Chapter 381: The folk customs are simple and Yanan Town
On the distant American continent, a young wizard cautiously returned to his room and pulled out a two-way mirror from several layers of seals.
Although it is said that Ideal Township has radiated to the Americas through the leyline magic network, the Magic Congress of the United States did not approve the official listing of Ideal Township.
Therefore, the wizards who have landed in the United States are all illegally landed.
Of course, the Magic Congress is limited, and if you land quietly, he won't be able to find you, let alone care about you, if you land quietly, without much fanfare.
And this little wizard, who is 16 years old this year, is called Slarda, and will graduate next year.
Because of the promotion of the live broadcast of the Big Seven Tournament, almost all of these school students who participated in the tournament with a representative team entered the ideal township two-way mirror.
However, Ilvermorny in the United States is not the same as other schools.
What a loss they have!
The principal hung up, the professor died, and he was skinned to lead the team to the tournament, so he lost seven outstanding students of the school.
Although in the end, Voldemort was forced back by Dumbledore and Grindelwald, which caused Ilvermorny to find a problem. But it doesn't help.
The headmaster is dead, several of the professors have been poisoned, and the remaining few are still controlled by the Imperius Curse, and it is impossible to continue to teach at the school in the future.
Even Serpentwood, the treasure of the town, was taken by Voldemort...... It can be said that it is a slump!
In the past, the name Voldemort was only occasionally heard of as a dark wizard in Europe, and he was a little famous, but he didn't care much about it.
It's so familiar and gnashing of teeth now.
And Slarda studied in school in this situation - it's like taking online classes for three years, that quality of teaching!
In fact, before this, Ilvermorny was already very unstable internally.
Because the atmosphere in the American wizarding community has always been serious, the relationship between wizards and No-Maj is extremely harsh.
So much so that many young wizards were very disgusted, and even in the school, there were a group of professors and students who hated it.
In the Wizarding Congress, conservatives and radicals are also at loggerheads.
That's what gave Voldemort a chance - he was the best at exploiting the loopholes in his relationships.
And in the past two years, some other magic institutions have also begun to exert their strength, what witch gatherings, what magic federations, and many magic carriers known as superpowers have appeared, but there has been a big uproar.
Even U.S. officials have stepped in to investigate, hoping to get hold of this power...... It can be said that the influence of the Magic Congress in the homeland has shrunk significantly. The heroes are divided!
Europe is not at peace, but it is much more stable than North America, which has always been magical.
Now on the streets of the United States, there are people flying through the walls in broad daylight to grab cash trucks or something.
At night, there are this and that heroes running around, replacing the police to enforce the law as they like.
The wizards were guarding the portal, not daring to move. Because the official they are also waiting for an opportunity to arrest people, for so many years, they have coveted magic.
In this case, Ideal Township is simply an ideal paradise!
Starck connects with friends through Ideal Township, learns about changes in other countries and regions through Ideal Township, makes friends through Ideal Township to find information, expresses emotions through Ideal Township, and engages in online dating by the way (although he is a little injured, he has no regrets......
If there was no ideal township, he did not know how miserable and closed his life would be.
Now, Ted Epifani has developed the world's best game - Wizarding World.
Stark, who didn't qualify for the closed beta at the beginning, was going crazy, and now it's finally open beta.
He stayed up all night, pouring water on the forum with netizens, waiting for the game to open, and rushed in as soon as possible.
Looking at the countdown number on the double-sided mirror in front of him, Starck put on his ideal hometown glasses - this thing was mailed by a netizen from abroad.
There was a gentle white light in front of me, and then the perspective turned, blue sky and white clouds, endless plains and forests, and animals foraging and frolicking on the grassy land.
A voice rang out:
"Welcome, Adventist. Welcome to this strange magical world. The world is beautiful, but it's also bad. You need to see it all for yourself. ”
"Please select your race ......"
Then two rows of humanoids of different shapes appeared.
The top is on a red background, and the bottom is on a blue background.
"The free faction is formed by a number of unrestrained forces and races, they are: subhuman (subdivided into rabbit ears, dog ears, cat ears, mouse ears, horns, etc.), free elves, goblins, mountain dwarves, werewolves, ......"
"The Order faction is a group of forces and races that worship order and rules, and they are: Humans, Subhumans (ditto), Nature Elves, Underground Dwarves, Vampires, ......"
Because each race has its own backstory, it has various advantages and disadvantages, such as the addition and subtraction of attributes, natural abilities, and so on.
So Starck spent a lot of time looking at them one by one before choosing the Inuear.
In fact, he wanted to try his hand at being a centaur!
It's definitely not because of the whip and the horse's belly~
I just want to try the thrill of running on the ground with four hooves.
It's a pity not!
Ted said: This can be had. However, the hidden race needs some special opportunities to be triggered, so players are invited to explore it by themselves~
Race is followed by profession, and there are many professions.
When it was originally in closed beta, there were also more than a dozen classes to choose from. The advantages and disadvantages of various pros and cons and the development of the previous and later periods have been analyzed clearly.
However, in this open beta, there are seven or eight more classes!
But the voice of the game guide also said that the full level of this 1.0 game version is level 40.
However, the real start of the game is when you reach the full level.
After reaching the maximum level, completing a series of missions will turn on the free mode.
At that time, the profession will no longer be constrained, but will be influenced by its own learning, exercise, research, and development, and begin to personalize the career. Or rather, there is no profession anymore!
Although it is called freedom and individuality, it is actually a means for Ted to let all players help him test the path of magic and conduct magic research~
You are free, I am benefited, and we all have a bright future!
It took more than half an hour to build the character in one operation, and Starq finally entered the game.
He chose the Inuas of the Freedom League, who was born on the edge of a valley wood.
He followed the instructions and soon began his own adventure.
At this time, there were already five or six players in his vicinity who were also dog ears.
There are 4600+ players like him at the same time!
It's 1 a.m.!
It can be seen that by tomorrow, the number of players online at the same time will skyrocket!
Ted looked at the data, and his heart blossomed: Let's play! Let's play! Work hard to level up and fight monsters and help me save experience! Work hard to do tasks and research, help me test the path of magic, and accumulate research experience!
If you're a veteran of the closed beta, you'll probably be able to get your first copy in two days.
That's a copy of the real data that Ted collected in the real world, shrouded the Ideal Town, and made a copy of the real data - the Goblin Lair!
Ted also made some wreckage and baby goblins in the lair, as well as some women's clothes and stuff.
Well, in this subtle way, wizards will develop a great hatred for goblins.
Ted's psychic abilities also play a role in this, collecting overflowing psychic powers.
Ted has mastered a pistol called "Public Opinion"!
An intangible, but pervasive force.
……
Everything in Wizarding World is moving according to the established trajectory, which is very much in line with Ted's expectations.
There are now 55,000 players who log in every day and stay online for at least two hours, with 120,000 people at the peak!
It can be said that it is already a phenomenal existence in the entire wizarding world.
The International Confederation of Wizards has already sent a message through Dumbledore, which roughly means that we fully support you, and we will develop it together.
But Dumbledore said privately: Ignore them.
Although the International Confederation of Wizards is strong, it is strong overall.
However, it would be a mistake to look at them as a whole.
Dumbledore, who really went deep into the interior and even became a member of it, deeply understood a truth - this seemingly behemoth, the terrifying wizarding machine, was actually a bloated institution that was fragmented, riddled with holes, and many factions.
Many times one person proposes a proposal, and the other person will oppose it.
One person makes one claim, and another person makes another.
When one person identifies an enemy, the other person will deliberately get close.
There were also disagreements between the Federation's headquarters and various local representatives...... Every person, every force, every group has its own demands.
So, a lot of times you see a lot of strange sights that are opposing and contradictory.
While saying that a great achievement has been made, the wizarding world has taken another big step forward.
On the one hand, there is a tragedy that happened in a certain area, and the local magic agency did not act, and even acted for the tiger, and he was the culprit.
So Dumbledore told Ted that he didn't need to pay attention to it, as long as he dragged it out and didn't say anything.
Ted understood what Dumbledore meant, and he knew how the wizarding world worked.
I better understand the urgent task - strength!
He is very strong now, and in the school, except for Snape, no one else is definitely his opponent. Snape was uncertain.
But now that his stall is bigger, he is now facing a threat from all over the world.
Not to mention the International Federation of Wizards, that thing is just like the previous one, like a huge monster with many hands and feet, and although it is big, it can't control itself, so it's not scary.
But now the whole world is changing too drastically.
In the past half a month, Ted has collected information on at least four more Otherworldly Invasion events.
One of them is even more noisy, it is said that a strange pyramid has appeared in Cairo, Egypt!
It was all of a sudden, and it appeared with a bang!
Now the wizards over there are studying what's going on? It is said that with the appearance of strange pyramids, many strange monsters have also appeared......
However, if Ted had a more detailed tip, some clues could have been found - the Egyptian Ministry of Magic's response was too quick and accurate this time.
So much so that although the pyramid was quite big in the wizarding world, it did not cause any uproar in ordinary society.
This is not like the Egyptian Ministry of Magic!
According to their usual practice, they were afraid that it would not be three to five days after the pyramid appeared, and the Muggles were already driving their excavators, they would make a move.
After all, meetings are time-consuming~
In fact, at this time, most of North Africa was already in the hands of the Saints, that is, Grindelwald.
In the last Seven Tournament, Vagado's headmaster was crippled, and now he has been put on a prosthetic hand by Grindelwald and has become a glorious saint!
Speaking of which, isn't this Dark Lord particularly good at making prosthetics? One or two, the magic hand rejuvenation~
……
"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] triggered, discover [Healing Church Blood Healing Elixir Formula (Blue)]."
[Healing Church Blood Therapy Potion Formula (Blue)] records the secret recipe of the blood therapy potion used by the Healing Church to heal patients in Yanan Town. This recipe requires a high-grade blood as a base. Patients who have undergone blood therapy will end up with some strange side effects...... Costs 250 XP to redeem.
"Good fellows! Blue quality knowledge only costs 250 experience, which is really cheap! Ted sighed and shook his head.
Sure enough, it was 250!
Yanan Town, blood therapy. With these two words, there is no need to say anything else.
This thing is not high-tech, and what is really valuable is the method of diluting the "high-grade blood".
The so-called high-grade blood, in the blood-source curse, is naturally "divine blood".
But this technique can also be used with other blood.
For example, the blood of some powerful magical beasts, if it is made into a blood healing potion and given to ordinary people to give an injection, it will also have a "miraculous cure". Of course, the side effects are expected to be amazing!
Is this a treatment? This is a biochemical test!
"Well, let's make a deal with Snape for something good!"
Ted himself doesn't need this thing, after all, there are really some high-level creatures, and he doesn't need to draw blood, just start alchemy and transform it directly!
This month's knowledge is not good, very average.
However, it is not a big problem, after all, the research projects are now starting to backlog.
Even if Hermione was given some simple, acceptable projects, there were still many experiments waiting for her.
Players need to level up quickly and do their research early!
No, I'll increase the task reward, you guys should give me research!
I have to say, it's a great feeling.
Secretly manipulating some tiny, inconspicuous numbers indirectly controls everyone's behavior.
Therefore, those players in the game think that they are free, and their choices are decided by their own thinking. However, the impact is always imperceptible and silent.
There are many problems in the game, and players think that the game official has not found it, but in fact, it is what the official wants to see!
Silly children, play games at the official pace. In this way, you can become a VIP player, at least without official sanctions.
As for game longevity, let it be.
……
In December, Vice-Chancellor Professor McGonagall held a meeting with the fifth graders.
It's about what you're going to take at the end of this school year, also known as the Ordinary Wizard Exam Grading Test.
It's probably equivalent to the Celestial Empire's entrance examination or something. In short, grades matter.
Important for young wizards who want to find a good job.
Therefore, everyone began to review extremely intensely.
Once this atmosphere becomes tense, it will become more and more tense, and some little wizards with weak psychological resistance to pressure are under great pressure and don't think about it.
No, Hannah Abbott, the king of the iron hat, broke down and cried in the herbal medicine class because of the pressure—the reason was simply that she weighed the herbs wrongly.
The cry was so bad that at least three of the students were induced to cry together. They all called themselves stupid, ineligible for the exam, and wanted to drop out of school now......
Ted doesn't understand, what are you stressing about?
What's there to pressure on!
Even if you become a squatter at home after graduation and stay at home for a hundred years, you don't have to worry about food and clothing.
As for what to get married and buy a house, it's not a problem at all, the bride price or something is not interesting here, and you don't need to buy a car when you go out, where do you get the pressure?!
According to what you think, the self-talk of the men of the Celestial Empire~ I'm afraid I'm going to fly to the sky!
Of course, students. A student's job is to take exams, ah no, to study.
So there's nothing wrong with working hard, just keep your mind under control.
You see, even Ron and Jerry are working hard to review, hopefully in. Several good results have been achieved.
Otherwise, it's a shame.
However, Ron and Jerry's make-up class revisions are very poor.
The two tossed for a week, and finally had no choice but to give up.
Ron: Jerry, forget it, a master taught you to break the tricks!
To review this thing, you still have to find a few who have learned well! Playing chess with a stinky chess basket is getting more and more stink~
Once, when Ron was using the Draining Charm, his hand slipped, and his wand flew out and hit Jerry's head.
Jerry looked at the wand on the ground, and then at Ron, "Ron, you can consider practicing throwing knives...... I'm not kidding. ”
Don't say it, Ted has really developed a set of throwing knife magic.
The main thing is to try the control of Shenfeng without shadow - let Shenfeng without shadow draw a few circles and other operations.
It turned out that this thing was more comfortable controlling physical objects.
If there were a few flying knives that sharpened iron like clay, wouldn't it be awesome~
Ted demonstrated to the two of them: "Look! ”
Ted just pointed at his hand, and saw a faint cold light flash. More than ten meters away, a dummy's head fell off, and then a translucent alchemy flying knife floated around Ted and appeared.
Speaking of which, this method of forging transparent knives was developed by a rogue player in "Wizarding World" who has a secondary class forged. Pretty creative!
Ted even thinks that he can hold a festival event in the future, which is called the Magic Knife Forging Competition!
It is held every three months, and the first place gets a huge amount of game currency~
At that time, those forging methods, magic alloy formulas, etc., aren't they all Ted's?
Ron and Jerry didn't care about the make-up class review anymore, and they all went to learn Ted's throwing knife magic - the spell was "Please baby turn around~"
At this time, Umbridge proudly posted a new education order on the notice board in the auditorium.
Education Order No. 24:
No student organizations, associations, teams, or clubs may exist in Hogwarts without the approval of Senior Inquisitor/Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor Umbridge.
It is defined as an illegal organization for a student group of three or more people to meet on a regular basis.
This naturally includes make-up groups and revision groups.
Umbridge can also be regarded as a pioneer of the anti-compensation class~
She is seeing that Dumbledore has been away from home for a long time, and she wants to take the opportunity to make trouble!
