Chapter 222 Sudden Battle

?? In the dark alley, there was no trace of Hermione, and she didn't know where she went.

Aiwen and the strange girl in front of him were in a stalemate, and the two stood under the Christmas tree. The shadow was casted very long by the dim candles hanging on the tree, extending all the way to the depths of the dark alley without any light.

Aiwen looked at the girl opposite with a headache. She was wearing a large, shabby black robe, wrinkled her white and lovely nose, and smelled something in the air. coming closer...

Apart from being cute, her movements seemed harmless, but Ivan was stressed out. He also sniffed as hard as she did, and there was no special smell in the air except for the cold night air and the faint smell of alcohol from the carnival crowd in the distance.

At least, Ivan didn't smell anything.

Looking at the girl's appearance, it seems that she wants to stick to her body like this, and rely on her nose to find that unnecessary food.

Ai Wen took another half step back. Even if he didn't feel any danger, it was extremely inappropriate for a girl he just met to approach him at such a close distance.

Under the Christmas tree, the girl walked to where Hermione had just stood. With the faint candlelight around her, Ivan clearly saw her appearance.

In the dark corner just now, he just instinctively felt that the other party was very beautiful, with a petite figure, delicate features, and fair skin, like a porcelain doll.

Now to observe closely under the candlelight, Aiwen found that the girl's appearance can only be described in two words: stunning.

It is a kind of beauty that can directly touch the depths of the soul.

Especially her wine-red eyes, which shone brightly like two rubies.

On the contrary, her skin was still pale, as if all the blood in her body was concentrated in her eyes.

"Food..." the girl said in a daze, looking weak.

"Wait a minute, if you get closer, I will attack!" Ivan shouted.

He raised the wand in his hand, and as the magic power gathered, the light at the end of the wand became stronger and stronger.

Hearing Ai Wen's words, the girl stopped, as if hesitating.

"Very well, we need to communicate. As you can see, I have no malice. I just accidentally heard your song, and I was curious to take a look in the corner." Ai Wen said patiently, "My name is Ai Vin Mason, what's your name?"

"Evan Mason?!" The girl repeated without saying her name. She continued to smell and said slowly, "The smell of food..."

She was in a strange state, looking very weak, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

Apart from food, nothing else seems to attract her.

"I don't have anything to eat on me. If you don't mind, I can take you to the Leaky Cauldron. There is a Christmas party going on there, with a lot of delicious things."

"I can't go, I have to stay here, I have something very important!" The girl shook her head stubbornly, "I smell the food, it's on you..."

After she finished speaking, she approached Ivan again.

What the other party said out of nowhere made Ivan even more confused.

He can be sure that there is nothing edible on him except for a large pile of black magic books that have been shrunk by the shrinking spell.

Seeing the girl getting closer, Ivan didn't hesitate. He clenched his wand tightly and shouted, "All petrified!"

A red light flew out of his wand and hit the opponent without any mistakes.

Although I don't know what this guy wants to do, Ivan decided to be careful, because the other party's current behavior is too abnormal.

He was going to have a good chat after imprisoning her with the petrification spell.

If you really can't communicate, you can also take her back to the Leaky Cauldron, and ask the bar owner, Lupine, Sirius or others to find the girl's family or find out her details.

Aiwen's petrification spell hit the opponent, and just when he thought he succeeded, the red light of the spell suddenly deflected to the right, changing the original trajectory, brushing past the girl's body, and falling to the opposite wall.

Ivan froze for a moment, and he saw the girl's small hand hidden in the wide sleeve, holding a black wand.

The wand was very short, only about seven inches long.

It was surprising that she had a wand too.

Apart from this magic wand, what Ivan cares most about is that this girl is very strong.

She just released the protective spell almost at the same time that the petrification spell was about to hit, and she used a silent spell, that is, a spell that was silently recited in her heart.

Based on the two points of fast casting and silent spells alone, Ivan thinks it is difficult for him to do it.

Thinking of the strange stains on her body like blood stains, and the looming powerful magic power, Ai Wen was highly concentrated and dared not be careless.

He waved his wand and cast several spells in succession.

The girl didn't fight back, but Ivan's spells were about to hit her at the last second, deflected, and flew aside by rubbing her body.

There is a magical barrier around her body that protects her from harm.

Aiwen can be sure that the other party is not using the Iron Armor Curse.

It should be a protective spell that he doesn't know, and every time his spell attack is about to hit her, there is always a red light around her body.

Going on like this is not an option, Aiwen can be sure that the opponent is stronger than himself.

He was going to use more powerful magic, or more directly, to make a huge noise to attract the crowd on the street.

But before he could make a move, a red chain suddenly appeared out of thin air, rustling like a poisonous snake, binding Ai Wen firmly from bottom to top.

Damn it, another silent spell!

Ai Wen fell heavily to the ground, until then, he didn't realize what happened.

He found that his combat experience was too lacking. In fact, he had recognized this problem since the last time he fought the werewolf Greyback and Snape.

Two battles with very different styles, but one thing in common.

That is, Aiwen made many mistakes that should not have been made, and there were also many opportunities that he did not grasp. Just like this time, his true strength was not fully displayed.

In the communication with Sirius, he also pointed out that Ivan has this problem.

Like Hermione, the two of them have read many magic books and mastered many spells, but in actual combat, due to lack of experience, they cannot fully demonstrate their strength.

And this gap became more and more obvious in the battle just now.

Before this, Aiwen had never fought an enemy who used a silent spell. He hadn't mastered this spell-casting technique, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The opponent used the silent spell to take the lead, and used two magics that Aiwen didn't know in succession, making him unable to defend at all, and was subdued in such a daze. (To be continued.)
