Hogwarts starts with stealing power
Chapter 315: Researchers Association with Dangers and Opportunities
The way to enter the Researchers Association is very unique.
It is similar to the way of replying to the letter.
Lin Xia put all the luggage into her traceless retractable ring, holding the White Fairy in her hand, and finally kissed the Gem Dragon on the forehead to say goodbye to it, and then returned to her tent.
She first took out the jasmine scented candles, lavender candles, and golden osmanthus candles needed for the ceremony.
The candles were placed in a triangular △ shape, with the jasmine candle as the most respected, and lit one by one.
In the fragrance of flowers, she took out rose essential oil, cinnamon essential oil, and tea tree essential oil, dripped them on the palms of her hands and soles of her feet, and then applied them evenly.
When her body was relaxed to the most relaxed moment, Lin Xia began to turn in circles, making a different gesture for each turn, and began to chant the relevant prayers and blessings for the Researchers Association.
Finally, she waved her wand and chanted the spell: "Phoenix reborn, explore the mystery of research."
The next second.
A black vortex appeared in the air, and it grew larger and larger, enough to accommodate Lin Xia alone, and then froze.
Lin Xia looked at the vortex curiously, stood out of the triangle, and circled around it a few times, wanting to study it.
But suddenly, Lin Xia found that the vortex began to shrink, and she no longer hesitated and walked in immediately.
A strong daylight came, and Lin Xia subconsciously closed her eyes.
There was no dizziness as imagined, and no discomfort. Lin Xia just closed her eyes, and when she felt that she could open her eyes, she had come to a completely unfamiliar place.
This is a silver-white space, and everything in sight is dazzling white, as if there is no dust or dirt.
"Clean" is Lin Xia's first impression of this place.
"Too clean" is her second thought.
Going to extremes is not a good way for anyone, anything, or anywhere.
"Welcome to the Researchers Association, dear scholar Lin Xia."
Pun Skoggar's voice came.
Lin Xia looked up and found him standing not far away, wearing a black cape that covered his body. The skull looked elegant and handsome against the fluttering black hood.
Lin Xia:...
Being a skeleton can exude such charm. How popular was he before he became a skeleton?
This damn charm that has nowhere to go!
Lin Xia thought, no matter how handsome Lockhart is, he can never compare to the original appearance of this skeleton.
"Thank you for your invitation, Professor Puen."
The two hugged each other politely, and Puen said: "The last time I saw you on the magic bus, I felt that you were extraordinary. Even a research madman like Anil has set his sights on you. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Lin Xia's expression remained unchanged: "Research madman? Is Anil very famous in the Researchers Association?"
Puen shook his head and said: "A research madman who has gone the wrong way, if it weren't for his enthusiasm for research, the Researchers Association would have taken action to destroy him. Letting him live well is the last mercy of the Researchers Association."
Repeatedly mentioning Anil is more like a warning than a discussion of this person.
Lin Xia said lightly: "I thought he had joined the Researchers Association."
Puen smiled magnetically: "Lin Xia, our standards are not that low. People who only stick to the glory of the past have no sense of innovation at all."
They walked out of the silver-white platform, and when they walked to some specific steps, the magic runes imprinted on the steps would flash a white light, as if it were some kind of test and judgment.
When they came to the edge, Lin Xia saw many doors.
The magic world likes to use the element of "door".
Whether it is Hogwarts, Gringotts, or the current Researchers' Association, Lin Xia has the impression that there are "many doors".
Puen Skoggar led her to a door inlaid with skulls and said, "I am your guide. Come to my office first and I will introduce you to the Researchers' Association."
Lin Xia had no objection.
After passing through this skull door, the light suddenly dimmed. Lin Xia blinked and quickly adapted to the light. She could see the scene in the room clearly.
A dim chandelier hung from the ceiling, and the swaying light cast mottled shadows on the wall.
Professor Puen turned himself into a skull, and his office decoration was also full of skull elements.
There was an oversized table in the corner of the office.
It was made of some large bones, and there was a long tailbone on the edge with the tip of the tail on the left end crossing over, which made Lin Xia think that it might be a dragon bone or the bone of some lizard.
On the desk, there were some documents and parchments scattered around, and a skull on the left.
The skull was empty, and when Lin Xia looked at it, a faint blue flame suddenly burst out of its eyes, as if it was alive.
Lin Xia was startled.
On one side of the desk, there were densely packed bookshelves, piled with yellowed books and scrolls, and some secrets seemed to be hidden between the pages.
Lin Xia felt something strange, and her eyes flickered. These books gave her the same feeling as the banned books in the forbidden book area.
Although these books looked normal and had not turned into anything.
Just behind the desk, there was a huge world map, densely marked with many strange symbols and notes.
Below the map was a bronze globe, which kept turning, as if anchored to a certain coordinate.
Puen's voice sounded: "Sit down."
In this office, his voice sounded like he had a stereo.
Lin Xia subconsciously sat down and suddenly realized that she had just completed this action automatically and consciously without any awareness of her own.
In other words, she unintentionally did what Puen said!
Hypnosis?
Lin Xia's heart was slightly frightened, and he secretly became vigilant. At the same time, he quietly ran the "Nine Heavens Xuanyang Secret Record·Melting Furnace".
Her body gradually gained a touch of warmth, which dispelled the cold that had gathered invisibly in the room and made her feel more at ease.
After Lin Xia sat down, she immediately glanced around with the corner of her eye.
The location she was in was just a corner of the office.
This office is much wider than imagined, and it should use various seamless expansion and contraction space technologies.
Suddenly, she saw a pile of skeletons placed in the corner. The skeletons had different shapes and positions.
When she looked into their empty eye sockets, Lin Xia had a feeling that she was also being watched by them.
The skeletons and skulls that appear in the office are definitely not ordinary things!
While she was thinking, Puen's voice also sounded: "Let me introduce you to the Researchers Association first. You only need to remember 4 words here - [Research First]!
You can study the mysteries of life and death, and you can also gain insight into the mysteries of time and space. The Research Association will try its best to help you with the scene. "
Lin Xia: "Help on the scene?"
There was a "click, click" sound from Puen's skull, as if he was smiling.
"Yes, if you want to study life and death, the Researchers Association can take you to a place where you can explore life and death, where the traces of life and death are extremely obvious."
Lin Xia asked calmly: "What do I need to pay for this?"
Pu En said appreciatively: "It is impossible to say that you don't have to pay at all. How much help the Researchers Association gives you, you have to give the association your research results accordingly.
You can rest assured that the Researchers Association will not misuse your results and will generally only provide them for internal communication. At the same time, if others want to know your results, they will have to pay something.
If your results are deemed by the Researchers Association to be very suitable for promotion to the outside world, then you will receive another research point from the association.
Research points are the common currency of the Researchers Association. You need to use research points for everything here, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, checking information, and applying for help from others. "
A flash of orange flame flashed in Puen's empty eye sockets, which made him look less spooky and more charming.
But Lin Xia did not relax, but was very vigilant.
"Lin Xia, you don't have to be so nervous. I just want to give you a suggestion to get as many research points as possible in the Researchers Association."
Poon noticed her uneasiness and said in a soft voice:
"You are a formally invited member of the Researchers Association. You have your own independent office. There is an introduction book in the office. You can also ask the devil and it will answer everything for you."
Lin Xia felt that she was almost leaving.
She seized the moment and asked a question: "I am a formally invited member of the association, so is there an informal one?"
Puen said without hesitation: "Of course, the Researcher Association is the holy place for researchers in the wizarding world, but we only take the best of the best.
Every member who can be invited to join must have his own strength recognized by 2/3 of the formal members before he can be added.
In addition to formal members, there are many wizards who want to be our handymen and assistants, and every year researchers will select a group to come in. "
Lin Xia couldn't help but ask: "Then the official members won't be eliminated?"
Pu En looked at her calmly: "I would like to continue communicating with you, but Lin Xia, you have to leave now."
His skull made another "click, click" sound, and he said with some regret: "Our time to talk is over."
Lin Xia suddenly felt that the space around her became distorted, and her body felt like it was being squeezed, which made her stand up involuntarily.
Then she saw that the scene in front of her was also constantly distorting. Puen's head was twisted under his body, and the pile of skeletons in the distance seemed to be moving.
Suddenly, Lin Xia realized that it was not Pu En who was twisting, but her!
The next moment, she returned to the silver-white space before.
Looking up, the high platform we came down from before has disappeared.
Looking around, all the doors that appeared before disappeared, leaving only an ordinary bronze door.
Suddenly a mechanical voice sounded around: "Researcher Lin Xia, please go to your personal office."
Lin Xia couldn't help but ask: "Demon spirit, can I go somewhere else first?"
The demon replied: "You can only activate other permissions by going to the office first. You must first fully understand the association."
Lin Xia no longer hesitated and pushed open the bronze door in front of her.
…
After Lin Xia left, whispers sounded again in Puen's office.
These sounds came from the pile of skeletons in the corner.
At the same time, one after another will-o'-the-wisps of different colors rose in the sky.
"It's rare to find a little witch who is not affected by Puen's charm. It seems that her resistance is very high."
"Hahaha, I have long said that Poon's charm cannot be cross-species. He turned himself into this look, and the witches want to run away when they see him!"
"Come on, if your wife hadn't been addicted to Skull Poon, how could you have come to work as his handyman. In the end, you owed so many research points and had no choice but to sell your soul to him!"
One skeleton said regretfully: "I thought she could become one of us, but now I think it may be difficult. Puen was actually alerted by the witch."
Pu En did not listen to the harsh words of these skeletons. They were just a bunch of ants doing work for him.
However, Lin Xia's resistance to his charm was so high, which surprised him.
He lowered his head. There was a file on the table with all Lin Xia's information written on it.
A flash of green flame flashed out of his empty eye sockets, and it stayed on the column "Completely Resist the Evil God's Whispering" for a long time.
Pu En murmured to himself: "What an excellent piece of material!"
-
Lin Xia came to his office.
Her office is a very standard ordinary office room. Whether it is the table, chairs or the wall behind it, they are all ordinary and simple.
Maybe she was looking at her office for a while and was sensed by the devil. The devil asked:
"Researcher Lin Xia, are you dissatisfied with the decoration style of your office? You can spend some research points on stylistic modifications."
A light blue light screen shone in front of her, with Lin Xia's photo and various data on it.
Lin Xia (formal researcher)
Identity: Hogwarts student, top student, Romanian supernumerary fire dragon breeder, Barbourine's favorite, suspected heir to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets
Research points: 10 points
Research Topic: None
The 10 points were given as a gift by the Researchers Association after he first became a member. Because he was not sure whether the research points would be difficult to obtain, Lin Xia did not plan to use them yet.
She focused on the "Identity" column and asked the demon: "How was this information collected?
The demon spirit replied in a soft voice: "The Researcher Association has the resident cursed sage's eye. This information was collected by the aftermath of the power of the sage's words as member information of the Researcher Association."
Lin Xia asked: "Does everyone know my identity?"
Demon Spirit said: "If a formal researcher does not have permission, he cannot check the permissions of other formal researchers, except for law enforcement officers. But if law enforcement officers want to check it, they also need to review it."
Lin Xia thought for a while and asked, "Can my identity be encrypted and protected?"
Demon Spirit: "It requires research points to upgrade. The minimum protection point is 10 points. Even law enforcers need to go through a more rigorous review before they can view it."
Lin Xia asked again: "If I do an experiment, should I use the research point?"
Demon Spirit: "The Researcher Association provides members with basic experimental equipment and related basic knowledge for free. If you need additional help, you only need to use the research point."
The light screen in front of Lin Xia changed again, and various places that needed to be studied were listed on it.
