Actually bounced the prompt?
Is this going to make me a fighter against counterfeiting?
With a grumble, Rossi got up to settle the bill, and then followed Lockhart out of the village.
Walking along the bluestone paved path, the village gradually moved away, and the road led by Lockhart became more and more deviant.
"Where are we going?" Rosie asked deliberately.
"Hmm...... You can do it here. β
Turning back to look in the direction of the village, Lockhart smiled and explained softly, "Since we are going to mention the mysterious man, then we must be careful not to be heard. β
"That's right."
Pretending to bow his head slightly, Rosie said in an inquiring tone, "Then will I start talking now?" β
"Wait a minute."
Pulling pen and paper from his jacket pocket, Lockhart waved his wand to keep them floating in the air, ready to take notes, "Now it's okay." β
Oh, let me make it up for you.
Muttering to herself, Rosie recalled the adventure stories she had seen before, and singled out a few terrifying and bizarre twists and turns to tell them.
The more Lockhart listened to it, the more excited he became, and the more relevant questions he asked.
After more than an hour, she really couldn't make it up and made a bitter conclusion:
ββ¦β¦ That's how I learned about Voldemort and the Horcruxes, and although some of them felt a little weird and illogical, I thought it was caused by some evil magic that Voldemort used! β
"Yes, it's highly likely."
Lockhart nodded repeatedly, "The mysterious man is powerful and evil, and it is not surprising that he has such a means. β
After a pause, he asked uneasily: "Do you have anything else to add to this matter?" β
"Hmm......"
After a moment of deep thought, Rosie shook his head with a light smile, "No, it's all I can think of." β
"Really?"
Lockhart opened his mouth, bared his teeth, and said with a smile, "Miss Rosie, thank you for your contribution to my cause. β
"Unfortunately, this is the end of your adventure."
He drew his wand and pointed at Rosie, "With this experience, my third-level Merlin Medal can be upgraded to the first level!" β
Scold! It turns out that what you want is a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin.
Pretending not to understand what he meant, Rosie looked at him with a panicked expression: "Lockhart, what do you mean?" β
"Farewell to your memories!"
Without answering her question, Lockhart exclaimed, "Forget it!" β
In the next second, in his shocked eyes, a layer of transparent armor suddenly appeared on Rossi's body.
Do you think the spell suit I'm wearing is papier-mΓ’chΓ©?
With a sneer, she drew her wand and countered:
"Except for your weapons!"
The light of the disarming spell struck Lockhart's chest in an instant, sending him flying hard.
So weak?
The probe caught the wand he had untapped out, and the process easily made Rosie feel a little incredible.
Is there an adjustment in the strength of NPCs in each dungeon? Or is there a problem with Lockhart that I met earlier?
Suppressing the unimportant doubts, she waved her wand and unleashed the Imprisonment Spell.
"Mr. Lockhart."
Looking at Lockhart, who was struggling under the binding of the magic rope, the corners of Rossi's mouth curled, "Are you planning to put my experience in your name?" β
"No, it's not, I ......"
Lockhart was about to deny it, but the layers of frost made him shiver.
Rosie, who was blowing frost, put her wand down and slowly walked up to him and crouched down:
"I'd suggest you think about it."
As she spoke, the smile on her face turned cold: "Or, do you want to try my newly learned Soul Fetch Spell?" β
"Soul Capture!"
Before he could speak, the tip of Rossi's staff shook violently.
In the blink of an eye, she sees an ugly-looking old wizard in scruffy clothes kill a werewolf and then be struck by Lockhart with the Oblivion Charm.
She was followed by an elderly witch with a lot of white hair on her chin, who had just driven out a banshee in a small town when she was attacked by Lockhart and lost her memory.
Scenes flashed through Rossi's mind like a movie, and by the time she came back to her senses from Lockhart's memories, the other party's face was trembling and pale.
"Let go, let me go! Please! Miss Rosie! β
With tears in his eyes, he pleaded, "I'm here for the book's sales." If you think about it, if the main character is an ugly Yankee, a witch with a hairy chin, then who is going to read this book? If no one reads, the methods of fending off the creatures of darkness written in the book will not spread, and the young wizards will not learn more about it. β
"Huh! So, you're still contributing to the wizarding world? β
Hearing his sophistry, Roseaden burst into laughter.
"...... right"
Lockhart's voice grew smaller and quieter in her smiling expression, but he still quibbled, "If it weren't for the fact that my pen detailed how to defend against dark creatures, how could the Wizengamot award me the Order of Merlin?" β
The system's voice rang out as he mentioned Wizengamot:
"Ding! Bring Lockhart back to the Ministry of Magic to be examined by the Wizengamot. β
This system prompt came really timely.
Rosie couldn't help but be a little amused: "Since you mentioned the Wizengamot, why don't we go to the Wizengamot and ask, what should we do in a situation like yours?" β
"No, don't!"
Lockhart was suddenly anxious, "Miss Rosie! I, I can give you money, as long as you let me go, I can give you ......"
Before he could finish his next sentence, he fell into a coma under a dark red light.
"If you keep talking, I'm afraid I'll be tempted."
With a chuckling and muttering, the wand pulled a sword flower back into its pocket, and Rosie dragged Lockhart out of the place.
β¦β¦
Returning to the Ministry of Magic by borrowing the village's fireplace, Rosie went to the courtroom in Wizengamot and explained the reason to the current clerk.
The situation immediately caught the attention of Wizengamot, and after some interrogation, Lockhart, who had no choice but to confess his crime, was not only recovered from the Merlin Medal, but according to the clerk, he was to serve two years in Azkaban.
But what's in it for me?
Rosie couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw the word "completed" followed by the prompt "bring Lockhart back to the Ministry of Magic and be reviewed by the Wizengamot".
Aren't there any rewards?
At this moment, the clerk who had put Lockhart in his cell turned back: "Miss Rosie, about the mysterious man you told Lockhart about......"
"What did I tell Lockhart?"
Rosie pursed her lips and explained embarrassedly, "I made it all up. β
"Oh! That's it! The clerk breathed a sigh of relief.
But in an instant, he was ashamed of the fear he had shown of Voldemort in front of his colleagues, and changed the subject with a sigh:
"In the wizarding world, I don't know how many wizards like Lockhart are still at large for bad things."
"Mission 6 has begun: Arrest the criminals who are at large (currently arrested: 0, minimum number of arrests: 2)."
