Chapter 785 (1/2)
Chen ang and Lockhart bowed in opposition. Lockhart also explained: ”this is the duel etiquette in the magic world. As you can see, we hold our wands to each other's chest, and then when we count to three, we will issue a magic spell to each other... Of course, children, don't be nervous. I won't hurt your professor.”
”Thank Professor Lockhart for his explanation.” Chen ang nodded, ”I thought it was my job!”
As soon as the words fell, the exchange students of demstrom laughed loudly and without malice, and Harry and they laughed, but it was difficult to say whether the boys had subtle malice towards Lockhart.
”The formal duel between wizards has strict etiquette procedures. Before the duel, both sides should hold their wands in front of each other to show respect, or bow to each other. After that, both sides go to both ends of the field to start the duel. In a conventional duel, both sides need to use some magic to attack each other until one side loses its wand and its ability to fight back.”
”But in the magic world, there is a tradition that has never been mentioned, praised and recognized by the law. When the contradiction between you and a wizard reaches an irreconcilable level, you can reach a duel that ends with the death of one party. Of course, I emphasize here - this duel is completely illegal. However, if both sides are pure blood, they will die under the honor of the family During the fight, all witnesses will keep a tacit understanding, the loser will not appeal to the magic world, and the winner will remain silent, because this is - pure blood glory! ”
Slytherin and demstrom's students cheered loudly, and Malfoy shouted excitedly: ”pure blood glory!”
When the other three colleges kept silent, the exchange students of Slytherin and demstrom cheered enthusiastically. Although Slytherin had no rigid requirements, almost all the students in the college were pure blood, or pure blood supporters like Voldemort, while demstrom's students must be pure blood.
Hogwarts professors were silent, and they were obviously uncomfortable with this sensitive topic.
”Here, I will show you an ancient contract Magic - duel oath...” Chen Ang's wand shook slightly, and a silver light was emitted from the top of his wand to the sky between the two dueling people.
”Duel oath is a kind of magic contract, or secret spell. As an important part of ancient magic spells, magic contract has been weakened in modern magic, but it has not disappeared. It only widely forms the basis of modern magic in the form of constituent elements in magic spells, and most of the contracts in magic spells have played a very important role.”
”For example, the flying spell contains the concept of real right contract. If an item has a real right contract with others, it will be difficult for the flying spell to work if you can't get the owner's approval... That's why the flying spell can only fly its own items. Of course, if your spell level is high enough, you can use you and things when the owner approves you The contract power of the Lord establishes a temporary real right contract with the goods to attract the target goods. ”
”This is an example of the widespread use of contract magic in modern magic... Another magic spell with more obvious characteristics of contract magic is famous. It is a good helper for wizards to keep secrets, the red courage loyalty spell!”
”The duel vow I'm casting now is an ancient magic spell. It was widely used in the middle ages. At that time, the magic world had not formed a perfect and reliable law and legal guarantee implementation system. Witches loved dueling. Dueling is an important way for them to deal with contradictions and solve problems. It was a dark and bloody era. Your pillow reading in your childhood - poetry urn The legend of the three brothers in the Bidou story collection has reflected this. ”
”Owning the old wand, it was because he was invincible in the duel that he attracted the envy of the black wizard and finally died in a despicable murder.”
”At that time, the pure blood family had not been formed, and everything was chaotic and without testimonies. Many wizards had no notaries or witnesses during the duel, and even many wizards despicably violated the oath in the duel, causing great confusion. In that era when the oath magic was still developing, someone created this magic spell - duel oath.”
”Through the power of magic, the Dueler can't violate the fair duel etiquette and perform such evil deeds as sneak attack behind his back.”
”Now, please let Professor Lockhart show us.” Chen ang raised his wand and motioned to Lockhart.
Lohat was unable to ride the tiger, so he had to tentatively release a magic signature to the silver light above their heads. The silver light suspended above their heads exploded and turned into a pair of crossed silver * * sticks under the dome of the auditorium, indicating the success of the duel contract.
”One... Two... Three!” they waved their wands at the same time, but as soon as Lockhart made a vowel from his throat, he was hit by a green ray and petrified in place. Chen ang took back his wand, as if he was not the one who solved Lockhart as soon as the wand shook.
The professors of Hogwarts changed color one after another. Chen ang didn't even make a sound. He just made a simple gesture and sent out a strong black magic.
Seeing that Professor McGonagall opened his mouth in surprise and seemed to want to express some words of protest, Chen ang explained: ”Professor Lockhart was just hit by petrified rays. I weakened the power of this magic. Professor Lockhart can recover himself in less than half an hour. Therefore, don't worry about him...” he falsely pointed to Hermione who had jumped up.
Hermione blushed with excitement and protested, ”how can he do this!”
Ron rolled his eyes and muttered, ”this is a duel. It's Lockhart's own useless... The result was expected.” Harry kept nodding. Slytherin and Griffin's boys rarely reached a tacit understanding and burst into laughter.
Lockhart has only been here for two or three weeks, and it is a skill that makes all the boys in Hogwarts bored.
But the girls here have many of his little fans. They are still angry when they see Lockhart knocked down easily by Chen ang.
Chen ang turned a deaf ear to the following laughter and complaints. As the host and researcher of large-scale teaching and wizard blood research experiments, he really didn't care what the psychology of these experiments was. Chen ang calmly said, ”who knows why Professor Lockhart has no resistance just now.” Chen ang was rude to Lockhart and said directly: ”And what is the first element in the magic duel?”
”It's speed!” a demstrom exchange student stood up and replied.
”Well said! Demstrom plus five points!” Chen ang smiled: ”if we also participate in the College Cup...”
