Chapter 30: Stormy Waves (1)
Most of the people didn't know what was going on, and there was a lot of noise inside. There is a clear spring next to the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, and several people are pouring water into their mouths. The food was only found with salted jerky, and the devil knows how many hundred years it had been placed.
"Who's going to ask how long this thing has been sitting out?" said one of them, rubbing his stomach and weakly, "I didn't eat lunch." ”
A transparent head peeks through the wall.
"Three hundred and seventy years, you can eat with confidence. He said maliciously.
"Fuck off!" the bag of jerky slammed against the wall, and the crowd quickly trampled it to the ground.
This is just a transit point, and if things don't go well, you can evacuate the castle directly. Regardless of the long-term holdout, all shelters were mostly empty, except for a few chairs and a table.
People surrounded Phoenix, hoping to figure out what was going on. But he himself was confused, and he was uneasy that this attack was likely to be beyond the norm.
It took a while for important people to crowd up at the table, and the fireplace was lit up and the lighting was much better.
"What's going on?" he asked again.
"Something is wrong. Love gasped, not knowing whether he was running or frightened.
"We've got an internal report from the Muggle government—" Brandy said as his boss gasped speechless, "the vast majority of the world is in a state of emergency, and unusual things have been found in the Pacific, North Atlantic, and Mediterranean—" He took out a document and handed it to Phoenix, "It's magic, and we don't know the specifics of magic for the time being." Muggles didn't understand what was going on, but they weren't outright fools, and the government was debating a plan to evacuate the coastal population. ”
The document was written in such a sloppy manner that it did not look like an official document at all. It was probably impromptu, he thought to himself, it couldn't have been written when he ran away just now.
"We have determined that the sea walls of the Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic, and the Mediterranean Sea, which are currently about 200 meters high, are still rising before we raise the alarm. "If it's a tsunami, rushing to the coast at 7 or 800 kilometers per hour, none of the Muggles will survive." ”
"The Tsunami Curse isn't so powerful, during the Battle of Salami Bay—"
"It was more than 2,000 years ago, and someone improved it. Love angrily slapped the table, but fortunately there was nothing on it, "In that case, the whole of the Americas, Oceania, Africa, and most of Eurasia would be destroyed by a tsunami." We can't run either, and a lot of wizards will die. ”
"Notify all magical families at once—"
"It's too late, a few hours to finish. Not to mention, how many people believe, and perhaps most people think it is a prank, or an April Fool's joke made by the Ministry of Magic. Brandy vetoed.
Phoenix didn't say a word, and Hermione put her hand on her shoulder and squeezed it a little harder. He slowly pulled out a cigarette and ignored the crowd of arguing people.
"Quiet. It wasn't loud, but everyone immediately shut up.
Spit out a smoke ring, Phoenix asked.
"Is there a similar situation in other seas besides these seas?"
"I don't know," Love replied immediately, "that's not our area to be responsible for. ”
"Is it just a tsunami?"
"The blow should still be a simple impact, but the sea water may continue to rush inland at high speed under the influence of magic. He added, "It's just speculation, we can't know for sure." The magic is powered by magic texts, and the source has not yet been found. ”
"If you can be sure that it's a magic text, don't look for it, look for a needle in a haystack. Phoenix took half a cigarette in one go, "Map." ”
Mercedes took out a map and spread it on the table, tapped it with his wand, and immediately appeared information about all of Peverell's military powers, castles, herb farms, and magical creatures.
"Can you make a safe area?" Phoenix looked at Love.
"The north-western and central parts of Russia, the northern regions of northern Europe, may be safe. Love exchanged a few words with Brandy, drawing a circle on the map with his wand, "The good news is that no walls of sea have been found in the Black Sea. ”
Looking at the marked areas on the map, everyone's hearts sank. It's too small, and it's too far. It requires a cross-border Floo network and a portkey - Phantom Shifter does not have the same universality as the first two - and requires a lot of work and documentation to be opened, otherwise the volume of transport is extremely limited. They weren't designed with so many wizards moving at the same time.
"We're in danger?" said a drunken wizard who burped.
"Idiot, if you can't beat us, shall we huddle together for a veneer ball?" Brandy yelled in annoyance.
"Shut up!" Phoenix snapped, "marking the location of the sea wall." ”
Several points were immediately marked with brandy, as well as the distance from the coastline. The Mediterranean Sea wall is so badly positioned that if it were to advance towards the mainland at such a rapid pace, there would be no time to react.
"3 to 4 hours to Lisbon and about the same time to Penzance or Boston. The position of the sea wall is calculated. "The Pacific Ocean is controlled by the Chinese Ministry of Magic, and they only tell us the height of the wall but not the distance."
"Send someone to ask right away. Without looking up, Phoenix said, "Can you stop it?"
Everyone looked at each other. Generally speaking, this type of magic was not uncommon in ancient warfare, and the solution was to destroy the caster or source of magic. Because the magic takes a long time to prepare and there is a lot of movement, it is not difficult to do. Now they may only have a few hours to prepare, no more than twelve hours at most, which is too little, judging by past experience.
"Yes. "The large standard protective charm, it should do, the armor charm has an invisible entity, it should be able to block the tsunami." In this case, we are exposed, and we can't be covered at all, how can we explain that a huge wave hundreds of meters high has stopped on the shore-"
"We can't die without help," Phoenix interrupted, "and this may be a good start for our two worlds, and we need to work together." ”
There was an idea, but Phoenix didn't say it. Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes is planning to do this. If the wizarding world wants to save Muggles, they will expose themselves, and if they don't save them, I'm afraid that most people will be burdened with their hearts, and in order to get rid of it, the Ministry of Magic will bear the brunt of it, and maybe the international order and law that they have worked so hard to manage for hundreds of years will collapse.
Although it is not known who the opponent is, they give the existing authorities a dilemma. It's easy to die and not be saved, but it's also the most uncontrollable and even the most dangerous. Helping Muggles is very difficult and requires excellent organizational skills and execution. The probability of success is not high, but once successful, you can temporarily grasp the situation.
It will not collapse the order of the two worlds at once.
"Tell the Ministries of Magic in all regions to issue an emergency summoning order immediately. Arrange large standard protective charms along the coastline - by the way, what about the British Ministry of Magic?"
"Most of the Law Enforcement Division is on the hunt for Dafoss, the man who threatened the Ministry. Hermione said.
"Let them come back at once, Billo, you go with Hermione to the minister. Let him start with Ness," his wand drew a green line, "all the way to Penzance." ”
The two immediately left the fireplace.
"France, starting with Penzance, do not let go of the English Channel and wrap it in. He went on in one breath, "Switzerland, East Francia—"
"They changed their name in the first half of the year, Vienna—"
"Just know who I'm talking about. With a wave of his hand, he interrupted the speaker, "Go to the south of France to set up defenses." ”
