Inside the arched room, rows of bottles and jars were placed on top of the cupboard. On top of the cupboard were some bandages and surgical tools. In the middle of the room was a large iron bed. The room was illuminated by magic light, making it seem like daytime. The light was soft, and everything was harmonious.
The only one who was not in harmony was the girl on the metal bed. Her arms and limbs were fastened to the bed frame by belts. She knocked on the bed frame and glared at the fairy. "What insurance? What aid? It's all fake!"
She heard the words of the two fairies outside.
Beside her, a fairy was applying ointment on Aglaia's swollen eyes. But she was so angry that the fairy could not do anything.
The fairy who applied the ointment put down the bottle and shrugged, "Who asked you guys to take the money from Gringotts? That's our gold. "
"Your gold? Don't you have any shame? That's obviously the gold that was deposited by the wizards! "
"The money that was deposited in the bank is your money? Who told you this principle, little girl? " The fairy sneered, "As long as we inflate it a little, your money will no longer be your money. Don't tell me that even muggles know this principle, but you don't. "
"You …!"
Aglaia could not catch her breath, the veins on her forehead popped out, "Do you guys wish for all the wizards to die? If all of them die, the funds they deposited in Gringotts will become dead accounts. You can count it however you want. "
"Dead? What's good about dying? If all of them die, who will create wealth, eh? Young. We fairies will not go barefoot to do business on the ship. "
The fairy smiled and raised a finger, "Wizards are still necessary. No matter who is in charge, you guys still need money. Only with money can you give birth to people. Then people will create wealth. Cutting off the wealth wave by wave is the way of the king. Didn't your family teach you this?"
Aglaia was so angry that she was about to ascend to heaven. She roared, "Aren't you afraid that I'll expose this matter?"
"Expose?" The fairy slapped its head, "Aiya, I'm sorry, I forgot."
It raised a slender finger and pointed at Aglaia's head, "I forgot …"
A dull thud interrupted the fairy's spellcasting.
It immediately looked outside the door vigilantly and remembered something. It seemed that since a minute ago, its two companions standing guard outside the door had not spoken.
It retracted its finger and stared outside for a moment before slowly turning to the door.
"Willy …? Kata …? "
It called out the names of its two companions, but no one answered. Walking to the door of the room, its expression changed. Its two companions had fainted on the ground, and each of them had a big bump on their heads. It seemed that someone had knocked their heads against each other.
The sprite immediately sensed that something was amiss and turned its head abruptly. But to his horror, he found that there was another person beside the girl's bed. It was the gray-haired young man who had originally locked them in the cage and planned to feed them to the dragon. He squatted by the bed, smiled, and untied the belt on the girl's wrists.
"You …!"
It shrieked and raised its arm.
However, the girl whose belt had been unbuckled picked up a thermos from the bedside table and smashed it on its head with a bang, forcing the goblin to swallow back the words it hadn't shouted out.
Then, she jumped up and pounced on the demon like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain. She punched the demon's head repeatedly.
She cursed as she hit.
"Vampire!"
"Maggot, damn it!"
"Give me back my medicine …!"
She was so angry that after a few hits, the fairy's long nose was broken in half, and it fainted on the ground.
Huo Fa hurriedly dragged the infuriated Aglaea and covered her mouth. He could understand her. After going around in such a big circle, not only did she not get anything, she was also cheated by these fairies. This kind of blow was not something an ordinary person could bear. But venting her anger now was too irrational.
"Let's go. If we don't go now, we won't be able to leave when the fairies here react."
Aglaia struggled violently, "Let go!"
"Calm down …"
"You have the right to talk to me?" Aglaia struggled relentlessly, her eyes red. "I'm not going anywhere. I want to get my medicine back."
Huo Fa pressed her against the wall. "You're crazy. It wasn't easy for us to escape. Do you want to get burned? "
Smack!
She pressed her palm on Hoffa's arm. "I'm not satisfied!"
"When we get back to London, report this to the Ministry of Magic. We can't deal with so many fairies." Hoffa shook her shoulder. "You're from that kind of family. Don't you understand this? Let your mother deal with it. It's enough. Go home. "
The two glared at each other for a while. The girl was like a deflated ball. Her body went limp and she leaned against the wall. She covered her face, the rabbit ears on her head drooping on her face.
"What the hell am I doing …" she muttered to herself.
Hoffa let go of his arm and stood aside, waiting quietly.
After waiting for about thirty seconds, Aglaea finally admitted the helpless reality. She rubbed her face and heaved a long sigh, before she nodded gloomily.
Hoffa sighed in relief. At least his companion didn't get carried away.
He took her arm and prepared to take her away. But at this moment, he felt a prickle on his back. He looked up and saw a long and narrow shadow quickly crawling over his head.
Aglaia followed Hoffa's gaze and saw nothing.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Hoffa lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. "Let's go."
.....
Now that she had decided to go back, Aglaea was in a better mood. While walking in the dark pathway with her companions, she mumbled, "You're so cruel. You've beaten me into a pig's head …"
Hoffa said, "Your family runs a hospital. This is nothing."
"Easy for you to say. What about this rabbit ear?"
"Cut it off when we get back." Hoffa casually said.
"Cut, I'll cut off your tongue first!"
Aglaia unhappily bumped Hoffa and said, "The next time I go out with you I'll be a dog."
.....
The journey out of the cave was much easier than expected. But along the way, those fairies seemed to have vanished without a trace.
It was an hour before sunset. The air was still and cool.
When the two of them reached the cave entrance, they saw two six meter tall mountain trolls standing at the entrance, looking around.
Afraid of being discovered by the fairies, Hoffa brought Aglaia into the shadows. But after slipping away from the mountain trolls, Hoffa discovered that the two fairies who were supposed to be riding on the mountain trolls' shoulders had disappeared. The two mountain trolls who were blindfolded couldn't see anything. They stood rooted to the ground like wooden blocks. Even when his Ghost Walk state disappeared, the two mountain trolls didn't react at all.
Walking past the mountain trolls, Hoffa saw the empty suspension bridge in front of him. The magicians who came and went were all gone.
The insurance seller, medicine seller, receptionist, food seller, they were all gone.
Aglaia stood beside Hoffa and looked around in confusion, "Where are those people?"
Hoffa shook his head, "I don't know."
He looked at the sky. At this moment, the atmosphere in Heiltsburg was extremely strange. Thick and heavy clouds occupied the sky. The setting sun could only take advantage of a small gap to emit streaks of crimson rays. It was like a fish swimming in the sea, occasionally rolling in golden scales. The rays shone on the surface of the stone wall, revealing a rusty color.
"Why did the world change so much after we entered the cave?"
Aglaia said as she walked up the suspension bridge. The two of them walked forward with creaking sounds. The crates around them were still the same, piled up like a small mountain. Only the people were gone.
When they reached the vicinity of a tent, Hoffa saw some messy scratches on the mountain wall, as if it was scratched by sharp claws.
This was something he didn't see before entering the Fairy Cave.
He touched the wall and didn't say a word.
The situation was too strange. He didn't even have the mood to pay attention to the system's exploration reward. He only wanted to leave this place quickly and end this strange journey.
Aglaia suddenly prodded him.
Hoffa asked, "What's wrong?"
Aglaia stretched out her finger and pointed at the entrance of a tent.
Looking down, it was the old goblin from Gringotts, Larfa. He was lying on the ground with a cross spread out. Beside him was a walking stick. It seemed like he fell down when he was running away in a panic.
Hoffa didn't expect this scene. He and Aglaia looked at each other and squatted down. He stretched out his hand.
The other party was still breathing, but it was very unstable. The eyeballs on its old face were rolled up. Its neck was swollen like a thyroid gland. Not only that, there were green pimples on the goblin's wrinkled face. They were popping out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One of the pimples suddenly exploded. The fishy smell of green water splashed out. Hoffa was shocked. He quickly covered his nose and retreated a few steps. He felt nauseous.
"What's this situation?" Hoffa asked Aglaia in shock.
"This is the White Egg Eye Poison." Aglaia's voice was heavy.
"White Egg Eye Poison?"
"White Egg Eye is a type of dragon in Australia. This type of dragon will use its fangs to anesthetize its prey before killing it. Those who are poisoned will grow green pimples. This is one of the sources of Dragon Pimples. "
"Dragon Poison? Australia? Isn't this Wales? "
Hoffa quickly opened the tent curtain and came to the open air of Heltzburg. His eyes widened and he sucked in a breath of cold air.
There were goblins and wizards on the ground. Everyone had fainted on the ground. Their faces were covered with green pimples and their necks were swollen. The air was filled with an oppressive silence.
A breeze blew by, rolling up a trampled piece of scrap paper and sticking it on Hoffa's face.
He tore the scrap paper off his face and felt that someone was looking at him.
He turned around abruptly and saw a large metal suitcase less than ten meters to his right. A man sat on the suitcase. He had black eyes and an ordinary appearance. He was wearing a gray robe that was nothing special. He was holding a swaying crow mask in his left hand. It was the man riding the dragon that he saw earlier.
His posture was so relaxed, yet so languid. It was almost like a family man sitting on the sofa after taking a shower. But the fainted goblins and wizards on the ground were so eye-catching.
"Hey." The man greeted him in a friendly manner.
Hoffa almost instinctively wanted to enter Ghost Walk, but when he reached out to pull Aglaia, he found that an invisible barrier separated him from his companions.
The girl outside anxiously hit the barrier, opening and closing her mouth, but she could not make a sound.
"What did you do?" Hoffa looked up and asked.
The man waved his hand and said, "Don't panic. I mean no harm. I just want to ask you something."
"What?"
"Here's the thing. I'm looking for a dragon, the strongest dragon in the world. Have you seen it?" the man asked with a smile.
Hoffa's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
Seeing his expression, the man showed a look of regret. "You haven't seen it? Is that so … That's strange. I clearly felt that it was nearby."
After saying that, he stood up and raised his hand. A silver-gray wand was thrown from his hand and landed in Hoffa's hand. He looked down and saw that it was Aglaia's lost wand.
He looked at the man in shock. The man put the crow mask on his right hand on his face and tilted his head.
"Oh, and Mr. Grindelwald asked me to bring you a message. He said that he wants to play a game with you. "
Huo Fa was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.
"He said that if you don't go to Germany to find him in a month, he will turn Hogwarts into today's Helzburg."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the iron box, and the layers of chains on the box broke. Then, the space distorted, and with a crack, he disappeared into the air with Mirage.
As soon as he left, the barrier separating him and Aglaia disappeared. Aglaia rushed in and grabbed Hoffa's arm. She said in horror, "Who was that? What happened?"
Hoffa did not speak. He was still in a daze from what he had just heard.
Aglaia looked at the huge iron box in front of her that had been opened, and a sense of extreme danger welled up in her heart. Without hesitation, she grabbed Hoffa's arm. With a few strides, she quickly dashed into the small alley that was piled up by the stacks of boxes.
"Roar!"
Less than two seconds after they disappeared, an ear-piercing roar came from behind them. The temperature in the air instantly rose by ten degrees! Hoffa felt a burning pain in his lungs and respiratory tract. He finally stopped being distracted and pushed Aglaia to the ground.
"Roar!!"
There was another angry roar, and he heard the ear-piercing sound of the iron sheet being torn.
The crumbling boxes around them suddenly collapsed, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the sky was filled with smoke and dust. The two people who had fallen to the ground got up and hurriedly ran to the top of the secret realm. They did not run far before there was the sound of wings flapping above their heads. The creature had caught up and landed heavily on a building that was more than ten meters above them.
They did not dare to move. They curled up their knees and hid between two abandoned iron boxes. They did not even dare to breathe.
The violent elemental power made the surrounding air seem to be boiling, and the scorching air almost made his lungs blister.
He turned his head slightly to look at his Magic Watch. There was less than 0.1X of magic power left, and the power in the Magic Crystal was almost exhausted. He had consumed too much magic power recently, so he could not use Ghost Walk without limit.
Two people and one dragon fell into a deathly silence. The only thing that broke the silence at this moment was the slow and rhythmic heartbeat, as well as the blazing breathing above their heads.
It was crawling.
A large part of the stone slabs and bricks at the top of the mountain had collapsed, and the faint rays of the setting sun shone through the cracks and gaps in the roof.
As the wood chips and stones fell, Hoffa stuffed the magic wand back into Aglaia's hands, pointed to the distance and gestured.
Aglaia nodded, and then, a duplicate illusion split from her body and ran in the other direction.
The fire dragon on the crumbling building above them took a few glances and found the escaping illusion, so it turned its head and spat out hot blue flames in the other direction.
It then jumped down from the box and flapped its wings to the place where the illusion disappeared.
"What was that?" Hoffa asked.
"Fireball Dragon, the fire dragon species with the highest temperature, why would it appear here?"
Fireball … Hoffa was stunned. Wasn't that the fire dragon of China? He did not feel excited at all, but rather terrified.
If he was facing a fireball, and the people on the ground were stunned by Eggwhite Eye, this meant that there was a second dragon here.
In fact, just like that night, there might be three, four, five … or even more … Damn it, does that man want to slaughter everyone here?
Aglaia pushed Hoffa, "What … should we do?"
Hoffa calmed himself down and looked at the top of the secret realm, where the orange sky was the only exit.
"I'll fly you out."
Hoffa whispered, "But I don't have enough magic power now, can you get me some recovery potions?"
"Where can I get them for you?"
Aglaia whispered, "Do you think this is a potions class?"
Hoffa exhaled and said slowly, "There should be some here, when I first came here, an insurance seller told me that buying insurance would give me potions."
"But that dragon …"
"Shh."
Hoffa covered her mouth, sat behind the box and looked back, and saw a sharp claw covered with fine scales slowly reaching out from the box. The claw was as big as an adult's upper body, sharp and hot, and the temperature it emitted distorted the air.
