In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"People from Pamo Sports Magic Item Supply Company wrote to complain that our balance has not yet been settled, urging us to send them the remaining galleons quickly now that the game has started."

On the second night after the first competition event officially started, Matthew was in the lounge specially prepared for him by Voldemort in Hogwarts Castle, listening to the assistant next to him reporting to him on the preparations for the competition.

"Let them wait for another two days until the first competition event is completely over. Naturally, it is impossible to default on the balance payment. Also, why have I never heard of this sports magic company before? Normally, the supply of competition items should not be provided by the official Will the Sports Department be responsible?”

Facing Matthew's question, the assistant looked embarrassed, but finally answered.

"As for the competition equipment for the first competition event, it was Mr. Rahman who took the initiative to take over the matter. He said that the Pamo Sports Magic Item Supply Company was opened by his friend and the products provided were of high quality. Assure."

Matthew frowned.

"These Middle Easterners are like this. They want to do business no matter where they are. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"You were not responsible for the procurement of the competition before, sir. Of course, if you need to investigate this information now, I can make preparations now."

"What you need to prepare now is not these, but it is best to remind Rahman early tomorrow morning. If there is any undue problem in the first game event, then he will be waiting for my impeachment in the federation. Bar."

The place Cedric brought Jon to was indeed a remote area at the very edge of the Forbidden Forest.

In front of them, the location of the Ukrainian iron belly happened to be in the direction of the entrance of a valley. If you wanted to enter the valley, you had to pass through the territory of this fire dragon, otherwise you would have to climb the steep rock.

For humans with dexterous limbs, climbing is actually not an impossible task. In addition, wizards can use magic to assist them. As long as they spend some time, they can avoid the fire dragon and climb from the other side of the valley. come out.

But this is not possible for the horse people. Their upper body is undoubtedly that of a human being, but their lower body is completely like a horse. Those four hooves may be able to walk quickly on the flat ground, but if they climb mountains and rocks, it is almost impossible.

"There are three exits like this. Except for this one occupied by an Iron Belly, the other two places are also guarded by another Ukrainian Iron Belly and a Norwegian Ridgeback."

While Jon was observing the terrain, Cedric also told Jon everything he discovered here last night.

"There are only three exits in total, and they all happen to be blocked."

Jon held his chin and looked at the Ukrainian iron belly lying not far away through the moonlight, obviously maintaining a certain degree of doubt about such a coincidence.

But doubts remain doubts, and Jon did not give up agreeing to Cedric's action.

He looked at the iron belly and slowly took out the wand.

"If you want to open this exit, you must at least move the dragon away from where it is now, and then make it incapacitated,"

Cedric looked at the behemoth under the moonlight and swallowed subconsciously.

"Last night, I tried to attract it away from here, and then contacted Firenze and asked him to take the remaining centaurs to escape from the valley, but this dragon seemed very lazy, and my spell had no effect on it. It has no effect at all. If I hit it, it won’t even open its eyes and look at me.”

There was obvious frustration in his tone, but Jon wasn't surprised.

Dragon skin's magic immunity properties are among the best among all magical animals. For example, the manticore with the head of a lion and the body of a manticore that he beat away during the day has always been known for its extremely high magic resistance. Jon's enhanced version of the Divine Blade's Shadowless Blade, which would have smashed ordinary magical animals into pieces, only caused some superficial injuries to it.

As for the fire dragon, especially the Ukrainian Iron Belly, which is the largest among dragons and is best known for its defensive power, its resistance to magic is only stronger than that of the Manticore. Even if Jon ignores the game Later, a referee would use the Flashback Curse on his wand to check the effects of the spells used, and even use the Death Curse directly on the behemoth, but it was unlikely to kill it.

So being tough is not enough, Jon can only find a way to outsmart him.

"You said before that in addition to the two Ukrainian Iron Bellys, there was another entrance occupied by a Norwegian Ridgeback?"

Cedric nodded.

"right."

"Let's go and see the Norwegian Ridgeback."

With Hoth as a means of transportation, they soon arrived at the other side of the valley. There was also a fire dragon lying at the entrance here, but compared with the Ukrainian iron belly, the figure of this Norwegian Ridgeback looked "petite" "a lot of.

The Norwegian Ridgeback is similar in size to the Hungarian Treetoposaurus, and is one of the most violent dragons in the world. However, compared with the Ukrainian Iron Belly, although their size is not small, they are not overly bulky. .

If the target to be solved is determined, Jon feels that this Ridgeback is the best choice.

But even when dealing with the Ridgeback, Jon didn't intend to force himself. This afternoon when he was dealing with other fire dragons to collect the Golden Snitch, he had already experienced how powerful the defenses of these fire dragons were. Ordinary spells would not work on them at all. What effect will it have? The only defensive weakness on fire dragons is their eyes.

As long as the spell can hit their eyeballs, it can avoid the thick dragon skin and let the magic work directly on them.

Therefore, Jon planned to use some tricky methods.

He and Cedric hid behind a tree, then waved their wands.

"Call the gods to protect you."

Silver light gathered around him, and soon a male lion and a little badger quietly appeared in front of him.

Cedric's eyes widened as he watched Jon summon his Patronus. He had heard many rumors about Jon in Hogwarts Castle.

Some people say that he is Dumbledore's number one criminal, and his favorite thing is to kill wizard students with blood and then use their skulls as collections.

Some people also say that Jon Green has a habit of killing people using the Unforgivable Curse. If he doesn't kill someone with the Unforgivable Curse for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

What's more, it is said that he is actually an adult wizard who uses polyjuice potion to pretend to be a child all the time. In fact, he is Dumbledore's tool for pretense.

Not everyone in Hogwarts Castle has his own independent way of thinking like Cedric. In private, he rarely reads news from the Daily Prophet. Instead, he collects newspapers from other magical societies in Europe and learns about different things. Less different from British speech.

Cedric knew that Jon was not as sinister as the rumors said. The summons of these two Patronuses alone could prove his character, because no dark wizard could successfully learn the Patronus Charm. In the entire Hogwarts Castle, According to his guess, none of the professors can use it.

But these two patron saints still gave Cedric a great shock. Not only was it unheard of to summon two patron saints at the same time, but more importantly, he knew the history of Hogwarts and knew very well about lions. and what the badgers represent to this school.

Jon also noticed his shocked expression, but didn't really care.

Because even during the holidays, when Dumbledore saw his two patron saints for the first time, the expression he showed was basically the same.

The patron saint will change according to the heart of the caster. This not only means that everyone's patron saint is not static, but also effectively illustrates that the animal form summoned by this spell directly expresses the wizard's heart. of myself.

Lions and badgers represented two valuable qualities in the past branches of Hogwarts.

And Jon's patron saint is obviously special, not just because there are two of them, but the key is that the lion and badger can directly affect reality, just like two real animals.

Although Dumbledore developed the Patronus Charm in depth and allowed the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix to learn how to use the Patronus to convey messages on their own behalf, these were only accomplished later by improving the spells and magic itself.

Jon's patron saint had these distinctive features when he was first summoned, which was a bit unusual.

But even as knowledgeable as Dumbledore, he has not studied why Jon's Patronus has these special features. He can only confirm that such changes are definitely not a bad thing for Jon. At least his Patronus Charm can It has been used in more places, such as helping him capture most of the Death Eaters in the Arctic.

Now, these two patron saints can also bring more help to Jon.

After being summoned, the lion and badger rushed towards the Norwegian Ridgeback separately without any need for Jon to communicate with them verbally.

Their bodies glow with a soft silver light at night, and as soon as they rush out from behind the tree, they are noticed by the Ridgeback, which is always vigilant even during rest time.

"Roar!"

It roared and climbed up from the ground, and the surrounding land trembled. In front of such a huge creature, Jon's two patron saints looked very dwarfed.

There are dozens of golden snitches surrounding the Ridgeback, fluttering their alchemical wings and flying around it at a speed that is elusive to the naked eye.

Jon patted Hoss, whose body trembled suddenly under the dragon's roar, and he subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide first.

"Don't be afraid. I'll hold this dragon in check. You take Cedric and rush into the valley to find those centaurs. At least contact them first."

Hoss turned to look at Cedric and couldn't help snoring. His big eyes clearly showed disgust, and his body, which was several times larger than Jon's, actually leaned closer to him.

This made Jon slap its bald head hard.

"You are so disgusted with me! Don't blame me for not reminding you. Almost all the centaurs hiding in this valley are only mares. It's the time when they need to increase their efforts to reproduce. Maybe you can be like a hero. When you appear, which beautiful little mare has taken a fancy to you?"

Hearing Jon's seductive words, Hoss's eyes suddenly lit up. His powerful fantasy ability had already made him think about whether the future and the little mare's child would have the head of a horse or the body of a centaur.

Cedric, on the other hand, looked at Hoss who suddenly became active and restless in a daze. Before, he only thought that this pegasus just looked a little unique, but he didn't expect that it was also so fancy.

Before he could recover, Jon had already started urging Cedric to ride on Hoss's back.

"You go find those centaurs first, and I will follow them soon."

Cedric didn't think about the issue of abandonment or not at this moment. He knew very clearly that he wouldn't be able to provide much help to Jon here, and might actually hinder him.

"I will find Firenze and ask them to help you."

He was riding on Hoth's back. Before he could finish his words, Jon waved his wand and slapped Hoth's horse's butt, causing it to turn into a gust of wind, both man and horse, heading towards the two guardians. The ridged dragon was entangled by the god and rushed towards him.

As long as Hoth's racial talent can run, nothing can stand in its way. Almost in the blink of an eye, it surpassed the Norwegian Ridgeback and rushed in with Cedric. In the valley.

At this time, Jon also came out from behind the tree and looked at the fire dragon that was entangled by the lion and badger.

For dragons that are already at the top of the food chain, even if the patron saint summoned by Jon has the strength and aggressiveness of a normal animal, it will be difficult to cause any effective damage to it.

But the patron saint itself is not a real creature. Even if Jon's patron saint can cause physical damage, in the end they are still magic composed of two magic powers.

No matter how the Norwegian Ridgeback tried to tear them apart with its claws, or breathed out its dragon breath to roast them, it never achieved any results.

Even lions and badgers couldn't do much effective damage to it, but they still made it feel as disgusting as two flies that couldn't be killed.

Just when its attention was completely attracted by the two patron saints, Jon aimed at the Ridgeback's eyes and raised the wand in his hand!

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Instead of using a linear attack spell, Jon directly used the blasting spell with the fastest casting speed!

A huge explosion sounded directly around the Ridgeback's eyes, and its extremely fast reaction speed allowed it to close its eyelids the moment the explosion occurred. As the weakest defense part of the body, even if it closed its eyelids, it would The magic still caused damage to it.
