Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 601 Carlisle's Escape
The mystery is now a thorn in Mike's throat.

This item with strange powers allows the weak to have strength that does not match their abilities, and also allows other people from the Ministry of Magic and the International Magical Confederation to have the power to check and balance Mike.

This doesn't mean that Mike is afraid of those old guys who possess mysterious objects. Mysterious objects are still external objects after all. This unstable power is actually not that scary for Mike, whose own strength has reached the legendary level.

But the threat still exists, which Mike absolutely cannot tolerate.

Therefore, the collection of mysterious objects becomes crucial, because as long as Mike also possesses mysterious objects that are equal to or stronger than those people, the opponent's advantage will no longer exist.

This is the reason why Mike is so anxious to repair the Department of Mysteries.

And now that the Department of Mysteries has been built, it is time for the mysterious objects to enter.

The next day, dozens of elite wizards from Los Santos left the Masonic headquarters under Mike's orders and began searching for mysterious objects around the world.

This group of wizards can be said to be the most elite combatants that Mike has now. They may be lacking in other abilities, but when it comes to combat capabilities, even the group of new Unspeakables in the Department of Mysteries are no match for them.

In addition, in order to ensure their safety and mission completion, Mike also provided them with a lot of additional equipment on top of the standard equipment originally provided by the Los Santos wizards.

Among them, things like ultra-long-range magic communicators, danger alarms and emergency escape keys are nothing compared to the most powerful thing, the distress pendant hanging on the chest of each of them.

This pendant contains spatial coordinates and alchemical components for divination. As long as someone presses the pendant, the other members will be able to obtain the distress message and use the pendant as a coordinate to teleport over to provide support.

Mike also has a pendant like this.

This means that Mike will also participate in the support operation, and it also means that Mike attaches great importance to this operation. After all, given Mike's current status, it is very rare for him to squeeze out time to participate in such an operation.

Just as the Los Santos wizards set off with Mike's expectations, Carlisle, far across the sea in the United States, also received a reply letter from Mike.

At this time, Carlisle and Kled and others were living in a dilapidated factory in southern California.

This factory building was not too big and could not accommodate too many people, so Carlisle only let some of his powerful men stay in the factory. He placed the rest of the soldiers and the elderly, the weak, women and children in the secret realms given to him by Mike.

Their situation is very bad now. No one knows what has gone wrong with those people in the Magic Congress. They suddenly launched a fierce attack last week, and their combat capability has been improved by more than one level compared to before. They directly smashed the heads of Carlisle and Kled's coalition of non-human intelligent creatures.

The reason why they can still stay here and live well is entirely thanks to those secret realms, otherwise the activities of 50,000 people would not be able to escape the pursuit of those wizards.

But their situation is still not optimistic.

They are not wizards and do not have the ability to block divination.

This means that given enough time, the hounds of the Magic Congress will sooner or later find them and tear them to pieces!
So when everyone found out that the letter for help Carlisle sent to the Ministry of Magic of England had received a reply, they immediately became excited and surrounded Carlisle, urging him to read the letter quickly.

They all knew that Mike was the only one who could save them right now.

Carlisle, who was in the center of the crowd, looked at the expectant faces around him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

But when he opened the envelope and saw the contents of the letter, his smile froze instantly.

Kled clearly saw the change in Carlisle's expression. Without waiting for Carlisle to react, he reached out and snatched the letter.

"Ha! I knew it! All humans are bad!" After seeing the contents of the letter, Kled was instantly amused, "McTownley is really kind!"

When these words were spoken, everyone watching on the side was stunned.

A Centaur asked tentatively:

"What...what does this mean?"

"What do you mean? See for yourself!"

After saying this, Kled threw the letter directly in front of the Centaur.

However, the Centaur had no intention of picking up the letter, instead an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

He does not recognize human writing.

Kled also realized this, rolled his eyes and said:
"We have 50,000 people! But McTownley only gave us 50 entry quotas! Do you think he is merciful or not?"

"What? Isn't that pushing us to death?"

"Airport!"

"Cunning hairless monkey!"

……

The crowd around was immediately in an uproar. Most of them were angrily cursing Mike for his ungratefulness, but there were still a small number of people who remained silent, and some even showed a look of relief on their faces.

These people are the absolute top leaders in Carlisle’s army.

If Carlisle were to select fifty people to enter the Ying Kingdom, they would definitely be on the list.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Carlisle smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"This can't actually be blamed on Mike. He originally told me that he didn't want too many non-human intelligent creatures to enter the country, and he also gave us so many secret realm keys. It was my request that was too much."

"Never mind all that!" Kled interrupted Carlisle with a roar, "The most important thing is what should we do now? The hounds of the Magic Congress may find us at any time! Carlisle, use your invincible brain to think about it! Otherwise, we may all die here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd around them fell silent again, looking at Carlisle as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Carlisle gritted his teeth and thought about countermeasures in his mind.

Mike's rejection was indeed a big blow to him, but when he thought about it carefully, it was actually not a big deal.

After all, they still have a lot of secret realms in their hands.

Although only a small part of those secret realms are suitable for human survival, the vast majority of the rest are resource realms that have been almost mined by the Ministry of Magic, and the living environment in them is extremely harsh.

But it is not impossible to accommodate 50,000 people if we squeeze in.

Of course, multiple races living together in dense groups will inevitably cause a lot of trouble such as racial conflicts, and their population expansion will also be strictly restricted.

But at this critical moment, they have no time to think about the future.

And since those secret realms can accommodate all of them, then things are very simple.

As long as the fifty of them can arrive in Ying Country with the secret realm key, they can be considered to have successfully evaded the pursuit of the Magical Congress of the United States. At the same time, they can also meet Mike's request to only allow fifty people to enter.

Of course, whether Mike would approve of his tricky way of solving the problem is a big question, but Carlisle can't care about that now.

He quickly expressed his ideas and immediately gained the approval of more than half of the people present.

The remaining people did not object, they were all Kree's subordinates, and they were waiting for Kree to express his opinion. But Kree just stood there with a tangled look on his face, not saying a word.

After waiting for a while, Carlisle stopped waiting when he saw that Krei still hadn't responded. He stood up and said to everyone:
"Time waits for no one! Lord Tang Li has arranged for people to rescue us. We must act immediately and rush to the rendezvous point!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered and began to walk towards the outside of the factory.

Seeing this, Klei, who had remained silent all the time, gritted his teeth and followed with his men.

Outside the factory, although it was only early morning, the sun was already high in the sky, casting bright sunlight downwards.

California's sunshine is famous all over the world.

However, Carlisle and the others were not in the mood to appreciate it. They pulled up their hoods, nimbly dodged the scattered pedestrians on the street, and moved quickly in the shadows of the buildings.

The meeting place agreed upon by Mike and them was at a farm ten kilometers away from here. This distance was only a snap of a finger for a wizard who had mastered the Apparition spell, but for Carlisle and the others it meant at least ten minutes of full-speed running.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous, because they cannot hide the truth from the hounds of the Magical Congress of the United States who have fortune tellers, so a fierce battle is almost inevitable.

Carlisle had just thought so when a beam of light that was almost transparent in the sunlight fell in front of him, blasting a shallow pit on the concrete floor.

The flying gravel scratched Carlisle's cheek, leaving a few shallow bloody marks on it.

Feeling the pain on his face, Carlisle felt like his heart was almost stopping.

He took a deep breath and roared at the loudest volume in his life:
"Enemy attack! Perform tactical movement to evade!"

Almost at the moment Carlisle finished speaking, spells filled the sky like a rain curtain falling.

Carlisle and others were shocked, but they still instinctively took evasive actions.

But the opponent's attacks were too intense. Even though they had tried to evade them, and even though they were non-intelligent creatures with far greater resistance to spells than humans, many members were still killed or injured.

Listening to the screams coming from his ears, Carlisle resisted the urge to look back and rushed forward with gritted teeth.

He can't die!

This is not because he is afraid of death, but because of responsibility!

You have to know that he holds a large number of keys to secret realms. If he dies or is captured alive, then none of the old, weak, women and children hiding in these secret realms will survive!
With the help of this belief, Carlisle sped up again, and his speed was so fast that he became a shadow.

On the other side, the Aurors who had just attacked Carlisle and others finally showed up.

They rode on flying brooms and quickly flew through the air in a tactical formation of three people. Their number was almost three times that of Carlisle's troops!
And with the help of flying brooms, they moved much faster than Carlisle and his men.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

Seeing this, the giants at the end of the team gritted their teeth, stopped and rushed towards the group of wizards.

Looking at this scene, Carlisle felt a sudden surge of bitterness in his throat.

He knew very well that those giants would never come back, and they had decided to use their lives to buy time for Carlisle and others.

"Roar! For freedom!"

The giants roared, grabbed the cars nearby, and smashed them towards the wizards in the sky.

However, this was in vain. The next moment, dense barrages of bullets fell again, instantly blowing the giants into a bloody mess, and the loud war cry came to an abrupt end.

Witnessing this tragic scene, several Muggle passers-by screamed, but the Aurors in the sky burst into laughter.

At this time, several centaurs rushed over again, followed by several goblins, monsters, and hillbillies...

The team around Carlisle was shrinking rapidly, and these people used their lives to buy time for Carlisle and others.

But listening to the laughter coming from the sky, Carlisle was very clear in his mind.

The reason why he and his companions had not been completely eliminated until now was not because of their companions' procrastination, but because of the Aurors' leniency.

These wizards did not intend to kill them with one blow, but rather toyed with their desperate prey like a house cat catching a mouse.

Although Carlisle felt a little humiliated by this, he was still happy to see it happen.

Because thanks to these people releasing water, they can now see the farm.

After exhaling a breath of foul air with a slight smell of rust, Carlisle and others increased their speed again and finally crossed the finish line.

The moment he reached his destination, Carlisle fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

He turned over with difficulty and saw another round of dense spell barrage being released from the Aurors' wands and attacking them.

The momentum of this intensive attack was so overwhelming that even someone like Carlisle, who had seen truly big scenes, couldn't help but tremble.

But even so, an ugly look of danger appeared on his face.

Because he knew they were safe.

Sure enough, at the moment when the dense barrage of bullets was about to land, a huge golden mist light curtain appeared above their heads, blocking all the spells.

Seeing this, the Aurors from the Magical Congress of the United States were shocked, and at the shouting of the leading commander, they quickly dispersed to prevent possible attacks.

It has to be said that their commander had a very high tactical quality, because the next moment, dozens of wizards wearing black hoods and without any identification marks on their bodies rushed out of the farm.

They raised their wands in unison, and dense green beams of light rose from the farm and attacked the Aurors in the sky.

"Boom boom boom!"

A burst of dense explosions sounded from the sky, and more than a dozen Aurors were shot down before they could dodge.

Carlisle burst into laughter upon seeing this, and as he laughed he couldn't stop his tears from flowing.

But his laughter soon stopped as a hooded face suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man looked at Carlisle and his team, then said:

"Are you guys okay?"
