Chapter 16 Snatching the Magic Ball (Revised, Typos Have Been Corrected)
Going through the door, Allen was surprised to find that this was not a room, but a spiral staircase leading underground.
The murals hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor made various sounds, probably like moans of pain, horrible wailing, tortured by hell, and the sharp sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard. The fusion of various sounds, combined with the dim and faint green lights, is really frightening.
Allen walked as lightly as possible, followed Mr. Bokin up the creaking old-fashioned wooden stairs, and saw a thick vermilion wooden door. The hunchbacked Mr. Bokin pushed open the door. Before Alan had time to observe carefully, he heard a click, and everything was clearly visible in front of his eyes.
Pale and miserable lights filled the entire room coldly. This was a storage room without a single window. In the direction facing the door, what Allen saw at a glance were all kinds of weird biological specimens, mummies, and bottles and jars of biological organs soaked in unknown liquids.
The left wall is full of storage grids all the way to the ceiling. In the right corner, some large bronze-colored boxes are stacked neatly. Next to the box is a long silver table. On a cushion in a glass box on the table, there is a withered human hand, a stack of blood-stained cards and a glass eyeball, and there are some potions of various colors on the table and glassware on a wrought-iron shelf.
Looking across the corner of the table, Allen's heart skipped a beat. A dark blue ball was randomly placed on the wooden shelf along with a bunch of prophecy balls. The system sounded a reminder in his mind, and Allen knew that the unremarkable ball was the magic ball of Fowles, the goddess of luck, that he was looking for on this trip.
After turning on the light, Mr. Bojin sat in front of the long table, gently placed the tray on the table, opened the drawer, took out his gloves and put them on, and picked out a bottle of purple potion on the shelf. Research the power of the necklace.
Just when Allen was carefully stepping lightly and trying to walk into the room to look for opportunities, the moment he stepped into the room, a dazzling light flashed across Allen's body. Allen was discovered by the defensive device arranged in this treasure room to dispel the effect of the Disillusionment Curse on his body. His figure suddenly appeared in the storage room without any cover, and Mr. Bojin left the moment the light came on. Pulling out his wand, he turned and pointed at Allen to cast a spell.
"Intestine-extracting curse! Intestine-extracting curse!" Mr. Bojin quickly issued a curse, but Allen avoided it by relying on the child's short stature and using the obstacles around him to block it. The curse hit the shelf behind Allen, the bottles and jars were torn apart, and the liquid inside splashed everywhere; a skull rolled and fell to the ground, opening and closing its mouth.
Even if he has prepared himself for the possibility of the other party using the Unforgivable Curse, it is estimated that although Mr. Bojin did not want to use the Unforgivable Curse at the risk of being imprisoned in Azkaban for the rest of his life, what he threw at him with a raised hand was something meaningful. The more vicious curse magic, couldn't help but make Allen, who was hiding behind the obstacle, unconsciously tense.
The spell was invented in the 16th century by Urquhart Laharo, whose portrait is currently hung in the Day Llewellyn ward of St. Mungo's Hospital for the Magical and Sick, and Ellen, who had been to his mother's work. As far as we know, its exact effect Allen has not yet learned in detail, but it is generally known that this spell can pull out a person's intestines from the body-whether it is from the top or the bottom is unknown.
In order to avoid this curse, Allen, who was squatting behind the obstacle, did not stand up rashly, but simply threw himself on the ground with his hands and feet and rushed towards Mr. Bojin, guarding against the face of Mr. Bokin who Alan stood up to cast the curse. He was a little shocked by this unexpected attack, he even thought he was facing a werewolf or a vampire, the bite of a vampire was similar to that of a werewolf, but both were incurable diseases. (Author's Note: The setting that vampire bites are incurable diseases comes from the official website W.O.M.B.A.T. test.)
Just to be careful,
Mr. Bokin, who didn't want to take the risk of being infected, had to put down his wand and gave up the poisonous spell he was going to cast. He scrambled and crawled away.
And Alan, who knows that he is actually committing a crime and doing bad things, doesn't want to hurt anyone. His target is not Mr. Bojin, but the magic ball on the table. Alan grabbed the magic ball on the shelf and quickly ran towards the door go.
"The legs are soft and the feet are soft! The legs are stiff and stop dying?!" Mr. Bojin, who was in a stable figure, stretched out his wand and chased after him, and fired the soft leg spell and the leg lock spell in succession from behind, hoping to imprison the opponent.
But in the narrow revolving corridor, relying on the physical advantages brought by McLean's body training technique, Allen was as nimble as a monkey, jumping up and down to avoid the attack of the spell, but just as he was about to escape from the stair passage, Allen He didn't notice the vines that suddenly sprang out from the handrail of the stairs. Although he jumped in time with his reaction and avoided the entanglement of the vines, he was hit by the stun spell silently cast by Mr. Bo Jin from behind.
Fortunately, Allen's wizard robe bounced back Mr. Bojin's stun spell, which was not very powerful but easy to cast. As a result, Mr. Bojin had to temporarily stop and use armor to protect himself. Creates a short-lived transparent shield in front of him.
At this moment, Allen, who had already run out of the stairwell, had the opportunity to use the time difference to activate the illusion spell of the Miaomiao wizard's robe, and escaped.
Leaving Knockturn Alley quickly, the dazzling sunlight shone on Allen again, leaving the dark Diagon Alley behind, and gradually drifting away. Fortunately, the victim who suffered the loss innocently this time was Bo Jin, which made Allen not bear any psychological burden. The big deal is that when he has the ability to protect himself in the future, he can make a few more deals with him that are not so price-conscious as compensation. .
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the magic ball of Fowles, the goddess of luck. The magic ball can remove certain types of negative effects and curses. There are still 13 hours and 43 minutes before the end of the mission."
Time was running out, Allen checked the map in his mind, and was surprised to find that the lizard man was located in the Muggle world, and it was at Baker Street Station in downtown London.
Allen made a prompt decision, took a taxi to the nearest subway station, and then made his way to Baker Street Station. Here is a poster-sized bronze plaque that reads: "This platform is hereby certified as part of the world's first subway in 1863."
Typically, London Underground platforms are flanked by advertisements, but Baker Street Station is different, with space for promotional posters above each platform seat. These posters vividly depict the scene when the platform was first opened in 1863, which can be called a museum of the history of the London Underground.
But Allen didn't have time to watch these posters, because he found that the icon that showed the lizard-body here just now quickly moved to another place.
Allen was a little at a loss, should he keep chasing after it? At a loss, Allen saw the subway map he had just received (in London, every subway station, passengers can get a small subway map that is a little longer than the B5 paper for free.), compared with the scorpion in his mind The movement trajectory of the lizard-body man coincides with the subway line exactly.
"They still ride the Muggle Tube?"
