days at Hogwarts

Chapter 155 Dueling Practice and Letter from Ron

"【Armor Protection】"

“[clear water like a spring]”

Loren used the Iron Armor Curse to block the oncoming green curse light, leaving a puddle of water in place.And dodged to avoid the white light of the petrification curse.

Flamel's wand, which looked like Loren, was waving non-stop, suppressing Loren with rhythm, so that he could only dodge and defend, and had no chance to fight back.

The petrification spell, the repelling spell, the stun spell, any one of the spells, will lose the ability to fight on the spot.

"【Armor Protection】"

An Iron Armor Curse bounced the white light of the Petrification Curse. Taking advantage of the gap between Flamel's sideways, Loren used Transfiguration to turn the water into a white mist.

Flamel lost Loren's trace in an instant, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Once he was caught in the gap, he would lose face.

If it wasn't for Loren, he could use the whirlwind to clear the fog in an instant, but there would be a slight stiffness at the junction of the spell and the spell, and gaps would be exposed in the Iron Armor Curse.

He is now fighting at Loren's magical level and cannot use abilities beyond Loren's own.

Under heavy restrictions, the situation has come to a stalemate.

Flamel held up his wand, pointed towards the approximate direction before Loren disappeared, and while slowly backing away, he said loudly: "I know you can already cover your whole body with the Iron Armor Curse, so I can use the Iron Armor Curse all over my body, yes Bar?"

He was just cheating on Loren. In the actual combat couplets during the holidays, Loren always used to use the Iron Armor Curse that could control the direction of the mirror, instead of blessing the armor all over his body.

Flamel didn't understand why Loren had an inexplicable obsession with rebounding, and he didn't know what the so-called "soul-type players' persistence" was.

But from the fact that he had to prepare for three to five seconds to release the Iron Armor Curse, and now he can summon the mirror by raising his hand, he is convinced that Loren's mastery of the Iron Armor Curse can definitely protect his whole body.

But the fog still permeated quietly, and Loren didn't answer.

Flamel pretended to cast an Iron Armor Charm on himself, and then quickly blew away the mist, but his attention was always focused on the mist.

"【armor--"

Before the mantra was finished, a white shadow suddenly shot out from the mist in the front left and shot directly between the eyebrows.Flamel had expected it a long time ago, and instantly stopped the fake movement of chanting the mantra. He twisted his footsteps and slid a few positions to the right to avoid the attacking white shadow.

Whoa!

A jet of water splashed on the ground and wet the ground.

Oops!

Flamel's face changed, but under the influence of inertia, he couldn't completely control his body, and his steps still turned to the right.

"【Shenfeng Wuying】"

An invisible burst of energy came, and Flamel still needed a small step to stop his body.Taking a small step, it was as if he had bumped into the Shenfeng Shadowless Curse on his own initiative.

The energy passed through the chest from the left chest, between the third and fourth ribs, and Flamel stopped in his tracks, with streamers flashing on his body, and he changed back to his silver-haired and silver-eyed image.

He recalled the battle process just now, step by step, reality and fiction, one ring after another, with a gratified smile on his face, and exclaimed: "In terms of combat thinking, you are already better than me."

Loren cast the illusion spell, walked out of the white mist, raised his hand and pointed his wand behind his head, and dispersed the white mist.

He complained dissatisfiedly: "Your settlement animation after defeat is too perfunctory, there is no sense of satisfaction from fighting a boss."

Flamel is used to the weird words that always come out of his mouth, so just ignore them and ignore them.

"Now, let's talk about your shortcomings and mistakes in this battle." Flamel changed his voice, stretched out his hand and projected the image of the previous battle in the air.

It's true naked-eye 3D... Loren watched the battle process carefully, and said proudly: "Placement, rebound, no mistakes, clear the level with full blood, and say yes when the wolf comes."

Flamel pushed the scene to the scene where Loren left water stains and white mist rose: "The disillusionment spell cooperates with the white mist to hide myself and interrupt my spellcasting rhythm. This is a good idea, leaving a water column to attract My focus, too, is wonderful."

"I think so too!" Loren said complacently.

Flamel glanced at him, and said lightly: "But it also exposed the shortcoming of your lack of magic spell reserves. These complicated steps can be easily replaced with a weather spell. The white mist is replaced by cloud, and the attack method The water column is replaced by the lightning in the weather spell, and whether I hide or not, it will not affect the outcome of the battle."

If Flamel hadn't dodged the water jet just now, let the water pour on him, and deployed the Iron Armor Curse, the result might have been different.

Loren put away his smile and acknowledged this.

"Then here is the last place."

The screen changed to a scene where Loren's body was pressed against the body, being pierced by the Shenfeng Shadowless Curse.

Although he just clamored that the settlement animation was not enjoyable, but Loren saw the shocked expression on his face, thinking that it would be even more uncomfortable to use his own image to settle the defeat animation.

Flamel pointed to the wound: "Why are you obsessed with piercing the heart? It would be better to change to a bigger part."

Loren grinned: "I've read a lot of anatomy books recently, and unconsciously, a description that the heart is located between the second to fifth ribs popped up in my mind, and I aimed there."

After mastering a few second-year spells proficiently, Hermione stopped taking him to learn, and strictly forbade him to disturb.Loren could only go for a walk with Hermione after dinner and exchange some spell experience.

Loren, who had free time, started studying anatomy again, understanding the composition of the human body and the functions of various parts.

He didn't know the progress of the Philosopher's Stone. Anyway, when he was practicing with Flamel, he was always used to attacking these places.

"Don't be obsessed with which point you must hit, how convenient it is. If the magic spell is powerful enough, as long as you can hit the target, you can end the battle." Flamel did not delve into this point.

He then switched the screen, and the screen froze when his fingers swiped.

In the image, Loren is picking up a petrification spell with his wand, bending over, stepping forward and back shoulder-width apart, while releasing the Iron Armor Curse, he is ready to dodge to avoid the next spell.

"Here, you could have dodged directly. When you released the Iron Armor Curse, you could attack me with other spells and interrupt my rhythm. Such mistakes happened four times in the battle."

The picture continued to play. In the video, Loren bent down to catch a badminton with an iron armor spell, caught a dim repelling spell, and bounced it back.

And Flamel took the dim repelling spell with his body, only frowned slightly, and didn't respond extraneously.

"Also here, the direction of the repelling spell is too low, you can dodge it by taking a step back. And this spell was issued by me in a hurry in order to maintain suppression. The light is dim and the power is not enough. Even if you let it strike If you hit your foot, it will only hurt a little, and it will not affect the battle."

Speaking of this, Flamel showed a headache expression, "Why do you have to be obsessed with rebounding? Because of these rebounds, the battle time has been extended by at least half."

Loren looked left and right, but didn't look up to see the mistakes on the screen, and began to change the subject: "I have defeated the me you became, how can we practice in the future?"

He can't say that in pursuit of clearing the level with full blood, he will have these redundant movements, as well as his obsession with bouncing back.

Flamel's breath stagnates, you don't plan to change it!

He laughed angrily, and said harshly: "Okay, okay, it seems that you have to teach you a lesson in actual combat before you change."

The image in the midair of the duel practice room flickered and disappeared, Flamel also disappeared in place, and Loren's consciousness was ejected from the book of fantasy.

"For future exercises, I will select some despicable dark wizard images from the database. If you continue to maintain this fighting habit, you will be greeted with the Cruciatus Curse!" Flamel's voice came from the book, with a faint annoyed.

"I'll just change it. I dare to fight like this only after practicing. If it's really a duel, the sooner the better..." Loren muttered, slowly falling asleep.

On the morning of August [-]th, it was a bright morning, and Loren woke up to the sound of an owl knocking on the window pane.

It was a shriveled owl with bulging eyelids, and it was very old.A package was held in its yellowed talons, and its beak kept tapping on the window.

Boom!
dong dong!

Loren felt that the owl's beak might become brittle due to old age and be smashed if it was knocked down again.He hurriedly opened the window, welcomed the owl in, grabbed a handful of nuts from Hanhan's snack bucket and sprinkled them on the table.

The old owl put the package on the table, turned to look at the nuts, then turned back to Loren, with a sad and helpless expression on his face.

Loren pondered for a while, and gave it a piece of soft bread, and the old owl slowly pecked at it.

Opening the package, there was a cardboard box and a letter inside. Even without looking at the contents, the flying and phoenix handwriting on the envelope showed that this was a letter from Ron.

【

Loren:

Happy birthday!George and Fred (a big blot) Let me say hi to you for them.Enclosed is a birthday present,
Just in case, I made a point of sending the letter a day earlier.Hope Errol didn't arrive early or miss your birthday because wacky Percy used his owl all holiday and I had to ask Errol he was so old that I don't know if he could send the letter.Instead of replying immediately, let Errol rest.

Sincerely invite you to the Burrow, my parents would like to thank you very much, George and Fred even want to make up your birthday, they claim to learn how to make cakes from their mother's cookbook.But I have to warn you: don't eat anything they hand you.

I haven't heard back from any of my letters to Harry, if you can get in touch with Harry and help me see if he's having trouble.

Your Best Friend: Ron

】

Loren folded the letter silently, betting a copper Knut that Ron's quill must be too old to use, otherwise there would not be such a big blob of ink on the letter.

Let's talk about the reply tonight. The old owl named Errol should really have a good rest.

Don't eat George and Fred's food, isn't this one of the unspoken rules of Hogwarts that little wizards should know before entering school?
Regarding Harry, Loren was not in a hurry. It should be in the next few days that the Weasley brothers would drive a flying car and bring Harry to The Burrow.

As for Ron's invitation, although he was very interested in The Burrow, but thinking about Grandpa Bates who was so bored to cultivate the land in the backyard and learn baking from TV, Loren planned to refuse the invitation.

Grandpa Bates is so bored, and he still spends the summer with him patiently. We can't leave Grandpa Bates behind and let him become an empty nester.

Another apple was placed beside Errol to keep him from thirst.Loren pressed the letter under a book that had been read many times. Loren turned around, changed his clothes and washed, and started his birthday day.

The morning light shone through the window on the cover page, and the words "Grey's Anatomy" attached to the plastic film shimmered.

"Loren, happy birthday! Come and taste the cake I made!" Bates got up early and was busy in the kitchen.As soon as he saw Loren going downstairs, he called out to stop Loren with a look of joy on his face.

Because it was too boring, Bates first started the plan to green the backyard, planning what trees and flowers to plant with joy, and asked Loren what he wanted to see, and he would definitely plant it.

After he repeatedly plowed loose the hard clods behind the house and in the courtyard, Loren understood the ghostly symbols he had drawn all over the drawings, representing the plane trees, chestnut trees, and cherry trees respectively.

"The best month to transplant most of these trees is November." One sentence delayed Bates' garden dream by three months.

After giving up greenery, Bates learned to bake from cooking shows on TV.But sometimes, baking is like a quantum experiment. The oven is Schrödinger's black box. You will never know what you are making until you open the oven.

At this moment, Loren looked at the dark mass in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"Is this... chocolate cake?" he asked hesitantly.

"No, this is a mulberry cake," Bates said with a smile on his face. "If you want to eat chocolate, I can make it too."

"It's mulberries..." Loren nodded, mulberries are purple, and it's normal to put a little more black.

"Try it quickly, today's breakfast is cake and milk!" Bates couldn't wait to taste the fruits of his labor.

When Loren came out of the bathroom after washing, Bates had already cut the cake and put it on the dinner plate.

"Try it quickly. I woke up early in the morning to make a cake. The recipe was confirmed by me repeatedly. It's no problem. The oven time is also the same as the one taught on TV, and the baked one is also the same as the one on TV..." Bates said. Smiling, he kept introducing the cake making process.

Loren cut a small piece, and the cake rubbed against the knife, making a clicking sound.This texture is not right, Loren's heart sank, but he put the cake into his mouth naturally.

"How is it? There is no problem this time?" Bates waited expectantly for his comment.

"Well, the scent of mulberry is coming out, it tastes good!" Loren kept chewing, but couldn't swallow it.

"Really? I tasted a piece and it was burnt. Do you like it a little burnt? It seems that the same is true for roasted meat." Bates looked at the cake on the plate and said thoughtfully.

"Pooh!"

The idea of ​​tricking Bates into eating it failed, Loren spat out the cake with a bitter face, "You tasted it! Didn't you say it earlier?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"
