Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 981 Trading Surrender

  When did I have such a big card, and I needed the Dark Lord to make a trip in person?

  At this moment, the expression on Albert's face almost didn't tense. He thought that Voldemort would not appear here. After all, there were so many spectators at the duel contest, if Voldemort attacked him personally, it would directly expose the fact that Voldemort was still alive, but the Dark Lord pretended to be someone else.

  You are the Dark Lord, how dare you pretend to be someone else?

   Your dark lord's style has dropped all over the place, okay?

   This is really planning to kill himself openly in a duel!

   If you were killed by your opponent in a duel, you can't blame anyone, let alone reveal Voldemort's identity, let alone dying at the hands of the dark wizard Afjay, it doesn't seem to be a strange thing.

  Who made the black wizard Afjay kill people like hemp!

  Things are bad!

   Albert reached for his wand and placed it on his lap, ready to be prepared for Voldemort to suddenly attack him at any time.

   Fortunately, I am not unprepared.

  Albert let out a light breath, reached out his hand and took out a few fudges from his pocket, peeled off one and chewed it in his mouth, and picked out the fudge hidden in Felicia by the way.

  If possible, Albert really didn't want to face Voldemort so early, because it would be too much of a disadvantage, he didn't have an advantage in all aspects, and he himself was in the developmental stage.

  If you give him another fifteen years, no, ten years, ten years is enough, and when he reaches the peak in all aspects, he will not have a problem fighting Voldemort.

   After all, after ten years of preparation, Albert is confident that he can defeat Voldemort.

   As for now, maybe he can prevent himself from being killed, but... Albert really doesn't like this duel with a very low winning rate and risks.

  Payment is not directly proportional to income.

   At this moment, the mission panel triggered a new mission.

   When Voldemort was held back by the organizer's staff, Albert quickly opened the task panel and glanced at the name of the task: the beginning of the legend.

  He was not in the mood to read the content of the task, and directly scrolled to the end to see the conditions for completing the task: defeat Voldemort and win the game.

  Task reward: 30000 experience, 3 skill points, 2000 reputation in the magic world, and get a designated skill of Voldemort.

   Mission rewards are very rich, but... mission rewards are generally related to the difficulty of the mission, so the difficulty of this mission is quite high. Moreover, the most difficult thing should not be how to defeat Voldemort, but to win the game later.

  If you feed morals to dogs, you can now shout: He is Voldemort.

   Then, dragging the organizers and even all the spectators into the water may still be able to force Voldemort back, but it is estimated that there is no hope of winning, and the competition may be suspended directly.

   In addition to this, there is another rather weird task: the Dark Wizard Buster.

   The condition for completing the task is to defeat the remaining two dark wizards and win the championship of the duel contest.

   The reward experience is not much, but the reputation of the magic world is given 1000 points, and a "Dark Wizard Buster" skill is also given.

   This task is actually very good, and it would be even better if Voldemort was not here.

  However, Albert suspected that the mission was triggered by the appearance of Voldemort.

  He sends a message to Kara, the house-elf outside, and asks the house-elf to make sure that Dumbledore is coming. If Mr. Headmaster comes, tell him about Voldemort.

  As long as Dumbledore came to watch the game, the difficulty for Voldemort to kill Albert would rise sharply.

   As for whether Dumbledore came or not?

  Albert really didn't know, he only knew that Bard invited Dumbledore to watch the duel.

   Ever since the old man knew that Albert was being targeted by Death Eaters, he invited Dumbledore to watch the duel competition together, adding an insurance to Albert's safety.

  The members of the Order of the Phoenix got their tickets from Bud. The tickets for the duel contest are so expensive, who would give them away directly because their relationship is not that good!

  I hope Bud can be more reliable and don't hang the chain.

   Otherwise, I'm afraid we will have to activate a backup plan at that time.

  Just because he couldn't beat Voldemort doesn't mean that the opponent can kill him.

  Albert naturally had his own plans. Voldemort might have expected his strength, but he definitely didn't know his specific strength.

  Of course, this kind of good thing is probably only useful in the first fight, but that is enough.

   Little Barty is the best example. He thought he understood Albert's strength, but he fell into the pit and couldn't get out the first time.

   What's more, he also secretly brought Felicia, which can be used directly when necessary.

  Although they can't show anything in front of absolute strength, it is actually related to the upper limit of the wizard's strength.

  Albert belongs to the type who has strength but is relatively inexperienced, which makes him unable to exert his full strength, and Felix Elixir can just make up for his problems in this regard.

The most important thing is that Albert made a lot of preparations to deal with Voldemort as early as the Triwizard Tournament. Although some things were useless, Voldemort is now single-handedly killing him, and pretending to be someone else. Presumably he didn't want his identity to be revealed.

   What's more, Dumbledore is still here, and the two can join forces when necessary, and they will definitely be able to push back Voldemort.

  Kara quickly sent back the news that Dumbledore had really come, and Albert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  However, Dumbledore's expression in the audience was very serious. If Snape hadn't told him that Voldemort was going to attack Anderson, Dumbledore would never have come here. Originally, he was trying to persuade Albert to give up the game.

  Unfortunately, it was too late when he received the news, and he rushed to Spain, but he couldn't find Albert.

   When Dumbledore saw the house-elf Carla coming to deliver the news to him, he realized that the worst had happened.

  However, he still failed to persuade Albert to give up the game.

  Dumbledore really doesn't understand why Albert took the risk, is it because he is here?

   Or is it true that as Albert said, Voldemort can't do anything about him for a while, maybe he can force Voldemort to show his flaws and completely expose the news of his resurrection to everyone?

   To be honest, this proposal made Dumbledore very hesitant. As long as the news of Voldemort's resurrection was revealed in advance, he would not need to continue to bear so much pressure in the British wizarding world.

"The master gave me other tasks... Please be sure to persuade him to give up the game." Before the house elf left, he took off the communicator on his wrist and handed it to Dumbledore along with the parchment, and then left in a hurry. You need to follow the master's order and take the McDougal sisters back to the safe house.

  Looking at the thing that looked like a Muggle watch in front of him, Dumbledore fell into a brief silence. In the end, he continued to communicate with Albert, and it would be better to persuade him to give up the game.

  Dumbledore carefully looked at the dark wizard named Afjay under the stage. According to the information provided by Albert, this guy is actually Voldemort in disguise?

   To be honest, even Dumbledore couldn't tell.

   "How did you tell?" Dumbledore's eyes fell on the parchment, and he immediately understood what was going on.

   There are two sheets of parchment, the first sheet is densely packed with countless ink dots, but the second sheet is the player rest area, with ink dots marked Albert Anderson on it.

   It seems that Anderson is more cautious than I expected, and now I only hope that his preparations will work!

  Before the duel, the commentator is giving an inspiring speech.

  “…a feast of magic tonight on such a scale that future generations will envy us for witnessing such a remarkable moment!”

   The duel contest kicked off amidst excitement and cheers.

  However, the surrounding noises suddenly disappeared, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Many people stood up in unison, and there were even choking sounds from around, and some audience members even buried their faces in their hands in horror.

  The duel on the stage is over.

   Yes, it's over!

   The two sides only had a round of confrontation, and Pierre, who was favored by countless people, died. He was instantly killed by black magic, and many people were stunned instantly.

Voldemort's casting speed was very fast, and the use of black magic was also clean and neat. The spells of the two sides collided with each other in the air, and then...Pierre was crushed by Voldemort. He almost watched the spells pressing towards him, Even if Pierre declared his surrender directly, it would be too late.

he died.

   Was hit by black magic and died cleanly.

   Even without using the Avada Kedavra Curse, Voldemort can kill people.

   However, for Voldemort, the Avada Kedavra curse is obviously more practical, because as long as the spell hits the target, it can quietly take away the life of the opponent.

  After Voldemort killed his opponent, Dumbledore immediately sent a message to Albert. He still hoped that Albert would give up the game.

  However, the answer I got was still: Don't worry, he won't be able to kill me for a while.

   Dumbledore really didn't know where Albert got his confidence.

  If Mr. Principal knew that Albert's self-confidence was him, he would definitely tell the other party to stop making trouble. He who stayed on the stage couldn't stop all this from happening.

   After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore went directly to the organizer, and he was going to appear under Voldemort's nose to create some pressure on the other party.

   In fact, Dumbledore's face is still very good, except for the British group, everyone is still willing to give him face.

  Although the contestants have signed a magic contract, even if they die in the duel, it has nothing to do with them, but... if it continues, it will definitely affect the holding of the next duel competition.

   No one wants to risk their life to participate in the competition.

  Dumbledore was invited by the organizer to be a special guest, and he will host the game with the referee to avoid similar bad things happening in the future.

  When Albert entered the arena and saw Dumbledore, he knew that he was safe against Voldemort, and now he should focus on dealing with this guy in front of him.

   "Let's make a deal!"

The black wizard Boshwal was not in a hurry, but said to Albert with a smile: "I can take the initiative to admit defeat, but... if you become the runner-up, your runner-up bonus will belong to me. If you become the champion, I will treat you as nothing explain."

   "Just give up like this?" Albert looked at the guy in front of him vigilantly, for fear that he would launch a sneak attack.

"I don't want to go all out with the black wizard Afja, that guy is dangerous, and it's not worthwhile to lose his life. If you want to fight with that guy, I suggest you take my advice and use the best Go face the black wizard Avjay." Poshwal ignored the referee's astonished gaze and the shouts of the audience, and continued, "Think about it, I don't think this will do you any harm!"

   "You have a lot of ideas. I agree. Are you not afraid that I will regret it?" Albert did not refuse. It would be better if the opponent surrendered directly, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't surrender.

   "Dumbledore, you should have heard it too!" Bocival said to the old man, "You are a witness."

   Dumbledore nodded expressionlessly.

  The second duel, just under the internal transaction, ended when Poshvar chose to surrender.

   Of course, what greeted them was a huge pile of garbage and angry expletives.

   Everyone was very dissatisfied and shouted for the organizer to refund the money.

  They spent so much money to see the wonderful duel contest finals, not to see these things.

   "I like when they are furious, but they look like I can't help it."

  Poshwal still had a smile on his face, not caring about someone throwing things at him.

   Well, even if an emotional audience casts the Arrow Curse on him, he still has a smile on his face, no matter what, this trip is not a bad one.

   To put it bluntly, dark wizards are willing to participate in the competition, and most of them come for money.

   "Mr. Bocival, are you sure you want to give up the game?" The referee asked with a dark face.

   "Yes, I will give up later." Poshwal said with a smile, "I remember players can surrender!"

   "Of course, but if you just give up like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue participating in the International Wizarding Duel Competition." The referee reminded with a dark face.

   No matter how you look at it, this time the game was screwed up.

  If the tickets are refunded, it is estimated that a lot of money will be lost, and it is impossible not to refund the tickets for everyone, if they don't want word of mouth.

   You must know that tickets to the finals of the Duel Tournament are far more expensive than the previous two games. Logically speaking, it should be the most exciting match, but a lot of **** happened in the end.

   "I definitely don't want to die in vain. By the way, I suggest you persuade that kid, an excellent young man, it's a pity to die like this." Bocival also didn't think Anderson could beat the black wizard Afja.

   It's just that these words don't sound like what a dark wizard would say, but, maybe Pocival just made a fortune, and he's in a very good mood!

  The wizard's expression twitched, but after much hesitation, he still planned to negotiate with Albert.

  Of course they know about Albert Anderson, a fairly well-known genius in many fields.

   It's just that no one really knows what Albert Anderson's dueling level is, but in the dueling competition, Anderson undoubtedly showed amazing talent and strength. He felt that such a person really shouldn't die here, at least Dumbledore didn't want him to die here, so the old man took the initiative to take the position of special guest.

   "You really don't intend to give up. There is no shame in giving up the game voluntarily, and there is no need to take risks. Your life is worth more than ten thousand Galleons."

   "I never thought I would lose!" Albert refused, "I will go all out when the time comes, I'm afraid you have to pay attention to the aftermath of the battle." The referee persuaded earnestly.

  The organizer's referee cast a beseeching look at Dumbledore. Today's situation is so bad. Instead of dying, it is better to give the trophy and bonus to the black wizard Afjar directly.

  Of course, there is another reason. The gambling house mentioned it before, saying that as long as they can persuade Albert to give up the game, they are willing to help pay half of the championship prize.

  However, Albert still decided to touch Voldemort. He wants to grow, and the process cannot be avoided. When it is relatively safe, it is a good choice.
