Chapter Twenty-Four: The Second Coming to the Library
Through the light mask, Canaan's figure appeared at the entrance of the library, and he cast a disillusionment spell on himself with his wand, and then walked in small steps.
Arriving on the first floor of the library, he found that all the hostage wizards had been driven to the center of the hall, where they had their wands confiscated and looked horrified, huddled together, surrounded by dozens of black-robed wizards with wands.
There were still a lot of scattered books scattered on the ground, and there were a few corpses that had just died, and the blood under them flowed down, reflecting the jade floor. Looks like a wizard who rebelled against them.
He suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and these corpses with body temperature made him see the cruelty of the wizarding world again.
Don't dare to relax his vigilance, Canaan stepped lightly, and walked forward cautiously, these dark wizards looked difficult to deal with, he felt that rescuing the hostages or something still depends on the mood, and saving his life is the most important thing.
"I know that there are still many of you hiding nearby, and we have no intention of killing you, as long as you stay here obediently, when the time comes, you will naturally be safe. A dark wizard who appeared to be the leader said.
"Of course, if you kill yourself and have to resist, you will end up like those who lie underground. As he spoke, he gestured to several corpses on the ground.
Canaan observed many black-robed wizards and found that their positions were extremely elaborate, and their black robes seemed to be alchemical items, making it difficult to see their faces.
He looked up at the third floor, there were also quite a few dark wizards there, and he roughly counted them, there were 23 wizards on each floor plus the black-robed wizards guarding the exits of the stairs. The strength of this organization was beyond his imagination.
Then he was more careful, slowly moving into a corner, not daring to make a sound, and then he took out the storage bag, and pulled out a small metal ball and a wooden cylinder the size of a palm.
Then he brought himself special earplugs and goggles, both of which were alchemy items from Hohenheim's after-school assignments, and in all of his video collections, these two items were considered intermediate-level alchemy items. It also took a lot of time for Canaan to make.
The metal ball is called the infrasound ball, and when activated, it will emit extremely low frequency infrasound waves, which can cause great damage to the human body.
The wooden cylinder is like a Muggle smoke bomb, called a cloud bomb, which emits a large amount of smoke gas after use, and in this gas Canaan adds a lot of coma agent, even if a wizard inhales a small amount of it, it will be put down.
He poured himself another antidote to the coma elixir, which was sweet and delicious. He likes to add honey without affecting the potion to enhance the taste of the potion.
These two things are also the strength of Canaan to dare to break into the magic union before, but now it seems that they will be used on this group of dark wizards.
"If nothing else, the purpose of this organization should be the fourth floor of the library, the place where the magic circle is engraved on the entrance staircase. However, it is not known what happened to Schuster at this time, but it seems that he has not been caught yet. Canaan thought.
In Canaan's opinion, it was safest to stay downstairs, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the American Aurors and this organization if it was not necessary.
Moreover, every staircase in the library is guarded, and Canaan, who does not apparition, may not be able to reach the fourth floor with only the illusion charm.
In this way, Canaan crouched quietly in the corner, watching the situation develop.
"The gap between the strength of the enemy and us is too large, so let's be obscene. ", he thought.
After a while, a loud shout suddenly came from upstairs, "He's on the third floor, catch him!"
"Bang-", Canaan heard the sound of a fierce fight, what seemed to be the sound of a splitting spell hitting an object and exploding.
"It's so intense!", Canaan looked out.
I saw a black-robed wizard being knocked down from the third floor, and the leading dark wizard on the first floor caught him easily with a wave of his wand.
"Go up and see the ten people, and the wizard guarding the staircase don't move, and be on guard. He commanded, in a tough tone.
Canaan looked around, and he saw that the fighting on the third floor had stopped. At this time, the whole hall was also silent.
At this time, a black-robed wizard came below and muttered a few words in the ear of the leading wizard.
The leading wizard nodded, and then said loudly: "Originally, we just planned to get the things and leave, and we didn't intend to hurt people, but there are always some people who don't cooperate. ”
"Mr. Schuster, Mr. Auror of the Magical Congress of America, I know you're here, and I know you have the key to it, as long as you hand it over. I will not hold anyone accountable for you who have injured us, and I will not even hurt you in the slightest. He shouted to the entire hall again.
"What if, you don't pay?"
"Then I'll kill one randomly here in a minute, you know my determination about that thing!", he suddenly raised his voice and said viciously.
Canaan was on the sidelines as a melon eater, and although he had never had a good opinion of the Auror leader, he was also curious about Schuster's decision. But even if Schuster doesn't shoot, he will do it when necessary.
After the leading wizard finished speaking, he looked around vigilantly, and after a while, there was no movement around.
"Very well, is human life so worthless in your hearts? ”
He pulled a little girl out of the crowd, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying for a long time.
After the girl was pulled out, she didn't cry, but just looked at the leader with wide eyes, as if she wanted to remember his appearance, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything, and it was only pitch black in the black robe.
"Her parents were just killed by me, and I hate those who resist, so I guess their blood is still hot!" he paused, pointing his wand at the woman, "Now, I'll send her to be reunited with her parents." ”
Seeing that the situation was critical, Canaan also clenched his wand and prepared to throw the infratone orb out. Although it may hurt the innocent, but at this time, there are too many dark wizards in this group, and the cloud bomb is afraid that it will not be able to solve so many people, and the chaos created may hurt the innocent.
"The key is given to you, and the man is released. A key fell from the air and rolled to the feet of the leader wizard, and Schuster's voice echoed throughout the library, making it impossible to locate him.
At the signal of the leading wizard, a black-robed wizard stepped forward to pick up the key, and after checking that there were no problems, he handed it to the leading wizard.
"Very well, if you had done this, you might not have died so many people, would you?" he replied loudly, smiling at the crowd again.
"You guys stay here and watch. After the leader wizard gave the order, he took the key and prepared to walk to the third floor.
Canaan saw that there were still five black-robed wizards left on the first floor, one guarding the staircase, and the remaining four surrounding the crowd.
"It's hard to do it!" Canaan muttered as he saw the lead wizard gradually leave. He found that this organization was too vigilant, and with his strength, there was absolutely no way to deal with five people at the same time.
He didn't have any illusions that he would jump out and kill five enemies at once and empty the whole field.
"Well, if you don't hurt the hostages, I won't do it. As if convinced of himself, Canaan decided that he wanted to be as steady as an old dog, and his own life was also important.
At this time, Schuster, who was originally hidden, suddenly revealed his figure and shouted: "Do it!"
I saw several wizards suddenly appear from all around and attack the five black-robed wizards in the hall.
"Except for your weapons!"
"Faint!"
......
The three black-robed wizards were instantly knocked down and lost their combat effectiveness, only two black-robed wizards narrowly escaped the spell, they immediately took out their wands, retreated to the bookshelf outside the hall, and fought back with the help of the bookshelf.
"You stay here and protect the people of the hall. Schuster said to a few people, and he rushed up to the third floor alone.
"What a martyr!" Canaan exclaimed, looking at the indomitable Schuster. Now that the hostages are safe, he won't be ready to rush stupidly.
His gaze looked at the two black-robed wizards who were still resisting, and it should be no problem to kill them.
Then, still maintaining his illusion charm, he slipped behind the two black-robed wizards who were fighting.
"It's all petrified!" he took out his wand and shot at one of the black-robed wizards in the back, and then shouted at the other black-robed wizard who had just reacted, "Remove your weapons!"
The two black-robed wizards couldn't react and lost their combat effectiveness in an instant.
Sure enough, sneaking up from behind is the right way to open a wizard's battle!
