Finally, Levin and Ciri each shouldered a longsword and defeated Hermione.
Levin turned around and said goodbye to Hermione in front of the roaring fireplace.
"Yes, remember to be careful and don't get hurt."
Hermione waved her hand with concern.
"Don't worry, Hermione, I won't leave you alone in your room."
Having said that, Levin poured Floo Powder into the fireplace, took a step forward, and disappeared into it.
Hermione was left alone in the living room, staring fixedly in the direction the boy had disappeared.
This was the first time the girl had felt so dissatisfied with her own powerlessness.
In the women's restroom during the Halloween before last, she had to hide to the side and watch the boy fight the troll alone;
Last time in the Forbidden Zone, she had to return with Ron to watch the boy go to fight Voldemort.
This time, she was left alone in the tower, watching the boy hunt the chimera.
Of course, unlike the previous two times,
This time he was not alone.
He also gained an accomplice, the violent, muscular woman, Cirihong.
But that person wasn't Hermione.
Does she have to rely on the boy forever and stay under his protection?
At that moment, Hermione made up her mind.
I have only known Levin Green for less than a year, yet I have witnessed him accomplish many miracles.
He was destined to be no ordinary person.
And what about yourself?
She also wanted to stand by his side, as a friend, as...someone more than that.
Therefore, she must work hard, both in combat and in her studies.
This is not just for personal satisfaction, but also so that I can fight alongside him in critical moments.
Levin was unaware of Miss Granger's thoughts after he left.
After reaching Cornwall via Floo Powder, he and Ciri rode broomsticks and flew toward the village of Dingworth.
Soaring through the air at top speed is indeed an exhilarating experience.
Nimbus 2001 has a very high speed limit, and the two of them arrived at Dingworth Village in less than two hours, where they could see the coastline in the distance.
Moss deposits rose from the deep green seawater, the sand turned a surprising white, and the magical serpentine rocks shimmered in the sunlight.
Looking into the distance, you can still see quite a few tourists coming and going on the beach.
To avoid trouble, the two landed a few hundred meters away, put away their brooms, and walked towards the coast.
Following the rocky path, Levin finally saw the coastline hidden behind the cliffs.
This mudflat is covered with rocks, with towering cliffs behind it, and atop the cliffs stands a church that is said to be from the 14th century.
How far are we from the cave?
"Ciri asked."
"Keep walking along the coast for about two or three hundred meters."
However, fate always seems to have a way of doing things unexpectedly.
Suddenly, the tourists on the beach ahead all started screaming and running around in a frenzy, as if they had all gone mad.
They were just enjoying the sun, sand, and waves a moment ago.
"What happened?"
Ciri cautiously drew her steel sword.
"Let's go and have a look."
After confirming that both of them had all their Buqian items, Levin also drew his arcane sword.
To conceal their identities, the two covered their faces with scarves and ran together toward the group of madmen.
As he got closer, he saw that above the crowd was a pink bird with wide-open eyes, cawing strangely.
"That's... the Wicked Witch Bird, and the Red Hat! They're the ones who did it!"
Levin immediately recognized the two creatures and made arrangements accordingly.
“Ciri, I’ll control these people. You go and shut that bird up.”
"understand!"
The harlequin is a bird native to Africa with exceptionally vibrant plumage. Its plumage can be orange, pink, lime green, or yellow.
This is a rather dangerous creature; its loud, chattering calls can drive anyone who hears them mad.
If we don't calm these Muggles down soon, they might end up being madmen for the rest of their lives.
But how can we get rid of the evil bird's influence in the shortest amount of time?
Levin immediately made up his mind.
"[Mind Blast] - One"
Levin stepped to the front of the crowd and unleashed his mental power.
Impacted by this violent mental force, all the "madmen" present instantly rolled their eyes back and then collapsed to the ground.
This is his method: violence for violence!
If you knock them out one by one, they won't hear the birds chirping anymore.
Fearing this wasn't enough, Levin gestured towards the beach in front of him.
"Hypnotic Patterns"
A huge and intricate pattern appeared on the beach, covering everyone present.
Several unlucky red hats, who had just been stunned by Levin's [Mind Blast], finally managed to get up and their eyes met the pattern on surface 637.
Then, several people wearing red hats were so captivated by the design that they all fell asleep on the ground.
Just as if it were a side effect, these few wicked little monsters were dealt with.
Just then, Ciri over there also finished her quest, bringing a wicked bird frozen solid by [Frostbolt] to Levin.
"Here you go, this is the guy you wanted."
Levin grabbed the wicked bird and cast a [Silent Spell] on it.
Only after confirming that it was no longer able to make a sound was it thawed.
Next, I began to connect with its mind using the power of the mind, and asked it questions using my ability to communicate with animals:
Where is your master?
Wicked bird + red hat
Two unrelated magical creatures appeared on a beach that was not their natural habitat.
Levin doesn't believe there wasn't a mastermind behind it all.
The Wicked Bird wasn't very intelligent, but it was enough to guide Levin.
Looking in that direction, Levin saw a towering reef.
"Okay, thank you, little one."
Levin stroked its feathers.
"If you'd like, you can wait for me here. I'll come back and settle you in after I've dealt with your old master."
After saying that, he and Ciri walked towards the reef.
Based on my mental perception, there was indeed a person behind the reef.
Chapter 88 A Prepared Battle
Hearing the footsteps of the two people, the person behind the reef remained motionless, seemingly pretending not to notice.
Is this just burying one's head in the sand?
It wasn't until the two reached the reef that Levin understood the reason.
After all that, it turns out this guy was wearing an invisibility cloak, thinking that no one could see him because of it.
Levin's mental powers, however, detected his figure through the invisibility cloak, but failed to detect the cloak's existence.
"Stop hiding!"
After examining the "reef" for a while, Ciri finally couldn't hold back and spoke first.
“We know you’re there. Tell me, wizard, why did you attack the Muggles on the beach?”
Seeing that he could no longer hide himself, the wizard suddenly lifted his invisibility cloak, revealing himself to be a middle-aged man wearing a face covering.
He didn't answer Ciri's question, but instead started hurling insults at the two of them:
"[Italian profanity], I knew you were Aurors! A few Muggles lured you out."
"If it weren't for that [Italian profanity] traitor... how could you have found where I was hiding!"
"Now that you've caught me, I'm not going to keep up the act anymore. I am a double smuggler for both the Great Yin Empire and Italy, codename: Salamander!"
“I smuggled the rune snake, and I also smuggled the Italian chimera. But now that you've caught me, I definitely can't take it with me, but you won't get away with this either!”
The two listened as this guy, who called himself "the fire lizard," launched into a long, uninformed rant, breaking down in his own thoughts.
Levin had a general idea of what was going on:
He likely saw them arrive on broomsticks, and the other party suspected they were Aurors, so they created chaos among the Muggles to attract the Aurors' attention.
After the outburst, "Salamander" abruptly pulled open a bag.
A huge and bizarre monster suddenly emerged from the bag.
