Chapter 88: ch-88
boom---!
Under Furong's awed gaze, the huge fire dragon corpse fell to the ground, almost filling the entire backyard.
Even if it was a dead fire dragon, it still carried a faint dragon aura. Wizards might not be sensitive to this kind of pressure, but Furong was a half-Veela with a quarter of magical animal bloodline, so her reaction would be stronger than others.
Hearing the noise, Lapona also rushed over quickly and looked at the fire dragon's corpse on the ground in horror.
He actually succeeded!
In many Western myths, dragon slayers are absolutely great heroes and are endowed with all kinds of legendary colors.
For example, Siegfried, Beowulf, and St. George in Germanic legends, and Lancelot and Saint Martha in English and French legends.
In fact, one of them is a wizard, and he has truly accomplished the feat of slaying a dragon.
But has there ever been a wizard like Tom who achieved the feat of slaying a dragon at the age of eleven in the history of the wizarding world?
Looking at the young man who was telling Furong about the process of slaying the dragon, Lapona was in a trance.
This might be the greatest opportunity for their Veela tribe in a hundred years. If Furong and Tom were together, they would have the blessing of a dragon slayer, and this dragon slayer would surely become even stronger.
Even though the French Ministry of Magic and the tribe have a good relationship, they are just using the relationship, and there are many factions within the Ministry of Magic.
There are also people who are eyeing the wealth of their tribe and even the Veela themselves.
However, the situation is relatively stable now, and with the restraint of other factions, the tribe is relatively safe.
But once the balance is broken, then force is needed to make others speak reasonably and calmly.
In addition, Furong acted so blatantly that it couldn't be considered that she was selling her granddaughter.
Lapona smiled knowingly and quietly left the back garden, leaving the space to the two young people.
The two of them huddled together tightly. After bathing in the dragon's blood, Tom's height was now the same as Furong, who was three years older than him, and they looked much more compatible.
"I used the same magic I used to save you that day, but fire dragons are really hard to deal with. A wizard can burn one to death in a few seconds, but a fire dragon can still be alive and kicking after being roasted for several minutes."
"Is that Fiendfyre? But the book says that Fiendfyre cannot be controlled, and only a few spells can counter it."
"This shows that the person who wrote the book is not as good as me, and even less good than the person who taught me, so they felt that the fire in the house was out of control.
"Huh, you just know how to brag."
"How can this be called bragging? If I could write a book, it would definitely be better than those authors."
"Then go ahead and write it." Furong's pretty face was full of bright smiles, and she said provocatively: "I will definitely be the first to buy it when you finish writing it."
"Forget it." Tom shook his head. "I'm afraid that if I write it, others won't be able to afford it."
The method of controlling Fiendfyre alone can drive countless dark wizards crazy. The knowledge of both Grindelwald and Andros is priceless. Tom must abide by the principle that the truth should not be passed on lightly.
Only those who are recognized by him and have trading value to him can obtain this precious resource.
Furong did not mock Tom this time. She felt that Tom's aura had changed after he killed the fire dragon. He became sharp and powerful.
Compared with those silly boys in school who show off themselves like peacocks spreading their tails, he is like heaven and earth.
Half an hour later, Furong felt that Tom must be very tired after the battle, so she told him to have a good rest and left the cabin.
But after integrating the blood of the fire dragon, Tom became extremely energetic and did not feel tired at all.
He sank his consciousness into his mind, observing the changes in the twelve trial talents.
The dragon-shaped characters have completely disappeared, replaced by a vast starry sky. In the starry sky there are twelve palaces, eleven of which are dim and only the first one is shining brightly.
In Greek mythology, twelve is the carrier of sacred numbers, and constellations are the product of myths projected onto the starry sky. Even Hercules left his eternal memory, the constellation Hercules, in the starry sky.
The zodiac in Tom's mind represents the progress of his trials.
His mental power was projected onto the second dim palace, and soon, the second task information of the Twelve Trials was transmitted by the palace.
[Second Trial: Holy!: Please gain the recognition and following of a unicorn. Reward: Obtain the blessing of the sacred beast, purify the soul, and improve understanding.]
The first trial strengthens the body and magic power, and the second trial strengthens the soul and understanding, both are very good rewards.
But...isn't this a bit too much to ask?
Only LSP knows LSP best. What is a unicorn?
In mythology, it is a symbol of purity and holiness. In reality, it also has sacred attributes and is very effective against black magic, but just because it is only allowed to be touched by pure girls, Tom has put it on his list of enemies.
He tried to communicate with the second palace, asking if they could change the task requirements, asking him to kill a few unicorns to gain recognition, etc. Isn't this asking too much?
Is it to make him dress as a woman?
Do you want to borrow some clothes from Furong?
Unable to think of any good solution, Tom decided to go to the study space to ask the two old masters.
But as soon as he came in, before he could say anything, Andros and Grindelwald both noticed Tom's changes.
"Blood fusion?" Grindelwald frowned. "Tom, have you found the dragon?"
"Yeah." Tom nodded and didn't hide anything: "I just killed that tree peak and took a dragon blood bath and the fusion was successful."
Andros and Grindelwald looked at each other.
If blood fusion was really as simple as Tom said, there wouldn't be so many deaths among wizards who tried, and so few who succeeded.
However, the two did not ask further questions, as there was no point in asking these questions.
They just understood why Tom was determined to slay the dragon with his own hands. It seemed that there was a huge benefit waiting for him.
Andros smiled and looked at Grindelwald: "It seems that the intensity of future training can be increased. With the fusion of the fire dragon bloodline, we can train for two more hours.
Grindelwald nodded in agreement: "With such good conditions, if we don't work hard, when will we be able to defeat Dumbledore?"
"Mr. Andros, from now on, it will be eight hours a day. Four hours for you and four hours for me. Black and white magic must go hand in hand to develop in a balanced way."
"Good idea."
These days, the relationship between Andros and Grindelwald was unexpectedly good. Tom was originally worried that there would be conflicts between the two due to their incompatible personalities, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
Andros is an extremely upright wizard, with the word "upright" written all over him, but that doesn't mean he is a pedantic person.
In the Dark Ages of Greece, pedantic and sanctimonious webmasters would not have a good end.
Andros's justice is a kind of enlightenment. He will not bully the weak, nor will he be afraid of the powerful. All truths must be expressed with fists and magic wand.
The patron saint is powerful because of his strong will and extraordinary talent, and has nothing to do with kindness.
It fits the saying very well: 'My heart and my behavior are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just.'
Grindelwald is not a dark wizard in the traditional sense. Although he has done many unscrupulous things, his ideal is for wizards to rule the world and no longer be rats hiding from Muggles.
You can say he is paranoid, but you can't say he is purely evil.
For Andros, this kind of thinking was actually quite consistent with the status quo of his time. Wizards were all nobles of the country and guests of honor in the court.
So the two of them actually get along quite well.
"You two, the problem with the fire dragon has been solved. I now have a new problem."
Tom expressed his need to be recognized and followed by the unicorn, to see what good solution the two older generations could come up with.
Grindelwald asked tentatively: "So as long as you succeed, you can obtain the power of the unicorn's bloodline again?"
Tom shook his head, and the two old men breathed a sigh of relief.
The blood of the fire dragon is certainly enviable, but they are also people who have seen and eaten it. For the level of the King of the Century, a blood talent is actually nothing.
But one more and they would all be jealous.
"It will not fuse blood, but it will purify the soul and improve its essence."
puff----!
Andros snorted, and Grindelwald's eyes twitched wildly.
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
The essence of the soul!
If the essence of a wizard's life is 1 and the essence of his soul is 1, then after fully tapping his potential, the strength he unleashes should be 1*1=1.
This shows that this wizard is a human.
Of course, not everyone can have a basic value of 1. Some may be higher at 1.2, and some may be lower at 0.8.
The essential improvement means that the number 1 in front has changed.
The strengthening potion that Andros gave Tom was a strategic treasure that could enhance the essence of life. This was not a potion formula he created himself, but a formula created by another powerful wizard.
The masterpiece of the prophet Psos.
Mopsus was a figure two hundred years earlier than Andros.
He was the strongest person in the kingdom at that time, a well-deserved King of the Century.
He possessed powerful prophetic abilities and defeated another prophet 'Calchas', helping the kingdom to its peak.
Unfortunately, he got involved in the royal succession, was secretly plotted against and poisoned, and died in a very miserable way.
But before he died, he issued the most vicious curse to the royal family: "You will die at the hands of your own son, and your son will marry your biological mother."
In mythology, this is the famous Oedipus Curse of the Theban royal family. The curse was passed down for three generations and directly caused the outbreak of the Trojan War.
After taking a round of potions, Tom's life essence was about 1.5, an increase of 50%, and the fusion of the fire dragon bloodline made this number increase again, and now it is at least 3. However, these are all improvements to the life essence, and there is no change in the soul.
But now Tom can even improve his soul essence. Even if it is slightly improved by 0.1, the overall increase will be much stronger than a single 0.1 increase in life essence.
This is the charm of the multiplier.
Tom looked at the two old men expectantly, hoping that they would give some constructive suggestions.
Grindelwald thought for a moment and said, "How about using the Imperius Curse? I have a unique skill in casting the Imperius Curse. I can kill the unicorn first and then 'resurrect it' to achieve the perfect state."
Tom's face darkened. "Stop joking. Do you think I don't know your dark history of killing Qilin and fooling the International Confederation of Wizards?"
"What I want is the recognition and following of the unicorn, not the unicorn puppet."
Grindelwald's face also turned dark.
Don't hit someone in the face, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them. Tom not only exposed their shortcomings and hit them in the face, but also exposed their shortcomings and hearts!
The conspiracy of the Kirin election was exposed, but this was not a big problem for Grindelwald. It was just that the follow-up handling was more troublesome and he could not be careless.
most
What Grindelwald couldn't accept was that the one who ruined his plans was Newt Scamander, the man who ran around the world with a stinky box!
Moreover, at the last moment, he destroyed the blood alliance, completely freed the restrained Dumbledore and turned against him.
Damn it, Scamander is a disaster, a huge disaster!
After scolding one away, Tom's last hope was only Andros.
Andros also thought of a solution at this time: "Beat him. If he doesn't obey after one beating, then beat him twice. If he doesn't obey after two beatings, then beat him three times. If he doesn't obey, then he deserves to be beaten. One day, the unicorn will get it.
"
Tom was in utter despair.
A dark lord and a thief.
How can we improve the magic world with this bunch of bugs?
Unable to think of a solution for the time being, Tom practiced with the two of them in turn, feeling the sudden increase in strength. An hour later, Yiliang returned to his original form.
The progress is obvious, the power of spells has been significantly improved, and all spells have their own power.
This is why among so many 5X-level magical creatures, only the fire dragon is the most representative, because other animals are just dangerous, but the fire dragon is not only dangerous, but also carries the upper pressure.
The dragon's might is suppressed. Any sub-dragon creature that has anything to do with dragons is at least 4X level.
Now Tom has also acquired the coercive attribute. Some weak-willed wizards can become uneasy and unable to concentrate before they even start fighting him.
The power of the curse will also be greatly reduced.
Putting the matter of the unicorn aside for the moment, Tom plans to go back to school to look up more relevant information before making any plans.
Putting on gloves and using Transfiguration to create a set of sharp knives, Tom began to deal with the dragon's body.
