Chapter 334: Tracking
Although the magic spell is demanding, it is not too difficult for this perception.
Because Allen saw this person with his own eyes, and also possessed the apple that the other party had touched, it is not difficult to detect it.
As long as all the materials are ready, Allen has a great chance of casting a spell successfully.
Unless the opponent is powerful enough to detect the fluctuations in magic power brought about by this spell, then the information he feeds back is likely to be a false performance.
Allen didn't think the person he met today would have such strength.
Hermione and Luna stood in the corner, and Miss Know-it-all watched Alan's every move seriously.
Allen took out the falcon's eyes, added some herbs, nitric acid, copper, and zinc from the material cabinet, and put them in the water of Xinghu Lake to cook...
Following Allen's spells and movements, the image of the wizard selling apples appeared on a well-forged and highly polished silver mirror covered with brewed potion.
Weeds were overgrown near this man, and he was walking quickly through a lush oak forest. He could vaguely see many broken stone pillars standing nearby.
Following Allen's control, everyone saw the man's face, and Hermione couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
What appeared on the silver mirror was not a human face at all!
"Werewolf!" Allen was surprised, and thought of the apple that could turn a person into a werewolf. As keen as he was, he immediately noticed that there must be something inside.
The effect on the mirror is gone.
"Hermione, I think it's necessary to check you again." Allen said to Hermione seriously.
Hermione nodded palely.
Allen used the detection methods he knew one by one, and even took out the crystal ball to divination the future. Fortunately, Hermione was normal and was not affected in any way, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to Oak Town." After the three changed into H94 uniforms, Allen decided decisively.
The three left the tower and returned to the town. The three of Allen used the Auror detective skills they learned from Albert to inquire about news in the town.
Hermione was the most serious. She actually took out her notebook and wrote down the information collected after the detection one by one.
1. People who buy magic apples usually take out the seeds, hoping to cultivate magic apple trees. The seeds are able to germinate and grow twisted saplings that mysteriously disappear when they reach about 2 feet in height. The villagers of Oak Village believed that the apple sellers sent thieves to steal the saplings in order to monopolize the benefits of the magic apples.
2. Outside Oak Village, there is an ancient road that has been abandoned. The ancient road passed near the underground castle, but it was abandoned due to the activities of dark creatures. No one knows for sure the past of the underground castle.
3. The ancient road passes through the ashes plain where no grass grows. This barren status quo is related to an ancient five-headed dragon "Wanse Huikong".
4. It is said that there are terrible monsters in the night, so the herdsmen dare not herd animals outside Oak Town. No one has ever witnessed these monsters, but the corpses of people and animals who have not returned overnight are occasionally found outside the village. The wounds are very strange, as if pierced by a large number of steel needles.
5. No one ever saw Taragon, Sharwen, and Sir Bravedo who went out to trouble the apple sellers. Sir Bradford is an outlander, and he holds a wand made of thornwood in his hand, with thorns all over his body, which is impressive.
6. Canon, the owner of the "Bubble Tavern", remembers that thirteen years ago, there was a missing person who kept a big tree frog as a pet.
After collecting the information, Allen's curiosity was fully mobilized, and he was determined to find the werewolf.
On the one hand, they always have anti-wolf medicine, and taking it in advance can effectively prevent infection in a short time.
on the other hand. Hermione and Luna need exercise.
The most important thing is that Allen is sure to turn into a phoenix in a critical moment and take Luna and Hermione to escape.
After drinking the Wolfsbane potion,
Following the guidance of the villagers, the three walked on the legendary ancient road.
Weeds are overgrown on the ancient road, and there is a lush oak forest nearby.
The three of them walked along the ancient road and crossed a rocky plateau. To the west of the ancient road, a long and narrow rift appeared.
"It's here!" Hermione judged after comparing several reference objects she saw in the mirror just now.
Here is exactly where the werewolf detected by Allen through the perception spell appeared.
Many broken stone pillars stand nearby. Most of the stone pillars sank obliquely in the soil, and some had even fallen into the deep valley.
Two of the pillars stand on the edge of the rift. At the same time, Allen noticed the same rubble pillar on the opposite side of the rift.
Allen and the others stepped forward to check.
Most of the pillars are broken and many are inscribed with ancient runic scripts.
"Whoever disturbs this peace, death will come to him." Hermione translated, standing in front of a pillar.
"Stop, the god of death is staring at you!" Allen also read the words on the pillar in front of him.
"There is a rope here!" Luna's voice was carried by the wind.
She was already standing on the edge of the rift, pointing at something inside the rift and shouted.
Allen and Hermione rushed over, a rope was firmly tied to a stone pillar, and the other end of the rope hung down to the rift.
"There are paw prints on this rope, which is probably for werewolves." Allen picked up the rope and came to a conclusion.
Then, Allen threw the rope down and carefully observed the environment around the rift valley.
On the rock wall, Allen found a man-made pothole.
His eyes followed the sequence of potholes and saw a small platform.
"How do we get down?" Hermione asked.
"Of course it's Apparation!" Allen took a good look at the landing point, took Hermione and Luna directly, and flew down.
What appeared in front of the three of them was a narrow platform, the ground was full of gravel, gravel and the bones of small animals.
At the edge of the platform, a roughly crafted spiral staircase spiraled downward, disappearing into the darkness deep in the rift.
"It's dark down there." Hermione pulled out her wand, just about to cast fluorescent flashes for illumination.
"No, Hermione!" Allen stopped her immediately, "Based on what we just saw, someone should have been here half a month ago. If they have malicious intentions, then we cast a fluorescent spell in the dark , is tantamount to sending them a signal and becoming a living target." Allen patiently explained to Hermione.
"Then what do we do?" Hermione put away her wand, but seemed a little disturbed by the darkness around her.
Allen pointed to the raven masks hanging around their waists, "Don't forget them! You can see clearly in the dark."
But even with a mask that can see things in the dark, it is impossible to see the entire platform and the bottom of the rift valley.
"Look, there are footprints." The attentive Hermione noticed that, in addition to the footprints of the three of them, there were other footprints on the platform going down the spiral staircase.
The three raised their vigilance and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, three figures rushed out in the darkness, moving extremely quickly.
They went straight to Hermione who had just made a sound.
Hermione, who had never experienced anything like this before, screamed in fright and stumbled back.
Allen was startled at first, and after he judged that the three animals were nothing more than phobias, he stood by and was ready to rescue them at any time.
In Allen's eyes, these three big dog-shaped Dreadrats are not difficult opponents except for the possibility of infection from biting.
Hermione glanced back to see that they were getting closer to her, running with a clear rhythm and quick and flexible movements.
