Chapter 190
In fact, when the Mouse Trader asked about the fog door and the fungus people, Hermione was sure that the mercenaries were sent by the Mouse Trader - although she was inexperienced, she was not a fool.
Hermione thought silently, wanting to confront him but also wanting to avoid the situation from getting worse.
"So it was you," Alice stood up and said, "that sent people to attack us."
"Don't say that," the rat dealer said slyly: "I'm just better informed, you have no evidence, and the price of talking nonsense is not small."
"Then it seems we have misunderstood you," Hermione didn't know that her move was a hard-to-get move. She just thought that if the rat dealer really had an idea, he would definitely not let her leave, so she immediately said: "Let's leave now."
The rat dealer was really anxious, and he quickly tried to persuade him to stay: "Actually, we still have something to talk about!"
After saying this, the Mouse Trader froze in his original position for a moment. He realized that his words were too urgent and the hidden thoughts in them had been exposed. When he looked at Alice again, he noticed the sneer on the corner of the ghost girl's mouth, which she had been covering with her hat. The sullen little witch also took off her hood and glared at people with angry brown eyes.
Then simply stop pretending, the mouse on the Mouse Trader's shoulder squeaked, and the Mouse Trader also followed suit, jumped up from the "throne" and laughed wildly: "Okay! If that's the case, I won't hide it! That's it! I’ll ask people to catch you! You bitches! I’ll only give you one last chance – to tell you the secret of the fog gate! And how you passed through!”
Hermione pulled out the wand in her hand without hesitation, pointed it at the rat dealer and cast a stun spell.
But a rat jumped up from the gap in the garbage pile and blocked the rat dealer's curse with its body.
The rat dealer and the mouse began to scream strangely at the same time. These strange screams were unknown spells. In response to the spell, rats came from every corner. The effect of these rats' actions was like garbage growing fur, restless, They rushed out quickly and surrounded them.
"A2!" Hermione shouted.
Without waiting for more specific instructions, a2 had already rushed forward. In the dark environment, he only had time to catch her flashing white shadow. The next moment, he appeared in front of the rat dealer, waving the knife in his hand in the air.
The hunter also took off her spear and threw it in the direction of the rat trader. She adhered to her creed as a mercenary and continued to fulfill her duties until the commission was over.
However, more rats jumped up, first blocking the path of the blade, and then covering the Rat Trader's body, forming a strange bulge. Then the bulge fell back, and the Rat Trader merged into the group of rats.
Alice immediately began to use the ghost's advantage to find the rat dealer. Hermione wanted to release the flames to burn the rats, but the rats came in like a tide, and she was about to drown them above her head. She changed the spell and started to freeze the rats with the freezing spell. Their bodies formed a wall of cold air.
At this moment, the Rat Trader activated the curse, which was a contract that every mercenary must sign when working under him. He used despicable means to conceal the terms. Now that the curse is activated, the hunter's head is It exploded like a watermelon dropped from a high altitude. The remains and body fluids passed through Alice's illusory body, fell into the ocean of rats, and disappeared immediately.
"The hunter is dead! Her head exploded!" Alice shouted to Hermione.
But Hermione couldn't see what happened to the hunter now.The frozen rats and frost formed an iron-gray wall, temporarily blocking the rat swarm, but Hermione's space for movement was still shrinking and was about to be capped, and a few crazy rats got through the loopholes and landed on her. On her body, she bit her and refused to let go. The pain caused caused Hermione's hand holding the wand to tremble. She fought against the pain, but it did not affect her spellcasting.
During this period, the rat traders continued to use words to oppress and threaten them, but Hermione and Alice never considered the possibility of giving in. One of them worked hard, and the other gritted his teeth and continued to fight against the rats.
The ice layer became thicker and thicker until it formed a hemispherical fortress, blocking the rats but also blocking the air. A2 on the other side was still trying her best to fight with the rats. She no longer knew how many bites she had received, but at any rate The body is inhuman, and the teeth of rats cannot break through the defense.
The only change at this moment is for Alice to find the rat dealer or A2 to kill all the rats before Hermione is suffocated to death, but in both cases... they are almost impossible.
The real method was prepared years ago.Hermione rummaged quickly in DeWitt's pockets and took out several scrolls, which contained DeWitt's spells.
First tearing open the first one, the ice protecting Hermione turned into light, and all the power of the water attribute was converted into a magic barrier to protect her, blocking her from a curse from the rat dealer, and at the same time, the rat corpse frozen in it crackled. It fell to the ground.
Then came the second one.
After there was no water vapor in the surrounding environment that would affect the casting of fire spells, several dexterous flames guarded Hermione. Whenever a mouse approached, these flames would branch out into tongues of fire equal to the size of the mouse. Hit every mouse that comes within a certain range.
Soon, the smell of burnt meat wafted up. The rats were unable to move forward in front of the simple spell, trying to extinguish the flames with their bodies, but the final result was only a black mark on the ground.
Hermione stepped on the creaking carbonized flesh and pulled A2 into the protective circle of flames.
a2 looked at Hermione calmly. Her skin was now stained with gray stains and dark red blood, her hair had already changed color, and her skin, comparable to that of a dragon, was still damaged after all.
"Underground!" Alice found the location of the rat dealer, and finally reaped the results after her anxious actions. She shouted, "Use some magic that can penetrate the ground!"
Hermione used another scroll.
The earth began to tremble, and the holes in the ground were filled with earth from above. a2 picked up Hermione who was unsteady, cut off the scraps that fell from a height, and used a knife to open a path to the outside world. After staying away from the garbage dump and reaching a safe area, she put Hermione down down.After a while, Alice floated over from the ruins. She said relaxedly: "I saw that man crushed to death with my own eyes."
Thinking of the dead hunter, the dead rat dealer, and the neatly dead mercenaries... Hermione didn't want to stay any longer. After learning Ula Silu's magic, she thought that now would be the time to change the past. It's time.
"Go back to Hogwarts," Hermione said. "Let things be as they are."
After checking all the items one last time and recalling the experiences of the past few days, time really needs to get back on track.
