Chapter 265: Take Arkham's Joker to Meet the Bat.... Belch... Snape!
Perhaps this is the last glory of the Arkham School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, even if it no longer exists in this world, but the students who can come out of it have brought this vanished school of magic back into the eyes of the people.
And it wasn't known in a small corner of Europe, but in the general arena of the young wizards' dueling tournament, which was broadcast live and sat in tens of thousands of viewers.
Although the knockout rounds are not too much of a hit, people are more concerned about the real final that starts tomorrow, because at that time, the remaining twelve are the most talented and top talents of our time.
But the scarlet performance that appeared in front of them at this moment, the struggle with all his might, has made this clown who looks a little laughable, deeply remembered.
On the shattered scarlet carpet, a gorgeous, treacherous, crazy show that makes people tremble and laugh at the same time is about to come to an end.
Arthur's new ability, which seems to be quite different from the new ability of the Animagus in human form, when he did not complete the second stage of the Animagus transformation, and did not use an item with magical abilities such as the Philosopher's Stone, Arthur's clown form actually retained all the spell-casting abilities, and also had some quite surprising special abilities.
He creates invisible threads that can be used to move quickly through the air, or to be used as ropes to tie people up, or to interfere with or even control people's bodies, turning them into puppets like marionettes.
The magic doubles make it impossible to tell whether the clown who is giving them a funny laugh is real or fake, and after popping the balloon-like double, you'll be greeted by a shattered ribbon or a bomb that has already been ignited.
The exquisite illusion charm seems to be integrated into the clown's body, and if he does not observe carefully, or has eyes that can peek into reality, people can often only be in his elusive play, and become a toy for him to play with in this performance.
But when facing a monster whose sharp blade can't pierce the skin, whose face doesn't move against the spell, whose eyes can see through the magic and invisibility, and whose strength is so strong that even if the silk thread breaks, it won't break a finger of his monster.
Harry's greatest kindness was to let him perform his own gorgeous performance, and let him show his most dazzling and brilliant side in front of people without reservation.
But the final victory, sorry, is not something to be given up.
"I've done my best."
Arthur Phoenix appeared in front of Harry again, his breath no longer steady, the sweat running down his forehead did not blur his makeup, perhaps it was not his face makeup, but the appearance of the Joker himself.
"Whew~" There was a hint of exhaustion and relief in a long exhalation, and the corners of his mouth that were still raised were not funny smiles at the moment, but a trace of contented relaxation.
"But I'm sorry, I'm not a qualified viewer."
"But you're my best gig buddy, friend." Arthur bowed to Harry with a somewhat pompous bow, "It's my lack of strength that didn't make you laugh, but the audience outside should have seen it!" ”
He looked up at the stands in all directions, and after retracting his gaze, he spoke again: "My dream is to perform on a shining stage, and I don't want to be a clown who rots in a dark corner after being expelled from the circus, even if I can't make people laugh, I know my jokes are cold." ”
"But now, I have everything I want, and I can't surprise anyone, but it's good to be scared."
Arthur turned to look at the referee, then raised his right hand and said with a smile, "I admit defeat." ”
It wasn't a fair matchup from start to finish, but you're never born to have a fair start, let alone a game.
After Arthur opted to throw in the towel, the referee called the end of the match, but Harry stopped him as he stepped down.
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
To be honest, Arthur's performance is not bad, compared to other players from the European region, his strength can almost be said to be second only to Harry, especially after mastering the transformation of the humanoid clown Animagus, changing a normal opponent is only the ending played by him, the treacherous metamorphosis field, the inscrutable alternation of real and false bodies, and the superb illusion technique that can disappear in front of you at any time, with the dagger gun wand hidden in the rain of elusive daggers, his performance in battle is weird and deadly.
"Which circus might I get an invitation to?" Arthur, after taking off his clown costume, suddenly lost his hysterical madness and became a slightly wooden youth, "Maybe I'm a little famous now?" He opened his mouth uncertainly, and his heart was also a little apprehensive.
"But maybe you're better suited to another place."
"Where?" He asked, curiously.
"Dancing on the tip of a knife, walking in the shadows of death and shadows, there may not be an audience cheering for you, but there you can earn affirmation and respect, and the true glory of being a warrior."
"The battlefield of the abyss, where I will soon be going, with my comrades."
"I know there." Arthur straightened his face and nodded, "My teacher once told me about that place, but my teacher hasn't been there, and I haven't had a chance to go there. ”
"I heard that going there was a vetting process, and I didn't even know where to sign up, and I just left school so poor that I couldn't get a single Galleon out of my body, and I knew it was a place where I could work hard to make money, and I wanted to go there."
"This question. I don't know. ”
It was the first time Harry had heard that there was such a threshold, and that almost all of Hogwarts' best graduates would go to the Abyss Battlefield, and the Weasley twins' brother Charlie had gone there after graduating, and had joined a special group, perhaps he had actually become a dragon knight now.
"You're from Hogwarts, so you certainly don't need to worry about these things." Arthur shrugged, "But my teacher and I both came from a small magic school that had gone bankrupt and closed down. ”
"Then come with me to Hogwarts, you need to make up for it, don't you? While I can't pinpoint your mistakes in the Circle, I can sense that if you learn more about spells, you'll do better than you do now. ”
"My charms teacher, Professor Fellius Flitwick, is in the resting area, and he should welcome you, and of course, Professor McGonagall, who taught me Transfiguration, would definitely talk to you about your Transfiguration if she was there, after all, it's special, isn't it?"
Hoping that Arthur can become stronger and go further on the path of magic is indeed Harry's thoughts, after all, the two of them are also friends who have drunk, and Harry has a good opinion of Arthur.
But he actually has a little bad taste in his heart, a clown who walked out of Arkham and met his godfather. Will something very exciting happen?
While the Joker isn't a Joker and Snape isn't Batman, it always feels like it's going to be fun.
"This," Arthur hesitated, "is this okay?" ”
"Of course there is no problem."
