Chapter 13 Sword Intent!
It's December.
But people's minds seem to be still stuck in November, especially as the "boy who never dies", the first Quidditch match, which won the final victory for Gryffindor by swallowing the golden snitch, has become a topic of conversation among students.
After retiring from the arena, Harry became the brightest star, and coupled with his aura of "not a difficult boy who never dies", he overwhelmed Li Yang's single-handedly killing trolls, allowing Li Yang to spend November peacefully.
All the way up to the Christmas holidays.
"Li Yang, do you really want to leave school? You don't have anyone at home, so it's so boring to go back. "Harry wants to keep Li Yang.
During this time, although Li Yang did not participate in his action to expose Snape's conspiracy, he gave him a lot of help every time he gave small advice.
Now that Li Yang is gone, he doesn't know what to do next.
"Yes, you should stay, and find out Nicol Lemay with us, my God, the thought of finding a Nicol Lemay in that frighteningly large library with Harry and I makes me feel like I've lost hope in my life." Ron also wants to keep Li Yang, and his way of keeping him is very special.
I saw him take out his love mouse and reluctantly said to Li Yang: "If you are willing to stay and help us, these days, no, until the end of the Christmas holiday, I can let you sleep with Banban in your arms." ”
"......" Li Yang.
Why don't you let me sleep with Voldemort in my arms?
I heard Ron emphasize in particular: "Just cuddle up and sleep, it's never for you." ”
"If you're willing to give it to me, I can consider it." Li Yang said.
"Don't think about it." Ron held Spotted in his arms and sternly refused.
Ever since Li Yang offered to buy his love mouse, Li Yang has become the number one object of defense in his heart after Fred and George.
"Alright, let's stop talking about Spotted." Harry was genuinely impressed by the affection that Lee Yang and Ron showed for a dirty rat, and accepted incompetence.
"I'll send you out."
"No need."
After saying goodbye to Harry, Ron, and Neville, leaving the dormitory, and saying goodbye to Hermione, and signing Percy's school leaving list, Li Yang took the Hogwarts Express and returned to London.
He certainly didn't come home.
Instead, take the subway, come to Charing Cross, and stay in the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
"Look, who's coming? Our little Li Yang, haha, I knew that this kid had fallen in love with my warm and cozy bar. Old Tom didn't know whether to say hello or brag about his bar.
Li Yang rolled his eyes, walked through the bar, and entered Diagon Alley.
Head straight to the Blotted bookstore.
Unlike last time, this time there was an additional middle-aged couple by his side.
The middle-aged couple is extremely well-dressed, looks like a rich man, and as soon as they enter the bookstore, they show their doting on their children.
"I want this."
"I still want this."
"This one too."
The couple's request for the child is almost without thinking about one word:
"Buy."
"These are all magic that can only be accessed by third and fourth graders, and they may not be able to master it, children, I suggest you buy this book "Traveling on the Same Boat with Vampires", a very interesting book, it is the work of the great writer Gilderoy Lockhart."
"No, that's what I want."
"Okay, okay, just buy those."
Mrs. Ritting looked at the child in front of her as if she was spoiled and wanted everything, although she felt a little familiar, she didn't think much about it, and she was very enthusiastic about recommending it.
The Blotte Blotst Bookstore is full of people every day, and it is impossible for Mrs. Blotts, to remember every customer, not to mention that she has only met once more than four months ago, an insignificant little child.
Bought a whole bunch of books.
Mrs. Brett even gave her a large suitcase for free, so she could easily pack it up and take it away.
After leaving the bookstore and turning into an uninhabited alley, the expressions of the middle-aged couple suddenly changed, rubbing their hands, nodding and looking at Li Yang.
"Well done."
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, gave five hundred pounds each, and sent away.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Yang directly put the big suitcase into the bag and went back to the cauldron bar.
As soon as I entered the guest room, I locked the door and took out all the books in the suitcase.
"Crushing Charm."
"Split Spell."
"Stun Curse."
…… It can be seen that these books, without exception, are all spell books, and are clearly aggressive.
The troll attack, the progress of the plot, and the fact that Professor Quirrell and even Dumbledore were close to him and living in the same school every day all made Li Yang worry about his own strength, so he made a special trip to learn magic.
From Old Oren's books and first-year classes, there is so little magic to be learned, and even fewer that are truly of practical value.
He desperately needs a batch of magic that can give full play to his combat effectiveness.
In fact, the Hogwarts Library is a better choice for learning this kind of magic, and the collection of spells there is far greater than that of the Blotted Bookstore.
But perhaps out of dark psychology, or living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Li Yang always felt that he was not safe enough at Hogwarts, especially after killing the trolls, he suddenly changed from an obscure elementary school student to a top student, and the teachers of all classes, including the headmaster, seemed to pay a lot of attention to him, which made Li Yang dare not read those high-level spell books when he visited the library.
Isn't it strange for a first-grader to read some spell books that are difficult for older students to grasp all day long? Even a school bully like Hermione just reads books like "A History of the School" and dies to prepare for the second-grade spell in advance.
In private, Li Yang rarely comes into contact with high-level magic, because as a student, he actually rarely has time alone in private, there is a teacher in class, and there are Harry and others in the dormitory, and he doesn't want everyone to know what magic he is learning every day.
Li Yang is very clear about his current position.
First-graders.
A lot of times, it's his shackles that prevent him from doing what he wants, but conversely, isn't that the best cover for himself?
Li Yang has been painstakingly managing this cover identity, except for slightly better grades in school, and mastering a few more super-class small magic such as Flame Blazing and Petrification, which are not much different from other students.
"In this way, if the Philosopher's Stone is stolen in the end, no one will suspect me as a first-year student with excellent grades and obedient and sensible."
When he first crossed into this world, the excitement when he received the Hogwarts acceptance letter has long since subsided, and now Li Yang is full of thoughts on how to complete the task and obtain reinforcement points.
really wanted to learn magic, Li Yang instead gave up Hogwarts, which was close in front of him, and instead came to the Blotte Bookstore to learn it privately, just to hide his strength.
"First-grader, what a good opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger."
Li Yang smiled and took out another book from the bag.
Advanced Potions Crafting
"I don't need to think about it, but the other Snape-created dark arts written here are very practical."
The Christmas holiday is only twenty days, which seems like a lot, but it is quite stressful to learn the contents of these spell books in front of you.
Li Yang immediately seized the time to study.
"Bangbang." There was a knock on the door, but it rang out at an inopportune time.
"Who?" Li Yang asked with some displeasure.
"It's me."
Old Tom again.
Li Yang reluctantly put away the books and opened the door, "What did Hagrid ask you to say again?" ”
As soon as the door was halfway open, before Li Yang's words fell, suddenly a thin rope passed through the open door, like a living thing, and landed accurately on Li Yang's neck and wrapped around it.
Li Yang was startled, and his hands hurriedly grabbed the rope around his neck.
"Bang." The half-open door was slammed open by a figure.
Old Tom rushed in from outside the door, holding a wand in one hand, a thin rope extended from the tip of the wand, while the other hand grasped the other end of the rope and pulled hard, and the rope loop around Li Yang's neck was immediately tightened.
"Ugh." Li Yang made a sound of being stuck in his neck, grabbed the rope loop around his neck with both hands, and pulled it out hard, forming a reaction force with the strength of Old Tom tightening the rope.
The strength of the two men was like a see-saw, and they stalemate on this rope.
Li Yang is a twelve-year-old child.
Old Tom was an old man who had lost all his teeth.
This little one is old, and for a while, he really can't tell the difference.
"Damn." Old Tom scolded in a low voice, he didn't expect Li Yang to be able to grab the rope before it tightened under the sudden attack, and also resisted.
Is this a reaction that a twelve-year-old can have?
This kid shouldn't have been made by someone else after taking a compound decoction, right?
Old Tom gritted his teeth, and his hands began to tremble.
He was an old man after all, and as the saying goes, a newborn calf was as fierce as a tiger, and after a stalemate, his physical strength was obviously unable to hold on.
On the other hand, Li Yang.
His hands that grabbed the rope were bruised, his face turned purple, and his eyes were red, glaring at the old Tom in front of him.
"Roar!"
Li Yang's mouth suddenly let out a terrifying roar like a beast, not only using the strength of milk, but also a strong murderous aura rushed out.
Murderous spirit cannot kill people.
But old Tom's body suddenly stiffened, and at this desperate moment, his strength was unexpectedly relaxed.
What's going on?
Li Yang didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, grabbed the rope, and pulled it backwards violently, pulling old Tom to the ground and falling to the ground.
Then he didn't have time to untie the rope around his neck, and watched Old Tom struggle to get up, kicking Old Tom in the back of the head.
Old Tom was instantly knocked unconscious.
"Whew...... ...... "Li Yang ripped off the rope around his neck, threw it aside, sat on the floor with his buttocks, and breathed in a big gulp of bloody air.
Long.
Slow down.
Looking at the fainting old Tom on the floor, and then looking at his hands that were strangled with a purple rope mark, the scene of the old Tom's inexplicable stiffness and relaxation in the process of wrestling just now was constantly replayed in Li Yang's mind, but finally it was fixed on the picture of the murderous energy rushing out of his body.
Doubts, dazedness, and disbelief all appeared on Li Yang's face one by one:
"That's like...
Sword Intent?! ”
