Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 557 557. The war on the swamp
The boat galloped, and more and more green knights gathered on the water.

Because Edgar was manipulating the flames, the green knights didn't dare to get close.

They just maintained the posture of riding horses, forming a huge encirclement from a distance, and followed the boat.

Although far away, these green knights did not stop attacking.

After continuing to attack the bottom of the ship to no avail, they chose to manipulate the water flow on the water surface to attack remotely.

In their hands, the water either changes into a spear and throws it, or turns into a long whip.

Although these attacks were frequent, they couldn't completely trouble the passengers on the small boat. They were either vaporized by Edgar's flames, or blocked by Sirene's manipulation of the water flow.

The speed of the boat did not slow down, and Scott and Savannah never made a move.

Seeing that the attack was still ineffective, after a while, the green knights' attack slowed down and finally stopped.

But they never left, they still maintained the encirclement, manipulating the horses formed by the converging water to run.

"This is a rare scene."

Scott was sitting on the boat, holding the [Magic Mirror] to check the video just shot——

The green swamp stretches as far as the eye can see, and the mirror-like water reflects the blue sky and white clouds.

Dozens of knights on horses galloped across the water, and the water splashed in all directions, causing ripples.

Their bodies, together with the horses under them, are made of transparent water, shining brightly under the sunlight.

And surrounded by these knights, a small wooden boat was flying like an arrow on the water surrounded by fire.

The waves left by the stern are like long smudges left by a paintbrush.

"Be careful," Savannah said, "They won't just let us go."

Scott put away the [magic mirror] and observed the green knights who were far away.

"Are they preparing to charge fearlessly?" He had some doubts, "Since they have wisdom, they won't give up their lives easily..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed that the galloping green knights were rearranging their formation.

The green knights surrounding the boat slowed down and were parallel to the green knights behind the boat.

Soon, they formed an extremely wide cavalry phalanx.

"What are they trying to do?" Scott raised alarm.

"They're going to start charging," Savannah said.

At this moment, Scott seemed to hear the neighing of a steed.

Then, the cavalry phalanx in the rear began to accelerate and charge, and the speed became faster and faster.

Edgar, who was originally standing at the bow of the ship, flapped his wings and jumped up, jumped over the heads of Scott and Savannah, and landed lightly on the stern of the ship.

When it folded its wings, the cavalry phalanx behind it was getting closer.

As the green knights continued to gallop, the originally calm waters of the swamp became choppy.

Soon, the water waves surging in front of the knight phalanx became higher and higher, and the boat began to shake accordingly.

"Are they trying to form a wave and overturn our boat?" Scott laughed.

At this time, the water waves chasing the boat were already as high as several floors, and the entire cavalry phalanx seemed to have merged into the waves.

Edgar spread his wings and was about to strike, but Scott stopped it.

"Let Sirene deal with them," he said.

When water and fire meet, they will turn into fog. At that time, not only will the sight be blocked, but the fog will also be used by the green knight.

Edgar folded his wings obediently, and the ring of flames that circled the boat disappeared without a trace.

Sirene nodded, jumped off the boat, and stood firmly on the water.

At this time, the boat also stopped.

"Armor protection!"

Scott waved his wand, and a huge spherical magic barrier instantly formed, enveloping the entire ship.

Outside the magic barrier, Xirein stood on the water with his back to the stern, looking up at the raging waves.

It threw back its head and let out a growl, throwing up its hands.

The water-blue magic power visible to the naked eye erupted from it instantly and spread rapidly.

When the surging tide came into contact with the magic power, it felt as if the pause button had been pressed and remained motionless.

As Xi Rein pressed down with his hands, the wave several stories high began to fall inch by inch.

Until the water surface calmed down again, Scott withdrew the magic barrier.

After Xirein jumped back into the boat, the boat cut through the water again and moved forward rapidly.

"They didn't give up," Savannah said.

Yes, the Green Knight did not give up.

Soon, one after another human figures formed by the converging water flow resurfaced.

First a human body, then a horse body, and the neatly arranged knight phalanx took shape again, still galloping behind the boat.

It seems that they have learned their lesson, they no longer manipulate the water flow to form a wave, but just follow from a distance.

"Do they have other tricks?" Scott asked.

Savannah shook her head, "I don't know, the records I've read don't describe the Green Knight in too much detail."

"Perhaps they have given up?"

Scott first said something in a relaxed tone, then frowned, denying his guess.

"No, they want to gather more power."

As the boat passed by, more and more Green Knights surfaced and joined the cavalry phalanx.

It didn't take long for the phalanx, which originally consisted of dozens of cavalry, to have become an army of hundreds of cavalry, and the number is still increasing.

"Is it safe to go on like this?"

Savannah stood up leaning on a long wooden staff, looking behind.

"Maybe we should eliminate some of them first."

"It's ok."

Scott still sat quietly.

"Let me see how much they can gather."

Savannah sat down again upon hearing this.

"It seems that you haven't shown your real skills yet?"

She looked at Scott curiously.

"After all, they can only manipulate water," Scott said with a smile. "As long as you turn water into ice, they can't do anything."

Savannah nodded, "Indeed, if you can freeze this swamp in an instant, we can even walk across it safely."

Having said that, she smiled slightly at Scott.

"can you do it?"

"I can't do it," Scott said, "but Ymir can."

"Ymir?" Savannah looked at Edgar and Sirene, "Is it the same as them?"

Scott shook his head, "No, it's the giant alchemy doll I got from the secret realm, from the hands of ancient wizards."

Savannah didn't ask too much, "If that's the case, then I can rest assured."

After that, the two of them didn't speak any more, they both quietly looked at the increasingly exaggerated number of cavalry phalanx behind them.

At this point Scott had no way of counting the number of Green Knights on the water.

As far as the eye can see, they are all the same figure, and the army formed by the green knights already has the momentum of galloping horses.

"It's started." Savannah reminded.

The surging wave took shape again, and the Green Knights merged into the wave again.

This time, there is no longer just one wave, but one after another, and each wave is higher than the next.

The water that was originally clear has become cloudy.

One wave after another kept rolling forward, easily affecting the sailing of the boat.

At this time, the boat had already started to bump up and down exaggeratedly, like a helpless leaf.

Scott also held out his left hand.

On the [Hwagmir Ring] worn on the index finger of the left hand, a drop-shaped ice-blue gemstone shines brightly.

The light, like flowing ice crystals, outlines a tall and stalwart figure in the air.

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.

The illusory figure turned from illusory to real, and Ymir, who was wearing a full set of ice armor, appeared.

When its feet touched the water, the water instantly condensed into ice.

Ice freezes extremely fast, from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water almost instantly.

Ymir's huge body stood firmly on the ice.

Not seeing any movement from it, the ice surface began to spread rapidly.

"call……"

Scott let out a breath of white air.

The waves coming in one after another from behind have stood still and completely turned into glaciers.

At this time, the boat was also frozen on the ice.

"Next, let Ymir take us there."

Scott stood up and directly lifted the summons to Edgar and Sirene, watching their figures gradually fade away.

Then, he jumped off the boat again, stood on the ice, rescued the frozen battle alchemy doll, and also canceled the summoning.

Ymir turned around, knelt down on one knee, and slowly stretched out his right hand.

Scott greeted Savannah, and jumped onto Ymir's palm.

After Savannah also jumped up, Ymir put them on his shoulders.

Then, Ymir took big steps and walked in the direction indicated by Savannah.

As it moved forward, the entire swamp turned into a glacier step by step.

No more Green Knights.

"Originally, I planned to keep a hand."

On Ymir's shoulder, Scott said to Savannah.

He didn't intend to summon Ymir so early, but thought of using it as a trump card, playing a trick of surprise.

"But those green knights are just too annoying."

He didn't want to consume too much mana and stamina. If Edgar and Sirene were the only ones to rely on, although they could also deal with those green knights, their speed would be much slower.

Savannah looked at Scott, then turned her head to look forward, "Your heart is not peaceful."

"thanks for reminding."

Scott took a deep breath.

The cold air entered his lungs through the respiratory tract, gradually cooling down his emotions.

"I should really keep calm."

He turned to look at Savannah.

"You are much calmer and calmer than before."

Even during that meeting on Melane Island, Savannah did not change like she does now.

Savannah said softly: "Druid practice requires me to blend in with nature."

Scott nodded.

During this meeting, Savannah's magic power has indeed changed a lot in his perception.

The nature of her magic power is undoubtedly closer to nature. If it is in an environment like a forest with magic power, even Scott's magic power perception will not be easy to capture her magic power fluctuations.

Out of curiosity, Scott added, "I heard that because druids often need to transform into beasts, you still need to retain wildness."

"Are you curious?"

Savannah turned to look at him.

Suddenly, a dramatic change took place in her eyes.

Her eyes were no longer as clear and ethereal as before, but like beasts, full of the wild breath of a predator.

At the same time, some subtle changes have taken place in the nature of her magic power, making it more difficult to distinguish.

"Oh……"

Scott let out a meaningless exclamation.

"That's it."

Savannah blinked and returned to her original eyes.

Scott looked ahead again at the endless swamp.

Seeing that the journey was still far away, he turned to talk about the "Tower of Babel" he had built.

"Regarding the ideals of the new world, are you druids interested in participating?"

Savannah didn't answer.

She just gave Scott another strange look.

"I never thought that one day you would work hard for such a grand ideal."

Scott said: "It seems that you saw very early on what kind of person I am."

Savannah nodded slightly.

"Clever, cunning, cold, selfish, confused."

Scott smiled nonchalantly.

"There seems to be more bad than good."

"To ordinary people, you are like this." Savannah said affirmatively, "Of course, when facing friends, your behavior is different."

All Scott cared about was her last word.

"Confused?"

He thought back.

"In the past, I just wanted to be the most free wizard, not to be hindered by anyone or anything. That may be a manifestation of confusion."

Savannah smiled, "There are always things that hold you back in this world, and there will even be more and more."

"you're right."

Scott's tone became much lighter.

"Parents, relatives, friends, teachers... all along, the more you get, the more ties you have, and it is impossible for me to give up these."

"I used to want to be free too."

Savannah said softly.

"I even want to throw away my druid identity and become a real wizard."

"But you still choose to take responsibility," Scott said.

"I once hated my grandfather who forced me to become a priest, and I also hated those relatives who had high expectations for me. The pressure made me breathless."

Having said that, Savannah laughed in relief.

"But when I really became a priest and knew all the history of the druids, I didn't need anyone to urge me to understand what I should do."

She raised her hand to stop Scott from speaking, and continued: "Do you know why I liked you crazily at that time?"

Scott was a little embarrassed, "Exaggerated, you are not crazy."

Savanna smiled again, "That's because I won't be crazy in front of you."

"Uh……"

Scott didn't know how to respond.

But Savannah has already continued talking on her own.

"Because you look so free like a gust of wind."

"You are different from other young wizards in Hogwarts. You are not willing to be more restricted, and you can always find ways to easily do what you want."

"You like that make me look forward to it."

Scott said softly, "But you know, it's because of confusion."

"That's something I figured out later," Savannah said. "I couldn't see it clearly at the time."

"Looks like we've all grown up," Scott said.

"I don't like you like that anymore, but I want to thank you, for me, those likes are a sweet dream."

Savannah held out her hand.

"Now, on behalf of Druid, I want to cooperate with you to create a new world with only magic."
