Chapter 486 Rescuing Hostages (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
The East End of London is a relatively chaotic area in London, especially the Whitechapel area which is dominated by South Asians. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are generally reluctant to enter this area, but today there was an exception. Three girls who looked to be about 11 or 12 years old were walking on the street wearing windbreakers that looked a bit old-fashioned. Maybe because this scene was a bit weird, the hooligans on the street just looked at them from a distance and did not approach them.

These three people were Ryan, Hermione and Jill, who used the magic of the Faceless Man to transform into girls of the same age. Rose Crystal was floating above them in an invisible state as a reserve. Ten minutes after receiving the intelligence, they had already appeared outside the Death Eater base.

In front of them was a two-story Victorian-style building with an attic that looked a bit old. The red brick walls had become dirty. Part of the glass window in the room was also broken, and now it was barely nailed shut with some broken wooden boards. Next to the door of the room was a metal trash can full of garbage, and the green paint on it had basically fallen off. There were two wild cats foraging on the trash can. When they saw Ryan and the others approaching, they meowed and ran away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ryan and his team crouched down and hid in the corner of the street. Ryan then threw a stone with runes on it and hit the wall. Using the stone as a springboard, Ryan began to analyze the defensive magic hidden around him. However, when drawing the runes out of thin air, Ryan accidentally made a mistake.

"I just can't get used to my body getting smaller all of a sudden." Ryan muttered and explained. He originally didn't plan to dress up as a woman. However, Hermione told Ryan to dress up as a woman again, using the reason that girls can make the enemy relax their vigilance and keep in line with everyone. This time they chose the hair of two orphans in the orphanage in the world of "The Lord of the Rings". The reason for choosing this age was that the younger the age, the harder it is to hit, but if it is too small, it will be disadvantageous in battle. In addition, Jill used the talent of the wraith to change her hair color and facial appearance, and turned into the bear girl Mormont.

The investigation results came out in a few minutes. Apart from some simple magic defenses, there were no complex magic traps like the manor where they lived now, and there was no Fidelius Charm that they were most worried about. But think about it, this is just a very peripheral base of the Death Eaters, not where Voldemort is. Logically speaking, it is impossible to set up such a high level of defense in such a place.

The next thing was easy. After easily destroying the magic defense outside without disturbing the people inside, Ryan and his team found out that the two Death Eaters were on the second floor, and directly chose the window closest to them as the breakthrough point. Rose Crystal and Jill were on guard outside.

After they climbed onto the roof together, Ryan and Hermione smiled at each other, fixed the sturdy gutter on the eaves of the house with the hook on their wrists, and then slowly descended to the two windows on both sides of the house by pulling the rope. After communicating with the Phoenix Mark, the two of them kicked the glass windows at the same time, and then swung their swords to attack the two unprepared Death Eaters.

The bearded Death Eater Ryan was facing wanted to wave his wand to resist, but he was half a beat slower. Ryan's swung fencing sword cut off the upper half of the wand and his head together, which was as easy as a hot knife cutting through butter. At the same time, Hermione's rapier also pierced through the left eye of another Death Eater, penetrating the skull and revealing the palm-length sword tip.

Wizards will reflexively use magic protection after being attacked suddenly. Just like when Neville was a child, he fell from a building and flew across half a street without any injury. This is why it is difficult for ordinary guns to hurt wizards. In other words, when young wizards have insufficient mana, they may be injured by guns.

However, such defense had no effect on the carefully crafted alchemical weapons, so now the two Death Eaters fell to the ground and died. Ryan then began to clean up the bodies, while Hermione went to comfort the captured hostages.

Hermione soon discovered where the Death Eaters were supposed to be: she found traces of the Cruciatus Curse being cast multiple times on several South Asian Muggle illegal immigrant children and women.

In addition to these poor Muggles, Ryan and his party also met Florin Fosco and his Squib wife in this house. Both of them were injured. According to Florin, he was kidnapped because he criticized the pure blood view of the Death Eaters. After learning that they were rescued, the first reaction of the Fosco couple was to leave the country as soon as possible. But they didn't know where to go, because Voldemort's followers began to appear on the European continent, and they didn't want to be kidnapped again.

"You can go to Norway and hide for a while." Ryan said, taking out an illegal portkey to a plantation in northern Norway. As werewolves who have always been excluded by mainstream society, they have never trusted the Ministry of Magic. So they made a series of not-so-legal things for escape, including this belt buckle with a wolf head cast on it given to Ryan. After watching the Fuscos being successfully transferred away, Ryan and his team prepared to evacuate the kidnapped Muggles. At this time, Rose Crystal sent an urgent notice: three Death Eaters were approaching this direction, and the basis for judgment was the black robes and silver masks.

"Rose Crystal, you and Jill protect the hostages in the building. Hermione and I will go out to stop them." After giving the order through the soul connection, Ryan and Hermione took out the wands they had seized before and rushed out, trying to stop the three Death Eaters who were rushing over.

However, the opposing Death Eaters changed their tactics after seeing someone intercepting them. The two Death Eaters on the left and right intercepted Ryan and Hermione respectively, and then the Death Eater in the middle broke through the interception and rushed to the building, because the commander found that Ryan and his team rushed out to protect the building behind them. So he simply abandoned his companions and tried to hit Ryan and his team's vital points.

As soon as they started fighting, Ryan realized that the Death Eater sent to entangle him was probably a new recruit after Voldemort's resurrection, and his skills were not very high. Hermione encountered a similar situation. Just as they were worried about the hostages in the building behind them, a large fog suddenly appeared on the building, covering the entire building.

After learning from Rose Crystal through the soul link that the fog was caused by Jill and that she was now fighting the Death Eater on equal terms, Ryan and his team calmed down and spent three minutes killing their opponents with Fireball and Blood Spear respectively. In fact, the two Death Eaters were not so weak, but before that, neither the Aurors nor the Order of the Phoenix used lethal means. It was also the first time for them to see Ryan's deadly attack method, and they were easily killed by Ryan and his team in a panic.

Just as they were about to help Jill, a silver light flashed and the Death Eater rushed out of the mist. The severed silver mask revealed the left half of her face: Bellatrix.

Unexpectedly, the half of her face that was exposed was full of fear, and there were several wounds on her body that were constantly bleeding. After rushing out of the fog, Ryan and the others saw her Apparate and disappear before they could do anything. Then the fog slowly disappeared, and Rose Crystal and Jill appeared on the roof.

What happened to scare such a cruel Death Eater? It all started a few minutes ago. When Rose Crystal saw a Death Eater rushing towards her, she was going to stop him, but Jill volunteered to help her mother deal with the enemy. Rose Crystal could vaguely sense that Jill was not weak, so she just let her fight.

Jill did not disappoint Rose Crystal's trust. She looked up at the starry night sky and took a step forward. A large amount of fog immediately emerged from around her, covering the entire roof, and also covering the Death Eater who turned into black mist and flew up after seeing her.

Looking at the Death Eater who raised his wand towards her, Jill murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "Whitechapel, what a nostalgic place."
