"You can try." Edwin glanced around the people in the supermarket coldly. Wherever he looked, the Muggles all obediently shut their mouths.
She continued: "There is no time. If you want to save the child, you'd better make a decision quickly."
The cashier shrugged, seeming to have made a decision, "Okay, I believe you, what do you want me to do?"
"Rush to the child, bring her back, and leave the rest to me." Edwin waved his wand, and a white light appeared on the cashier's body, followed closely by another green light.
The cashier felt that his body suddenly became much lighter, "I haven't felt so relaxed since I got married."
"Go ahead." Edwin signaled, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."
Many of these weapon-wielding Muggles are using special bullets, which contain the ashes of saints and can eliminate magic.
Edwin is not sure whether this sniper is also used, but judging from the current situation, it should not be. After all, it is too wasteful to use that kind of bullet to kill Muggles.
The cashier opened the supermarket door and rushed out. Everyone in the supermarket was sweating for her. Her speed was very fast, which was completely inconsistent with her fat body.
The bullet arrived as expected, but failed to penetrate the defensive magic. Based on the previous shot at the child's feet, combined with the current shot, Edwin roughly confirmed the sniper's location.
Although the Light Walking Charm sped up the cashier's speed, she was not running fast enough.
Edwin continued to wave his wand, and a stone wall appeared next to the girl. The girl was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.
The bullet hit the stone wall and left a crater in it. The cashier finally arrived.
Without saying a word, she picked up the panicked girl, protected her in her arms, and ran towards the supermarket with all her strength.
Her speed has slowed down a lot. After all, running at high speed consumes physical energy. For a person of her stature, being able to persist until now is beyond expectations.
Others in the supermarket were horrified when they saw it, and someone shouted: "If she dies, add another magic spell to her."
"Shut up and stop giving orders."
"Damn it, she can't come back. Hey, wizard, didn't you see? Come on, cast the spell quickly."
The crowd started to get noisy.
Edwin was so focused that he didn't pay attention to those voices at all. The defensive spell on the cashier was still there, and the bullets were not enough to penetrate it.
She had been calculating the interval between the two gunshots and her remaining magic power. When she was in the mayor's office, she consumed too much magic power to create the old seal.
In addition, the Apparition went wrong just now, and she had to use her magic power again to stabilize herself so that she would not appear separated.
Therefore, she has very little magic power left, so she must use it sparingly, and every step must be taken according to plan.
The intervals between shots became longer this time, and Edwin frowned, waving her wand to create a shield-shaped wall of fog around the cashier.
After a while, gunfire rang out again, and the bullet penetrated the fog and grazed the cashier's back, leaving a trail of blood.
"Damn it, my back." The cashier whined, and his pace involuntarily accelerated a lot.
She was almost at the supermarket. Someone excitedly wanted to rush out of the supermarket to pick up the child, but was stopped by some sensible people.
"Lord, bless them." Some people in the crowd began to kneel down and pray.
The bullet broke the defensive spell, which means that the opponent changed the bullet, so the interval between shots was so long.
Time is not enough, she still needs to block a shot before the cashier can reach the supermarket alive.
But she no longer has the magic power to block exorcism bullets, and her plan is not as perfect as she imagined.
The cashier was too slow, I couldn't blame her, Edwin forgot to take the child into consideration.
Running with a child in her arms was completely different from running with nothing. In addition, she didn't expect the other party to shoot so fast. Now, she could only hope that the wall of fog could interfere with the sniper.
However, the expected gunshots did not sound. The cashier and the child successfully escaped into the supermarket, and the crowd burst into cheers.
Many people came forward to help. The cashier collapsed on the ground and gasped for air.
Edwin also sat down on the ground, her back leaning against the cashier, her face was horribly pale, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead.
"Damn it, I still have to go to the town hospital." She muttered drowsily.
At this moment, a wizard wearing a hooded robe appeared at the door, and the Muggles in the supermarket became nervous.
"What's going on?" The cashier got up from the ground in a hurry.
The wizard pushed open the door and walked into the supermarket, saying in an extremely hoarse voice: "Those who want to leave can do so. I have killed the snipers outside."
No one dared to move. The wizard ignored these Muggles and turned to look at Edwin.
The female scholar raised her head with difficulty and looked at the visitor. The wizard took out a bottle of potion from his arms.
"Hey, stay away from her, asshole!" the cashier yelled.
"Yes, stay away from her." Someone shouted.
Many people came forward, holding various self-defense weapons in their hands. Although their faces were a little frightened, their eyes were particularly determined.
The hooded wizard raised his hands in a friendly manner, opened the potion, took a sip and replied, "This potion can cure her."
"Give it to me." Edwin stretched out his hand and took the bottle of potion.
"Hey~, sisters, be careful..."
Before the black cashier finished speaking, the wizard threw another bottle of potion to her.
"Apply it to your wounds, Tessa."
"What the hell? You know my name?"
The hooded wizard glanced at the people around him, "I know most of you. After all, I was once a member of the town."
He said the last sentence very softly, but it did not escape Edwin's ears.
"Ah, I'm not going to use something weird from a masked wizard," the cashier said.
Edwin drank the potion, and her magic power recovered somewhat, and her spirits improved a lot.
"Use it, Tessa, there's nothing wrong with the potion." She stood up and said, "Who are you?"
The hooded wizard turned and walked towards the door, "Let's talk somewhere else. There are too many people here."
Edwin glanced at the group of Muggles and seemed hesitant.
"Don't worry, I have sent people here, they will be rescued." The hoarse voice said.
"I hope what you said is true." Edwin followed the wizard out of the supermarket.
"There are no bullets fired at you." The wizard stopped and said, "Can you believe me now?"
"It depends on what you are going to say next."
"Haha, I have been observing you for a long time, and I know that you are suspicious by nature. However, I am here to keep an appointment."
"Going to an appointment?"
The hooded wizard walked forward, "Yes, some of you have always wanted to talk to me, and now, the time has come."
