Hogwarts Card System - Chapter 477
c454 Sacrifice Balrog
Smaug the dragon!
In the world of Lord of the Rings, the last giant dragon in Middle-earth once occupied the Lonely Mountain, a kingdom of dwarves, wiped out the dwarves there, and took a large amount of gold treasures for himself.
It turned out that more than two years ago, this giant dragon had already come to this world due to the intrusion of another world.
However, at that time, because the process of entering the other world was too smooth and gentle, it did not wake up the sleeping Smaug.
Just like that, he went from sleeping on a pile of gold to a pile of rocks.
The foreign goblins who are now in charge of Gringotts are all the remnants of various countries gathered together. Even if their hands and feet are not clean, they are really greedy!
How do you say that? Scared of poverty! I didn’t dare to spend a penny! They all had their leeks cut off!
In order to prevent the matter from being exposed and Voldemort taking advantage of them all, they wanted to settle the accounts.
I heard there was a dragon!
That’s when the idea came to me.
There used to be a dragon in Gringotts. If there was another dragon now, wouldn’t it restore tradition?
That would make sense if he suffered a lot of losses due to a big commotion by the dragon.
So it was arranged: You, go and attract the dragon!
Good guy, it really attracted me!
It turned out to be a bit of a surprise—a big surprise.
I had thought about finding a dragon to cause trouble before, but I didn’t expect it to be too big. Hundreds of goblins were killed and more than thirty of them were killed. Gringotts was overturned by Smaug and directly occupied it!
Once people come, they don’t leave.
The Voldemorts are in Hogsmeade and are about to go to war to eliminate these guys who are still stubbornly resisting.
As a result, this kind of news came to him from behind?
Voldemort’s expression at that time was terrifying. No one around me dared to speak.
After half a minute, Voldemort said: “Don’t worry about those goblins, knock down Hogwarts first. When I return to London, I will make them look good! Don’t you like gold? Then stay with gold forever.” !”
After so many years, Voldemort is still very strategic. He didn’t change his mind because of the unexpected dragon robbery.
The boy named Epiphanes could no longer be given time to grow up.
If there are any signs of this, it must be eliminated as soon as possible.
As for Gringotts, losing a little gold is nothing.
Voldemort brought with him manpower, monsters of all sizes, dementors, giants, vampires, everything they could find, to complete the battle.
Forgetting that little bit of unhappiness, he grinned on the high hill and looked at Hogwarts with great interest, which had put up a magic shield.
This place where I went to school has brought me so much happiness.
…
Just when the war was about to start in the UK, Grindelwald, who was far away in Africa, also did something very important.
At the beginning, there was a large-scale alien invasion here. It was a huge and complex mountain tunnel kingdom in a mountain range.
This place also came here from the Lord of the Rings world and is called the Mines of Moria.
At first, this place was filled with various orcs, goblins, and trolls, numbering in the tens of thousands!
After Grindelwald briefly cleaned up, he sealed the place completely. Because he discovered that there was an evil and powerful magic wave in the depths of the mine. There must be some terrible monster.
But at this time, when the war was about to start, Ted and Grindelwald appeared here.
“Is this the Balrog you mentioned?” Grindelwald asked.
“That’s right.” Ted nodded.
“Albus needs it?”
“It needs to be killed. The world of the living and the world of the dead are balanced. If someone wants to come out from there, they have to send someone similar from here.”
“Then do it quickly. Don’t delay the battle at Hogwarts!”
Even among the Lord of the Rings, this Balrog is not considered a low-level creature. It is also a legendary monster.
It and the dragon Smaug may be the strongest individual units in the alien world so far.
Of course, there may be others, but they haven’t been discovered yet, such as in the vast sea…
Hogwarts is a magic school with a thousand-year heritage.
Although it is a school, when the site was selected for construction, it was very particular. Because the witch hunt was intensifying, the castle was designed to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Although entering from the school entrance, there is a flat plain, but that is the part of the campus that was later expanded. If we only count the castle, the terrain is really dangerous.
There is a rift valley cliff in front, which requires a long covered bridge to cross.
To the side and back is the huge and vast Black Lake, and on the other side is dozens of kilometers of forbidden forest.
The castle is located on a man-made hill cliff, which can be said to be quite safe.
If individual enemies infiltrate, they can still choose to lurk in through some secret passage, but if there is a large group of people, they can only attack head-on.
However, these are all said under conditions of equal strength.
If the opponent has a legendary wizard like Voldemort who has broken the world’s upper limit to take action, then these conditions are not enough to rely on.
However, Voldemort is now proud of his status, so naturally he cannot be the pioneer and lead the way for his subordinates.
He is being reserved now, no! He has always been extremely arrogant and reserved. Although he is often moody and difficult to understand, most of the time, he is very concerned about face.
For example, now, with a slight wave of his hand, the bloody dark marks on the foreheads of the monsters under him stood out, as if they were breaking through their flesh and blood and jumping out of their foreheads.
Those giants, vampires, ogres, trolls, trolls, etc. immediately held their heads and roared like crazy, and then rushed towards the distant castle desperately.
The school has already prepared for this battle. It can be said that it is all-or-nothing.
The monsters rushed out of the formation here, and there was action on the other side of the castle.
The magic power in the giant protective shield that enveloped the entire castle moved along a certain route. The hundreds of statues and stone carvings around the castle came to life one after another, jumping down from their respective walls and stone platforms, and standing in front of the castle. They formed a formation in front of the long covered bridge.
At the same time, on the land around the castle, small pebbles trembled on the ground. A large amount of soil began to wrap those specially treated “pebbles”, and soon formed clay figures one by one – the lower body was a ball. Mud is connected to the earth and has very good resilience.
After all, the activated statue is an old method left behind for thousands of years. Even if it is strengthened, it is already outdated.
This emerging clay figurine can be said to be advanced, integrating runes, magic, magic circles, and alchemy. Although it is not high-end, it is a highly complex new type of magic puppet.
Compared with the tough and hard stone sculptures, the clay figures are feminine and difficult to control. When the two work together, the effect is very good.
The five-meter-tall giant with long legs and long steps, holding a big mallet made of a tree trunk about three meters long, and wearing simple rags, was the first to rush over.
Under the urging of Voldemort’s spells, these monsters have lost their minds in pain and can only follow the guidance of the Dark Mark. There is no possibility of cheating, and of course there is no possibility of cooperation.
The giant rushed over first, and was also the first to be hit. He stepped on the covered bridge, and countless rock spikes suddenly shot up from the entire covered bridge. They were as thick as an ordinary person’s thigh and more than half a meter long.
It directly pierced the giant’s big feet!
“Uh ah ah~” The giant still felt pain, but the mark on its head hurt more, and the pain on its feet was not so obvious. It actually pulled out the pierced big feet and stepped on the spikes all the way. With dirty blood, they rushed toward the stone man on the other side of the bridge!
Behind it were several other giants, two or three trolls, and a few trolls, all of which had long legs and could run fast. Further away are other monsters, so vast!
A rune suddenly gathered on the magic shield, and then a large number of ice cubes, ice knives, ice arrows and ice spikes flew towards the covered bridge.
These large ice cubes and skates, which would be fatal to ordinary people, were not fatal to the giant. Even though dozens of ice cubes hit him in a few seconds, their skin and flesh were almost torn apart, and all the blood flowed out. Hanging on the body and freezing.
But this sharp pain and coldness seemed to relieve the terrible pain on his forehead, making it much more comfortable.
Giant: More to come! Hit me! Hit me hard!
The same was true for the other two giants behind it. They just stepped on the rock spikes on the ground and rushed over. Under the baptism of the ice and snowstorm, they moved forward with difficulty.
The giant at the front was once the chief of a giant tribe. He had the highest physical fitness and magic resistance.
It endured all kinds of blows and came to the other end of the covered bridge. It raised the huge mallet in its hand and smashed it hard towards the activated statue.
But those clay figurines took the lead in blocking the way, and even under the influence of magic power, several of them gathered together and turned into a large clay figurine about three meters long, and they took this stick!
How heavy was the blow from the giant chief when he was in so much pain? A thousand pounds of strength is not enough to describe it.
The upper body of the clay figure was almost smashed, and a large amount of mud was splashed more than ten meters away in an instant.
But at the same time, several clay figures swarmed up to the giant’s legs, pounced upwards, and turned into large pieces of sticky mud, sticking the giant’s calves in place.
The living statue knew no fear, and did not hesitate even when faced with such a five-meter-tall giant. Immediately, three or four slender stone men jumped into the air.
Like the nimble swallow, it jumped directly to the height of the giant’s face, and stabbed him in the face with the spear in his hand!
Although the giant waved and slapped two of them away, a stone man still stabbed one of the giant’s big eyes with a spear, and blood and strange liquid suddenly burst out amidst the screams…
At this time, a magical structure like a magnifying glass suddenly appeared on the protective shield. A bright light appeared on the magnifying glass. In the blink of an eye, a blazing light flew out and penetrated the chest of the other giant.
A hole as big as an ordinary person’s fist wouldn’t be a serious injury to a giant, if it hadn’t pierced and scorched the heart.
The giant fell with a crash, and then fell headlong off the covered bridge into a crack dozens of meters deep below.
This huge blazing light, even a giant can’t stand it for a while!
…
In just five or six minutes after the battle began, Voldemort and others were on a high hill in the distance and saw four or five changes and usage methods of this huge protective circle, which made them dumbfounded.
Even Voldemort kept silent – no wonder these few cloves of garlic under his command failed so miserably. These mediocre and incompetent British wizards actually came up with such amazing things?
In fact, this magic circle can be said to be the master of the magic system after entering from another world!
The concept of mythical locks in elven magic, the rune strengthening system of dwarves, the magic engineering of dwarfs, the magic workshop and enchantment structure of the moon-shaped world provided by Ted, the runes and hex core of Valoran continent – still The improved version, which has been studied and pondered by hundreds of thousands of players for more than a year, combines the original protective magic of Hogwarts with the largest magic network hub in the UK under the school.
This thing can already be said to be war magic! Its functions are so powerful and diverse that it is almost impossible for an individual wizard to handle them.
But how can I put it, this thing still has a fatal weakness, which is strength.
There are limits to the amount of magic it can withstand and output. If it is under the limit, it will be difficult to defeat the saturation attack, because there is a continuous supply of magic power from the magic network below.
But if there is extremely powerful magic to break the surface, it will be easily broken.
Of course, this point is not easy to find.
Didn’t Voldemort now send a large number of cannon fodder to test the changes in this magic circle, hoping to see through the core and flaws of the magic circle from the sidelines?
Ten minutes passed, and almost all the large cannon fodder that rushed quickly had been eliminated. The huge corpse fell to the ground and could be used as a bunker.
At Hogwarts, everyone’s confidence has greatly increased. After all, this magic circle looks much more powerful than the one built in Hogsmeade.
One or two hundred monsters died on the other side, and more than thirty stone men were smashed on one’s side. Although the clay figures suffered greater losses, they are all recovering.
As long as the “stone” the size of a chess piece is not completely shattered, this thing can rely on the school’s magic power to continuously recover!
The blue hemispherical magic shield is like a bowl, holding Hogwarts Castle in it. Magic spells are hitting it every second outside, but it can only cause a little ripple.
In the one-meter-thick magic barrier, there is magic power that runs along the same route as a circuit board, and various runes appear and disappear in strings to achieve various magic effects.
Ice, fire, storm, various blessings and debuffs… give people an extremely powerful sense of security!
This is simply a magical miracle!
At this time, the little wizards in the school were extremely proud – this is Hogwarts! Don’t even think about destroying our school!
…
In Africa, Ted and Grindelwald finally subdued the Balrog.
This thing looks like a roughly humanoid monster formed by shadows and flames, and you can also see two curved horns on its ferocious head.
Its weapons are whips and swords formed from flames.
Even if you are motionless, the hot air around you can cause severe burns. Leaves burning footprints even on rocks!
However, what it has to face are two legendary wizards after all.
One person is the magic web weaver who controls half of the world by covering the magic web network.
One person has mastered the power of many people and gathered the magic power of tens of thousands of wizards under his command.
It only took Ted and the two of them seven or eight minutes to subdue the flame monster.
Ted directly used a huge ice block to freeze it inside.
“What should we do next?” Grindelwald asked.
“Kill it as a sacrifice,” Ted replied.
“And Albus can come back to life?”
“It depends on what the situation is over there.”
Ted and the others could only say that they had done everything they could, but they could only help Dumbledore a little more. He did not dare to say whether they could return.
After all, I don’t know what the situation is over there.
Unless I go there in person one day, or cover it with the magic net, how can it be a joke to separate the yin and yang?
…
Under Nagini’s guidance, Neville began to run quickly, and he kept running, and he didn’t know how long he ran.
It seemed as if there was no end in this direction, just a vast expanse of white.
This reminded Neville of his first two years at Hogwarts, when he followed Ted to run around the Black Lake for fitness, and successfully ran around the lake for the first time.
At that time, he seemed to have lost consciousness at the end of the run, and his entire thinking activities had stopped, but his body was still running.
When I woke up, I had already run a lap. It was a feeling and achievement I had never experienced before.
I ran and ran, and finally things seemed to change around me!
First, there was a hardened roadside on the ground, which gradually turned into a concrete road, and some man-made traces began to appear around it.
Neville was refreshed and continued running.
Soon, he discovered that there were more and more artificial traces, like a sketch, with more and more content appearing.
He felt that this picture was very familiar, and suddenly an idea came to him – the station! This is a train station! It’s King’s Cross!
When he realized that this was King’s Cross Station, he didn’t know when he stopped, and the surroundings had completely transformed into King’s Cross Station in London.
It just seems like the exposure is set too high, everything is too bright.
King’s Cross Station, platform nine and three-quarters, this is the starting point for Hogwarts!
“Neville, you succeeded! You found the way!” Nagini’s voice sounded.
“Road? Is this the road?” Neville was a little confused.
Suddenly Nagini shouted: “Someone! Who?”
Neville turned around and saw a tall figure walking over not far away.
Long white hair, white beard, white robe, tall and an old and familiar face.
“Dumbledore?! Dumbledore!” Neville shouted uncontrollably.
“Oh, Neville, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Dumbledore smiled.
“You’re not dead? Dumbledore, are you not dead?” Neville was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
“Oh, to be precise, you and I are both dead. But not completely dead,” Dumbledore said.
He pointed to the railway under the platform in front of him: “Look, if we go over there, we will go to another world and start another journey. But if we choose to go back…”
“We will be resurrected!” Neville replied.
“That’s right. Generally speaking, the souls who come here have only one way to go down, and some choose to wander around and become ghosts. But we have another choice.”
At this time, a faint cough suddenly sounded.
“Is there anyone else?!” the little snake Nagini screamed.
Meeting Dumbledore here already surprised her. Why was there still someone there?
Neville looked at the source of the coughing sound – the bench seat on one side.
It seems that a red thing can be seen in the gap between the wooden seats, which is particularly conspicuous in this pure white world.
When he saw it clearly, he was shocked: “What kind of monster is this?!”
Dumbledore turned his head and looked at what looked like a skinned deformed monster under the bench seat, “This is poor Tom, he tore his soul into pieces, this is part of it… …”
