A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 358 The Ultimate Secrets of Women's Self-Defense Combat

The torches were lit, casting shadowy light inside the cave.

The man, dressed in a black animal robe and covered in mud, opened the iron cage and roughly threw the two girls inside.

Click! The door was locked.

Inside this cave, there were a dozen or so similar iron cages scattered around, most of which contained children who had just been captured.

A terrifying, grating voice said, "Smelly little chick...what a delicious meal...I love tender, delicate skin...Boss, let me take a bite first."

"I'll bite you a banana!" Jacob, the werewolf leader, said gruffly.

"Mousse, this is for sale to customers. Such a delicate and pretty girl can fetch a good price. They love this kind of girl, so we must protect her well!"

"But in the end, we still have to bite them and turn them into werewolves," Mousse muttered.

"Then let's wait until the moonlight is at its brightest, and do it at Starlight Pool!" Jacob grabbed Mousse by the neck and said gruffly, "If you dare move, I'll bite off three of your legs and use them as a snack!"

"I know... I won't, boss," Mousse said in a panic.

"Good to know, I'm already looking for a new buyer." Jacob said unhappily, "That Skander guy, I don't know where he's run off to! Lately, all the goods have started to get stuck."

"Wasn't the owner of the mysterious circus bitten by that woman, Mormont?"

"Yes." Jacob spat and sneered, "This is the first time I've ever encountered a customer who's been bitten by his goods."

We never imagined that Mormont would return one day after we sold him out.

"I don't think I saw Mormont when I returned to the island."

"She probably ran away... I know, she's always wanted to kill me, after all, I bit her and turned her into a werewolf."

"Alright, let's go get something to eat." Jacob said to a werewolf who had been silent all along, "Ricken, you stay here and watch over... these goods, no one is allowed to come near them."

I know you're the most honest one.

Rickon had a kind, honest smile on his face, and he looked like a reliable person.

He lowered his head and said, "Of course, boss, leave this to me."

Jacob reluctantly led Mousse outside.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Rickon, whom the boss had described as an "honest man," squatted down and secretly pulled a gold watch out of his pocket.

He stared at the gold watch with fascination.

His eyes shone with a mesmerizing light.

All possessions on the prey must be handed over, but Rickon, who captured Anne and Gabrielle, did not hand them over this time.

He had never seen such a beautiful watch before! He decided to keep it and pawn it at Gringotts!

A man cannot live without a safe deposit box, and a safe deposit box must contain something treasured at the bottom of his chest.

Jacob didn't suspect Rickon of stealing food, since he was known as an honest man.

Gabrielle lay shivering in the cage, sobbing softly, her eyes red from crying. She felt a sharp pain in her chest, an uncontrollable force threatening to burst forth.

Anne noticed Gabrielle's unusual behavior, took the little girl's hand, and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

It was pouring rain the whole way, and Annie's little face was red from the cold, looking quite comical and adorable. Yet, she still mimicked her brother's gentle manner towards Hermione, saying:

"Don't be afraid, your brother will come to save us. Don't cry, Hermione will laugh at you if she sees you crying your eyes out, she's the worst!"

Anne kissed Gabrielle on the forehead and then gently hugged her.

Although Gabrielle couldn't understand English, she slowly calmed down as she lay in Anne's arms, looking up at those dark green eyes that were exactly the same as William's.

The magical turmoil within her was gradually calmed down.

Anne's eyes darted around, and suddenly she remembered something. She put her arm around Gabrielle, and secretly reached around her neck with one hand, pulling out a small silver pendant.

William typically uses rings to store items for creating the Seamless Stretch Charm.

Anne didn't like the ring, so she asked her brother to change it into a pendant.

Even with a better safety watch, she didn't throw away the pendant.

There were a lot of interesting little gadgets inside, but she was too lazy to move them out, so she just left them there.

The safety watch was too conspicuous and was stolen, but the pendant is still on her neck.

This damn procrastination!

Anne absolutely adores this little quirk.

After a while, Rickon stood up and said sternly, "Hey, you two, what are you whispering about? Don't say a word!"

Anne looked frightened and hurriedly hid something behind her back.

"What is that!" Rickon shoved the safety watch into his pocket, walked to the cage, and knocked on it.

Anne seemed terrified, and shakily raised her hand, revealing a silver pendant in her palm.

"Give it to me now!" A greedy glint flashed in Rickon's eyes.

Anne hugged Gabrielle and backed away in fear.

Rickon listened intently to the front hall for a while, then took out his wand and aimed it at the chains.

The cage door was opened, and Rickon rushed inside.

Annie tossed the pendant onto the cage with a flick of her wrist.

Rickon didn't think much of it and bent down to pick it up.

"Now!" Annie threw a bouncing egg, which hit Rickon on the head.

White smoke billowed out, blinding Rickon and making him unable to see anything for a moment.

"Sharpshooter" Gabrielle, holding a colorful bubble gun, shot out a bubble. The bubble touched Rickon, and he instantly floated up, his feet off the ground.

Annie popped the bubble, and Rickon fell down, twisting his ankle and almost falling to the ground.

Anne pulled out her bat, as if hitting a stray ball, and swung it hard, sending Rickon sprawling to the ground.

Anne pulled Gabrielle forward, and the two of them kicked each other seven or eight times, still not satisfied, all of them kicking Rickon in the groin.

This is the ultimate self-defense fighting technique that Lyanna taught Anne!

The opponent screamed a few times and completely lost the ability to fight.

Anne searched Rickon's body, found the safety watch, took out her wand from it, grabbed Gabrielle, and ran outside.

The other children in the cages started making a fuss and shouting for help.

A commotion arose in the front hall, and the werewolves, hearing the calls from deep within the cave, rushed over.

"We'll come back to save you, or none of you will escape," Anne shouted.

She ignored the children and hurriedly pulled out a dozen prank toys, throwing them all at Gabrielle. Then, from the safety watch, she pulled out the Nimbus 2001.

"Let's go!" Anne hugged Gabrielle and rode off quickly on a broomstick.

The air currents surged, causing the torches on the wall to sway precariously.

The fire is extinguished.

Only a werewolf who had fainted and a group of terrified children remained.

After flying for less than twenty seconds, Annie saw a group of wizards blocking her way.

Gabrielle threw dung balls and various smoke bombs from a distance in an attempt to disperse the group.

Several beams of light attacked at once, but Annie, caught in the middle, remained calm and spun around like a top, her broom tracing an arc as she narrowly avoided the curse.

Gabrielle sprayed a bubble gun, and several werewolves floated up. Annie sprinted forward, then made a loud bang. The broom slammed into her and sent her flying, crashing heavily seven or eight meters away, where she immediately fainted.

Using the force of the rebound, Annie Bo spun her broom, completed a half-circle in the air, stabilized it, and flew off to the other side.

"Oh no, they've gone to Starshine Pool," Jacob said, his face contorted with rage.

The so-called Starlight Pool is a deep pool formed by groundwater in a karst cave. There is a narrow opening in the water, and starlight falls on the surface of the water at night.

It is the place where werewolves perform their transformation rituals.

It is also the only exit besides the cave entrance.

Jacob the werewolf led a pack of werewolves out of the cave and saw Anne and Gabriel emerge from the cave entrance and fly into the sky.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and thick clouds filled the sky.

"Great, we escaped!" the two girls cheered.

But the flying broomstick had only flown a hundred or two meters when it was struck by a strong wind and fell uncontrollably toward the other side of the island.

"Don't chase them!" Jacob said coldly. "That beast's territory, she's about to give birth... those two girls are dead!"
