Connor's Hogwarts

"Ha, a lot has happened this year."

Hogsmeade Village, Lake Experience Store branch.

Even today, the Lake Experience Store was overcrowded, but no one bothered the two "strong men" sitting at the window sill on the second floor.

Their faces are unknown to everyone in England, because they are the two "kings" who represented England in the Monster Cup finals. They are the real protagonists of this game.

"A lot of things have indeed happened. I didn't expect that we would reach this point." The handsome blond man responded with a smile.

Who is this man? He is Dio, Dio Joestar, the overall champion of the Diagon Alley Lake Flagship Store in the Pokemon England Division.

Tonight, he will represent England in the first monster card showdown after the opening ceremony.

This first Global Yokai Cup competition will last for two weeks. Yokai card masters from various regions around the world will come here to compete at the top, and the real battle will be finalized in two weeks.

Although the game hasn't started yet, Dior feels that he is already extremely high.

Of course, someone who shares the same feelings with Dior is his close friend Jonathan Brando, who is the overall champion of the Hogsmod Lake Tavern in the English division.

The number of Pokémon finalists is determined based on the number of Lake Experience Store branches. Each branch will determine a participating place. Now, 28 Pokémon masters from 28 branches around the world have gathered in England to find out who is the real "King of Pokémon" "We don't have an answer to this question yet.

"Tonight, you are playing for the first time. Your opponent is the titled Giorno Bucciarati. Are you confident?"

Giorno Bucciarati, the winner of the Golden Pavilion of the Italian Lake branch, is very good at using the Time Dragon deck. He is a powerful player called a devil, but I know the details of that kid. I was wreaking havoc in the Italian wizarding world. At that time, that kid was just a little hooligan. I didn’t expect that he would now become an international superstar with the help of the Monster Cup.

Dio smiled contemptuously, with strong confidence in his tone: "Have you forgotten that a year ago, I was the master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion in Italy, and that boy was my subordinate. His time flow style was still taught by me. See I don’t even know if he has the courage to draw cards. Do you think I won’t have the confidence?”

Jonathan clapped his hands and responded with a smile: "Of course I believe in you. I also hope to compete with you in the final arena. Don't fall down midway, dio."

"You'd better worry more about yourself. I've decided on the Monster Cup."

They both looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The chance meeting a year ago allowed Dio and Jonathan to settle down and their friendship was rekindled. Dio gave up the job arranged by his family in Italy and returned to England, planning to find an easy job in the Legal Department of the Ministry of Magic. dawdle

But the holding of the Yokai Cup disrupted his plan. As a former senior chess and card player, Dio's card skills are top-notch. The most important thing is that he loves Yokai cards. This time he will compete with all the heroes in the Yokai Cup. He will not let go of the opportunity.

It is only a piece of cake for Dior to pass the competition and qualify for the finals.

Nowadays, Diaw, as the only contestant from England, is in the limelight for a while. Even the old man in his family doesn't say anything more. And tonight he is the first preliminary contestant after the opening ceremony.

Dior feels like I’m really high.

"Let's go, it's getting late, it's time for us to report to the stadium."

Jonathan stood up, and Dio was also very ambitious. They were going to conquer the stars and the sea.

As the two walked past, pedestrians gave way, and fans were also shocked by their momentum. Although they were excited, they did not dare to step forward. No one dared to step forward to block Dio's path forward.

Then, while the two were walking, they were suddenly blocked by a large group of people.

The road ahead was blocked, and both of them were a little depressed.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered here?" Dio frowned.

"It seems to be a shop. Well, it sells magic scrolls. I remember last week there was big news in Lake's house, saying that it would postpone the sale. Why are they starting to sell it now?" Jonathan saw the eye-catching advertisement on the lintel of the shop.

"Oh, obviously, this is not from the Lake family. If it is from the Lake family, why is it no longer available in the experience store?" Dior thought of the rumors he had heard in the family before, and said: "Speaking of this, I heard that there are many The family has already begun to place bets on the Rohr family. They are probably planning to block the market in England. I am afraid the Lake family will be uncomfortable next."

"The Ministry of Magic would do such a stupid thing to block the market." Jonathan raised his eyebrows. He didn't know much about these things.

"Ha, have you forgotten about magic carpets? Decades ago, magic carpets were kicked out of the British market by those guys. Bulgaria and the magic carpet business in Egypt have been trying to re-enter England for how long. Look at the Ministry of Magic. Has it been allowed? And it’s still using this ridiculous reason. Ha, it’s like Muggles don’t use brooms. Isn’t it just to save their broom business? Let me tell you, riding a magic carpet when going out is not much more comfortable than riding a broom. "

Why is Dior a macho man who got into the position of a gangster in a year? He is very aware of the filth of these established families. It is because he really can't stand it that he is unwilling to take over the job at home.

Jonathan looked at the bustle of people queuing up to buy, and finally understood the nature of this thing: "In other words, this store was opened by the old families to deal with the Lake family's magic cards, in order to seize their market."

"Really, didn't the young head of the Lake family make the magic scroll's spell model public? This thing can be made by anyone who knows the principle. It is not troublesome to customize the production machine with the goblin, and the cost is not much different. The Lake family sells it Others can also sell it. Those guys have been coveting the Galleons earned by the Lake family for a long time, how could they let this opportunity pass?"

"Ha, to be honest, I have always admired that boy from the Lake family. No one will question his genius now, but after all, he is still too young. An heirloom treasure like scroll magic is released like this. It's time to Do you think he is naive or he dislikes Jin Galleons for earning too much?"

"Haha, actually I don't quite understand. The Lake family doesn't seem to have done anything so far. You see, this store is open here like this and no one cares about it. Is it because I am too busy with the Monster Cup to be distracted or I just don't like this magic scroll? I can guarantee that if the Lake family continues to do nothing, even if their magic cards are produced again in the future, they will not be able to sell them abroad. The foreign Ministry of Magic may ban the Lake family for protection. The entry of cards is like banning the sale of magic carpets in our country.”

Jonathan was thoughtful and said "Wait for me here" before suddenly squeezing into the crowd. After a long time, he squeezed out again with a few pieces of parchment, "This is the magic scroll. The magic recorded on it is Yes, do you want to try it?”

Dio frowned and took it, and studied it a bit: "It can be used by triggering with magic power. It is indeed much simpler and more convenient than simply casting spells, but"

Dio threw the parchment back to Jonathan: "But is it of any use to us wizards? It's not much easier to cast spells directly than this."

"It's true. We generally don't need it. I'm afraid this group of people are gathering here just to join in the fun. Maybe only those squibs will go crazy for this thing." Jonathan scratched his head and said, "Do you think it could be Lake?" They really don’t take this scroll magic seriously, they think it’s boring to just make money from squibs.”

"Impossible, even if they really don't take this business seriously, why should they show something after suffering such a big loss? I'm more inclined to think that the Lake family is holding back some big trick." Dio looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, He shook his head and said: "Maybe the magic scroll has other uses. Ignore him. Let's go to the stadium. Instead of caring about this, it's better to think about tonight's game."

Jonathan quickly followed up: "But I think this is a good opportunity. Don't you have a factory in Italy? Why don't you come and get involved? There's no reason why others can do it but you can't. To be honest, I think there's a lot of business for Squibs." ah"

Dio rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, you still need to remind me. Those old guys have a vicious eye. Will there be fewer people seeing this business? But my dad is still waiting and watching. After all, the Lake family has not taken action yet. After this Yokai Cup match, this matter will probably be resolved."

The two soon found England's exclusive golden tent. When they came to the tent, the staff wearing gold hats asked them to show their tickets and identification.

"Hey, man, you don't know me, Dio, and we are contestants." Dio muttered, taking out his Facebook page and showing him his "ticket."

"Of course I know Mr. Dior, but this is a necessary procedure, I hope you can understand it." Golden Hat replied with a smile.

"It should be, maybe someone will use compound potion to pretend to be the two of us, we are celebrities now." Jonathan responded with a smile.

The two men proved their identities, and the golden hat staff opened the tent door curtain, bowed and said: "Two gentlemen, go to the service desk inside to show your identification, and someone will arrange the next itinerary for you. I sincerely wish you can become. "

"Lend your auspicious words."

Dio and Jonathan walked into the tent with a smile, and then the smiles suddenly froze on their faces, because the sight in front of them was a bit shocking.

When you walk into this tent, you will find a very large shopping mall with a height of more than ten floors. When you look up, you can barely see the top. The hollow decoration of this high-rise building is a few huge balloons floating in the air. There are long strings hanging under the balloons. There are huge billboards with various advertisements playing on them, and there are many wizards flying around in the air, going back and forth between the floors. The bright yellow tone makes the large shopping mall in front of you look very lively.

Everyone was shocked by the high-end and classy "tent" when they walked in, even Dior and Jonathan were no exception.

"Jonathan, I kind of believe that the Lake family is really not short of money. The space inside this tent is too big, right? There seem to be many tents like this. The Lake family is so rich." Dio felt the coolness and raised his head to count. How many floors does this building have?

"It's true, ah, that seems to be the service front desk, let's go there quickly." Even Jonathan, who prides himself on being well-informed, was shocked by the Lake family's generosity. Although it is not difficult for a wizard to build a house, he has the ability to expand it. This large space is proof of the family's strength. After all, this level of space expansion usually requires masters who are very proficient in space magic to complete. If so many tents seen outside have this configuration, wow, the Lake family is Really rich

"Welcome, how can I help you? It's Mr. Dio and Mr. Jonathan." The wizard lady at the front desk was so surprised that she almost screamed, but she didn't scream, so that's pretty much it.

"I'm your fan. Your game was really exciting. These two gentlemen will definitely win tonight."

Dio smiled reservedly and said: "Thank you for your support, but should we hurry up and go through the formalities now? As contestants, we have to sign in here, right?"

The young lady at the front desk covered her mouth and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I was too excited. I will take you to Penello, the meeting point. You can take my place and I will bring the two gentlemen in."

Dior saw a beautiful girl who looked like a student coming from behind to take over the young lady's position. The Lake family actually employed child labor, and it was indeed a black-hearted capitalist.

Dior and Jonathan followed the lady at the front desk to the sightseeing elevator on the side, which was not electric. When they entered the elevator, Dior realized that the building had 28 floors. The lady at the front desk directly pressed the number for the 28th floor.

He was very curious about the layout of Lake's house, and in order to avoid the enthusiastic young lady's weird questions, Dio directly asked: "How many people can live here? What is the layout of this tent? How will the audience enter the venue?" ah"

The lady at the front desk answered Dior's questions one by one with enthusiasm: "Ours is the largest reception area. After all, the number of Chinese people coming to watch the game is definitely the largest. There are more than 5000 rooms in this building, and we will provide guests with It provides a comfortable living environment. Tickets are required to check in. There are space doors on each floor that directly connect the seats in various areas of the stadium. You only need to hold the ticket to enter. The two gentlemen are participating team members. You have exclusive seats on the top floor. Rooms, and all expenses including accommodation during the competition will be fully covered by the organizer.”

The young lady introduced the two of them eloquently and seemed to be very skilled in her business. The three of them quickly arrived at the top floor. Dior looked down from the top and confirmed again that he was indeed in a tent.

"Mr. Dior, Mr. Jonathan, this is the teleportation hall. The numbers on these doors represent the seating area numbers. The contestants' seats are in area 1a03, which is this door. When you want to enter tonight, you can just go through this door. Yes, there is a restaurant opposite the teleportation hall, you can pick up your own meals."

The young lady at the front desk dutifully introduced this super-standard luxury "hotel" for the two of them. The amount of information was a bit large, and both of them felt a little dizzy.

"And this is your room card. Room number is 2. Room No. 10 is on the right side of the restaurant. Just follow the number index to find it. We will report your check-in information to the organizer. If you need anything, you can Call the golem directly through the ring bell in the room, or call the waiter through the room's Facebook, or this is my private Facebook mirror card. If you have any special needs, you can also ask if you need any help."

Facing the young lady's blushing inquiry, Dior felt that his brain was a little dizzy after receiving a lot of information, so he directly expressed his desire: "I'm a little hungry, please take us to a restaurant to eat first."
