Retirement from Hogwarts

After flying forward in the direction pointed out by Brynhildr for a full two hours, a strange swamp with bubbles rolling around and emitting colorful steam blocked their way.Seeing this, Jack looked seriously and stopped Hermione who was about to move on. He used his wand to summon a ball of fire and floated towards a purple steam.Just when the flames came into contact with the steam column, the seemingly harmless steam instantly turned into a huge pillar of fire reaching into the sky.

"Brünnhilde, are you really sure this thing is in this direction?" Hermione's face became extremely ugly as she looked at the rapidly rising air toxicity readings collected by the exoskeleton after the fire pillar was ignited.

"Right over here." Brunhilde, who was wearing a special small exoskeleton, nodded vigorously. "The fireworks just now were so fun. Brother Jack, can you set one off?"

"Fireworks?" Jack's eyes lit up after hearing Brünnhilde's request, and then nodded. "Okay, let me light all these fireworks for you."

After he finished speaking, he took out a large number of dual-axis drones from his King's Treasure, installed ignition modules on them, and then operated them to fly toward the interior of the swamp from all directions.Soon, the entire swamp turned into a huge fireworks playground under the control of these drones. Fireworks followed Jack's progress and the music he put on the three-person public channel one after another in the swamp around them. The center lit up.

"It won't be a problem if we make such a big noise, right?" Hermione said uneasily as she looked at the flames around her. "There are more monsters in the swamps of the other world than just those that Professor Lupin taught in class. I once heard a sixth-grade senior say that one of her uncles even saw them during an adventure in the other world. Pass the legendary Hydra.”

Jack squeezed the frightened Hermione's hand in a comforting manner and explained: "Don't worry, this time is the same as when we escaped just now. Those drones also carried special smell canisters and infrared generators and were divided into multiple channels to distinguish them. Our road is not the fastest. Even if there are really strange things in the swamp, we will look for those fast drones with special smells and infrared characteristics."

It seemed like what Jack said, although many accidents happened to the surrounding drones, the monsters in the swamp did not find them until they reached the other side of the swamp.

"Well~ we finally came out." After walking out of the swamp, Hermione pulled off her helmet and let out a long breath. The walk in the swamp just now was so stressful that her heart almost burst from her chest. jumped out.I was afraid that if I made a wrong step, I would attract those swamp monsters that destroyed many drones. "I will never come to a ghost place like this again."

"Okay, Hermione, the swamp is actually not that scary." Jack, who was sitting on a boulder on the edge of the swamp, said to Hermione with a smile. "Most of the monsters in the swamp rely on smell and vibration to sense their prey. Our fully enclosed flying exoskeleton can perfectly suppress their sensing methods. There would be no problem in the first place."

"That's it." Hermione, who was sitting on the boulder with Jack, finally felt relieved after hearing his explanation.

bsp;At this time, Jack opened a bag of instant food, then broke off a piece and handed it to Hermione.He looked at the red moon that was about to set in the sky and said to Hermione. "Let's rest here for a while and then find a place to rest during the day."

"Why do we need to move at night?" Hermione asked with some confusion.According to the Inner World Adventure Guide she had read when she was bored, daytime should be the best time to take action.

"Generally, nocturnal monsters rely mostly on smell, vibration, low light and infrared vision to hunt. However, our exoskeleton can perfectly restrain these abilities. So compared to the daytime, when we can all detect each other, we can unilaterally The more secluded nights are more suitable for our actions here." Jack said as he opened another bag of instant food and handed it to Brynhildr, the snack foodie who ate more than the two of them combined.

"I don't want this." Brünnhilde pouted and turned her head to the side while looking at the food that Jack handed over, obviously dissatisfied with the food he provided. "I want to eat takoyaki."

"I know how to make takoyaki. But I'll find you a fresh octopus instead." Jack said dumbfounded after hearing the little girl's request.

"Is it okay if there is an octopus?" Brünnhilde's eyes lit up after hearing his words, and then she stared at Jack closely and asked.

"Of course, I think my barbecue skills are no worse than those of the chefs at home." Jack, who often goes to the Forbidden Forest to hunt for wild food, said confidently. "However, a material transmission system that can deliver supplies at any time without going through the Galaxy Train has not yet been developed, and I don't have any octopus ingredients with me at all. If you really want to eat it, the only thing you can eat is the dried organ squid in King's Treasure. . . ”

Before Jack could finish his sentence, Brünnhilde, who was sitting on top of him, had already risen into the sky with her eyes shining, and flew over the swamp.She cutely waved the magic wand decorated by Jack in the shape of a magic wand in her hand, and several chains composed of holy light quickly plunged into the bottom of the swamp under her command.After a while, the swamp began to churning rapidly.Finally, under the stunned gazes of Jack and Hermione, a huge swamp octopus was dragged out by Brynhildr's chain of holy light.

"Is it okay now?" Brünnhilde said happily after dragging the struggling octopus back to the two of them with a chain.

"Okay, okay." Jack wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then pulled out the ion sword equipped by Lloyd on Lancelot and quickly killed the octopus that was obviously lurking at the edge of the swamp, ready to sneak attack them. After cutting off the tentacles, I used a magic wand to turn them into diced octopus of a suitable size and roasted them on the newly raised flame.

"Now, can you eat it?" Brunhil looked at the squid on the flames with bright eyes and asked Jack again.

"Okay, okay." Jack finally gave a positive answer after the little girl asked again and again.

The light in Brünnhilde's eyes skyrocketed after hearing Jack's words, and she quickly took the skewers from Jack's hands, regardless of the temperature of the octopus meat, and quickly stuffed them into her mouth.
