Chapter 208 Godric's Armor and Daphne falling asleep

"If you fight against me, you won't be able to notice the difference between you and me."

This was Rice's answer.

Is there really any difference for ordinary people between standing in front of a 10,000-meter-high pillar and standing in front of a 100,000-meter-high pillar? They are all endless, towering wonders.

If you want to appreciate the difference in strength between the two, you must at least reach the level of Capricorn before.

Seeing what Les said, Daphne couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: she was very eager to fight Les. After fighting against the students of Hogwarts, Daphne's self-confidence has greatly expanded. Now she just wants to know how big the gap is between herself and Les. It turns out that Les doesn’t intend to compete with her anymore...

Daphne thought too much, and Les complained, and he would not miss the opportunity to teach children. Just as Les was about to go into battle himself and teach Daphne a simple lesson, he caught a glimpse of a set of armor placed in the corner of the hall.

Different from the full-body plate armor that is common in castles and conforms to people's stereotype of Western European knight armor, this armor is much simpler. The whole body is made of riveted iron rings, and the head is a pointed nose helmet. The style is incompatible with other armors in the castle, and the surface of the armor is covered with a lot of rust and dirt. It looks like no one has maintained it for a long time.

Filch dug out the armor from somewhere and brought it to the lobby on the first floor. He didn't know if he wanted to renovate it or just get rid of the old antique.

"Eh? Why is this thing here?" Les was stunned for a moment.

"Huh?" Daphne followed Les' gaze and discovered the tattered chainmail suit.

"It's such a rare type of armor." Her attention was also attracted by the unique shape of the chainmail armor.

"It is in the shape of armor from the Norman Conquest period, which means this armor is probably left over from the Founder's era." Les carefully considered his words, trying not to expose any flaws.

Daphne:!

"Regarding this style of armor, I once learned a piece of information when... talking to Bloody Barro. They have been enchanted and can fight automatically after being activated."

A smile appeared on Daphne's lips: "Didn't you see it from the wizard's letter this time?"

"The letter mentioned a few words, and then I checked with Barrow. What was said in the letter was true." Rice replied without blushing or heartbeat.

Unlike the stone statues that are scattered throughout the castle and shoulder the important task of protecting the school, this armor is positioned as a "teaching tool" and is used by the four founders for students to practice fighting.

This armor was named after Gryffindor, the most adept at dueling among the four, and was called "Godric's Armor" by them.

The founders had limited energy and could not provide high-quality combat guidance to every student, so they added magic to these Godric armors to give them the ability to duel. Even better, Godric's armor can also switch fighting styles, giving students a different experience every time.

Les quickly walked to the armor, took out his wand and waved it on the armor's surface. The rust and oil between the iron rings disappeared.

However, even though the surface has been completely renewed, this armor is still far less imposing than those of full-body plate armor.

Les's wand connected points on various parts of the armor, and the armor was quickly adjusted.

"One day you can defeat this armor, you can come to me for a duel!" Les took the armor, placed it in front of him, and told Daphne the threshold for challenging him.

"Really?" Daphne's eyes sparkled, and Astoria behind her also looked eager to try.

"Of course, you can go with Astoria, and it counts if you fight together." Rice even lowered the difficulty of the test for Daphne and allowed her to form a team to challenge.

"No need, she will only hold me back." Daphne said confidently that she didn't need her sister's help at all. Of course, if her sister needs her help to qualify for a duel, she will not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Astoria narrowed her eyes: her sister seemed to be in need of a spanking.

"Confidence is a good thing." Les was noncommittal. He had seen many young wizards with such self-confidence. Godric Armor would teach them how to behave.

"Would you like another day? You've had so many fights today, you must be tired, right?"

Daphne waved her hand, indicating that she could do it now.

"Okay." Les waved his wand, and the armor came to life. A large amount of air suddenly poured into the linen robe under its chainmail, which propped up the originally dry armor and became bulging. From a distance, it looked like... Like a strong man like an iron tower.

The armor slowly came down from the stand, and with a bang, two red flames ignited in the pointed nose helmet.

Daphne suddenly regretted refusing to team up with her sister - the armor was two meters high, and with the flames between the nose helmets, it looked quite scary.

Godric's Armor won't take care of the little wizard's emotions, are you afraid? Even if you are afraid, you have to come and fight.

"Bow to it to start the duel." Les said softly from the side.

Daphne swallowed a mouthful of saliva: Looking closer, this armor is so oppressive!

She bravely walked to the front of the armor and bowed to it. The armor returned the bow and directly pulled out the long sword from her waist. The next second, blazing fire burst out from the long sword.

Daphne:!

She subconsciously released attack magic to block the armor's attack, but the armor just raised the buckler tied to her arm and easily blocked Daphne's attack magic.

Immediately afterwards, the armor rushed towards Daphne with long strides.

The giant creature, which was more than two meters tall and covered in chainmail, charged at full speed. The visual impact was extremely strong. Daphne did not dare to neglect and flew directly into the air - as long as she could fly high enough, this kind of close combat was impossible. You can't hit yourself with similar armor... right?

Facing Daphne, who almost flew to the top of the corridor, the armor was indeed beyond its reach, and it stopped charging.

Just when Daphne was about to condescendingly bombard the armor with a saturation spell, she saw the armor raise the flaming sword in his hand.

Daphne:?

The next moment, the sword was swung fiercely, and a three-foot-long crescent-shaped flame was peeled off from the sword and flew towards Daphne.

Daphne:! ! !

She directly changed the flow of magic power and released a protective spell in front of her.

As a result, when facing the flaming crescent, Daphne's protective spell only lasted for a moment before it shattered. The crescent-shaped slash hit her in the abdomen, knocking her heavily to the ceiling of the corridor.

Daphne's eyes darkened and she lost control of her magic power.

boom!

Daphne fell from the air, hit the ground, and fell to the ground motionless.

Astoria: (｀Д)!!

Fortunately, I didn't do it, otherwise it would have been an extra stab!

Seeing that Daphne seemed to be knocked unconscious, Godric Armor put away its sword and silently returned to its stand, returning to its original state.
