Chapter 395: Fierce Battle in the Forbidden Forest

Daphne pulled the cabinet door, but it didn't move. It seemed that Professor White had locked it with a spell.

"Hey, you--" Seeing that Daphne didn't listen to his advice, Cedric stood up immediately and tried to dissuade this overly curious little witch.

"Aren't you curious about what's in the cabinet?" Daphne asked back, "Maybe it has something to do with the secret that Professor White is going to discuss at the meeting!"

Cedric was silent for a moment, because he was really curious about what was in the cabinet, and this curiosity had been ignited for several days.

His patience had reached its limit, and he couldn't hold back after being provoked by Daphne.

Astoria wanted to stop her sister, but she glanced at Les and found that he was also "interested", so she gave up the idea.

It seems that Les is as curious about Professor White's "secret" as herself.

Since everyone wants to see what's in the cabinet, why stop her sister? Even if Professor White comes back later, it will be her sister who will be punished alone, Astoria thought rather sinisterly.

It can be seen that there is more than one "smart person" in the room. The little wizards who have developed a strong interest in the things in the cabinet all hope that Daphne will be the one to reveal the mystery.

Only Hermione still has a trace of rationality.

"This is not good..." She said hesitantly.

"Is there any prohibition in the school rules?" Rice asked her, and the little girl was speechless.

After Rice expressed her position, Daphne had no more scruples, and she suddenly realized the moment Rice opened her mouth: Professor White said that, but did not leave "an absolute prohibition of opening the cabinet", which means that she was hinting that they must open the cabinet!

Daphne felt that she saw through everything.

'A little witch as considerate as herself should be rewarded! ' Daphne praised herself happily in her heart.

Daphne not only thought about these things in her heart, but also said her thoughts.

Cedric, Hermione and Astoria fell silent, while Les was in shock.

‘Was it Legilimency, or someone used Polyjuice Potion? Where is the real Daphne? ’ A series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

But thinking of Daphne who hadn’t drunk anything for several hours, Les could only accept this reality: Daphne really guessed Helga’s thoughts.

No matter whether the path is tortuous, the destination is the same.

After the deathly silence, the little wizards present gradually began to assimilate, because after thinking carefully for a moment, they found that what Daphne said was actually quite credible?

Seeing that everyone acquiesced to her behavior, Daphne no longer hesitated and directly pulled out her wand.

“Alaho Open!” With a crisp click, the cabinet door bounced open.

Cedric was only half-believing Daphne’s words, but when he saw that the cabinet door could be opened with such a simple spell, he suddenly felt that what Daphne said might be true.

Everyone present, including Rice, stretched their necks to look inside the cabinet.

Then they saw a doll wearing a chain mail.

Seeing that Daphne finally opened the cabinet under his guidance, Rice secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Great, if it weren't for this girl, he would have to think of other ways, Daphne really helped him a lot.

Daphne, who was closest to the doll, saw it most clearly. She was so familiar with the chain mail that her abdomen ached the moment she saw it.

At this moment, the doll exposed to the air suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes.

In a short moment, the ordinary glass eyeball was covered by a layer of blood-red light, which looked extremely strange. Just looking at it would cause an unknown restlessness in the heart.

Rice stood up all of a sudden.

He rushed behind Daphne, grabbed her collar and threw her backwards. Before the other little wizards in the office could react, he yelled "Get down!"

Then there was a bang of heavy objects cutting through the air, a loud noise that shook the castle, and the sound of glass breaking. The office was in chaos.

When they came to their senses, they found that a huge sand ball almost flush with the ceiling suddenly appeared in Professor White's office.

The sand ball was emitting extremely strong magic fluctuations, but Les was nowhere to be seen.

"Les? Where are you?" Daphne shouted.

"Here." Les's slightly dull voice came from the sand ball.

"Great, I'll--" Daphne pulled out her wand directly, and a faint red light appeared on her other palm. She wanted to rescue Les trapped in the sand ball.

"Don't worry about me. Go after the puppet immediately. Don't let it escape from Hogwarts. This is very important! You can use any means, at any cost! It doesn't matter to me!"

"But--" Daphne wanted to say something else, but Rice in the sand ball asked her to act immediately.

Astoria was the first to react. She rushed to the window that was broken by the puppet in two steps. She found that the puppet had landed on the ground like a big bird and was running towards the Forbidden Forest.

"Go! I'll meet you guys after I finish this spell!" As Les urged her repeatedly, Astoria didn't hesitate and jumped out of the window.

Hermione followed closely behind, she also ran to the window, took a deep breath and jumped out.

Seeing that Hermione and her sister were moving, Daphne could only suppress her worries about Les and jumped out of the window like them.

Cedric: ? ? ?

He ran to the window quickly and found that they were flying in the air, approaching the fleeing puppet at a very fast speed. Seeing this, Cedric took a breath: How come these three people can use flying magic? !

Cedric's face flashed with embarrassment, because he seemed to be the only one present who couldn't use flying magic.

It seemed to be a side effect of the domain. Anyway, he was like being "stuck" to the ground and couldn't fly at all. Even if his magic control level was as smooth as flowing water, he still couldn't fly into the sky through flying magic.

"Ah..." After sighing, Cedric jumped straight down from the window.

However, the moment he touched the ground, the ground seemed to turn into liquid and let Cedric "sink" into it.

Cedric, with most of his body soaked in the ground, was like a swordfish, moving at a high speed towards the forbidden forest.

After all the little wizards present ran to chase the puppet, Rice stopped acting. His domain was running at full speed, allowing the moisture in the air to adhere to the surface of the sand, and soon eroded the sand completely, and he also got out of the sand ball.

"It's amazing." Looking at the wet sand condensed into blocks on the ground, Rice gave a heartfelt praise for the puppet transformed by Helga.

This sand ball binding magic alone can kill most wizards in seconds.

Wizards without domains will be trapped directly and be slaughtered, and wizards with domains will also take some time to break it-it can even hold themselves for three to five seconds, which is really an amazing control spell.

You know, after being trapped by the sand ball, the expansion of the domain is quite slow, while the wizards in the outside world will not be disturbed. This will gain several seconds of initiative, which is of strategic value.

Even if the owner of the puppet does not have a domain, these few seconds are enough for him to escape. With such a function, it is really the strongest puppet, and I didn't work in vain that night.

It's funny to say that this domain is more powerful when it is installed on the puppet than on the monk, who is not as good as the puppet.

Rice casually used a disappearing spell to clean up the wet sand on the ground, and then used a restoration spell to restore the messy office to its original state.

After doing all this, Rice walked to the window and watched the four people and one puppet chasing each other into the forbidden forest.

Now it's time for the children to perform, Rice thought so, and repaired the hole in the window.

…

“Many obstacles!”

“Thunder Explosion!”

“Petrify!”

Daphne and the other two flew at a low altitude while casting some simple spells at the puppet.

They didn’t want to destroy the puppet, but just to slow it down.

But the girls’ efforts were in vain, because several translucent shields appeared around the puppet, blocking all their attacks.

After sensing that someone was catching up, the blood-red light in the puppet’s eyes blazed, and a sword blade stretched out from its palm, burning with blazing flames.

“How many armor spells are loaded on it!” Hermione couldn’t help complaining after another of her spells was bounced away. “Also, if we keep doing this, we will all be expelled!”

“Rice said that we must do it at all costs. Anyway, we must get rid of this puppet today, and at the very least we have to drag it here until Rice comes.” Astoria ignored Hermione’s complaints and just responded to her fear of being expelled.

Since Les said so, they would rather be expelled than leave the doll in Hogwarts, at any cost.

Daphne did not join in the conversation between her sister and Hermione. She stared at the blade and the flames dancing on it, and a not-so-good memory came to her mind.

"Be careful!" After realizing what would happen next, Daphne immediately warned her two companions to be careful of the doll's aerial slash.

Daphne's reminder was very timely, because before she finished speaking, the flame on the long sword in the doll's hand peeled off the blade, forming a three-foot-long crescent-shaped flame.

The doll's hand shook, and the crescent-shaped flame flew towards Daphne and the others.

The flaming sword blade expanded rapidly in the air, and when it flew in front of Daphne and the other two, it was already more than ten feet long.

The three of them worked together to set up defensive magic in front of them, while falling to the ground to avoid the flaming blade.

Bang!

The fire blade hit the three people's defensive magic heavily, smashing the defensive magic into pieces, but the power of the fire blade was also exhausted by the triple spell, turning into scattered sparks.

At this time, a silver light flashed, and a dagger flew out of the sparks and went straight to Hermione.

While launching the air slash, the puppet also quietly threw out a hidden weapon. The purpose was to take advantage of the few people's mood to relax a little and give them a fierce killing move.

At this time, Hermione was in a state of stiffness with a change of movement, and the situation was extremely urgent.

Seeing this, Daphne and Astoria were about to use the defensive magic in their magic props to rescue Hermione, but a ball of mud suddenly flew up from the ground and hit the dagger accurately, knocking it out.

The three of them looked down and found that Cedric had also arrived.

"Thank you!" Although Hermione also had a trump card to save her life, she still thanked Cedric.

The crisis was resolved, but the puppet took advantage of the few seconds that the few people were delayed to run into the Forbidden Forest.

Cedric did not hesitate and directly controlled the mud to take himself to the Forbidden Forest. Before leaving, he also prepared a ball of mud for each of the three girls.

With them, everyone will run much faster in the forest.

Daphne and Astoria both stepped on the mud ball and let the mud wrap their feet. Hermione did not do this, but flew into the air for a distance.

"I will guide you in the air and provide support." Hermione's voice came from the sky.

Daphne and Astoria looked at each other and nodded, thinking that Hermione's idea was good.

The four of them started chasing the puppet in the Forbidden Forest.

The puppet found that it had made a wrong decision soon after it ran into the Forbidden Forest: the ground of the Forbidden Forest was full of tangled tree roots and shrubs, and it was difficult for it to speed up inside.

The thick trees became a natural cover for the young wizards, making its aerial slash ineffective.

Although Hermione, who was floating in the sky, was blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, she could still judge the approximate position of the puppet through the flow of magic power, and then use range attacks such as the explosion spell to contain it.

Under the interference of so many factors, the distance between Cedric and others and the puppet became shorter and shorter. A few minutes later, he even surpassed the puppet and ran in front of it by sneaking underground.

The puppet slashed a fire blade with his backhand, and then used the armor spell to block Hermione's magic from the sky. At this time, a figure appeared in front of it, raised his hand and "smashed to pieces", hitting the puppet that was caught off guard and failed to react, and knocked it out.

The person who rushed to the front of the puppet to attack it was naturally Cedric. After the attack, he did not hesitate at all, and directly controlled the soil to wrap the puppet that fell to the ground.

"Did it succeed?" Daphne also arrived. The girl held the magic wand in one hand, and the other hand was wrapped in a ball of red magma.

Cedric looked solemn and shook his head slowly-he felt the restlessness in the soil, and the puppet had a domain!
