Chapter 21: New Skills
Rosie, who was in a hurry to find Grice, changed into a maple wand.
She had just used invisibility to hide her figure and prepare to leave the dormitory, but she inadvertently saw an unfolded book on the bedside table emitting a faint black light.
In the game world, this kind of shiny book represents that players can learn skills or improve certain attributes by flipping through the knowledge in the reading.
Rosie had been all over the library before, but he had not found a single book to study. Now that she saw the skill book, how could she miss it.
With some joy and curiosity, Rosie walked briskly to the bedside table and looked down at the book.
It was then that she realized that it was not a book, but just a notebook, and it was only a transcription of a notebook.
I saw that the note reads: "Even if most wizards have a pitiful lack of knowledge of the dark arts, it will not disappear because of this." As a pure-blood wizard dedicated to the academic study of magic, it is our duty to uncover the truth.
Patriarch Greengrass believed that all magic was considered dangerous at the time of its research. Even the most basic Fire Charm, when cast by a novice, can cause fire.
The wizarding community was also the first to recognize and use some of the dark arts. As we have said, the good and evil of magic are man-made, and even if it is an unforgivable curse, there is no magic that has the power to affect the personality of a wizard or a wizard, except for the Avadaso Curse, which makes people addicted to drugs. ”
"This is a notebook on the dark arts?" Seeing this, Rosie couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, picked up the notebook from the bedside table, and complained again in her heart, "Reading books about dark arts in the dormitory so openly, you really deserve to be a student of Slytherin House!" ”
Rosie took the note in her hand, skimmed over the somewhat verbose introductions and redundant descriptions, and quickly looked through them, until she was halfway through the notes before finally seeing what she wanted to see: "Arrow of Shadow, it's actually a curse. This shadow-like black and short arrow has the autonomy to track the living, and the more people attack, the more powerful it becomes, and if it catapults a large enough person, it will be powerful enough to kill the last person on the spot or be reduced to a squib. ”
"Ding, the current system has detected black magic: Arrow of Shadows, the first time you learn this magic will not consume skill points, do you want to learn it?"
Hearing the system's prompt, Rosie excitedly chose to learn this magic.
"Shadow Arrow (Level 1): Unleashes an arrow that bounces between enemies, dealing damage and silencing enemies for one second, increasing damage by five percent for each additional projectile, and the last projectile will stun for 3 seconds, up to a maximum of 4 currently."
"The effect of this skill ......" Rosie looked at the skill description on the system panel, wrapped his fingers around the soft hair around his ear, and thought, "It looks more suitable for PK!" ”
Throwing the notebook that had been turned into an ordinary book back to the head of the bed, Rosie didn't delay any longer, added an invisibility technique to himself again, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.
After passing through the Slytherin common room, past the students who were oblivious to their invisible selves and still chatting, Rosie was once again in the main building of Hogwarts Castle.
After trotting through the first basement floor, Rossi, who had finished stealth time, was just about to pass through the small door leading to the first floor when he heard a large number of noisy footsteps in the foyer above.
It was night, and according to the current situation at Hogwarts, no students should be on the first floor at this time.
With such doubts in mind, Rosie quickened his pace and walked up the stairwell.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw the huge Hagrid and several faculty members gathered under the hourglass of the college score in the hall on the first floor, talking solemnly with a serious face.
I saw that the four scoring hourglasses, except for the hourglasses belonging to Slytherin, the hourglasses of the other three houses were all stained with bright red blood.
Seeing Rosie coming, Hagrid was about to speak, but Snape, who was next to him, took the lead and said in a cold tone: "The trainee detective lady who just arrived at Hogwarts and boasted that she could solve this secret room incident, after a day of wandering around without a trace, have you found any useful information?" ”
Rossi's original good mood was instantly dispersed by Snape's words, and after glancing at the other party speechlessly, he looked at Hagrid and complained unabashedly and asked, "What happened, this guy ate gunpowder?" ”
"Uh......" Hagrid's face froze, and he glanced at Snape, whose face instantly became several times colder, before replying to Rossi, "There was another attack here, this time it was two students." When we found them, their bodies had been turned into stone statues. ”
"Two students?" Rosie was shocked when she heard this, and thought of Grace saying that she was in a hurry to save people, and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?" Is there a Grice?"
"Grice?" Hagrid repeated the last name in confusion, then shook his much larger head than the average person and said, "The petrified ones are Colin Creevey and Dean Thomas of Gryffindor, who have been taken to the school hospital by Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. ”
"School hospital?" Rosie vaguely remembers this plot in the movie, "Then why don't you go?" ”
"Humph!" Snape snorted coldly and looked at Rosie with a puffed nose, "Why don't we go?" That's a good question, why don't you wait for us to ask your colleagues at the Ministry of Magic, why do we have to stay here like fools and wait to receive the students when their fate is unknown? ”
"Uh......" Hearing Snape's words, Rossi instantly understood that the Ministry of Magic had sent someone else, and they were waiting to receive each other.
Just as he was embarrassed, he saw the gate of the castle suddenly pushed open, and several figures walked in quickly.
The leader was a stocky man in a pinstriped suit and a dark green top hat, followed by a haughty blonde man and several Aurors in Ministry of Magic uniforms.
"Minister Fudge?" Snape stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Why are you here yourself?" ”
Then he looked at the blonde man and asked with a strange expression, "Lucius, why are you here too?" ”
"It's too bad I have to come." Minister of Magic, Fudge took off his top hat and tucked it between his arms, looked at Snape and sighed.
Lucius, who was next to him, waited for Fudge to finish speaking, and then said with a little smugness, "I'm here to announce the decision of the school board, Severus." Do you know where Dumbledore is? ”
"School Board?" Snape looked at Lucius with a look of surprise, joy, and pitiful eyes, and said lightly, "Lucius, you shouldn't have done this. ”
"It's about us and Dumbledore, Severus." Lucius said with something to say.
"And my business? You guys? ”
As he spoke, Dumbledore and McGonagall walked in, only to see Dumbledore first nod to Fudge, then look at Lucius and say, "Who do you represent?" Malfoy? ”
Originally, when Rossi saw Dumbledore, he wanted to open his mouth to tell what he had investigated, and use Dumbledore's hand to get rid of the basilisk and end the copy, but when he heard Dumbledore's words that seemed to contain Death Eaters, Rosie, who suddenly had the heart to watch the play, immediately closed his mouth and stood aside to watch the play.
Lucius Malfoy glanced at Fudge, who was pale, and then spoke again, "Of course it's our twelve school trustees!" ”
As he spoke, Lucius took out a long roll of parchment from his cloak and said slowly, "This is a recall order, and all twelve of our directors have signed it. The attacks have happened one after another, and you have never been able to prevent them, so we all agree that you have failed to do your duty as a principal. ”
After a pause, he showed a triumphant look again, and chuckled, "Dumbledore, you have been deposed!" ”
"You can't let Dumbledore go, and Hogwarts can't live without Dumbledore!" Hearing Lucius's words, Hagrid spoke loudly and took two steps forward.
"Calm down, Hagrid." Dumbledore indifferently persuaded Hagrid, and then said to Lucius, "I will give up the headmaster's position, but only when everyone here betrays me, I will really leave the school, and even if I leave now, I believe that I will come back again soon." ”
With that, Dumbledore glanced back at Severus, paused his gaze on Rossi for a moment, and then left with a smile on his face.
"Dumbledore?!" Moments before Dumbledore's back completely disappeared, Hagrid couldn't help but shout.
"Huh?" It wasn't until he heard Hagrid's voice that Rosie suddenly realized that he was watching the theater and watched from the sidelines, but he had lost the main combat power he expected.
