Chapter 0963: The ♨ First Dead of ♨ the Triwizard Tournament

‘?? ’

'Hi~! ’

'What's the matter, dear Ron, sitting here alone in a daze?' ’

'Oh! My dear brother, don't you tell us that because your two friends, Harry and Hermione, are playing in Hogwarts instead of us, you're missing the object of your plagiarism? ’

George and Fred were just about to walk together in the Gryffindor common room, where there were fewer and fewer people, when suddenly they saw their brother Ron in the corner, and found that the other party was sitting there alone, with a fourth-grade Potions textbook open next to him, and then staring at a thick pile of parchment?

So, after glancing at each other, the two twins looked at each other and smiled, dispelling the idea of going out for a stroll, and instead grinning, they walked over together, and one of them put his arm on one of his brother's shoulders, and came to each other's sides and began to tease.

Because they know that in normal times, Ron, Harry, and Hermione were the famous Gryffindor 'gang of three' at Hogwarts! But now the situation is different, because Harry and Hermione, the top students, have become Hogwarts warriors, and have been taken by their Professor Anne to the super fun 'Lordaeron Kingdom' to adventure, and it is still unknown how many days they will go, and it is completely unknown when they will return...... So, naturally, now their younger brother Ron is directly left alone, looking lonely and lonely all day long, just looking at it feels very pitiful?

Syllable!!

"Nope! I didn't want to plagiarize anyone's homework because my homework had already been done a long time ago!! ”

Seeing that his two twin brothers, who almost never talked to him well, ran over, Ron hurriedly closed his textbook as soon as possible, and only after preventing the two of them from seeing his homework did he continue with a stiff mouth:

"George and Fred, I'm going to correct you one thing: Harry is my friend, and that's true! However, Hermione is not anymore, not for the time being, because she hasn't apologized to me yet, so we haven't reconciled yet......"

'Ahh ’

"George! What are you doing?! ”

Ron just wanted to continue to assert himself, wanting to tell his two brothers that the reason why he was in a daze was definitely not because Harry was not there, so he couldn't borrow Miss Granger's notes, so he had to sit in a daze at the Potions class homework assigned by Snape's dark wizard?

However, before he could finish speaking, he found out that his pile of parchment was actually snatched by that George?!

It may be a bit difficult for others to distinguish between two twin brothers who are exactly the same in both hairstyle and clothing, and who often mischievous and deliberately confuse their identities, but for Ron, a member of the Weasley family, he can still tell which of the two twin brothers is George and who is Fred with his eyes closed, and it is no more difficult than he used to copy Hermione's notes or homework.

"Not yet?"

"Oh! George, listen...... It seems that we are not mistaken, but our good brother Ron is still arguing with the pride of our Gryffindor because of the place of the Triwizard Champion and the perfect 'jack-of-all-trades' Miss Granger! ”

"But Ron, you should be glad they didn't call you when they signed up, otherwise, we might have to pretend to cry and collect your body, we don't want to be missing your funny stupid brother in our big family......"

Fred heard Ron's words, so naturally, in order not to let his younger brother hide here alone and be sad, he directly and unceremoniously ridiculed the other party.

"Why? I'm no worse than Harry!! ”

Angry, Ron really became energetic and wanted to stand up, but soon he was forced to stand up by his two older brothers, and he couldn't move, and could only blush and glare.

"Nope! You're so much closer! ”

"Ron, look at you, these parchments are all blank, could it be that you wrote your Potions homework with invisibility potions? Come on...... Don't tell us that you haven't written a word of your Potions homework until now! Maybe it's time for you to think about what you're going to do the day after tomorrow to give Professor Snape a satisfactory account. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have been sitting here since dinner, what else do you have to say?"

At this time, George casually flipped through the pile of parchment he had just snatched, and found that the contents on it were almost the same as he thought, and sure enough, it was all blank, and only after he shook his head and threw it directly into the other party's arms.

"Ron, Harry's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is very strong and talented, don't you deny that?"

"As for Hermione, sometimes we have to go to her for help when we can't find the information, so, dear brother, ......"

"You should be proud to have their kind of friends, you don't know how much you have taken advantage of, so you should reflect on it and not mess with them for a little thing, that's not good!"

After George finished speaking, he and his twin brother Fred looked at each other and exchanged a helpless look. They were already wondering if their brother Ron had been abolished without Harry and Hermione.

They knew that there would be a Potions class the day after tomorrow, and when the time came, without receiving the assignment, they wondered how Professor Snape would fix up and clean up the poor brother Ron in their house! Anyway, they certainly didn't believe that the other party could succeed in making an assignment that satisfied Snape without an answer and without a ready-made assignment to imitate plagiarism.

“!!”

"What's the matter with you?"

"Didn't I just think about how I could do my Potions homework? Why did you come out and tell me so much? Now, George and Fred, I ask you to go away and don't interfere with me!! ”

In a fit of shame, Ron undid the two of them holding their shoulders, and then stood up angrily holding his textbook and still blank Potions homework.

Since there is someone in the Gryffindor common room now, I can only go back to my dorm room and write.

Although, Harry's guy is indeed not there, however, he still has his roommates Seamus and Neville, even if the two of them may not be much better than their own grades, but...... If both of them have finished writing and are happy to lend him a copy...... If you think about it, he definitely won't mind too much.

Merely......

What Ron didn't know was whether the two of them were in the dorm room or not.

After all, he knew the situation now, and most of the Hogwarts students and students liked to stay in the Great Hall, which was now a veritable common room for everyone, including the professors and Headmaster Dumbledore!

"Ron, you should have made peace with Hermione sooner, we're doing this for your good!"

"That's right! You have to think about it, you still need to stay in school for four years, and if you don't have Miss Jack-of-all-trades, you probably won't be able to graduate, right? ”

After seeing that Ron was leaving, and seeing that the other party's mental energy was really mobilized and not as depressed and desolate as before, the twin brothers continued to 'mend the knife' loudly in the back, and continued to hit the youngest brother of their family with that special way of agitation.

"Shut up!"

"I don't have to worry about my affairs with you two guys!!"

Now Ron had reconciled with Harry, but he hadn't figured out when he would reconcile with Hermione.

Perhaps, he would not forgive the other person until he won the Triwizard Tournament and generously offered him a few gold Galleons to buy him a new wand as a gift of reconciliation?

That's right, that's how the script should be!

Anyway, in Ron's opinion, whether it is subject one or subject two in progress, it is obvious that the powerful student will win the first place! Then, the last subject 3, which only started on June 24, will definitely not have much suspense...... In the current situation, whether it is Harry or Krum, or even the Meiwa Fleur who is at the end of the crane, it must not be comparable to that guy.

"Hey! Ron, we're here for your good! ”

"Listen to our advice, stop playing with your little nature, you really don't have many friends anymore, and Hermione ......"

“???”

"Hey! Li, what are you doing in such a hurry?! ”

Originally, George and Fred wanted to persuade their uncompetitive brother for the last time, but when they saw that their good friend, Lee Jordan, who often fooled around with them, didn't even bother to wear clothes at this time, and rushed out of the dormitory with the school uniform and disheveled, ready to run outside the Gryffindor common room, they naturally abandoned Ron and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

They remembered, when the two of them came out of the dormitory just now, their friend Lee Jordan was still holding the quilt on the bed to make up for sleep, why did he run out like this now, could it be that something big happened that they didn't know?

‘?? ’

Just getting up from the bed in a hurry, and seeing that there were still three Weasley brothers in the lounge, Lee Jordan couldn't help but wonder why those three were here...... Soon, though, he stopped caring about that strange thing:

'Quick! George! And Fred! ’

'Hurry up, I heard that there is another fight, and it will be gone if it is late!!' ’

Lee Jordan hurriedly put on the Hogwarts uniform robes, didn't even have time to put on his pants, and showed his long hairy legs, and ran to the portrait of the fat lady in a hurry, ready to get out of the Gryffindor common room, with a burning eyebrow, as if he didn't care about the questions of the two twin brothers, George and Fred.

"What's the fight?"

"Lee! Tell me who is fighting whom?! ”

George and Fred were puzzled, having no idea what the other was talking about or where they had heard the gossip.

"The Great Hall!"

"Just now they sent me a message, I heard that it was our warriors, they fought with those undead monsters again, and it was very exciting, why are you still here, why don't you hurry up and see the excitement?!"

After saying that, as the door of the lounge was opened, Lee Jordan finally didn't care to explain more, so he flew out, and then ran to the corridor in the distance, and even his white legs were exposed from the school uniform run.

“!!”

"Oh shit! Hurry up George, we have to hurry up too!! ”

"Ahh

"Wait for me, Fred......"

‘?? ’

'Ron? No, what are you doing here, don't you want to do your homework?! ’

After being reminded by Lee Jordan, the twin brothers, who knew that the two of them should do something now, ran out without thinking about it...... Then, when they noticed that their brother Ron was also following behind them, they couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Don't write it!"

"I'll write it tomorrow!!"

Ron, who originally thought that those four warriors were just doing that kind of boring thing like marching and trimming today, after hearing the news that Lee Jordan said, would he still take care of the homework there?

Anyway, at this time, he can't care too much......

As for homework or something, such as what the dark wizard of Snape would do to him if he couldn't finish it tomorrow, he really couldn't care about it at all at this time! In short, when the time comes, he will go to see the excitement first, and if he doesn't see it late, then tomorrow or when he goes to bed at night, he can only listen to others discuss excitedly and he can only stare dryly.

‘……’

‘……’

Originally, the twin brothers wanted to persuade their younger brother, but after seeing that Lee Jordan in front of them was running so fast that even his indecent leg hair was exposed, they thought about it and temporarily extinguished the idea of persuading their stubborn brother.

'Ahh~! ’

'Stop......

'I know it's wrong, Professor Anne, spare the little one, right?' ’

‘!! ’

'Let go of me!' ’

'Will you let it go?!' ’

'You, you'......'

'You abominable little brat! Enemies of the Forbidden Forest! Evil of the Black Lagoon! The butcher who kills animals! The culprit who eats Pegasus! Thieves in school greenhouses! Crucible Destroyer! The culprit of the smuggling gang! I warn you, hurry up and let me go!! ’

Otherwise, I'm going to shake out all your and let everyone in the school know your true colors!!" ’

In this empty hallway of the school castle, the Hogwarts Peeves, the prankster ghost, is desperately struggling and swearing...... However, no matter how much it screamed, cursed, and struggled, it couldn't open the little hand that a little girl was holding the back of its head.

Peeves, of course, is mischievous and has some serious evidence of the evil taught by a certain little girl...... However, it only dares to shout in such a place where there is no one, and when there are people or ghosts, it must not dare to easily shake out the things that are likely to cause it to be burned to death by a fire!

After all, no matter how naughty it is, it still knows something important when it comes to its own life and death.

"Huh?!"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?

Suddenly, Anne, who heard some footsteps, hurriedly reached out and slapped Peeves's head fiercely, causing the other party to close the broken mouth in an instant.

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

"Hey! Tibbs, what do they do? Are you playing some fun chase game?! ”

∑(?? △`)?!

Soon, in the corridor, Professor Anne, who was hovering above the corridor, still holding Peeves's back collar with one hand, was ready to concoct the other party, so that a ghost who didn't know whether she was alive or dead would know what a terrible fate would be to provoke her, and let a little thing know how precious the regret medicine was, first saw a disheveled guy running over......

Then, immediately after that, Ron and the two super funny twin brothers came running from behind, and after seeing them running over without raising their heads, she didn't even want to look at herself at all, she couldn't help but stop, floating directly in the air of Hogwarts, looking at the four guys without looking back in the direction they left.

(Report to the little master, they are not playing any games!)

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

- Of course, Tibbs knew why the three Weasley brothers and the guy named Jordan had just run over like that, so he directly rejected the speculation of his own bad little master. )

"It's not a game, so what are you doing?!"

(?????????? )?

Puzzled, Anne found that the four had run away, so she had to turn her head to look at Tibbs, the bad bear of her own who was pinned to her waist, to see what the other party could say.

‘……’

At this time, a certain Peeves who couldn't struggle no matter how hard he struggled, and who was still screaming just now, also quieted down.

Because it knows, this little girl professor really seems to be able to talk to her little bear? And, knowing the same thing about the teddy bear's power, and wondering what was going on, it honestly stopped to see what the little girl could know from the bear's mouth.

(Report to the little master, that's because those 'movies' in the auditorium have reached a wonderful place, so they have to run to see them.......

?? ●ˇ?? ˇ●??

- In fact, most of the Hogwarts students and students are now on the other side of the Great Hall, and it's a little girl who wanders around the castle and bothers with a ghost who doesn't have a mouth. )

"Ahh

!? (??''????)??

"You say the Great Hall is finally going to see another good show? It's so nice!! ”

?? *???? (ˊ?? ˋ*)???? *??

Little Anne cheered directly, and she was about to follow, but suddenly she listened again, and looked at Peeves who was preparing to catch her.

"My little bear just said, the 'movie' over there in the auditorium is a good show to watch, Peeves, do you want to go and see it?"

?? 乛?? 乛??

Before I went to see it, the Peeves I caught must have been punished, and little Anne had already thought of a punishment.

‘!! ’

'Think! I really want to! ’

Of course, when he heard that it was that kind of thing, Peeves hurriedly nodded.

You know, in the whole of Hogwarts now, whether it is teachers, students, professors, or even ghosts or those house-elves, all of them, ghosts, and demons have exactly the same entertainment, that is: gather in the Great Hall to watch 'movies'!!

Therefore, when he heard that the auditorium was 'showing' at the great part, he must have wanted to go through the walls and rush directly to the auditorium for the first time.

"But ......"

(???? ω????)

"You've just messed with someone, so ...... Peeves, goodbye~!! ”

-=???????? =?????????? (??)?? Yoo!

In the expectant and pleading gaze of a certain Peeves, the thief's smiling little Anne blatantly cast a spell, and after imprisoning the other party directly on the wall of the corridor with shadow energy, she landed directly and took a short step, carrying her own bear Tiebs, and ran in the direction of the Great Hall, leaving only a stunned transparent ghost imprisoned on the wall......

That's right, she did it on purpose, she was going to deliberately disgust and that Peeves! Who let it dare to offend her just now, and dare to shout to shake out all her affairs? She's so stingy, she's so cautious!

(…… )

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

‘!! ’

'Wait! ’

'Wait, Professor Anne?' ’

'Dear Professor Anne?! ’

'Oh no~! Don't do that, please, let me go! Please~! ’

‘……’

'Damn little girl, despicable little girl, come and let me go!!! ’

'Ahh!!h ’

'Woo woo woo woo ......'

'No ......'

'I'm going to see it too, ahhhh.......hh

‘……’

Soon, the terrible cries and whimpering sounds that belonged to Peeves finally sounded in the hallway of Hogwarts...... However, at this time, whether it was the students, the professors, or the other ghosts of Hogwarts, they had obviously gathered in the Great Hall to watch the excitement, and no one was willing to pay attention to its unpopular Peevs.

Besides, even if it screamed in its throat, the sound would definitely not reach the auditorium......

——————————

The flames had completely besieged the surrounding farmland of Firestone's Farm, and countless zombies, skeletons, and ghouls who followed the flames finally collapsed in the flames and remained motionless, allowing the flames to slowly incinerate them and reduce them to char or ashes before returning to the land of Lordaeron......

At this time, Harry and Hermione, the two young wizards who had been ruthlessly abandoned on the periphery to set fire because of someone's bad idea, were chasing and retreating under the siege of several ghouls who were on fire.

'Harry! This way! ’

‘!! ’

'Not good! There's one here, Hermione, run!! ’

‘……’

At this time, most of the time, Hermione was casting spells to resist or attack the siege of the ghouls who were not afraid of death, or it could be said that they had actually 'died', and Harry, who had been gradually losing his magic after setting fire to the haystacks, granaries and farmlands on the outskirts of Firestone's farm, was passively following Hermione's side, hiding in the shields that the other party opened from time to time.

He only barely managed to strike a blow or two when necessary, helping Hermione pick up the leaks, lest those horrible monsters break through that barrier shield and bite off his and Hermione's heads and eat them?

‘!! ’

'All Petrochemicals!! ’

Suddenly, after following Harry in one direction, he found that a ghoul jumped out of the fire in front of him to block the way of the two of them, Hermione didn't think about it, and quickly stretched out the wand in his hand, and a petrification charm accurately hit the ghoul, so that he didn't have time to 'brake' and suddenly his whole body froze, and then under the action of inertia, he rolled directly into the fire on the other side of the road.

In the case of being imprisoned by the petrification curse and unable to move in the slightest, even a very fire-resistant ghoul, once it pounces directly into the fire of that kind of fire, I believe that soon it will definitely become a real corpse that can never move.

'Woohoo~! ’

At this time, after the two of them stopped, the fastest ghoul who had been chasing behind them just now finally found the right time to pounce!

And so undyingly, Hermione's barrier shield happened to be up to the end of time, and before she could make up for it, the monster had already rushed up and stretched out its sharp claws and bared its fangs, and it was still carrying a back of flames, and it was emitting a foul smell and slammed down on Hermione's back!

At this time, Hermione, who had just cleaned up the ghoul in front of her, didn't see the situation behind her at all, and even if she did, maybe she would definitely not be too late to cast a spell! After all, the wands in her and Harry's hands weren't like Gianna's, and they certainly couldn't be turned up to smash people at such a critical time.

‘!! ’

'Legs stiffened and stopped!!' ’

Thankfully, however, Hermione wasn't alone at this point!

In addition to the countless people who are watching her with heart, there is also her friend Harry by her side!

Although, Harry, who had set fire excessively, was now mentally and physically exhausted, but at the critical moment, even if he was learning to often crane the tail, but his practical talent was unexpectedly full value, he did a great job in a hurry, using the little magic he had left, to squeeze out a key and practical little spell, directly locking the legs of the ghoul who was running quickly, and was about to pounce on Hermione and him!

'Whew......'

Then, of course, a whimper sounded, and the two legs behind the ghoul suddenly stopped locking, but when the claws were still waving in the air, it could only be planted to the ground, and after a hard fall, it rolled directly into a burning barn with a 'poof', presumably unable to get out in a short time.

'Huh!? ’

Hermione, who realized that she had almost died in the clutches of the ghoul, exclaimed, and ......

‘?? ναεμπ?? διο! ’

Seeing that her shield was gone at such a critical time, Hermione hurriedly stopped and waved her wand again, and after the wand spun three times in a very short time, with the spell turning, and then soon, a golden spherical shield once again protected her and Harry, who had just saved her life, and narrowly blocked the ghouls who were following her.

Burst!

Boom!

'Shhh~! ’

'Woohoo~! ’

'Click~Click~! ’

Then, of course, the ghouls who were chasing after her and Harry slammed into her shield, and began to scratch and gnaw at the top of the golden shield with their sharp claws and teeth, as if trying to break through the shield and attack the two inside?

‘!! ’

Call! Call!

'Yuga Dim Leviosa!!' ’

Finally, Hermione, who saw that the shield seemed to be able to hold out for a while, not rushing to escape, and that there were only a few enemies left, after breathing two breaths and calming her beating heart a little, she came up with a good idea.

In the next second, before the shield dissipated, the elastic and tough vine wand in her hand slashed through a beautiful trajectory, and then, the ghouls were directly suspended by her wand and floated helplessly in the air. +

"Go!!"

Immediately afterward, the ghouls, who had no way to use the tremendous strength that came from their respective bodies, struggled in vain for a while in the air, and did not know any magic, and even if their strength was great, they could only keep struggling with their teeth and claws, and they were thrown directly into the barn with the most burning and fierce fire in the distance with a wave of their wand......

“……”

"Whew! Call! ”

Call!

"Finally got rid of them......"

"Hermione, that levitation charm you just had was really awesome, it worked! But I'm not as skilled with that spell as you are! ”

Seeing that there were no more pursuers behind the two of them, Harry finally had time to hold his knees and gasp for breath and laugh bitterly at Hermione, who had just made a big deal and had dealt with several ghouls at once.

“……”

Call!

Hermione, who was a little pale, took a long time to come to her senses.

"They...... Are they dead? ”

Hermione was also slightly out of breath at this time, and her mind was blank.......

She had done that subconsciously just now, and she didn't have time to think about it, so now she could only look around vigilantly while maintaining the crumbling barrier, allowing the surrounding fire to reflect her face, which was already red with heat.

"I don't know ......"

"It's supposed to be dead, right? At least they don't seem to be visible from here......"

Harry exhaled and stood up straight, wiping the sweat from his forehead, whether he was tired or roasted, and said with some uncertainty.

After the battle just now, the two of them had just burned or killed about two or three hundred zombies, skeletons, and ghouls...... In fact, even Harry didn't expect that under the threat of death, he and Hermione would be able to burst out with such powerful fighting power...... Most of the credit actually went to Hermione, though, as the other's shield kept them both safe, allowing him to set fires and cast various unskilled spells in a relatively safe environment.

“……”

After looking left and right, and seeing that there was indeed nothing moving around her, Hermione nodded blankly while wiping the beads of sweat from her hairline.

"But Harry, we'd better hurry up and join that Prince of Arthas, this world, this kingdom of Lordaeron is really too dangerous here, my magic is almost at the bottom now, I feel like my head is about to explode!"

'Ouch......'

Once she had relaxed, Hermione began to moan and urge Harry, for she was indeed a little overdrawn by now.

Now, if a dozen more zombies or ghouls burst out, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to destroy their terrifying undead monsters, and she probably wouldn't be able to use a few effective spells again!

“!!”

"That's right! Hermione, you're right! I'm the same, let's go!! ”

Harry's condition was only worse than Hermione's, but, for some unknown reason, he was still in good spirits, except that he was a little tired and his magic had bottomed out?

"Hurry up!"

"They should be ahead, I hear them talking and slashing with weapons......"

With that, after discovering that there were no more monsters chasing the two, Hermione and Harry regained their direction and ran in the direction from which the weapons were striking and shouting, and gradually disappeared into the flames and smoke that rushed into the sky.

——————————

When Hermione and Harry completed the fire blockade on the periphery of Firestone's farm and exterminated the difficult two or three hundred undead, in the innermost part of the farm, on a flat ground that might have been originally stacked with crops, Arthas, Gianna, Fleur, Krum, and the knights of nearly 100 people left, after cutting down the last of the undead, finally surrounded a man in red and black mage robes next to the skeletal iron cauldron that still emitted billowing evil reddish-brown steam.

“!!”

"Are you...... Living?! ”

When the dust settled, when the other party was surrounded by himself and others, Arthas fiercely carried his glowing golden war hammer, the hammer of justice, the power of Minechil, and walked violently towards the villain who was dying and wanted to protect the evil plague steamer.

"Evil beings!"

"I don't understand, you guys, why do you create those plagues, why do you want to poison the people of the kingdom of Lordaeron?"

"What the hell are you for?!"

Almost all of them were non-verbal undead, zombies, skeletons, and ghouls, plus a small number of stitching monsters, etc., so now that he had caught a living person here, and it seemed that the other party was not low, and was one of the main culprits in spreading the plague, Arthas angrily stepped forward and questioned.

He could see that this guy in front of him, this necromancer, seemed to be dressed similarly to the Kel'thugad who had been contaminated with the granary he and Gianna had encountered before? Therefore, he can basically judge that the mage in front of him must have nothing to do with that Kel'thugad!!

"Hum ......"

"Stupid fellows, you will never understand the great mission of our Divine Cult, your victory today is meaningless, the end has come!!"

However, the necromancer didn't have a problem with Arthas, he just raised the skeletal staff in his hand, and it began to glow with magical power, as if he was ready to cast some powerful spell and resist stubbornly?

“……”

"You lunatics!!"

Arthas was furious, and he planned to step forward to find out about the other party's fate, but he still held back, because he could see that the other party seemed to be not low, so he wanted to capture the other party alive and try to see if he could get valuable information from the other party's mouth, so as to help them understand the terrible plague of this outbreak more intuitively?

"Lay down your arms and surrender!"

"Now you're the only one left here, and you have absolutely no chance in front of us! Surrender and confess everything you know, and I will consider putting you to a just judgment in the Kingdom! ”

"Maybe ......"

"Can you still pick up a small life with your performance?!"

Yes, Arthas felt that if the other party could confess everything, and help Lordaeron fight this plague, and help Lordaeron get enough information to destroy the Kel'thugad and the undead who spread in the Eastern Tirisfarian woodlands, he would definitely use his authority as the crown prince to save a small life.

'Hahahaha......'

'Foolish fellows, you will never know, death is only the beginning, I Bailmo may die here today, but we can have endless eternal life, you poor mortals......

As he spoke, the necromancer, who claimed to be Byermo, jerked up his glowing skeletal wand and aimed it at the plague steamer next to him, as if intending to blow up the terrible boiler and die with his enemies?

‘!! ’

'Avada Suo!! ’

Suddenly, Krum, who was standing behind the other party at this time, and surrounded the enemy with the others, made a move, and as soon as he struck out, it was a cruel spell like the Unforgivable Charm.

Then, a green light erupted from his 10.25-inch-long, hornbeam wood, with the core of the dragon's heart tendon cord, and the wand made of Grigovich erupted a green light that pierced through the necromancer's bone shield and hit him directly.

‘……’

Poof!

Immediately afterward, the Byrmore, who was still shouting unscrupulously and was about to destroy the plague steamer, stared wide-eyed, and at the moment when the wand in his hand dimmed, he fell directly to the dark and withered ground, motionless.

“!!”

"Who?!"

Gianna, who was just about to make a move, saw that Krum kill the evil necromancer with a spell that I don't know what faction spell was, and then turned sharply and shouted at the sea of fire behind her.

"It's us!"

"Sister Gianna, make us, me and Harry!!"

A familiar voice from Hermione sounded, and then Gianna quickly canceled the arcane energy on her wand, causing the ice arrow that was about to fly out just now to shatter into snowflakes?? And scattered in the air.

“……”

"Krum, you shouldn't have used the Unforgivable Charm ...... of the dark magic just now"

Hermione and Harry looked tired and avoided the burning houses and came to this relatively spacious flat area of the farmstead, and then looked at the Krum who had just cast the unforgivable curse.

“……”

"In our school, our professors taught us that this extreme evil can be dealt with with by all means of cruelty, including the Unforgivable Curse!!"

At this point, Krum, who still had the bubble head charm on his head, turned his head to look at the figure that had fallen to the ground motionless, and the wand in his hand was clenched even tighter.

You know, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is very tolerant of dark magic, plus that damn necromancer just killed a valiant knight...... If the other party hadn't helped him block it at that time, he Krum would have been lying on the ground...... Therefore, just now, his heart was full of fear, fear, anger and strong killing intent.

That kind of evil guy, the kind of existence that unleashes the plague to poison the creatures, makes the earth and plants wither, turns countless living people into undead, and turns villages into ruins, he Krum doesn't feel any regret for depriving the other party of life, because it is deserved!!

“……”

Harry looked at Krum, then at his surroundings, and then he didn't speak, and he didn't comment on Krum's actions.

After all, in Harry's opinion, this is not England, nor Europe, and if the Unforgivable Charm is used, no law should apply, so it is certain that no one will come here to capture Krum in Azkaban.

Besides, Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with killing the evil plague spreader, who was probably ten thousand times more evil than the Death Eaters.

“??”

"Hermione, what is the Unforgivable Curse? Why is that green magic black magic? ”

At this time, looking left and right, looking at Gianna, who had settled down here, after seeing that Arthas and Farrick Adjutant had already discussed with the dwarven leader Dagar about blowing up the plague steamer, and there was nothing to do with herself, she asked Hermione curiously.

In Gianna's opinion, it was good that the Krum had just cast that green 'Avada Suo' spell, killing the abominable necromancer at once, and avoiding unnecessary accidental injuries, so she didn't understand at all, why was that Krum blamed for that kind of finality?

"Sister Gianna, there are three unforgivable spells in our place, and they are: Heart-Piercing Curse, Imperius Curse, and Avada Death!"

"The law of the Ministry of Magic states that the three unforgivable spells are extremely evil and cruel black magic, and they are aimed at the human soul, so if they are used on a person, they will be imprisoned for life in Azkaban, which is one of our wizarding prisons......"

Speaking of this, Hermione looked at Krum with some concern, she wondered, after this second round of the Triwizard Tournament, the other party would be held accountable for that Avada's life?

What's more, Hermione knows that there are many spells that can cause harm or death to people, such as: clear water like a spring can drown people, broken bones can blow people to death, transformation charms, levitation spells, imprison spells, etc. can achieve certain goals, and you don't necessarily have to use Arvada to kill people, even if the other party is an extremely evil existence.

And, as far as Hermione knew, it was said that the Avada Curse was a direct soul take? So, in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic, although there is a lot of magic that can kill wizards or Muggles, once the spell involves the soul, it is a big problem! In addition, the Avada Curse comes from the great malice and killing intent in the heart of the wizard, and it is still soul-destroying, which will pollute the soul of the wizard to a certain extent...... Therefore, like the Imperius Curse, Heart-Piercing Bone Piercing and other spells that control or torture the soul, they are considered to be blasphemy against the soul, so they are listed as unforgivable spells.

"For souls?"

"Yes! The soul is indeed a forbidden realm, as can be seen from these cursed cultists and these plagues......"

Gianna nodded, but she didn't continue to comment on the Krum's actions, nor did she blame the other party, but she also knew that magic against the soul, even in Dalaran, was a forbidden school of learning, and was not understood by others.

“……”

However, in the face of Hermione's words just now, which was more worried than accusatory, Krum didn't say much, he just walked silently into the distance, and walked to the knight who was lying motionless on the ground with his sword in his hand, and the breath of life had long been far away.

Then, after thinking about it, he crouched down, stretched out his hand with some trembling, and groped awkwardly on the helmet, as if intending to take off the other party's helmet and see what the knight who risked his life to block it for him looked like.

"No!"

"Although I don't understand the classification of the tricks of your mages and wizards, I am still too merciful to these evil beings who vainly try to destroy Lordaeron and use the plague to maim the people of Lordaeron!"

In Arthas's opinion, the anger in his heart had never been extinguished for a moment, that Avadaso Curse, that is, the green light just now, had finally made the necromancer die too painfully and a little too merciful...... If you are so evil, you should burn them to ashes or blow them to pieces, right?!

"Forget it......"

"You better get ready, it's too dangerous here, the poisonous gas of the plague is too strong, wait until we burn this place first, destroy the plague steamer, and then hurry back!"

Although they had just extinguished the firewood at the bottom of the plague steamer, the plague gas here was still very strong, so they couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise they would definitely cause irreversible and terrible damage to everyone's bodies.

‘!! ’

‘?? ’

"Be careful!"

"Not good!!"

At this time, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Arthas, who was about to turn around and leave, seemed to feel something, and immediately turned around suddenly, and exclaimed in the direction where the Krum was just now! And the captain Farrick not far from Alsace, as a veteran, also rushed over with an exclamation for the first time!

It's a pity that they all seem to be a little slower to react......

Burst!!

Everyone was shocked to see that the corpse of the knight who was lying motionless on the ground suddenly raised the long sword in its hand at this time, and then directly pierced the chest of Krum, who was caught off guard, or it could be said that he was completely defenseless?

‘……’

"No!!"

"Krum?"

"Krum !!"

Harry, Hermione, and a somewhat hesitant Fleur exclaimed in unison, and then watched as the long, bloody hilt of the sword pierced through Krum's thick back......

Qiang!!

In the panic, Captain Farrick, who reacted the fastest and was the first to rush forward, directly unsheathed his long sword, and with a single sword, he cut off the hand of the 'knight' who attacked the friendly army and the joint of the arm armor, and then, Alsace, who then rushed over, stepped forward and slammed the 'knight' who had come back from the dead and was obviously no longer their own man with his hammer of justice.

'Hiss......'

However, soon everyone saw that the 'knight' who had his arm cut off and his chest collapsed was still struggling to get up after he landed? And, with a roar of unknown significance?

“!!”

"Be careful! The plague toxin here is very strong, and the corpses transform into undead faster, so be sure to pay attention to those corpses!! ”

After seeing his subordinates immediately surround the 'knight' who had come back from the dead, and chop it up with his sword, Arthas warned his subordinates and shouted at them to be careful of their surroundings, especially those 'fresh' corpses, before he hurried forward to check the wizard Krum, who was now being held by the three little wizards and his lieutenant Farrick.

"Krum?"

"Krum...... You—Cheer yourself up......"

“……”

Harry and Hermione cried out a little tremblingly, and Fleur stood with her mouth covered, completely unsure of what to do.

however

Although Harry and Hermione were covering each other's chests hard, the warm blood was still pouring out of the blood groove of the knight's sword that passed through the chest, and no matter how much they pressed it, it was useless......

'Uh......'

Soon, the other party's eyes began to gradually drift, and his mouth was still open and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word at all.

“……”

How so......

Fleur, who didn't dare to step forward, was completely stunned, although this was not the first time she had seen a dead person, but now that it was her companion who died, she was still scared when she was a warrior of the Triwizard Tournament like herself!

So

She couldn't do anything but look at everything in front of her with a shudder, and she couldn't believe it could happen to her.

“!!”

"That's right! Prince Arthas, don't you know that magical light? Hurry up, please, save him!! ”

At this time, Harry was the first to react, hurriedly grabbed the big hand of the Prince of Arthas who had come to check on Krum's injury, and then pleaded with an anxious expression glistening with tears.

'Alas......'

However, his expectant expression was really only the movement of the other party gently breaking away his hand and a regretful sigh?

"No, it's useless......"

"Give up, Harry!"

"He is gone, his heart is pierced, he is bleeding profusely, the plague has contaminated him, my light cannot save him......"

With that, Arthas reached out and gently closed his eyes on Krum before he sighed and stood up.

This level of injury, unless it was the presence of his teacher, Uther Lightbringer or Archbishop Fao, who was here just now, would definitely be hopeless!

However, his teacher, Uther Lightbringer, was not here, and Archbishop Fao had long since died and was buried in the Tirisfard Glades...... Therefore, at this moment, the little wizard Krum in front of him is indeed hopeless.

This situation is very normal on the battlefield, if you are not careful, you will die, and no one knows who will die in the next moment! Arthas had seen this a lot, and even he himself was prepared to die on the battlefield at some point.

"No, how can this be......"

'Krum ......'

‘……’

Watching their companions, watching this warrior from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry die in front of them, Hermione, Harry, and Fleur couldn't believe it was true!

You know, just now, the other party was okay and killed the terrifying and evil necromancer, why now, when they were about to share the joy of victory, the other party said that it was gone?!

"Everyone!"

"Now is not the time to mourn, for under the plague, all of them, whether they are the people of Lordaeron or our warriors, or our friends and relatives, can die at every moment! So, it's time for us to leave, there's more important things to do! ”

With that, Arthas waved his hand and motioned for Gianna and his cavalry to mount the three little wizards who still couldn't believe the facts, because they were about to blow up the evil plague steamer and burn down the Firestone farm completely.

"Farik!"

"Write down the names of all those who died in battle, and burn this place right away! We don't have time to bury the corpses of the warriors, so let them be reduced to ashes and rest here in the land of Lordaeron! ”

"...... later"

"After the victory, the royal family of Lordaeron will definitely erect statues and inscriptions for them here!!"

As he mounted his horse, the Prince of Arthas gave his own order, which was the last thing he could do.

'Yes!! ’

'Your Highness, rest assured, I know what to do......

With Farrick's loud promise, and as Arthas and the others got on their horses and left, soon the entire Firestone Farm, including the extinguished plague steamer, along with the dozen or so knights of Lordaeron who had died in battle, and the corpse of the Krum, all turned into flames with a loud explosion and a fire......

In the darkness of the night, the fire burned so fiercely that it almost reddened half of the sky...... Perhaps, whether it is a natural disaster or the surviving people near Lordaeron, they can see the movement here from a long distance, right?

However, the group of people who were riding on their horses and leaving quickly at this time were not in the mood to see that kind of scene...... Because their hearts are filled with anger, sadness, helplessness, hesitation, and all kinds of other emotions.

Although they won a victory and smashed a plague device at a very small cost, no one could be happy at this time!

For no one knows how many more plague steamers there are, no one knows how many more people will die from those terrible plagues and become enemies, and no one knows what terrible scenes will await them in Andorhar......

“......”

Ay!!

Looking at Hermione, who was being held tightly in her arms, looking at the sad faces of the other party, and then looking at Harry and Fleur, who were also in the saddle by the knights, Gianna thought about it, and some of the comforting words that she originally wanted to say turned into a helpless sigh in the end.
