Chapter 38: A Duel of Blood
"There was no chance, they kept watching me. Wherever I wanted to go, I had more than two professors with me. Leaning casually and lazily against a tree, the snake woman Voldemort said nonchalantly. She was talking about Horcruxes, the Ravenclaw Crown and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup at Hogwarts. She had gone to Hogwarts to cause trouble for Dumbledore, as well as to retrieve the Horcruxes. However, as she said, the professors at Hogwarts were staring at her, and even if she was very skilled in magic, she could not take the Horcruxes under their sight. Those professors won't allow one more Voldemort!
"Yes. I know. Go and change your outfit, it's not for you. The tone of the ordinary Voldemort was very flat, like a command. In his opinion, what the snake lady Voldemort is wearing now is a shame! The snake woman Voldemort is also Voldemort, his doppelganger, how could he allow his doppelganger to dress up like this? It's embarrassing enough to be turned into a woman by Liu Hong, if the doppelganger doesn't know self-love, then isn't his face completely gone?
"You're ordering me? Take care of yourself! But his words deeply irritated Voldemort, the snake woman, and that tone made her angry. The snake woman Voldemort doesn't think of herself as a clone of ordinary Voldemort, as I have said before, she even looks down on ordinary Voldemort a little.
"Don't embarrass me!" The eyes narrowed slightly, and the venomous and sharp gaze stabbed the snake woman Voldemort, and ordinary Voldemort seemed to be incarnated as a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to choose someone to devour at any time.
Does the snake lady Voldemort show weakness? The same vicious and sharp gaze also seemed to incarnate a poisonous snake, and the snake girl Voldemort also said coldly: "Who is embarrassed!" Look at you're dressed like a mouse, almost like you've just come out of the sewers! β
Inserting himself between the two of them, who were getting more and more tense, the basilisk Voldemort said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" Even if we are divided, we are still alone! β
Basilisk Voldemort wasn't stupid at all. Although usually a little jumpy, a little impulsive. But he is also Voldemort, and has inherited all of Voldemort's memories, but his heart is sixteen years old! This makes him seem a bit naΓ―ve between normal Voldemort and the snake lady Voldemort. But no one can speak of his wisdom!
The duel was in full swing, and by nightfall, the venue had been completely set up under the influence of magic. In order to eliminate the duelists, it is also the nervousness of the students. The officials of the Ministry of Magic and the major schools decided to hold a bonfire. The proposal was made by a Muggle-born Minister of Magic, and was immediately approved by most of the people. After all, whether it is a pure-blood or a half-blood, they don't want their successors to make undeserved misjudgments in stressful situations.
Of course, there is no need to say how many temptations and intrigues there are in this bonfire party, Liu Hong doesn't want to know at all. That kind of thing has nothing to do with him, as long as the balance of the various forces is roughly maintained so that he can be left and right. What he needed to focus on was what secrets lay in the bloodlines of purebloods, and how Muggles evolved into wizards. What is lurking in their blood? If it weren't for Liu Hong's lack of profoundness in the study of souls, Liu Hong would have wanted to study their souls.
The bonfire party with an undercurrent of joy on the surface passed in the reluctance of the students. It's not just the joy of the bonfire that they don't want to give. And the resistance to tomorrow's duel. But no one could stop the passage of time, and the sun rose the next day.
From seven o'clock, organize, assemble, go, and line up. By the time everything was done, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
Standing on the simple construction of a tall wooden building, the principals of the three major European magic schools and the ministers of magic of various countries stood up.
He nodded to the others. Ordinary Voldemort, the initiator of the duel, blessed the magic and said loudly: "Now, the duel begins!" β
In an instant, the students of the three major magic schools felt that their blood had clotted. But the next moment, they felt their blood boiling. The nervousness and excitement made most of them tremble, and, of course, fear.
And the corners of Liu Hong's mouth, who was staying at the edge of the field, were also torn apart when ordinary Voldemort announced. His eyes swept through the large medical box imperceptibly. It was filled with test tubes, which Liu Hong intended to use to draw the blood of the students for research.
"It's better for everyone to come to me!" He thought maliciously, and the eyes that looked at the students lined up also revealed a hint of greed: "Do you want me to use the qi machine to interfere?" β
However, this idea only circulated in Liu Hong's heart for a while, and he gave it up. Because there are so many wizards here. And the dueling arena is also protected by magic. Although his qi is hidden, it will inevitably be detected by those magics when it is used to interfere with people. When the time comes, it will really be impossible to steal chickens and rice.
The choice of the dueling opponent is a draw, which is separated for each school year. But all the students of the same school year are mixed together, and not only will they draw opponents from other magic schools, but even their own schools will also draw. In fact, Voldemort was very much in favor of this approach. But he had to agree. The children of the purebloods are not all in Durmstrang, so even if they support Voldemort, they will not let their children take meaningless risks. If you can touch less, you will touch less. Durmstrang's pupils were very aggressive under Voldemort's tutelage.
Soon, the students who had drawn the lot began to duel. Duels between students are actually very rigid, and they are generally faster than whom. For example, the speed at which you can swing your wand and the speed at which you can chant spells. Whoever uses magic first is the winner. This made Liu Hong, who was looking forward to it, very bored. What's more, the students are using disarming charms that don't have offensive power except for your weapons!
If no one is injured, he can't be treated, and naturally there is no bloodline gene to collect!
After watching more than a dozen boring duels with a blank face, Liu Hong finally lifted his senses. Because next is the duel between Durmstrang students and Hogwarts students, and more importantly, Hogwarts students or Gryffindor!
"Durmstrang, 4th grade, Luther!"
"Hogwarts, fourth year, Luna!"
In the dueling arena, Luther's expression was cold and indifferent, it seemed that he would not pay attention to this level of duel at all, and the wizards watching around him would not affect his mood. Luna, on the other hand, was a little worse. Although she didn't have any gaffes, everyone on the sidelines could see her nervousness. Yes, she. Luna is a girl, and her body and expression are very stiff right now.
"Are you a pureblood?" Looking at Luna's performance, the corners of Luther's mouth hooked slightly.
Slightly stunned, Luna hurriedly said, "No." I am"
"Well, no need to explain. I've got it clear. Interrupting Luna rudely, the smile on Luther's lips revealed a hint of hideousness even more obviously: "Mudbloods, right? β
"You" Just as Luna was irritated by Luther's rude salutation and tried to retort, the referee shouted "Ready!" β
Unable to refute, Luna quickly adjusted her mood and placed her wand in the most convenient place while walking to the middle of the dueling arena and standing back to back with Luther.
"I'll let you know what pain is, mudbloods!" Luther's impudent voice rang out again, a slight but clear sound in Luna's ears.
"Let's go!" Almost pinching the time, the referee's voice sounded every time Luna was about to fight back, making her irritable! But what can she do?
"One step! Two steps! Three steps and seven steps! Eight steps! Nine steps! Ten steps! Now is the time! Quickly turning and waving her wand, Luna opened her mouth to say, "Except for you"
"Invisible Blade!" Luna, who was still waving her wand and chanting spells, had a trail of blood on her wrist that quickly expanded, and the hand fell off! Luther had already used his magic before her! An attack spell different from the Disarming Charm!
"Ahh Unable to chant the spell, Luna crouched down and clenched her hands and screamed. After all, she is a girl who is only a teenager, how can she stay calm under the pain of a broken hand.
"Rubbish! Sure enough, it's a mudblood! Luther continued to sneer.
"Victor, Durmstrang 4th grader, Luther!" The referee called out the verdict in time, and then came to Luna's side to help her up, picking up her severed hand that was still clutching her wand after it was cut off: "Go to the doctor, he'll treat it"
"No, I'm already here." Liu Hong's voice suddenly sounded beside him. However, he didn't carry any items, medical kits, or potions, and instead walked over to Luna's side to check on her severed hand.
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry." Smiled gently at the strong little girl in front of her who was pale and trembling, and kept having tears in her eyes but didn't cry, Liu Hong reached out a little of her shoulder and sealed the perception of her severed hand.
Taking the severed hand from the referee's hand, Liu Hong gently took Luna's severed hand and took it, and said softly: "There won't be any pain, don't worry!" β
The refining reaction flickered. It's very easy to connect the severed hands, after all, they're all active. And alchemy is even more of a healing magic, but Luna's hand has already been received in a second or two. There were no signs of injury other than sticky bloodstains, just another ring of slightly whiter lines. But it also looks very healthy, as if the location has only been wearing a bracelet all year round and has not been exposed to the sun.
Reaching out to Luna's shoulder again to untie the acupuncture points above, Liu Hong smiled: "How do you feel about moving?" β
Luna moved her wrist and noticed that she didn't feel any discomfort, and it was even a little more relaxed!
Looking at Luna's expression, Liu Hong knew that she didn't have any problems anymore, so he smiled: "Okay, let's get down." You've lost after all. β
At the same time, his sleeve shook slightly, and an inconspicuous mark slipped down his sleeve into his arms.
"Why are you helping Voldemort?" Just as Liu Hong was about to leave, Luna suddenly asked in a low voice. The voice trembled slightly, timidly, and extremely pitiful. Especially with her big watery eyes that had just shed tears.
After a slight pause, Liu Hong left without answering. (To be continued.) )
