He did not take the stairs, but fell down through the gap in the stairwell and landed in the shadow at the bottom of the stairs. The hall on the first floor was converted into a temporary warehouse, with dozens of wooden boxes arranged in several rows, with the mark White Raven Chamber of Commerce printed on the lids.
The six wizards sat on the wooden box and gathered around in boredom, watching two of them play Wizard's Chess. It looked like they were keeping vigil.
Lin Ze When he walked out of the shadows, the wizard facing the stairs was the first to raise his head.
"You--"
"Stupefy"
A red light hit the door directly, and the person leaned over the wooden box.
The remaining five touched the wand at the same time, but Lin Ze didn't give them time to touch it.
The second "Disarming Charm" shot directly at the two people on the left. The opponent's wand flew directly from his waist, and was caught in Lin Ze's hand. His body was entangled by the vines rising from the ground and unable to move.
Another shot of "Imperius Curse" hit the one on the right who had just stood up.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, one of the remaining two ran straight to the back of the hall, and the other rushed upstairs.
Lin Ze waved the wand "Vine Growth" again and wrapped it around the ankle of the person going upstairs. He pulled down and the person fell down the stairs and rolled half a circle.
The one who ran towards the back of the hall had already opened an iron door and got in. The door panel slammed shut behind him.
Lin Ze Follow me. Behind the iron gate is a cement ramp going down. At the end of the ramp is a double iron fence. Behind the fence is the tunnel called Broad Shoulder.
The iron fence is locked, and the lock is engraved with demon-forbidden runes.
Lin Ze didn't bother to pry, the dragon scales covered his palm, he held the lock body and twisted it, and the lock core snapped into two pieces.
The fence was pushed open, and the cold wind from the tunnel came out with a musty smell.
The tunnel is very high, with an arched brick roof, and rails on the ground. A pedestrian passage in the middle of the rails has been cleared, and old mail bags and abandoned mail sorting racks are piled on both sides.
Lin Ze walked about fifty steps inside, when a flashlight lit up in front.
Behind the light stood people, row after row, blocking the tunnel tightly.
Lin Ze took a cursory glance and saw that there were at least forty people there, much more than White Raven Chamber of Commerce's shop.
Human wave tactics?
It has to be said that it is rare for Britain Wizarding World to have so many wizards and thugs on the other side. If it were Voldemort, this little one hundred people would have been led by him to attack various Ministry of Magic contact points.
In fact, he did exactly that...
Standing at the front was a tall wizard with slicked hair, wearing a dark purple suit and vest, without a wand in his hand, and holding a glass of red wine.
"Lin Ze." He took a sip of wine, "You came faster than I expected."
"Claude·Weil?"
"That's right." Weil handed the wine glass to the person next to him and straightened the cuffs of his vest.
"White Raven Chamber of Commerce has been doing business for so long. You are the first person to force me to come forward in person. You deserve praise." He clapped his hands as he spoke.
Lin Ze looked at the forty or so people behind him, and then at Weil's calm and composed look.
"You're standing so close to the front, do you want it to be easier for me to hit you?"
Weil smiled, "I bet you don't dare. The top of this tunnel is Holloway District's main road. If you use a powerful spell, the whole street will collapse. You cannot bear this responsibility."
Lin Ze nodded, as if he was seriously considering his words.
Then he disappeared.
Then, Weil's smile froze on his face.
Lin Ze used "Apparition" to dodge directly into the middle of the crowd. Dragon scales covered his body. He grabbed the wizard's wand on the left with his left hand and pulled it out. He punched the chest of the wizard on the right with his right hand.
Two people fell down at the same time, leaving a space in the middle of the crowd.
"You're right." Lin Ze's voice came from the crowd, with a lightness that sent chills down the spine.
"Then there's no need for magic."
There was an explosion in the tunnel.
More than forty wizards were crowded in a narrow tunnel, with their wands drawn out, but Lin Ze was among them, looking at each other in confusion. They were all on the left and right, and no one dared to make the first move.
A few brave ones tried to cast spells into the crowd, but Lin Ze dodged and missed the spell, knocking down two of their own people. The remaining people didn't even dare to move and just kept retreating.
Lin Ze ran rampant through the crowd, using his fists and feet, his knuckles wrapped in dragon scales, and someone fell flat with every punch.
In fact, he didn't use much force. The fighting ability of this group of people is not on the same level as the core members of Death Eaters. They were probably hired by Galleon.
He advanced a dozen steps and found himself lying on the ground behind him.
Weil looked ugly, got up, turned around and walked deeper into the tunnel.
Lin Ze caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and snatched a wand from the nearest gray cloak's hand with his right hand. Without looking, he flicked it with his backhand, and a red light chased Weil's back.
Weil threw himself to the side, and the spell flew past his shoulder, exploding a crater on the roof of the tunnel bricks.
"You're crazy!" Weil got up from the ground, his clothes were covered in dust.
Lin Ze kicked away the last gray cloak blocking the road, and walked towards Weil, stepping on people scattered all over the ground.
"Don't worry, I've been holding back my strength."
Weil took two steps back and took out a pocket wand only the size of a palm from the inner pocket of his vest.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows.
This was the first time he had seen such a short wand.
Weil pointed his pocket wand to the ground, and a circle of dark red runes lit up on the tunnel floor. It spread out from Weil's feet at an extremely fast speed, and it spread in front of Lin Ze's feet in less than two seconds.
At the same time as those runes lit up, Lin Ze felt as if the magic power in his body was pulled by something, and it surged out faster.
Draw a magic circle?
Lin Ze squatted down, covered his palms with dragon scales, and punched the rune in front of his feet.
The floor tiles were broken, and the runes were broken into pieces. The exposed broken tiles were filled with red smoke.
Weil's expression changed, and he tapped the pocket wand on the ground again. This time, runes spread out from all sides at the same time, surrounding Lin Ze in the middle.
Lin Ze shook his head and dodged directly behind Weil with "Boundary Break". He grabbed the wrist holding his pocket wand with his left hand and twisted it upward. The wand flew out of his hand and was nailed to the roof of the tunnel brick.
Weil was twisted so hard that he spun around in a circle and hit his face on the railway track. He suffered a nosebleed and fell down on the spot.
Lin Ze stepped on his back and twisted his arm behind his back.
"How many similar warehouses do you have?"
Weil gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"I think you may not know me well. The rules Ministry of Magic cannot use torture and Unforgivable Curses are of no use to me. If you want to suffer some hardships, then you can continue to pretend to be a tough guy."
Weil's face changed after hearing this, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is... there is an underground warehouse at Holloway District, just two streets west of this tunnel. It used to be an air raid shelter."
"What's in it?"
"Goods, and... some wizard supplies..."
Lin Ze asked, "What are wizard consumables?"
"It's... the wizard who provides us with blood and body parts..."
