Chapter 344 The Game is Over
On Dumbledore and Grindelwald's side, as expected, was the dueling arena.
Just looking at the environment, you can tell that a platform was transformed right next to the hedge maze.
A barn owl had been waiting here with the letter in its mouth. When Dumbledore took the letter, the owl pecked the headmaster's fingers twice in a friendly manner.
The letter contains a request.
[Please duel with another warrior who arrived via the portkey to demonstrate your magic level.
The judges will give a score based on the warrior's strength, skills, and overall performance in the maze.
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. Although he didn't care much about the score of the game, he was always a good student and chose to follow the rules of the game.
What's more, it will be for the children of Hogwarts to watch, and taking action will also serve as a deterrent to the outside world.
The two greatest wizards of the wizarding world stood on both sides of the field, ready to duel again since their thrilling final battle half a century ago.
But this time it's an exhibition match.
No one really intended to hurt the other.
The two sides first bowed to each other very politely, and then held their wands straight in front of their chests. They were polite and elegant, which could be regarded as standard wizard duel etiquette.
Bagman was also giving the young wizards a scientific education on the formal etiquette of wizard duels in the audience.
Dumbledore smiled and used mist to interfere.
Thick fog quickly spread around, as if isolating the entire world.
Dumbledore's long silver beard fluttered in the wind, and the new wizard robe he changed into for today's game was also beautiful and colorful, which made him have a unique temperament. He was kind and gentle, yet revealed a childish innocence.
Grindelwald, standing opposite him, had heterochromatic eyes that were as hot as burning flames.
He also couldn't help but curl his lips and stared at his lover fiercely. The lingering atmosphere didn't seem like a duel, but rather like they were going to get married in the next second.
Bagman's commentary got stuck for a moment, and the audience in the audience had to eat this bowl of dog food, but they had to watch it. After all, the exhibition match specially shown to them by the top wizards can definitely teach them a lot.
The tip of the elder wand flickered with light, and Grindelwald was the first to attack.
A weakening aging curse flashed across the air above Dumbledore.
Dumbledore quickly flashed by Apparition, avoiding the curse and entering the cloud to become invisible. At the same time, he waved his wand and responded with a static stance weakening.
It didn't work either and was dodged.
How to say it? Because the wizards in the wizarding world are fragile, with high attack and low defense, basically every powerful wizard's defense, dodging, and life-saving abilities are maxed out.
If the strength of both sides is almost the same, it will be a tug-of-war. Don't expect the winner to be decided in a short time. It is more likely to be a situation where "you can't hit me and I can't hit you."
Immediately afterwards, the two sides began to cast spells at each other, just like they had done several times before.
Various dazzling magic lights intertwined and collided in the air, bursting out like fireworks, dazzling light and deafening roar.
The table top was also torn apart by the powerful magic, leaving deep grooves.
Then the mud surged and condensed from the cracks, forming a clay golem that slowly approached Dumbledore, but was cleared away by a Vulcan on Dumbledore's side, turning into dry and hard mud fragments that scattered all over the ground.
Neither of them used defensive spells very often, even Dumbledore, who was quite proficient in them.
One was confident that the other would not really hurt him, and the other was too familiar with each other. In fact, both of them knew exactly which defensive spells to use and which responses to use.
For the purpose of teaching, the two sides fired spells at each other for a while, and after wasting a wave of magic power, they began to demonstrate various styles of duels.
Wait for the attack, seize the opportunity, or focus on attacking, with the help of control spells...
Transfiguration and White Magic to counter common Black Magic…
When and how to use black magic...
Bagman was a little behind the times. Although he could understand what was going on, he was often a little slow and stuck. After all, wizards who played Quidditch and were in charge of sports events were not that skilled in combat. If you asked him to talk about the classic Quidditch moves, he could explain them clearly.
So Abernathy, the professor of the practical class, was temporarily replaced to explain various classic fighting methods. He was indeed familiar with fighting and spells, and he was not at all nervous when performing on the spot.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald demonstrated some basic routines to the young wizards, without any advanced spells.
Young wizards in the third or fourth grade can start thinking about and determining their preferred fighting style, and take the initiative to learn some corresponding spells to fill in the system.
The more spells you learn, the better. Learning too many spells without knowing them all and not being able to use them when needed is often a big taboo.
Some highly targeted spells can only be used in specific situations, but most of the time they are kept in the back of the box. It is worth learning - after all, you don't know if you will encounter any special situations in the future - but you must always practice some common spells to cope with various changes.
……
It is impossible for the exhibition match between the two professors who like to teach others to end in a short time.
As Furong was a guest from France, the situation over there was also of concern to some people.
The door key is made of an exquisite house model, and it corresponds to a real house.
But it was obviously a bit of a scam, as the door key was far from the real thing.
What I saw before me was a completely dilapidated house that had fallen into disrepair over the years.
The pretty little garden that came with the model house was actually overgrown with weeds, with no trace of flowers.
Fleur looked to the right.
It's a hedge maze.
Apparently, this abandoned house of some unknown wizard was specially moved there by the competition party for the test.
Furong sighed, carefully observing her surroundings while being wary of any danger that might arise at any time.
This deserted place was covered with dense vegetation, and rustling sounds could be heard from time to time, but nothing could be seen, which was a bit scary.
She gripped her wand tightly and walked forward carefully.
Next to the only way forward, there was a patch of flattened weeds, and a glass bottle shining with a rolled-up parchment inside.
It looks a bit like a message in a bottle.
Furong walked over carefully, picked up the glass bottle, turned it upside down into her palm, pinched one end, and pulled out the parchment.
[You approach this dilapidated house, perhaps it needs to be repaired back to its original appearance?
Be careful, the wizard's abandoned residence is full of magic, and all kinds of new creatures have moved in, which may cause damage to the house...】
This is the mission card.
Furong understood.
The original reference is the portkey that transported her here...
Restoring a wizard's dwelling...
I guess there are all kinds of strange gadgets, so you have to be careful.
Furong was alert to her surroundings and stepped silently on the grass.
Thick weeds sometimes have some advantages. At least they make little noise when you step on them, and can make you as light as a cat.
She tried to see through the tall, shadowy weeds.
The garden is filled with goblins and thorns that need to be driven out.
And the weeds have to be burned, and the basic, presentable flowers have to be grown again through the spell...
Of course, it is not the case that a good cook cannot cook without rice.
A packet of herb seeds sits on a worn stone table in a garden center.
But it is a mixture, with all kinds of seeds, and you have to identify and judge by yourself which ones are economic and ornamental herbs suitable for planting in an ordinary wizard garden.
...Of course, a normal wizard family would not deliberately seek out lethal plants in the garden.
Well, except for some green wizards who specialize in herbology.
Plus the renovations to the interior of the house...
Furong made a simple plan in her mind.
It's not that dangerous, but it will probably consume a lot of magic power.
She decided to check out the trouble inside the house, get an overview of the situation and then plan.
If you feel you can't finish it, you may have to give up part of it.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
Although the French wizard felt that the spell cast by this friend who was called a thief was really disgraceful, he could not care less now.
When I pushed open the door, a cold and damp breath hit me in the face, mixed with the smell of mold and decay.
When you step on the wooden board, there is an occasional harsh "squeaking" sound.
She frowned, waved her wand, used fluorescent flickering light, and walked in as carefully as possible to carefully examine the situation in the house.
Under the floor were large patches of rotten wood.
On the shelves and in other corners, there are some dark magic items randomly placed - it feels like the residence of a dark wizard with some heritage.
Furong was not so foolish as to touch these unknown black magic items, but walked around them cautiously.
Soon, she discovered the most urgent problem.
The charcoal pile in the fireplace was slightly dark red, with a faint flame - it was probably an added difficulty by the competition organizers, with a faint magical flame remaining to simulate some family situations.
A fire ash snake was being bred inside, and outside the fireplace there were traces of ash left behind by the fire ash snake crawling out.
Furong's expression changed slightly.
If we don’t deal with it, let alone repair it, the house will burn down!
She cast the spell decisively and quickly, using a spring of clear water to extinguish the fire ash snake that was about to be born in the fireplace, as well as the pile of charcoal.
"Zila" sound.
The water was poured onto the burning charcoal, stirring up a little white steam, and water also slowly flowed out along the bottom of the fireplace, carrying some ashes and carbon slag.
"Clean up!"
Now the water stains and the charcoal pile disappeared.
"The trace appears!"
A golden S-shaped trace of a snake crawling and moving appeared on the ground, and the shape of a fire ash snake appeared on it.
Furong followed the trail of the fire ash snake that crawled out.
During the pursuit, he was almost bitten by a vixen that jumped out from the curtains.
A 3X-level magical creature, it has a human body like a fairy, but is much smaller, and has two more arms and two more legs, and is covered with thick black hair. Its glittering wings are thick and curved like beetle wings.
Most importantly, they have two rows of sharp and poisonous teeth. If you are bitten, you need to take antidote.
They like cold climates - it's almost February now. They can lay 500 eggs at a time and bury them. The eggs take two to three weeks to hatch - this kind of eggs has a certain value as a potion material.
This creature likes to live in fabrics and can easily breed in large numbers in the house.
Normal removal requires fox charm spray.
But the problem is that Furong couldn't find it in the house.
So you have to use ice magic to attack in a range and control the strength to kill the insects.
But she followed the trail of the fire ash snake first.
When magical fires burn out of control for too long, the Ash Snake is created. With glowing red eyes and a thin, grayish-white body, it emerges from unattended flames and swims to the shadows of homes, seeking shelter, leaving a trail of ash in its wake.
Its life span is only one hour, during which time it will find a dark and secluded place to lay eggs, and then its body will break apart and turn into dust. The fire ash snake eggs are bright red and emit a fiery light.
