The soil beneath the forest seemed a bit moist, and the dark brown soil was slippery to the touch, making it feel as if it was slipping under your feet. The rich forest roots are intertwined with each other underground. Together with the roots of the leyline eye that Weili had previously spawned, they seem to be densely woven into a large three-dimensional net, completely covering this area.
If ordinary Muggles wanted to dig holes here, they would probably encounter a lot of trouble in such an environment.
Fortunately, the wizard did not use a shovel to dig the hole, but a magic spell.
The Vanishing Spell is not a very easy magic, because it is based on transfiguration, and it must require considerable knowledge of the substance you want to "eliminate". Ever since it appeared in the OWL exam content, this is a medium-level spell that is enough for an ordinary wizard to learn in a lifetime.
Of course, if you just remove some sand, gravel, soil and tree roots, it is something that even students who have just passed the OWL can do. For these family wizards of the Blois family, it is obviously not a problem.
All right! It's just that today everyone obviously has to cast the disappearing spell many times - digging a hole from the edge of the forest to the depths is really not a short distance!
"Substitute people when you get tired, and everyone should keep up! Remember to use the reinforcement spell to harden the earth wall every time you pass a certain distance."
The old butler is no longer young, but he still does things neatly and neatly, showing his rich on-site command ability. Seeing the wizards from the two squadrons divided into multiple groups and advancing alternately in the increasingly long tunnel, Willy couldn't help but nod secretly.
No problem, the speed is not slow, we should be able to dig the hole where the survivors are hiding soon.
Unfortunately, things didn't seem to happen as smoothly as expected.
"Bang—"
Suddenly, a moderate vibration shook off some soil and gravel, causing many people, including Weili who was following the team, to become a little disgraced.
"What?"
Some people raised their heads subconsciously, but apart from roots and soil, there were only a large number of earth vein eye nodules left in front of them. Looking at those big, round eyes, everyone didn't know what to do for a moment.
"In short, there shouldn't be anything special underground," Willie stretched out her wand and touched the root of the Earth Vein Eye slightly, and said to the old housekeeper beside her, "I can 'see' the surrounding situation."
"That means..."
The old housekeeper thought for a moment, then raised his head together with Willy. Although they couldn't see it here, they could guess that a new battle might have started on the ground - Willy's previous caution was indeed not useless.
"Did that living corpse appear outside the forest again?" Willie said softly, "But this time, my father may not be able to completely let go and fight."
After all, many people are digging tunnels underground right now. If the fighting above is too intense, the tunnels may collapse. For this reason, Mr. Blois will certainly not make too much noise.
However, Willie's decision to insist that her father stay on the ground to deal with sudden battles was still the right choice. If they were replaced, even though they were large, they might not be able to handle the high-level zombie. Even if the siege narrowly wins, there will probably be many casualties afterwards, which is not a good ending.
It must be said that to fight against high-level living zombies, it is still too much to rely solely on the manpower that Willy has on hand. And now that the cursed bloodline has been completely removed, Willy can only be regarded as an ordinary wizard who is good at herbal medicine, right
"After all, it was a little too impulsive."
This sentence only flashed through Willy's mind, because it did not refer only to the current dilemma caused by encountering high-level living corpses, but to the story of her leading the Blois family to set foot in the Dutch disaster. The whole decision. Even though she didn't leave any backup plans, in the final analysis, it was still a bit too hasty.
No matter what, everyone is fighting with their own lives! Even if sacrifice is inevitable, even if fighting the enemy is definitely not a mistake, how to properly grasp the balance is always an ability that a leader must possess.
From this point of view, Willy knew that she probably still lacked something.
"continue!"
After thinking about it for a short time, Weili immediately asked everyone to continue the action of opening the tunnel. Listening to the old housekeeper shouting words such as "Don't stop what you are doing", Willie waited for a moment and found that the vibration like before did not appear again. She decided to go back to the ground to take a look.
"Miss-"
To be honest, after roughly confirming that another battle was probably starting on the ground, the old housekeeper knew that it would be safer to stay underground. Even if the tunnel might collapse, it would still not be a problem to protect only Weili.
"It's okay, I just went to check it out and will be back soon."
Willy waved her hand gently to the old housekeeper, then turned and walked back.
In fact, even if it was the situation on the ground, she could use the leyline eyes that were now ubiquitous in this area to peek out of the ground to check the situation. But unfortunately, the forest on the ground is currently filled with the vicious and strange green flames. Even if it cannot corrode the nodule's eyeballs, it has a great impact on the field of vision, which is a pity.
Of course, Willy was obviously not thinking about these things at this moment - she was just running back, reaching out and touching a small bottle in the inner pocket of her coat, her mood was a little complicated.
She was thinking that some time ago, Maka asked her to return to France and gave her a "secret mission" that would obviously take a long time. Does this mean that Maka didn't actually want her to return to this disaster? the most center.
And now, does what she is doing violate Maka's hidden good intentions
Yes, Maka did not say these things clearly once, and even expressed in the end that he did not want others to interfere and only hoped that Willy could control life by herself.
"So... is this the life I want?"
The tunnel was already very long, and at the end, the family wizard was no longer around. Willy unconsciously slowed down slightly and thought with some hesitation, and this was obviously not an easy question to figure out.
And perhaps it was precisely because there was no one else around and Willie, who was concentrating on her own thinking, seemed to have returned to the lonely silver-haired girl who was completely speechless and broke down when she spoke.
"It's always right to save people," she blinked and said softly, "It's also right to save the trapped people, and it's also right to save more people outside..."
Before she finished speaking, Willy came back to her senses and started running, but there seemed to be a firmer strength in her steps.
