Chapter 119: Busy
"The 'Living Point Map' doesn't show the Chamber of Secrets, what's going on?" Lockhart said slowly, looking at Darren. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing Lockhart's question, Darren was stunned, but quickly answered, because he had already prepared for this question, "What? It doesn't show the Chamber of Secrets? No, when I got the map, I thought all the structures of Hogwarts were on it, and Professor Flitwick said the same." ”
"Oh, haven't you looked at the secret rooms on the map?"
"Oh, that, I've only, only checked a few secret passages, not much into them, I think, that's against the school rules, and Hogwarts doesn't teach architecture, I can't even read the pictures on it. ”
"I see, then you are a little too unintelligent, you only listen to others, and believe what you believe without confirming it yourself, it is easy to put yourself in a dangerous situation, just like the Chamber of Secrets, if Professor Dumbledore hadn't sent the phoenix, I'm afraid you and Harry would have both," Lockhart's lips pursed, "and we're going to die there." ”
"Yes, I was too careless, but thankfully Professor Dumbledore. Darren followed Lockhart and said, and then, suddenly, he remembered something, "You said you weren't a professor just now, this is?"
Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Lockhart's face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "I told Professor Dumbledore that this adventure at Hogwarts has made me rediscover my passion for adventure, and although I like my current job, the life of adventure is more suitable for me, so I submitted my resignation to the professor, and he agreed, unfortunately, I'm afraid you will have a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor next year, I think Professor Dumbledore will definitely be able to find the right person." ”
"That's a pity, I'll read your book carefully, it's an interesting textbook, but the spells in it are too hidden to be easy to find. ”
"Haha, spells aren't the most important thing for me in this course, it's how to use it, isn't it?"
"Yes, I'll remember, Professor. ”
Hearing Darren's title, the expression on Lockhart's face was satisfied, "Okay, I should leave too, I thought you would leave the school together, but I didn't expect you to stay at school for the holidays, in that case, I wish you a happy holiday at Hogwarts." ”
"Thank you, Professor, and by the way, where are you going to travel after leaving Hogwarts?"
"I haven't thought about this yet, maybe go around the European continent, who ......knows" Suddenly, Lockhart's expression froze, and a word was squeezed out from between his teeth, "Abinia, Abbie," Immediately after, Lockhart's expression returned to what it was just now, and he stopped talking, but his brows furrowed.
Darren asked softly, "Professor, what did you just say?"
"No, nothing, just something all of a sudden, it's been resolved, and now it's fine. Lockhart's face was once again with a satisfied smile, "Goodbye, then, Mr. Sean." ”
By this time, the train had begun to move slowly, and Lockhart jumped lightly, jumped on the door of the train, and walked in.
Darren stood on the platform and watched as the Hogwarts Express train sprayed large puffs of steam and disappeared into the mountains.
As the train left his sight, Darren felt a large hand on his shoulder, thick, heavy, but warm, "Alright, it's time for us to go back, you still have something to pack, and you're welcome to stay at Hogwarts, Darren." ”
Hagrid, the big guy always makes people feel dependent......
Another long vacation began, and just like last time, Darren set up the same tent next to Hagrid's hut, and spent all his time practicing spells except for his daily patrols of the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, this time focusing on how to improve the combat effectiveness of spells.
I have to say that the confrontational exam organized by Lockhart at the end gave Darren a lot of inspiration, especially the confrontation between Lockhart and Snape, although it was very short, but it also made Darren see what adult wizard-level battles look like, compared to them, his own level is still far behind!
But the gap between them is not something that can only be made up with age, although Darren doesn't know how to increase the rate of growth of his magic, but at least he can increase his control over his magic and the level of casting spells, in that case, he thinks that with the appropriate way, he can fight against adult wizards in a short period of time.
After patrolling the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid every day, Darren focused on understanding the fluctuations of his own magic power in order to better control his magic power, so as to effectively exert the power of the spell, and at the same time continuously improve the speed of releasing spells, and began to expand the use of silent spells, from a few spells that he had mastered in the past, to more spells, and the ultimate goal was to be able to silently repeat all the spells he had learned.
In addition to practicing spells, he also had to practice shooting and modify the pistol, and since Darren was now able to use Transfiguration for precise operations, he set out to turn the Glock 17 at hand into a Glock 18, which in short, made the semi-automatic shooting pistol have the function of bursting and possessing a strong suppression ability.
In addition, Darren also began to prepare for the development of new weapons, after all, when facing the basilisk, the firepower of the pistol was too weak, and it did not play a role from beginning to end, Darren felt that if he wanted to deal with a monster like the basilisk, even if there was Glock 18 at that time, I am afraid it would not be too useful, what he needed was a grenade!
However, Darren didn't have the grenade on hand, and he didn't think he could get it at Hogwarts, after all, it was a Muggle weapon, so at first, he saw if he could use the twins' fireworks to make some of it himself, but soon, he was disappointed, because although the effect of the fireworks was mysterious enough, there was a fatal flaw, that is, the lack of detonation.
The detonation velocity is too low so that the pyrotechnics can not produce a strong detonation wave to kill the target, and it also affects the speed of the fragments, making the explosion effect extremely poor, which is also the reason why the effect of explosive weapons is very poor before the invention of modern explosives, such as the famous Napoleonic twelve-pounder gun, although there are also flowering shells, that is, grenades filled with gunpowder inside, but can only produce a small number of shrapnel, or even one and a half, far from the effect of the fire in the drama, people turn over on their backs.
According to Darren's estimate, if you want to produce effective lethality, I am afraid that you will have to make a few catties, or even a dozen catties, like the legendary "ten thousand enemies", such a heavy thing, not to mention whether Darren can throw it, even if it can, it mainly relies on combustion to produce killing, and it is better to get a bottle of gasoline......
So, let's go to ordinary people and find a way, fortunately, except for a very few models of grenades, the vast majority of grenades still rely on mechanical impact ignition, just like pistols, which should not be interfered with by magic.
