"Disappeared without a trace."

As a wand stretched out from the wizard's hand, shook, and tapped, without many obvious signs, the earth wall in front disappeared together with the tree roots, gravel, and gravel in between, and the passage extended forward again.

A cut.

Then there is the repetition over and over again, which is boring and quite hard, because the principle of the disappearing spell means that the caster must always concentrate when releasing the spell and cannot relax for a moment.

So soon, after advancing for a certain distance, the tired wizard turned around and went to the rear to rest for a while, and his companions who had rested and replenished the potion took over the digging.

Willie knew that this work was tiring, because now she and the old housekeeper were also in the excavation team. They had participated in two rounds so far, and now it was her third round.

But there was no way. Now she understood what she wanted to do - in order to rescue the survivors as quickly as possible so that her father could get rid of his passivity, she had to continue to speed up the excavation no matter how tired she was.

"Bang! Boom——"

I don’t know how long it took, but the shock from the explosion on the ground should have stopped for a while, but at this time, there was suddenly another roar.

But what's even worse is that this time the tremors are accompanied by large amounts of dust!

"Back! Back! Back immediately...ah!"

Several warnings and exclamations were heard suddenly from the front of the long queue, and then dust rushed in from the front, completely filling the tunnel space. Then, there was a series of coughs and chaotic footsteps.

It rang out among the rising dust.

The old butler who was just in front had already held a wand to protect Willie behind him when the change occurred. The two quickly retreated with the team. Although the accident at this moment was indeed a bit unprepared, the team was still there after all.

It wasn't a complete mess, but we still exited that area in a relatively orderly manner.

"Complete the team! The team that exited first immediately counted the number of people, and the entire team began to clean up the flying dust... At the same time, be careful to guard against possible enemies!"

As soon as Willy left the dusty area, she immediately signaled the old butler to direct everyone to deal with the unexpected situation. As for the last sentence, it was the old butler who added it himself, because Willy still didn't notice any enemies around him.

Been close.

"It should have just collapsed naturally," she said to the old housekeeper, "after all... we were very close to the cave where the survivors were."

Willie was indeed right. After the wizards cast a few more cleaning spells, the dust in front of them was swept away, revealing a hole at the front of the tunnel - because it had just collapsed.

Once, a section of the tunnel that had been dug out was re-buried with mud and rocks, but it was still not completely blocked after all. I leaned over and looked through the short hole that was half a man high. Although it was dark and there was nothing there.

He couldn't see it, but he could already hear a faint sound coming from the other side.

"Miss... Miss! Uh... report, the tunnel collapsed just now and only caused one team member to be injured. There was no missing or death! In addition... it's cleared! Miss, it's dug! The survivors have been found!"

Just as the leading wizard hurried over to report to Willie and the old housekeeper, several more shouts came from the front, obviously trying to communicate with the survivors on the other side to calm their emotions and understand the situation.

And there was no need for the old housekeeper to give personal instructions. Many people began to cast spells to strengthen the surrounding earth walls. It seemed that they were preparing to completely open up the tunnel in one go.

So just a moment later, with another wave of dust rising, the last remaining earth wall collapsed on its own, and a burst of cheers sounded from both sides.

"Oh! Bonoit, your boy is actually still alive..."

"Etienne? Is Etienne here? Has anyone seen Etienne?"

"Are you okay? Oh, you're injured, come on...someone take Jacques out, he needs treatment!"

"Be careful, don't touch her wounds——"

…

After all, we are all our own people, we can even say that we are all "family members". We already have many relatives, friends and acquaintances. Now that they met, many people on both sides became excited.

However, in addition to those who were eager to meet, there were also more people who immediately began to count the number of people and move the injured - even if there is still a war going on, at least this is obviously not a good place to reminisce about the past.

"Okay! Be quiet and start doing things! Let's all take action!"

The old housekeeper finally spoke. Although he and Willy understood everyone's mood at the moment, there were some things that simply couldn't be delayed.

Seeing everyone finally putting aside their joy and sadness for the time being, supporting each other and walking back in a hurry, Willie did not speak to disturb them, but stayed silently at the end, preparing to leave behind.

However, at this moment, two wizards, a man and a woman, who looked slightly embarrassed, walked towards her cautiously.

"Miss, those eyeball-like roots are indeed you...ah no, that's not what I want to say."

One of the wizards subconsciously mentioned the special nodules of the Ley Vein Eye, but he quickly dropped the topic and turned to point to a corner of the cave behind him.

"Miss, look there, that's Charles and Clee... I mean, it's Charles Joly and Chretien Morin, the security officers of the Muggle Research Institute in Toulouse. They... I know this should be

It will be difficult, but we still hope to take 'them' back and bury them properly... One of them is her best friend, and the other is hers..."

Looking along the opponent's hand, one can easily see a piece of green flame that is still burning. And in the green flame, there are charred bones and two sets of messy clothes scattered on the ground.

The specific circumstances seem to be self-evident.

However, the wizard's words were obviously not meant for himself, but for the haggard witch who was standing next to him, who was slightly absent-minded.

There was a slight pause after the words fell, and there was only the sound of everyone hurriedly moving away. Some people turned around and looked at the corner with a slightly sighing expression. However, under the urging of the old housekeeper, they

No one specifically stopped.

Apparently, there seemed to be other stories in it - at least the two deceased people didn't seem to be well received by the rest of their companions.

Willie didn't pay attention to these details. She just thought about it and then nodded to the two people in front of her.

"You should leave as soon as possible! I know about this." She said softly.
