Chapter 153 Xie Lin and the Dragon
Schelling was the first Warrior to play.
The whistle sounded, and Xie Lin walked outside through the entrance of the tent. He straightened his robe again, raised his head, and walked leisurely into the arena.
The design of the arena is like the Colosseum in ancient Rome. It is a circular arena with a wide field in the middle. There are trees, rocks, and ponds in it. Brand-new spectator stands are built around the arena.
The stands were packed, and hundreds of faces watched him from the stands.
It was afternoon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly. The golden sunlight shone obliquely on Xie Lin's body, dragging a shadow behind him, making his slender body even more slender.
The sunlight hit the young boy's radiant and handsome face, making his originally immature outline blurred; his figure seemed to be coated with a layer of faint golden light, matched with the charm halo of the Supreme Wizard's robe, the solemn and sacred golden halo came out through the body, and the whole temperament instantly became majestic like a mountain, so mighty and extraordinary.
Many little wizards couldn't help but have an illusion, as if Xie Lin was no longer the little wizard in the fourth grade, but the god of war in golden armor!
At the other end of the paddock, a silver-blue fire dragon stands impressively. It is lying on the high rock in the middle, with its two wings flapping slightly, probably to repel flies.Not far from the fire dragon, there is a golden egg.
Schelling was lucky. Since he was the first competitor, the Swedish short-nosed dragon was placed in the field too early, so at this time the dragon was taking a nap with its eyes closed.
This event was not challenging for Xie Lin. A fire dragon that lay still and gave Xie Lin unlimited time to arrange was far less difficult than his battle against eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest.
Schelling lowered his right hand holding the wand, silently concentrating on mobilizing the magic power in his whole body.
Suddenly, the magic wand in his hand was raised in front of his eyes, and the wand flew extremely quickly and smoothly at the fingertips, leaving afterimages in the air!
More than a dozen thick black vines grew wildly on the ground around the Swedish short-nosed dragon in an instant. The growth speed of the black vines was astonishing. The moment the dragon just reacted, it had grown to hundreds of vines, binding the dragon tightly to the ground. Trying to fly away from this dangerous place with its wings, more vines wrapped around its bloated body again, pulling it down from the low air, and fell heavily to the ground, making a violent impact sound.
At this time, the Swedish short-nosed dragon was covered with injuries and fell into a rage!
Among the known fire dragon species in the world——
In terms of the largest body and the strongest strength, it should be Ukrainian Iron Belly;
If it is the most wild, the most aggressive, and the longest attack distance, the Hungarian tree peak is well-deserved;
But when it comes to the destructive power of fire, no dragon can match the Swedish Short-Snouted Dragon!
The flames of the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon are different. It is the only dragon species that can emit bright blue flames. The temperature of the flames is enough to turn wood and bones into ashes in a second; and although it cannot emit a [-]-foot-long pillar of fire like the Hungarian Tree Peak, nor can it emit mushroom-like clouds of fire like the Chinese Fireball Dragon, but the flames it breathes have the widest coverage.
It can be seen that the flame of the Swedish short-nosed dragon is the strongest among many fire dragons in terms of quantity (firepower) and quality (flame temperature)!
Anger drove the Swedish short-snouted dragon out of its mind.It roared continuously, and the dense silver-blue scales on its body began to light up with a faint blue glow, and then it opened its mouth——it breathed fire!
The flashing dazzling blue flame is like a tall, wild and huge wave, overwhelming everything in sight.A gust of hot wind suddenly came out in the center of the arena, and even the spectators far away from the stands could feel the astonishingly warm hot wind blowing on their faces!
Astoria covered her mouth with worry, while Daphne and Murray looked calm. They obviously had a better understanding of Schelling's strength.
Murray even joked, "My good fellow, look at this temperature, I'm afraid that the Ugin forged by the goblin can be melted, right?"
Astoria clasped her two little hands together tightly and said, "Isn't this dangerous? Brother Xie Lin can handle it?"
Daphne patted her sister's little hand, and said calmly: "Don't worry, he will be fine. How can his strength be defeated by a mere fire dragon?"
The irrational Swedish short-nosed dragon sprayed blue flames towards its surroundings recklessly, and even its huge body was within the coverage of the flames.Under the action of the fire, the vertical and horizontal vines turned into ashes in an instant as soon as they touched, but at the same time, the scales on the dragon's body were also melted by the fire, peeling off the dragon's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all the hardships and injuries, the Swedish short-nosed dragon finally broke free from the shackles of the vines, spread its huge wings, and flew into the sky!
It raised its faucet high and made a long, deafening whistling sound. The sharp whistling sound broke through the sea of clouds and hurt the eardrums of the audience, so that everyone present could feel its anger eagerly.
In the list of dragon dangers, most dragon scientists and magical animal textbooks will rank the Hungarian tree peak first.
That's because the Swedish Brachysaurus lived in uninhabited areas in the wild, and humans were not its main source of food.Therefore, this dragon rarely comes into contact with people, and the fatal accidents it causes are even rarer, and it can be said that it has the lowest accident fatality rate among all dragons.
This creates the illusion that the Swedish Brachysaurus was not too dangerous.
If you regard it as a safe dragon because of this, then wait to be taught a lesson by the cruel reality.
Although the Swedish short-nosed dragon rarely attacks humans, this does not mean that it is a good-tempered baby dragon.Only experienced dragon scientists will know that when a Swedish short-nosed dragon really gets angry, it is definitely an existence that cannot be dealt with lightly, because it will let everyone know what is the real horror under the dragon's anger!
However, at this moment, the magic that Xie Lin has prepared for a long time has been completed!
Schelling's self-created protective magic—guarded by the gods!
With Xie Lin at the center, the sharp sound of the wind whistled, and the magic power emitting a strong white light quickly gathered and revolved around Xie Lin, like a magical tornado enveloping Xie Lin in the eye of the wind.Immediately, that indistinct magical tornado gradually materialized, and a wave-shaped magical power faintly appeared on it, tumbling violently——in the eyes of outsiders, Xie Lin seemed to be wrapped in a white waterspout with turbulent waves and an astonishing momentum.
The Swedish Short-Snouted Dragon slammed its body against the barrier with its claws in front of it while emitting a blue-purple blazing flame from its mouth.
boom!
The Swedish short-nosed dragon let out a tragic scream that resounded through the sky. The whole dragon fought back and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, but it still couldn't stop the subsequent impact from the rebound. Turning in the opposite direction in a controlled manner, it tumbled away, rolling up large swathes of smoke and dust.
Around Schelling, the gleaming shield still stands tall and undamaged!
There were neat cheers from the auditorium all around—"Schelling! Must win! Hogwarts! Must win! Schelling! Must win! Hogwarts! Must win!..."
Xie Lin spoke slowly, despite the noisy noise all around, his voice was still heard clearly by everyone in the field.
Rather than saying that he was talking, it would be better to say that he was singing—he opened his mouth and chanted the mysterious ancient language loudly, his voice was deep and powerful, like a song, every word and every pronunciation was like thunder at the end of the sky, shaking the eardrums of everyone present, everyone was shocked and quiet for a moment, Dumbledore even stood up directly in the referee's seat, and his old face, which had always been calm, showed a rare look of shock and loss.
Although Professor McGonagall is the dean of Gryffindor, Schelling can be regarded as her favorite student. She cares about Schelling no less than anyone else, so she couldn't help asking: "Albus, do you know what's going on with this kid?"
Dumbledore first frowned tightly, and then eased his brows again. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but it sounds like the dragon language, and it is probably the lost ancient dragon language..."
Ms. Maxim and several nearby professors suddenly showed expressions of disbelief.
In today's era, not to mention the ancient dragon language, there are almost no wizards who can speak the dragon language.
Karkaroff snorted loudly, and said with contempt on his face: "Albus, you can just brag... You want to say that a language you don't even know appears on a fourth-year student? When did Hogwarts become so fierce?"
The professors and Ms. Maxim knew Dumbledore well, and they couldn't help but frowned after hearing Karkaroff's words. Just when Professor McGonagall was about to refute, the audience all exclaimed in unison!
Every Hogwarts student must have read the textbook "Where are the Fantastic Beasts" (a textbook list for first-year students).In this book, the author Scamander explained that fire dragons are the most dangerous kind of magical creatures, no matter what kind of fire dragon they are, they cannot be domesticated.
Wizards may be able to force dragons to submit through torture. For example, it is rumored that Gringotts once trained a dragon so that when it heard a certain noise, it would recall the pain and could not resist.
But that's not real taming!
Once the fire dragon breaks free from its shackles and soars in the sky, it will no longer be suppressed, and may even retaliate fiercely.
"Fire dragons cannot be tamed" can be said to be an iron rule that wizards have learned from countless lessons in the past 1000 years. This concept has been deeply implanted in the hearts of all wizards, and everyone firmly believes in it.However, this iron rule was broken today under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Hogwarts teachers and students!
Xie Lin's ancient dragon language is magnificent and magnificent, as if accompanied by the sound of thunder, rumbling; each syllable carries the majesty of the ancient dragon, full of coercion from the superior to the inferior, suppressing the rebellious Swedish short-nosed dragon to the ground, unable to move its head, limbs and body, and can only utter a miserable and powerless cry.
It's Long Wei!
All fire dragons and sub-dragons are born with it, engraved in their blood, and the awe of the power of the ancient ancestors is the restraint and coercion they cannot resist!
Of course, the ancient dragon language is profound and profound, and it has been lost for a long time. Even the records of Professor Binns cannot be regarded as a complete inheritance, so Xie Lin did not really master the language completely, at most he just touched the threshold.
But this passage of ancient dragon language was carefully selected by Xie Lin and specially prepared for this moment.This is what the archaeologists have deciphered, the words left behind by the last ancient dragon. It can also be said to be some kind of prophecy. If it is translated into human words, the meaning of this passage is probably:——
"Dragon descendants of the future generations, the dragon blood has withered, but don't abandon the hope in your heart, stick to the pride of the dragon, the long night will pass, and the suffering will not last long. When the horn of the dragon is blown again, I hope you will still fly ahead..."
The Swedish short-nosed dragon had completely lost the power to resist. Sherin showed a relaxed smile, walked up to the fire dragon, stretched out his hand and patted the head of the fire dragon, as if patting a puppy, then picked up the golden egg, and held it up to the referee seat——
The auditorium that had just quieted down burst into a din that resounded through the sky again.
After completing the task, Schelling did not go back to the tent, but walked to the auditorium, intending to stand and watch the performance of the next three warriors.
The competition rules only state that those who have not participated in the competition cannot run out of the tent without authorization, so as not to "reference" or "copy" the methods of the warriors who are ranked in front of the competition, which will be unfair to the warriors who have finished the competition.However, the warriors who have finished the game are not required to go back to the tent.
