Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"She said she doesn't want to, don't you understand?"

The young man's outstretched hand was firmly grasped by another hand and pushed aside.

"I just left for a while. What happened?" Ethan stood in front of Xiao Mo, staring at the guy in front of him with a bad look, and asked, "Can you explain it to me?"

"Who are you?" The young man's face darkened when he saw that he was being interrupted.

"Excuse me, this is my boyfriend. He's here to see me."

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes, smiled sweetly, and hugged Ethan's arm affectionately, with a sweet look on his face.

[Fuck, Xiao Mo, you are here again?! ]

Ethan pulled the corner of his mouth. In this situation, he really couldn't refute it. He could only cooperate with Xiao Mo's acting fiercely: "Yes, I am her boyfriend. What do you want to do to my lovely girlfriend?"

"No, nothing, just a quick chat. I'll take my leave now and not disturb your love."

The young man smiled awkwardly, thinking that he was really unlucky today. He finally saw a girl he liked, but she was already taken. And this guy looked fierce, and he probably couldn't beat him. He was afraid that he couldn't be a minotaur today, so he should find another target.

Then he immediately saw Alanna standing next to Ethan.

Oh wow, this one is good too.

The young man raised his eyebrows and was about to step forward to strike up a conversation when his eyes fell on Alana's hand, which was still held by Ethan.

Nani?

"Excuse me, I have to bother you two again." The young man timidly called out to the plague god in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with this lovely lady? Brother and sister, or sister and brother?"

"Oh, she's my girlfriend too, what's the problem?"

Ethan directly hugged Alana in his arms, and Alana cooperated and leaned on his chest, looking like a little bird.

"What?" The young man was obviously shocked. He stumbled and fell on the pedal of the dance machine with a sad face.

"Why, why is it like this? I have given everything to my girlfriend, but I don't get any love from her. I can't even be considered a boyfriend..."

"But you can get the favor of two beautiful girls at the same time, and even be willing to share a husband with them. Why did God give me this kind of pain? What did I do wrong?"

"I also want to be loved by a cute girl..."

Oh, is this why you force yourself to chat up girls regardless of their wishes?

The corners of Ethan's mouth twitched unnaturally. After he held Alana in his arms, she had been secretly pinching the soft flesh on his waist. Although he didn't grimace in pain, he could feel that the girl's thoughts at the moment must not be very beautiful.

But since I've been the target of your anger, I've got to pretend to be strong.

"Maybe I just happen to be popular with girls." Ethan shrugged and said calmly.

"To please girls? Haha..."

The young man smiled lifelessly, looked up at Ethan, and his smile was full of inexplicable meaning: "It's so easy for you to say it, to please girls..."

The young man's eyes suddenly turned red, which startled Ethan for a moment, and he thought he was also controlled by some black magic. But before he could react, the young man suddenly pounced on Ethan, hugged his thighs tightly with both hands, and cried bitterly: "Brother, you will be my brother from now on! How did you do it? Teach me, I want to learn too! I am willing to pay any price!"

"roll!"

Ethan kicked the embarrassing thing aside.

夜之城在游戏中的地理位置相当于2023年的美国加利福尼亚州，由于两地时差，其8月20日11:45pm相当于北京时间8月21日2:45pm，所以这图我并没有晚发，倒不如说今天发才是正确的。

2023, let’s relive yesterday!

Chapter 201: When the suona sounded, my parents raised me in vain

After this interruption, Xiao Mo lost the mood to continue playing. After putting all his game coins into the coin pusher, he left the game hall in a lack of interest.

Even though the Master stood up for him, he didn't know why he felt a sense of loss.

It's annoying.

Not long after, Ethan left the game hall with Alana with a sly smile on his face, following closely behind Xiao Mo.

"Ethan, this isn't a good idea, is it?" Alanna tugged at the corner of Ethan's clothes and asked uneasily, "This is too..."

"What's wrong with that? I didn't force you to buy or sell anything. This transaction is completely consensual." Ethan counted the bills in his hand again, then put them into the inside pocket of his shirt, with a calm face:

"He just wants to please girls. Selling him a copy of '12 Secrets to Charming Witches' is not cheating him at all."

Yes, it's not a rip-off. But you sold the book for 5 pounds, which was originally priced at 500 Galleons. You are amazing.

(Note: According to Rowling's setting, the exchange rate between Galleons and British Pounds has been changing, and the purchasing power of Galleons is also different in different periods. This also involves the purchasing power of British Pounds in different eras. If it is completely realistic, it will confuse people. Therefore, in order to facilitate understanding in this book, the exchange rate is fixed at 1 Galleon equivalent to 50 yuan of modern RMB, about 5 pounds, 1 Siege equivalent to 3 yuan, and 1 Knut equivalent to cents. This setting was set from the beginning of the book.)

Alanna curled the corners of her mouth when she heard this, secretly complaining in her heart.

"Alanna, you must be secretly complaining that I'm a profiteer, right? You must be, right?" Ethan looked at Alanna's changing expression and complained mercilessly.

Actually, this cannot be considered as his being cruel. After he had given the short-haired young man a friendly talk and had just taken out the book from his pocket to test the price, the young man had already taken out a stack of pounds and was about to throw it in his face.

This guy is a rich, stupid guy. It would be unreasonable if he is not ripped off.

Moreover, he originally thought that if he could sell it for 40 or 50 pounds, it would be the best, but he never expected that the price the young man offered would start from three digits. He didn't know whether his deception was really good or he had no idea about money. Anyway, with a guilty conscience, the two sides pretended to negotiate the price twice and then quickly made the deal.

Looking back now, I regret it very much.

If I had bargained a little more earlier, I might have been able to sell a few more tickets.

As for whether he felt guilty for selling him so much money, he had no such feeling of guilt at all.

Damn it, not to mention that this idiot tried to seduce his own servant, he even dared to set his sights on his girlfriend in front of him. It was already very merciful of Ethan to just take a few cents from him instead of breaking all three of his legs.

After all, beating someone up in public is not a good idea, and there is a small chance that you will be able to trigger the extra event of a day behind bars. Although this event is usually accompanied by the unlocking of the hidden CG of "becoming a happy enemy with a beautiful policewoman", I already have Alanna, so I should put aside those colorful thoughts.

What do you want? If you chase two rabbits, you won't get one.

(Tiandao Zongsi: Don’t listen to this nonsense, it is clear that only those who chase two rabbits can get both.)

But it's not impossible to let Alanna cosplay as a policewoman or something...

"What are you thinking about, Ethan?"

Alanna looked at the gradually lewd smile on Ethan's face, gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and asked kindly.

"No, it's nothing. It's just an illusion. It's all your illusion."

Ethan started to grimace in a pretentious manner. Although the pain was not unbearable for him, he still had to pretend. Otherwise, if Alanna knew that this trick didn't work on him, she might do something more extreme in the future, such as pinching another unspeakable place.

"Master, I'm hungry. Are there any good restaurants nearby?" Xiao Mo suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted to Ethan very loudly.

"Okay, I know a delicious restaurant nearby. Come with me." Ethan nodded, seemingly in a good mood because he had just made a small profit, and turned into a narrow alley with the two girls.

"Ethan, why do we have to take this road? It feels so gloomy." Alana held Ethan's arm tightly, her little face pale.

"This is the shortcut. If you don't take this way, you will have to take a long detour. And don't worry, I'm with you, nothing will happen." Ethan smiled comfortably.

"Hmm..." Alana nodded silently towards Ethan.

The three of them took many turns and came to a narrow open space surrounded by high walls, and disappeared.

"What happened? Why did they suddenly disappear?"

After the three of them, another man in a black windbreaker came to the open space. He looked around the empty space with a blank face, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.

The man in the windbreaker suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder hard, with such force that his collarbone was almost broken. And the hand did not move away after patting his shoulder, but clamped his shoulder tightly like a pair of pliers, making it impossible for him to escape.

"Hey, this guy. Do you want to play tailgating with us?"

Behind him, Ethan squeezed his shoulders hard, with a kind look on his face.

The guy in front of him had been staring at them from a distance since he confronted the big dog owner in the game hall, and he had been following them closely after they left the game hall. So after he and Xiao Mo realized something was wrong, they secretly made such a plan to lure them into a trap.

Even if all this was just a coincidence, the red snake pattern on the sleeves of this guy's windbreaker exposed his identity.

Sure enough, it’s the Fire Snake Party again.

Originally, he was worried that Xiao Mo's acting was too exaggerated and he wouldn't be able to catch any fish, but this guy was really brave. He had no servants or companions around him, but he still dared to follow alone.

"Heh," the man in the windbreaker sneered, "Only one person? In that case, you can't keep me."

"Really?" Ethan snapped his fingers.

"Who told you I'm the only one left?"

Xiao Mo, wearing armor and holding a big sword, Alanna holding a magic wand, and several spirit-based shadows released by Alanna carrying various weapons also slowly walked out from the shadows in the corner of the open space, and surrounded the man in the windbreaker with sullen faces.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the cheerful sound of suona.

Chapter 202 Ah No Ba Xiu Alas~ Ah No Ba Xiu Alas~

Xukuin Ci'ai is a low-level member of the Fire Snake Party organization. He is usually responsible for guarding the kidnapped living sacrifices and cleaning up some women left over by the top leaders of the organization. Although the salary is low, he cannot get in touch with the core of the organization and is always looked down upon, but at least he can get some money and play with the leftovers of the leaders, which is comfortable for Ci'ai. Sometimes he even feels that he is lucky to be assigned such a job that allows him to have enough fun.

Recently, the Fire Serpents had all moved to Red Grave City following the actions of that lord. Their base had changed from a dry and clean stone fortress to a dark and damp dungeon. The damp residence had caused his arthritis to flare up. In addition, most of their manpower had been lost in the Aurors' siege, so the management had reorganized the positions of these low-level cannon fodders... ahem, employees, and transferred him from the dungeon to the Holy Grail Room as a guard, so he could no longer come into contact with those women.

Happiness, snap, gone.

However, since he is a small figure on the fringe of the organization, no matter how his position is transferred, it is still a peripheral job and is highly replaceable. Even if he takes a break or disappears one day, he can just pull someone else to replace him.

It was his turn to be off duty that day. Normally, he should stay quietly in the dungeon and not leave at will. But who made him an insignificant little person? Even if he left for a while, or even disappeared, no one would care. So he slipped out of the dungeon smoothly and went to the city to find some entertainment facilities to relax.

This was not the first time he had done this. Whenever it was his turn to be off duty, he would take the time to sneak out and play. If he was lucky, he could even meet a girl he liked and fuck her to relieve his sexual desire.

So he went to the game hall he had been to several times, exchanged game coins and started playing happily. It must be said that the Muggle entertainment method was really interesting, and it was a new version that he had never played since he grew up in the magical world.

But soon, a quarrel nearby attracted his attention. He looked up from the game console and saw a scene that made him ecstatic.

I was really lucky. The man that the master had told me to keep an eye on was called Ethan or Illidan or something, and he was one of the protagonists of this conflict. There were two women following him, and they seemed to call him... "Master"? Could it be that they were his servants?

Should I follow them? If I can find his whereabouts or other information, the master will definitely reward me. And if I just follow him, there is no need to ask my accomplices to come along, as that will only make my credit evenly shared.

While Ci Ai was still frowning in thought, Ethan and the others had already left the game hall. So driven by his utilitarianism, he did not call for support, but got up and followed them alone.

He also knew that he couldn't beat Ethan, so he just followed him from a distance with no intention of taking him down.

But his good luck may have ended today.

Facing the several aggressive thugs surrounding him, Ci Ai sneered and said very firmly:

"You think you're great because you have more people? What's the point of using your numbers to bully the few? If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!"

"Okay, you guys just wait a moment."

Ethan waved his hand, and Xiao Mo and Alanna immediately understood. They retreated to the corner of the open space with a few spirit-based shadows, leaving the center of the venue for Ethan and Ci Ai to perform.

"Ethan/Master is going to start cheating us again." They both said the same thing in their hearts in tacit understanding.

"You want a one-on-one duel, right? Then it's your wish."

Ethan let go of Ci Ai's shoulders, pushed him forward two steps, and pulled out his wand from his sleeve and pointed it at Ci Ai:

"Wizard duel, one-on-one, I don't need to explain the rules to you in detail, right?"

"Okay, I have no objection."

Ci Ai nodded, took out his wand from his arms and pointed it at Ethan:

"Then I'll start by counting down from three. Three—, two—, one—"

As he said that, he suddenly took off his windbreaker and threw it at Ethan's face. He took a few steps back and distanced himself from him, laughing wildly:

"You've been fooled? This is my escape route!"

Ci Ai did not wait until he was firmly planted before taking the next step. He quickly used his magic wand to make a circle while retreating:

"Apparate!"

A cool breeze blew by, and the Apparition did not work. Ci Ai stood there in embarrassment.

Isn't this right?

"I'm sorry. When I disappeared from your sight just now, I had set up an anti-Apparition barrier here, which also comes with Muggle repellent and noise reduction. Not to mention escaping by Apparition, no one would notice you even if you screamed your throat out."

Ethan rolled up the robe that covered his face and threw it aside. He spread his hands and grinned, "So, how am I going to have fun with you next, Mr. Pervert?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just come on!"

Ci Ai took a deep breath, raised his wand towards Ethan with a firm look, and his body tensed.

Then he suddenly turned around and ran for his life towards the alley he came from.

As long as I can get out of the barrier, the situation can still turn around!
