Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 164: Changes in the Ship

Bourne was never a reckless man.

Or to be more precise, no Astartes warrior of any Chapter can be purely reckless.

——The Blood Angels in the state of blood thirst and black rage are indifferent to friend and foe, violent and tend to eat people, but they still know how to use tactics and understand orders, otherwise there would be no "blood drinkers", Sub-chambers such as the "Flesh Tearers" exist.

——Although the World Eaters do all have serious brain problems, since they were able to form an army during the Great Crusade, it means that their brains can at least complete a certain level of logistics management and weapon manufacturing (not to mention piloting spaceships, glands, etc.) Transformation) and other fine things.

Even if there are rumors that the World Eaters actually rely on stealing and plundering, think about it and you will know that it takes a lot of effort to sustain an Astartes Chapter for an interstellar expedition just by looting and stealing equipment from brother armies. How unrealistic?
Although Bourne doesn't have much experience in group battles, such battles involving dozens or hundreds of people happen to be his strengths.

As soon as those Berber wizards started the "board battle", Bourne instantly had nine ways to take down this group of people!
Nine kinds!

But the Hydra, a magical ship, didn't really believe in a little wizard like him.

"Nine more?"

The conch sound sounded, and the Hydra's tone at this time couldn't help but have a hint of unpleasantness.

"Why are you so arrogant? You have been studying at Hogwarts for a year. Didn't the current headmaster of Slytherin teach you?

Slytherin be classy and honest.

Or is it that the atmosphere in Slytherin House has become bad now, and it is actually aligning with the Gryffindor group? "

Bourne blinked.

After teaching the little wizard a few words, it didn't give Bourne a chance to refute, and just went about doing what it should do.

As a mature magic ship, the Hydra naturally has its own counterattack procedures. Even if the enemy attacks the ship, it will have corresponding plans.

"If I hadn't wasted some time in teaching this little wizard a lesson, I would have cleaned up those little gangsters long ago."
-
"Be smarter with your hands and feet!"

The leader of the group of Berber hired wizards signaled to his men. After receiving the signal from the first climbers, they immediately surfaced and began to climb the side of the ship.

As the seawater shook off their bodies, the gill-like cracks on their necks closed into white marks, and the webs on their hands and feet quickly faded.

Regarding how to adapt to and utilize the various strange effects brought by "Gillweed", compared to Harry Potter who only used this magical plant once in the Triwizard Tournament, these wild wizards who live in the Mediterranean every day Obviously more familiar.

In no more than ten seconds at most, this group of people climbed over the guardrail of the ship's side and occupied the empty deck of the Hydra in one fell swoop.

"Where's Ziad?"

The leader looked at everyone. Only one of the two men who came first was on the deck to meet him, and the other was missing.

"Ziyad went inside the cabin."

"It just hasn't come out yet."

"There was no movement inside the cabin."

The replies from several subordinates pieced together what happened. This situation made the experienced leader feel that something was wrong.

"Shall we attack in now?"

At this time, another subordinate asked.

This man held a harpoon in his hand and looked a little eager to try. His thoughts were actually the opinions of everyone present.

Anyway, the poisonous mist has been sent into the cabin. It is a toxin that even Manuel (the Manticore) cannot resist. The British wizard in the cabin should have lost the threat.

They believed that the reason Ziad hadn't come out yet was because the "Invisible Stretch Spell" was probably cast in the cabin.

British wizards who indulge in material comfort will cast this kind of spell even in tents sleeping in the wild. It is no exception to have this kind of spell on such a luxurious magic ship.

With the blessing of the "Traceless Stretch Spell", the space in the cabin must be very vast, so Ziad might not be able to find it if he goes in alone.

And if they go in together...

"Do not."

The leader rejected this opinion. Being cautious by nature, he was not prepared to let everyone follow Ziad's route into the cabin.

"We'll go straight to the deck," he said.

Then, the leader took out his hornbeam wand and recited a spell toward the deck of the Hydra.

"Deprimo!"

As his spell took effect, the ship's hull suddenly shook, and a strong explosion sounded from the deck, which was made of fine teak wood.

The Berber wizards also panicked for a while. Countless fragments flew out from the blasted hole and rolled in all directions. They had to flee in panic.

Fortunately no one was injured.

A stream of light green smoke spurted out from the hole and filled the air. This was the poisonous smoke that had been sent into the cabin before - but it should have been diluted a lot.

The hired wizards of the Berbers avoided the smoke-shrouded range in fear. They all recognized what this thing was, and no one wanted to put themselves in danger.

Seeing this scene, the leader quickly waved his magic wand, summoning a breeze to send the thin smoke out of the deck and far away to the shimmering sea surface.

A hole appeared in the deck.

However, the "House Collapse and Ground Sinking Curse" used to drill a hole seems to be a little different from usual.

The side effects are really weird.

There should have been a storage cabin below the deck, with some wine barrels stacked in it. But at this time, several of the wine barrels turned into goats during the spell, running around in panic on the lower deck; on the top deck, a section of railings was also affected by the spell, and those made of iron The railing turned into a stone railing; a mast stood on the bow of the deck, and a flag with a cauldron and a wand was hung on it. After being scratched by a piece of deck debris that shot out, the flag actually turned into a A thick liquid is slowly flowing down the mast...

"Everyone," the leader of the Berber hired wizards ordered: "Get your weapons and wands and cast a 'Phantom Slate Spell' on yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, a "goat" that was running around in the lower cabin actually jumped out of the hole by stepping on the collapsed wine barrel and arrived on the top deck.

"Bat-booger curse!" The leader wizard reacted the fastest and cast a spell on the goat that seemed to have been transformed by some accident.

Large clumps of mucus spurted out from the "goat's" nose, and then quickly transformed into bats with beards, wings and furry bodies, all of a sudden covering the "goat's" eyes, nose and mouth.

This instantly rendered him unable to see, breathe, or make any sounds.

Among the categories of spells, the "Bat-Booger Curse" is just a simple black magic, or poison spell. They are usually worse than curses, but they are not curses, and they are not black magic that is notorious.

When little wizards are playing tricks on each other, they will use some poisonous spells and curses. The "Bat-Booger Curse" is a very common prank spell.

However, although this spell is not very lethal to humans, the magic laws of the Ministry of Magic in many countries have relevant regulations: wizards are prohibited from using the "Bat-Booger Curse" on animals.

Few animals have hands as flexible as humans. In other words, ordinary animals are basically unable to pull away the big bats that are grabbing their noses, mouths and eyelids.

As a kind of poisonous curse, the bats created by the "Bat Spirit Nostril Curse" can actually exist for a long time. Once the animal is infected, it is very likely to be suffocated to death.

Of course, these Berber wizards who specialize in catching magical animals for a living don't care about this, and they don't have so many worries about using this kind of magic spell.

After all, they don't think about protection. Can't the fur, bones, and internal organs of dead magical animals be exchanged for gold galleons?

And when the leader used the "bat spirit booger curse" on the "goat", the "goat" was obviously greatly frightened. Coupled with the difficulty in breathing, it fell to the ground with stiff limbs on the spot.

Then, with a soft "pop" sound, the "goat" transformed back into a wine barrel.

However, it seemed that because of the poison spell, a huge crack was ripped out of the lid of the wine barrel, and all the liquid inside flowed out.

However, this liquid is not an ordinary drink.

It is egg white in color, slimy, and smells like rotten eggs.

This is actually made from the Leaky Cauldron Bar's extremely famous "Gamp Aged Whiskey" as the original liquid, plus lionfish bone powder, centipede juice, color-changing giant snail shell powder, diluted Acromantula venom and other ingredients, and is brewed together A kind of magic potion.

The name of this potion is "Petrochemical Preservative". As the name suggests, its function is to petrify and preserve certain things.

It is somewhat similar to the "formalin" used by Muggles, except that the "petrified preservative" used by wizards is generally used to preserve certain living magical animals.

When the "petrified preservative" flowed out from the gap and a trace of air flowed into the barrel, a harsh scratching sound suddenly came from the barrel.

Immediately afterwards, the wine barrel was broken from the inside by a lizard-like magical animal, and the latter also emerged from the wine barrel that had sealed it for nearly a hundred years.

This little monster looks like a monitor lizard with six legs, has a face like a stone crab, and has bright thorns on its body similar to a lion fish.

After breaking out of the barrel, it immediately pounced on a Berber hired wizard. While firmly hooking the man's clothes with its sharp claws, it kept flicking out its razor-like tongue and tugging at the man's turban. , seeming to want to stick his tongue into the man's hair.

Fortunately, this man cast the "Phantom Slate Curse" on his turban, otherwise, his scalp would probably be torn to pieces by this little monster.

"Why is there a sheep-eating beast here? Shouldn't this thing only live in North America?"

Among this group of Berber hired wizards, their leader was the most experienced and knowledgeable, so he was the quickest to recognize what this little monster was.

It is the Sheepeater, also known as the Chupacabra, a magical animal that lives in the Americas.

Because they particularly like to attack goats and sheep, they are called sheep-eaters.

Adult goat-eating beasts pose a 4X threat to wizards. They move very quickly and can easily tear the wizard's skin with their teeth and tongue, sucking the wizard's blood just like goats and sheep.

Although powerful wizards naturally have ways to tame the sheep-eating beast, they have no reason to do so:
First, their body materials have no special use, and it is simply not worthwhile to breed them on a large scale for profit.

Second, their personalities are violent and bad, which makes them more dangerous to little wizards. In addition, they are uglier than toads, so they are unlikely to be sold as pets;
Third, they only live in the deserts of North America, and their population is very small, so it is almost impossible for them to be exposed to Muggles and cause trouble.

Therefore, few wizards really understand this kind of magical animal that is "worthless", "bad in character", "too ugly" and "will not violate the "Secrecy Act"", let alone study it specifically. What's the "special attack" spell against the Sheepeater.

The one who attacked the unlucky wizard was a young sheep-eating beast, which was not as dangerous as an adult. Its favorite food was not sheep blood and sheep internal organs, but the hair on goats and sheep.

It had regarded the hair exposed under the wizard's hood as wool, and was now eager to eat to fill a stomach that had not been replenished with food in a hundred years.

Optimistically, if the young sheep-eating beast shaves the wizard's head, it will let the poor guy go.

And if the situation is not optimistic...

With a soft "chila" sound, the sheep-eating beast's tongue once again passed through the hood with the "Phantom Slate Charm" cast on it, and was once again blocked by the hood.

However, this time, when it retracted its tongue, it was slightly crooked and scratched the nape of the wizard's neck.

The razor-sharp tongue opened a finger-thick layer of flesh, and blood gurgled out from the back of the neck and poured into the wide, triangular muzzle of the sheep-eating beast.

Gulu...

The sheep-eating beast drank some human blood, and its big eyelid eyes blinked quickly, and it instantly felt the taste of this warm liquid.

"Chi chi chi..."

The sheep-eating beast, which had been starved for more than a hundred years, couldn't help but let out a series of roars like monkeys. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the wizard fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss, it quickly scurried across the deck on six legs, as if it wanted to find another "victim".

Fortunately, the leader of this group of Berber wizards once again demonstrated his magic skills. He quickly waved his wand, making a casting action like turning a door lock with a key. He pointed the hornbeam wand at the sheep-eating beast and released a very damaging blasting spell.

"Confringo!"

He roared, and a fireball the size of a fist shot out of the wand instantly, landing accurately on the dangerous creature scurrying around.

boom……

The fireball not only blew the sheep-eating beast away, but the shock wave of the explosion also tore its body apart, and the expanding flames caused more serious burns to it.

"Hurry up and give him essential oil and blood-replenishing potion." After killing the dangerous sheep-eating beast, the leader immediately ordered his subordinates to treat the injured immediately.

He was careless just now, which gave that guy an opportunity to take advantage of him. Now that he has been extremely careful, naturally he won't...

But as he took a step forward, he discovered that the teak wood decks were sinking, and his feet felt as if they had stepped into quicksand.
