Chapter 1693 "Fire Mushroom"
Just when Fort Blois received the news that the fog had quickly moved to the Strait of Dover, a dazzling "flame mushroom" bloomed in the foggy area above the sea.
"boom--"
Harry and Sirius, who were in the warehouse preparing to lead the patrol team back, only felt the ground under their feet tremble suddenly, and then there was a loud noise from the direction of the west channel.
When the two of them rushed out of the warehouse with their team members and stepped on the broomsticks to go to the beach to see what happened, a huge wave of tsunami slammed towards the port like a high wall. .
"Climb! Quick!"
Fortunately, the patrol members selected to stay at this outpost are very good at flying, and everyone is calm enough. Otherwise...it has to be said, don't underestimate the horror of water because of its harmless appearance. If it is swallowed by that amazing tsunami, they will not even think about getting out alive with broomsticks!
"what the hell is it?"
Harry and the others, who flew high into the sky to avoid the wave of tsunami, had time to look in the direction of the strait. However, the dense gray fog still hasn't dissipated after these explosions, making it impossible for people to see what happened.
"It was an explosion just now, right?" Harry said to Sirius with a look of shock on his face, "Could it be Haierbo? No... But, why did you do this on the surface of the sea where there is nothing?"
But this time, even the well-informed and quick-thinking Sirius didn't know how to answer his question. After hesitating for a while, he could only frown and say slowly:
"I don't know, it's just... I think that the explosion this time may not be Haierbo's actions - of course, it must be true that this incident has something to do with him. If I have to say... I think it's more It may be that someone is attacking him in an attempt to prevent the fog from making landfall on the French side."
Naturally, this guess was only a guess when it was uttered by Sirius. But soon, his last sentence seemed to have been proved—well, let alone who caused the explosion, at least the fog that had moved to the channel suddenly stopped moving.
"Sirius," Harry looked at the stagnant fog and couldn't help asking again hesitantly, "should we...should we go and see? Well, I mean, even if it's just a circle around the fog area it is good."
However, Sirius shook his head immediately after hearing this.
"No!" He said quite seriously, "Many cases have told us since ancient times that when we don't even know what happened, it is the most correct choice not to approach! After all, at this time, we Wouldn’t it be enough to tell Maca everything he saw? With his wisdom, he will definitely give us a sufficiently accurate answer.”
"Ah! Well, yes!" Harry nodded hurriedly when he heard this, "Then let's do this."
However, just when Harry was about to convey the matter to Maca in Castle Blois, the letter that Ginny handed out through the magic of the Blois family was instead delivered to him first.
"Sirius," Harry said softly, staring at the letter, "Maka said we can go back."
...
The news about the explosion in the middle of the Dover Strait came faster than Harry and the others.
To be honest, when Maca heard the news from the old housekeeper, he couldn't help being puzzled for a while, and then he figured out a certain possibility after some thinking.
In fact, according to the description of the family wizard who reported to Blois Castle, this explosion, which no one could see because it happened in the mist, was even more powerful than Maca. The explosion of the group of half-dead living corpses was much bigger.
And if anyone else could cause such a terrifying explosion... at least as far as Maca judged, that was already something that even Haierbo couldn't easily do.
"It's a Muggle," Maca, who finally lay down on the bed obediently before, couldn't help saying seriously after a while of deep thinking, "It should be right...that is a very terrible weapon developed by Muggles. Or it can also be said that it is a kind of "Muggle magic"! As for which side did it... Mr. Butler, I have to ask Mr. Blois to find Mrs. Maxime, and then let She should ask the head of the Muggles in France!"
"Yes, Mr. McLean, I'll go right away."
Seeing the old housekeeper leave again, Willie couldn't help but asked in doubt:
"Maka, what do you mean by 'Muggle magic'?"
It is undoubtedly quite difficult to explain exactly what it is to a wizard who doesn't know much about Muggles. So he didn't intend to elaborate, so he said directly:
"In short, it is a one-time weapon that can cause a powerful explosion. And after the explosion is over, it will remain in a large area...how should I put it? A very violent 'toxin'?"
Of course, the specific situation can only be judged after a real investigation of the actual situation, not to mention Maca himself may not know much, so for the time being, we can only explain it in such a simple way.
Seeing Maca following closely, he turned around and said:
"All in all, the explosion happened in the mist, and it was on the sea—this matter is not very important to us. I am just worried whether Harry and Sirius will be affected."
But before the words were finished, the old butler who had just left for a short time before came back, and there was another piece of good news that was enough to relieve everyone's worries after he came back.
"Mr. McLean, Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, and the team that stayed in Calais were already in the hall. However, the owner has not had time to meet them yet, so let me inform you directly. You see , Shall we let a few people pass by?"
"Maka, I'll just go," Ginny said as soon as the old butler finished speaking, "I'll bring Harry and Sirius directly over—"
"No, no need," Maca said immediately, "Luna, Delphi... help me, let's go together!"
"Maka, how can this work! You'd better lie down!" Hermione on the side hurriedly said, "You need to rest."
"Yeah!" Maca smiled, "Need to rest... But, it must not be now—you heard it just now, Mr. Steward said, the mist has stopped moving. And this... I think that means, Haibo was really inside when the explosion happened!"
"But now...he has probably left."
