Chapter 174: Living Point Map

Gilderoy Lockhart's has arrived at the school, and it is said that starting next week, he will be taking the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professorship. And it is said that on Sunday, which is tomorrow, anyone can go to his office and take a picture with him and get an autograph, but because there are too many people, the professor takes precedence......

As soon as he returned to Hogwarts Castle, Pei Chen heard such a bad news, and the corners of his eyes immediately jumped wildly.

Almost immediately, he said solemnly to Hermione, who was looking at him with an expectant look, "Don't even think about it, I can consider anything else in terms of our friendship...... But if you're going to ask that guy Lockhart for an autograph, we're going to have to break up......"

"You! …… Stingy! Hermione stomped her foot angrily and shouted in discontent.

Pei Chen didn't pay attention to her at all, for a little girl who is in a state of fanatical star-chasing, any reasoning will not work, only the most straightforward refusal and talking about things to death can put an end to this kind of annoyance. Anyway, he just put on such an attitude - with him or not, I have already made the consequences clear, if you still want to break up with me for a signed photo of that......

What the hell can I say?!

"Really?" Hermione bit her lower lip unwillingly and asked, and then saw Pei Chen's eyes squinting slightly, and subconsciously felt a bad premonition, and immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking. But looking at her appearance, she is still very dissatisfied and aggrieved.

It stands to reason that Pei Chen should say hello to a new colleague, but he hasn't even taken the initiative to contact Professor McGonagall, Snape and others, let alone a Lockhart, so he can't be interested at all.

After the two entered the castle, they parted ways, Hermione went directly back to the Gryffindor Tower, but Pei Chen went to his office, first put things away, especially the dragon egg, and then opened his task list with joy and looked at it for a while.

The Hogsmeade Village Hidden Map has been unlocked! Add the three [Diagon Alley], [Tumbling Alley], and [Nine and a Quarter Platform], and there are already four maps unlocked.

"The exploration of the Forbidden Forest has also reached a critical point, as long as you take a trip to the center of the Forbidden Forest for another time, you should be able to unlock a hidden map of the [Forbidden Forest]." Pei Chen said to himself, "And the [Forbidden Forest] is also part of Hogwarts, maybe at that time, even the map of [Hogwarts] will be unlocked......"

"I just don't know how to get to Azkaban Wizard Prison under normal circumstances, and I don't know anyone in it...... Do you really want to dive in? ”

Rubbing his nose, Pei Chen first glanced at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall - the electronic clock will fail within the school limits, although it is a low-magic world, but the technology may not be able to go anywhere, all electronic devices will be beaten by a strong magical magnetic field in Hogwarts - it is already more than six o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock, and it seems that there is still some time before nine o'clock.

"Maybe you can go see Lao Deng first and ask him what he has to do with the owner of the pig's head bar...... By the way, and the painting, I'll just say why it's so familiar, if it's a relative of the old guy, then everything is over...... Hey? ”

When he poured out a large pile of clutter in the storage space, Pei Chen was about to tidy up and sort the things that Fred and the others bought, but his eyes flashed by a few spells, and he carefully pulled those rays of light out of the candy pile and smiled bitterly.

"Those two brothers are really relieved...... The wand was thrown at me, and it was a relaxing ...... Uh, what is this? ”

Pei Chen picked up a piece of worn-out parchment, spread it out and looked at it, there was nothing or patterns on it, it was just a blank and yellowed parchment, it looked like it was a few years old, but that's all.

"What the hell did these two brothers end up with me?" Pei Chen, who knew the temperament of the twins, didn't believe that those two guys would carry such a worn-out blank parchment on their bodies all the time, and as long as it was a valuable item, direct contact with the space-time apostle was equivalent to indirect contact with infinite space, and nothing could hide from the attention of infinite space at all.

No, almost the moment he got his hands, Pei Chen had already seen the identification results of this broken paper in the retina: "Living point map? What's that...... Damn, it looks really murderous! ”

After Pei Chen saw the detailed description of the broken paper, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly walked back to the desk, spread out the so-called map of living points, smoothed the edges, and then stretched out his knuckles to tap a few times, and the green mangs of demonic power instantly wandered on the map and turned into faint silk threads one after another, as if he was building something.

At this time, Pei Chen couldn't help but smile, and solemnly and reverently swore that "I swear I don't plan to do good things......"

There was a squeak, and at this time, the wooden door of the office was pushed open, and a huge figure squeezed in. Hagrid didn't pay attention to what Pei Chen was doing, and he might not even be sure if Pei Chen was in the office, so he rushed in in a hurry, and he shouted in a loud voice, "Is Professor Lyle back?" Oh, that's great, Professor Lyle, I heard George say you have a dragon in your hands...... Burst! ”

Pei Chen's eyes lit up red, and just before Hagrid's loud voice almost shouted that word throughout the entire Hogwarts castle, he appeared at the door of the office in an instant with lightning speed, so fast that he dragged out the afterimage, rolled up a violent wind in the room, and then a ferocious knee hit Hagrid's stomach!

"......" Hagrid's eyes widened, and the sudden attack not only succeeded in making him swallow the last syllable, but also almost pierced his stomach, he almost fainted on the spot by the colic feeling transmitted by his abdomen, and pointed at Pei Chen in shock, his fingers trembled, and he couldn't speak.

When he was a student, he had already entered the Forbidden Forest to fight trolls, and since then, he has experienced countless crises of all kinds, but even the silverwing unicorn that almost didn't pierce his stomach is simply drizzle compared to what happened today.

With unimaginably ferocious force, what kind of monster is hidden under Professor Lyle's soft, weak, harmless human skin?!

……

……

Hagrid was a big man, and he had a good personality - just like Pei Chen almost didn't punch him through the stomach, and in the end he only lost a Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon's egg, and even Hagrid was very grateful to Pei Chen, insisting on giving Pei Chen the rock skin cake and skunk sandwich he baked himself.

However, Pei Chen felt that he was deliberately retaliating, so the moment Hagrid closed the door and went out, the Skunk Sandwich flew directly out of the window, and with the support of a strong driving force, he crossed a graceful arc, flew over a straight line distance of nearly two hundred meters, and fell to the ice on the lake with a thud.

This level of dark cuisine, even if it is not as good as the legendary Akiko jam or Sanae bread or something, but it is not a blessing for a small person like him, if he really eats that bag of sandwiches...... Maybe the molting that Pei Chen needs as a snake demon will soon come in advance - as the so-called immortality has to take off a layer of skin, there is wood!

When the source was removed, the smell in the office gradually returned to normal. Pei Chen sat down tiredly and removed the books pressed on the map of the living point, revealing a large yellowed and old piece of parchment underneath.

This map depicts all the details of Hogwarts Castle and its venues. However, the really noteworthy thing is the tiny ink dots that move along the map, each with a name in tiny letters.

"It's really an artifact!" Pei Chen shook his head, "It's a pity that this map is in the hands of those two living treasures." ”

He squinted at the map and looked closely, the first thing he noticed was his office, which was fine, there was no one outside the door. But...... There was no presence in the office, which made Pei Chen both relieved and a little disappointed.

"Sure enough, with a mere two-star magic map, it is impossible to know my existence and real name directly out of nothing, because I am not from this world at all...... It's okay, after all, it's a two-star prop, and if it's really that terrifying, you can directly know other people's names and actions, and then cooperate with death (meow) notes, it will be tricky. ”

Pei Chen sighed as he looked around the map, and he saw that there were two ink dots on the headmaster's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, marked with the words "Albus Percival Woolfrick Brian Dumbledore" and "Gilderoy Lockhart" respectively, Pei Chen couldn't help frowning.

Filch's cat, Lady Loris, is wandering the third floor, while Peeves, a prankster, is hopping around the prize room. Pei Chen's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and with just a cursory glance, he basically grasped the information displayed on the entire map. However, he was clearly more interested in the series of secret passages.

Although it is a very magical magic map, Pei Chen has not yet made it to hack his students. He just used a blank piece of parchment to copy a topographical map of Hogwarts, highlighting the secret passages.

After tidying up the work at hand, Pei Chen glanced at the map again, and then planned to take advantage of the present to send the things back to the twin brothers. So he focused on Gryffindor Tower and found something......

Hermione was still in her dorm, so she didn't have to pay much attention to that. What Pei Chen really cares about is-

"Peter Pedirau......"

The slender index finger slowly stroked a small black dot on the map, Pei Chen's face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was pondering. He had already stood up, but now he sat down again. Keep staring at the small black dot on the map that is very concerning, and follow it.

It is said that as a teacher, the first thing you have to remember is all the students. This sentence is very reasonable, and Pei Chen also implemented it well, after all, there are more than 800 students in the entire school, and it is not difficult for him to remember their names and correspond to their appearances one by one.

But even with the addition of the school's faculty and staff, Pei Chen can be sure that absolutely no one should be called by this name, if there is one, it is more than ten years ago-

Because Harry is the protagonist of the plot after all, in the spirit of foolproof, Pei Chen investigated all his information, plus the top-secret information told to him by a certain white-bearded old man, Pei Chen discovered something...... Harry's father seems to have a good friend named Peter Pediru, but he died heroically eleven years ago and was awarded the Order of Merlin, 1st class......

"Oh, that's really interesting, it looks like you've discovered something amazing......"
