Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Isn't this dungeon a bit too complicated? We have to find things and defend strongholds. Can we really pass it with our abilities? To be honest, I feel that [Despair Town] is not open to first-year students at all." Luo

After listening to the prompt tone, Eun Zai showed a constipated expression.

"Don't be so pessimistic. We are here to stop Snape, and we don't necessarily have to clear the entire dungeon." Neville felt that they did not necessarily have to clear this dungeon.

"No!" Hermione shook her head and said calmly, "Although our goal is not to clear the level, the return passage is in the secret storage room after passing it. We can't stay in this ghost place forever, right?"

"Yes." Harry agreed at this time, "Did you hear what was said in the prompt? After clearing the level, there is not a return passage directly, but a secret storage point, which is probably where the magic stone is stored! If

We really can’t find Snape, so maybe we can only stay there to protect the Philosopher’s Stone!”

"In other words, we have to get through [Despair Town] no matter what? Whether it's returning or protecting the Philosopher's Stone." Neville sighed helplessly, "Then let's act quickly. First, look at the map to find out where the revelation document is.

where?"

"Um!"

Harry nodded, then spread the map on the table, and the other three people gathered around him.

From the map in front of them, everyone can clearly see the entire [Despair Town]. At the same time, the positions of the four people are also displayed in the form of a triangular arrow. As the people turn, the triangular icon on the map appears.

It will also change.

At the same time, there are a large number of bonfires and altar icons scattered throughout the map. Obviously, these are areas that can be used to eliminate fear values ​​and resurrect companions.

Moreover, after several people put on the goggles, a percentage progress bar was displayed conveniently on their sight. Currently, everyone is at 0%. It seems that this is the fear value mentioned in the prompt.

The location they were in at this time was an area in the southwest of the middle of the map of [Despair Town], a place called the 'Hunter Camp'. In addition to their house, there were two wooden houses next to it.

As for the locations of the three apocalyptic documents, they are located in the quarry to the west of them. From the map, the distance is not too far.

The other revelation document is at a gas station in the southeast of the middle of the map, and the last one is at an abandoned hut on the northeast side of the map, which is far away from them.

At the same time, several people also noticed that although the location of the revelation document was displayed on the map, it only highlighted a range on it and did not indicate which house or wilderness it was in.

So this means that they have to actively search for it after arriving at the relevant location.

"Damn, does this Town of Despair have to be so big?" Hermione muttered with some dissatisfaction after careful observation, "If the proportions on the map are correct, the area here is probably more than ten times larger than the ruins copy.

, the scale is already comparable to a real small town!”

"Maybe the professor really transformed a small town into this, with all kinds of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, police stations, and hospitals. I don't believe this was done temporarily." Ron couldn't help but sigh.

road.

"Let's stop talking about it now and hurry up. Since this place is so big, we may not be able to clear it in a day." Neville saw a few people still lingering there and couldn't help but urge.

Harry nodded when he heard this and said, "Then let's determine the route of action first. I suggest that we go to the quarry on the lower left first, then turn around and head towards the gas station, get the second revelation document, and finally head towards the farthest

Abandoned cabin moving.”

"In addition, in addition to looking for the revelation document along the way, we must also pay attention to Snape's movements. Please note that he is our first target. I think he should also be in Despair Town at this time, but the landing point is different from ours!

"

"I have no opinion!"

Hermione nodded, "But before you leave, please remember to search the surrounding rooms to see if there is anything useful."

After some discussion, several people quickly determined the course of action, and then began to search together as a group. They were new to the area and did not dare to disperse without clarifying the truth.

After arriving in the outside world, everyone discovered that this was indeed a real outdoor environment, and the surroundings were extremely gloomy. It was clearly approaching summer, but the air was full of moisture and coldness.

After a while, several people found a box of matches, two bottles of drinking water and three cans from several houses.

【Matchbox】

Number of matches: 3

Description: A fire starter that can be used to light a fire. The ignited fire source can slowly eliminate the fear value.

【Slightly contaminated pure water】

Description: The water source is drinkable, but it is contaminated by the abyss in [Despair Town]. After being used, the fear value will increase by 1-5 points.

[Slightly contaminated edible cans]

Description: Food that can fill your stomach, but it is contaminated by the abyss in [Despair Town]. After eating, it will increase the fear value by 1-5 points.

"It seems that everything in this town is contaminated." Hermione frowned as she looked at the descriptions of these foods, but she still accepted them first.

"I don't know what will happen when the so-called fear level is full. Everyone, please be careful!" Harry felt the strange atmosphere around him, calmed down and encouraged everyone.

After that, he took the lead and took a few people, and after finding the direction, he officially set off.

In the process of constant movement, except that the surrounding environment became increasingly sneaky, there was no danger encountered.

Not to mention dangerous, there was not even a single person in the wilderness, only trees and rocks, and a few people were walking along the dirt road.

The scope of the town of Despair is indeed ridiculously large. It took the foursome, walking and trotting, nearly half an hour to gradually approach the quarry where the apocalyptic documents were hidden.

At the same time, the fear value of several people also slowly increased to 6%, but they did not have any special feelings about this, and they did not know whether the so-called fear value was just a numerical value, or if there was another mystery behind it.

"Be careful, there's a figure ahead!"

After arriving at the outskirts of the quarry, the sharp-eyed Neville saw a figure standing fifty or sixty meters away from them. However, due to the dark sky, he could not see the detailed appearance at all, but the figure did not look like a living person at first glance.

, nine out of ten are the enemies here.

"There seems to be only one person, let's go over there first and take a look at the situation."

Facing the sudden appearance of enemies, Harry was not particularly afraid. After all, several of them had experienced many practical combat tests in the ruins dungeon, and their basic combat literacy was still very high.

Then the four of them quickly formed a column according to their fighting habits in the ruins dungeon, with Neville taking the lead. Since he has the most sensitive reactions and the highest physical fitness, his first duty is to open the way, and when necessary, he can hold down the enemy in close combat.

.

Following closely behind were Harry and Hermione, who were mainly responsible for attack and coordination, and were the main attackers.

At the back is Ron. Since he has the widest field of vision, he is responsible for breaking up the rear and guarding. Of course, he will also launch attacks during the battle.

After the four people formed a formation, they lowered their bodies and moved forward quietly. Only when they were about ten meters away from each other did they see the appearance of the enemy clearly.

This is a zombie-like monster, wearing tattered civilian uniforms, with peeling skin and ulcers on its face and hands. It looks hideous and terrifying. The name shown in the goggles is "Devil Servant".

Several people were a little disgusted after seeing each other's appearance. Compared with it, the skeleton looked very cute.

But their actions at this time were not slow. After Neville made a tactical gesture, the four of them spread out to both sides, quickly changed the formation from column to diagonal, and then launched an attack.

"Shattered to pieces!"

"Repulse quickly!"

"The flames are blazing!"

"There are many obstacles!"

Four magic spells were shot from the wand at almost the same time, which also reflected the tacit cooperation of several people.

And these magic bullets instantly approached the zombies on the opposite side, and they were about to hit, but something happened suddenly!

The zombie-like [Devil Servant] was also instantly awakened when the four people appeared, and suddenly roared ferociously, and then wisps of light blue electric sparks shot out from its body.

Immediately afterwards, it disappeared into the air in an instant between the attacks of magic spells, and flashed forward out of thin air a distance of three to four meters, just avoiding several volleys of magic spells. At the same time, it widened its eyes fiercely.

Rushing towards several people.

"Is there any mistake?"

The group of four never expected that the monster in front of them, which looked like a fish at first glance, could actually move instantly. Isn't this strength a bit beyond the scope?

But in the face of the enemies rushing towards them, several people instinctively launched a counterattack. Neville raised his hand and shot a petrification spell, then lowered his body and rushed out. He could not let the enemy break into the crowd.

The other three people did not hesitate at this time and fired several attack spells one after another.

However, this thin [Demon Servant] actually resisted the petrification curse, and at the same time, his whole body aroused electric lights and swung his sharp claws towards the oncoming Neville.

Neville saw that the opponent's body was full of electricity, and he didn't dare to greet him at all, so he could only quickly change direction and dodge.

Fortunately, just when the [Devil Servant] was about to pursue Neville, the other three spells were also in place. Several spells were bombarded on it, instantly changing the health bar above his head.

.

But this [Demon Servant] did not fall down immediately after the health bar was cleared. Instead, he wailed and exploded on the spot. A large amount of electric current sparks flew out in all directions, even shaking Neville who was not far away from him.

fall down.

"Neville, are you okay?"

Seeing Neville being affected by the enemy's self-destruction, Harry nervously rushed forward.

However, Neville's condition was not serious at this time, and he sat up from the ground without much effort.

"It's okay, the electric current damage caused by the enemy's self-destruction is not very large, it just has some slight paralysis effect." Neville checked himself and smiled.

But soon Neville stopped laughing. He seemed to have discovered something and tilted his head towards the crowd with a solemn expression, "Damn it, my fear value suddenly rose to 23% in an instant! Have you changed?"

"My fear value is now... 12%. Is it strange that I was not affected by the other party's current?" Harry frowned in confusion.

"I'm at 13% now!"

"Mine is 15%!"

Hermione and Ron also reported their current fear levels one after another.

Immediately afterwards, several people discovered something was wrong. If Neville's fear value soared to 23% because he was affected by the enemy's self-destruction, then why did the others' fear value increase for no reason?

Especially Ron, he was obviously at the back, but his fear value was second only to Neville among the four.

"Dear evil spirits, does this fear value increase based on how frightened we are?" Hermione compared the increase in fear values ​​of several people and speculated with some uncertainty.

"What?" After hearing Hermione's words, Ron jumped immediately, "Are you saying that my fear level grows quickly because I am timid? Impossible!"

"Really?" Hermione looked at Ron with some suspicion. She found that the man was sweating and looked completely frightened.

Thinking of this, Hermione quietly walked around behind Ron, pushed him hard, and shouted in his ear.

"ah!!!"

Ron was so frightened by Hermione's sudden attack that his hair stood on end. At the same time, he couldn't help but run forward several meters. He leaned against a dead tree with lingering fear. When he found out that Hermione was causing trouble, he yelled angrily, "What are you doing?"

Huh? In such a gloomy place, you still scare people."

"What's your current fear level?" Hermione didn't talk nonsense to Ron, but just stared at him with burning eyes.

"I..." Ron glanced at the upper right corner after hearing this, and then his expression froze, "It has now increased to 18%! Damn it, what the hell is this place?"

And just when Ron was feeling embarrassed, the dead tree behind him suddenly flashed a strange scarlet light. If you look carefully, you can see that the red light on the tree formed a ferocious human face, and the position of the mouth was even more...

There is a tree hole.

"Ouch!!"

The dead tree that suddenly sprouted a human face suddenly let out a shrill roar, and then the dead branch above its head turned into a big hand and picked up Ron from the ground in front of it!

"ah!!!"

Ron had no idea that he had just been frightened by one of his own, and that he would have to endure this kind of fright before he could recover. At this moment, he only felt that his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and his whole body had become so stiff that he had forgotten to take action.

The other three people were also shocked by this sudden turn of events.

You must know that their goggles can display the names of monsters, but there were no monster names around them just now, so they were relatively relaxed after getting rid of the [Devil Servants].

And the name "Dead Tree Possessed by Demons" appeared on the head of this dead tree. Obviously, this was an enemy that suddenly appeared.

"Save Ron quickly!"

After being frightened, Hermione yelled anxiously. At the same time, she was secretly blaming herself. Why was she so weak? If she hadn't scared Ron, this bad thing might not have happened.
