Chapter 866 Trapped in Haifa City
There is a British Muggle proverb that says, "If you always lie with the dog, you will inevitably get fleas (, youill getupithfleas①)".
Luckily, Lupine wasn't usually worried about fleas, he was a wolf himself, after all!
It's a pity that the fleas are easy to deal with, I'm afraid it's because of Sirius's restless temper. Ever since there was a big commotion in Haifa this time, Lupine had a bad feeling, so he sent back the request for a temporary return along with the ciphertext without saying a word.
However, in a short period of time, his injuries did not allow him to use convenient means of movement such as Apparition and Portkeys. If he really wanted to go back, the two of them would have to wait at least one or two more days.
But it was such a day or two that made Lupine and Sirius suffer so much.
Based on Lupin's previous prediction, he thought that the International Federation of Wizards would send staff soon this time, but what he didn't expect was that Haierbo's action speed was actually faster than that of the Federation.
It was only on the second night after the great fire in the city that nearly three hundred unidentified wizards suddenly appeared in the city center, and spread out in groups of two and two rapidly.
These wizards looked very similar to the small group of attackers before. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly because of their clothing, they were generally short in stature.
But contrary to their stature, they are surprisingly weird and powerful in the use of black magic.
Based on the experience of Sirius and Lupine who fought against them, it seemed that all of these wizards could use silent spell skills proficiently, and their power was not so powerful.
And, more importantly, those guys who hide their heads and show their tails use black magic that no one else has even seen.
There is only one thing that is very concerning, that is - the magic of these short wizards seems to be printed from the same mold, giving people the same feeling.
In fact, if there were fewer people, like last time there were at most 20 or 30 attackers, Sirius would not be too worried if he was prepared. The reason why Lupine was seriously injured was actually because of the sneak attack.
But if there are too many people...
"... Something is wrong outside. I seem to have seen a lot of black shadows flying in the air just now. I remember when we were attacked last time, those wizards of unknown origin could fly in the air without using anything."
At this moment, Sirius hurried back from the window and whispered his discovery to Lupine who was lying on the sofa.
"Are you sure those shadows didn't use broomsticks or anything?" Lupine frowned suddenly, "It's cloudy tonight, it's so dark outside... Can you see clearly?"
"I can't be 100% sure, but it should be right."
"Then where did they fly to?"
Seeing Sirius' confident expression, Lupine naturally wouldn't doubt anything. And because most of the wizards were from Haierbo, he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sat up with some difficulty propping up the sofa cushions.
"To the south-west, possibly to the coast—that's not sure," said Sirius quickly, "but I think they must have come from the city center."
"How many?" Lupine continued softly.
When Sirius heard the words, he immediately confirmed the picture that still remained in his mind.
Without the moonlight and stars, the night sky was indeed pitch black, but since those figures didn't fly high, he could barely distinguish them.
"A lot," he thought for a while, "I can see at least ten people, maybe more... They passed by two by two, several pairs in a row!"
"Ok……"
Lupine frowned and thought for a moment, but quickly shook his head to himself.
"What does that Hai Erbo think...he intends to rush before the team from the federation, first—"
"Clang clang!"
Lupine didn't finish his sentence,
But it was interrupted by a sudden crisp sound. Along with the sound, there was a large piece of glass shards, and two black shadows rushing in from the window one after another.
"Boom!"
Because Sirius was still facing away from the window at this moment, it was Lupine who was sitting on the sofa who reacted first. The pain in his stomach prevented him from getting up quickly, but it didn't prevent him from drawing his wand.
Suddenly, the cloaked wizard rushing forward seemed to have crashed into an invisible force, and even his speed suddenly slowed down.
This is a silent barrier spell that casts extremely fast!
I remember that Lupine was the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts. There may have been other reasons for that time-for example, Dumbledore seemed to want him to contain Sirius who suddenly escaped from prison at that time.
But it can be seen from the present hand that he still has his real ability to serve as a professor.
It's just that the range of an obstacle spell is not too large, and it is already the limit to be able to stop one the moment the other party enters the room.
Seeing his companion trapped, the other assailant who followed immediately shrank back and took half a step to the side, decisively treating his companion as a human shield.
Immediately following, was a pile of thin black needles spilled from the opposite direction to Lupine.
Those black needles that are as long as the index finger are all formed by unknown black magic. They fly fast and the needles are quite sharp. Once they pierce something, they will explode immediately.
Lupine and Sirius had seen this kind of black magic before, so they knew the power of this thing very well.
What's more, they didn't get this trick last time, so could it work this time?
When Sirius, who turned around in a hurry, discovered this scene, his movements were also fast. He swung his staff and pointed at the dining table beside him, and then suddenly swung his stick in front of Lu Ping, and the table precisely blocked the magic black needle.
Meanwhile, Lupine was certainly not idle.
After enduring the dull pain in his stomach and letting himself roll off the sofa, he lay on his back and stretched out his wand.
Even though the dining table was in front of him, he couldn't see the scene in front of him at that moment, but he still recited the next spell according to the position in his memory.
Immediately, he only saw a flash of fire from the tip of his staff, it was undoubtedly a stun spell. But he still did not trigger the spell after it took effect, and used some method to delay the release of the spell for more than a second.
Don't underestimate this second, that is the time when the opponent's black needle pricks the table and causes an explosion. And when a good dining table was blown to pieces by dozens of thin needles, Lupine's powerful stun spell quickly passed through the large piece of sawdust and went straight to the opponent's place.
Because the dining table thrown by Sirius just now blocked the view, the assailant obviously did not notice Lupine's movements. And when he saw the flickering fire, it was too late to escape.
"boom!"
The moment the wizard was hit in the chest by the stun spell, he flew backwards and hit the wall heavily.
Naturally, Sirius and Lupine were not interested in admiring the sight of the other sliding down the wall. After the two of them tacitly cooperated to solve one, they immediately focused on the first one.
The attacker who took the lead just now had already escaped from the influence of the Obstacle Curse. Seeing him raise his hand again, it was obvious that he was going to fight back.
Seeing this, Sirius took advantage of the opportunity to cast the Iron Armor Curse on his body, and on the other side, Lupine immediately thought of this choice that wizards often make in duels.
But at the moment when he raised his wand, what he saw out of the corner of his eye made him give up this idea - at the bottom of the wall by the window, the attacker who was "stunned" by the cooperation of the two at first stood up again!
"Walk!"
Lupine was well aware of the strength of the stun spell he had just cast, and if he couldn't make the opponent fall into a coma at that moment, it meant that the situation was not good.
After Sirius heard Lu Ping's abrupt reminder, he was only taken aback for a moment, but he didn't hesitate in his actions.
Out of his trust in Lupine, his best friend, he gave up preparations for the next offensive spell without hesitation, raised his wand and created a large cloud of smoke.
When the smoke was dispersed by the other party, he and Lupine just disappeared into the living room.
The two attackers searched here and there twice, but naturally found nothing, and the two who lost their targets didn't seem to care, turned around and left quietly.
Speaking of it, the two short wizards didn't seem to have spoken a word from the beginning to the end.
...
Of course Sirius and Lupine couldn't go far, they were actually hiding behind the sofa. It was only because of the Immortal Hidden Potion provided by Maca that the two successfully concealed their existence.
This is the benefit of Immortal Hidden Potion. If other invisibility methods such as the Illusion Curse are used, it may not be possible to escape those two incoming people with strange and treacherous magical abilities.
"Ahem, it seems that he really left..."
The two waited in place for a long time, and they were slightly relieved when they saw that the other party did not return suddenly.
If the fight continued just now, it would definitely be their side that would suffer—after all, in Lupine's current state, he really couldn't support an overly complicated battle.
"Are you okay?" Sirius frowned worriedly.
But although Lupine held his stomach in pain, he still shook his head decisively.
"Compared with this injury, I am more concerned about the two attackers..." He said seriously, "You have also seen that there are obvious differences between the two tonight and the four last time. After being the sneak attacker last time, it is impossible to use my body to forcefully receive my stun curse and get up so quickly!"
"Well," Sirius followed suit and nodded, "What's worse, there are more than ten guys like that just now..."
Hearing this, Lupine clutched his stomach and fell into deep thought.
