With a decision in mind, Rosie cautiously leaned towards the hallway.
She planned to start with the eight rooms on the first floor and search the castle carpet.
However, to her laughter, none of the doors of these rooms could be opened.
What's going on? Is there no condition to be met? So you can't open it?
Seeing that the old wooden doors were not damaged in the slightest under the impact of the blasting spell, Rossi had to bow to reality and walk towards the end of the hallway instead.
Isn't it said that the castle is overrun by magical creatures? What about magical creatures? Inside those sealed rooms?
Muttering to herself, she came to the end of the hallway.
It was a square stairwell of about thirty square meters, with a zigzag staircase that swirled upwards into a darkness in which no light was visible.
As Rossi looked up, the darkness on the top floor suddenly flooded downward.
It's a volcant bat again?!!
In a flash of thought, she subconsciously raised her wand and pointed upwards.
"Calling God Guard!!"
The silver rabbit leaped out of the front of the wand, and with a hard kick on its hind legs, it jumped up against the lying bat.
The falling lurking bat hovered abruptly in the air, and then it flew upwards at a faster speed than it had fallen, sliding into the top side and disappearing without a trace.
Just when Rossi thought that the dark creatures had been completely banished, her eyes suddenly darkened.
As if the lights had been turned off, the light that had been thrown into the castle from outside was suddenly extinguished.
What's going on? What's going on out there?
As she thought, she looked out the window through the silver light of the Patronus Charm.
The fog, thick enough to keep out the sunlight, filled the window, and faintly, she seemed to see something walking in the fog.
"Isn't it the territory of the Thunderbird out there? What kind of monster is that?
It can cause a fog that blocks sunlight, whether it's Defense Against the Dark Arts class or Magical Beast Protection class, it's not mentioned at all, dog planning, this question is out of the program! ”
Very speechless, Rosie no longer bothered with the monsters outside, and turned his gaze back.
The most important thing now was the issue of lighting, because as soon as the Patronus Charm was stopped, her eyes would immediately go black.
"What should I do if fluorescent flickering doesn't work, I can't take out the lantern in my backpack, and I can't take effect on equipment with night vision?"
Looking around, a bold idea suddenly sprung up in Rossi's mind.
If you want to solve the lighting problem, why not start with the castle itself?
Thinking of this, the wand in her hand slid abruptly and pointed at the wall directly in front of her.
Under the effect of Transfiguration, the wall brick that the tip of the staff touched instantly turned into a square white stone brick.
Immediately afterward, the invisible magic power quickly spread around this stone brick.
"One, two, three......"
Because there was darkness in front of him, Rossi could only calculate the progress of the transformation by counting the seconds.
Ten seconds later, Rossi closed her eyes and raised her wand upwards again.
"Ultimate Flash!"
The dazzling light shines instantly.
This time, instead of using the spell as a flashbang that flickered like she had done before, she held it up for half a minute.
Just as she had conceived, when she stopped the spell, she could faintly feel the light in front of her with her eyes closed.
It worked!
At this moment, the wall tiles of the castle have been completely replaced by white stones, and a soft white light emanates from above, illuminating the entire castle transparently.
It's an advanced transfiguration! Not only is the appearance the same, but even the characteristics are the same as real fluorite.
Rosie sighed and walked up the stairs.
The layout of the second floor is completely different from the first floor, and it is not known whether it was not partitioned or if it was later thought to have been demolished, but it is a large and extraordinarily spacious room.
As soon as he entered the room, the wooden door behind him suddenly shut.
Immediately afterward, a large leopard broke through the window glass and entered, hunched over and roaring at Rossi, as if it might rush at any moment.
"Cystic leopard?"
Seeing the dark green mist exhaling from its mouth, Rossi immediately thought of the name of this magical animal.
"Ding! Survive the attack of the Leopard for five minutes. ”
Hearing the system's prompts, Rossi finally knew what level he had to pass.
"Trap!"
Before he had time to think about it, Rosie immediately cast the only defensive spell that could be used.
As she turned her wand, the leopard leaped high and swooped in with a fishy wind.
With a "bang", its massive body was blocked by a magical barrier.
Seeing the fierce monster scratching wildly in front of him, the invisible barrier of the rapidly declining shield began to show cracks, and Rossi hurriedly pointed his wand forward.
"Peacefully guarded!"
As the incantation was pronounced, the cracks in the defensive barrier quickly healed again.
Seeing this, the sac poison leopard roared violently, and its two front paws were raised high, as if it was about to strike a ruthless blow.
"Retreat three feet!"
Not daring to let it attack, Rosie took a step forward, and his wand almost pressed against its body to release this pale yellow spell.
The powerful impact pushed the leopard far away.
At this time, Rossi suddenly discovered that a dark green mist was permeating the place where it had just been, and it was slowly infiltrating into the defensive range at this moment.
The breath exhaled by the sac leopard is deadly toxic!
Instantly remembering the record in the book, Rosie hurriedly stepped back.
No, you can't stay here!
Eyes glanced at the leopard who had gotten up from the ground and was hunched over to rush towards the leopard again, when Rosie immediately threw his wand towards the ground.
"Smoky!"
A thick gray mist rose from the ground, forming a fog mass with a range of about five meters in an instant, and Rossi took the opportunity to hide in it.
Out of vigilance, the sac poison leopard that was rushing forward jumped to the side with a swift figure, lowered its head and looked at the gray mist vigilantly, sniffing something vigorously with its nose.
Rossi also knew that obfuscating the public and hearing would not stop a creature with a keen sense of smell at all, and it would not work at all.
"Newt, don't fool me!"
She struggled to remember one of the many awkward dances recorded in the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, slowly approaching the edge of the gray mist.
Immediately after, her slender right leg was raised high, and she stepped out of the fog with graceful movements, and then the whole person jumped out of the gray mist with a shoulder bump.
Seeing Rosie's sudden awkward dance, the sac leopard was stunned for a moment, and gradually, its front legs began to click rhythmically and quickly, as if it was beating to the music.
It's so embarrassing! Good thing no one saw it......
Rosie danced deftly while sighing silently in her heart.
And so, after five minutes of repeated dancing, the closed wooden door creaked open.
As the wooden door opened, the leopard, which was immersed in music and dancing, seemed to be frightened, quickly stepped back, roared at Rossi in a low voice for a moment, and then turned his head and jumped out of the window where he had entered.
"Whew! It's finally time to end the awkward dance! ”
Rosie stopped and let out a long sigh, "It's hard for Newt to think of such a way. ”
