Chapter 6: Stewardship
"Plus a little stuff from another world." The man rubbed his index finger and thumb slightly.
"You're the second traveler I've seen here, and I can tell you some common sense for the sake of you're still a newcomer."
The man in front of Zhao Qian, who claimed to have been in the world for several worlds and was not dead, obviously saw his identity. It's something he can't hide. As long as this person is not stupid, his eyes are vicious.
"Of course, the first guy was thrown into the nearby Forbidden Forest by me because he wanted to beat me."
He continued to talk in a rambling manner, holding the glass with his right hand and shaking his foot slightly as he woke up the red wine in the high-heeled glass in his hand.
"Travelers are eligible to form a team when they reach 12 points of contribution, and if they reach 5 points, they will be able to find out where they are going in the next world from the station in 30 minutes. And our team, much higher than all of that......"
The man chattered endlessly, talking to Zhao Qian not so much as taking care of him as a newcomer, but satisfying his own conversation-desire-desire. Sitting on a chair near the long table, he motioned for Zhao Qian on the side to sit down as well.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhao Qian interrupted as he sat across from him, looking into the man's eyes. All the news that came out of his mouth was false to him, except for this so-called convoy gathering point in front of him. He wanted to know what the hell this guy in front of him was trying to do, no one would share his safe space with others for no reason. Unless, he has a plan for you.
This place may be one, at least no one has discovered it yet.
There was a brief silence in the basement, where there were only two people, two people sitting opposite each other, one shaking the wine in his hand and the other empty-handed.
Getting up, Zhao Qian stood up.
This man still seems to be so careless, and if ordinary people do this, it can be said that it means leaving. But he didn't seem to care. Because it was Hogwarts outside, he wasn't worried at all that the newcomer in front of him would leave, and without a map, it was almost impossible for any traveler to go undetected in this place.
But there was no one outside.
He relieved himself and glanced at the figure that had long been absent in front of him, and he could even hear a few faint footsteps in the distance.
His face was gloomy, but he didn't make a move, because there was no benefit, and maybe he might disrupt his next plan.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that there should be a different kind of Quidditch match going on in the Hogwarts playground tonight, although the result was a bit disappointing. But the protagonist of this world who was brought down from the sky by a Dementor must have attracted a lot of attention.
Including, that big dog, Sirius Black.
Zhao Qian didn't actually think about it at first, but when he looked out the window, something reminded him. Let him only dare to glance at it hurriedly.
A golden Quidditch flew by.
Thunderstorm day.
Zhao Qian stretched out a black umbrella and walked in the rain with a frown.
There are some aspects of Hogwarts that are not very well done, and it may be due to the fact that its occupants are wizards. Its drainage system is worse than you think.
Standing water is able to submerge small feet - bare.
And did not flee directly.
Instead, he walked towards the brighter boys' dormitory, where there were a few deafening thunders mixed with audible screams of excitement in the distance. The weather in the village outside was still sunny, but it was raining heavily here at the academy.
Zhao Qian continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard. Time is pressing, although he has also watched "Harry Potter", but he does not remember the clips in those movies very clearly, and it can even be said that because the interval between the return time is too short, he has not even systematically studied the world he may be experiencing.
"Rustle."
The sound of rain hitting the leaves, but his steps suddenly stopped.
There were a few exclamations from the stadium over there, mixed with screams.
He looked up with a frown, and a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and a black shadow filled the sky. The rain and the wind were blowing the worn-out hems of the guys' clothes, but they could still float slowly like a cloud.
Dementors.
Zhao Qian recognized the things in the sky at a glance, and he was still impressed by this kind of creature that was somewhat famous in this world.
Looking at the light of the fire that fell from the sky, he stood in place and silently recited the "mission submission" to the ticket on his wrist in his heart.
"Hint, your main quest: Academy. Done, you're still 500 meters away from the center of Hogwarts Station. ”
"You have 200 travel points, and this quest has a completion of B."
"You get quest bonuses, status, and an exchange student from outside Hogwarts (one month)."
He sighed a little disappointedly, knowing that it was this reward, he should have continued to move forward. But this is tantamount to gambling, in case the reward for a few steps is not this, then you can only be dumbfounded.
The decision he made just now was correct, which Zhao Qian knew from beginning to end. Reason can make you retreat, and greed can kill you. Now this reward is a bit unexpected.
"Hint: Your bonus, status: Exchange students from outside Hogwarts (one month) have been used, and the station will take care of everything for you."
Continuing to hold the umbrella, Zhao Qian stood in the rain. The rain was pouring down on him and the wind was blowing all over him.
"Mr. Blair! Mr. Blair! ”
In the distance of the academy on a rainy night, a few calls were faintly heard. He stood there as if a voice in his heart was telling him that the man was looking for him. Inexplicably, the man got closer and closer, and even the ticket tattoo on his wrist was hot.
"Thankfully, sir. You're okay. ”
The man also held the umbrella and said in embarrassment, but the concerned look on his face could not be faked.
Zhao Qian looked at the man in front of him who was completely clothed, it was an old man. Looking at his appearance, he should be a housekeeper. This is the person who the station has arranged for itself.
He nodded.
"I'm fine, Tim."
He opened his mouth and called out a name very smoothly. When the old man who led the way in front of him went back, there was a sound in his ears about the ticket.
"You get Main Quest 2: Hunter."
"Description: You must hunt at least 3 magical creatures (note: the rarity must be light blue or higher), and one of them must be a legendary creature."
"Mission Description: In addition to the animals that crawl around, magical creatures are of course sorcerers, but that's up to you."
"Objective: Kill more than 3 magical creatures."
"Quest Hint: Hagrid may be upset with you for your actions."
"Quest Hint: The more types of magical creatures you hunt, the higher the rarity, and the better the rewards you get."
"Mission Tip: You will get the final main quest information when you meet the conditions for completing the mission."
