Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

While the hundred wizards in the 【Battlefield】 instance were engaged in a back-and-forth fight.

Anduin, in a good mood, strolled over to the training square, ready to observe everyone's enthusiasm for the new instance.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the live broadcast screen, which displayed the siege warfare scene.

The two sides were fighting fiercely inside the gate's city wall, and the onlookers were extremely excited, as if they were the ones fighting on the front line.

"Look! Harry and the others used high-altitude bombing to wipe out most of the defenders on the city wall. Will the attacking side be able to take the gate in one go?"

Among the crowd, a student enthusiastically commentated on the scene on the big screen, his voice full of fervor. This was Lee Jordan from the 4th grade. Anduin remembered that he seemed to be the Weasley twins' roommate and also the commentator for the Quidditch matches. It was clear that he had a solid foundation in commentary.

"Not so!"

Lee Jordan watched the screen intently, while talking non-stop, "The defenders revived and reinforced very quickly. It seems that there is no vacuum in command after Wood's death!"

"However, the attacking wizards are also performing very stubbornly. They have captured two stone houses on the first level of the city wall as their base, and seem to be planning to use this as a base to continue the stalemate with the defenders."

"Oh! The attacking side's air force is swooping down again, but they are not dropping bombs. Instead, they are directly crossing the city wall and rushing towards the defenders' command post. Are they planning to take advantage of the defenders being dragged down by the city wall to launch a sneak attack on the target?"

Lee Jordan was startled by the intense battle situation in the live broadcast.

"Oh no, Harry and the others have been discovered by the defenders' reserve team arranged in the rear. They are using scatter cannons to counterattack the air force!"

"Ouch!" Lee Jordan showed a look of regret, "The air force was ambushed, and instantly lost 4 flying brooms. It seems that they will not be able to continue the attack."

"Oh?" Lee Jordan pointed to another split screen and exclaimed, "There seems to be another change in the city wall. The attacking wizards have deployed a temporary revival point inside the stone house they occupied!"

"This is a great weapon. In the first stage, they relied on this device to turn defeat into victory. Next, the attacking wizards will definitely use it to revive faster inside the city wall."

"So, what should the defenders do in this situation? Are they just going to let the other side take the city wall in one go?"

Lee Jordan's voice gradually rose with the constantly changing situation, "As the two sides continue to trade lives, more and more attacking wizards are directly revived under the city wall. How should the defenders respond?"

"Ah!" As if seeing something incredible, Lee Jordan suddenly shouted, "A group of large snakes suddenly appeared in the rear of the defenders. They curled up their bodies like tires and rushed into the room snatched by the attacking side."

"They exploded! Those tire-like snakes exploded! The attacking wizards suffered heavy casualties, and the temporary revival point that had just been deployed was also destroyed."

"It's over… Percy saw that the situation was gone and issued an order to suspend the attack. The defending side has defended this battle!"

Lee Jordan waved his fist excitedly, and the surrounding little wizards also shouted wonderfully, and couldn't help but discuss the various tactics and props used by both sides.

Seeing everyone so excited, Anduin nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time, he paid more attention to Lee Jordan.

This guy's ability is very outstanding, and his emotional commentary is very persuasive. Because of his existence, the live broadcast has become more interesting.

"He's a good talent. In addition, I should put more energy into the live broadcast. The existing built-in camera positions are too rigid. Perhaps I should organize a live broadcast operation team that integrates commentary, introduction, and screen switching."

Anduin thought for a while in his heart, and then he went to check the situation of 【Hell Racing】, and then he was a little surprised to see the Weasley twins in the crowd there.

"Didn't you two join the 【Battlefield】 instance?" Anduin approached the two from behind and suddenly interjected.

"Ah!" The twins were startled by Anduin's sudden appearance.

Then George scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, we got up late and didn't catch up with the first echelon to enter the instance."

Then Fred couldn't help but take over, "But we tried 【Hell Racing】 and found that this instance is also very interesting. We can drive magic cars freely in different maps."

"And you can also pick up various props on the track. It's so exciting." George patted his chest confidently, "Professor, I found that my driving skills are quite good. I won the first place in the first race."

"I was second!" Fred quickly added, "And if George hadn't been lucky enough to get an acceleration prop before the finish line, the champion should have been mine!"

"Luck is also part of the skill." George curled his lips triumphantly, and then looked at Anduin ingratiatingly, "This instance is good in every way, but the prizes in the exchange list are too expensive. A modified new car costs thousands of points, and I only get 200 points for winning a championship."

"And the new car exchanged can only be used in the instance." Fred also complained, and couldn't help but lean to Anduin's ear and mutter, "Big brother, can you secretly get us a good car? I fancy that color-changing 【Moon Shadow】."

"Just treat it as an advance!" George also kept instigating from the side, "Let us experience it in advance, and Fred and I will make up the points in the future, how about it?"

"Not good…" Anduin rolled his eyes at the two, "Why don't you learn the good things, but learn to go through the back door? And have you two forgotten what happened on the way to France? I can allow you to enter this instance, which is already a special case!"

After saying that, Anduin raised his hand and gave the twins a big slap on the back of their heads, which made them squat on the ground and scream.

And when they saw Anduin's fierce eyes, they were immediately frightened and quieted down.

Anduin saw the two in such a miserable state, and was too lazy to continue to scold them.

However, judging from the reactions of the two, 【Hell Racing】 is still very popular among the little wizards, and everyone's acceptance of magic cars is also very good.

After laying the groundwork for the little wizards in advance, it is expected that there will be less unnecessary resistance when magic cars are launched in the future.

During the on-site observation, Anduin suddenly found a special guy who was also in the crowd.

"Severus, I didn't expect to meet you here." Anduin saw Snape mixed in the crowd in front of the battlefield instance live screen.

It was really rare to see him here. Snape had always disdained Anduin's instances, especially after experiencing 【Despair Town】, he did not hide his disgust.

Snape also did not expect to meet Anduin, and his face suddenly became a little unnatural, but soon he returned to that constipated expression.

"This is my territory, isn't it normal for me to come here?" Anduin noticed Snape's strangeness and couldn't help but tease, "I didn't expect my new instance to be more attractive than I imagined, and it even attracted you."

"Hmph, who cares about your broken instance?" Snape pouted dissatisfiedly, "I'm just curious why these little devils are gathering here early in the morning. With so many people gathered together, aren't you afraid of something happening?"

However, although Snape said so, his eyes were still honestly glancing at the live screen.

"Is that so? Then I'll just assume you're here to help maintain order." Anduin knew that Snape had always been stubborn, so he was too lazy to expose him, and then he asked sideways, "By the way, you've been watching here for so long, what do you think of my new instance? Do you think it has a future?"

"Tch, it's just a bunch of little devils playing house." Snape glanced at Anduin specifically when he said this, "But aren't you being too reckless, letting these little wizards engage in such dangerous activities?"

"Not only are there high-risk creatures like giants in it, but I also saw a lot of extremely dangerous weapons. Aren't you afraid that these little wizards will get hurt?"

Didn't you just say that this is playing house? Why do you think it's dangerous now?

Anduin rolled his eyes, but still explained calmly, "They're not injured, are they… Can you have some confidence in me?"

"The stress-responsive tactical suits on those little wizards have been officially put into use after more than a year of testing. Not to mention dealing with ordinary attack spells and magical animals, even in the face of dark magic, they can be safely teleported away before being hit."

"Are these tactical suits so sensitive?" Snape raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "If that's the case, why don't you supply this equipment to the Ministry of Magic as well? It's much better than the tactical vests sold in Silver Flash Trading Company."

"That's also conditional."

Anduin shook his head speechlessly, it was really troublesome to explain these things to an alchemy novice.

"Stress-responsive tactical suits are not as perfect as you think. They can have their current excellent performance because of two important prerequisites."

Anduin held up one finger, "First of all, these tactical suits require a lot of magic power, so they cannot be used for a long time. This is why I set a time limit for the Battlefield-Hastings Battle instance."

Then he stretched out his second finger, "Secondly, the function of this tactical suit is actually only high-sensitivity stress response. The reason why they can be teleported away before being in danger is actually thanks to the large area teleportation magic circle I enchanted on that area."

"In other words, the role of the tactical suit is only to identify danger, and it is actually the instance itself that teleports them away, so the stress-responsive tactical suit is not as powerful as you think after leaving the instance."

"I see."

I don't know if Snape really understood, but he nodded thoughtfully, "Isn't it very expensive to make such a large area into an instance? Is it necessary for you to do this for a bunch of children?"

"Who told you that these instances are specially prepared for little wizards?"

Anduin showed a meaningful smile, but soon he changed the subject, "By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. From your point of view, what do you think of this instance? Don't always use words like playing house to perfunctorily me."

"Um… To be honest, it's very good." Snape gave a rare positive evaluation, "Whether it's the terrain, tasks, and props in the instance, or the performance of those little wizards, they are all amazing."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Although I don't want to admit it, the qualities shown by those children have surpassed many adult wizards, efficient execution, tit-for-tat command, and various whimsical tactics."

"If the Death Eaters of the past could have learned to coordinate and cooperate like these students when fighting, it's really hard to say who would have won that war." Snape made a rare joke.

"What? Did the scenes of those children fighting in the instance make you recall the past again?" Anduin asked curiously.

"Not really." Snape smiled bitterly, "It's just that seeing these children fighting for victory makes my hands itch a little."

"Oh? Then you can also go in and experience it. Anyway, these instances don't prohibit adult wizards from entering." Anduin suggested.

"Forget it." Snape shook his head, "I'm not interested in messing around with a bunch of kids."

"You don't look down on these little devils?" Anduin smiled, "Then if I find you a worthy opponent one day? Do you have any thoughts on personally going down to try it?"

"Hmph, you're not talking about yourself, are you?" Snape rolled his eyes at Anduin, and then shifted the topic to the instance, "By the way, why do I always feel that the defending side has such a big advantage in this battlefield instance?"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Anduin raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect Snape to be so concerned about the new instance.

"I roughly observed that the resource cost-effectiveness of the defending side on the battlefield is not as high as that of the attacking side, but many of their armaments have obvious restraining effects on the attacking side's armaments, such as those scatter cannons, and the crossbow cannons against giants. I think this is all specially arranged by you, right?"

Snape had actually been watching here for most of the day, and he also had a certain understanding of many contents in the battlefield instance.

"Not bad." Anduin nodded.

Snape frowned puzzledly, "Every time the attacking side plays a card, the defending side plays a card that can target the opponent. In that case, doesn't the attacking side have any advantage in front of the defending side? Like Wood's choice now, he doesn't need to have more actions before the attacking side really makes a move."
