Chapter 1206: Witch Agent Team (5)
"I'll do it anyway. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Imogen is not the only one who is frightened of Madison's recklessness, the other is the same reckless existence Joanna that Imoking alludes to.
In fact, it is her character, not her guts, that the girl is brash about.
She doesn't have Madison's bold style of moving faster than thinking in an unfamiliar environment, and she is still slightly inferior to Madison.
But.. Her movements are still very neat.
In the next sentence, Joanna had already rushed to the wall, and Imokin, Madison and the others only saw what seemed to be a black shadow blowing through them, and Joanna's whole person had melted into the wall.
Like a stone entering the water, the walls are slightly dented, and finally they can't bear Joanna's weight, "Pounce!" A voice gently accepted her in.
Sure enough, it was a phantom wall.
Madison had also been to the platform nine and three-quarters, not to mention Imogen and the others, who could tell at a glance that it was exactly the same as the platform.
"So you little ones are suspicious." The old wizard in the portrait spoke again, "The place where you shouldn't be suspicious is starting to waste time, if I want to harm you... Well, I shut up. ”
Seeing Madison raise his wand again, the wizard old man said decisively.
But after thinking about it, he added, "On the other side of the wall is the sealing room, one of the places where Congress stores its privy information, and there are no portraits there, and you will not be guided by me when you pass." ”
"I'll tell you the route in advance, go in and keep moving forward, turn left at a distance of three meters, turn right after three meters, turn left again after two meters, and then about five meters away, which is the exit of the storage room."
"After you get out of there, you'll see me in the nearest portrait, remember the route I said, and if there's anything in your way, just close your eyes and bump into it."
"There's no need to be afraid, the pantry is full of tables and parchment rolls, nothing dangerous."
"It's like a fall."
"The premise is that it doesn't actually hit the wall." Although the group of witches below are also wizards, they have not experienced the seven years of compulsory education at Hogwarts after all, and when they heard the old wizard say it so easily, Imogen couldn't help but whisper.
But the old man apparently didn't think it would be difficult to get through several nine and three-quarters platforms in a row, and quickly disappeared into the portrait after saying that, apparently going to the other portrait he had mentioned earlier, which was the closest to the sealing room.
The remaining witches looked at each other.
However, Joanna still took a good start, and without hesitating for a few seconds, Imogen planned to continue to follow Joanna's footsteps and rush into the wall.
But just as she was about to start, she suddenly saw that Madison's wand had not been lowered.
"The danger has been lifted." Imokin said.
Undeniably, Madison nodded, but the wand in his hand still did not let go.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Sighing helplessly, Imogen pointed to Madison's wand.
"You don't really think I'm going to blow it up, do you?" Madison shrugged, "Do you think I'm like that?" ”
Imogen choked on the spot, not knowing for a moment how to answer.
Seeing this, Madison shook his head, then flattened his wand.
"The fog is dispelled."
A reddish-brown glow spewed down her wand with a dazzling glow, like a beautiful rainbow over the forest after the rain, with a fantastical tinge.
As this reddish-brown sheen sprayed onto the walls, a hole was immediately eroded into the middle of the wall.
It's like two different colors of liquid convection, the former scouring out the latter, mercilessly driving them away from their original territory.
It didn't take long for Imogen to see the use of the magic, for as the hole grew larger and larger, she soon saw Joanna standing on the other side of the hole, who seemed to be a little confused.
Madison banished the secret magic from the walls.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to blow it up." Madison shrugged, "It's not really dispelling the fog either. ”
Imogen finally realizes that she misunderstood Madison, but apparently there is little point in discussing it now, instead she is more interested in the magic Madison used.
"What kind of spell is this?" Imogen asked curiously.
Wizards don't have a strong sense of secrecy, not that they don't, but for wizards, explaining spells is not like martial arts abilities or some other move, once they are said to be cracked by the enemy, or even countered.
A spell is a spell, and the effect that a spell can do is an effect.
Magic is not so easy to learn, even if someone teaches it by hand, maybe a simple magic sentence needs to be learned several times before it can be properly effective.
"The fog is dispelled." Madison shrugged his shoulders again and explained, "I don't know if the magic used to expel illusions or anything else is useful, but most of the illusions that are fixed will work anyway. ”
After thinking about it, she added, "Don't ask me why I called the fog to dispel, I don't know, that's what is written in the spell book." ”
But the expression on Imogin's face seemed more interested.
"Spell books." She touched her chin, as if she was going to ask what the spell book was, but it was clear that if she continued to ask like this, it would involve something that was not convenient for others to tell.
As a shopping mall veteran, Imogen naturally knows how to advance and retreat.
But the question seemed nothing unspeakable to Madison, who seemed unaware of Imokin's struggles, and explained, "A damn fellow taught me that he had left me a whole bunch of books and then disappeared for years, even once. ”
Faced with Madison's full of resentment, Imogen could only spread his hands.
Well, it should be said that witches are all women, even the most powerful witches can't avoid it.
Imogen wasn't interested in what the man had to do with Madison, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "You know how we wizards communicate, because magic isn't so easy to learn, and when you have new magic, you can always get a lot of different magic in the hands of others. ”
"Most of the well-known spells are given away, such as apparitions, door opening spells, etc."
"Of course, you have to learn on your own. After you get out of here, do you want to change some? ”
Madison furrowed her eyebrows, she didn't expect this kind of communication between these free man wizards, but she didn't lack magic to work with.
As Madison himself complained, Yi Huan left her with a large pile of magic books before leaving.
At that time, Yi Huan took advantage of the chaos and packed almost the entire Hogwarts library books away, and he didn't care about any forbidden areas, as long as the books he saw, they were all packed up by him.
Hogwarts has a very large collection of books, even larger than some of the oldest pure-blood nobles, as there are few records of Hogwarts being breached due to its strong defenses.
There are some rare books in the library.
And with its sheer number, I'm afraid that even Dumbledore hasn't read these books, and of course, this has something to do with the fact that Dumbledore doesn't like to specialize in magic that much.
Dumbledore is powerful, but that doesn't mean he's a scholar or a nerd, but Hogwarts does have a lot of books.
It is for this reason that Madison was able to learn a lot of strange magic.
For example, spells used to expel illusions.
Otherwise, if you want to buy such a spell book at the Blotted Bookstore, it would be more realistic to wait for Diagon Alley to spawn an NPC that specializes in precious magical items.
After Yi Huan left, Madison ran to Diagon Alley from time to time, one because of the magic materials, buying consumables for those little trolls from the witch school to learn potions, their wands, and so on.
On the other hand, it is because the spells in the wizarding world are also updated frequently, and there are many student books missing from the books that Yi Huan gave her at the beginning.
--Every Hogwarts student buys their own textbook before entering the school, and naturally there is no more copy in the school library.
Perhaps there was such a tradition a long time ago, because at that time the Muggle world had not yet entered the modern era, it was very chaotic, it was poor, and many wizards were found in orphanages, they were orphans, and naturally they could not afford to buy a new book.
At that time, there were very few merchants in Diagon Alley, and even if Hogwarts had the support of the school board of pure-blood nobles, it was also tight at that time, and it was impossible to buy supplies for students every time, so they lent textbooks from generation to generation.
Even a wand.
But after all, book wands and everything are subject to wear and tear, and because knowledge is updated just as quickly, even the history of magic will add new content over time, and as the books are less damaged and the state of the Muggle world is getting better and better, this situation is gradually canceled.
By now, the only category of books that is missing from the Hogwarts library is probably the annual student's textbook, and this foundation is often the most important.
Even if there are occasional students who leave one or two books in the library, and they don't even find them until they graduate, they are still a minority.
It is definitely not possible to count on this little witch to gather books, although the number of witches in the witch school is small, but there are also dozens of large families.
Madison often takes Zoe to Diagon Alley, and it is for this reason that she does not charge a purchasing fee.
But when it comes to the lack of magic spells, Madison really doesn't lack them.
In such a long time, she had already collected all the basic lessons from the first to seventh years of Hogwarts, including the advanced potions course that could only be joined after the exam, and when the last piece of the puzzle was taken, she could become the person with the most well-stocked book in almost the entire British and American wizarding world.
Of course, the direct descendants of Merlin in New York do not count, and their books are difficult to leak out.
Granger, the jack-of-all-trades, or the new Minister of Magic, is so directed at Madison for reasons why he packed up and emptied the entire Hogwarts library in the first place.
In the eyes of a scholar, even if he dies 10,000 times, it is completely irreparable.
Madison, who didn't feel like he could get anything of value out of the hands of these wizards who didn't even dare to walk around Diagon Alley openly and had an equally tight life, didn't know how to respond to Imogin.
But as an executive, Imojin still has the ability to read words and feelings, so he didn't continue to say anything at the moment, smiled and walked towards the hole.
Sure enough, without the wall as an illusion, their hearts were immediately free of burden.
The witches followed the hole into another dimension, and with the old man as a guide, they immediately jumped out of the endless loop of the corridor.
Surveying their surroundings, the witches found that even if they had a new way out, they still didn't have much discernment.
All around are gray-white stone brick walls, and the endless walls have no top in sight, as if they reach the sky, as if even the sky is obscured by them.
The witches felt as if they had entered some kind of absurd dream, for only in the most absurd dreams could they see such a tall wall that almost blocked the sky.
Magic couldn't do that, not even Dumbledore.
"It's..."
"It's still secret magic." Madison said in a decisive word.
The hole behind them had not disappeared, and as long as they turned their heads, they could see what they had come from, the twisted and abstract corridor was still in place, but after only stepping over one wall, they were trapped in a maze of walls that reached the sky, which was not an illusion.
"Secrecy magic is still at work." Madison looked left and right and said, "The real effect of this magic is probably to trap the enemy, and by the way, it can also hide the real secret." ”
"This is a little bit. It's really tight that can be blocked. Imogin muttered.
If the previous twisted corridor, the witches still have the confidence to find the right way out through some details and clues, then here, except for blowing up the walls, I am afraid there is really no second way.
Surrounded by almost identical walls, they appear to be designed to confuse enemies, and it's not as easy to find valuable clues here as it is to risk blasting them.
But again, in general, there must have been a myriad of trigger spells set up here, as the person who created the illusion must have also thought of the enemy exploding the walls.
However, the witches already knew that all the magic of the Congress had gone out of order, and that there was an illusion here, which did not mean that there were traps around, but that the magic had been deflected and transferred, not to mention that with the guidance of the portrait of the old man, they could get out through the right way.
"What did that guy say?" Imogen scratched his head and asked his companion next to him.
Except for Joanna, who had come in relatively early and was now confused, the other witches began to think about it seriously, but rolled their eyes, and Madison didn't bother to pay attention to these stupid fellows.
Raising her wand again, she whispered.
"The fog is dispelled."
