The north wind is bitter, and the weather is cold. The snowflakes are thinning out.

"Whew! The snow is finally getting lighter! ”

Shaking the snowflakes off his coat, Rosie let out a long breath.

However, in the next second, another cold wind blew in the face.

Even if she deliberately gave up her beautiful skirt in order to resist the cold and changed into a thick cotton and linen dress, and hid her supple hair completely in the hood, she still couldn't help but shiver under the biting cold wind.

"This is a broken game, is it really good to make the environment so realistic?"

Walking on the ice lake, feeling the coolness that penetrated into his body along the gap between his collars and the cold air transmitted upward from the ice under his feet, Rosie couldn't help but complain.

That's right, the place where she is now is a large-scale online holographic game called "Harry Potter: Age of Wizarding" launched by an unknown game manufacturer in the Blue Star Super United States.

In this era of holographic games, Harry Potter Age of Magic is not an outstanding game, and the only thing that can be called unique is the fact that the environment is 100% realistic.

But this is not a point that can attract the average player.

And Rosie, since she heard about this game from someone else, has been immersed in this game.

That's not to say that she loves the game much, but for a particular reason.

Following the trend of the 21st century, Rosie, who just held the tablet and watched the drama, became one of the vast number of traversers in a daze.

In the past five years in Lanxing, she has gone from wanting to go home at the beginning, slowly turning into homesickness, and finally becoming homesick by accident as time passes.

This is undoubtedly also a form of torture.

Although a mid-level game controller, Rossi fits well into this era of holographic games.

But she occasionally misses the novels, movies, and entertainment variety shows she once chased.

It wasn't until she heard the name of this game that she remembered the famous IP of "Harry Potter" that she was familiar with before the crossing, and the longing for her hometown in her heart was aroused again.

Harry Potter, a masterpiece that has never appeared in Blue Star, was directly made into a holographic game!

Is it a fellow countryman from Earth?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Whatever the case, Rossi felt the need to investigate.

However, after some searching, she found no clue other than a sales channel that she didn't know anything about: not only did she not find any information about the producer of Harry Potter, but she also couldn't find the address of the game's publishing company.

In the age of the explosion of information floods, this is undoubtedly an incredible phenomenon.

In this case, Rosie, who has failed to investigate in reality, can only hope for the game and try to find something in the game.

After all, if there is such a fellow on earth, he created this game, and there is no reason not to experience it for himself.

So she immersed herself in the game world, investigating the clues of the game and trying to level up in order to get more information about the game.

But the world seemed to play a joke on her.

Although the name of this game is "Harry Potter Age of Magic", and the world view of wizarding Muggles is almost the same as the IP of "Harry Potter" before the time travel, there is no Harry Potter in this world.

If it weren't for the descriptions of high-level players in the forums about Hogwarts, and the fact that many wizarding NPCs had spoken of Dumbledore's name, Rosie would have thought that this was just a wonderful coincidence.

With the last glimmer of hope, after reaching level 22 and barely able to deal with some monsters outside the novice village, she immediately set out on her way to Hogwarts.

……

With his left hand tightening his collar and facing the cold wind that hit again, Rossi walked eagerly towards the cliff-topped British castle in the north.

Creak!

As Rossi stepped on it, the ice cracked with a clatter.

"Oops, here we go again!"

Feeling the change under her feet, she frowned a little depressedly, and her toes lightly touched the ice that was about to break, and the whole person fell lightly to the side.

As soon as she landed, she pulled her wand from the wand pouch on her left waist, pointing warily at the cracked ice.

However, the lake only churned for a moment before it gradually calmed down, and in this cold weather, a layer of frost was visible to the naked eye on the black ice holes.

"Huh? Gave up the attack? ”

Rosie watched with some confusion, and just let his guard down, only to see the thin layer of ice shatter.

In the next second, a dark green strip emerged from the lake, slashing at her head like a long whip with the momentum of wind and thunder.

Because the snowflakes are not as dense as before, Rosie, who has been harassed by this "long whip" many times, finally sees it clearly this time.

It wasn't some magical plant she had guessed, but the massive tentacles of a squid.

Unable to dodge when the tentacles broke through the ice, Rossi, knowing that he could no longer dodge the opponent's attack range, had to raise his wand upwards:

"Armor protection!"

An umbrella-like arcing barrier emanated from the tip of the wand, and then struck the head blow of the giant tentacle.

With a "pong" sound, the defensive magic of this iron armor spell was instantly shattered, and the tentacles full of suction cups were also bounced back by the magic that exploded in that instant.

Shocked by the force that bounced back from the wand, his aching hands couldn't rest, and Rosie waved his wand again to point at the tentacles that were about to fall into the ice.

"There are many obstacles!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"There are many obstacles!"

The obstacle spell that could be stored three times at the same time was all cast by her in an instant, and seeing that the tentacle retracted its movement slowed down, Rosie flicked her wand again.

"The flames are blazing!"

With a clear drink, seven or eight orange fireballs suddenly appeared with an explosion-like sound, and smashed heavily on the tentacles that were about to retreat into the lake.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Rosie was waiting for the spell to take effect, when there was a sudden loud noise in the lake, followed by a turmoil on the soles of her feet.

This is the movement of the thick ice surface being hit by the squid, and it is clear that it intends to directly break through the ice after being burned by the flames, allowing the prey to fall into the water and then clean up.

"This monster has a very high IQ!"

Rossi chuckled, and her slender figure quickly regained its balance from the shaking, and then stepped the surface of the lake with her toes, and the whole person jumped forward.

As she jumped up, she took out a broomstick with a somewhat tattered appearance.

"Broken broomstick: speed 25 km/h, since the broom is already in tatters, for safety, this broom is limited to three meters in altitude and can be used for 30 minutes every hour."

Just as Rossi flew out, a giant squid jumped out of the lake with the ice that had burst open.

Finding that the prey that had injured itself seemed to want to escape, it immediately rolled up a few ice cubes with its tentacles and smashed it at Rossi.

Hearing the sound of breaking the air, Rosie, who knew that his flying skills were not dexterous enough, immediately pressed the broom hard in the direction of the ice in front of him, and his upper body was completely on the broom.

The next second, almost grazing the edge of the flying ice, she dodged it in the nick of time, and then a tumble stood on the ice.

At this time, the giant squid behind him had already caught up.

"Squid: Level 30, a behemoth living in the Great Lake on the south side of Hogwarts......"

"What bad luck!" Thinking of the introduction of this squid in the game forum, Rosie couldn't help but mutter.

Although the level of this monster was much higher than hers, there was no panic on Rosie's face.

I saw her deftly dodge and run on the ice, avoiding the attack of one ice block after another.

Seeing that the giant squid following behind him was getting farther and farther away from the ice cave that had been broken before, Rosie suddenly turned around, and drew a circle in the void with his wand in his hand:

"Hurry up and be imprisoned!"

As the spell was completed, an orange rope of magic appeared out of thin air, binding the giant squid's torso and tentacles in an instant.

The next moment, Rosie raised his wand and pointed at the bulging eyes of the squid's head: "Flying sand and stones!" ”

"Bang!"

As the giant squid struggled desperately and was about to break free from the bondage of the Forbidden Spell, a pale blue cyclone suddenly exploded in front of its eyes, and blue-green blood splattered up.

The intense pain caused the giant squid to wriggle frantically and twist, and the orange magic rope was broken inch by inch in an instant.

Then, freed from its restraints, it jumped up on the spot, and before its body hit the ground, its eight tentacles smashed into the ice with a bang.

"Oh no, we can't let it escape back into the water!"

Seeing this, Rossi's heart sank, and the wand in his hand pointed at the other party from afar:

"Except for your weapons!"

A continuous stream of red light burst out from the tip of the wand, and the disarming spell that switched the output mode surged towards the giant squid like a torrent.

The giant squid, which was trying to return to the lake, slid uncontrollably against the ice under the magical impact of the disarming spell.

"The flames are blazing!"

As soon as he pushed the squid away, Rossi immediately turned his wand, and the fire spell that had cooled down was cast again in an instant.

The fireballs burning with raging flames landed on the giant squid's head one after another, and most of its health had already dropped by half, because its weakness was attacked one after another, and its health was emptied in an instant.

"Whew, it's finally solved!"

Rosie breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the materials dropped by the giant squid and loaded them into her inventory.

After a moment's rest, she turned her gaze to her destination again, and at this moment, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was close at hand.

It seems that the castle itself is endowed with some kind of magic, and the closer you get to Hogwarts, the more oppressive and tense this huge castle can be.

"No wonder the new students in Harry Potter had to take this path to Hogwarts, and this pressure from the building itself was a test for those new students, right?"

Rosie muttered to herself, bowing her head through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff to an open entrance that covered an area of a thousand square meters.

Shaking off the thin snowflakes on his body, Rossi raised his eyes to look at the stone walls on either side of the entrance.

I saw some kind of irregular lines carved on the stone wall, and these lines converged on the rock above my head, forming a set of fancy but not difficult to identify words - fireplace.

It's clearly between the rocks and cliffs, and it has nothing to do with the equipment for heating the fire, but it has the name of a "fireplace", and if you change the person who comes into contact with it for the first time, you will definitely feel puzzled.

But Rosie, who has experienced more than 100 hours of games and seen many strange "fireplaces", is no longer surprised by this:

The "fireplace" lit up in the system's Floo Net panel is equivalent to the game's portal and resurrection point.

Rosie stretched out her hand and swiped into the void, and a virtual interface that only she could see immediately appeared in her field of vision.

Name: Rosie (Because she was in a complicated mood when she entered the game, she just changed her name slightly when she came up with the name, and then clicked to confirm it.) ）

Grade: 22

Race: Human (Half-Blood Wizard)

Identity: Ministry of Magic Probationary Agent (Level 3)

Basic Attributes:

Strength: 32

Dexterity: 44

Constitution: 39

Intelligence: 57

Spirit: 48

Points Remaining: 0

Wand: Pear Wand (+2)

Skimming over the other data and options, Rosie flicked between his fingers and clicked on the interface of Floo.com.

A huge map that was almost shrouded in fog appeared in front of her eyes in an instant, and only the path she had taken all the way to Hogwarts was clearly visible, except for Godric's Hollow, the novice village where she was born, and the Ministry of Magic in Westminster City, where she had visited once when she had obtained her identity occupation.

At this time, on the map of Floo.com, a green point of light flickered incessantly at the underground docks of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which had dispelled the fog due to his arrival.

Click to activate.

Rosie skillfully lit up the light spot in this location, so that she could use the fireplace as a waypoint to teleport to Hogwarts using Floo Powder.

As soon as the fireplace was activated, several rapidly rotating green flames suddenly appeared in the open space not far away.

"Other players are coming?" Rosie muttered in his heart, but he didn't have any extra thoughts.

After all, she was not the first to enter the game, and compared to most of the main players, Rossi's level is not very high, and as far as the top 100 of the current level ranking is concerned, the lowest level player has already reached level 35.

As the swirling green flames subsided, three players, two men and one woman, emerged from where the flames had vanished.

Although they were neatly dressed and the equipment on their bodies looked normal, the unhappiness and depression mixed with their expressions were visible to a discerning person at a glance.

"What mission did they fail?"

Maybe it's because the identity of the detectives has done too much, and Rosie, who is passing by them, subconsciously makes a simple guess in his heart.

"The male player wearing the western hat, with a wand pouch on the right side and a pistol on the left waist, should be an explorer whose original race is a human (half-blood wizard), looking at where his wand and guns are worn, well, it's a physical output type...... Well, it's not ruled out that he's added a left-hander, but it's unlikely......"

Thinking of this, her eyes turned to another male player.

I saw that he was carrying a shotgun behind his back, and there were guns hanging on the left and right sides, and when he saw Rosie's gaze, he immediately looked at Rosie with a scrutinizing gaze, and saw that Rosie was just a female player who didn't seem to be of a high level, so he turned his head and talked to his teammates.

"Can you equip three weapons at the same time, is it a hunter of the original race of human (Muggle)?" Rossi thought to herself, "It's very rare to choose this born player. ”

Just as he was thinking, he saw that after a short exchange between the three of them, the female player with a translucent pearl white body quickly chased after Rossi.
