Luckily the main story is at Hogwarts

"Roar!"

The effect of the Dragon Binding Curse is undoubted. With the two wizards Ciel and Dumbledore taking full action, Maleficent has completely lost the ability to resist.

She was pressed to the ground by the huge shackles, blood slowly seeped out from under the dragon scales, and her voice became weak.

Dumbledore concentrated on maintaining the Dragon Binding Curse.

This spell was also his first time trying it, but as a powerful white wizard, the effect he used was no weaker than Ciel's, or even slightly stronger.

He observed the dragon in front of him with great interest.

Dumbledore knew her, the witch Maleficent.

Ciel invited him to join the battle and gave him a brief account of some information, which for the knowledgeable Dumbledore could already determine a lot of things.

There are some more memories about the Witch Empire in his head, but it doesn't mean that his previous experiences and memories are gone.

As expected, this child has a deep connection with the fairy tale world.

Dumbledore also knew about the world of fairy tales. He also went to Wonderland when he was young, and even had interactions and fights with the original Maleficent.

He was not surprised why Maleficent appeared again, because Dumbledore also knew the characteristics of the fairy tale world, which was undoubtedly chaotic.

However, he was not very optimistic about Ciel's plan.

Go deep behind enemy lines, capture the thief and capture the king, seduce Maleficent into a dragon, and then use a targeted dragon-binding spell to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. If there is any enemy interference along the way, then just kill him in one go.

To be honest, after hearing Ciel's plan, Dumbledore almost felt that the other party had learned his sense of humor.

And when he figured out that Ciel wasn't joking, he had the rare feeling that he had an old problem in his heart and wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Dumbledore quickly forgave Charles.

He admitted that the other party was a genius, a genius no less powerful than Tom or even Gellert. He might even have broken the curse of the Obscurial on his own.

After all, in the future he saw, Ciel was still alive. Since he was alive, he must have broken the Obscurial young wizard's curse of not surviving to adulthood.

But even if you are a genius, many things require time to accumulate.

Such as combat experience.

This kind of plan is not called a plan, nor is a duel between magicians. However, Dumbledore did not stop it, because he thought it would be good to make Ciel suffer a little.

After all, they will face an entire magic empire in the future.

but..

Looking at Maleficent struggling helplessly under the dragon-binding curse, Dumbledore's gray eyebrows raised slightly.

I have to admit that this guy did an unexpectedly good job. He went deep behind enemy lines to confront the witch directly, forced Maleficent to transform into a dragon, and then used the Dragon Binding Curse to suppress her together.

It all seemed to go incredibly smoothly.

Regardless of how Ciel did it, whether by coincidence or luck, there is no denying that he just did it.

When he was young, Dumbledore also fought against Maleficent. The latter was actually very difficult to deal with, and even the young Dumbledore was somewhat defeated.

Before coming here, Dumbledore had already thought about how he would save the situation if Ciel's plan failed.

When he was young, he was defeated by Maleficent, but it was hard to say now. Of course, at the worst, he was sure to escape with Ciel and others intact.

But now it seems that it is no longer useful.

.. Not necessarily, because according to Ciel, the enemy they faced in this battle was not just Maleficent, a witch.

………………

"Tsk... I can't tell, that guy is quite powerful."

Grace limped and led Elsa to find a higher point. She took out the monocular from the tactical pocket on her waist and looked at the battle in the ruins.

Being able to suppress such a big dragon in such a short period of time, Grace had to admit that these so-called wizards still have a lot of skills.

She handed the binoculars to Elsa.

The latter hesitated for a moment, took it, then curiously put it in front of his eyes and looked into the distance.

Having the same sense as Hermione, Elsa certainly knew what this thing was, but she only saw it from magazines and books. This was the first time she had seen the real thing.

Grace looked at the slightly excited Elsa.

"Are you a princess?"

she asked.

"It's the queen."

"So he is your court mage, the chief mage of the kingdom or something."

"No, he is a good friend of a good friend of mine."

As a mercenary, Grace had never seen anything bad. She immediately understood the true meaning of Aisha's words.

"So he is your best friend's boyfriend, or husband."

"..Yes."

"Can I know your name?"

"My name is Elsa."

"I'm Grace."

Spying intelligence is also one of the professional skills of mercenaries. Grace knows too little about Ciel.

Her intuition told her that maybe she would have to deal with Ciel less often in the future, so whether it was because they could cooperate better with each other, or to leave a trump card and a way out for herself, she should get more information. .

Grace is not opposed to a deal with Ciel.

Although they may suffer heavy losses this time, many people will die, and even she herself almost confessed to being here, but they are mercenaries. How can they not die? If you are afraid of death, don't become a mercenary.

As long as the other party keeps his word, is not tricked, and gets the money he deserves, then this is the fate of the mercenary.

In contrast, Charles is generous. He gives money readily and is really generous.

Mercenaries are meant to make money, and in order to make money, they will even take on some very dark and unscrupulous tasks, let alone tasks like Shire where the employer's status is relatively special and dangerous.

Charles is a wizard, but in fact, this is not a big deal in Grace's eyes, as long as he can make money.

This is the essence of mercenaries.

So after meeting Aisha, a little white flower who seemed to have no experience, Grace immediately prepared to get some information from her.

And the inexperienced Elsa is certainly no match for Grace.

"So you are called Elsa, and your best friends are Rapunzel, Snow White, and Aurora..."

Listening to Aisha's story, Grace didn't know what expression she should show.

The name Elsa might be a little unfamiliar to her... She doesn't look like a girl who listens to the Snow Queen's fairy tale before going to bed, but the names Snow White and Rapunzel are too famous.

They are popular fairy tales.

Elsa didn't think there was any problem. They also knew their own fairy tales, but they had long passed the period of fussing about being written into a storybook.

In their view, this is not their future, but more like a story created out of thin air inspired by their names.

"Okay, now I can understand why I feel like I'm acting in a third-rate stage play."

Grace shrugged and said helplessly.

Because they are truly a fairy tale stage play!

"So...you are the Queen of Arendelle, and you live in Arendelle."

The exchange continues.

"..."

".."

"What? You said all the princesses live in a magic tree house and he's the only one besides the princess who also lives there?"

Grace looked surprised.

In the intermittent conversations, Grace extracted some information, but it was basically useless because Aisha herself did not know the so-called key information.

However, a lot of personal things about Charles were revealed.

Grace had a strange expression.

Although she is not Ciel's type, her appearance is average, and she is cruel and ruthless, with a unique temperament. However, she is a mercenary. Of course, she has no time for love, but she still needs to vent.

She knew the man very well...just like she knew exactly what Ciel was up to.

She didn't believe that Charles helped these princesses in vain just because he was a simple good person!

But Grace didn’t say much.

Just when she was about to ask Elsa closer, she suddenly saw the battle situation in the ruins through the telescope, and there were new changes.

Because another person appeared next to Charles.

A witch.
