"It's true that I created that secret room, but so many years have passed in the castle, and the structure and facilities inside should have been renovated and improved countless times."
In Dumbledore's principal's office, on the wall covered with portraits of previous principals, Slytherin, who looked as old as a monkey, whispered.
"But what I am sure of is that the location I gave the little girl at the beginning was not wrong. The entrance to the secret room I designed at the beginning was a circular trap door. Just speak in snake language to open it.
We can get in successfully."
Facing Slytherin, Dumbledore just waved his hand.
"I have never doubted that there was something wrong with the information you provided. There are many possibilities for Salazar and Hermione not to find the entrance. Moreover, he already knew that you had joined us, so he would naturally guess that you could provide us with information.
The exact method and location of entering the secret room, and based on the vigilance he has shown over the years, if that secret room really entrusts him with something, then he will definitely make some changes."
Hermione looked at Dumbledore firmly.
"So, should we continue to search? Professor."
In response, Dumbledore nodded and said.
"Of course, the more hidden he is, the more valuable the place we are looking for is, but it also means that the risks you personally face will be much higher. Since he can change the location of the entrance to the secret room, it will also
Make some different preparations in the secret room."
"I'll be very careful," Hermione said softly.
Dumbledore looked at it and smiled slightly.
"Of course I have never doubted your ability, Hermione, but I think another piece of information you got last night may be worth spending more time discussing. You said you saw a boy on the map, and he
Left the castle privately through a secret passage?"
Hermione didn't hesitate, she nodded.
...
"All petrified!"
The red beam of light streaked across the surrounding ignited woods and grass, leaving a trail of magic in the air!
Jon suddenly turned his upper body again to avoid Emil's curse. At the same time, he stepped forward and cast a spell to counterattack.
"Expelliarmus!"
Emil was also hiding, but his way of avoiding attacks was far less relaxed than Jon's.
After the iron armor spell that had been maintained on his body was broken, he immediately added a layer of protection, but even so, he did not dare to take another spell from Jon easily.
The power of Jon's spell was astonishing. Even if his armor spell was shattered, he had no intention of stopping. The residual power of the spell almost knocked him to the ground.
An ugly donkey rolled on the ground covered with ash. Although the process was very embarrassing, it allowed Emil to avoid Jon's spell and at the same time widened the distance between him and him.
But Jon had no intention of letting him go. He stepped forward again and cast spells at the same time, never stopping to put pressure on him.
"I have fought against many Death Eaters, including your uncle and aunt who look down on you, but to be honest, compared to them, your method of casting spells is too crude, and you did not find the right time to use the spell.
The speed is not fast enough, and even the technique of swinging the staff is not decisive. So there is not even a single spell of yours that makes me feel the pressure to defend. Is this what you have learned magic for three years more than me?
?”
"Collapse!"
Emil gritted his teeth and turned red, obviously reorganizing his counterattack against Jon under great humiliation.
However, his counterattack still failed to achieve any effect. Not only was there a huge gap in spells and magic power between the two, but there was also a huge gap in combat experience between wizards.
Jon's current ability to cast spells without using a ring is completely comparable to that of a professionally trained elite Auror. The gap between Emil and him cannot be made up by enthusiasm or anger. Jon has been steadily treating him.
Suppression was formed. If Emil didn't find a way to escape, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated.
Finally, Emil couldn't stand it anymore, and under another disarming spell from Jon, he finally hid in an unavoidable place.
He was clinging to a large tree, surrounded by bushes lit by dragon's breath. The orange-red firelight reflected on his face, making his face look so pale.
But the more this time came, the more Jon became more vigilant.
If he kicks Emil out of this competition event at this time, it will be equivalent to the two participating warriors under Voldemort being wiped out, and no one will complete the first competition event and obtain results.
Maybe this does not represent the final result of the game, and they might have arranged other possibilities for a comeback later, but did Voldemort really not expect that Jon would kill everyone in the Forbidden Forest?
Jon was very doubtful about this, but his doubts did not make him hold back. He waved the wand as always. This time in order to speed up the process of casting the spell, he even omitted the step of reciting the spell, although it was reduced.
The intensity of the spell, but Emil now has no chance to resist.
However, before the tip of his wand lit up with the red light of the spell, a huge figure suddenly rushed out from a hidden corner and rushed towards Jon!
Its speed was extremely fast, and its agility was such that even if Jon reacted, there would be no room for him to dodge. Two sharp claws and a barbed tail activated the Iron Armor Curse in front of Jon!
The light blue light suddenly lit up, and then shattered. Such interference directly interrupted Jon's original spellcasting. At the same time, the ferocious and huge creature did not stop for a moment after shattering the iron armor curse with one pounce.
Meaning, he continued to press down, and closed his two claws on Jon's head, as if he wanted to scratch his head to pieces!
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jon was certainly prepared for such an unexpected situation. He aimed at the creature's empty abdomen and stretched out his wand when he was not holding it.
There is no incantation, the magic on the ring is activated directly!
The next moment, he flew directly into the air, and the tiger-leopard-sized creature just jumped into the air again with one claw and landed on the ground.
But with this effort, Emil seized the time. Taking advantage of Jon's empty space, he turned around and walked through the surrounding sea of fire.
Jon saw Emil's running back, but he did not chase after him immediately. Instead, he focused on the animal that suddenly rushed out to disrupt the situation.
This is a monster with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and a scorpion tail.
Its name is as straightforward as its appearance - a manticore, a xxxxx-level dark magic creature, with a reputation that is more dangerous and infamous than the Voldemort Bat, and at the same time more embarrassing than the Fire Dragon.
Danger that people fear.
The monster stared at Jon flying in the air with a pair of blue-grey eyes. According to legend, the scorpion tail, which would kill him instantly if touched lightly, slowly swayed from side to side.
The hideous and terrifying woman's face opened her mouth to Jon, revealing three rows of sharp teeth at the top and bottom.
"Is your mission to protect him, or to kill me?"
Jon was not frightened by its terrifying appearance, but looked at the monster and said indifferently.
The mouth on that human face was moving, but no words came out. Instead, a sound that sounded like a mix of flute and trumpet sounded.
Seeing that his question did not receive a response, Jon narrowed his eyes and did not ask. Instead, he clenched the wand with both hands and used a strange way of waving the wand.
Raised high above the head.
"The rules say that you can't kill the contestants, but you don't fall into this category, right?"
The manticore seemed to have sensed a danger coming. The hair on its body, which was redder than that of a lion, was taut, and the scorpion tail that was constantly swaying behind it suddenly swung!
In an instant, countless poisonous stings pierced the air and shot towards Jon, who was floating in the air with his wand held high!
The weird waving movement of Jon's hand did not stop there, but his body had already followed the floating spell and immediately rose a certain distance when the poisonous stings were shot out. While avoiding the monster's attack,
, he also waved the wand downwards, holding the wand with both hands at an angle, and then raised it horizontally!
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"
"Buzz!"
The next second Jon chanted the spell, there was a buzz in the surrounding air that sounded like steel trembling!
A gust of wind blew through the flames and lifted the hem of Jon's robe. Following the wind, countless invisible things in the air swept past in an instant!
While Jon was chanting the curse, the Manticore felt extremely uneasy. It roared, leaped up from the ground, and at the same time swung its body sideways, trying to swing its tail.
This allows the poisonous needle on it to sting Jon's calf.
However, the next moment the wind blew, it burst into a painful roar!
The ground, trees, blades of grass, stones, and even the burning dragon flames were all split in half by an invisible sharp blade at this moment!
The manticore's thick fur, which is even comparable to dragon skin in terms of magic resistance, also has countless bloodstains. The face of the hideous and terrifying woman has also been scratched.
Dozens of wounds, scarlet blood instantly stained its body, and the remaining magic in those wounds continued to deepen and corrode. Almost every second, the wounds on this monster became worse.
, the blood flowing out will also be a little more!
Such a huge injury made it look at Jon resentfully, then decisively turned back and got into the bushes nearby.
Jon looked at the way it wanted to run away and had no intention of chasing it. This manticore was definitely not going to survive unless it could find someone who could help it lift the shadowless spell of Shenfeng.
wizard.
If that were the case, then things would become more straightforward.
This enhanced version of the Shen Feng Wu Ying Hou also consumed Jon's own physical strength greatly.
This is a spellcasting method he learned from a forbidden book in the ring during the summer vacation. He holds the wand with both hands to increase the flux of magic power to the spell, so that the spell itself can receive extremely powerful blessings.
It is very effective against area-damage magic such as Explosive Curse and Shadowless Blade, but because it consumes a lot of money and the casting time is too long, it is not too much in a real one-on-one combat.
practical.
But it is much easier to deal with magical animals with extremely high defense like this, especially when Jon has the air superiority.
That is to say, the contestants cannot kill each other, otherwise Jon would not have to play this kid's house game with Emil, and just use the killing curse to force out the manticore.
The appearance of such a dark magic creature confirmed Jon's suspicion. In the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort's own territory, he would definitely not be unprepared. Even Jon himself could use Hagrid's previous
Friends who stayed here received help, and it was not surprising that other animals in the Forbidden Forest served Voldemort.
At least the current situation lets Jon know that Voldemort still pays attention to the outcome of this game. Otherwise, how could he care about the life and death of Emil and Draco with his character?
While thinking about it, Jon picked up a golden snitch from the ground that had been destroyed by the dragon's breath and had trembling metal wings but could no longer fly. This was something left by Emil.
Putting it in his pocket, Jon was ready to start dealing with the business of the competition. Anyway, there were only so many fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest. As long as Emil wanted to continue to improve his performance, sooner or later they would do it again.
Encountered.
Jon whistled, and soon Hoss appeared next to him with a silly look on his face.
"Let's go, starting from the first Norwegian Ridgeback we marked this morning, and come one by one."
The rules of this competition to seize the golden snitch from the fire dragon may require a lot of effort and thinking for other participating warriors who do not have the ability to fly, but for Jon there is no big risk at all.
After all, he can fly himself, and he can also capture the magic power from alchemy items through the ring.
As long as he flies up, gets close to those golden snitches, and then uses the second gem in the ring to absorb the magic power of those golden snitches, he can catch these things very easily.
And the impact those fire dragons had on Jon couldn't pose much of a threat to him.
So from the beginning, after understanding the competition rules of the first event, Jon didn't have much to worry about. As long as there was a normal competition, it would be easy to get high scores in this event. The only thing that needed to be taken into consideration was Voldemort.
Will he make any arrangements against him in the Forbidden Forest?
Because of this, Jon planned to find Emil first. If there was really an arrangement, it would most likely be with him.
Now that it has been confirmed that this arrangement is only about magical animals, Jon can let go.
