Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

There is a river in Britain's largest colony, and the river is filled with dead bodies floating down the river all year round.

There is also a river in the capital of Britain, and according to the urban legends of this big city, there are actually many inexplicable "people who have fallen into the water" in this river.

As the largest city in the world today, London's dense population and poor working environment make it very credible.

And Bourne, the three dwarf brothers, as well as Sherlock and a whole team of Aurors who arrived here belatedly, all became witnesses to this "strange story".

Men and women.

The elderly and children.

They may have had different identities and statuses during their lives, but now they have a unified name.

"Inferi!"

Mr. Longbottom, the director of the Auror Office, first yelled, revealing the terrifying identity of this large group of "people in the river".

Then, he immediately whispered to himself in shock: "How is it possible?"

It wasn't that he doubted how there could be so many corpses in the Thames in the 18th century, but he couldn't understand why the Inferi would emerge from a sea of ​​fire.

Inferi are afraid of fire.

This is common knowledge that circulates in certain circles.

Every wizard who aspires to become an Auror must have answered related questions in the NEWT exam or the written test before becoming an Auror.

It was not until some Inferi wandered to the shore that Director Longbottom realized that what he thought was actually correct, and even frowned in disgust.

Those Inferi have definitely not appeared recently, but have probably been hiding in this place for a long time.

Because every one of them is covered with river bottom silt and "suspended matter" that is common in some Thames rivers——

Human and animal excrement, torn sailcloth, soaked hemp rope, soaked waste newspapers, etc.

When they stepped on the river bank, their countless pairs of wet feet soon turned the muddy ground covered with dirty snow on the bank into a large swamp.

At the same time, a biting chill that originated not from physiology but from psychology instantly wrapped around the hearts of most people who witnessed this scene.

This is not just due to inner fear, but because they are affected by magic.

Dark magical creatures like the Inferi are "born" to spread soul-freezing chills, and when they gather in large enough numbers - for example, like now, hundreds of them crawl out from the bottom of the Thames River. Inferi - qualitative changes in energy changes.

A large number of Inferi emit coldness together, which can change part of the physical reality, causing people who are close to them to suffer frostbite, or even freeze to death directly.

Director Longbottom did not need to remind him that all the Auror members from the Ministry of Magic jumped off their broomsticks and cast magic on the army of Inferi in front of them.

Considering the number of this wave of Inferi, they could no longer adopt the hit-and-run tactics and could only do their best to eliminate them all on the river beach.

No one of these dark magical creatures can be let go.

Because if one is let go, the uncontrolled Inferi will turn into the kind of "zombies" in urban ghost stories. They will bite and infect one "child body" after another in the nearby Muggle community. All of London would be in panic.

By then, things will be really difficult to deal with.

The magical world and the wizarding community, the "Law of Secrecy", one of the cornerstones of their existence, will surely be impacted by a storm.

After all, it is still the 18th century, and it will be nearly a hundred years before Newt Scamander uses the magical animal Thunderbird to cleanse the memory of Muggles in a city (New York).

In today's magical world, it's not that there is no technology for such large-scale memory cleaning...

All I can say is: true! without! have!

"The flames are blazing!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Secure and safe!"

Aurors have all received professional training, and they work well with each other.

Some people are responsible for serving as arrows, invading the dense formation of large groups of Inferi; some are responsible for finishing the damage, using explosive spells to clean up the residual blood of the Inferi that are "dancing" in the flames; some are responsible for creating obstacles on both sides of the team to avoid being surrounded by the zombies. Samosa Triangle; someone is responsible for protection, providing everyone with a magic shield against the cold air of black magic, and avoiding the scratching and biting of the Inferi that luckily escapes the team.

If the future Dumbledore were here and saw the performance of these Aurors, the greatest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts would also be a little surprised.

Because the methods used by these Aurors to deal with the Inferi were really similar to his.

However, these Aurors relied on cooperation with each other. Many people used different spells to fight together, and Dumbledore would only use a super powerful spell with compound effects-Vulcan to clear the way.

Of course, because magic is too idealistic and this skill requires too much talent, it is difficult for wizards to measure strength by whether "there is strength in numbers." And these Aurors are indeed not as good as the future Headmaster Dumbledore.

At the beginning, they did achieve a very impressive effect, but they were unable to light all the Inferi into torches in one go.

As they continued to cast spells, these Aurors gradually exposed the gap between elite wizards and top wizards: their magic power could not keep up.

A large amount of magic power will be consumed, which will cause the wizard's physical strength to decrease rapidly. After the physical strength decreases, the quality and quantity of the wizard's spells will be greatly affected by this.

Although it only took more than ten seconds for these Aurors to clean up at least more than a hundred Inferi, when the endless stream of Inferi came like a wave, even the real reef could not withstand it. What's more, they are just a few mortals with flesh and blood?

The blazing flames, from the tail flames of jet engines at the beginning, gradually degenerated into gas stoves.

What was originally a series of chain explosions gradually turned into two kicks that only sounded after a while.

And when the magic shield formed by the "Safe Guard Spell" was squeezed through by an Inferi with its swollen ugly face for the first time, the Aurors' stable triangle attack formation was about to be broken into a ball of sand.

Director Longbottom had to leave the scene personally, while disapparating while reinforcing various Auror members who were about to be unable to withstand the pressure.

Sherlock, as a wizard detective, is not particularly good at using magic to inflict violence on his enemies. What he is doing is constantly performing deformation spells on the carriage that is carrying them, trying to transform it into a suitable Crash your way through enemy lines.

Dr. Watson is also helping, and his firepower is even higher than that of Sherlock.

His defensive revolver never stopped firing like a bean. He held the gun in both hands and raised his arms to aim, trying to increase the range and stability of the gun when shooting.

After firing all the spare bullets in his pocket, he hit the heads of seven or eight Inferi with more than thirty bullets. Sherlock told him that the only way to deal with such dark magical creatures would be to shoot them in the head. .

Gregers and Old John had nothing to do. They were really not the type to fight the Inferi with sticks. After all, the batons they hold cannot shoot magic like wands.

"Sherlock, what can you do? You'd better hurry up. We may have to come into contact with this kind of living dead." Looking at the several inferi slowly approaching, Dr. Watson turned the pistol with all the bullets and prepared to shoot it. It is used as a hammer.
