Chapter 296: Voldemort

Hogwarts Castle, in the brightly lit auditorium, is hosting an exciting dueling match.

Xiwen sat comfortably in the audience, enjoying the wonderful duels on the stage.

He hadn't participated in a Hogwarts duel class since he successfully skipped a level in Year 3 and won first place in the school's dueling competition.

In fact, according to his huge reputation as the leader of the entire pure-blood new force now, whether it is Principal Dippert or Professor Meles, several of their deans also clearly understand Xiwen's current strength, and naturally they will not force him to participate in this kind of dueling competition that has no technical content for him.

After all, if Xiwen was allowed to win the duel competition alone every time, the position of the duel champion would probably not change for nearly five years from his third grade to seventh grade.

This long-term lack of a chance to win the championship will definitely have a great blow to the enthusiasm of other young wizards participating in dueling matches.

After Sevan withdrew from dueling and Miranda left Hogwarts for an internship, the selection of champions went through several twists and turns, and after several alternations, such as Charles Potter, Septimus Weasley, Ignatius Prewit, and others, these people gradually graduated.

Waiting for this school year, the champion of the duel competition skipping challenge has finally stabilized-

Slytherin's Tom Riddle has won most of the semester!

In the Hogwarts Great Hall, amid thunderous applause, Riddle gracefully straightened his slightly messy robe and helped his opponent to the ground.

Then a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, and he smiled and waved his hand to the many young wizards in the audience.

engulf

Professor Slughorn stood up excitedly and clapped him vigorously, and even Professor Meleth, who had always been very demanding of young wizards, looked satisfied.

Compared to the hanging Xiwen, Riddle seems to be the real genius of Hogwarts, and his excellent strength, outstanding performance, and handsome face are all sought after by many young wizards, and are also loved by almost all professors.

Even the opponents who were defeated by Riddle could not raise any ill feelings towards him, and could only be willingly impressed by the personality charm of this young wizard who was only in the fourth year.

With this prestige, Riddle rearranged his name and gave himself a new name, Voldemort.

Within a few months, Voldemort's name spread throughout Hogwarts!

"Voldemort! Voldemort! ……”

Now, the audience is enthusiastically chanting the name Voldemort.

Riddle was pleased that the audience was calling out Voldemort instead of Riddle, so he politely turned around and bowed deeply to the crowd before stepping off the dueling ring.

"Wonderful duel, Riddle." Shivin in the audience stood up, smiled and patted Riddle on the shoulder.

Riddle's face froze when he heard his original surname, and then he smiled and said, "Actually, I have a new name, you can call me Voldemort now, Rozier." ”

"Voldemort? Speaking of which, I don't quite know what you mean by that word. Xiwen looked at him curiously and asked. It seems a bit like a French vocabulary, Vol is to fly, de is a preposition, mort is death, do you mean to fly away from death, Riddle? ”

"It can be understood that way." Riddle pursed his lips and whispered.

"Then I'll call you that, Reed...... Voldemort. Ahem, I still feel a little uncomfortable. Shivin smiled and said to Riddle. You don't have to fear death, Voldemort. Many of my elders have said that death is nothing but a greater adventure. ”

Speaking of which, Siwen thought of the Lemay couple, who invented the Philosopher's Stone, but were still willing to face death in times of need; Thinking of what Dumbledore had told him, there was no need to pity the dead, and that he should care for his relatives and friends who were still alive; I also thought of Newt, who was willing to risk himself to protect magical beasts.

In their hearts, they must have already understood this sentence, "Death is just a greater adventure"!

Riddle was silent for a moment before saying, "I have to admit that I didn't reach that level. ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't reached the level where I can see through life." Xiwen said with a chuckle. "We're still young, and it's a bit unfounded to think about death. Just do what is in front of you. ”

"If it's peacetime, it's true." Riddle pursed his lips and said disapprovingly. "But we all face the threat of death at all times. I don't think there's any advantage to being young in this kind of change. ”

"But it's nothing to you, is it, Voldemort?" Shivin raised an eyebrow and looked at Riddle and said. "You're the first person to duel at Hogwarts!"

Riddle's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, but he showed a self-deprecating expression and said to Xiwen. "Don't make fun of me, Rozier. If it weren't for the fact that you hadn't participated in the recent dueling match, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to skip the sixth grade. ”

"There's no need to be presumptuous, maybe I can't beat you now?" Shivin smiled lightly and said to Riddle.

"It's not funny at all." Riddle shook his head and said self-deprecatingly. "Who doesn't know that you are now the leader of a new pure-blood force? Did you know that the Daily Prophet mentioned that experts have rated your strength as the first person under the Great Wizard? ”

"Strength can only be compared in battle, not evaluated by those experts." Xiwen sneered and said disapprovingly. "If you want me to say, instead of doing evaluation and analysis everywhere, those so-called experts should go to the battlefield and follow the wizard team, even if they can solve a Grim Reaper's worship, it can be regarded as their contribution."

"I don't think it's appropriate to have those experts on the wizard squad." Riddle also laughed and said. "That's too unfair to the members of the team, not only to endure the fingers of those experts, but also to be held back by them, maybe the efficiency will be reduced after adding people."

Shevin and Riddle looked at each other, and they both laughed out loud.

After laughing at the so-called experts who got in the way, Riddle was the first to stop laughing, and then asked with some abruptness:

"Rozier, you say, what benefits did those Death God believers get, why should they work for a demon god?"
