One, three, five, stiff smile
Karkaroff took a bunch of precautions, not only did he not have a trace of embarrassment on his face, but his face was still serious, as if he was being chased by a dozen Aurors- No way, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Dumbledore's name is not bragging, it is the name of Grindelwald who went to Germany alone back then, even if the other party has more than ninety percent probability of being a fake, but in case of the worst probability, Karkaroff is not willing to leave everyone with the name that Durmstrang's headmaster can't even pass a trick under the headmaster of Hogwarts.
However, even so, none of the students present underestimated this warrior who dared to challenge Dumbledore for this reason - that was Dumbledore, isn't it normal to prepare for all the protection before starting with the First White Wizard? Even the students in Germany never expected their headmaster to be able to beat Dumbledore - it was not a simple eruption, but a small cosmic explosion and a melin possession to have some possibilities.
So Allen wanted to roll his eyes at the gang of pits below than his teammates at the moment - Karkaroff, who was originally an elite Death Eater, had quite a considerable combat power, and later mastered the entire Durmstrang collection, and his strength was definitely not at the level of an ordinary dragon set, and now he was defending with all his might under the natural gaze of this group of people, and he simply didn't give Allen a chance...
You know, although Allen's comprehensive strength is high, but as far as traditional magic is concerned, the mastery is actually quite limited, and at the moment, it is necessary to pretend that Dumbledore does not use inheritance magic indiscriminately, and he has to punch Kalov, a shameless turtle, which is not ordinarily difficult...
Well-to be precise, it's not just Karkaroff who is in a dilemma at the moment, Allen is also quite entangled in how to clean up Karkaroff's sudden trouble without a trace.
Alan returned the salute while trying to think of a coping strategy - there is no doubt that since Karkaroff said that he would defend with all his might, then he must have to attack on Allen's side, and he can't go against the spirit of the duel or something to sneak attack...
It hurts a little, Alan thought bitterly, and said in a gentle voice that didn't reveal his inner complaint: "Be careful, Igor." ”
A wave of water erupted out of thin air from Alan's wand, then turned into smoke in mid-air, locking directly at Karkaroff - Alan remembered that Dumbledore had used this form of magic, and directly imitated it with the ability to control water, although no matter the spell, the principle of power or anything was far behind, but it was definitely possible to fool the past.
This is kind of time-delaying magic - Alan didn't expect Karkaroff to be trapped by this kind of magic from the time he used it, but the trick used to try it is understandable to block it.
Sure enough, just as the mist enveloped Karkaroff, a blue flame erupted from his wand, directly burning away a large part of the mist, making the feeling of locking people up all at once.
"Is this a temptation or the true strength of the other party?" Karkarov's face was a little solemn - the magic that blocked his movement just now seemed to be easy to break free, but only Karkaroff himself knew how much magic power was spent in the middle, and if he was a wizard whose strength was weaker by one or two points, there was almost no possibility of escaping from it, that is to say, if he didn't get the exclusive library of the headmaster of his school, according to his original strength, he would almost be beaten down in a face.
"Damn—is it Albus's miscalculation, or is it a wizard of similar strength to me?" Karkaroff said to Alan with a smile on his face, thinking as he thought, "Albus, it's great magic, but I'm fine now, and the fight hasn't stopped." ”
A lot of defensive magic Karkaroff hasn't been used yet, although the previous magic can cleverly avoid defensive magic, but only that kind of power is far from enough to threaten him, and then Karkaroff decided to protect himself with all his strength, leaving no room for tricks - of course, if the other party's strength is not good, he doesn't mind insisting on sticking to his reputation or something.
It's a pity that when Karkaroff, who had this idea, stared at Allen's eyes, he was suddenly stunned, and his originally calm thoughts were suddenly disrupted, and some of the thoughts that were suppressed on weekdays suddenly surfaced.
"Across the street is Albus, nothing. ”
"But it's not Albus that you're afraid of, it's the master you're afraid of!"
"That's right, master - you betrayed the whole family in exchange for your freedom, and if he returns, you are destined to be the first to die!"
"What if he comes back? You know, over the years, even though the mainstream media has been denying it, your intelligence has shown him up once or twice. ”
"He's staring at me, the first person he killed when he came back was definitely a traitor, what's the use of the headmaster? Not to mention the headmaster, even the Ministry of Magic pushed down, how could that master be worse than Grindelwald?"
"Going to die, going to die, run, run!!"
In the midst of a series of distractions, the noisy exchange of students around him had already turned into the frantic shouts of the Death Eaters in Karkaroff's ears: "Kill him, kill him, kill this traitor!"
In a trance, Dumbledore's beard and hair in front of him fell off almost instantly, the eyes under the glasses that seemed to have seen through everything suddenly turned bright red like blood, his facial features were distorted, and his expression was cruel but smiling, which was the face that made him sweat when he woke up from nightmares countless times.
Karkaroff felt that his hands were no longer his own, and his steps were suddenly stiff, his fingers trembled slightly, and the top of his knees almost lost all his strength at once, as if the next moment the wind would blow him down.
As his knees and arms lost their strength, Karkarov fell forward, almost on his knees - "Smack!"
There was a crisp sound, and Karkaroff felt that his hands and feet had grown back on top of his body, and his knees, which were about to bend down, had the strength to continue to support his body, but he could still clearly feel that his entire body was already soaked in sweat.
And what had fallen to the ground with a snap was the wand he couldn't hold because his hands were shaking—he had already lost.
At this moment, Dumbledore's face was extremely kind, and even a little concerned: "Igor, are you okay? I just used a newly researched attack spell, but I didn't expect this spell to be more powerful than I could control, and it even got out of control." ”
"I think you need a hot drink and some sweets right now, and it would be better if there was chocolate, I underestimated the spell too much. "Dumbledore's expression was not adulterated at all, and his expression was full of remorse, as if he was still uneasy at the moment that he had used a spell whose power had not been tested at all.
With almost no delay, Karkaroff was admitted to the school hospital - there was no way, the new spell had undergone an uncontrollable change, and it was necessary to seek a doctor who was more specialized in healing.
Leaving behind a group of squeaky students, the principals walked straight to the hospital and left the students behind them to discuss the duel that had just begun—there was no doubt that although there were two spells, none of them was not discussable.
——
In the Hogwarts school hospital, Alan asked him again and again with a bit of concern and went back to deal with things under the persuasion of the other headmasters, leaving the three headmasters over there lying in the hospital.
"We've all been deceived—" Karkaroff's face turned unusually white, obviously not recovering from the harsh blow from Alan earlier, "It was indeed Dumbledore just now, there was no problem, but I'm sure he definitely knew what was going on on our side, and decided to take this opportunity to deter the restless guys in Britain!"
"What are you kidding!" Madame Maxim's face suddenly turned bad—she was more greedy and cheap, and Karkaroff's two completely different arguments before and after obviously could not convince her.
"That's right," Karkarov's eyes were firm: "The problem is not on this side, but on our side!"
He said almost word for word: "It's Grindelwald! It's definitely Grindelwald!"
"What are you kidding, isn't he still locked up?" Principal Jock asked in a tone of almost shock, after all, the news was terrifying.
"If it weren't for Dumbledore, it would have been Grindelwald - I can't think of anyone else who deserves a bunch of escaped Death Eaters to go to Germany, and I can't imagine anyone who could easily deal with so many Death Eaters. ”
"But didn't you say that in your information? that's similar to the magic Dumbledore used!"
"I know you don't believe it, because we all know what Grindelwald did back then—and to be honest, we haven't escaped some of the rules he left behind, and the study of the dark arts is still pervasive in our teaching. But I can tell you clearly that in the top secret information, Dumbledore and Grindelwald had a long magical exchange after graduating with a bunch of medals and honors, which made the two of them quite similar in their spellcasting methods. ”
This is not good news - although few wizards know about the top secret just said, but no matter which headmaster knows that Grindelwald almost killed half a life of the entire wizarding community in the United States by himself, and after that, he reorganized the wizarding world in Germany very quickly, and if Dumbledore hadn't stopped it, it would be difficult to say what would be going on now.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure, but I must admit that there are too many contradictions in Germany right now - I'm leaving with a bunch of elites here, and if the Death Eaters take this opportunity,1 they have a good chance of getting Grindelwald out. ”
There was silence for a while—the Brazilian side was fine, and the threat to the other two magic schools was almost imminent.
"Go find Dumbledore. In the end, it was Jock who upset the peace, and this is the only way left.
——
In Dumbledore's office, Alan was eating snacks while flipping through a book, and Harry was curious to look at it, not thinking of himself as an outsider at all - no way, Dumbledore's good things are really a little more, not to mention that Harry is still not seen in the world, even if a profiteer from Diagon Alley comes, he has to open his mouth for more than ten seconds before he can speak normally.
However, just as the two of them were salting the fish, there was a sudden shaking in the office.
Then, Alan and a bunch of portraits witnessed Dumbledore's return, and Harry, who was staring, noticed the incident after being stunned.
"Good evening, Headmaster, why did you come back early?" Alan closed the book without embarrassment, and then put it in his pocket under Dumbledore's gaze and the horrified eyes of a pile of portraits - after so many years of work, Alan would never be shy to pick up the interest in front of the original owner.
But Dumbledore's side didn't mean to stop it.
"There's a big problem, why haven't you opened the letter I sent?"
"Letter?" Alan froze—then saw a new thick one in Dumbledore's letterbox.
He did see it, but he was done at the time, and he thought it was a new confidential document from Dumbledore's side or something—it was agreed to take the book in front of the headmaster, and Alan didn't have the habit of opening it privately.
Looking at Allen's eyes, Dumbledore's expression froze suddenly: "It's okay, it's okay - then you can modify it out, and I'll deal with Karkaroff's temptation." ”
"Temptation?" Harry caught without waiting for Alan to speak, "Dumbledore, Eren has almost dealt with Karkaroff's challenge, and we won!"
Probably thinking that this was a bit impactful enough, Harry quickly added, a look of pride on his face, "Win, we put him in the hospital, and Eren used two spells!"
Alan looked at Dumbledore's face with a hint of stiffness clearly, and the other person was suddenly a little embarrassed - at that time, he thought that Karkaroff's weakness should be after Voldemort, so he didn't hesitate to call it out, and he didn't release the water first to save some face or anything, and it was a bit too much to put it in the campus exchange...
There was no way, he was so eager to win at the time, who would have thought that Karkaroff's fear was so deep that he would be put down at once...
Alan wanted to laugh, but Harry came again: "By the way, there is also the director of the Auror Office, who is also a duel, and if he loses, he uses a trick!!"
