Chapter 617: Elena, Dead? (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
"Don't worry, you're not dead yet. ”
In the air next to Hermione, Elena's voice popped up.
"But if you don't stop, it will take a few more hits, and it will probably be faster......"
Immediately after, she appeared next to Hermione.
Elena looked helplessly at the troll that was twitching on the ground, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching, and said leisurely, with a rare hint of melancholy in her tone This is the elite troll that she asked Grindelwald to catch with great difficulty, but she didn't expect that this was the first time she was a level boss, and she was beaten like this by Hermione.
Crouching down, Elena wrinkled her nose and took a closer look at the hapless troll.
Sure that there should be a rescue, she snapped her fingers and summoned the house-elves who were secretly observing her surroundings.
"Send it to Professor Apokalis and see if there's anything else to be saved. If it doesn't work, let the Professor find a way to catch another one and give it to Professor Snape to dispose of, and if I'm not mistaken, there are a few rare potion recipes that use the troll's brain and spine powder. ”
Watching the elf drag the troll's massive body into the room, Elena turned her head to look at Hermione.
Although the girl's face was no longer as pale as before, there was still a lingering panic, and the exhaustion and weakness that followed the hysteria that could be discerned by the naked eye.
"Hermione, your mental quality is really weak, this is not your usual level at all. ”
Elena said calmly, unleashing her magic to heal the blood marks on Hannah's palm that had been cut by wooden thorns.
"Even with the last of these random bombardments, it's less than a third of your strength, and as the one with the most magic and knowledge among the three, I was expecting you to do something smarter......"
At the same time, Elena casually squeezed Hannah's palm hard, causing the little witch to cry out in pain.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts."
Hannah looked at the white-haired dumpling in front of her with tears in her eyes and reminded her in a whisper.
"Elena, you pressed my wound ......"
"Oh, I did it on purpose! Now I know it hurts? Why didn't you expect it to hurt when you blocked the troll's wooden stick just now, and since you had time to rush in front of Hermione, why couldn't you just pull Hermione away like Luna?"
Elena glanced at Hannah, who was still a little unconvinced, and continued angrily.
"What? Don't you think you deserve praise?! You're a witch! Not a troll!"
"But aren't you right next to you, and besides, don't you ...... yourself?"
Hannah Abbot muttered back, glancing at the soft white light in Elena's hand, the meaning was self-evident.
"I—I won't subdue the trolls this way!"
Elena frowned, and reprimanded with a straight face, "You two, one is stupid in place, and the other impulsively goes up to fight the trolls, and even behaves less calmly than Luna, who is not yet eleven years old!"
"Well, that, actually, I just feel like this troll seems to be bluffing......"
Hearing Elena mention herself, Luna Lovegood, who was standing on the side, waved her hand a little embarrassedly.
"I don't know why, I always feel a little unhappy about this troll, as if I had just been beaten by another troll not long ago, and my nose looks bigger than normal, and my clothes are a little tattered......"
"Ahem, okay, Luna, you don't have to say your reason. In short, you behaved better than both of them!"
Elena coughed lightly, quickly interrupting Luna's words.
A troll is a magical creature with partial intelligence.
There are some intelligent trolls who can understand and even speak a few simple human languages, so wizards will occasionally train some of the stronger trolls to act as guards, and the training method is simple, just hit the suit.
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore would not allow an untamed troll to enter the castle.
Not to mention, it would also directly engage in unlimited battles with underage students, in that case, the uncontrollability would be too high, and even with Elena patting her chest assurance, it would be difficult for him to be completely reassured.
It's just that during this period of time, under the training of Elena, Grindelwald, and Lu Wei, this wild monster has almost reached the most basic taming stage, that is, it does not dare to kill humans.
According to Elena's original idea, this wild monster was originally intended to be used by young wizards to train in turn.
Anyway, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, and the magic resistance is not bad, and the stupid ones should be more resistant to beating, who knows...... Elena subconsciously glanced at Hannah, who was still smirking at a giant wooden stick about the same height as her, and sighed tiredly.
Who knew that there would be an iron man who dared to pick up a stick directly to hammer a troll!
And Hermione imitated the "Red Demon Magic" she released at a critical moment, and the effect also exceeded her expectations, and she was directly hit by magic many times.
The most important thing is that because he was suddenly repelled by a spell and was constantly knocked on the head by Hannah with a big stick, this big guy who had to learn to pronounce "surrender" and "you won" did not even have a chance to beg for mercy, so he fainted cleanly, if it weren't for the tough skin and other animals, he might have been killed by now.
"Okay, okay, I'll promise not to do that next time. So, we're ...... this level."
Hannah Abbot smiled, waved her hand disappretently, and looked at the white-haired dumplings in front of her expectantly.
Next time?guaranteed?!
She seems to have acted in all these plots......
"Of course, I passed with a perfect score, and the level guards are about to be killed by you. ”
Elena glanced at Tie Hanhan, who was gradually becoming skinny, and sighed a little tiredly.
As Elena announced that she had successfully cleared the level, the three little witches suddenly burst into vitality and clapped their high-fives excitedly, instantly leaving behind the reprimands and difficulties they had received before, and chattering in celebration and discussion.
"Yay, we're finally ahead of Ron!"
"Punch through the level!"
"There is no information in the next level, so we have to be cautious. ”
......
After a short break, the assessment continued.
Standing in front of the door leading to the next level, Elena is introducing the level.
Since this is the first time that the young wizards have cleared this progress, no one will choose to skip the plot animation and directly open the subsequent levels, whether they can clear the level or not, the information revealed in Elena's words is extremely important.
"Falsehood and truth are often only between people's thoughts, the truth you see is not necessarily the truth, the lies you hear are not necessarily lies, your imagination is also full of flaws, and history repeats itself at this moment......
"In the face of unknown challenges, you can rely on nothing but each other......"
"Don't be nervous, though, there's nothing to be afraid of. This time, you will no longer face the test alone, and I will accompany you to the next level and participate in the subsequent levels as your companion......"
"Come, victory is at hand! Let's go all out and find the mysterious magical being that can make all our wishes appear before our eyes, and always remember that all the creatures that appear in the level are your enemies!"
"Ding! Elena Kaslana, join your team. ”
With a crisp system chime, Elena walked over to Hermione and expertly took the girl's hand.
"Let's go!"
............
Darkness, the darkness that consumes everything.
As the four of them stepped into the room, the whole world seemed to lose its light in an instant, accompanied by a strange dizziness that swirled around the world, and when Hermione and the others gradually adjusted their gaze to their surroundings, they realized that everything around them had become strange.
The door that was supposed to be behind them was gone, replaced by an empty cliff edge.
In the distance, the faint sound of waves could be heard, and Hermione Granger turned her head in shock to find that they had now arrived in an unknown place far from the castle, bare, with no trees, no grass or sand in sight except for the sea below the cliffs, and in front of them was a ruined village that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
"W-Where is this? Is this part of the assessment?"
Hermione looked around in disbelief.
Before they knew it, a thick layer of fog hung around them, and they couldn't see anything except the dark shadow of the abandoned village four or five meters away, and the cold water vapor and the unique smell of the sea told her that it should be some seaside somewhere.
"Draw your wand! Something is wrong! This is not the sixth level!"
Elena shook her head, a look of solemnity that was rare in her face.
Hermione's pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly drew her wand and looked around warily.
"Not part of the level?!So where is this?"
"I don't know this place, but it's not at all like the sixth level I know...... No doubt this isn't inside Hogwarts at all, and I'm guessing we might have triggered some strange magical trap to get somewhere outside of the school. ”
The four little witches huddled together, raising their wands to look at the unfamiliar surroundings, each extremely nervous.
Luna Lovegood frowned and glanced at the cliff behind her several times, she had a very strange feeling, as if there were many people watching them closely, and at the same time, all of this always revealed a bit of absurdity.
"Well, I think ......"
However, before Luna could finish speaking.
"Wait, don't talk yet, someone looks like there's coming up ahead!"
Elena raised her hand to signal Luna to be quiet, took a deep breath, and pointed her wand toward the town ahead.
Caught off guard by such an unfamiliar environment, coupled with Elena's unprecedentedly nervous expression, all the little witches subconsciously held their breath, and they felt that the wand in their palms seemed to be stained with a little sweat.
Silently, the girls squinted nervously, trying to look ahead at the fog.
In the darkness, two figures loomed over the ruined wasteland town, each of height and height, each wearing a hooded cape that covered their faces, and exuded an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.
There was no doubt that the people who came were also wizards, because they saw that the other was also holding a lighted wand in his hand.
With the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, the distance between these strangers and the girls kept shortening.
Hermione's wand was aimed at the dark shadow in front of her, and she turned her head to look at Elena and asked in a whisper.
"Will they be the examiners for this round? What should we do now?"
"It's not an exam! And I had a terrible feeling. ”
Elena shook her head nervously, looked at the dark shadow in front of her as if she were on the verge of a great enemy, and took a deep breath.
"Anyway, I'll go and ask where this is, and you guys should cover me in the back......"
As she spoke, Elena let go of Hermione's hand and walked slowly towards the three figures in front of her.
As if noticing the movement, the two figures stopped in unison, standing on the edge of a half-cut stone wall, looking at the short figure walking towards them, as if they were whispering something.
The three of Hermione held their breath as Elena's voice trembled slightly.
"Hello, we are students from Hogwarts, may I ask ...... here"
Then, without warning, a voice suddenly cut through the silence, with a touch of cruelty and coldness that Hermione had never heard before, like a scythe from an ice cave, ringing coldly in everyone's ears.
"Avada suo!"
A dazzling green light pierced everyone's eyelids, as if something unseen was flying through the air, and Hermione and the three heard something fall heavily in front of them. The girls slowly opened their stinging eyes in fear.
Elena lay on the ground on all fours, and she died.
For a never-ending second, Hermione, Luna, and Hannah stared blankly at Elena's face, looking at the girl's expressionless blue eyes, like the windows of an abandoned house, her mouth half-open, looking particularly surprised.
At this moment, the fog that shrouded the surroundings seemed to lift a little.
In the sky, a huge green skull floated silently, and a large python emerged from the skull's mouth like a tongue, and unsettling green stars flashed in the green mist.
Luna and Hannah's faces instantly turned pale, and their expressions were extremely frightened.
The Dark Mark is the terrifying symbol that Voldemort and the Death Eaters release every time they kill someone.
Before the two of them could come to their senses, the two mysterious men in black not far away had already crossed Elena's corpse, raised their wands and walked towards them unhurriedly, as if they were teasing like cats and mice.
As the distance got closer, the face of the tall, lanky man who had killed Elena appeared in front of the three little witches.
The mysterious man's face was paler than a skeleton, his two large eyes were red, his nose was as flat as a snake's nose, his nostrils were two slits, he had no hair or eyebrows, and he looked like a cold mask.
Next to the mysterious wizard was a short wizard with unluster, sparse hair and dirty skin, no better than a troll, a pointed nose and watery mung bean eyes with a bit of rat features.
From the moment they saw the little witch, the breathing of the three little witches couldn't help but be several times faster at the same time.
Peter Pettigrew, the vicious and dangerous Death Eater, has reappeared!
Before the three of them could figure out why he was here, the terrible Death Eater had already turned around and whispered in a very humble voice to the tall and thin wizard beside him.
"Master, your body is still very weak, but it is only three students who have not yet graduated, so I will deal with it!"
Lord, master?!, is this man ......
Without continuing the conversation, Peter Pettigrew had turned around again, slowly raising his wand towards the three little witches who were about to retreat to the edge of the cliff, and a very cruel and cruel smile appeared on their faces.
"Don't worry, little darlings, you will soon be slain by the great Dark Lord and his most loyal Death Eaters in this secluded no-man, just like your classmates. Of course, you can also choose to get down on your knees and beg for mercy...... In this way, your death will bring us more pleasure......"
"Ai, Elena......"
Hermione stared blankly at the lifeless hull not far away, muttered a word, and looked up at the ugly and hideous Death Eater in front of her, her brown eyes swelling with infinite anger and a terrible growl.
The girl jerked up her wand and aimed it straight ahead, feeling all her strength poured into it.
"Bastard! I'm fighting you guys!Explosion!"
“RUA!RUA!RUAAAAAA......”
The moment Hermione raised her wand, a figure like a wounded beast leaped out of her frenzy and pounced viciously on the two evil wizards in front of her, who were raising their wands and preparing to cast a curse.
Even if the other party is the most terrifying Death Eater of all time, and perhaps even the most murderous Dark Lord......
Behind them, Luna Lovegood, who was about to cast the spell, suddenly stopped, her expression became a little strange, and she raised her eyebrows curiously, and poked lightly at the empty air around her......
Really......
Binary rewind architecture magic!
"Ai!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Luna Lovegood's eyes, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to alert the two companions in front of her.
At this moment, Luna felt as if her upper and lower lips were glued together in an instant, and she couldn't make any sound, and the wand she was holding in her hand was also quietly snatched down with a strange force, and there was a whisper like a mosquito at the girl's earlobe.
"Shhh ”
