454 champion
Early the next morning, Karan woke up from his sleep.
He had already seen how powerful the players were yesterday, and it was he who shouted out the words "unimaginable".
This is indeed hard to imagine, whether it is Hela's dream messenger or Adam's tornado ancient magic - especially Adam's magic, which is really amazing, because the incantation time of ancient magic is very long and is not applicable. It was a duel, but Adam just did it.
Of course, Arthur's technique of summoning the black dragon is quite surprising - even if it was just a mistake.
Callan was still the one cooking, and Snape gradually woke up after hearing the sound and consciously became Callan's assistant.
By the time Lily and Meadows emerged from the bedroom inside, breakfast was ready.
Lily picked up a piece of browned bread, spread some butter on it, and added a few slices of vegetables and ham. She said with emotion: "I never thought that there would be a day when you would take care of me."
"Yes." Meadows said with the same emotion: "Thankfully I called you here, otherwise I would have to go to Mr. Newt's for a few days."
Karan rolled his eyes silently, and then he suddenly asked Meadows: "Have the vendors who appeared yesterday been investigated?"
Meadows paused for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Karan said: "I saw a vendor who specializes in gambling yesterday. His whole body was wrapped in bandages. I don't know what he looked like. He looked like a customer at the Pig's Head Bar. In addition, these vendors are all Apparated... I suspect there is something wrong with this person."
Snape and Lily blinked, they had not expected this level at all.
Meadows did not ignore Callan's opinion: "I remember that person, let's go take a look today... Well, by the way, call Frank and Alice too."
Frank Longbottom and Alice had graduated, and they undoubtedly joined the Ministry of Magic, hoping to become Aurors.Now they are patrolling the tent area, and Karan and his friends met them yesterday.
After having a full meal, several people walked out of the tent and successfully found Frank and Alice. They were standing in front of an extremely exaggerated tent and worried. There were not only fountains around the tent, but also a huge civet lying on the tent. Top.
Karan remembered this tent. They had seen it when they first arrived, and there was an equally huge swallow-tailed dog opposite, but the swallow-tailed dog had shrunk and returned to its normal size.
"These foreign wizards really like to break the rules."
Frank explained with a sad face: "Yesterday, Alice and I communicated with the family across the street for a long time before we asked them to restore the swallow-tailed dog... I didn't expect that Aurors still need to do this kind of work."
"He's a trainee Auror." Alice explained a little more. She pushed her boyfriend to the civet tent, and then shouted a few times: "Sir? Madam? Are you there?"
There was a sound of weak footsteps inside, and the wizard who appeared startled several people - it was Arthur who accidentally summoned the fire dragon yesterday, but now he seemed to have not slept all night, his face was haggard, and his face was horribly pale. .
He mumbled something, and Frank and Alice looked at each other silently, neither of them understanding what the other was saying.
Meadows stepped forward, but he didn't expect that she could understand and communicate normally with the other party.
Arthur glanced at the civet on the roof of the tent, and nodded weakly.
After he walked back into the tent, Meadows turned around and explained: "He is French, and I happen to know some French. I told him about the civet, and he said it was no problem."
"But why is his face so ugly?" Frank asked in surprise.
"Probably because of guilt." Meadows explained casually: "He made a big mistake yesterday and destroyed the playing field, but maybe he was worried that this would make him disqualified from the game. The referee team The verdict against him has not yet come down, to be precise, he did not really lose the game yesterday."
Arthur returned with his wand and cast a spell at the civet, which instantly turned it into a well-behaved black cat, at least on the surface.
After everything was resolved, the two also knew the reason why Meadows came.
"Suspicious vendor?" Alice immediately took over the job: "No problem, we will go there together in the afternoon."
The group of people immediately separated, and then got together again in the afternoon.
They looked for the vendor from yesterday, and finally found him in the densest area with stalls.
Karan and the others waited silently in the distance. Frank and Alice stepped forward to check, and then walked back after communicating with each other for a while.
"The threat can be eliminated."
Frank said easily: "That person is a vampire, so he has to wrap himself up. The sunlight will make them weak."
From Lily's point of view, this didn't look like the threat had been eliminated at all. She stayed away from the vampire stalls during the rest of the game to avoid any problems.
"What's the problem?" Karan said helplessly: "Unless the vampire is crazy, he would think of committing murder here."
Snape said nothing, he just puffed up his chest silently, as if to say that he would protect Lily.
Lily glanced at them and involuntarily moved closer to Meadows. Only in this way could she feel safe enough.
Soon, when the time came for the game to resume, they walked to the gymnasium, which had been repaired. The broken holes in the wall were restored to their original appearance, and even the charred grass grew more lush than before.
"Eh?"
Karan suddenly thought: "How is a Quidditch match like that that lasts for several days held?"
This is not without examples. Some Quidditch matches cannot end in time because the Golden Snitch cannot be caught, and can only continue forever. As a result, some games drag on for several days.
The only person present who could answer this question was Meadows. She said: "Competitors usually have substitutes. If not, they may sleep secretly on the broom. As for the audience, they are more casual. There are also some people Food and accommodation are all in the auditorium.”
"Okay, here we are."
They returned to the box on the top floor again, and Meadows sat directly between Lily and Snape, making it easier for them to escape at any time, while Karan got Sethul.
After learning yesterday's lesson, she no longer dared not make the slightest preparation. Many viewers had the same idea as her and sat down holding a broomstick.
The game soon resumed amid cheers. Arthur did not lose his qualification for the game. Destroying the field was not a serious violation, as it often happened in previous duel competitions.
Unfortunately, he was in poor condition due to not sleeping all night, and he was defeated by the opponent in a short time.
Of course, it's also possible that he can only exert his highest combat power when the spell goes wrong.
Although it seemed a bit dull, many viewers couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want yesterday's accident to happen again.
Today's game was still exciting. Hela's Dream Messenger made everyone feel troublesome. Every one of her opponents fell down before they could turn around, unable to resist the attack.
Adam's performance was equally impressive.Judging from the look on his face, he seemed to have rested, but he did not continue to use the powerful ancient magic. Instead, he chose a face-to-face duel, and he still won the game.
The second day of the game ended with excitement and cheers. Today, the players did not make any big mistakes. At most, a few people were injured by spells, and they were all sent to St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic in time. The interesting thing is that Ka Lan also saw the St. Mungo's advertisement on the advertising screen——
[St. Mungo's, the second training ground for duelists. 】
I just don’t know what to train for.
After walking out of the gym, Lily asked with unfinished content: "Will the game be over completely tomorrow?"
Meadows nodded regretfully: "It's only a few games away. I haven't seen enough yet."
Snape didn't see enough. This duel competition was much more interesting than the Quidditch World Cup, and there were more people injured.
Karan carefully considered the performance of the players and thought about how to learn those spells.
Several people returned to the tent and took a rest after dinner.
Silent all night.
On the third day, which was also the last day of the competition, the atmosphere in the stadium was extremely enthusiastic, even more exaggerated than the previous two days combined.
After an exciting duel, only the last two contestants were left on the field - Adam from Durmstrang Magic School, and Hela from Africa.
The cheers were overwhelming, and Professor Freevey had to shout with all his strength: "The game begins!"
In unison, everyone fell silent. Karan and others wore binoculars and stared closely at the two players on the field - Adam and Hela. They turned around in unison and walked forward step by step.
"Can Adam really win the championship?"
Snape couldn't help but murmured softly.
"Impossible!" Lily immediately retorted: "The champion must be Hela!"
The two people still insisted on their original choice and fought with each other for a lot of time.
Karan quickly reminded them not to talk.
Finally, in the deathly silence, Hela moved her fingers twice - but her invincible dream messenger failed. Adam successfully turned around and cast his most powerful spell as soon as he took action. , a tiny tornado rose from the ground, and then grew bigger and bigger, like a fierce fire that devoured everything!
But at this moment, Hela also turned around for the first time in the three-day competition. Her fingers seemed to have turned into a magic wand, changing with extremely strange gestures.
And Adam suddenly passed out in the next second. He was also affected by the tornado he cast, spinning around in the sky.
The referee team had already had experience in dealing with this, and two of them immediately flew into the sky on broomsticks and moved Adam down.
"He fell asleep!"
Professor Freevey said in disbelief: "What an incredible magic - Hela wins! She wins the Wizarding Duel Cup!"
The auditorium was silent for a second, and then an overwhelming voice immediately began. Hela greeted everyone in all directions, especially in the direction of the high-rise box for the longest time.
Snape stared at the young woman, with the same disbelief on his face: "Is the Dream Messenger so powerful? Can a wizard be knocked unconscious by just casting a spell?"
"It's hard to say." Meadows murmured doubtfully: "In the past, this kind of magical ability was only used on students who were suitable to enter Wagadu - this is the first time I have seen this magic experiment on wizards. , it’s really incredible.”
Lily's cheering movement paused: "Who do you think is more powerful, Hela or the mysterious man?"
"Of course it's the mysterious man." Karan said without hesitation: "Don't think that the Dark Lord will be helpless in the face of wandless magic. It looks like a large dose of hypnotic at most, or it can be Living Hell Potion, but both of these potions will have no effect in the presence of a closed-minded person."
Karan knew this very well. Not only was the hypnotic drug useless, but even the Imperius Curse couldn't really control him.
Moreover, Occlumency is not that easy to learn. The prerequisite is the help of a Legilimency. Only in this way can it be possible to learn Occlumency.
But no matter what, the champion was finally determined.
During the final awards ceremony, Adam seemed a little depressed, but he was not seriously injured, mainly because the referee responded promptly enough.
Hela finally smiled in front of the camera for the first time, which fascinated many wizards, and even Snape couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Lily looked at Snape with disdain, making him lower his head in shame.
Then Lily looked at Karan strangely, and her eyes became more and more strange. It wasn't until Karan rolled his eyes at her that he turned his head away again.
The game is finally over.
Soon, they were surrounded by a flood of people leaving the stadium and returning to the camp.As they walked back along the passage illuminated by lanterns, a rough singing voice came from the night sky. The surroundings were so noisy that even the thick tent could not block it.
They said hello to Steve's family and Guspard's family respectively, and then got into the tent and refused to come out. Although they did not play in person, the three-day game still made them extremely tired, and they just wanted to fall down and sleep well. Sleep.
Karan magically took out a few earplugs. He saw several people mouthing good night silently, and then fell asleep little by little.
Karan also fell asleep quickly, his breathing gradually calmed down, and his mood gradually calmed down from the initial excitement.
until midnight.
"Get up! Get up!"
Meadows pushed Lily hard for some reason, as well as Snape and Karan who were sleeping in the bedroom outside: "Get up quickly! Something happened!"
"What - what's wrong?" Lily sat up reflexively. She saw that several people were wearing pajamas, and it was dark outside, with the faint light of fire and shouts——
No—where did the fire come from?What about the shouting?
She and Snape stood up quickly, carefully followed Meadows, and quietly looked out of the tent.
A fire dragon was hidden in the night. Only the firelight could make people see the sharp scales on its body. It was flying around the camp, using its fiery breath to fight back against the Aurors who attacked it from time to time.
And just after the three people popped their heads, the fire dragon suddenly flew towards them!
"Run!"
Meadows tightened her grip on the wand that never left her body, and she quickly urged: "You guys run, I'll deal with it - where's Karan?"
Snape suddenly turned his head, and Karan was still lying on the bed, not waking up.
He ran over quickly and simply lifted Karan's body up, but even so, Karan's eyelids did not loosen.
"What's wrong with him?" Lily walked over and asked hurriedly.
"Could he... be dead?"
