Chapter 1187: The Strangeness of the Werther Family
To be honest, the effect of Hermione's combination of magic texts is actually quite ordinary, it is actually the ancient magic text version of the comprehensive protection spell in charms.
However, Hermione chose it precisely because most of its properties were derived from the Total Protection Charm.
It must be said that this is a protection spell that is perfect for group duels. It allows all wizards involved in casting spells to work together to maintain the same magic shield, with each additional person gaining an additional strength or range.
And when Hermione realized it in the form of a magic tablet, the four people who had to cast the spell at the same time were freed up, and they only needed to provide continuous magic power to the tablet to support the shield of the four.
Obviously, Hermione's combination of magic texts is equivalent to turning the four of them into eight people, although there will be no increase in the strength of the spell, but they can defend and attack at the same time.
"Attack!"
Once Hermione had given instructions to the three around her, the four of them used the simultaneous spell-casting technique that Maca had taught them, tacitly targeting the wizard closest to them.
"Passed out—"
"Peacefully guarded!"
However, even if several of them became quite proficient because of their daily training, it was not enough for the other to have time to deal with it. Almost as soon as they finished defending and organizing the attack, the wizards on the opposite side who were getting closer and closer also began to cast spells one after another.
I saw a translucent fluctuation flash in the area where the other party was, and the next moment, the stun spell cast by Hermione and the others simultaneously deflected to a certain extent when they arrived in front of the other party.
However, it was obviously not a very good idea to use protective magic that could offset spells in such a narrow alley with so many people.
Yes, Hermione's stun spell suddenly brushed past the man in charge, and swept towards the chest of the other wizard standing behind her.
What's worse is that the wizard was already casting an offensive spell, and he didn't expect the stun spell to turn against him, so he was caught defenselessly.
"Bang-"
When the wizard was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by the four stunned spells that were gathered together, the attack from the opposite side also slammed into the magic shield around the four of Hermione.
For a while, the light particles were scattered and splashed, so that they could not see each other's subsequent preparations clearly. All they knew was that the wizard who was hit should have been knocked away in an instant.
But in the battle between wizards, vision is undoubtedly a very important factor. Generally speaking, the party without vision can easily lose the initiative and fall into a situation of being beaten in an instant.
That's right, this is indeed a huge weakness of the Mowen Slate in actual combat. That's why during the London disaster last time, Hermione used the broomstick to fly in formation and forcibly replenished her mobility.
But now, they don't have a broom to ensure that indispensable mobility.
However, this is not the "usual" situation at the moment - there is only one straight line in this alley, and if you cast a spell directly ahead, the chances of it will miss are very small.
"Take me as a benchmark and fight back!"
With Hermione's words, the other three immediately nodded slightly, and the simultaneous spell once again had a good effect. I saw that all four spells were aimed at Hermione's front, and they broke through the light curtain in front of them, and shot away together in a fraction of the second.
As their own magic shield was constantly vibrated by the impact of the other party's spell, Hermione and the others also heard several exclamations from the opposite side.
Their attacks are back in effect!
"That's it, keep attacking!"
Although the difference was more than half of the numbers, Hermione saw a chance to win. If the opponent is only at this level, she is confident that she can reduce the opponent's number below them before the opponent breaks through the shield.
It's a pity that things may not go as smoothly as she imagined.
"Mr. Steward, those kids are a lot better than we thought, we ...... We can't keep our hands like this any longer! ”
"Shut up!"
I could only hear the middle-aged wizard standing in the middle glaring at the person beside him, and after looking at the dark alleyway behind him, he lowered his voice and reprimanded:
"Haven't you listened to the old master's repeated warnings? Don't talk about it outside...... You know, there's more to this black market than just our Werther family! If those guys hear it, don't talk about yourself, even the whole family will be in crisis! ”
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then said:
"Don't worry, with me in control, nothing will go wrong."
Yes, this group of wizards is the hands of the Werther family. Although it is not known why they attacked Hermione and the others, it can actually be heard from their conversation that they have actually saved their hands until now.
It seems that the chase and battle in this black market may hide a deeper layer of internal information.
But just as Hermione didn't know that they were merciful, they, the wizards of the Werther family, would not have expected that the battle in the alley would become more and more complicated today.
……
Hermione and the others encountered fierce battles in the streets and alleys of the black market, and Maca naturally did not know about it at this time. Right now, in order to confirm whether the four friends had come to the black market, he had just broken into the underground vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion.
He didn't know that he only needed to fly directly over the black market, and maybe he would be able to quickly find the person he was looking for through the fluctuations of mana.
After all, the fluctuations in mana during combat were quite strong, and even with the obstruction of fog, he could still detect anomalies in a relatively considerable range.
Unfortunately, Makhatha was not a prophet and could not have been like a god. So he had to try to make his search as efficient as possible, so as not to waste time looking for Hermione and the others because they hadn't been here.
"Are you the head of the Dark Spirit Chamber? Well...... I know you're not having a good time, but I'm in a hurry, so please answer a few questions as soon as possible. ”
In a cave** inside the underground vault, Maca noticed that there were a lot of goblins gathered here, so he flew straight inside.
And from those angry, cold, or hesitant eyes, Maca suddenly felt a lot of hostility.
But perhaps it's because the union president has just given an order not to act at will.
Even though the goblins glaring at him were in the majority, he still made his way unimpeded, flying all the way to the deepest part of the huge cavern under the cover of a large field of sight.
Looking at the goblin in a silk robe with a large number of gemstone rings on his hand, sitting on a large sofa in the innermost. Maca suddenly stopped slightly, and stood in mid-air with a magic book in the open space not far from the other party.
He could see that behind the goblin, who was visibly different in identity and dress, stood a dozen of his kindred who were responsible for protecting him. And in the hands of those guards, they each held a magic wand.
Yes, the elves are indeed one of the few races that can use wands.
But since the early years, when they tried to become part of the wizarding community, goblin wand possession has been an offence and prohibited.
For this reason, the elves have protested several times in the past to gain power, and even found excuses to cause rebellions.
Of course, this is the black market after all, and Maca was not too surprised when she saw these goblins with wands.
Soon, after explaining his time in advance, he was about to ask the other party if he knew that Hermione and the four had been to the black market.
But it was clear that the elves would not have let him ask questions so easily.
"Wizard, I don't know how you opened the security door up there. But I have to say, isn't it a little rude for you to come up to us and talk to yourself after breaking the security door of our Dark Spirit Pavilion's vault? ”
Maca found that the presiding elf of the Dark Spirit Pavilion did not speak, and that it was actually another elf standing next to him who spoke.
And before he could reply, the goblin asked:
"Don't you wizards like etiquette the most? Don't you think that such a rude in front of us goblins will only be a loss of your wizard's own face? ”
In normal times, Maca might have accompanied them to gossip a few more words, after all, he had just forcibly demolished the "lid" of this underground vault, and it was indeed his fault.
It's just that today, he doesn't have that much effort to reason with these goblins.
Hearing the other party's words, Maca waved his hand. He didn't even look at the goblin who was speaking, but stayed on the goblin principal on the couch the whole time.
"First of all, your large gold-plated iron lid is not actually damaged, and the shaft can be reused as soon as it is repaired. So if you need it, I can pay you a few Galleons to repair the floor...... But I see that you have all dismantled the Dark Spirit Pavilion like that, so you don't care about destroying a few more floors, do you? ”
As she spoke, Maca chuckled slightly.
"Secondly," he said with a slight frown, "you must not say that I was rude just now, because you will not want to see my real 'rude' appearance." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a blue light flashed from the tip of the staff in Maca's hand, and in an instant, a terrifying cold wave quietly spread from his body.
"Click-"
With a series of cracking sounds, the air in the entire cave seemed to drop below zero all at once. Not only did patches of hoarfrost quickly freeze on the surrounding rock walls and ground, but even cracks were frozen in many places.
For a while, most of the goblins in the cave couldn't help but shiver, and many of their eyes turned from annoyance at the beginning to confusion.
The change in temperature was so rapid that the elves barely reacted.
