Chapter 164: The Fierce Little Wizard

“Hey, why is Hermione here?”

Carefully approaching the stage along the obstacle, George couldn’t help but show a look of surprise on his face after seeing the hostages clearly.

Among the hostages, there were four adults and three children, one of whom was Hermione Granger.

He knew that Hermione also came to France for a vacation during the summer vacation, and they had exchanged letters once before.

But he remembered that the place Hermione traveled to in the letter was not Paris, but the wizards’ favorite French tourist destination, Dijon in eastern France.

“Old One-Eye, you have been surrounded. Hand over the hostages and put down your wands, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

The leading Auror, who was about forty years old, pointed his wand at a one-eyed old wizard opposite and warned him sternly.

The one-eyed old wizard pointed his wand at the hostage in his hand with a face full of sneers:
“Attack if you have the guts. Believe me, I will kill them before your magic hits me.

There are also three underage wizards here. Let’s see how you will explain this to your superiors when the time comes.”

As a dark wizard who had been wanted for more than twenty years but had never been caught, he had experienced similar scenes many times.

Basically, for the safety of the hostages, the other party will compromise.

A few years ago, there was a female Auror who was stubborn and unwilling to compromise. As a result, she killed fifty Muggles. In the end, the female Auror took the blame and was dismissed.

If the Auror Captain doesn’t want to be dismissed, there’s nothing you can do to him.

“Damn it!”

After hearing what the old one-eyed man said, the Auror captain obviously hesitated.

He was still careless. He didn’t expect the other party to be so vigilant. Their encirclement was just half completed when the other party discovered that they had taken hostages.

It doesn’t matter if we let it go now, or if we don’t let it go.

“Avada Kedavra!”

Seeing the Auror captain hesitate, the old one-eyed man actually pointed his wand directly at the fat adult wizard he was holding hostage and cast a killing curse.

The fat adult wizard was hit by the killing curse and died on the spot.

“You’re hesitating, huh? Then I’ll kill one every ten seconds until you agree!”

As he said this, he began to count down.

Less than five seconds into the countdown, the Auror Captain couldn’t hold on any longer.

“Okay, I can let you go, but you have to release half of the hostages first.

Otherwise, how can I be sure that you will release the hostages later? You have killed hostages many times before when you escaped.”

“You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.”

The old one-eyed man narrowed his eyes, obviously not wanting to give up half of the hostages in his hands.

The Auror Captain was not stupid either. He raised his wand and said firmly:
“Then I will keep you here today even if I have to risk being fired!”

“Okay, but you can’t leave this stage.”

Seeing that the Auror Captain was not easy to fool, the one-eyed old man rolled his eyes and finally signaled several of his men to release the three adult wizards among the remaining six and keep the three underage wizards who were better controlled.

Seeing this, the Auror Captain ordered the surrounding Aurors to make a gap.

The old one-eyed man held the three underage wizards hostage and slowly retreated towards the exit of the tent. As long as they were out of the tent, they could use Apparition to escape from the Magic Street, and it would be difficult for the Aurors to catch up with them.

“This is not a solution.”

Seeing that the old one-eyed man and several other dark wizards were holding Hermione and the other three little witches hostage and getting closer and closer to the exit of the tent, George began to think.

Hermione was his friend after all, so he couldn’t just stand by and watch them die. Besides, he wanted to see if he could get any clues about ancient magic from the old one-eyed man, so he naturally couldn’t just let them get away like that.

“Oh, right, the mirror!”

At this time, George saw a mirror standing at the exit of the tent, and he immediately had an idea.

He walked quickly into the dressing room behind the nearest stage, found a mirror and chanted a spell:

“Mirror World, open!”

He pointed the wand at the mirror, and ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror instantly, and then he dived into it.

His panda clone in the Magician Apprentice world was not idle during this period. In addition to meditating to improve his magician level, he also learned several magics including mirror world and mimicry transformation.

Now he could make use of the magic of the mirror world and ambush in the mirror at the exit in advance, and suddenly rush out when those dark wizards holding hostages passed by, and rescue Hermione and the other two hostages.

Entering the mirror world, everything here is exactly the same as outside the mirror, except that there is no life and all objects are reversed.

He accelerated to the entrance of the tent and waited patiently in the mirror.

About thirty seconds later, the old one-eyed man and his five dark wizards, holding Hermione and two other underage witches hostage, finally walked to the mirror at the entrance of the tent.

The Aurors were about to leave the tent when a little boy of about eleven or twelve suddenly emerged from the mirror next to them.

“Except your weapons!”

After George rushed out of the mirror, he immediately waved the wand in his right hand, used the disarming spell to knock away the wand of the dark wizard who was holding Hermione hostage, and knocked him away.

At the same time, his left hand was not idle either. He used all his strength to blow away the dark wizard who was holding another little witch hostage.

The force of his full-strength slap now weighs at least four thousand pounds. If it weren’t for the wizard’s special physique, he would have gone straight to see his great-grandmother after receiving such a slap.

“Avada Kedavra!”

George’s sudden appearance obviously caught these dark wizards off guard.

But they were all experienced in combat and reacted very quickly. The remaining three dark wizards, except the one-eyed wizard, cast the Killing Curse at George at the same time.

However, George’s body was even more agile than a cat. He easily dodged the three killing curses with a single step and counterattacked the moment he bent down.

One was the second disarming spell cast by the right-hand wand, and the other was the light magic arrow shot out from the magic circle.

The opponents obviously didn’t expect George to be able to dodge three killing curses and even launch a counterattack. They didn’t react in time, and one of them was knocked away by the Disarming Curse on the spot, and the other had his right hand holding the wand pierced by a light arrow.

At this point, the three little witches including Hermione were all rescued, leaving only the last dark wizard’s subordinate and the old one-eyed man.

But at this time George also discovered something strange.

That was the old one-eyed man who had been on guard since the raid, but he did not launch any attack from beginning to end. Instead, he kept muttering spells that he could not understand.

You have to know that Amy’s strength is not weak. This old one-eyed man was able to defeat Amy and take away her wand, so his strength is naturally not weak. He shouldn’t have no reaction until now.
