When the high-level zombie-killing team led by Willie and the old housekeeper hurriedly arrived at the area where the explosion occurred, the other two wizard squadrons that had been fighting nearby had already met at the designated location to welcome their arrival.
This is a sandy forest park located north of Tilburg. It is said that it was the most famous magic forest in the Netherlands centuries ago, where two "evil" witches Ronce and Drense lived together for many years. At that time, residents in several surrounding villages knew this, so no one ever dared to approach this forest easily.
Probably because this ancient story has been passed down from generation to generation, whenever their children don't want to sleep at night, parents will scare their children with that gloomy story. Therefore, when this sandy forest was officially developed, it was natural to take the names of the two witches in the story and named it "De Loonse en Drunense duinen Forest Park".
Of course, in fact, this is just an ordinary forest. Maybe there were wizards living in it back then, but there certainly won't be any now. Because this forest has long been developed into a national park by Muggles. There is a horse farm, a large dog training paddock, and even a mountain track for bicycle racing running through it. If there are wizards who really like such a lively place, they might as well just go there. It would be nice to live in seclusion in a nearby Muggle town, wouldn't it
It's just that until today, a large strange green flame has replaced everything here.
"...Miss, Mr. Butler, we have just sent people in to investigate once - that kind of flame seems to have an extremely strong corrosive effect on the human body. Once contaminated, it will soon turn into blackened bones scattered on the ground. Currently, there are still No way has been found to put them out... so now we can't get in."
As soon as they got off the carriage, the leaders of the two squadrons who arrived first came over to report the situation here to Weili. However, although the two of them supplemented each other's explanations in detail, they could only sum it up in one sentence - I don't know because I can't get in.
But if combined with the information that Willie got from the "little mushroom man" before, it is not difficult to realize that this green flame must have appeared after the explosion.
During this period of about twenty minutes, what happened here? It's somewhat intriguing.
"In short, there should be one of our teams resting in this forest at the time of the explosion, and now... they are probably dead." The old housekeeper said while looking at the forest that had been mostly engulfed by green flames. .
"Um."
When Willy heard this, she nodded and frowned slightly. After all, someone dying is a sad thing. Even if she had made corresponding psychological preparations long before she decided to launch this war, she would inevitably feel a little sad every time she heard that there were casualties among her men. trembling.
However, no matter how unpleasant it is, there is always something that needs to be solved by someone. Once she started putting her mind to something, Willy never stopped thinking, and that was certainly the case now.
"I want to get closer and take a look..." Willy pursed her lips slightly and quickly said, "Also, are there any bones left behind from the burned companions? Where are they?"
"Miss-"
The old housekeeper subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Willy seemed to know what he was going to say and immediately raised her hand to interrupt him.
"Where?" She just looked at the two team leaders in front of her and asked again.
"Uh, here... But miss, please don't get too close to avoid... any accidents."
The bearded team leader among them spoke with a slight hesitation, glancing at the old housekeeper from time to time. Seeing that there was no further response from the other party, Willy and the old housekeeper were led towards the edge of the forest.
The green flame has no temperature, but as you get closer, you can smell a somewhat pungent rancid smell.
The remains of the several wizard team members who had gone to test before were still being burned in the persistent green flames and could not be taken out, so they were still left in the place where they died. Not long after, Willy arrived nearby and saw several ghastly withered bones scattered in the raging flames.
"Huh?" At first glance, Willy frowned again and looked over and said, "Won't the clothes be corroded?"
It can be seen that many of the skeletons are still wrapped and covered in several wizard robes, and those sets of robes all look complete, with almost no signs of damage.
The team leader on the side heard her question and replied respectfully:
"Yes, miss. However, although those green flames seem to have no effect on objects other than the human body, they can penetrate without any obstacles. Carotti from our team tried to wrap himself in a rock wool blanket and go in to search for the missing team members. , and it didn’t work out—you see, that’s her.”
Following the index finger of the leading wizard, she looked into the forest. Although her vision was somewhat poor due to the thick green flames, Willie quickly saw a shadow that fell next to a certain tree.
It can be seen that the witch named "Carotti", wrapped in a rock wool blanket commonly used in potion laboratories to prevent fire, poison and corrosion, even though she walked a little further than the other teammates, she failed in the end. Break through the obstruction of the strange green flame.
To be honest, there are many different kinds of flames in the wizarding world. For example, the flame reaction of copper-based agents that need to be used in alchemical experiments will usually appear blue-green. Another example is the Floo powder, which is now very common in the magic world, and will also ignite a similar green flame when used.
All known and unknown, because the formation of flame color has its own reasons, it is very difficult to classify it. It is even more difficult to explore the magical principle of the flame in front of you on the spot.
And just as Wei Li and others were contemplating, suddenly, another explosion suddenly sounded from the depths of the forest ahead, shocking everyone present.
"Miss, be careful!"
The first reaction of the old housekeeper and the two leading wizards was to hurriedly block Willy behind them. Seeing that the outer edge of the forest seemed not to be affected, they turned their attention to the direction of the explosion again.
"I'm fine."
Willie slightly pulled away from one of the team leaders, stretched her neck and looked over the heavy tree crowns and pale green flames, all the way to the sky above the forest.
"There... is someone there."
Yes, Willy was right - after receiving Willy's reminder, the old housekeeper and the others also looked into the air in the distance, and they saw several figures riding broomsticks that seemed to have just come from Flying in the woods.
It's a pity that those figures, without exception, all have more or less green flames on their bodies, and the situation is precarious!
