Chapter 677 Touching the whistle (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote)
As we all know, destruction is always easier than construction, especially the more sophisticated and complex something is, the easier it is to destroy it. For example, after exploring the magic arrays used to maintain plant growth throughout the plantation, Ryan found that by slightly changing the magic circuits in a few key places, it would be easy to completely destroy the magic array systems that might take a whole month or even a whole year to build.

"The enemies are mainly concentrated in these two places. In addition, we have to block this place." Ryan pointed at three places with his wand. They were the guard room, the strange small room with a large space underground, and the dormitory of the house-elves.

"We will first raid and kill the two or three guards in the guard room to prevent them from raising the alarm and buy time for our next move." Ryan said, "Then seal off the house-elf dormitory and install explosive magic devices at several key magic nodes. Finally, raid this small room together, and I don't know what it is doing now."

"Have you checked the number of people?" Jill suddenly appeared and asked. "Especially at the beginning, we need to make sure we take over the guard room as soon as possible without raising any alarm. If there are too many people inside, it will be difficult to control the situation immediately."

"Don't worry about that." Hermione said as she tapped the map with her wand. Soon, a series of tiny red dots of light appeared on the map. "My magic was on those reconnaissance balls before. Through soul detection, we can determine that there are only three people in the guard office. There are eleven house-elves in the other house."

Hermione paused for a moment, "But the strange thing is, although I can't feel any human soul fluctuations in the smallest house, look here."

Hermione pointed her wand at the door of the small house on the map, and the map quickly began to zoom in. "Look at the door of this room. There is even a path on the grass and the footprints are very fresh. Judging from the shoe prints, there are at least ten people. Through soul magic detection, there is no one in this room."

"That should be the anti-detection magic circle set up here." Ryan easily came to the conclusion based on these signs. "It seems that something very important is going on in this house, so this operation will focus on this. Okay, let's go have dinner first, and then lie down on the bed and rest for a while. We will get up on time at three in the morning to act."

At three o'clock in the morning, everything was silent. After making all the preparations, Ryan summoned his wings and pulled Hermione down from the spaceship, while Rose Crystal flew around him to protect them.

The wizards below obviously ignored the air defense, or thought that the air defense magic circle could completely prevent any situation. However, the seemingly sophisticated detection magic circle was not as effective as expected. As Ryan's flight altitude decreased, he soon came into contact with the thin layer of magic defense.

At the moment of contact, a pendant on Ryan and Hermione lit up at the same time. Then the two people penetrated the defense line silently like two drops of water merging into the sea. Finally, after a short gliding, the two people landed behind a small hill at most 20 meters away from the guard room.

"It seems that the people inside haven't discovered us." After feeling that all the magic around her was running as usual, Hermione stretched her arm, which had been pulled stiff, and pulled out her wand and a short dagger made of mithril. "How are you preparing?"

"Done." Ryan said, putting away the pink light in his hand. "The six surrounding magic defenses have been destroyed. The next step is to kill the three guys in the guard room."

The following battle seemed a bit dull. After Ryan unlocked the magic on the door and opened it, Hermione, Rose Crystal and Jill launched magic attacks at the same time and killed three guards in an instant.

"They are all Death Eaters, just like what Malfoy said before. The You-Know-Who took over their home and immediately took over this place, and sent a group of elite soldiers to this place." Hermione said after carefully examining the arms of the three bodies on the ground. "This means that this place must have something very important to the You-Know-Who." "If there is something very important, it should be in the basement of that small house." Rose Crystal said, then he turned around and flew out to start alert.

Ryan walked to a table in the room and placed some strange-looking silver utensils on the table. Ryan's first reaction was that they looked familiar, but then he remembered that these things were a bit like those in the principal's office, but there were not as many types as those in Dumbledore's office, and the shapes were also much simpler.

"Well, let me see. This is a complete set of magic props mainly used for monitoring. In addition, a manual response is required every ten minutes, otherwise an alarm will be automatically triggered." Ryan stretched out his wand to check it and quickly analyzed what this set of things was used for. "I need to make a slight change here now, leaving us at least half an hour of action time."

After saying that, he took out a dozen thumb-sized silver plates inlaid with runes made of gold threads from his arms and placed them next to the instruments. After putting the silver plates in place, Ryan used his magic wand to carve grooves between the silver plates, then took out a small piece of pure silver, used the Virgin of the Rose to transform it into liquid at room temperature, and then poured it into the grooves.

As the silver liquid metal spread along the grooves, it finally connected all the silver plates together. When the connection was completed, the silver plates vibrated rapidly at the same time, making a pleasant sound. When the sound stopped after a few seconds, the instruments were covered in a hemispherical silver protective cover that looked like half an eggshell.

"I have gained about half an hour now," Ryan said. "The next step is to seal off the house-elf dormitory. Take these things and stick them on the ground around the house-elf dormitory." Ryan took out a few jujube wood sticks with various spells painted on them with cinnabar and handed them to the three ladies present.

"Isn't it said that house-elves can break through normal restrictions and Apparate?" Hermione asked after taking a few sticks. "If that's the case, the normal method of blocking space movement may be useless."

"Don't worry, the house-elves' ability to Apparition is not stronger than that of wizards. It's just that the principle of their Apparition is different from ours, and wizards often don't pay attention to other intelligent creatures, especially house-elves, because of their contempt for them, so naturally they don't target them in conventional magic. But these things I prepared are different, they can completely block the surrounding space."

"So that's how it is? I've always thought that house-elves have a talent for space travel that humans don't have because they are smaller in size." Hermione showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. After resolving her inner doubts, the four of them left the guard room together and came to the outside of the house-elf dormitory and inserted the wooden sticks into the designated positions as required.

"The last one is that small house." Ryan said, looking at the house in the distance with thick stone walls but no windows. "I have a feeling that there must be a lot of extraordinary things hidden in that house."

"There is just one thing that is a little strange." Jill expressed her doubts after listening to Ryan's words. "If this place is really important, why is there not even a patrol team in the entire plantation? Don't you think that only three Death Eaters guarding this core area is a bit too lax?"
