Chapter 116: Trial

Everyone was shocked by Ning An's bold idea, but it seemed that it was okay to think about it carefully.

They weren't trying to attack a school, and there were many explanations for "grabbing" the next school, even if any of them became the headmaster of a magic school.

"Which school are you targeting?"

Sitting on the chair, the whole person blocked the chair tightly, making people wonder if it would crush the fragile chair and collapse Fabian? Ludwig asked, speaking in a gruff voice that made one believe he was a giant more than a wizard because of his size.

Ning An opened his mouth and said a name, which made the others whisper, and the patriarchs of several families exchanged opinions in twos and threes, and after some discussion, everyone fell silent.

Ning An was not in a hurry, picked up the black tea that was still hot on the table, handed it to his mouth and took a sip slowly, the light and sweet aroma was thick on the tip of his tongue, making Ning An reluctant to swallow it.

But soon he had to put down the teaglass, because the witch Barbara next to him asked the question again, and she asked Ning An in a shrieked voice as if she was pinching her throat:

"How can we trust you to do this?"

The rest is Fabian, or Leohard, or even Jung? Hohenzollern looked at Ning An seriously, and it seemed that Barbara had asked a question of their common concern, and in the final analysis, she was still not sure of Ning An's ability.

Ning An also understood their mentality very well, and he didn't feel credible when he looked at a wizard who was so much younger than himself, and he said big things here.

"How do you want me to prove it?"

Ning An didn't rush to answer, but asked rhetorically, he had to figure out what these people wanted him to do, if he didn't figure out this boundary, it would be difficult to show his strength, because it was not easy to grasp the degree.

Four wizards, you look at me, I look at you, and for a moment there was no speech, but this time it was Fabian, who had always been taciturn, who spoke first, and as soon as he spoke, he spoke amazingly.

He lowered his voice, and his deep voice exploded in everyone's ears like a muffled thunder in the sky

"Do you dare to carry out the trial of the sea god?"

"Ludwig?"

Jung screamed, his hand slipping from the table in an instant, he almost didn't get up, and when he shook his body and realized that he was a little too excited, he lowered his voice again, and said to Fabian, who was sitting next to him:

"Either way, it's too much."

Jung frowned, no matter whether Ning An's strength could be recognized by everyone in the end, in Jung's opinion, at least this was a powerful wizard who could be used as foreign aid, so why let him lose his life in this kind of trial? There were fewer wizards who were willing to come to Germany, and it was even more difficult to get to know powerful and talented wizards.

Barbara's throat seemed to be choked by something, and the witch who liked to scream lost her voice, and her hands seemed to be fixed on the table, and the little frog that let the teacup change slip away from her fingertips and jumped to Ning An's teacup, startling him.

The only one who was calm was Leohhard, the patriarch of the Althouse family glanced at Ning An, and from his confused eyes, it was immediately clear that this boy did not understand what the Seagod Trial was.

"Ahemβ€”"

He coughed lightly, attracting attention, and met Ning An's eyes, who were sitting directly opposite the round table, and said slowly:

"You don't know what the Poseidon Trial is yet - anyway, let me explain, you can decide, of course it doesn't hurt to refuse, I also think Fabian's request is a bit rude."

The huge wizard who was pressed against the chair "snorted" to express his attitude, and then continued to pant heavily, saying no more.

Ning An put on a posture that he was willing to hear about it, moved his fingers a few times to drive away the frogs that came over, and then propped his hands on the table, holding his chin, and listening seriously.

"The Poseidon's Trial is one of the few magical inheritances we have left to be proud of."

Leohard's opening tone was extremely heavy, and Ning An thought to himself, this guy is the minister of the German Ministry of Magic, does he usually need such a demeanor to speak in the Ministry of Magic to resonate with other wizards?

Ning An muttered in his heart that Leohard must not be able to know, not to mention other aspects, he must not be able to compare to Snape in the achievement of the Dementor Technique, Snape can't penetrate Ning An's heart, and Leohhard naturally can't do it, he just continues

"Actually, it's easy to say, the whole trial is to defeat the Seagod Kraken."

Leohard paused, as if observing the expression on Ning An's face, and after seeing that Ning An was still expressionless, he slowly spit out a sentence

"It's just that from the invention of the trial to the present, only three people have passed, and the most recent one ...... nearly a thousand years ago."

Ning An's face finally changed, his two slender eyebrows furrowed towards the center, his expression became solemn, and he looked at Leohard's face and asked him

"What about Grindelwald? Didn't he pass this trial either? ”

When Leohard heard this name, his body trembled, Ning An could feel the witch Barbara next to him "hiss" and took a breath, Jung smiled bitterly on the side and crooked his mouth, it was not easy to say anything, Ning An was still too young to understand the shadow that Grindelwald left on this continent.

"I didn't ...... No, he did not take part in this trial - his strength no longer needed to be proven, and at that time the whole of Europe was subservient to him, who would ask him to prove himself with this trial. ”

Leohard took a deep breath, and calmly answered Ning An's question, and Ning An immediately patted his head, he had forgotten Grindelwald's status back then, and he really didn't need to prove anything to others through trials.

"I accept."

To everyone's surprise, even if he heard that there were only three people in history, and the most recent one was a thousand years ago, Ning An still nodded his head without hesitation, and several people almost thought that they had heard it wrong, but judging from the incredulous looks on the faces of others, it was impossible for four people to hear it wrong at the same time.

Ning An really didn't have to think about it, but he should be grateful to this Fabian? Ludwig, it's much better for them to give themselves questions than to guess them themselves, and this is the best way to convince others.

Besides, Ning An couldn't disagree, he needed the strength of these people, he needed this group of Germans, so he had to pass this trial anyway, and Ning An who studied in Hades Castle for a year was no longer what it used to be, and the knowledge he learned in that year was almost more than six years in Hogwarts.

And recently, Ning An felt that his mana had increased too much, and it was almost growing day and night like a rushing river.

He vaguely guessed that this might have something to do with the fact that he had consumed ten years of lifespan when he passed through the other side of the veil, and the actual age of his current body should be twenty-three years old, and he already had the mana level of an adult, plus his original talent, compared to many extremely powerful wizards, I am afraid it is not far behind.

"Hmm...... Okay, so – do you want to do anything before that? ”

Leohard didn't want Ning An to have an accident, this wizard who seemed to have an unlimited future might really be able to provide a lot of help to himself and his family if he could really achieve something in the future, even if he couldn't pass the trial, it was always good to make more preparations to save his life.

Ning An held his chin and thought for a while, all of them were experienced wizards, their attitude towards the 'Seagod Trial' would inevitably attract Ning An's attention, seeing that several people had almost acquiesced that they could not pass the test, you can imagine the difficulty, Ning An would not be careless.

He held out a finger and said to a few people, "I need a week to prepare, and maybe some potion materials, I wonder if you can provide them?" ”

These words made several people's faces darken at the same time, Ning An couldn't imagine that such a trivial matter would actually make them embarrassed? No wonder Germany couldn't afford to open a magic school, he wondered if it was in such an embarrassing situation due to the embargo on magic trade from other countries?

"As long as it's not too rare material...... I think it should be fine, but ......"

Jung replied to Ning An with a wry smile, and it could be seen that he was also a little embarrassed, the wizarding family that had been inherited for thousands of years had fallen into this, and it was no longer clear whether it was sadness or shame.

"Not precious, not precious, I just want some spider pancreas, human brains, and giant lymphβ€”"

Jung breathed a sigh of relief, his face a little less bitter, and he really smiled

"That's no problem, except for the giant lymph that has some trouble, the rest is easy to say."

Ning An also let out a long sigh, he thought that since he had enough time and resources, he might as well make more magic storage potions here, this kind of disposable magic potion can be used as a one-time magic spell, and he doesn't possess his excess mana, he simply makes dozens of bottles at a time, and is prepared.

Of course, although the magic of this kind of magic storage potion is much weaker than that of magic props, there is also a limit, Ning An thinks that about thirty bottles of almost every magic storage potion should be the limit, and any more will cause magic disorders, and the bottle will explode on the body.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the days that followed, he stayed in Jung? Since the capture of Grindelwald, the German wizarding community has suffered an unprecedented purge, its political system has been destroyed, the original Magic Cabinet has been dissolved, and a new Ministry of Magic has been established for Germany according to the structure of the British Ministry of Magic.

It's just that this system has become a deformity, and now the German Ministry of Magic has become a deformity, because there are fewer and fewer wizarding families, and fewer and fewer half-blood wizards are discovered, the Ministry of Magic is short of manpower, and finally many departments have to be merged.

In the end, all that remained was the Department of Magical Law, the Minister's Office, and the Joint Senate.

The patriarchs of the four major families are all representatives of the Joint Senate, and the final decisions on most matters depend on the Joint Senate to make final decisions.

Jung is also not idle, he still has to go to work at the Ministry of Magic, and the only people left in the family are Ning'an, Madame Margarita and the house-elf Uzi.

Ning An stayed in his room refining potions, Uzi would send materials from time to time, and Lady Margarita rarely appeared, Ning An thought that he probably guessed correctly, this noble lady was a little afraid of herself.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to puzzle about these little things, the brewing of potions was very exhausting, for a whole week, Ning An was almost boiling day and night, he specially borrowed two crucibles from Jung, and during the day, he always cooked potions at the same time with three crucibles, and he asked himself that even Snape might not be able to withstand such a high-intensity work.

However, the hard work still paid off, and in a week, Ning An made thirty storage potions for storing the Stun Spell, thirty storage potions for the Petrification Charm, and thirty storage potions for the Iron Armor Charm.

The only trouble now is that so many bottles and cans are too difficult to carry, even if each glass bottle is only the size of a thumb, adding up to nearly a hundred is very troublesome.

Ning An had no choice but to use a spell to make a thin rope, string the same type of magic storage potion together, and tie it around his waist, a total of three layers, so that he could use it at any time, but it made him look bloated.

He woke up the sleeping pit viper Sephant in his box and fed it some elixir before putting it back to sleep.

At this point, Ning An was considered to have made preparations, and after informing Jung, the other party said that he would soon gather people from several other families, and they would arrive soon.

Ning An sat on the sofa, watching the green flame light up in the fireplace, Jung put his head in and shouted inside for a while, he kept sprinkling Floo powder, so that the fireplace was converted to someone else's house, as if he was dialing with a phone, and soon with the flames rising, Fabian? Ludwig's tall frame struggled to emerge from the fireplace.

This made him so embarrassed that Jung's fireplace was about to burst, and the witch Barbara, who came behind him, was much more lucky, and she strode cautiously out of the fireplace with a black handkerchief over her nose, as if she feared choking on the smoke.

"Leohhard is still busy, and will be here in a whileβ€”" The witch still screamed, "The evil elves of the Black Forest seem to be eating people again, and he has a headache about who to send." ”

Evil elves are a specialty of the Black Forest in Germany, larger than goblins, with long pointed faces, and like the taste of children, they will lure them into the forest and then eat them, which is a special product of Germany.

Ning An was feeling unfortunate for the person who had been eaten by this evil elf, and a green fire lit up in the fireplace, and a figure stumbled out of the fireplace with the sparks bursting out.

"Ahem - sorry guys, I'm late, damn goblins, every year, these guys deserve to be locked up in the Black Forest forever."

He complained as he put a glass cover on the coffee table, and inside was a white statue, Ning An couldn't see what it was, only that it looked like some kind of octopus.

"We're ready to go, it's the key to the small island near Kraken that can be summoned."
