harry potter book of crimes

"...Oh, yes. One man and three women, not very old. It is true that four wizards passed through the passage at the same time... But sir, we can only know so much."

After listening to a trembling goblin searching through the records to find out what he found, Maka nodded, and immediately after, he stood up from the sofa.

"I know that forcing you to cooperate like this will only make you more angry. But there is no way, I am really in a hurry today... So, if you want to ask for compensation afterwards, you can go to Hogwarts another day.

I."

Having said this, he waved his hand, then stepped on the magic book and flew straight out of the cave.

"Then, thank you for your 'assistance'... When I go out, I will remember to help you re-block the entrance to the vault..."

After watching Maka leave in a hurry, the fairies couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what they were feeling.

Obviously, with the temper of goblins, they will definitely not be convinced. If they are shrewd enough, they will pretend to be obedient under the power, but usually they will secretly bear hatred later.

However, looking at the huge underground cave that had almost turned into a snow-white ice cave, even if they were not willing to be easily intimidated by Maka, they seemed to have to think carefully if they wanted to take revenge.

"Mr. Union President, that guy just said that you can go to Hogwarts to find him... Do you think that is the Maka McClain?"

After a period of silence, the goblin standing next to the sofa couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Then, the guild leader of Darkling Pavilion who sat on the sofa and never spoke a word couldn't help but slap him.

He smacked his lips and impatiently reached out and patted the armrest of the sofa.

"Nonsense, do you still need to guess? Why do you think I asked you not to do anything at will in the first place?" He said, "Huh, the safety door of this underground vault is not made of parchment. Anyone can just do it before they reach it.

The point of opening.”

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud "bang" from above, and the entrance to the vault seemed to be covered again.

The union leader who was interrupted by this sound paused for a moment, and after looking around the frost-scarred ice cave, he frowned and said:

"Go and empty the magma pool at the bottom of the vault. In addition, send someone to Gringotts immediately to contact us. If there is any accident, we will immediately retreat to the ruins of the underground old country to go to the battle between McClane and Helbo. I

The clan must not get involved!"

As for this, he couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Such a wizard is no longer something this era can bear... Damn it, is the ancient wizard civilization about to revive?"

…

The so-called "ancient wizard civilization" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of prosperity for wizards, but the memories of other non-human groups are mixed with fear.

To be honest, wizards have never been a kind race. Especially in their heyday, the deeds of conquering and enslaving other groups of magical creatures can still be traced even to modern times.

For example, house elves are the most typical representative.

And when it comes to the revival of the ancient wizard civilization... I have to say that the idea of ​​the Fairy Guild Leader of the Darkling Pavilion is really not unfounded. Because no matter who is the winner in the end between Maka and Haierbo, the winner of this duel will be

It will be a wizard, and after that, the arrival of the next era seems to have become a foreseeable future.

It can be seen that it is not unreasonable for the goblin clan to continue from ancient times to the present day. Their shrewdness allows them to always survive in every huge crisis.

Of course, all of this doesn't seem to be something that Maka needs to consider.

After helping the goblins blow up the entire passage leading to the treasury, he quickly left the hall of the Dark Spirit Pavilion and flew straight to the black market outside.

Along the way, in order to be able to smoothly sense the magic fluctuations of Hermione and others in the gray fog, he flew very low. For this reason, he could only fly along the streets and alleys. Although the speed was fast, it was difficult to find people.

The efficiency is somewhat lacking.

But there was no way, no matter how powerful the Acromantula's reproductive ability was, he was still running out of it at the moment. So at this moment, he could only rely on himself to find Hermione and the others.

Fortunately, as mentioned before, the presence of the four Hermiones was surprisingly "eye-catching" at this moment.

However, it is worth mentioning that before Maka sensed that there seemed to be a battle going on somewhere in the black market, the first thing he discovered was some anomalies in the black market.

"That's... the Werther family's carriage?"

During the search, Maka saw black carriages speeding through the black market more than once. Some of them were pulled by Thestrals, and some relied on Pegasus, but probably because of the fog, those carriages were basically

They just move on the ground.

On the carriages of those carriages, the coat of arms of the Werther family looked particularly eye-catching.

"What are they planning?"

The first thing that Maka thought of was that Haierbo might have contacted the Werther family again... Of course, at this time, this was not something that should be surprising.

"It seems that we have to go to the Witte family later to see what is going on."

The most important thing at the moment was to find Hermione and the others, so Maka did not go looking for trouble with those carriages, but continued to search along the streets.

So, not long after that, a chaotic fluctuation of magic power accompanied by the sound of explosion aroused his idea.

…

To be honest, Hermione and the others were obviously not in a good situation at this time.

The initial advantage brought to them by the magic tablets has been gradually exhausted by the wizard opposite.

She didn't expect that the opponent actually had some remaining strength before. It wasn't until the four of them knocked down four wizards of the opponent in succession that the guy gradually started to exert his strength.

At this moment, they were being affected by a strange spell cast by the other party. According to Luna, it should be a rare soul magic that could make it difficult for the opponent to concentrate.

And this is indeed the case. Now the difficulty of casting spells for them can be said to have increased exponentially. It has become increasingly difficult to cast spells simultaneously as before.

Fortunately, the effect of the magic tablets does not require them to rely on mental power to maintain, so they can barely continue to support themselves with the increasingly weak magic shield.

But now, it is difficult for them to make an effective counterattack. If Luna didn't seem to have a certain resistance to this kind of interference with the soul, the four of them would have fallen into a situation of pure beating.

What's even more terrible is that just now, several reinforcements appeared from nowhere and the situation on the scene seemed to be one-sided.

"Hermione, how long... can this last?"

Ron covered his dizzy head and asked with difficulty.

After all, the maintenance of the magic text formation also requires magic power. Under the influence of the other party's weird soul magic, he just felt as if he would faint at any time.

And diagonally behind him, Hermione's condition was actually no better than him, so she heard her say with difficulty:

"I don't know, but... I still have the last bit of preparation. I still have a few bottles of Lihuo that Maka left for me. If I really can't hold on, I will throw them all out..."

"Hermione...will we also be affected?" Ginny couldn't help but whisper.

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but pause, then pursed her lips and said:

"Well, probably... But even if we die here, we can't fall into the hands of those guys. I don't want to let myself become a means for them to threaten Maka."

"Oh! Okay..." Ron said with a grimace, "Although I don't want to die, you are right...we owe Maka enough. But...Ginny..."

"What's wrong?"

“No, nothing”

Just as Ron was thinking that he would have to let his precious sister escape from death no matter how hard he tried, there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere lingering among the group of wizards opposite.

What caused this strange atmosphere between them was one of the two wizards who had just come over for "reinforcement".

"The Witte family... Huh, the so-called inheritance of ancient wizards doesn't seem to be as powerful as the rumors say? Nine adults dealt with four children, and four of them were knocked down in shock... What if we

If you don't come, why don't you all lie on the ground in a mess?"

That's right, the two latter people were obviously not members of the Witte family. And just seeing that they actually ridiculed the wizards of the Witte family in person showed that the relationship between the two parties was probably not that friendly.

"you"

"Shut up."

When someone wanted to refute, the leading family steward just stopped the aggrieved subordinates. Although it could be seen that a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but for some reasons,

He still forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

After a moment, he said to the two wizards who came later:

"Please don't make these unnecessary provocations here. In the final analysis, our status is not any different. We are just doing things for others. If you continue to be so rude, our Witte family will not tolerate it again and again.

Please understand this."

"snort."

Although the two wizards are obviously not convinced, they are still cooperating no matter what. If something happens, no one will be easy.

Therefore, after snorting coldly, the two people stopped talking to the wizards of the Werther family. Instead, they turned all their unnecessary disdain into magic spells and directed them at the magic shields on Hermione and the other four.

It poured over.

However, at this moment, a strong wave of magic power suddenly spread, and a piece of icy cold air pressed towards them like a tsunami.
