Chapter 216: Werewolf Nation

"This is a very interesting thing. I tried to transform once every weekend with the Full Moon Curse, and the result was unexpectedly good," Lu Ping continued. "Every time I maintained my sanity in the werewolf form, and even retained a part of my spellcasting ability."

"There is such a thing?" Harry felt that the news he heard today was really too shocking.

"Yes, Padfoot taught me some Animagus techniques, plus my own Transfiguration was originally learned well," Lu Ping said. "I have been able to control my werewolf form, look more like a person after transforming, and fight with reason and evidence. Others don't know about this point yet."

"Fight?" Harry was a bit confused. "Why would you pay attention to this?"

"This is because of Fenrir Greyback," Sirius interjected. "He was originally the leader of these werewolves, so he wouldn't sit idly by and watch Lu Ping take away his leadership position."

"It seems that compared to speeches and voting, werewolves are more willing to accept the form of dueling to change leaders, which is quite similar to wolf packs," Lu Ping shrugged. "I easily defeated that bastard in a wizard duel before, but he was not convinced and proposed to duel in the werewolf form."

"So this is what you are going to do tonight," Harry suddenly remembered that today happened to be the day of the full moon. "Duel under the witness of all werewolves?"

"That's right, and I have sufficient confidence," Lu Ping said. "A werewolf with reason versus a beast, I will definitely win."

"And you can also use the werewolf transformation as a cover to kill him openly," Sirius said something shocking.

"This, to be honest, I am still hesitating," Lu Ping said. "Although he is the culprit who brought me pain, killing is always bad."

"Just imprison him," Harry suggested. "If he is locked in a cage, it might be worse than death for him."

Under the approving eyes of the two elders, Harry said his other question: "But, Sirius can of course watch the duel safely in Animagus form, what about me? I don't know Animagus, perhaps I will be attacked by werewolf spectators."

"I have considered this problem," Sirius pointed to a tent not far away. "We two, Sir Crowley, officials from Albania, and some gangsters, we all watch on brooms in the sky."

"Sir Crowley!" Harry said happily. "He told me he was busy with a big thing in Albania, so it is this thing!"

"Yes, he and some Muggle high-level officials in Albania will be escorted by Albanian Aurors to come in the evening," Sirius introduced. "Tonight, after Lu Ping defeats Fenrir, he will publicly announce the establishment of the Werewolf Nation under the witness of everyone."

"I used the Full Moon Curse on everyone once last night," Lu Ping said with a smile. "They will witness the end of the old era and welcome the arrival of a new life in a clear werewolf state."

"Ah, so your countermeasure for werewolf transformation is," Harry suddenly realized, "casting the Full Moon Curse multiple times a month, letting everyone spend the night of the full moon clearly."

"Yes, this is also considering the problem of werewolf descendants," Lu Ping said. "Our descendants will not be werewolves, so after the child is born, we must restrain ourselves from attacking them. If it really doesn't work, we can send them to Muggle society for foster care."

"Then as time goes by, will there be no werewolves in this world?" Harry asked somewhat suspiciously.

"When Gilneas is famous enough in the Wizarding World, werewolves from all over the world will choose to take refuge here," Sirius said. "At the same time, wizards from all over the world will also choose days to come and travel. When the tourism industry here is developed enough and the population gradually decreases, each werewolf's life will get better and better, until a wizard voluntarily becomes a werewolf."

"Voluntarily? Oh yes, if there is the help of the Full Moon Curse, in fact, the werewolf's life is not that difficult," Harry agreed. "And this place was originally prepared for werewolves. He will not be excluded, but will be proud of it."

"Rest assured, Harry," Lu Ping patted him on the shoulder. "We have already planned everything for the future of this country. This is the result of the joint efforts of the Order of the Phoenix and the Albanian Ministry of Magic."

"Order of the Phoenix, so Deng Buliduo also knows about this?" Harry nodded.

"Ah... how to say it," Sirius scratched his head. "He might know."

"We have violated at least three hundred school rules by doing this," Lu Ping shrugged.

Sirius suddenly laughed loudly. Harry guessed this was some joke from their student days.

After laughing enough, Sirius said seriously: "Werewolves were originally living under the rule of the Dark Lord. I cannot rashly change their course, or rather, at least I cannot let them immediately serve Deng Buliduo."

"So, werewolves will turn to be loyal to me, and the position I personally express is also neutral, only maintaining a certain cooperation with the 'Godfather of the Dark Night'," Lu Ping said. "In the Death Eaters, they will think that werewolves obey the Godfather of the Dark Night, which can further enhance his status."

"Yes, I found that the Dark Lord actually rarely asks about the conflicts between Death Eaters. He might only think that I can't stand Fenrir's stupid behavior and decided to bring the werewolf forces under my command," Sirius said. "But in fact, I can not only use this to reasonably play big in front of Malfoy and Lestrange and refuse to cooperate, but also betray them at any time."

In the conversation, time gradually reached the evening. Harry and Sirius had eaten dinner early and went to the entrance of the camp to prepare to welcome other human spectators for this duel. When Sir Crowley, who hadn't seen for a long time, gently touched Harry's hair, both of them showed satisfied smiles.

Finally, after the sky darkened, everyone rode their brooms to the sky. Some Muggle officials were riding with Aurors. Harry and Sirius were hovering steadily together, and Sir Crowley was brought by an Albanian Auror.

Harry noticed that a person suddenly appeared in the center of the open space by Apparition. His face was extremely ugly, and he radiated the aura of a beast even in human form, which was very uncomfortable.

"Fenrir, you actually didn't run away," Lu Ping said calmly.

"Ha, you thought you could fool me with some spells?" Fenrir yelled. "Wait until the full moon rises, and I will tear you to pieces! Just like I should have done thirty years ago!"

"Yes, it happens to be the thirtieth anniversary," Lu Ping nodded. "I won't kill you, because you need to atone for everyone you have attacked in these thirty years."

The two stared at each other coldly. When the moonlight of the full moon fell, everyone on the ground began to transform.

Unlike others who turned into gray wolves or black wolves, Lu Ping's fur color after transformation was white. He transformed into the werewolf form very smoothly, almost as smoothly as Sirius turning into a black dog.

Fenrir's werewolf form was just an ordinary wolf that looked a bit like a person. Perhaps he was larger than ordinary werewolves, but he was limited in size.

But Lu Ping's werewolf form was no longer the appearance of a wolf. His forelimbs became extremely strong, and his body was no longer lying on the ground, but stood up. His five fingers were all preserved, only sharp claws grew out. He could even continue to hold a wand or other weapons after transforming, such as a silver sword.

Lu Ping stood up in the image of a white wolf, holding the prepared silver sword in his right hand, looking coldly at Fenrir after werewolfization. This fierce former werewolf leader had not undergone the advance release of the Full Moon Curse, so he was now completely a beast that had lost his reason.

Lu Ping inserted the silver sword into the grass on the side, let out a long howl to the sky, and then rushed directly toward Fenrir.

Under the gaze of everyone, he used a standard uppercut to beat Fenrir in wolf form away. Then, when Fenrir rushed up again, he easily knocked him to the ground with a hammer fist, and then picked up his tail and smashed him to the ground again.

After several fierce smashes, the wolf hair on Fenrir's body gradually faded. He returned to human form, and his eyes, which were like soybeans, were full of fear. If the grass hadn't been soft enough, perhaps he would have died by now. Lu Ping just sneered and threw him into the prepared cage.

After a short silence, all the wolves began to howl at the moon, celebrating the birth of the new wolf king.

"Everyone be quiet," Lu Ping made a sound in the wolf form, which surprised Harry, because due to different vocal cords, Animagus had always been unable to speak.

However, perhaps there is a slight difference between werewolves and Animagus, Harry thought.

"We announce here today that the Kingdom of Werewolves—Gilneas, is established!" He made a fist-clenching action. "If anyone among you has dreamed of living in the sun, your dream is about to come true; but if anyone is still unwilling to give up attacking humans and intends to continue living in the darkness, Fenrir is your end."

"Thanks to the moon phase spells invented by Master Xuanjun, from now on, the full moon of Gilneas is no longer once a month, but once a week. Every Friday night, we will raise the full moon. This is to help everyone spend every transformation clearly," Lu Ping's voice continued. "We will open factories and allow everyone to support themselves with honest labor. I am your king, Genn Greymane. I am willing to listen to everyone's voice. Now, let us cheer to our heart's content."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ping took the lead in howling, and all the wolves followed with long howls. ===== CHAPTER 217 =====
