Listening to Filch, he probably didn't notice that Tom was out with Korubelos this time.

After Filch finished speaking, he leaned down and touched Mrs. Loris, and walked away with a "click".

Lady Loris gave a small mew to Filch's back and sat down obediently beside Chromeus.

"Whew-"

After confirming that Filch was far away, Rubelos's muscles loosened and he let out a long breath.

It raised its paw to pat Lady Loris, and turned its head to signal that Tom was ready to come out.

Tom slipped out of the empty classroom.

"Is it really okay to take it with you?" asked Tom softly.

Lady Loris, looking at Corubelos and then at Tom, got up and walked to the other side of Corubelos, away from Tom.

"It's fine. Hubelos replied quietly.

It led the way towards the castle gates, and Lady Loris followed closely on the other side of the Cruberos, her head looking left and right from time to time, as if she were keeping watch for the Cruberos.

Escorted by Lady Loris, Tom and Corubelos left the castle safely.

Lady Loris squatted at the gate of the castle and watched Tom leave, but Rubelos did not forget to turn back and say goodbye to Lady Loris.

"It's a strange feeling. Tom trotted all the way to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, "I should be the first student to enjoy Lady Loris helping break the school rules, right?"

"That's for sure. Rubelos puffed up his chest and said proudly, "It took me a lot of effort to buy it." ”

Tom threw a grateful glance at Corubelos.

"Are you sure it's the 'Xiang' card during the day?" Tom held up his silver basswood wand, carefully feeling the position of the Kuro card as he cautiously walked towards the Forbidden Forest, "Its energy fluctuations are strong. The 'shadow' that appeared before, I can only feel it in the castle, and I can't feel it as soon as I leave the castle. But no matter where I am, I can clearly know where it is. ”

"Because 'Xiang' has a much gentler temperament than 'Shadow'. It's similar to 'Wind', both of which are Kuro cards that don't like to have too much trouble. "But Shadow is different. It is mischievous and likes to show itself, so it will deliberately hide its location. ”

Their feet made a small noise as they stepped on the leafy path of the Forbidden Forest.

"It's incredible. Tom cautiously climbed over a fallen tree trunk and sighed, "It feels like the Kuro cards really have life." ”

"Because Kuro Reed is a great magician!" said Rubelos, of course.

That's right, too.

Tom smiled.

But Rubellos is also a kind of magic product created by Kurlo. Since Koruberos can move like a real creature and even have an independent mind of his own, it's no surprise that Kuro has a different personality.

They kept walking, gradually approaching the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"It's close. Tom said, "I feel like 'Xiang' is not far ahead. ”

Rubelos nodded in agreement.

Just in case, Tom lifted the key from the seal.

The smell of the Kulo cards is getting stronger and stronger, and Tom and Chromelos are extra cautious.

After a few steps, it suddenly became clear in front of me.

Several yew trees were struck with great force and fell in all directions.

The moonlight was unobstructed by the leaves, and shone freely on the vacant woodland.

There was a big snow-white bird lying on the woodland, bathing comfortably in the moonlight, and when it heard Tom's movement, it only raised its eyes to look at Tom.

Tom held the two wands, a little dazed.

Xiang's size was more than a hundred times smaller than he saw during the day, and judging from Xiang's size during the day, even if its character was docile, Tom was ready to fight hard.

Who knew that the truth gave him a great surprise, "Xiang" not only became much smaller, but his temper was even gentler than Tom imagined.

Look at the big bird lying on his stomach in front of him, revealing the message of "seal me up quickly".

"Give me a dozen of these cullo cards!" Tom laughed happily, "so I don't have to worry about being found out, hahaha." ”

Tom pointed his bird's head wand at the big bird: "Revert to your old self, Kurlo!"

The big bird looked at Tom calmly, and obediently turned into a stream of magic power, surging towards the wand in Tom's hand.

A "Xiang" card with a large bird floated into Tom's hand, and Tom took out his pen and wrote his name on the card in his palm.

"Then there's the hard 'shadow' card. Tom put the Kuro cards away, and the Bird's Head Wand turned back into the key and hung it back on his chest, "Hopefully the Kuro cards will be sealed before the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students arrive." ”

"I hope so too. "But I have to say, it's nice to imagine, there are fifty-two of the Kuro cards, and you can see how many of them we've sealed in the past few months." ”

Tom took out the Kulo cards in his pocket and counted: "With the 'ingots' in the bedroom, it's already ten." ”

"Hey—" Rubelos sighed helplessly, "That's pretty good, at least you have some self-protection now." Now one can only hope that there will be no big mess during the Triwizard Tournament. ”

Tom sighed along.

"Forget it, I don't want to go that far yet, the important thing now is to solve the 'shadow' card that is still in the castle. Tom put the Kuro cards away, drew his silver basswood wand, and began to walk back.

"Shadow cards are not easy to seal!" said Hubelos, "Hogwarts at night is its home turf, and there are so many places it can hide. ”

"There's always a way. Tom said firmly, "Is the shadow only a shadow?"

"It's not. Rubelos replied, "The 'shadow' is only free to move in the shadow, and without the shadow, it only appears in its original form, and it does not affect it anything." ”

"It's a bit tricky. Tom touched his chin, "Fluorescent flickering." ”

There was a faint glow on the tip of the wand, illuminating the dark path a little more clearly.

"The best way to reduce shadows is to have light everywhere," Tom stared at the halo in front of his wand, "but that's all I can do." If I'm going to seal Shadow at night, I'll have to find a way to make the castle bright. ”

"It's sure to alarm all the professors. Hubelos frowned.

"That can only be sealed during the day. Tom looked away from the tip of his wand, "However, during the day, the castle is full of students, and it is impossible to spread your hands and feet. ”

"You also have to take into account that even during the day, there are still a lot of dimly lit places in the castle. ”

Rubelos reminded.

Tom fell silent.

Speechless all the way.

"Hah, look who I saw. ”
