The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 262: Desperate Green Light

When she first visited Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley, Ada was wary of everyone there, so she changed her appearance. She just wanted to make money quietly and didn't want to get involved.

When negotiating with the greedy Borgin, Ada saw through Borgin's lies at a glance and realized that he wanted to buy the basilisk skin and horn. Ada had experienced someone who offered 200 yuan and finally sold it for 20 yuan, so she knew the tricks here too well.

Although she is not as good as Borgin in asking for a high price and paying a low price, she is still better than Ada in cheating!

Borgin was naturally unwilling to be ripped off, and sent someone to find out his details, which was within Ada's expectations. Even today's robbery did not escape Ada's eyes, otherwise she would have returned to the Burrow directly, why would she stop in this place where there is no village in front and no shop behind.

The basilisk skin and basilisk horn were naturally contributed by the basilisk in the secret room. It had no use for them anyway, and Ada just happened to need them. Ada believed that the spirit of the basilisk in heaven would be very willing to see that she could help others after death.

Since the basilisk was dealt with, Dumbledore has not made any statement, allowing the basilisk's body to rot in the cold chamber of secrets.

Ada couldn't stand this waste of resources, so she quietly asked Professor McGonagall. Although Professor McGonagall didn't say anything, she could see that Dumbledore was not interested in the legacy of the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets.

Dumbledore was not interested, but Ada was. She was not as rich as Harry and had a vault in Gringotts. So Ada, who was quick-witted, entered the Chamber of Secrets again and took the basilisk's skin and horns out of the Chamber of Secrets.

As the number one hero who found the secret room and solved the diary, Ada only took a snake skin and a basilisk horn. Isn't this too much? Anyway, Ada felt that she was not excessive. She didn't touch any of the basilisk's teeth.

The reason why he chose Borgin and Burke's was that Scott Warren was not that big, and few people in his circle would be interested in basilisks. Unlike Borgin and Burke, he dared to take any job and sell anything.

The fact that they could open a shop in Knockturn Alley without being robbed or raided by the Ministry of Magic was enough to show the strength of this shop. I dare not say that it is all-powerful, but it is definitely a giant in this circle.

The four people in front of her slowly surrounded her, but Ada showed no fear at all. She even wanted to sing "Little White Boat" to liven up the atmosphere.

The only ones who could scare her now were Dumbledore who had killed someone, Voldemort who had returned with full health, or Grindelwald who had escaped from Nurmengard. After all, she really couldn't beat these three.

As for the rest of the people, Ada killed them one by one. Even if she couldn't beat them, she could still run away.

The four people, led by Clive, didn't waste any more words. Since this girl was so ungrateful, they would teach her a bloody lesson. The four people attacked together, and four spells went straight to Ada.

But all the spells failed, leaving only the sound of the spells colliding, no corpse on the ground, and Ada's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Blink, one of Ada's innate skills, can be released actively to allow her to move a short distance. Ada avoided the attacks of the four people by blinking and jumped out of the opponent's encirclement.

Judging from the opponent's choice of attack and spell, he really intended to kill her and had no intention of leaving her alive, so Ada naturally didn't need to be polite.

Ada waved her magic wand, and a blazing wall of fire instantly rose up, and quickly moved towards the location of the other four people, with the tendency to directly cremate them.

The four people dodged repeatedly, so they didn't turn into ashes at the first encounter. But when the fire wall was extinguished, they lost sight of Ada again, as if Ada just wanted to set a fire and run away.

But why would Ada run away? How could she, such a peace-loving person, run away? Ada just went to complete her unfinished arrangement.

Clive and the other three gathered together cautiously, their faces somewhat solemn. They had not expected that the other party, who looked so young, could be so difficult to deal with. Hill, the youngest among them, was even more panicked, and the hand holding the wand was shaking a little.

The four people headed by Clive all had dirty hands. It was not the first time for them to work for Mr. Borgin. But this time, they felt a sense of crisis. They knew that some of them might work for Mr. Borgin for the last time. Ada reappeared with flames. The flames in the shape of a big bird cut through the sky and hit the ground, causing an explosion and smoke. Clive and the other four quickly dodged, and the four people who had just gathered together were separated again.

According to the law of smoke without injury, there should be five people after the explosion, but when the smoke cleared, only four people were still standing in front of the grove: Ada, the leader Clive, the tall and strong Jimmy, and the black-haired Gary. Hill, the youngest, fell softly at Ada's feet, no longer breathing.

Ada was not good at sneak attacks. She was an upright person, so how could she sneak attack? The smoke and dust were too heavy, and the other party accidentally got lost. She also accidentally ran into him. That was all. It was not a sneak attack at all.

When the remaining three saw Hill's body, they were not sad or angry, but were thinking about a way out.

They and Hill were just working for Mr. Borgin. There was no need for them to avenge him, nor was there any need to risk their lives for Mr. Borgin's reward. Mr. Borgin would not give any compensation to their families.

But what they didn't know was that they no longer had a chance to run. Since Ada had revealed her true face, she had no intention of letting them leave alive. The arrangement that had just been completed was to prevent them from escaping.

The Muggle-Repelling Charm is to prevent Muggles from getting close and accidentally hurting others, while the Anti-Apparition Charm is to prevent them from escaping.

"Every drop of wizard blood is precious, but those who attacked me are not." Ada said coldly, "Don't worry, after you die, I will visit Mr. Borgin for you."

After saying that, Ada attacked again. Since the other party was willing to die, she was willing to bury them. It would not waste much time to send them off. Clive, Jimmy and Gary did not sit and wait for death. Instead, they besieged Ada together. Even if they wanted to escape, they had to suppress the other party first, so as not to give the other party a chance to chase them.

Outside the grove, the sounds of spells colliding, explosions, and human shouts were mixed together. The siege of three people still put some pressure on Ada, and did not allow Ada to seize the opportunity to cause casualties again in a short period of time.

However, Clive and his two companions failed to take advantage of their numbers and were unable to suppress Ada's attack. Instead, they were in danger of being defeated at any time and had no chance of escape.

Although Ida lacked experience in fighting against many enemies alone, she had outstanding abilities. Not only was her defense impeccable, easily defusing the opponent's attacks, but her offense was also very skillful, with each move being deadly.

Clive was frightened and didn't want to stay here any longer. If he continued to fight, he would only die. While Jimmy and Gary were busy, Clive cast a gust of wind, and with the help of the strong wind, Clive turned and ran.

The idea was good. With the strong wind covering his body and Jimmy and Gary holding his opponent back, there was a great chance of escaping. But Clive had never expected that this place was cast with an anti-Apparition spell.

Unable to Apparate, Clive had no choice but to move his legs and leave the scene using Route 11. After all, this was not Hogwarts, and an anti-Apparition spell could not cover a large area.

It didn't matter that he ran away, but Jimmy and Gary, who were betrayed, suffered. Gary was hit directly in the chest by Ada's gift of liberation, and he fell to the ground instantly and fell into a deep sleep forever.

The remaining Jimmy was not in a good situation either. During the 1V1 fight with Ada, Jimmy was first tied up by vines and unable to move, and then he was set on fire and was directly arranged to receive a one-stop funeral service.

Hearing the screams of his companions behind him, Clive not only did not stop, but ran even faster.

But betraying his teammates did not bring him a chance of survival. Clive, while running, crashed directly into an air wall. The impact made him dizzy and he could not tell east from west.

When Clive got up again, he found in despair that a dark green figure had appeared in front of him. Then he saw a green light infinitely magnified in his eyes.

Clive suddenly discovered that there seemed to be no color in the world more despairing than green.
