Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 225 Dior's Bizarre Adventure 2 (4000+)

【

What appears to be the headmaster's office at Hogwarts
Dumbledore walked to the Pensieve with a serious face
"Let me see what...you are."

In an ink-and-wash special effect cutscene, a yellow-skinned mouse suddenly opened its eyes, and in front of it was a black flying dragon with blood-red eyes!

Then, Pikachu and the flying dragon fought fiercely, and the camera ended in front of the roaring mouth of the black dragon.

There was another burst of ink special effects, and Dumbledore, who had returned to consciousness, took a breath, stepped back several steps, and exclaimed: "Fantastic!"

Suddenly, the screen turned, and a string of fancy fonts slowly emerged [Lake's Arcade Game, Just Enjoy Yourself! (Lake arcade, enjoy the passion!)]
】——The advertisement ends

The above is the magical advertisement that has been played back and forth on the billboards of the Lake experience store in Diagon Alley from August [-]st.

None of the wizards passing by had stopped by this advertisement, because it featured the greatest white wizard of our time - Dumbledore.

Then they wonder what kind of magic is the "arcade machine" in this ad.

Children living in the Muggle world may know what an arcade is, but most wizard grandparents don't know it.

For example. Our old friend Dior Joestar.

Wearing a well-fitting black suit, Dior appeared on the streets of Diagon Alley in London. The once handsome young man's face was less soft and more tough.

Today's Dior is not what it used to be. Half a year ago, he was still a dead fat house wizard waiting to die, but now... he is the master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, which is well-known in the Italian black wizard world!
Since the last time Dior knew that his good friend Jonathan Brando was going to get married, especially after knowing that his marriage partner was Alina Benludo, the relationship between the two was over.

Dio left on the spot without looking back and never came back.
Because Alina was Dior's girlfriend when he was in school. Although they broke up due to various reasons, Dior still couldn't forget the girl who took away his first kiss. Unexpectedly, after many years, Dior would hear about his best friend News about marrying my ex-girlfriend
This made Dior depressed for a while. He left home and went to Italy. He devoted all his energy to the work assigned to him by the family, and achieved outstanding results. The family recognized his ability and brought Italy All the business is handed over to him.
Although it is not a good experience to deal with the blood race, but only by working non-stop can Dio forget those troubles
Today, Dior returned to the UK after a long absence.

Originally, he was only going back to the UK to discuss a business, and pick up some traded goods by the way, so he wouldn't stay too long, but...

The advertisement of Lake Experience Store caught his attention.
"Lake Chess and Chess," Dior muttered to himself. He had seen a branch of this store in Italy, but he had never entered it once.

He no longer plays monster cards.
Because the person who played cards with him back then is no longer around.
Dior used to think that his whole life would be spent in games, but who would have thought that in just over half a year, the former otaku would become the leader of the Italian dark wizard world?

Men are always fickle. Maybe when they are young, they will be addicted to games and be content with having fun, but when they reach a certain age, their minds about having fun will fade away. They will take responsibility, worry about their careers, and mature...

Life cannot be without firewood, rice, oil and salt, but games are not a necessity of life.

"That doesn't belong to me anymore." Dio shook his head, turned around and was about to leave. There was no more fun in his life, and now he was just a gangster with no emotions.

But... when Dio took three steps, Dumbledore's "Fantastic" voice echoed in his ears, and he stopped involuntarily.

"Why don't you go and take a look, just remember your lost youth."

Dior thought so, so, under the guidance of the power in the dark, he pushed open the door of the Lake Experience Store.
……

"Welcome to the Lake experience store. I'm Mira, master. This is your first visit. Do you need my help?"

The white fox appeared in front of Dior all the time, talking naively.

Dio raised his eyebrows, what is this?What strange magic?familiar?summon monster?Animagus?I haven't seen it.

"Well, I want to know what is the product advertised outside." But the professionally trained Dior asked calmly.

"Ah, has the master not been to Diagon Alley in the past half month? Recently, few people have asked this question." Fox Mira wagged her tail and said with a smile: "Then master, please come with me."

Dio followed Mira into the store. He looked around the lake experience store as he walked. There was no change from before. Some people were playing cards, some were drinking, and some were bragging together.
Tsk, what a bunch of carefree people.
Soon, Dior followed Mira to the innermost part of the store.

"When is there an extra door here?" Dio asked.

"Oh? So the owner has been to our shop before?"

This fox can still chat?Dio nodded: "More than half a year ago."

"So that's how it is. At that time, Mira hadn't been drawn yet, so I haven't seen the owner." Mira bounced to the door, stood up and raised her hands and said: "Then, welcome to Lake Game hall!"

"Actually, the main entrance of the game room is on the other side, and this is actually the back entrance." Mira raised the curtain and waved to Dio: "Please come in, master, it's very interesting~"

Dio walked in as promised, and was suddenly taken aback by the loud noise!
It turns out that the curtain has the magic of sound insulation, and the inside is much more lively than the tavern!
Amidst the dynamic music, the noise of the people was rising and falling. Dior saw a lot of people gathered around the square in the middle, and they watched the huge screen in the sky, waving and cheering.
"Nice job! Hit him! Go!"

"This roundabout kick! It's amazing! Who is X**B! This maneuver is simply invincible!"

"Cooooooool! F404 is No.1 again! Could it be that no one can sanction him?! Is there any Quidditch master come out to show off!"

"Damn! Which bastard won the Galleon Award again!!!"

"."

A lot of unknown nouns and sentences echoed in Dio's ears, completely confusing him, he can no longer keep his face calm, what's going on?Am I in the wrong place?Isn't this really the site of the Quidditch World Cup?

"This is.?"

"Master, let me introduce you. This is the Lake game hall! A place to enjoy the charm of games. Since you have been to the Lake experience store before, master, you must still remember the board games on the third floor of the experience store?"

Dio kept scanning the magical room in front of him, and replied blankly: "Yes, I still remember those interesting game tables."

"Then the explanation is much simpler. Many [arcade machines] here are evolved from the original game table. Please follow me, and I will explain it step by step for you."

Mira walked to an [arcade machine]—actually, it was a mirror, like a billboard outside. There was a broomstick on the mirror, and under the broom was a string of English [Quidditch: The Fast and the Furious].

"Our Lake Workshop has received technical support from the great Mr. Dumbledore, using the magical magic in the legendary magic prop [Meditation Disk] to create a game called [Arcade]. The one in front of you, master, is a current A very popular racing game, [Fast and Furious] ranked in the TOP5 popularity index in our store."

Mira explained eloquently: "Master, there is a hole on your left hand side. Do you see it? That's the coin slot. Just put a copper Knut into it, or insert it on your right hand side. Lake membership card, and then turn your gaze to the mirror in the middle, you can enter the game through divine sense!"

"Currently this game has two modes. The one in front of you is a survival version of the escape mode. In the game, you need to ride a broomstick to avoid the pursuit of the dragon behind you. The other is a multiplayer racing mode. The [Arcade] in multiplayer mode is on the other side, players compete together to see who can reach the finish line first!"

"No matter which mode, if you perform well, you will have the opportunity to be broadcast on the big screen in the center, which is the mirror of the place where the crowd gathered just now, and be seen by everyone. Excellent players will also be respected by other players .”

"By the way, and if you are a tourist—that is, players who only play coin-operated games do not have their own game IDs. Only players who have registered as members of Lake can have ID cards, so if you want everyone to know your name If so, I suggest you apply for a membership card here!"

It was only after Mira Taotao finished explaining that Dior came to his senses. He had only been away from England for half a year, so why did he feel that the world had become so strange?

But I can probably understand the meaning of it. By the way, Muggles seem to have this thing called [Arcade Hall], so did they learn from the experience of Muggles?The owner of the Lake family is really
Dio shook his head to clear his mind, and asked: "So this is a game of riding a broomstick? I'm not very interested in this. I didn't ride a broom very well back then. Emmm, is there any other game? ?”

"Of course! Our popular games here include [Gryffindor's Secret Order: Brave Kombat] for team adventures, [Monster All-Star Smash Bros] for two-person duel fighting, and [Black Lake Bottom] where you can earn gold coins. Fishing Master], [Hair in Polyjuice Potion] to test your luck.”

"Wait, wait." Dio stopped Mira, who said a lot of names in one breath, pressed his temple and said: "Then go and have a look at the monster card first, I am more familiar with this."

"No problem! The [Arcade] of Monster Fight is here in the multiplayer area, master, please come with me!"

Dio followed Mira to a long corridor, where more than a dozen [arcade machines] were placed in a row, and several people were already sitting on the sofa, motionless, as if they had already "wandered".

"This is the duel area. This is a symmetrical corridor. On the other side of this wall, there is also a row of the same arcade, but the entrance is different. Come, master, you sit here." Mira took Dio to He sat down in an empty seat and said:

"[Yokai All-Star Smash Bros.] has a machine mode and a duel mode. As the name suggests, the man-machine mode is to play by yourself. Just insert coins, and you can compete with the monsters that act independently, while the duel mode requires an opponent. Master, you press the table button on the

Dio saw a red button on the table, and without thinking, he pressed it.

"When you press the button, on the other side, that is, on the other side of the wall, the tables and chairs at the same position will light up, indicating that you are asking for a battle, the master. If someone on the other side sees and wants to join the battle, you can Will sit at the table and respond."

Before Mira finished speaking, the mirror in front of Dio's eyes turned red: "Master, someone on the other side has accepted the challenge. Now you just need to insert coins to start the game!"

"Master, do you have a monster card?"

"Uh, no."

"Oh, that doesn't matter, then you only need to put in one Copper Knut to choose one of the basic ten monster card characters to fight, and put in three Copper Knuts to freely choose the one provided by [Arcade] Fifty monster card characters!"

"Of course, if you have your own rare monster card, just insert the monster card into the socket on the top, and you can summon the rare monster card to fight! The combat power of all monster cards is relatively balanced, and the skills are also comparable to monsters. The skills of the card itself are basically the same, so I won’t explain too much, master, please experience it for yourself!”

Dio was ignorant, but still nodded, threw three copper coins, looked at the mirror, and then started to wander.

When Dio opened his eyes, he found that he seemed to be floating in the air in the state of a soul, and a soft voice came: "Please choose your hero, Summoner."

Summoner?It should be about me, right?Then Dio saw dozens of phantoms of familiar monster card characters appearing in midair, Pikachu, Charmander, Kodak, Captain Teemo
It’s a bit nostalgic. Dio, who hasn’t played Monster Cards for half a year, can’t help but sigh a little at this time, and finally he reaches out to the little charmander he is most familiar with.

"The hero is selected. The hero chosen by your opponent is [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon]. Random map: Desert. Countdown to launch: 10, 9, 8"

? ? ?What kind of monster card is the red-eyed black dragon?Is it a new card?I don't remember this monster!Before Dio could react, he realized that he had turned into a Charmander!Looking at his little paws and calves, this feeling is really strange.

".3, 2, 1, release!"

"."

Dio opened his eyes, looked at the [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] which was not in the same size as him at all, and fell into deep thought.
...did I not charge?

Then the black dragon on the opposite side slapped it down with one paw. Seeing that he was about to be slapped to death, Dio resolutely gave up struggling.

But when the slap hit him, there was no pain as imagined. After Dio was slapped and flew away, he realized that there were several strange "icons" in his field of vision.

"Sorry, are you not ready yet?" The black dragon in front of him suddenly spoke out.

It turns out that this game can still talk?Dio stood up and said, "No, it's my first time playing, and I haven't figured out the situation yet."

"Oh, is this your first time playing? Oh, I see, you are not a monster card player. This game hall has been open for more than half a month, and all the old players have played this game." Attacked, he sat down and explained to Dio slowly:
"Since you are a novice, let me introduce you first. Pay attention to the field of vision in front of you. The green bar on the upper left is your blood volume HP, and the blue bar under the blood bar is the MP bar used to cast skills. , there is also the MAX bar of the continuous energy amplification move, using the skill will consume MP, and the attack will accumulate MAX”

The black dragon explained to the little charmander seriously, and the big and small dragons get along very harmoniously: ".The impact of body size on the game has advantages and disadvantages. It's not that if I'm bigger than you, I can definitely win. Everyone's attack power is actually They're pretty much the same, so don't worry about size."

"I think I understand." Dio quickly knew how to operate. In this game, he moves very fast and is not easy to be hit, so he is not guaranteed to lose. This game is interesting: " I'm ready, let's get started!"

"Very good, very imposing, it seems that you are very talented!" Heilong laughed loudly and said, "I won't hold back, come! Take the move!"

Then two fire dragons, one big and one small, fought fiercely. The black dragon is huge in size and dominant in strength, and can cause area damage by destroying terrain. Skills, the two dragons fought back and forth.

Dio became more and more excited as he fought, and felt that the blood and passion he once had returned to him. At this moment, he completely forgot about his shitty jobs and his identity as a gangster, as if he had returned to the beginning, back to the one who could A boy who is excited about the game...

"Hahahaha! It's cool! I'm so high!"

Dio laughed wildly and released his big move: [Big Fireball]

The move that I thought would be easily dodged, but it hit the black dragon firmly, and the black dragon's life value was instantly cleared, and there was still a shocked expression on his face:
"You are dio?!"

Dio's eyes widened, and he could recognize himself by this sentence, don't tell me you are.
"Jonathan!!?"

"TIME UP!" The soft voice sounded again, and the two were sent out of the scene.

The game is over, but the story of these two young men...has only just begun.
