Chapter 4: The Land of Wishes

What is the most important thing for a top-level warrior? Some people think it's talent, some think it's skill, some think it's will. In the age of the end of the law, fighting could break out at any time, and for most warriors, their lives were all about fighting. Walk on the edge of life and death, always on your toes, and burst into full potential at any time.

The advent of the era of the end of the law is nothing more than the destruction of the demon gods who cannot adapt to the environment and the subsequent human race. And for the Star Monarch, the destruction of creatures is the arrival of a new world.

The rules are like this, the old world is the nourishment of the new world, and the new world must pay tribute to the old world. Since the beginning of the Demon God Era, it has gone through countless calamities. Different worlds have given birth to different civilizations. But here's the strange thing: even though we're only a part of the higher dimensions, there's still no proper origin for the entire space.

Or even now, we still appear out of thin air. We are in a low-dimensional space, and there is a more dimensional space above us, and there are more developed civilizations. If the 11-dimensional space really exists, then where does the 11-dimensional space come from?

And for the wizarding world now, whether magic is improving or not, wizards themselves are in decline. For Muggles, the knowledge and skills that are constantly being born are forcing Muggles to evolve step by step. For those ordinary Muggles, ordinary abilities are enough for him to live an ordinary life, but for those top Muggles, they have begun to realize that the world is starting to get out of control.

The more we know, the more we master, but the weaker we are. Convenient transportation has made the world smaller, but at the same time, our range of activities has also become smaller. The explosion of information allows us to know more, only to find out that we don't really know anything.

This loss of control makes the role of the individual less and less, and the collective will becomes extremely confused in the dream of freedom. The Muggles who advocated freedom became themselves free burials.

In such a situation, they will either continue to evolve to adapt to the world of information explosion, or they will be swallowed up by the newly born power and become an invisible speck of dust in the reincarnation of countless civilizations for thousands of years.

Hogwarts, as the best wizarding school in the world today, has an incomparable influence among ordinary wizards. If the dark clouds of terrorist attacks loom over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, then the entire wizarding Britain can be counted to the last moment of life and death.

The wizarding army has completed the integration of the European continent, and although the magic of several countries is still resisting, it is only a matter of time before Gellert Grindelwald, who holds the "Emperor", destroys these ministries of magic.

For a long time, Wizarding Britain has relied on subtle political maneuvers to avoid the emergence of a unified European Ministry of Magic, and in this way, Wizarding Britain can have more say and leverage on the European continent. By moving between continents, Wizarding Britain has gained the best interest for itself.

The reason why Hogwarts can become the most famous school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world is inseparable from the powerful power of wizarding Britain. Ever since the ancient war wizard England was torn apart from the European continent, the country's wizards have been traveling beyond the continent.

Now that Gellert Grindelwald has made a strong comeback, the Wizarding Army has once again become the largest force in all of Europe. The Wizengamot is already feeling the pressure. Minister Fudge insisted on holding the tournament to show his strength, and on the other hand, he hoped to unite more allies to fight against the behemoth of the wizarding army.

Neither Bubbaston nor Durmstrang supported the Wizarding Army, and at this time, these two schools also became important strongholds on the European continent against Gellert Grindelwald. The situation is moving faster than anyone thinks. According to the latest information, the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, located in the northwest corner of Europe, has already been attacked once.

This is only a superficial crisis, and the appearance of the Rain Summoner has shown that this is not a simple war between countries, but a more deadly dimensional war.

The students were poisoned, the professors were unknown, the strongest Albus Dundedon was missing, and although the Aurors arrived in time, no Aurors had appeared in the school until now, and the situation on the Quidditch pitch was probably not much better.

After knocking down the black-robed wizard, Xie An dodged the counterattack of the other black-robed wizards, his speed was faster than the enemy, and the two sides exchanged spells, Xie An dodged the spells twice, and then blew the last black-robed wizard away with a powerful shattering of bones.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe for the time being, Xie An entered the office. It was a mess inside, as if a storm had raged, and in the corner of the roof, Xie An saw an irregular film-like enchantment sealing Elder Dora.

The elf is short in stature, but its magic power is not weak at all, Elder Dora was temporarily sealed in the corner, and when he saw Xie An appear, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The space within the membrane is imprisoned, and the elders are unable to use any magic, and this seal is dedicated to the elves.

"Stop!" had no effect. Spells work well for elves in general, but they may be worse for wizards. But this enchantment seems to have taken into account the wizard's situation at the same time, and Xie An's first attempt failed.

"Tear it apart!" The spell hit the wall, but the wall didn't explode, as if something had taken the spell's power.

"Witchcraft erosion!" Xie An has not yet mastered the powerful time magic, and at this time the erosion magic is already the strongest magic Xie An can use, or the ancient magic that he learned from Queen Anne. Smoke of magic swirled out of the wand, flying swiftly towards the target, like ice flowers on the glass, and soon strange patterns began to appear on the film.

The erosion spell is in effect. This kind of magic Xie An had only seen in the Demon Pattern Formation, and it was the first time that he had cast a spell. Fortunately, Xie An had experience in operating the "peeling" magic pattern formation before, and although the principles of the two magic were different, the effect was indeed the same.

The erosion magic stopped the cycle of the enchantment's magic, freezing the entire enchantment and shattering it into ashes like a dead leaf that had lost all moisture.

"Poof. "The moment the barrier was shattered, Elder Dora had already disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Xie An.

"Andrew, I didn't expect you to help me, I thought it would be Albus Dundondor!" Elder Dora said.

"Elder, Principal Albus Dunledore doesn't know why it hasn't appeared yet, what is going on?, what kind of poison is among the students?" Xie An hurriedly asked.

Elder Dora frowned slightly, "Albus Dumbledore hasn't returned now, could it be that Voldemort made a move?" The students were not poisoned, and those black-robed wizards forced the elves to add water of life and death to their food. ”

Water of Life and Death is a powerful sleeping pill that can put a giant with strong resistance to magic into a deep sleep with just a small drop, and for ordinary wizards, a drop of water of life and death is enough to put dozens of wizards into a deep sleep. In this way, although the Raincaller wanted to attack Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he did not intend to kill.

"Poisonous potions, if used in Hogwarts Castle, will cause an enchantment alarm. But the water of life and death is not considered poison, so it was added to the food smoothly. The enchantment was tricked. The professors didn't find out either. Elder Dora explained.

"But I also had breakfast, why didn't I fall asleep?" Xie An asked strangely.

"I don't know, maybe there's something special about you. Now is not the time to discuss it, my elves have all been taken from their souls, and now I don't know where they were sent. Elder Dora came out of the office and saw two black-robed wizards lying on the floor.

"They should be under control to carry out the vigilance mission. I just met your son. Now he's in the hallway. Xie An deduced that those black-robed wizards should not have enough manpower, so they sent the elves to guard.

Ordinary pokemon do not actively appear in front of wizards. Xie An's status among the elves is very high, and the strange behavior of the logistics minister made Xie An suspicious for the first time. Fortunately, Xie An relied on attack magic to forcibly interrupt the effect of the Soul Snatcher Curse to rescue the Minister of Logistics.

"Where? Let's go and see. "Elder Dora is very worried about her son and the other elves.

The two of them returned to the hallway one after the other, Elder Dora had already sensed the invisible magic, and she pointed to the empty wall in front of her, which was full of color, and the Minister of Logistics leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly closed.

Elder Dora hurried over to see what was going on. "Ahh

"You're fine!" Elder Dora hugged her son, turned to Xie An and said, "The other elves are also under the Imperius Curse, we need to act quickly to avoid more serious consequences." ”

Although the rest time was short, the logistics minister had regained some strength, and the forced interruption of the Imperius Curse was a little better, and he was able to walk freely at this time.

"Leave him here. Let's go now. Elder Dora comforted her and cast an invisibility spell to leave the Minister of Logistics behind.

"There's also an adult wizard with me, and I think he's supposed to go to the teacher's quarters. We are now going to meet him. Shea deduced that Barty Jr. should go to the classrooms first. It would be much better if we could join up with Professor McGonagall.

After passing the tower, there were already awakened students appearing one after another, but the effect of the water of life and death was completely gone, and many students fell asleep again after being awakened.

Elder Dora pulled out a number of glass bottles out of thin air and handed them to a student who was trying to wake up his classmates again. "Smell this for him, maybe it will have a good effect. "Interrupting the effect of potions with spells, very poorly. For example, the Compound Decoction cannot be interrupted by Transfiguration, and the wizard can only recover after the effect of the medicine automatically disappears.

The water of life and death is not poison, so there is no good antidote. The student took it suspiciously, uncorked it, and put the bottle under the nose of the still sleepy classmate, and let him smell it.

"Ah Ah ~ Ah Ah ~ .." After several sneezes, he finally woke up completely.

"That's mustard!" Elder Dora explained to Shea. After distributing a dozen bottles of mustard to everyone, the two continued to rush to the teacher's area. When I entered the second floor, I already heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Barty, who had been at a disadvantage, successfully attacked a black-robed wizard, believing that those wizards were holding back most of their power by the professors, and had no energy to chase him at this time, so he began to sneak attack unscrupulously.

Seeing Shay Ann and an old elf appear, Barty smiled as he hid in the corner, then pointed to the corridor in the distance with his wand.

Xie An immediately understood what was going on: those black-robed wizards had used the same methods as Elder Dora. They sealed the professors. After a minute or so, no black-robed wizard appeared, and Xie An and Elder Dora hurriedly ran over to meet little Barty.

"What's the situation?" Xie An asked directly.

"I'm not sure, I can't get close, there are at least a few dozen enemies over there. Still, the professors seem to be resisting. ”

"Is it an enchantment? I feel a huge void in the space over there. Elder Dora said.

"It's too dangerous for the three of us to go up, so we can only harass here. Barty Jr. shook his head, not sure.

Xie An looked at the entrance to the teacher's quarters, which seemed quiet and empty at this time. That's the appearance, as Elder Dora said, the space over there has actually been cut off, and only by entering the barrier can you understand what the situation is. But I didn't understand the situation inside, so I rushed in, and it was extremely dangerous.

Xie An looked at the black-robed wizard who had just been knocked down, and used his wand to levitate his body, "Elder, the situation can't wait any longer now. The situation at the Quidditch pitch is unknown, and the Aurors have not yet appeared in the castle, and I suspect they are in a bitter battle. We've got to find a way to get into the teacher quarters. ”

"What are you going to do?" asked Elder Dora.

"Barty, you use magic to control this body, and Elder Dora and I use an invisibility spell to hide behind and force our way in. Xie An explained. The situation was urgent, and the three of them discussed the details a little and began to act.

Little Barty used a spell to control the black-robed wizard's body, and Elder Dora and Shayne followed closely behind after becoming invisible. In front of the entrance, there was nothing abnormal, and little Barty couldn't see the invisible Elder Andora, and after a slight pause in his body, he rushed in.

"Bang!poof!boom!" Xie An and Elder Dora followed, and as soon as they entered, they were attacked by several spells, and in the blink of an eye, the black-robed wizard's body was blown to pieces by the spell.

The speed of the battle between the wizards was extremely fast, Xie An immediately dodged the spell, and with a soft pop beside him, Elder Dora had already phantomed. At this time, both of them were still invisible.

It's a weirdly twisted enchantment. The space in the corridor was completely distorted, and the originally rectangular space seemed to be forced into an irregular ball. Xie An didn't know about the Riemann magic space that the warriors had encountered at this time. This enchantment is one such space.

The distorted space was a hundred times larger than it actually was, the Demon Pattern Formation forbade the Phantom Shift, and the professors were gathering at the other end of the corridor at this time, fighting frantically with dozens of black-robed wizards.

The demonic pattern formation made it impossible for the professors to leave, and the distorted space allowed the black-robed wizards to attack the professors from different angles. Xie An couldn't apparilate in the castle, and the position he was in now was right behind the black-robed wizard, opposite the professors. Most of the attacks just now came from the professors.

The black-robed wizard did not react to the tragic death of his companion and continued to attack the professors frantically. Xie An noticed that almost all the professors, including Professor Binns the ghost, were gathered within an enchantment.

Every time the black-robed wizard attacks, it will cause ripples on the barrier, but there is no way to penetrate the barrier. Mrs. Pins and Severus Snape are struggling to maintain the barrier, and Professor Minerva McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Pomona Sprout all seem to be injured!

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not a combat school, and the professors are not specialized warriors, so even if these professors are extremely talented, they can only hide in the enchantment like Professor Sybil Trelawney and try not to cause trouble. They have little combat effectiveness.

From the black-robed wizard being blown to pieces to the time Elder Dora made a move, it only took a few seconds in between. The powerful magic exploded among the black-robed wizards like a wave of rage, and in an instant, the black-robed wizards closest to Elder Dora were directly blown out. Xie An couldn't use all his magic power at this time, such a large-scale magic couldn't be used at all, and he didn't rush to make a move. Elder Dora's strength was not much worse than Albus Dundon's, and if it weren't for the preparation of these black-robed wizards, they would not have been able to control the elder at all.

Severus Snape saw that powerful magic suddenly erupted in the void, and the expression of Mu Ran, who had been maintaining the Occlumency technique for a long time, also showed a rare expression of relief.

The black-robed wizards were shocked by the powerful magic, and they all fell into a daze, and Elder Dora did not stop casting summoning magic, and many thick vines grew out of thin air on the ground, winding around the black-robed wizards.

A few of the dozens of black-robed wizards were just blocked by their companions, and they didn't suffer much damage, and after a short period of vertigo, they had recovered and turned to attack Elder Dora.

According to the Ministry of Magic, elves cannot actively attack wizards. In this situation, of course, Elder Dora would not hesitate, and the crimson ** spell continued to shoot out from the elder's fingertips, attacking those black-robed wizards who had not yet been knocked down.

There are a large number of black-robed wizards, and they are clearly specially trained. At this time, after the vertigo, it is not so easy to knock down. Fortunately, most of them have been knocked down before. In addition, only Elder Dora can phantom change, and Xie An does not have to make a move at this time. He remained invisible, staring at a spot on the edge of the professor's barrier. Just now, when Elder Dora's impact magic exploded, a strange light flashed there!

Something is hiding there! And invisibility!

"It's an elf! How could it be her?, Lord Headmaster?" Mrs. Pince breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a fluke. The professors actually all had breakfast. Mrs. Pince is the administrator of the library, which generally opens late. She also eats breakfast a little later than the rest of the staff.

And Severus Snape, as a top potions master, immediately understood that he might have been poisoned after discovering that he was in an abnormal state, and after a little speculation, Severus Snape had already understood that his food was poisoned. Thinking about the strange taste in the bread, the magician immediately guessed that it was most likely life and death water added to the bread.

There is no specific antidote to the Death Potion as a powerful sleeping potion, but Severus Snape has another potion that can counteract the effects of the Death Water! After taking a small sip of the Elixir, Severus Snape felt a little better. He realizes that this could be a huge conspiracy against the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Severus Snape hurried out of his seat, trying to inform the other professors.

Albus Dumbledore had left the castle yesterday. At this time, Professor McGonagall was in charge of the school as the Deputy Principal. Severus Snape hurried all the way to the ground, and he was even more anxious when he saw a student fall asleep.

On the way, Mrs. Pince was about to go to dinner, and Mrs. Pince was very surprised that the students were constantly sleeping, but Severus Snape did not explain much, and the two continued to the professor's quarters.

Who knew that by the time they arrived in the professor's quarters, the professors had already gone to sleep. Severus Snape had to be forcibly awakened by a spell, and after falling asleep, the elixir was no longer effective, and only caused the professors to keep dreaming.

After waking up a few professors, the black-robed wizard has infiltrated the professorial area. Along the way, all the students fell asleep, and the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry fell into a deep sleep.

The enemy came prepared. The action here is in perfect sync with the Quidditch pitch. The Aurors were drawn all their attention to the Quidditch pitch and ignored the castle. The castle was the main target of the operation.

In front of the room, Voldemort stared silently at the wall in front of him. There was a hissing gasp in the snake-like nostrils, and the pupils in the eyes had completed the vertical pupils. After taking possession of Nagini's body, Voldemort has completely transformed into a one-of-a-kind monster. Strictly speaking, he can't be considered a wizard right now.

Beside him, there stood another wizard, this wizard was wrapped in black wizard robes, even his head was wrapped in a hood, and he hung his head slightly, unable to see what he looked like.

"If it weren't for the guarantees of those goblins at Gringotts, I wouldn't venture into here, so let's get started now, you monsters. Voldemort hissed.

"Gold is power, isn't it? Lord Voldemort, don't be in such a hurry, we have plenty of time. This is the legendary 'Land of Wishes'. The black-robed wizard replied in a hoarse voice, his pace of speech slow, as if he hadn't said a word, and he had to think for a long time.

"Hmph, it's just an ingenious magical space that can be turned into a room for different purposes, and I don't see anything magical about it. Voldemort said coldly.

"Huh. Although you claim to be the strongest wizard in the country, don't blame me for beating you, in front of me, you are just a beginner who has just gotten a glimpse of the way. Don't use your shallow insight to explain. The black-robed wizard struck without hesitation.

Voldemort's forked tongue spat out and let out a furious hiss, and the black-robed wizard didn't seem to realize that Voldemort next to him was the most dangerous dark wizard in the world. The dangerous killing light in the vertical pupil flashed, and Voldemort finally didn't make a move, he had some scruples.

"It seems that you are not hopelessly arrogant. Seeing that Voldemort didn't make a move in the end, the black-robed wizard said coldly, "Now let you see what magic is." ”

The black-robed wizard stretched out his thin fingers and began to draw the magic pattern out of thin air: this magic pattern was very complicated, first an oval-shaped eye-like strange magic pattern, after the drawing, it was suspended in the air, then a magic pattern formation similar to a six-pointed star, which was also complicated, and after the drawing, it was also suspended in the air, and then a magic pattern formation that looked like a tower, this was the most complicated, it took the first two twice as long, and after the drawing was completed, it emitted a golden light.

Then the black-robed wizard moved three demonic formations at the same time, the eye-shaped demonic pattern formation was suspended above, the six-pointed star was below, and the tower-shaped one was in the middle. After a low chant, the three demonic formations merged into one, constantly rotating, and the whole body emitted strong magical fluctuations.

The incantation chanted by the black-robed wizard was not in any of the languages Voldemort knew. Voldemort traveled all over the world. He had never heard such a language.

After chanting this three times, the six-pointed star pattern erupted with a strong light, and after passing through the tower-shaped pattern, it refracted from the eye-shaped pattern formation and shone on the wall of the room of requirement.

For a moment, Voldemort wondered if the wall in front of him had become transparent: flashes of light, flashes of light, some appeared to be a small broomroom, some looked like a bathroom, some looked like a utility room, a training ground, a lounge, a kitchen, a library, a bathroom..... In short, different scenes passed by. The appearance of the Room of Requirement has appeared.

But this is obviously not what the black robe needs, the light of the six-pointed star demon pattern is getting brighter and brighter, and the light refracted by it has become dazzling. At this point, the projections on the wall changed into something Voldemort had never seen before: hovering furniture, tall trees, animals running by...

After another moment, the light emitted by the Demon Pattern Formation was already like substance, and the projection was as if it had materialized. It's just that these projections are not physical objects, but rather patches of strange gray mist, in which occasional balls of light of extremely colorful colors flash.

The orbs of light were so brilliant in color that they weren't real. The Eye Pattern emitted a gray light that shone from one colored ball of light to another, stopping at the seventh.

It was a single gray ball of light, and Voldemort wouldn't have even noticed this ball of light in the gray mist if it weren't for the Magic Ray rays.
