harry potter book of crimes

To be honest, the effect of Hermione's magic spell combination is actually very ordinary. It is actually the ancient magic spell version of the comprehensive protection spell in Charms.

However, the reason why Hermione chose it is precisely because most of its characteristics are derived from the comprehensive protection spell.

It must be said that this is a protective spell that is very suitable for group duels. It allows all the wizards involved in casting the spell to join forces to maintain the same magic shield. Each additional person can create an additional magic shield.

Intensity or range.

And when Hermione realized it with the magic tablet, the four people who originally needed to cast the spell at the same time were freed up. They only needed to continuously provide magic power to the tablet to support the shield for four people.

Obviously, Hermione's spell combination is equivalent to turning the four of them into eight people. Although there will be no increase in the strength of the spell, they can defend and attack at the same time.

"attack!"

After Hermione gave instructions to the three people around her, the four of them used the synchronized spell casting technique taught to them by Maka, and tacitly targeted the wizard closest to them.

"fainted"

"Safeguard!"

However, even if they have become quite proficient due to their daily training, it will not be too late for the other party to deal with it. Almost at the same time that they completed the defense and organized the attack, the wizards on the opposite side who kept approaching began to cast spells one after another.

.

I saw a translucent fluctuation flash across the area where the opponent was, and the next moment, the coma spells cast by Hermione and others simultaneously were deflected to a certain extent when they arrived in front of the opponent.

However, using protective magic that can deflect magic spells in such a narrow alley with so many people is obviously not a very good idea.

Yes, Hermione and the others' stun spell suddenly passed by the leader, and suddenly hit the chest of another wizard standing behind him.

What's even more terrible is that the wizard was already casting an offensive spell, and he didn't expect that the stun spell would turn towards him, so he was caught unprepared.

"Bang"

When the wizard was caught off guard and was hit directly in the chest by four stun spells that were concentrated together, the attack from the opposite side also hit hard on the magic shield surrounding Hermione and the four of them.

For a moment, light particles scattered in all directions, making it impossible for them to see clearly the opponent's subsequent preparations. They only knew that the wizard who was hit should have been knocked away instantly.

But in the battle between wizards, vision is undoubtedly a very important factor. Generally speaking, the party without vision will easily lose the initiative and instantly fall into a situation of being beaten.

Yes, this is indeed a huge weakness of the magic tablet in actual combat. That's why during the last London disaster, Hermione used broomsticks to fly in formation to forcibly supplement her mobility.

But now, they don't have brooms to ensure that indispensable mobility.

However, the current situation is naturally not "normal". There is only one straight line in the alley. As long as you cast the spell straight ahead, the possibility of missing the path is really very small.

"Use me as your benchmark and fight back!"

Following Hermione's words, the other three people immediately nodded slightly, and the simultaneous casting of spells once again had a good effect. All four magic spells were aimed at the front of Hermione, and they broke through the light curtain in front of them every second.

They shot away together without missing a beat.

While their own magic shield was being shaken by the opponent's spells, Hermione and the others also heard several exclamations from the other side.

Their attack is effective again!

"That's it, keep attacking!"

Although the difference in the number of people was more than half, Hermione saw a chance of victory. If the opponent was only at this level, she was confident that she could reduce the opponent's number to below hers before the opponent broke through the shield.

Unfortunately, things may not go as smoothly as she imagined.

"Mr. Steward, those children are much more powerful than we thought. We...we can't keep holding on to them like this!"

"Shut up!"

The middle-aged wizard standing in the middle glared at the person next to him. After looking at the dark alley behind him, he lowered his voice and scolded:

"Didn't you listen to the repeated warnings of the old family master? Don't mention this matter outside... You know, there are more than just members of the Werther family in the black market now! 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 continued:

"Don't worry, I'm in control and nothing will go wrong."

Yes, this group of wizards is the manpower of the Werther family. Although we still don’t know why they attacked Hermione and others, we can actually hear from their conversation that they have actually spared no effort until now.

of.

It seems that there may be a deeper inside story hidden in this chase and fight in the black market.

But just like Hermione didn't know that they were showing mercy, they, the wizards of the Witte family, also didn't expect that today's battle in the alley would become more and more complicated.

…

Hermione and others encountered a fierce battle in the streets of the black market. Naturally, Maka didn't know about it at this time. Now, in order to confirm whether the four friends had come to the black market, he just broke into the underground of the Dark Spirit Pavilion.

In the vault.

He didn't know that in fact, he only needed to fly directly over the black market, and he might be able to quickly find the object he was looking for through the fluctuation of magic power.

After all, the magic power fluctuations during battle are quite strong. Even if there is the obstruction of fog, he can still detect abnormalities within a considerable range.

But unfortunately, Maka is not a prophet, and he cannot predict things like a god. So he can only try to improve the efficiency of finding people, so as not to waste the time of searching because Hermione and the others have never been here.

"Are you the person in charge of the Dark Spirit Pavilion? Well... I know you must be unhappy right now, but I'm in a hurry right now, so I ask you to answer a few questions for me as soon as possible."

In a cave inside the underground vault, Maka found many goblins gathered here, so he flew directly inside.

And from those angry, cold, or hesitant eyes, Maka immediately felt a lot of hostility.

But maybe it's because the union leader just issued an order not to take action at will.

Even though most of the goblins were glaring at him, he still had an unimpeded path and flew to the deepest part of this huge cave under the cover of a large field of vision.

Looking at the goblin who was wearing a silk robe and wearing a large number of gemstone rings on his hands, sitting on a big sofa in the back. Maka suddenly stopped for a moment and stepped on the open space not far away from him.

The magic book stood still in mid-air.

He could see that behind the goblin whose identity and dress were obviously different, there were more than a dozen members of his own race who were responsible for protecting him. And in the hands of those guards, they all actually held a wand.

Yes, the goblin race is indeed one of the few races that can use magic wands.

But in the early years, when they tried to become part of wizarding society, the possession of wands by goblins has always been illegal and prohibited.

For this reason, goblins have protested several times in the past to gain rights, and have even found excuses to trigger rebellions.

Of course, this is a black market after all, so Maka didn't feel too surprised when she saw these goblins holding magic wands.

Soon, after he explained in advance that he was in a hurry, he was about to ask the other party if he knew that Hermione and the other three had been to the black market.

But it was obvious that the goblins would not let him ask questions so easily.

"Wizard, I don't know how you opened the safety door above. But I have to say, after you destroyed the safety door of our Dark Spirit Pavilion's vault, you then ran in front of us and talked to yourself. Isn't this too much?

A little rude?"

Maka discovered that the goblin in charge of the Dark Spirit Pavilion did not speak, but it was actually another goblin standing next to him who spoke.

Before he could respond, the goblin asked:

"Don't you wizards like to pay attention to etiquette? Don't you think that being so rude in front of us goblins will only bring shame to your wizards?"

Normally, Maka might have chatted with them a little more. After all, it was indeed his fault that he had just forcibly removed the "lid" of the underground vault.

But today, he didn't have that much time to reason with these goblins.

Hearing the other party choking on his words, Makadang waved his hand. His eyes did not even move to the goblin who spoke, but only stayed on the goblin in charge on the sofa from beginning to end.

"First of all, your big gold-plated iron cover is actually not damaged. You can repair the opening and closing shaft and it can be reused. So if you need it, I can pay you some Galleons to repair the floor...

...But I see that you have already demolished the Dark Spirit Pavilion like that, so you probably don’t care about destroying a few more floors, right?”

Just as he said that, Maka chuckled slightly again.

"Secondly," he suddenly changed the topic and said with a slight frown, "Don't ever say that I was rude just now, because you don't want to see me really 'rude'."

Before he finished speaking, a blue light suddenly flashed from the top of the staff in Maka's hand, and in an instant, a terrifying cold current spread silently around him.

"Crack"

Along with a series of cracking sounds, the air in the entire cave seemed to drop below zero. Not only did patches of white frost quickly condense on the surrounding rock walls and ground, there were even cracks formed by the frost in many places.

.

For a time, most of the goblins in the cave couldn't help but shudder, and many of their eyes turned from angry at the beginning to confusion.

Because the temperature change was so rapid, the goblins could hardly react.
