Chapter 296 Is this Vide Grey?
The wizard, who was barely still conscious, turned and ran away in panic, but found that the elevator door could not be opened no matter what.
"Step aside!"
An irritable man yelled, pulled out his wand and pointed it at the door, "Thunder Explosion! Thunder Explosion!"
There was a loud bang, sparks flew, and the metal door twisted and deformed, but behind it... there was still thick metal.
Someone else tried to Apparate, but after spinning for a while, he fell down and was still in the same place.
"The Anti-Translocation Charm... The Anti-Translocation Charm has not been broken!" he said in despair.
A tall red-haired wizard rushed over, grabbed Gul by the collar and shook him vigorously: "Who is that guy behind you? Let us out! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Gul smiled mechanically: "As for the price, you can contact me privately. Of course, this is a rare treasure that only exists. If there are others who want it, then I..."
"What the hell!"
Although the red-haired wizard knew that he could not blame Gul who was controlled by others, he still couldn't control his temper and pushed him down.
Gul was stunned for a moment, then he sat up and said to the stone platform next to him: "This mission of exploring the ancient ruins is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to join...Okay, I can discuss it with others..."
Seeing his crazy appearance, some familiar people couldn't help but shed tears: "Why? Why would someone do such a cruel thing to us? I have never done anything bad!"
He cried for a while, then closed his eyes and fell down.
Alchemists are basically technicians who stay in their own laboratories for years and have very poor adaptability.
They wandered around like headless flies for a while before someone remembered to use the Friends Book to notify their friends outside to find a way to rescue them.
However... the words written on the parchment have disappeared, but no reply has been received.
Professor Murray, who was dragged to the corner by Wade, was already groggy. With trembling hands, he drank a bottle of potion and barely raised his head.
"Vader..." he said weakly.
"professor."
Wade half-knelt beside him, holding the professor's body with his hands.
"Have you contacted... Dumbledore..." Professor Murray asked intermittently.
"No." Wade said softly, "This room should be under the counter-curse of the association spell, and the message cannot be delivered."
“Really…” Professor Murray panted heavily twice and said with difficulty: “Find an opportunity…if you…have a way to escape…then escape…don’t…care about me…”
The old arm slipped from Wade's hand, Professor Murray closed his eyes, and his neck lost the strength to support it.
Wade laid him flat on the ground and checked his breathing anxiously.
As he expected, the old man's breathing remained steady.
Professor Murray may have thought he was going to die just now, but in fact, he was just knocked unconscious.
The statues were still spewing golden sparks, and bits of golden debris were splashing out like fairy wands.
When many wizards were running around excitedly, they had already brought these fragments to all places. However, when the golden fragments floated over to Wade, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
And if someone observes carefully enough, they will find that the first group of people who fell were those closest to the statue, and they had a lot of debris stuck on their skin.
When Wade activated his second vision, he discovered that there was something strange about these seemingly decorative debris - they contained magic power far exceeding that of magic fireworks, and it was a very strange power that he had never encountered before.
Vader was just thankful that he didn't like close contact with the crowd and had been standing on the edge from the beginning, so when the golden sparks first erupted, he didn't get any of them on his body.
But not many wizards can detect the problem in time like Wade, and can use the Shield Charm silently and for a long time. Many alchemists, including Professor Murray, carry alchemical items that can resist magical damage.
However, the golden fragments floated like dust, and even if they fell on the skin, they would not cause immediate harm. The weak magic power of each grain was not even as strong as that of a Bibi Multi-Flavor Bean, so they naturally would not "activate" the defense mechanism of the alchemical item.
Professor Murray fell into the trap because of this.
Wade thought about it, then moved to the side during the chaos, and seemed to be unconscious.
The people in the room fell one after another, until the last wizard who was struggling with the iron door fell down. After a long time, new rustling sounds were heard.
"Fainted—"
"They all fainted—"
"The plan was successful—"
"You may come in--you may come in--"
"Open the door—open the door—"
"Fool—the door is not bolted—and I needn't trouble myself now—"
The portraits on the wall were talking to each other, not like the afterimages left by wizards in the past on the canvas, but more like a group of chirping sparrows.
The statue that was spewing gold powder rotated and drilled into the ground. A buzzing sound was heard in the room again. Wind suddenly blew up and sucked away all the golden fragments floating in the air.
Wade quietly canceled the armor spell, and then, under the cover of his clothes, rubbed some of the crumbs stuck to Professor Murray's body onto his shirt.
The wind stopped, a portrait laughed and slid open silently, several masked people came out, followed by the girl who was sitting behind the counter.
"They all fell down." The girl stretched out her foot and kicked Gul who was sleeping soundly hugging the stone platform, and said disdainfully: "What a useless man! I was so disappointed that I put on a show in front of him for several days."
"Stop talking nonsense. The leader asked us to take all these alchemists back."
A sturdy man leaned over and picked up the thin old wizard Matthias. A man followed behind him, grabbed Matthias and dragged him out through the doorway.
The crowd dragged the alchemists away in an orderly manner, being careful not to let their bodies hit the wall.
Wade narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at it, feeling a little surprised.
It would be easier to use the levitation spell, but these people would rather sweat and tire themselves out than use an easier spell.
But to say they are Muggles... the Imperius Curse and those strange golden crumbs are not something Muggles would have.
The existence of this group of people... has never appeared in the original story, nor in the movie series...
No, maybe after he traveled through time, some new movies or TV series were released... After all, it's a super popular IP, so it's not impossible to adapt it again...
Wade thought to himself with a smile, suppressing the uncertainty in his heart.
Since the other party had no intention of hurting them immediately, Wade temporarily gave up the idea of jumping up to resist. He rubbed the golden crumbs on his shirt into his palm, and soon he felt dizzy.
Of course he wouldn't let himself fall asleep, but he couldn't pretend too much either.
After a while, footsteps stopped beside Wade.
"Are you sure?" he heard someone say, "This little boy is Weed Grey?"
