During the two-hour journey, Ryan had dinner with the dolls who had arrived to help. The rest of the time is spent analyzing and arranging what to do in the next battle.

"Our destination was in a clearing in central Hampshire. "By this time, the table had been cleaned and a 3D map was projected on it. Ryan used his wand as a whip to point at the introduction. "This clearing, northeast of Portsmouth, is now a nature reserve. ”

"As for the wizards, I checked some of the Ministry of Magic's materials before, and I can confirm that this place has not had any wizards living here for 300 years. When it comes to the connection to the wizarding world, the only thing related to magic in the area is that there are several very common magical herbs growing in the woods. And these herbs are not unique to the region, let alone the best in the region.

"In other words, you don't know why the enemy is setting up the battlefield here. As the brainchild of the puppets, the canary clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "It is actually very disadvantageous for you to choose the battlefield by the enemy, by the way, can you lure the enemy out." ”

"It's incredibly unlikely. Ryan shrugged, "I had to destroy that evil magical ritual that the dark wizards had prepared, and they knew about it. In this case, I don't think it's possible for them to give up their preset positions and run out with me. ”

"It's terrible. The canary muttered, then looked down at the map and said seriously. "If that's the case, you'll have to fight hard, but such a large area is simply terrible for the attacker, by the way, can you call in more help?"

"It's a good idea to mobilize helpers, I think we can do that-" Hermione was saying when an owl brooch vibrated slightly, and she immediately exited the room. A few minutes later, she walked in with an ugly face.

"What's going on?" Ryan asked, and the little dolls in the room collectively turned their heads to look at Hermione. Hermione took a deep breath as a crowd watched. "I was contacted by Penelope, who told me that the Mysteries had appeared and defeated a seven-man Auror squad outside Hogsmeade. The entire town of Hogsmeade is now on the highest alert. ”

"Are you sure it's him?" Ryan asked, not daring to be careless at this point. "Also, who is the mystery man with, is it the Death Eaters?"

"The Mysterio was out alone today, without a single Death Eater. Hermione frowned as she spoke, for this was a completely different way of what he was used to, and in all the previous battles it had been a group of Death Eaters fighting the strikers, with Voldemort himself coming out at the end. I've never seen Voldemort's tactics of going into battle shirtless.

"I guess it's probably a diversion. The canary suddenly thought of a possibility, "If the Dark Lord is alone, he has enough maneuver to keep the pressure around." ”

"You're right. Ryan nodded. "In this case, Professor Dumbledore and the people who are now defending Hogsmeade cannot leave their posts at all, even if there are not too many people who can be transferred, and let them come not to help but to die. ”

"But we are not short of manpower," said Canary, "this floating castle has 1,500 alchemy robots stored in it, although the level is much worse than that of wizards, but we have an advantage in terms of the number of human resources, although these human resources can only be called human in this house." ”

After nearly an hour of discussion, Ryan's response plan was just a few words of improvisation. After all, they had too little information this time, and many places didn't know how to prepare.

At 8:40 p.m., the Floating Castle finally arrived 5 kilometers away from the agreed place. Standing on the edge of the castle, Ryan could only see the woods hidden by a large white mist.

"Passive detection magic can't see what's inside at all, and active detection magic is likely to alarm the people who were hiding inside before and ask them to harm the hostages, or act early to destroy Zhixing's large-scale damage plan to ordinary people. Hermione spoke from behind him.

"The good news is that it's almost certain that the Hopping Cauldron is inside, because we can feel a strong magic fluctuation in the core of this place, which must be caused by some powerful alchemy item. At this time, the canary flew over and said, "Rose Crystal and the sisters are on standby, and we will rush at the slightest order from you." The distance of five kilometers is a matter of more than a minute of flight for us. ”

"Then I'll leave it to you. Ryan and Hermione leaped down, summoning their wings to slow down as they approached the ground, and finally landed silently on the ground.

"It's definitely not something that comes naturally. After landing, Ryan looked in the direction of his target, and found that the milky white opaque mist stood in front of them like a wall, as if there was a transparent wall that had cut the strange fog in two parts from the normal place.

"But, anyway, we're going to get there!" Hermione looked helpless. "Even if it's a trap for us, but think about it, we can't turn a blind eye to those innocent ordinary people. ”

"You're right, let's go inside. Ryan smiled. "It's not a small possibility to get a bite of the pot this time, because I think the mysterious person also knows that a defective product can't fool me. To be precise, this time his plan to turn the ordinary people around him into Yin corpses is true in itself. Because this will ensure that we fall into the trap exactly as he planned. ”

After stepping into the invisible wall, Ryan suddenly felt that his surroundings suddenly became quiet, and his visibility suddenly became no more than 20 meters. The fog absorbs all the sounds around it like cotton, making everything around it hazy.

"Did you find anything?" Hermione asked after stepping some distance forward. "I've noticed that my magic scouting distance has been greatly reduced, and there doesn't seem to be any animals or insects moving in the area where I'm scouting. ”

"This place is a big problem. Ryan stopped and pressed his hand against a tree, and after a dozen seconds he lowered his hand and said to Hermione. "It feels like all life has been taken away from me, and normally these trees should give me a feedback after I cast the spell, but now there is nothing. The abnormal thing is that they are still alive. ”

After saying that, looking at Hermione's somewhat puzzled gaze, Ryan explained: "Although plants do not react as much as animals when stimulated by magic, they do have some feedback on natural magic. But right now, they didn't react at all to my magic. ”

"What about outside contact?" Hermione asked nervously as if she had thought of something, "especially with the little puppets on standby on the floating fortress now?"

"It's normal for the time being. Ryan said, "Because when I built the Floating Fortress Magic Tower, I prepared some magical communication methods that have never appeared in this world, so the contact with the Floating Castle is normal. But on top of that, the alchemy items I used to communicate with Lupin and the guerrillas are no longer valid, and the mist is likely to have a shielding effect. ”

"Damn! It's a terrible feeling of not knowing anything about the front. After complaining, Hermione picked herself up and continued to walk with Ryan into the depths of the jungle.
