HP's Adagio Minor

"I can't refuse." The portrait bowed slightly, "The way to break the curse is actually not difficult—"

Place the cursed person in the center of the stacked hexagram, and after chanting the prayer, establish the medium of the curse and the countercurse through blood drops, but to eliminate the negative effects of the curse, a crucial factor is needed, that is Sunlight……

Lola quickly remembered how to break the curse, and she didn't tell anyone about it, except Anos.

"Do you think my chances of success are high? You know, I've never tried it, I just heard... my father mentioned it."

Compared with girls' indecision, boys are much more decisive.

"If you don't try, there will be no probability."

The good friend's encouragement was very effective. Lola called Valentinghanger in the corridor outside the sixth grade classroom, and tactfully expressed her request. The big boy was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

"you sure?"

"Yes, senior."

The serious look of the girl made Hanger look serious, and he said that he would go back to the club to discuss it.Lola naturally had no objection, and only reminded, "If possible, please hurry up, Senior Hanger, daylight is needed to break the curse."

"A first grader, what does she know!" Parker Ebbotts reacted like most people, "I have tried so many methods, and even failed to break the spell by force, what use is a little girl—— That's what the guy who stuffs the dung balls does."

"Watch your words!"

"Dung-ball-"

"...While blocking vulgar words, I have to point out that if the dragon horse is really dead, Durmstrang's reputation will be greatly reduced, and our leading position in the beast riding society will be lost. , Maybe the 'Union of Rare Breeds' will blacklist us."

"In that case, the student union will have an excuse to find fault again—they have been trying to reduce the club's liquidity." Reye Hane said lazily leaning on the sofa, "So, we might as well Try, that is the secret technique of the Silver Tomahawk family."

"Before this family fell, I would probably be more convinced." Ebots snorted coldly, "What about the 'blood medium'?"

Generally speaking, the blood medium can be the blood of the injured wizard himself. Considering that the cursed beast is a mount, it can be provided by a human wizard trusted by the mount—usually their owner.

"This dragon horse has no owner," Valentingham frowned. "No one likes it, and no one has tamed it yet."

Most of the mounts are brought from home by students, and they don't belong to Durmstrang like Ryoma, so everyone will not be interested in this kind of 'public mount'.

"What if it is domesticated immediately?"

"We're running out of time, and the sun is going to sleep for the last few days," said Reye Haney, "and it doesn't have the stamina."

In the end, the Beast Riding Club selected a provider of the blood medium—this student was responsible for the daily cleaning of the animal pens, and Ryoma seemed to understand his situation, so he didn't pick anything more.

After all the preparations were completed, Hanger still looked worried. He looked towards the center of the training ground—the girl was squatting in the center of the cleaned mud ground, drawing the array of stars with concentration, and her small figure was almost submerged in the undulating In a snowdrift.

"Hope a miracle happens," he sighed, "or it's all over."

Ryoma's condition has deteriorated after he failed to forcibly break the curse. If he still fails this time, this weak rider will definitely not be able to survive the long polar night.

"Relax, buddy!" Reye Hane said casually, "I think Miss Barodis is very interesting. Look, the little boyfriend next to her is quite calm."

Sensing the inexplicable line of sight behind him, Anos turned his head sharply, his eyes locked on a certain window on the fortress.

"What's wrong?" the girl asked

"It's okay." The boy shook his head, and then cast a warming spell on the girl.

"Thank you."

Inside the window, Reye Hane looked away.

"It's not bad looking, but it's a 'wolf cub'-hey, don't look at me like that, the delicate and flowery ladies I like...you know, you can't dance with the girls in the girls' school these days, How boring is it?"

"I'm not interested in knowing this." Valentinghanger pulled out his wand, "We should go out, and if there is an accident, we can control the situation."

"Oh, if you feel it necessary, of course—I'll go with you."

The Helk family is a new aristocrat in the magic world. In the early years, they made a fortune by selling and smuggling rare magical creatures.Now this family is winning the limelight in Norway and has replaced the original Olsen family as Norway's largest aristocratic family - most of the mounts used by Durmstrang for competitions are domesticated by this family.

Quessey Helk, Durmstrang's sixth grader, known as "Bad Boy".The power of the family is enough for him to become the leader of the Beast Riding Club, but he is not interested in trivial matters such as the operation of the club, and everything is taken care of by the vice president.

Although for several months, people in the club have focused on a rare riding beast from the east, in his eyes, it is nothing special, at best, it is a Pegasus with scales and antlers on its head.Although it flies very fast, it can't compare to his favorite ride in terms of endurance.

However, as Durmstrang's favorite to win awards, Karkaroff has always attached great importance to the Beast Riding Club, and even traveled thousands of miles to form a friendly school with Asia's No. [-] magic school, and regularly sent students to observe and study.And now that the 'gift' from the friendly school is dying, it's an absolute shame - the face-saving principal would never allow that to happen.

Quesai Helk directed the griffin to circle in the sky. The cold water vapor hit the windshield and then condensed into frost.He recalled yesterday's conversation in his mind:

"Boss, they are crazy. They have to believe that first grade." Parker Ebbetts said in a rough voice, "Barodis? A rusty hatchet."

"Remember the magic hurricane in the restaurant a few months ago? The remnants of the magic power clearly show that this is an advanced spell. To be honest, most people can't do it in the first grade." Valentinghanger said very To the point, "The talent passed through the blood is indeed amazing."

"More importantly, she is a girl." Remar Hane added, "If you marry her, the probability of giving birth to excellent offspring will be—"

"She's only a little fart, and you're thinking about it."

"I'm just saying it offhand, you know, in a flash."

The griffin flapped its huge wings and flew high into the sky, then swooped down, rotated 360 degrees, and then returned to the clouds smoothly.

"You've done a good job and you're here today."

The griffin screamed excitedly, and after circling the boundary of the Kebne Snow Mountain a few times, one man and one beast flew back.

??

After Laura washed her hands with the Qingquan spell, her knuckles felt stiff and dry, and she rubbed them vigorously.A few senior students around used the floating spell to move Ryoma to the center of the magic circle.

At this time, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, making the sky reflect the beautiful clouds.

"It's about time," Anders said.

Lola nodded and stood at the starting position. Just as she was about to start, a huge black shadow descended in the center of the animal training ground—it was an eight-foot-long adult griffin with spread wings Almost blocked out the sun.

"It's the boss!"

"Boss is back!"

The members of the Beast Riding Club surrounded him, saying adoringly and admiringly.

Lola subconsciously looked at Anos, who gave her a comforting look.

"Where are the members of the Barodis family?"

After a deep question, the crowd retreated one after another, and Quesai Helk walked up to the girl. His light-colored eyes were as sharp as ice, and his profound facial features were full of hostility.

"Lola Barodis." Lola solemnly curtseyed, "Thank you last time..."

She should have said a few more words, after all, the person in front of her had saved her, but the other person didn't seem to appreciate it, "Stop talking nonsense, you can start."

Lola leaned over, thinking she would thank you next time when I was free.When he raised his head, he found that the other party was looking at him from head to toe, with a sense of scrutiny.Lola was a little uneasy, and she turned slightly sideways, trying to avoid the impolite gaze.

Just then, Anos stood in front of her.

"Senior Helk, please move your position a little bit.

"Oh? Are you ordering me?"

Notoriously volatile and difficult to get along with, Helk was a downright dangerous character.

"I didn't mean to offend, senior, but the magic circle started, everyone must stay away from the star horn."

"Have some guts, boy, what's your name?"

"Annos von Stillland."

"Ha, German guy! There are some sissy little guys of Germanic blood, don't blame the senior for not reminding you, you have to be careful with such looks, don't be dragged along..."

"That's enough, Parker! Now is not the time to make a fuss." Valentinghanger interrupted, looking at Lola and Annos, who were clutching their wands tightly, "I promise on the honor of the family, You two will make it back to the Student Tower safely, I promise."

Then he looked at Helk, "Quesai?"

The other party nodded slightly.

At this time, the sun has reached its peak, shining on the earth like a ruby.Lola took a breath, calmed down, and read the ode to undo the curse.She stood devoutly in the magic circle, her crisp voice sounded like musical notes, calm and gentle, the wind caressed, and the rays of light added a touch of holiness to this sweet face.

After the eulogy was over, the magic wand in Lola's hand emitted a chain of light that connected to the ground, and the outer edge of the magic circle shone brightly—this kind of ancient magic circle is rare, and everyone talked about it, but no After a while, the glow dimmed.

"Is the magic not enough?"

Lola thought, and tried to inject all the magic power into the wand according to the portrait - but, an inexplicable resistance pushed back all the magic power.Seeing that the light of the magic circle was about to disappear, the girl panicked and reached out to grab the light chain.

In an instant, the radiance of the magic circle flourished, and several air currents roared, wrapping the magic circle tightly, like a barrier cast by an invisible wind.The twelve star corners on the stacked hexagram are illuminated with bright light of different colors in sequence according to the order of sunlight.

"Wow!"

The surrounding seniors praised.

Lola felt the magic power in her body drain quickly, and she couldn't keep her balance due to the dizziness, and even dropped her wand to the ground.It would be dangerous to go on like this. Realizing this, the girl felt that the light chain in her hand was extremely hot, but she couldn't get rid of it, so she could only continue to grit her teeth and hold on.

"Lola!"

In the blink of an eye, the girl was on the verge of falling, and Anos called out loudly, but the strong wind raged outside the circle, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

"How to do?"

"Preparing to forcefully break the formation..." Hanger was stopped before he could finish speaking.

"Wait, wait a while." Helk had an evil smile on his face, "If you want to get benefits, you have to pay a price."

"?"

"I'd like to see how capable the Silver Tomahawk family is."

??

For a moment, Lola felt like a chained prey, and the magic circle that unraveled the curse was like a chaotic beast, opening its bloody mouth and devouring all the magic power in her body.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a soft green light suddenly came out from her chest, enveloping the girl inside—the strange and gentle power continuously penetrated into her body through the pores, making her already on the verge of exhaustion The power of magic is working again.

From the eyes of outsiders, the magic power in the magic circle is still surging. Although there are faint green shimmers mixed in, it is not noticeable, but careful people can still find that the various magic elements in the air are no longer running around. , but constantly alternate according to some ancient law.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire magic circle suddenly became quiet, and the wind barrier on the outer edge slowly dissipated, revealing the overlapping light and shadow inside—there were light clusters representing different elements floating on the corners of the twelve stars, and these light clusters slowly The ground sank and merged into the entire magic circle, and the strong light emitted was even more dazzling than the sun.

"Snapped--"

The light chain was broken, and Lola, who lost her balance, slumped to the ground, and Anos hurried forward to help her up.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

The girl smiled feebly, her pale lips made her look extremely weak.

When all the light clusters were fused, this ancient curse-breaking circle was finally completed—after a drop of wizard blood fell on the beast in the center of the circle, the light of the circle became darker and darker as the curse disappeared. , until it went out——At the same time, Ryoma finally regained his spirits, and stood up with fluttering wings. Although he was a little thin, he looked very healthy.

"It finally succeeded." Seeing this scene, Hanger and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But before everyone finished cheering, Ryoma suddenly neighed quickly again, a magic mark of blood appeared on its forehead, and then a red light made it lower its head—it was facing the direction where the girl was standing.

"How is this going?"

Everyone was amazed, until someone applauded first.

"Good talent, good means." Helk was full of sarcasm, "If you change someone, you won't have this kind of ability-what an excellent ancient magic circle, powerful and effective, it can make contracted beasts obey forever, even it The descendants of you cannot disobey the order of you or your descendants."

"what?"

Everyone looked over in surprise, even Anos looked at the girl in surprise, but Lola looked very dazed, "I don't understand what you are talking about, Senior Herke."

"Perhaps, but this contract circle has been completed perfectly. I think that many families, including Helk, will be interested in developing some win-win exchange of interests with your family—Barodis, the silver battle axe." .”

"Contract circle?"

"Isn't this stuff already lost?"

There was a lot of discussion.

"So, this dragon horse was contracted?"

"But the medium of the blood is not her..."

"That's just a pretense," Hane said lazily, "a drop of blood can't compare to so much magic power—hey, Miss Barodis, get on your contracted beast."

"No!" Lola shook her head, the suspicious, envious, and jealous eyes around her made her very uncomfortable, "I just want to unravel the curse, there is no other purpose."

She looked at Ryoma, who was pouncing its hooves and making a cooing sound from its throat. Even though it was a little reluctant, it still bowed its head respectfully, and the mark on its forehead was as red as blood.

"I don't like deception or coercion, and you don't conform to my aesthetic...so I won't be your master."

What the girl said made the boys of the Beast Riding Club almost overwhelmed, she actually disliked Ryoma for being unattractive!

You must know that once the mount recognizes its owner, it will never leave it for life. Even if it is owned by Durmstrang, it can only be used on loan (a certain Galleon is required every year, and the school still retains the mount) Priority domestication rights for the offspring bred).However, this is an incomparably precious Eastern Riding Beast in front of her. Even the contract magic circle has been successfully activated, so she doesn't want it!

The dragon horse was obviously also angry. Although under the influence of the contract circle, it was still a little reluctant, but being underestimated like this definitely challenged the dignity of a noble beast.

ugly? !

The dragon horse screamed loudly, shaking everyone's eardrums, and the mane of the whole body turned into flames and burned without wind. The flames turned from red to yellow, then from yellow to blue, and finally turned became white.The pure white flames covered the whole body of the dragon horse in an instant, and this magical oriental horse neighed wantonly and joyfully in the flames.

"This, is this a kind of nirvana?"

"But isn't that a characteristic unique to Phoenix?"

"A magical oriental creature." Hanger murmured.

Until the flames burned out, Ryoma completely changed its appearance—the crystal white scales emitted seven colors of light, the snow-like feathers stretched out, the horns on its head were pure gold, and the contract imprint on its forehead became more and more bright red, faintly visible in the sky. In the light, like a messenger of light.

Ryoma snorted heavily and stuck out his hooves arrogantly.

"Wow, I admit, you look much prettier now." Lola praised sincerely.
