Foley Castle, the third floor of the underground spell training room, Link's Apparition Mantra training is still continuing.

Crackling—

Intermittent slight explosions reverberated in the training room.

With these sounds, Link's figure holding a wand also disappeared and reappeared in the wide spell training room, and each time it appeared in a different place.

After a long time, the explosion in the training room finally stopped.

Link's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he kicked the safety box in the corner.

There were only a few bottles of the awakening potions and starvation nutrient solutions that were originally filled in the box, and the rest of the potions had already turned into empty bottles and were randomly stacked at the bottom of the box.

Link drew out two tubes of the awakening potion and nutrient solution at will, mixed them and poured them into the mouth, and then continued to train the Apparition Mantra.

His training for the Mantra of Apparition is actually very simple, as just described, he continuously casts the Mantra of Apparition for an instant in the limited area of ​​the mantra training room.

Although based on the characteristics of the system, the Phantom Mantra that has been engraved into the system and obtained a level will not cause a wrong cast that will cause damage to itself.

But Link still hated this leveling method.

The reason is simple. Each successful cast of the Manifestation of Apparition can only provide Link with single-digit experience, which is nothing compared to the long experience bar.

This is too boring and too boring.

But Link has no other choice.

The wizards have very little research on space, and because space research is a project of the highest level, it has not been transformed by popular science at present, Link has no way to understand those esoteric research notes, and naturally there is no way. Gain experience through learning.

Ever since, he can only use the old method that practice makes perfect.

In order to increase the level of the Manifestation of Apparition as much as possible before the start of school, Link practiced leveling frantically almost 24 hours a day.

If you are sleepy, drink a tube of awakening potion.

If you are hungry, drink a tube of nutrient.

To this day, there has been no light and shadow change in the long-term high-intensity leveling plus the spell training room, so that Link has forgotten the specific time and number of days.

The only things Link cares about right now are the steps of the Phantom Shifting spell and the experience bar on the data panel that is slowly creeping at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

[76%…81%…93%…99%…]

I don't know how long it has passed.

After Link mechanically wielded his wand and teleported again, a long-awaited barrage finally appeared on his retina.

[Phantom Mantra lv3-lv4 succeeded! 】

The influx of knowledge caused Link's temples to rise slightly, but Link took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his face was full of joy.

He opened the data panel as fast as he could and started adding points.

[Skill points*1 confirm use]

[Phantom Mantra lv4-lv5 succeeded! 】

[Golden skill points *1 confirm use]

【Breaching the upper limit...】

[Phantom Mantra lv5—lv6 succeeded! 】

Hum—

It was like being hit on the back of the head by an invisible sledgehammer.

The flood of information caused Link to feel a sharp pain in his brain, and at the same time a violent buzzing sounded in his ears.

This is the consequence of Link's direct continuous addition of points, which leads to the influx of knowledge of lv4, lv5 and lv6.

It's just that Link doesn't care about these pains.

On the contrary, he even felt a little joy.

Those pains reminded him every moment that the boring journey of leveling was over.

Now is the time to harvest the fruits of victory!

With a smile on his face, Link fell backwards, and the Voldebat, which had been draping behind him, immediately dragged his body and slowly placed it on Arkham who came afterwards.

"Sizzle!~" (Congratulations! Link!)

Arkham said happily.

As a snake, he certainly couldn't understand the current situation, but this did not prevent him from perceiving Link's current mood.

As long as Link is happy, he is happy too.

Link lay quietly on Arkham, and when the pain in his brain subsided, he raised his wand again.

Snapped-

A faint white light flashed, and Link suddenly appeared 20 meters away.

Feeling the magic in his body, Link smiled with satisfaction.

The effect of Phantom Mantra lv6 is basically the same as he expected. It has reached an instant cast that can make him silent and wandless, and can be used as a flash.

However, this kind of flashing can only be carried out within a range of 100 meters, and the cast time, or cold blood time, is as long as 5 minutes.

This is already the limit area tested by Link, and the difficulty of casting the Manifestation of Apparition is originally the more difficult it is the longer the distance.

Of course, if there is an emergency, Link can also temporarily break this limit, but as a price, Link's body will suffer tremendous damage.

"call!"

Link took a deep breath, and tiredness swept through as his nerves relaxed.

This is inevitable.

Although the awakening potion can replenish energy and make people feel drowsy, it still produces a certain amount of fatigue residue.

The contented Link didn't resist this sleepiness, and lay back on the snake cake that Arkham had set up, and fell asleep neatly.

Link's sleep can be said to be so dim that he was so soft that he was so soft. It was obvious that Link could stand up after sleeping too much, opened the door and walked out.

The small button that had been waiting at the door immediately greeted him, and his large eyes were filled with tears, choked with sobs that he couldn't even speak.

Link waved his hand to stop the speech that Little Button wanted to make, and said first:

"First, let my mother and Emily know that I am awake, and then prepare hot water. I need to soak well."

The little button didn't wipe his tears when he heard the words, and snapped his fingers to move away when he nodded.

Just then Link stopped him again and said:

"By the way, how long have I been in retreat?"

"16 days! Master, you have been in the training room for 16 days! Today is August 29! The little buttons have been waiting at the door for Master to come out, little buttons..."

The little button immediately stopped when he heard the words, and began to talk while wiping his tears.

It's a pity that Link is numb all over now and has no interest in listening to this, and raised his hand to stop him:

"I see. Go ahead and do what I ordered earlier."

After that, Link took Arkham and Yo-Yo towards the bathroom.

…

An hour later, Link lay lazily in the soup pond, eating the grapes that Emily handed him, while listening to Old Klie outside the soup pond slowly telling what happened outside of him during his retreat.

Since the narrator is old Kled, the first thing to be mentioned is naturally about the situation in Germany.

From his story, Link learned that Dumbledore had fulfilled his promise. Under the selective ignorance of the International Wizarding Federation and the German Ministry of Magic, the markets that should have been occupied by the League of Despicables are now all occupied by Beckman. The family, or the Foley family gathered.

At present, the industry and strength of the Forli family in Germany have entered a period of rapid growth. It can replace the original despicable alliance within half a year, and while gaining a lot of benefits, it will become a new generation of giants in the German magic world.

And the situation above the mainland is even more interesting.

The war between Fudge and Barty Sr. did not temporarily truce because of Link's retreat.

In the recent period of time, apart from the fact that at the beginning, it was still a little unwilling to let go. After that, the two parties can be said to have completely torn their skins. They convened every day to meet with Wisengamo parliamentarians, and the court was frantically buying and encouraging media attacks. other side.

The most important thing is that both sides made a lot of jokes during this entire process of attacking each other.

For example, Fudge was caught in a photo dozing off at a press conference and accused of Alzheimer's, not suitable for continuing to serve as Minister of Magic.

Old Batty's side is even more exaggerated.

All his speech ailments and verbal errors in the recent period have been summed up and collected, and a set of magical photos have been made and published in the Daily Prophet, which made a big joke.

But at this time, the old Batty turned one eye and closed one eye when he tried the Death Eater, and no one mentioned the matter of his son of the Death Eater.

After all, the officials on both sides knew in their hearts that the beneficiaries of that incident were all officials from the Ministry of Magic. They pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud.

In general, the direct result of the conflict between the two parties is that the whole country and even wizards all over the world have eaten a big melon.

The media people in the magical world of the country are even more satiated.

The only people who are suffering are probably the members of Wiesengamo.

They used to stay in their respective posts with ease every day, or simply retire and return home to enjoy the blessings.

As a result, Fudge and Old Batty sent them invitations for meetings every day. The trouble was so big that they were worried that public opinion would not be good, and the congressmen were troubled by it.

Even a few senior congressmen have already taken sick leave and hid in the Saint Mungo congressman for magical injuries.

Today, the struggle between the two factions is nearing an end.

In other words, the old Batty and they are about to win.

Because Fudge simply couldn't persuade Burns to help him overthrow Dumbledore's testimony.

In this case, Fudge naturally became a stupid and bad representative.

This directly led to Fudge, although he was still the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, but his actual power was greatly restricted.

At least more than a dozen departments, including the Magic Law Enforcement Department and the International Magic Liaison Department, have begun to violate Fudge's orders, and instead follow the instructions of the old Barty and his members of the lawmakers.

The only departments that Fudge has held firmly in his hands are the Auror Office and the Department of Mysteries for a long time.

Among them, the Auror office is equivalent to the army, or military power.

The Mystery Department is a department that is responsible for containing dangerous or precious magic items, researching and developing them.

Equivalent to the National Academy of Sciences.

Just looking at it this way, Fudge's current power should be okay, after all, he still holds the two lifelines of the army and scientific research.

But in fact it is not the case.

The first is the Auror office.

As a politician who devoted himself directly to official career after graduating from Hogwarts, Fudge's prestige in the Auror office is actually not high.

Compared to the awkward and cunning Fudge, Aurors are more willing to obey the current Auror Office Director-Rufus Scrimgeour.

The reason why the Auror office is still in Fudge's hands is only because Scrimgeour is still willing to follow Fudge's orders.

But this does not mean that Scrimgeour would follow Fudge's words.

If it was an unreasonable or illegal order, Scrimgeour would simply refuse it.

He is not afraid of Fudge.

As for the Department of Mysteries, it is even more cheating.

As a scientific research institution, whether it is to continue ongoing research or to maintain those dangerous magic items, a large amount of Jin Jialong is required.

And even if there are silent people guarding them, the dangerous magic items in the Mystery Department will burst out from time to time in the future, causing huge losses to the magic.

Therefore, to Fudge, the Department of Mysteries is nothing more than a gold swallowing outdoor plus time bomb.

It was the burden that Old Barty threw to Fudge when they didn't want it.

What makes Fudge most desperate is that his support rate among the people has dropped to a freezing point.

It is foreseeable that if no miracle happens, he will lose the post of Minister of Magic when the next round of election starts.

"...That's probably the way it is."

Old Kled closed his notes and said with a big smile.

As for Sirius Black running over to see Link's madness after being rejected, and eventually being expelled by the hunters by force, he didn't think there was any need to tell Link.

"Uncle Klee, you did a good job. Of course, Old Batty did a good job too. It is estimated that the funds allocated to him will be increased by 30%."

Link in the soup pool was enjoying leaning against the pool wall and said without raising his eyes.

Hearing this, the old Klie outside was obviously taken aback, and began to mutter dissatisfied nonsense, but finally left the bathroom with Link's order.

After he was far away, Link opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the results achieved by the old Batty.

The results mentioned here do not mean that they defeated Fudge.

This victory was already in Link's expectation. He had made so much effort and arrangement for this, and it was a weird thing that Old Barty and the others couldn't win.

What really satisfies Link is that after the victory, the old Batty and others maintained full restraint!

Fudge probably never knew, but Barty had already had the power to directly overthrow his regime.

The reason he didn't do this was because Link asked him to exercise restraint.

Although they have now obtained power, they still need to do a lot of things that cannot be revealed in the process of fighting Voldemort and seeking benefits for the Foley family in the future.

At this time, Fudge continued to serve as the polished commander of the Ministry of Magic.

As the minister and commander of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge will be launched by Old Batty and Link at an appropriate time, assuming all the dangers and consequences.

This is the embodiment of maximizing benefits!

Thinking of this, the smile on Link's mouth became more brilliant.

Wow —

With the sound of breaking water, Emily slid into the pool and slowly came to Link's side along the pool wall.

She gently fiddled with the wet bangs on Link's forehead:

"What are you thinking about? So absorbed."

Link did not reply, UU reading www. Instead, uukanshu.com locked its gaze on Emily's body hidden in the thick water vapor. There were faint blue lights flashing in her eyes, and her breathing gradually became heavy.

"Forget it, I don't want to know, it's all trivial things anyway." Emily tied her hair up, leaned against Link's chest and laughed, "I think the most important thing right now is Do what we didn't do in the past, what do you think?"

"you are right."

Link whispered, his body pressed against Emily naturally.

"Huh—"

This night.

Asking at the moment when the rumbling thunder was scattered into bursts of thunderbolts, it couldn't help being thrilling. The thunderbolt was still clacking, and the dark cloud split open, shooting golden bolt-like lightning from the dense cloud to the earth. The thunder is roaring, the dark clouds are burning, the terrible blue flame is spraying, the sky is trembling, and the earth is shaking timidly...

At this moment, only the rose in the courtyard, delicate little flowers bloom among the faint green leaves, this fragrant flower is the only symbol of the passion of life in the rain.
