Great time travel

Chapter 68, The Return and the End

January 1349, 1, Oxford, Kingdom of England

There were scorched marks everywhere, ruined walls, dead bodies all over the field, lingering smoke, crying and wailing.

When the twilight morning light once again illuminated the earth, the cottage version of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry established by the traversers on the site of the former Oxford University had turned into a pile of dilapidated ruins, and the surrounding urban buildings were also destroyed. Tragedy.Even at dawn, many buildings in downtown Oxford were still embers of fire, and plumes of black smoke rose from the cracks that were shaken open, making the survivors who had escaped the catastrophe into a mess.

The graduation ceremony and New Year's Eve banquet, which was originally joyous and noisy, turned into such a bloody tragedy that made people weep.

——The buildings destroyed were far more than the auditorium and banquet hall of Hogwarts College—in fact, half of Oxford was razed to the ground!

Unlucky Hufflepuff head Anne and Gryffindor head Jolick, who had already passed out due to drinking too much alcohol, failed to save themselves in time, and unfortunately died in the big explosion in the banquet hall.Although Queen Joan, who is also the head of Ravenclaw, did not suffer much physical damage, she was first forcibly dragged by the Romanian silver-haired twins and Miss Ma Tong to watch the bloody horror movie in the middle of the night, and then witnessed this earth-shattering The bombing tragedy, he was mentally overstimulated for a while, and is still in a trance, forced to rest in bed...

Only Boccaccio, the head of Slytherin, happened to leave the banquet hall drunkenly with three Ravenclaw girls in his arms on the eve of the explosion, and returned to his residence to have sex together. Jie—except that he was so frightened that he became impotent on the spot and almost had a seizure right away.

At this time, he seemed to be the commander-in-chief of disaster relief. With a hoarse voice against the howling cold wind, he continued to lead the surviving students to venture deep into the ruins, search for the wounded and rescue them. He was wearing a beautiful robe covered with lace☆ It was as messy as a rag, crumpled and out of shape.

In addition, the aristocratic gentry of the Kingdom of England who received the news, under the urgent call of the "angel", also brought people here through the [random door], ready to participate in the rescue.However, there were also some gangsters who sneaked into the city to take advantage of the fire, robbed the refugees of their belongings, and even took away their children, making them cry loudly... The originally elegant and quiet Oxford University City was as noisy and chaotic as a medieval European battlefield barracks. .

But, at the end of the day, how the hell did this New Year's Eve explosion happen?

Although such explosions have long been common in the modern world in the future, you must know that this is only the middle of the fourteenth century. It stands to reason that Europeans have just learned of the oldest gunpowder formula through the transfer of Arabs. Not even the most primitive artillery equipment, how could it be possible to have such a high-tech bomb terrorist attack that razed a building to the ground in an instant?

Well, this... Strictly speaking, it seems to be the sin of Doraemon and other visitors from other worlds...

After the disaster broke out, the English court in London mobilized all reliable manpower as quickly as possible, and came to Oxford to carry out the rescue mission.And the Pope of Avignon, the Queen of Naples who lives in Provence, as well as the top figures in Florence and members of the Great Council of Venice, also came to check the situation of the students in their country through the [random door], and they were going to sit down together. Call an emergency emergency meeting.

In the courtyard behind the Ravenclaw tower, a large open space has been cleared by rescuers, and several tents were urgently set up to be used as a temporary hospital.Numerous family members of the wounded crowded outside the barbed wire isolation zone in horror, looking helplessly at their relatives who had long been unknown. They were carried into the tents with the red cross painted on them, and they prayed for God's blessing with tears.

An occasional moan of feeble distress, or a murmur of "This guy is beyond help" can trigger a few nervous family members to collapse and pass out, and several babies lying in the arms of their mothers. , also issued bursts of crying, making the atmosphere here extremely depressing.

Most of the wounded who were burned by the fire had already been ripped apart, their skin was scorched black, and they fell into a state of shock. Most of the survivors picked out from the ruins were also bloody and horrible, and there were countless broken hands and feet.Even in modern hospitals in the 21st century, it is quite difficult to deal with such injuries. Although anesthesia can be injected for pain relief, a large amount of body fluids can be replenished, wounds can be disinfected and bandaged, and other anti-infection treatments are available, but whether the wounded can survive will ultimately be determined. It still depends on personal will... Fortunately, although it is the 22th century when medical technology is extremely backward, thanks to the power of the traversers, you European wounded in the Middle Ages are fortunate to enjoy medical services at the technical level of the [-]nd century...

"...Meow! Something more dazzling than the sun, something cuter than a holy cat, appear in the stream of time, in your great name, I swear in this light, to these Lambs who believe in the Lord, give equal salvation meow! Group healing meow! (Japanese)”

Accompanied by the Hogwarts students' voices copied from the [Encyclopedia of Magic], which can be called malicious and cute Japanese spells, balls of warm holy white light fell from the sky like waterfalls, pouring into those humming Haw's wounded instantly eliminated the germs on everyone's body, healed their bones, skin and internal organs, brought them light, warmth and vitality, and replenished their energy and physical strength.

In this way, after the healing spell is over, no matter how seriously injured the person is, as long as he is still breathing when he is carried in, he will heal quickly at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, and he will soon fully recover. After bathing in the holy light, they all felt waves of warm current pouring directly into their internal organs, filled with inexhaustible vitality... Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the family members, one after another was bruised and bruised. The wounded, who were dying, sat up one after another as if nothing had happened, and were hugged tightly by the tearful wives, children, relatives and friends, weeping.Everywhere is filled with excitement and joy, and the warmest thanks and cheers...

However, in the face of the corpses that had died when they were carried in, even the "healing technique" could not bring them back to life.

Therefore, in the jubilant atmosphere of the rest of the catastrophe, you could occasionally hear a few desperate and mournful cries, and then a few dejected guys with blank expressions pushed a stretcher covered with a white cloth to push away the crowd, and then Put it in the open space outside the barrier.Next, one or several family members of women and children would jump up next to the stretcher, kneel down half-kneeling regardless of the filth, clutching the edge of the stretcher with both hands, crying like hell.

In addition, while these survivors were being saved, others were dying: the English soldiers and the Pope's guards who were ordered to come to Oxford to maintain order, soon erected a row of gallows on the banks of the Thames, and made a huge impact on the ruins of Oxford. The caught pickpockets and robbers carry out the collective death penalty—there is no trial and defense, no record of wills and dying prayers, just hang the prisoners on the shelf and pull the gangway to fall, and it’s over. Breathing out... There is no way, it is common sense both in ancient and modern China and abroad to be ruthless and use heavy codes in a chaotic situation.

In normal times, spectating executions has always been a popular entertainment for the masses, and the gallows would have already been surrounded by all kinds of idlers and spectators of all kinds, and there might even be pickpockets and peddlers taking advantage of the opportunity.But at this moment of sorrow and destruction, no one cares about the death of these sinners at all. Their corpses can only hang on the gallows lonely, dancing "tap dance" with the wind...

On the other hand, Paladin Li Wei, who hadn't slept all night and worked continuously for more than ten hours, sat on a broken stone pillar with a dull expression, his messy hair like a chicken coop was covered with a lot of dust , his bloodshot eyes were staring blankly at the ground... Opposite him stood a surviving Hogwarts College teacher, stammering and reporting to Li Wei the number of casualties just calculated.

——The number of casualties is actually just the number of dead and missing.Under the heaven-defying curative effect of [Healing Technique], all the wounded who still have breath can be rescued as long as they can survive and bathe in the holy light.Those who cannot be rescued are naturally dead.

"... Hehe, so to speak, in the disaster last night, our Hogwarts College died suddenly two deans, three teachers, at least 150 students, two teachers and more than 100 students There were more than 200 servants, prostitutes, musicians, and singers in the banquet hall at that time, but only ten survived. In addition, there were more than [-] Oxford citizens Because of the bombardment of [Meteor Fire Shower] and [Dragon Breaker], as well as the spread of the fire, they died or disappeared... At least [-] houses were reduced to ashes..."

After listening to the other party's stuttering and incoherent report, and then synthesizing the news from other people, Li Wei gritted his teeth, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said almost word by word, "...and such a huge catastrophe But it was just because two Gryffindor students were openly jealous at the New Year's banquet in order to compete for the favor of a popular prostitute, and fought each other with God-given spells? Damn it! Do these bastards know What are you doing? How dare they waste the power bestowed by the gods?! This is simply a crime of blasphemy!!"

"...that...Master Paladin, I think they should have been drunk long before they took action, and they don't know anything."

——Well, I should have thought of it earlier. Judging from the reputation of British football hooligans in the future, what incredible stupid things will these British guys do once they master the powerful magic?No wonder the magicians described in western fantasy novels often have to abstain from alcohol...

Looking at the pile of building wreckage that has been reduced to rubble and ruins not far away, Li Wei couldn't help but rubbed his temples with throbbing veins, thinking so.
