Chapter 981: Trading Surrender
When did I have such a big hand that I needed to let the Dark Lord personally go there?
At this moment, the expression on Albert's face was almost tense. He originally thought that Voldemort would not appear here. After all, there were so many spectators at the duel competition. If Voldemort attacked him personally, it would directly expose the fact that Voldemort was still alive. However, the Dark Lord actually disguised himself as someone else.
You are the Dark Lord, why do you have the nerve to pretend to be someone else?
Your Dark Lord's strength has fallen all over the floor, okay!
Does this mean he is really planning to kill himself in a duel?
If you are killed by your opponent in a duel, you can't blame anyone, let alone Voldemort's identity. What's more, dying at the hands of the dark wizard Avger doesn't seem to be a strange thing.
Who let the dark wizard Avji kill people like crazy?
The situation is not good!
Albert reached out, picked up the wand, and placed it on his knees, prepared for Voldemort to attack him suddenly at any time.
Fortunately, I was not unprepared.
Albert let out a breath, reached into his pocket and took out a few gummies, peeled one open and chewed it, and picked out the gummy with the elixir hidden in it.
If possible, Albert really doesn't want to face Voldemort so early, because he is really at a disadvantage and has no advantage in all aspects, and he himself is still in the developmental stage.
If you give him another fifteen years, no, ten years, ten years will be enough. When he reaches the peak in all aspects, it will not be a problem to fight Voldemort head-on.
After all, after ten years of preparation, Albert was confident that he could defeat Voldemort.
As for now, he might be able to prevent himself from being killed, but...Albert really doesn't like to engage in this duel with a very low winning rate and risks.
The effort and benefit are not proportional.
At this moment, the task panel triggered a new task.
Albert quickly opened the task panel when Voldemort was dragged away by the organizer's staff, and glanced at the name of the task: The Beginning of the Legend.
He had no intention of reading the content of the mission, and scrolled straight to the end to see the conditions for completing the mission: defeating Voldemort and winning the game.
Mission reward: 30,000 experience, 3 skill points, 2,000 reputation in the magic world, and obtain one of Voldemort’s designated skills.
The mission rewards are very rich, but...the mission rewards are generally related to the difficulty of the mission, so the difficulty of this mission is quite high. Moreover, the most difficult thing should not be how to defeat Voldemort, but winning the game later.
If you feed moral integrity to a dog, you can shout now: He is Voldemort.
Then, by dragging down the organizer and even all the spectators present, Voldemort may be able to be driven back, but there is no hope of winning, and the competition may be stopped directly.
In addition, there is another weirder mission: the dark wizard’s nemesis.
The condition for completing the mission is to defeat the remaining two dark wizards and win the duel competition.
The experience reward is not much, but the reputation in the magic world is 1,000 points, and a "Dark Wizard's Nemesis" skill is also given.
This mission is actually a good one, and it would be even better if Voldemort was not here.
However, Albert suspected that the mission was triggered by the appearance of Voldemort.
He sent a message to Kara, the house elf outside, and asked the house elf to confirm whether Dumbledore was coming. If the Headmaster comes, tell him the news about Voldemort.
As long as Dumbledore comes to watch the game, Voldemort's difficulty in killing Albert will skyrocketly rise.
As for whether Dumbledore came?
Albert really didn't know, he only knew that Bard invited Dumbledore to watch the duel.
Ever since the old man knew that Albert was being targeted by Death Eaters, he invited Dumbledore to watch the duel competition together to provide an added layer of insurance for Albert's safety.
The tickets for the members of the Order of the Phoenix were obtained from Bard. The tickets for the duel competition are so expensive. Who would be rich enough to just give them away? Their relationship is not that good!
I hope Bud can be more reliable and don't hang around.
Otherwise, I’m afraid a backup plan will have to be activated by then.
Just because he can't defeat Voldemort doesn't mean that the other party can kill him.
Albert naturally has his own plans. Voldemort may have expectations of his strength, but he certainly does not know his specific strength.
Of course, this kind of good thing may only be useful in the first fight, but that is enough.
Little Barty is the best example. He thought he understood Albert's strength, but ended up falling into a pit and unable to climb out the first time.
What's more, he also secretly brought a blessing elixir, which can be used directly when necessary.
Although it can't do much in the face of absolute strength, it is actually related to the upper limit of the wizard's strength.
Albert is a type who has strength but lacks experience, so he is unable to exert his full strength, and Felixir can just make up for his problems in this regard.
The most important thing is that Albert had made a lot of preparations to deal with Voldemort as early as the Triwizard Tournament. Although some things were unusable, Voldemort now came to kill him single-handedly and disguised himself as someone else. Presumably he doesn't want his identity to be exposed.
What's more, Dumbledore is still here. If necessary, the two of them can join forces and they will definitely be able to drive back Voldemort.
Cara soon sent back the news that Dumbledore was really here, which made Albert feel relieved.
However, Dumbledore's expression in the audience was very serious. If Snape hadn't told him that Voldemort planned to attack Anderson, Dumbledore would not have come here at all. He originally tried to persuade Albert to give up the game.
Unfortunately, it was too late when he received the news. He rushed to Spain in a hurry and failed to find Albert.
When Dumbledore saw the house elf Cara coming to deliver news to him, he realized that the worst thing had happened.
However, he still failed to convince Albert to give up the game.
Dumbledore really doesn’t understand why Albert takes the risk. Is it because he is here?
Or is it true, as Albert said, that Voldemort can't do anything to him for a while, maybe he can force Voldemort to reveal his flaws and completely expose the news that he has been resurrected to everyone?
To be honest, this proposal made Dumbledore very hesitant. As long as the news of Voldemort's resurrection was revealed in advance, he would not need to continue to bear so much pressure in the British wizarding community.
"The master has given me other tasks... Please be sure to persuade him to give up the game." Before leaving, the house elf took off the communicator from his wrist and handed it to Dumbledore along with the parchment. Then he hurriedly left. You need to follow the master's orders and take the McDougal sisters back to the safe house.
Looking at the Muggle watch-like thing in front of him, Dumbledore fell into a brief silence. Finally, he continued to communicate with Albert, and it would be better if he could convince him to give up the game.
Dumbledore carefully looked at the dark wizard named Avger in the audience. According to the information provided by Albert, this guy is actually Voldemort in disguise?
“How did you see it?” Dumbledore’s eyes fell on the parchment, and he immediately understood what was going on.
There are two pieces of parchment. The first one is densely packed with countless ink dots, but the second one is the players’ rest area, with ink dots marking Albert Anderson on it.
It seems that Anderson is more cautious than I expected, and now I just hope that his preparations will work!
Before the duel, the narrator is giving an inspiring speech.
“…a magical feast of this magnitude tonight, our descendants will envy us for witnessing such a remarkable moment!”
The duel competition kicked off with excitement and cheers.
However, the surrounding noise suddenly disappeared, as if someone pressed the pause button. Many people stood up in unison, and there were even choking sounds from around them. Some viewers even buried their faces in their hands in horror.
The duel on the stage is over.
Yes, it’s over!
The two sides only had one round of confrontation, and Pierre, who was favored by countless people, died. He was instantly killed by black magic, which shocked many people in an instant.
Voldemort cast spells very quickly, and used black magic equally neatly. The spells from both sides collided with each other in the air, and then... Pierre was crushed by Voldemort. He almost watched the spells being pressed towards him, Even if Pierre directly announced his surrender, it was already too late.
he died.
He was hit by black magic and died cleanly.
Even without using Avada Kedavra, Voldemort can still kill people.
However, for Voldemort, the Avada Kedavra is obviously more practical, because as long as the spell hits the target, it can quietly take away the opponent's life.
After Voldemort killed his opponent, Dumbledore immediately sent a message to Albert. He still hoped that Albert would give up the game.
However, the answer I got was still: Don’t worry, he won’t be able to kill me for a while.
Dumbledore really didn’t know where Albert got his confidence.
If Mr. Principal knew that Albert’s confidence was his, he would have told him to stop making trouble. He was unable to prevent this from happening while he was on the stage.
After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore approached the organizer directly. He was going to appear under Voldemort's eyes and create some pressure on the other party.
In fact, Dumbledore's face is still very good. Except for the British group, everyone is still willing to give him face.
Even though the contestants have signed a magic contract, even if they die during the duel, it has nothing to do with them, but...if it continues, it will definitely affect the holding of the next duel competition.
No one is willing to risk their lives to participate in the competition.
Dumbledore was invited by the organizer to be a special guest and will preside over the game together with the referee to avoid similar troubles in the future.
When Albert entered the room and saw Dumbledore, he knew that he was safe against Voldemort, and now he should concentrate on dealing with the guy in front of him.
“Let’s make a deal!”
The dark wizard Percival was not in a hurry to take action, but said to Albert with a smile: "I can give up on my own initiative, but... if you become the runner-up, your runner-up bonus will belong to me. If you become the champion, treat me as nothing." explain."
"Just give up?" Albert looked at the guy in front of him warily, fearing that he would make a sneak attack.
"I don't want to fight the dark wizard Avji. That guy is very dangerous, and it's not worthwhile to lose your life. If you want to fight with that guy, I suggest you accept my suggestion and use the best possible method." I'm in a good state to face the dark wizard Avji." Bohivar ignored the referee's stunned eyes and the shouts of the audience, and continued, "Think about it, I think this is not harmful to you!"
"You have a great idea. If I agree, aren't you afraid that I will regret it later?" Albert did not refuse. It would be better if the other party surrendered directly. It doesn't matter if they don't surrender and fight.
"Dumbledore, you should have heard it too!" Percival said to the old man, "You will be a witness."
Dumbledore nodded expressionlessly.
The second duel ended with Percival choosing to surrender due to an internal deal.
Of course, they were greeted by a lot of trash and angry curses.
Everyone was very dissatisfied and shouted for the organizer to refund their money.
They spent so much money to see the exciting duel competition finals, not to see these things.
“I like it when they look angry and frustrated, but they can’t do anything about it.”
Percival still had a smile on his face and didn't care if someone threw something at him.
Well, even if an excited audience cast an arrow spell on him, he still had a smile on his face. No matter what, this trip was not a loss.
To put it bluntly, most of the dark wizards who are willing to participate in the competition come here for money.
“Mr. Percival, are you sure you want to give up the game?” the referee asked with a dark face.
“Yes, I will also give up later.” Bohival said with a smile, “I remember that players can surrender!”
"Of course, but if you give up like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Competition." The referee reminded with a dark face.
No matter how you look at it, the game was messed up this time.
If you refund the tickets, you will probably lose a lot of money, and it won't work if you don't refund the tickets, if they don't want word of mouth.
You must know that the tickets for the final of the duel competition are far more expensive than the previous two games. Logically speaking, it should be the most exciting game, but it ended up causing a lot of trouble.
"I definitely don't want to die in vain. By the way, I suggest you advise that boy. He was an excellent young man. It would be a pity to die like this." Percival also didn't think Anderson could win against the dark wizard Avger.
It’s just that these words are not like what a dark wizard would say at all, but maybe Percival just made a lot of money and is in a very good mood!
The wizard's expression twitched, but after much hesitation, he still planned to negotiate with Albert.
Of course they know about Albert Anderson, who is a fairly famous genius and is famous in many fields.
It’s just that no one really knows how good Albert Anderson is in dueling, but in the dueling competition, Anderson undoubtedly showed amazing talent and strength. He felt that such a person really shouldn't die here, at least Dumbledore didn't want him to die here either, so the old man took the initiative to assume the position of special guest.
“You really don’t want to give up. There is no shame in giving up the game, and there is no need to take risks. Your life is worth ten thousand Galleons.”
"I never think I will lose!" Albert refused. "I will try my best when the time comes. I'm afraid you have to pay attention to the aftermath of the battle." The referee advised earnestly.
The referee of the organizer cast a pleading look at Dumbledore. The situation today was so bad. Instead of another person dying, it would be better to give the trophy and bonus directly to the dark wizard Avger.
Of course, there is another reason. The gambling house has mentioned it before, saying that as long as they can persuade Albert to give up the game, they are willing to help pay half of the championship prize.
However, Albert still decided to have a try with Voldemort. He wants to grow, and this process is inevitable. When it's relatively safe, it's a good choice.
