Chapter 698

"... put down your wand! I warn you, put down your wand immediately! This is the British magic world. It is against --"

In a vendor area near the forbidden forest, Hermione was reprimanding a man in both voice and color. However, when trying to maintain her righteous expression, her cheeks inevitably flushed, and even her ears seemed to be burning unknowingly.

I can't help it. It's really because the wizard's dress is too... Well, too ashamed for a young girl who hasn't graduated.

Yes, right in front of her, a guy with only a piece of animal leather wrapped around his waist was holding a crooked wand and staring at Hermione. It was just that he didn't seem to be able to speak English. Even if he chattered for a while, he couldn't make Hermione understand even one word.

Probably after realizing that warning the other party was meaningless, Hermione quickly chose to close her mouth. However, with her temperament, she will not give up.

She racked her brains while thinking, stretched out her hand, pointed to the strange wand in the other party's hand, and waved her hand and shook her head.

However, the facts tell us that even body language has great cultural differences. I don't know which action Hermione made went wrong. The wizard who seemed to belong to the African delegation suddenly became nervous, and the wand that had been pointing obliquely behind Hermione suddenly moved to her position.

Because the other party suddenly increased their hostility, and even the object was changed to herself, Hermione had to tighten her nerves and stop her body movements.

This open space in the crowd, which originally appeared because of sudden disputes, also expanded a bit again at this moment. As a result, the third party who had stood behind Hermione suddenly became much more eye-catching.

"Luna, you go first... Go find Maka quickly." in order to avoid stimulating each other again, Hermione can only keep still as much as possible and whisper to the girl behind her. "He is the person in charge of negotiating with delegations of various countries. Only he can solve this matter as quickly as possible... I will try my best to hold this person down."

In fact, it started when Luna and the African wizard met by chance, but if you want to investigate the reason, it is still a mystery because they don't know the language.

If you have to use words to describe the situation at that time, I'm afraid you can only use the sentence "just because I saw you more in the crowd".

Yes, it was the next moment when Luna and the wizard crossed each other's eyes. After being a little stunned, the other party pulled out the strange wand hanging in the leather pocket around her waist.

Up to now, although things still haven't become clear, the atmosphere between the two sides is getting more and more tense.

However, for Hermione's proposal to let Luna leave first... Or decision, Luna didn't act accordingly. At this time, like in the past, she looked at the front in a trance and didn't know what she was thinking.

In the past two years, the number of times she was stunned when she was free was actually much less than when she first entered school. But now it seems that the reduction in the number of times does not mean that she has completely bid farewell to this inexplicable habit.

"Luna? Luna... Luna..."

Because she was still facing the shameless African wizard wordlessly, Hermione didn't dare to look back. But even if she didn't have eyes behind her head, she could clearly feel that Luna didn't move.

Just as Hermione whispered again, the crowd on both sides suddenly stirred again. Then, a familiar figure tried to get rid of the crowd, got into this small open space, and suddenly rushed to the two sides facing each other.

"He -"

The unexpected guest who suddenly broke in was naturally Harry who heard the sound not far away. After seeing Hermione, he was about to subconsciously shout her name, but he immediately found the strange male wizard opposite Hermione.

No, to be exact, I found the wand in the other party's hand.

Compared with Hermione, who is used to reasoning as the first coping option, Harry obviously has the style and spirit of Gryffindor college. So when he quickly perceived the threat, the wand that was still inserted inside his robe fell into his palm at the first time.

Just as a loaded gun is to Muggles, I believe there is nothing more stressful for a wizard than pairing the tips of a magic wand. Harry's presence not only did not ease the tense situation, but further exacerbated the conflict between the two sides.

The tip of the African wizard's wand shifted again, and Harry and his eyes suddenly collided.

If the line of sight is also a magic spell, I'm afraid it has already hit a brilliant spark.

At this time, Hermione can't know what Luna is thinking. All she knew was that if someone took out the wand again, the inexplicable dispute would immediately escalate to a real spell fight.

There is no doubt that we must find a way to end this situation - there are too many wizards in this temporarily formed market because of the competition. If something goes wrong, it will not be a small matter for one or two people.

But just then, Alexander's appearance interrupted Hermione's meditation again.

He came after Harry. Although he was not as old as Harry in the crowded crowd, he still tried very hard to appear in everyone's sight.

"What happened --"

As the number of people inserted increased one by one, the wizard of African magic finally couldn't help it.

As a result, Alexander, who had just come in from the crowd of onlookers outside, said half of his words. With a spell that Hogwarts had never taught, a gray fog suddenly gushed out from the top of the wizard's strange wand. The fog seemed light and fleeting, but in fact it was fast. It shrouded him all at once, and then spread rapidly.

Although I have never seen such a spell, anyone who has participated in R.A. training knows that keeping calm in the face of the unknown is one of the most important things.

Calm cooperation is undoubtedly the key to the synchronous spell casting practice advocated by R.A.

So Harry and Hermione looked at each other quite tacitly before the crowd even had time to make a riot. Now it's not just now. One more wand ready to cast a spell is one more chance to deal with the situation.

Both of them understand that it is an extravagant hope to solve the problem without any trouble.

After exchanging a look at each other, Harry immediately waved his wand, which had been waiting for a long time. A breeze suddenly grew from small to large and swept away quickly towards the fog in front of him.

This is a "whirlwind sweep" used to clean up dust and garbage, which was reasonably used by him. It can be seen from this point that some understanding and flexible application methods of various magic spells have been inherited to a certain extent through the magic spell analysis data originally distributed by Maka.

When the air successfully began to disperse the fog with Harry's guidance, Hermione, who had been staring at the scene, moved. But when she saw that the fog was stirred by the whirlwind and the body of the African wizard was slightly exposed, a red awn flashed past the tip of her wand.

It was another magic spell with silent spell skills. The red light belonging to the disarming spell crossed the short distance between the two sides in the blink of an eye and accurately fell to the point she aimed at.

There is no doubt that such high spell casting accuracy also comes from the repeated synchronous spell casting training. It can be seen that the training content of R.A. will be continuously proved in actual combat.

Unfortunately, Hermione knew that her disarming spell was blocked by the other party when a gorgeous red light burst open in the slightly thinner fog.

Naturally, the other party is not a wooden stake nailed to the ground. Even if there is not much moving space due to the limitation of terrain, it is inevitable to at least set a defensive magic spell for yourself.

In fact, the African wizard's intention to spread the fog may have been to prepare for the situation of one enemy against many

Of course, the situation at the scene is wordy, but in fact it is just what happened in a few seconds. After the two sides came and went, the crowd finally seemed to have recovered - the commotion was about to begin!

"Wait?"

No one will understand that the "wait" is a question, but it doesn't matter. Because when the pale gold suddenly flows to the middle of the three wands, the incantation light that was ready to go suddenly goes out quietly from the tips of both sides.

"Harry, Hermione..." that's Luna. "It's okay."

At this moment, Harry and Hermione were stunned. Because they didn't expect that Luna, who was still in a trance just now, would suddenly rush out and pestle in the most dangerous place.

"Lu -"

"It's okay."

Luna repeated again, interrupting Hermione's call.

Until now, Hermione was surprised to find that the African wizard standing on the other side of Luna had also dropped his strange wand. Although she couldn't see the real expression because of the colorful oil paint on each other's face, Hermione felt for no reason that the "shameless" African wizard should also be greatly relieved.

"What... What's going on?"

I'm afraid Harry's words have represented the voice of everyone present.
