Chapter 126
Sniffing didn't feel good, but it was too late, and when it opened its eyes again, it had already been grabbed by a wizard and hung upside down in the air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In less than a few seconds, Ginny and Luna stood behind Xie An, only to see Xie An retreating very carefully, and then for a moment, Xie An seemed to have something more in his hand. Sniff had already run into Xie An's arms.
"How did you do that?" asked Harley Black curiously as she watched in surprise as she hung her sniff upside down and poured a gold gallon out of its body.
"The table where the Golden Galleon was put was a portkey, a very special portkey. As soon as something touches that table, it teleports directly to the location in front of me. Xie An gestured to the air in front of him, sniffing that just appeared out of thin air and was directly grabbed by Xie An. It turned out that Xie was pretending to release magic on gold coins, but in fact, the real trap was the inconspicuous table. Even if he has any precautions in this way, he will only think of ways to solve the golden gallons, instead of caring about the table where the golden galleons are placed. No matter how cunning a magical creature is, it can't compare to a wizard.
After getting the golden galleons that had passed, the five of them walked along the corridor for a few minutes and walked out of the underground passage, although it was only less than half a day, but it was still very uncomfortable to stay in such a dark underground. After coming out, even the somewhat eerie Forbidden Forest looked a lot cuter. Luna and Ginny stretched and breathed in the air on the ground, feeling much better.
After walking for a few more minutes, it was already the sixth level, Xie An's group was the first to arrive, and after waiting for a while, several groups came one after another, among which the second team came was a team led by a fourth-year student that Xie An didn't know, including Rolf Scamander, Luna knew the third-year student, he was a grandchild of the Scamander family, and he had only recently transferred to Hogwarts School. The twins mentioned this well-known student.
The task of the sixth level seems to be a little simpler, which is to obtain the special venom of the Leopard. Native to East Africa, this large, fast-moving creature is not a leopard, but an even more terrifying magical creature. It can spit out a deadly poisonous mist, similar to the magical creatures of the Far East, but this terrifying enchanted leopard has been recorded to have harmed entire villages, causing them terrible diseases. Adult leopards are easy to identify, lacking the fur characteristic of felines, instead possessing hedgehog-like spikes that are highly venomous and pose a great threat to wizards.
It must have taken a lot of effort for Hogwarts School to catch such a poisonous leopard, and legend has it that it took the orderly cooperation of nearly 100 excellent wizards to successfully catch this creature.
"Is that okay? I want to take a picture of this leopard. Colin, who had a one-sided relationship but had no impression at all, also passed the front mechanism and came to the sixth level with his classmates. He asks a Ravenclaw prefect to take a picture of the leopard.
"Of course, no. The leopard is very dangerous, and if you read the instructions carefully, you should understand that any abrupt behavior can be perceived as hostile by the creature, which can be fatal, unlike the punishment given by the teacher in class. The prefect denied Colin's request.
"I saw the school doctor right next to me, and the one next to her, from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries?" asked Rolf Scamander.
"Well, that's the doctor prepared by the school to ensure everyone's safety, and if any of you go wrong for a while, we'll have a hard time. Although our leopard is the mildest of the three, it is a young and elegant lady. The prefect said with some excitement. It seems that there are not a few wizards who love magical creatures as much as Hagrid, and the poisonous leopard looks hideous when it becomes an adult, and such an appearance must be a little scary for ordinary wizards.
"So what do we need to do? Defeat this panther directly?" asked Ginny Weasley. Ginny was originally a very shy child, but today she was very active.
The prefect shook his head, "Your abilities are still far from it, and it will take nearly a hundred adult wizards to defeat the Cyst Poison Leopard. Your task today is very simple, which is to feed and collect some toxins from the cystic leopard by the way. This is a mission for your own safety, and the school wants you to gain experience without being in mortal danger. ”
After waiting for more than an hour, all five teams arrived. Xie An found that this time there were basically five people, and only one group was four. It seems that passing the first few levels means that there is at least one very powerful wizard in this group.
Everyone wants to be the protagonist of the story, and like Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, who has been easily killed, no one thinks that he will die early. But the reality is as we see it now, and many people have passed the test and will eventually reach the finish line.
Xie An never felt that he was special, nor did he feel that he was different from other wizards. He came to this wizarding England from that world with a heavy burden about the end of the world. At first, every night was torment, until Shayne learned the powerful Occlumency technique from the wizard's spell. Xie An couldn't learn the Dementor Mind because he couldn't bear the powerful fluctuations that came with the Dementor Mind and the Occlumency Technique at the same time. Xie An also couldn't cast the Patronus spell either, as his happy memories were far from the depth of the picture of hell.
Happiness and sorrow are sometimes not separate. When a wizard is hungry, he tastes something he never notices. Maybe a little happiness is like a white cloud outside the window in the gloomy life. The white clouds are too far away, the sky is too blue, too far away, and they are always not so real. Not strong enough, so it can't summon a Patronus.
But the power of the desperate apocalypse is strong enough to easily transform into a terrifying weapon that kills the Dementors that the Patronus can't possibly kill. It is much easier to destroy than to protect and conquer.
Until now, there has been no record of the leopard being tamed. This creature is now endangered. Its toxins are very valuable and can be formulated and powerful magic potions. Some dark magic also uses its cyst poison, so there are many wizards who use various methods to hunt this terrible magical creature, except for wizards like Hagrid who really like it, wizards who are busy making a living, and will not care about the number of a deadly magical creature called the cyst panther.
The collection went smoothly, although there was a little hiccup in the middle, but several prefects handled it very well, and did not provoke the pouch leopard, allowing a group of Hogwarts wizards to get close to the panther.
Xie An had been blending in with the crowd, and he could feel that the leopard was wary of him. Perhaps out of animal instinct, the Leopard could feel the tidal surge of magic around Xie An. Xie An was still in poor condition, and in order to end this training session quickly, he had to make several shots.
The excited students reluctantly left the level, as if this poisonous leopard was not dangerous at all. Sheaan heard a Slytherin whispering something about Draco Malfoy's fifth level, and it seemed like he had been eliminated. Some of the Slytherins seemed gloating, others were surprised.
Hermione and Draco Malfoy probably didn't make it to Sheaan's area, otherwise the two of them would have made it to this level. Hermione Granger is well-informed, and there are no particularly fierce battles in the first few levels, as long as Hermione plays normally, it is easy to pass. As for Draco Malfoy, Shayne does not hold Gryffindor's prejudices, although Severus Snape's extremely unfair treatment has brought a lot of hostility to Draco Malfoy, in fact, Draco Malfoy's ability is also good, but he is used to being arrogant, and when he encounters a more arrogant person like Shayne, the two sides will inevitably compete with each other.
Draco Malfoy had high hopes from Lucius Malfoy from an early age, and he went through a rigorous wizarding pre-school education and was much ahead of the start. Harry Potter can't compare to that.
However, Dumbledore does not need another Dumbledore to do research, he does not need Harry Potter to be the second wizard of Wizengamot like himself, he needs Harry to make sacrifices, from another point of view, it is enough for Harry Potter to master the magic that should be mastered, and some other magic does not seem to be so important to Harry Potter.
After the sixth level, the next seventh level is more difficult and more demanding for the team. Level 7 allows for multiple attempts, but requires each wizard to be able to do his or her job, and if one of the wizards fails to do his or her job, it will cause big problems for the team, much like the so-called shortcomings. Ron and Luna were slightly behind, and Ginny and Shayne helped them take on some of the tasks, and the seventh level was successfully passed.
Level 8 is another underground level, this time in what appears to be Severus Snape's favorite dungeon, where wizards must configure specific potions to make their way through the blockade. Xie An has experience in this area, but he is not a master. In order to study the magic circle in the six-page book, he consulted Hermione about Potions. But he didn't know enough about the common sense of potions. Fortunately, Halle Black is also an honor student, and when she was in the Nordic magic school, she was very good at it, like many honor students.
Ginny and Luna protect Harley Black from strange goblins, while Shayn and Ron are responsible for finding the materials they need from the various cells hidden in the dungeon.
The contents of these cells are unknown, and various outcomes may occur when opened. Some are needed medicines, some are actually aggressive magical creatures, and some are empty. Guess can only be made from the puzzles on the outside of the cell.
"The left of me is not what you need, and the right of my left is not what you need.... Merlin's God, what the hell is this, what is it called waving his wand in turn, seeing the direction of the constellations, I have no clue at all, do you have it, Andrew?"
These puzzles soften the description of potions' properties, simple logical reasoning, and a clever anti-reading magic that wizards can't understand the language they see. Although these characters are all recognized, the words that match together are as incomprehensible as passwords. This spell is somewhat similar to the Ministry of Magic's curse prohibiting powerful magic from being recognized, but much simpler.
Shea was also unclear about the properties of some of the materials, but Harley Black knew a lot about them, so Shea and Ron had to try them out in the dungeon passage while confirming with Halle Black what they needed. It was delayed for a long time, and the dungeon didn't know what it was like, so the time could only be determined by Xie An's easy disk.
Dumbledore could go back in time, through a time turner, so he had a very special watch. The watch was able to determine time through constellation coordinates, something almost eternal that kept Dumbledore from getting lost in time travel.
After exhausting the night's efforts, Shayne and Ron finally helped Hallie Black gather enough materials. Some strange goblins in the middle are constantly harassing, making Ginny and Luna a little tired.
"Once this potion starts, you can't stop, or it will fail. Don't let goblins come near here. Harley stared at the crucible on the table, stirring gently. Most wizards have adopted self-agitating crucibles, which has to be said to be an improvement. But some traditional wizards still insist on manual operation, arguing that the automatic crucible, despite having some strong advantages in the number of agitations, is not flexible enough. Maybe a clockwise stirring perpendicular to the Earth's axis will make some extremely responsible potions more likely to succeed, or maybe one day on a whim, stirring half a turn at a time will create a surprising effect. That's where traditional wizards stick to it.
Therefore, in addition to the precise and correct handling of medicinal materials, how to configure potions, if the appropriate magic power and angle are used in the process of reconfiguration, is the difference between a master potions master and an apprentice.
Some potions cannot be interrupted, wizards must constantly input mana, and some potions cannot touch specific mana, which is especially important in the configuration of Fulixir. Legend has it that specific magic fluctuations will interrupt the effect of the Elixir, and it will have no effect if the wizard takes it. There is also the water of life and death, this powerful hypnotic pill cannot be configured at a certain time of the day, otherwise it will also lead to the effectiveness of the potion.
"How much time will it take to complete?" Xie An also asked a little tiredly. Due to the abnormality of his state, Xie An could not mobilize more than half of the total mana, and most of his energy at this time was spent on controlling the surging tide mana.
"It takes at least four or five hours, and this potion is a very special seal-dissolving potion that can help wizards pass through some enchantments. I've only heard of this magical potion, and I've heard of people who can hide themselves and enter our school, oh, not Hogwarts, it's my old school. Halle Black explains.
"You mean this potion can pass through enchantments, and Hogwarts special enchantments are fine, right?" asked Ginny curiously.
"I think it's okay, you see the fragments of this statue, it should correspond to the items in the enchantment, and I guess this enchantment is probably a special modified recipe for potions through the enchantment of Hogwarts schools. Hallie Black explained as she expertly grinded squid bones into powder.
Xie An frowned, why did he have such a recipe, this is to remind the students that the enchantment at Hogwarts School is not actually completely safe, or is there another purpose? )
