Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Friends who often do archaeology should know that there are two most terrifying things after entering a tomb: one is that the coffin in the tomb is opened from the outside; the other is that the coffin in the tomb is opened from the inside in front of you by someone who is not sure whether he is a human or not.

Because of his several visits to the "Great Cemetery", Bourne held his wand tightly in one hand and reached into his transforming lizard wallet with the other hand - whenever he saw a hint of green light, he would not hesitate to wash the ground with the hot melt gun first, and then take out the chainsaw sword to prepare for any accidents.

The good news is that what came out of the coffin was not green light, but a hint of red light.

In the deep dark night, a strand of pale long hair emerged and slid down from the top of the coffin. Inside the coffin, a witch in a scarlet robe slowly sat up, her eyes were like two bottomless black holes, containing unknown secrets.

Her robe was embroidered with ferocious sea snakes and complex magical runes, and the wide cuffs fluttered with her movements, as if ready to take her into the deep sea at any time.

The hem of her robe was trimmed with wolfskin, and around her waist was a whalebone belt covered with ornaments made from the teeth and bones of her enemies.

The witch's shriveled arms were covered with scars of battle, but these scars seemed to be given new life during her "resurrection". Her skin was inevitably pale after being sealed in the coffin for a long time, but it was a kind of toughness that could not be concealed even after years.

When she completely climbed out of the coffin, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the dark sky, illuminating her iron-blooded makeup and the totem on her face.

She seemed to have resurrected from an ancient legend, bringing with her the wildness of a Viking pirate and the mystery of a witch, ready to set sail again and lead her crew to plunder and explore on the endless sea.

Nelida Vokhanova, the legendary pirate queen, founder of Durmstrang, and the most famous magician in Bulgaria, has temporarily escaped from the great adventure of "Death".

"Song, rum, and tobacco--all these pleasant things, why do I not see them?"

Nelida Vokhanova looked around and scratched her white hair in confusion.

That's right, although the decoration taste is a bit poor, this is indeed her Durmstrang Castle, the magic school she founded.

"Accio Saga!" The witch snapped her fingers and chanted a spell.

Before he finished speaking, the original copy of the Durmstrang Saga, which had been held by Principal Karkaroff, instantly returned to its original owner.

When the witch held the saga, her five fingers turned into five red-hot irons. The thick magic book made a hissing sound and smoke rose from it. At the same time, everyone present smelled a smell of copper rust.

Seeing this, Karkaroff, the only one who had held the magic book, couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise: "Are you Principal Nelida Vokhanova?"

"Loki's green socks!"

"Odin's eyepatch!"

"Napoleon's high heels!"

"..."

Everyone present exclaimed in surprise, and even Bourne said "Merlin's beard" in order to "fit in".

However, in addition to being surprised, the professors at Durmstrang were also very cautious and did not completely believe what the woman in front of them said.

In other words, they actually didn't think that the person who just crawled out of the coffin was a woman.

Nelida Vulkanova did not seem to be offended by this. She just continued to "burn" (but no flames rose) the "Drmstrang Saga" and looked at the foreign little wizards who appeared in Durmstrang with interest.

"I see."

After casting the spell, she knew that these students from other schools were young wizards who came to participate in the Potions Championship - she was not burning the saga, but reading the records in the magic book through a special magic.

This is a "back door" that she, as the creator of this magic book, left for herself to be lazy.

"Flipping through books is the most troublesome thing. This will make it much easier." As she said this, the witch threw the magic book in her hand to the ground.

This scene made the eyelids of Mstrang's principal, Karkaroff, and the professors twitch.

You know, that is the Durmstrang Saga, a powerful ancient alchemical product with the same function as the "Book of Admission" and "Pen of Acceptance" of Hogwarts.

Durmstrang School of Magic recruits students from all over Europe, and this book is the guide for finding those little wizards. In addition, it not only records the history of Durmstrang in detail, but also helps successive principals manage the school.

To put it bluntly, even if Karkaroff died today, as long as this magic book is there, everything in Durmstrang will still run smoothly.

Therefore, when seeing this precious book casually thrown on the ground, many professors questioned whether this person was really the founder of the school.

However, the next second, they were all shocked - even Karkaroff, who had kept this saga, was also quite shocked - because as soon as this magic book fell to the ground, it seemed to be given life.

It actually came alive!

It began to jump on the ground, and the whole stack of books split in the middle, revealing sharp teeth folded from the pages and a big red tongue transformed from the page straps.

It would even make a rustling sound and walk around its mistress's feet like a poodle.

"Your name is Karkaroff, right?" Nelida Vulkanova raised her chin, pointed at the current headmaster of Durmstrang, and said in a tone of command rather than negotiation: "In the next few days, you should let me be the headmaster..."

Then, as if she would not accept any objection, she walked towards the young wizards such as Bourne, and pulled out a hornbeam wand from her whalebone leather bag, and lifted the spell on the nine Norwegian ridgebacks nearby.

"...Potion Championship, what a coincidence, isn't it?" Nelida Vokhanova said excitedly: "I am also one of the founders of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Alliance. I can also be your referee and watch your competition..."

Her words left everyone confused, but what she said next was even more outrageous -

"...Of course, before that, which of you just used a battle cry to mark the start of a wizard duel?

Get started! Remember, this is a game of life and death.

My time is limited, how can I be absent from the fun? "
