Chapter Ninety-Four: It's All About the Test Center
However, before she could take a few steps, she stopped.
In the next second, the number of monsters that I couldn't see flew out of the door of the castle, they flew very fast, and they looked like black cloaks.
"Dementors??"
Rosie was startled at first, but then rejected.
Although the appearance is similar to the black cloak at first glance, the Dementors are dark creatures in the cloak, and the monsters in front of them look like a black cloak.
It's a volcanic bat!
The textbook "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense" contains detailed information about this magical creature.
Perhaps the appearance of the Dementors has something to do with this creature, or maybe there is some secret connection between them, the two monsters not only have similar appearances, but even the only way to deal with them is the Patronus Charm.
"Divine Guard!"
The silvery-white rabbit leaped out of the tip of its wand, and after circling Rossi, it swooped down with agility at the voldemort bats circling around.
At this moment, Rossi suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.
Instinctively standing up, she turned back suddenly, only to see a dry vine that seemed to have long since lost its vitality had quietly climbed to a place less than five meters away from her.
Seeing her turn, the vine paused as if it had a spiritual sense, but it suddenly sprang up and swept towards her like a long whip.
Man-eating vine: A carnivorous plant that is more animal-like, with spikes on the vine that pop out when there is a person nearby, roll the person up and pull them back to the roots, and then digest and absorb them. This plant usually grows in flesh and blood.
Remembering what he had read from the Carnivorous Tree, Rosie immediately stopped the Patronus Charm, pressed her toes a little harder, and moved back with a light movement.
"The flames are blazing!"
In mid-air, she habitually pointed her wand forward.
However, until she fell back to the ground, there was not a single spark from the tip of the staff.
"Oh, you can't use magic other than the spell to be examined......"
Rosie smiled bitterly, and her wand spun quickly in her hand.
"Trap!"
Invisible magic emanated from the tip of the wand, drawing a circle on the ground with the wand turning.
A defensive shield that was very different from the Iron Armor Charm and the All Plus Charm that could see the transparent shield appeared around Rossi, and it was formless, completely hiding Rossi like invisibility.
"This spell is quite a fixed range of invisibility + shield."
While he made another judgment on this defensive spell, Rosie raised his eyes and looked around.
The vine that misses the blow loses its target and launches a random attack in all directions with great speed; Losing its continuous mana output, the silver-white Patronus also dissipated in the pursuit of Voldemort bats.
Fortunately, the Patronus Charm was strong enough to deter Voldemort bats, and in just a few seconds, they scattered and fled.
At this time, Rosie noticed that the place he had just traveled had left footprints with a shimmering lilac light.
"What's that?"
Just as he was in doubt, a series of thunderbolts fell from the sky, following the flickering footprints one after another.
Fortunately, the defensive spell just released also has a good shield strength, which can withstand the two lightning strikes that come one after another.
"Thunderbird?"
Remembering the information he saw from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Rosie hurriedly pointed his wand to his feet.
"Gone!"
The place where the ptarmigan lives will form an electric shock field attached to the ground because of its long stay, and once the animal intrudes into its territory, it will be contaminated with some kind of electric shock substance, thus leaving a conspicuous trace when moving.
The Thunderbird, on the other hand, will pursue the intruder based on this trace.
Therefore, when you strayed into the Thunderbird's nest, as long as you haven't been discovered by the Thunderbird, then the Vanishing Charm is a good solution.
"It's really a test point at every step!"
Rosie muttered to himself, looked at the open castle door not far in front of him, slid open his inventory, and prepared to take out his broomstick and rush over.
But the items that can usually be reached in an instant are lying motionless in the inventory at the moment.
"No magic items may be used during the exam."
Hearing the system's prompt, Rosie bit her lip helplessly.
Get! Not only can't you use other spells, but even items are forbidden!
Rosie spit out, her wand pointing at the man-eating vine that was about to slash at her.
"Shrink down!"
Under the entanglement of white ripples, the man-eating vine quickly shrank to half of its original size, and slapped on the ground with a snap.
"Retreat three feet!"
Unlike the stun that can stun the target, the knockback spell only has a simple knockback effect, but because of the single effect, this pale yellow spell actually knocks back the shrunken man-eating vine by a full 50 meters.
Looking up at the Thunderbird that was hovering in the air searching for him, Rosie grabbed the gap with its back to him and ran briskly towards the castle.
It can only be said that Rossi grasped the timing very accurately, and this time, she ran into the castle very smoothly.
"Huh? How is the furnishings in the castle completely different from Hogwarts? ”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rosie couldn't help but be a little dazed.
The courtyard was a bit desolate and desolate, but it looked at least as bad as the exterior of Hogwarts.
But when she walked into the castle, she found that even the layout was completely different.
The first floor of the castle is divided into eight small rooms, door-to-door on either side of a corridor that is neither wide nor narrow.
At the end of this corridor, Rossi could see a stone staircase that was supposed to be more than two meters wide leading upstairs.
After a few momentary glances, she once again fixed her gaze on a portrait of a middle-aged man hanging across the door.
The portrait is covered in layers of ash, and the man is not able to move and talk like the characters in the magic portraits.
"There's a Muggle portrait here?"
After a moment of silence, Rosie finally found the source of the portrait in his memory, "Is he the Muggle patriarch who built Hogwarts Castle in the History of Magic?" Well, it should be the Percy family. ”
"So, this is the pre-school Hogwarts? Well...... there are not many references to it in the History of Magic. Built to fight the Scots and Normans, it was abandoned and overrun by magical creatures...... After the four founders of Hogwarts chose this place, they teamed up to banish the magical creatures that occupied it to the forest behind the castle, which was the original Forbidden Forest......"
Although Rosie thought about the history of the place, for now, it didn't help her exam, and she didn't even know what exactly the level she had to pass was.
"Looks like we'll have to explore this place first."
