Anti-Goblin Apparition Curse

Unfortunately, this unique duel did not commence immediately.

"Maxon, all clear. All goblins are dead," several Viking warriors shouted from above.

"What about the goods?" Evan called up from below.

The Viking warriors descended, and one walked forward, his rough, blood-stained face etched with a touch of sorrow. "One of the eggs was destroyed."

As he spoke, he unfurled a fur-wrapped bundle in his hands. Inside lay three dragon eggs, each about the size of a rugby ball, and a small dragon that had hatched prematurely from a cracked egg.

It was sticky, its eyes could barely open or close, and it was clearly on its last breath, only able to inhale, not exhale.

Mu En glanced at it and stepped forward.

"Let me see."

He approached the fur bundle held by the man. A mass of unabsorbed yolk still clung to the little dragon's abdomen, and the membrane surrounding it was crisscrossed with blood vessels.

Mu En slowly extended his hand towards the bundle, and a faint green mist flowed out, enveloping it.

The yolk beneath the little dragon began to be absorbed at an accelerated rate, its scales hardened rapidly, and its entire body visibly swelled.

"Cough—cough—"

The little dragon shakily stood up, coughing out fluid from its throat, and even spewed out black smoke with a sulfurous smell.

"It's alive! It's alive!!" The Viking man holding the bundle exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and joy.

"Wait!!" One person's eyes widened in astonishment.

Crack—

Next to the little dragon, cracks began to spread across another dragon egg.

Then, the man gently placed the bundle on the ground, and a group of people formed a circle around it. Outside the crowd, a group of dragons stretched their long necks, also peering in.

Subsequently, the other three dragon eggs began to hatch one after another!

A total of four little dragons quickly appeared before everyone's eyes. The group erupted in laughter, letting out joyous roars.

Inside the castle, Lucifer, hearing the commotion outside, felt a pang of annoyance. "What are these people celebrating about? Why are they so happy?!

I really want to see!!!

They're so happy, and I know nothing about it. It feels like ants are crawling all over me!"

Evan stood up and looked at Mu En solemnly. "Mr. Jones, thank you."

Mu En smiled, looking at the newly hatched young creatures, and replied indifferently, "It's nothing, just a small effort."

Of course, that's what he said. Evan and the Viking warriors didn't see it that way. Half the people in their village were spellcasters, but none of them could do something like this so casually.

Their village possessed ancient and extensive skills in raising and taming dragons, yet the birth and survival rates of dragon whelps remained low.

It wasn't just them; even at several officially authorized dragon farms under the International Confederation of Wizards, the incubation and survival of dragon eggs were still major challenges.

Even if all four eggs were safely returned to the dragon's nest, it was estimated that only two would successfully hatch.

Dragon eggs were not something that could simply be incubated and raised by anyone by increasing the temperature alone.

Therefore, Mu En's feat truly opened the eyes of these Viking warriors, filling them with immense gratitude.

Historically, Viking people, based on their combat styles, were divided into two factions:

The Dragon Hunters and the Dragon Tamers.

Dragon Hunters utilized the dragons' hides, claws, and bones to craft powerful magical equipment for themselves. Dragon Tamers, on the other hand, treated dragons as family, living and fighting alongside them, and also refused to use dragon products.

Especially for small groups like their village, the life and death of each member were extremely important.

Thus, Mu En's actions were no different from saving their family members.

For a time, various expressions of thanks flowed ceaselessly. Evan even invited Mu En and Harry to be guests in their village.

Mu En thought about it. He was planning to visit the village in a couple of days anyway, so going today... wasn't impossible.

"When we get to the village, let's have a fight!"

Slap! Evan said exasperatedly, "Can you just shut up!"

After scolding his own child, Evan turned serious. "However, if Mr. Mu En truly wishes for the children to compete, we can hold a formal duel in the village."

Although Mu En was powerful, when it came to children, he didn't believe his child was inferior to others.

While Kri was not a spellcaster, he had lived and fought alongside dragons since childhood, and his combat ability was unmatched among his peers.

He often bullied even the children from their village who went to magic school and returned.

When it came to fighting, they, the Vikings, had never been afraid.

Mu En nodded. He genuinely wanted Harry to test his skills. After so much training, how could he not engage in actual combat?

"Then let's go," Mu En said.

The boy named Kri looked at Harry again, tilted his head, and said with a hint of boastfulness, "Come on, get on my dragon, I'll take you!"

Harry felt a bit awkward and then shook his head. "No need, I have my own means of transportation."

With that, he called out towards the castle, "Meteor!!"

In the darkness, a lightning bolt shot out with a swish, landing in front of Harry. The broom head kept scraping the ground, appearing extremely excited.

Kri looked at the speed at which the broom had flown out, a little surprised. He then mounted the dragon's back and proposed, "Race you?"

"Let's race then."

With that, the two children eagerly shouted "Three, two, one!" and flew off.

Evan was a bit embarrassed. "I apologize, but because this child isn't a wizard, his competitive spirit flares up whenever he encounters a wizard of the same age."

"It's quite alright," Mu En shook his head. "Pete, though I've always told him to act calmly, I can tell he's not exactly the settled type."

After speaking, the group followed closely behind.

During the flight, Mu En also learned from Evan that the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon that had attacked Harry half a year ago had actually flown out from their village.

Evan had learned from the dragon farm intern who had returned the dragon to their village at the time that the dragon had been defeated by a powerful wizard capable of independent flight.

This made Evan recall the incident when he saw Mu En flying earlier.

After confirming, he discovered it was indeed the same person.

It could be considered fate.

At the same time, Mu En also understood why those goblins had not used Apparition to leave.

Those goblins were forbidden from spatial teleportation.

In the magical world, many creatures possessed the ability to teleport – Zouwu, phoenixes, goblins, and even house-elves.

Each race's teleportation method was different. The Apparition used by wizards in this world was also an analysis, summation, and imitation of the teleportation methods of different creatures!

This led to different anti-Apparition curses being effective only against specific races.

Just as Hogwarts' anti-Apparition could not restrain house-elves, the goblins Mu En had encountered earlier had also fallen victim to an anti-curse specifically targeting goblin teleportation.

This was also a very important magical spell invention from the Second Goblin War, with its inventor reportedly having made it onto a Chocolate Frog Card, thus entering history.

By the time Mu En had clarified these matters, the group had arrived at Lorland Village.

Wishing everyone a hearty appetite and robust health.

One more thing, today at twelve o'clock, I will be featured on the recommendation list. I'm asking for your votes and readership.

As everyone knows the current rules on Qidian, no readership is equivalent to being half-dead.

Especially the decisive Tuesday readership. So, I'm thinking, on Tuesday – three chapters!!! (I won't get too many during the new book period, but I'll definitely explode with updates once it's on the shelves.)

So, if there are any patrons who are saving the book, you can come and take a look on Tuesday too (v).

All you patrons!

Let's charge forward one more time with this unworthy me!!!

Oh, right, this is currently to show everyone the results of the protagonist's education. After this fight, it'll be the start of the school season!!
