Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

late at night

A small room in the alchemy workshop is still filled with dim light.

Sitting in front of his desk, Xifa kept drawing the terrain map in the air, and the terrain of the third trial was shrunk in front of his eyes according to a certain proportion.

After filling in the last stroke of the topographic map, Xifa moved his finger, and four light spots and a cloud of black mist appeared in the map.

Then start moving at a certain speed.

No...you will be caught up and lose a piece of cloth.

Still not working, we are safe, but the mecha dragon did not fall into the trap...

On the first day of the trial, Xifa obviously couldn't pass the level perfectly in one go.

In my haste during the day, I couldn't escape and lost a piece of cloth.

Xifa then understood the significance of the existence of this mecha dragon.

This is a ‘stumbling block’.

You have to chase him through the maze behind him to reach a safe location.

This afternoon, the four people spent all their scraps and obtained a lot of information.

The mechanical dragon has a weakness, that is, it is not sensitive to its own body, which means that it can hide under its feet for a short time.

Its attention can be briefly attracted by the buzzing sound.

In other words, as long as one person is about to be overtaken and others make a buzzing sound, the dragon will hesitate while the sound reverberates.

At this time, as long as the person being chased hides under his feet, the others will make another buzzing sound.

Then the dragon will change its target.

With the tacit understanding of the four of them, it will be very easy to pass this trial tomorrow.

But, in the final safe place.

Western France understood the real treasure left by Professor Dumbledore.

That is the complete magic pattern of war! And it is a magic pattern integrating offense and defense.

To be honest, Xifa is very interested in this magic.

Why do you say that?

Because general magic patterns are time-sensitive.

To put it simply, it needs to be drawn in one go, and then the effect disappears.

But this kind of magic pattern will not.

It can be deployed bit by bit, and when it is completely completed, an ordinary Auror can trap a city for a long time by presiding over this magic!

This is not the most precious thing, but when the magic pattern is running, the magic transfer logic needs to be observed in real time.

Just like the ideas for solving math problems, Western France needs to learn from Professor Dumbledore's way of thinking when setting up large-scale magic!

But the magic circle will not reveal its true colors obediently.

Only when the dragon is within a certain range, this magic circle will activate its effect to restrain it.

And only in the magic circle can you see the magic patterns composed of the magic circle.

Of course, how could Professor Dumbledore, who was full of bad taste, easily allow one person to see the whole picture?

Xifa found that the more people there were inside, the more complex the changes he saw.

Therefore, Xifa is now deducing how to seduce him step by step to ensure that the dragon and the four of his party arrive at the destination at the same time!

squeak--

The wooden door of the study room was pushed open by a white and slender hand.

Hearing the sound, Xifa, who was deep in thought, subconsciously turned his head to look.

Seeing a familiar figure, his confused eyes regained their clarity.

"Looking at your expressions...it's not like my suspicion has come true, right?!"

Tonight, it was not Cassandra who went to the main castle alone. Elise and Luna also put down their work at Xifa's request and went to the main castle with Cassandra.

"It started off fine, but at the height of the melee, a young wizard was cut in half!"

"No little wizard has ever suffered such serious injuries! So we intervened forcefully and ended tonight's duel!"

Hmm...is the asylum magic already so fragile?

No! That’s not entirely true!

At that time, we didn’t know how much black magic was involved in the melee, nor how much magic interacted with each other to cause qualitative changes.

It stands to reason that as long as the damage received exceeds a certain threshold, the magic received will turn into a coma spell.

However, maybe under the influence of the growing anger, some young wizard will find a dark magic to bypass the asylum magic!

But anyway, it’s time to end!

"Now, has Principal Slughorn banned them from fighting in the castle?"

No matter how you look at it, as long as this behavior of consuming shelter magic for no reason is stopped, everything will be restored as before.

It’s the last two months, let yourself finish this semester safely!

Otherwise, you will die miserably!

Xifa sighed deeply in his heart, and then made up his mind that as long as the man behind the scenes dared to disturb his stable campus life this year, he would go all out to teach him a lesson!

I thought that the principal would ban the fighting between the two colleges. However, Luna's next words made Xifa a little stunned.

"It's banned, but not completely banned! Even under my threat! Horace only changed the duel to once every three days! And he only started to implement this change after the fourth trial ended!"

After Luna complained with an angry expression, she strolled behind Xifa.

He pressed Xifa's head on his chest and massaged Xifa vigorously with both hands. However, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like he was secretly poking Xifa, asking him to find a way to help him breathe out.

The touch of softness and joints was transmitted to the brain through the skull, and the head that was somewhat heated by Xifa's deduction began to cool down.

After he thought about it carefully, he opened his eyes again.

Cassandra and Elise had already moved the chairs and sat in front of them facing each other.

The aroma of black tea reached the tip of his nose. Xifa looked in the direction and found a disk on the table with four cups of black tea on it.

He stretched out his hand to fetch a cup of black tea and drank it. After stopping Luna who wanted to refill the cup, Xifa threw the cup back to its original place.

"What reason did Principal Slughorn use to block your questioning?"

Xifa raised his head slightly, and Luna, who was in close contact with him, naturally understood that he was asking himself.

She kept moving her hands and answered softly.

"He said, 'Albus, asked me not to end the struggle between the two colleges under any circumstances, and he will bear all the consequences!'"

In the same tone of force, Luna gave people a pitiful feeling when she said it.

And Horace Slughorn...probably disgusted them and ran away with a shower of snot and tears...

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Since Professor Dumbledore guarantees it, it means that he is planning something else! But it doesn't matter, as long as it is not against you, I don't mind making a contribution at the right time.

!”

"Hey? Have you seen through Professor Dumbledore's arrangement?"

Elise stared at herself with wide eyes, and her tone of voice became a little higher. Obviously, she was expecting an explanation from herself.

Of course, Xifa himself had no intention of hiding anything, but Elise's attitude made it easier for Xifa to answer the question.

"I dare not say that I have seen through it, I can only say that I have made a guess!"

"Let me ask you, if you feel that you are being watched in the auditorium, what will you do?"

After listening to Xifa's question, Elise answered without any hesitation.

"Generally speaking, I would know who is looking at me! But obviously, you mean that I didn't find out the person who had ill intentions towards me at the first time! So, I chose to take out my wand and put on a protection for myself first

Magic, and then release all your detection magic without distinction! If necessary! Use sharp fire or hellfire to clear the way! Meet you quickly!"

…

"Well said! But... forget it! It's okay! Luna, what about you?"

Indeed, Elise only has her own people in her eyes. If there is an uncontrollable danger that threatens her, she will not hesitate to put her own interests first.

I hope Luna’s answer won’t make her eyes darken!

"Me? I have the same idea as before... okay! The difference is probably that I will run away without hesitation!"

Also... Luna has been trading potions on the black market since she was a child. If there is any trouble, running away is the best solution!

"What about you? Cassandra!"

Facing the attention of everyone, Cassandra was a little embarrassed because her ideas were completely different from Elise and Luna.

"First of all, if I can detect it, then I will basically have the confidence to escape! If it's something I can't observe!"

"There are only two possibilities! One is that the strength is far stronger than mine! But if such a person has any ill intentions towards me, then he can directly take action! The other is that the strength is not as strong as mine, but he just relies on alternative magic means to hide

My own figure!"

"I understand! The professor is trying to lure the snake out of its hole!"

Cassandra has said this, and Elise understands the professor's purpose.

However, she still had some doubts.

"But why do we take the initiative to weaken the asylum magic? Isn't this very detrimental to us? Could it be that the professor wants to use the old excuse to stop most people's mouths?"

The old excuse is of course for the greater good.

Naturally, Xifa and the others believed that if they sacrificed some people, they could uncover a hidden danger that could detonate Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore would abandon this group of people without hesitation.

"It seems that the Allies are preparing to counterattack."

After a short silence, Xifa suddenly murmured.

"What?" Why is it brought to the front line of the war again?

"If there is a counterattack, Professor Dumbledore, or most of the high-level combat forces will tend to the other side of the sea. At this time, if Hogwarts is detonated, it may distract the professors on the front line."

“After all, it’s better to sacrifice a small number of people in exchange for greater benefits!”

Elise complained after being used several times.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have just deduced it many times, but I still can't find a way to trap the mechanical dragon without injury! Come and take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three-dimensional view of the underground palace was projected above everyone.

However, Xifa, who raised his head and expected new ideas, did not notice that the three women were looking at him with complicated eyes.

After hearing no words for a long time, Xifa had no choice but to shift his gaze, only to find the care in everyone's eyes.

"…What am I did wrong?"

Somewhat confused, Xifa asked cautiously.

"You idiot! Research and clearance do not need to be completed at the same time!"

The unanimous scolding made Xifa wake up.

Yes, clearing the level is clearing the level. Trapping the dragon and activating the magic circle does not conflict with it!

Usually they only need to trap the dragon to study the magic circle, and pass the trial perfectly on the last day!
