Chapter 678 Friends

The angrier short-nosed dragon, stimulated by the pain, launched more violent attacks, but no matter what it did, these attacks could not cause any harm to Ethan.

All kinds of spells were cast one after another as he waved the wand in his hand, as if those spells that caused headaches for many senior students, and some adult wizards couldn't cast them at will were cheap wholesale commodities .

With Ethan's empty left hand lightly clenched, the short-nosed dragon found that the iron chain on its body was getting tighter and tighter, and its range of motion was getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, its claws could no longer be lifted at will. The wings and tail could not attack the enemy in front of him freely, and in the end he even had to bend down and attack Ethan only by twisting his neck and the flames from his mouth and nose.

When its neck had to be attached to the ground, suddenly several vines burst out of the ground, and then wrapped around the fire dragon's neck, firmly pressing him to the ground so that he could not move.

"Roar~"

The angry short-nosed dragon looked at Ethan who was close at hand, and finally spewed out a cloud of blue flames. Even if the hot flames were not sprayed directly at such a short distance, the heat emitted was not human. able to bear.

It was still useless, Ethan raised the wand in his hand, and the magic power gushing out from the front completely isolated the blue flame and the hot breath it carried, making it impossible to get close to Ethan.

"Call God to protect you!"

Ethan held the magic wand in one hand, released the God-calling guard, walked slowly to the position where the golden egg was, and reached out to take the golden egg in his hand.

At the same time as the golden egg was in his hand, the wand in his hand shook slightly, and the white magic power brilliance condensed by the call god guard suddenly burst out with strong light and power, shaking all the flames sprayed by the short-nosed dragon, and then the ball Like a heavy hammer, the white light hit the short-nosed dragon's head fiercely, knocking the fire dragon unconscious.

Dumbledore, who was sitting in the auditorium, saw Ethan knocking out the short-nosed dragon, and let out a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Ethan would not be able to hold back for a while, and directly knocked the dragon out in front of so many audiences. die.

Although the fire dragon has a bad reputation, killing a fire dragon in front of countless audiences is not the same concept as killing and hunting fire dragons in private. Get in the way of what some people think is cruel and uncivilized to kill a dragon on the spot.

Of course, if Ethan really did this, Dumbledore could only find a way to end it, but now it seems that Ethan has considered Hogwarts' reputation and position, and did not really stage the bloody scene in the Triwizard Tournament .

"It's shocking, is this really just a fourth grader?"

Barty Crouch of the Ministry of Magic also let out a sigh of relief, but unlike Dumbledore, he was frightened from the beginning to the end and did not dare to take a big breath. Until the moment when the fire dragon was knocked out by Ethan, he still couldn't believe it. This scene I saw.

A fourth-grade student, that is, just fourteen years old.

Think about what you can do at the age of fourteen? Barty Crouch shook his head helplessly. At the age of fourteen, he couldn't even use a powerful spell, but what Ethan just used was not just a certain kind of powerful spell, it even included the magic power of the god front. A powerful black magic like Shadow, and a powerful Patronus Charm like Call of God.

Even at the very beginning, Ethan's application of the flaming spell was not comparable to what he was back then - he felt that he couldn't do it now, so easily controlled the flames emitted by a fire dragon. Flames, even if those flames have dissipated a lot.

Needless to mention the rest of the spells, there are several techniques for applying magic power, which even he didn't understand.

"Perhaps Mr. Ethan Arendelle could consider visiting the Ministry of Magic after this semester is over?"

Barty Crouch considered whether he should start poaching people in advance. Such excellent talents should be locked up earlier.

"Let's wait until the end of the semester to ask him what he means. Let him concentrate on this game now."

"You're right, the most important thing now is the Triwizard Tournament."

Dumbledore knew that Ethan would only stay until the end of this semester and would not come next year, and Barty Crouch's undisguised solicitation was destined to bear no fruit.

Just when Barty Crouch was shocked by Ethan's strength, Mad-Eye Moody also looked at the field with a stern expression. He realized that he might be in trouble. With such a powerful opponent, how could he help Harry? Win the Triwizard Tournament?

Except for this malicious Death Eater, the other audience present were shocked that Hogwarts gave birth to another super genius, and this genius was stronger than before. Some people felt that Dumbledore was in this He wasn't that strong at his age.

Because most people were in shock, the arena became extremely quiet. Even Hermione, who was full of worries and hoped that nothing would happen to Ethan, couldn't react to the completely reversed plot.

It wasn't until Ethan came to the auditorium holding the golden egg that Hermione realized it.

"You defeated a dragon?"

"Yes."

"Defeated a fire dragon head-on?"

"Although the range of movement of the dragon was restricted by a lot of reinforced chains, it was still defeated head-on..."

Ethan didn't run or hide, he was within the range of the fire dragon's attack from the beginning to the end, so it should be considered a frontal defeat, right?

In fact, if you want to defeat such a large lizard that doesn't have much intelligence and only relies on instinct, except for breathing fire, it can only rely on claws and teeth. It only takes one thought to crush it into a meatloaf.

But it was inconvenient for him to do that. After all, there were so many spectators at the scene, and Dumbledore had taken care of himself in the past two years. He didn't mind thinking about the other party properly.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't hit hard. The most serious injury suffered by the fire dragon was that one of its claws was cut several times by Shenfeng Wuying, and Shenfeng Wuying was a black man with counter-curse. Magic, you can use the counter spell to eliminate the effect of this black magic.

This means that the Swedish short-nosed dragon didn't have any serious injuries at all, except that it was a little bit aggrieved, tied up a little tighter with chains, and finally hit by Ethan with the Patronus.

Of course, whether this big lizard will be born by Ethan's doubtful dragon and become a depressed short-nosed dragon from then on, Ethan can't control it.

I thought I would spend as much time as possible and use more spells to deal with this dragon, but did I still overdo it?

Looking at the reaction of the audience around, it was completely different from the reaction when Harry Potter raised the golden egg before. Although the audience started to cheer and applaud after the shock, it was just that the eyes of the 'monster' were mixed in it. accurate.

But he really didn't want to make him look ashamed like a weak chicken.

After thinking about it, I have to leave anyway, so the monster should be a monster, so that it can scare some people with ulterior motives - such as a special reporter who wants to get revenge on Ethan.

Because the impact brought by Ethan was too great, it took a while for the referees to recover and announce the results of the first round.

Without any suspense, Ethan won this match.

Fleur and Harry also passed the competition smoothly, and Victor, the only one who damaged the golden egg, was at the bottom.

Although the Triwizard Tournament requires three matches to determine the winner, everyone has now seen that Ethan's strength is obviously much stronger than other players.

This caused considerable psychological pressure on the other two academies. Furong originally asked for advice on the technique of casting spells without a staff, but she disappeared after the match.

Victor also left directly. The bottom of the first round of results and the strength of the competitors were too strong, all of which weighed on his heart like a mountain.

The happiest ones were of course the Hogwarts students, and after this match, the Slytherin students almost walked with their heads held high, feeling very proud.

Considering how long the Triwizard Tournament spans between games, Slytherin students can be proud for a long time.

Correspondingly, after that game, Hermione Granger always walked with her head down when she saw Ethan, and acted as if she didn't want to be seen by Ethan.

On this day, they bumped into each other head-on again. Ethan looked at Hermione who was looking down as if she was counting ants, and didn't continue to pretend not to see it.

"Is there any money on earth?"

"No, I just feel like a fool."

It wasn't until after that match that she realized how powerful Ethan really is.

Facing a fire dragon alone, you can easily defeat it head-on. Even if he didn't notice it at the time, he realized afterwards how relaxed Ethan was. Counting from the moment Ethan walked into the arena, the fire dragon didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, it was simply beaten by Ethan unilaterally. Until the fire dragon was knocked out, Ethan successfully got the golden egg. There was not even a speck of dust on his clothes, and even his hairstyle was not messy in the slightest.

In comparison, her previous worries seemed like a joke. In addition, she thought that although the gap between herself and Ethan was not small, it was not impossible to catch up, and she secretly regarded Ethan as the target of her pursuit...

It was the impact of these thoughts and reality that made her avoid Ethan.

"How can you be a fool to worry about your friends?"

"But you are in no danger at all."

"Nobody felt that way before yesterday."

From the bottom of his heart, Ethan excluded Scathach, Illya, Leah, Rin Tosaka, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape... I won't mention the one who is no longer in this world: Logan in the sky.

"You will worry about me, but I am actually very happy."

"Really?"

"It means you consider me a friend."

"Of course you are my friend."

Hermione finally raised her head to look directly at Ethan, and emphasized it emphatically.

"But, do you consider me a friend?"
