Hogwarts: Fusion of all things multiplied by ten thousand

Chapter 56: Sword Fighting.

In case something goes wrong and he is arrested by Dumbledore himself, that would be a disaster.

In addition to Quirrell, no one else in the school would use the Unforgivable Curse, so as long as he didn't run into Quirrell, he would probably be safe.

"Have you heard that someone has seen that big spider in the basement recently?"

At lunch time, Ron told them the gossip he had heard.

"I heard from Hagrid that the big spider is a dangerous magical animal called an acromantula! Do you think Snape put it in here to divert the professors' attention?"

Harry guessed as soon as he heard it.

Hope couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly, feeling that Harry's recent Snape suspicion syndrome has become more serious.

This acromantula was naturally disguised by him, just to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so that Snape would not be too idle recently and always come to the hall to eat on time, and he would not find a chance to play a prank.

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday again. Harry and his friends walked out of the classroom with tired faces and walked towards the hall.

There were two full potion classes in the morning. Snape, who had not found the acromantula recently and had been working overtime, became more and more gloomy, and almost released all his passion on Harry.

And those who were close to Harry were inevitably affected. In short, after this class, Hope still felt that Snape's voice was still lingering in his ears.

"I'm going to ask Hagrid about the Acromantula this afternoon. Hope, do you want to come with me?"

After dinner, Harry and the other two invited Hope.

But Hope refused directly. He might as well go swimming with this time, and he has recently become fascinated with flying swords.

""Okay."

Harry was helpless. He could see that Hope was not interested in catching Snape in the conspiracy, so he could only go with Ron and Hermione.

When Hope Apparated to the United College, it was already completely dark.

But the Sword Tower was unusually lively because it was Friday night, a holiday like Hope, and it was more lively than usual.

As soon as he arrived, he heard that there was a game tonight, and the venue was directly reserved by the five major families, but there was no restriction on others to watch.

Everyone was naturally happy to see the dog-eat-dog behavior of the five giants, and they surrounded the stone tower early.

Some people couldn't get a seat, so they could only watch in the air with peach wood swords.

Around the stone tower, there were some searchlights, which seemed to have been transformed by magic, making the venue very bright, driving away all the darkness inside and outside.

Hope wore He was wearing a grey gown and sitting diagonally on a peach wood sword, with half of his buttocks touching the sword, his right foot raised and stepping on the wooden handle, looking up like everyone else.

In the center of the stone tower, no one else was allowed to enter. There were several chairs in each of the five directions, where sat the leaders of the five great families in the academy, usually people from the main lineage.

He saw Huo Bufan among them, but although he was also sitting on a large sofa, he seemed to be squeezed to the edge. A man who looked older was sitting among the group of Huo's children.

Of course, Hope was not interested in the affairs of these wealthy families. He looked at the stone tower. The stone tower was a little different tonight. There was an extra square stone pillar in the stone tower. There were holes on the pillar. Although it was a stone pillar, it actually looked more like a pile of square stones.

Listening to the people next to him People say that this stone pillar is actually a magic arrow tower. It can sense people shooting stone arrows at it. If you don’t dodge in time, you may be knocked out of the stone tower and eliminated directly.

Hope’s eyes flashed with excitement. This way of playing is more exciting. As expected, these wealthy families are the best at this kind of play.

The game started soon. Hope watched with great interest and cheered loudly like everyone else.

However, just as the game started, the stone tower suddenly vibrated and scattered large amounts of dust, but the others were not surprised at all, as if they were accustomed to such things.

As the stone tower vibrated, the space seemed to change a lot. Hope suddenly realized that it was actually changing the map!

Not only that, Hope saw another interesting scene. This was not a single-player competition, but a two-person competition.

It’s just that one person from One person enters from the lower entrance, and the other person enters from the upper exit. This means that unless the two are eliminated in advance, they will definitely meet, and such a meeting does not prohibit attacking.

In other words, this is not just a competition of speed. If you can't outrun the opponent, you can also compete in magic in the middle of the race to eliminate the opponent in advance.

Just listening to the rules, he was a little excited. No wonder so many people gathered here. He felt a little itchy in his heart, and he wanted to go up and play.

Soon, two people from the five major families came out, one up and one down. At the moment when the ancient bell rang, the two of them suddenly rushed into the passage with swords.

When it comes to the face of the wealthy families, those who can be sent out are all strong and very fast.

At this moment, the magic arrow tower is also rotating the stone pillar. It is indeed made of blocks. The dense holes are facing the front of the figure, and stone arrows are shot out quickly.

The students inside have to pass quickly and dodge the stone arrows from time to time.

The upper and lower people all escaped thrillingly, and their speeds are comparable. Soon they met in the passage in the middle of the stone tower.

Both of them tacitly grasped the fans at their waists in advance. When they met, one of them read out the spell loudly, but the other did not cast the spell immediately. Instead, he quickly dodged the spell shot by the other in this narrow passage.

The moment he dodged, he also cast a spell to fight back.

""Flying sand and rocks!"

A blue flame shot out from the top of the fan and hit the student who had no time to dodge.

The next moment, the student was knocked out directly, and blood could even be seen spilling in the air. His figure flew into the stone tower, but was hit by the stone arrows that shot out. Instead, he was bounced back again, hit the wall, and fell downwards.

Hope was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so big. This spell might be used directly in a duel, but looking at the reactions of the people around him, they didn't seem to care. Instead, they cheered for this wonderful duel.

The man who fell fell directly to the ground, but he didn't fall to pieces. Instead, he sank into the ground. The ground was like a wall, and was cast with magic.

But even so, the spell just now was not fake.

Winning the duel The man continued to fly forward with his sword, but Hope found that the speed of the stone arrows ejected from the stone tower seemed to be getting faster and faster!

The man dodged with great difficulty, but was hit directly by a stone arrow during a reckless advance. He flew out of the hollow wall from the passage and fell to the ground.

Neither of them finished the game, which meant that this game was a draw.

And the stone arrow did not have much attack power, but it would generate a flexible and huge force at the moment of hitting the target, which could both bounce people away and not hurt the students.

As the game ended, the ancient bell rang, and then someone ran into the stone tower and carried the man inside out. It could be seen that the man who was hit by the spell was covered in blood and seemed to have suffered considerable injuries.

The game soon continued, and Huo Xi discovered that this game The difficulty is indeed very high. The duel in the middle is not the point. Instead, as you get closer to the finish line, the stone arrows shot out from the stone tower are not only faster, but also more in number.

If you want to win the game, you must not only not stop to avoid the stone arrows, but also keep accelerating. Otherwise, once you stop, you will be focused on, and the starting acceleration of flying the sword again cannot avoid the speed of the stone arrows.

After several groups, no one won.

Hope saw that the Huo family's side door disciple who had been buried alive by him before also went on the field, but the result was very bad. He lost the duel in the middle and was carried to the school hospital by Huo Bufan's other two younger brothers.

Hope's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this. He felt his blood boiling just by watching. It must be more exciting to play on the field himself!

He is not a novice. These days he has been He would come here to play after dinner at Hogwarts. It was already early in the morning at that time, and the entire stone tower was empty, which allowed him to have a lot of fun.

Although there was no light source at night for fear of attracting the security guards of the academy, his ability to dig soil and stones gave him a natural sensitivity to stones. Even without lights, he could sense all the structures of the stone tower, and he could walk through them with his eyes closed.

He glanced at the direction where Huo Bufan's two younger brothers left, and then controlled the peach wood sword to fall downwards.

When he appeared again, he had transformed into the appearance of one of Huo Bufan's younger brothers, squeezed through the crowd outside, successfully entered the inner circle, and came to Huo Bufan's side. Huo Bufan just glanced at him, did not find anything unusual, and continued to look at the stone tower

"Humph, they are all trash!"

The man sitting next to Huo Bufan saw his younger brother falling from the stone tower, and he snorted coldly and cursed unhappily.

Huo Xi heard Huo Bufan's address and probably knew that this was Huo Bufan's third brother.

""Fifth brother, why don't you fight in person? I heard that even my eldest brother praised your sword-controlling skills, saying that you inherited your father's true teachings. Now, whether we can save the reputation of our Huo family and stand out among the five major families depends on you!"

The man turned to look at Huo Bufan, changed his previous look, and said with a smile. It seemed like a proposal, but in fact, he would not allow him to refuse at all.

""Okay, Third Brother!"

Huo Bufan agreed expressionlessly.

Hope looked at the stone tower and blinked. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the internal fighting of this wealthy family was even more fierce. It was obvious that he would be embarrassed if he went up.

He just looked around. At least no one from the main lineage came to the field in person. It would be good if they won, but it would be embarrassing if they lost.

But when he thought about it, these people were just half-brothers. It was normal that their relationship was not very good.

Soon it was Huo Bufan's turn to go on stage. He stood up and attracted everyone's attention at once. No one expected Huo Bufan to go on stage in person. He stepped on the peach wood sword, jumped up, and slowly floated towards the entrance.

It seemed that because of Huo Bufan's appearance , the other person who was supposed to play was directly replaced by another person. Before he went on the court, he was even lectured by a direct descendant of the main line, as if he was told something. When he went on the court, it could be seen that the man was staring at Huo Bufan with malicious eyes.

Huo Xi shook his head slightly. It seemed that the rich family was really surrounded by enemies. It would be more comfortable to stay in Hogwarts.

Feeling a little tired of standing, Hope raised his buttocks and sat on the armrest of Huo Bufan's sofa, which immediately attracted the attention of Huo Bufan's third brother. He frowned and seemed to want to say something, but Hope looked at him and smiled widely...

The man immediately snorted coldly, and finally He didn't say anything in the end, and continued to look at the stone tower.

The game started quickly. Huo Bufan was indeed very good at it, with an extremely fast speed, which was very handy. However, the other person was also not slow. Compared with the previous people, the strength of these two people could be considered to be at the forefront.

But Hope could see that Huo Bufan's speed was still slightly slower than the other person, and this little bit was very critical.

With the speed of the two, they would inevitably meet in the middle of the stone tower, but the faster they were, the sooner they would enter the area that was obviously different from other sections. That area was longer than the previous section, and it seemed to be specially used for duels.

Entering this area early would be more advantageous for the duel.

Of course, one party could also Deliberately going slow and waiting for the rabbit in the advantageous passage is a bit of cheating, which can be said to be harmful to others and yourself, because the longer it takes to pass through the entire passage, the stronger the magic arrow tower will be.

So far, even if the speed is reached to the extreme and every second counts, it will still fail in the last section, let alone this kind of waiting.

Although this kind of cheating behavior can bring some advantages to the side in this occasion, with so many spectators outside, it will undoubtedly be booed and lose face for the family.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. Huo Bufan's opponent actually stopped on his own initiative, hid behind a stone pillar to avoid the stone arrows shot from the arrow tower, while holding the wooden fan at his waist.

""Shh!"

The audience outside saw this scene and screamed. Even the main lineage looked outside with cold eyes, but still couldn't stop the booing.

Hope narrowed his eyes. If Huo Bufan stopped, he would basically not be able to get out of the passage.

But if he forced his way in, he would probably suffer a loss, and it would be even more embarrassing to lose in the duel.

When he was about to get close, Huo Bufan had already grasped the fan, and his speed did not slow down at all, as if he really wanted to force his way through.

When he broke into the passage where his opponent was, a spell had already been prepared and attacked him.

Everyone held their breath and watched this scene, but something unexpected happened.

The spell that was about to hit Huo Bufan was suddenly bounced back, and a glowing invisible wall could be seen in front of Huo Bufan.

The spell bounced back and hit the man, knocking him out directly, and flew heavily out of the stone tower

""Woo!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this, even Hope was the same. At some point, Huo Bufan actually cast an armor spell on himself. Because of this armor spell, he didn't even stop, nor did he cast any spells, and rushed forward with a fearless attitude.

No one expected that this fourth-year wizard had mastered such an advanced spell as the armor spell.

""Hmph!"

Huo Xi heard a cold snort from the side, obviously very dissatisfied with such a situation.

But even so, he was still hit by a stone arrow in the last section of the journey, but he was also the person closest to the exit so far in the competition. Although he failed, he still received cheers and applause from many people. Relatively speaking, the faces of the families where Huo Bufan's opponents were located turned black at this moment. This wave was undoubtedly a blood loss.

I thought that even if I lost face, it would be a profit if Huo Bufan was embarrassed and injured. Who would have thought that he would not only lose face, but also let Huo Bufan achieve such a result. How could he be happy.

Huo Bufan came back here with a smile on his face. When he saw Hope sitting on the side of the sofa, he was slightly stunned, but did not say anything.

With the end of this game, the next one will come.

They do not have a fixed order and opponents. It depends on who wants to play, especially the two parties with conflicts. If one party sends people, the other party will mostly send people.

""Let me try!"

Hope volunteered. He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to see if he could run down the mountain.

Huo Bufan looked at Hope, who was dressed as his younger brother, with a little surprise. He remembered that the other party was not good at this kind of sports, but he didn't stop him and said casually,"Okay."

Huo Xi then walked out with an expectant look on his face, took out a small sword from his long gown, threw it casually, and the peach wood sword suddenly became larger and floated on the ground.

He jumped lightly and landed steadily on the peach wood sword. Although no one applauded, he felt very handsome.

"Humph, you really spend a lot of money on your little brother."

The third brother frowned and said in a sarcastic tone.

You know, ordinary peach wood swords are not cheap for ordinary families, which is equivalent to a car for ordinary people.

And Hope's peach wood sword with the shrinking spell is made of superior materials, and its speed is much faster than that of ordinary peach wood swords, which is equivalent to a luxury car.

As a wealthy family, they are indeed rich, but they are just students at present, and they can't have much money.

In the eyes of others, this is already too much money to spend, and they actually bought a luxury car for their little brother. It would make people laugh to death if they told others about it.

Huo Bufan's face also changed slightly. Where did his little brother get the money to buy a luxury version of peach wood sword? Even if he bought it for his"uncle" before, he was reluctant to spend almost half of his pocket money.

As Hope walked out, the clan before saw this and thought that Hope was Huo Bufan's confidant. Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity for revenge and sent someone out.
