Chapter 972: dark horse

The suburbs at night were quiet and eerie, as if everything fell into silence, and even the houses on both sides of the street turned off their lights.

However, some figures could be seen walking on the side of the road.

As long as you take a closer look, you will find that there are several Spanish police officers. If an unsuspecting Muggle passed by, they thought something was going on here.

However, the sticks in the hands of these "policemen" have already revealed their identities.

Employees of the Spanish Ministry of Magic are on a mission to patrol the building. Although the surrounding area has been released to expel Muggles, it is impossible to avoid possible accidents.

As soon as Albert Apparated to the open space near the gym, he saw someone walking towards him, a male employee of the Spanish Ministry of Magic, who came to him to register his identity.

After he directly identified his contestant and took out his contestant card, the wizard said formulaically: "Contestants, please come to the No. 9 entrance. From there, go to the contestant waiting hall. There are specially registered personnel at the entrance."

Albert walked in the direction of the wizard's finger, and soon saw a "road sign" written in many languages, telling the players where the number nine entranceway was.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance, a loud noise rushed towards us.

There is a table at the entrance, and there is a box similar to a lottery on the table. There are four grids next to the box, which are also marked with 1, 2, 3, and 4. According to the waiting room for players, it is divided into 4 areas.

The wizard took out a card from the box with the number 1 on it, then threw it back into the box and motioned Albert to draw it himself.

Albert took a card at random from the box, marked "3" on it, that card was placed in Sector 3, and Albert was instructed to go to Sector 3.

The area inside the passage is very large, there are about two or three Hogwarts halls, which are divided into four areas, each area has a lot of small round tables, a bit like a coffee shop.

In fact, you can actually order drinks here, just not for free.

As soon as he arrived in District 3, Albert saw several Aurors who were maintaining order, wearing very serious robes, a bit like civil servants.

The existence of these guys should be more of a deterrent.

He didn't think there was a way for these Aurors to maintain order if unrest broke out here!

Before entering the third area, you need to draw again, this time in the order of drawing.

The Spanish Ministry of Magic obviously has a lot of experience in organizing duel competitions, and has arranged the entire competition process properly without any confusion.

Albert glanced at the round number in his hand, the number on it was: 17.

After he put the number plate in his pocket, he found an empty seat and sat down. There were many people around him who cast curious glances at him, obviously surprised by Albert's youth.

Of course, no one really took him seriously. Young wizards like Albert were the favorite opponents of other contestants because they could easily advance.

Albert took out a chocolate-flavored toffee from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. According to Bud, only after the round of sixteen, the tournament would test the players whether they were taking Fuling, or cheat by other means.

Well, the test method is also very simple, which is to drink a little diluted Veritaserum under the watchful eyes of the judges.

Then, someone will ask you if you have cheated.

As for cheating in the previous knockout rounds, it doesn't really matter.

Also, don't think that if you drink Fuling, others won't see it.

If you jump up and down during a game, it's easy to be suspected of taking phlegm.

In the end, he was taken to the test. Once he was found to be taking Fuling, he would be banned from participating in the International Wizarding Duel Tournament, and other events may also be permanently banned from participating.

Time passed, and after midnight, countless fireworks exploded over the stadium, kicking off the International Wizarding Duel Competition.

The players also entered the field in order. The football field is large enough to accommodate four games at the same time. Tonight, the top 16 of each district will be quickly screened.

Albert waited a quarter of an hour in Section 3 when it was his turn to play.

His opponent was a middle-aged brunette wizard.

When this guy found out that his opponent was a young wizard, he seemed to be in a good mood. When Albert smiled and greeted him in English, he replied in German, but it was not a friendly greeting.

Albert didn't care, smiled slightly at the opponent, and took the lead through the passage to enter the arena.

The original lawn of the football field has completely disappeared, replaced by a duel stage paved with marble. The scope of the stage is not very large, but it is enough for people to move. The rest of the duel arenas are far apart to ensure that other players are not affected in the duel.

The referee was a middle-aged wizard with a pointed hat and a blue flag, not far off the stage.

After the two entered the arena, the referee briefly explained the rules to them and let the two players take their places.

After Albert took the stage, his young and handsome appearance quickly attracted a lot of attention, especially after the photo of him wearing a fire dragon suit was published by Fengya brand wizard clothing store, more people knew Albert.

What girl doesn't like handsome and powerful men?

Of course, Albert didn't care about this. He focused all his attention on the opponent in front of him, raised his wand to his chest like a sword, bowed slightly towards the opponent, and listened to the referee's countdown.

"Three, two, one... start!"

The two raised their wands sharply at the same time, ready to use magic on each other, but Albert was obviously faster than the middle-aged wizard.

At least, Albert did not recite the spell, and almost as soon as he raised his wand, the spell flew directly towards the opponent.

The middle-aged wizard was startled by Albert's quick spell casting, gave up the half-recited black magic, and raised his wand to block the oncoming red light.

However, Albert did not give his opponent time to react, and the second spell was already coming. Unprepared, the wizard was knocked out by a huge force, and the third spell hit the ground again. The target directly disarmed the opponent's wand.

I have to say that Professor Flitwick's "three axes" is still very useful.

After the opponent loses the wand in his hand, he is disqualified from the competition.

"You lost," Albert said in German.

The middle-aged wizard struggled to get up from the ground and looked at Albert with astonishment. He originally thought that the opponent was a soft persimmon, but he encountered a hard stubble, and this guy actually knew German. When he was talking before, this guy could obviously understand, and he was still smiling there.

"It's definitely intentional, what a sinister guy." The middle-aged wizard was very depressed, he couldn't understand why the guy in front of him cast the spell so fast, of course he could do the silent spell, but... that kind of spell casting speed, that kind of magic The power of the spell is not at all like what he can master at his age, it's like cheating.

Yes, it's cheating.

That guy must have taken the Fuling pill!

Absolutely. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

When the referee raised the flag and was about to declare Albert's victory, the middle-aged wizard went directly to the referee to protest against the opponent's suspected use of Flux.

Albert looked at the wizard in front of him with a strange expression, and asked the referee, "Do you need to check?"

"No, I know you. I saw you win the championship with my own eyes last year. Let's do our best this time." The referee glanced at the guy in front of him who couldn't afford to lose, and said casually, "I don't I think there is a problem, he has the strength."

After the middle-aged wizard heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

"As if someone made sense of the outcome of the game."

The young wizard in charge of explaining the duel competition said loudly, "Let's hear what our referee has to say."

"That young gentleman won the gold award for spell casting last year, and I remember the news of his award was published in the newspaper." The referee said calmly, "I don't think he showed an extraordinary level of dueling, just To think he might have cheated is a smear."

"Okay, maybe we have encountered a dark horse, let's wait and see where this young player can go!"

"He seems to be famous?"

Katrina listened to the people around him discussing about Albert, and turned to look at Isobel, who was not very happy, "What's the matter, you don't seem very happy?"

"This is not good news." Isobel shook his head.

Albert has been targeted by the mysterious man and the Death Eaters, and his reputation also means he is too ostentatious, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

If the newspapers published the news of Albert coming to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Competition, God knows what big troubles will be waiting for him.
