Chapter 44: The Demon King's Teaching, Halloween Eve
"How? Do as I say, and it works. ”
As soon as Clark got into the journal, Tom saw the irrepressible joy on his face.
"So throw away your indifferent morals and good and evil, magic is never something that the Virgin in the church can understand.
Our predecessors regarded life as ants at the beginning. Freedom is the ultimate meaning of shamans, and the so-called 'love' is like a shackle that only binds our hearts and prevents us from being freed. ”
Clark nodded, as if agreeing with him, "Indeed, according to the method you said, I was the first to complete the task in the Transfiguration class, and I was praised by the professor for my success. The right use of magic is right, and the evil is evil, and it has nothing to do with him. ”
What Voldemort didn't know, of course, was that in that lesson, Clarke, who had successfully gained a wave of experience points, exchanged for a psychic transformation system's [Secondary Matter Refactoring] ability.
[Secondary Matter Refactoring]: Level 2 ability, consumes 3 ability points. You can release your psychic energy, go deep into the interior of matter, and initially change the shape of matter. (Note: This change is irreversible, if you want to revert, please re-release the ability, and it is difficult for this ability to take effect on structurally stable matter, such as rock, steel, hard wood, etc., please use it sparingly and release it multiple times.) )
It was with this that he was able to successfully complete the task in class, and it had nothing to do with Voldemort's teachings.
However, he wouldn't say it and slap the other person in the face, and in the days that followed, he asked Voldemort some questions about other classes.
There are those made of potions, those that are released by spells, and even astronomical phenomena and magical history.
And Voldemort is worthy of being Voldemort, and he waits for every question to be able to say something.
During this time, Clark didn't ask anything about the dark arts, because that would be too hasty and abrupt.
Just as Voldemort wanted to use small talk and guidance to lower Clark's vigilance, for Clark, he is now playing a utilitarian teenager, and he is not lowering the other party's vigilance in reverse.
And even if Clark doesn't take the initiative to ask, Voldemort, who wants to use the "Taiyi Ritual" blood sacrifice to resurrect, will slowly teach him relevant magical knowledge, as if he is now teaching him some dark magic concepts in order to tempt Clark to fall.
The pleasant campus life passed day by day, and under Tom's "heart" teaching, Clark mastered some theoretical knowledge of magic more thoroughly.
At the same time, his brain defense technique has become more and more proficient and refined in front of this little dark lord who is proficient in the regent's mind, and because of his frequent use.
But the current situation is not what Tom Liddell wants, he is not here to be a teacher, but the cautious Clark has always made him unable to start, except for the school curriculum and knowledge, he is not very interested in other things, so Tom can only wait for the opportunity.
In this way, October is gradually coming to an end, and November is just around the corner.
On Halloween morning, the owls poured into the Great Hall with the third issue of the Hogwarts Magazine, a sight that young wizards were accustomed to.
It's just that the quiet life of Hogwarts has led to no explosive headlines on the front page of this issue, all trivial things, and Clark has finally experienced the feelings of the media who like to exaggerate words.
For journalists, nothing serious happens, and it is often the most serious thing.
Fortunately, with the release of three issues of the magazine, the sales of magic cards reached a new high, and several of them made a lot of money, and after George and Fred wrote a few gameplay guides, the young wizards of Hogwarts have already begun to get started with this fresh card battle game.
As the saying goes, the more you eat, the more you love, this is precisely the time when they are addicted to it.
The popularity of the game cards, even with the background stories of the cards in the magazine, Clark's studio around the characters and factions in the cards, began to create bold creation, the fantasy and magnificent magic continent - Ferron, began to show the tip of the iceberg in front of the eyes of the little wizards.
Even, their magazine has received some fanfiction and letters created by young wizards, piled up in a large box.
Ah, by the way, with the help of Professor Lockhart (Kim Garon), their magazine managed to get an abandoned classroom and turn it into an office.
At the same time, a third-grade Ravenclaw senior was recruited as a clerk, responsible for some calculations and statistics. Clark has also seen the beautiful senior sister named Cho Zhang, who is really beautiful, at least a little better than the movie version, and it is no wonder that Cedric and Harry can be charmed at the same time.
With the help of this senior sister who is proficient in arithmetic, Hermione's burden is much easier, and she has more energy to take over Clark's work, after all, the school magazine is just a small piece of the puzzle in its layout, and he can't do everything himself.
In the evening, the Halloween dinner season officially begins, and even in the corridor in front of the Great Hall, the little wizards can smell the sweet and enticing smell of roasted pumpkin.
"It smells so good!" Neville, who was sitting on Clark's left hand, couldn't help but sniff vigorously, "Clark, I'm hungry. ”
After this period of help in the magazine, he is now completely on the side of Clark and them, and after the investigation, Clark taught him the knightly cultivation method he had obtained in France.
It was a treasure of the Countess Coyla's family, and if it hadn't been for Clarke's great help, she might not have been able to get it.
Although as a wizard, Neville couldn't have practiced any iron-blooded fighting qi like their bald butler, but the tricks and methods of tempering the flesh in the cultivation method were still very useful for enhancing physical fitness, which could be regarded as preparing for his next transfer.
In Clark's conception, a standard combat squad should include three roles: combat, law, and support.
Among them, his [Psychic Warlock] as the existence of a panacea, can add states, control, heal, and attack, and should be in the position of support.
And Hermione, as a girl, is smart and smart, and Clark is ready to let her turn into a mage profession and take the output route.
Therefore, the remaining front-row melee position is only held by Neville. Known as the legendary "Gryffindor Juggernaut", Neville has a tough and trustworthy personality, making him a good choice to absorb damage as a front-row tank.
Of course, Clark hasn't told him about this yet, but after last semester's contact, Neville now has absolute trust in Clark.
He believed that Clark would not harm himself, so he would do whatever Clark said, and he would practice whatever he was asked to practice.
Because the knight training method has begun to work recently, his appetite has also increased greatly, and he can easily get hungry.
"Wait a minute, I think the dinner should start right away." Clark looked around as he soothed Neville.
Honestly, this is his second Halloween at Hogwarts.
As at the beginning of the school year, the four long tables were densely packed with students from the four colleges.
The entire auditorium is lit up with lights and candles, and it looks very lively.
Hundreds of live bats flutter between the walls and ceilings, like low dark clouds, swarming and adding a bit of horror to the festival.
There were also huge pumpkins carved into lanterns, almost large enough for three people to sit in.
Hermione noticed the big pumpkins as well.
"It's the Expansion Charm, and it looks like Hagrid did a good job." She was a little unimpressed, but she found it very interesting.
"Shhhh Clark quickly interrupted her and whispered in her ear, "Hagrid can't use magic, he was expelled from Hogwarts when he was in his third year, beware of this getting into trouble for him." ”
Speaking of which, the culprit who led to Hagrid's expulsion is still in Clark's suitcase, and if the price is right, maybe after using Tom, Clark can eat two more fish and get some benefits from Hagrid.
And just as the two of them were chatting, all kinds of delicacies suddenly appeared on the golden plate in front of them.
There's sweet toasted pumpkin pie, caramel apples coated in sugar, almond cookies that look like human fingers, and eerie-looking witch soup pasta.
Clark rolls up some pasta with a fork and stuffs it into his mouth.
Courageous thyme, memories-filled rosemary, delicious chicken soup, refreshing lemon juice, fragrant nutmeg, sweet and sour tomatoes, cold and tough celery, and passionate beetroots......
A variety of vegetables and spices danced in his mouth, as if it were a mysterious and fantastical witch party.
"It is said that Professor Dumbledore has invited a skeleton dance troupe to perform later!"
Seamus, who sat across from them, nibbled on a large chicken leg as he uttered the gossip he had heard.
Neville was battling a resilient roast pie when something flashed behind him and startled him.
It was a moving white skeleton, so close that even the ribs and spine could be seen clearly.
It's the Skull Dance Troupe that Seamus just mentioned!
Clark reacted immediately, and he saw a dozen skeletons with musical instruments and Mexican ethnic decorations pass through the long table, let out all sorts of oozing weird laughs, and then walked to the front desk.
"Wow......" The little wizards in the hall immediately let out a burst of screams.
The skeletons walked up to the stage, and in addition to the bass, there were drummers, guitarists, keyboardists, and a lead singer, and the rest, all holding some sand mallets, were supposed to be backing dancers.
Without exception, they were not living people, but skeletons.
"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore was the first to stand, "Welcome to our friends from afar. ”
With him taking the lead, teachers and students also began to applaud.
The skeleton lead singer held the guitar and bowed in all four directions, and then the performance began:
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts."
"Teach us knowledge,"
"Whether we are old men......"
The first piece they played was the Hogwarts school song.
In this familiar melody, the young wizards below quickly sang along, which brought the whole banquet to a climax.
The eager banquet lasted for more than two hours.
The little wizards were very happy, and the music played by the band of skeletons seemed to have a wonderful incitement that could make everyone feel passionate.
Even Hermione, who was quieter, began to shake her body to the music.
"That's pretty good music, isn't it?" She shouted loudly in Clark's ear.
Clark nodded, he wasn't much affected by the singing, he did have a strong urge to show off when he first heard it, but that emotion was quickly suppressed by him.
It seems that his Occlumency, which has been practiced very well.
So he had the heart to lean into Hermione's ear and tell her about the origin of the band of skeletons.
"Actually, only the lead singer of this band, Héctor, is a real undead, and the other skeletons are just controlled by wizards.
It is said that Héctor had previously been the heir to a wizarding family in Mexico, but his family did not understand his musical dreams, so he ran away from home and wandered around.
As a result, his family did not add him to the family tree until his death.
According to the Day of the Dead customs, a ghost who is not remembered by his family will not be able to return to the land of the dead, so he can only travel around the world as a forgotten spirit, hoping to resist the death of his soul with fame. ”
After listening to the tragic experience of the undead lead singer Hector, and then watching his passionate performance on stage, Hermione couldn't help but sigh for this undead who had to pursue his dreams when he died.
But there was always an end to the good times, and eventually, Professor Dumbledore waved his wand, and everyone in the hall recovered, and the band of skeletons quietly left.
"Great night, right?" Dumbledore smiled and said, "But now, everyone may have to go back to rest!" ”
The students began to stream out, and many were blushing with excitement.
On the way back to the tower, Hermione was still talking to Clark about the party that had just happened.
"It's a pity that Harry and Ron are both going to Nick's death party, and I haven't been to the party of the dead, so I don't know what it will be like."
Hearing Hermione's words, Clark almost couldn't help but laugh, but luckily he didn't.
"I don't think there must have been any Skull performances at that party, and of course, it was said that they didn't prepare food for the living."
Neville, who had been following them, laughed, "That's too bad! Tonight's dinner was delicious. ”
At this moment, Clark couldn't hold back any longer, and the three of them laughed out loud.
