Retirement from Hogwarts

After a few people climbed over a low mountain, a small village located in the valley appeared in front of them.

"I can't believe that people actually settled here." Hermione said in disbelief as she stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the people working in the village.

"Is there anyone weird here, little girl?" A hoarse voice sounded under the willow tree at the entrance of the village.

"I'm sorry, I'm not saying you shouldn't be here, I just think..."

"I'm just surprised that there are so many people living in one room, right?"

"You know?" Hermione asked in surprise as she looked at the old man in front of her.

"I've seen too many adventurers like you from outside. How could you not know?" the old man shook his head and said.

"Then do you know how we can get through this level?"

"Passing through the level? This is not a simple matter. The passage out of this level has been blocked by the White Empire. If you really want to leave here, you can try your luck in the Black Knight City over there. . In the entire Cloud Country, the only ones who can penetrate the White Empire's defense line are probably the knights there."

"But...but why do those knights want to help us?" Neville asked stammering.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a kid react so quickly. You guys are much better than those little guys before. What's your name, little guy?"

"I... I'm Neville, grandpa."

"Well, that's right. It's been a long time since anyone has been able to discover the key to the problem so quickly. I won't test you this time. Take this and go to Black Knight City. You can use this to challenge the city lord of Black Knight City. As long as If you can defeat him once in any way, he must agree to one of your conditions." The old man said as he threw a black bead to Neville.After finishing speaking, she winked at him mischievously.

"Any requests?" Jack asked curiously.

"Of course, 'any' request."

"How many times can this bead be used?" Jack asked again.

"It doesn't matter how many times. As long as you don't lose, you can keep using it." After saying that, the old man sitting under the tree looked at Jack deeply.

"Is this the city of the Black Knight?"

Jack and the others looked at the Q version of the castle across the river with their mouths open, as if ten thousand zombies were running past in their hearts.

"What, do you have any objections to my castle?" A low and hoarse voice sounded from deep within the castle.

"Boom."

With a loud noise, the originally towering suspension bridge of the castle was lowered.Then, a burst of heavy and neat footsteps sounded deep in the castle.

"What is this sound? Didn't we just say something about this castle? Why did they react so much?" Hermione asked in a low voice, a little uneasy.

"God knows what those people in the castle think. Don't worry Hermione, I'm here. Even if they really want to take action, we are not afraid of them. At worst, I will just use that one again to demolish this place."

"Don't always think about solving problems with violence." Hermione rolled her eyes at Jack dissatisfied. "If you use that, everyone else except you will be in trouble."

While they were talking, an Iron Knight riding an earth dragon had crossed the castle's moat.They stopped neatly ten meters in front of the four people and quickly formed a huge square formation.Then, the knights controlled the ground dragons and took a step neatly to both sides of the phalanx.A wide passage was opened in the center of the phalanx.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

As a burst of footsteps sounded heavier than before, two bright and uncertain fire lights suddenly lit up in the tall and outrageous gate of the Q version of the castle.Under the firelight, a dark red cloud appeared and disappeared in the city gate.As the heavy footsteps got closer and closer, the cloud jumped out of the city gate and walked into the beautiful sunshine outside the castle.

"hiss......"

When the four of them saw clearly the true face of the creature shrouded in the red and black clouds, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Barlow Balrog?!" Neville screamed.

"How could such a thing exist in Hogwarts?" Hermione muttered to herself in disbelief.

"New challenger? After so many years, there is a new challenger here. It seems that the days to come will become more interesting." The hoarse and deep voice rang in the mouth of Balo Yanmo . "Nice to meet you, challengers. It's been a long time since anyone came to entertain me. I hope you can hang on a little longer."

"Hold on longer? Wait, you haven't said what the challenge is yet."

"Didn't that old man tell you clearly what the rules of the game are? It seems that he has also reached the age where he starts to forget things. Then I will take a good look at the fact that you are the only group of challengers in recent decades. Let me explain it to you." He said and clapped his hands.

As his applause fell, six sexy and enchanting succubi walked out from behind him carrying a set of gorgeous tables and chairs.

"As long as you can beat me with the game you choose from here, I will promise you a condition. On the other hand, if you lose, give me that." After that, he pointed to the bead in Neville's pocket. .

After hearing his words, the four Jacks couldn't help but look at each other.Then the other three people looked at Jack.

"What do you think I'm doing? I don't know how to play these games." Jack said helplessly to the other three people.

"What? You don't even know how to play a game here?" Balrog asked excitedly. "You know, these are the most popular games in hell."

"Hell?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Well, I'm sorry, I forgot that you humans are the race in the entire universe that likes the new and hates the old the most."

"It's not that we like the new and hate the old, your game is too old. The latest one is also a game from 1000 or [-] years ago." Jack helplessly spread his hands and said to the Balrog in front of him.

"1000 two hundred years ago? It turns out it has been that long. Okay, what are you popular now? Let's play with that." Balrog said impatiently.

"But wouldn't you suffer a lot in this case?"

"Suffering a loss? Don't worry, little guy from the Yanhuang tribe. Games are easier for me than eating and drinking. Don't cry if you lose."

"Now that you say so." Jack said, taking out a box and handing it to the other party's hand. "Friend, would you like to play Gwent?"
