[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

When Mihail found the magical creature guarding this level in the valley, almost everyone exclaimed:

In the depths of the valley, on the reddish-brown cracked soil, an adult Hungarian Horntail is lying on its dragon's nest--the golden streamer flickers and disappears in its embrace.

It echoed with the half golden spherical object in Mikhail's hand, as if they were breathing in sync.

The Hungarian Horntail obviously sensed the approach of a strange aura. It exhaled sparkling breath, turned its head, and its golden vertical pupils stared closely at the boy who stopped at the edge of its guard.

【Mihail, stay away from it!That's a brooding female dragon!Any creature that comes near its lair will be attacked mercilessly! ] Viktor Krum's voice echoed in Mihail's ear and over the playing field through the sound transmission equipment, 【Moreover, the Hungarian Horntail is the most dangerous fire dragon among all fire dragons!You can't go anywhere near it! 】

Of all dragons, the most dangerous is the Hungarian Horntail, and, even more terrifying than the males, the brooding females.

[It’s really troublesome,] Mihail stopped at the edge of the territory where the Hungarian Horntail felt the crisis, [But, Viktor, you see, the one in its arms is what I want to take—you said flying Does the coming spell work on that golden thing? 】

【...I don't think the organizing committee will forget to put the 'Don't Fly' spell on the keepsake.Maybe you can use something to lure it away first, and then you go get it...] Viktor thought for a while, and said, [To deal with dragons, either the Eye Sickness Curse or the Sleeping Curse—but the latter requires at least a dozen Used by wizards. 】

Mihail walked around the Hungarian Horntail (the alert line) for about half a circle, and saw the surrounding environment clearly: it was flat, with no boulders or grooves that could be used to hide the figure.

[...Mihail, please, please consider Durmstrang's reputation. 】As if he could see something from Mikhail’s observation of the terrain, Viktor Krum swallowed, with despair in his voice, 【Please, don’t let our school’s centuries-old reputation be ruined by Huo Gwarz...]

The blond-haired boy smiled, and stepped into the range of the fire dragon: [I thought you should be mentally prepared for this when I was selected by the Goblet of Fire? 】

The Hungarian Horntail raised its neck high and let out an angry roar at any reptile who dared to step into its domain.

"Why is the conversation between Durmstrang's warrior and his assistant so strange?" Li asked suspiciously, "Why does it sound like that Grindelwald player is going to do something to insult Durmstrang's reputation? ?”

Then, in less than three seconds, Li knew the answer:

Mikhail Grindelwald, a young wizard who came from a well-known magic family in the magic world, did not pull out his wand from the beginning to the end. Instead, he beat the Hungarian Horntail with his fist until he lay on his head with his head in his arms. Weeping on the ground—yes, that Hungarian Horntail was crying. Tears bigger than a washbasin oozed from its big eye sockets, and quickly wet the reddish-brown hot soil, evaporated, and rose into a stream. water vapor.

In the stands, in the silence of "what did I see? This can't be a wizard's way of fighting", the Hogwarts guard of the Forbidden Forest let out a loud sob and used his rag larger than a rag Covering his face with a handkerchief, "Oh, how dare he...how did he treat that Hungarian Horntail...my little cutie..."

The Gryffindor student next to him had to stand a little further away to avoid getting his hair and clothes wet from the sudden "heavy rain" overhead.

[The dragon's scales are indeed a bit hard. ] Michel jumped off the head of the whimpering Hungarian Horntail holding its head in its wings and front paws, and shook the hand that had just clenched its fist, 【I should have put my gloves on. 】

[...The principal is staring at you, calm down, Mikhail. 】

[Is this the first day he knows about my fighting habits? 】

Viktor Krum turned his head and thought about it, too: [Maybe Durmstrang’s reputation won’t be harmed too badly, I believe that according to the official records, the name of your magic enlightenment and instructor will definitely be in Durmstrang’s name. Before Strong—I remember Mihail, your uncle taught you your magic himself. 】

【…】

According to the habit of "whose reputation ranks first" in the magic world, before Durmstrang's reputation was killed, the first person to suffer should be a certain Grindelwald who personally guided his nephew's magic enlightenment and follow-up... …

In the teacher's stand, everyone looked at the blond wizard who was sitting in a remote corner but his vision was not restricted by the slightest obstruction.

"...Mihail's magic, you taught it?" Albus Dumbledore looked at his opponent for half a lifetime as if he had just met Gellert Grindelwald.

——As a generation of magic masters, how did you teach a wizard to become a berserker?

Dumbledore expressed his shock with his eyes.

Generation Demon King: "...shut up!"

So, why didn't he draw a Voldebat!

——I have been teaching magic to my nephew since his enlightenment, but after decades of teaching, he has only taught him one Patronus spell, and he has not even taught the floating spell for beginners. Lett Grindelwald now very much wants to cast an oblivion spell on everyone in the audience.

In the preparation area, Alex rubbed his eyes, feeling that he had a sense of déjà vu: as if he had seen Mikhail beating a fire dragon just now...

It's just that the fire dragon in the visual sense is much bigger than this Hungarian Horntail, and it will also release meteorites like meteors...

The movement of Harry standing up nervously made her temporarily give up the act of continuing to delve into her memory: "Harry, come on!"

She patted her friend's hand tightly clenched with the wand: "Don't worry, there must be a way to pass the competition level given by the organizing committee. Mihail just used... er, an unusual and abnormal way to pass it." Just like dealing with the fire dragon just now, if it were me or you, we could use the transformation spell to conjure a small animal to divert the fire dragon's attention, and then go get the token, right? We have already done this during the summer vacation—and this You are not alone this time, Hermione is behind you! Believe in yourself, and believe in Hermione! You are two of the best students in Gryffindor!"

Thinking of the heart-pounding incident on the beach during the summer vacation, Harry managed to calm down, nodded to his silver-haired friend, and walked out of the preparation area.

The warriors and assistants who have competed will not return to the preparation area, but will enter the tent on the other side and be inspected by the Queen of the Hogwarts Medical Wing—whether they have suffered any hidden injuries, whether they need to be given a bottle of tranquilizer according to the situation, etc. wait……

Madam Pomfrey pulled Michael aside just after he got off the stage, and swiped up and down with his wand at least three times, but no external or internal injuries were found: In fact, when the blond boy left the stage, not even a single hair was burned. coke.

In the end, the queen of the medical wing could only stuff a bottle of tranquilizer, and looked at the cube worriedly: Harry Potter had already walked into the cube.

Mikhail carefully put the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "It's citrus flavored!"

It would be nice not to have that damn cowshit-smelling sedative from his family doctor!

Edward Mosan took a small sip of his bottle of tranquilizer, and his blood-red eyes glanced at Mihail from time to time, but quickly looked away.

The levitating cloak formed by the collection of his tokens followed behind him—this seemed to be an inherent property of complete tokens. Mihail's golden egg was also suspended in mid-air at this time, following behind the blond boy.

"The next one to appear is the first warrior of Hogwarts, the famous Harry Potter, yes, the Boy Who Lived who defeated the mysterious man more than ten years ago!"

Outside, Li's commentary attracted Edward Mosan's attention. He withdrew his gaze from looking at Mikhail Grindelwald. Like everyone else on the field at this time, he focused on the fact that he had conjured up this time. Cubes for the race scene.

The fog cleared, and Harry found himself in a certain hall.

It was warm inside, and the fire blazed brightly in the grate, with occasional crackling and crackling noises from the burning wood beneath.Perhaps it was burning so badly that some ashes fell on the floor by the fireplace.

Three sets of sofas and a wool rug are arranged around the fireplace, and there is a rocking lounge chair, which is very suitable for the frail elderly to sit by the fireplace in winter to keep warm.

[This, looks like the first floor hall of some kind of house? 】Harry and Hermione exchanged what they saw, and the assistant could see everything the warrior saw, and at the same time cut the camera to see the maximum range around the warrior not exceeding twenty feet from God's perspective.

[The door cannot be opened. 】He pushed the door at the entrance and remained motionless.

【The token should be in this house, Harry, go and have a look? ] Hermione suggested, 【This is only the first floor, from the stairs, there are basement and second floor. 】

[Do you want me to find them room by room? 】Harry sighed, but still followed Hermione's instructions and began to check room by room.

The branch in his hand, which seemed to be broken off in the wild, did not respond at all.

After exploring the entire room, he returned to the lobby on the first floor.

[This seems to be a Muggle's home, I saw a refrigerator and an induction cooker in the kitchen. 】Harry said,【Are there any dangerous magical creatures that appear in Muggle homes? 】

[Generally, with the control of the Ministry of Magic, dangerous magical creatures will not appear in Muggle gathering areas... And, Harry, I think you are wrong, this should be a family with wizards - see the fireplace Are the jars on?It said Floo powder, used to get through the Floo network, which Muggles don't have. 】

Well, a family with wizards and Muggles, like his and Hermione's.

As Harry thought, his eyes subconsciously fell on the Floo powder Hermione mentioned.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on the burning pile of flames: 【No one is here, but the fireplace is still burning. Aren't they afraid that no one will watch the fire and cause a fire? 】

As Harry said, he walked over and prepared to put out the fire first.

Unattended flames, Floo powder... Hermione's heart skipped a beat, and some kind of vague answer emerged in her mind - but she couldn't see clearly as if through a layer of veil.

【etc!Harry, look by the fireplace! 】

Hermione's reminder made Harry's line of sight and the screen broadcast on the big screen simultaneously show what Harry was looking at: a small pinch of ashes by the fireplace.

[Looks like the wood in the fireplace fell out and burned? 】Harry was uncertain, and muttered again, 【So people must remember to put out the fire before leaving, otherwise the house will be burned down. 】

【No!Harry!That's where the snake crawled! 】Hermione said loudly, 【Fire Snake!There are fire snakes in this house! 】

Ash snakes are created when a pile of magical fire (any fire to which a magical substance has been added, such as floo powder, etc.) burns unchecked for too long.It emerges from unattended flames, swims into the shadows of dwellings, seeks shelter, and leaves a trail of ashes in its wake.

The ash snake is very short-lived, dying after an hour, but within that hour it lays its eggs - and if they are not found in time, they can set homes on fire within minutes.

[Follow the traces of the ashes!This is the trace of the Fire Ash Snake swimming! 】Hermione spoke quickly: If the Ash Snake cannot be found within the time limit, its eggs will burn the house, and by then, no matter whether it is the token inside or Harry, it means that the level has failed !

And just now in order to find the token, they had spent more than half an hour looking through the whole house!

Harry followed Hermione's instructions and began to follow the ashes to find the ash snake—he hadn't forgotten to put out the fire in the fireplace before that.

Soon, he found those fiery snake eggs that were dazzlingly red and glowing hot in a dark corner.

[Harry, you've got to freeze them, or they'll still burn - damn it!You haven't learned the Freezing spell! 】Hermione was almost in a hurry in the assistant's tent,【Watering can't suppress the burning of the ash snake eggs, maybe we can throw them out of the house, the door can't be opened, can the windows be opened Harry——Harry!where are you going! 】

The black-haired, green-eyed boy didn't say much, just used the levitating spell he learned last year to levitate all the ash snake eggs - and made sure that all the eggs in the room had been found and floated - and then he started running Get up, control the eggs and run into the kitchen with him.

In the bright and spacious kitchen, Harry opened the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, threw all the ash snake eggs into it, and closed the refrigerator door.

[Alex is right,] The boy who finished all the work sat down against the refrigerator door exhaustedly, [We each have different ways to pass the level. 】

The branch of the keepsake on his waist floated, and the closed refrigerator door opened automatically (and pushed Harry away), and one of the ash snake eggs that had been frozen in the freezer floated out, along with the branch. When they touched each other, the branch burned into ashes, and the ash snake egg lost its dazzling red and hot light, and turned into a red gemstone like warm jade, which fell into Harry's hand.
