Jerry spoke hesitantly. "But destroying all the weapons... will still be quite difficult."
Jimmy looked puzzled when he heard that. "What's difficult about it?"
"We can work together—two people handle the protective charms, two handle the Blasting Curses. Isn't that how we usually deal with things?"
