Ron was very happy today.
Because, he, a 'problem' student who is about to graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, yesterday inexplicably entered the top 100 list in a competition with countless strong players, becoming one of the few One of the strong ones?
So, in a rare act of generosity, he invited his good friend Hermione and best friend Harry to the Pandaren's restaurant to celebrate the victory, and spent a lot of gold Galleons on a delicious meal.
"This Silver Moon City is really powerful..."
"do you know?"
"I heard people say that it took the fire demons less than a day to create this prototype. Then, the high elves of Quel'Thalas enchanted and decorated it, and they created this luxurious magic in less than half a month. The city.”
"This place is at least ten thousand times better 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 eating, he excitedly discussed it loudly with his two friends.
What he saw was that there were luxurious hotels, delicious food, magical cities, and those beautiful high elf girls. This was simply the Garden of Eden that Ron had dreamed of, and he even didn't want to leave here.
"No!"
"Ron!"
"I want to correct you two..."
"First!"
"Although this place was indeed created by the fire demons in a short period of time, many fire elements, hundreds of thousands of them, were used at that time. It was not just the fire demons. Those fire demons were just because of the lack of They can splash lava everywhere and set fires, so they appear in large numbers in our sights?"
"Secondly!"
"In addition to the main high elves of Quel'Thalas, there are also druids of high elves, tauren and night elves, goblins, dwarves, gnomes and pandaren who participated in the decoration work of this city?"
"Although the time they spent is shorter than what you just said, the degree of hardship and the consumption of manpower and material resources are beyond what you and I can imagine."
"Especially the New Sunwell, the sun on top of Anne's Palace. It was made from the magic spring water of the Well of Eternity. It has energy so huge that you and I can't even imagine. It's like a controllable permanent core. Like the fusion device, it played a decisive role in the construction of this magical floating island city!"
"but……"
"Your last sentence is correct. In terms of size and other aspects, this place can indeed be said to be ten thousand times larger than Diagon Alley?"
With slumped shoulders, the young, beautiful and confident Hermione was eating the food on her plate while chatting, directly telling many secrets that neither Harry nor Ron knew.
Of course, she didn't care as to whether Ron, who was born in a pure-blood family, knew what nuclear fusion was. Anyway, Hermione felt that Harry should understand. After all, Harry had more than ten years of experience. Living in the Muggle world, Shi is much better than Ron in some aspects of common sense.
"So that's it?"
"awesome!"
Harry nodded, then held up his glasses and exclaimed, then said nothing. He continued to just lower his head and eat his own, without expressing too many opinions on what Hermione said.
"ah……"
"Hermione, you know so much..."
"As expected of Wan... Ms. Bai who can live in the palace, she is just different from the rest of us."
After staring at Hermione who was chatting for a while, Ron said something sour. Then, his face, which was originally filled with excitement because of his advancement, gradually turned gloomy.
"!!"
"Ron!"
"What I just said, as long as you carefully establish a good relationship with the elves, pandaren or any other race in the world of Azeroth in the city, they will tell you that it is not a secret, am I right? What does it matter if you live in the palace?”
Hermione was stunned for a moment, then put down the utensils called chopsticks in her hands, raised her eyebrows, and refuted Ron.
"you……"
"Why, why doesn't it matter?"
"look!"
"We were invited together. Why is it that only you can live in the palace, but Harry and I need to find a hotel by ourselves?"
"That Professor Anne is really kind to you!"
"Harry, are you right?"
It was okay not to talk about this matter, but Ron became angry when he mentioned it, and sneered sarcastically, and at the same time wanted to get Harry to help him.
Ron had long wanted to go in and see the huge palace located in the middle of the city with a royal garden. Unfortunately, they had not been invited until today, so the fire demon royal guards The soldier didn't allow them to get close, so every time he could only watch helplessly as Hermione went in chatting and laughing with others, not to mention how sad he felt.
"ah?"
"Well..."
"I think it's good to live outside..."
Harry was startled, and then he looked at Ron next to him, and then at Hermione across the table, who was frowning, looking fierce, and looking a little scary. Then, he hesitated for a moment, and just said He could say it so submissively and carefully.
"Ron!"
"The reason why I can live in the palace is not only because I am Professor Anne's student, 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 before she went to Hogwarts to teach. I even invited her to stay at my house for a while. My parents also know her. , don’t you know?”
"besides!"
"Professor Anne actually didn't 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 me bringing you here!"
"And then..."
"If you were willing to spend time and work hard to build a good relationship with Professor Anne, I think she might also invite you to the palace as guests, even if all the people living there are just a group of girls?"
As if she was really angry, Hermione raised her eyebrows, showed a very majestic expression, and began to lecture Ron and Harry, who was innocently lying beside him.
"Hey!"
"Hermione, I didn't say I wanted to live in that palace. I'm just grateful to be able to come with you to gain some knowledge. Really!"
Seeing that Hermione's firepower was ready to be used on him at any time, Harry quickly raised his hands to express surrender.
Then, he also kicked Ron under the table at the same time, signaling the other person to stop humiliating himself, because no matter whether they were talking about reason or force, the two of them together would not be Hermione. One's opponent.
Of course, except for the scoundrel and unreasonable defense methods?
"..."
After receiving Harry's reminder, Ron stopped, but he had no intention of giving in, and continued to confront Hermione as if he refused to admit defeat.
Ron's meaning is already clear, that is: although what he just said may indeed make no sense, he just doesn't admit defeat or admit his mistakes, no matter what.

"..."
Hermione didn't speak in a hurry, she just looked at Ron with an angry face. Although she was already very familiar with Ron, and they had been in contact with him since the first grade, but after so many years, he Just like before, there were always various ways to irritate her!
Compared with Harry, he is really so bad, he still looks like a child?
"Ron!"
"There's something I have to tell you."
so……
After hesitating for a while, Hermione, whose expression softened slightly, decided to go and talk about something that had made her think about for two days, and then, after finishing speaking, she hurried back to prepare for the next step. Do targeted training for the competition instead of wasting time here.
"W-what?"
Ron was a little surprised to see Hermione take the initiative to surrender.
"It's about the competition!"
"Ron, you shouldn't abuse the Unforgivable Curse!"
"You know what I mean..."
"That's the 'Avada Kedavra' curse!"
At this time, Hermione's face gradually became serious again, and she used a preaching tone in a serious and subconscious manner.
"!?"
"W-why not?"
"That's a duel, a competition, without any restrictions! Besides, haven't those people been rescued? What's the big deal?"
It was okay if Hermione didn't say it, but when she mentioned it, Ron was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his fur instantly exploded and he jumped up in protest.
Especially Hermione's preaching tone, which has always made Ron very, very unhappy. From the first grade to the present, every time he hears the other party talking to him in that tone, he always has the urge to turn the table over. The urge to hit someone.
"Ron..."
"Believe me!"
"The reason why it is an 'Unforgivable Curse' is not just because it is an 'instant death magic', it also has deeper factors!"
Hermione paused, and then, regardless of whether Ron and Harry understood or not, she continued to add:
"It's the soul!"
"That spell can take away people's souls, right?"
"That's why it's so difficult to defend against."
"Of course, that's not important!"
"The key is……"
"Ron, when you take away other people's souls, those people's souls will also affect you!"
"Believe me!"
"The soul is a very mysterious existence. You should protect it as much as possible. Whether it is missing or if there is an extra one, it will not be a good thing for you!"
Hermione persuaded her earnestly and sincerely.
"!!"
"But you've used it before, I saw it!"
"And Harry!"
"He's used it before, just like you!"
Upon hearing what was going on, Ron's eyes widened instantly and he gasped and quibbled loudly, which caused the guests around the hotel to pay attention and salute one after another, and he didn't even care.
"I know!"
"It's because I've used it before that I advise you!"
"Have you seen me and Harry use it during the games, and over the years?"
Looking at the guests around her, Hermione couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but she still held it back and continued to exhort in a low voice.
Hermione herself only learned about some taboos and secret contents after being exposed to them, and she also knew why the Ministry of Magic listed them as unforgivable curses. It not only had a punishment factor, but was also a form of punishment for wizards. Protect!
However, the secrets within it cannot be understood without systematic study and research. It is a hazy feeling and profound experience that can only be understood and cannot be explained in words.
Hermione herself also saw some clues and introductions in Anne's magic book. Then, she couldn't understand it, and when she discussed it with Principal Dumbledore, she was able to learn from that cunning old man. I got a little subtle reminder from my mouth.
But now, seeing that her friend Ron was in danger of going astray, she had to bring it up at this inappropriate time.
"..."
Ron suddenly stopped talking, and his expression clearly expressed what he meant, which was probably: 'Although what you said may make sense, I just don't accept it.' What does that mean?
"that……"
"Ron."
"I think it's best for you to listen to her?"
At this time, Harry thought for a while and then carefully advised Ron with a serious face.
In Harry's opinion, Hermione is the strongest and youngest white wizard in the magical world. Moreover, Harry himself feels the same about the Unforgivable Curse, and his faint intuition tells him that Hermione is right!
"ha!"
"I see……"
"You are jealous of me!"
"I advanced to the extreme, right?"
Unfortunately, after Ron frowned and thought for a while, he suddenly raised his brows, then laughed ferociously, and looked at the astonished Hermione and Harry with expressions of extreme disappointment.
"No!"
"I don't!"
Hermione's face flushed red, and then her expression turned angry again.
"I do not have either!"
Harry also quickly waved his hands to explain.
"You have it!"
Ron seemed a little excited and interrupted the two of them directly.
"before!"
"It's all you who steal the show!"
"Harry has been the focus of everyone's attention since he entered school, from first grade."
"And Hermione, you are a genius, a top student, and the know-it-all lady!"
"and I?"
"I am nothing!"
"In the eyes of others, I'm just a little follower following you!!"
As he spoke, Ron began to roar.
"You are better than me at everything!"
"Whether it's grades, popularity, or being in the limelight?"
While laughing miserably, Ron, who had completely exploded, kept glancing back and forth at the astonished Hermione and Harry with his very disappointed, jealous, hateful and mocking eyes.
"three years ago……"
"During the Goblet of Fire Triwizard Tournament, both of you were selected. Everyone was paying attention to you, and you were in the Prophet's newspaper every day!"
"Especially you!"
"Hermione, you finally captured the Black Mask alive, and Harry also participated. You are both great heroes, the saviors of the magical world, and the strongest Miss White Wizard?"
"and I?"
"I am nothing!"
Ron continued to roar, ignoring Harry who wanted to explain something and Hermione who was gradually becoming disappointed in shame and anger.
"Look now, I relied on my own strength to finally reach the top 100, but you are starting to be jealous of me,"
"Especially you!"
"Harry, you were eliminated in the third game. What, are you feeling very unbalanced!?"
Ron smiled ferociously and suddenly turned to Harry and asked.
Since Hermione had also advanced, Ron couldn't use this to criticize the other party, so he had to use it to criticize Harry next to him.
"No!"
"I'm not, 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 see me being better than you. You are just like Fred and George. You just like to see me look cowardly and want to overwhelm me no matter what you do, right?"
"I tell you, this time, I will definitely win!"
"I will win the championship and become the king of this world, you will see it!"
"I promise!"
After saying that, Ron turned around and left the table angrily. He didn't even want to take care of the treat he had agreed to. He didn't even settle the bill and hurriedly slammed the door and walked away.
"..."
"Hermione, to be honest, you shouldn't have mentioned that matter to him at this time. You see, he is angry."
"You should at least wait until he is eliminated before mentioning it?"
Looking at Ron's retreating back, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, Harry, who was still a little frustrated, could only sit back slumped and said to Hermione with a helpless smile.
"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 Ron left for a long time without saying anything.
"I know!"
"But he can't win a few games anyway, so why can't you wait?"
Harry also complained about Hermione.
They originally came out happily today, but as they were talking, they ended up unhappy. If he had known this was the case, he would not have suggested calling Hermione out. In that case, at least no matter what Ron said , and he himself would definitely not refute it tit-for-tat like Hermione did.
After all, Ron's temperament is like that. He can only talk when he is happy or in compliance with the other person's wishes. It is definitely useless to preach like Hermione.
"I'm not equal!!"
"Harry!"
"Voldemort's soul fragment has had such a great impact on you. Don't you know the consequences of Ron's abuse of the Unforgivable Curse?"
"Think about those Death Eaters, and why it's called the Unforgivable Curse!"
Hearing that Harry actually talked about herself, Hermione was so angry that she directly refuted it.
"I know!"
"But Ron won't listen!"
"so……"
"It's no use!"
Spreading his hands, Harry motioned Hermione to look at the empty seat next to him, which was the result of her not listening to his advice and insisting on suddenly bringing up that matter.
"Moreover?"
"The soul in Ron's wand was taken back by the paladins and priests after the game, wasn't it?"
"It shouldn't matter for now, right?"
Then, Harry began to comfort Hermione.
"it's useless……"
"You just saw it too."
From Hermione's point of view, the other party might not be able to resist Ron's temper even for a short period of time, and his soul might be contaminated.
"..."
Harry was silent, there was nothing he could do anyway.
"never mind!"
"I'm going back."
"If I have a chance, I will ask Professor Anne. She should be able to find a solution."
Hermione herself had no choice but to turn to the all-powerful Professor Anne for help. Of course, it was definitely not now. She had to find a suitable time to mention that kind of thing.
"I am coming too!"
Harry, who had nowhere to go for the time being, also stood up, and then wanted to follow Hermione to the palace to gain some knowledge.
"No!"
"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 to see you!"
With that said, Hermione picked up her things, waved her hands, and hurriedly left the hotel.
"..."
Harry opened his mouth, but in the end Harry said nothing.
"!?"
Watching Hermione leave, Harry sat for a while before getting up to leave.
However, at this time, when she saw that he was about to leave, a pandaren maid, who was wide, fat, smiling, and plump and round, walked up to him rudely and stopped him.
"guest!"
"Here's the bill, how are you going to pay it?"
"We accept gold and silver coins here, no matter which country they are from!"
The Pandaren maid said with a smile and handed a bill into Harry's hand.
"!!"
"oh!"
"This is bad..."
Harry was startled, then thought of something, and then he took the bill and hurriedly reached into his pocket.
However, both pockets were empty, and then he remembered that Ron wanted to treat him when he went out today, so he didn't seem to remember to bring anything with him?
"guest?"
"Any questions?"
Seeing Harry's expression, the smiling face of the Pandaren maid of course slowly cooled down, and she looked at him motionless with her big eyes with dark circles.
"that……"
"this……"
"I don't seem to have remembered to bring any money. Can you send someone back to the hotel with me to get the money?"
"My hotel is on the other side of the city..."
Harry said awkwardly.
"..."
However, the Pandaren maid didn't speak, she just stared at him motionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"so!"
"This is my wand. I'll leave it with you. I'll go back and get the money to redeem it. How about it?"
As a last resort, seeing that the other party didn't seem to believe him, Harry had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out his wand.
"correct!"
"I know your Queen Anne, she invited us here, I promise!"
"I'll definitely get the money back soon!"
Seeing that the other party did not pick up his wand, Harry had no choice but to bite the bullet and use the name of Professor Anne, who was said to be very prestigious and powerful.
"Feel sorry!"
"This guest, Queen Anne is not the queen of our panda people..."
It's a pity that even though Harry mentioned the name of a bad little girl, the Pandaren maid still didn't agree with his statement.
"but……"
"There are still a lot of dishes and chopsticks in our kitchen that have not been washed. If you don't mind, guests, can you choose to wash the dishes and chopsticks for half a day to offset the meal cost?"
"or……"
"You can also choose to go to the wine cellar to help us eliminate those annoying and violent alcoholic creatures. What if you are really a mage?"
Looking at the broken piece of wood that looked like a fire stick in Harry's hand, the panda maid in the hotel thought about it and then suggested this.
"!!"
"good!"
"Take me to the wine cellar!"
After listening to the two options presented by the other party, after thinking for a long time, Harry, who had washed enough dishes since he was a child, decided to choose the latter.
"Very good!"
"Guest, please come with me?"
Hearing that Harry chose the latter, the Pandaren maid cheered, then dragged her chubby body, grabbed Harry's wrist and dragged her to the warehouse behind the restaurant.
"Why!"
"Slow down..."
"I want to prepare..."
"correct!"
"What does that 'violent alcoholic creature' look like? Is it very strong?"
While being dragged forward by this strong and plump panda girl, Harry asked urgently.
"Do not worry!"
"It's not strong!"
"It's just a little spirit that broke out of the barrel shipped from the Stormstout Brewery. We have encountered it many times."
The Pandaren maid said with a relaxed expression, and began to make crazy calculations in her heart. If this thing is done, apart from the meal money paid by this freeloading mage, how can she, the middleman, get the money that the boss has already paid? How much of the difference do you earn from the 'spiritual removal' fees you pay?
