Chapter 67: Liberating Mary
Maple shielded Mary from her face with her own cloak, and used a levitation charm to control a stretcher to carry Mary away.
The two children appeared alone in Tumbledown Alley and the blinding Dark Wizard came out to attack, but Maple had already released the Iron Armor Charm to protect herself and Mary, and it was not false at all.
Just use them to test the power of the new spell -
Thunderbolt Explosion!
Dark magic is indeed much more powerful than normal magic, although due to the wand, the destructive power of the spell released by the magic power of the wand is reduced by a certain percentage compared to its original power, but it is much more powerful than the smashing charm and the split charm.
And after Li Xiaoyao realized the principle of this spell, Maple found that the restraint of the power of the spell may have a solution.
A Thunderbolt Explosion is a spell that fires at a target location, then detonates a spell that completely envelops an area around it. Because of this principle, it can't hit an indiscriminate damage within an area like a hero skill in the game, but instead detonates outwards from the core of an explosion like most bombs in the world.
This also causes the explosion power of the core to be the strongest, and the more it spreads outward, the more the power is reduced.
If it's any other wizard, you must know how the spell has been handed down, so learn how to learn it! Even Voldemort was only trying to increase the power of the blasting core, and he didn't think about going further.
But Maple is different, he is not limited by the fixed thinking of magic, and he happens to know an unconventional weapon cluster bomb that is not comparable to the status of a nuclear bomb in later generations, but is still very important in strategic importance.
Cluster bomb is a form of empty bomb in which a large number of small bombs are clustered together, and small bombs are also called submunitions, and this kind of bomb has another name, sub-bombs.
Because of its great power and the terrifying lethality to civilians and civilian facilities, the international community has signed a convention to try to prohibit countries from using this inhumane weapon in war, but the United States does not sign it, the Celestial Empire is not stupid, and it will not cut off its own arms.
This horrific weapon had been used on a massive scale half a century ago in World War II, but no one in the wizarding world was as blind or deaf as a blind man.
Maple was inspired by this weapon, and since one explosive core wasn't powerful enough, a few more submunitions.
God closes a door for you, but at the same time opens a window for you.
If you really do this like Maple, then this spell will undoubtedly become a more terrifying black spell, but at the same time, it is very different from other dark spells, because it is no longer as easy to learn and easy to learn as other dark spells, not only is it much more difficult than normal high-level magic, but it is also very dangerous for wizards to use.
One explosion core is fine, after one more, not only do you have to spend twice as much effort to control the second core, but also be careful of the collision of the two cores, each of which is equivalent to a core of the power of the explosion spell, if it collides together, how terrible the power is! If the wizard has the slightest mistake in his mind and does not have enough control over the core of the spell, the spell will blow up all of himself and his teammates before it hurts the enemy.
But Maple is different, his wand is not enough to destroy his magic because of his strong control and stable form, but when used in the explosion spell, it allows him to control a new explosion core. At the same time, the reduced power of his explosive spell also makes his multiple thunderbolt explosions safer to use than others.
However, when he thought of this idea, Li Xiaoyao's card time had already ended, and he could only give up for the time being. The temptation to get a powerful spell is fascinating, but it's still a matter of life, so let the characters of the cards do such a dangerous experiment. Although there is no novice village in this world, it is not yet time for the Hell difficulty dungeon to be opened, and Maple does not urgently need to take out this spell immediately.
While it does take a certain amount of skill to cast a spell successfully, when the power of the spell is at the intermediate and beginner levels, the power of the proficient spell is more obvious during the practice. However, this refers to enchantments and Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Transfiguration does not fall into this category.
When it comes to the bottleneck of the advanced level, the repeated practice improvement is not so obvious, and the importance of understanding regains the upper hand. There are some exceptions here, that is, black magic, many black magic does not require high understanding, like the unforgivable spell of the heart of the heart is more ruthless than anyone, the more cruel the person, the more powerful the spell. On the contrary, it is a ruthless person, no matter how good his understanding is, he will not be able to exert the power of this spell.
The Imperius Curse is the willpower of both sides, and the Avada Soul Curse, with enough magic accumulation, whose soul is more depraved, whose heart is more evil, the more powerful this spell is! Although Dumbledore had the wand of death, if he really fought against Voldemort Arvada, he might lose Dumbledore.
With the defense of the Iron Armor Spell, Maple is not afraid of these people at all, and now he is using them to practice his hands, and through actual combat, he can quickly improve his magic spell from D-level to B-level level.
The battle lasted for half an hour, mainly because Maple had been using the Thunderbolt Explosion Charm, which he was not yet proficient in, but in the end he left a trail of debris with Mary.
made such a big commotion, and this battle was naturally watched by many people.
How confident is it to be so calm to use the enemy as a level?
After this battle, Maple was left undisturbed as he left Tumbledown Alley.
"Hogsmeade!" Maple's current apparition was not enough for him to travel long distances, so he still chose the most convenient means of transportation, the Knight Bus.
After the students were on vacation, Hogsmeade was deserted several times in an instant, and in this case, the pig's head bar became the most prosperous place in the village.
Although it was possible to sneak into Hogwarts directly from the secret passage, Maple still asked the owl to deliver a letter to Professor Dumbledore first, then bought a lot of candy from the Duke of Hogsmeade Bee, and bought a copy of all kinds of candy, and then took Mary to the Screaming Shack, where she waited for Dumbledore's reply.
"Maple, why am I here? Where is this? When Miss Mary woke up, she immediately asked when she saw Maple beside her.
"This is Hogsmeade!" Maple said.
"It's such a strange name, I haven't heard the dean or Emily mention it. By the way, if you haven't gone back for so long, the dean must be worried about dying, Maple, you must know the way, take me back to the orphanage! Mary chirped again like a lively bird.
Seeing Mary like this, Maple couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth, but it was impossible to hide it from her forever, and wouldn't it be even worse when she saw her fangs grow.
"Mary, listen to me, you can't go back to the orphanage!"
"Maple, what's wrong with you? Don't you know the way? So what to do? How are we going to get back? Miss Mary said with a worried expression.
"Mary, do you remember what happened to you?" Maple was a little unbearable, but asked anyway.
"Before me," Mary thought carefully with a frown, "I remember as if I had gone out with Ike, and then we were on our way back, and then I didn't remember anything. As soon as I woke up, I saw you. β
"You and Ike were taken captive, and your captor was a-"
"Vampires!"
"Suck, vampire! Liar, deceive! If it's a vampire who kidnapped me, then I, then I" Mary stopped suddenly, her expression of horror on her face, she didn't dare to say what was going on, it was terrible. Mary stared at Maple in horror, hoping he would tell him it was just a joke, please, make it a joke!
"Fly around!" Maple showed Mary a spell and said, "I'm a wizard, and you've been bitten by a vampire!" β
Maple said as she put Mary's hands on the two still missing tooth holes in her neck, and Mary immediately retracted her hands as if electrocuted, and then let out a frightened scream and passed out.
Mary was in a coma for a day and a night, but for such a long time, Maple did not receive a reply from Dumbledore. It seems that Dumbledore is having something to do right now and is not staying at Hogwarts.
"Don't worry, Mary, even if you become a vampire, I'll take good care of you." As she spoke, Maple took out all the sweets she had bought from Duke Honey and let Mary eat them as she pleased.
"Ordinary people like us often have people with magical talents, but the percentage is very small. You have become a vampire, but you also have magic in your body, and you can learn magic like me in the future. It's like thisβ"
Maple then used her wand to perform all kinds of magic on Mary, and also released beautiful sparks of various colors to amuse Mary.
"Don't worry, our Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, is a very good man, he will only sympathize with your plight, and will not treat you as an outlier." This is very reassuring for Maple, Dumbledore even accepts werewolves and half-giants, and he will not care about one more vampire.
"He's made many remarks about helping werewolf wizards improve their existence."
"Werewolves? And werewolves? Mary's mouth grew again in amazement.
"Isn't it scary to hear a werewolf's name? Maybe many people in the secular world think werewolves are very powerful, but the real situation in the wizarding world is that werewolf wizards are doing very badly! β
Then Maple gave a general account of the miserable life of a werewolf in the wizarding world, and Maple alone knew this, which made Mary feel sympathy.
There is no comparison and no harm, but without comparison, you don't know how happy you are, and when she found that there were people who were more pitiful and unlucky than herself, Mary's heart suddenly became less sad.
