The tree monkey frog started calling the alarm again and again.
Although under his own command, the tree monkey frog did not hum.
However, the red light constantly flashing above its head made him feel particularly anxious.
He thought that this was the pressure brought by Xifa from before.
In fact, the information Charles received was slightly off.
The shadow told itself that two little wizards came out of the castle, but it didn't say who they were.
Charles self-righteously identified it as Sifa, Luna and Ogg.
In this ambush, in addition to personal grudges, the consultant also gave himself a task as important as hunting the ball escape bird, which was to kill Luna and Xifa.
Thinking of this, Charles felt annoyed. Why didn't he capture the ball escape bird first?
As long as he takes away a batch and kills the remaining ball escapers in Hogwarts, even if he gives up his mission as a consultant, he will still have merit.
But precisely because of his greed, he was afraid of catching the ball-escape bird and alerting the snake, so Xifa and the two did not dare to leave the castle. Only then did the situation arise where he had to bite the bullet and delay for time.
Do you want to use evil black magic with great side effects?
What he is good at is commanding magical animals to fight, rather than fighting in person.
Now that I am weak, I may not be able to defeat Xifa head-on, let alone an adult wizard.
While Charles was waiting and reflecting on himself, a whistling sound came from above.
who is it? ! It passed over my head before I had time to notice.
Charles finally made up his mind to buy time and use evil black magic if there was a fight.
Once he failed to complete a task... He glanced at the swastika tattoo on his arm with a complicated expression.
But after waiting for a while, no one walked into the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and hope lit up in Charles's dead eyes again.
According to his estimation, his men would arrive soon.
————————
Until she saw Luna and Elise safe and sound, Xifa's hanging heart finally fell.
Jumping off the broom, Xifa took the broom and came to the three people.
Luna and Elise were very wary at first when they saw someone coming on a broomstick.
But when they saw Xifa's anxious expression and eyes, they knew that the person coming was really Xifa.
Without saying hello to the two women, Xifa took out his wand and pointed it at Ogg after landing.
"Are you with the people who caused trouble in the castle?"
"A dark wizard broke into the castle?" Ogg was not afraid of the shadow, but he was worried about the safety of the castle.
"Xifa...unicorn!" Upon seeing this, Luna spat out a few words incoherently.
Oh, yes, Unicorn recognizes Ogg...
"Sorry, Mr. Ogg. I was impulsive." Xifa apologized sincerely, Ogg waved his hand indifferently.
Somewhat embarrassed, Xifa quickly changed the topic.
"What's going on?" Xifa asked the two girls what happened and why they sent an emergency call for help.
Luna and Elise briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Taking advantage of this, Xifa also drank a bottle of stamina potion.
There is only one broomstick, which cannot carry four people.
And although there was something strange in the forest when he came, he was not attacked.
Xifa thought for a while and felt that Ogg's analysis made sense.
"Don't panic. If the centaur has really attacked here, he is bluffing. Even if not, if he wants to eat the four of us, he is not afraid of breaking his big teeth."
Luna and Elise opened their mouths but didn't say much...
"Yes, we have to break back. If a fight breaks out, just leave me alone and just leave!"
As an adult wizard, Ogg naturally felt that he should stay behind.
Xifa thought for a while, if it was the same person who attacked him in Hogsmeade, Ogg, as the guard of the Forbidden Forest, would have no problem dealing with these creatures.
Charles will be held back by himself, and they will definitely return to the castle safely.
Even after studying in the past week, my strength has improved significantly. If there is a chance, it is not impossible to kill Charles here.
After discussing countermeasures for various situations, they entered the land outside the Forbidden Forest.
At the same time, this step also stepped on Charles' heart.
Because neither his men nor the pets behind him could help him.
As for me, most of my abilities are in my pets. Except for black magic, my other magic is at the level of an average adult wizard.
He put down the little pet that was reporting the situation to him.
Charles stood up, and a voice in his heart urged him to delay for a little longer.
——————————
Horse hoof prints disappeared here, and half of the strong horse people disappeared here out of thin air?
Xifa was alert to his surroundings and observed the ground at the same time. Through perception, he discovered that there were some messy traces of spellcasting around him.
It must have been that a lot of restoration spells and other repair magic were released, but the techniques were rough and hasty.
From the outside, everything looks safe and sound, but once you step into the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.
Upon careful observation, these traces are extremely conspicuous.
This is not where the centaurs really died. Maybe the enemy was afraid that Ogg would catch him when he was weak, so he hastily cleaned up the battlefield and ran away.
This was just Xifa's optimistic thought, which disappeared as a wave of magic came from the front of his head.
Xifa suddenly raised his head, and everyone followed his gaze and cast their eyes on the branches.
I saw a man wearing a black windbreaker wearing a mask with a grimace suddenly appear on this thick branch.
He looked down at everyone, and Xifa recognized him. He was the Austin Charles in the Shadow Empire who claimed to be in Hogsmeade Village.
"Cypha Corwin, first year Ravenclaw, Muggle orphan."
"The directors of Hogwarts are all pure-blood nobles. You cannot learn truly advanced magic. Do you want to consider joining us?"
“As long as you are qualified enough, we will open the law to you (shielded)”
Charles saw Xifa nodded slightly. His mind was a little stiff and he decided that Xifa had this idea and that he was as eager to learn 'advanced' magic as another Muggle freshman.
But he never thought that three magic spells would fly directly towards him.
"Ice Soul Spear"
"Expelliarmus"
"Crackling explosion"
"Whoosh——"
Following the three magic spells was the crossbow bolt fired by Ogg.
Years of life licking blood from a knife's edge refreshed Charles' spirit.
Subconsciously dodged the ice spear thrown by Xifa.
A donkey rolled to avoid the disarming spell directed at him.
But the explosion curse hit the branch under his feet.
Ogg lost his balance and fell to the ground while trying to maintain his balance.
But the tree monkey frog on his shoulder wasn't so lucky.
Ogg's crossbow nailed it to the tree trunk on one side.
Ogg is well aware of the shortcomings of tree monkey frogs.
Although it can sense danger, as long as multiple malicious sources appear at the same time, it will interfere with its judgment of correct avoidance.
"Charles, since you know me, you should know that Albus Dumbledore is my teacher. How could I agree to your invitation?"
He spoke jokingly, and his demeanor and tone were disdainful, but Xifa's eyes were fixed on Charles.
If Charles showed any sign of guilt, Ogg would take the two girls and leave first.
If I stay here to break up, there is no barrier here. As long as I want to leave, I can easily get rid of Charles's siege by teleporting.
"Too——"
Charles took a mouthful of blood, and his mouth was scratched by a branch on the side when he landed.
"I didn't expect Hogwarts students to do this kind of sneak attack."
He spoke unforgiving words.
"Each other -" Xifa was not to be outdone.
...
"I really don't think about it..." Charles had a 'friendly' exchange with Xifa, and Charles, who was in a daze, finally accidentally exposed his flaw.
"Walk!"
Xifa shouted without hesitation, waved his wand and fired a series of disarming spells.
