“Ahem!”

However, before Dumbledore could speak, the wizards surrounding Dumbledore and Wentworth instantly took out their wands from their arms and pointed them at Dumbledore, with a look of alertness on their faces.

"Everyone, you took the trouble to bring me and my students here with the portkey, but you didn't say a word, and now you point your wands at us. This doesn't seem like a good way to treat guests!"

Dumbledore glanced around and spoke in a calm tone.

Hearing Dumbledore's question, the wizards around subconsciously turned their eyes to the short wizard in the cloak.

After a while, the wizard said sinisterly: "Albus Dumbledore? I say, this is actually a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"

Hearing the words of the cloaked wizard, Dumbledore slowly shook his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know how you did it, but putting a portkey on my student's bed doesn't seem like a misunderstanding!"

The wizard in the cloak sneered, and his cloak seemed to be lowered a little, and he responded:

"That's true. Our original target was just a first-year student at Hogwarts, but unexpectedly, we attracted the headmaster of Hogwarts. In this case, let's all stay here!"

As he spoke, the wizard in the cloak suddenly waved his hand. Under the dark cloak, a dry hand tightly grasped a wand and stretched it towards Dumbledore and Wentworth.

At the same time, an unknown spell shot out and headed straight towards Dumbledore and Wentworth.

"Oh my god, silent casting?!"

Wentworth saw this and asked himself how could he be so worthy of such a reward. Why were all the wizards he met casually casting spells? However, Wentworth, who was well prepared, did not hesitate and immediately took his wand and hid behind Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was indeed worthy of being the wizard who ended two Dark Lords. Dumbledore had raised his wand at some point.

The spell cast by the wizard in the black cloak suddenly stopped when it was about to reach Dumbledore, and then a red light became brighter, and then disappeared into thin air.

In front of Dumbledore, there was an almost transparent barrier, which was vaguely visible in the red light, making it difficult to see clearly.

But it can be vaguely seen that in front of Dumbledore's wand, the invisible barrier is centered on Dumbledore's wand, covering Dumbledore and Wentworth in a semi-elliptical shape.

"Great, Principal. This is a protective spell, right? It seems that this little bit behind me is still missing. Please take the trouble to complete this bit behind me! We still have two wizards behind us!"

But Dumbledore gasped and said:

"Wentworth, be careful. Under normal circumstances, the protective spell can only protect yourself. I forcibly expanded the range of the protective spell to protect you, but I am old after all. I didn't expect that I couldn't cover you completely."

"You must guard this gap behind you, otherwise, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to leave tonight!"

After hearing what Dumbledore said, the smile on Wentworth's face froze, but he then said with a forced smile: "Headmaster, are you kidding me? Are you testing me? Come on, with just a few wild wizards like them, are they your opponents?"

Dumbledore, still breathing heavily, said:

At the same time, the wizard wearing a cloak on the opposite side also said sinisterly:

"As expected of Dumbledore, you can tell our origins at a glance. Yes, we are indeed wizard hunters. Your bounty in the hunter market has always been at the top of the list, Albus Dumbledore!"

"If you were alone today, we would definitely leave without saying anything. However, today you brought such a burden with you and you are still determined to save his life. Maybe we will become famous in one battle!"

As the cloaked wizard hunter spoke, he raised his hand and waved to the wizards around him to move forward and attack Dumbledore together.

However, surprisingly, after the cloaked wizard hunter finished his action, no wizard took even a step forward as he requested.

Seeing this, the wizard hunter wearing a cloak paused and glanced behind him. Then, the bald wizard next to him straightened his chest and shouted to the people around him:

"Can't you hear what the boss said? There are only two of them. Let's attack them together. No matter which of them stays tonight, we will make a lot of money!"

As the bald wizard finished speaking, the other wizard hunters looked at each other and seemed to be interested.

But at this moment, a wizard hunter behind Dumbledore retreated towards the dense forest behind him, saying: "Everyone, I am here to seek wealth, not to die! Attack Albus Dumbledore? In today's wizarding world, if Dumbledore says he is second, no one dares to claim to be first! Goodbye, everyone!"

The blond and blue-eyed wizard ran straight into the dense forest behind him without saying a word.

Seeing the wizard hunter walk away without stopping, the remaining wizard hunters seemed to be a little undecided for a moment.

At this moment, Dumbledore's voice sounded again: "It's bad, Wentworth. That guy ran away instead of Disapparating. It's obvious that there is a magic set up here to prevent Disapparation. I originally wanted to take you with me, but it seems that I can't do it!"

Wentworth responded with a frown on his face: "Principal Dumbledore, you don't have to say so loudly that you want to escape! It will greatly affect your demeanor as a master!"

After listening to the conversation between Dumbledore and Wentworth, the wizard hunter wearing a cloak on the opposite side said loudly: "If you are so afraid of death, don't come out to be a wizard hunter! What we do is to exchange our lives for money!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his wand again and pointed it in Dumbledore's direction.

At the same time, seeing this, the other wizard hunters no longer hesitated and pointed their wands at Dumbledore and Wentworth.

Seeing this, Dumbledore hurriedly pretended to try his best, and the protective spell was almost real under the output of Dumbledore's magic power.

However, behind Dumbledore, where Wentworth was standing, there was still a part that was not covered by the protective spell.

And Dumbledore also said loudly to Wentworth:

"Wentworth, the defense behind me depends on you!"
