Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 979 Deal, Surrender

When did he have such a big hand that he needed to let the Dark Lord come to him personally?

At this moment, the expression on Albert's face was almost tense. He originally thought that Voldemort would not appear here. After all, there were so many spectators at the duel competition. If Voldemort attacked him personally, it would directly expose the fact that Voldemort was still alive. However, the Dark Lord actually disguised himself as someone else.

You are the Dark Lord, why do you have the nerve to pretend to be someone else?

Your Dark Lord's strength has fallen all over the floor, okay?

Is he really planning to kill himself openly in the duel?

If you are killed by your opponent in a duel, you can't blame anyone, and Voldemort's identity will not be revealed. What's more, dying at the hands of the dark wizard Avger does not seem to be a strange thing.

Who let the dark wizard Avji kill people like crazy?

The situation is not good!

Albert reached out, picked up the wand, and placed it on his knees, prepared for Voldemort to suddenly attack him at any time.

Fortunately, I was not unprepared.

Albert let out a breath, reached into his pocket and took out a few gummies, peeled one open and put it in his mouth to chew, while picking out the gummy with the elixir hidden in it.

If possible, Albert really didn't want to face Voldemort so early, because he was really at a disadvantage and had no advantage in all aspects, and he himself was still in the developmental stage.

If you give him another fifteen years, no, ten years, ten years will be enough. When he reaches the peak in all aspects, it will not be a problem to fight Voldemort head-on.

After all, after ten years of preparation, Albert was confident that he could defeat Voldemort.

As for now, he might be able to prevent himself from being killed, but... Albert really doesn't like this duel with a very low winning rate and risks.

Efforts and benefits...are not directly proportional.

At this moment, the task panel triggered a new task.

When Voldemort was dragged away by the organizer's staff, Albert quickly opened the task panel and glanced at the name of the task: The Beginning of the Legend.

He didn't bother to read the content of the mission, and scrolled straight to the end to see the conditions for completing the mission: defeating Voldemort and winning the game.

Mission reward: 30,000 experience, 3 skill points, 2,000 reputation in the magic world, and obtain one of Voldemort's designated skills.

The mission rewards are very rich, but...the mission rewards are generally related to the difficulty of the mission, so the difficulty of this mission is quite high. Moreover, the most difficult thing should not be how to defeat Voldemort, but winning the game later.

If you feed integrity to a dog, you can shout now: He is Voldemort.

Then, by dragging down the organizer and even all the spectators present, Voldemort might be able to be driven back, but there is no hope of winning, and the competition might just be stopped.

In addition, there is another more bizarre mission: the dark wizard's nemesis.

The condition for completing the mission is to defeat the remaining two dark wizards and win the duel competition.

The reward experience is not much, but the reputation in the magic world is 1,000 points, and a "Dark Wizard's Nemesis" skill is also given.

This mission is actually pretty good, and it would be even better if Voldemort wasn't here.

However, Albert suspected that the mission was triggered by the appearance of Voldemort.

He sent a message to Kara, the house elf outside, asking the house elf to confirm whether Dumbledore was coming. If the Headmaster comes, tell him the news about Voldemort.

As long as Dumbledore comes to watch the game, Voldemort's difficulty in killing Albert will skyrocket.

As for whether Dumbledore came?

Albert really didn't know, he only knew that Bard invited Dumbledore to watch the duel.

Ever since the old man knew that Albert was being targeted by Death Eaters, he invited Dumbledore to watch the duel competition together to add an extra layer of insurance to Albert's safety.

The tickets for the members of the Order of the Phoenix were obtained from Bard. The tickets for the duel competition were so expensive. Who would be rich enough to just give them away? Their relationship was not that good!

I hope Bud can be more reliable and stop hanging on.

Otherwise, I'm afraid a backup plan will have to be activated by then.

Just because he couldn't defeat Voldemort didn't mean that he could kill him.

Albert naturally has his own plans. Voldemort may have expectations of his strength, but he certainly does not know his specific strength.

Of course, this kind of good thing will probably only work during the first fight, but that's enough.

Little Barty is the best example. He thought he understood Albert's strength, but ended up falling into a pit and unable to climb out the first time.

What's more, he also secretly brought a blessing elixir, which can be used directly when necessary.

Although it can't do much in the face of absolute strength, it actually has something to do with the upper limit of the wizard's strength.

Albert is a type who has strength but lacks experience, which makes him unable to exert his full strength. The Fuling Elixir can just make up for his problems in this regard.

The most important thing is that Albert had made a lot of preparations to deal with Voldemort as early as the Triwizard Tournament. Although some things were unusable, Voldemort now came to kill him single-handedly and disguised himself as someone else. Presumably he doesn't want his identity to be exposed.

What's more, Dumbledore is still here. If necessary, the two of them can join forces and they will definitely be able to drive back Voldemort.

Kara soon sent back the news that Dumbledore was really here, which made Albert sigh in relief.

However, Dumbledore's expression in the audience was very serious. If Snape hadn't told him that Voldemort planned to attack Anderson, Dumbledore would not have come here at all. He originally tried to persuade Albert to give up the game.

Unfortunately, it was too late when he received the news. He rushed to Spain and failed to find Albert.

When Dumbledore saw the house elf Cara coming to deliver news to him, he realized that the worst thing had happened.

However, he still couldn't convince Albert to give up the game.

Dumbledore really didn't understand why Albert took the risk, but was it because he was here?

Or is it really like what Albert said, Voldemort can't do anything to him for a while, maybe he can force Voldemort to reveal his flaws and completely expose the news that he has been resurrected to everyone?

To be honest, this proposal made Dumbledore hesitate. As long as the news of Voldemort's resurrection was revealed in advance, he would not need to continue to bear so much pressure in the British wizarding community.

"The master has given me other tasks... Please be sure to persuade him to give up the game." Before leaving, the house elf took off the communicator from his wrist, handed it to Dumbledore along with the parchment, and then left in a hurry. He needs to follow his master's orders and take the McDougal sisters back to the safe house.

Looking at the Muggle watch-like thing in front of him, Dumbledore fell into a brief silence. Finally, he continued to communicate with Albert, and it would be better if he could convince him to give up the game.

Dumbledore carefully looked at the dark wizard named Avger in the audience. According to the information provided by Albert, this guy is actually Voldemort in disguise?

To be honest, even Dumbledore couldn't see it.

"How did you figure it out?" Dumbledore's eyes fell on the parchment, and he immediately understood what was going on.

There are two pieces of parchment inside. The first one is densely packed with countless ink dots, but the second one is the player's rest area, with ink dots marking Albert Anderson on it.

It seems that Anderson is more cautious than I expected, and now I just hope that his preparations will work!

Before the duel, the narrator is giving an inspiring speech.

"...a magical feast of this magnitude tonight, our descendants will envy us for witnessing such a remarkable moment!"

The duel competition kicked off with excitement and cheers.

However, the surrounding noise suddenly disappeared, as if someone pressed the pause button. Many people stood up in unison, and there were even choking sounds from around them. Some viewers even buried their faces in their hands in horror.

The duel on stage is over.

Yes, it's over!

After just one round of confrontation between the two sides, Pierre, who was favored by countless people, died. He was instantly killed by black magic, which shocked many people instantly.

Voldemort cast spells very quickly, and used black magic equally neatly. The spells from both sides collided with each other in the air, and then... Pierre was crushed by Voldemort. He almost watched the spells being pressed towards him. , even if Pierre directly announced his surrender, it was already too late.

he died.

Hit by black magic and died cleanly.

Even without using Avada's Kedavra, Voldemort can still kill people.

However, for Voldemort, the Avada Kedavra is obviously more practical, because as long as the spell hits the target, it can quietly take away the opponent's life.

After Voldemort killed his opponent, Dumbledore immediately sent a message to Albert. He still hoped that Albert would give up the game.

However, the answer I got was still: Don't worry, he won't be able to kill me for a while.

Dumbledore really didn't know where Albert got his confidence.

If Mr. Principal knew that Albert's confidence was him, he would definitely tell him to stop making trouble. There was nothing he could do to prevent this from happening while he was on the stage.

After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore approached the organizer directly, preparing to appear under Voldemort's eyes and create some pressure on the other party.

In fact, Dumbledore's face is still very good. Except for the British group, everyone is still willing to give him face.

Although the players have signed a magic contract, even if they die in the duel, it has nothing to do with them, but... if it continues, it will definitely affect the holding of the next duel competition.

No one wants to risk their lives to compete.

Dumbledore was invited by the organizer to be a special guest and will preside over the game together with the referee to avoid similar troubles in the future.

When Albert entered the room and saw Dumbledore, he knew that he was safe against Voldemort, and now he should concentrate on dealing with the guy in front of him.

"Let's make a deal!"

The dark wizard Percival was not in a hurry to take action, but said to Albert with a smile: "I can give up on my own initiative, but... if you become the runner-up, your runner-up bonus will belong to me. If you become the champion, I will give you everything." Didn’t say anything.”

"Just give up like this?" Albert looked at the guy in front of him warily, for fear that he would make a sneak attack.

"I don't want to fight the dark wizard Avji. That guy is very dangerous, and it's not worthwhile to lose your life. If you want to fight with that guy, I suggest you accept my suggestion and use the best possible method." "Ignoring the referee's stunned gaze and the shouts of the audience, I think it's not bad for you!"

"You have great ideas. If I agree, aren't you afraid that I will regret it later?" Albert did not refuse. It would be better if the other party surrendered directly. It doesn't matter if they don't surrender and fight.

"Dumbledore, you should have heard it too!" Percival said to the old man, "Be a witness."

Dumbledore nodded expressionlessly.

The second duel ended with Percival choosing to surrender due to an internal deal.

Of course, they were greeted by a lot of trash and angry curses.

Everyone was very dissatisfied and shouted for the organizer to refund their money.

They spent so much money to see the exciting duel competition finals, not to see these things.

"I like the way they look angry but there's nothing they can do about it."

Percival still had a smile on his face and didn't care if someone threw something at him.

Well, even if an excited audience cast an arrow spell on him, he still had a smile on his face. No matter what, this trip was not a loss.

To put it bluntly, most of the dark wizards who are willing to participate in the competition come here for money.

"Mr. Percival, are you sure you want to give up the game?" the referee asked with a dark face.

"Yes, I will also give up later." Bohivar said with a smile, "I remember that players can surrender!"

"Of course, but if you just give up like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue participating in the International Wizarding Duel Competition." The referee reminded with a dark face.

No matter how you look at it, this game was screwed up.

If they refund the tickets, they will probably lose a lot of money, and it won't work if they don't refund the tickets to everyone, if they don't want word of mouth.

You must know that the tickets for the final of the duel competition are far more expensive than the previous two games. Logically speaking, it should be the most exciting game, but it ended up causing a lot of trouble.

"I definitely don't want to die in vain. By the way, I suggest you advise that boy. He was an excellent young man. It would be a pity to die like this." Percival also didn't think Anderson could beat the dark wizard Avger.

However, these words are not like what a dark wizard would say at all, but maybe Percival just made a lot of money and is in a very good mood!

The wizard's expression twitched, but after much hesitation, he still planned to negotiate with Albert.

Of course they know about Albert Anderson, who is a fairly famous genius and is famous in many fields.

However, no one really knows how good Albert Anderson is in dueling, but in the dueling competition, Anderson undoubtedly showed amazing talent and strength. He felt that such a person really shouldn't die here, at least Dumbledore didn't want him to die here either, so the old man took the initiative to assume the position of special guest.

"You really don't want to give up. There's no shame in giving up the game. Besides, there's no need to take risks. Your life is worth more than ten thousand Galleons."

"I never think I will lose!" Albert refused. "I will go all out when the time comes. You may have to pay attention to the aftermath of the battle." The referee advised earnestly.

The organizer's referee cast a pleading look at Dumbledore. The situation today was so bad. If someone else died, it would be better to just give the trophy and bonus to the dark wizard Avger.

Of course, there is another reason. The gambling house has mentioned it before, saying that as long as they can persuade Albert to give up the game, they are willing to help pay half of the championship bonus.

However, Albert still decided to have a try with Voldemort. He wants to grow, and this process is inevitable. When it's relatively safe, it's a good choice.
