Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair
Chapter 236: Why not take action?
Phoenix blinked his eyes, which were sore from long concentration. He moved his gaze away from Nicholas and glanced at the sea behind the ship.
There, a pirate ship was approaching rapidly, and he could even clearly see the pirate flag flying on the pirate ship - a skull with a straw hat, fluttering in the sea breeze.
Phoenix couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"This pirate really knows how to choose the pirate flag. There won't be a King Luffy too, right?"
He knew that the flag was the symbol of the pirates, representing their freedom and adventurous spirit, but it also foreshadowed the coming battle and chaos.
Nicholas' voice suddenly broke the silence around him. His words were simple and direct, yet carried an unquestionable power.
He said:
"If you are caught, even you will die!"
His tone was calm, as if he was simply stating an obvious fact rather than delivering disturbing news.
Phoenix raised his eyebrows, and his gaze returned from the pirate ship to Nicholas. He asked:
"Even if it's me?"
There was a hint of surprise and a hint of provocation in his voice.
He didn't expect that this peer who had always been silent would suddenly say such words.
Nicholas didn't say anything else. He just continued to wipe the next piece of glass, as if the words just now were not said by him.
His movements were still so focused and rhythmic, as if nothing around him could affect him.
Phoenix sighed silently. He felt helpless and a little amused.
He swore that if this wave of pirates was really led by Nicholas, he would definitely "teach" Nicholas how to speak properly!
He knew that Nicholas probably didn't mean it, but his words undoubtedly added a hint of uncertainty to the already tense atmosphere.
The corners of Phoenix's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
He himself knows his strength best. In this world full of magic and miracles, as a wizard, he possesses extraordinary power and wisdom.
Even judging by the current possibilities, he is confident enough to cope with the upcoming challenges.
Although Nicholas' words surprised him a little, he did not take them to heart.
He knew that Nicholas seemed to know that he was a wizard, but so what?
At this moment, Nicholas was silently complaining in his heart:
"You two little wizards are really ignorant of the world. If one of you were not from the Malfoy family and the other from the Greengrass family, you would be great."
He thought to himself that if it weren't for the reputation and influence of the two families, he wouldn't bother with the two young wizards.
Although Nicholas was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he remained calm on the outside.
He knew that at this critical moment, he couldn't let his emotions affect others.
He continued to clean the glass as if it was the only thing he cared about.
Phoenix turned around and his eyes turned to the pirate ship again.
Although Nicholas is only 12 years old, his behavior reveals a maturity and stability beyond his age.
His movements were neither hasty nor impatient, and every detail revealed his well-considered decision.
There was no trace of panic in his eyes, as if he had long been accustomed to facing various challenges and dangers.
Phoenix and Nicholas were each immersed in their own thoughts, doing their own things in silence.
Phoenix's fingers gently stroked the pocket of his robes, where his wand was hidden, ready for any emergency.
And Nicholas continued his glass-wiping work as if it was the only thing he cared about.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the pirate ship behind them was getting closer and closer to them.
The shouts of the pirates were heard in the sea breeze, their voices were full of greed and arrogance.
Many crew members have begun to get anxious, and some have even started preparing to jump into the water and escape alone.
This sentiment spread throughout the ship, making the atmosphere even more tense.
At this time, Phoenix could see the figures coming and going on the opposite pirate ship. They were busy on the ship, preparing for the upcoming battle.
He knew that these pirates were desperate criminals who did not care about the lives of the crew members and only wanted to plunder the treasures on the ship.
Phoenix's eyes were fixed on the pirate ship, and he was silently calculating the distance between the two ships in his mind.
He knew that once the pirate ships entered the effective range of the artillery fire, they would face tremendous pressure.
The cannons on their ships were far inferior to those on the pirate ships in both number and firepower, which meant that they could not gain any advantage in a head-on engagement.
He thought to himself:
"If we get any closer, we'll be within range of an artillery exchange."
He knew that they had to come up with a solution before then, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, David, the captain of the ship, also ran to Phoenix.
He glanced at Nicholas and said bitterly without any hesitation:
"Master Malfoy, why don't you and Miss Greengrass take the boat first."
There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in his tone.
"The government just said that it will take them another hour to arrive."
There was a hint of despair in David's voice. He knew that with their current situation, it would be difficult for them to hold out until the government reinforcements arrived.
"But we may not be able to hold on until then!"
There was a heavy foreboding in his words; he knew that they were facing a battle that was almost impossible to win.
Phoenix frowned, he knew what David said made sense.
Both he and Astoria were important people, and their safety was of paramount importance.
However, he also knew that if they escaped now, the remaining crew members would be in even greater danger.
Phoenix shook his head, his eyes firm and calm, and he said:
"No need. Even if we leave in a small boat, we will be caught up soon."
There was an unquestionable determination in his voice.
He knew that running away was not the solution to the problem, and their speed was no match for the pirate ship.
But in fact, he was secretly planning in his heart:
"If it doesn't work, then we'll take action. Once we've dealt with these pirates, we'll use Legilimency to erase the crew's memories."
He knew that as a wizard he had some unconventional means to deal with the crisis at hand.
Although this approach is a bit extreme, he believes it is worth it if it can protect everyone's safety.
Phoenix's mind quickly weighed the pros and cons, he knew.
If he chooses to take action, he must ensure success in one fell swoop, because if he fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
