Ron was very happy today.

Because, he, a "problem" student who is about to graduate from Hogwarts Magic Academy, was inexplicably included in the top 100 in the competition with countless strong men participating, and became one of the few "strong men"?

So, he was very generous and invited his friend Hermione and best friend Harry to celebrate the victory in this Pandaren's hotel. He spent a lot of Jin Jialong to have a good meal.

"This Silver Moon City is really amazing..."

"Do you know?"

"I heard that this is the prototype that the fire demons had used in less than a day. Then, the high elves of Quelthalas enchanted and decorated them, and created this luxurious magic city in less than half a month."

"This place is at least ten thousand times stronger than Diagon Alley!!"

After staying here for so many days and becoming more and more familiar with this city, Ron liked it more and more. While having dinner, he also excitedly discussed it loudly with his two friends.

What he saw was luxurious hotels, delicious food, magical cities and those beautiful high elf girls. This was simply the Garden of Eden he had always dreamed of. He even didn't want to leave here.

"No!"

"Ron!"

"I want to correct you two..."

"First!"

"Although the fire demons did pinch it out in a short time, they used a lot of fire elements at that time, hundreds of thousands of them, but not just fire demons. Those fire demons just did not splash magma and set fire everywhere, so they appeared in our sight in large quantities?"

"Second!"

"In addition to the main Quel's High Elves, there are also upper elves, druids, goblins, dwarfs, dwarfs, and pandas of the city?"

"Although the time they spent was a little shorter than what you just said, the difficulty and the consumption of manpower and material resources were not something you and I could imagine."

"Especially the new Sun Well, the sun on the top of Anne's Palace, is made of the magical spring water of the Eternal Well, with energy that is so huge that you and I can't imagine. It is like a controllable permanent nuclear fusion device, which plays a decisive role in the construction of this magical floating island city!"

"but……"

"You are right in the last sentence. Here, whether it is big or other aspects, it can be said to be ten thousand times more than Diagon Alley?"

Hermione, who was drooping her shoulders, was young, beautiful and confident, while eating the food on her plate, talking and telling her many secrets that Harry and Ron didn't know.

Of course, as for whether Ron, born in the pure blood family, knows what nuclear fusion is, she doesn't care. Anyway, Hermione thinks that Harry should understand it. After all, Harry has lived in the Muggle world for more than ten years, and in some common sense, it is much better than Ron.

"So that's the case?"

"So amazing!"

Harry nodded, then exclaimed and then disappeared, and continued to bow his head and eat his own without expressing too much about what Hermione said.

"ah……"

"Hermione, you know so much..."

"It's really worthy of being Wan... Ms. Bai who can live in the palace is different from us."

Hermione stared at the talking nonsense for a while, then Ron said a little sourly, and then his face, which had been promoted and excited, gradually became darker because of his advancement and his joy.

“!!”

"Ron!"

"What I just said, as long as you work hard to establish a good relationship with the elves in the city, the pandas or any other race in the Azeroth world, they will tell you that it's not a secret, what does it have to do with whether I live in the palace?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then put down the tableware called chopsticks in her hand, and directly raised her eyebrows and refuted to Ron.

"you……"

"What, why is that okay?"

"Look!"

"We were invited together, why are you the only one living in the palace, and Harry and I need to find a hotel by ourselves?"

"That Professor Anne is so nice to you!"

"Harry, you said right?"

It's okay if you don't talk about this. When Ron talks about this, he gets angry and sarcastically sarcastic, and wants to pull Harry to help himself.

Ron had long wanted to go in and see the huge palace, located in the middle of the city and with the Royal Garden. Unfortunately, they were not invited until today, so the Fire Demon Royal Guards did not allow them to approach, so every time he could only watch Hermione enter with a chat and laugh, and his heart was so sad.

"ah?"

"Well..."

"I think it's good to live outside..."

Harry was startled, and then he looked at Ron next to him, then looked at Hermione, who was standing upright with a fierce expression and a bit scary look, and then he hesitated for a moment and could only say carefully so timidly.

"Ron!"

"The reason why I can live in the palace is not only because I am a student of Professor Anne, but also because I am Professor Anne's apprentice, which means "closed disciple."

"At the same time, we are still very good friends. We have known each other since she went to Hogwarts to teach. I even invited her to stay at my house for a while, and my parents knew her. Wouldn't you know?"

"besides!"

"Professor Anne did not actually invite you, she just invited me, and the reason why you can come here is because of my relationship. I ask Professor Anne to let her agree to what I brought you here!"

“Then…”

"If you were willing to spend time and work hard to establish a good relationship with Professor Anne, I think she might invite you to the palace as a guest, even if all the people living there were just a group of girls?"

As if she was really angry, Hermione just raised her eyebrows, showed a very majestic expression, and began to preach Ron and Harry, who was innocently caught in the shooting.

“Hey hey!”

"Hermione, I didn't say I wanted to live in that palace. I'm grateful to be able to come with you to gain insight, really!"

Seeing that Hermione's firepower was very strong, Harry hurriedly raised his hands to express his surrender.

Then, he also kicked Ron under the table at the same time, signaling the other party not to humiliate himself anymore, because whether they were reasoning or forceful, they would not be Hermione's opponents alone.

Of course, except for the rogue defense of cheating and unreasonable rogues?

“…”

After receiving Harry's reminder, although Ron stopped, he had no intention of giving in. He just confronted Hermione without giving in.

Ron's meaning is obvious, that is, although what he said just now may not make any sense, he just refused to admit defeat or mistakes, and did whatever he wanted.

“…”

Hermione didn't rush to speak, but just looked at Ron with a angrily face. Although she was already very familiar with Ron, everyone has been in touch with the present since the first grade. However, after so many years, the other party still has various ways to anger her!

Compared to Harry, he is really bad, and he is like a child?

"Ron!"

"I have something I have to tell you."

so……

After hesitating for a while, Hermione, whose expression on her face slightly slowed down, decided to talk about something that made her think about for two days now. Then, after that, he quickly went back to do targeted training for the next game, instead of wasting time here.

"What, what?"

Ron was a little surprised to see Hermione taking the initiative to surrender.

"It's the game!"

"Ron, you shouldn't abuse the unforgivable curse!"

"You know what I mean..."

"It's that 'Avadassoft' curse!"

At this time, Hermione's face gradually became solemn again, and she seriously and subconsciously used a preaching tone.

“!?”

"For, why not?"

"That's a duel, a game, there's no limit! Besides, aren't all those people rescued? What's the point?"

Hermione didn't say it, but when she said it, Ron was like a cat with a trampled tail, and instantly burst into tears and jumped up to appeal.

Especially Hermione's preaching tone made Ron very unhappy. From the first grade to now, every time he heard the other person talking to him in that tone, he always had the urge to overturn the table and beat someone up.

"Ron..."

"Believe me!"

"It's not just because it's 'incomparable magic', it has deeper factors!"

Hermione paused, and then, regardless of whether Ron and Harry could understand, she continued to add:

"It's the soul!"

"That spell, it can take away people's souls, right?"

"It is precisely because of that, it is difficult to defend."

"Of course, that doesn't matter!"

"The key is..."

"Ron, while you take away other people's souls, those souls will also affect you!"

"Believe me!"

"The soul is a mysterious existence. You should protect it as much as possible. Whether it is missing or resentment, it will not be a good thing for you!"

Hermione persuaded him earnestly, and it was very sincere.

“!!”

"But you have used it before, I've seen it!"

"And Harry!"

"He has used it before, just like you!"

Hearing this, Ron instantly widened his eyes and panted and quibbled loudly, which caused the guests around the hotel to throw a gaze to him. He couldn't even care about it.

"I know!"

"It's because I've used it, that's why I advise you!"

"You see, in the game, have Ha and I used it all these years?"

After looking at the guests around her, Hermione couldn't help but feel a little bored, but she still held back and lowered her voice to continue admonishment.

Hermione himself learned about some taboos and secret contents after contacting them, and also knew why the Ministry of Magic listed them as unforgivable spells. It not only has the factor of punishment, but also a kind of protection for wizards!

However, the secrets in them are definitely not understood without systematic study and research. They are a hazy feeling and profound experience that can only be understood but not expressed in words, and cannot be explained in words at all.

Hermione herself saw some clues and introductions in Anne's magic book. Then, when she couldn't understand, she took it to discuss with Principal Dumbledore, she was able to get a little cryptic reminder from the cunning old man.

Now, seeing that her friend Ron is in danger of going astray, she has to raise it at this time when it is not suitable.

“…”

Ron suddenly stopped talking, and his expression clearly expressed his meaning, which was probably: 'Although what you said might make sense, I just don't accept it'?

"that……"

"Ron."

"I think you'd better listen to her?"

At this time, Harry thought about it and advised Ron carefully with a serious expression.

In Harry's opinion, Hermione is the strongest and youngest white wizard in the magic world. Moreover, Harry himself empathizes with the unforgivable spell. His vague intuition tells him that Hermione is right!

"ha!"

"I see……"

"You are jealous of me!"

"I've advanced to the top, right?"

Unfortunately, after frowning and thinking about it, Ron suddenly browsed, then he sneered, and looked at the shocked Hermione and Harry with that extremely disappointed expression.

"No!"

"I don't!"

Hermione's face turned red after rubbing the ground, and her expression became angry again.

"Neither I!"

Harry also waved his hand to explain.

"You guys have it!"

Ron seemed a little excited and interrupted the two of them directly.

"before!"

"It's all you guys who are showing off!"

"Harry has been the focus of everyone's attention since he entered the school and from the first grade."

"And Hermione, you are a genius, a top student, and that Miss All-My Knowledge!"

"And what about me?"

"I'm nothing!"

"I am just a little follower who follows you in the eyes of others!!"

As he spoke, Ron began to roar.

"You guys are better than me!"

"Whether it's grades, popularity, or being popular?"

While smiling miserably, Ron, who had completely exploded, also looked back and forth at the shocked Hermione and Harry with such a very disappointed, jealous, hatred and mocking look.

"Three years ago..."

"During the Cup of Fire Triumph Championship, both of you were selected. Everyone was paying attention to you, and you could also go to the Prophet newspaper every day!"

"Especially you!"

"Hermione, you finally captured the Black Mosaic Head alive, and Harry, you also participated. You are all great heroes, saviors of the magic world, and the strongest White Wizard Miss?"

"And what about me?"

"I'm nothing!"

Ron continued to roar, without caring about Harry who wanted to explain something and Hermione who gradually became disappointed in shame and anger.

"Look at it now, I finally reached the top 100 with my own strength, but you are starting to be jealous of me."

"Especially you!"

"Harry, you were eliminated in the third game. How about it, are you feeling very unbalanced!?"

Ron grinned and suddenly turned his head and asked Harry.

Since Hermione also advanced, Ron couldn't use this to squeeze the other party, so he had to use it to squeeze the Harry beside him.

"No!"

"I don't, Ron, I'm happy for you, really!"

Harry's face turned a little red, and the veins on his neck became thicker. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

"Shut up!"

"You just can't stand me better than you. Just like Fred and George and others, you like to see me cowardly and want to suppress me in everything you do, right?"

"I tell you, this time, I will win!"

"I will win the championship and then become the king of this world, you will see it!"

"I promise!"

After saying that, Ron turned around and left the seat angrily, and didn't even want to take care of the promised treat. He didn't even settle the account, so he slammed the door and left in a hurry.

“…”

"Hermione, to be honest, you shouldn't mention that matter to him at this time, look, he was angry."

"You have the least one, and you should wait until he is eliminated before you mention it?"

Looking at Ron's back as he went away, he knew that nothing was useful to say now. At the same time, Harry, who was still a little depressed, had to sit back dejectedly and smiled bitterly at Hermione helplessly.

"No……"

"Look!"

"He may have been affected. If this continues, I don't know what he will become..."

Hermione frowned and looked at the direction where Ron left for a long time speechless.

"I know!"

"But he can't win a few games anyway, why can't you wait any longer?"

Harry also had some complaints about Hermione.

They were originally coming out happily today, but as they were talking, they ended up in disagreement. If he had known this was the case, he would not have suggested calling Hermione out too. In that case, no matter what Ron said, he would definitely not refute her in a tit-for-tat way like Hermione.

After all, that guy Ron is like that. He can only speak when he is happy or following the other person's will. It is definitely useless to preach like Hermione.

"I'm not equal!!"

"Harry!"

"Voldemort's soul fragments have had such a big impact on you. Do you not know what the consequences of Ron's abuse of the Unforgivable Spell?"

"Think about the Death Eaters, think about the reason why it is called the Unforgivable Spell!"

When Hermione heard Harry actually talk about him, she was so angry that she refuted him directly.

"I know!"

"But Ron must not listen!"

"so……"

“It’s useless!”

With his hands spread out, Harry signaled Hermione to look at the empty seat next to him, that was that she did not listen to his advice and insisted on suddenly mentioning the consequences of that matter.

"Besides?"

"The soul in Ron's wand was taken back by the Paladins and the priests after the game, right?"

"It shouldn't matter for the time being, right?"

Then, Harry began to comfort Hermione.

"it's useless……"

"You saw it just now."

In Hermione's opinion, even if it was a short time, the other party would probably not be able to resist it, and his soul might be polluted.

“…”

Harry was silent, he had no choice.

"never mind!"

"I'm back."

"If you have the chance, I will go and ask Professor Anne. She should have a solution."

Hermione had no choice but to seek help from the omnipotent Professor Anne. Of course, it was definitely not now. She had to find a suitable time to mention that kind of thing.

"I'll go too!"

Harry, who had nowhere to go for the moment, also stood up and wanted to follow Hermione to the palace to gain insight.

"No!"

"You go find Ron and follow him. Even if you can't persuade him, at least don't let him do stupid things."

"Besides, Professor Anne doesn't like seeing you!"

As she said that, Hermione picked up his stuff, waved her hand, and hurriedly left the hotel.

“…”

He opened his mouth, and in the end Harry said nothing.

“!?”

Watching Hermione leave, Harry sat for a while before getting up and preparing to leave.

However, at this time, when he saw him leaving, a panda maid with a wide body, fat body, a smile and a full and round figure, certainly walked up to him impolitely and stopped him.

"guest!"

"This is a bill, how do you pay?"

"We collect gold and silver coins here, no matter which country we are from!"

The Panda Maid said with a smile and handed a bill to Harry.

“!!”

"oh!"

“It’s bad now…”

He was stunned, and then Harry, who remembered something, hurriedly reached out to his pocket while taking the bill.

However, his two pockets were empty, and then he remembered that when he went out today, because Ron said he wanted to treat him, he seemed to remember to bring nothing?

"guest?"

"Is there any problem?"

Seeing Harry's expression, the panda maid's smiling big pie face slowly cooled down, and she looked at him motionlessly with her big eyes in the dark circles.

"that……"

"this……"

"I don't seem to remember to bring money. Can you send someone to the hotel with me to get the money?"

“My hotel is on the other end of the city…”

Harry said awkwardly.

“…”

However, the panda maid didn't speak, just stared at him motionlessly, and didn't know what she was thinking about.

"so!"

"This is my wand, I'll take it with you, and I'll go back and get the money to redeem it, how about?"

As a last resort, seeing that the other party seemed to not believe in him, Harry had to bite the bullet and take out his wand.

"By the way!"

"I know your Queen Anne, she invited us here, I promise!"

"I will definitely get the money back soon!"

Seeing that the other party did not take his wand, Harry had to bite the bullet and bring out the title of Professor Anne, who was said to be very prestigious and powerful.

"Feel sorry!"

"This guest, Queen Anne is not the queen of us Panda people..."

Unfortunately, even though Harry offered the title of a bad little girl, the Panda Maid still disapproves of his statement.

"but……"

"We have a lot of dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen that have not been washed. If you don't mind, you can choose to wash the dishes and chopsticks for a long time to offset the meal?"

"or……"

"You can also choose to go to the wine cellar to help us eliminate those annoying and irritable wine spirit creatures. If you are really a wizard?"

Looking at the broken wood in Harry's hand, the panda maid in the hotel thought about it and suggested this.

“!!”

"good!"

"Take me to the wine cellar!"

Listening to the other party's two options, after thinking for a long time, Harry, who had already washed his dishes since he was a child, resolutely chose the latter.

"Very good!"

"Guest, please come with me?"

Hearing Harry choose the latter, the Panda Maid cheered, then dragged her round body, grabbed Harry's wrist and dragged her to the warehouse behind the restaurant.

"Why!"

“Slow down…”

"I want to prepare..."

"By the way!"

"What is that 'grief wine spirit creature' like? Will it be very strong?"

While being dragged forward by this panda girl with great strength and a perfect figure, Harry asked anxiously.

"Don't worry!"

“It’s not strong!”

"It's just a little wine spirit that broke out from the barrel transported from the Storm Wine Brewery. We've met it many times."

The panda maid said with a relaxed look on her face and began to make a calculation in her heart. If this matter is done, except for the money that the wizard who eats freely, how much difference can she, the middleman, earn from the "destroy" fee that the boss has already paid?
