Chapter 449: Les: The Hunting Time Has Begun

Thanks to Rice's words and deeds, Astoria is definitely one of the contestants who hates the Secret Order the most. Coupled with the arrogant attitude of the person in front of her, she can hardly suppress her murderous intent.

"Very good eyes, I like it." The young monk of the Secret Order naturally caught the change in Astoria's eyes. Not only did he not feel angry about it, but he looked happier.

"I saw the process of you hunting the black dragon just now. I have to say that you are indeed on the right path." The young monk expressed his approval of Astoria's performance.

This made Astoria even more angry: Who are you? Are you qualified to guide me? !

The young monk didn't care about Astoria's emotional changes at all. He said to himself: "Blood accounts for about 1/13 of human body weight. What an interesting number! The gods in the dark have pointed out the importance of blood for us. Blood carries life. Whoever controls blood controls life and death-"

At this point, he tapped his forehead lightly, as if he suddenly reacted.

"Oh! Did I forget to introduce myself? I neglected it. You can call me [Capricorn]"

Astoria narrowed her eyes slightly. She had heard about this code name from Les before, and she also knew that the Secret Order had sent Capricorn to lead two other monks to invade Hogwarts.

Of course, they are all dead.

"It's really unlucky to take a dead person's name." Astoria ridiculed Capricorn without hesitation, and the other party's face became extremely ugly.

After a few seconds, he said in a muffled voice: "Grandfather's matter... was just an accident."

"Grandfather?" Astoria raised her eyebrows. It turned out that the young man in front of her was the grandson of the Secret Order monk who invaded Hogwarts in the past. No wonder he was eager to inherit the name of Capricorn. However, since the Secret Order allowed him to inherit this name, it means that his strength has reached a considerable level-at least he has fused a divine body.

After learning that the girl in front of him actually knew about his grandfather, Capricorn's mood changed subtly.

What he wanted now was more than the dragon heart in Astoria's hand.

His face turned red, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body.

The knights around him suddenly felt a throbbing in their hearts, and had the urge to kowtow to the young man in front of them.

Astoria was no exception, but she slightly stirred the blood in her body to speed up the flow, and then forcibly dispelled this strange feeling of worship.

"You retreat, the current dispute is not something you can intervene in." Astoria glanced at the knights around her, and asked them to retreat in a deep voice, and used the power of blood manipulation to influence them.

The knights then broke away from the strange state and scattered to both sides as if they were facing a great enemy.

Capricorn sneered: "It's better to let them stay here and serve as your ammunition depot. Blind kindness will only kill you."

As he said, some small scales gradually grew on his face.

Astoria would not be fooled by him. She felt that if these knights stayed a little longer, they would be completely controlled by the monk in front of them and become his meat shield.

"What an ugly thing." The wand slid into her hand, and Astoria fired an attack magic at Capricorn without hesitation, and tried to use her blood field to interfere with the opponent while firing the spell.

Capricorn turned sideways and easily dodged Astoria's attack magic. He even had the mind to laugh at him: "You have the ability to control blood, right? A very powerful ability. It's a pity that I can restrain you completely, because I have a drop of God's blood in my body!"

Astoria sighed secretly, and waved her empty hand behind her. The black dragon lying on the ground stood up all of a sudden, and the flesh on its body filled up again-Astoria injected the dragon blood hidden in the soil into the black dragon's body again, and used the blood to control the black dragon's body.

"The real battle has begun!" The black dragon pounced on Capricorn, and Astoria's spell followed him like a shadow.

Capricorn's eyes condensed, and his expression became solemn: the current situation was a little beyond his control.

At the same time, other contestants also began their actions.

Cedric stood on the shoulders of a huge native, looking at the fire dragon lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked down at the natives who fought side by side with him, and smiled gently.

"The battle is over."

"The battle is over." Hermione's figure disappeared for a moment, and then reappeared in the same place. The dragon that was still showing off its might just now had become a corpse.

The bloody dragon heart in her hand seemed to have stopped beating for a long time.

Daphne stood in front of the charred corpse of the dragon, her face solemn.

"I accidentally used too much strength... Does the broken dragon heart still count?"

No one could answer her question.

Neville Longbottom lay on the steaming ground and gasped, and the air around him was filled with the smell of blood and disgusting barbecue.

"The battle is over." A pale face appeared in Neville's vision. Neville remembered that this person was a wizard in the team, but he couldn't remember the name.

But as he said, the battle was over.

Some players have completed the main task. The best of them chose to act alone and kill the target dragon with their own hands, but more people chose to cooperate with the local natives and fight side by side.

Some players succeeded, while others failed.

It doesn't matter if they fail, as long as they can evacuate from the dragon's territory. They can continue to seek help from the natives, or they can reunite with the players in the same group before making a decision.

Outside the stadium, the Hogwarts Quidditch stadium was full of people.

In addition to the teachers and students of Hogwarts, many people from other magic schools also came to watch the game. Under the leadership of their respective principals, they formed small squares and looked for the figures of their school players on the screen in the stands.

From time to time, there was a burst of exclamation in the stadium because of the excellent operation of a player, and from time to time, there was a sigh because of the mistakes of a player.

The seriousness of everyone watching the game was no less than watching the Quidditch World Cup.

In the corner of the stands, Helga and Rowena sat together, admiring their masterpieces.

"You are amazing. You actually thought of letting these children hunt a fire dragon." Helga couldn't help but complain. In her opinion, this main task was a bit beyond the scope.

A powerful magical animal like a fire dragon requires multiple adult wizards to work together to subdue it. If you want to kill it, you need more efforts. For a group of students who have not yet graduated from school, the difficulty of this challenge seems to be a bit beyond the standard.

Rowena looked at her old friend calmly.

"I think the difficulty is very reasonable." She carefully analyzed what countermeasures there are if the strength is not enough.

"You can seek help from the natives, you can team up with other players, and I even gave them a month. If you can't complete the task under such conditions, you'd better come back to watch the game as soon as possible." Rowena's attitude is very clear.

She just wants to eliminate all the players who are not worthy of participating in the competition in the first stage. In the second stage, she will start to increase the difficulty of the trial and provide some benefits to the players who pass the trial.

"By the way, do you have the data of the contestants here?" Helga asked in a low voice.

She didn't believe that Rowena didn't leave a backdoor in the crystal ball.

"Of course, let me see..." Rowena took out a crystal ball of the same model as the contestants, put her hand on it, and closed her eyes to control it.

"Among the contestants of Hogwarts, Astoria Greengrass, Daphne Greengrass, Hermione Granger, and Cedric Diggory have all completed the task..."

"Only these few people?" Helga asked in astonishment.

It's too unreasonable without Salazar, right? What is the old viper doing?

"Oh! There is another one!"

Helga thought that this person was the old viper under the alias of Les Lint, but she didn't expect Rowena to spit out a name that made her a little unbelievable.

"Neville Longbottom, I remember he is also a student of Hogwarts, right?"

Helga: ? ? ?

"Yes, but this is a bit too incredible..." Helga muttered to herself.

Neville Longbottom passed the main task assessment, and Salazar still failed to pass the assessment. It was hard to say which of the two things surprised her more.

After telling Rowena about her opinion of Neville Longbottom, Helga sighed and said that she might have made a mistake.

Neville is an extraordinary child.

He has the quality of gold. It's just that this beautiful quality was wrapped in a mediocre stone shell before and could not be revealed.

'I hope this competition can be like a grinding wheel, grinding away your ordinary shell and allowing you to be completely reborn. ' Helga prayed sincerely for Neville in her heart.

Rowena was completely indifferent.

In her opinion, her assessment was as simple as it could be, it was simply an open-book exam. What was there to be proud of for the candidates to pass such an assessment?

Salazar deserved her attention, because he was carrying more important things. I hope he has completed the task she assigned to him.

At this time, Rowena's expression suddenly became playful.

"What's wrong?" Helga noticed the change in her friend's expression.

"Someone is trying to crack the crystal ball."

"Who is so bold?"

"Salazar."

"That's fine."

Rowena understood that Salazar should want to obtain information about the players through the crystal ball, or even contact the players through it. And in the process of investigation, she also found a very interesting detail.

Salazar's location overlapped with the location of a player from the Secret Society.

This is really interesting.

Rowena swore to God that she really didn't tamper with the grouping of the players. The fact that the monk from the Secret Society was assigned to Salazar's group only showed that his luck was ridiculously bad.

"I have to make some fun for Salazar." Rowena didn't hesitate and started to tamper with her crystal ball.

Rice felt that he was about to break the spell on the crystal ball.

At the moment the spell was broken, Rice's hand suddenly bounced off the crystal ball.

"What happened?" Godric asked puzzledly.

Les was silent for two seconds, then told him that he was shocked.

Godric: ???

"Is this the crystal ball's defense mechanism?"

"Not sure."

But Les knew what was going on immediately, because he saw Rowena's face in the crystal ball - to be precise, it was the face of Aries.

"Salazar, you look very relaxed! Do you know that several Hogwarts students have completed the main task, even Neville Longbottom has completed the task, but your task is still not completed here. What have you been doing these days?"

Les was furious when he said this.

He was probably the first to complete the task, but he had to redo the task because he didn't take out the dragon heart. Who can bear this?

After he vented his dissatisfaction, Rowena frowned.

"Maybe you completed the task too quickly, and the main task hadn't been issued at that time."

Les: ...

"After all, under normal circumstances, no contestant will be sent directly to the dragon's lair."

Les: . . .

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to continue talking nonsense with you. Things are a bit tricky. There are too many strong people in your alchemy world now..." Les counted on his fingers: the four dragon kings, the pope, the emperor, the chief magician, and the gods who are suspected to exist. It seems that he has too many people to fight.

Rowena on the other side of the crystal ball fell into silence, so much so that Les once thought that the picture transmitted by the crystal ball was stuck.

"Help me, Mr. Salazar!" Rowena's voice came through the crystal ball.

Les was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he slowly said: "I forgot to tell you that Godric is also here, but you can't see him because I summoned him with the resurrection stone ring."

The picture on the other side of the crystal ball was completely disconnected.

Les smacked his lips and called up the locations of the remaining six secret order monks from the crystal ball.

Then he noticed the location that almost overlapped with Astoria.

"Interesting, let's start from here!" Les began to meditate with his eyes closed, silently sketching the coordinates of the secret order monk in his mind.

The next second, with a bang, he disappeared from the tavern.

"Hu...Hu..." Astoria panted, her face extremely pale.

Capricorn on the opposite side was not much better. The clothes on his upper body had been completely shattered, his skin was covered with scales, and one hand hung at his side at a strange angle, looking broken.

There was a big hole on his stomach, which was injured by the attack magic stored in Astoria's necklace.

"It looks like I'm going to fight to the death..." He showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then completely let go of the control of the blood of God.

The monk's momentum began to surge, the wound on his stomach was healing rapidly, and the broken arm was connected by itself.

The blood of the gods stimulated the potential in his body and stimulated all the vitality in his life.

Thirty seconds! The winner must be decided within thirty seconds! Capricorn's eyes were extremely sharp.

Seeing this, Astoria also realized that the moment of the decisive battle had arrived, and she also raised her wand-

Snap!

There was a sudden explosion in the air, and then a figure appeared next to the monk. Before the monk could react, there was a hole on his forehead.

His rising momentum suddenly stopped, and his life dissipated.

Capricorn was killed by Les.

After throwing the monk's body aside, Les smiled at Astoria.

"The hunting time has begun."
