Chapter 68, Return and Ending January 1, 1349, Oxford, Kingdom of England There were scorch marks all over the ground, ruins and broken walls, corpses strewn across the fields, lingering smoke, and cries and wailings everywhere.
When the faint morning light once again illuminated the earth, the copycat version of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry built by the time-travelers on the site of the original Oxford University had turned into a pile of miserable dilapidated ruins, and the surrounding urban buildings had also suffered a catastrophe.
Even at dawn, many buildings in the city of Oxford were still ablaze, with plumes of black smoke rising from the cracks that had been shaken open, leaving the survivors in a mess.
What was originally a joyful and noisy graduation ceremony and New Year's Eve banquet eventually turned into such a bloody tragedy that made people cry.
The destroyed buildings were far more than just the Great Hall and Ballroom of Hogwarts College.
In fact, half of Oxford was razed to the ground.
The unlucky Headmistress Anne of Hufflepuff and Headmaster of Gryffindor Jolick were both unconscious in the banquet hall explosion because they drank too much wine and were already unconscious.
Therefore, they were unable to save themselves in time.
Although Queen Joan, who is also the head of Ravenclaw, did not suffer much physical harm, she was first forced to watch a bloody horror movie in the middle of the night by the Romanian silver-haired twins and Miss Ma Tong, and then witnessed this earth-shattering incident with her own eyes.
The tragedy of the explosion caused him to be mentally overstimulated for a while.
He is still in a trance and is forced to stay in bed to recuperate.
Only Slytherin Dean Boccaccio, a great writer, happened to drunkenly leave the banquet hall with three Ravenclaw girls in his arms on the eve of the explosion, and returned to his residence to have sex together.
Zed was so frightened that he became impotent on the spot and almost had a wind attack.
At this time, he seemed to be the commander-in-chief of disaster relief.
He was braving the howling cold wind and, with a hoarse voice, he continued to lead the surviving students to venture deep into the ruins to search for the wounded and rescue them.
His beautiful robe covered with lace was already dirty.
Like a rag, wrinkled and shapeless.
In addition, the nobles and gentry of the Kingdom of England who had received the news, under the urgent summons of the "angels", also led people through the random door to prepare to participate in the rescue.
However, there were also some gangsters who sneaked into the city to take advantage of the situation, robbed the refugees of their belongings, and even took away their children.
The cries were so loud that the originally elegant and quiet Oxford university town was as noisy and chaotic as a battlefield military camp in medieval Europe.
But, at the end of the day, how did this damn New Year’s Eve explosion happen?
Although such explosions have become common in the modern world in the future, you must know that it is only the middle of the fourteenth century.
It stands to reason that Europeans have just learned about the oldest gunpowder formula through the transfer of Arabs.
Without even the most primitive artillery equipment, how could it possibly be possible to carry out such a bomb terrorist attack with such high technological content that leveled a building to the ground in an instant?
Well, strictly speaking, this seems to be the evil caused by Doraemon and other visitors from other worlds.
After the disaster broke out, the English court in London mobilized all reliable personnel as quickly as possible to come to Oxford to perform a rescue mission.
The Pope of Avignon, the Queen of Naples who lives in Provence, as well as the leading figures in Florence and the members of the Grand Council of Venice also came through the random door to check on the situation of their students, and were ready to sit down together and hold an emergency meeting.
An incident management meeting.
In the courtyard behind the Ravenclaw Tower, a large open space has been cleared by rescue workers, and a number of tents have been set up urgently to be used as temporary hospitals.
Countless family members of the wounded crowded outside the isolation zone built with barbed wire in horror.
They watched helplessly as their relatives, whose fate had long been unknown, were carried into tents with red crosses on them.
They prayed for God's blessing with tears.
Occasionally, there is a weak and painful groan, or a muttering of "This guy is hopeless", which can cause several nervous family members to fall to the ground and faint, as well as several babies lying in the arms of their mothers. , also burst into tears, making the atmosphere here extremely depressing.
Most of the wounded who had been burned by the fire had their skin ripped open, their skin was charred, and they were in a state of shock.
Most of the survivors picked out from the ruins were bloody and miserable, and there were countless broken hands and feet.
Even in the modern hospitals of the 21st century, it is quite difficult to deal with such injuries.
Although they can inject anesthetics for analgesia, replenish large amounts of body fluids, disinfect and bandage wounds and other anti-infective treatments, whether the injured can survive is still a question. , in the end, it still has to rely on personal will.
Fortunately, although it is the fourteenth century where medical technology is extremely backward, thanks to the power of time travellers, the wounded in medieval Europe are fortunate enough to enjoy medical services with the technological level of the twenty-second century.
"Meow, something more dazzling than the sun, something more adorable than the holy cat, please appear in the flow of time.
In your great name, I swear in this light, to these people who believe in the Lord Lambs, grant equal salvation to cats, group therapy, cat Japanese" Accompanied by the Japanese curses copied from the Magic Encyclopedia Dictionary by the Hogwarts students, which can be called malicious and cute, groups of warm holy white lights fell from the sky like waterfalls, rushing towards those who were moaning.
The wounded instantly eliminated the germs on everyone's body, healed their bones, skin and internal organs, brought them light, warmth and vitality, and replenished their energy and physical strength.
In this way, after the treatment spell is completed, no matter how seriously injured the person is, as long as they are still breathing when they are brought in, they will heal quickly at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye, and will soon fully recover from health, and it seems that due to After bathing in the holy light, they all felt waves of warmth flowing straight through them.
After pouring it into his own internal organs, his whole body was filled with inexhaustible vitality.
Then, under the gaze of his family members, one after another, the wounded who had been bruised and dying just a moment ago, sat up in confusion one after another as if nothing had happened.
Then he was hugged tightly by his wife, children, relatives and friends who were in tears, and he burst into tears.

Everywhere is filled with excitement and joy, as well as the warmest thanks and cheers However, in the face of those corpses that had already expired when they were brought in, even "healing" could not bring them back to life.
Therefore, in this joyous atmosphere of the survivors, you can occasionally hear a few desperate and sad cries, followed by a few dejected guys with dull expressions, carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth and pushing through the crowd, and then Place it on the open space outside the isolation zone.
Next, one or more women and children's family members would rush up next to the stretcher.
They would half-kneel down regardless of their filthiness, clutching the edge of the stretcher with both hands, and cry until they died.
In addition, while these survivors were being rescued, others were dying: the English soldiers and Papal Guards who were ordered to come to Oxford to maintain order soon erected a row of gallows on the banks of the Thames, and visited the ruins of Oxford.
Are the caught pickpockets and robbers executed collectively?
There was a trial and defense, and no will or last prayer was recorded.
The prisoner was simply hung on a shelf, pulled the springboard door and fell down.
The death row prisoner died without even having time to kick his legs and struggled.
There was nothing he could do in the chaos.
It is common sense at all times and in all countries to be ruthless and use heavy codes.
If it were normal times, watching executions has always been a popular entertainment activity for the people, the gallows would have been surrounded by all kinds of idle spectators from all walks of life, and there might even be pickpockets and hawkers taking advantage of the opportunity.
But in this moment of sadness and destruction, no one cared about the death of these sinners at all.
Their corpses could only hang lonely on the gallows, swaying in the wind and dancing "tap dance" On the other hand, Paladin Levi, who had not slept all night and had been working continuously for more than ten hours, was sitting on a broken stone pillar with a dull expression, his hair as messy as a chicken coop stained with dust. , his bloodshot eyes were staring blankly at the ground.
Opposite him stood a surviving Hogwarts teacher, who was stammering to report to Levi the number of casualties that had just been counted.
The number of casualties is actually just the number of dead and missing.
Due to the incredible curative effect of the healing technique, any wounded person who is still breathing can be rescued as long as they are alive and bathed in the holy light.
And those who cannot be rescued will naturally be dead.
"Haha, so to speak, in the disaster last night, our Hogwarts house lost two deans, three teachers, at least one hundred and fifty students, two teachers and one The bodies of more than a hundred students have not been found and their whereabouts are unknown, which may be a disaster.
There were more than 200 servants, prostitutes, musicians, and singers in the banquet hall, but only ten survived in the end.
In addition, more than 1,000 Oxford citizens were bombarded by meteors, fire showers, dragon slashes, and fires.
At least 800 houses were reduced to ashes as a result of the spread of the epidemic and were killed or missing.”
After listening to the other party's stammering and incoherent report, and combining the information reported by others, Levi gritted his teeth, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and recounted almost word for word, "And the cause of such a huge catastrophe , but only because of the students from two Gryffindor houses.
In order to compete for the favor of a popular prostitute, they were openly jealous at the New Year's banquet, and used the magic gifted by God to fight each other.
Damn it, do these bastards know what they are doing?
How dare they waste the power given by God?
This is simply blasphemy.
's mortal sin" "Mr.
Paladin, I think they were already drunk and didn't know anything before they took action."
Well, I should have thought of it.
Judging from the reputation of British football hooligans in later generations, once these British guys master the powerful magic, they will do incredible stupid things.
No wonder the magic described in those Western fantasy novels Teachers often have to abstain from alcohol.
Looking at the pile of building remains not far away that had been turned into rubble and ruins, Levi couldn't help but rub his temples with throbbing veins and thought so. oshow7:
