Chapter 430: Chaotic Situation
Harry also didn't speak, because he understood a fact better: even if Evolt was really a game set by the Heavenly Dynasty people, the only way to break this game could only be to promote Luo En to defeat him. As for other plans to counter Kamen Riders, I'm afraid they might not have an effect in front of this knight who is enough to be called a demon king.
"So, you have to avoid Zhang Qiu with these inside stories," Snape shook his head gently, then grabbed his arm again. "Let's go back to the ward now."
This conversation made Harry's heart heavier, but fortunately, the atmosphere in the ward was heavy to begin with, so he didn't show anything unusual.
Tang Tang Nade was now sitting in the chair Snape had originally sat in. The experts had dispersed, and he was holding his forehead with both hands, concealing his expression. Indeed, if Snape hadn't swapped the cup, this series of his actions would have become a textbook clown act, and he himself could be called a fool worthy of being exhibited in a museum.
Thinking was thinking, Harry still didn't speak to mock, just lowered his head slightly and stood with Luo En.
"Disperse, children," a doctor in a white coat walked over, holding a glass bottle in his hand. "She should wake up in two or three days."
Hermione, who had been full of sorrow, looked more spirited now. She followed the doctor's words and left the hospital bed.
"I'll be here, you go back to school," Tang Tang Nade said in a low tone.
They passed the healers who were gathered at the door pointing and talking, and walked down the stairs without saying a word. Harry saw Sirius and Tonks still sitting in the lobby.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to school," Tonks stood up and said.
Back at school, Zhang Qiu immediately instigated Luo En and Hermione to leave together. Then, almost as soon as she separated from them, she grabbed Harry and walked toward another place.
"What did the professor say to you just now?" Her eyes were shining with brilliance.
"He told the ins and outs of the matter," Harry answered flawlessly, "and also said that Tang Tang Nade deliberately took Alina on a boat just to fight Evolt."
"I guessed it was like this," Zhang Qiu sneered. "He wanted to use Evolt's hand to suppress Alina."
"What do you mean?" Harry frowned. This was another direction he had never thought of.
"Having second thoughts after gaining power is a very common thing. I don't believe Alina would be that honest," she said slowly. "In order to prevent Alina from getting out of control, Tang Tang Nade needs to use a big defeat to hit her confidence, and then use other means to strengthen control."
"Other means?"
"For example, providing equipment and logistics, etc. You have to let Alina know who her power comes from and who she can't leave. This is his real purpose," Zhang Qiu glanced at the direction Luo En and Hermione left. "Don't you think it's too disadvantageous for wizards and knights to fight with bare hands? Alina will need weapons."
"That's true, but I don't think Alina can rival the knight after getting weapons," Harry said with dissatisfaction. "And doing so undoubtedly strengthens Evolt's strength. I think the plan you mentioned is still very stupid."
"He also wants to test our trump cards," Zhang Qiu shrugged. "If Evolt reaches the Black Hole form, the current Agito will be powerless. He wants to force us to take out more things."
"Do you think Evolt can reach the Black Hole form?" Harry frowned and asked. "In the case that we hide the Horcruxes, he should have no chance."
"First of all, one thing is certain: no matter how strong Evolt is, as long as he enters the Heavenly Dynasty territory, my master can suppress him easily. So, the reason why he runs around in Europe just reflects what our knight power is like, and whether the Heavenly Dynasty has knights strong enough to enforce the law abroad?" Zhang Qiu shook her finger. "Tang Tang Nade put the cup on the line just to know the answer to this question."
"So is there any?"
"Strictly speaking, not for the time being, but there might be in the future," Zhang Qiu shrugged.
"You're not going to say it's Luo En again, are you?" Harry was a bit speechless. "Don't tell me, in case things go wrong, the Heavenly Dynasty has no fallback means!"
"I'm sorry, Master's fallback means is that he doesn't dare to return to the country," Zhang Qiu spread her hands very frankly. "All I can do is try my best to help Luo En."
"What if it's a gang fight? Cronus has special abilities, right?" Harry was a bit anxious. "Didn't you petrify Bella that time?"
"Cronus can't do it either. That immobilization ability can only be used in civil war and has no effect on Evolt," Zhang Qiu sighed. "And Cronus's strength has reached the end and will not grow."
Harry stared blankly at Zhang Qiu. He was not very willing to believe her rhetoric, but he didn't want to quarrel with her—in fact, when he began to doubt the Heavenly Dynasty, he had been trying his best to avoid talking about these things with Zhang Qiu for the past week.
"Relax, these problems can always be solved," Zhang Qiu patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go for a walk in the garden."
Harry could only suppress the worry in his heart at this moment, accompanied her out of the castle, and then gradually relaxed in some aimless chatting. The relationship between the two returned to a harmonious state again. Unknowingly, night fell, but neither of them had any intention of returning to the castle to eat, but began to talk about more private topics.
"What did you say to her?" As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Luo En asked impatiently. "Any latest news?"
"Not very important news. Zhang Qiu talked about some plans for the future. She will stay here after graduation, but hasn't decided what to do," Harry didn't mention Tang Tang Nade. "We've been chatting. Actually, she wasn't wrong. Regardless of whether there is Evolt or not, life has to go on as usual."
"Ah?" Luo En was stunned. "She didn't mention any plans, inside stories or anything..."
"You ask directly," Neville interrupted him. "Did you kiss?"
"Yes."
"Why?" Luo En yelled. "I lost again?"
"You bet on this again?" Harry looked at Luo En with dissatisfaction as he put a Knut on the table.
"This is not a bad thing, Luo En," Neville said with a smile while collecting money. "Harry didn't have this kind of mind last year because the situation forced him to be burdened with worries, and this year, it's your turn to step forward, so he naturally has the leisure to kiss."
Luo En's mood stabilized visibly, and, he also showed a look of relief. Harry felt that this remark was actually very clever, and to some extent, it could strengthen Luo En's strength.
"Yes, Luo En, I agree with her on one point," Harry patted him on the shoulder. "That is, Saber will eventually defeat Evolt. We all believe in this very much."
Luo En scratched his head embarrassedly, then he sat for a while, picked up his wooden sword and went to the Room of Requirement. And in the next few days, he showed extraordinary effort, which once made Harry feel very pleasantly surprised.
By Thursday, another piece of good news came back, that is, Alina had woken up and basically recovered. She would stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for another day or two, and then if there were no accidents, she would come to school to catch up with Hermione on the weekend.
And early Friday morning, Harry and Luo En saw a special notice.
Apparition Training: All sixth and seventh-year students are eligible to participate in an Apparition training course taught by a specially appointed instructor. The course will start this Saturday.
If you are willing to participate, please sign your name below.
Fee: 2 Galleons.
"I don't even have to guess to know that the so-called specially appointed instructor must be Tang Tang Nade," Luo En said happily.
"The possibility of others teaching this course is not ruled out," Harry shrugged, and then stood in the queue for signing. "For example, Alina, you might not believe it, but because of that plan, she is probably the best at Apparition in the world now."
"Ah?" Luo En almost moved his feet out of the queue. "I don't want to listen to her class."
"Unfortunately, child, there is a high probability that Miss Kaslana will explain the relevant matters of Apparition to you, because Mr. Fontroy has other things to do," Snape appeared behind them silently. "Come with me, Potter, there is a very serious meeting that needs your opinion."
"Ah?" Harry was a bit surprised, but still followed Snape's footsteps, while Luo En curled his lips and silently left the queue for signing.
After a whirlwind, Harry found himself at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic, and then they hurried to the elevator and walked down.
"What are we going to do, Professor?" Harry asked.
"You'd better call him 'Deputy Minister' here, Mr. Potter," the big-bellied wizard on the side reminded.
"We are going to the Department of Mysteries," Snape didn't care about these trivial details. "Our Mr. Vampire... he wants to progress again."
"Is it Alina's matter that inspired him?" Harry asked vaguely.
"More than inspiration, Tang Tang Nade is also prepared to provide technical support, which is why he proposed to stay here for a few more days," Snape explained slowly. "However, Donna seems to have other opinions. I think this matter needs you to make a decision, because Donna signed the oath with you."
"Who is the candidate for the new Queen?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Mia."
"I understand." Now, Harry understood completely. In fact, the decision had already been made. He came here just to say those words for Snape that he was not convenient to say himself.
Moreover, if Tang Tang Nade could be prevented from causing trouble, and by the way, an Apparition teacher that Luo En could accept could be changed, that would also be a good thing for Harry. ===== CHAPTER 431 =====
