I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 329 Grandpa is Seriously Ill
When it came to playing cards, Harry had no advantage as the son of luck. In just two hours, he had already lost three gold Galleons. If the twins hadn't let him win on purpose, he would have lost all his money.

Louis' luck was not very good today. He lost a little, but all the money was won by the three Weasley brothers.

"You three brothers are too lucky. I won't play with you anymore." Harry threw the cards away and prepared to give way to Lu Dayo: "I'm about to get off the bus. Forget it. Let's play again another day after I wash my hands!"

Everyone looked out the window and saw that they were indeed almost there, the train had already entered London.

"It's almost time..." Harry murmured. He was still a little reluctant, but also a little excited - this was the first time he would spend his summer vacation at Sirius's house instead of going back to that hateful Uncle Vernon's house.

"Why, you still don't want to go home?" Louis asked with a raised eyebrow, "This is the first time I've seen a student who doesn't want to go home during the holidays... But I don't quite understand. If it was normal in the first two years, and you're not going to the Dursleys this year..."

"I'm nervous..." Harry hiccuped, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"What's there to be nervous about? He's your godfather, not an outsider." Louis shrugged, not understanding Harry's nervousness.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. Harry... well, Harry is just afraid of being poor.

That’s probably the mentality anyway.

After getting off the car, Louis saw Sirius and Aunt Molly standing together, with his mother and sister Diana next to them. He waved at them, and his mother waved back, but her expression was not as cheerful as usual, and even sister Diana's face was no longer smiling. Louis didn't know why he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when they reached the side, Diana whispered, "Grandpa's health is not very good. He was even admitted to the hospital a few days ago..."

Louis only felt a bang and he staggered back two steps. Although he was a time traveler, the feelings they had together since childhood could not be faked at all. His grandfather's love for him was real and not diluted at all. Hearing the news that the old man was critically ill, he found it a little hard to accept.

"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?" Louis' eyes turned red. If anything happened to his grandfather, he... didn't dare to think about it.

"Don't worry, Grandpa is not in any serious trouble for now, and he is no longer in danger... I wanted to inform you, but I couldn't call you at Hogwarts. Just when I was about to ask Emerlis to pass on a message, Grandpa was no longer in danger. He said that you are a man doing great things, and don't let such a small matter disturb you. He repeatedly warned us not to call you back..." Diana said worriedly, "But the doctor said that the situation is not optimistic... Grandpa is too old, and his body functions have declined..."

"What did Chromie say?" Louis asked, looking up, "Hasn't Grandpa already accepted it..." As he spoke, he noticed that they were now at the station, with many people talking, so he said hello to Harry and the others, and got on the bus with his mother and Diana.

In the car, my mother whispered, "Even if we accept the inheritance, there is nothing we can do. Chromie said that even if the humans there reach the epic level, they cannot resist the natural aging of the body..."

Lewis was silent, he sighed and said, “Let’s go, go home and see grandpa first.”

Louis was in a bad mood all the way. Catherine sat beside him, holding his hands with both hands, silently encouraging him. Louis leaned his head on Catherine's shoulders, and his mind was full of going back to grab Chromie and ask him carefully.

After returning home, the first thing Louis did was rush to his grandfather's room.

Grandpa was sitting by the window looking at the scenery. Louis noticed that grandpa no longer had the vigor and vitality he once had. Instead, he looked extremely tired and looked like an ordinary old man who had been ill for a long time.

"Are you back?" This was the first thing his grandfather said when he saw him.

Louis had a lot to say, and he had been thinking about it for a long time on the road, but the thousands of words that came to his lips finally turned into just a "hmm".

"I'm glad you're back." Old Louis turned around and looked at his eldest grandson without speaking for a long time.

Louis walked to his grandfather's recliner, pulled over a chair and sat down, not knowing what to say for a long time.

"Look at how you look now. What's there to be sad about?" Old Louis was furious when he saw the appearance of his eldest grandson. He picked up the crutch beside the recliner and wanted to hit Louis twice, but he couldn't bear to do so. After a while, he put down the crutch in dissatisfaction and stretched out his old hand to stroke his eldest grandson's hair.

"Be open-minded. Birth, aging, illness and death are common. This is the law of nature." Old Louis was very open-minded. He looked at his well-behaved grandson and was very satisfied. His grandson inherited the excellent tradition of the Mountbatten family and now had a little status in the wizarding world. He had nothing to regret.

If there is one regret, it is that his son David died too early.

"You will live ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years." Louis couldn't hold back his tears, "You haven't even seen the birth of Catherine and I's child yet..."

"Silly boy, do you think I'm that shark?" Old Louis glanced at his grandson. "What? Ten thousand years old? A hundred thousand years old? This feudal thinking is not allowed in our family..."

"Grandpa, our family is the remnant of feudalism." Louis kindly reminded.

Old Louis: ...

I can't respond when you talk like that.

"Alright, alright, tell me, how can I be happy when you act like this as soon as you come back?" Old Louis glared at his grandson and said unhappily, "I just adjusted my mentality, and you ruined my good mood as soon as you came. Tell me, did you do this on purpose?"

"..." Lewis wondered whether I was still your grandson. He touched his nose and coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Okay, let me be quiet for a while," Old Louis began to chase people away, "Go, go cry to your mother if you want to. You are so grown up, but you are not behaving like that..."

Louis: …

"Okay, then I'll go find my mother, don't regret it?" Louis asked tentatively.

Old Louis waved his hands impatiently and told the man to go wherever he wanted. He could have lived for a few more months, but if his grandson continued to mess around for a few more days, he would have to live at least dozens of days less.

As soon as Louis walked out of his grandfather's room, he called Chromie. Chromie always responded to requests. The moment Louis called, he jumped out from the air, bringing out a pile of yellow sand.

This was not something Louis needed to worry about. It wasn't him who cleaned the house anyway, the servants would take care of it. He dragged Chromie to the side room and looked at her with burning eyes: "Chromie, I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully."

"Ah...?" Chromie asked in a silly way. She probably knew why Louis, who was always calm, was so anxious.

"If we can get the life essence of the Red Dragon Legion, can my grandfather still be saved?" Louis' voice was a little trembling - he was afraid that Chromie would shake his head. Chromie said "Oh" and spread his hands: "I thought it was something else... just this? If we can get the life essence of the Red Dragon Legion... your grandfather, a mortal, can't even say whether he can be saved - at least he can have eternal life."

Louis pounded the table excitedly, startling Chromie. "What are you doing? You're so startled... The life essence of the Red Dragon Legion is not easy to obtain... Don't count on Kelistrasza and Lilastrasza. They are just ordinary red dragons, not guardian dragons like Her Majesty Alexstrasza. They can't condense life essence for you... But they can definitely keep your grandfather alive. Kelistrasza has been keeping your grandfather alive all these days..."

"Let's go to Azeroth." Louis sighed: "I've accepted the job of raiding Grim Batol. Good food should be eaten early. My grandfather can't wait."

"Are you sure?" Chromie hesitated, looked at Louis and asked, "If you go with Catherine, even if you rescue Her Majesty Alexstrasza, you can only obtain two portions of the essence of the Red Dragon Legion..."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Louis thought that there would be more than 20 rewards for completing the task. He patted Chromie's young shoulder and said, "I'll go call Catherine. Let's set off now."

"That's fine..." Chromie nodded. "After all, the speed of time on both sides is different. If it were in Azeroth, a month would be equivalent to one day here."

Louis wanted to ask if it wasn't still, but stopped and asked, "Why is the flow rate different?"

"Of course it was the help of the bronze dragon. Are you a fool?" Chromie rolled his eyes at him. "This was specially approved by His Majesty Nozdormu. Otherwise, do you think you would be treated this way?"

"Thank His Majesty Nozdormu for me." Louis said, turned and walked out of the room. After a while, he came in with Catherine.

Seeing the two of them come in, Chromie didn't say much, just asked "Are you ready?"

"Well, I've already told mom and the others that I'll be out with Catherine for a day or two before returning home... let's get started." Louis nodded. He didn't dare tell his mother that he was going out on an adventure, let alone his grandfather. Otherwise, it would be unknown whether he could come back here.

Chromie snapped his fingers, and a portal covered with yellow sand appeared in front of them.

"Come in." Chromie said, "You two go in first, I still have to maintain the portal."

After Louis took two steps, he suddenly remembered a question, so he stopped and turned back to ask, "I have a question, where are you going to take us?"

"Of course it's Dalaran, what else?" Chromie asked with a cute face.

"The situation like what happened in front of the Qinglong Temple won't happen again, right? You suddenly disappear and leave us here?" Louis's expression was a little unfriendly. He remembered the incident in the Qinglong Temple.

Chromie laughed dryly and shook his hands repeatedly: "How could that be? How could that be? Don't worry... Here, this thing is for you. It is a token of the bronze dragon clan. Just give it to Cleostrasz... Here, you don't have to worry about the gold coins. Gold Galleons are interchangeable with the gold coins over there. They look almost the same."

“If you lie to me, I’ll eat a roasted whole dragon when I come back,” Louis threatened with a fierce look in his eyes.

Chromie waved his hands and said it was impossible, absolutely impossible. I am an honest man, how could I disappear again?
Louis looked at Chromie deeply, took Catherine's hand, and stepped into the yellow sand portal.

Chromie murmured softly, it definitely can't be disappearing again, it must be...

……

Compared to the suburbs of London, the sky and air in Dalaran are much better than there, especially the air. Even the most beautiful manor cannot cover up the pollution in the air, even in the magical world.

"The air is so fresh..." Catherine said softly.

Louis felt the same way. He looked around and saw that the two of them seemed to have come to a bedroom. He didn't know whose house it was - through the window, he could see the blue sky.

Looking more closely, the style seems to be the Magic Inn in Dalaran. Louis walked to the bookcase and picked up a book.

The cover reads "A tear-jerking romance novel..."

Well, it seems to be Marcus' story - but is there a legend about Marcus now? Louis doesn't know much about the history of Warcraft.

He threw the novel back onto the bookshelf as if he had received an electric shock. Catherine saw his action and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, this novel is a bit... "Louis coughed twice to hide his embarrassment: "Let's wait for a while. When Chromie comes, we will go downstairs to take a look. To be honest, I have never been to Dalaran, so I don't know what the situation is here, so Chromie still has to wait..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Catherine agreed with Louis' words. She picked and chose from the bookshelf, and after turning to a book called "Basic Theory and Research of Arcane", she found a chair and sat down to read it carefully.

Louis noticed the signature on the book - Kel'Thuzad.

Wow, the first thing he mentioned is a person’s name… No, it’s a celebrity…

Kel'Thuzad should now be a member of the six-member council of the Kirin Tor. He has not yet turned evil and become the lich in Naxxramas...so it is not surprising to see his works in Dalaran.

But now he should have started to study psychic arts, right? Louis didn't know much.

"Why hasn't Chromie come yet?" Louis glanced at the watch. It was now four o'clock in the afternoon. Chromie said that the time ratios on both sides were different. In that case, he should just wait a little longer.

……

Two hours later.

"What time is it? Can Chromie come? I'm a little hungry..." Louis muttered in a low voice. Catherine closed the book with a grim look on her face.

"I doubt it..." Catherine said coldly, "Chromie stood us up again!"
