Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

Chapter 95 Arsenal, the return of the children

Eric waved his hand, indicating that Grete no longer had to blame herself: "You have just awakened your magic power, so it is normal that you cannot control it. In our place, many young wizards cannot control their magic riots because they have no one to teach them. You turned into a monster called Obscurus before you were 11 years old. Compared to them, I think you are very lucky. At least I sensed a mark on you, which hid your magic power very well."

While the two siblings were taking a nap, Eric went down and sat in the tavern for a while and heard some general rumors.

The night before yesterday, the town's guards took the residents to the valley outside the town, captured a wizard couple, and burned them to death in the open space in front of the church.

Thinking of what Muriel said in the cave when she wanted to take his heart, combined with the identity in the mission prompt, and the story that Hansel told him privately about their siblings being abandoned by their parents the night before, Eric roughly They guessed the identity of the couple who were burned to death according to the residents.

These should be the parents of Hansel and Gretel.

Thinking of this, Eric looked at them with a trace of pity in his eyes. This was different from later generations, in which most orphans would be taken in by orphanages and could either grow up or be adopted.

In this medieval setting, the status of orphans is very miserable, especially since they are descendants of wizards. This status basically isolates their lives from normal people.

The three of them quickly arrived at the security office. Because almost everyone was out, there was only a short guard sitting at the door smoking a cigarette.

Seeing the children jumping out of the carriage, he quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand and walked towards them.

Since Eric and the others could kill witches, the guards were still in awe of him as a witch hunter and did not dare to neglect him when they saw him coming.

Knowing that he was coming to the police chief, ready to accept the reward to eradicate the witches in the surrounding mountains, the guard immediately became enthusiastic, but looking at the darkening sky outside, he also had a hesitant look on his face. He said with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Welfare, I'm sorry, our boss is not in the security office at the moment, and the mayor has also gone back. How about you come back tomorrow!"

"The Sheriff hasn't come back yet? That's great... Oh, no..." Eric smiled awkwardly, looked at the confused guard in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, looked into his eyes and said : "It's okay. Since the Sheriff hasn't come back yet, I'll just wait for him here for a while!"

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, the guard was in a trance for a moment, and the next moment his eyes became clear again. After a tangled expression on his face for a while, he smiled at Eric and got out of the way: "Then Okay, come with me, Mr. Foley, I’ll take you to sit in the Sheriff’s Office first.”

The guard enthusiastically brought the three people into the security office. In fact, the security office is not big and the design seems to be relatively simple. Half of each room is divided into a cell and the other half of the room is outside the cell. There was a crooked table and a few chairs inside.

The Sheriff's Office and the Mayor's Office were both on the second floor. When they walked up the creaking stairs, Eric saw the crooked words written on the narrow door between the Sheriff's and Mayor's offices. The word "arsenal".

"Is your arsenal so close to the mayor's office? Aren't you worried about any security risks?"

Eric asked out of curiosity and pointed at the arsenal: "And the door seems to be so narrow, so the room shouldn't be too big. Can anything be put inside?"

Seeing Eric's surprised and unfamiliar look, the guard who was opening the door of the Sheriff's Office laughed and introduced with pride: "You are wrong, our arsenal is quite large. Because the Og Empire not far away often comes to provoke us, so our town specially purchased a lot of arms from the Caesar Empire."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the narrow door that was only one body away from the door of the Sheriff's Office, and continued: "The reason why the door of this arsenal is so small is because our boss changed the design. There is only a small amount of ammunition stored in this room, but if you lift up the third floor at the entrance of this room, you will see a staircase, and go to the basement below, which is the real arsenal of our Public Security Department!"

Eric snorted and nodded clearly.

The guard in front of him finally opened the Sheriff's Office. Eric walked to the door and saw his sonic crossbow wrapped in a rag and placed on the Sheriff's desk.

"You guys just wait here for a while. The witches are outside at night, so the Sheriff and the others can't stay outside."

The guard smiled at Eric, turned around and walked to the bookshelf next to the office, turning his back to them and flipping through the files.

Looking at the guard's back, a wand slipped into Eric's hand.

Just as he was about to use magic to knock down the guard in front of him and take away the crossbow, the excited shouts of the residents suddenly came from the street.

"What happened?"

The guard instantly pulled out his gun and rushed out of the office window. He opened the window nervously and stretched out his head to look around. After a while, he pulled back again and said to Eric and the others with excitement: "Oh my God. Hey, the missing children are all back!"

The guard shouted excitedly and ran towards the door without looking at Eric and the other three.

Eric and the three of them also came to the window and looked at the chaotic scene on the street.

The guards who rode out of the city in the morning have all returned now. They originally left the city empty-handed, but now they are taking one or two children with them and galloping towards them from the street in the distance.Behind them, countless residents also ran out of the houses on both sides of the road, running to chase the guards on horseback.

Chief Hans took the lead, riding a black horse and quickly rushed to the security office. Eric's keen eyes saw the blond boy sitting in front of him. With just one glance, he could confirm that it was the boy who faced him in the cave that night. He warned the children.

With a move of his hand, the sonic crossbow flew into Eric's hand. He input the magic power into the crossbow. Watching the energy bar on the handle fill up, Eric whispered to the two people around him: "Let's go, get ready. Weapons, it’s time for us to leave.”

The unlocking spell easily opened the door of the arsenal. Eric picked a box of pistol ammunition and pretended to put it in his arms, but actually stuffed it into the system backpack.Then he put on a sling that could be equipped with a pistol and inserted the two revolvers into the holsters under his armpits.Eric, who was continuing to load the double-barreled shotgun, suddenly thought of the Whispering Pistol that had not been brought over, and felt a little regretful in his heart. With so many bullets, he could try its power.

Gretel and her brother also hurriedly grabbed a few guns each. Because their body was too thin, Hansel could only sling four or five pistol belts originally tied around his waist across his chest.

Hans Mellenwell stopped in front of the security office, jumped off the horse with the little boy in his arms, handed the child in his hand to the guard behind him, and told him to take Andre home quickly. Find his brother.

He turned around and grabbed the guard who had just rushed out from the security department, and asked anxiously: "The three children who brought the witch's body into the town this morning, do you know which hotel they are staying in?"

The guard glanced at his superior in surprise. Under his loud shout, the excitement in his brain suddenly disappeared without a trace.In front of Hans, his body trembled violently, as if he had just woken up from a big dream. He stretched out his hand towards the upstairs with a strange expression, pointed to his office and replied: "He just happened to come to you, I asked him Waiting in your office."

"Shet!"

Hans took out the revolver from his waist, opened the safety with a click, and shouted to the two guards behind him who had just jumped off the horse, stood firm on the dirt, and adjusted their saddles: "Dan, Bernie, pick up your weapons. follow me."

After the words fell, Chief Hans took the lead and rushed into the security office with his gun raised.
