Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Zhan Lan went to the Madam Malkin's Robe Shop.

Zhu Wen and her friends went to Ollivander's Wand Shop.

These shops are also among the few in Diagon Alley that specialize in selling finished magical items.

Instead of those shady, overpriced raw material stores that nobody recognizes.

"Three of you, please purchase the magic..."

"Oh, look! I think this wizard has run into some trouble with his wand, hasn't he?"

As the doorbell jingled.

Zhu Wen, Cheng Xiao, and Chen Zilong all walked in.

According to their plan, they came to leave something behind and, incidentally, to gather some information.

However, sometimes minor accidents may occur.

Because to some extent, the Central Plains team is not without magicians.

There is and only one.

That's Zhu Wen, whom everyone considers a pure support character.

An old man with gray, curly hair and wearing a tattered magic robe emerged from behind the shelves.

He adjusted the old-fashioned glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Three of you, please purchase the magic..."

"Oh. Look, I think this wizard is having some trouble with his wand, isn't that right?"

The old magician spoke as he slowly walked out from behind the rows of bookshelves.

His gaze remained fixed on Zhu Wen.

Or rather, Zhu Wen's neck.

Upon hearing this, the three who had prepared their lines swallowed them back down.

Chen Zilong paused for a moment before following the man's gaze to the necklace around Zhu Wen's neck.

Adding to what was just said, how could one not understand?

They seem to have triggered a quest that wasn't exactly a hidden quest.

Zhu Wen and Chen Zilong exchanged a glance and stepped forward.

Zhu Wen directly removed the necklace from her neck.

There was a pink key on the table.

The old magician first put on a monocle from behind the counter, and then took out a magnifying glass with obvious magical fluctuations.

After staring at it for a while...

Only then did this person look up at Zhu Wen, the owner, and sized her up.

"Very rare, a wand in a sealed state."

"An unprecedented level of craftsmanship and magical construction."

"Beautiful lady, are you from another magic academy?"

Chen Zilong thought of the identities that the main god had assigned to them.

Nodding in agreement, he said directly:

"Yes, we are exchange students going to Hogwarts this year, and we just arrived in London yesterday."

As he spoke, he took out his admission notice and waved it around.

The old magician had an expression that said, "I knew it."

Then, as if acting casually, he asked a question:
"Do you know why wizards define the shape of stars as five-pointed stars?"

The reason it's described as feigning nonchalance is...

It was because Zhu Wen discovered that the shop owner, named Ollivander, had been staring at the five-pointed star on the key the entire time.

Zhu Wen covered Chen Zilong's mouth and then held down Cheng Xiao, who was eager to try.

That's when I started thinking.

He replied after a while:
"The five-pointed star pattern was discovered in nature worship rituals dating back to before Christ."

"In this natural ritual, the pentagram represents the feminine force in all things, namely the 'divine woman' or the goddess Venus, representing vitality and harmony with nature."

"As for why the stars in the sky are seen as pentagrams, it is not actually derived from the actual shape of celestial bodies, but rather from human imagination and expression of cosmic energy. In the magic system, it carries the function of linking natural forces with the spiritual world."

Upon hearing Zhu Wen's first words, Ollivander pulled a book from under his body and began to search through it.

He remained silent until Zhu Wen finished explaining her theory.

Another minute or so of silence passed.

"Found it. I can repair this wand. Come back in three days with the gold coins to pick it up."

After saying that, the old magician didn't even look at the expressions of the three of them.

He picked up the necklace that was on the table and slipped into a workbench behind him.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wen really wanted to say, "I didn't intend to fix it either."

And her wand doesn't seem to be broken, so why does it need to be repaired?

But she wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this, she immediately pulled Chen Zilong, who was about to speak, and led him outside.

After going out.

Cheng Xiao then smacked his lips.

"Things haven't turned out quite the way we expected."

"And it seems we don't have any gold coins either."

Chen Zilong chuckled:
"Just because it's not available now doesn't mean it won't be available later. Let's go, there's more than one wand shop. Let's check out the others."

Zhu Wen seemed thoughtful:
"Although I don't know anything about this wand that the main god exchanged for, and I don't know what needs to be repaired."

"But I have a feeling that my wand is about to undergo an epic upgrade."

"But the problem is, I redeemed Clow Cards, and my wand was enhanced. Does that have anything to do with the cards?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Zilong and Cheng Xiao exchanged bewildered glances.

Because neither of them knew the answer to that question.
-
The city of London.

This isn't the first time the Zhongzhou team has come.

In Xiao Honglu's eyes, Diagon Alley was a paradise on earth.

A world opened up by magic.

The only difference is that this place has stable exits and entrances, making it a perfect integration into the real world.

Two days later.

Battle Axe Bar.

It's in the same corner as last time.

This time, however, the four teams were seated in distinct sections.

The Japanese team had the fewest members, and the leader was the Japanese team captain whom they had met for the first time, a very burly man.

All we know is that the other party has a second-order gene lock, but their abilities are unknown.

Behind her were three men and one woman, making it the smallest of the four teams.

Aside from the team leader Honda, there's also the petite beauty Hashimoto; I've never seen the rest before.

It was at this moment that Li Xiao realized that among the people he had seen at their first meeting, only Hashimoto was from the Japanese team.

Arctic team.

Gunnir is the leader, possessing a third-tier gene lock and abilities that appear to be ice-based.

There were six people behind him.

As previously described, there are two melee fighters, two ranged fighters, one mental attacker, and one healer.

Of those whose names are known, only Maivis's ability is healing.

With a short-haired woman who appears to be a psychic.

Nanyanzhou Team.

Captain Neos, second-order gene lock, abilities unknown.

Behind him were the veterans, Luo Si, and Spider Arrow Heart.

Aya, a beautiful woman exuding elegance and intellect, is suspected to be a psychic.

Six people in total.

The team with the most members is Zhongzhou Team.

She was also the one who attracted the most attention at the scene.

The fourth-tier captain Zheng Zha, and a large number of veterans whose strength is unknown.

Said without politeness.

In terms of sheer numbers, the Zhongzhou team is equivalent to the two opposing teams combined.

Even Gunnil wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

He felt that even with all three of his teams combined, they might be able to match the Zhongzhou team. In fact, he wasn't the only one who felt this way.

Zheng Zha and Li Xiao thought so too.

Just in terms of the number of gene locks activated, the two felt that the other three teams combined didn't have as many as they did; they were stronger.

But when I think about all those different kinds of props in the God's Space...

All the ideas I had were eventually extinguished.

Similarly, after two days of secret observation, the other three teams also formed a basic understanding of the Zhongzhou team.

In short, it boils down to three words: follow the rules.

Gunnir could even say that the Central Continent team was the most disciplined team he had ever seen in the God Realm.

They are also the most powerful beings besides gods and demons.

On the first day, the three teams reached a consensus.

That is, the more a team follows the rules, the more it dislikes those who break the rules.

That's why the plan is proceeding smoothly now.

in the corner.

Gunnir clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and then spoke directly:
"I believe everyone has seen the information about Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Let's talk, everyone. If there are no problems, we'll get started in ten minutes."

"I have a question: what pretext will you use after you take action?"

There has to be a cause and effect, right?

"Although our goal is only the gold coins and the things in the vault."

A short man from the Japanese team asked the question.

Neos, the captain of the Nan Yanzhou team, looked over and sneered:
"It's just taking the blame, there are plenty of ready-made ones."

The captain of the Japanese team, Honda, looked up and said in a deep voice:
"You mean Voldemort?"

Neos looked at Zheng Zha and Gunnir.

Seeing that the two captains did not react, they continued.

"Of course, Voldemort gathered a group of dark wizards back then."

"Who said they died after Voldemort disappeared?"

"Those of us who know the plot know that they are all still alive and well."

"It would be most appropriate for them to take the blame for this."

After Neos finished speaking, all four teams present nodded in agreement with the plan.

After all, being reasonable and compliant with regulations will minimize disruption to the plot.

Gunnir then smiled and said:

"There is just one problem."

My question is, do any of you have abilities that resemble those of a dark sorcerer? Or any forms of expression of them?

"If we had one, things would be much easier from now on."

"We won't even need to shout slogans at that time."

Hear Gunnir's words.

The teams present exchanged glances.

Zheng Zha from the Zhongzhou team was the first to speak:
"If it's just a matter of appearance, our Zhongzhou team should have about three, no, four, decent offensive capabilities."

Neos stared directly at Gunnil, chewing on chocolate as he coldly said:

"No need to test us anymore, we have it too. You'll see it once the operation begins."

Honda, the player at the front of the Japanese team, also gave a stiff smile: "Don't worry, I have one too!"

Gunnir, his smile unchanged, breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

"So next..."

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The team leaders didn't even have time to exchange more than a few words.

Neos finished the chocolate in his hand and stood up immediately.

The rest of the Nan Yanzhou team stood up and headed towards the back door of the bar.

When only the Zhongzhou team remained, Chen Zilong, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask curiously:

"No, what about the action plan?"

What is the ABC plan?

"Why hasn't a single team mentioned this after waiting for so long?"

"How should we cooperate next?"

"How do we rob it?"

"Just charge in?"

Zhu Wen, who was standing next to him, chuckled and tapped the man's head with her long, lotus root-like wrist.

"Come on, even though I'm not smart, I know it's a miracle that four teams have managed to come together to form an alliance and haven't started fighting each other."

"You expect someone to come up with a plan? A solution?"

Even if it were true, who would dare to believe it?

"Who dares to carry it out?"

"It's better to just leave it like this, and isn't going all out a plan in itself?"

Zhan Lan, standing next to him, rubbed her head and nodded, "That makes perfect sense."

"The simplest and most suitable approach for this alliance right now is to charge in without any plan."

"Four Reincarnation Squads, with that kind of strength, let alone Gringotts Wizarding Bank."

"Think carefully about any horror movie forces or final bosses we've encountered or seen before."

Who among them can withstand the attack from nearly thirty seasoned veterans?

"With all those dazzling systems and special abilities, the enemy might not even get a chance to see them before they're gone."

"Moreover, this is only because the main god has blocked the weapons and tools related to future technology; otherwise, let alone the Gringotts Wizarding Bank branches, it would be impossible."

"I'm afraid our target should be the head office or Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"After all, the greater the risk, the greater the reward!"

Upon hearing Zhan Lan's words, Zheng Zha, Saito, and the others were all speechless.

After walking out of the stone wall and entering Diagon Alley.

Those who heard Zhan Lan's words and looked at the more than thirty people gathered together made clicking sounds.

Actually, it wasn't just the Zhongzhou team members.

The captains of the Arctic Continent, the Southern Flame Continent, and the Eastern Japan team were also expressing their amazement.

After all, this was their first time experiencing something like this.

Previously, the most teams could team up was two.

There are only about a dozen senior professionals in total.

They do some sneaky things.

Now, we have the right main quest, the right benefits, the right time, and the right place.

It can be said that it has all three advantages: favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships.

This has led to the unbelievable scene we see today.

Nearly thirty seasoned professionals gathered together openly and without any attempt at concealment.

Moreover, as Zhan Lan said, every senior member is team-oriented.

Even if someone proposes a plan or solution, they won't implement it.

Because we went straight to our goal, it only took five minutes.

The four teams had already arrived at the gates of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Just as Gunnir was about to say something, Zheng Zha suddenly spoke up:
"Everyone, if you don't mind, shall we clear the area first?"

"After all, there were just too many people around."

The three captains exchanged glances, nodded, and gestured for the others to proceed.

Zheng Zha immediately stopped hiding.

The vampire energy in his body began to boil, and hideous fleshy wings grew and extended from behind him.

Before the passersby who witnessed this scene could even scream,...

Black grains of sand appeared out of nowhere, centered on Zheng Zha's location.

It spread rapidly to both sides of the street.

The sand and gravel accumulated rapidly, eventually forming a swirling, solidified black desert. (End of Chapter)
