Chapter 106: Meet Lockhart Again
Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
This half month, for Rossi, is boring and thrilling, lonely and hard half a month.
Thankfully, it didn't work out in vain.
By the time she left the Hiltern Mountains, she had already caught 39 monsters.
It may be that the monster has migrated later for various reasons, or it may be that the person who wrote the book was not detailed enough.
She caught two more monsters than expected.
"Still, it's a good thing!" Rosie muttered quietly.
She planned to take a break from the wizarding village to the north, and then look further north into the Yonaien Valley.
According to Lupin, he met the Banshee, Kanigmar, and the Boggart there.
This is the place where monsters gather the most outside of the Hiltern Mountains, with more than 18 species. Unfortunately, most of them coincided with the Hiltern Mountains, and only Lupin said that she had not caught the three.
Just as she replenished the durability of her gear and tasted local specialties at the diner, a handsome man with a smile on his face quietly came to her.
Seeing Rosie raise his eyes, the man bent down very gentlemanly and saluted: "What a coincidence, Miss Rosie, can I sit opposite you?" ”
Lockhart?
Rosie, who recognized the person, was a little puzzled, but still nodded politely: "Of course, Mr. Lockhart, please take a seat!" ”
Put down the knife and fork in his hand and wait for him to take his seat: "Mr. Lockhart, why are you here?" ”
"Oh, I'm picking up my new book."
Lockhart glanced at the scenery outside the hotel with a smile, "You should know that this kind of rural village environment is very suitable as a backdrop for a story. ”
Can I say, I don't understand?
complained in his heart, and Rosie, who didn't want to embarrass the atmosphere, had to smile and nod: "Just like that, all kinds of strange events in the village are frequent, and the protagonist secretly passes on the information to lead the church...... The Ministry of Magic sent someone to investigate, and finally found that everyone in the village had already fallen into the mystery story? ”
"Wow, that's a great idea, Miss Rosie, and it looks like you're a good writer."
Lockhart smiled and flattered, "If you're interested, I can recommend a publishing house to you." ”
"Don't ...... I can't write it. ”
waved his hand again and again to refuse, and Rosie said in his heart: Let me write, I will definitely not be able to earn even three Galleons a month.
"Uh...... That's a pity, but if such a good idea is created, it will definitely be a big seller. ”
Lockhart grimaced with a regretful expression.
"Mr. Lockhart thinks the idea can be used if it works."
Anyway, no one in this world will sue you for plagiarism.
As he spoke, Rosie muttered silently.
"Really, that's great!" Harlott had a look of surprise on his face, "And what should I call this story?" ”
"You are the creator, and you have to worry about the naming of the work!"
Rosie smiled and thought to herself: Anyway, don't call it the Circle of Fate.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Lockhart asked casually, "Miss Rosie, have you caught enough monsters for practical classes?" ”
"It's a little worse."
"That's great! Belch...... I didn't mean that, I mean, maybe I can do you a small favor. ”
With a wave of his hand, he conjured a large iron cage covered in black cloth, "I don't think you've been to Condorwall yet." ”
With his wand flicking the black cloth upwards, a group of Convarshire elves who saw the light began to chirp.
Well? What does he mean by that?
Rosie was stunned for a moment, this kind of elf unique to Convorshire was indeed a kind of monster she could use, because of the geographical location, she had planned to make another trip to Condorwall County one last time, but she didn't expect Lockhart to send it.
"Mr. Lockhart, what are you?"
"Oh, it's just a little thanks."
Lockhart bared his standard eight teeth, "After all, Miss Rosie gave me a brilliant idea, and I deserve to reciprocate." ”
Covering the iron cage with a black cloth again, he smiled and said, "You put it away, for this weak monster, I can catch a lot of them at will." ”
"Hmm...... Thank you very much! ”
Seeing him say this, Rosie didn't shirk it, and grabbed the iron cage and put it at his feet.
"Ding: Cornish elves, to keep them alive, please let them roam for an hour every seven days - tips from the Cornwall Pet Store."
???
Pet store?
Quietly glancing at Lockhart, Rossi muttered to himself.
Obviously he bought it, but he claimed to be caught?
This Lockhart feels completely different from the one I met in the team book before!
He gave me the feeling that he was more and more like the parallel commodity in the original book......
In the midst of his thoughts, he saw Lockhart get up and move his chair, lean over to Rossi, and whispered:
"By the way, Miss Rosie, the last time you were in the principal's office, you said something about the mysterious man, is it true?"
Hearing this, Rossi suddenly realized in his heart: it turned out that this was his real purpose, and what kind of coincidence was clearly a long-planned routine.
What else do you say about the wind, uh...... It's true that I'm collecting wind, but the object of collecting wind is most likely me.
I'll see what you're going to do.
Rosie took a deep breath and whispered in the other party's expectant eyes, "Of course it's true, Voldemort......"
She paused suddenly, and a flash of doubt flashed in her heart:
No, that's not right! When I mentioned Peter Pettigrew to Lupin, I was immediately warned by the system, but when I told Dumbledore about the Horcrux of the Falling Demons, why didn't the system move at all?
How is this rule of the system determined? Do not disclose ...... to NPCs
Harlot, who was very frightened of the word "Voldemort", slowed down for a moment, and when he saw that she was frozen there and did not speak, he said tentatively:
"Miss Rosie, can you tell me more about him? I think if I put that in it, it will sell well. ”
After a pause, he said: "Rosie, I can take you as the second author, as if we were co-authored, and the manuscript fee received at that time, you will be seven and I will be three, huh...... Or how about you? ”
The conditions are so favorable? You didn't want to give it to me at all, did you? According to his style in the original book, I'm afraid he wants to wait for me to finish what he knows, and give me a [forget everything]?
Seeing through it or not, Rosie smiled and spoke, intending to make up a story for him.
"Miss Rosie, this is not the place to talk, let's talk somewhere else?"
As his voice fell, the system's prompt rang out.
"Ding! The famous writer Lockhart, the winner of the Order of Merlin, seems to be hiding some secrets, and following him, you may be able to discover something special. ”
