345. A new warrior departs
After the next afternoon, after the class, Scott and the others went to the "joke furniture studio" located in the secret passage again.
The eagle that Scott sent had already returned.
Fred quickly picked up the stuffed rabbit and pulled out the panoramic telescope.
"Let me see."
He held the panoramic telescope up in front of his eyes and skillfully turned the roulette wheel with his fingers.
"Forget it, Fred." George laughed and said, "Can you tell where little Hangleton is from the footage you look back?" ”
"Who said I couldn't find it, I studied the map." Fred said unconvinced.
George didn't believe in his abilities, and said in a mocking tone, "Then you can find it slowly." ”
Ignoring the two brothers' bickering, Scott reached out and touched the eagle's feathers, using his magical perception to probe its status.
"I didn't expect it to be in a solid state after the past day." He said to Eddie.
"I can't do that."
Eddie looked with some envy at the eagle that was deliberately standing more majestic under Scott's touch.
"If I use Transfiguration to conjure an animal, I can only stay for an hour at most, and I can't move on my own once I'm out of range of mana."
Scott shrugged his shoulders, "I told you how to advance Transfiguration. ”
"I know the method, but I can't do it." Eddie said helplessly.
At this point, Fred finally gave up.
"Well, I really can't find it." He handed Scott the panoramic telescope in his hand.
"Let Eddie come." Scott laughs and says, "It's his forte." ”
Gossip also requires talent, and what is needed is keen observation and memory.
"I do need to come." Eddie proudly took over the panoramic telescope and operated it.
Scott starts making small talk to the twins.
He asked Fred and George, "What have you been inventing lately?" ”
"We've been working on fireworks lately." Fred pulled out a notebook from his old desk and flipped it over, "Of course, our plans also include a portable swamp. ”
"We think there's a lot to be improved in the effort to pull out the fireworks, and sooner or later we're going to make something that goes beyond it," says George. ”
As the two spoke, they couldn't help but take out tools and materials and put them together and tinkered.
Scott watched for a moment as they were experimenting with a pyrotechnic recipe when small explosions erupted from time to time inside an old crucible.
"Oh, it doesn't work." Fred said as he picked up a quill and wrote it down in his notebook.
"Keep experimenting." George pulls out a bottle of unidentified mineral powder.
Scott retracted his gaze and picked up a new panoramic telescope, trying to break through the blockade with magical perception and figure out the internal magic circuit.
"Oh, I found it!" Eddie, who had been holding up a panoramic telescope to watch, suddenly spoke, "This is Little Hangleton, a small dilapidated village. ”
Fred and George immediately stopped their research and leaned in front of Eddie.
"Have you found the old Gaunt mansion?" Fred asked, "I heard that they have long been depressed and live in a dilapidated house. ”
George said disapprerovingly, "Is it more broken than our house?" ”
"Maybe, or almost? I rarely see a wizard's house that is more dilapidated than our house. Fred said with a smile.
"But it's still more interesting to live in the Burrow." George said proudly.
Fred agreed, "I think so, too." ”
"I can't tell." "The view is from the air, and the camera is not very stable, but there are very few people in this village. ”
"Find an abandoned house." Scott reminded him.
"Okay, yes." Eddie flicked the wheel with his fingers, adjusting the speed of playback, "I need to take a closer look, oh...... There are two houses that look like they have been abandoned......"
Scott immediately understood that according to the description in the "original book", the two abandoned houses should be the old Gaunt House and the Riddle House.
"Come and see." Eddie handed out the panoramic telescope, "I've fixed the lens." ”
Fred took the panoramic telescope and looked at it for a moment, "Oh, I think it's the broken house in the bushes, and the Gaunt family shouldn't be able to afford another big house on the hillside." ”
George snatched the panoramic telescope from his hand and looked at it, "You're right, there's a snake on the door of that broken house. ”
"Your eyes are so good, it's clear that the door of that house is full of bushes." Fred looked again, confirming what George had seen.
"Give it to me." Scott held out his hand, "I need to draw a map out." ”
"Okay." George handed the panoramic telescope to Scott.
Scott began to take a closer look at the telescope's lens.
He looked at it several times, and memorized the topographical distribution of the entire village of Little Hangelton.
"Give me a piece of parchment." He said.
Eddie helped unfold a piece of parchment and place it on the desk in front of Scott, who held the panoramic telescope in one hand and pulled out his wand with the other, resting the tip of his wand against the parchment.
As his fingers for the panoramic telescope moved backwards and forwards, black lines sprang out from under the tip of his wand and spread rapidly across the parchment.
After mapping out the rough topography of Little Hangleton, Scott's magic didn't stop.
On the parchment, inky lines spread around the tip of his wand, creating a more detailed bird's-eye view of the topography.
Eventually, the lines form some identifying words.
"It should be almost."
Scott put down his panoramic binoculars and looked at the map he had "drawn".
He reached out and pushed the map forward, "Now let's talk about where to place our lenses best and most discreetly. ”
"Here, here, here......" Eddie reached out and nodded to several places on the map near Gaunt's old house.
Fred also held out his hand, "Here, we can put the telescope on the tree." ”
"You can do it here, too." George nodded with his finger, "It's a little far, but it's safe." ”
Scott pointed to Riddle House, "It's okay to be near this abandoned mansion, because it's abandoned, so there's a chance that someone is hiding here." ”
The four of them discussed for a long time and finally decided on a plan.
Fred marked the map in red.
"A total of 7 panoramic telescopes are needed." He said to Scott, "Thankfully, you bought 10 at once." ”
Scott nodded, and took out the rest of the panoramic binoculars and placed them on the table.
"I need to think again." "If you see seven eagles grabbing seven rabbits flying through the air at once, whoever is going to notice something is wrong," he said. ”
The other three couldn't help but laugh when they thought about that scene.
"Wait until evening." "Nobody will see it after dark." ”
Scott took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "Let's go to dinner first, and then go to the Forbidden Forest to operate, otherwise the scene of 7 eagles grabbing 7 rabbits and leaving Hogwarts Castle will definitely attract onlookers." ”
He received all seven panoramic binoculars into his deformed lizard skin pouch, "Put the rest here, including the one that has already been used." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out his wand and turned the eagle back into an ebony block.
Fred waved his wand and extinguished all the candles on the table.
"Fluorescent flickering."
Several men left the studio with their wands lit with a lighting spell.
After closing the door, they walked over to the slide, found their worn-out broomsticks, and began to fly up the long slide.
"I haven't asked yet." "Even if we get a picture of the scene, what do we do? Those shots can't be dumped, edited, or played elsewhere. ”
He exclaimed, as if suddenly realized, "Isn't there no way to make money like this?" ”
"Did you just find out?" Scott couldn't help but laugh.
"In this matter, making money is not our purpose," Fred said. ”
George answered, "We just want to know if the witch and the demon king will show up, if they will fight. ”
"You haven't even thought about making money?" Eddie was visibly surprised.
He turned to look at Scott flying behind him, "What about you, Scott?" ”
"I don't have anything to do." Scott said, "Are we going to sell all the telescopes that are recorded?" That's not a lot of money. ”
Eddie was obviously a little unacceptable, "Why do you do these things if you can't make money?" ”
Only Eddie's purpose is the purest thing, and he came to make money in the first place.
Scott and the Weasley twins, though both aware of it, did not warn him.
"Because it's fun, of course!" Fred and George said in unison.
Scott gave a different answer, "To spy on the intelligence." ”
"If you can't make money, it's pointless!" "Not to mention the risks!" ”
Until the group returns to the third-floor hallway of the castle through the one-eyed hunchback witch statue, Eddie is still chattering.
He convinces Scott and the Weasley twins to abandon their plans.
"The risk of this is not small, and if someone finds out, it may cause us huge problems." "It's not interesting, and we don't need ......information about it," he said.
Both Scott and the twins were a little overwhelmed by him.
"Okay, I'll find a way to make you money." Scott reluctantly said, "I'm studying the magic circuit in the panoramic telescope." ”
He originally planned to do this, and if he could figure out the magic circuit in the panoramic telescope, he might be able to extract the images stored in it and sell them in other forms.
It's just that I didn't say it because I wasn't completely sure, but I didn't expect to be nagged by Eddie.
When Eddie heard Scott's words, he immediately understood what he meant, and was immediately overjoyed, "Then I'll leave it to you!" Be sure to research it! ”
Fred said to Scott, "We're also interested in the magic circuit in the telescope!" ”
"But there's no way we can take it apart." George said, "If you have to take it apart, the magic circuit inside it will definitely self-destruct." ”
Scott nodded, "I understand, I'm trying to get around the restrictions with my magic perception, and I'm already a little bit of an eyebrow." ”
Fred and George were also excited when they heard this, and they both reached for Scott's shoulders and looked at them with burning eyes.
Scott hurriedly broke away from them, "Okay, I see, if I can get this set of magic circuits, I will share them with you." ”
"Great!"
"Cool!"
Fred and George high-five each other.
"I've got a lot of inspiration!"
"Me too!"
"With this set of magic circuits, we can invent a lot of fun things."
"I can't wait!"
Their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to get together and talk about it.
After dinner in the auditorium, the four of them came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"Wait."
Scott stopped abruptly and looked up at the already dark sky.
"Hagrid and Miss Graplan are in the forest, let's wait a little before we go in."
Eddie asked curiously, "What are they doing?" ”
"Are you dating?" Fred asked.
"I feel like throwing up." George said.
"It's not dating, they're not together." Scott said, closing his eyes, "What magical beast is Hagrid with, it should be a centaur?" Miss Graplane is with that Thestrals, supposed to be a walk? ”
He was only guessing that neither the centaurs nor Thestrals would ever come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"Let's get out of here first."
Scott turned and walked the other way.
"I'll take you around them, whether it's Hagrid or Miss Graplan, it's troublesome to see us enter the Forbidden Forest."
Fred said unconcernedly, "Hagrid will stop us, but Miss Grapeland will not." ”
"We've met her several times, and she hasn't criticized us." George said.
"If you can avoid it, avoid it, after all, they are all teachers." Scott led them into the Forbidden Forest and began to circle them.
In his opinion, he would rather meet Hagrid than bring down the elusive witch of Graplan.
Although Grapeland is a good talker, it may be out of instinct that Scott tries to avoid dealing with her.
He led the three of them around the locations of Hagrid and Graplan, and gradually descended into the Forbidden Forest to a small lake.
"Here it is."
He took out the panoramic telescope and placed it on the ground, and began to dig out the ebony blocks that had been used to deform.
He began to conceive new "characters" in his mind.
This time, the "character design" will be made in 7 parts, although it can be roughly the same, but due to the different tasks of each individual, some small differences are still needed.
And this time's "character design" is more complicated than the last time.
The eagle in charge of the scout only had to memorize the route and fly over Little Hangerton.
The eagles in charge of this mission not only need to remember that the observation points they have set to prevent and hide the panoramic telescope, but also need to turn on the switch of the panoramic telescope when the day comes.
This kind of "character design" just to complete the task seems much simpler than Rimbaud, but at least it needs to be logically self-consistent.
All in all, it took Scott a lot of time.
The other three knew what he was doing, and didn't argue with him, just stood by and held their wands to illuminate him.
Scott confirmed that the "persona" in his brain was correct after confirming that the "persona" in his mind was correct.
The wand in his hand waved repeatedly, and the light of the transformation spell shrouded the wooden blocks one after another, and the wooden blocks began to transform one after another.
Soon, 7 almost identical eagles appeared in front of him.
"Go, warriors, and accomplish your mission."
Scott smiled and waved.
Seven eagles chirped a few times, grabbed a panoramic telescope and flew off.
Soon, they flew out of the forest and into the night.
