Chapter 148: Rescued
At the moment, Albert was running desperately in the flame-burning passage, Fangya following him closely.
The eight-eyed spiders were agitated by the sudden flames, and instinctively moved away from the wall of fire to give Albert enough time and space.
Albert hurried to the foot of the Guardian Tree, and before he could even catch his breath, he immediately waved his wand and cast the Fire Charm again.
A ring of fire began to burn in the direction of Albert's wand, burning ten feet away from the Guardian Tree.
The fire looked fierce, but without the inclaminary material to rely on, the mud and fallen leaves on the ground could not keep the wall burning.
"Yugadim~Leviosa!" Albert waved his wand and cast a levitation spell on the Hound Fang, allowing the Fangs to levitate.
The latter was so frightened that he whined in horror and slid his feet wildly in the air, as if he were swimming in water.
"Quick, pull me!" Albert began to climb the tree as well, and Fred and George reached out and pulled him, which allowed Albert to climb up the tree quickly.
Fang Fang was quickly lifted from the levitation spell, and shrunk tremblingly on the wooden platform that Albert had created using the Transfiguration Charm.
"Why are you here. Fred and George had already recovered from their trance and looked at Albert in shock, they had never thought that the person who had come to save them would be Albert.
"Otherwise, who do you think it would be?" Albert glared at the Weasley brothers in annoyance, "Professor McGonagall, or Professor Dumbledore, and when they found out that you were missing, you would have been torn apart by the eight-eyed spider and eaten by those monsters." ”
Both of them were flushed with shame, but they had to admit that Albert was right, it was Easter!
If Albert hadn't discovered the two missing in the first place, it would have been a little late, maybe Hagrid would have been able to come over tomorrow to collect their bodies, and even the bones might not have been found.
"What now?" Fred moved to the side to make room for Albert.
"Waiting for help, when I came, I asked Lee Jordan to go to Professor McGonagall. Albert was slowing down his breathing and comforted, "The professors should be coming soon, and you continue to shoot red sparks into the sky to show them the way." ”
"You, you went into the forest by yourself?" George suddenly realized something, and looked at Albert dumbfounded, unable to believe such a fact.
"How the hell did you manage to find us in the Forbidden Forest. Fred also realized the meaning of George's words, and after reacting, he looked at Albert in the same stunned.
They couldn't believe that Albert had managed to find them by breaking into the Forbidden Forest alone in the middle of the night.
"Or else?" Albert didn't pay attention to the shocked look on the twins' faces, as he noticed that the ring of fire below had been extinguished, and the surrounding spider army had re-encircled.
"How did you provoke these eight-eyed spiders, did you stab their nest, or did you steal their eggs?" Albert frowned slightly, raised his wand, and knocked an eight-eyed spider to the ground as it tried to get close to the Guardian Tree.
"No, we met a few big spiders on the road, so we ran to the neighborhood to find shelter from the Dharma Guardian Tree, but we didn't expect the number of these big spiders to increase. Fred's face was a little tangled.
"And that's what you see. George added.
"Alanya ~ Aitemy!"
Another spider was knocked down by the spell, looking down from the Dharma Guardian Tree, and a dense group of large spiders below looked very scary.
"Keep firing red sparks, don't stop. Albert admonished.
"Oh!" George continued to shoot red sparks into the sky, and stole a glance at Albert.
To be honest, it's really hard for the twin brothers to imagine how Albert managed to walk through the forest in the middle of the night and find his own, even if he was a professor, I am afraid it would not be so easy to find someone in the depths of the dark Forbidden Forest!
"Protect all! Protect everything! Protect everything!" Albert unleashed three defensive spells in succession, completely enveloping the Protector Tree.
The large spider outside crashed headlong into the magical barrier, as if it had hit a wall of air, and was blocked by force.
"What kind of magic is this!" George's eyes widened in surprise as they saw the rushing spider hit its head against the wall.
"We should be safe now!"
"Don't think too much about it, if the professors don't come sooner, just wait to be eaten!" Albert gasped and shook his head, "Don't you notice that these big spiders are getting more and more agitated?"
Fred and George looked at each other, and soon realized that Albert was right, and that they were afraid to approach the Guardian Tree at first.
The two of them couldn't help but secretly scream that if Albert was late, they might really be eaten by those big spiders.
"Why didn't you come with the professors?" Fred couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, according to Albert's character, he probably wouldn't have rushed into the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.
"I was going to ask Hagrid for help, but Hagrid wasn't in my cabin, so I had to come to you with Fangfang, and thanks to Fangfang, I didn't get attacked by the Eight-Eyed Spider. Albert touched his head.
This timid hound is also choking tonight.
"So, you went into the forest by yourself. Both of them couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Now, Fred and George finally understand why Albert was placed in Gryffindor, and with the courage and boldness he has shown so far, the combined Gryffindor students may not be able to match him.
"Alright, take it out!" Albert said suddenly.
"Take out what?"
"The map, of course, the secret treasure map of Gryffindor. Albert looked at the two of them, shook his head helplessly, and said, "You actually believe in that kind of ghostly thing, didn't I warn you before?" The depths of the Forbidden Forest are very dangerous, and you still haven't listened, and now you're almost turned into food for spiders, and you haven't learned a lesson?"
Fred and George thought about it carefully, and it really happened.
At the beginning, Albert reminded them that there might be a farm of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, and said that they should be careful of being eaten by eight-eyed giant spiders and so on.
It almost came true!
Having said that, George remembers that when the two of them first went out on a night out, Albert also reminded them to be careful of being locked outside the lounge by the fat lady...... That time also came true.
Aren't your words poisonous?
Say anything, and what will come true!
"How do you know there's a farm for the Eight-Eyed Spider?" asked Fred curiously, wondering who was raising these dangerous monsters in the Forbidden Forest.
"Listen to Professor Broad. Albert saw through the thoughts of the two of them, sighed and said, "However, don't be stupid, this is not a breeding farm, otherwise this group of big spiders will not attack you." ”
"But what's the matter with these big spiders, don't tell me these monsters lived in the Forbidden Forest in the first place. ”
"It is estimated that someone released the eight-eyed giant spider into the Forbidden Forest, there are almost no natural enemies of the eight-eyed giant spider here, and the food is quite sufficient, so these big spiders will reproduce so much. Albert looked at the eight-eyed spider below and muttered, "Maybe this is Hagrid's pot." ”
Albert was well aware of the fact that the so-called Eight-Eyed Spider Farm was a joke, and that it was Hagrid who released a pair of Eight-Eyed Spiders into the Forbidden Forest, and it took decades of reproduction to form the huge spider community it is today.
Click!
As a few people spoke, the protective barrier created by Albert began to crumble, which was the disadvantage of being too large, far from being as strong as the miniature version, and after the continuous impact of the eight-eyed giant spider, the defensive barrier gradually cracked.
"What should I do?" Fred looked at Albert uneasily.
"Keep firing red sparks to push the big spiders back as they get closer. ”
As soon as Albert's defensive barrier shattered, he used a fire spell to force back all the large spiders that tried to approach the Guardian Tree.
The situation is not encouraging.
However, Albert was not worried about his safety, and he was still using the Spider Retreat Charm towards the swarm of spiders below. Due to the sheer number of large spiders, you can basically knock down one at a time, so you don't need to aim at all.
"What kind of spell did you use to knock a spider down in one fell swoop?" asked George. The spells Albert uses are very powerful, and each blow can inflict a lot of damage on the big spider.
Albert didn't have time to answer the twins' questions, he was trying to reap the experience.
The professors are probably coming, and it is better to harvest as much experience as possible before the professors arrive. After all, two of them have 100 experience points, which means a level of magic.
If you want to master a magic for the first time, you need to waste a lot of time practicing.
It's a good deal.
I don't know how long it took, most of the big spiders surrounding the Dharma Protector Tree were knocked down, and these big guys would actually feel afraid, and no big spider with an iron head would dare to attack the Dharma Protector Tree.
Fred and George looked at the big spider that was knocked down by Albert below, completely dumbfounded, they didn't think that Albert was so brave!
One person singles out a large swarm of spiders.
"I felt like my tongue was about to get knotted. Albert was tired from the frequent spells, and he was stuffing chocolate into his mouth.
"Those swarms of spiders are retreating. George excitedly shouted, "Can we go back?" ”
"It's better to wait here obediently, leaving the protection of the Dharma Protector Tree, it is easy to be attacked by spiders. Albert reminded angrily, "Also, think about how to deal with the professor later, and the map." ”
"What do you want the map for?" asked George, suspiciously.
"Of course it's confiscation, can it be that you will continue to take risks next time?"
"We won't. ”
"People like to repeat the same thing. ”
"We don't understand human language. ”
"I know you'll try to find the so-called secret treasure of Gryffindor again, so give me the map, without which you won't have the foolish idea of finding any more treasure. Albert reached out to Fred for a map.
"Don't do that. George muttered, "We won't." ”
"Do you believe that?" Albert glared at George fiercely, reminding him maliciously, "I think you'd better think about how you should explain this to Professor McGonagall when you go back, and she'll probably tell your family." ”
"Oh no!" Fred screamed in terror and almost fell off the tree, but Albert was quick to reach out and pull him.
George was not so lucky, he was far away from Albert and fell straight from the tree, letting out a whimper of pain.
"Are you alright?" asked Albert, leaning over.
"Something, it hurts!"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, and give me that map!" Albert warned, "next time, you'll probably go straight into the eight-eyed spider's lair, and this stupid mistake will be enough for you to make it once." ”
Reluctantly, Fred handed the map to Albert, who stuffed it into his pocket without looking. Then, reaching out and pulling George up the tree, although the spider colony had retreated, it was still unsafe after all.
It was close to three o'clock when the professor finally arrived.
To Albert's surprise, it was not Professor McGonagall who came to their rescue, but Professor Broad.
The old man was wearing a dark purple robe, but the robe was a little torn, presumably cut by a branch while walking through the forest.
"Looks like you're all right. Professor Broad's eyes gleamed strangely in the darkness, and he looked at Albert with a smile and reminded, "Mr. Anderson, I have to warn you that you have been too reckless. Of course, I have to admit that you did a great job and I was very surprised!"
"Good evening, Professor Broad. Albert greeted the old man with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come to save us, I originally thought it would be Professor McGonagall." ”
"Coincidentally, I was about to go to the bathroom for a break, and I happened to meet Mr. Jordan. Professor Broad said as he walked towards the three men, "He told me everything, so I hurried here, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find two Mr. Weasleys, so I hitched myself on first." ”
"I brought Hagrid's Hound with me, and with it, none of the creatures of the forest would harm me. Albert took Hagrid's words and used them to stop Professor Broad.
"Do you believe that?" Professor Broad asked, looking around, smirking.
Albert was a little embarrassed, and he used this to fool others.
"By the way, what spell did you use to take down these eight-eyed spiders, these monsters are too dangerous. ”
Actually, Professor Broad had come after Albert.
Halfway through, he was surprised to find the eight-eyed spider that had been knocked down, and there were quite a few spiders that had been knocked down by the spell.
However, none of those added up shocked Professor Brod, there were no less than a hundred eight-eyed giant spiders that fell here, and the number was really amazing!
Three first-year students couldn't do it at all, and with the spells they learned in first-year, they weren't enough to fight an eight-eyed giant spider.
However, hundreds of them were knocked down here, not one, not ten, but hundreds, and this is a staggering number.
These downed eight-eyed giant spiders proved beyond doubt that Albert was powerful.
"Be careful!" George screamed.
"Alanya ~ Aether!" Albert raised his magic and cast the Spider Retreat Charm on the large spider struggling to get up. He didn't know how many times he had used it, and he was so skilled.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Anderson, if I get a bite from such a big guy, I guess I'll have to quit early. Professor Broad turned his head to look at the eight-eyed spider that had been knocked away by the spell, and the stunned look on his face quickly returned to normal.
Professor Broad walked over to the three of them, and when he saw the Guardian Tree, he understood how Albert had defeated the eight-eyed spiders. He said to a few people, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible, and let me see if there's anything suitable for a temporary portkey." ”
"Use this!" Albert handed Fred's hat to Professor Broad.
"What do you do with a hat. Fred looked curiously at Albert's hat, which somehow felt familiar.
"This is your hat, originally I used it to get Yaya to help you find you. Albert said angrily.
"Mentos"
The wizard's hat immediately emitted a blue glow.
"Alright, you may be a little uncomfortable going back with the portkey, so bear with me!" Professor Broad said gently.
"What about the teeth?" Albert asked.
"Don't worry, I'll take it back with the apparition. Professor Broad said, "All right, you get ready, I'll count and grab the hat together." ”
"One......" Professor Broder whispered, "two...... Three ......"
Albert and the three of them all reached out and grabbed the corner of the wizard's hat, as if an invisible force sucked the three of them, and flew up with the three of them, like a gust of wind, flying forward, and nothing could be seen clearly in front of them.
A few seconds later, Albert fell to the ground, and Fred and George fell harder than him, their faces coming into close contact with the dirt.
The wizard's hat, which was the portkey, slowly fell from the sky, just right on Fred's head.
Vomit!
Fred and George got up and began retching, apparently fainting.
Albert is a little better than them. After all, he'd used Apparition before, and was more resistant to the discomfort of using the portkey than the two of them.
"Don't worry, it's the key to the faint door. Professor Broad looked at the retching two and shook his head, "Madam Pomfrey will cure them, we'd better take them to the school hospital and help me help one out." ”
"I hate it!" Albert muttered. As he reached out to help Fred, he heard a rush of footsteps coming his way.
