The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

It wasn't until she actually entered the palace hall that the countess remembered that she was the owner here.

She came to the high steps specially cast in the hall.

Start saying words of celebration.

In order to use John's power to suppress the goblins.

Later, she also gave a full and embellished introduction to John.

Emphasis was placed on John's excellence and his relationship with their family.

She said it herself very enthusiastically.

But he didn't realize that the atmosphere in the entire palace hall had become very strange.

The goblins' eyes widened, and their gazes turned back and forth between the 'Lopez Jewel' and John. They were breathing rapidly and looked eager to try.

John also looked at the goblins below with a sneer.

That gaze seemed to be looking at corpses.

In addition, John also found Michael standing in the corner like a transparent man.

But Michael's expression was a little weird at this moment.

It was obvious that he had just heard the goblins talking all the time, and he was a little stunned.

"...Before we officially start the banquet, I would like to introduce to you the treasure of our Lopez family!"

Finally, the countess ended her long nonsense, pointed to the gem on her chest and said, "Lopez gem! This is the most beautiful and precious treasure in the world!

Please look carefully...its beauty! "

As soon as she finished speaking, the white parrot flew down on the countess's shoulder and pecked her outstretched finger.

The countess blushed and wiped the blood on the gem.

Immediately, the 'film' covering the gemstone was scratched, and a strange magic power began to flow out of the gemstone, and soon filled the entire palace hall.

Almost everyone present took a breath subconsciously.

There is no way, this kind of magic feels really great.

John even felt his stomach growling, wanting to devour it.

The goblins gritted their teeth.

In the past few years, every time the countess summoned them to a banquet, she would unlock the Lopez gem in front of them.

This is because they are sure that they cannot be snatched by force, so they are fishing deliberately!

But now, this situation can finally change.

Lopez Gems plus John Shafik.

Such benefits are enough for them to take risks!

The goblins looked fierce, and after looking at each other quickly, they stretched out their fingers without hesitation.

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of explosions sounded.

Then several light bullets were shot toward the countess and John with dangerous light.

This scene frightened the countess outright.

This was different from what she expected.

When the goblins meet John, a local wizard and aristocrat from the country of Yu, even if they are not submissive, they should restrain themselves.

Why are you taking action directly?

Just when she was confused, John pulled out his wand.

"Armor protection!"

"Om-"

The huge shadow of the shield appeared instantly, bouncing back several incoming light bullets.

"Boom boom-"

Light bombs exploded from among the goblins.

The powerful shock wave almost blew away all the goblins.

In other words, they wanted to capture John alive, so they didn't use too powerful magic.

Otherwise, just this one blow would be enough to seriously injure them.

Several goblins got up in embarrassment and prepared to continue attacking.

But it's too late.

Because of the blessing of the magic wand.

Goblins are actually no match for wizards in terms of individual combat effectiveness.

Their power lies in their terrifying reproduction speed and huge population.

In the previous goblin rebellion wars, they also relied on a population several times that of wizards to gain advantages on local battlefields.

If there were hundreds or even hundreds of goblins gathered here, then John and Michael would not be able to fight.

It is estimated that even escaping for one's life may not be possible.

But right now there are only a dozen goblins in the hall.

In this case, the outcome has already been decided.

John, Alice and Michael, who were waiting in the corner, raised their wands again.

"Shen Feng has no shadow!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"Burning flames!"

"Om-"

In an even more violent series of explosions, deadly invisible blades and flames began to rage.

Although the goblins launched their defense in time.

However, their casting speed and effect without a wand are really not good enough.

Almost in a split second.

The dozen or so goblins present were almost slaughtered.

Only the last few were left, wailing on the charred hall floor.

Michael was holding a cigarette in his mouth and squinting his eyes as he stepped forward one by one to finish off the wounds.

After doing all this, John and others all looked at the countess.

At this time, the countess had already turned pale, her whole body hanging behind John, screaming non-stop.

After a while, she managed to recover, breathing heavily:

"Thank you! Thank you! John! If it weren't for you, I'd probably have to...

These damn goblins, despicable things!

How dare they attack me!

I must report it to the Ministry of Magic!

They should compensate me a large sum of galleons!

certainly!I will never forget your kindness!John, you and your uncle Michael are both my benefactors, you can have anything you want..."

Listening to the countess's extremely excited voice, John and others had strange expressions.

Doesn't this woman still understand what happened?

Shaking his head speechlessly, John stretched out his wand.

"The gems are flying!"

The Lopez gem hanging around the Countess' neck then broke off its chain and flew into John's hands.

"W-what are you doing?"

The Countess turned pale and said, "Give it back to me quickly! John! Don't joke with me! I can't give this to you!"

As she spoke, the Countess rushed to snatch it.

But Alice suddenly stood up.

"Except your weapons!"

"boom--"

The Countess was blown away by the red light.

"You little monster! Even you dare to disobey me!"

The Countess roared as if she were crazy.

Now her hair is disheveled, her delicate dress is torn, and she looks extremely embarrassed.

Alice just walked over slowly.

She pulled the Countess by her hair.

Looking at Alice's red eyes full of hatred and sorrow, the countess finally calmed down.

Alice began to lean into the ear of the Countess and speak slowly.

With every word she spoke, the Countess's complexion paled.

Until the end, the Countess' whole body was trembling.

As for the situation on their side, John didn't care at all.

This was Alice's private matter and he was not going to interfere.

Now his focus is almost entirely on the Lopez gem.

As soon as this gem came into his hands, a stronger magic wave erupted than before.

That magic seemed to resonate with the two magic pools in his body.

Every cell in his body was frantically urging John to eat it!

This resonance also allowed John to recognize the identity of this blue gem.

This gem was clearly the same as the gem he had seen in the underground chamber of St. Brelade!

John still remembered that it was after the energy in that gem poured into his body that the magical talent bloomed in his soul.

Even his second magic power and 'chewing' ability are probably related to this gem!

It's not like John didn't think about looking for this kind of gem.

Unfortunately, when I returned to St. Brelade last time, the gem was no longer there.

But I didn't expect to see a brand new one here!

John took a deep breath and used [Occlumency] with all his strength to suppress the strong desire to devour.

Now is not a good time to 'chew' on this gem.

If you want to eat, you have to wait until everything here is settled and find a place where no one is around to eat.

At the same time, Alice finally ended her conversation with the Countess.

The Countess was now in tears and speechless.

Alice's mental state didn't look much better, and she was a little crazy and in a trance.

But she still stood up with strength and snapped her fingers at the alchemy doll not far away.

Soon, a glass of wine was brought over.

A glass of red wine in a regular glass goblet.

The wine inside was exceptionally bright, just like fresh blood.

Looking at the glass of red wine, John frowned slightly.

Did he still remember that during the Boggart test, wasn't this what Alice was most afraid of?
