Chapter 156: Appearing in large numbers
It's dark, and I come to ** Square again, where the lights are already on. The tower of the Gate of Heaven looks solemn in the light, but a building without magic fluctuations is nothing in the eyes of a wizard.
Under the Monument to the People's Heroes.
"Fenex Sain!"
Order of the Phoenix Seal, this kind of thing, if you put one in the sky after arresting a dark wizard or foiling a Death Eater plot, it should still be very emotional. But this time, instead of where it should be, it reappeared thousands of miles away in a foreign land, and above the iconic buildings of a foreign capital.
Shanghai's experience of using this magic without causing any reaction made Lockhart a little unscrupulous. But this time, if the Chinese wizards have a little bit of control over this country and this government, it should appear now.
The crowd in the square looked up at the sky in surprise, and the bright light of the Order of the Phoenix sigil attracted the attention of all those present......
The armed police on duty suddenly became in a commotion, and after this phoenix appeared in the sky of Shanghai a few days ago, the news that should have spread all over the country was immediately suppressed by the official organization, but every policeman and soldier. They were told that if they could find the person responsible for this phenomenon, they would be immediately promoted to three levels in a row.
**The news of the phoenix image appearing in the sky was instantly reported layer by layer, and finally arrived at the table of the real ruler of the country.
The Supreme Directive: "All relevant personnel in Beijing should immediately go to the place where the incident occurred and find out this person!"
Lockhart stood under the phoenix, this time the spell was cast perfectly, and it seemed that his control of magic power had reached a higher level. He waited proudly for the Chinese wizard to appear, even if it was to catch himself?
Ten minutes later, the first wave of magic power appeared in a corner of the ** square, and Lockhart was pleasantly surprised, finally here! However, before he could react, the breath of the second and fourth Chinese wizards appeared at the same time. Lockhart hesitated, why was it so fast?
In the few minutes he hesitated, several more Chinese wizards appeared, using flying props, and landed in the square in public.
And that's not the end, wizards appear in various ways, in more and more numbers. All the armed police in the square began to intercept the people who wanted to leave the square on the perimeter, and the wizards guarded the exits and began to check the people.
When what Lockhart was hoping for finally happened, he panicked - had he gone too far and stabbed the hornet's nest?
He took Pandora's hand and prepared to leave while there was chaos, although the best way was to leave incognito, but now he didn't dare to use his magic - when the first Chinese wizard appeared, he was ready to come forward and talk, and a large number of wizards appeared, as if they were ready to capture him. It's best to get through with Muggle travelers!
The two of them walked nervously towards the perimeter of the square, and Lockhart now regretted his death - he had been standing dumbfounded directly below the phoenix mark he had created, and it was a little troublesome to walk now.
"Well, it's okay, you can go. A Chinese wizard had checked the previous Muggle, quietly cleansed his memory, and then looked at Lockhart. ――
"Sir, can you understand Chinese. "The two Caucasians must be more conspicuous here than the Yellow Race, and he was quickly blocked by a few wizards.
Lockhart hesitated, who knew that the other party would not give him a chance to play dead at all, and immediately changed his English and asked again, Lockhart was still silent, and his hand quietly reached into his pocket.
The other party couldn't read English, so he had to turn around and call another person over. Now, a few more wizards came over - German, Russian, French, Spanish...... All kinds of small languages have popped up, and there are more and more wizards looking here.
Everyone else in the vicinity of the square had been examined and their memories cleansed, and the ratio of wizards and Muggles was growing, and soon only Chinese wizards and Lockhart and Pandora were left.
There were about fifty or sixty Chinese wizards in the square, and among them it felt that there were no Auror-level ruthless characters, and Lockhart felt that he could easily deal with five or six, and if Pandora was not there, ten could be taken.
But this time the quantity had overpowered the quality - Dumbledore's level could still be tried, but at least Lockhart's "quality" was not enough to crush the quantity. The point is that you can't use long-distance apparition to get out here! Get out with a broomstick? Don't make a fuss, there are at least twenty wizards here just now who flew over using various magic items, what the hell do they think, in order to capture a wizard, openly exposing dozens of them?
There are two options, launch a surprise attack yourself and cover Pandora's departure, or take a hostage and then what to do......
"Professor......" Lockhart was in a hurry, but Pandora was frightened and whispered behind Lockhart.
"It's English!" Someone immediately heard, "that woman called him Professor!"
The wizard, who was proficient in many Chinese, immediately stopped his futile efforts, and allowed the wizard who stopped Lockhart at the beginning to ask Lockhart in English: "Hello, sir, are you British or American?
"Don't come here!" Seeing that the other party was about to use a wand-like thing to test whether he had magic power, Lockhart instantly pulled out his wand with his right hand, shot down the opponent's weapon, and reached out with his left hand to grab the wizard who seemed to be a small boss, pulled him into the crook of his arm, stuck his head, put his wand against his neck, and then shouted loudly to the others.
It's impossible to take hostages in the ** square and get out, but there's no way to do it. "I have no ill will towards the Chinese government and wizards, I can apologize, let me go now, no one will be hurt!"
Lockhart's powerful magic power leaked out unreservedly to form a coercion, in order to temporarily intimidate the other party and get out. The target was found, and all the wizards in the square immediately gave up the investigation and gathered around.
This foreign cultivator was even stronger than he imagined, and all the Chinese wizards present had this idea in their hearts, and with an expression of ecstasy on their faces, Pandora was frightened and hid behind Lockhart and did not dare to speak.
"Sir, please lay down your weapons, we will not hurt you!" a young woman stepped forward and walked straight towards Lockhart, she had no weapon in her hand, but Lockhart had to back away from her.
