Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 79 Hagrid

"Hagrid?"

Looking at the name on the head of the hybrid giant, Abo looked at Rosie with surprise, "Do you know him?"

"He is an NPC in the copy of "Chamber of Secrets", the guard of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. Didn't you meet him when you were working on "Chamber of Secrets"?"

Hearing Abo's question, Irene on the side was a little stunned.

"Ah? Am I the only one who doesn't know him?" Abo scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Uh... I entered the dungeon alone, and the first NPC I met was Filch. As for Hagrid, I

I haven't seen him in "The Chamber of Secrets"."

No, you are not the only one. Glancing at Jiang Jing beside her, Rosie retorted in her mind. Watching the slowly starting car behind her getting closer and closer, she considered and said hello:

"Hey Hagrid, I think you need our help."

Suddenly his name was called by someone he didn't know. Hagrid, who was wearing an oversized moleskin coat, couldn't help but froze for a moment. After looking at the four Rossi's carefully, he said angrily:

"Do we know this lady?"

While speaking, he took a half-step forward without leaving a trace, protecting the boy beside him behind him.

Seeing this, Rossi raised a smile on his lips, made a friendly expression, and said in a soft voice:

"Although this is our first meeting, I am no stranger to you."

As she spoke, she took out her ID from the inventory and showed it in front of the other party:

"I am an Auror from the Ministry of Magic. Let's talk in detail?"

"Ministry of Magic's Auror Office, Rosie..." Hagrid, who could barely read the content on the certificate, repeated in a low voice, and nodded as his thoughts wandered, "Okay, let's go out first."

…

In the lounge of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Hagrid, who was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, glanced at the boy who was looking at the scenery outside the window curiously. The pink umbrella in his hand shook a few times, and then he said solemnly

Turning around, he looked at the four Rossi sitting opposite and said:

"What do you want to say? Why do you say I need your help?"

"We found out something."

Rossi gently tapped the coffee table in front of him twice and said in a gentle voice, "Someone wants to steal the magic stone."

When Hagrid's expression suddenly became cautious and hesitant, Abo, who was standing aside with his arms folded, added: "Well, it's what you took out from the vault."

"Who? Who wants to steal it?" Hagrid clenched the umbrella in his hand and looked at the four of them with careful eyes.

"Of course it's Voldemort."

Rossi smiled, turned to look at the boy who was looking out the window without paying any attention to their conversation, and continued, "Now that Harry Potter has returned to the wizarding world, as his destiny's old enemy, the mysterious

People will naturally recover initially."

Because the other party showed a hint of fear when hearing the three words Voldemort, she later deliberately changed the other party's title.

"Volks... Is the mysterious man really alive?" Hagrid said with both fear and worry.

Hearing this, Rossi chuckled and said: "This is obvious. If it weren't for his initial recovery, how could Nico Flamel send the Sorcerer's Stone to Hogwarts for safekeeping?"

"You should understand that his condition must be very bad and he must be in urgent need of the Philosopher's Stone for further recovery. Therefore, in order to protect the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen by him, I think you need us to escort you back to Hogwarts.

"

Hearing her words, Hagrid's rather ferocious-looking face revealed an expression of panic, while Jiang Jing and the other three, who were listening in confusion, did not dare to say a single unnecessary word, but straightened up unconsciously.

The lower back.

"You found out that the mysterious man has revived? He, he..."

After stammering for a few seconds, Hagrid's expression suddenly froze. Then, as if he was reminded by some unknown energy, he quickly regained his composure, "Did you just say... steal?"

Well? What's going on? Why did he suddenly change his appearance? Rossi thought in confusion, and said without changing his expression: "Yes, is there any problem?"

Hagrid nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"With the mysterious man's ability and power, it would be easy to take away the Magic Stone from my hand, but the word you just used was: 'steal'."

He mentioned Rossi's choice of words again, deliberately paused for a few seconds, and then continued:

"This means that you know that in his current state, he cannot snatch the magic stone from my hand, so you need to resort to stealing."

"If that's the case, why do I need your escort??"

Grasping the words used in the conversation partner's words and inferring the true meaning behind the other person's words is an ability that a normal adult possesses. Therefore, it is very reasonable for Hagrid to be able to detect this in time.

Uh...why did he suddenly become smart?

Just when Rossi was stunned by Hagrid's sharp words, he smiled and pulled Harry, who was still staring at the scenery outside the window, towards the door of the lounge.

"Of course, no matter what, I want to thank you for reminding me. I will pay more attention to it."

With that said, he opened the door and walked out without giving Rossi and others a chance to speak.

"This? What should we do next?" Erin looked at the door of the lounge that was closed again and couldn't help asking.

"Alas, the deception didn't work!" Abo sighed, "If you can't submit tangible evidence, you still can't convince an NPC with an online IQ."

"It seems there is no way to enter Hogwarts through him."

No, based on what I saw in the original work and my understanding of him, he shouldn't have noticed my choice of words. Rossi was very confused, but he couldn't explain it to his companions with a reasonable explanation, so he had to smile bitterly.

With a cry, I no longer have to worry about the underlying reasons.

"By the way, you just mentioned Harry Potter. What does his return to the wizarding world mean? According to the name of the game, he must be the protagonist of the game we are playing."

Obviously he and Rossi are both nineteen years old, but when thinking about problems, Jiang Jing has a mature temperament that does not suit his age.

"Can we find him and enter Hogwarts through him? After all, according to what I saw on the forum, Harry Potter is the savior of the wizarding world!"

Seeing the three people's eyes looking towards her, Rosie blinked her curled eyelashes, and then she chuckled and said, "Harry Potter, you have all seen him, he is the little boy just now!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Irene stood by the window in surprise and looked unblinkingly at the boy walking next to the hybrid giant downstairs, "Is he Harry Potter?"

"So that's it!"

There was a look of surprise on Abo's face, "No wonder he is also called the Boy-Who-Lived. 'At a young age, he made the ambitious Dark Lord Voldemort drink to death.' Judging from his age, this young age is not unavoidable.

Too young!"

…

"I thought of another question."

After Harry and Harry disappeared into the crowd, Jiang Jing, who didn't speak for a while, raised his hand to press the bridge of his nose, looked at Abo and asked, "How long is this mission? I didn't find its time limit on the mission panel.

"

Arbo sat on the sofa in front of Hagrid and said without thinking: "In mid-June, if we don't die due to some accidents, we will leave this instance due to mission failure in mid-June next year."

After saying that, he thought of something and added again: "But no matter how long you stay in this dungeon, the time after leaving the dungeon will be the early morning of the next day."

"Is there such a setting?" Erin said in surprise, "But according to the laws of the Super United States, the time of the virtual game cannot differ from the outside world by more than 12 hours? And doesn't the game cabin have the ability to increase the time span?

"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, it was always like this before." Abo shrugged indifferently and spread his hands, "And it doesn't affect anything. When the NPC's AI is the same as that of normal people, the time span

Instead, you can experience a more realistic magical world and wizard life."

Regarding the issue of time span in the game, although Abo and others are surprised, it is not unacceptable.

But for Rosie, she couldn't help but not think too much about it.

Almost all virtual games known to the Super United States have a 1:1 ratio with real time, but why does this game have such a long time span? Moreover, the description of the game cabin clearly mentions that it does not increase the time span.

Ability!

She kept thinking in her heart and subconsciously felt that this was a question worth exploring.

"Roxi?" Seeing that Rossi didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Jing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Um..." Rossi woke up from his thoughts and stayed for two seconds before slowly explaining, "I'm thinking about something."

"Then what should we do next? Should we go to Diagon Alley to look for clues?" Erin looked out the window and asked.

"Well, let's proceed as planned." Rossi nodded and replied.

With that said, several people stood up from the sofa. When they were walking out of the break, Rossi and the other three were about to walk out of Gringotts, but they saw Jiang Jing suddenly stopped when passing by the copper door leading to the vault.
