Chapter 54: Winter Hunting, Ready! (7K, 3-in-1)
The refreshing aroma of grass wafted through the kitchen, the centaur herbal spice packet was boiled by Harry as tea, and Vernon and Penny, who were awakened by the noise between the two of them, enjoyed the hot tea.
"Good stuff, Harry, it's so much better than coffee."
Feeling refreshed and refreshed, Uncle Vernon put down the empty glass and poured himself a full one.
"I've brought a lot of them back, it's a little thing from the Forbidden Centaurs at Hogwarts, and it's a great stew, Aunt Petunia you can try it later."
"That's great."
Petunia smiled, she had always regretted that she couldn't learn magic, but if she had access to the novelties of the wizarding world, it would be a good substitute.
The Ministry of Magic is very lenient in the management of Muggle families with young wizards at home, and even allows them to enter Diagon Alley with young wizards and go to the wizarding world, their children are wizards, and parents also have the right to know.
And next to the two people who tasted tea elegantly, Dudley, who buried his head in the basin and drank it by washing his face, was not so .....
"Saved! I'm alive! β
Dudley, who had lifted his head from the basin, threw his head back on his chair, and the terrible taste that had permeated his mouth before was finally neutralized and erased by the effect of the grass tea, and he would have to drink it for four whole months at the thought of this terrible thing!
His face turned pale in an instant, reddened by the heat.
"You can choose not to drink it, Dudley."
Glancing at him, Harry sat down across from Dudley, a familiar glass bottle placed on the table.
"Stay away from me! Go far!! β
Dudley screamed in terror and shuddered as he hugged his shoulders and shivered, he was afraid that Harry would pounce on him and pour the thing into his mouth again, and he wouldn't want to experience it a second time.
"Cut~" Harry pouted disdainfully, although he knew that the potion he boiled was not delicious, but it depended on who he was compared to, the taste and taste of the potion brewed according to the war potions were very poor, but Snape's potion had broken through the lower limit of taste and texture, and compared with Harry's beloved godfather, he was not a little trick.
"It's impossible to think about it if you want to become stronger without paying the price, magic can do a lot of magical things, but magic is not omnipotent."
Harry, who directly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank the potion clean in one gulp, wiped his mouth, Harry, who had already experienced Snape's potion, had made great progress in his endurance, and he slowly drank the grass tea and rinsed his mouth, but the strange smell in his mouth did not make him frown.
Dudley shuddered, then carefully took Harry's glass bottle, licking the few remaining drops of potion inside.
"Gaching~~~Ggag~~~Gaching~~~"
Dudley, who was retching with a basin, turned a little blue, and only after snatching the teapot from his old father's hand and half a pot of tea did he open his mouth with palpitations.
"The wizarding world is a terrible place.... It's only been a few months, and Harry has already become a monster who is not human, this potion is something that people can mouth? β
"It's good to get used to it." Harry didn't care, "And did you notice, after drinking this potion, your body is so hot that you don't feel cold even if you run naked in the snow without clothes." β
"It's like.... Is that so? β
Dudley, who was a little suspicious, got up and staggered, there was indeed a warm current wrapping around his body, he was still wearing thin pajamas, and he must have felt a little cold on weekdays.
"This is a deteriorated version of the sun moisturizing potion I made, I made this with the help of Professor Snape, although it is a little hard to drink, but it can really improve physical fitness, according to his speculation, after drinking all twelve courses, with enough exercise, muscle strength, tolerance and other attributes will be nearly half higher than ordinary people, which is the limit of improvement that a normal human body can bear."
"Don't underestimate this thing, if it weren't for Hagrid's help, with the help of the Potions Master, I would never have been able to get it, and the cost alone would be as high as 100 gold Galleons a bottle, which is 500 pounds when converted into pounds."
"So expensive?" Uncle Vernon was a little surprised, "That's not a small amount of money, Harry. β
"That's the external cost, in fact, the raw material is not worth much to Hagrid, the main material is a drop of unicorn blood, this thing has a price in other places, but in the Forbidden Forest it is just a bundle of alfalfa can be exchanged, the unicorn is very obedient and obedient, at least they are friendly to Hagrid."
"That big giant still has the ability to do this." Uncle Vernon smacked his lips, he seemed to feel that he was underestimating Hagrid's skills, after all, the hunting ground caretaker and key keeper didn't sound like a very powerful position.
"Hagrid is the king of the Forbidden Forest, he can grab a dozen tons of wurm by the tail and play an over-the-shoulder throw, and then press it to the ground to scrap it, and he is probably the only one in the wizarding world who can do this kind of thing."
Hearing the news that popped out of Harry's mouth, the three members of the Dursley family were a little dumbfounded, a guy who could do such a thing.... Is it really an individual? Although Hagrid didn't seem to be a normal person in their eyes, it was too exaggerated.
"I suddenly don't regret not being able to go to the wizarding world, Harry, the normal world is fine."
Dudley, who was a little panicked, swallowed silently, he had already made up some kind of bizarre magical world full of WAAAAYAYAYAYAYAYA shouts, what magic! It's obviously a gladiatorial arena where a group of muscular brothers fight each other!
"I wonder if you've misunderstood something... Never mind. β
Harry grunted, then raised the Christmas present that Jan Dali had given him, "What's this invitation, Dudley?" β
"This one!" Hearing Harry ask about this, Dudley came to his senses, "Didn't you inherit your grandfather's hunting license, and became a full member of the English Hunters' Association, someone in my class talked about it, so I wanted to surprise you!" β
"How boring it would be to stay in the room every day and not go out when I came home at Christmas, I was past the age of playing alien games with my computer, it was too naΓ―ve, and I thought you were too, so I sent you an application, and I asked my dad to go to the Hunters Association to get your information, and then sent it together, but what I didn't expect was that they actually passed."
"Isn't it a surprise, brother!"
Dudley leaned over with a wink, a small expression of smugness written on his face.
"Well done! Dudley! β
"Bang!"
Dudley, who had been slapped on the back by Harry, had slammed the table, and if it weren't for the really good quality of the twenty-centimeter-thick solid wood table, it would definitely not have been able to withstand the toss of the two of them.
Duli, who didn't catch his breath, coughed violently twice, and before he could start scolding and resisting, a big arm grabbed his head.
"Let's go! The weather is so good today, it's a waste of not doing anything, let's go to the gym now, squat ten groups of 200 kilograms to warm up. β
βWTFοΌ I still want to grow taller! Harry, you bastard, let it go! Hey, let go! I'm your big watch.... The neck is going to break, it's broken! β
"The gym is not open for Christmas! No door opens! β
"It's okay, I have the key, just give Uncle William a call."
Dudley, with a black face, changed his clothes under the threat of Harry's kicking and kicking, and the two of them rushed to the familiar gym in a hurry, and spent the first day of Christmas happily under this hot exercise.
But for the Christmas holidays, it's just the starter.
Unlike the rest of Europe, the Soviet Union, the behemoth entrenched in the far north of Eastern Europe, was at odds with the rest of the world below.
Not only because of the difference in social systems, but also because some of the people here can fight too much.
At a time when the big European powers were busy playing English gentlemen and French romances, they still maintained the fine tradition of drying this bottle of vodka and fighting brown bears shirtless, although not all of them were strong men, but seven or eight out of ten people could be called "strong men".
The bitter cold weather has made the people living here have a strong physique, and the high pressure of survival for thousands of years has made those who are weak die under the wheel of history, and the law of natural selection is also very effective for human beings.
When Harry and the Dursleys arrived on a plane, they immediately experienced the difference.
Among his peers, Harry's physique is definitely first-class, although Dudley is a little shorter, but he is also quite an unconventional existence, but the characters he saw along the way really refreshed their worldview, in the sub-zero temperature, shirtless children playing snowball fights abound, they are about the same age as them, and their bodies are not too big, and they even saw a super aunt who carried a tree that was crushed by snow on the road with one hand.
"Maybe Hagrid can find his happiness here?"
Harry, who was silently looking out the window, was complaining, and couldn't help muttering in his head: 'No wonder they haven't disintegrated since 1992, who dares to let them disintegrate?' Let go of millions of guys with arms thicker than thighs to become refugees and move south, just those little weak chickens in Europe, not being hammered to pee their pants? β
Recalling the news that I saw in my last life that 200 Russian fans were slightly drunk and beat 2000 English fans.... Harry felt that the enhanced version of Maozi he had encountered in his life was even more difficult to provoke, but such a terrible per capita physique was indeed a bit of a problem..... To be honest, this is not normal.
As a member of the competition who was officially invited, Harry was naturally well accommodated, and the organizers rented several floors of the hotel as the participants' residences, and if they needed to go out and explore, there was an interpreter on call.
However, the Dursleys and their family could only take a bus to the hotel, as their family members were not within the scope of the organizer's invitation, but they did not mind if they knew about this situation for a long time, and they had already planned the route of the tour before departure.
"I'm going to find the long-legged big sister, you and this group of muscular gorillas go to find a brown bear to wrestle in the snow!"
Smiling sheepishly, Dudley changed into a light coat with a strange style, and before leaving England, Harry received a package from Madame Morkin, and the clothes he had ordered were ready, including the one for his aunt and uncle, and Dudley.
", still looking for a big sister? In addition to the phrase 'Hello comrade', what would you say in the second sentence? β
Harry pouted disdainfully, "With your aunt and uncle watching, you're left to take pictures of them." β
Dudley, who drooped his head, turned around silently, and glanced at Harry with a camera in his arms, the reality was already so cruel, why did he still tell the truth?
After saying goodbye to Dudley and the others, Harry went to the front desk to fill in his registration.
"Is there only one snowy owl for the hunting assistant?"
The big lady at the front desk who was in charge of registration asked with some curiosity, "The scope of the hunting ground is very large, and if you don't bring a hunting dog, it may be a little troublesome." β
Compared to Harry's age, it seems that the staff who organized the hunt were more curious about Harry's thin equipment, and it was not difficult for the Slavs to take out a bear, but it was difficult to find these big creatures in the snow alone.
"Hedwig is my eyes in the sky, and it works better than a hundred hounds."
"You also have hunting equipment rentals here, can you take me there? I need to add equipment, there are so many things that I can't take on a plane, England is too far from here. β
"Absolutely." After being slightly stunned, the young lady with bright eyes put away Harry's registration form, and after greeting her colleagues on duty, she got up a little happily, took Harry's hand and walked out of the hotel.
It seemed that she had been waiting for such an opportunity to go out for a long time, and although there was a heating supply in the hotel, which was countless times warmer than outside, the howling cold wind outside did not have any real effect on her.
The young lady with two long legs of one meter and two even unbuttoned her coat, and in this country, the tradition of fresh milk needs to be kept warm does not seem to exist.
"I'm suffocating in there, and I wouldn't want to come if it weren't for my father's sake."
"My name is Anastasia Mikhaillovna Pavlyuchenko, you can just call me Aya." The level of self-acquaintance of a very talkative young lady is definitely not lower than that of the Weasley twins, plus Mao Mei's appearance and figure are quite capable of playing, it is a pleasure to chat with such a lively person.
"Harry, Harry Potter." Harry wasn't embarrassed, he wanted to know a little bit more, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to him.
"Aya, I have a question that I'm a little curious about, why are underage children allowed to participate in this competition? Could it be that there are quite a few contestants my age? β
"Is there anything wrong with age?" Puzzled, Aya slowed down a bit, then looked at Harry with a hint of confusion, "Although you are only twelve years old, you are not yet old, but you are not far from thirteen." β
"Although there are not many people who continue this custom, there are still some people who follow it, especially those from hunter families."
"On that day, the father will give the child their first shotgun and the first team of hounds as gifts, and all they have to do is go hunting a gray wolf, and when they return home, the mother will make a warm and soft hat from the wolf skin, which symbolizes the child's first step towards adulthood."
"Boys who do this tend to be very popular with girls, and of course, there are girls who participate, but the age is relaxed until the age of fifteen."
"Well, you see, I have one too."
Aya took off her hat and showed her brilliant blonde hair, "My mother sewed it for me when I was fourteen, and if it weren't for my father saying that a hunter who can't drink five bottles of vodka in one meal is not worthy of hunting bears, I would have participated in this competition." β
"Why do you want to drink, I've always disliked the taste, even though I've never been drunk, I still don't like it."
'What kind of devil fighting nation is this?' Harry, who had a big question mark on his head, took Aya's hat in disbelief and looked at it, it was indeed a genuine wolf skin, and the tanning technique was very good, "but it doesn't seem very strange...."
Harry, who suddenly woke up, seemed to understand something, and this world was AΒ· The world built by K. Rowling! It's not a preference, it's a version enhancement!
"But!" After handing back the hat, Harry blurted out with some shock: "Fourteen years old, a person with a shotgun and a hound to hunt gray wolves, sister, are you serious?" β
Harry glanced at the lingering long legs, which were good legs to hang.
"Of course, believe it or not."
Aya, who was a head taller than Harry, leaned down slightly, then grabbed the collar and pulled it down, the rounded arc and astonishing whiteness were unusually dazzling, but in this milky white wave, there were a few lines four or five centimeters long that destroyed this flawlessness.
"I was unlucky enough to provoke a big wolf pack, and I accidentally got a claw, but I wiped the guy's neck with a single sword, and since it's already my hat, I'm not angry with him."
"Let's go Harry, I can finally come out and breathe, can you go shopping with me more?"
"It's so boring to stay at the front desk, and most of the people I meet are also stinky uncles, and they are full of alcohol."
Aya, who didn't see any fierce aura at all, jumped forward, perhaps for them, whether it was fighting with people or fighting with prey, it had become a habitual spice in life.
Harry, who could only follow Aya's wishes, acted as a human cart, and Aya, who was definitely a little rich woman, dragged Harry around the malls in the city center, although there was a sumptuous meal as a reward, but after the end, Harry was still so tired that he stuck out his tongue.
But when he unloaded the large bag and was taken to the hunting gear rental office, Harry's fatigue was instantly swept away.
The wizard's wand that can change with his strength is very handsome, but it cannot be denied that the guns in the Muggle world are useless, and when it comes to practicality and versatility, these energy weapons are even better.
If a wizard of average level faces a heavily armed soldier, if he does not run away or turn on magic protection in the first place, he must be the wizard who dies.
The flight speed of the spell is not comparable to the high-energy pulsed laser beam that flies to the horizon with a single 'boom', and even the slowest plasma weapon with the projectile is basically no room to dodge, and the instantaneous heat of thousands of degrees is enough to melt most of the known matter on the earth, and the biu is a lump of high-temperature lava on the ground.
The Muggle world of electric energy technology has already pointed out a lot of outrageous black technology.
Those magical creatures that have integrated magic into their flesh and have super high resistance may be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of technological weapons, but wizards... Forget it, unless everyone is a half-blood giant like Hagrid, wizards and Muggles will be crushed at the touch of a button on a frontal battlefield where there is no escape.
Harry, on the other hand, was now touching a piece of the Muggle world's technology.
[All equipment and props for this Winter Hunting Contest are sponsored by the glorious Kalashnikov Weapons Factory]
With just one line of words, Harry could already appreciate the level of martial virtue in this hunting competition.
This guy is a military factory, and what he does is a big deal of slaughtering cities and destroying countries, killing people and setting fires, although the world is generally peaceful now, and what is provided here is also the civilian version of hunting that they launched for transformation.
The civilian version of Kemaozi..... In addition to being a single shot, there is a difference between the military version and the fart, which uses disposable high-energy batteries, and pulling the trigger a little faster is not a continuous shot?
Harry was dazzled in an instant!
Most of the light firearms in service can be seen in a reduced version here, such as the ones that Harry can't forget after a glance-
Arca Type 47 Individual Electromagnetic Rifle!
The world's only repeating electromagnetic rifle that can be carried by individual soldiers!
It is known as a peerless weapon of destruction that only real men can master, and a one-way repulsion shield with a thickness of 400 millimeters can be dented with a single shot, not to mention a brown bear, and all elephants have to be crushed by a single shot.
"It's a pity that I can't choose ......"
Harry grunted wistfully.
"This is the prize for the champion, the only collectible Aka-47 in the world with snow camouflage livery, customized by the Kalashnikov company for the champion."
Aya's eyes also sparkled when she saw this gun, but it was not the first time she had seen it, and she was not surprised, she knew very well the attraction of this gun to boys, and her brother cried and shouted that he wanted to participate in the competition, isn't it just to win the championship.
"This time it's a champion! I'm going to decide! β
Harry, who felt that the small universe was beginning to burn, shouted a little second, and the people who heard this couldn't help but cast their eyes, but after seeing that it was a child who was talking, the group of uncles laughed happily, chattering and laughing in various languages that Harry didn't understand, but there was no contempt in the tone, but with a sense of tolerance for children.
"When you get older, maybe you can win the championship, hahaha!"
An Ingrid with a thick accent reached Harry's ears, and a strong man with a height of at least two meters tapped Harry on the shoulder, there was no doubt at all that this guy was definitely a macho man who could wrestle with bears with his bare hands, he was wearing a thick bearskin cloak and a bare furry chest.
"Aya, is this your new boyfriend?" It seems that he is still Aya's acquaintance, and when he turned his head, he made fun of Aya on the side.
"Die!"
A handsome side kick touched the corner of Aya's robe, only to hear a muffled bang, and the big man received this kick firmly.
"Oh, the little girl who sat on my shoulder and cried her nose has grown up."
The giant man of the iron tower, who didn't shake his body, opened his mouth with a smile, and his face was full of amusement.
"If I'm joking any more, I'll let Daddy go to your house for a drink, Uncle Artyom."
"Don't, don't! Don't! β
Artyom, whose face darkened in an instant, immediately relented, as if it were some kind of terrible punishment, and a flattering smile erupted into his rough face.
"Forget it." Aya waved her hand, "Harry, we don't have to deal with him, go pick it out, the weapons provided here can be rented, and the price is very affordable." β
Aya seemed to be familiar with these things, no matter which one Harry asked, she could tell the pros and cons, which also confirmed that she did have a good understanding of hunting.
Harry quickly picked out his gear, and the use of traps of any kind was prohibited, with each hunter participating in the event being allowed to carry a maximum of two high-powered beam-type hunting guns except for his hunting buddies.
Plasma weapons are rarely lightweight, and even if they do, they are not allowed to be used in this hunting competition.
If this thing hits a shot, the bear will be burned to slag, and there will be no corpses, so let's hunt with a hammer.
A Valkyrie III precision marksman rifle and a Makarov accumulator hand cannon have become the weapons that Harry will carry, bear hunting is different from hunting deer and sheep, if this guy with a thick blood bar hits with a small-caliber weapon, as long as it does not hit the vital point, it will only make him more ferocious, large-caliber weapons are a necessity, whether it is Valkyrie or Makarov, they have a penetrating diameter of three centimeters, which is three times the real beggar version of the rechargeable shotgun that Harry used before, but the power cannot be calculated in triple.
Harry was sure that if he had used either of these two swords, he would have been able to bleed the eyelids of the horned camel even if it had closed its eyes!
This is a qualitative change! I can break the skin!
The unreasonable energy resistance of magical creatures is not only magic resistance, but non-magical damage is even more weakened for them, after all, if you compare it with energy levels, the energy level where magic energy is located is far greater than the electricity used today.
With everything in place and the east wind to spare, the start of the winter hunt was two days later, and Harry took advantage of this gap to find a great private shooting range with Aya's help, and use his own hands to familiarize himself with the two good buddies who were about to accompany him for a whole week in the snowfield.
ββββββThe following is not the text.,It's really not.,It's good to watch the pure dialogue brain supplement theaterββββββ
"Harry, help me get a towel."
"Aya, why do you lose everything every day, here you come."
"There is water on the ground, little ....."
"Ouch!"
"I said to be careful, why is it still frizzy, look, my nose is bleeding, I'll help you wipe it."
"No, no, I'll get you a towel again, it's all dirty."
"If it's dirty, use it, don't move, be obedient, and be good."
"I'm not a child....."
"It's not a child anymore."
"Huh?!"
"Bang~"
"Why are you shutting the door?"
"It's windy, it's cold."
"The house is heated on, where will it ....."
"The bathroom is not open, I'm still wet, why can't you stop this nosebleed? Could it be that ...."
"Ahem, cough, cough.... I still go to the balcony to stay in the air, the wind blows and it freezes...... Woo~"
"It's all your fault, the blood is dripping on my body, and it's dirty."
"Then I'm going to be out.... Ahhh Get out ......"
"I hate irresponsible men!"
"Obviously I'm a victim.... Fruit twist.... You don't talk about martial arts .... Yes... cough cough cough ..... Admit defeat, admit defeat.... The neck is going to break... It's broken..."
"Then don't you hurry up and serve Ben...."
"This is what you forced me, the gentleman hides his weapon in his body, and when the time comes, the time has come!"
"Ahh.....h Not bad. β
"It's just okay?!"
"Woo.....oooooo No, no, no.... No more... Woo~"
"Heh~"
