The Bard of Hogwarts

Chapter 118 The Black Swan Magician

At the top of the tower, the Sunshine Spell floats quietly in mid-air, providing a stable and bright light source for the room.

But in such bright light, the room's dilapidated state was also clearly visible.

Holding the dice, Ino relaxed. Even if the story was a bit out of the ordinary, at worst he would just waste props and run away. As long as his life wasn't threatened, everything was fine.

"Although I don't know what you did, you don't need to be so nervous, as if you're facing a formidable enemy."

Olivia surveyed the dilapidated room, a hint of regret in her violet eyes. Suddenly, she sighed softly:

"It's a good thing you're not an exorcist, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here safely in the first place. Actually, I've seen a sorcerer in the palace before..."

"The Brothers Grimm weren't exorcists, they were novelists!" Ino seized the opportunity to reveal his identity.

"The three of us will leave now; it's all a misunderstanding!"

"I'm sorry! You can't leave!" Olivia politely declined.

"Although there are three fewer girls, they will find out if we don't finish quickly. So I have to use the three of you in place of me. But I will let you go after the ceremony is completed."

Three girls are missing.

Ino suddenly thought of the twelve coffins outside the tower, and the nine strange things Emily had mentioned in the town…

Well, he and the Green brothers also came to join in, just to make up the numbers.

As for the so-called letting go, he no longer believed a word of it; it was obvious that the other party still wanted to revive her lover.

In all the stories, no one who was sacrificed for resurrection has ever survived.

"Are you sure you can't let us go?" Ino sighed softly, glancing at the Green Brothers who were tightly bound.

At this moment, he regretted not learning the Killing Curse, and Apparition... There were so many spells he hadn't learned, otherwise he wouldn't be so helpless.

"I really can't leave! Even though I like you very much," Olivia said softly.

……

"Sizzle!"

After a soft click, a match was lit.

The faint flame flickered gently.

Ino put away his wand, gripped the dice tightly in his left hand, and then threw the match onto his robe.

In fact, after the Divine Sword Without Shadow proved ineffective, he knew that magic alone was no match for this princess who had learned evil arts.

Not wanting to waste the precious dice, he pinned his hopes on Old John's matches; it couldn't hurt to try. After all, he still had a third of a match left, but only one die.

The match landed on the robe, and in an instant, the fire spread.

Although it is a gentle flame of redemption, fire is still fire, and its essential high temperature remains unchanged.

He struck a match and lit a corner of the robe. The flames quickly licked at the fabric, and in an instant, the robe was completely ablaze.

Despite the searing pain of the flames, Ino swiftly lunged at Olivia, the entire process decisive and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

"Ugh~" Olivia let out a terrified gasp as the flames touched her skin.

Feeling the soft touch on his body, Ino hugged Olivia tightly.

"No! You're crazy! Let me go, I'll let you go, okay? Take your two henchmen and leave right now!" Olivia struggled and shouted.

Ino ignored him, not only holding Olivia tightly with his arms but also using his legs to hug her close.

……

The flames completely engulfed the two of them.

"Ah!" Olivia let out a shrill scream, and then countless black wisps of energy surged from her body.

Ino was also in a bad mood, but he gritted his teeth and gambled that he could deal with his opponent before he was seriously injured and died, otherwise he would only waste his precious dice.

But the burning flames still left him somewhat dazed.

A second, or a minute, I don't know how much time has passed.

In short, after feeling that there was no more struggle in her arms, Ino slowly loosened her grip.

Before his eyes, a vague image seemed to appear.

In the cold winter, a barefoot little girl holds a match in her hand and smiles as she talks.

However, the pain in his body made it impossible for him to hear what the girl was saying.

The little girl seemed to have noticed this as well, and her face fell with a hint of helplessness.

At the same time, another figure gradually appeared beside the little girl; it was Olivia.

The difference is that her violet eyes have disappeared, replaced by a pair of pure, sapphire-like eyes.

As if sensing the gaze, Olivia gave another slight bow.

A moment later, she and the little girl disappeared into the air.

After watching the two disappear, Ino slowly closed her eyes.

……

Merchant Town.

Sofia's little tavern.

When Ino opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in bed, her body wrapped up like a mummy.

"You're finally awake! Thank God. Ino, you saved William and me. We couldn't speak then, but we saw everything. Thank you so much!"

Jacob leaned in, looking delighted, then said mysteriously:

"Actually, I secretly read William's story. He had already written it a long time ago! Before entering the forest, the story was called 'The Black Swan Wizard'."

As Ino listened to Jacob's story, he felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.

Everything makes sense now, whether it's the story being beyond the scope of the syllabary, or the Brothers Grimm being easily subdued...

Throughout this story, there is only one protagonist: the Black Swan Wizard.
