Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Under Krum's leadership, the three of them easily entered Durmstrang.

The castle's tight defense is only for the outside. If someone leads the way and opens the door, the whole journey will be unobstructed.

After entering this magic school with which he has a close relationship, Les couldn't help but look around, and then he came to a conclusion: the successive principals of Durmstrang were obviously not as good at financial management as the previous principals of Hogwarts.

It is obviously also a thousand-year-old school, but the castle of Durmstrang looks quite shabby, without the magnificent style of Hogwarts.

On second thought, it may be related to the fact that Durmstrang is located in a bitter and cold place. There are not many magic families here, so how much money can be squeezed from the board of directors?

"The atmosphere here is not right." Rowena whispered.

Les nodded. He noticed it when he stepped into the Durmstrang campus. There was a faint stench floating in the whole campus.

This is not a metaphor like "the stench of the gods", it is really a bit smelly.

"Why didn't we see anyone?" Athena suddenly asked.

"Because today is Christmas, a special day, everyone is gathered in the auditorium." Krum's expression became heavy, "Karkaroff predicted a few days ago that a [great being] would come to bless today. It is for this reason that I took the risk of sending a letter for help in the name of Karkaroff."

Les and Rowena raised their eyebrows at the same time.

As two people with rich experience in fighting gods, they only heard a few key words to know what was going to happen here today.

Athena also understood what the so-called "blessing" was.

In essence, it is a blood sacrifice made by the existence in the underworld to have a body in the real world. The Greek gods did this before.

"You haven't accepted the blessing yet?" Just as Krum was about to lead the three people to the auditorium, Les suddenly asked him a question.

"No." Krum shook his head. "I learned something in the competition before. They benefited me a lot. I think the power gained by learning is much more reliable than the blessing. But today is the deadline. If I still refuse to accept the blessing today, Karkaroff will expel me from the campus."

Less flashed a smile on his face, indicating that he had no problem.

Soon, the three of them came to the outside of the auditorium. Here, the stench became quite strong, and it could no longer be called looming, but Krum didn't seem to notice the strangeness here, as if he had gotten used to this smell - living in an abalone shop, you don't smell the stench for a long time.

There was singing in the auditorium, and the melody sounded like a Christmas song, but if you listen carefully to the lyrics, it would be confusing, because it didn't seem to be the language of any country in the world.

"It feels like the language of the Mesopotamian generation." As an old Deng who is older than Les and Rowena, Athena vaguely identified the language used in the lyrics.

"Who cares, go in first." Les motioned Krum to go in directly, and the three of them would follow.

After the four entered the auditorium, the originally loud singing suddenly stopped. The students sitting in the seats shut their mouths and looked at Krum and the three uninvited guests. The whole auditorium fell into a rather strange silence.

Rice didn't care about it at all. He even had the mood to see how Durmstrang's food was.

After taking a look at the meals on the long table, Rice couldn't help but sigh: Only the Nordic chefs in the world can lose to British chefs in cooking.

What is this: dark and hard bread, various sausages, bacon, smoked fish, vegetable salads and thick soups that don't look appetizing at all, and various cheeses... Only the barbecue looks more tempting. But it's already good. Rice is mentally prepared to see the rotten delicacies on the long table after entering.

But it seems that the teachers and students of Durmstrang haven't gone crazy to that extent. At least they eat normally, but they are only normal in eating. Their mental and physical states are very wrong.

The auditorium was ridiculously quiet, with only the footsteps of the four of them.

At this moment, Karkaroff's voice rang out.

"Welcome, Viktor. Child, come quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time." He ignored the three people following behind Krum, as if he didn't see them.

Krum walked quickly to the teacher's seat and looked up at Karkaroff.

"Today is a happy day, because you are about to join our warm family. You are very lucky, and the truly great existence is willing to give us a more powerful blessing - if you miss it today, you will really regret it for the rest of your life!"

Karkaroff's face was full of the look of: Don't hesitate, you are the only one missing.

It must be said that he really values ​​Krum, and he wants to give his favorite student any "good things" as soon as possible.

Krum remained silent, but Karkaroff didn't care. He talked to himself: "Viktor, Viktor, what a good boy... a good boy! Not only did he join our big family today, he also brought us gifts!"

Karkaroff's eyes finally fell on Rice and the other two, as if he had just discovered them.

"Oh? So we didn't cast the Disillusionment Spell on ourselves." Rice made an unfunny joke, but Karkaroff laughed happily.

Along with his laughter, the professors sitting next to him also began to laugh, followed by the students in the auditorium.

Ten seconds later, the whole auditorium was filled with deafening laughter.

Karkaroff laughed so hard that he seemed to have used too much force in his violent laughter, so that the skin at the corners of his mouth cracked.

After the skin was torn, a foul smell emanated. Rice vaguely saw something squirming in the cracks of the damaged skin.

Krum also saw it, and his eyes were as big as the Golden Snitch.

It was not until this moment that Karkaroff restrained his smile. He rubbed his face with both hands and pinched the cracks like plasticine.

Then, he pulled out his wand and threw it hard on the table in front of him.

Then, he shouted with all his strength: "Tremble, today you will witness the coming of the true God!"

Les and Rowena watched his performance expressionlessly, with only one thought in their minds: I hope this [true God] is not weaker than Athena, otherwise the behavior of the three of them coming together is really clownish.

After Karkaroff roared, other students in the auditorium followed suit and threw their wands on the dining table in front of them. Then, the skin of each of them bulged.
