Chapter 18： Merlin

The last event is the spell game.

Dumbledore once again waved his wand at the Book of Merlin. The Book of Merlin closed suddenly. There was a whisper from the book. A cloud of smoke slowly rose from the cover of the Book of Merlin and fell to the competition. In front of the audience, he was finally replaced by a middle-aged wizard with a vague appearance. The most impressive thing was his deep and wise eyes, which looked very similar to those of Dumbledore.

Xie Lin couldn't help but said, "Merlin?"

The man looked at the four contestants with a slight smile, "Hehe, I don't think that after so many years, I still have the opportunity to be called out. Four talented young people, tell me, are you the testers this time?"

What? Trial? Isn't this a friendly match? When did it become a trial?

Percy replied first, "Dear predecessor of magic, hello, we are students of Hogwarts, and we are currently in a friendly match called Merlin's Test. Are you the last question of this game?"

The man pondered for a moment, looked at the professor's chair, and had a moment of eye contact with Dumbledore. Dumbledore tilted his head down imperceptibly, and the man turned around and said softly, "Is the college game? Interesting? …Young people, you can think of me as Merlin. I belong to his memory, sealed in the Book of Merlin and waiting quietly for the arrival of the tester. You are right, I am you... How can I say that, in the last level of this game, you must fight with me. Of course, you don’t need to defeat me. You only need to successfully **** the wand from me. You can go on separately or fight side by side. You can use whatever Any method is okay."

After talking about the man's hand, a small piece of dead branch flew in the distance. The dead branch fell into the man's hand and turned into a magic wand at a speed that was visible to the naked eye in the man's gaze. Then the man used the magic wand. With a light tap on himself, his body slowly materialized from the phantom, and the contestants could see lifelike skin and hair appearing on his body.

Meilin's appearance is not handsome, but he has an indescribable temperament. The eyes are as deep as the starry sky, and the lines of the facial features are carved with knives. It gives people a sense of wisdom that is hidden in the chest.

Cassius and Gemma looked at each other and nodded, while standing forward to challenge. Cassius’s duel strength is not weak, and his fast casting skills are very proficient. While achieving three shots in one flash, the attack path of the curse is curvilinear attack and dead-angle attack. Gemma casts the magic spell () out of thin air. Four big snakes with teeth and claws attacked from Meilin's front, back, left, and right directions.

Transfiguration spell is a branch of high-level transformation art. It can use magic power to produce something out of nothing, and transform magic power into entities. It is a highly complex and extremely difficult magic. Interestingly, for unknown reasons, the bird magic spell "Flying Bird Group" and the snake magic spell "Oolong Out of the Hole" are exceptions. These two are much easier than the others. Some excellent ones are lower. Grade students can also show it.

Although Gemma’s magic spell is not of a difficult type, it’s better than it’s stable, the illusion is more flexible and lasts longer, and the four big snakes can be transformed at the same time, showing her excellent level of transformation.

(Note: The duration of the illusion spell is determined by the caster’s magic power and the level of the transformation technique. Even if the magic power is strong, it cannot be maintained for too long without the spell, so the simple illusion spell is more preferred)

Mei Lin was attacked by four big snakes and three spells at the same time, but he did not appear to be flustered. He pointed his wand to the ground and tapped it lightly. The entire ground seemed to be shaken gently. An invisible wave of gas centered on Mei Lin, rippled. As the impact spread around, the impact of the gas wave was amazing. Even the audience in the auditorium tens of feet away could vaguely feel the wind blowing on their faces. The four big snakes that Gemma conjured were overturned by the air wave. It turned into smoke and disappeared; Cassius was so close to Merlin that he was blown up by the wind, and fell severely to eat shit.

Cassius and Gemma tried again several times before finally giving up.

Next, Percy and Penello, a couple of lovers, stood up and challenged at the same time very tacitly.

Percy inherited the magic inheritance of the Wesley family and the magical talents in the bloodline, and has keen fighting ability. Everyone in the Wesley family is a natural warrior. It can be seen that they can join the Order of the Phoenix within a few years of graduation from Bill and Charlie. Spotlight. Penello comes from Ravenclaw College and comes from a Muggle family. Although she is very smart and hardworking in her studies, her magic is more inclined to research scholars than combat warriors.

Percy first used the Transfiguration Curse to conjure a majestic flying eagle out of thin air, intending to **** Merlin's wand from the sky, and it could cause interference even if it didn't help, while Penello kept whispering in his mouth. Curse, frequently cast spells to change the terrain, a solid and heavy stone wall rose up in front of the two of them, obviously to guard against Merlin's blast wave.

Merlin lightly waved his wand and shot a spell, which accurately hit the flying eagle summoned by Percy, but he did not expect this to be a trap set by Percy. Once the flying eagle is hit by the curse, it will automatically initiate subsequent changes. Shu, a gun-like explosion sounded, which turned into dense, chirping birds that fell from the sky and flew around Merlin.

The corners of Merlin's mouth raised, and he whispered "very good idea...", he swiped his magic wand down suddenly and drew a circle. The movement was made in one go without any gaps. A circle-shaped blue wall of fire surrounded him. Burning raging, the wall of fire seemed to have autonomous consciousness, knowing how to deftly devour a flock of birds.

Schelling recognized this trick-Protego Diabolica, one of Grindelwald's masterful skills in the Fantastic Beasts movie!

While everyone was still marveling at the dazzling visual effects of the flame, an imperceptible red light flew from a hidden corner through the wall of fire towards the magic wand in Merlin's hand. It was a silent cast used by Percy!

This sneak attack really caught Merlin by surprise. Merlin had just released a big move. The magic wand was still trying to control the magic flame. Before the magic flame stabilized, Merlin could not stop the magic wand from casting the spell. But as the war wizard of the Dark Age, Merlin's nerve response to combat is not comparable to that of a wizard in the peaceful era. He raised his right hand holding the wand and didn't know what trick he did. The wand suddenly seemed to come alive and danced in his hand. Shake as dexterously. When the wand was hit by the disarming curse, Merlin was knocked back by the powerful reaction force five steps back, but the wand was still tightly held in his hand and was not taken away!

(Note: Diabolica and FiendFyre are not the same thing. Both types of flames have autonomous consciousness. They can distinguish and target the target that needs to be burned. FiendFyre burns everything.)

Most people can’t see the way, but Schelling’s Eye of Magic can clearly see the magic fluctuations flowing on the wand. It should be an anti-disarming curse that can be cast in a very short time, although it can’t completely crack the power of the disarming curse. , For example, Merlin was knocked back, but it was enough to keep the wand.

In order to resist Percy’s sneak attack, Merlin had lost the initiative, and Penello caught the gap and continuously cast disarming attacks. Although Penello’s total magic power is already at the level of senior students, her magic characteristics are biased. Yin is soft and dexterous, so she is not known for the power of magic spells, but under her graceful movements, the slender wand flies up and down dexterously at the fingertips of lush jade, bringing ripples between the wand tip, which is a combination of spells and spells. The connection between the two is perfect, and often just after the last spell is released, the wand enters the trajectory of releasing the next spell.

Merlin was caught in the embarrassment that he could only passively defend with the iron armor curse in such a ring after ring of attacks, and was unable to fight back.

At the same time, Percy’s ultimate move was ready, and strong vibrations came from the ground. The grass where Merlin was standing turned into a big clay hand, grabbed from behind him, Merlin was still busy resisting Pei. Nello's attack did not have time to dodge, and eventually his entire body and hands were tightly bound by clay hands. Then it was the time when Penello aimed at Merlin's wand and cast the last disarming spell. Merlin was unable to move and could not avoid because of being caught by the big hand, as if victory was in sight.

It’s a pity that Percy and Penello forgot about using a wandless spell. As a famous wizard duel, Merlin clearly knows how to cast spells without a wand. The disarming curse was blocked by the iron armor curse a few inches in front of Merlin, and then immediately. The big hands holding Meilin also cracked every inch, slowly turning into mud and scattered on the ground.

As students, Percy and Penello felt the little magic power left in their bodies, and they simply chose to give up. Although they did not succeed in winning the wand, the audience still gave warm applause for their outstanding performance, and even the referees in the professor's seat did not hesitate to give them two admiring eyes.

Compared with the performance of Gemma and Cassius before, I have to say that Percy and Penello, a couple of lovers, are significantly better in terms of the use of spells and the tacit understanding of collocation. To be fair, if Merlin hadn't relied on strong magic power and powerful wandless spellcasting skills, Percy and Penello would have won.

At this moment, Gemma and Cassius are sullen, with envy and unwillingness written on their faces.

Schelling saw that the two were so narrow-minded, and shook his head secretly, and walked forward to express congratulations and admiration to Percy and Penello. Percy proudly stated that he was an elite of the Wesley family, and kindly asked Schelling to study hard. As long as he took the OWL exam and became the prefect, he could easily achieve his performance today. Penello, on the other hand, humbly rejected Schelling's praise, claiming that he was just taking advantage of the upper grades.

Xie Lin smiled slightly, but he was thinking about a strange question in his heart: How did this pair of men and women with different personalities get together?

The only contestants are Cedric and Schelling. UU reading Cedric suggested that the two should join forces, but Schelling thought about it again and again and decided to politely refuse. After all, the two did not know each other, and there was no tacit understanding, and Schelling’s magic had a lot of large-scale attacks, which might accidentally injure his teammates. He felt that fighting alone would be more advantageous.

After seeing the performance of Percy and Penello, Schelling has realized that for the little wizard who is still studying at Hogwarts, it is impossible to take Merlin's wand with the disarming spell. Merlin proposed that "taking away the wand is victory" was a misleading goal. Percy and Penello made this mistake and kept aiming at the wand in Merlin's hand. In Xie Lin's view, if you want to take Merlin's wand, you must first knock him down!

The lessons learned by Percy and Penello gave Schelling a good reference. Schelling also realized that Merlin, who is strong in magic and proficient in wandless spellcasting, obviously cannot be defeated by physical restraints. To defeat Merlin, he has to be spiritual. Start at the level.

Xie Lin sorted out some tactics in his mind, calculated the situation of the field and the distance between the two sides, and then took a few deep breaths, calmed the inner tension and excitement, and then walked forward and challenged him.

As soon as the duel started, Schelling did something that no one had expected!

Xie Lin is like a cheetah. With a kick on his feet, his figure turns into an afterimage and rushes towards Merlin, as if he intends to use melee to defeat Merlin and **** the wand!

Xie Lin’s physical advantage that he insisted on exercising on weekdays appeared at this time. When he ran, he rolled up the whistling sound, and in Meilin’s surprised eyes he had entered the range of three feet in front of him, and Merlin took his wand to the ground without a hassle. A wave of invisible air swept towards Xie Lin with Merlin as the center, and Xie Lin, who had been prepared for a long time, used a magic wand to hit himself a little, Xie Lin actually flew!
