Chapter 972: ?A Messenger from Hearthglen?

　　The mountain fires in the surrounding area of ​​Dahlone County burned for a day and a night for a few miles and beyond...
No one knows that it has not spread farther. Anyway, Uther Lightbringer, David Croft, Captain Joseph Redpath and other Paladins and the generals of Darrowshire are only know:
When they lost and lost in the defense yesterday morning, lost to the undead and had to retreat in embarrassment, after watching the undead unlucky, they had to take their hands to eat or eat. The guy who killed the enemy participated in the vigorous logging operations and the intense work of creating fire barriers in the surrounding mountains and forests of Dahlong County.
One day and one night, there were a small number of Paladins, some soldiers from the Lordaeron heavy armored sword and shield regiment, the original militia of Dahlone County, and most of the armed farmers, the remaining two thousand troops and a large number of volunteer farmers. With hard work all day and night, in the morning of the next day, they finally saved their home from the terrible wildfire, and saved the entire Dahlong County from the poison and burning of the fire...
However, it is inevitable that, except that the entire Dahlone County is a gray area, all houses, streets, and debris are covered with a thick layer of black dust, most of the soldiers or farmers working outdoors All of us are covered in black, even the Uther Lightbringer, who was originally wearing the golden armor and holding a silver hammer, has now become a black, bad old man. The'eagle' with a hint of gold glowing in the gray and black on his shoulder armor can make people easily recognize him.
Although almost everyone here in Dahlone County is in embarrassment right now, in fact, everyone's hearts are extremely relaxed and comfortable at this time, because, without a doubt, they won and they defeated the menacing undead. , And I'm pretty sure that for a long time in the future, those terrifying monsters will definitely not dare to provoke Darong County here again.
　　 because,
The summoned one is even more terrifying than the undead, and it is huge as a mighty monster like a towering mountain. It shows its power and uses its huge hammer to sweep the undead's army, and with it, it is enough to melt the soil. After killing thousands or even tens of thousands of undead in an instant, those cunning undead bosses and death knights ran away again!
　　 Yes, just ran away...
They ran very simply. According to the information detected by a certain goblin who is not afraid of death by helicopter, it is said that the other party only brought a handful of ghouls and death knights, and they ran northward without looking back. No trace, leaving behind those countless undead who were violently killed and burned by that huge monster. Tens of thousands of undead monsters instantly turned into powder under the raging flames within a few minutes. ...
　　Perhaps, after the battle yesterday morning, there will definitely be a lingering nightmare in the hearts of their undead monsters and the master behind them, right?
　　 But...
The only thing that makes the soldiers in Darrow County who don’t know the truth feel pity, and don’t know why, that huge and terrifying monster was summoned only after a few hundred heartbeats, it gradually turned into one. The phantom, dissipated between the heavens and the earth again... However, the huge fire it left behind and the countless undead killed, plus some unexpected'derivatives' and the terrible scene after a huge volcanic eruption, remain Outside of Dahlone County, is it enough to prove how great its power is?
The people of Dahlone County have never thought that those incomparably powerful undead in their eyes, those terrifying abominations, cunning and quick ghouls, cruel necromancers, and vicious plagues, etc. That kind of existence is not worth mentioning. In a flash, they were all burned by its attack and fire, and no longer existed in this area of ​​their home?
　　 "Too much..."
　　 "The woods seem to have been burned out, and I don't know what happened to the little animals inside..."
　　 After the sky was completely bright, a little girl with two ponytails in a house in Darrow County could not help but sigh after looking out the window with her round eyes for a while.
　　 "But, Miss Hermione, who the is the big big man you turned out yesterday?"
"It's really an amazing guy... I saw it secretly, so it rushed forward, holding the sledgehammer bigger than my house, and within a few strokes, it completely beat the bad guys. It ran away, it is braver and stronger than all of them, Dad and Grandpa Uther!!"
Captain Redpath’s house, looking out of Dahlone County, looking at the magma pools in the distance and countless fire elements happily jumping in the magma pools, after a day and a night, they finally gradually recovered from the fright. The little girl Pamela couldn’t help asking curiously about a young lady standing next to her. At the same time, she stood on tiptoe and followed each other, looking at the distant view by the windowsill on her second floor. scene.
Although Pamela didn’t know how awesome the old Uther, who many people said was awesome, but anyway, she felt that the big guy that Miss Hermione turned out yesterday morning has the same weaponry as a house. Great, if it were replaced by Uther, the bravest dad and the most powerful grandfather in the world, she would definitely be crushed by a hammer, right?
Fortunately, the big man was changed by Miss Hermione. The other party was definitely not with the terrible bad guys, so he would definitely not take that huge one, burning with flames, even more than her house. Want a bigger hammer to hit her father and uncle grandpa on them!
　　 "……"
　　 "I'm sorry, Pamela, I don't know who it is..."
That’s right, Hermione really didn’t know what that thing was, but she only knew that she was also frightened at the time and promised that she would never dare to summon monsters of unknown origin and try those weird ones. Summon the magic circle.
　　 Fortunately, the undead took the lead to offend the other party at the time. Otherwise, Hermione would not even dare to imagine the possible consequences!
　　 And now, take a look...
It was just a short five-minute summoning time, and the terrifying giant flame monster easily turned the battlefield around and in front of Dahlone County into a terrifying scene like a volcanic hell. It not only reduced at least 20,000 to 30,000 The undead were smashed to death, and the front of Dahlone County was transformed into a large lava lake-like place. Even, the outsiders didn’t know how to produce and give birth to so many strange things... …
　　Fire element life?
　　 Yes, it is the fire element!
　　 Anyway, Hermione heard that well-informed Uther, who was said to have seen the monster that can play in magma near the Burning Plains and Blackrock Mountain.
Therefore, Hermione couldn’t help being a little scared. She felt that if the monster stayed a little longer, or could exist forever... Maybe, it’s really like what it said in its roar at that time, the whole world will be It's burning, right?
Fortunately, some of the descriptions in the magic book are still accurate. After five minutes passed, the monster that was not controlled by anyone turned into a huge phantom in bursts of angry and unwilling roars. Soon they disappeared completely, and at last they did not cause more damage to the surrounding area, and there was no time to look back and do something to them here in Darong County.
　　 But just like that, even if the other party didn't specifically target this side, the soldiers and civilians in Darrow County were busy! Almost, if Uther and other Paladins hadn’t reacted fast enough and quickly organized manpower to cut down the woods around the town to create a fire barrier, I’m afraid they would really be hit by the pond fish and be like the surrounding mountains and forests. Turned to ashes in the fire...
　　 "Don't you know who that big man is?"
The big man was obviously changed by Miss Hermione, but Miss Hermione said that she didn't know her name, which made Pamela very puzzled, but she was so cute that she didn't continue even if she didn't understand. Ask more, because she can see that Miss Hermione seems to have something on her mind now?
　　 "Then Hermione sister..."
　　 "Can I run to the front and play with the little animals on fire?"
　　 After thinking about it, Pamela tilted her head and pointed to the funny fire elements that were running around in the magma pool in the distance.
　　 She didn't know what it was, and no one had ever told her about it, so she had to call those things for the time being-a small animal on fire?
Moreover, she has just watched carefully for a long time and has basically figured it out: the little things that are on fire in the distance, they don’t seem to be afraid of fire at all, and they’re not afraid of being hot. It's really amazing! The most important thing is that the other party looks red, as if it is fun?
　　 "!!!"
　　 "Absolutely not!"
"Pamela, you must remember: never get close to that side, and never play with those'little animals on fire', because it's wrong for children to play with fire. They like to play with fire. They are all bad kids, so you should never play with them, do you understand?"
　　 Hermione, who was taken aback by the other party's words, quickly turned her head to speak, and stared at the other party's eyes and exclaimed in words that the other party could understand.
Those things called fire elements, although Hermione doesn’t know their power, she only knows that those things are definitely dangerous to ordinary people, even ordinary soldiers, let alone Pamela. Little girl of any power anymore.
Although the undead at the sight are completely dead now, monsters that are more difficult than the undead have appeared, and they are now just outside the intersection of Dahlong County, and the range just a few hundred meters away may be enough. In a lava field for miles!
　　 That’s right, the monsters Hermione was talking about were the fire elements, large and small, with the possibility of thousands!
Although they just stayed in the hot and scorching area, they would not come out easily, and they did not have too strong desire and intention to attack, but Hermione felt that the kind of uncontrolled monsters had better stay away from them. a little?
"Oh……"
　　 "Okay, Pamela listens to Sister Hermione, and won't go play with the bad kids who play with fire!!!"
Although I don’t know why Miss Hermione was so nervous, Pamela nodded hard, obediently and well-behaved. Just as the other party told me not to leave the house before, she stayed at home honestly, even if there was a lot of noise outside. It's amazing, she didn't go out all day and night.
　　‘Excuse me! ’
　　‘Is Granger Wizard here? ’
At this time, a black soldier who took off his armor for the convenience of his work, and was wearing a fit but still black overall, and carrying a shield and long sword behind him ran to Pamela’s house. Outside and shouted.
　　 "!!!"
　　 "I will greet our guests first, remember, Pamela, stay at home, don’t go outside easily, your father will definitely come back to see you at night, you know?"
Although I don’t know who is looking for herself again, or what is it for Uther and the others, but after the little girl was told at the end and saw her nodding her head, Hermione hurriedly turned and walked downstairs. .
　　 Maybe, it’s for the fire elements outside and the aftermath, right?
But Hermione swears that she is really powerless, her own ability is like that, and the reason why she can summon that terrible guy is really just an accident. What should I do next, how to deal with the lava Chi and Fire Element, she really has no way at all, and she doesn't know what to do!
　　
　　 "……"
　　(ー`′ー)
　　‘All those who play with fire are bad kids? ’
　　Anne suddenly felt that the words of Miss Hermione on the screen always sounded like she was talking about Professor Anne? Although, she herself often plays with fire, but she promises that she has never been a bad boy!
　　 How could she, Professor Anne, such a smart, well-behaved and cute child, be the kind of bad boy who doesn’t learn well and ‘likes playing with fire’? There is absolutely no such thing!
　　(ˉ▽￣～)Hey~
　　 That's right, it's like that, there can be no mistake.
　　 (……)
　　(?°??°?)
　　 "!!!"
　　Σ(⊙ω⊙`)!
　　 "Hey! Almost headless Nick, what the are you going to do? If you want to fly, just fly aside, why are you here to stop me from watching the "movie"?"
　　(?-?)?
Regarding the ghost of Gryffindor College in front of her, the almost headless ghost ran to her and blocked her sight eagerly. Little Annie expressed her dissatisfaction because the other party blocked her from looking Hermione's screen is now. Although the other party's body is almost transparent, no one must have hoped to get a layer of frosted glass in front of him while watching a movie.
　　If the other party does not leave again, then she will definitely change the other party from ‘almost headless’ to ‘forever headless’!
　　‘Hello, Professor Anne, if you can, please call me Sir Nicholas of Minsey? ’
　　‘Excuse me, can I interrupt you for a few minutes? I think it shouldn’t reach the exciting part yet. You should be able to spare a little time, right? ’
Turning his head behind him, he looked at the screen behind him, and saw that there was nothing too exciting on the show, and even the students were whispering, and he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Nick Then he pulled back the head with the layer of skin on his neck, and looked cramped at a little girl professor who was more lawless than Pepy Ghost.
　　 It waited for a long time before it made up its mind to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss something.
　　 "No way!"
　　 (?╭╮?)
　　 "Because I don't want to be disturbed by you now..."
　　(??ˇ?ˇ??)
　　 You know, Professor Anne is very busy, besides, unless she is crazy, she will waste her leisure time on a ghost!
'what? ! ’
'This……'
Seeing that the professor didn't follow the routine, he rejected himself ruthlessly without giving any face, almost headless Nick, that is, the smile on the face of Sir Nicholas of Minsey and his raised beard. Zi froze there, and his head fell suddenly.
　　 But fortunately, there is still a layer of leather attached, so it was hurriedly upright, but even in that case, it looks very embarrassed and embarrassing, and still a bit at a loss?
　　 "Ahem..."
　　 "Professor Anne, since Nick has something to ask for you, you might as well listen to it first?"
At this time, a certain nosy old man Dumbledore took off. He glanced at the screen first. He felt that he might not be able to see the shocking images of yesterday, so he took off the bridge of his nose. Reading glasses, turned his head to a little girl beside him and persuaded.
　　 He was shocked by the thing that Miss Granger summoned yesterday, because he knew that once such a thing was summoned on earth, the damage and movement caused would be absolutely amazing! Therefore, after observing for a day and seeing the damage caused by that big guy, he made up his mind, and after that Miss Granger came back, he must have a good talk with the other party!
　　 However, that kind of thing is not in a hurry right now, and it must not be possible for the little guy beside him to do it when he is still at Hogwarts.
　　 "……"
　　(￢д￢.)
　　 "Then you say it quickly, hurry up, people are very busy!!"
　　S(??ˇεˇ??)ゞ
　　 There is no way, some bad old man is staring, and little Annie, who can't catch the ghost directly, had to hold her arm and stared at the unfamiliar ghost who flew in front of her and blocked her sight.
　　‘When, of course! ’
'Professor Anne, this is how it is, we had a ghost meeting with the ghosts of Hogwarts, including the Barrow of Slytherin, the fat monk of Hufflepuff, and Gray of Ravenclaw. Madam, we have reached a consensus, and we all feel that your punishment for Pepi Ghost is actually enough...'
　　 At this point, Nick, who was almost headless, paused. First, he looked at the little girl professor in front of him nervously. After seeing that there was no such unhappy or disgusting expression on the other's face, he continued to say:
'In addition, it is making noise at the bottom of the lake all day, making it difficult for the Grindillos in the big lake to be quiet, and it has been talking bad about you, and the female leader of the mermaid, Mercus, came back to reflect yesterday... ...'
　　‘So, Professor Anne, our ghost at Hogwarts wants to ask you, if you get angry enough, can you let Peppies back? We believe that it will definitely not provoke you or say bad things about you again, we promise! ’
Remembering that when their ghosts ran to the bottom of the lake, they had heard those horrible things that the cursing Pippi said. Nick, who was almost headless, couldn't help but carefully glanced at a frowning little girl and a certain cheerfulness. The principal gave a glance, but of course he knew what to say and what not to say, so he didn't show his expression too much.
He, Sir Nicholas of Minsey, knows that whether it is Dumbledore or the more terrifying little girl professor in front of him, they have a way to deal with their ghosts, so if they don’t want to end up with Pippi, they will Better to be honest?
"Oh!"
　　 "That's right! The Pipi ghost thing..."
　　 Hearing this from Nick, who was almost headless, Dumbledore responded quickly. Obviously, he had thought about picking up the hapless guy two days ago, and one of them accidentally forgot about it.
　　 "Professor Anne, what do you think? Or, just let it go?"
　　If it's just this almost headless Nick, the little guy would definitely ignore it, but Dumbledore felt that if he was the principal, his old face should still be useful, right?
　　 "……"
　　(ー`′ー)
　　 "No! People think it is too cheap to close it for two days, so I have to keep it closed for a while!"
　　O(｀^′)o hum!
　　 "But don't worry, turn it off for a while, I will definitely let it go!!!"
　　(???▽???)
　　 That's right, after a while, she will definitely let go of that hateful and persistent Pepi ghost! However, how long is the ‘for a while’, she has the final say.
　　 Maybe three or five days, maybe one or two weeks, or maybe it was planned before, and after I left Hogwarts? Anyway, it shouldn't be right for too long, so these guys don't need to worry too much about that Pepi ghost.
'This……'
Maybe it’s a bit embarrassing, maybe it’s that Nick, who feels a little disappointed with the trust of the Ghost Council, almost headless, looked at Dumbledore reluctantly, as if he hoped that Mr. Principal would be able to make peace with himself and facilitate them as soon as possible. The resolution reached by the ghosts of Hogwarts would bring back the Pepy Ghost who was tied to the barrel and sunk at the bottom of the dark lake earlier?
　　 After all, using that cruel method to punish a ghost, and sinking the other party into the dark bottom of the lake and mud, these ghosts are kind of hurting or empathizing.
　　 "Oh~!"
　　 "Look, Harry and Fleur are finally meeting Hermione again. It seems that our three warriors are going to start a new adventure again?"
　　 However, at this time, Dumbledore didn't seem to see Nick's wink. From the left and right, he pointed to the "screen" and pretended to yell.
Obviously, he didn't seem to be going to argue with a little girl with a bad temper because of a ghost who was just tied to the barrel of the sinking lake. After all, that kind of thing is just a small thing...Moreover, Pippi or something, if you throw it at the bottom of the lake and soak it for ten and a half months, you won't die! Moreover, after the absence of Peppies in the last two days, the order of the school has obviously improved a lot, so Dumbledore did not intend to struggle too much with such matters.
　　 "Huh? Where is it?"
　　∑(′△｀)? !
　　 With a wave of her hand, he snapped a certain pesky ghost into the wall of the auditorium, and after letting its transparent body penetrate the wall directly and disappeared, Xiao Annie quickly looked towards the screen.
　　 As expected, the above is really like what a bad old man said, that Potter and Fleur, the two guys who survived to this day by chance, and they really got together again with Hermione...
　　
　　 "Harry! Fleur!"
　　 "And Xiao Timmy, great, you guys are finally here!!"
In the'lumber yard' in front of Darrowshire, among the brightly-dressed paladins with silver hands on one side dark and silver on the other side, Hermione finally saw her two more Friends who have not seen each other, see Harry and Fleur who have been separated for many days!
　　 So, she was so excited that she rushed towards the two of them and gave them a big hug.
　　 "It's incredible!"
　　 "Hermione, I just heard Master Uther say, what the is going on, you really did all this?"
　　 "But how did you do it?!"
After 　　 hugged, Harry, who couldn't believe it, pointed to the sky of fire, the terrible lava field, and the flame monsters running happily in the lava.
　　In the beginning, Harry and Fleur thought that this is what Daroon County is like, because of the terrible volcanic landscape...
But what do you think, when they heard Lord Uther said that this was originally a lush mountain forest, but later, in order to deal with the undead, the Granger Witch cast a terrible summoning spell to become like this After that, neither of them knew what to say!
　　Because they have never seen such a scene before, and they have never dared to imagine what kind of spells or spells can cause such terrible damage in front of this land?
　　‘……’
　　‘……’
　　 At the same time, the Paladins of the Silver Hand who had just arrived here also looked at the three of them.
Obviously, the paladins of the Silver Hand who rushed to help Dahlone County but found the silver hand who ran for nothing at the end were also very curious, and wanted to know what the Granger Witch used to create all the terrible sights in front of them. What kind of terrifying means?
You know, they hurriedly hurried along the way, at the expense of horsepower, and even too late to clean up the undead that they encountered along the way, they barely arrived here before noon today... However, the irony is that there is nothing here at all. The enemy of, nor any moving undead, only the swirling smoke, ashes, the large and small magma pools, lava lakes, and the larger and deeper ones in front of the eyes Is it just a crater like a volcanic pool?
　　 So, I don't know, so, the Paladins who don't know what kind of spell can make everything in front of them, really want to know what the witch who ran to greet them and looked a little wilted.
　　 "Sorry, Harry, this is a bit troublesome to explain, I don't know where to start..."
　　 "Anyway, you still have everyone, you just need to know, you can be late!"
　　 After finishing talking, Hermione, who had reunited with her partner, laughed at the confused Harry, Fleur, Timmy and the paladins who were paying attention to her.
　　Seriously, until now, Hermione still has some troubles!
However, when she saw her companions and saw that the tall and mighty Paladins had arrived in Darrowshire, she knew that they, including Darrowshire and the people in Darrowshire, should be safe. There is no need to worry about the invasion of the undead.
　　 As for the fire elements outside...
　　 That's not something she should think about. Anyway, she can't manage even if she is a tube!
　　 "!!!"
　　 "Sister Jaina? Why are you here?!"
　　 Suddenly, Hermione saw another familiar figure, a blue wizard robe, long golden hair and a pretty face. Who was Jaina who she hadn't seen for a long time?
　　 So, after cheering, she rushed towards the opponent and held the opponent's hands excitedly.
　　 "Well..."
　　 "It might be a little troublesome to explain? But Hermione, you just need to know that I also came to ask for help, because Alsace is in trouble!"
　　 After finishing speaking, Jaina also responded playfully with Hermione's words just now.
She had just heard about what happened here and had already seen it. Although she was shocked by Hermione’s indiscriminately summoning existence, she did not cause any more serious consequences, and she even hit the ground by mistake. After saving Dahlone County, she felt that that kind of thing could be discussed later?
　　Because now, she really still has important things, and it is urgent!
　　 "Uther..."
　　 "You must have read Alsace's letter just now, how about it, have you made a decision? Although I also know that you are very and very tired now?"
　　 Looking at the Paladins and soldiers in Darrow County in front of them, they all looked like sullen and autumnal. Jaina, who knew what was going on with each other, hesitated for a while, but she quickly became firm again:
　　 "But..."
"Uther, I swear, Alsace and the others really need reinforcements now. They are blocked by the undead in Hearthglen. The undead's offensive is very fierce. I am afraid they can only last for a month or so. Now it may only be you. The Paladins can have time to save him!"
　　 Yes, Jaina came here and was with the paladins of the Silver Hand who came to help. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is actually here to help!
"Do not worry……"
"Mage Jaina, I will save him, but I am afraid you have also seen our situation. We have just finished a battle, and the Paladins have just finished a long-distance raid. Even if we set off now, I am afraid it will be. Can't exert much combat effectiveness..."
　　 "So, please be patient, we all need to fix one day, tomorrow, I promise you, I will lead the Paladins to go to support Alsace!"
Uther sighed. Andorhal is really too far away from Hearthglen. Even if they are all cavalry, it will take at least twenty days to arrive. Therefore, he only hopes that by relying on the terrain in Alsa, which is guarded by Hearthglen Can Sit wait for them?
Also, Uther suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to immediately write a report to King Terenas, because the current situation of the plague is not as simple as they thought before. For Dan Lun's conspiracy, Lordaeron must be more vigilant.
　　 "……"
　　 "……"
Hearing the conversation between Uther and Jaina, Hermione looked at Harry and Fleur helplessly, because they knew that after the mission of rescuing Darrowshire, they might have to rush again. , Went to the so-called Hearthglen...
　　They don’t know how long this war that shouldn’t belong to them will last? Also, when or how can they return to Hogwarts?
　　
　　
?˙?˙)? Where's the ticket?
