Chapter 85

"Cough cough..."

Murphy coughed, picked up the suitcase, and returned to the Jeep.

Selica ran out from somewhere, "Murphy, you're hurt!"

"It's okay, the opponent is worse off, haha."

That Flying Sand and Stones blow was indeed not light, but Murphy was quite proud. The opponent was an expert, but he still won!

Hearty! Hearty!

He was almost starting to like this feeling.

I heard that there used to be a secret dueling club "Silver Lance" that only recruited wizards who used willow wands as its members. I don't know if it still exists.

Maybe I can write a letter to Professor Filius later to ask. He was a dueling champion when he was young, so he should have some channels.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help at all." Selica was very guilty.

Just now she saw Murphy and that freak fighting with magic like Apparition and Illusion Body Spell. Although she was anxious and wanted to go up to help, she couldn't even see the shadows of both sides, let alone fight.

In the end, she was originally just an ordinary office worker and had never been exposed to real combat.

Even if she went up, she would be killed by the opponent in one move, and maybe she would distract Murphy.

"You're not doing this, and I didn't count on you anyway. Come here, come and look at my back."

The clothes on Murphy's back were blown into pieces, and the bulletproof vest inside also had a big hole. With Selica's help, he took it off.

He glanced at the steel plate in the bulletproof vest that had been bent by the huge force and suddenly felt scared. This power was truly terrifying. If it weren't for this layer of protection, he might have been gone!

But even so, there was still a large bruise on his back, and several contusions.

He didn't have a good way to deal with the bruises for the time being, so he let Selica spray some White Medicine, and Murphy didn't bother with it anymore.

Taking Selica into the car, the two drove directly toward Joachim's house.

He had to solve the problem of not being able to leave the village.

And after taking down the boss, of course, he had to go to his lair to loot. The purpose of his visit—the Soul Seed—hadn't dropped yet.

There were still some zombies that hadn't been killed in the houses ahead, all desperately hiding themselves. Murphy ignored them, planning to come back and clean them up later.

Passing through those transparent ghosts all the way, although they angrily wanted to grab Murphy, they helplessly found that after losing their bodies, they had no way to deal with him at all.

Murphy laughed heartily, but Selica felt very sorry. During the few days she stayed here before, these villagers were quite nice to her.

"Selica, go up, use the flamethrower, and burn all these corpses."

Selica couldn't drive, so she had to do the job of burning corpses.

"Ah?" Selica was a little resistant, but considering Murphy's hard fight just now and his injuries, she didn't want to disobey his meaning, so she climbed onto the roof of the car.

The operation of the flamethrower was very simple, and it was mounted on the roof of the car, so there was no recoil. Even though Selica was a wizard and had never seen this thing, under Murphy's guidance, she quickly learned how to use it.

She tried pulling the trigger and was immediately startled by the tongue of fire that sprayed out for dozens of meters.

What a terrible power!

Operating it herself, she felt the horror of this Muggle weapon.

Incendio and the like were simply children's play magic in comparison.

No wonder Murphy said Muggles are more powerful than wizards.

He didn't lie to me.

"I'm sorry, everyone..." Selica apologized to the villagers in her heart, then pulled the trigger again.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The boiling flames ignited the corpses that had long become dry and flammable over the past hundred years, and the area behind the Jeep soon became a sea of fire.

Selica looked at everything she had caused with shock, but soon, she discovered something unusual.

"Murphy! Not good! Joachim!"

Murphy looked back and saw that on the other side of the sea of fire, where the C4 had exploded before, a translucent bird-beak mask freak shot into the sky and then chased after their Jeep.

This ghost was slightly unusual, its whole body seemed to be flashing with some kind of blood-red ghost light.

But Murphy didn't pay much attention. Now that you've become a ghost, what else can you do?

However, Joachim's ghost was actually clutching a wand in his hand. He raised his wand, "Flying Sand and Stones!"

A curse spark instantly hit the Jeep. It was like being hit hard in the butt by a cow. The car went out of control, suddenly turned sideways, and then didn't know what it hit, so it flipped over due to huge inertia, rolled twice on the ground, and then collapsed on the ground.

Murphy was hit until he was dizzy, and his brain was even more confused.

How the hell can this ghost still use spells?!

But before he could think clearly, the ghost's next curse arrived, "Blasting Curse!"

"Not good!" Murphy didn't have time to think, directly grabbed Selica's hand, "Apparition!"

Just as they disappeared, the ghost's curse hit the fuel tank. "Boom," the fuel tank exploded, and the flames instantly wrapped the Jeep completely. After a while, there was another boom, and the flamethrower on the roof that had been hit and broken also exploded.

By the small bridge, Murphy and Selica suddenly appeared as if they had hit something, fell from the sky, and hit the ground with a bang.

After a while, Murphy sat up blankly, suddenly feeling a bone-chilling pain. Looking down, his left arm and left leg seemed to have been twisted directly by some terrible force.

Muscles torn, blood vessels ruptured, and even bones exposed.

Splinching!

The moment he Apparated just now, the target that flashed through his mind was actually the mansion, and only then did he realize that this village could not be left through Apparition, so he changed the target to the small bridge here. But this momentary address switch, although it allowed him to complete the Apparition, also led to the occurrence of Splinching.

"Selica!" Murphy shouted, but there was no response. Selica was lying on the side, life or death unknown.

And his wand didn't know where it was thrown.

The tactical belt at his waist was also taken off when he was treating the wound on his back just now and was left in the car, so he had no spare wand.

The suitcase was brought over by him and was still open, but it was lying in the distance, and he couldn't reach it at all.

Damn.

The severe pain made him dizzy, and his body was still losing blood. At this moment, once he passed out, he might never wake up again.

"Accio Wand." He tried to reach out and shouted.

Nothing happened.

He didn't have the technique of wandless magic. The school didn't teach this, and he had always had a spare wand, so he didn't prioritize learning this technique.

"FXXK!"

In the distant sky, a ghost with an unusual blood color had risen into the high sky and was patrolling everywhere.

It would soon find the two people here.

By then, he would have only one dead end.

"Calm down!" Murphy forced himself to calm down, then reached out a hand again.

Haldane's words rang in his mind.

Magic is the change of probability.

Just moving a wand to his hand doesn't require reversing much information entropy.

Imagine it.

This is not teleportation of space, just linking the wand that is already closely connected to him through magic power, and then pulling it back to his hand.

Expand his perception. Even if the naked eye can't see it, the sense of smell and the wizard's magic perception are still there. He must be able to feel that magic power closely connected to him.

If the magic net is not familiar with such a path, then guide it.

First, expand my perception!

Second, search and link the magic power of the same origin as me!

Third, pull it back!

Suddenly, a faint circuit appeared in his mind.

It was so blurry, so subtle, but in that instant, he seemed to truly feel the existence of a thing.

Murphy opened his eyes suddenly, "Accio Wand!"
