Chapter 36: The First Battle
From afar, Muen saw the lights of Loland, the village square filled with figures, and the huge bonfires rolled with smoke drifting towards the sky.
In addition, Mu En also noticed many dragons, and at a cursory glance, there were about a dozen.
The village of Lolande is independent and does not have many commercial attributes, which is completely different from Hogsmeade. It usually makes a living by supplying unique magical artifacts to other wizard shops, as well as cooperating with dragon farms.
At the same time, there are many non-spellcasters in the village, who will choose to go to distant ordinary towns to receive education and settle in the world of ordinary people.
Of course, most Lolanders still choose the life of wizards, even if they are not all spellcasters.
"We also have an agreement with the Norwegian Ministry of Magic to take care of wizarding security in this area." Evan also explains:
"You know, the world is big and there are very few wizards. Especially in a place like Norway, which is sparsely populated and on the edge of the world, it is easy to breed dark wizards.
We don't want our homeland to become a lawless place like Romania. ”
The Romanian forest is notorious in the wizarding world, and werewolves of all kinds of blood gather there to haunt them.
Landing in the village, the crowd hurriedly gathered around, and Muen noticed that there was another group of Viking warriors, who were much younger, apparently young people returning home for Christmas.
After Evan's troops chased them out of the village, they were responsible for maintaining the security of the village.
Evan then introduced Muen to the people in the village, followed by an overwhelming wave of thanks.
It wasn't until everything was said that Muen remembered Harry and Kerry.
"What about the two boys?" Mu En looked at the pile of people and quickly found the two of them.
At this time, Kerry was warming up by the campfire, and at the same time asked Harry curiously, "Have you ever duel?" ”
Harry shook his head, "I've only read it from books, you need a dueling assistant, right?" ”
"That's a wizard who thinks he's superior." Kerry shook his head and stretched, "Vikings, just need to fight." ”
"I'm looking forward to it." Harry nodded.
Evan also noticed the two sabre-rattling boys, and immediately stood up and came to the campfire. The rest of the crowd also knew about Kerry's challenge to the wizard child, and for a while, their eyes were focused on the two of them.
"Come on, wizard boy, teach Kerry a lesson!"
"Kerry, don't lose the face of the Vikings, hold on a little longer."
There were all kinds of shouts of help, and of course, most of them were thinking about Harry, after all, he was the challenged and the guest.
"Kerry Evenson! Are you sure you want to..."
"Pete Jones." Harry added.
"Are you going to duel Pete Jones?" Evan looked at Kerry seriously: "Whether it is injured or dead, after the duel, you can't hold grudges and be jealous. ”
Kerry spun the axe in his hand, "Hurry up, Dad, I can't wait." ”
Evan smiled, picked up a flaming torch from the campfire, spun around Kerry and Harry, and stood between them.
The surrounding Viking warriors gathered in a circle, shouting war songs that Mu En couldn't quite understand. It was so powerful that Harry felt like his blood was boiling.
"When the torch falls, the duel begins!" Evan stood at the edge of the crowd and raised his torch.
After making sure both men were ready to go, he threw the torch high into the air between the two men.
Harry was nervous, it was the first time he had fought with a real gun.
But he wasn't afraid.
I saw that the torch dragged a tail flame in the air with the flames, and then—boom!
"Legs stiffen—" Harry cast his spell, and a white light flew towards Kerry.
Seeing that it was about to hit, Kerry's dragon leaned sideways to block the spell, the dragon scale's magic resistance was extremely high, and Harry's magic spell had no effect on it at all.
At the same time, the dragon's tail curled, and Kerry was placed on the saddle on his back.
Harry saw that he couldn't do a single blow, and behind him, the meteor flew straight towards Kerry. Harry grabbed the broomstick and didn't rush to get on it, but went straight for Kerry.
Mu En was a little surprised, is this kid's proficiency in flying already so high?!
Unfortunately, Kerry and his dragon were clearly more experienced, and as they flew up quickly to avoid Harry's attack, the dragon's tail swept hard. Harry dodged quickly, his arm still stumbling hard.
Harry then flew high into the sky as well.
"Isn't that a little unfair?!" Evan was a little worried, and then hurriedly added: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that Kerry and Bart have been together since birth, and Bart is not like a broomstick." ”
Mu En shook his head nonchalantly: "It's fair." Of course... The premise is that he has actually learned. ”
"He must be in the first grade." Evan was a little worried: "How much magic can I learn in the first grade." ”
"No, he's not enrolled yet." Mu En said: "More important than the so-called magic is the idea of combat.
Because of the characteristics of wizards' long-range spellcasting, many people mistakenly equate wizards with archers. But in fact, the real strength of wizard combat is - unpredictable.
As long as he can have a flexible fighting mind, he will have a chance to win. ”
"Really?!" Evan had a thoughtful look on his face, for this group of people, you say that they don't necessarily care about mathematics, physics and chemistry, if you want to say how to fight and how to fight, they must be willing to use their brains.
"Most of the wizards I've met have only wands wielded."
"It's the wrong way to fight." Mu En nodded calmly and looked at the battle above.
Kerry and Harry didn't fly too high. At this point, the two were keeping their distance, and it was clear that Harry wanted to use the wizard's unique advantage to fight.
Then he saw Kerry remove a bow from the saddle. He was very skillful at bending his bow and arrows, but in the blink of an eye the arrows were aimed at him.
He dodged in a hurry, then raised his hand to Kerry.
"Hurry up and be imprisoned!"
A spell flew towards Kerry at great speed, still being resisted by Kerry's Lombart.
"The flames are blazing!"
"The flames are blazing!"
"Legs stiffen and die!"
Arrows and spells flew at each other, and Kerry would use the arrows to attack Harry when he was dodging.
After a moment, he noticed Harry's grimace. He shouted: "Hand-to-hand combat with me may be your only chance." Dragon's scale armor is still too difficult for you right now. ”
With that, he bent his bow again. Harry took the opportunity to sit quickly.
"It's finally here!" Harry had excitement in his eyes as he leaned over the broomstick, fingers moving slightly.
"The flames are blazing—"
The chanting of the incantation may have been muffled by the wind, but the mouth movements were precisely captured by Kerry, and his spirit was all gathered on Harry, staring directly at him.
However, Harry didn't let anything out of his hands.
When he reacted, he saw the flames burning in the cloth bag behind him.
"Little trick!" Kerry kicked his foot, and the flaming cloth bag fell quickly to the ground.
However, after a moment of distraction, when he returned, he saw Harry flying his blue steel sword straight at him.
"Grow faster!"
In an instant, the long sword suddenly grew larger, a head taller than a human, and flew towards him at such a high speed.
By the time Kerry narrowly avoided the sword, Harry was gone.
Underground, the crowd of onlookers let out a burst of exclamation.
Just as Kerry was about to fall to the ground, a figure in the sky swooped down, grabbed the bag, and then dangerously raised sand and dust on the ground, and then flew up again.
At that time, he seemed to be no more than a foot off the ground.
Harry reached into the burning cloth bag and, unheeded by the pain, drew his wand!
It was the same wand Kerry had gotten from the goblin earlier.
"I'm not a sorcerer who can only make waves." He said slowly, then aimed his wand at Kerry.
