Chapter 147: New Knowledge and the First Victim
"Mr. Longbottom! You can't stay in school anymore! It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous! A house-elf in a filthy pillowcase tugged at the hem of Neville's robe as tears crackled down her face.
"I'm safe! Let me go, I'm going back. Don't bring Filch in. "Neville is in a hurry.
I haven't seen it for months, and I've forgotten about this abominable house-elf.
How dare it chase after the school!
"It's not safe, it's not safe!" Dobby didn't let go, and the slender fingers were so strong that he ripped off a piece of Neville's robe with a stab.
Neville and Dobby were both silent for a few seconds. Neville then pulls his legs and runs, but Nadobie appears in front of him in the blink of an eye, nearly tripping Neville over.
"Let go of me!"
"Mr. Longbottom, get out of school. Monsters, monsters have been unleashed! ”
"What monster?" Neville asked strangely as he stopped struggling.
"Oh no, Dobby can't expose his master's schemes, Dobby is a bad elf!" As he spoke, Dobby slammed his head into the thousand-year-old stone brick wall of Hogwarts, as if he might smear his brain at any moment.
"You, don't be like this, don't be like this." Neville was soft-hearted and hurriedly persuaded.
Dobby stopped hitting the wall and was moved: "Mr. Longbottom is really kind, Dobby, Dobby is so touched." ”
Neville: "Can you tell us about the monster ......" Dobby began to ram the wall again.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask."
At that moment, a spell silently shot at Dobby's back.
As a result, Nador suddenly became shorter, and the whole person seemed to be shortened, and narrowly escaped the spell.
"Ahh He let out a scream and disappeared in place with a "bang".
Then I heard the tinkling of ten blacksmiths in the corridor not far away.
Not good! This little thing didn't choose to run away as soon as possible, but chose to make a big fuss, trying to force Neville to drop out of school in this way? How naïve!
"The body disappears~" Ted appeared during the sneak attack just now, and at this time gave himself and Neville a stealth spell.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, Filch had already rushed over with a curse.
"Peeves! Let me catch you, you suffer from old sins~" Tactics leaned back.
The two of them returned to a safe place, and only then did they have time to talk.
It turns out that Neville came out with Jerry. The good boy was persuaded to be dishonest~
But when he returned, Jerry went to the kitchen to get some cheese for a supper, and Neville wanted to go back to the dorm first.
Originally, there were only two corridors, but I didn't expect to be caught by that house-elf!
"He said his name was Dobby!" Neville looked at Ted worriedly, "You say, he shouldn't have been staring at me before school started, and he was staring at school, and then he suddenly appeared when he found me alone, right?" ”
This is simply a tailgating idiot @Hanna!
"That's right!" Neville became serious, "What else did he say about the monster being released!" ”
Ted nodded: "I see, now is not the time to talk about this, we'll discuss it tomorrow." You go back first, don't worry Jerry, that kid is clever, Filch can't catch him. ”
Failing to win Dobby was something Ted didn't expect.
I didn't expect the house-elves to be so sensitive to magic that they avoided it.
The short body is not like a movement that a flesh and blood creature can do, and the upper half of the whole body is going to drill into the lower half of the body!
But it doesn't matter, catching him is just a way to get a handle on Lucius Malfoy.
This accident, it is estimated that he will not dare to appear again.
Go back to bed and wake up the next morning, and guess what? Hey, it's December!
"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and [Soldier 76 Tactical Goggles R&D Manual (Green)] is discovered."
[Soldier 76 Tactical Goggles R&D Manual (Green)], which records the R&D data of new tactical equipment goggles developed by technology companies. Costs 260 XP to redeem.
Yes? Why is this still crooked to the side of technology?
Ted is a little distressed, a chance once a month!
Originally, he wanted to ignore it, but he thought about it, and now in this situation, he might as well exchange it.
Although looking at the route, this time the knowledge of the other world seems to be a little crooked.
But now what I'm most worried about is the basilisk's lethal gaze, and I even made protective glasses for this purpose that I don't know how effective it is.
And the knowledge in front of me, although it is on the scientific and technological side, may be useful.
There is not much experience consumed, three or four days. Changed!
Ted savored the fresh knowledge in his head and felt that it was very valuable.
In particular, among them, the capabilities of "super aiming", "contour calculation" and "trace scanning".
But the technology side is too far away, and if you want to learn from it, it can't be effective in a day or two.
Is it necessary to use alchemy to refine chips and then write code in ancient magic scripts? Depend on!
However, just as Ted was about to go to his morning workout, he suddenly heard a scream.
Ted was shocked, it was Hermione's voice!
He cast a spell on himself and ran as fast as he could. I've put on my glasses, which I don't know.
"Hermione, is that you?" Around the corner of the hallway, Ted sensed a mental body. He shouted tentatively.
"Ted, it's me, come and see!" Hermione exclaimed.
Ted walked around the corner and saw the reason Hermione's scream—a little girl, now gray and lying on the ground, stiff as a stone sculpture.
This is......
"It's Clara!" Hermione exclaimed, "What's wrong with her?" ”
This is Hermione's roommate, Clara Flash, a dwarf schoolgirl from her class.
Because of the small number of students, there is basically only one dormitory for each male and female students in each college.
Ted doesn't know the girls very well, but this little girl in her early teens still knows it.
Clara is lively, quirky, and much loved by Professor Flitwick.
It's just that now that she's like this, this is a basilisk encounter?
Ted noticed that Clara was wearing a pair of oddly shaped glasses with a number of magical artifacts that he couldn't read, but that had now been destroyed.
Maybe this was the reason why she was saved from a tragic death?
I met with Neville in the castle yesterday, and someone was attacked in the morning?! And on this side of the Ravenclaw Tower complex?!
"Hermione, when did you find her like this?" Ted asked.
Hermione's face was a little ugly, "Clara also often deserts and goes on night tours around the neighborhood. She went out last night, but when I woke up in the morning and found that she hadn't come back at all, I was a little worried and came out to look for ......."
That is, from last night to this morning, it is possible.
Doesn't that mean that he and Neville and the basilisk may have been in the castle at the same time last night! !
Hermione's voice not only called Ted, but also several more diligent and early Ravenclaws also arrived, and then they saw Clara, a dwarf girl who had fallen stiffly on the ground.
Soon, Professor Flitwick and the other professors arrived.
Dumbledore came to the conclusion that Clara was not dead, but petrified, just like Lady Loris on Halloween Eve.
People immediately thought of that line - the secret room!
By breakfast, everyone already knew about it. The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
It was just a cat accident before, and everyone regarded it as an after-dinner conversation.
But now it's real! Some students have been attacked!
Slytherin Chambers! Purify the school! Several of the students began to feel uneasy.
"Can't wait any longer! You must hurry up and make the compound decoction, and hurry up to get out of Malfoy's words! "The roommate is petrified, and Hermione decides to start making a polyjuice potion.
So in the abandoned classroom where Ted was doing research, there was an extra crucible that burned for a long time.
The first day of December was so exciting that the little wizards said they couldn't stand it.
Now the students have no intention of going to class at all, and they are all asking or making up stories about the secret room. Some of the little wizards have already begun to prepare amulets.
Ted remembered that he had promised the twins a fortune with Ron, so he made a plan for them to make their own magic charms and sell them to the young wizards.
Although their craftsmanship was crude, the amulet was at least somewhat useful. It's better than something like a salamander's tail or an onion head, right?
Under the reassurance of the deans, the first week passed, and nothing strange happened.
Beginning in the second week, Professor McGonagall and the others began to collect the list of students who stayed on campus for Christmas, as they had done in previous years.
This time, Harry, Neville, Ron, Jerry, and Hermione all signed the list, and Ted naturally stayed.
I don't know where Harley heard about it, saying that Malfoy was going to stay on vacation.
Everyone thought it was very suspicious!
Hermione counted the time, and the Christmas holidays were just in time to use the Polyjuice Potion to get Malfoy's truth out.
The problem is that the two most important ingredients in the decoction are not yet available.
The horns of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake are both materials strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and they are either purchased through regular channels or on the black market.
Naturally, they were the idea to hit Snape's private pantry.
The matter of stealing medicinal materials from Snape naturally had to be done by Harley and Jerry.
Jerry is talented, and Harley can take the pot.
