International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 267 If you can second me, I will kill you on the spot

Yes!Fighting Demon King!That is, the localized version of Doudizhu.

After Lu Ren briefly explained the rules of the game to everyone present, everyone's interest in the game was immediately aroused: this sounds like a really interesting game.

"It sounds good, but I think the upper limit of card games is there. I'm afraid it will be difficult to surpass games like Wizard Chess. After all, Wizard Chess is the crystallization of wizard wisdom." Ron analyzed it carefully , came to a conclusion.

Fighting Devil King is fun, but how can it be more fun than Wizard Chess?

tan90° does not exist.

Coincidentally, Alice also arrived as scheduled, and came to the Gryffindor common room for a daily check-in visit.

So she, Lu Ren and Ron started the "Fighting Demon King", but they didn't have "Happy Beans", they could only stick a note on the loser's face - if the brave side loses, then the rest Stickers on the faces of people with too many cards.

……

"This is the last time I get a sticker."

"This note is my last stubbornness."

Ron's chin was covered with notes, and it looked like Santa Claus had dyed his hair from a distance.As for his opponents: Lu Ren and Alice, the notes on their faces are gone, and they feel more like zombies.

"It's impossible for you to see even a note pasted on my face, impossible."

Listening to Ron constantly planting flags for himself, both Lu Ren and Alice showed strange expressions on their faces.

"My turn! Draw a card!" He drew a card from the top of the deck, and then showed joy: he drew a 2 at the beginning, and he was lucky.

Soon, the three of them finished drawing their cards.There were only three cards left for the "Devil King", and Hermione, the referee at the side, chose the J and A of the "Scorpion".The so-called "scorpion" is the "bad boy" in mahjong, which can be used as any card except the big and small kings.

Ron took a look at his cards: three scorpions, two 2s, a king, three 5s, three 7s, and a few scattered small cards.

"It's a pity that there is no king, and there is no QK..." Ron pondered for a while, but felt that his chances of winning were still very high, so he resolutely called the landlord.

As a result, he was given three broken cards of 3, 4, and A.

Except that A is lame, the other two are just to add to the confusion.

'3, 4...' Ron wanted to cry but had no tears: this is a broken card.

"This kind of card is too difficult to play." He sighed.

After careful research, he decided...

"Go alone with a 3!"

Next, Alice played a 6, and Lu Ren took the lead with a 2, fishing out Ron's little king.

Originally, it was not bad to accept it as soon as it was good, but Alice played super fiercely, and she directly pressed down with a big king.

Ron stopped.

As a result, Alice started with a straight from 3 to 10, and directly beat Ron to a sluggish state. He wanted to defuse the bomb, but couldn't, so he had no choice but to give up and played a few cards with them. , and finally a 2 controlled the situation.

然后他非常果断的拆了5和7，打了一个4-10的顺子，再把手里的2和9打了出去。

At this time, Ron only had 4 scorpions and a pair of 7s and a pair of 5s left in his hands.

Ron felt the goddess of victory smiling at him: Although Alice only had 5 cards, he had two bombs in his hand!
"Tell me, how can I lose with this kind of card!" He yelled in his heart: The opportunity to avenge shame has come!

"Four fives" Ron threw the card out.

"Dengdendendendendendendendendendendendendendendendendendendendendenden!" He hummed a happy little song, and he was already clutching the underpants of the Goddess of Victory !

Alice smiled and threw four queens on his four fives.

"bomb!"

The cards exploded violently, leaving Ron in disarray.

According to the rules, 4 Qs are used as bombs, you either take out 4 Ks, or 4 Aes, 2s, or use 5-card bombs to press, otherwise other bombs are smaller than it.

Ron has a pair of 7s and a pair of Js in his hands, but they are all no bigger than 4 Qs.

"Play a K alone, and you lose." Alice threw the last card on the table and made a tactical backlash.

Ron: "..."

"Gaia—" he let out a scream, then retreated into the armchair dejectedly, letting another note appear on his face.

"Do you still call?" Alice asked while pasting the note.

"No more..." Ron looked spoiled, and Hermione took his place.

"You play cards well..." Hermione glanced at Lu Ren who was in the poker field, and her thoughts changed slightly.

"It's all luck, luck." Lu Ren touched the few notes on his head, happily expressing that it was all luck.

"Then let's make a bet? If I lose, I promise you a request. If you lose, you have to promise me a request-you can ask me later." Hermione shuffled the cards while showing a little fox-like face expression.

"I'll make a request in the future..." Lu Ren's heart was moved, his whole body hardened, and he bowed his head with enthusiasm. Hermione's words made him stand still.

At this moment, he has a lot of ideas, after all, he is a man who is good at seeing stitches.

"Okay!" Lu Ren beamed with joy.

A new game has begun.

After drawing the cards, Lu Ren felt that he was on the safe side!
"Four 4s, 5678, a pair of Aces, a 2, and 3 scorpions!" How can you lose with this kind of card? If you lose, is it still a person?
Moreover, Hermione took the initiative to snatch the landlord!

When she got the 8, 9, and J three landlord cards, Hermione fell into deep thought.

"Hermione, hurry up, don't dawdle~" Lu Ren trembled.

"My lord!" Hermione was directly a lord.

Lu Ren saw that she was coming with a big heart, so he quickly punched out four 4s. Ron's lesson is not far away, and he will not make the same mistake.

Sure enough, Lu Ren suppressed Hermione and could only let him do whatever he wanted.

"567-8910" Lu Ren embezzled a scorpion and hit a straight, leaving only a pair of A, a 2 and two scorpions.

At this time, he has a great chance of winning.A pair of aces plus two scorpions can form 4 aces. This is the top bomb except for 4 2s. In addition to the single 2 in your hand, there are almost no opponents.

In order to win more securely, he walked out with 2 orders.

With 4 A bombs in his hand, Lu Ren was in a stable position.

"Pour a glass of apple~fruit~vinegar~ for junior girl." He stretched out his hand and made a drink. As for why it wasn't apple cider, of course he felt that Alice was not old enough to drink.

And, in all honesty, he thinks apple cider vinegar tastes better than apple cider.

"Come on, let's start your bomb show! Drift~brew~" Alice also showed up, and she followed with four 4's.

Lu Ren glanced at Hermione's cards - there were 17 cards left!
"Hehe, can you kill me with 17 cards? Can you kill me in seconds? You can beat me Lu Ren with 17 cards today, and I'll eat this pile of cards on the spot!" Jen is going to win.

"I, Lu Ren, am the legendary gambling king, the gambling monster! It is the strongest card in the history of Hogwarts, ah no, I am the strongest player in the history of Fighting Devil. In this field, I am GOD, God, An unrivaled player."

Lu Ren's blood didn't flow to his head at all. He was sure of winning at this moment, and he was already thinking about what kind of request to make.

He had a flash of inspiration: Why don't you go to Hogsmeade next time and go to a tailor shop with Hermione, the kind of shop that sells clothes for adults.

But Hermione took out 5 K's backhand, turned over and held down Lu Ren, and of course Alice.

Then there are three 9s, three 10s, three Js and three small cards with a big plane...

Lu Ren: "???"

what happened?
What about Hermione's 17 cards?A total of 17 cards, such a thick stack of cards, which were still in her hand just now, why did they suddenly disappear?

Lu Ren fell into silence.

He sat for a long time, and squeezed out a smile: "How about I teach you how to play backgammon?"

"No, five sons can't do it, we have to fight the devil." Hermione resolutely rejected Lu Ren's proposal, tore off a note, licked it, and stuck it on Lu Ren's forehead.

……

This new game of Fighting Demon King makes everyone enjoy themselves.Although Lu Ren's luck became worse after Hermione joined, they still had a great time playing. Several people including Alice played in the lounge until eleven or twelve o'clock at night before stopping. I didn't go back to Hufflepuff's dormitory anymore, and stayed directly in Gryffindor.

Lu Ren was a little uneasy, not knowing what Hermione's "punishment" was.But he tried several times and got no response, so he could only go to sleep with his mind full.

Then Lu Ren resumed the peaceful life with Hermione day after day.

But one thing came into his view: Professor Lupine decided to give Harry a small lesson after he "recovered" and taught him to use the Patronus spell "Invoke God to Protect".

Lu Ren still wanted to learn this curse.The Patronus Charm not only drives away Dementors, but is also one of the most powerful defensive spells.This is an extremely complex and difficult spell to evoke a semi-concrete positive force, the Patronus to drive away the Dementors and Voldebats, and the physical Patronuses summoned by some wizards can even cooperate with them. fight.

Lu Ren is also a mature person. He used to be a "Hao", but after going through some things, he became a "Yan", so he felt that it would not hurt to learn more spells.

So he found Harry, showed him affection and reason, and finally made Harry feel that learning the Patronus Charm with Lu Ren would be beneficial and harmless—and it was indeed so. It's best to mention finding a good partner to take the class together, otherwise you can only cry at all kinds of unreliable group teammates.

Some team members obviously have a deadline next Tuesday, but on Saturday they asked him whether he wrote his part, and he told you that he had collected a lot of data, blah blah, but the report still didn’t move a single word...

At that time, you really wanted to go along the network cable and beat his head to pieces.

It is hoped that 6G technology can realize the operation of hitting people along the network cable.

Lu Ren and Harry arrived at the History of Magic classroom at night, but Professor Lupine hadn't come yet.They used magic wands to light up the lights in the classroom, making the dark classroom brighter - there are no light switches in Hogwarts classrooms, and the lights are all powered by magic wands. If you are free, you can also get a fire book Order one by one.

After waiting for less than 5 minutes, Professor Lupine appeared, carrying a large cargo box in his hand.His face turned pale again.He placed the crate on Professor Binns' podium.

"New Boggart. I finally found this guy in Mr. Filch's filing cabinet, and it's the closest thing we can find to a Dementor. If a Boggart sees you, you'll turn into a Dementor." Ghost, then we can use it for practice. When I don't need it, I store it in my office." Lupine took off his cloak and explained to the two of them.

When wizards learn the Patronus Charm, most of the time they are taught by the elders hand in hand, and the juniors learn to release the Patronus in a peaceful environment.Few parents are as hardcore as Lupine.But the children of other families, their Boggarts may also be difficult to dementors, so it is really a godsend to learn the Patronus Charm with Harry.You know, seeing is believing. Boggarts are the closest thing to dementors and harmless. Lu Ren is really lucky to have this kind of simulation opportunity.

"Okay." Harry sounded like he wasn't worried at all, and pleased that Lupine had found such an ideal Dementor replacement.But Lu Ren knew that Harry refused in his heart.

Professor Lupine drew out his wand, and then introduced the magic spell of Invoke God to protect Harry and Lu Ren.

"According to old woodcuts and scrolls, the Patronus Charm has been used since ancient times. So it is not known who invented it or what exactly it came from. The spell has been around for a long time. A connection to wizards who fought for a noble cause. It is generally believed in the wizarding world that only those with a pure heart can summon a Patronus." Lupine introduced the history of the Patronus Charm.

"The Patronus is a positive force, an externalized expression of those things that a dementor feeds on—hope, joy, the desire to live—but it doesn't feel hopelessness like a real person, so a dementor You can't help it, but it's their food that can really hurt them." Lu Ping said slowly, "But I must remind you, this spell may be too advanced for you, and most wizards and wizards can't do it. Summoning a Patronus in any form, even an invisible Patronus, would be considered a sign of superior mana."

"So what does a Patronus look like?" Hagrid's huge figure flashed through Harry's mind.

"Each Patronus is unique to the wizard who created it, and its form can reflect the personality of the wizard. But after the caster has experienced some degree of mental shock or emotional upheaval-such as falling in love, protecting God's form may change."

Regarding the Patronus Charm, Lu Ping did not say something, but Lu Ren did.For example, the Patronus form of the Animagus is the same as its transformed form.For example, the patron saints of most wizards are in the form of ordinary animals, and the patron saints in the form of magical animals are very rare. Dumbledore has a patron saint in the form of a phoenix.

Of course the rarest Patronus forms are extinct animals.

After a brief introduction to the spell, Lupine was ready to start training.
