Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

-----------------

In the underground hall of the Ministry of Magic, the grand celebration is still going on, and now is the time for the awards ceremony.

The members of Sir Merlin's Order, dressed in gorgeous costumes, read out the names and achievements of outstanding wizards from various countries and regions nominated by the Wizengamot Council. These winners then walked under the spotlight one by one to greet their own glorious moment.

These are the same as in previous years, nothing special.

The only difference is that this year there are too many winners, especially the recipients of the Second and First Class Order of Merlin, almost as many as the total of the past ten years - and most of them were not present, which surprised the guests.

Few would refuse to receive such an honor in person, although the Merlin Band would provide them with a postal service.

After all, this is the only moment in many people's lives when they can become known to the public and truly become famous.

Outside the noisy auditorium, a brief meeting had just ended in the minister's office.

The old man raised his glass and said in a low and solemn tone: "Since we are dealing with a common crisis, let them come. I will arrange everything."

"This is the best news I have heard today, Mr. Liu Tao." Amelia smiled and raised her glass to greet him. "Albus will be very happy, and Lynn will be relieved."

The glass wine glasses touched lightly in mid-air, making a crisp sound.

"There is no reason for us to stay out of this. No one has any reason to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing - even someone like me who is out of touch with the times and is too old to lift a wand. Don't worry."

Liu Tao, whose drinking capacity is still the same as before, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and his brows revealed a sharpness that had been dormant for decades.

"As for Sir Merlin's Order...even if he is a god, he is not our god. I don't believe in that. If there is anything you need my help investigating, just let me know."

Chapter 593: Echoes of the Cambrian Period

"Chief, although it's a bit inappropriate to say this here, I still want to say it - there is no doubt that this is Gondwana. Our previous conclusions about the source of life and the origin of civilization are about to be overturned. This is a moment to make history."

Standing in the wooded valley, Exum, who had returned from Siberia specially and was wearing a wizard robe, was extremely excited.

Based on the data found in Siberia, the initial conjecture gradually became an increasingly clear reality.

Standing on this land and looking at the bottomless crack in the distance, he could almost determine the source of these monsters buried deep underground - the Cambrian period, the era when life theoretically first exploded.

Lin En understood the feelings of his scientist friend very well. He patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "You will definitely create more history after we solve these troubles. But now, you have to step back. I will arrange for someone to protect you and your team. This is an occasion for wizards, right?"

“I don’t intend to steal the limelight, Chief,” Exum said with a smile, “but I don’t want to cause trouble for everyone either. Just leave a few of your puppets for us.”

"Is that enough?" Lynn raised an eyebrow.

"If there is real danger, no amount will be enough. If there is no danger, no amount will be enough. Remember to pick me up after you are done. I want to study the geological structure there carefully."

"You see things clearly... Well, I'll leave you a set of dolls. If anything goes wrong, I'll come back."

This is reasonable, and Lynn can't find any fault with it.

Without wasting time on these trivial matters, he arranged everything and walked to the crack leading to the depths of the ground that had been opened by magic for who knows how many times. Looking at Euphemia squatting there, he whispered, "Hasn't reached the bottom yet?"

"Not yet. This time it seems to be deeper, but the detector has already sensed the intensification and vibration of the magic power. There must be a monster awakened below. The two of us will lead the way, followed by Brian and the others, and finally let everyone follow the screen to Apparate over."

Euphemia spoke without raising her head, her tone soft and without any emotion.

Brian, who was standing by, was quite excited. He clenched his fists and said loudly, "Leave it to us, there will be no problem!"

"Save your energy, Brian." Lynn smiled, looking relaxed. "This is only the first stop. Even Fei and I can't say how efficient we can be. In the end, it still depends on everyone's joint efforts. It's a pity that Barty can't come over. He will complain about me again."

Brian, who was straightforward, laughed and said, "It's not a bad thing for us if he doesn't come. No one will compete with me and Sonya - huh?"

A clear picture appeared on the screen, which was exactly the scene in the underground crack.

Another bloody and cruel purgatory.

However, compared to the vast Black Lake below, the space here is much smaller, with no way to retreat, and the fighting is therefore even more brutal.

"It looks like a fairly evenly matched scene. There are quite a few big guys." Lin En no longer had the mood to joke, and while speaking he observed the monsters inside one by one.

Although there is no giant beast like Eusebia, there are only three guys with a physique similar to Rice in the camera, and there are some slightly smaller individuals around. At a rough glance, the total number is definitely not less than the nest of the Icelandic volcano.

"F...Oh, I almost forgot, he's over there."

Lynn, who subconsciously wanted to call the Longbottom couple, then remembered the previously planned division of personnel. He scratched his head and looked at Brian, who was not very satisfied, and Regulus and others who came forward.

Euphemia also stood up and moved her wrists and ankles, which were a little stiff from the long walk.

"Victor, the two of us will go down first. You wait until the monsters are no longer visible on the screen before going down. Then the others will follow. Regulus and Alex will be in charge of finishing up, and we will leave last. Any problem?"

Euphemia looked around and saw that they were all old friends who had been together for many years and had a tacit understanding.

Only Regulus seemed slightly displeased.

He also wanted to take the lead, but his tacit understanding was not as good as that of the Brian quartet who had worked together for many years, so he could only finish behind.

Lin En saw his mood, leaned forward, and whispered in his ear: "I'm leaving the students to you. Take good care of them. You need to give them some experience, but don't be too aggressive. I can only feel at ease if you take charge of this personally."

“You bastard.” Regulus laughed dumbly, slapped Lin En’s back twice in revenge, and said unhappily, “I know you two are singing the same tune, but you can’t say anything even if it makes me unhappy. Get down now!”

Lin En laughed and said no more. He held his girlfriend's hand and exerted a little force. His magic power surged and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight like a shadow. When he appeared again, he started killing people underground without any explanation.

"It's so enviable. I wish I could learn his magic. It's better than Apparition." Alex spread his hands, his words full of envy.

"You?" Amanda curled her lips in disdain, then pretended to be sympathetic and sighed, "Fatty, listen to our advice and don't think about such unrealistic things."

"Hey, you guy!"

"Am I wrong?"

"I……"

"Alright! There are so many people here." Victor couldn't stand it anymore and his face darkened. "Isn't it enough for you two to chat in private?"

"How can we--"

Amanda subconsciously wanted to refute, but stopped herself when she saw Victor's expressionless gaze.

Victor glanced at the stargazers who were resting and on standby near or far away, and felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

These fifty carefully selected people, the oldest is only in his thirties or forties, and the youngest is just an adult. They are not only the most elite force that Stargazer can mobilize, but also the future of the entire organization, and he cannot afford to be careless.

The vial of elixir in his palm was wet with sweat, and he put it back into the secret compartment of his robe.

It probably won't be used. He thought to himself and waved his hand:

"set off!"

......

The valley filled with primitive atmosphere soon fell silent. Only Exum and his research team were left with nothing to do, sitting around the screen set up by Euphemia, watching the battle.

A group of six alchemical dolls were scattered around, looking around with flashing red eyes. The aura of technology and magic were cleverly intertwined without contradicting each other.

Just looking at their tall and upright silver-white bodies is enough to give people a great sense of security.

At least that's the case for Exum.

Looking at the almost one-sided massacre on the screen, he, who was already accustomed to Lin En's style of doing things, did not shout excitedly like his assistant, but lit a cigarette and puffed leisurely.

He recalled the scene ten years ago when he first learned about the existence of such an unscientific thing as magic.

He is no longer the archaeologist who was scared by a fire dragon in New Zealand.

Not only is it not surprising, but there is also the ambition to explore the end of science with the help of magic as a magical ladder.

He believed 100% that there was an omnipotent chief, and that sooner or later the mysteries of the Cambrian period and those deeper and more secretive unknown mistakes would reveal their true colors.

Thinking of this, he raised his free left hand and touched the alchemy doll standing next to him.

It is this cold and tough big guy who is fighting with monsters from hundreds of millions of years ago and winning.

This is a triumph of human wisdom.

Chapter 594 Young Stargazer

The dark monsters came like waves, endlessly.

The white doll is like a dam, indestructible.

After a brief melee, the Stargazers formed a formation, centered around Brian and his four companions who were the first to gain a foothold, and stabilized the situation and launched a counterattack.

The flying spells blew into pieces the monsters that were fearless of death or simply had the instinct to kill.

The flying floaters and metal runes are like an ultimate insurmountable barrier, pushing the power of fire, water and ice to the extreme.

Death and time together compose the music of destruction. No matter how many monsters there are, they are just a rolling and climbing number.

"Sed, two on the left, broken legs! Boyce, watch out for the one on the side, Doris, hit the head! Sulisaz!"

"understand!"

On the battlefield where chaos and order intertwined, Pavla's voice was soft but powerful. She became the center of the team, replacing Cedric's position.

Although she was not good at fighting, she memorized all the information and weaknesses about the monsters and recited them by heart after countless rehearsals.

Now that she had entered actual combat, she had found her own position and liberated Cedric's powerful fighting power, integrating this four-person combat team, which was still relatively immature compared to other stargazers, into a seamless whole.

Apart from the extremely pungent smell, everything seemed as if it had been practiced countless times in the gap between time and space. Even these monsters of varying quality were not as good as the illusion created by Lin En.

Cedric was the pioneer, Boyce was the cover, Doris was the final decision, and with her coordination and support, there was a bit of the shadow of Bryan's foursome.

The occasional fish that managed to tear a gap in the puppet line were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of them. They had adapted to the rhythm and were even more efficient than the seniors around them.

But they are still not the most prominent.

On adjacent battlefields just tens of meters apart, Bill and Furong also demonstrated their superior talent and efficiency.

Also without controlling the alchemical puppet, Furong, who was good at creation, adopted defense instead of attack, and the sharp Thor's hammer moved in all directions. Bill kept a low profile, and the dark magic quietly penetrated under the cover of dim light, corroding the unaware monsters silently.

Although they don't have as sophisticated coordination as the team next door, their tacit understanding and complementarity are enough to make up for the lack of numbers.

Such an amazing performance was incredible even to Regulus, who was ordered to protect them secretly.

Although it is not yet a real mainstay, its initial potential is enough to attract attention.

At least compared to the level he had previously demonstrated in tournaments and daily training, the young men on the battlefield not only did not decline, but made further progress.

This is an extremely rare talent and potential.

"No wonder these two guys think so highly of them..." He muttered softly, with a smile on his lips. His slender magic wand continuously shot out tricky beams of light, driving the monsters that might pose a threat towards Brian and his companions.

What will happen in the future is a matter for the future. At least for now, the real main force of stargazers are still the "old generation" like them. As for the bitter fact that they feel the new generation replacing the old one in their thirties, that is another topic.

The glow of the World Tree illuminated the cave and also illuminated the real killing machine on the battlefield.

......

The blazing Rune Fire entangled giant monsters of various shapes, like lighting five torches.

"Though these guys are good, they're still a little off. Do you want to feed them? I suspect the Philosopher's Stones produced in this state will be defective. Nico won't be happy."

Euphemia asked calmly, easily suppressing several opponents who might have been regarded as great enemies in the past.

"I think it's worth considering." Lin En was looking at the main battlefield in the distance leisurely, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "You decide, I'm going to enjoy their performance."

"It's not like you don't know their level. Is there anything you need to look at carefully? Nito!"

The towering beast crashed to the ground under the entanglement of Rune, and its huge body stirred up countless pieces of rubble.

Clear magic emanated from the crown, adding a bit of agility to the already strange magic. Suddenly, it was as if Rowena herself had arrived on the battlefield.

"Knowing is one thing, but it's not the same as observing on the spot. Especially for Andrew, in my opinion, his predictive ability has become stronger and more useful. Talent is really a good thing."

Lynn, oblivious to the battle behind him, looked ahead with interest without even turning his head.

Brian's Auror team was fighting around the group of four at this time. Although there was no Brian as a leader, their offense and defense were very organized.

Andrew, who joined not long ago, integrated perfectly. His eyes, which once seemed a little gloomy, were now ethereal and clear. He even appeared faintly in the center of the team, more experienced than many stargazers and Aurors with rich practical experience.

Although she is not as gifted and invincible as Doris and Cedric, it is still worth looking forward to in time.

The only thing that makes people feel vaguely worried is——

"Victor, Sonia, cover! Thunderbolt explosion!"

Brian, with his rough and bold voice like a loudspeaker on the battlefield, led the way and displayed the toughness and ferocity of the battle to the fullest.

Relying on Purple Shank Rune's extraordinary defensive ability and the desperate protection of his companions behind him, he almost only attacked and did not defend. With his weapons left and right, he blew more than a dozen monsters that were much larger than ordinary monsters into pieces.

Sometimes even Sonia and her Transfiguration puppets couldn't catch up with this hot-blooded guy, and he could only rely on Victor and Amanda to pull him hard to keep his balance.
