Chapter 1104 The Tilted Balance

Armenian forest, a temporary settlement of werewolves.

Birthday wishes?

Let a werewolf sing happy birthday to a wizard?

This guy, it seems, is really a crazy wizard and there is no way to save him!

All the werewolves glanced at Lockhart, and this thought flashed across their minds.

But before they could finish the thoughts in their minds, a silvery-white light fell from the sky, like the bright moonlight piercing the jungle, quietly suspended in the mid-air in the forest glade, and what came with it was There was a sudden suffocating wind pressure.

As if an unknown god was breathing downwards, powerful winds hit the forest glade, and the cabin shook with creaks.

At the steps of the werewolf hut, Lockhart stood up and let out a long breath of relief.

Even if there is no communication, Elena Kaslana's personal rescue can already prove too many things.

At least the Great Arcana Council's covenant was not a lie, and he was not a "criminal" character who was casually separated and sacrificed.

"This is... the savior you call? A mysterious, mysterious woman?"

The middle-aged werewolf wizard frowned and glanced at the mysterious girl suspended in mid-air, covered in blue and white magic armor.

There was a shimmer in front of the mysterious girl's face. Even if the werewolves tried their best to squint, they couldn't clearly see her face behind the shimmer.

There is no magic that can fly freely in the wizarding world, at least not in McIntosh's impression.

In other words, just by flying freely, this mysterious girl who followed Gilderoy Lockhart's magical fireworks is quite dangerous in the eyes of the werewolf wizards - you know, they He couldn't see clearly how the other party appeared in the forest.

The phantom migration will not be so quiet, nor will it produce a silver-white afterimage, nor will it carry such strong wind pressure.

Antilicia McIntosh has only experienced the suffocating wind pressure in one situation:

When the fire dragon attacks the ground!

"Lockhart, what are you doing?! Why don't you go back on your own?!"

Elena was suspended about three meters above the ground, looking at the wizard below with a frosty face.

"Start explaining within three seconds! If there is any chanting of spells or organizing attacks, you will be regarded as a first-level threat by The Fool."

The magic "mask" not only conceals her appearance, but also automatically adjusts her voice simultaneously. Therefore, the voice that falls in the ears of the werewolves and Lockhart is not her cute loli original voice, but A slightly arrogant and cold girl's voice.

While issuing the question, Elena's "Valkyria" magic protection, early warning, and countermeasures were all activated.

If Lockhart is captured by the "enemy", or if this is a conspiracy against her and the Hyperion...

Then she would notify the Hyperion as soon as possible to launch a saturation attack. With such a close linear lock, Gilderoy Lockhart would be instantly accelerated to the speed of sound by the "Valkyrie" before he could even recite the spell. Crash directly - Unlike other "white" werewolves, Elena's "defensive counterattack" against all Major Arcana has already been started, and she can choose to actively start a battle round to end the opponent at any time.

Elena looked around warily, her eyes sweeping over the ragged werewolves and Lockhart.

Except for a few haggard wizards holding wands not far away, there seemed to be nothing in this woodland that could pose a threat to her.

"Most of the werewolves in Europe are gathered here, including Muggles and wizards..."

Lockhart spoke quickly, with the wand in his hand naturally drooping, not daring to make any move that might cause the young lady to misunderstand.

"The werewolf community has now formed a special social model. If we want to explore the 'wolf transformation plan', it will obviously be more efficient to conduct research and treatment simultaneously in the existing real environment rather than starting from scratch or looking for other analogies. It has reference value and benefit.”

"It is very easy to escape from this area, but it will be difficult to encounter such a gathering of werewolves in the future."

Gilderoy Lockhart spread his hands and said openly, "The current environment in the wizarding world is becoming increasingly unfriendly to werewolves, especially after the British Ministry of Magic took the lead in raiding the werewolf community. The werewolves either They break into pieces and live alone and hide, or they gather together to form a highly aggressive wandering tribe to protect themselves. But the people in this forest are different. They just hope to live like individuals again..."

“To get to the point, so—what do you want to do?”

Elena looked Lockhart up and down and asked softly, thoughtfully.

This was perhaps the most miserable Lockhart she had ever seen. His golden curls were stuck to his forehead with sweat, there were still some traces of mud around his robes, his face was pale, and his body was still shaking unconsciously... Apparently, he had just experienced some not-so-good reception.

"If we take action, then whether it is a stable and normal living area, a monthly supply of wolfsbane potion, or even treatment attempts to restore werewolves to adults - in this world, no magic organization can do it except us. The conditions are met. Even if werewolf treatment cannot be popularized in a short period of time, we can at least provide the most basic shelter for these werewolves——"

"Very good, so what's the reason? In other words, what's on the other side of the scale?" Elena shrugged and interrupted Lockhart.

"Eh? A scale?" Lockhart blinked, "What scale?"

"The balance of equivalent exchange. Obviously, miracles and magic, there is a fee -"

Elena whispered coldly and ruthlessly, the blue and white magic armor exuding a coldness that was completely different from Lockhart's usual impression.

"We have paid money, time, manpower, and taken risks... So what can we get? The temporary friendship of werewolves? The banner of the magical government? The honorary badge of Sir Merlin? With all due respect, the treatment and shelter of a werewolf The cost is enough to assist a hundred innocent and cute Ukrainian Muggle girls. If you want to become a 'hero', you may want to consider some simpler and more cost-effective ways."

"But……"

"Did they take the initiative to send you aid, hoping to get asylum from the Great Arcana Council?"

"No."

"So in addition to causing them to turn into wolves every month, will lycanthropy also take their lives like the 'Wizard's Sorrow'?"

"Probably... not."

"The last question, most of the time when they are not lycanthropic, are werewolves mentally handicapped or physically disabled, so that you think they can't survive without someone protecting them? What if werewolves are really that fragile and pitiable? , they are long gone.”

Under Elena's series of questions, the smile on Lockhart's face began to disappear for the first time tonight.

The young wizard's lips moved, as if he wanted to defend or refute something, but in the end nothing came out.

"Very good, it looks like we're back on the same page pretty quickly."

Elena glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart and continued speaking indifferently.

"You also know how to apparate, right? The coordinates are the location of Aghashyan's residence. We will meet there and board the ship to leave. As for the punishment for your impulsive behavior, as well as the follow-up clean-up and handover work, we will soon Submit it to the Council of the Major Arcana for discussion.”

"But, this opportunity - I mean the opportunity for most of Europe's werewolves to gather together..."

"So you're working for the International Confederation of Wizards?"

Elena frowned slightly, scanning the dark werewolves around her with her peripheral vision, and spoke softly unmoved.

"This is very rare, but for us, it is meaningless - as long as we wish, we can attract several times the number of werewolves at any time, and it will be aboveboard and without any need for cover-up, do you understand what I mean? ?Mr. Lockhart."

"Now, please leave this dangerous area immediately... This is an order, in the name of 'The Fool'."

After glancing at Lockhart who seemed to want to say something else, Elena waved her hand impatiently.

In fact, if it weren't for the restraint of reason, after judging that Lockhart was "smart enough" to send out the "highest level" false alarm, Elena almost couldn't help but carry out the rescue according to the "Russian rescue manual" - almost, Destiny is about to start a war over this.

As the ultimatum was issued, the runes around Valkyrie's magical armor began to flicker one by one.

Just as a certain Dark Lord had guessed, Elena was in a pretty bad mood right now.

She wandered over the Armenian forest for more than an hour, sneaking in secretly and gathering troops. Countless wizards and goblins were all running at high speed because of the alarm that the "Hanged Man" emblem was destroyed. The Hyperion, the Destiny Group, the ancient The Lingge Wizard Bank has activated a wartime alert, and the cause of all this... is all because some idiot triggered the alarm smartly and wanted to be a hero...
