The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

When Dumbledore was speaking, a message that the task was completed also popped up on Tom's side.

[Slaying Demons on Horseback (Prologue)·The final mission is completed, and you have automatically obtained the qualification to start the mission of Killing Demons on Horseback (Act 2)

Mission description: All the eroded animals in Burnham Manor have been removed, but is this disaster really over?

Mission reward: Fate of Destiny

Anniversary Celebration (Act 1) Begins]

[Anniversary Celebration (Act 1) Content: Self-selected five-star UP pool]

"Fuck!" Tom became excited just after seeing the first scene of the anniversary celebration. This reward alone made Tom feel that the battle just now was not in vain. If he had just slipped away, this self-selected UP pool would have become ten in a row! And in addition to the self-selected UP pool, 30 draws were also given out!

30 draws of Destined Edge are equivalent to 4800 magic stones! Even if it’s a limited time only, it’s still a solid 30 draws!

Tom felt that based on the nature of his own system, this limited-time destiny should only be used for the current UP pool. Unexpectedly, it was actually for the self-selected five-star pool. Currently, Tom's current UIP pool is still the Lockhart pool. First of all, it must be clear that this is a super poisonous pool, and drawing Lockhart will not bring any improvement to Tom.

Tom didn't want to touch this pool.

Because there is no improvement if Lockhart is not drawn, but there is a negative improvement after drawing Lockhart!

How can a five-star character be negatively promoted if he is drawn? Naturally, it’s because of the system’s card pool mechanism: 90 rounds with a small guarantee (five-star guarantee, but the UP probability is only 50% for the period, and there is an additional 50% chance of drawing Professor Trelawney—and other resident five-stars), 180 rounds Big guarantee (make sure the five stars must be UP for the current period)

Under this mechanism, various pools cannot be randomly drawn, because according to the system settings, the guarantee is inherited. Guaranteed inheritance means that the amount drawn from the previous pool will be "adopted" to the next pool. Take the Lockhart pool as an example. If Tom had drawn 130 rounds in the previous pool of Lockhart Pool, Quirrell Pool, but failed to draw Quirrell, then according to the guaranteed inheritance mechanism, he would only need to draw at most Quirrell in the Lockhart Pool. It takes 60 rounds to draw Lockhart, and it will never go awry.

If Tom thinks Lockhart is a waste and skips this pool, then in the pool behind Lockhart, Tom only needs 60 rounds to ensure that he fishes out the current UP

Notice the problem now? If these thirty rounds of Destiny can only draw Lockhart's pool, then this is a pit dug by the system for Tom, and it is by no means a benefit. Because if Tom fires thirty rounds and pulls out Lockhart, his guarantee will be gone! The UP behind Lockhart might take more than a hundred rounds to extract!

This is negative lift.

But this time the system has a very rare conscience and allows Tom to leave these destined characters to the self-selected five-star pool. Then there is no negative promotion, because the self-selected five-star is the character that Tom wants to draw, and the drawn one is a positive improvement.

After Tom finished researching this, he turned his attention to the option of self-selecting five-star characters. He wanted to know which five-star characters he could choose. If it was limited to the permanent pool, Tom would have no objection. After all, there was a character in the permanent pool that he wanted to play more times.

Not Professor McGonagall, not Professor Snape or Professor Flitwick, but Professor Trelawney. This professor can only improve the divination talent, but can do nothing else - he cannot give magic spells, and cannot improve other talents, which seems extremely useless. But Tom couldn't help but had some other ideas about divination.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the fact that divination is not a scam, it can really predict the future. Professor Trelawney insists on making this powerful branch of magic look like a fraud, or because of his lack of talent. If you have enough talent, you can be called a "prophet".

Tom happened to be able to improve his divination talent.

The self-selected five-star interface is also very interesting. On the far left is a line of big words: Choose UP five-star wizard. Next to the big words are a group photo of several professors. Tom was surprised to see Dumbledore among them, and there was a word in front of him: " recommend". In addition to the five resident professors and the replica Professor Dumbledore, there is also a black silhouette with a question mark on it.

Tom clicked on the silhouette, and the system showed that it was a mysterious character, and also issued a chocolate frog-style card to Tom. The character scraped from the card can be added to the selection category of the card pool as the fifth character in this free selection pool.

Tom felt that he was in good condition today, so he flipped the card over. This card actually had dynamic drawings and dubbing. As the front was opened, a somewhat deep voice came:

"For the greater good!" A middle-aged wizard with silver hair and heterochromatic eyes gracefully waved the wand in his hand, and a blue ring of fire appeared in front of him.

Gellert Grindelwald!

There is also a short introduction to Grindelwald below the card: Gellert Grindelwald, one of the most powerful dark wizards in history. He had planned to find the Deathly Hallows, become the master of Death, and use this power to lead a revolution in the wizarding world, overthrow the International Statute of Secrecy, and establish a new global order led by wise and powerful wizards and witches. In 1945, he was defeated by Dumbledore in a legendary duel and was imprisoned in Nurmengard Castle that he built himself.

Tom: Damn it!

He felt like his entire life's luck had been used to draw this card.

He directly picked Grindelwald in seconds. Before this character came out, Tom originally planned to use Dumbledore as the self-selected five-star in this card pool, but didn't he find Grindelwald...

Glancing at Dumbledore, who was standing next to him and looking ignorant, Tom said that Dumbledore was no worse than Grindelwald, but he couldn't stand it. One had already drawn it, and the other hadn't unlocked the illustrated book yet. Compared with having a high life, , Tom, a zero-Krypton player, naturally tends to unlock the illustrated book first.

Okay, Tom stopped pretending, he showed his cards right: he just wanted to slap Grindelwald. Tom has been holding the magic stone and not taking out the pool before, just for today. He has been waiting for Grindelwald since the server started! Although drawing five stars can improve his learning efficiency, with tens of thousands of magic stones, he may only be able to draw 2-3 five stars. It really won't do much to strengthen him. Instead, he will not have enough stones when he meets the character he wants to draw. .

Think about it, if all the stones were wasted before, and now facing the Grindelwald Pool, only thirty Fateful Edges were given. Isn’t this a loss of blood?

Tom also knew that the UP pool he opened was extremely closely related to real-life events. For example, talking to Dumbledore previously opened the "Fire Phoenix" pool, and killing Quirrell opened the "Evil Soul Confused Heart" pool. So I have been thinking about how to go to Nurmengard, meet Grindelwald, and then open Grindelwald's UP pool.

Although Tom knew that Nurmengard Castle was located at the border between Austria and Switzerland and could most likely be found in the Alps, he did not set out directly. First, this kind of search is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Voldemort has been looking for Grindelwald for a while when he mobilized his Death Eaters. It will only be harder to find him on his own.

Besides, so what if I find it? Do you really think there are no protective spells and guards outside Nurmengard Castle? How can it be! That was the place where Grindelwald was imprisoned. There would be at least a few warning spells, right? Voldemort seemed to have come in easily, but it was Voldemort, who knew how he got in. Tom was sure that Dumbledore would know about this the moment he arrived outside the castle.

Dumbledore was very tolerant of himself, but this tolerance also had limits. Tom felt that even though he pretended to be a professor, led students to skip school and absenteeism, and used public services for personal gain, he was still a good student. But I really can't explain my motivation for going to Nurmengard - it would be great fun if Dumbledore thought that I was a remnant of the saints.

After selecting Grindelwald, he showed an evil smile, then turned into fragments and disappeared. At the same time, Lockhart's pool seemed to have been wiped away, gradually disappearing from the [Prayer] interface, replaced by a brand new self-selected five-star pool.

[Dear travellers, the "One Dream" event prayer is now open, and the probability of "One Dream Grindelwald (Ice)" is up!

"There is actually "Fire Protection"" Tom became excited. He was deeply impressed by this skill. Although it was nicknamed Grindelwald's gas stove, it was a combination of offense and defense. If he knew "Fire Protection", he wouldn't have been in the mansion just now. It will be so embarrassing, and the "Apparition" and "Cruciatus Curse" that are UP at the same time are also very attractive.

[Details] shows that this time the five-star skill is the same as before. The fragment explosion rate of the five-star skill is equivalent to 4 stars, but 7 fragments are needed to synthesize the complete skill. "Okay," Tom felt like he was really going to feel good this time. This was the victory of the Hamster Party!

At this time, Dumbledore patted Tom on the shoulder and motioned for him, Harry and Ron to hold their arms tightly. Fawkes, the phoenix, had come to him at some point. This time, it did not sing, but stood quietly beside Dumbledore. On Bledo's shoulders.

Dumbledore pulled the three people and nodded gently to Fox. Tom had a feeling that Fawkes seemed to have rolled his eyes, looking very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's overload. But after all, the subordinates and students were watching, and Fox was too embarrassed to embarrass Dumbledore, so he could only fly back to Hogwarts with the four of them with hatred.

The experience of flying in Phoenix is ​​completely different from the previous modes of transportation. In the blink of an eye, a few people arrived at the gate of Hogwarts from the outskirts of Bristol. There was no feeling of squeezing, no dizziness, no exposure to wind and sun, just A warm current flows through the body.

Fox didn't want to waste another second and simply disappeared. Dumbledore led three students into the gate of Hogwarts in the rising sun.

For wizards and Muggles alike, the sun rises. Tom ended his adventure and returned to Hogwarts. Jim Harker, the Minister of Administrative Affairs, also woke up from his sleep and went to work in the Administrative Affairs Office.

But before he could sit still, he was frightened by a message on the radio and jumped up from his chair.

"Today...Bristol...fire..."

"Bristow, fire?!" Huck was so frightened that his glasses fell into his coffee cup, because there was an extremely sad fact: the fire protection department was also under the management of his administrative affairs department.

The Department of Administrative Affairs (DAA) is known as a political graveyard because Humphrey, the DAA’s permanent secretary, is known to trick ministers. Under Humphrey's various offensives, the average term of previous cabinet ministers was even less than 11 months.

Although the DAA is the political graveyard of ministers, it does not mean that the department is insignificant. On the contrary, this department is the most important department in Great Britain and can be called a mini-cabinet. Somewhat similar to Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The areas that the DAA and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications are responsible for include, but are not limited to: the country's administrative system, local self-government and public entities, postal communications, fire safety, and the mining industry - they even have a say in the recruitment and appointment of civil servants.

Only a strong civil servant like Humphrey could run such a monster department.

The negative effect of having too much power is that you never know when a big pot will fall from the sky. For example, Huck now feels that he has firmly shouldered the blame.

"The fire in Bristol is none of my business!" Huck wanted to shout this. He even found out about it through the news. But there is no way, who asked his DAA to also be responsible for fire protection...

"Minister, the MI6 representative you have reserved has arrived," Huck's secretary Bernard pushed the door open. Huck calmed down a little and followed the agent to MI6.

As soon as Huck arrived at the gate of the office building, he saw several black limousines roaring out. The people inside were in black suits and sunglasses, and looked invincible. They were so flamboyant that they were afraid that others would not know that they were agents.

"This is……"

"Top secret, Minister." The representative seemed unwilling to reveal more. "They have official business in Bristol."

Huck forced out an awkward smile and complained in his heart: Since it is a top secret, why are you talking nonsense!

The agent representative took Huck all the way to the video room.

"Minister, this is the surveillance video from the supermarket in front of the embassy. Please remember that this video has nothing to do with the government!" The agent representative opened a chair for Hakla and asked him to sit on it.

Huck sat on the chair and carefully watched the video from last night.
