227 Attack
227 Attack
"Stop!" He looked at the girl approaching him. Hugo immediately pointed his pistol in the direction of the opponent's advance and fired a shot, and then warned. "Otherwise the next shot will hit you."
"I don't mean any harm -" Looking at the hole made on the ground, the Beauxbatons girl immediately slowed down and raised her hands to show that she had no hostility.
"Okay, tell me what happened." Hugo asked while holding his pistol steadily, "I don't think an elite sixth-year Beauxbatons student would be so frightened by a magical creature. Bar."
Hugo himself was considered the youngest contestant in the entire competition. After eliminating a few younger non-apprentices in the previous two competitions, the field was filled with sixth-grade students except him.
"A group of centipede-like insects will spit out a lot of acid." The girl said quickly in French. "They're coming this way."
"Are you looking for me now hoping to use my power to escape?" Hugo asked in French. "If so, what price are you going to pay in exchange for my help?"
"No, that's not the case now." After hearing what Hugo said, the girl immediately showed an extremely nervous expression. "When I couldn't hold on anymore, I tried to sound the alarm as prescribed in advance, but I didn't wait for rescue."
"So in desperation, I could only pull out my wand and try to find a way to break out from the siege of those monsters, and I happened to meet you."
"What did you say!" Hugo also showed a nervous expression after hearing what the girl said.
Before the competition, the organizer specially gave each of them an alchemy tool for calling for help, saying that they could use this device to call for reinforcements when encountering irresolvable dangers.
After all, what everyone is doing now is just a game, so it is also a wise idea to give up the game when you encounter problems that cannot be solved.
But if these props fail, the problem will be serious. This means that some people do not want this game to be held smoothly, and even hope to achieve some of their own goals through casualties during the game.
"Then you try mine." Hugo said, pointing a gun at the other person with one hand, and with the other hand, he took off a brass disc that was hanging there before and threw it to the girl. .
"No problem." After subconsciously glancing behind her in the direction she had just escaped from, the Beauxbatons girl activated the disc according to the method taught by the previous organizer.
According to theory, after correct operation, this disk should first emit red light, and then emit a group of red sparks from the red agate inlaid in the center of the disk.
But now, the disk only lit up, but did not shoot sparks into the sky. Instead, it vibrated for a while and then completely calmed down.
"Let's get out of here first." Because he was strengthened by multiple avatars, Hugo heard a rustling sound in the distance getting closer and closer.
Thinking of what the girl said just now, he immediately realized that these sounds were probably the sounds of those bugs catching up just now.
After continuing to run east for a few hundred meters, Hugo, who got rid of the pursuers behind him, began to examine the brass disc in his hand. With unrelenting remote support, Hugo quickly discovered the problem in the disc.
It turns out that in several key places inside the disc, the manufacturer replaced the original material with a magic material that has a relatively low magic carrying capacity.
This material is not much different from the original in terms of appearance and daily flow of magic power. It can even handle daily inspections, but when it is truly activated, it will quickly become incapacitated and block the spread of magic power.
However, because the appearance of the disability remains unchanged, it is impossible to discover the problem unless a comprehensive inspection is conducted.
"Enterprise, how is the situation there now?" After discovering the problem with the thing in his hand, Hugo immediately contacted the enterprise.
"Things are looking pretty normal here right now," Enterprise said, holding a wine glass as a buffet was being held in the tent because it was lunchtime.
Both the local Japanese wizards and those from Europe were all dressed in formal attire, walking elegantly among the long tables, and took this opportunity to conduct some social and diplomatic activities.
"But this normality is the biggest abnormality." Enterprise said while gently shaking the champagne glass in his hand, "The thing on your body should be able to monitor your actions before, but now, we have not received any information."
"Theoretically, there will be a patrol team to check the contestants. Problems like the ones you just encountered should have been reported here. So I will go to the organizer to ask later."
"Okay, if you find anything unusual over there, just inform me directly."
After ending the contact, Hugo began to walk towards the seaside with the French senior named Emma. Because the witch from Beauxbatons was really frightened by the previous attack, she chose to act together with Hugo.
Unlike the Triwizard Tournament, the wizards participating in the alchemy competition may not be good at this kind of competition related to wild survival and combat. This is why Emma is willing to sign a magical contract with Hugo to form an alliance in the game.
Because although Hugo is very young, he is far superior to her in terms of combat level. At least in the battles she encountered along the way, Emma felt that many enemies that she might need to spend a lot of effort to defeat were easily solved by Hugo.
Along the way, the company would contact Hugo every once in a while. But just as everyone had anticipated the worst-case scenario, the company's conclusion has always been that everything is normal.
Because of the current competition, plus some other considerations. Therefore, after receiving such an answer, the company did not urge the event organizer too much out of confidentiality considerations.
But that doesn't mean he didn't do anything, just over half an hour after Hugo talked to him on the phone. The two outer ship girl formations received orders at the same time and all entered the highest alert state.
Following the shrill sirens, the two ship girl formations immediately completed preparations for battle and were ready to attack all possible targets on the island and the surrounding waters at any time.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the two people stopped moving and started looking for a campsite. At first, all the work went smoothly, but just as the sky darkened and Hugo and the others were preparing to have lunch around the campfire, the company suddenly sounded an alarm.
"Some people from the Japanese Ministry of Magic suddenly attacked us." Against the background of bursts of fighting noise, Enterprise said to Hugo through the Admiral Network. "They poisoned the food and wine and then attacked us."
"Are you okay now?" Hugo asked nervously after hearing what the company said.
"Don't worry, this is just a small scene for me." Enterprise said while releasing magic behind him. "Two blind guys tried to stop me, but they have been killed now."
By this time, she had already reached the edge of the camp, and in front of her was a green lake.
