Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 113 Leading an honest man to evil

Lin Xia's eyes narrowed slightly. Is this the person behind the control of the town? He sensed that the magic power was too great a threat to it, so he tried every means to weaken the town's magic power?
Although magic is everywhere in the wizarding world, even in Muggle areas, magic exists. Otherwise, there would not be many little wizards born in Muggle families.

But if you want to form a gathering place, such as a village, a small town, etc., the magic concentration must be sufficient.

No one would want to explore a deserted place.

In addition to the magic power floating in the air, the town also has some methods to gather magic power. Common methods include planting magic plants, setting up magic circles, etc.

The former is the most common and conventional method and has been adopted by many towns, and Windmill Town is no exception.

Lin Xia immediately controlled the [Puppet Spider] and walked to the place where the magic plants were planted in Windmill Town.

Mia saw her action and asked, "Did you discover something?"

Lin Xia nodded.

"I found something, but I'm not sure. Let Spider go over and investigate."

"Zoom in quickly!" Lin Xia zoomed in on the spider display. The other wizards had finished their lunch and stopped going out to explore. They stayed in the warehouse to watch the [Puppet Spider].

"This is a planting area, right?" Rosen inspected this place and recognized it at a glance.

He said: "There are no people here. The magic plant has not been taken care of for a long time. It grows in a mess, but it has not withered."

However, the next second, the picture on the display screen surprised everyone.

no one?

It's obviously crowded, okay?

From the spider's perspective, it can be seen that many residents gathered in the magic plant garden. Those residents stretched out their hands without fear and pulled out the magic plants from the soil without using any protective tools or faster and more convenient eradication tools.

"This..." Rosen was speechless, "How could it become like this?"

Some of the magic plants were obviously poisonous, but the residents who rushed towards them didn't care.

Some magical plants would emit a shrill scream when they were pulled out. When they heard it through the display screen, the wizard couldn't help but want to cover his ears, but the residents remained unmoved and their expressions did not change.

Someone whispered: "Are they still human?"

Some residents were injured by the attacks of the magic plants. Even though their eyes and noses oozed blood, and their hands and legs were broken, they still persevered in removing the magic plants.

At this time, no wizard would think that these residents were trapped in the old cycle and were completely manipulated!
Mia asked keenly at this time: "Why did they want to remove the magic plant?"

The magic plants will not cause much harm to them, and no residents have paid attention to these magic plants in the past.

Lin Xia said at this time: "No one took care of the magic plant in the past. It cannot be used to make magic potions. Then it has only one function."

At this moment, everyone's minds suddenly flashed with inspiration, and they all remembered the most basic function of the magic plant -

Gather your magic!

Mia's eyes became sharp.

"We need to stop them. The strange objects or statues that control them are not suitable for magic, so they are trying to weaken the concentration of magic in this town, which is equivalent to indirectly weakening the power of the wizard."

"Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door. Mia went to open the door, and another team arrived!

Lin Xia was a little surprised. She saw an acquaintance in this team, that is Professor Basilda Babling.

Mia obviously also knew Professor Babling, and when she saw her, her expression clearly relaxed.

She and Professor Barbling hugged each other and said with a relaxed expression: "I didn't expect the Ministry of Magic to send you here."

Professor Babling smiled: "The Ministry of Magic has sent invitations to many high-level wizards. Other wizards are busy with other things. I happen to be free recently, so I saw this message relatively early and accepted it immediately."

She winked at Lin Xia and Draco, "I just got a bargain."

Mia's eyes flashed slightly and she said with some excitement: "So you think it's not difficult to solve the strange objects or statues in Windmill Town?"

Babuling said: "I felt a force after I entered Windmill Town. This force is still weak, but it has been gathering momentum silently. With the level of our team, it is difficult to participate in this clearing operation."

She also knows that it is not easy for a wizard to complete a task, and it is even more difficult to encounter a difficult task.

The team that came to support was led by Babuling, who didn't mind giving some benefits to her old friends.

"In this way, you can help us when we are clearing it. Remember to protect your own safety. We will not take your lives into consideration during the battle."

Mia immediately said: "No problem, we will never be a burden to you."

Mia's team was allowed to stay.

After Babuling learned about the situation, she immediately decided to prevent all the magic plants from being eradicated, and issued the first order in a hurry.

Before leaving, Babuling looked specifically at Lin Xia, Draco and Cedric.

As a student at Hogwarts, Cedric was retained even though he was good at transfiguration.

"You three wait here and don't run out. Windmill Town is in chaos right now. This warehouse is the only safe place."

The three students responded obediently.

After the wizard left, Nuoda's warehouse became empty. Cedric grabbed his hair and sighed.

"Why is Professor Babuling leading the team? I thought I could gain some insight this time and see how wizards deal with strange objects or statues." Lin Xia asked curiously: "Isn't Professor Babuling good?"

Cedric: "It's not bad, but among all the professors at Hogwarts, she is the most protective. Whenever she leads the team on a mission, the students only need to watch and do nothing. You are expected to be well behaved. Stay in one place, don’t run around.”

Draco couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that you, senior, have suffered greatly."

Cedric: "...Stop it. After I entered the senior year, I majored in magic arts as a minor. She led the team five out of ten times."

Lin Xia said: "Actually, I think this is pretty good. At least I'm safe around her."

Although they were left behind, they controlled the [Puppet Spider] to go together, so they could still see some scenes:
The wizard soon came to the magic plant garden and clashed with the outermost residents.

The newly arrived wizard team is indeed powerful. They can knock down five or six residents with just one spell.

The residents noticed something, turned around one after another, and rushed towards the wizard team one after another.

Then, three meters away from them, they fell like leeks one after another.

Cedric commented with great interest: "At this rate, the residents of the Magic Plantation Garden will be cleared away in a few minutes. All the magic spells they used will make them faint."

Just as he said this, the situation on the field changed again.

The residents who had been shot in the "fainting ground" got up again and charged towards the wizard again. The expressions on their faces were very calm, like humanoid puppets without emotions.

Cedric couldn't help but be stunned, "This... magic power only works on them for one minute? This is too short!"

Lin Xia: "Because the magic power in Windmill Town has been weakened. If it had been yesterday, it would not have had such a small effect."

The strategy of the person behind the scenes worked.

In addition, the wizard not only had to deal with the residents in the Magic Plant Garden, but the residents in other places seemed to have received some kind of instructions, and they all turned around and walked towards the Magic Plant Garden.

If you can look down from above, you will find that the residents of Windmill Town are all gathering at the same place, and that place is the Magic Plant Garden.

Cedric's expression became serious.

"If this situation continues, the situation will not be good. The wizard will adopt more harmful methods, perhaps regardless of the lives of the residents."

However, now that the residents have been manipulated like this, and the control period has only been a month, no one is sure whether the residents who have escaped the control will have a chance to wake up again.

Maybe they are no longer human beings, but puppets without vital signs.

As Cedric expected, just a few minutes later, the situation on the field changed again.

Wizards no longer use mild spells, but highly lethal spells. Of course, some wizards are unwilling to directly take the lives of residents.

Professor Babuling played the "upside down golden bell" to perfection. The magic spells fell one after another, and the residents were hung upside down one after another.

The residents' bodies struggled from side to side, trying to walk with their hands instead of their feet. They were so disoriented that they couldn't tell the direction, and they suddenly became a mess.

Other wizards saw that the "Upside Down Golden Bell" was useful and used this spell one after another.

But too many residents came later, and the wizard gradually lost his magic power.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and some residents actually took [magic bombs] and blew them up towards the wizard.

Seeing this scene, Cedric stood up suddenly and widened his eyes: "Wait a minute, residents can also use magic to create things now. Doesn't the person behind the scenes reject magic?"

Draco was also a little nervous.

Pure physical attacks are fine, magic is much more powerful than physical attacks after all, but if the residents also use magic, and magic fights magic, the situation becomes a bit complicated.

Lin Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, "The person behind the scenes has evolved."

Never understood magic, used magic, and wanted to eradicate magic.

Spurred by huge threats and intense crises, he turned to studying magic and tried to use the residents' original magic source to control magic.

The people behind the scenes are smart.

Lin Xia stood up. Even so, seeing that the wizard team led by Babuling did not show any panic at all, Lin Xia thought that they had other ways.

Perhaps, they deliberately made such a big noise to attract all the residents in the town to the Magic Plant Garden, and then caught them all.

Besides, the team led by Mia never joined the battle. As they watched from the sidelines, they were also a force.

Draco followed Lin Xia silently.

Cedric didn't notice it until the picture on the screen changed. He didn't react and turned around to look.

Hey, where are the people?

Cedric ran out quickly and quickly caught up with Lin Xia and Draco. He lowered his voice and said anxiously: "What are you doing? Go back quickly. It's very dangerous outside!"

Lin Xia nodded and said, "Senior, Draco and I have other things to do."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Cedric gritted his teeth and followed.
