Chapter 30: The Illusion Spell
In the afternoon, the Gryffindor common room was packed with students, all sitting on the couch and chatting.
The sofa seats in the lounge were limited, and there were still too many people, so Albert had no idea of staying in the common room, so he posted the class schedule of the first-year students on the bulletin board, put the camera and photos back in the dormitory, and went straight to the library on the fifth floor of the castle.
There were no other students in the library, and yes, not even Ravenclaw students would set foot in the library before the official start of the school year.
There was only Mrs. Irma Pins, the caretaker, who sat alone behind the counter and read quietly.
As Albert walked to the counter, Mrs. Pins looked up, as if surprised that someone would be coming to the library.
"Ma'am, excuse me. I'm looking for some books on charms, do you know which row of shelves they're on?" Albert asked softly.
Actually, Albert could have found it himself, but there were many books in the collection, which was time-consuming, laborious and unpleasant, and the quickest way to ask the librarian was to ask him directly.
Mrs. Pince glanced at Albert and pointed to a row of wooden bookshelves, "Section C, the fifth shelf." ”
Albert looked in the direction of the other man's finger, thanked him, and then walked towards the bookshelf in Section C, his gaze paused, and he paused for a moment on the rope leading to the forbidden area, and continued to walk inside. On the fifth shelf, there are quite a few books on spells.
Albert couldn't help but pause his fingers as he reached out and brushed the spine of his book, because two tasks actually popped up on his panel.
Reading Maniacs.
If you love to read, how can you miss the largest magical library in the whole of the UK?
After reading 100 1-inch thick books,
Reward: Master 3 random spells and upgrade them to level 3.
Currently: 0/100
Magical Forbidden Zone.
Hogwarts' forbidden section has a lot of secrets, so how can you miss it as a fan of magic?
Successfully convince five professors to allow you to borrow five books from the forbidden section.
Bonus skill level is increased by 1.
Currently: 0/5
In other words, both missions are sinkholes!
It's not easy to read a hundred books, and it's 1 inch thick, so this is to ask him to read a hundred brick books?
Smashing can kill people.
This task can't be completed in a while, and I can finish it in three years, thanks to Merlin's protection.
The second task is even worse, it is not easy to get a note from the professors to borrow notes from the forbidden area.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to obtain signed notes from each of the five professors.
In Albert's image, the easiest one is probably Gilderoy Lockhart.
However, the difficulty is high, the rewards are rich, and the skill level is increased by 1, which is much more powerful than skill points.
Before he could think about these tasks, Albert cleared out his distractions and pulled out a book of spells, which was called "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century".
He opened the catalogue and counted thirty-three spells, each detailing the inventor of the spell, how to use the spell correctly, and what significance it had been invented......
After reading the catalog, Albert lost interest in the book, and he did not find the illusion charm in the catalog.
The other spells were good, but they were useless for Albert right now, and it would take a lot of time and effort to learn them, or use a pool of stored experience.
Although there is still a lot of experience in the experience pool, Albert does not want to use it.
Tucking Eighteenth-Century Charms back onto the shelf, Albert pulled out a copy of Charms Achievement, a book about charms, in which Albert found the Illusion Charm.
Unfortunately, the book doesn't introduce how to cast the Illusion Spell, just an attempt to introduce some spells.
However, from the information provided above, Albert found a record of the Illusion Charm in the Nineteenth Century Charms.
This is undoubtedly good news.
Albert sat at his desk in the library with "Selected Nineteenth-Century Charms" in his hand, opened the book and read it.
The invention of the Transfiguration Charm was inspired by the chameleon, a spell that allows a person to blend into their surroundings to achieve invisibility.
Clever wizards use illusion spells, which are not easy to detect, but it is difficult to hide from others if they are lame, because the body cannot blend into the surroundings, which will make people feel inexplicably abrupt.
While Albert was concentrating on reading the Illusion Charm, he pulled his chair away. He looked up and saw that it was the Ravenclaw girl he had met in the Great Hall in the morning.
As if sensing Albert's gaze, the other party also looked up, nodded slightly at Albert, and returned his attention to the book.
"Ravenclaw. Albert muttered under his breath and continued to read the precautions of the Illusion Charm, preparing to find a place to practice.
Next, all that needs to be done is to find the solution to the Illusion Charm.
Although the Illusion Spell doesn't last too long, if you don't know how to undo it, you may have to wait for the spell's effect to disappear before it can manifest automatically, which is not a good idea.
There is no record of the spell at the end, but Albert found the Manifestation Charm in Spell Achievement.
Albert took "Selected Charms of the Nineteenth Century", went to Mrs. Pince to borrow the book, and picked up a stone outside the castle as a target for practice, so he was naturally not stupid enough to use the spell he had not mastered on himself.
Just as Albert was pondering where to practice spells, the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan appeared in the foyer panting.
"Where did you go at noon?" Albert asked, looking at the three of them.
"Fifth floor, mirror. George was out of breath and couldn't even speak.
"Where does that passage lead?" Albert asked.
"Outside the castle, we go to the village of Hogsmeade. Fred's face was filled with a smile of excitement, and on their first day at Hogwarts, they had discovered a secret passage leading to the outside of the school.
Albert raised an eyebrow and said, "So...... You've been in Hogsmeade for a few hours before you come back?"
"No, that secret passage is long, and we walked for at least 1 hour. ”
"You ...... That's amazing!" Albert barely managed to squeeze out this sentence, and if it was an hour's walk, it would be an ordeal for him.
After all, as a salted fish, you can sit on the sofa and read a book, why do you have to work hard to drill into the secret passage, and it takes two hours to come and go.
Why is this so painful?
"This is my result. Albert lifted the book in his hand and said, "I borrowed it from the library." ”
"You've found that spell. Fred realized what Albert was referring to.
"Uh, I found it. Albert admired Fred's wit, "However, it's a bit difficult to master this spell, and if you want to learn it, you'll have to be a little prepared." ”
