"Bang—"
The surging seawater slapped heavily on the breakwater, splashing large areas of white foam. When this wave receded, the next wave had already hit. It started over and over again, becoming more and more intense, as if it was slapped on everyone's forehead, making everyone panic.
here we go! There is no doubt that as the sky grows dark, the battle on the English Channel has begun.
"They are so far away, but there is still a lot of movement. The battle on the scene is really unimaginable!" Lu Ping couldn't help but murmured as he looked towards the sea level in the distance.
"Yes," Kingsley, who was standing aside, pushed the hat on his head and said seriously, "so even if we want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, we must stay as far away from there as possible. —Lupin, you made the right decision."
After finishing his words, Lu Ping, who was still looking far away, finally withdrew his gaze and turned around. But after hearing Kingsley's words, he shook his head.
"Actually, it can't be said to be 'correct' - the next trip is still full of dangers after all. And this is just because we don't have many choices." He sighed with a slightly regretful expression. "And to be honest, the more this happens, the more worried I am about Harry's safety, because what we can do to help them is really limited."
"At least no one has given up, right?" Tonks rubbed her pink hair that had been split into dim parts due to recent busyness, pursed her lips and said, "Neither us nor Harry or the others have given up. !”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod, and their slightly tired faces became more determined.
Tonks was qualified to say this, because during this period, her efforts were seen by everyone.
As a new Auror, she was still a little immature, but she has grown up rapidly as she continued to take on various tasks. In order to make it easier to do things, she even shortened her shoulder-length hair, which she liked to play with the most in different colors. Now she looks much more capable.
A moment later, when an owl glided over from the southwest, Lu Ping, who had done his last mobilization on the pier, finally waved his hand and said seriously:
"That's almost it, let's get on the boat!"
"Isn't this a summons?" Kingsley couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"There is no more summons," Lupine answered Kingsley's question while greeting everyone to board the ship one by one. "The appearance of that owl is the signal for us to set off - Bill and I have already discussed that this operation is a powerful one." It is imperative that no matter what happens...even if the camp is attacked by zombies, we must set sail immediately. There is nothing more important than this."
As soon as he finished speaking, as the last person boarded the ship, Lupine pulled Kingsley on board with him. Being the last to go, he waved his wand and put away the pedals, and the small ship immediately left the dock and set sail towards the sea.
…
"But now, I have some good news to tell you." On the bow deck, Lu Ping looked at everyone and suddenly said, "Although this mission must be very difficult, fortunately, we still have trustworthy helpers - Some time ago, Sirius went to see Miss Blois for us, and after several contacts and recent negotiations, the Blois family has agreed to provide some assistance for our mission."
"Really?" When Tonks heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, "This is great!"
The strength and heritage of the Blois family in France is obvious to everyone. After experiencing the earlier blocking of the zombie wave, everyone is well aware of the outstanding fighting capabilities of those family wizards. Coupled with the trusting relationship between Wei Li and Maka, regardless of the other party's entire family and the powerful and serious head of the family, at least for Wei Li personally, everyone is still very willing to trust him.
"It's just a pity that Mr. Blois did not agree to come forward in the end." At the end, Lupine added with regret.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Kingsley reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "They've already helped us enough, haven't they?"
"yes!"
Lupine shrugged, and then continued:
"Anyway, the Blois family's ship will come from the Strait of Dover. According to the scheduled route, we should meet in the middle soon, and then go north together to land in Hastings... Okay, everything is fine now Let’s take a rest and refresh ourselves! In a short time, we probably won’t have the chance to relax again, and death will always be with us until we return from completing our mission... Hey, I hope we can come back alive!”
Although it is said that one must maintain enough confidence to actively complete this mission, to be honest, even Lu Ping himself does not have much confidence to escape unscathed. This trip is so dangerous.
This sea-going ship is really not big, but thanks to the magic spell to assist its navigation, it is quite stable in the increasingly rough waves. But as the sky gradually became gloomier from unknown time, everyone's mood was still unable to get rid of the heaviness.
"Britain must feel the same way today, right?" Tonks leaned on the mast and took a deep breath. The smell of salty sea water suddenly filled her mouth and nose, making her frown.
"It is said that it is different," Kingsley shook his head, "Alexander said that although the clouds there are very low and depressing, they actually do not seem to be real clouds, and the clouds that are hovering above our heads now are... It's obviously a real thundercloud - it's going to rain heavily!"
After hearing this, Tonks couldn't help but frown again and muttered in a low voice:
"I don't like getting wet in the rain."
The two of them were chatting wordlessly when they suddenly saw Lu Ping standing on the bow of the boat, who seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly raised his hand behind him and said:
"coming!"
As soon as his words broke through the strong wind, everyone on the deck saw a sudden flash of light in the distance. Immediately, a ball of brilliance suddenly exploded under the dense clouds, turning into a coat of arms pattern.
That is the crest of the Blois family. Everyone has seen it many times, so naturally they will not mistake it.
In an instant, whether they were chatting casually, playing wizard chess with their heads down, or taking a nap, everyone stood up in high spirits and ran towards the side of the ship where the signal was sent.
Not long after, they saw a ship on the other side of the waves, slowly heading in their direction.
"Get ready," Lu Ping said suddenly, "We may need to change ships."
