Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 259 The Wall of St. Peter

Someone glared at Murphy; it was a German.

He stood up and shoved the glass over his shoulder. "What if you don't drink it?"

As he spoke, he pulled a wand from his left sleeve and held it in his hand.

It seems that Murphy isn't the only one who knows to carry an extra wand.

"My lord, I still advise you to reconsider," said Ivan the Great.

"No need to consider it anymore, I won't be threatened by you!"

Ivan took a sip of his drink, placed it on the table, and said, "Sophie, this is yours now."

After speaking, the Grand Duke left the stage, along with his son Ras.

The man in military uniform stepped onto the stage. "The Grand Duke didn't make himself clear, so I'll say it again. Drink this cup of wine, then take your things and get out of here, or... you'll die here."

"You dare lay a hand on us? Do you know who I am...?"

Before the German could say anything more, the air around him suddenly twisted, and a knight in armor, wielding a greatsword, appeared behind him. The greatsword was raised and then lowered.

"Crack!" A perfectly healthy head rolled to the ground.

"W-Who are you?!" The messengers were in a panic, but the armored knight had already disappeared again.

Even Murphy was stunned.

What kind of magic is this?

Could that knight from earlier also be some kind of "ancestral spirit"?

Sophie spoke again, "Leave, or die?"

"I'll drink, I'll drink..." Someone immediately chickened out, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Let me go."

Sophie actually didn't make things difficult for him anymore; in fact, a servant brought him a package and saw him off.

At that moment, the figure of an envoy flickered and suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Sophie looked at him. "Trying to escape? Don't you know that, apart from the Sky Terrace, spirit realm travel is strictly prohibited here on the mountaintop?"

The term "spirit world travel" is actually the name used by the wizards of the Su Kingdom for spatial teleportation techniques such as "phantom teleportation".

To protect the royal family and prevent the palace from being invaded at will, spatial transfer is prohibited near the top of the mountain in Alkaim, except for the specially reserved "Sky Terrace". Ivan's residence is also within the restricted area.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, and that they would die if they didn't drink the wine, the remaining people finally gave up and drank it, even though it was indeed poisoned. They were then sent away one by one.

Soon, only Murphy remained in the courtyard.

"What's your choice, Mr. Murphy Darkholm?" Sophie asked.

"I don't really like being forced to do things," Murphy said.

"Really?" Sophie didn't try to dissuade her further. "That's a real shame."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an armored knight appeared behind Murphy and slashed with his sword.

But Murphy had anticipated this. The moment the knight appeared, he turned around abruptly, his fingers extending into sharp claws, which he thrust out like javelins, piercing the knight's neck with a sickening thud.

With his other hand, he grabbed the iron head and twisted it, thus removing the knight's head.

He looked at the blood in his hand. "It seems it wasn't a spirit. It was a living person?"

But if spatial teleportation is restricted, how did he appear behind him?

Illusionary Body Technique?

A body illusion technique that leaves no trace or sound?

That's pretty impressive.

"You really are different," Sophie said. "When they said you killed Alexei, I didn't quite believe it, but you are indeed different from ordinary wizards. How did you acquire this ability to manipulate things locally?"

Murphy had no time for words. He transformed into lightning and appeared behind the other person, grabbing down. However, the figure in front of him flickered and disappeared. He didn't feel like he had hit anything solid.

At the same time, a strange color flashed at the edge of his field of vision, and he instinctively reached out his hand, "Armor protection!"

"Bang!" A giant sword slammed into the pale golden light barrier. It was a knight, half of whose figure seemed to still be hidden in the void, while the other half appeared as a chaotic color under Murphy's four-color vision.

Having missed his target, the knight sheathed his sword and vanished once more.

Murphy also transformed into lightning and flashed a distance. With a "bang!", a sword struck the spot where he had just stood.

Another knight!

But before he could even be surprised, another fist came flying from nowhere, and Murphy immediately flew into the air, dodging the attack.

He got it.

This courtyard was crammed with invisible knights!

But why a knight and not...?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw a flash of light below. He immediately used the Armor Spell again to block a wind blade that seemed to come from nowhere.

Damn, you're playing dirty tricks, aren't you!

A bunch of sneaky old foxes are using invisibility cheats!

But how come this illusion spell is so powerful? It doesn't even reveal itself when attacking?

It doesn't matter, we can just clear the area outright if necessary.

He had been waiting so long because he was waiting for his pre-animation to finish. The next instant, countless bolts of lightning lit up the sky; those were the lightning crows he had released while he was dawdling.

They once again formed an antenna array in the air, and Murphy's will synchronized with it. The next instant, his magic frequency was tuned, his eyes instantly turned golden, and lightning surged around him. "Thunderstorm!"

He himself is still down there. If you use a spell like Avada Kedavra, he won't be able to withstand it. But it's much easier to clear the area using lightning, which he is immune to.

The bright moonlight was immediately obscured by thick dark clouds, and then, rolling thunderbolts crashed down like countless lightning arrows.

However, the scene of lightning striking everywhere that Murphy had anticipated did not appear. In the next instant, all the lightning arrows were blocked by a thin, transparent barrier more than a hundred feet above the ground.

"Boom!" Thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts exploded like a hundred suns rising at the same time, illuminating the night more brightly than daytime.

Immediately, the deafening roar nearly deafened Murphy as well.

The Wall of St. Peter!

Hemp egg!

He hadn't forgotten about it; he had already tested it before. The Lightning Raven could pass through the barrier completely freely, even living creatures could pass through, so there was no reason why an electric charge couldn't pass through.

It actually managed to stop the lightning.

What kind of logic is this?

"Is this the move you used to kill Alexei?" Sophie's voice rang out again from below. "It is indeed a terrifying power, but no attack can break through the Wall of St. Peter. You can't use that move here."

attack?

In other words, can this barrier also determine whether something is an attack?

How about giving Avada Kedavra a try?

Murphy gave up on the idea of ​​clearing the area outright.

According to them, the Wall of St. Peter has existed since the city was first built, and must be at least several hundred years old. Its defensive capabilities are ridiculously strong, and even the "Avada Kedavra Cannon" might not be effective. As for an attack like the Star Destroyer Cannon, he can basically only launch one hit.

It's best to keep this trump card; in case things don't go smoothly, he can still use it as a last resort.

With his ultimate skill restricted and the enemy lurking in the shadows, he's in a bit of a predicament. And why does this guy seem to know him so well, like he's waiting for him to come to him?

"You were prepared?" Murphy asked, puzzled.

"Do you think Felipe Carlos was lured away by Lady Jaga?" Sophie looked up at him. "Lady Jaga wanted to keep him in check, and don't we also want to keep Lady Jaga in check?"

"Otherwise, we might not have been able to kill you."
