Chapter 537: Tracking and Countermeasures
The reward for the quest in the "Forbidden Zone" is +1 for a skill, which means that the higher the level of the skill, the more valuable the reward will be.
Currently, the highest level of Albert's skills is the level 5 Wizard Bloodline. The second highest level is level 4 Occlumency, and the rest of the skills are only level 3, 2, or 1.
After thinking about it for three seconds, Albert finally received the reward for the task, and raised the wizard's bloodline to level six, although the improvement of the bloodline did not mean much to his own strength, but Albert still upgraded his skills.
Perhaps, the wizard bloodline can be passed on to their offspring?
Of course, it also has to do with Albert's desire to see where the level limit of the skill is!
The answer is...... Level six.
Well, the wizard bloodline on the skill panel has directly become max.
To be honest, the experience required to upgrade the panel skills is actually quite pitiful.
The further you go, the higher the experience required, and the harder it is to gain experience using skills.
It only takes 100 XP to reach Level 1, 2000 XP to reach Level 2, 10000 XP to Level 3, 50000 XP to Level 4, and 200,000 XP to Level 5.
As for level 6, Albert didn't know, he only knew that he had 65,300 experience points in his experience pool, which was enough to directly upgrade a certain skill to level 4, but that was it.
Even in the near future, it is destined to be unlikely to master too many third-level skills.
Albert drew his wand and cast an obstacle spell on the battle doll in front of him, and the doll flew out as if it had been hit by a truck, hitting the wall far away with a loud bang.
"The spell is more powerful. ”
The wizard bloodline has been upgraded to the full level, and the overall effect is still very good.
If there is a gratifying thing, it is probably that the threshold for learning silent spells and wandless spells has become lower.
There's a reason why pure-blood wizards seek magical power, and those with stronger magical power will learn most of the spells more easily than others under the same circumstances.
"Next, there's the basilisk problem. Albert put away his wand and began to think about how he could use the Basilisk event to gain another wave of experience.
Basilisk is still something that Albert is more afraid of.
He wanted to use the Basilisk event to get another special contribution award. Then, with the help of next year's Black incident, we will completely complete the "three things".
Among the many panel quests, "Three Things" is probably the most valuable of all, "Gain a specific level 3 skill." ”
This means that Albert can learn to make the Philosopher's Stone on his own, or skip the complicated process and quickly master the transformation of the Animagus, or even master the super dangerous and unstable spell of the Hour Reversal Charm, and the creation of the Time Turner will not have to worry about it.
While Albert did not know when Ginny Weasley would open the Chamber of Secrets to contact the basilisk, the first attack was on Halloween.
If you want to know Ginny Weasley's whereabouts, it's actually very simple, that is, through the live map, but it is very troublesome to find people through the live map.
He intended to use the Tracking Charm, the Tracking Charm, and the Human Charm to create a simple map dedicated to tracking Ginny Weasley's location.
It's just that Albert won't use the Shadow Curse yet.
After thinking about it again, Albert planned to ask Professor Flitwick for this spell, the relationship between the two sides was not bad, the possibility of the other party teaching him was quite high, and he could always get some benefits by building a good relationship with the professors.
Albert went straight to Professor Flitwick's office, and on the way, he happened to meet Lockhart, who was "gifted" out of the house by Professor Charm.
"Good evening, Professor Lockhart. Albert greeted Lockhart with a smile.
"Good evening, Mr. Anderson. Do you have something to do with Professor Flitwick now, maybe I can help you out!"
However, as soon as Lockhart spoke, he began to regret why he had to talk too much.
"That's right, the last time I was in the United States, I saw a spell called the Human Charm in the spellbook of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I wanted to ask Professor Flitwick for advice. ”
"Humans?" Lockhart said, after a moment of thought, "I'm sorry, I don't have much research on humans, and Professor Flitwick is in the office, maybe he can answer your questions." ”
With that, Lockhart walked away quickly.
Looking at the back of Lockhart's departure, Albert was a little disappointed, and originally thought that the other party would pop out a sentence like "I need to teach you".
After Lockhart left, Albert turned and walked to the Charms office, raising his hand and knocking on the door.
The door soon opened, and Professor Flitwick seemed relieved to see that it was Albert.
"Mr. Anderson, do you have anything to do with me?" the Charms professor smiled and invited Albert into the room.
"That's ......"
Albert made up a simple story about how he went to the United States during the summer vacation and found a human sign in an American magic textbook, so he came to ask Professor Flitwick about the human sign charm.
"Charms textbooks at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States?" Professor Flitwick seemed interested in the charms textbooks in the United States.
"The Charms textbook at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is called Chadwick's Magic. Albert explains, "It's a little different from the Standard Spell that we're learning now. ”
"I don't know if I can get it in China, if not, I'm afraid I can only go through other channels. Professor Flitwick muttered.
"Professor Flitwick, if you need one, I've got one there. ”
"That's amazing, about a week. Oh, I almost forgot, the Shadow Charm!" Professor Flitwick pulled out a piece of parchment, drew a simple map on it, and showed Albert how to cast the Shadow Charm.
After the spell was cast, there were more footprints on the parchment with the names of the two men.
"This is the Shadow Curse. "This spell is often used in conjunction with a map, where the location of all the people in the map area is displayed on the map as ink dots, and it changes as each person's position moves. ”
"The greater the scope of the mantra, the greater the number of people manifested, and the higher the requirements for the spell. ”
After Professor Flitwick had taught Albert the spells and cane swing of the Shadow Charm, he let Albert try it himself, which was very difficult and required a lot of thought to learn.
However, Professor Flitwick was shocked to find that Albert had not taken much time to master the Shadow Charm.
"I don't know what you're trying to do, but I hope you don't mess around with other people's information, and I don't think you will. Professor Flitwick reminded.
"I just want to borrow this spell to lock my cat. Albert casually explained, "His name is Tom, and he's just a very ordinary Muggle pet cat, not very smart. Last time, after it ran out of my dorm room, it almost ran away, and I was so scared that I don't even dare bring it to school now. If I can master this spell, I will be able to find Tom's location in the first place. ”
Professor Flitwick looked at Albert and reminded, "If you want to lock a cat alone, I'm afraid you'll need to practice spells harder to achieve precise control, are there any other problems?"
"Is there a counter-spell to the Shadow Charm?" Albert asked after a moment's thought, "Is there any way to block out the Shadow Curse?"
"This ......," Professor Flitwick said, "should be fine with a shielding charm, a powerful enough shield to disguise the existence of witches and wizards and make them untraceable." ”
Professor Flitwick personally demonstrated to Albert how to use the Blocking Charm to block out the Shadow Charm, and after Professor Flitwick used the Blocking Charm on himself, only Albert's footnotes were left on the map.
Albert was silent, he had tried the Shielding Charm but failed. Now he tried again, looking at the footprints on the map, and still failed.
"Your shielding spell isn't strong enough. Professor Flitwick explained.
"Is it involved in the advanced use of the masking charm?" Albert couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Professor Flitwick, can you teach me the advanced use of the masking charm." ”
"You want to learn the advanced use of the Masking Charm?" Professor Flitwick said with a slight frown.
"I've heard that the Ministry of Magic uses traces on students. ”
"You want to block the traces?" Professor Flitwick looked at Albert in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Even a strong shielding spell may not be able to shield the traces." ”
"Why?"
Albert couldn't help but ask his doubts.
"Trace is a kind of contract magic that has been modified from various spells such as tracking spells, human trace spells, and tracking spells, and it is not so easy to block. Professor Flitwick recalled, "The Ministry of Magic had thought about this when it designed the spell. Originally, the prototype of the Tracer was designed to be used to monitor certain wizards, to know where they were and what spells they were using at any time. ”
"However, there are also mistakes and miscalculations. ”
"It's normal, because the traces need to be used with specialized magic items. "But the students weren't criminals, nor were they suspects, so the Ministry of Magic later changed to a contract to monitor an area around the students for anyone using magic." ”
"Magic contracts are the kind of things you can find loopholes to bypass, but it's hard to block or crack. ”
In the end, Albert still got his wish and asked Professor Flitwick to teach him how to master the advanced use of the masking charm, but the advanced use of the spell is not something that can be mastered in a moment, as a way to teach Albert how to master the advanced use of the masking charm, Professor Flitwick asked Albert to learn the advanced use of the masking charm, and then he needs to publish a relevant paper on the masking charm in "Charm Innovation".
