Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 320 Meeting Lockhart Again

Author: Sissi who listens to stories

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This half month was a boring, thrilling, lonely and hard half month for Rosie.

Fortunately, all this was not in vain.

When she left the Hiltern Mountains, she had caught 39 types of monsters.

It may be that the monster later moved due to various reasons, or it may be that the author of the book did not write it in detail enough.

She caught two more monsters than expected.

"But this is a good thing!" Rossi muttered quietly.

She planned to go to the wizard village in the north to rest for a while, and then take a look at the Jonaien Valley further north.

According to Lupine, he saw Banshee, Kanigma and Boggart there.

Apart from the Hiltern Mountains, this is the place where monsters gather the most, with more than 18 species. Unfortunately, most of them overlap with the Hiltern Mountains, and only the three types Lupine mentioned were the ones she didn't catch.

Just as she was replenishing the durability of her equipment and tasting local specialties in a small restaurant, a handsome man with a smile on his face quietly came across from her.

Seeing Rossi raise her eyes, the man bent down and saluted like a gentleman: "What a coincidence, Miss Rossi, can I sit across from you?"

Lockhart?

Rossi was a little confused when he recognized the person, but nodded politely: "Of course, Mr. Lockhart, please sit down!"

Put down the knife and fork in your hand and wait for him to sit down: "Mr. Lockhart, why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm collecting ideas for 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 to be used as the background of the story."

Can I say, I don't understand?

Rosie complained in his mind, not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward, so he could only smile and nod: "It's like the kind of village where weird events happen frequently. The protagonist secretly passes the information out to lead the church... The Ministry of Magic sent people to investigate, and finally found out that there are many strange things happening in the village.

A story where everyone has fallen into a mystery?"

"Wow, this is a great idea, Miss Rossi. It seems that you are also very suitable to be a writer."

Lockhart smiled and flattered, "If you are interested, I can recommend a publishing house to you."

"Don't...I can't write."

After repeatedly waving his hands to refuse, Rossi thought to himself: If you ask me to write a novel, I will definitely not be able to earn even three galleons a month.

"Well... that's really a pity. If such a good idea is created, it will definitely be a big seller."

Lockhart made a regretful expression.

"If Mr. Lockhart thinks this idea is feasible, he can definitely use it."

Anyway, no one in this world will accuse you of plagiarism.

As he spoke, Rossi muttered silently.

"Really, that's great!" Harold had an expression of surprise on his face, "Then what should I call this story?"

"You are the creator, so you have to worry about naming the work yourself!"

Rossi smiled and thought to himself: In short, just don’t call it the Ring of Fate.

The two exchanged some more pleasantries, and Lockhart asked casually: "Miss Rossi, have you caught enough monsters for practical lessons?"

"It's still a little worse."

"That's great! Uh... I didn't mean that. I meant, maybe I can just do you a little favor."

With a wave of his hand, he conjured up a large iron cage covered with black cloth, "I guess you haven't been to Cornwall County yet."

He used his wand to lift the black cloth upwards, and a group of Cornwall elves who saw the light immediately began to chirp.

Huh? What does he mean?

Rosie was startled for a moment. This kind of elf unique to Cornwall County was indeed a type of monster that she could use. Due to the geographical location, she originally planned to make one last trip to Cornwall County.

, but unexpectedly, Lockhart actually sent it.

"Mr. Lockhart, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's just a small thank you."

Lockhart showed his standard eight teeth, "After all, Miss Rossi gave me an excellent idea, so it's only right that I reciprocate."

He covered the iron cage with black cloth again, and said with a smile: "Put it away. I can easily catch a lot of such weak monsters."

"Well...thank you very much!"

Seeing what he said, Rossi didn't refuse, reached out and grabbed the iron cage and put it at his feet.

"Ding: Cornwall elves, to ensure their vitality, please let them move freely for one hour every seven days - a warm reminder from the Cornwall pet store."

???

pet Shop?

Looking at Lockhart calmly, Rossi murmured in his heart.

He obviously bought it, but he claimed to have caught it?

This Lockhart feels completely different from the one I met in the previous team book!

He makes me feel more and more like the parallel importer in the original novel...

While his thoughts were swirling, Lockhart stood up, moved his chair, came to Rossi's side and whispered:

"By the way, Miss Rossi, what you said about the mysterious man when we were in the principal's office last time is true?"

Hearing this, Rossi suddenly realized: It turned out that this was his real purpose, and any chance encounter was clearly a long-planned routine.

Also talking about collecting style, well...it is indeed collecting style, but the target of collecting style is most likely me.

I'd like to see what tricks you want to play.

Rossi took a deep breath and whispered into the other person's expectant eyes: "Of course it's true, Voldemort..."

She paused suddenly, a flash of doubt flashing through her heart:

No, this is wrong! When I mentioned Peter Pettigrew to Lupine, I was immediately warned by the system. But when I told Dumbledore about Voldemort's Horcrux, why didn't the system make any movement?

How is this rule of the system determined? It must not be disclosed to the NPC...

Harold, who was very afraid of the word "Voldemort", calmed down for a moment. Seeing that she was frozen there without speaking, he tentatively said:

"Miss Rossi, can you tell me about him in detail? I think if you write this into a novel, it will definitely be a bestseller."

After a pause, he then said: "Rossi, I can use you as the second author, and the novel will be regarded as a joint creation between us. The royalties received at that time will be seven to you and three to you, um...or eight to you and two."

,How about it?"

The conditions are so generous? He didn't want to give it to me at all, right? According to his behavior in the original work, he probably wanted to wait for me to finish telling me what I knew, and then directly give me a [forget everything]?

Seeing through but not telling him, Rossi smiled and said, planning to make up a story for him.

"Miss Rossi, this is not the place to talk. Can we talk somewhere else?"

As he finished speaking, the system prompts rang.

"Ding! The recipient of the Order of Merlin, the famous writer Lockhart, seems to be hiding some secrets. If you follow him, you may be able to make some special discoveries."
