The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The magic training room underground in Forlì Castle is as big as four indoor basketball courts. Not only is it equipped with a large number of alchemy targets made of the best anti-magic materials, the floor and walls are even more than 1 meter long. Composed of thick obsidian slabs.

Link, wearing a short hunting suit and holding a wand, stood in the center of this huge and luxurious training room.

He closed his eyes tightly and remained silent, as if he was deep in thought or brewing something.

After a long time, a blue-gray light began to flash on the tip of his staff.

Link suddenly opened his eyes, swung out his right hand, and a huge blue-black drill was shot out.

Although the target in the training ground can be said to be the ultimate in alchemy and materials science, it is still vulnerable to this terrifying drill and is instantly drilled into pieces.

Then the drill bit slammed into the obsidian wall, and then it exploded into blue-black ice chips that filled the sky.

This is not the end yet.

As Link raised his wand again, the ice shards quickly melted into black water all over the ground, and it was extremely corrosive, corroding almost everything around it into pits and a mess.

Seeing this, Link nodded, and the blue-gray light on the tip of the staff completely turned into pitch black. After being thrown out by Link again, these lights grew longer in the wind, turning into two long snakes made entirely of pitch black flames.

The eyes of these two long snakes flashed with human greed. They madly absorbed the magic power remaining in the air to expand their bodies.

But after their bodies grew to nearly 2 meters long, Link's powerful mental power suddenly tilted down, directly annihilating the long snake's channel for absorbing magic power from the outside world.

Then, they cast their greedy eyes on each other.

Two long black flame snakes suddenly became entangled, rolling and biting each other.

During the burst of Mars, even the solid obsidian was melted into hot magma.

In the chaos, many sparks flew towards Link, but in the face of these dangers, Link closed his eyes and gave up resistance.

But when Mars was about to arrive, Link, who had closed his eyes and had given up any sense of perception, began to twist in the rain of Mars as if he had expected it. These postures were very weird, but he avoided it to the extreme every time. to Mars.

After a long time, both sides of the flame snake were injured, and it had completely decomposed into a sea of ​​fire.

Link, who was unharmed, opened his eyes. There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but his face was extremely serious.

"call!"

He took a long breath of burning breath, and a black magic power that exuded an ominous aura and was as sinister as a hell emerged from it, slowly encompassing Link within it.

Then a strange scene happened.

After appearing for a period of time, those black magic powers turned into beautiful translucent flames strangely!

At this time, Link had completely lost his former indifference and elegance, and a brutal and bloody murderous aura swept out, almost condensing into substance.

"Roar!~"

With an inhuman roar, Link got down on all fours and began to attack everything around him crazily.

"Boom!~Boom——"

The heart-stopping translucent flames and explosions enveloped the entire training room. Those solid alchemy targets had long been blown into powder. The remaining black flames around Link were instantly annihilated when they encountered the more domineering white energy, and were reborn. It turned into magic power and dissipated in the air.

This horrific scene lasted for nearly 3 minutes before it ended.

Those arrogant translucent flames all returned to Link's body, and Link's eyes gradually returned to clarity.

He was breathing heavily, and a large amount of sweat continued to drip down his neck, already making the hunting jacket on his body wet.

But even though he was in such a miserable state, Link's eyebrows were full of excitement and there was a smile on his face.

Ten days!

After ten days, he finally digested all the gains from the previous battle and turned them into combat power that could actually be used in actual combat!

Among them, the first thing to bear the brunt is the fusion of the power of water control and the power of curse.

This is an ability that Link learned during the battle with the armored Death Eater. The specific form is a huge drill that contains a water cutting knife and is wrapped with countless cursed power blades.

Although this drill could not break through the golden light screen condensed by the combined efforts of the armored Death Eaters, it was still the strongest existence among the magic spells mastered by Link based on its point-to-point attack power.

Link, who suffered from chuunibyou, originally planned to name him "The Drill that Breaks the Sky".

Fortunately, Link pulled back from the brink and came to his senses at the last moment. Instead of becoming a naming freak like the Yondaime, he changed his name to [Tian Yuan Drill]. Although the Two-dimensional flavor is still there, it is finally much weaker.

And after in-depth research, Link improved his initial superficial combination of water control power and curse power into a more advanced semi-fusion mode.

This gave Link another liquid form with stronger and more ferocious corrosive abilities than the power of the curse.

This ability was named [Cold Poison] by Link.

This ability is very flexible and can be used alone or attached to other enchantments.

For example, when combined with the Tianyuan Drill, the enemy will be attacked by cold poison even if they block the drill.

It can be described as extremely insidious!

At the same time, after seeing the scene where Mike used the power of transparent flames to defeat Voldemort, Link also began to conduct in-depth research on the power of the curse.

The result of the research was the two black flame snakes that had just been released.

These flames are essentially concentrated and enhanced versions of Li Fire, with their power, spreading speed, and ability-absorbing speed all increased by almost five times.

Of course, the control difficulty has also increased five times.

But this is not important. After Occlumency was upgraded to lv6, it brought a huge amount of mental power to Link, which made it impossible for these powerful fires to escape Link's control even if they were several times stronger.

At the same time, the benefits brought to Link by the greatly increased mental power are far more than this.

Link had speculated as early as when he was at Hogwarts that he had acquired some ability similar to a sixth sense after his mental power surged.

After these few days of experiments, he finally confirmed that he had acquired some kind of ability similar to the Haki of Wisdom and Information - of course, it was a weakened version, the kind that was sometimes ineffective, and targeted the attack's perception range. Only half a catty and 3 meters.

Although there are various restrictions, Link is already very satisfied.

Because this is just the beginning.

Link believes that as his mental power continues to grow, this terrifying ability will gradually increase.

This process may be long and arduous, but Link feels it is completely worth it.

In the end, Link's biggest and most exciting gain this time is that his control over Mike has greatly increased, and it has even reached the point where he can let Mike go out to fight in a short period of time.

After many experiments, Link determined this time to be 3 minutes.

As long as this time is not exceeded, Mike will not be able to cause substantial damage to Link's soul and mind. At most, it will only consume some mental power.

And if this time is exceeded, the consequences will be unpredictable.

As a trump card, 3 minutes is actually enough.

After all, with Mike's current fighting ability, three minutes is enough for him to defeat most wizards in the world in a one-on-one duel.

If he can't win in 3 minutes, it will be difficult to win even if he is given another 10 minutes.

Because 3 minutes is too subtle, Link named it Ultraman Time.

He even seemed to have a problem with the appearance on TV. When transforming, he assumed an extremely neutral posture, and then shouted Mike...

Of course, no one saw that look, and Link wasn't going to let anyone know the real name of this move. That would be too embarrassing!

After resting, although he was in a sorry state, he was in an extremely excited mood. Link opened the door and went up the stairs to the castle.

Emily, wearing a nightgown, happened to be walking across the corridor.

Link smiled and opened his arms and walked towards Emily - he couldn't help but want to share his joy with Emily.

However, Emily did not give Link this chance.

She frowned, dragging Link and trotting all the way to a dressing room on the second floor.

In the process, Link finally discovered that there have been many new changes in Forlì Castle.

The most obvious one is the flower!

White lilies!

A large number of white lilies almost flooded the entire auditorium of the castle, dyeing everything in front of Link's eyes white.

Hundreds of flower fairies, only the size of an adult's hand, shuttled among the flowers, constantly pulling out fairy dust from the small baskets they carried with them and throwing them out to keep these white lilies in a delicate and beautiful state.

A red carpet passed through the flowers, passed through the open space, and finally arrived at the high platform also surrounded by white lilies, which looked gorgeous and harmonious.

It's a pity that Link only admired this beautiful scenery for a moment before he was pinned down in his seat by two makeup artists in straight suits.

When they, along with two other witches, began to help Link and Emily put on makeup and dresses, Link finally came to his senses.

The flower language of white lilies has the same meaning of love as roses.

Although the meaning is not as strong as the rose, the flower language of white lily also has the meaning of purity, elegance, nobility and solemnity.

This is very suitable for engagement and wedding flowers between pure-blood wizard nobles like Link and Emily.

In order to ensure that the flowers stay fresh, the flowers generally not only need to be continuously cast by flower fairies, but also need to be transported to the site on the day of the ceremony.

Then things are clear.

Today is July 7th, the day Link and Emily got engaged!

Realizing this, Link was a little nervous. He quietly glanced at the dressing room where Emily was, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on his observations, Emily didn't seem to notice that he was training in magic to the point where he forgot about such an important day.

Otherwise, Emily would have come over and beaten him by now.

There is actually no such thing as an engagement ceremony in the wizarding tradition.

Even in situations like Link and Emily who are unable to get married immediately due to age or other special reasons.

That is to say, the parents of both parties will discuss with each other and finalize the specific matters and wedding time.

The most important reason why Link and Emily want to do something special this time is actually to make Emily happy, and to show the strength of the Foley family to the entire wizarding world in the country, and improve their existence. feel.

This is also important in the current complex environment.

And since it has to be done, Mrs. Foley will naturally not allow this matter to be carried out casually.

So an engagement process based on the ancient rituals of Muggle nobles and wizards was invented by Mrs. Foley.

This set of etiquette procedures on the day of engagement is relatively simple. After all, it is just an engagement, and you cannot make others feel that it is more grand than a real wedding.

But in terms of preliminary preparations and etiquette interactions that are invisible to others, the complexity of this thing is a headache.

At least Link had no interest in reading the 10 pages of parchment etiquette.

He had never been very fond of things that looked glamorous but had little real meaning.

Contrary to Link, the two women, Mrs. Foley and Emily, burst out with extremely high enthusiasm for this matter.

So Link naturally became the hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all the matters to them, while he devoted himself to the study of magic spells. Normally, except for necessary things like making dresses, Link would He wouldn't leave that spell training room at all.

Therefore, it is completely understandable that Link would forget the engagement date.

Because he wasn't too concerned about it from the beginning.

After being cleaned up by two makeup artists with a guilty feeling, it was already afternoon.

At this time, Link's appearance had also changed drastically.

Generally speaking, you won't find anything special about a real aristocrat at first glance.

At best, you can just feel the noble temperament emanating from their bones.

In addition to the fact that they have been cultivated in high positions for a long time, this temperament is also due to the details of their seemingly ordinary clothes.

This kind of detail may be an inconspicuous designer's exclusive mark on custom-made suit leather shoes, or it may be a family crest tattooed on solid gold cufflinks...

In short, after countless details that ordinary people can't detect are cleverly stacked together, that nobleman becomes a kind of noble being who can be seen by a discerning person at a glance, and who can be noticed by ordinary people even if he is not aware of it.

This is what Link looks like now.

At first glance, the pure black suit he is wearing is not much different from that of the two makeup artists, but when the three of them stand together, even the children playing in the mud on the roadside will know that Link is the truly noble one. people.

The two male makeup artists looked at Link with extremely hot eyes.

Although Link could clearly sense through Legilimency that the other party was just appreciating the perfect work of art created by them, but after considering the rumors that the fashion makeup artist in his previous life was gay, Link still felt a twinge of evil in his heart. Han hurriedly waved them away.

At this time, the door to the dressing room next door finally opened.

Emily walked over with a smile, surrounded by two female makeup artists.

This scene made Link, who had a look of disgust on his face just now, suddenly widen his eyes and his expression became surprised.
