The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 410
c397 wait and see
Before the cold dissipated, Ellie arrived at the entrance, hiding in the shadows. I saw the familiar figure from behind – Xing Ze was heading towards the fork on the left alone.
What is he doing? The eldest lady was filled with doubts. She wanted to catch up and ask, but she heard the light footsteps again.
Suddenly, she recalled Xing Ze’s encounter in Emberhead Village. He once mentioned a kind of invisible monster that would appear in the snake man’s cave to act as a guard.
Suddenly she understood what was going on. The time for the night vision spell has come. With her current eyesight, she cannot detect those monsters. It should be said that even with the night vision spell, it is difficult for her to see through the other party’s invisibility.
But she was certain that Xing Ze would not wander leisurely in the snake man’s lair stupidly, there must be those things behind him. As for why he appears here, let’s wait until he is rescued before asking.
After observing the situation for a while, Miss Wizard followed. She moved forward as quietly as possible, and waved the wand in her hand when she felt that she was almost close.
A simple magic light ball shot towards Xing Ze’s location, and the dazzling light made the invisible monster scream in pain. Now, even without any spell to enhance her vision, Ellie could clearly see that the distorted air formed a blurry and slender outline.
Xing Ze had never let her down. Before her next spell was cast, he had already taken action. He pounced on the nearest monster, and his right hand turned into a sharp blade and pierced the monster’s body fiercely. Another monster was hit by a bolt of lightning, and the powerful current instantly roasted it into a mummy.
Ali looked at the pile of corpses on the ground that exuded a burning stench, and couldn’t help but frown. She turned her gaze to Xing Ze and said, “You always bring surprises.”
Xing Ze stood up from the ground and replied: “Nice to meet you, Miss Nix.”
“Come on, Xing Ze. It’s just you and me, no outsiders.”
As soon as the eldest lady finished speaking, a noisy commotion came from afar. Xing Ze shrugged and said, “It seems that what you said may not be right.”
“What a shame you messed up my plans. Do you have the magic to get out?”
“Not at all.”
“Okay, I’ll apparate you out.”
To Ellie’s surprise, Xing Ze did not act. He stood there and said, “I…I…want to…”
“Merlin’s beard, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Why are you squirming like a little girl?”
“I have other plans, just go away.” After Xing Ze said that, he turned and headed deeper into the cave.
Damn it, is he completely crazy? The eldest lady couldn’t understand Xing Ze’s behavior at all. The restless voices were getting closer and closer, and she knew they were the ape-like creatures she had encountered before.
“Hey, wait.” The eldest lady followed immediately without thinking too much. Since she couldn’t take Xing Ze back, she had to figure out what was going on.
“If you want to die in a hurry, you should tell me why. At least I can give a speech at your funeral. I have already thought of the beginning, and it will be called ‘To the stupidest fool.'”
Xing Ze kept walking, but explained in his mouth: “The snake man in charge here knows something that I want to understand, and I can’t leave here yet.”
“So, are you planning to go find that wise snake man and ask for advice humbly?”
The eldest lady’s cynicism did not anger Xing Ze. On the contrary, a smile appeared on Xing Ze’s face. He smiled and said: “You can always remind me how stupid my decisions are. But this time, I have to go. I’m afraid of losing it.” There will never be another opportunity.”
“Not always.” Ai Li murmured in a low voice. Seeing Xing Ze going resolutely, she no longer said anything, but followed silently.
After walking for a while in the intricate passage, Xing Ze stopped and whispered: “You don’t need to follow me, Miss Shafiq.”
“Then you’d better give me some good reasons?” The eldest lady listened attentively, “Let’s talk while walking. Although those monsters are not fast, their numbers are not bad. Just like mice, I even doubt whether they are snake people. Really experimented with mice.”
“You are the only shareholder of the Round Table. If you are unfortunately killed, the Round Table will be destroyed.”
“That makes sense, but you are ignoring one issue. I am not taking care of my assets personally, so even if I die, there will not be a big problem with the Round Table’s funds. If the reason is not valid, think of another one. ”
Xing Ze let out a long sigh. He understood that as long as this stubborn noble lady decided to do something, it would be difficult to persuade her to come back.
“This is my private matter, my dear lady.”
Hearing this, Ellie was slightly stunned. A trace of disappointment flashed across her face, but then she objected nonchalantly: “You are still on duty now, so you are also my employee. After you earn back the money I invested, I couldn’t let you die like that before.”
“Damn it, I can’t convince you, can I?”
“Okay, don’t waste any more time. We should probably focus on the front.”
The eldest lady’s words made Xing Ze look forward. There were piles of bones and garbage on the edge of the passage not far away, and several ape-like creatures were huddled in the corner eating. They haven’t noticed the outsiders yet and are concentrating on rummaging through the garbage.
Ellie whispered the spell and cast a chameleon spell on Xing Ze. The sound of the spell attracted the ape creatures on the garbage pile. They looked here doubtfully, but the weak light of the lichen and the originally not very outstanding Vision prevented him from finding Xing Ze.
“Do you know the way?” Ellie walked to Xing Ze and asked in a low voice. They were now walking deeper into another fork in the road, and the increasingly complicated roads and the scattered bones on the ground seemed to indicate that they had walked into the nest of those apes.
Xing Ze shook his head. He didn’t know the structure here at all. He went deep into this place just to temporarily avoid those snake people. The commotion they created might attract the attention of those snake people.
“Damn it, Xing Ze. Why didn’t you say it earlier?” Ellie complained, “Are we going to wander around here like headless flies? To be honest, I was not killed by the snake people, but I was suffocated by the smell here. You’d better come up with a plan quickly.”
“Don’t worry, we need a guide.” Xing Ze replied, “I hope the commotion caused can attract some patrolling guards.”
Ellie has been accustomed to not entangled with Xing Ze’s words, as long as he can have a plan. As for how crazy this plan is, Xing Ze’s plan seems crazy anyway.
“So now, what should we prepare?”
“No, just sit back and wait.” Xing Ze replied, his body had merged with the surrounding environment under the effect of the Chameleon spell.
