The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

In Forli Castle, in the spell training room on the third basement floor, Link's Apparation spell training is still going on.

Crackling——

Intermittent minor explosions echoed throughout the training room.

Accompanied by these sounds, the figure of Link holding the wand kept disappearing and reappearing in the spacious spell training room, and each time he appeared in a different place.

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

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

There were only a few bottles of refreshing potions and hunger-satisfying nutrient solutions in the box, and the rest of the potions had long been turned into empty bottles and randomly piled up at the bottom of the box.

Link randomly took out two tubes of awakening potion and nutrient solution, mixed them and poured them into his mouth, and then continued to train on the Apparition spell.

His training for the Apparition spell is actually very simple, just as described just now, the Apparition spell is continuously cast in the limited area of ​​the spell training room for instant.

Although based on the characteristics of the system, the apparition spell that has been engraved into the system and obtained a level will not have the result of casting mistakes that cause damage to itself.

Linke still hated this leveling method.

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

It's just too tedious and uninteresting.

But Link had no other choice.

Wizards have very little research on space, and because space research belongs to the highest level of projects, it has not yet undergone scientific transformation, Link has no way to understand those esoteric research notes, naturally there is no way Gain experience by learning.

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

And in order to improve the Apparition spell level as much as possible before the start of school, Link practiced leveling frantically almost 24 hours a day.

If you are sleepy, then drink a tube of refreshing potion.

If you are hungry, drink a tube of nutritional supplements.

Today, there is no light and shadow change in the long-term high-intensity leveling and spell training room.

So much so that Link has forgotten the specific time and number of days.

The only thing Link cares about now is the steps of casting the Apparition 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 waved his wand and teleported again, a long-awaited barrage finally appeared on his retina.

[Apparition spell lv3-lv4 success! 】

The influx of knowledge made Link's temples swell 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 point * 1 confirmed use]

[Apparition spell lv4-lv5 success! 】

[Gold skill point * 1 confirmed use]

【Breaking through the upper limit...】

[Apparition spell lv5-lv6 success! 】

Hum——

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

The influx of a large amount of information made Link feel a sharp pain in his head, and at the same time, there was a loud buzzing sound in his ears.

This is the result of Link's continuous addition of points, resulting in the influx of lv4, lv5, and lv6 knowledge.

It's just that Link doesn't care about the pain.

On the contrary, he even felt a little joy.

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

Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory!

Link with a smile on his face fell backwards, and the Voldebat that had been draped behind him immediately dragged his body, and slowly placed it on Arkham who came after him.

"Hiss, hiss!~" (Congratulations! Link!)

Arkham said happily.

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

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

Link lay quietly on Arkham's body, and only raised his wand again after the pain in his head subsided.

Snapped--

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

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

The effect of the apparition spell lv6 is basically the same as he expected, and it has reached the point where he can instantly cast spells silently and wandless, and can be used as a flicker.

However, this kind of flickering can only be performed within a range of 100 meters, and the casting time between them, or the cold-blooded time, is as long as 5 minutes.

This is already the limit area that Link has tested. The difficulty of casting the Apparition spell is that the farther the distance is, the more difficult it is.

Of course, in an emergency, Link can also temporarily break through this limit, but as a price, Link's body will suffer huge damage.

"call!"

Link took a deep breath, and tiredness swept over his nerves.

This is inevitable.

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

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

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

Little Button, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately greeted him, his big eyes were filled with tears, and he was so choked up that he couldn't even speak.

Link waved his hand to stop Little Button from speaking, and said first:

"First go and inform mom and Emily that I'm awake, then get some hot water, I need a good soak."

Little Button didn't wipe away his tears when he heard the words, but nodded and snapped his fingers to teleport away.

At this moment, 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 already August 29th! Little Button has been waiting for Master to come out at the door, Little Button..."

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

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

"I see, you go and do what I ordered earlier."

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

...

An hour later, Link was lazily lying in the soup pool, eating the grapes handed by Emily, while listening to Old Kelie slowly telling what happened outside the soup pool during his retreat.

Since the narrator was Old Kret, the first thing that was mentioned was naturally the situation in Germany.

From his narration, Link learned that Dumbledore had fulfilled his promise. Under the selective disregard of the International Federation of Wizards and the German Ministry of Magic, those markets that should have been occupied by the Alliance of Despicables have now been completely occupied by Beckmann. The family, or the Foley family, gathered together.

At present, the industry and strength of the Foley family in Germany have entered a period of rapid growth. It is estimated that within half a year, they will be able to replace the original Alliance of Despicables.

The situation on the mainland of the country is even more interesting.

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

In the recent period of time, apart from being a bit reluctant at the beginning, the two parties have completely torn their skins, convening meetings with Wizengamot MPs every day, and frantically buying off the court to encourage media attacks other side.

The most important thing is that during the whole process of attacking each other, both sides made a lot of jokes.

For example, Fudge was caught with a photo of dozing off at a press conference, accused of being dementia, and unfit to continue to serve as Minister of Magic.

Old Batty is even more excessive.

All his language mistakes and slips of the tongue in the recent period have been summed up, made into a set of magic photos, and published in the Daily Prophet, making a big joke.

But at this time, the old Batty turned a blind eye to the Death Eater's trial and turned a blind eye to him, and no one mentioned his son of the Death Eater.

After all, the officials of both sides knew in their hearts that the beneficiaries of that incident were all the officials of the Ministry of Magic. They would not be able to fight old Barty to death after pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud.

Generally speaking, the direct result of the conflict between the two parties was that all the wizards in the whole country, and even the whole world, had eaten a big melon once.

The media people in the country's magic world are even more overwhelmed.

Probably the only ones suffering were the Wizengamot MPs.

Originally, they stayed at their respective posts with ease every day, or simply retired and went home to enjoy themselves.

As a result, Fudge and Old Batty sent them invitations for meetings every day. They worried about the public opinion and refused to attend such a big incident, which annoyed the congressmen.

Even, several elderly councilors have already taken sick leave and hid in St. Mungo's magical wounded councilors.

Today, the battle between the two factions has come to an end.

In other words, Batty Sr. and the others are about to win.

Because Fudge couldn't convince Burns to help him overturn Dumbledore's testimony at all.

In this case, Fudge naturally becomes a representative figure of being stupid and bad.

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

At least a dozen departments, including the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of International Magical Liaison, have begun to obey Fudge's orders, and instead obey the orders of Old Batty and his members.

For a long time, only the Auror Office and the Department of Mysteries remained in Fudge's hands.

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

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

Equivalent to the National Academy of Sciences.

Judging from this alone, Fudge's current power should be okay, after all, he still controls the two lifelines of the army and scientific research.

But in fact it is not the case.

First up is the Auror office.

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

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

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

But that doesn't mean Scrimgeour will do what Fudge says.

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

He wasn't afraid of Fudge.

As for the Department of Mysteries, it's even worse.

As a scientific research institution, whether it is to continue the ongoing research or maintain those dangerous magic items, a lot of Galleons are needed.

And even if there are silent guards, the dangerous magic items in the Department of Mysteries will explode from time to time in the future, causing huge losses to magic.

Therefore, to the current Fudge, the Department of Mysteries is completely a gold-throwing big outdoor plus a time bomb.

It was the burden that old Batty and the others threw to Fudge after they didn't want it.

What made Fudge most desperate was that his approval rating among the people had dropped to freezing point.

It is foreseeable that, if a miracle does not happen, he will lose the post of Minister for Magic when the next round of elections begins.

"...that's probably how it happened."

Old Kelie closed his notebook and said with a smile on his face.

As for the small things like Sirius Black who came to see Link and went berserk after being rejected, and was eventually expelled by force by the hunters, he didn't think it was necessary to tell Link.

"Uncle Klein, you guys are doing a great job. Of course, Batty is also doing a great job. It is estimated that the funds allocated to him will increase by another 30%."

Link in the soup pool enjoyed leaning against the wall of the pool, and said without raising his eyes.

Hearing this, the old Kled outside was obviously stunned for a moment, and began to mutter dissatisfied nonsense, but finally left the bathroom with Link's order.

And it wasn't until he was far away that Link opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

He is very satisfied with the results achieved by Batty Sr. and the others.

The achievement mentioned here does not mean that they defeated Fudge.

This victory had already been expected by Link. He had put in so much effort and arrangements for it. It's strange that Batty and the others couldn't win.

What really satisfied Link was that Batty Sr. and the others maintained full restraint after winning the victory!

Fudge will probably never know, but Batty Sr. already has the power to directly overthrow his regime.

And the reason why he didn't do it was because Link asked him to exercise restraint.

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

At this time, the role of letting Fudge continue to be the polished commander of the Ministry of Magic is reflected.

As the ostensible minister and commander of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge will be pushed out by Batty Sr. and Link at an appropriate time, and will bear all the dangers and consequences.

This is the embodiment of maximizing profits!

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Link's mouth became brighter and brighter.

clatter——

With the sound of water breaking, 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 and said:

"What are you thinking? So engrossed."

Link didn't reply, but locked his eyes on Emily's body hidden in the thick water vapor, there was still a faint blue light flickering in his eyes, and his breathing was gradually becoming heavy.

"Forget it, I don't want to know, anyway, they are all trivial things." Emily tied up her hair, leaned on Link's chest and smiled, "I think the most important thing now is Finish what we haven't done in the past, what do you think?"

"you are right."

Link whispered, his body naturally pressed towards Emily.

"Hmm—"

this night.

At the moment when the rumbling thunder broke out into bursts of thunderbolts, one couldn't help but be thrilled. But the thunderbolt was still crackling, and the dark cloud split open, shooting golden arrow-like lightning from the dense clouds to the earth. The thunder roared, the black clouds were burning, belching terrible blue flames, the sky was trembling, and the earth was trembling timidly...

At this moment, only the roses in the courtyard are blooming delicate flowers among the faint green leaves. This fragrant flower is the only symbol of the passion of life in the rain.
