I'm the King of Curry at Hogwarts

Chapter 207 A Groundbreaking Product

As the image of Dumbledore uttered the incantation, four 3/3 stone guards with charge appeared on the field.

"You've got a good life, Sirius," Louis chuckled.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be so stubborn." Sirius commanded the four stone guards to attack Louis's Grindelwald.

Since Louis drew three cards using the six-mana "Spell of the Fallen" in the previous round, he had no minions on the field, which is why Sirius could attack his main body, Grindelwald, with confidence.

After taking four consecutive attacks from Sirius Black, Grindelwald's health dropped from 17/21 to 5/21, which is a very dangerous level.

"It's not too late to admit defeat, Louis," Sirius laughed smugly. "For the sake of our friendship, I won't humiliate you with evolutionary suicide."

"Sorewadokana." Louis smiled and did not refute him.

Louis wasn't in a hurry. When it was his turn, he used Fiendfyre with a damage bonus, instantly clearing out all the minions on the board, and Sirius's health was reduced by five points.

He now has five cards left in his hand: a six-cost Fire Shield, a four-cost Armored Body, a six-cost Divine Shield, a five-cost Giant, and an eight-cost legendary card: Gellert Grindelwald.

The frustrating thing is that at the end of this round, Sirius drew a one-cost Grindylow.

This is really awkward. The photo of Greendylo with his 1-1 physique looks hilarious no matter how you look at it.

It's already turn nine, and you're using this thing... to just scratch the surface?

Louis pointed at the picture of Greendylo and laughed heartily, making Sirius laugh so hard his face turned black.

Who is this?

To play it safe, Louis first played a 5-cost 3/5 giant monster, and then threw himself an armor card for protection.

Armored Protection (4 mana): Gives a minion 0/4 and Taunt, or gives yourself a 4-health shield.

It's essentially equivalent to adding four points of health to yourself.

To be on the safe side, Louis chose to evolve and eliminate Greendylo on the field.

In the next round, entering the ten-cost round, Sirius was unlucky and only drew one weapon that removed you.

After using it on the troll, he could only sigh helplessly with only eight mana crystals left and clicked to end the turn.

Louis chuckled and drew an Avada Kedavra from his deck.

Eight-cost card, Unforgivable Curse, exclusive to the Dark Wizard class.

Instead of using the card, he chose to abandon Grindelwald.

"For the greater good!" Grindelwald shouted from the light, appearing beside the troll.

He glanced at the giant beside him, gave him a disdainful shove, and the giant moved away pitifully, sidling up to the side.

Grindelwald is also drawn very handsomely, based on Johnny Depp's appearance in Fantastic Beasts 2. In fact, Grindelwald himself looks quite similar to him, and their appearances are almost identical.

This image received high praise from Grindelwald himself.

However, his physique is a bit average, at 4-4.

Now it was the turn of these young wizards. To be honest, both men and women were deeply attracted by the handsome uncle's profound and melancholic aura.

To be honest, Louis always felt that he was missing half a pack of Want Want rice crackers in his pocket, otherwise his "sharp-looking guy" vibe would be even more obvious.

A flash of blue light appeared in Grindelwald's hand, and the Battle Cry effect activated: the cost of spells in hand is reduced by one, the cost of dark magic is reduced by an additional one, and all magic damage is increased by one, with dark magic damage increased by an additional one.

The round ends, and it's Sirius's turn to draw a card.

Unfortunately, he drew another Grindelwald, which made him so angry that he wanted to throw the card away.

He threw Grindelwald onto the field and used Compound Soup on him, instantly turning Grindelwald into a 3/5 Taunt Giant. Then he chose to evolve, removing Grindelwald from Louis's field.

Sirius just used Exterminate on that giant monster on Lewis's field, which also disarmed its taunt effect.

After this round, it was Louis's turn to draw a card again, and he drew a six-cost Auror Striker.

不过这早就没什幺意义了，通过格林德沃的战吼加成，他手中的神锋无影的耗费从6变成了4，伤害也从6变成了8；而阿瓦达索命则从8变成了6，伤害则从8变成了10。

It's a 10-cost turn now, which is more than enough to take down Sirius with 15 health.

Grindelwald waved his wand and shouted, "Sectunsempra!"

A slash appeared on the face of Dumbledore's portrait, and his health dropped from fifteen to seven.

Louis didn't rush to release Avada Kedavra, but instead clicked on the option above Grindelwald's portrait and began apologizing repeatedly.

"Feel sorry!"

"Feel sorry!"

"Well played!"

Sirius's face darkened completely: "Can't you just give me a quick death?"

Louis laughed and unleashed his final, deadly move.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A green light flashed from the tip of Grindelwald's staff, shattering the phantom image of Dumbledore into pieces.

"Yay!" Cheers erupted from the chessboard, accompanied by a miniature, laborious smoke effect. The lid of Hogwarts Castle beside the chessboard opened, and flocks of owls flew out, forming the word "Victory" in the sky above the chessboard.

"We play cards by skill," Louis said to Sirius, leaning back tactically and crossing his legs.

"Pah, what kind of technique is that? I think you just rely on lucky draws," Sirius said indignantly.

Louis, hands on his hips, said, "Then I'll start a 'Godly Draw Dog Association.' Interested in joining? I remember your Animagus was a big black dog, wasn't it?"

"..." Sirius looked at Louis speechlessly. Why is this kid not going to persecute Snape now, but instead trying to sabotage me? He muttered to himself.

The twins, who had been waiting impatiently, shouted in unison, "You two, stop bickering! Can you tell us what you're playing? We're very interested!"

"The Wizarding Legend." Sirius didn't find the two of them rude at all, and patted the chessboard next to him: "Half a chessboard costs ten credits, and a card pack costs one credit for every ten packs. These are the prices at Hogwarts."

This is not a cheap price; the chessboard is equivalent to twenty Galleons, and ten card packs cost two Galleons each.

The Geminis immediately perked up; they had quite a few credits saved up.

"So, where can we buy them?" Harry asked curiously. He was relatively wealthy... or rather, he had more credits. Over the years, he had accumulated several hundred credits. Ron was the same, having accumulated over a hundred credits but not knowing how to spend them.

"We'll open a small shop on campus. It doesn't matter if you don't have credits; just buy things at the price of Galleons. Twenty Galleons will buy half a game board, and two Galleons will buy ten card packs," Sirius said with a chuckle.

"In addition, students who perform well in the monthly, midterm, and final exams each academic year will also be rewarded." Louis revealed his own fangs: "The student with the highest overall score each academic year will receive a whole chessboard and one hundred card packs; the second-place student will also receive a whole chessboard and fifty card packs; the third-place student will also receive a whole chessboard, but only twenty card packs."

"Third to tenth place in the overall academic year will only receive half a chessboard and ten card packs as a reward."

"The top student in each subject of the academic year will receive fifty card packs; the second-place student will receive thirty card packs; the third-place student will receive ten card packs; and the fourth to tenth-place students will only receive five card packs each."

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. Then, someone shouted, and everyone chanted in unison, "Long live Louis! Yeah! Long live Louis!"

Louis felt a chill run down his spine. "Hey, don't you dare yell like that! My aunt is healthy, she looks like she could fight for another thirty years. It's really difficult for me to deal with you guys yelling like this..."

Besides, I, Louis, was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. How could I be the kind of traitor?

"Alright, alright, stop shouting 'Hooray!' This is too much to ask, too much to ask." Louis quickly reached out and pressed down: "This 'Witcher Legends' game is still in testing, so everyone's gaming experience may not be very good, and there is a small problem, which is... how to play it is up to you to figure out."

"No problem! No problem!" Ron shouted immediately. "So what if no one taught us? When Wizard's Chess was first invented, it was the same. Everyone was figuring out how to play, and that's part of the fun."

"You're absolutely right, Ron." Louis immediately gave Ron a thumbs up. "Okay, if all goes well, you guys can play the game tomorrow. Hope you have fun."

This year's Christmas gifts are simple. Apart from the professors, Louis plans to give everyone he knows a chessboard and fifty card packs, regardless of how well they know him.

When his aunt received the card holder, she even wrote him a letter to ask what it was.

Louis slapped his forehead, realizing he hadn't included the game manual with the gift. He quickly sent Emery to deliver the manual to each house. When Emery returned that evening, the bird looked exhausted and looked at Louis with a resentful gaze. Even when Louis came to feed her, she angrily pecked at him.

It seems the child has really been exhausted. No wonder he's a true member of the old London Union Jack; once he's found someone useful, he's used them to the extreme.

What kind of British tradition is this? (hands on hips)

When I got home, I saw Grandpa and Tom sitting at a table playing cards. Both of them had sunglasses perched on their noses, looking cool.

"Oh, it's Louis. What, you finally remembered to spend Christmas with your lonely grandfather this year?" Old Louis's opening remark was a sarcastic and mocking one, reminiscent of Lin Daiyu's style.

"How could I forget? I can't forget Grandpa, no matter who else I've forgotten." Louis quickly went up to him, grinning like a sycophant.

"Hmph." Grandpa gave a haughty snort and threw down a card.

Before him, a portrait of Newt Scamander whispered the incantation: "Reducto!"

The portrait perfectly matches the original owner's appearance; Mr. Scamander looks like a complete socially awkward person.

In his design, Newt Scamander is a magical creature expert, with some exclusive magical creature cards and a talent ability that costs two mana to increase the attack of a minion by one.

Tom controls the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, whom Louis has incorporated into the Potions department. He possesses many strange potions, and his innate ability is to restore one drop of health to himself by consuming two mana crystals.

May the Azure Dragon guide you to fish all day long when you have two mana crystals.

In the end, Tom lost to his grandfather by a very, very small margin. Seeing his grandfather's smiling face, Tom also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, this cat must have thoroughly read Waiwai's book "Emotional Intelligence." At least Louis rarely sees anyone who can make an old man happy, let alone a cat.

Of course, it's also possible that Tom is a cat, which is why he can make Grandpa genuinely happy.

Jerry was also very enthusiastic about this card game. He was neither lenient nor unkind towards his grandfather, but when playing against Tom, he used all his skills. He squandered his restless youth, which was not meant for playing around, on the chessboard.

Of course, this is good too. When the two of them are playing around, they don't know their own strength. If they accidentally tear up one of the famous paintings in the house, that would be a real disaster.

However, with Louis's restoration work intact, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

This game is indeed very appealing; even Diana became obsessed with it. While Tom and Grandpa were playing against each other, she dragged Jerry to play along, even though she was terrible at the game. If Jerry hadn't let her win, she probably wouldn't have had any enjoyment at all.

Even the servants in the house received a Christmas gift from Louis, and during their breaks, they would often gather with friends for a wizarding legend.

You ask why even Muggles like this kind of game? Just kidding... Board games are very popular in Europe and America, and back then, computers weren't as advanced, so computer games looked like pixelated images...

High-quality games like The Witcher Legends—most importantly, they don't have computer-generated effects, but real-life magical effects that you can actually see. Doesn't that look much cooler than computer-generated effects?

Even if this game were released in the 2020s, it would still be enough to cause a huge sensation around the world, even if it is not perfect.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces; this principle must be firmly kept in mind.

Of course, Catherine went home to be with Solanlian today, so the lonely Louis could only play video games with Diana at home after dinner.

Of course, it's a fairly serious game.
