time, I really want to take out my wand and kill them! Especially..."

“Calm down, Trinity,” Medea said. “Don’t even think about fighting. You should know how powerless you are against Tom. You have no chance.”

"Yes I know."

Mrs. Roll lowered her head, her disheveled hair obscuring her face.

"I can only carefully hide my true thoughts. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up."

“I believe you, Trinity. You are the most outstanding witch I have ever seen. Everyone underestimates you. Your Occlumency can even fool Tom.”

Medea's voice was extremely gentle.

"Remember my promise, I will recover very soon."

"Really?" Mrs. Rohr looked up abruptly. "Oh, esteemed lady, I'm not questioning you, it's just..."

"I know."

Medea in the painting still looks at her tenderly.

“I know you’ve sacrificed a lot, Trinity. Remember what I said?”

"I remember, I remember everything!"

Mrs. Rowe immediately knelt on the ground and reached out to touch the hem of Medea's robe in the portrait.

She tilted her head back, as if she were gazing upon her own god.

“You said you could bring my husband and daughter back to me.”

A strong hope shone in her eyes.

"Yes, I can. As long as I lift the curse, I can free your husband's soul from the curse."

Medea's tone was seductive.

"As long as I kill Tom, I can completely revive."

"Don't forget, the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, is in my hands."

“That is a treasure that my father, Salazar Slytherin, passed down to me.”

"Only when I am revived can I activate its energy."

"At that time, even your daughter, I can easily pull her back from another world."

She bent slightly and looked at Mrs. Rol.

"Do you believe me, Trinity?"

"I believe you, I believe you!"

Mrs. Rowe nodded repeatedly.

It's like a drowning person grabbing a straw, refusing to let go even in the face of death.

“Then continue to be patient.” Medea straightened up. “This is not for me, nor for the entire sorcery, but for your husband and daughter.”

“I…I understand,” Mrs. Roll continued, nodding.

Medea said softly, "Remember, don't take risks, don't act impulsively, Trinity, you must survive. Don't you want to greet your husband and daughter's return in the best possible light?"

Mrs. Rolle had completely calmed down by this time.

She stood up.

“I understand, dear lady. I will do as you say, and I will greet my husband and daughter with the best attitude.”

“Very good.” Medea nodded in satisfaction. “Go, Trinity. Don’t come here easily to avoid being discovered by the Death Eaters and Tom. It’s too dangerous.”

“I will comply with your wishes, dear Lady Slytherin.”

Mrs. Roll bowed again and then Apparated away.
