Chapter 1187 The Strangeness of the Werther Family

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

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

It must be said that this is a protection spell that is very suitable for group duels. It allows all the wizards involved in casting the spell to join hands to maintain the same magic shield, and each additional person can increase the strength or range.

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

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

"attack!"

After Hermione issued instructions to the three people around them, the four of them used the simultaneous spellcasting technique taught by Maca, and tacitly targeted the wizard who was closest to them.

"Stupid-"

"Stay safe!"

However, even if they have become quite proficient due to their daily training, they still won't make it too late for the other party to deal with it. Almost at the same time as they finished their defense and organized their attack, the wizards who were approaching on the opposite side also began to cast spells one after another.

There was a translucent wave flashing across the area where the opponent was, and the next moment, the stun spells cast simultaneously by Hermione and the others all deflected to a certain extent when they reached the opponent.

However, it is obviously not a very good idea to use protective magic that can deflect the spell in such a narrow alley with so many people.

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

What's 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 without any precautions.

"Boom—"

When the wizard was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by four concentrated Stunning Spells, the attack from the opposite side also slammed into the magic shield around the four of Hermione.

for a while,

The light particles scattered and splashed, making it impossible for them to see the opponent's follow-up preparations clearly. They only knew that the wizard who was hit should have been knocked into the air in an instant.

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 fall into the situation of being beaten in an instant.

That's right, this is indeed a huge weakness of the rune slate in actual combat. That's why during the last disaster in London, Hermione used broomsticks to fly in formation to forcibly replenish her mobility.

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

However, the current situation is naturally not "normal" - the alley is only a straight line, so as long as the spell is directed at the front, the possibility of missing it is very small.

"Based on me, fight back!"

Following Hermione's words, the other three immediately nodded slightly, and the synchronous casting of the spell once again had a good effect. All four spells were aimed at Hermione's front, directly broke through the light curtain in front of her, and shot away together without missing a second.

When one's own magic shield was continuously shaken by the opponent's spell, Hermione and the others also heard a few exclamations from the other side.

Their attack has worked 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 is only at this level, she is confident that she can reduce the opponent to below them before the opponent breaks through the shield.

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

"Mr. Steward, those children are much stronger than we thought, we...we can't keep holding back like this!"

"Shut up!"

The middle-aged wizard standing in the middle glared at the person beside him, and after looking at the dark alleyway behind him, he lowered his voice and reprimanded:

"Didn't you listen to the old Patriarch's repeated warnings? Don't mention this matter outside... You know, there are not only people from our Werther family in this black market now! If those guys hear it, don't blame yourself, Even the whole family will be in crisis!"

Having said that, he paused for a while, and then said:

"Don't worry, with me in control, nothing will go wrong."

Yes, this group of wizards belonged to the Werther family. Although they still don't know why they attacked Hermione and the others, it can actually be heard from their conversation that they have actually kept their hands back until now.

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

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

...

Hermione and the others encountered fierce battles in the streets of the black market, and Maca hadn't known about it at this time. Right now, in order to confirm whether those four little friends came to the black market, he just broke into the underground vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion.

He didn't know that, in fact, he only needed to fly a circle directly over the black market, and perhaps he could quickly find what he was looking for through the fluctuation of magic power.

After all, the magic power fluctuations during the battle are quite strong, and even with the obstruction of fog, he can still detect abnormalities within a relatively considerable range.

But unfortunately, Maca is not a prophet, and it is impossible to predict things like a god. So he could only try his best to improve the efficiency of his search, so as not to waste time searching because Hermione and the others had never been here.

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

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

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

But maybe it was because the head of the trade union had just issued an order not to make random moves.

Even though the goblins glaring at him accounted for the majority, he still flew unimpeded all the way, flying to the deepest part of this huge cave under the cover of a large line of sight.

Looking at the goblin in a silk robe and a large number of gemstone rings, sitting on the innermost sofa. Maca suddenly stopped for a while, and stood in mid-air on the open space not far from the opponent, stepping on the magic book.

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

Yes, the goblins are indeed one of the few races that can use magic wands.

But since the early days, when they tried to become part of wizarding society, it has been illegal for goblins to possess wands, and it has been expressly forbidden.

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

Of course, this is a black market after all, and Maca wasn't too surprised when he saw these goblins holding magic wands.

Soon, after explaining in advance that he was in a hurry, he was about to ask the other party whether he knew that the four of Hermione had been to the black market.

But obviously, the goblins would not allow him to ask questions so easily.

"Wizard, I don't know how you opened the security door above. But I have to say, after you destroyed the security door of the vault in our Dark Souls Pavilion, you ran to us and talked to yourself again. Isn't that too much?" A little rude?"

Maca discovered that the head elf of the Dark Spirit Pavilion didn't speak, but another elf who was standing beside him was actually speaking.

Before he could respond, the goblin asked instead:

"Don't you wizards like to pay attention to etiquette? Don't you think that if you are so rude in front of us goblins, you will only lose face as your wizards?"

If it was normal, Maca might gossip with them a few more times, after all, it was indeed his fault that he forcibly removed the "cover" of the underground vault just now.

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

When the other party choked on him, Ma Kadang even waved his hand. His eyes didn't even move to the talking goblin, but only stayed on the goblin in charge on the sofa from the beginning to the end.

"First of all, your big gold-plated iron cover is actually not damaged, and the opening and closing shaft can be repaired and reused. So if you need it, I can pay you some gold Galleons for repairing the floor... ...But I see that you have dismantled the Dark Spirit Pavilion like that, so you probably don't care about destroying a few more floors, right?"

Just as he was talking, Maca smiled slightly again.

"Secondly," he suddenly changed the subject and frowned slightly, "Don't 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 on the tip of the staff in Maca's hand, and in an instant, a terrible cold current spread silently from his whole body.

"Crackling——"

Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, the air in the entire cave seemed to drop below zero. On the surrounding rock walls and ground, not only patches of hoarfrost quickly condensed, but cracks were even formed in many places.

For a moment, most of the goblins in the cave couldn't help shivering, and many eyes turned from annoyed to confused.

Because the change in temperature was too fast, the goblins could hardly react to it.
