Feeling the light around him suddenly dim, he instinctively turned around.
In the sky outside the base, a huge khaki-colored ball of light appeared, almost dimming the sunlight.
what is that?
Before consciousness could react, the ball of light began to change.
The light slowly faded, revealing an oval stone of jaw-dropping size.
All the soldiers subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked up blankly at the rocks that blocked out the sun and cast shadows over the entire military base.
what is this?
Meteor? Meteorite?
I remember that meteorites should fall very quickly and carry fire, right?
Is that the end of the world?
But hasn’t the rumored 2012 doomsday happened many years ago?
The soldiers and the secretary's minds were in confusion and they didn't know what they were thinking.
The director also wanted to ask these questions, but he didn't ask them. It seemed that he heard the old man's voice whispering in his ears.
"This is the magic you wish to see."
Chapter 149 The Boulder Falls
A convoy of more than a dozen camouflaged military jeeps was driving quickly along the straight asphalt road that stretched across the grassland.
Toby sat in the passenger seat of the lead car, holding a mobile phone in hand, reporting the situation to the director in the office.
“Yes, Rowling is the granddaughter of the headmaster of Hogwarts.
I have reported it many times, it is you... OK, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Toby turned his head and reminded Ryan, who was owling on his shoulder from time to time, "Keep your eyes straight ahead when driving. Do you want to have an accident?"
"Sorry." Retracting his gaze, Ryan asked, "What are the director's orders?"
"We must do everything we can to bring Ms. Rowling back to our new base. If she insists on not letting her go, we must at least ensure her personal safety."
As he spoke, he frowned and said, "If something happens to Ms. Rowling, I'm worried..."
"Are you worried that the magician might do something drastic?"
Nodding, Toby said with worry in his tone: “I had a contact with that Mr. Dumbledore.
Unlike the information isolation you imagine, he is very familiar with our world.
Coupled with the mysterious invisibility magic, it is possible that when our upper echelons were holding secret meetings, he was standing aside and watching openly. "
"Invisibility magic?" Ryan was shocked. "Doesn't that mean..."
"What do you want to do?"
"Uh, just thinking about it."
"As a royal agent, I can't even think about it!"
"Mr. Toby." Leon in the back seat saw that the two were talking further and further away, and couldn't help but open his mouth to pull the topic back, "We are now discussing how to rescue Ms. Rowling.
And what will happen if Mr. Magician gets angry. "
"Yes, that's right, that's right." Toby realized that he had gone off topic and steadied his wandering thoughts, "Anyway.
Like I just said, do whatever it takes to get Ms. Rowling out.
She refused, and we had to make sure she was safe.”
"Do they have the guts to resist the orders of the Royal Guards?" Clessie turned around and looked through the rear windshield at the fully armed soldiers in the car behind him.
"Little guy, power is not as simple as you imagine." Ryan explained with a smile, "There is a powerful person behind them.
I dare not confront Her Majesty the Queen openly, but I can still find some excuses to push back the order for a while."
Obviously, Leon and Claysie couldn't understand what was meant.
After pondering it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he threw it aside and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the wizards of Hogwarts would not break with all humans because of the stupid actions of a few people.
That would cause your interview letter to become a piece of waste paper, and the magic would be gone forever.
magic?
Leon suddenly remembered that Toby said he had witnessed magic with his own eyes: “Mr. Toby, you have seen a magician perform magic, right?”
"Yes." Toby's gaze towards the front of the car became dazed, as if he was lost in the memories of that time.
"He raised his wand slightly, and it was as if an invisible hand covered my mouth. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open it.
Then he raised his right hand, and a bright, hot ball of fire swirled around me."
"Toby." Ryan interrupted him, "If magic can only release fireballs, but can't rescue us...is it dark?"
Ryan, who was speaking from the side, felt that the light around him suddenly dimmed.
Subconsciously, I thought that it was just past 10 o'clock when the convoy left Lundun, and it would soon arrive at the military base, at the latest around noon.
Why is it dark now?
Limited by the jeep's field of view, he couldn't see what was happening in the sky: "Toby, is there a total solar eclipse today?"
"No..." Toby stuck his head out of the car window and moved his lips, "Yes, it's magic!"
"magic?!"
Ryan was extremely surprised. He didn't expect to see magic so soon.
He stepped on the brakes to stop the jeep, pushed the door open hastily, got out and looked up, then the smile on his face froze.
What Ryan imagined was the mystery, romance, magnificence and novelty of magic.
He had instinctively guessed at the lethality of magic, but based on his life experience and the influence of film, television, and literary works, he did not take this aspect too seriously.
Although he knew that those were all fictions created by humans and he had never witnessed real magic.
But the subconscious mind is not so easy to change, even if he was struck by lightning from an owl.
In other words, apart from getting a free afro and a burnt face, the fact that he was unharmed actually strengthened his subconscious.
Therefore, he never expected Dumbledore to rescue Rowling through magic.
After all, people are usually so convinced of what they believe that it is difficult for language to interfere with that.
There is only one way to change, tear it apart, crush it, and then reshape it.
Now, here comes the thing that will tear his worldview apart.
Their convoy has reached the edge of the woods. If they turn right a short distance ahead, they will reach the road to the military base.
A huge rock about two hundred meters above the ground was located between the two, slightly forward.
The sun is behind the boulder, its huge size and perfect position blocking the sun's rays.
"Oh my God……"
Ryan, Toby, Claysie, and Leon, who got off the car with a look of horror, and dozens of royal guards.
Looking up at the huge rock that seems to be able to destroy everything, one would naturally not think that the magician who was nowhere to be found could only condense the rock at a height of two hundred meters.
They know better than anyone what the consequences would be if the huge rock in the sky, which was so huge that it blocked out the sun, fell from a height of ten thousand meters.
That was the end of Lundun and even the entire world.
But in fact this is impossible.
Maybe it would be possible in the future, but at this moment, Zhang Mu had already exhausted all his strength to condense the boulder, and even needed the help of potions.
Falling from a height of ten thousand meters, the magic power will be disordered due to insufficient mental strength, and the huge rocks will turn into magic elements on the way.
However, Ryan and his group didn't know this.
Zhang Mu also knew that they didn’t know.
Information asymmetry is Zhang Mu’s trump card.
In the distance, huge rocks were slowly falling.
Of course, it was because the stones were too large that caused the visual error for them.
The speed is not slow.
After more than ten seconds, the boulder touched the ground.
"boom--"
A violent vibration came along the ground. Ryan and his companions came back to their senses from their stunned state and hurriedly held on to Jeep to steady his shaking body.
Looking ahead again, thick gray-yellow dust was spreading wildly in all directions, like a sandstorm.
After a long time, when the shaking had weakened a lot, they finally realized what had happened.
Waking up from the devastating scene, the invisible hand that was gripping Toby's heart loosened, and he gasped for breath.
"magic……"
"Ryan..." His pupils flickered as he looked at Ryan beside him, "How arrogant are humans?
Only then will you firmly believe that you are the master of Blue Star."
“I…I don’t know Toby…” Ryan gasped, clutching his chest, “But I understand one thing.
If Ms. Rowling is treated maliciously, the stone will appear over London’s head.”
After recovering from his shock, Toby turned around and rushed to the car: "Quick! Let's go!"
Chapter 150: Searching for the Owl All Over the City
When Toby's convoy of jungle camouflage jeeps arrived at the gate of the military base, chaos could be seen inside.
So much so that the soldiers guarding the gate didn't know where to go.
The convoy drove into the parking lot of the military base smoothly without even going through the normal registration process.
