During the two-hour journey, Ryan had dinner with the little puppets who came to support him. The rest of the time was spent analyzing and arranging what should be done in the next battle.
"Our destination is an open space in central Hampshire." At this time, the dining table had been cleared, and a 3D map was projected on it. Ryan used his wand as a pointer to introduce. "This open space is in
Northeast of Portsmouth, it is now a nature reserve."
"As for the wizards, I checked some information from the Ministry of Magic before, and I can confirm that no wizards have lived here in the past 300 years. When it comes to the connection with the wizarding world, the only thing related to magic in this area is
There are several very common magical herbs growing in the forest. However, these herbs are not unique to this region, nor are they the best in this region.
"That is to say, you don't know why the enemy wants to set the battlefield here." As the think tank in the puppet, Canary crossed his arms and said, "It is actually very disadvantageous for you to let the enemy choose the battlefield.
Now, can you lure the enemy out?"
"It's extremely unlikely." Ryan shrugged, "I have to destroy the evil magic ritual prepared by that group of dark wizards, and they also know about it. In this case, I don't think they can give up their presuppositions.
They came out of the trenches and fought me tooth and nail."
"That's terrible." Canary muttered, then lowered his head and looked at the map and said seriously. "If this is the case, you can only fight head-on, but such a large area is simply too bad for the attacker.
Okay, by the way, can you call in more helpers?"
"It's indeed a good idea to mobilize helpers. I think we can mobilize -" Hermione was talking when suddenly an owl brooch on her body vibrated slightly. When she saw this, she immediately exited the room. A few minutes later, her face turned ugly.
Came in.
"What happened?" Ryan asked, and the little dolls in the room turned their heads to look at Hermione. Under the watch of a group of people, Hermione took a deep breath and said, "Contact me just now.
It was Penelope who told me that the mysterious man appeared and defeated a seven-person Auror team outside Hogsmeade. Now the entire Hogsmeade is on the highest alert."
"Are you sure it's him?" Ryan asked. He didn't dare to be careless at this time. "Also, who is the mysterious man with? Is it the group of Death Eaters?"
"The mysterious man went out alone today, without any Death Eaters." Hermione frowned as she spoke, because this behavior was completely different from his previous habits. In all the previous battles,
A group of Death Eaters acted as the vanguard, and Voldemort himself appeared at the end to make the final decision. I have never seen such a tactic of Voldemort going into battle alone and shirtless.
"I guess this may be a containment." Canary suddenly thought of a possibility, "If the Dark Lord is alone, he has enough mobility to maintain huge pressure on the surroundings."
"You are right." Ryan nodded. "In this case, Professor Dumbledore and those currently defending Hogsmeade cannot leave their posts at all, even if they can redeploy more manpower.
Too many, asking them to come over is not to help but to die."
"But we don't lack manpower," Canary said. "There are 1,500 alchemy robots stored in this floating castle. Although the level is much lower than that of wizards, purely in terms of the number of human resources,
We have an advantage, although among these human resources, we are the only ones in this room who can be called human beings."
After nearly an hour of discussion, the response plan summarized by Ryan and the others was just a few words of adaptability. After all, the information they had this time was too little, and many places did not know how to prepare.
At 8:40 pm, the floating castle finally arrived 5 kilometers away from the agreed location. Standing on the edge of the castle, Ryan could only see the woods covered by a large white mist.
"Passive magic detection can't see what's inside at all, while active detection magic is likely to alert the people who were hiding inside and let them harm the hostages or take early action to destroy Zhixing's plan to harm ordinary people on a large scale."
At this time Hermione came up from behind him and said.
"The good news is that it is now basically certain that the jumping pot is inside, because we can feel a strong magic wave in the core area of this place, which should be caused by some powerful alchemy prop."
At this time, Canary also flew over and said, "Rose Crystal and the sisters are on standby. As soon as you give the order, we will rush over. For us, the distance of five kilometers is just over a minute of flight."
"
"Then I'll leave it to you." After Ryan finished speaking, he and Hermione jumped down. When they were almost close to the ground, they summoned their wings to slow down, and finally landed quietly on the ground.
"This is definitely not something naturally formed." After landing, Ryan looked in the direction of the target and found that the milky white opaque fog stood in front of them like a wall. It seemed that there was a transparent wall separating the place with the strange fog from the normal place.
It was cut into two sections.
"But, we still have to go there anyway!" Hermione looked a little helpless. "Even if there is a trap for us, considering those innocent ordinary people, we simply can't turn a blind eye.
"
"You are right, let us go in." Ryan smiled. "The possibility of getting a jumping pot this time is not small, because I think the mysterious person also knows that a defective product cannot fool me.
To be precise, his plan to turn ordinary people around him into Inferi this time is true. Because this can ensure that we fall into the trap exactly as he planned."
After stepping into the invisible wall, Ryan suddenly felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the visibility suddenly became no more than 20 meters. The mist was like cotton, absorbing all the surrounding sounds, making everything around him quiet.
In the haze.
"Did you find anything?" Hermione asked after walking a certain distance forward. "I found that my magical detection distance has been greatly reduced, and it seems that no animals or insects were found in the detection area."
"This place has a big problem." Ryan stopped and put his hand on a tree. After more than ten seconds, he put down his hand and said to Hermione. "It feels like all life has been taken away. Normally after I cast a spell
These trees are supposed to give me a feedback, but there is nothing now. The unusual thing is that they are still alive."
After speaking, looking at Hermione's somewhat puzzled look, Ryan explained: "Although plants do not react as obviously as animals when stimulated by magic, they do produce certain feedback to natural magic. But now, they are not as responsive to me as animals.
There was no reaction at all from the magic just now."
"What about the communication with the outside world?" Hermione asked nervously as if something suddenly occurred to her, "Especially, is the communication with the little puppets on standby on the floating fortress still normal?"
"It's normal for the time being." Ryan said, "Because when I built the floating castle magic tower, I prepared some magical communication methods that have never appeared in this world, so the communication with the floating castle is normal. But other than that
, the alchemy tools I used to communicate with Lupine and the guerrillas have expired, and the mist may have a shielding effect."
"Damn it! This feeling of not knowing anything about what's ahead is really terrible." After complaining, Hermione cheered up and continued walking deeper into the jungle with Ryan.
