Chapter 262
"Boom"!
The walls of the castle were shaken again, and the few dust on the beams that had not been shaken fell again.
The dust falls slowly under the slanting sunlight, giving people a feeling of being intoxicated.
But in this silent atmosphere, Hogwarts was not peaceful.
"Come on, someone, he was hit by a stone"!
Several dusty students held up another injured student, hurriedly opened the door of the infirmary, and fumbled to lift the injured person onto the bed.
"Wait me a moment"!
Ms. Hufflepuff wiped the sweat from her forehead, then forcefully broke the arrow shaft stuck in a student's leg, and then pulled out the barbed arrow from the other side.
The student let out a scream, and the classmate who was helping him immediately sprayed healing potion on his wound.
The wound stopped bleeding quickly and then began to scab.
"His bones are broken, I will reattach them now."
Ms. Hufflepuff's fingertips flashed with white light, and the student's arm twisted at a strange angle began to slowly rebound, and finally became a normal state.
The war has been going on for two months. In the early days, Hogwarts generally had a slight advantage.
Especially since Dumbledore has brought many very convenient and highly effective spells, and Zhang Qi will also teach everyone some tactics that are convenient to use when the gap between the enemy and ourselves is very different from time to time, so the Holy See's army in the early stage Suffered a lot.
For example, the castle will suddenly play noise in the middle of the night. The interior of the castle will not affect the students' normal sleep due to the effect of sound insulation magic, but the Papal State's army has no means of blocking the sound.
This move seriously affected the opponent's combat ability during the day. The soldiers were always listless and grumpy every day, and even the operation of the large siege machinery occasionally had problems.
However, the outermost barrier could not protect the castle for too long, and it disappeared naturally after the magic power was completely exhausted.
Since the barrier disappeared, the enemy could directly attack the outside of the castle, and students began to suffer casualties one after another.
However, the castle always has some defense mechanisms, and Hogwarts is located in the center of the lake, so the opponent can only transport troops through small boats.
Using small boats to transport troops, the end result was that someone was beaten and the boat capsized halfway. Most of the soldiers fell into the lake and fed the fish. A few lucky ones were dragged around with armor that was extremely heavy after being soaked in water. , rolling and crawling back to the shore from the shallow water area.
"boom"!
There was another loud noise, and just now, the rocks thrown by the giant catapult hit the astronomical tower.
However, with the flash of bright light, after the smoke and dust fell, the astronomical tower did not suffer any damage.
Since Gryffindor is a melee-type mage, the other three people simply arranged for him to serve as the magic source for the castle's defense in the astronomy tower.
As long as his magic power is not exhausted, no one can penetrate the main structure of the castle.
But this does not mean that fragile windows and other parts will not be smashed by stones. The flying gravel and arrows flying from a distance still killed and injured several students.
At this moment, Zhang Qi was sitting next to Gryffindor. The telescope he used just now was in Gryffindor's hand, and Zhang Qi himself was concentrating on handling the sword.
"Hey, why did you use your own blood to temper that sword? I always feel like you are doing black magic"...
There was a strange smell in the air, it seemed that the protein was a little burnt, but the main thing was a smell of steel.
"I don't quite know how to handle your sword, so I'm going to just leave it to instinct."
Zhang Qi answered casually, and then pulled the sword out of the quenching bucket filled with blood.
It was a bit strange to say that the sword did not have any traces of burnt marks on it, but instead it looked increasingly smooth and sharp.
Gu "I also know a little bit about the alchemy of the Holy See, but I have never seen such a strange alchemy method like yours. You actually choose a form that is close to the way we depict the magic circle for alchemy connection. I really don't know. How did you think of it?"
Gryffindor looked at the dense patterns on the sword and let out a sigh.
"In later generations, a very legendary alchemist combined magic circles and alchemy to create the discipline of alchemical matrix, and he will be famous for this."
Zhang Qi once again used black oily flames to completely cover the sword body, letting the power of fire slowly penetrate the metal, killing the original consciousness of the metal and giving them new life.
"The trebuchet started working again. This time... oh, it passed over the tower where I used to live, and then fell into the lake. Unfortunately, the weather vane was wiped off. I really like that broom-shaped weather vane. of".
Gryffindor held the telescope in his hand and kept mumbling something.
"Hasn't the opponent's army attacked the city on a large scale yet?"
Zhang Qi once again took out the sword for quenching, and asked casually while quenching.
"Not yet, but the other side has been cutting down trees to make boats in the past few days. Those priests can easily dry the wood with the sacred light, so I guess their attack will only take place in the past few days."
Gryffindor said as he looked around with his binoculars.
"Why do you think they insist on attacking us? We just have more special abilities than them, why do we have to fight to the death?"
"gula (greed)".
Zhang Qi did not listen to what Gryffindor said at this time, but was talking to himself.
"Because of greed? Your idea is indeed correct, because I feel the same way."
Gryffindor shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the window.
Fresh wind kept blowing in from the window, and the fiery red sword body lit up with countless delicate patterns, looking particularly solemn.
"This sword seems to be almost finished. It only needs to be tempered with the dragon's blood provided by Mr. Slytherin, and it should be completed."
Zhang Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then planned to go find Slytherin with this sword.
But at this moment, the Papal State's trebuchet was in operation again.
This time, Hogwarts Castle isn't particularly lucky.
"Boom"!
With a loud noise, the astronomical tower at the highest point shook violently. Zhang Qi, who was holding the long sword, was a little unsteady on his feet and almost fell down.
"Damn, what happened"!
Gryffindor cursed and stood up, sticking his head out of the window.
The smoke dispersed, and the city gate smashed into pieces by huge rocks was revealed in front of everyone.
After all, wood cannot compete with something harder, even with magical support.
And just in the distance, densely packed boats filled the lake like a swarm of bees, with soldiers in full body armor standing on them.
The helmets obscured their faces, but bloodthirsty gazes shone through the eye holes.
The opponent launched a general attack.
