24, hope
In the vaulted room, rows of bottles and cans are placed on cabinets, and bandages and surgical tools are placed on several small movable tables. There was a large iron bed in the center of the room, and the room was illuminated by magical light as if it were day, and the light was soft, and everything seemed very harmonious.
The only discord was the girl on the iron bed, her arms and limbs were fixed to the bed board with belts, she banged on the bed board, and looked at the goblin deadly: "What insurance, what assistance, it's all fake!"
She listened to the words of the two goblins outside.
There was a goblin beside her who was applying ointment to Aglaia's bruised eyes, but she was so angry that goblins couldn't apply any medicine to her bruised eyes.
The elf with the ointment put down the bottle and shrugged, "Who told you guys to take the money out of Gringotts? That's our gold." ”
"Your gold, shameless, it's obviously the gold that the wizard deposited!"
"The money deposited in the bank is your money, who told you that, little girl?" the goblin scoffed, "as long as we inflate it a little, your money will not be your money." Don't tell me that this Muggle knows everything, you don't understand it yet. ”
"You're ......!"
Aglaia didn't catch her breath, and her head flared up: "Do you wish the wizards were dead, and all their money in Gringotts will become a dead account." You can count as much as you want. ”
"Dead, what's good when you're dead? Who's going to create wealth when they're dead, eh? young. We elves don't go barefoot to do business on ships. ”
The goblin smiled and raised a finger: "Wizards still have to have, no matter who is in charge, you always want money, only with money can people be born, people create wealth again, and cutting down wave by wave is the royal way, didn't your family teach you?"
The first Buddha of Aglaia ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha was born, and roared: "Aren't you afraid that I will poke these things out?"
"Poke it out?" the goblin patted his head, "Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot." ”
It raised a slender finger and aimed it at Aglaia's head: "Forget it all......"
Boom, a muffled sound interrupted the elf's spell casting.
It immediately looked out of the door alertly, remembering something, as if the two companions standing guard outside hadn't spoken since a minute ago.
It withdrew its fingers, stared sideways for a moment, and then slowly turned to the door.
"Willy...... Kata.....?"
It called out the names of its two companions, but no one answered. When he walked to the door of the room, his face changed, and his two companions were limp unconscious on the ground at some point, each with a large bag on his head, and it looked like someone had made their heads collide with each other.
The elf felt bad, and it turned its head sharply. But to his horror, he found that there was an extra person next to the girl's bed at some point, and the gray-haired boy who was originally locked in the cage and planned to feed the dragon squatted on the side of the bed, smiled slightly, and untied the belt on the girl's wrist that was tied to the bed.
"You're ......!"
It screamed and raised its arms.
But the girl who had unleashed her belt picked up a pot from the bedside table and slammed it on the head, smashing back what the goblin hadn't screamed out.
Then she jumped to her feet, and the tiger swooped down on the goblin like a mountain, smashing it on the head with one punch.
Scolding while beating:
"Vampires!"
"Maggots, damn it!"
"Give my medicine back.....!"
She was so angry that within a few strokes the elf's long nose was crooked in two, and she fainted to the ground.
Hoffa hurriedly dragged the enraged Aglaia and covered the other party's mouth. He can understand the other side. After going around in such a big circle, not to mention nothing, and there are no bottoms left to be deceived by these goblins, this kind of blow is not something that ordinary people can bear, but it is too irrational to vent anger now.
"Let's go, if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave when the goblins here react. ”
Aglaia struggled violently: "Let go!"
"Calm down....."
"You're qualified to talk about me?" Aglaya struggled unrelentingly, her eyes reddening, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to get my medicine back." ”
Hoffa pressed her against the wall: "You're crazy, we managed to escape." Do you still want to set yourself on fire?"
Syllable!
She pressed her palm on Hoffa's arm: "I'm not reconciled!"
"When we get back to London, report the matter here to the Ministry of Magic, there are so many goblins that we can't deal with. Hoffa shook her shoulder: "You are the kind of family person, don't you understand this reason? let your mother deal with it, it's enough, go home." ”
The two stared at each other for a moment, and the girl, like a deflated ball, went limp, leaned against the wall and covered her face, the rabbit ears on her head drooping on her face.
"What the hell am I doing......" she muttered to herself.
Hoffa let go of his arm and stood by and waited quietly.
After waiting for about thirty seconds, Aglaia finally admitted the helpless reality, rubbed her face, sighed, and nodded gloomily.
Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief, but his companion didn't come up.
He took the other party's arm and prepared to take her away, but at this moment, he felt like he was thorning in his back. As soon as I looked up, I saw a long and narrow black shadow crawling quickly and disappearing overhead.
Aglaia followed Hoffa's eyes and saw nothing.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing. Hoffa lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. "Let's go. ”
......
......
The journey out of the cave was much easier than expected, but along the way, the goblins seemed to have disappeared completely.
It was an hour before sunset, and the air was calm and cool.
When the two of them walked to the entrance of the cave, they saw two six-meter-tall mountain monsters standing at the entrance of the cave, looking around.
Fearing to be discovered by the goblins, Hoffa led Aglaia into the shadows, but after slipping away from the mountain monster, Hoffa found that the two goblins who were supposed to be riding on the mountain monster's shoulders had disappeared. The two mountain monsters who were blindfolded could not see anything, they stayed in place like wood, and even when his ghostly state disappeared, the two mountain monsters did not react in the slightest.
Walking past the stupid mountain monster, Hoffa saw the empty drawbridge in front of him. The wizards who had been in and out of the way were all gone.
The people who sell insurance, sell medicines, work in reception, and sell food are all gone.
Aglaia stood beside Hoffa and looked around in wonder, "What about those people?"
Hoffa shook his head: "I don't know. ”
He looked at the sky, and at this moment Heildsburg presented a very strange atmosphere, thick and heavy clouds and mist were entrenched in the sky, and the sunset could only take a little gap, bursting with stripes of crimson glow, like swimming fish in the sinking sea, occasionally rolling golden scales. The light shone on the surface of the stone wall, revealing a rusty hue.
"Why do we go into a cave once and come out of the world differently? ”
Aglaia spoke as she walked onto the drawbridge. The two of them creaked and stepped on the wood and walked forward, the boxes on all sides were still the same, the piles were as shaky as a hill, but the people were gone.
Walking near a tent, Hoffa saw a jumble of scratches on the mountain wall, as if scratched by sharp claws.
It was something he hadn't seen before he entered the fairy cave.
He touched the wall and said nothing.
The situation was so weird that he didn't even bother to pay attention to the system's exploration rewards, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and end his weird journey as soon as possible.
Aglaia stabbed him suddenly.
Hoffa: "What?"
Aglaiaping held out his finger and pointed to the entrance to a tent in front of him.
Following her fingers, I looked down and saw that it was the old goblin Lalfa in Gringotts. I saw it spread out and lay flat on the ground, with a cane by its side, as if it had fallen down in a hurry.
This scene caught Hoffa by surprise, and he and Aglaia glanced at each other and crouched down. Reached out and probed.
The other party still has a snort, but it is very unstable. Its old face had rolled eyes, and its neck was swollen like a thyroid gland. Not only that, but the goblin's wrinkled face also had green pimples that were popping up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A pimple suddenly burst open after it was enlarged, and the fishy green water splashed. Hoffa was startled, and quickly covered his nose and took a few steps back, nauseous and nauseous.
"What's going on?" said Hoffa, asking, in dismay.
"This is, the poison of the protein eye. Aglaia's voice was solemn.
"Protein eye poison?"
"Albumineye is an Australian dragon that uses its fangs to numb its prey to sleep before killing it. People who have been poisoned by this dragon venom will develop green acne, which is also one of the sources of dragon pox. ”
"Dragon poison? Australia? Isn't this Wales?"
Hoffa quickly lifted the curtain of the tent and made his way to the open air in Heildsburg, where he gasped with wide eyes.
One by one, the goblins and wizards fell on the ground, and all of them fainted to the ground, their faces covered with green acne and their necks swollen high. There was an oppressive silence in the air.
A breeze blew and rolled up a trampled waste flyer and stuck it on Hoffa's face.
He tore the scrap of paper off his face and felt like someone was watching him.
When he turned around, he saw a large iron box less than ten meters to his right, and on that box sat a man, he had black eyes, an ordinary appearance, and was dressed in a featureless gray long-distance run. He holds a dangling crow mask in his left hand. It was the man who rode the dragon I saw earlier.
His posture was so relaxed, yet so languid. It's almost the same as a family man sitting on the sofa after taking a shower, but the goblins and wizards who faint all over the ground are so dazzling.
"Hey. The man greeted him in a friendly manner,
Hoffa almost subconsciously wanted to enter the ghost walk, but when he reached for Aglaia, he found an invisible barrier separating him from his companions.
The girl was anxiously patting the enchantment outside, opening and closing her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound.
"What did you do?" asked Hoffa, looking up.
The man waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, I don't mean anything, I just want to ask one thing." ”
"What?"
"That's right, I'm looking for a dragon, the strongest dragon in the world, have you ever seen it?" the man asked with a smile.
Hoffa's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?"
Seeing his expression, the man showed a look of regret: "Haven't you seen it, like this....... It's weird, I know it's nearby. ”
With that, he stood up and threw his hand, and a silver-gray wand was thrown out of his hand and landed on Hoffa's hand, and he looked down to see that it was Aglaia's lost wand.
He looked at the other man in amazement, and the man put the crow mask on his right hand on his face, tilted his head, and said:
"Oh, and Mr. Grindelwald asked me to bring you a message. He said he wanted to play a game with you. ”
Hoffa was so startled that he couldn't speak.
He said that if you didn't go to Germany for him within a month, he would make Hogwarts what it is today. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the iron box, and the chains on the box broke in response, and then, the space distorted, and he disappeared into the air with a crackling apparition.
As soon as he left, the barrier separating him from Aglaya turned into nothingness, and Aglaya rushed in, grabbed Hoffa's arm, and said in horror, "Who is that, and what happened?"
Hoffa didn't speak, he was still stunned by what he had just said.
Aglaia looked at the huge tin box that had been opened in front of her, and a feeling of extreme danger welled up in her heart. Without the slightest hesitation, she tugged at Hoffa's arm. With a few strides, he quickly ran into the alley where the stacks of cargo boxes were piled up.
"Roar!"
Less than two seconds after disappearing, a piercing roar was heard behind him. The temperature in the air instantly rose by ten degrees! A burning stinging pain came from Hoffa's lungs and respiratory tract. He finally stopped being distracted and threw Aglaia to the ground.
"Roar!!"
There was another angry roar, and he heard the screeching noise of the iron sheet being torn.
The crumbling crumbling cargo boxes around collapsed, kicking up smoke and dust in the afterglow of the setting sun. The two people who fell to the ground got up with a dirty face, and hurriedly ran out of the secret realm, and before they ran far, there was a sound of wings flapping overhead, and the creature chased after them, and stopped heavily at the height of the building more than ten meters away from them.
They didn't dare to move, curled up on their knees, hiding in the middle of the two abandoned iron boxes, and they didn't dare to come out.
The violent elemental power made the air around him seem to boil, and the scorching breath almost blistered at his lungs.
He looked sideways at his magic watch slightly, there was only less than 0.1X of mana, and the power in the mana crystal was almost exhausted. I've been using too much mana lately, and I can't use the Ghost Walk indefinitely.
The two of them fell into a deathly silence, and the only thing that broke the silence was the slow rhythm of the heartbeat and the blazing breathing overhead.
It's crawling.
A large area of the stone slabs and bricks on the top of the hill had collapsed in rows, and the faint sun shone in through the cracks and gaps in the roof.
As the sawdust fell, Hoffa slipped his wand back into Aglaia's hand, pointing into the distance and gesturing.
Aglaia nodded, and then a replicating illusion split from her and ran toward the other side.
The fire dragon on the crumbling building overhead took a few glances and noticed the fledging vision, so it turned its head and spewed out a hot blue flame in the other direction.
He jumped off the box at a high place, flapped his wings and rushed to the place where the illusion had disappeared.
"What's that?" asked Hoffa.
"Why is the Fireball Dragon, the hottest fire dragon species, here? ”
Fireball..... Hoffa was stunned, wasn't that the Chinese fire dragon? He didn't feel excited at all, but frightened.
If you're facing a fireball, and these people on the ground are stunned by the Albumin's Eyes, it means that there's a second dragon here.
Even, like that night, there might be three, four, five...... And even more...... Damn, does that man want to slaughter all the people here?
Aglaia nudged Hoffa: "We..... What to do?"
Huo Fa froze and looked at the top of the secret realm, where the orange sky was the only exit.
"I'll fly you out. ”
Hoffa whispered, "But I don't have enough magic right now, can you help me get some recovery potion?" ”
"Where can I get it for you?"
Aglaia lowered her voice and exclaimed, "Do you think this is a potions class?"
Hoffa exhaled and said slowly, "There should be one here, when I first came here, there was an insurance seller who told me to buy insurance and give potions." ”
"But that dragon ......"
"Shhhh ”
Holding her mouth, Hoffa glanced back at the crate and saw a distant claw covered with tinkering iron-like scales slowly protruding from the box, the claw the size of an adult's upper body, sharp and scorching, the heat distorting the air.
He retracted his head and took a deep breath, "I'm going to get the attention of the fireball, and you can get the magic potion, okay?"
