Chapter 131: The Beginning of Strategic Magic (Ask for the First Order, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

"Wake up, wake up. Ryan felt someone shaking him in his dream as a female voice rang in his ears.

When I opened my eyes, my vision slowly cleared. The face of a young black woman appeared in front of him, and Ryan finally came back to his senses. I thought I had just asked the railway agent to call himself when the time was up.

"Okay, I'm awake. Thanks for the reminder. After saying that, Ryan got out of his sleeping bag, took out a bottle of water, washed his face, and sobered up.

Pulling out his pocket watch, Ryan found that it was half past three in the morning, and it was time to begin.

After asking the agent to wait in the middle of the tunnel, Ryan walked up to the altar and pulled out his wand. Xiaoqing, who had been wrapped around his left arm as an armband, swam down from his arm and fell onto the altar. Then it turned into a python-sized circle around the altar, and its upper body stood up, sticking its head as high as Ryan's head.

Once she was in place, Ryan began to wave her wand and chant incantations. And Xiaoqing's body slowly rotated around the altar with the rhythm of the incantation.

As the incantation was chanted, the runes inlaid with gold and silver on the altar were lit one after another, emitting a hazy white glow, which grew brighter and brighter, and finally even overshadowed the brightness of the emergency lights on the wall.

At this time, the light on the runes no longer continued to brighten. Under the command of Ryan's spell, the runes composed of white light slowly detached from the altar, and then began to rotate around the altar with the wave of Ryan's wand, forming a white band of light flying in the air.

Unlike Ryan's previous ritual magic that soothes the undead, Ryan now uses strategic magic that has been nearly lost in the modern wizarding world.

Strategic magic unleashing requires prior preparation and requires a cast that does not move for a long time when activated. If this world were a magical world, Ryan would never use this kind of magic. Because when the spell is cast, the place where the spell is cast will show an abnormal magic reaction. Without the help of a large number of personnel to help cover the person who unleashes strategic magic, he will become a living target for being set on fire.

In the world of Harry Potter, as wizards closed themselves off from the Muggle world, this magic used in large-scale warfare gradually disappeared. After all, the population of the wizarding world is not very large, and the wars that lead to pure wizarding are often small-scale battles. As a result, this kind of strategic magic, which is used on a large scale, slowly fades out of the wizarding world.

Ryan was fortunate enough to retain a lot of strategic magic in the ancient Viking wizard legacy. However, compared to the undead army recorded in the Legends, large-scale magic such as the restoration of the Holy Land. The Fog of Exhaustion that Ryan is using today is just a weakened version of some of the vanilla magic.

After all, if it is the original, it will either require a large number of precious magic materials, a powerful wizard as the caster, or a sufficient number of trained wizards to release it together. So, for the sake of convenience, wizards researched a lot of cut-down versions of strategic magic that could be used by a wizard on a daily basis.

Naturally, this abridged version is much less magical. For example, the original Fog of Exhaustion can release a magical fog that covers a small city from a few kilometers away, while the cut version can only cover the size of a base at close range.

Today, since it was the first time Ryan had used this kind of magic, out of an abundance of caution, he used the Legacy Segmented Spellcasting Technique. This technique allows you to inject mana that needs to be injected all at once without affecting the power of the mana. It's just that this will consume more mana overall, and it will greatly extend the cast time.

For example, today's magic theoretically only takes ten minutes to unleash. However, Ryan was worried that his mana reserve would not be able to be completed in one go, so he stretched the entire casting time to thirty minutes. This way, Ryan has enough time to regain his mana and release his magic.

As a result, this technique is not suitable for use in wizarding battles in most cases in the Harry Potter world, as the cast time is several times longer enough for the opponent to beat the segmented caster into a sieve.

Half of the time has passed, and Ryan's spell casting has reached its climax. As the spell was chanted, Xiaoqing also opened her mouth and spat out puffs of pale green mist that filled the basement.

Slowly, under the command of the wand, the mist began to merge with the white glowing characters in the air. The characters also turned into an ominous green glow.

Finally, an emerald green light filled the entire basement. Xiaoqing stopped spewing out mist, and the whole snake showed a feeling of exhaustion. Beads of sweat also appeared on Ryan's forehead, bursts of soreness came from his arms, and his throat was also hot.

But he gritted his teeth and insisted, because the magic was about to be unleashed. At the chanting of the incantation, one green light after another went up through the ceiling to the ground. When the characters were exposed to the ground, they quickly faded all their colors and turned into a pale white mist, and then slowly drifted towards the airport.

If it were daytime, this anomaly would most likely be detected by the sentinels. But it was night, and the sentinels weren't as vigilant as they were during the day. Not to mention that the airport is right on the seaside, and there is often heavy fog here at night.

Luckily, it happened to be a foggy day, so the mist produced by the magic was mixed into the sea fog. No one noticed this unusual situation. Over time, a magical mist completely enveloped the Brotherhood's base. At the moment when Ryan's magic was completely unleashed. The Brotherhood members suddenly found themselves paralyzed and unable to move, and then went black and unconscious.

After the ceremony, Ryan sat on the altar with his buttocks, feeling a strong sense of exhaustion from his body to his soul, and Xiaoqing was also tired and collapsed to the side of the altar motionless. But he knew that there was still something to do at this time, and it was not the time to rest.

So Ryan made Xiaoqing shrink to the size of an earthworm and put it in a bottle full of sunlight crystals in his jacket pocket. Then he pulled the rope on the wall as agreed.

The other end of the rope is connected to a bell in the safe house. Ryan had told the others that if the bell was a success, his magic would be successful, and that anyone who was attacked by magic would be in a state of unwaking stupor. All they need to do is deal with the automatic weapons set up by the Brotherhood.

After sitting against the wall for a while, Ryan packed up everything in the basement. Then slowly walk down the passage in the direction of the safe house.

Struggling to climb out of the mouth of the tunnel, Ryan found everyone in the room sitting nervously looking at the door. After hearing a noise in the tunnel, a militiaman pulled Ryan out of the tunnel.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ryan in a whisper.

"We sent the scouts out. Nai nodded and said. "Hopefully he can bring us good news. ”
