Chapter 497 Leslint: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

No. 4 Lint: With great power comes great responsibility

"Cedric?!" When he saw Cedric, Rice's pupils trembled.

Cedric now has too much of a life atmosphere.

He didn't wear a wizard robe, but a white vest and a pair of baggy shorts, and a straw hat on his head. He was sitting on a small stool at the moment, biting a watermelon split in half.

A talisman was pasted on the bottom of the watermelon, which seemed to have a cooling effect. Even in the midsummer, there was a hint of cool air coming out of the watermelon.

Looking at Cedric who was eating the watermelon and Yang Qingyue who was sitting opposite him and eating the watermelon together, Rice couldn't help but sigh that Cedric really followed the local customs.

Seeing Rice coming over, Yang Qingyue enthusiastically brought a small stool for him and gave him a slice of watermelon.

"Uh..." Rice wanted to refuse, but seeing that the two were eating sweetly, he joined them.

After taking a bite, the watermelon was indeed crisp and sweet.

The three of them finished the watermelons in their hands like a whirlwind, and then they started chatting.

"Have you finished talking to grandpa?" Yang Qingyue asked curiously.

Rice nodded and told him that he had got what he wanted. Cedric keenly felt from Rice's words that he was likely to return to England.

Sure enough, after a few words, Rice said he was leaving.

After that, Rice looked at Cedric and asked him if he wanted to go with him.

Cedric thought for a while, and finally declined Rice's kindness.

The scenery of Penglai and the other side of the river these days made him a little reluctant to leave, and he wanted to stay here for a while during the summer vacation.

As for the so-called invasion of the underworld, Cedric felt that he could handle it. Rice was right. The invasion of the underworld was a disaster for ordinary people, but for people like them, they were the disaster of the underworld.

...

While Rice and Cedric were staying on Penglai Fairy Island, the outside world had changed dramatically.

The news of the border being destroyed has spread to every corner of the underworld. I don't know how many undead are ready to move, and they have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

They are eager to return to the world of the living.

After a brief calm, the first undead bypassed the patrol of the underworld guards and crossed the fence, followed by the second and third...

Countless undead broke through the defense line and went to the living world, just like they did thousands of years ago.

The guards of the underworld wanted to stop them, but there were too many undead crossing the border, some of whom were extremely powerful, and some guards also chose to join the group of undead crossing the border. These reasons made the reorganized border of the underworld useless.

Muggles suddenly found that the times seemed to have changed suddenly.

The people around them either changed their temperament overnight or disappeared as a family. The surrounding security also began to deteriorate rapidly, and murders on the street often occurred.

There were even rumors that the criminals were possessed by monsters!

Panic was spreading rapidly.

Most Muggle governments showed amazing slowness and hypocrisy after encountering such changes. They all adopted the same rhetoric: the so-called supernatural events did not exist, and the current chaos was caused by the Albanian gangs.

The upheaval in Eastern Europe and the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet Union caused the security environment in Eastern Europe to deteriorate rapidly, among which the problem of Albania, the bunker country, was the most serious.

After the economic collapse, the Albanians turned their attention to the arms donated by brother countries. Then the Albanian gangs swept across the underground world of Europe - other gangs at most took out some Chicago typewriters, but the Albanians had armored vehicles and rocket launchers, and everyone's firepower was not at the same level at all.

The Muggle governments threw the pot on the Albanian gangs, and many people really believed it. But a few days later, the politicians' faces were swollen.

Mount Olympus was shrouded in a thunderbolt, and then a voice covering the entire Balkan Peninsula completely pierced the window paper.

Zeus and the gods of Olympus have returned.

Seven hours later, the Greek government announced that it would change its faith and revert to the Greek pantheon.

The whole world was shocked. The ancient legend returned to reality again, tearing apart the tranquility of the past in just a few hours. Now everyone knows the source of the chaos: the seal of the underworld is broken, and the dead are back again.

As for why the seal was broken, the Muggles also found the answer themselves - isn't it almost the millennium? Isn't it normal to have some unusual events?

When the ancient Greek gods just returned, the Muggles were just surprised, and even a little curious, because these are the gods in myths and legends.

It is said that it can bring countless benefits to people - stories of mortals offering sacrifices to gods and then gaining powerful powers often appear in ancient Greek myths.

Just when people were talking about the changes in Greece, the refugees who escaped from Greece gave them a blow and poured cold water on everyone.

The gods brought only endless disasters.

In order to regain their power, they launched a blood sacrifice without hesitation. The whole of Greece has become a hell on earth, and the same is true for other countries in the Balkan Peninsula.

The cruel gods forced a large number of Muggles to flee their homeland, and in contrast, a large number of undead began to invade the world from there.

The Greek gods showed amazing tolerance. As long as the undead verbally admitted that their faith was the Greek pantheon, they could land in their sphere of influence and restore their strength by harvesting human lives.

For a time, the entire Balkan Peninsula became a ghost den, and spread to the surrounding Apennine Peninsula and Asia Minor at a terrifying speed.

The returning undead chose the weakest link in the magic world to break through.

The magical thing is that Britain is generally in a calm state, and even the undead’s small fights are rare. After the returning undead realized that their birthplace was Britain, they chose to sneak away and run to the European continent.

The reason why they are so tactful and polite is simple: the four people who were famous even in the underworld back then, but none of them returned to the underworld...

Don’t say they have reincarnated! Saying this is really "lying to ghosts". Even they can resist the erosion of the reincarnation fog. With the strength of those four people, it is impossible for them not to be able to withstand it.

The fact that they did not appear in the underworld can only mean that they are still alive!

That's terrible.

They were the ruthless people who caused the Ragnarok and built the seal of the underworld. The undead were not crazy yet, so they naturally stayed as far away from the hometown of these four people as possible to avoid being caught by them when doing bad things.

After leaving Penglai, Rice knew about the changes on the earth.

He had expected this, but these things could not slow him down to return to Hogwarts.

After getting the Shenyou Taixu Pill from the nameless old man, his heart had already flown back to the Scottish Highlands.

As a wizard, Rice naturally did not need to take a plane or train to return like a Muggle - he took a plane before because he was very interested in this Muggle technology, and now that he has a full understanding of the plane, he naturally has no need to take it.

However, in choosing the way to return, Rice decided to refer to the formation used by Yang Qingyue before.

After outlining a magic circle on the ground in a proper manner, Rice walked into the formation, and his figure disappeared with a flash of light.

The next moment, he fell into the cold sea water.

For ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a disaster, but for Rice, it is not a big problem.

After floating from the water and floating on the sea, Rice began to identify the direction, and then he determined that he should be hundreds of kilometers away from the target position, and teleported himself to the Atlantic Ocean.

Fortunately, it is not far from the land, and Rice can even see the coastline with his naked eyes.

'I need to practice more.' Rice sighed in his heart. Although the error of a few percent does not seem to be a big deal at ordinary times, when the number is expanded to the level of ten thousand, the error is still extremely shocking.

The Scottish Highlands are nearly ten thousand kilometers away from Penglai Island. This "small error" directly caused Rice's position to deviate by hundreds of kilometers.

'Is it possible that Hogwarts's defensive magic is misleading my new teleportation magic? 'Rice thought about this problem seriously.

At this time, a plane flew over the sky above Rice's head. Rice felt something in his heart, looked up, and immediately found that the plane seemed to be in trouble-there were evil spirits running out of the underworld staring at it.

That fierce feeling, Rice could sense it from thousands of meters away.

"Poor passengers." Rice was not sad about the passengers' experience. He just wanted to go back to Hogwarts now.

"Huh?" Just as Rice was about to give up the new teleportation magic and use Apparition instead, he suddenly realized a problem he had overlooked.

The definition of "territory" in modern society seems to be different from theirs at that time. Not only land, but also the sky and the ocean are territories.

According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the maximum width of territorial waters shall not exceed 12 nautical miles, and the width of territorial waters stipulated by the United Kingdom is 3 nautical miles.

Rice made a rough estimate. If calculated in this way, the plane is still within the territory of the United Kingdom.

Considering that Dumbledore had promised to guarantee the safety of the United Kingdom, Rice felt that he should take action.

The evil spirit chose to make trouble in the United Kingdom to challenge Dumbledore's authority, and Dumbledore was the current headmaster of Hogwarts.

Is this a slap in Dumbledore's face? This is a refutation of Hogwarts' face!

Rice thought he was a person who abided by the rules, so he shook his body and rushed straight into the sky.

At the same time, the huge cabin of the Boeing 747 was silent, with only the roar of the aircraft engine.

The source that made everyone shut up was standing at the partition between the business class and the economy class, staring at the panicked crowd in the cabin with excitement.

It looked exactly like the evil spirit in the church sculpture, with pointed ears, bat wings, thin fingers, and fangs.

The evil spirit walked to the first row of seats in the economy class and showed a "kind" smile to the people there.

"Come on, give me a reason not to eat you - I count, there are ten people in total, so I will only eat seven, because seven is the most magical number!"

After hearing its words, the passengers showed a look of horror, and someone in the first row cried out.

It's not that no one tried to resist before, but those people were controlled by the evil spirit in a way beyond everyone's understanding. It didn't kill them, because simple killing could not please it.

Of course, a little punishment is necessary, so under its feet, there are several blood-red things wriggling, which is why all the passengers are silent.

The crying could not stop the evil spirit from moving, and even made it more excited. It looked at the three passengers on the far left, waiting for their answers.

"I, I'm getting married soon..."

"I have a family to support, and my son is only six months old."

"Please let me go, I'm willing to do anything!"

Some people stated their reasons, while others tried to bribe the evil spirit.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind the evil spirit.

"No one will die here today, demon."

A look of surprise flashed across the face of the evil spirit. It tried to turn around to see who had such courage, but before it turned around, it flew up and hit the wall at the end of the cabin heavily, leaving a dent on the wall.

Before its brain could even react, it was sucked back by a strong suction force, and then a strong hand grabbed its neck.

"Such a weak thing, dare to make trouble in the UK?" Rice's eyes were full of disdain.

The demon in front of him was not even as good as Voldemort without a domain. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic might be able to defeat it.

Why is such a weak creature qualified to enter the underworld? Rice was puzzled.

"I am the nineteenth demon under the seat of Abaddon, the Lord of Destruction... You can't kill me! My master will avenge me!" The evil spirit uttered a sentence with difficulty.

"Abaddon, the Lord of Destruction?" Rice heard a familiar name.

"Yes, one of the four masters of the underworld, the Lord of Destruction who symbolizes war and death! He is a great demon who has been in the underworld thousands of years ago!" Seeing that the tactic of introducing himself seemed to be effective, the evil spirit hurriedly began to introduce his master to the strong man who suddenly appeared.

Rice felt that a little memory deep in his mind was touched. He recalled it carefully and finally remembered who Abaddon was.

"It turned out to be the little bug that escaped a thousand years ago." Rice laughed and said, "How come a coward who escaped can also represent war and destruction?"

"Ah?" The evil spirit was stunned, and its brain couldn't even react to what the other party was saying.

Rice was too lazy to talk nonsense with it, and directly evaporated the blood in its body.

A light spot emerged from the evil spirit's mummy. This is the evil spirit's true body, and it tried to escape - as long as it escapes to the underworld, it will sooner or later be able to recover its strength in the underworld.

But Les was prepared, and with a roll of magic, the light spot was shattered into pieces and dissipated into the air.

The evil spirit was completely killed.

The passengers in the cabin were stunned.

It was not until this moment that they realized: Are they saved?
