MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 1358 life and death duel
Initially, Yaxley planned to turn Hogsmeade into the most popular black market in Europe, of course not only to make money, but also to help the Dark Lord absorb criminals from Europe and expand their own power, but also to stabilize their own power.
However, things don't always go as planned.
Hogsmeade has indeed become a well-known black market in Europe, and has gathered many ruthless and black people, but Yaxley has overlooked an important thing. Most dark wizards join the Dark Lord's camp, and more of them are actually In order to make better money.
Voldemort's reputation may temporarily overwhelm these vicious guys, but it is a matter of his own use, even Voldemort is not easy to use.
Conflict was inevitable from that moment on.
The rapid outbreak was purely caused by someone secretly provoking and intensifying the conflict between the two parties.
Of course, the Death Eaters were not as miserable as expected, but if all the dead were actors, it would naturally give the dark wizards from abroad the illusion that the Death Eaters were a bunch of trash.
Since they are trash, they naturally have no right to bully them, let alone control them.
The black market, which advocates free trade, ushered in freedom smoothly, which can be said to be what everyone expects. No one wants to share the money in their pockets with others.
People who enjoy the sweet fruit of free trade are naturally unwilling to give up the black market of Hogsmeade easily, and naturally unwilling to give up a place that can make a lot of money.
It's ironic to say that since Hogsmeade left the control of the Death Eaters, the law and order has suddenly improved, and it has become the most popular place in Europe.
It's not as chaotic as Yaxley thought because of the loss of Death Eaters. On the contrary, today's Hogsmeade is not like a black market, but more like a trading area like Diagon Alley.
If it weren’t for the fact that the items on the street vendors were all prohibited items, I’m afraid no one would really regard this place as a black market.
After all, dark wizards are not lunatics, they are all educated people, and they are involved in the black market more to make money, and Hogsmeade is undoubtedly such a good place, it is difficult for them to find a place like Hogsmeade in other places in Europe. In such a comfortable place as Germany, the dark wizards who come here to trade will even spontaneously maintain the environment here, and some unwritten rules are gradually formed.
Such a harmonious scene is undoubtedly a great irony to the Death Eaters, imprinting incompetent expressions on their heads. You must know that during the period when the Death Eaters controlled Hogsmeade, there were always several unsatisfactory incidents happening here every day. Happy conflict.
However, such a harmonious scene is destined not to last long.
This is the village of Hogsmeade, the territory of the Death Eaters. How could the Death Eaters, who had been dominating England for a long time, tolerate the fat that they couldn't control in their territory?
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Joko, he doesn't even think about these things.
After recording the name of the black wizard who came to reserve the defensive cloak in the account book, Zoko tore off the receipt and handed it to the other party, raised his hand and tapped on the blackboard next to him, and said in a slow tone to this outsider who is not good at English, "Deposit One Galleon, pick up the product in two days, during which the deposit is allowed to be refunded."
"OK, OK."
The black man gestured OK to him, left a Galleon and left with a receipt.
Looking at the half-book of receipts in his hand, Zoko felt that this world was really wonderful, and the items for defense against the dark arts were actually very popular among dark wizards.
Thinking about it, I feel a great irony. It turns out that dark wizards need Defense Against the Dark Arts more?
A sharp siren interrupted Zuko's thoughts, and brought Zuko, who was dreaming of getting rich, back. When he came to the window and looked out, he found that everyone had come out of the house. into brief chaos.
But the confusion was quickly quelled, because no fool dared to make fun of the alarm unless he wanted to die.
So the sudden sound of the alarm meant that the group of Death Eaters had returned.
"Look over there, it's a dementor."
I don't know who suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked towards the entrance of Hogsmeade, only to see a large black cloud rushing towards this side.
After a short commotion, the chaos quickly calmed down.
The death eaters brought back the dementors as early as they expected.
As early as a few days ago, someone in Hogsmeade spread rumors that the Death Eaters would definitely not be reconciled to losing control of this black market, and would come back with dementors.
The dark wizards who stayed in Hogsmeade temporarily to do black market business even held a brief meeting to discuss this matter.
Although this is a scattered group, everyone has their own ideas, and no one is willing to fight head-on with the Death Eaters, but the Death Eaters were too useless some time ago.
With more people than Death Eaters and stronger strength than Death Eaters, no one is willing to give up their interests in Hogsmeade and the great environment here.
As long as they don't run away in a hurry, how can they lose?
Naturally they will win, and they naturally don't mind giving a hard lesson to those guys who like to swagger against Voldemort and bully them.
Who doesn't like to beat a dog in the water?
As for Voldemort.
This famous second-generation Dark Lord is not even as famous as Dumbledore in Europe. Most wizards have at most heard of his name, and some people don't even know him, so naturally they are not afraid.
"Know the Patronus, drive those dementors away!"
I don't know who shouted.
Indeed, three dark wizards who knew how to use the Patronus Charm stood up and began to summon their own Patronus in order to resist those dementors.
Actually, most dark wizards are not afraid of dementors, but it still makes them somewhat uncomfortable around them, let alone from the enemy's side.
However, in the face of a huge number of dementors coming oppressively, the three patron saints obviously couldn't drive them away completely.
The dementors hovered over Hogsmeade, a cold breath enveloped the entire village, and a layer of white mist appeared on the window glass.
It seems that they feel life-threatening, and some people Apparate and leave, but the dementor alone can't scare them, let alone make them succumb, let alone it is the enemy that prevents them from making money.
A few more silver lights flew out from all over the village, joining the team against the dementors.
In fact, this is quite normal, after all, it is a group of strangers who do not know each other, so it is normal to have some reservations.
Of course, it is relatively rare for dark wizards to use patron saints.
Not only do you not need the Patronus Charm to protect yourself, but many black wizards think that using the Patronus Charm will risk backfire.
…
Outside the village of Hogsmeade, Yaxley, who led the Death Eaters back from killing him, had an ugly expression on his face. He never imagined that the dark wizard would use the Patronus Charm, and there were more than one of them.
Could this be a trap?
At this moment, Yaxley even had such an idea.
No way, who let his biggest killer be restrained.
Without the help of this dementor, it would be very difficult for them to subdue the dark wizards in Hogsmeade within a short period of time.
Yaxley wanted to retreat temporarily, but the current situation was not easy for him to take a step back.
"We must let these outsiders know whose place this is, and whose rules they must obey if they want to trade with the black wizard in the black seat."
After finishing the final mobilization, Yaxley led the team towards the entrance of Hogsmeade village. He regretted not bringing the giant and werewolf with him.
"Troublemakers are not welcome here."
"You're not welcome here, jerks."
A line of fire ignited in front of Yaxley, blocking the way of the Death Eaters.
"This is the domain of the Dark Lord."
Yaxley carried Voldemort out.
"Don't scare us with Voldemort, no one here is big."
"how dare you…"
Sharp voices sounded from the ranks of Death Eaters.
"Troublemakers are not welcome here."
"A life-and-death duel of wizards, to decide where this place belongs?"
Poshwal jumped out of the team and challenged the Death Eaters opposite, "Do you dare? Little bastards."
This is the solution they discussed.
At least, this method is actually more in their interests than fighting with the dark wizards.
After winning, everyone in Hogsmeade must give him two Galleons.
You can get a generous reward of thousands of Galleons in one go.
Others are not at a loss, just two Galleons, not only can solve the problem, but also watch a wonderful duel.
The most important thing is that they all have confidence in Bocival. After all, they are ruthless people who dare to hunt Acantara alone.
Yaxley's expression was ugly. Although he really wanted to go on stage and kill the one opposite him, but this...was too ridiculous.
"It seems that you are scared, don't you just want to drive us away with those dementors." Pocival provocatively said, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money, "or is there a hiding person in your group?" The **** who got up wanted to secretly cast the Killing Curse on me?
"What do you think this is..."
"We are all dark wizards, so naturally we rely on this to speak."
Bocival didn't care about those murderous Death Eaters, and continued to provoke, "You still want to start a full-scale war with us, but I don't think you have as many people here as we do, who gave you the courage? "
"Very good, duel." Yaxley gritted his teeth.
"It's a life-and-death duel." Pocival corrected, "Of course, if you are scared, I don't care if you have a few more."
"Very good, two assistants are allowed."
Although Yaxley felt that there was something wrong with this so-called life-and-death duel, it was better than the two sides directly fighting here, so he agreed after pretending to hesitate.
Yaxley ignored Poshvar, and turned directly to the Death Eaters behind him.
"Who's coming?"
He looked at Snape, but the latter did not stand up.
"Kill them, one thousand Galleons each." Yaxley threw out a big reward.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards.
After hearing that Yaxley offered a reward of one thousand Galleons, the crowd quickly became lively, and many Death Eaters were eager to try.
"You, you, and you."
Yaxley quickly selected candidates, among them there was only one Death Eater with good strength, and the other two were his favorite fighters.
"Boshvar, get rid of that group of trash."
Hundreds of black wizards were clearly divided into two sides, forming a semi-arc to surround the two people in the middle.
"Since you have proposed a duel, if anyone does not abide by the wizard duel rules, let's kill him together."
Yaxley took the initiative to stand up and told everyone present.
"Now, both sides ready!" cried Yaxley, putting his wand at his throat, "when I count to three, one-two-three-."
The duel began.
Poshwal suddenly raised his wand over his shoulder, and after counting to three, he suddenly lowered his wand towards the big blond man opposite him.
There was a loud bang.
A fireball flew out from the tip of the wand, and before the opponent had finished reading Avada Kedavra, the person was blown out.
Then there were two explosions in succession, and the big man fell directly to the ground, his life and death unknown.
"Boshvar, Boshvar!"
Seeing that Bocival killed the opponent so quickly, applause and cheers resounded throughout Hogsmeade.
"What idiots, are you British wizards just standing there and listening to you finish reading Avada Kedavra?" Bocival raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then walked forward slowly, "Avada Kedavra The curse should be used like this!"
next moment.
A green light completely overwhelmed the unknown Death Eater.
"you…"
Yaxley stared at him with wide eyes, he really wanted to raise his wand and use Avada Kedavra to kill the guy in front of him.
"This is a life-and-death duel, not a child's play." Bocival smiled cruelly at the Death Eaters, "Okay, I think he must be completely dead now, next one."
Yaxley looked at Snape, who shook his head, not knowing what it meant.
Anyway, I have no intention of going to the arena to duel with the opponent.
This can't be blamed on Snape, who made the duel on the other side look familiar.
Yes, Snape thought that looked familiar.
Albert Anderson seems to be the case.
That guy's silent magic is amazingly fast.
He even suspected that the guy in front of him was actually Anderson in disguise?
Sure enough, the remaining two assistants were not the opponent named Poshvar. Even if they were on guard from the beginning, the gap between the two sides was still very large, and they were easily killed in just a few rounds. Dead a mouse.
"You have already lost, if you still want to continue the duel, I will fight with you to the end." Bocival spat on the corpse on the ground, and said contemptuously: "However, it is impossible to defeat me with just you bunch of trash, Tell Voldemort to come himself."
"You will pay for this."
Yaxley left this ruthless sentence, and angrily led the Death Eaters to retreat.
"Look, those so-called Death Eaters are a bunch of trash. They will never try to take away our black market, our freedom, and the gold coins we have on hand. Let those trash go to hell!" Gallon's purse was full, and he shouted at the dark wizards, "I'll treat you to a drink tonight to celebrate this great victory."
Boshvar! Poshwar! Poshwar!
Countless shouts echoed over Hogsmeade village.
