Chapter 41: The Duel and Durmstrang
Love a challenge?
John suddenly realized, no wonder he touched the dragon's belly to death, there was really a skill in it.
After the three of them met each other, John also knew where he was.
Scandinavia, and Durmstrang School is also here.
"Edgar, can you get us out of here?"
John asked, and Heinrich looked at John, his soft-looking appearance and pale cheeks reminded John of the Malfoy boy.
Heinrich spoke in astonishment, and suddenly praised: "You are very strong. ”
"Uh...... Thanks for the compliment. John modestly responded.
Heinrich didn't mean that, his eyes were fixed on John, he took off the glove of his right hand and threw it at John's feet, and said, "I will fight you in a duel." ”
Duel?!
John froze, and Fleur said angrily, "We saved you!" ”
"You know, you're a dragon whisperer like Merlin." Heinrich stared at John and said word by word: "Beat me, and I'll tell you how to go back." ”
Fleur approached John and whispered in his ear, "He seems to have his eye on you." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, John always feels that there is some schadenfreude in Fleur's words.
Fleur smiled, her sour fruit revenge was avenged.
Of course, she was not afraid that John would lose, and it was enough to see John's strength when she dealt with the fire dragon just now.
It's not a good thing to be targeted by Edgar, they're crazy people in the extreme.
If John hadn't agreed, I'm afraid Heinrich would have let them wander here any longer.
In order to be able to go back as soon as possible, John had no choice but to agree.
Duel.
He remembered Professor Flitwick, a professor whose diminutive stature was the winner of the dueling tournament.
John and Heinrich were back to back, their wands in their hands, and they walked behind them.
They were still counting, and when it was ten, they attacked at the same time.
John's speed was faster, he had a quick attack blessing, and he started to shoot with a single shot of broken bones.
Heinrich's reaction was not slow, and the Iron Charm blocked the front and quickly counterattacked.
The two of them come and go, not at all like two students, more like experienced fencers.
The wand is their sword, radiant and striking.
John dodged a small curse and raised his hand to unleash his highest-level spell.
Similarly, Heinrich used what he did best.
Incendio X2
Two flames erupted and collided into a sea of fire.
John's level 4 flame spell met an opponent, but it didn't matter, John was superior.
The orange-yellow flames overshadowed him, and just before he was about to consume Heinrich, John reduced the Crushing Charm to its lowest power and hit Heinrich.
"You're defeated."
John didn't attack further, his left hand hung down, and his right hand was behind his waist.
Heinrich stood up in silence, picked up his wand, and said, "You are indeed very strong, but I am defeated." ”
He recognized it neatly, and John smiled slightly, now he can take himself away.
"I can tell you how to get out of here, to Durmstrang, where there's a Floo network to use."
John thought about it and accepted the offer, but he remembered that Durmstrang wasn't friendly to mudbloods, and he wouldn't have been beaten by crowds in the past, right?
"Probably not, I don't say, who knows."
John and Fleur travel to Durmstrang and finally have a way out with Heinrich at the helm.
Out of the Valley of Extinction, walk along the mountain road.
Unlike John, who was in the wrong car, Heinrich walked out of the valley with a horse-drawn carriage outside.
"Master Heinrich, who are these two?"
The white-haired butler squinted dangerously at the two Johns.
"You don't need to ask too much, Rick."
Heinrich didn't bother to explain too much, and the old butler Rick had to keep his mouth shut.
"It's not a house elf."
John was also surprised to see Rick's old butler, pure-blood wizards basically have house-elves in their homes.
Compared to hiring someone else, house-elves, a free labor force that doesn't cost a lot of money, can save a lot of money.
For example, Malfoy has elves in his house.
Once in the carriage, the carriage drove all the way to Durmstrang.
Somehow, John always felt that Heinrich's eyes were always on him.
He quietly moved to the left, and Heinrich's gaze shifted at the same time.
He moved to the right again, and Heinrich still followed.
"Fleur, what are you talking about?"
Fleur is trying to stifle a smile, "Edgar, the strongman's deputy. ”
John felt very big, this Edgar would not rely on himself.
What kind of strong man is he?
Alas, tired heart.
It's obviously a holiday, so it's okay to be forced to continue going to school, and if you want to watch a game to relax, you will be thrown to the Valley of Despair to be chased by the fire dragon.
John felt like the first-year holidays were all over the place.
The carriage came to a castle, which was Durmstrang Castle.
It's not as magnificent as Beauxbatons, and it's not as rich as Hogwarts.
It's a simple four-story castle with a vast expanse of magnificent scenery.
There is a mountain lake behind Durmstrang Castle, and some of the students who stay at the school take off their clothes and jump in to take a bath.
It's an unchartable place, and it's been magically tricked.
Fleur didn't have much affection for Heinrich, an impolite guy, even if the other party had a good-looking face, but it really didn't make people like it.
Upon walking into the school, those students who stayed in Durmstrang seemed to feel the same way as Fleur.
They all had a dislike and avoidance attitude towards Heinrich, and they didn't want to pay attention to even the two outsiders.
This situation is very similar to Fleur's, and it also makes Fleur's hatred for Heinrich a little less.
Arriving at a fireplace, Heinrich said, "John. From here, you can get to the Missing Hat Square. ”
"Thank you Heinrich, when you have time to come to Hogwarts, I will definitely take you to have a good time."
I was finally able to go back, and John was in a good mood.
Heinrich nodded vigorously when he heard his words, and replied in a low and slightly hoarse voice, "I will go." ”
Seeing that his reaction was a little too excited, John didn't know how, and felt that maybe he would really have a chance to meet.
He shook hands with Heinrich and said goodbye, and then went into the fireplace with Fleur and lit the green fire and left.
...
After traveling from Durmstrang to Missing Hat Square to find a portkey, John and Fleur wander around several times before finally returning to Beauxbatons.
After this toss, both of them were physically and mentally exhausted.
But because of this, the relationship between the two has also become better.
For the rest of the day, John stayed in the alchemy room, and occasionally Fleur would make some cookies for John.
John felt happy after eating, and he wondered if it had been added to the magic of the baby.
On this day, John came out of the alchemy room, he stretched, and his body clicked a little stiffly.
"If the sword is not refined like this, the body will collapse first."
John was going to catch up on sleep after a morning run, and when he returned to his dorm room after his morning run, there was an extra letter in the room.
He took it apart and saw that it was written by Dumbledore.
"Dear John, I hope you have a nice holiday, and I'm sorry to disturb you, but I have a small request that I would like you to fulfill."
"To rue Montmorency?"
John put down the letter, and it seemed that this was his fourth stop.
After a good night's sleep, John used Floo powder and headed to Paris.
Rue Montmorency is one of the oldest streets in Paris.
John was walking down the street and he sensed something was wrong.
It seems that someone is spying on him.
This feeling is not unfounded.
John dimly leaned through the glass and saw a man following him.
Perhaps because he felt that a little wizard was not too much of a threat, this man seemed very casual.
John sneered, do you really think you can handle it casually?
He quietly quickened his pace and walked towards the corner of the street.
The man followed.
"Gone?"
The man who walked around the corner was shocked to find that John had disappeared.
"Stupefy"
Before he could react, he was hit by a spell in his chest.
John lifted the illusion spell and stared at the fainting man, using the levitation charm to drag the man away.
