Chapter 215: Quest Changes
At the end of the countdown, a sense of weightlessness came, and the scenery changed in front of them, and the eight of them came to a rather dimly vaulted hall.
There are a total of five light sources in the vaulted hall.
In the middle is a small spring, in the center of a square fence made of white waxed birch, surrounded by eight white stone bricks that glow with specimens.
The spring water flows through the gaps in the white stone bricks onto the lawn outside the stone bricks, moistening the lawn.
The lawn sits between a birch fence and stone bricks, and is covered with small white, red, and yellow flowers that are not as big as the ends of Ralph's little fingers, but which give off the light that shines on the surrounding areas.
The spring is similar in size to a white stone brick, and the width of the lawn is similar to the width of the white stone brick.
At the wooden fence, there are also reddish-brown benches, which are very smooth and polished, and are close to the wooden fence, which should be for people to rest.
Compared to the other four light sources, this small spring is simply not worth mentioning.
But Ralph noticed it at first sight, because the smell of the white stone bricks gave him some familiarity, and if nothing else, it must have been made of powder mixed with the lost horn of unicorns.
In the other four light sources, there are four tall statues, the founders of the four academies, made of white marble, but they seem to be a little different.
Looking at the appearance of the statue, it should not be carved out, but shaped with magic. The fluorescent sparkle is estimated to depict a lot of magic in it.
Except for the Slytherin statue, which is a little unbearable to look at, the other statues are not bad, and the magic is very delicately carved, reflecting the style of each house.
The eyes of the four founders met in the air, as if telling their former friendship, and there was a little more nostalgia in their eyes, and they didn't know who designed it.
Through the light released by these decorations, people can see their surroundings clearly.
In this test, there are not a few students gathered here, and compared with the last time, there are many more.
Many students found that in the area of the statue and the spring, everyone's vision was normal. But the farther you get out of this area, the farther away you are from the statue, the more limited your vision is.
Moreover, if you look at a dark place, you will have inexplicable feelings of panic and nervousness, and the whole person's mind is easily attracted by the darkness and indulged in it.
It appears that only the area inside the statue is safe.
Like Ralph, everyone gathered together in small groups.
The professors were right in front of Ralph, with a wall behind them.
"Seeing that everyone is so interested, my old man can be regarded as relieved......"
Dumbledore clapped his hands, chattered for a while, and then let the professors lead them into the dungeon.
Due to the large number of people who came this time, many small groups were merged in pairs and handed over to a professor to lead.
Ralph and the others numbered eight, which was quite large, so Professor Flitwick didn't bring in another team.
With Ralph and the others, Professor Flitwick arrived at the Ravenclaw statue.
"Professor, do these statues serve any other purpose?"
William asked, confused. Ralph and the others looked at Professor Flitwick curiously.
"The Ravenclaw statue records your age, gender, name, grade, wand, team, and so on. Let's come here first to register the team information, you remember my operation, next time I guess you will have to come by yourself. ”
Professor Flitwick tapped his wand on the book in the statue's hand, and a curtain of light popped out. There are only two options above, which are Create Party and Personal Information.
Professor Flitwick chose to create a team, and then a temporary team. The original light curtain disappeared, and a new one appeared, and the captain's column was filled with "Professor Flitwick".
The professor waved his wand, and the curtain of light dispersed, and eight team members flew out of it and came to everyone.
At the professor's instructions, Ralph and the others curiously used their wands as a pen and filled in their names on it.
The boxes reassembled into a light curtain and flickered for a moment, before returning to Professor Flitwick, where the word "confirm" appeared, and the professor clicked.
The light curtain suddenly dispersed and turned into countless points of light, which startled Ralph and the others, as well as many of the students who were forming a team on the side. The points of light pounced on Ralph and disappeared upon contact with them.
It seems that the special effects need to be changed again, and they need to be a little more plain. ’
Seeing this scene, Professor Flitwick made a mental note of it.
"The functionality is not yet complete, and we will continue to improve it later. Now there are only these two functions, and if you want to see your personal information, you can just tap on those words with your wand. We've already recorded your information in advance. ”
Professor Flitwick explained to them.
In fact, the professors did not enter their information, it should be said that they only gave the Ravenclaw statue the corresponding permissions, and it was the right to consult the information module of the baptismal system and display it.
The flickering of the light screen just now is to check the information of the student with the information module of the baptism system.
"You have to be careful, as soon as you leave the hall, the temporary party will be disbanded, and the next time you come in, you will need to regroup. If you want to form a team, don't choose to form a team on the fly. ”
Looking at Ralph and them, Professor Flitwick said, then frowned slightly, and said:
"Long-term squad, I still recommend that you don't team up across grades."
Later, Professor Flitwick introduced the functions of other statues.
Gryffindor Statue is a list, with house lists, squad lists, individual lists, and so on, and the latter two are subdivided according to grades.
Those who rank high will be rewarded with other rewards in addition to the corresponding college.
The Hufflepuff Statue is a trading center with its own contract ability, and there is an exchange shop run by the school, where students can exchange for a free wood attribute magic crystal every week.
In addition to this, students can also hang their own transaction information on it, just for the exchange of items.
The Slytherin Statue is a quest center where quests are generated, and completing quests will give you nice rewards or improve your position on the leaderboard.
After roughly introducing the statues to the eight Ralphs, the professor waved his wand, and runes lit up under their feet, and a burst of white light flashed, and everyone couldn't stop closing their eyes and disappearing in place.

When they opened their eyes, they came to a familiar and strange place.
The ground was still visible with a reddish black ash, but more often than not, it had been replaced by a small flower.
In the safe zone, the flowers are white, so even if they are stepped on, they will neither hurt nor change color.
The small flowers outside the safe zone, which are grayish-yellow, look extremely unhealthy, as if they are about to wither.
The florets clinged to the ground, seemingly rooted in the thin ash of ash, sucking up the remaining nutrients.
"This is the Ground Flower, cultivated by Professor Sprout, to absorb the curse that has been tainted on you."
Professor Flitwick explained.
"Don't look at the yellow ones out there, they look unhealthy, but that's their normal state, and white words like these are the real malnutrition. They only absorb enough mana, but they don't have a curse....."
While the venue doesn't seem to have changed much, the rules have changed a lot.
First of all, this safe zone is no longer the only safe zone. It is one of many security zones, but it also has an important role.
This safe zone is a teleportation hub that is responsible for teleporting teams of different grades or strengths to areas that match their abilities, known as teleportation hubs.
Although everyone was still able to get out of the safe zone as usual, they couldn't go far. There is twice as much active area outside the safe zone as this safe zone.
There was also a boundary line drawn by the professors, but it was gray, hidden in the black gray. Once a student crosses that line, they will be magically teleported back to the teleportation hub, with some punishment.
Several of the plants that were originally placed in the safe area have also been relocated, and there are a total of three wand trees, corresponding to the fields of each grade.
The first floor corresponds to the first and second grades; The second floor corresponds to the third, fourth, and fifth grades; The third floor corresponds to the sixth and seventh grades.
In front of the plant is the teleportation area corresponding to the number of layers, and above the teleportation area, there is a hovering word ghost, marking the number of layers and the recommended grade.
"Let's go to the second floor."
Professor Flitwick looked at the three Snape and then at the Ralph five.
Everyone nodded, and there was no objection to the professor's arrangement.
"Remember when Hufflepuff statues could be exchanged for a free wood mana crystal every week? It's used for teleportation. For a teleportation, each person must be fed at least one thumb-sized wood attribute magic crystal. ”
Professor Flitwick said, leading the group to the teleportation area on the second floor.
"See this depression? Just throw it in, and I'll pay for it for you this time. ”
The professor said, pointing to the groove in front of the wand wood. Then he fed the plants a head-sized wood attribute magic crystal, and in a flash of light, they disappeared.
In the security area on the second floor, there are two wand trees, one to teleport back to the center and the other to teleport back to the lobby, and the teleportation fee is the same as the previous one.
The teleportation ended, and I successfully came to the second floor. In the teleportation area, everyone immediately felt a gentle force, pushing themselves towards the outside world.
"Professor, what is this?"
Some of the people who couldn't stop looked at Professor Flitwick in alarm.
"In order not to block the other people's teleportation, it stopped quickly."
Professor Flitwick explained with a smile.
"Professor? Why was that magic crystal so big just now? ”
After standing firmly, William immediately asked his own question, the magic crystal of the head just now really shocked him, Ralph and them were the same.
"Our professor also has a special area to become proficient in magic, and the monsters inside are much more powerful than what you are facing."
Professor Flitwick explained.
Everyone understood, and looked at the professor with some admiration and longing.
It didn't take long for Professor Flitwick to lead everyone out of the safe zone.
The air was a little muddy, and the sky was full of black ash, sparse but slowing everyone's breathing.
Soon, they encountered the first batch of monsters, and the number was not much, all of them were wood-attribute monsters, and it can only be said that there was the most wood garbage.
These monsters are okay, not very strong, but their speed and perception are much stronger than the first time Ralph and the others encountered.
However, this place is relatively close to the safe zone, and the monster strength is below the lowest grade of the level.
Therefore, Professor Flitwick used the [Bondage Charm] to pull four monsters from a distance, and let those who had not tried it try it first.
"It's ugly!"
Looking at the wood monster that kept approaching and being knocked away, Lily frowned and said in disgust.
"Is there one? What do I think of them? They? Also stop exquisite. ”
Pandora's aesthetic is obviously a little different from Lily's, and she is thinking about what to call these things and which pronouns to use, she is a studious girl.
"Well, it's really detailed, even the texture."
Lily said.
Snape frowned as well, and kept flying the wood monsters that were coming at him.
Unlike Snape, Lily, and Pandora, who were fourth-year wizards, Barty Jr. was observing the wood monsters in front of him with the help of William.
None of them dealt with the monster in the first place, because Professor Flitwick told them to get used to it so that they wouldn't get tired of it later.
Tired of repeating the flying motion, Snape's wand flicked upward, and his wood monster hung upside down.
Professor Flitwick on the side saw this and nodded.
This is a spell invented by Snape himself, called "Upside Down Admiralty", which allows the subject of the spell to be suspended in the air upside down.
Afterwards, Snape cast a [Petrification Charm] on the moving Wood Monster, but instead of petrifying the Wood Monster, he just took the effect of immobilizing it.
"Severus, what are you doing?"
Watching Snape's movements, Professor Flitwick hurriedly ran over and said.
"Ahh I'd like to take some monsters' body tissues back and study them to see if they can be used to make potions. ”
Snape was startled by Professor Flitwick's movements, and quickly explained.
"Oh, that's fine. You can't take this thing out, see the ashes? They become like that when they die. And Professor Sgrahorn has already tried, and you should know the results. ”
Although Professor Flitwick was outwardly relieved, his heart was still tense, and he said things against his will.
Snape nodded, and lowered the knife he had used to handle potions materials.
However, Snape's behavior also showed them some shortcomings, what if another little wizard took this thing out? It still needs to be improved.
"Okay, we should be used to it, let's get rid of them."
Back to Barty Jr., Professor Flitwick said.
With a heavy wave of her wand, Lily flew out a thick pillar of magical light, slamming the wood monster to the ground, pulling it several meters away, then turning to ashes, and Lily bouncing to get the loot.
Ralph watched in amazement.
"Professor, what kind of spell is this?"
William asked a little sluggishly.
"[Knockback Spell]."
Ralph answered questions for the professor.
"Yes."
Professor Flitwick also nodded with satisfaction, in fact, Lily was also a player he was optimistic about participating in the International Wizarding Duel Competition, but unfortunately people were not interested in this.
Compared to Lily, the other people's methods are much more gentle.
A small flame flew from the tip of Pandora's wand and landed on the wood monster, burning to ashes.
Snape waved his wand, and an invisible blade flew out, slicing the wood monster in half and then turning to ashes.
