Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

On the day he obtained the villa, Mike had added Professor Flitwick to the whitelist of the protection system, so Flitwick could enter and leave the villa at will. However, according to Mike's understanding of Professor Flitwick, Flitwick will notify himself first even if he has something to do, unless it is a major event.

event?

Thinking of this, Mike's heart trembled, and when he looked at Professor Flitwick's rare serious face, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Professor Flitwick saw that Mike had almost recovered, so he said:

"Mike, I have already contacted you about looking for a swordsman teacher, and the other party said that he can teach you."

Hearing that Mike was happy at first, but then became nervous again.

If it were just this, Professor Flitwick wouldn't be so serious, and there should be a turning point later.

Sure enough, Professor Flitwick paused for a while and then continued, "But my old friend has one condition."

"What conditions?" Mike swallowed his saliva and asked nervously.

As soon as this statement came out, Professor Flitwick was silent for a while, and the expression on his face gradually became a little embarrassed.

"Well, you know, when I was young, my temper was a bit erratic, I didn't care much, and I liked to show off, so I offended a lot of people." Flitwick said, "The swordsmanship teacher I found for you, He lost to me back then, and I said some very outrageous things at the time, so he kept holding a grudge."

"so what?"

"So he wants to fight again!" Flitwick's expression changed from embarrassment to seriousness, "but since he was injured for some reasons before, and now he has become a lame, so this duel is up to you and him He is willing to teach you only if you win against his disciple."

Mike, who was a little nervous by Professor Flitwick's serious expression, was stunned for a moment after hearing Flitwick's words, and then his body, which had become a little tense because of the tension, relaxed and patted his chest. Professor Flitwick said:

"Hey! I thought it was something! Isn't it a wizard duel? I will definitely win it for you! Don't forget your student, I am the duel champion at Hogwarts!"

However, Mike's promise to pat his chest did not make Professor Flitwick's face relax, but became a little more serious, as if he was even more optimistic about Mike because of Mike's underestimation.

Mike knew that something was wrong at first glance. He sat on the sofa opposite Flitwick and asked, "Could it be that the other party is very strong and is the kind of wizard who has been famous for a long time?"

"That's not true, the other party is only three years older than you, and should be the same age as Penello now." Flitwick sighed and said, "But the other party's path is a bit strange, his cultivation system is completely different from yours and mine. . To be precise, what the other party is practicing should be a system that specializes in restraining wizards and magical creatures."

Hearing that, Mike had a look of doubt on his face. He has been absorbing the knowledge of the wizarding world in the two years since he came to the wizarding world. After he understands it, the most mainstream and most powerful transcendent cultivation system in the world is wizard.

Now suddenly there is an extraordinary system that specifically restrains wizards, which is really incomprehensible to him.

But then, Mike's pupils shrank suddenly.

Strictly speaking, he did come into contact with another training system, and the other party did have a set of countermeasures against magic, that is, the special mirror image of the Ravenclaw holding a long sword that only existed for a few minutes in the final trial. .

Speaking of the mirror image named Geralt, Mike was impressed.

The opponent is really too powerful, with instant spells, exaggerated magic resistance and physical fitness, plus that gorgeous swordsmanship. To be honest, if Mike wasn't lucky enough at the time, and the other party only existed for a few minutes, Mike would have been beheaded by him long ago.

Shaking his head, Mike temporarily threw this idea out of his mind. He had never even met the other party, so it was too early to draw a conclusion.

And even if the other party really followed Geralt's path, so what?

Even an opponent like Geralt can make a few moves on his own,

The other party was only in his teens, and he didn't believe that he could beat him when he killed Mike.

After thinking for a while, Mike regained his confidence, and again showed a confident smile and said to Professor Flitwick: "Don't worry, Professor, I will not lose!"

Seeing this, Professor Flitwick was still a little worried, but he still had a smile on his face in order not to discourage Mike's enthusiasm.

To be honest, he really didn't have much confidence in Mike this time. His old friend himself followed the Godric-Gryffindor duel route, which is also the oldest one, holding a sword in one hand and the other in the other. The ancient dueling method of wands.

This duel method is very powerful, but it has great drawbacks.

First of all, he needs extremely high swordsmanship talent and great perseverance.

Needless to say about perseverance, cultivating the body and swordsmanship is much more difficult than cultivating magic. And if you don't have talent, just relying on perseverance is useless. In the end, you can only train half-baked. The battle between wizards is still dominated by long-range artillery fire. You foolishly run over with a long sword and chop people. Be careful to be killed by a kite.

In addition, people who take this path also need a magic weapon.

Otherwise, even if you are close to the opponent and have a chance to shoot, but your weapon is too bad, what's the use of cutting through the opponent's armor?

The population base of wizards is already small, and there are even fewer people who have talent and are willing to work hard to practice. In addition, in the goblin rebellion, the goblins lost the technology to create the magic-breaking silver sword, resulting in fewer and fewer good silver swords. So the genre slowly declined.

As for the old friend that Professor Flitwick spoke of, although he used the ancient dueling method with one wand and one long sword, he had gained some fame in the international wizarding duel circle and defeated many powerful wizards. But most of that is just because this genre has been lost for a long time, and everyone is not very familiar with it. His own strength and talent are actually not strong, so after his way was figured out, he was quickly defeated and became a like Professor Flitwick is a stepping stone to this budding duelist.

But his apprentice is different. His apprentice is said to be a real genius who has already shown his skills in the dueling circle. Most of the new generation of dueling wizards are not his opponents.

Mike, who was sitting opposite Professor Flitwick, finally saw a smile on Flitwick's face, and his heart relaxed a lot. After adjusting his sitting position to make himself more comfortable, he asked, "Then what? Where does a master swordsman live? Let's visit him sometime."

"emmmm, actually...they're in my house right now..."

Mike's hand that was about to pour the teapot to help Flitwick suddenly froze in mid-air. He looked at Professor Flitwick in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he said.

"Huh! Let's put it this way, my old friend is a little impatient. So he did not choose to reply after receiving my letter, but came to the United Kingdom directly from the United States with his apprentice." Flitwick The professor sighed and said, "I only met them today, so I came to your house non-stop to look for you."

Mike withdrew his hand for the teapot, and sat on the sofa in silence.

He didn't really feel that Flitwick's temper was a little impatient before, after all, there are many impatient people these days.

But he didn't expect that Professor Flitwick's old friend was so anxious that he came across the ocean from the United States to the United Kingdom as soon as he received the letter.

It seems that Professor Flitwick has a lot of hatred with his old friend.

What are the two great enemies in life?

The hatred of killing his father and mother, and the hatred of taking his wife.

Looking at this posture, the hatred of killing his father and mother is not enough. Could it be the hatred of taking his wife?

Immediately afterwards, Mike thought that the country he was in was Britain, which is known as a corrupt country, so would it be because of love and hate like Dumbledore and Grindelwald?

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. No wonder Professor Flitwick, who has both power and money, is not married yet. It turns out...

Mike frantically thought about it, and his mind was full of some words such as strong men, men plus men, and knowledgeable men, and the eyes that looked at Professor Flitwick became more and more strange.

On the opposite side, Professor Flitwick obviously didn't notice the brainstorm in Mike's head, and he sighed and signaled Mike to go with him to see the old friend.

Ten minutes later, Mike and Professor Flitwick appeared at the door of Flitwick's house.

On the way, Professor Flitwick walked very slowly, and the five-minute distance was delayed by him for ten minutes. Everyone could see that he was extremely reluctant to meet that old friend. Presumably this time, if it wasn't for Mike, he would There is absolutely no contact with each other.

Finally, Flitwick gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and pushed open the door of his house.

What appeared in front of Mike was the living room of the Flitwick house. Mike was all too familiar with this place. He had lived here for several months.

During that time, Mike's favorite thing to do was lie on the huge sofa in the living room and read a book.

At this time, Mike's favorite sofa was sitting on an old man with mottled and knotted hair and tattered clothes, who hadn't taken a bath for a long time.

Even though the old man was sitting on the soft sofa, his waist was straight, his eyes were closed, and he looked like he was meditating with his eyes closed.

But Mike and Flitwick are both wizards, or wizards with extremely powerful spiritual power. The stronger the mental power, the stronger the five senses, so they could clearly hear the slight snoring from the old man's nose and mouth.

On the other side of the living room, next to the wine rack, a boy about 175 in height and dressed in the same style as the old man was staring intently at the top of the wine rack.

Mike originally thought he was studying the precious spirits on the wine rack, but after a closer look, he realized that the boy's sight was actually a magic wall clock hanging above the wine rack.

The appearance of this magic wall clock is the same as that of ordinary wall clocks. However, the dial and hands in the wall clock are cursors composed of pure magic. This kind of cursor can emit light, so it can make people see the time clearly at night. It is the electronic clock of the wizarding world.

It seems that the research was too engrossing, and the teenager did not find that Flitwick had returned with Mike.

So he slowly stretched out his hand to touch the wall clock, but since the wall clock was hanging too high, he climbed onto the wine rack.

Seeing this, Professor Flitwick finally couldn't help it, and he coughed lightly to remind the two people in the room that the master had returned.

Flitwick's cough wasn't really loud, but the two people in the room heard it.

The first was the old man sitting on the sofa. Almost at the moment Flitwick coughed, Mike saw his slightly lowered head suddenly pause, and then turned to look at the door.

It was only at this time that Mike could see the appearance of the old man. This was an old man with a dark complexion and an extremely old appearance. Most importantly, the old man was missing an eyeball.

Generally, people who are blind in one eye will wear blindfolds, sunglasses and other decorations for beauty, but this old man is different, there are no decorations on his face.

His right eye is intact, and his sharp eyes give a sharp feeling, but the inside of his left eye is hollow, the sunken deep pit with wrinkled skin and black and white mottled long hair gives a very unusual look good feeling.

In layman's terms, this guy knows that he is not a good person at first glance!

On the other side of the living room, the teenager who was climbing the wine rack was startled when he heard the sound of coughing. He lost his balance and fell from the wine rack with a sudden shake.

However, this young man with dark brown short hair forcibly adjusted his posture in mid-air without being able to use force, and knelt down on one knee and landed smoothly on the ground in a superhero-style action.

I have to say, he is very handsome.

It's just that he was fine, but the wine rack suffered.

Driven by his actions, the huge wine rack tilted unexpectedly. Although it didn't fall over, the wine on it still fell a lot.

Professor Flitwick's pupils shrank suddenly, the wine on the wine rack was his collection over the years, and he was usually reluctant to drink it.

The young man also found the abnormality above his head, and he jumped up again with a flick of the body.

But after all, he is also a human being, with only two hands, so he still became a caught fish from two bottles of wine.

Just as the wine bottle was about to fall into pieces, a crisp finger snap echoed in the living room.

I saw Lolo, the house elf of the Flitwick family, snapping his fingers with his right hand raised, while the two bottles of wine that should have been broken were floating in the air.

Seeing this, Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a thankful look at Lolo, in exchange for Lolo's excited smile.

The teenager also carefully put down the wine bottle in his arms, turned around and smiled embarrassedly at Professor Flitwick at the door, scratching his head.

But just as he turned around, Mike's brows suddenly wrinkled.

Because, the pupils of this young man were actually golden, and they were still vertical pupils.

It's like... like a snake's pupil...
