Fortunately, Professor Flitwick looked like he was only joking, so he quickly changed the subject along Jordan's words.

"Okay... I believe that after the Duel Club was established for two years, our students have roughly understood this point - that is, two-player battles and single-player battles are two completely different concepts.

The most important thing in heads-up is the control of magic power, the grasp of rhythm, and the direct collision between two different magic systems. Whoever is stronger will win. This is almost an iron rule.

But it's different when it's 2v2 - 2v2 is not a simple two-to-one pair. Pure violence can't give you an advantage in the double cooperation. It emphasizes the control of the scene and whether the double is not. Can be moved as a \"whole\'.

Li, I heard that you and the Weasley twins are good friends. You should have a deep understanding of this. "

Li O Jordan said without hesitation: "Yes, the two of them are absolutely insoluble in a duel. You dare not attack any of them rashly, because the two of them are like one person."

Unlike Ms. Duan Hulu in the first two games, Professor Flitwick is also a funny person, so he explained the game and Lee Jordan simply complemented each other.

"Yes, that's what it is. 2 to 2 is not a simple division of labor. Those who think "you cut vegetables, I will cook the pot" are all those who cooperate and pay a heavy price. It involves casting speed, and Ilvermorny's very good support magic, and it also has higher requirements for both sides' positions.

Many magics that are not practical in a duel will become very scary in a duel, such as continuous control magic, or the damage is high but the side effects are also

Great magic.

Well, on the basis of understanding this, let's take a look at Ilvermorny's diagonal formation - two people in front of one behind - left and right, this formation can maximize

To increase the opponent's attack surface, and to carry out an effective division of labor.

The person at the front has a relatively short time from casting the spell to hitting the opponent, so it is often the main attacker, while the person at the back is either a support type or an autistic spell system that is afraid of interference and needs teammates' help. Control the scene. "

Lee Jordan took a look at the scene - and found that, as Flitwick said, Stewart in the front - had been controlling the tornado, and the small fireballs were attacking from time to time, while the senior warrior Bout acted as support instead. The two are using various wonderful spells to protect the safety of the two.

"And what about Durmstrang?" Jordan asked, pointing to the two of them, who were standing in tandem.

Professor Flitwick can understand it at a glance, or this little thought can't be hidden from him who has been immersed in this way for a long time.

"Obviously, the tight front-to-back stance is for the safety of the casters in the back row.

"He says.

Lee Jordan still doesn't understand: "But there is Krum behind, which means...

"In other words, Krum, who was hiding behind, should be making a big move. Flitwick answered his question simply.

Chapter three hundred and sixty-ninth, the organs are exhausted

What big move Krum is doing, Lee Jordan, at his current level, can't see it at all.

But an obvious fact is that the tornado that Ilvermorny and the two summoned is getting bigger and bigger.

As Professor Flitwick explained just now, the formation of the two warriors of Ilvermorny belongs to a "diagonal position", with the "attendant" Stuart at the front attacking, while the senior warriors at the back are supporting instead.

Stewart threw a small fireball at the two of Krum, while distracted to control the tornado beside him, he seemed to be at ease.

It's not that Krum didn't think about knocking Stuart out first and making him incapacitated, but Bu ^[Temple's support made them miss several attacks.

Whether it was pulling on the invisible thread or the long-range bounce spell, it was difficult for Durmstrang to attack Stewart effectively.

So they naturally thought of going to attack the oblique Bout - if that's the case, kill the supporters behind first!

But the problem is that the invisible thread seems to be a two-way magic. Not only can Boot use it to adjust his position in the front row, but Stewart can also use it to help Boot dodge Durmstrang's attack.

What's more tricky is that after Durmstrang chose to attack the back row, because of the position, they were equivalent to exposing the flanks to Stewart in front, so that he could throw fireballs more recklessly.

Up to this point, Durmstrang and the other two couldn't find the first characteristic of Boot - he was better at defense and support than offense.

When a wizard does nothing but relies on various shields and defensive spells

When rebounding, unless you pour a spell that far exceeds the opponent's capacity limit at one time, it is difficult to break through the 5 (inch square defense.

The duel continued in this stalemate for a while, until the female man finally realized that the inconspicuous tornado had begun to blow the gravel on the ground.

This tornado has been doing nothing since it was called out. At most, it disrupted the sight of Durmstrang and the two of them in the middle of the battlefield. Christopherson didn't even notice when the tornado became so huge. Because she didn't see any move from Ilvermorny to strengthen it.

Just then, Stewart threw a fireball at them again, which she deflected impatiently with an Iron Charm.

The fireball was bounced into the open space, and because it was close to the water source, the ground was very wet, and it did not ignite the moss on the ground.

However, because Christopherson noticed the relationship between the tornado, she finally found that when the fireball exploded on the ground, the tornado became even bigger.

Although she did not understand that the formation of tornadoes was caused by the updraft and vertical wind shear caused by unstable energy, and she did not know how many years American wizards had studied tornadoes, this did not prevent her from judging from experience that it was Iraq. The people of Falmonie stopped on purpose.

"They're strengthening that tornado with flames!" she yelled behind her.

Krum nodded gloomily, signaling that he knew about it.

"It's going to be over soon," he assured. "Whether it's a tornado or anything."

Christopherson, of course, knew his plan, so he didn't say anything, but continued to attack.

From just now until now, the magic spells they have used are not complicated, such as stun spells, exorcism spells, restraint spells, etc. Even if ordinary students don’t know how to use them, at least they have heard of them.

However, from now on, Durmstrang's two began to use some Nordic magic,

"It's freezing cold!"

"Snow cruel ice gluttony!"

Seeing that Durmstrang's people suddenly stopped targeting their shields, but began to use ice and snow magic, how could the warriors of Ilvermorny not know that their small plans had been seen through.

But what's interesting is that although the ice magic did block the updraft, it made the tornado stronger in the short term.

This can only be said to be terrifying without culture - the formation of a tornado is a complex multi-factor process, so the short-term alternation of cold and heat has caused a more severe vertical wind shear, which is beyond the comprehension of wizards.

Seeing that their plans were seen through, the two of Ilvermorny immediately stopped covering up.

Boot stopped his actions of continuing to maintain the defensive line, suddenly turned on the offensive, and began to use polymorphism on the tornado to change its nature. Stewart no longer used those fireballs that looked mighty but could not hit at all. Instead, he used strong light to try to interfere with the Durmstrang Warriors' counterattack.

— Time, Durmstrang here is dangerous.

After the tornado is changed in nature by the Transfiguration, the effect can be said to be immediate.

If it was like a kitten with its belly exposed just now, now it is a hungry tiger, and it seemed that it couldn't even lay down on a grass, making a roaring sound, passing by. Wherever there is flying sand and rocks, no grass grows, and a

It was completely different a minute ago.

Even Professor McGonagall, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but let out a "huh"—this kind of air deformation was something she had rarely seen in the past few decades.

First, the rotten leaves wrapped in the tornado were given a metallic texture, and then part of the gust of wind was given the quality of running water... Although it was a coincidence, the difficulty of this magic still surprised Professor McGonagall.

It's a pity that Boot is already in the seventh grade, otherwise Professor McGonagall would have let him come to Hogwarts to study for a while.

Krum tried to manipulate the tornado with Transfiguration, and after finding that his understanding of it was completely inferior to those of the two Americans, he even gave up.

It seems that the people of Ilvermorny are deliberately planning for this moment. Although running away seems to solve the problem, Krum can't guarantee that if he runs away, the people of the British Ministry of Magic will directly condemn him.

It should be counted... In the "play, this is just a conflict between warriors, no one will die, so as long as one side loses, the winner of this room will be decided.

Fortunately, Krum did not intend to run.

"I wanted to save another two minutes, but it looks like they don't plan to give us a chance. oo Heather, come on!"

Christopherson nodded, then reached out and took a stone from his pocket and threw it to the ground.

"Break apart!" she shouted, pointing her wand at the stone.

With the sound of her incantation, this seemingly ordinary piece of stone naturally shattered into pieces.

Everyone watching the game was baffled, and no one knew why Durmstrang's warriors suddenly broke a stone in the middle of the game.

But they soon found out that it collapsed because of something in the distance.

Production said.

Then, the whistling sound of the rushing river reached the ears of everyone present, and even the slight vibration of the ground could be felt.

The two of Ilvermorny were taken aback as they finally understood what Krum had done.

They must have blocked the mountain stream with magic when they were in ambush. And the stone that was crushed should have been deformed synchronously, and it was connected with the "eye" on the embankment.

"You're crazy!" Boot yelled at Krum.

No wonder Krum's attack is so weak, it turns out that most of his magic power is used to block the water.

Krum didn't bother to talk nonsense with them at all. Not only did he not reply to Boot's rant, he even added a code for what he did.

"Raise the wind and waves!" He took out his wand and pointed behind him.

Now the audience can also see what Krum and the others have done. And the torrent, which was originally mixed with mud and stones, became faster with the blessing of Krum's magic.

That was the magic that the Nordic Viking wizards used to control ships, and it was really overkill for Krum to use it for duels.

Seeing this situation, the two of Ilvermorny no longer hesitated. They immediately gave up control of the tornado, quickly took out the door key, and activated it.

No way, they don't have the confidence to use Apparition in this situation, let alone fly away without any flying props.

As for escaping? Ha, are you kidding? Can you run?

Chapter 370 Cheating is a glorious tradition of competition

This game, which was long enough to be talked about by the audience for a long time, finally announced its end with a mess in the cheers of everyone.

After seeing the people of Ilvermorny flee, Krum and the others simply activated their door keys and sent themselves back to the game to avoid the flash flood.

Seeing them reappear, everyone gave their applause without hesitation.

The magical duel between the two sides is both confrontational and grand, as well as new and never-before-seen magic from a foreign country. There is no doubt that this thrilling battle is enough for the audience to relish it for a long time.

It's just that the warriors can just let it go, but the Ministry of Magic can't. Because of the out-of-control tornado and the sudden eruption of the mountain stream, it was enough to alarm the local Muggles.

And they were indeed alarmed - the local Muggle weather station immediately issued an extreme weather warning, and evacuation alerts were issued to locals through TV, radio and even home phone calls.

But most of the locals didn't take it seriously, and even regarded it as a joke

If the eruption of the mountain stream was probably due to the melting of snow and water, and within their understanding, then the tornado, which has never been heard of only on TV and radio, is really too "squeaky". Some.

The bad weather in the UK can happen to anything, and tornadoes are not uncommon. More than 30 are encountered every year. The probability of occurrence in a square mile is even greater than that in the United States, but most of them occur in the southeastern coastal areas, plain areas, and mountainous areas. The fact that the tornado is too much of a bullshit.

"I'm afraid the weather announcer is drinking too much? April 1st hasn't arrived yet!" While listening to the radio, they mocked the weatherman on the local radio station.

Muggle sluggishness and numbness finally gave the Ministry of Magic a chance to move, and the Aurors and the Curse-Reversal Squad had to swear and scold for Durmstrang and Ilvermorny. The "children" pick up the pieces.

There are tornadoes in the sky, muddy water on the ground, and it's still the coldest January, even if these Ministry of Magic staff are masters of spells and transfiguration, it's still a little tricky for them to clean up these things right away. Arrest, not to mention that the members of the I\'B logoffs are also responsible for erasing the memories of the local Muggles who have noticed the abnormality.

Fortunately, the task of negotiating with high-level Muggles was kicked by them to the Department of International Affairs and Cooperation, otherwise they would be really annoying.

It's not over yet, and the staff at the Ministry of Magic can't help but feel a little irritated when they think that these warriors haven't finished the game yet, and that there will be a few more duels like this in the future." Even if they knew they would get a fortune Expensive overtime pay is the same.

"Which **** designed such a game process?!" They couldn't help complaining.

Inside the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Gilderoy Lockhart sneezed loudly.

"What, freezing?" Moody asked in a loud voice.

\"No, it's probably some beautiful lady who remembered me again, this kind of thing is very common." Lockhart rubbed his nose, "but then again, it's really cold enough for you to light the fireplace. ?"

He looked at the fireplace, which was sealed by Moody, and felt a little regretful.

"No." Moody replied firmly, \"I will never give anyone the opportunity to sneak into my office."

Lockhart was noncommittal because he felt Moody's paranoia of persecution had returned, but given that Voldemort was eyeing everyone, it was appropriate to let it be.

There's no harm in having a flare-up

"There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days," Lockhart said. "Our mission is to lure thieves over, not to be a thief." Moody could not agree with Lockhart's idea. .

"Never mind that it's their turn to roll the dice again," he interrupted.

Heart

Lockhart hurriedly took another look at the Marauder's Map Flying Carpet, but still couldn't find any suspicious names on it.

Before rolling the dice, Cedric glanced at the room map on the screen.

He and Harry had reached room 15, and with an "8" dice on their hands that didn't work, they were undoubtedly in a very favorable position.

But the three schools behind them are chasing very tightly, and as long as the other party is willing to roll the dice, they may be able to launch a sniper attack on the two at any time. Their leading position is not guaranteed.

Even if the situation was a little difficult, Cedric didn't plan to use the number "8" so early, firstly as a precaution, and secondly because after watching a good battle, he felt that his blood was too cold. Some boil.

Cedric suddenly realized that he had a faint hope that the people behind him would catch up and challenge the two of them.

Such a thought only appeared in Cedric's mind for a moment, and then was thrown away by him. As a well-trained honor student, he would not let his emotions break through his reason.
