Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 45 Newspaper, dirty water, confusing right and wrong

The night is getting darker, and the light of the bright moon is falling vertically, adding a bit of chill to the silvery frost-covered earth in winter.

After submitting the daily camp tasks, Rossi, who received 900 experience points as a reward, finally reached level 30.

After allocating the attribute points and skill points obtained after upgrading, Rossi hired a carriage pulled by the Thestral, and rushed towards the village of Otter St. Catchpol with Irene and Abo.

Although Abo shared the map he created on the Floo network with the two of them, helping them to dispel nearly 90% of the fog on the map, but since Rossi and the two had never actually been there, they could not use Floo powder to get through.

Different from the two-wheeled open carriage that Hagrid took her in when he picked her up, the one Rosie hired for 1 Galleons and 55 Sickles was a four-wheeled carriage with a spacious wooden carriage.

There was a thick layer of cashmere blanket inside, which seemed to have been specially treated, and there was a light fruity wood fragrance permeating it.

The invisible Thestral ran faster and faster, pulling the carriage into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Rossi took out a complete loaf of rye bread from the inventory, divided it into two portions and handed them to the two of them: "Eat some bread first to replenish your hunger. I will treat you to a meal later."

Erin took the bread and smelled it, then said with a smile: "Then you have to take us to Wilton's restaurant."

Wilton's Restaurant is known as the most expensive restaurant in Brantania. Players on the forum revealed that the unit price of the lowest-priced meals there is about ten galleons.

"no problem."

Rossi smiled and agreed, "I just want to see how the food there is different from the food we usually eat to satisfy our hunger."

"The difference is still huge."

Abo swallowed the bread in his mouth and interjected, "Bread and dry food are only used to satisfy hunger. If we talk about the taste, those dishes are..."

Before the words "It's delicious" were uttered, an owl was seen grabbing a rolled-up newspaper and landing it on the shaft of the carriage. At this moment, it was cooing towards Abo.

Abo quickly opened the car window and let the owl deliver the newspaper.

"This is the Evening Prophet. I subscribe to the daily newspaper."

Seeing the confused expressions on both Rossi's and Rossi's faces, Abo explained, "I have been busy before and just had time to receive tonight's newspaper."

The Prophet is divided into a daily newspaper and an evening newspaper. The daily newspaper covers real-time news from 9 am to 9 pm, and the evening newspaper supplements the rest of the time. In addition to publishing some complex information in the game, the newspaper will also

The column for letters from readers is updated in real time with content published by players in the newspaper within 12 hours, which is equivalent to the world channel in the game.

Of course, regardless of the newspaper's monthly subscription price of 6 Galleons or the 10 Sickles required for each speech, Rossi was deeply resistant to it.

It’s not like people are stupid and have a lot of money, so why spend money to watch other people chatting. Rossi cursed in his heart and said casually:

"I didn't expect you still have the habit of reading newspapers."

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

Abo opened the newspaper and said, "If you want to become a qualified explorer, you must learn to retrieve something useful to you from the complicated information."

What useful information can be found in this newspaper?

After hearing Abo's words, Rosie suddenly became interested. Just as he was about to move over to take a look at the content, his head bumped into Irene, who had the same idea.

He raised his eyes and smiled at Irene, then moved his eyes to the newspaper Abo had opened.

In the upper left corner of the newspaper is the very conspicuous masthead of the Evening Prophet. Next to it is a magical photo of a thirty-year-old witch. When Rossi and the other three looked at it, she had a very contagious look.

greeted with a smile:

"Hello, I am the new Minister of Magic - Wilmina Tufte. Thank you for your support of the Ministry of Magic."

"She is Ms. Taft, who has just taken over as Minister of Magic. She looks really young."

Rossi sighed, his eyes passing over the other person's photo and slowly moving down.

"Taft held talks with the correctional institution's ambassador to Brantania to actively promote peaceful and friendly relations between wizards and Muggles."

"The Founding History of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"

"Hogwarts Winter Presentation, Dawn in the Wizarding World"

"The Dark Lord was sentenced to permanent detention, and the unrepentant "saint" will eventually come to an end."

"How should we view Muggle disciplinary institutions"

…

Rosie's eyes slowly browsed from one page to another. She was eating melon in a happy mood when she suddenly saw an article titled "How selfish is Rosie who steals resources from poor players?"

"Well? Are you talking about me?"

Rosie suddenly took the newspaper from Abai's hand with wide-eyed eyes and read it carefully:

After experiencing the sudden update of the game, as a woman, I actually have a good impression of Rosie, and my best friends also think that she has brought glory to us female players this time.

But what happened after the chance encounter made me regret my previous admiration for her.

Like many players, I am an ordinary poor player. But luckily, I joined the Mixed-blood Wizards Autonomous Society, a united and harmonious family.

After the Hogwarts camp was opened, our club immediately became a part of Hogwarts. Out of care and help for us poor players, the club management took time to take us to the Forbidden Forest to complete quests.

It was on this trip that we encountered Rosie and her teammates who were surrounded by wild monsters and were about to die. To be honest, I really regretted not stopping my teammates from saving them.

Yes, we saved them, but they were not grateful at all and instead wanted to rob us of our resources.

Originally, the resources in the game were all public. As poor players, we didn’t want to cause trouble or argue with her. Who knew she was not satisfied and even hid secretly near us. When we were lucky enough to get a rare BOSS and

After crippling the BOSS, she actually teamed up with her friends to kill us, taking the first kill of the BOSS.

My friends all advised me not to think too much about it, as it is the most normal thing to get robbed by monsters while playing games.

But I really can't stand the feeling of my idol worship being shattered by her own hands. I feel like my heart has been severely trampled by her.

So, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became and couldn’t help but borrow money from a friend to publish this article.

I know that this may not have any impact on Rosie, but I still want to send it out so that those players who admire Rosie like me before can see her face clearly.

…

Alas, in fact, maybe no one except me really admires her. After all, as long as you use your brain, think about the update of "Secret Room" which took a long time. Rosie has clearly cleared this copy, but she has not published it in the forum or newspaper.

If you compare the strategies or clues related to the dungeon with those previous players who enthusiastically published detailed dungeon strategies on forums and newspapers, you will know how selfish she is!

…

"Gan!"

After reading this article written by a player signed by Tangtang to criticize her, Rosie couldn't help but laugh angrily, "It's so interesting, there are really everyone in this game!"

"That's right! She is simply distorting the facts!"

Eileen said angrily, "They obviously robbed our monsters at the beginning, but they were so embarrassed to say they were saving us!"

Abo twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "There are always these giant babies in the game who like to stir up trouble and confuse right and wrong, so don't pay attention to them."

After a pause, he continued: "BOSS is a public resource. It doesn't belong to whoever opens it. The game's mechanism allows for monster grabbing, so there is no problem."

While talking, Abo spent 10 Sikeys and left a message at the bottom of the article:

"You also know that resources are public? Does the BOSS belong to you? Are you still saying that others are grabbing it? What have you done yourself, you don't know? You are also saying that others do not share copy strategies. Do you know that those strategies in the forum were cleared by others?

How many times did it take to write it? If you are playing a game and don’t want to explore and experience it yourself, you just want to rely on others and eat ready-made, then why are you playing so much? Go home and watch Teletubbies!"

Uh... didn't you say I don't need to pay attention to it? Then what are you doing?

Rosie looked at Abai in surprise.

As if seeing the confusion in Rosie's eyes, Abodi's voice deepened: "Obviously we fought for the BOSS together, but she didn't even mention me a word. I definitely can't bear this."

"Pfft! What you care about is really different!"

Eileen next to her couldn't help laughing and making a comment.
