Chapter 13: Monsters from Hogwarts

Harley sighed, she hated this kind of time-consuming and laborious groundwork the most.

Without wasting time, Harley clapped her hands gently.

Countless spider silks appeared out of thin air, spreading in all directions. The silk is transparent and soft, equivalent to an extension of Halle's arm.

And Harley walked slowly forward, not taking the safe route marked by the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild, but stepping into the dark and unknown territory.

She walked without hurry, and with every step she took forward, a faint blue glow bloomed under her white sneakers.

Behind Harry, a long, ice-paved path had emerged.

Harley didn't know when a yew wooden staff appeared in her hand.

Since you can't bring in your own homemade magic mirror and wand, you can only use the tools you have.

Harry's divination skills are not particularly strong, but she still has a high probability of success in finding the general location of the Phantom Grass.

Simply treated yew wood can be used.

The swamp was huge, and the yew wood in Harley's hand kept taking off her hands, pointing in different directions.

Although the probability of failure is not small, it also assists Harley to speed up the search.

In the middle, she also meets a boy from Castrobusche, a magic school in Brazil.

The boy was probably going to make a potion that was unique to Brazil, and the rainforest had a large swamp area, so he went into the swamp to find materials.

When the two met, the boy was about to pick a hemolytic herb, and the tools were ready.

However, that herb is also one of the necessities that Harley uses to dispose of the phantom grass, so Harley is unceremoniously ready to snatch it.

Of course, the two did not clash.

The boy looked at the icy road behind Harley, and then saw that Harley tapped the ground with her toes, and the surrounding swamp was covered with thick ice, so he decisively chose to give up this hemolytic grass.

No one is stupid to be able to walk to this place.

Although the rules prohibit players from attacking each other, if they are really attacked, they will be out of the competition.

Even if the attacker is punished, he will suffer this loss, right?

And looking at Harry's appearance, it is obvious that she is a master of casting spells without a wand.

Even if they reported her malicious attack afterwards, the organizers would not be able to detect it.

The Flashback Charm can only be used against wands, and is of no use against wizards' fingers.

In this case, I simply let go of this hemolytic herb and show my gentlemanly demeanor by the way.

After all, Hallie's appearance makes the boy very tempted, and he feels that he is in love.

However, Harley ignored him, and left after picking the hemolytic herbs, without even listening to what the boy said.

This made the boy very disappointed, and even wanted to catch up. But just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly found that his feet had frozen in place for some time.

After half an hour, Harley had found all the materials she could find in the swamp, and had prepared two portions of each.

If this task were to be done by the other players, they would probably have to waste two to three hours here, and they would not have enough time to rush to the snow and ice.

It was based on this that Harley chose the more difficult illusion potion, ready to win the championship in one fell swoop.

Before leaving the swamp, Harley touched the ice with her toes, and countless solid ice melted in an instant.

She glanced into the distance, then disappeared into the woods.

Two minutes later, a patrol of eight adult wizards walked out of their hiding place.

They stared at the swamp in amazement, then at the direction in which Harley had disappeared.

"If I'm not mistaken, I ...... The little girl from before...... She should be...... Be a Hogwarts student!

I read the information before the game and she ...... She seems to be only thirteen years old? Please tell me that I misremembered, okay? A strong German man stammered, shock written all over his face.

"No, Brian." A skinny young American wiped the cold sweat from his forehead,

"You have a good memory and nothing wrong. And looking at her face, she does look like a thirteen-year-old girl.

However, at the age of thirteen, he was able to freeze half of the swamp, and it seems that he has not yet used his wand, and he has discovered our location, which is indeed very terrifying.

She must have been Albus Dumbledore's own disciple. ”

"Maybe there's an error in the data?" A French witch frowned,

"No matter how strong Dumbledore is, it is impossible to cultivate such a young and powerful wizard!

I believe that she can let go of our whole team by standing still. ”

"You'd rather believe that the information is wrong?" The previous American youth rolled his eyes, "That's the material that the president personally reviewed, how could it be wrong?" ”

The patrol captain, who had been reticent all along, spoke at this time: "Stop arguing, continue our patrol mission."

But this time, Hogwarts really sent a monster! ”

……

Naturally, Hallie didn't know what the patrolmen were arguing about.

Although her existence was discovered, after seeing the insignia of the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild on their bodies, Harley naturally understood their identity.

Otherwise, to spy on a witch in such a completely unfamiliar environment, Harley would have to give them a curse.

Harley shuttled lightly through the forest, like a delphin, flying towards the ice and snow area.

It's snowy and cold, and it's not friendly to witches in light summer clothes.

And although the witch can control the ice, she has no resistance to the cold.

Many Witches of Pain will even freeze themselves into ice sculptures if they are not skilled enough to avoid themselves when casting the Frozen World.

The witches even need to release black flames to burn the ice outside their bodies, or manipulate the ice outside their bodies to dissipate after terminating the frozen world, so as not to freeze themselves to death.

Standing under a tree, Harley looked at the snow, sighed, and decided to rest for a while.

The spider silk spreads behind Harley and hangs from the tree, forming a swing.

Harley sat up lightly and pulled out a few brightly colored fruits in her hand.

The organizers made it clear in the rules that they would not provide food and water, but did not say that contestants were not allowed to pick edible plants in the park.

As a qualified potions master, identifying edible plants in the wild is a basic task.

So when she was passing through the rainforest area earlier, Harley picked up a few potions of frostbite healing ingredients.

This fruit is non-toxic, and it also has a stomach-warming effect when eaten, which is very beneficial to Hallie's next actions.

After a short break, Harley jumped off the swing and the spider silk swept in the wind.

She casually took out some flowers and plants that were common in the forest from the pockets that were distributed during the competition and used to hold materials.

Refining essential oils and hydrosols is a meticulous job, and with the current environment, Harley can't do it.

So Hallie can only use the raw materials directly.

Although the effect of this ritual is not too good, it is better than nothing.

The light bloomed on Hallie's hand and then covered her body.

Black flames also bloomed from Harley's black hair, and continued to flow through her body, dispelling the cold that had not been prevented by the ritual.

With this full armament, Harley finally entered the ice and snow zone.

……
