Chapter 1157: Who Poisoned the Enemy?
"Bang, bang—"
Two stun spells landed on the heads of the two Auror guards at about the same time, causing them to crash heavily into the stone walls on either side of the cell door.
Not to mention the damage that a stun spell can do to hit the head, just hitting the back of the head against the wall is enough to cause a concussion.
This time, it is really ruthless.
To be honest, Martin alone would never be able to cast two spells at the same time, but two people could do it.
The next moment, Martin, who had actively cast the spell, finally revealed his form outside the cell because the potion was ineffective.
"Open the cell door."
After stuning the two wizards guarding the door, Martin shook his head at the Inspector who had just helped him clear the obstacle, and motioned for him to find a way to open the door.
But then he found that the other party did not do what he said, but stood there and shook his head in a daze.
"No keys and no passwords...... Can't open the door. ”
"Neither did they?" Martin gestured to the Aurors who had fallen to either side.
"No," the Auror Inspector shook his head again, his tone a little stiff, "the key is on the wall of the office, and the password is known only to Mr. Shakel, the director. ”
"Damn," Martin cursed in a low brow, frowning rather annoyed, "why wasn't there anything in the cell where Iluri was held just now...... Well? ”
Secretly angry at the cell door, Martin was muttering, but soon noticed something was wrong.
Just now, when the guards were still there, it made sense for Muriel to keep silent, but now that two of the three Aurors were stunned, and one was clearly on his side, why did Muriel still huddle in the cell without making a sound?
"Muriel!"
"Bell-"
"Muriel?"
He didn't care about whether the sound would reach anyone's ears, and while shouting the girl's name into the cell, he reached out and knocked twice on the iron fence of the cell door.
I have to say that this dungeon is indeed quite dim, just standing in the corridor and looking at the cell, it is difficult to see what kind of state Mu Lier is squatting in the corner.
What's more, the other party's long hair has always been so messy that people can't see her face clearly.
Thankfully, Muriel seems to be reacting to her own shouts and banging — at least Martin thinks it should be a good sign.
"Are you alright?" He grabbed the iron fence and looked at Muriel, who was slowly turning his head inside, and continued to ask, "What the hell is wrong?" Why don't you speak? ”
Muriel, deep in the cell, didn't answer Martin's question, she just shook her head slowly.
"What the hell is going on......"
Frustrated, Martin thrust the door and took two steps back, then raised his right hand, which was clenching his wand. Then he pointed the tip of his staff at the keyhole of the cell door, and said clearly:
"Broken bones!"
"Bang!"
A burst of sparks flew in all directions, and Martin himself couldn't help but raise his arm to hide his head. But when he lowered his hand to check the lock of the door, he found that the keyhole was almost intact, except for a small dent.
Needless to say, the door was clearly under a protective spell, and there was probably more than one.
Martin, however, only shook his head slightly.
“…… At least this has done real damage, indicating that the magic above is not strong enough for me to give up on brute-force cracking. ”
That was to say, but instead of casting a more powerful spell, Martin pulled out the potion he had brought with him from his bosom.
The potion that Muriel had inadvertently refined was not needed at the moment, and what he needed at this moment was actually another special potion - the Death Potion.
Just by hearing the name of the potion, it was undoubtedly a rather terrifying potion.
In fact, the potion was used by the Ministry of Magic for executions decades ago, including the Magical Congress of the United States, which is where its name comes from.
Speaking of which, its effect is actually very simple, it is extremely corrosive.
Judging from the effects of the death penalty in the past, in addition to living things, even most magical and non-magical items can be easily corroded. The prisoners who were executed at the beginning were often swallowed by the mercury-like potion with their seats, and there was not even the scum left.
However, with the successive restrictions and even abolition of the death penalty, this kind of potion that was originally forbidden to be prepared privately was naturally completely banned from use, leaving only the "Living Hell Elixir", a deteriorated version that deliberately increased the difficulty of refining and reduced a certain effect, for potions masters to study and study.
I don't know where Martin got such a real death potion.
However, after he took out the thumb-sized special potion bottle, he carefully opened the cap of the sealed bottle, and with the stirring of the wand in his right hand, a drop of silver liquid was separated from it.
After using the levitation charm to make the drops float in mid-air, he hurriedly recapped the bottle and tightened it, and then continued to control the potion to fall into the lock hole of the cell door.
Then, with an inaudible corrosive sound, the keyhole was immediately enlarged. As for the protective spell attached to the door, it didn't have any effect at all.
Eventually, Martin pulled his wand back, and the drop, the size of a pea, couldn't even see if it had decreased.
Even Martin, the user, breathed a sigh of relief as he took the trouble to reopen the potion bottle, let the potion slowly fall into the mouth of the bottle, and recap the bottle.
I guess few people won't be scared when they see this thing.
"Muriel? Come out! The door has been opened for you......"
He reached out and pulled the cell door open, but instead of going in directly, he stood in the door and called out again—he couldn't be careless, after all, Muriel was obviously very abnormal.
If it was in normal times, she would have said a lot of words a long time ago.
And just as Martin couldn't bear the silence of the stalemate, and half-raised his wand to take a closer look, he suddenly noticed that Muriel inside had turned his head suddenly.
Martin still couldn't read her face because of the darkness in her cell and Muriel's messy hair, but his instincts immediately told him not to go any further.
"Retreat!"
A thought flashed through Martin's mind, and he quickly exited the cell and took a sharp step to the side. And almost at the same time, Muriel in the prison jumped up quickly, and pounced like a beast on the spot where he had just stood!
"Muriel!"
Martin felt that his mind was a little overwhelmed, and he even wondered if Muriel had been bitten by some werewolf and contracted wolf venom.
But even though his head was a mess, he didn't slow down at all. After discovering that the other party was extremely fast and his strength was obviously not small, he decisively stood still and did not move, but concentrated his energy and waved his wand.
He knew that with the speed of Muriel just now, he would definitely not be able to run. Only by trying to use the spell to deal with it was his best choice at the moment.
"Faint!"
Martin still kept his hand in the end.
I saw a flash of fire sweep through the dim dungeon corridor, and rushed straight to the back of Muriel, who was half-crouched in the door of the cell and had not yet risen.
"Huh?"
Muriel tilted her head as if alert, and then leaped to the side with her hands and feet, and although she slammed into the open cell door a little awkwardly, she dodged it.
"There are a lot of obstacles—"
Martin, who can fight one-on-one with Kingsley, is naturally not low in the level of using spells. This obstacle spell was almost released immediately after the previous stun spell, and no matter how fast the opponent was, there was no way to dodge when the center of gravity of the thing was unstable, so that the effect of the spell worked smoothly on her body.
For a moment, the anomalous Muriel's movements slowed down - though it was still much faster than when a normal person was hit by the Obstacle Charm.
"It's all petrified!"
Martin's third spell finally hit Muriel's shoulder, causing her to stiffen. However, it was not clear enough to keep her completely restrained, forcing Martin to make up for the full body restraint spell again.
Seeing the stiff Muriel slowly fall to the ground under the effect of the obstacle spell, Martin frowned and drooped the spell down slightly.
Then, he froze.
"Is it some kind of curse? Or the werewolf toxin? Or ......" Martin muttered to himself, his face full of exasperation and bewilderment, "why did the Ministry do this?" ”
As soon as he said this, he shook his head again.
"It shouldn't be...... There was no reason for the Ministry of Magic to do that. No, not just the Ministry of Magic, there is no reason for anyone to do this to Muriel! ”
Although his heart was already full of anger, Martin could barely control his emotions. Because he knew he had to analyze why—even if it was just for Muriel.
It's a pity that the more he thinks about it, the more clueless he feels - you know, this is Muriel! It's Muriel, a lonely girl who has always been alone since she was a student and rarely even comes into contact with outsiders!
Martin couldn't imagine who had caused her to look like this.
After a while, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, forcibly suppressing the disturbing emotions in his heart.
"Anyway, we have to get her out of here first...... If there was an accident in this rescue, I am afraid that even he himself might not be able to escape, let alone find out why Muriel became like this. ”
Martin hurried over and helped the motionless Muriel to his feet, then pulled another normal-sized potions bottle out of his arms.
This time, he took out the potion that Muriel had refined due to an accident—even if the whole world only had these bottles in his arms.
