Retirement from Hogwarts

Although Jack's magic successfully hit the slippery tentacles coming towards them, before they knew it, the black smoke that appeared quietly along with the tentacles had surrounded them unknowingly.

"Damn it." Jack, who felt a little uneasy after repelling the tentacles, suddenly yelled, then took out his wand and released the dimensional anchor to try to fix the three of them in place.It's a pity that as a former warrior, his magic skills are still one step behind.His dimensional anchor did not play any role under the erosion of the fog. When the black fog that completely enveloped them dissipated, they had been transferred to a desolate world they had never seen before.

The eerie purple moonlight enveloped the sky of this world. Dark trees that seemed to have been burned by flames stood twisted and erected on both sides of the path where they were. Medieval-like weapons and armor were scattered in the jungle around them.The crows chirping in the air from time to time made the atmosphere even more chilling.

Looking at the gloomy dead forest around her, Hermione's knuckles clenching her wand could not help but turn pale. She lowered her voice as if she was afraid of disturbing some terrifying existence and asked Jack in a low voice: "What do you think? what is the place?"

"I don't know." Jack said, staring closely at the space anchor extending from his wand. "Judging from the information sent when the space anchor was transmitted just now, it seems that we have not moved our position at all."

"Didn't change positions?" Hermione blinked after hearing Jack's words, as if she thought of something.

"Do you remember when we were attacked on the train to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked Jack.

"You mean we are in the otherworld of Hogsmeade now?" Jack understood her thoughts immediately.

"I do think so." Hermione nodded. "But there is one thing I don't understand. I have seen in many narratives about the inner world that the locations in the inner world and the outer world should correspond after direct conversion. But if the coordinates transmitted by your space anchor are OK If so, how did we get from the underground of Hogwarts to this forest?"

Jack narrowed his eyes after listening to Hermione's words and looked towards the sky.Then he said to Hermione word by word: "Maybe this is really underground."

"You mean this is an underground world like Atlantis in the story?" Hermione asked, covering her mouth in surprise. "But aren't those all legends?"

"This is not a legend." Jack shook his head slightly. "The underground world does exist on some planets, but some people deliberately turned the whole thing into a legend in order to hide this secret."

Hermione's face tightened after hearing his words: "Doesn't that mean..."

But before she could finish speaking, bursts of roaring sounds similar to the braying of cows came from the surrounding forest.

After hearing these voices, the expressions of the two people couldn't help but change at the same time.

"It's the Minotaur." After Jack said this, he quickly picked up Brynhildr and ran with Hermione.Confronting these powerful creatures that only exist in the inner world of each planet is not what a wizard below the level of a great magician should do.Their hard skin full of energy resistance will make all magic without the special psychic power of the great magician be penetrated.

Bottom immunity.

"What should we do? Since there are so many Minotaurs here, there must be their tribes around. As long as they release the tame wargs, there is absolutely no way we can escape from their smell range." Hermione was a little confused. asked in panic.

"No, go to heaven?" Brynhildr looked at the panicked Hermione and opened the light wings that she had hidden in her body since she came to Hogwarts, as if she planned to take them away from this place. A place of right and wrong.

"No, you can't use flying ones." Jack gently shook his head after listening to Brynhildr's suggestion. "There is not a single bird in the sky here except for the crows lingering in the treetops. It is obvious that this sky is controlled by some kind of overlord-level creature."

"And if we fly low, those Minotaur flying axes will definitely make us unable to eat." Hermione added again while looking at Brynhild who was hesitant to speak.

"That's it, ah." Brünnhilde didn't help much along the way. After hearing Hermione's words, Brünnhilde lowered her head in a depressed mood.

"Brünnhilde, take this." Jack looked at the depressed little girl and gently handed her a bag of powder. "Spread it on the road behind us. It should cover our scent for a while."

"Okay, Jack, brother." Brynhildr couldn't help but nodded excitedly after realizing that she could finally be of some use. She tore open the powder package and sprinkled it behind her according to the instructions on the cover.

Jack also used the transformation technique to match his movements, turning many things around them into the appearance of the three of them. Then he threw eight or nine pieces of his old clothes behind him and directed them to follow different times. Taking these clothes and two bags of the same dispersing powder as Brynhildr's hand, he spread it around.

"These baits should be able to delay them for a while." After setting them up, Jack led the two of them off the road and ran in a direction without baits.

"Is it really okay for us to leave the road like this?" Hermione asked worriedly, looking at the grass lying in the direction of their progress after a few people passed by. "If we walk like this and the traces are so heavy, we will definitely be caught up by those jungle minotaurs who are proficient in hunting."

"So we need this." Jack handed two palm-sized patches to Hermione, then chose a wilderness with many huge gravels and stopped.

"Emergency space suit?" Hermione looked at the thing in her hand and looked at Jack strangely, as if waiting for his explanation.

"I want to see what those minotaurs are going to use to find us after we completely isolate our breath with these spacesuits." Jack said after Hermione and Brynhildr put on this layer-high suit. The molecular bubbles formed the spacesuits, released the disembodiment spell on them, and then helped them onto the rock opposite the boulder where they were hiding.

After he finished arranging the magic on the two women, Jack once again took out two stones from his pocket and placed them behind a relatively hidden stone in the clearing where they stopped, and used the transformation spell to turn them into the three of them. After sitting on the ground exhausted, he once again covered it with an old piece of his clothes as usual.After completing all this, he nodded with satisfaction, then put on the emergency spacesuit and cast the Disillusionment Curse on himself.Then he hid on the rocks with the other two girls.
