In the evening of that day, Ted was still a guest at Jerry's house. After having a sumptuous and unique dinner with Jerry's friends, news came from the Ministry of Magic.
The Ministry of Magic has no manpower at all, and even the two interns here have to be transferred.
Because something big happened near Edinburgh.
A five-meter-long giant alien magical creature rushed directly to the edge of the city, causing damage to six houses, killing eight people, and injuring 12 others. It directly destroyed a section of the street...
It is said that the Muggle Prime Minister is furious and has already said that he will use the army.
The Ministry of Magic also dispatched almost all Aurors, strikers and Ministry of Magic employees to deal with the aftermath - how to cut off communications, how to appease Muggles, erase relevant memories, restore damaged buildings... But people cannot be resurrected after death! How to count eight people dead?
Since the fall of Voldemort, even the dark wizard community has followed an unspoken rule - that is, they cannot kill Muggles in public and expose the existence of the wizarding world.
Otherwise, if even the slightest trace of the wizarding world is exposed, it will not be the business of the British wizarding community itself. The International Federation of Wizards will also take action, and maybe the Ministry of Magic of multiple countries will jointly pursue him.
But now, this alien magical creature ran out of nowhere and appeared directly on the edge of the city, starting to destroy as soon as it appeared.
The response from the Ministry of Magic was slow. By the time relevant personnel arrived at the scene, the local police had been shooting at the unknown behemoth for several minutes.
"Those strange iron wands from Muggles are not very effective against the monster. They can't even penetrate the fur. Even the first team of Aurors who arrived didn't have a good solution. The monster has a very high magic resistance. He can still continue to move under the spell of several spells. He is like a fire dragon walking on the ground!" said a young employee in the Asian Management Office.
"I'm sorry, we have to go over there to support now. You can only support yourself here..." At this point, he himself felt a little embarrassed.
There are monsters attacking the village here, and people like me from the Ministry of Magic want to leave?
The strong man with horns was still more stylish and comforted: "Andrew, don't worry too much. This is not your fault. Go and perform your duties. I wish you peace."
These words were very good. They not only comforted the young staff of the Ministry of Magic who still had conscience, but also left a good impression and a favor.
This strong man looks quite rough, but I didn't expect that Zhang Fei's embroidery is both rough and fine.
In fact, this man can be regarded as the village chief. Although Decamond does not have such a position.
Ted was quite concerned about the "Monster Attack" in Edinburgh and wanted to inquire about the news, but whether it was the Weasley family or Harry, they were very far away. Even Ansu flying back and forth would take several hours. .
This communication is still too inconvenient. If you have WeChat, you can get in touch with just a ding.
That night, Ted stayed at Jerry's house for the night.
There was a group of adult demi-humans in the village of Decamond who didn't sleep at all and stood guard on the wooden walls of the village.
In fact, it was indeed not peaceful at night.
In the mountains and woods in the distance, various large and small beasts and even magical creatures rushed out. Some seemed to be frightened and rushed straight towards Decamond, while others took a detour and fled further away. .
The people standing guard at night fired more than a dozen rockets to drive away the panicked beasts.
The people in the village were worried. It was obvious that something had happened in the mountains, which had directly disrupted the original ecological chain. Many creatures fled in a hurry.
It's really not a good idea to resist passively like this.
But now, the village really can't send out large-scale manpower, otherwise the defense force will not be enough, and things will easily happen.
Ted sat on a stone pier on the edge of the village's stone square, listening to various discussions among the villagers while looking at his mission.
"Ding~Trigger the task:
[Exploring strange phenomena in the mountains (blue)]
The Misty Mountains are vast and contain many precious herbs and magical animals. Now something strange seems to be happening in the mountains, posing a threat to the demihuman village. The great man said that you should make many friends, so naturally you cannot ignore them.
Goal: Detect anomalies in the mountains.
Reward: 550 experience, 200 reputation of the demihuman village Decamund, card [Mountain (Blue)].
The distant mountains are vast in the evening mist, and the beasts are frightened for a reason. "
The village is not very unified in its ideas. Some want to go deeper into the mountains to explore the situation, some want to strengthen defenses, and some want to set up sentries around to increase the warning range. Even the most pessimistic people are ready to evacuate at any time. preparation...
After all, after living here for nearly ten years, every plant, tree, and stone on the ground is their hard work. It's really hard to give up. But if there is really a greater danger, it is necessary to lose land and save people.
Jerry's mood was very low. After all, the village was facing this unknown danger, but he had nothing to do.
He couldn't help but ask Ted: "Ted, tell me, what are we going to do?"
Ted glanced at him and whispered: "I'm going to explore the mountains. Do you have a nearby map in your hand?"
Jerry was startled, but then calmed down. After all, it’s not surprising that Ted would make this choice.
He took Ted to his room and dug out a leather map from the box under the bed.
This is a map drawn in the village, containing the main terrain of the vicinity. And the routes taken by their exploratory teams these days.
"Tell me, which direction should we explore?"
Ted pointed to a place on the map, "Let's go here first."
However, the two of them were discovered when they wanted to run privately to investigate the situation.
It's Jerry's childhood sweetheart.
"Jerry, where are you going?" The mouse-eared girl appeared silently behind the wall not far away and asked with her head exposed.
Both Jerry and Ted were shocked!
Ted: Holy shit, twelve meters, right on the edge of my mental perception range! Is it such a coincidence?
Jerry had a sneer on his face: "I was discovered by you again."
It turns out that this mouse-eared girl, Sydney, although she has not awakened her magic power to become a wizard, is actually a natural born stalker.
Jerry was already the number one nightwalker at Hogwarts. He didn't have an invisibility cloak and didn't know the invisibility technique. He hadn't been caught for nightwalking for two years.
But compared to his childhood sweetheart, it was nothing.
Jerry had no choice but to tell Sydney his and Ted's plans. Sydney immediately asked to join!
Ted hesitated, because if there was any danger, with his current strength, it would be no problem to escape with Jerry. But if there is one more person, it will be difficult to say.
At the beginning of his vacation, Ted had already used his experience points to upgrade.
To upgrade the wizard profession from level 6 to level 7, 21,000 experience points are required. After the reduction of talent [God of Learning (Purple)], 18,500 points are also needed.
1 attribute point, Ted added to the spirit.
1 skill point was added to the magic power, raising the magic power to level 7.
At this time, the effect of wand magic +1 level has expired.
This is where the cedar phoenix feather wand reaches its limit.
However, the magic power +2 level effect of the Pseudo Philosopher's Stone is still there.
After the bonus, the magic power is level 9!
Ted was already on Snape's level in terms of magic power.
It is considered the top existence in the magic world! And he is only 13 years old!
Ted dared to say that Voldemort, who had just graduated, was definitely not as good as him in terms of magic power.
The rapid increase in magic level has allowed Ted to have more powerful effects in the release of many magics. Some restrictions on powerful magic no longer exist.
For example, he has basically mastered all the DND3 level spells that he has never been able to master before.
Moreover, he has also used alchemy to refine many magic items, so self-protection is not a problem.
…
Xue Li also noticed Ted's concerns. With a flip of her wrist, she already grasped the dagger she took out from nowhere, "Don't underestimate me!"
Jerry also explained: "Sydney's combat effectiveness is very strong. She is especially good at sneak attacks...I meant to say what she didn't expect."
Ted said "Excuse me" and then used the identification technique.
[Sydney], a mouse-ear demihuman, level 4 stalker/level 1 dark thorn...
There is actually level 5!
Much taller than Jerry at Level 3!
