Chapter 723 - Hole Cards

Sensing the attack of the werewolves, Ryan immediately summoned the puppet team on standby in the sky city out of cautious consideration, while Hermione stepped out of the tent and prepared to use some protective magic to protect the temporarily immobile people in the room.

After watching Hermione step out of the tent, Ryan went to the edge of the Hopping Cauldron to check on the current situation of the magic cauldron. He needed to figure out how to stop the magic on the Hopping Pot from being activated.

Although that magic has greatly weakened its attack power against a single target in order to pursue the maximum damage range, even a little bit of magic in the body can prevent this cursed magic from entering the body and causing bad consequences. But considering Southampton, one of the top ten ports in the United Kingdom, which is only seventy or eighty kilometers away, Ryan felt that he had to defuse the bomb that could explode at any time as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, Ryan's first tentative attempt succeeded. He just wrapped his hands in the energy of the Virgin of Roses and touched the handle of the jumping pot with his hand, only to be surprised to find that the imaginary counterattack was not at all. So he moved the pot from the fire very easily with a slight force of his arms, and after losing the energy injected by the magic flame below, the magic reaction on the pot began to fade away.

At this moment, several runes suddenly shattered, and a sound with a frequency so high that normal humans could barely hear it sounded. However, these sounds are not harmful, they sound like some kind of signal.

"How can it be so simple?" Ryan held the pot handle with both hands, full of doubt, and suddenly, he felt the temperature from his hands getting hotter and hotter. Soon the temperature exceeded normal, and theoretically even if you took the molten metal with your bare hands under the isolation of a layer of the energy of the Lady of Roses, you would not feel any heat.

He lowered his head, only to see that the pink layer of Madonna of Roses shrouded in his hands was rapidly fading. Fortunately, his body has been strengthened repeatedly, so that his hands will not be burned by the current temperature of hundreds of degrees.

"It's-" Ryan was stunned when Hermione slammed open the tent curtain and rushed in, "It's not right, I just cast a safe guard and all the protection outside the tent, but the magic is quickly gone." ”

"Isn't the vanishing magic just a matter of this pot?" Ryan thought as he placed the Hopping Cauldron next to him against the cupboard, then drew his wand and shouted into a corner, "Faint." ”

I saw a red light fly out of the staff as usual, but as soon as the light appeared, it quickly dimmed. When it flew three or four meters, the red light disappeared completely.

"Did you use some kind of stealth?" Hermione asked, noting that wizards had some special tricks in their spell casting, such as the fact that many skilled combat wizards would have some small tricks to hide the glow of the spell or change the color of the spell, which would give them a greater advantage in battle. Hermione thought that Ryan was using one of those methods.

"It's not. Ryan's face suddenly turned serious. "There is something wrong with this place and the surroundings are very draining on our magic. For example, the magic just now had lost all its energy in the air. ”

Speaking of which, Ryan finally knew what Voldemort's killing move was preparing, and that was this strange land. In this land, it is basically impossible for them to use powerful magic, and without using magic, it is impossible for Dumbledore or others, or even Voldemort himself, to escape after hand-to-hand combat with more than 100 werewolves.

"Brother, we can't get there in the scheduled time now, because this place can't fly with magic at all. It was at this time that Ryan received bad news from the puppet team led by Rose Crystal, "But if you need help urgently, I can get the mercury lamp to come early." She has wings, and this place does not affect her flight. ”

"No need, you better act in groups, pay attention to safety, we have a way here, you don't have to worry. After calming the anxious Rose Crystal through his soul, Ryan pulled out a laser pistol from his pocket and fired a shot into the corner of the tent. A red light flew out of the muzzle of the gun and hit a small wooden cabinet that was placed there, and then made a fist-sized scorch mark on it.

"You can actually use these electron-related things here!" Hermione's eyes widened when she saw this, "That's great, I remember you brought a lot of technological weapons from those worlds." ”

"Yes, this place is strange, it seems that most of the magic can't be used, but things that have nothing to do with magic can be used normally. It's like the opposite of that magic we had at Hogwarts. Ryan said as he took out the two big guys from the space bag. "This gives us a chance, and I don't think the mystery man's brain can guess what kind of weapon we have. ”

"You're right, they wouldn't have imagined that the Muggles they despise also have powerful weapons. Hermione looked at the two power armors that had just been taken out, these two were the X01 power armor in the Fallout world, and they were also the best power armor after the war. After the comprehensive improvement of the alien technology obtained by the world of the man in black before, these two sentences of power armor can even be said to be reborn.

"I guess it's because he thinks we have weapons, and at most some rifles or pistols or something. And this kind of weapon is completely impossible to have enough lethality against those werewolves. The Power Armor was taken out and activated shortly after, after which Ryan and Hermione entered the Power Armor and chatted over the radio.

"You're right, the book I read in the library lists that nearly a thousand years ago a wolf-like werewolf killed a whole ship of Viking warriors on the dragon head ship that came to England to rob. Viking warriors had a hard time penetrating the werewolf defenses with their spears, swords, or axes. Even if there are some weapons that cause damage to the werewolf's body, they can't make the werewolf ineffective. Hermione's voice on the radio was a little muffled, but it was clear, and it showed that this place did not interfere with the use of various technological products.

"Whew-" At this time, another wolf howl sounded, and it was much closer than just now. It sounded like the werewolves had charged into the woods at the edge of the flatland.

Until now, these werewolves had been scattered and hidden throughout the white mist-filled woods, in order to avoid being discovered by Ryan and the others. And now, all the werewolves were attracted by the signal when Ryan picked up the pot just now. They began to gather and prepare for a deadly assault on everyone in this tent in the clearing.

Walking out of the tent, the helmet display in front of Ryan quickly showed more than a dozen red dots, and these red dots continued to increase. Just as Ryan picked up the Gatling, which had been modified by Atom Four, Hermione's voice came from the headset on the other side of the tent.

"It feels like these werewolves are used to wolves after they swarm. With a faint murmur of static electricity, Hermione's voice rang out in the helmet. "It was as if they were waiting to gather before launching a surprise attack. ”

"You're right, think of Professor Lupin, when they turned into wolves, they also acted like real giant wolves. What's more, I think it's likely that the leader today is the native werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and his attack must be the kind of method, and it won't leave us with some kind of escape. ”

Soon, red dots popped up on the minimap of the display, and Ryan found them parked at the edge of the woods, slowly approaching under the cover of the trees, occasionally raising their heads and howling in an attempt to create pressure.

"It looks like they're surrounding us. Ryan looked at the red dots around the open space on the minimap and said into the microphone, "Get ready for battle, I guess the next battle will be a bloody battle that will never end to the death." ”
