Chapter Fifty-Three: Responding to Requests, Twilight Crossing

Over the course of the next week, the newcomers finally understood what Rorschach meant by "doing nothing."

In fact, they can't do anything.

Although because of their status as guests, they naturally obtained the authority second only to the school teachers, they can audit any course of the four colleges, they can also go in and out of the library to read most of the books at will, and even enjoy some special treatment in living conditions that even professors can't get, but these things still can't change a fact.

The fact that they are just "Muggles".

It's not that those little wizards are discriminated against, in fact, in the hearts of these students and professors who are not deeply involved in the world, most of the people in the visiting group belong to the descendants of another school of magic in the Far East, no wands and can't release spells, just because they don't show their real skills, plus the age gap, except for the young Xiong Shaodong, who can fight with the Gryffindor students with a tender face, most of the students' attitude towards them is almost the same restraint and respect as the teacher.

The problem is that in the wizarding world there is no magic, it is not that simple.

The lack of wizarding talent means that they cannot learn any spells, even if they can memorize those awkward spells, even if they have the cheekiness to borrow a student's wand to try, it will not have any effect, even if it is a toy flying broom trained in Quidditch, it will not call for a response from an ordinary person. In this way, they can profit from the quest world, leaving behind meaningless subjects such as the history of magic, and leaving only two courses that do not require magical abilities but involve mysteries - "astrology" and "potions".

However, for newcomers, these two courses are not so easy.

Although astrology does not require the power of shamans, it does require an innate pre-vision of inspiration similar to the Buddhist "fatalism", a talent that has only been possessed by a few famous prophets throughout history, such as Jocha Danmas, the creator of The Centuries. Therefore, this hidden condition is actually more than the witchcraft related to spells, and even the entire Hogwarts is only involved in the soothsayer "Sybil Traolini", who inherited some of the sacrificial bloodlines of the sun god in Greek mythology.

As for the other potions course, although it is relatively simple, it also requires a lot of knowledge and strong memorization, and the principles of alchemy of first-year medicinal materials alone have more than ten complicated contents, which is completely a process of fine manipulation and long-term accumulation. Among the newcomers, only Xiong Shaodong, who has not yet left the school, has a science background, is accustomed to the cramming education of the Celestial Empire, and constantly forgets to sleep and eat, but he quickly kept up with the progress of the students and learned a lot of basic potion cooking techniques.

"When I was at home, I liked to disassemble and put together those anime figures, and I have secretly hidden from my family over the years, and I have accumulated more than 700 models, but I didn't expect that the things I exercised would come in handy here." Carefully putting the medicine in the test tube into the boiling cauldron, looking at the wisps of purple smoke slowly rising, Xiong Shaodong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile to the blonde girl who had been watching for a long time on the other side.

Kang Nor nodded absentmindedly, held his chin, and suddenly asked, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with the captain and Sister Ji Qing these days......

Xiong Shaodong was stunned, recalled the changes in the past few days, and subconsciously muttered in a low voice: "There is such a big beauty who sticks to her side all day and night, and she can't get rid of it, so something will be wrong with me." He saw that the girl in front of him seemed to clench her white and tender fists, and looked eager to try, and hurriedly shouted: "Eh, if you have something to say, I can't help you touch it." Well, I get what you mean. ”

He stretched out his hands helplessly and said, "Actually, what you want to say is that the captain is no longer as gloomy as when he first met, although he is actually very good, he always gives people a feeling of depression." Now it seems that although the whole person is a little wooden, it is more real and approachable, and it is a lot more kind and sunny, right? ”

Connor clenched her fists and said suddenly, "Although I haven't found any good adjectives, it's just what you said." ”

"It's simple...... The captain is in love," Xiong Shaodong grabbed his hair, rubbed it in annoyance, and said: "Actually, it can't be considered love, I don't know what happened to the captain before, but in the past few days, I see the way they get along, not like a couple, but like a ......."

"What?" Connor's eyes twinkled over unconsciously, and she looked extremely interested.

“mu…… Ah, it's sister and brother," Xiong Shaodong was about to speak, but suddenly paused, and then continued: "Just like a gentle big sister taking care of her younger brother with social disorders, Sister Yania is always by the captain's side, eating, resting, and practicing are inseparable, although the captain looks like he hates and rejects him, he seems to adapt to and like this mode of getting along. This is actually very strange, you must know that the average couple, the relationship seems to be hot and crazy for a while, but in fact, it is far less intimate than the long-term intimacy between family members, both sides always have some private space, once it is violated, it is immediately incompatible, but when it comes to the captain, it seems that there is no such thing. ”

Saying that, Xiong Shaodong saw that Kang Na seemed to understand whether he understood or not, so he had to change his words: "Actually, compared to the captain, I think the eldest sister is more strange......"

"Oh?" A faint voice interjected, "What's so strange?" ”

The gossipy young man didn't notice the change in his voice, but talked more excitedly: "Didn't you see that when the eldest sister saw the captain accompany Sister Aniya out of the room, the whole person's face became gloomy?" Especially in the past few days, I suddenly asked for training, every day from morning to night, in addition to eating and sleeping in the training room, I think this is not so much for the task of training, but more out of sight of the crazy venting, I guess that night when the captain gave up his life in front of the eldest sister's head......"

He couldn't go on.

"Dada――――――"

The faint light of the fire flashed, and on the floor in front of the young man's feet, there was already a row of fine holes, and the broken wooden planks with the residual strength of the collapse turned into more than ten tiny fragments, slapping on his cheeks. While stabbing a little painfully, it also made the newcomer turn his head stiffly, and barely squeezed out a crying expression: "Big sister? ”

"Go on...... I'm listening. The soft voice came out of the mouth of the college student, who had always been quiet and delicate, but Xiong Shaodong was speechless, and his heartbeat sounded like thunder.

At this time, Ji Qing was no longer the quiet casual dress in white, his black hair was tied into a ponytail, and he wore a light green beret, like a heroic female soldier, wearing a dark green military uniform, holding a long black and shiny automatic rifle, although his face was a little tired, but there was a little more fierce atmosphere.

Although it is also the first time to enter the infinite space, compared to the veteran who is silent all day long and always acts alone, this newcomer who is the most mature in psychological age and physiology, easy-going and thoughtful, takes the initiative to take care of his obviously younger companions, and is closer to the predecessor like a big sister in terms of image, Ji Qing just glanced at it, and let Connor, who was watching the play on the side, stick out his tongue, and wanted to run away when he saw that the situation was not good, but he was choked by a light voice.

"Connor, you stay, too."

Looking at the two of them who instantly turned into good babies, Ji Qing wiped the fine sweat from the corners of his forehead, looked down at the newcomer boy who was in a cold sweat, and said coldly: "Learning potions is indeed very useful whether it is detoxification or treatment. However, according to the Book of Reincarnation, more often than not, we need to directly face the monster enemy, so even if you want to be a medical officer, you must reserve basic combat abilities for me, and you will come with me for the afternoon training. ”

She turned her head and instructed with some hatred: "Connor, although you are very powerful, no matter how strong you are, can you compare to a bullet?" Although this mission looks easy, who knows if it will be directly confronted with enemies like demons and ghosts next time? Even if we don't have superpowers, at least if we are proficient in guns and grenades, we will have a better chance of survival, and you can't learn those witchcraft and magic anyway, so train with me. ”

"But...... Those toys are really useless to me......" The blonde girl seemed to want to argue, and couldn't help muttering a few words softly, and after confirming that Ji Qing didn't hear it, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and still followed with a frustrated face. I saw that in front of the three of them, in the spacious corner, more than a dozen sealed containers were quietly stacked, and a few of them were half-opened, revealing a dark and cold hideous color.

From a distant point of view, the house where the newlyweds are at this time is empty to hundreds of square meters, but there are only three people moving, and the northwest corner of the room is placed with various precision and neat potion instruments, and on the wall on the other side, there are rows of round targets erected.

The ability to adapt to the needs of any environment as the visitor's mind changes is the hallmark of the "Room of Request", a secret room that no one knows about at Hogwarts, but it will not stop adventurers who have read the original book from entering. Before the protagonist discovers this place, Ji Qing found out this room in advance, although it can't be used to help practice spells, but under the dozen boxes of firepower weapons provided by the British military for free, newcomers can also carry out ordinary combat training.

And when Xiong Shaodong was tired and out of breath, and after firing the first few thousand bullets, he wiped his sweat and rested, only to find that on the bench next to him, there were two leisurely bystanders sitting at some point.

To be precise, a teenager with a stiff demeanor, held by a laid-back and charming blonde, the two of them sit on a bench close to their bodies, holding drinks and whispering to each other.

Sensing his gaze, the young man who had just taken a sip of milk tea raised his head, smiled awkwardly, and raised his glass to come over.

Seeing that he was discovered, Rorschach couldn't pretend to be transparent anymore, so he had to stand up casually and say to the three people who stopped their movements: "I think you can have a good rest today." ”

"Why?" Ji Qing's eyebrows frowned slightly, lowered the rifle in his hand, and asked unceremoniously at a woman who was smiling: "We don't have messy superpowers like you, we can only use our own methods to try to survive." ”

"Training is a good thing, but it also has to be a combination of work and rest," Rorschach nodded in agreement, then smiled, "Happy holidays." ”

"Holidays?" Ji Qing was stunned and asked repeatedly.

"By the way, tomorrow is Halloween!" On the contrary, Connor, who was born in a Western society after all, immediately reacted and said happily: "When I got up in the morning, I saw that the hall and classrooms were decorated with lights, and I heard them say that a large celebration party will be held tonight. Captain, were we invited to participate as well? ”

Rorschach nodded with a smile and said, "At tonight's Halloween Eve party, we will also participate as special guests, and after my suggestion, there will probably be some oriental delicacies on the school's table, but don't expect too much, although the elf's craftsmanship is powerful, the barrier between Eastern and Western cultures is not so easy to overcome." ”

After Xiong Shaodong on the side listened, he was about to speak, but suddenly showed a strange look, nodded and stopped talking.

Ji Qing had no choice but to put down the things at hand, turned his head, and said lightly: "In that case, then Kang Nor and I will go take a shower and change clothes first, and see you in the hall later." ”

With that, she ignored the rest of Rorschach and pulled Connor straight outside, and the blonde girl who was accompanying her had no choice but to show an apologetic look and follow.

Xiong Shaodong, the remaining newcomer present, was about to speak, but when he saw that Rorschach only explained a few words, he turned around and left directly, and in the blink of an eye, only the blonde Meiwa who had been smiling was left alone, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked out loud: "Ms. Yaniya, captain him?" ”

"Xia said that he has some things to deal with alone," the beauty, who was increasingly exuding an astonishing charm, shook her head and said a little coldly, "I suggest that you should also go back to the dormitory and change your clothes, tonight's banquet is said to invite a performance from the Wizard Opera Society." If nothing else, I'll go first. ”

The newcomer boy watched Mei Wa's departing figure, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to leave, but turned around and walked to the corner of the wooden box where the weapon was stored.

……

On the other side, when the Halloween party was about to begin, in the corridor that should have been empty, a hurried figure suddenly walked in, and he walked towards the hall of the dinner, but was stunned to find that there was a person standing quietly in the corridor in front of him.

"Good evening, Professor Quirrell, are you also going to the banquet?" The young man from the Far East showed a surprised look and hurried up to meet him.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry......" The man with layers of fuchsia bandanas wrapped around his head, looking bloated and ridiculous, was stunned, barely squeezed out a smile, gasped, and was about to cross over.

However, in the next second, a cold iron fist that pierced through the sound barrier suddenly came.

"Boom Boom Rumble ――――――――"

The fist that exceeded the speed of sound not only rushed up a snow-white wave of air, but the fist power directly penetrated the man's chest, and the majestic force instantly shattered his torso, and the remaining energy scattered through his body, setting off a wild hurricane seven or eight meters long, breaking the floor of the entire corridor layer by layer.

Standing in the midst of a chaotic passage in the blink of an eye, Rorschach's Book of Reincarnation slowly emerged, revealing new contents.

"Record: Rorschach the Adventurer (Black Iron Rank Middle), Independently Challenged the Dark Wizard ......"
