Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

We have the mission destination, which is the destroyed teleportation array on the top of the tower.

The most urgent thing is to know how to get there quickly and safely.

After some encouragement from Alice, Xifa no longer dared to try it without permission.

Because you don’t know whether the mechanism here is broken, whether it has been improved, or whether it should meet the conditions but does not.

Thank goodness for Alice.

Xifa looked at Alice talking about things to pay attention to in front of him, and felt happy in his heart.

"Hey! Xifa! Do you remember everything I said?"

Seeing that Xifa's eyes were dull, Alice showed a suspicious expression and waved her hand in front of him, trying to attract his attention.

"remember..."

Xifa smiled and saw that Alice didn't believe him, so he expressed his summary.

To put it simply, the vines here hide some thorn-spitting organs with strong anesthetic toxicity. The thorns spit out are these vine seeds.

Stabbing into passing creatures is like collecting tolls. If you don't pay, you have to do something to pledge it.

The strong anesthetic effect is enough to make passing creatures unable to feel the spikes piercing their bodies.

If the seeds are left in the body, they will take root and sprout, and then quietly parasitize living things until they are completely transformed into nutrients.

Cordyceps sinensis in the magic world!

Xifa's eyes shone slightly, wondering what magical effect they had.

Painkillers?

Xifa burst into laughter.

"Except for the species at the top of the biological chain, there will basically be natural enemies."

Seeing that Xifa had said the same thing, Alice reluctantly nodded.

He told Xifa about the existence of a type of hummingbird that snacked on vine seeds.

"They fly faster than sound, and their beaks are sharp enough to peck through steel."

"The most important thing is that they are so big!"

Alice opened her arms and gestured in front of Xifa.

Is this a hummingbird? This is an ostrich! An ostrich that can fly at supersonic speeds!

Originally, supersonic speed was very difficult, and its small size could lead to injury in exchange for death.

Now that it is so big, if you peck it, it won’t hurt you, it will cost you half your life!

"But don't panic!"

Seeing Xifa's ugly face, Alice shook the two raised fingers on her hand.

"First, although their feathers are resistant to high temperatures, they are easily flammable."

After speaking, Alice put down a finger.

"Second point, have you seen those barnacle-like flowers?"

Of course you can watch it.

For several meters around these barnacle-like flowers, the vines have to make a detour.

Just like a little bit of red on the green cloth, it's quite conspicuous.

"There are magical fields around those flowers."

"Roughly speaking, within the range, the faster you move, the more viscous the space becomes."

"But they are also very fragile. As long as they are removed from the place of birth, they will wither within a few breaths."

"Unless, use some super powerful solidification spell..."

"Even space can be interfered with and given special attributes, let alone holding it."

"My suggestion is to use a silver instrument to remove it."

"Be careful not to touch it, otherwise you will not be able to regain your mobility until it withers."

...

Xifa understood.

It's relatively simple to get through here.

Just jump to where there are barnacle flowers.

Then pluck a barnacle flower and throw it where the next one is.

You just need to follow its trajectory and jump back and forth on the wall.

Of course, if there is a hummingbird-like magical animal without eyes that attacks you for no good reason.

If captured alive, it will be handed over to Newt for research, but there is a high probability that it will be handed over to Cassandra for experiments on necromancy.

At this point, Xifa opened his dragon pupils.

Start observing the position of each barnacle flower in front of you.

Soon, Xifa planned a suitable route.

But he still maintained an observation posture.

With his back to Alice, he was thinking about something.

Although the mechanism here is not artificially formed.

to be exact.

Ever since I escaped from the volcano.

I am no longer on the road of trials recorded in any record.

Therefore, Xifa was very curious as to why Alice knew the structure here so well.

Could it be said that Alice is an excellent prophet?

"Hey!"

A pair of soft hands gently patted Xifa's shoulders.

Xifa turned around in response, but Alice tilted her head and looked at herself with a worried expression.

Only then did Xifa notice that the roots of the vine were about to spread to his feet.

But I didn't realize it at all.

"Thanks, Alice!"

After thanking the girl, Xifa stuffed some more questions into the back of his head.

Let’s get out of here first.

Because, after being awakened by Alice, his heart felt uncomfortable.

Like, something bad is going to happen.

"Are you ready?"

…

"Xifa, you definitely didn't hear what I was saying just now."

"ah?"

Facing the girl with a resentful expression, Xifa scratched his head.

"I said before. You carry me on your back and release fire magic at the same time. I will attack those hummingbirds for you. You only need to rush to the top with all your heart and soul."

The rest of the conversation was of course Alice asking if she was ready. Obviously, she was distracted.

"Haha! My question. I was accidentally affected by these flowers and plants. But I am prepared and they can't affect me!"

"bring it on!"

He bent down and carried the girl on his back again.

He weighed the girl and found a posture that was most suitable for exerting strength.

By the way, this seems to have happened.

Are you carrying Elise or Luna on your back?

Damn it! The interference is really strong. My memory is blurred even if I try to maintain my sanity.

Get out of this damn place quickly.

Xifa took a deep breath.

Drawn out the Sword of Gryffindor.

Swords are much more useful than silver instruments.

Xifa asked Alice, otherwise, it would be really bad if there was an accident in the air.

——————

The two of them cooperated very well.

It's like practicing countless times.

But to be precise, it is not the credit of Western France.

It's Alice.

She is like a high-level dragon knight who can easily feel what the dragon beneath her wants to do.

In order to cooperate with it to make some actions, or assist magic.

The Animagus of Western France is a black dragon, so it is understandable to say that he is a dragon (laughs).

Xifa turned, twisted and jumped every time in the air.

Alice will make the posture that is most suitable for Xifa to exert force, thereby allowing Xifa to jump faster.

It was nothing at first, when Xifa took off for the fourth time.

Long Tong discovered a ball of magic power, which emerged from the chaotic magic stripes at an extremely fast speed.

But this is behind a thick stone pillar.

Alice…

Xifa felt that Alice couldn't react.

So in the air, he adjusted his posture.

When you miss the stone pillar, be prepared to use the Sword of Gryffindor to knock down the hummingbird-like creature that attacks you.

Unexpectedly, it was in the process of adjusting and exerting force in Western France.

The girl behind him fired a fire bomb with a restrained temperature.

It happened to hit the beak of a bird that had just emerged.

Xifa saw out of the corner of his eye a bird struggling to fall in the fireball.

Hmm...this is a situation where the body is not available.

Neither Newt nor Cassandra would blame themselves, right?
