Chapter 138: Where are the goblins?(1/2)
Compared with the Ministry of Magic of China, the Ministry of Magic of France is more than one level higher in terms of interior decoration, space utilization, and the detailed arrangement of various furniture.
But compared to the Fairy Liaison Office.
The French Ministry of Magic seems a bit unremarkable.
The goblin liaison office now unfolds before John's eyes.
It can no longer be simply described as a ‘liaison office’.
Not only is a large number of [Seamless Stretch Spells] attached here, it also occupies a huge area.
What you see are all kinds of things made of precious magic metals and magic materials.
It can be as small as a chair or a teacup, or as large as an entire wall, all of which are of high value.
Moreover, in the center and every corner of this space, there are many statues of tall fairy heroes dressed in simple clothes and holding sharp weapons.
The ancient legends of these fairies and ancient heroes were also made into paintings and used across the entire ceiling.
This makes this space not so much a 'liaison office' for goblins to work, but more like a temple for goblins!
However, in such a solemn and gorgeous temple, there is not even a goblin.
Not only that, all the surrounding furniture and furnishings are also in order and extremely clean.
This is enough to prove that the goblins were not panicked when they left.
They left here quietly and relaxedly some time ago.
But where can they go?
While John was frowning and thinking, a series of intensive explosions and shouts of death suddenly sounded in the outer corridor.
Michael, who was in charge of the alert, came to John’s side and said:
"The counterattack from the French Ministry of Magic has arrived. A rough estimate shows that the number of people is about three hundred. The configuration is still mainly conventional strikers, and the Aurors carry out characteristic attack mode."
Hearing this, John nodded, not surprised.
Because of the Floo Network and [Apparition], the mobility of wizards is far beyond the imagination of Muggles.
Especially when fighting on home soil.
So even if the French Ministry of Magic is a little slower in responding due to mechanism problems.
But so much time has passed, and relevant general support should be organized.
At the same time, the total number of personnel organized by the French Ministry of Magic is similar to what John had guessed before, exactly more than 300 people. According to John's guess, the combat quality of these wizards should be the same as that of the previous Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom.
That's right.
Such a team of 300 people is looking for death if it encounters the elite troops brought by John this time.
However, when John actually walked out of the goblin liaison office and arrived at the battlefield, he found that although the French Ministry of Magic troops were small in number and generally of low quality, the one-sided situation he had originally expected did not occur.
"boom--"
Large swaths of magic barrage were shot out from the array of French Aurors, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, and finally gathered together, almost forming a barrage net, and attacked the French wizards.
Although the French wizards opposite looked a little panicked.
Even the most basic [Universal Protection] shield was not deployed.
But one of their commanders inserted the wand into the groove of the wall on the side.
As a burst of magic light flashed from the staff, large areas of circuit-like magic circuits began to spread on the surrounding walls and floors.
And when these light patterns covered the entire battlefield, a translucent magic shield spontaneously overflowed from the wall, covering the French wizards.
"Boom boom boom..."
The magic spells shot by the Aurors of the Republic of China hit the light mask, exploding into a frightening brilliance.
But when the light and smoke of the explosion dissipated, what was revealed to everyone was not the tragic scene of the French wizards strewn with corpses, but an intact mask of light.
A volley fired by the Aurors from the Republic of China failed to leave even a trace on this light mask!
"What the hell is this?"
A foreign Auror shouted subconsciously.
His question was not answered.
Because the companions beside him also had faces full of confusion and horror.
They had never seen such a weird shield before.
This kind of protective power is almost as good as the legendary wizard, right?
In fact, it's not just the Aurors of the country.
Even the French wizards were shocked by the protective capabilities of the light shield in front of them.
However, they quickly reacted and started to fight back excitedly.
Due to their lack of combat literacy, their ability to fight back is naturally extremely weak.
Compared with the neat fire coverage of the Aurors of the Republic of China, the French wizards' counterattack was more like setting off fireworks. It was not only messy and scattered, but also extremely weak in power and had an extremely low hit rate. There was no way to defeat the Aurors of the Republic of China.
They pose a threat.
Fortunately, the commander who led them obviously didn't expect to rely entirely on these people.
I saw him pulling out a wand again and inserting it into another groove on the wall.
"Buzz——"
The magic circuit reappears.
Large swaths of blood-red magical aura emerged from the walls.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of blood-red energy arrows condensed from the air, forming a rain of arrows, and struck towards the Auror formation of the Republic of China.
"Prepare defense!"
The captains of the Auror side of the country roared and issued orders.
In fact, there is no need for them to give orders at all.
Almost as soon as the bloody magic aura flickered, the Aurors activated [Total Protection].
"Boom boom boom..."
The continuous rain of arrows fell continuously, suppressing the Aurors of the country for a while.
At the same time, Alice, who was at the rear of the war, couldn't help but say:
"Nicolas Flamel is truly the most powerful alchemist in history!"
John nodded in agreement and said:
"Indeed, the alchemy mechanism he installed in the French Ministry of Magic is absolutely wonderful! With the alchemy machinery and the reserved magical energy alone, he can actually let those French weaklings overwhelm our Aurors!"
"However, Nico Flamel is dead after all." Alice took out a mechanical box and said, "Without his personal maintenance, the loopholes in the mechanism here are still obvious. In just half an hour, I can
It's broken."
While stroking the nun's wand, John shook his head and said:
"Let me do it. Half an hour is too long. It's better to make a quick decision."
Hearing this, Alice raised her eyebrows, and looked at the French wizard opposite with a bit more pity and sarcasm in her eyes.
At this time, John was already holding the wand and making a charging action.
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"
"Boom boom——"
John waved his arm continuously and controlled the nun's wand to perform a double slash.
Immediately, the invisible blade roared out, piercing the blood-red arrow rain with an extremely shocking momentum, drawing a terrifying vacuum trajectory in it, and then printed directly on the semicircular shield that enveloped the French wizards.
"laugh--"
A sound like electric welding passed away in a flash.
As a large amount of magic aura burst out, a large crack opened in the shield that even the Aurors of the Republic of China could not break through with their concentrated fire.
This surprised and delighted the French wizards.
To my surprise, the shield was actually broken.
The good news is that the alchemical shield in the French Ministry of Magic can repair itself!
And even if John Shafiq personally took action, he only broke the shield and failed to cause any substantial harm to them!
This means that the Aurors of the Republic of China have no ability to harm them at all.
A group of French wizards immediately cheered excitedly.
But the next moment, another nearly invisible invisible blade was seen drilling directly into the shield along the gap made by the previous one.
"burst--"
To be continued...
