All the heavens began with Huo Yi

Chapter 17 Running for One's Life

Upon hearing this, Angelina panicked. Although she wanted to help Suer, she could only worry about herself first given the current situation.

"One last question: why did you choose today? How are you so sure I won't stay at school today? What if I don't come out today?"

"Because today is Saturday, a day off."

Of course, I can find out who you think I am whenever I want. I am Lukewood!

Alright, little girl, are you planning to come with me with some dignity, or be taken away by us in a less dignified manner?

Lukwood looked confident of victory, after all, he had made thorough preparations this time.

He still has two underlings guarding the mountain outside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, using a telescope to observe whether Sue has returned to Hogwarts.

Furthermore, there is a mole within Hogwarts who will send out a signal spell as soon as they spot Sue.

"Ha, looks like I have no choice but to surrender?"

Angelina raised her hand, but in her heart she was thinking that someone at school might have leaked her whereabouts, and it must be someone she knew well. She would have to investigate when she got back.

Lukewood was very satisfied with this and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Not bad, not bad. Don't worry, once I get the secret treasure left by my ancestors, you will be my number one contributor. At that time, you will be second only to the emperor in Britain! Go, take her away."

Upon hearing their leader's words, the two members of the Fire Serpent Party immediately approached Angelina, making a move to confiscate her wand and take it with them.

"A thunderous explosion! Shattered into pieces!"

Angelina was not about to give up easily; her rebellious spirit was strong enough! The moment the two took away her spare wand that she always carried with her, Angelina launched her attack!

Two members of the Fire Serpent Gang who were close to Angelina were instantly killed by her magic due to their carelessness.

After casting two spells, Angelina naturally knew it was time to run away. Lukewood was furious when he saw this and immediately chased after her, determined to torture this bastard who killed his men!

However, Lukwood never expected that there were two other pairs of eyes watching what they were doing.

"They're gone, brother!"

"I know, I know... You go home first, understand?"

"Brother, are you going to...? No, we barely escaped that hellhole, and this group is just like the people who captured us!"

"Alright, Lucy, I know what I'm going to do. Trust me, go home and wait for me to come back. He saved you, so I'll save his friend too. I'm not some inferior being; I'm the proud Dede! I have my own honor!"

The centaur siblings, Dade and Lucy, who had been rescued by Sul, witnessed all of this.

Dade immediately darted out and ran quickly toward Angelina. As he got closer, Dade fired three arrows at his men who were protecting Lukewood.

"Lord Sur, these poachers are here!"

Daidi, of course, wouldn't come here to die without any strategy.

Sure enough, Lukwood froze for a moment upon hearing Daddy's words, then looked around in alarm at the sky.

Taking advantage of their momentary daze, Daddy ran to Angelina's side and forcefully pulled her onto his back.

"Hold on tight, we're about to accelerate!"

The moment Angelina sat on his back, Dadi began to vigorously swing his four hooves again.

Fortunately, Angelina could provide some support, using protective charms to shield her and Dede from too much harm.

As a centaur, Daedy was extremely familiar with the Forbidden Forest. Even if Lukewood's men used teleportation, Daedy could easily outmaneuver them with a turn.

Even if the Fire Serpents who know the Killing Curse use it, Dede will use the rocks and vegetation in the Forbidden Forest to evade it.

Some of the deadly curses that were truly unavoidable were blocked by large rocks that Angelina summoned using ancient magic.

As Hogsmeade drew ever closer, Ludwig was unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to order his men to charge forward, for things had come to this point.

Lukewood looked at his men and felt the door key in his glove, and only then did he feel a little more at ease.

"They're still chasing us!"

“I know…don’t bother me…I need to…keep…breathing.”

Dadi also found it absurd. Was the girl on his back some kind of treasure? And these wizards, who looked like poachers, were chasing them so relentlessly.

"Help! Help!"

Finally, Daddy led Angelina into Hogsmeade, and Angelina began to shout for help.

Even though it was a day off, Hogsmeade was still quite crowded even in the evening.

Hearing the commotion Angelina and Daddy made, most people gathered around.

Even Cindy, the village's resident Auror, rushed over to check on the situation.

When Dadi saw the wizard dressed as an Auror, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Angelina immediately jumped off Daddy's back in a panic, took out a bottle of invigorating potion, and gave it to Daddy to drink.

"Don't worry, I'm just a little tired." Dadi drank some medicine, and his throat, which felt like it was on fire and being cut by the wind, finally felt much better. However, he had indeed exhausted himself today, as he was already very tired from traveling from Birdhill to the Forbidden Forest.

Cindy saw Ludwood arrive aggressively and immediately stepped in front of the group, asking, "Ludwood, what are you doing here?"

"You know perfectly well why you're asking this question. Just hand this girl over to me!" Ludwood was already thinking of risking his life, so he didn't care much about the Aurors anymore. At worst, he'd be wanted by the authorities afterward.

"What happened to you? Are you hurt, child?" Ollivander rushed outside from the store and spotted Angelina immediately.

“I don’t think you can take her away.” Cynthia, the owner of the Three Brooms, also stepped forward and stood in front of Angelina.

"Finally, I'll state it again: hand it over, or don't blame me!" Ludwood didn't want to clash with the entire Hogsmeade community, even though most of the villagers were content with their lot and didn't have much fighting skill. But as the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant, and Auror Cindy and Cynthia, the owner of the Three Broomsticks, were no ordinary people either.

“I’ll say it again, no!” Cynthia said firmly.

“Lukewood, you’ve already committed a crime, harming a child, a student at Hogwarts. Are you defying the laws of the Ministry of Magic?” Cindy asked sharply, her wand flashing red—the light of a disarming charm poised to be unleashed.

"If you won't give it to me, then I'll fight you!"

Lukewood roared angrily and unleashed a Killing Curse at Cynthia, but fortunately, Cynthia used a Summoning Charm to pull a manhole cover in the distance to block the attack, thus avoiding being hit.

Lukwood's attack set off a chaotic battle, with most ordinary residents fighting in groups of five or six against one of Lukwood's henchmen.

Even so, Hogsmeade's side couldn't immediately take down Lukwood's men; there's a significant difference between elite wizards and ordinary wizards.

Auror Cindy and Cynthia teamed up to deal with Lukewood.

"His spellcasting speed is off. I know him; he might have drunk Felix Felicis!"

"What?" Cindy exclaimed in surprise, but fortunately, he was an excellent Auror and was not distracted by it.

Cynthia and Cindy were actually at a disadvantage. Keep in mind that Ludwood used to be evenly matched with Cynthia, and a normal Ludwood would never be able to defeat the two of them.

"Admit defeat! Give me the girl! I might spare your lives! Look at those residents, many of them are already injured, aren't they? Is it worth dragging so many people down for the sake of one girl?"

Lukwood threatened again.

"is it?"

A voice that Lukewood least wanted to hear came from the sky.
