Chapter 75 Combination of Curses
Daphne has already understood the principle behind it, and now she is eager to try, "So, we should not blindly attack the enemy, but at the same time of attacking and defending, we must find a way to limit the range of action the opponent can take, right?"
Seeing that Schelling nodded, Meredith also asked: "I still have a question. Regarding combined spells, I feel that there is still a lot of potential that can be developed. Do you have any other examples to share?"
Since Xie Lin has made up his mind to train the two girls as his left and right arms, he naturally won't hide his secrets. "There are many other examples of this. For example, when facing enemies with high magic defense, such as werewolves and trolls, you can first use the 'Corruption Curse' or 'Hardening Curse' to destroy their skin in a specific area, and then add a Cutting Curse or Crushing Curse on the same position, so that the second wave of attacks can more effectively break through the magic defense on the opponent's skin. Of course, it is not easy to do this, and there are stricter requirements for shooting accuracy."
"What is the Corruption Curse? Why have I never heard of it?" Daphne raised a new question without restraint.
"This is a spell I just invented. It is improved from the water-making spell. It can spray highly corrosive strong acid. At the same time, I invented the 'Slime Curse', which can spray highly viscous paste. It can be used to create terrain that restricts the opponent's movement. It is also a very practical spell." Xie Lin took out the notes on these two spells that he wrote from his pocket, and handed them to Daphne and Meredith. .”
Then Xie Lin brought the topic back to combination spells, "There are still many combination spells for single-target attacks. As long as you think carefully, it's not difficult for you to come up with your own combination. For example, 'Incisor Match Big Stick' can make people grow incisors that can't close their mouths. You may wish to imagine what effect it will have if it is combined with the maniacal laughter spell 'Grin Hula La'?"
Daphne chuckled, "Schelin, you are so bad. Then that person can't keep his mouth shut and laugh."
Xie Lin shook his head and explained earnestly: "I'm not trying to play tricks. Think about it, whether it's a tongue-locking spell or a front-tooth-smacking stick, it's just an attack method that makes it difficult for people to recite spells clearly. However, students above grade 5 must learn silent casting. Maybe not everyone can learn it in the end, but there must be many people who know how to cast silently. To deal with these people, the above two spells will not be effective."
Xie Lin changed the subject, "But—think about it, if the mantra is paired with the Laughter Curse, wouldn't the opponent be able to cast silent spells? You know, laughter is also one of the syllables, enough to interfere with silent spellcasting."
(Note: After being hit by a single Laughing Curse, you can still hold back the laughter and cast the spell for a short time, but you can't hold back the laughter when you can't keep your mouth shut)
Both Daphne and Meredith are ice-snow and clever characters, and they were able to understand a little bit after being pointed out by Schelling. At this moment, they seemed to be quiet on the surface, but they were actually thinking about how to combine the spells they knew one by one.
Since that day's training, the two girls seemed to have discovered a new world. Some new combined spell ideas kept popping up in their minds. Some of them were not bad, and some made Xie Lin laugh.
The two Huizhilanxin girls also never asked Xie Lin why he suddenly became active in training them. All they had to do was to cooperate unconditionally.That's because they also know that as long as they keep up with their own strength, Xie Lin will naturally tell them what they should know. If their strength is not enough, it is useless to know more.
Xie Lin didn't say anything, but seeing the two girls who were supposed to be daughters and loved so hard and so severely urged him to practice magic, how could he not understand their thoughts in his heart, and while he was secretly moved, he could only secretly hide this thought in his heart.
At the same time, Schelling's research on Death's invisibility cloak was also quite smooth. He had successfully deciphered the main principle of Death's invisibility cloak. This was because Schelling had obtained a complete inheritance from Nicole Flamel, and the alchemy course this semester also supplemented his basic knowledge appropriately, making his alchemy a qualitative leap.
Ordinary invisibility cloaks are woven from the fur of invisible beasts, but the Death Invisibility Cloak is engraved with an invisibility effect by using an ancient runic charm "Hulinhjalmur" from Iceland. This magic talisman represents "invisible helmet" in the ancient runic language.
The composition of this Guruni magic talisman is quite complicated. Its figure consists of a circle in the center, a square rotated 45 degrees and an octagon. There are eight protruding fork-shaped patterns in the outermost octagon.
Even so, there are other secrets hidden in the invisibility cloak of the god of death, and it is by no means simply engraved with an ancient runic talisman.Schelling used more than 300 detection methods on the Reaper's invisibility cloak, and only detected most of the materials.
What is certain is that the pigment used to engrave the Guruni Talisman must be a drop of blood from the index finger of the left hand and a drop of blood from the index finger of the right hand, and then draw six drops of blood from the heart of a living raven, and then need to mix these eight drops of blood with the brain of the raven to make a paint.
After researching here, Schelling encountered a bottleneck—he experimented on several pieces of experimental cloth, all of which failed without exception.Obviously, in addition to the pigment, the chisel used to engrave the runes must also have some specific needs-Schelling tried a sterling silver chisel, a bronze chisel, and a black charcoal chisel, but none of them worked.It seems that it is quite difficult to complete the modification of the Supreme Wizard's robe before the end of this semester.
This is of course reasonable, otherwise, how could no alchemist have invented an equivalent product in the past 1000 years.The alchemy level of the three Peverell brothers is not in vain.However, Xie Lin has samples to study, which has advantages that other alchemists do not have.
In any case, Schelling is quite satisfied with his achievements this semester.
Under the effect of the magic-enhancing potion, his magic power has already caught up with the senior students, and after he has fully charged his spiritual magic skills, his strength has increased a lot.The success of the Patronus Charm Exchange Conference and the best-selling "I and the Basilisk at Hogwarts" have brought his reputation to the top.
Almost no one in Hogwarts didn't know his name—although it attracted the prying eyes of pure-blooded diehards and the Ghost Society, but the wood is as good as the forest, and the wind will destroy it. From this perspective, the appearance of these enemies also shows that Schelling's achievements are not.Harry in the original book did not receive such treatment. It is estimated that they did not take the savior seriously at all. In their view, Hermione, who has the determination to reform, may be more threatening.
So the time came to the week before the Easter holiday.
On this day, after Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class was finished outdoors, a group of little snakes in Slytherin were laughing and joking on the grass on the way back to the castle because they had no class next.
Among the Gryffindor students, Harry's trio stayed behind and talked to Hagrid - since Black's second invasion, the safety measures for the students have been strictly restricted, and Harry and the others can no longer sneak out of the castle, so they can only talk to Hagrid at this time.
Although Buckbeak didn't have to be executed because he was abducted by Schelling, Hagrid still felt very sorry for causing trouble to Dumbledore because of his mistakes.
The "Daily Prophet" began to question Dumbledore's voice, and published many articles about Dumbledore deliberately covering Hagrid and trying to cover up his unknown employment. Then, even in the past two years, the little wizards did not learn anything useful in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class...
Even Dumbledore had to suffer from it.What he was most worried about at the moment was that if the parents of the students knew that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester was actually a werewolf, that would definitely be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Indeed, after Lucius was expelled from the school board, the school board was already under Dumbledore's firm control, but under the huge pressure of public opinion, everything may change.
And Fudge couldn't give him much support. Fudge himself has also been under a lot of pressure from public opinion recently. The incident of Black breaking into Hogwarts twice has been revealed. All the parents of the students knew about it from anonymous letters. Even the "Daily Prophet", which is controlled by the Ministry of Magic, had to report it truthfully.
Thinking that the safety of their children might be threatened, the masses became dissatisfied with the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic; at the same time, the merchants and residents of Hogsmeade village were even more furious. The existence of dementors has seriously affected the business and life in the village, and it did not play its due role at all!
The biggest difference between Dumbledore and the Dark Lord is that he will not use force to convince people, but chooses to play games within political rules.
This time, Hagrid did not let Buckbeak go, but the other party cleverly connected the matter of hiring Hagrid with the matter of hiring the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, creating an image of himself as an unknown person, and even his decision to hire Hagrid became nepotism.It seems that behind Mrs. Sabini, there is another master who is good at manipulating public opinion...
To be fair, Schelling was actually very disapproving of Dumbledore's behavior.
Hagrid is indeed capable of being a professor of magical creatures, but this does not mean that he is the best candidate for the professor of this course. Schelling is not opposed to giving Hagrid a chance, but the premise is that this opportunity must be obtained by Hagrid fairly, that is, stand out from the crowd of applicants, instead of being manipulated by Dumbledore in a black box.
As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, it was even worse. Whether he hired Quirrell in the first year or Lockhart in the second year, it was inseparable from his Harry development plan.
This is actually a kind of irresponsibility to other students!Hogwarts is the only wizarding school in the whole of England, not Dumbledore's family business!
What?You said it was because there were not enough people for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?So what about Lupine and Mad-Eye Moody, what did they do in the early years?
Back to Hagrid.During this period of time, both Hagrid and Dumbledore have been under a lot of pressure from public opinion. The sensitive Hagrid couldn't help crying while talking.Then he turned, put his face in his handkerchief, and walked quickly towards his cabin.
He preferred to die rather than die. Draco couldn't change his bad habit of talking. He taunted Hagrid in front of everyone, "Look at him crying! Have you ever seen such a poor thing? He is still our teacher!"
Both Harry and Ron rushed at Draco angrily, but Hermione was faster than both of them - pop!She slapped Draco as hard as she could. "How dare you call Hagrid a wretch, you nasty - wicked -"
Draco's face was hot, and the pain on his face and the shame in his heart instantly reminded him of some unbearable memories.
This was the second time he was humiliated at Hogwarts. The first time, he was beaten up by Ron because of his size. Fortunately, few people saw his embarrassment at that time; and now, he was slapped in the face by a Muggle wizard in public!
Anger suddenly filled Draco's heart, and he shouted angrily, "You mudblood, how dare you hit me!"
He pulled out his wand quickly and hit Hermione with a "fire hot" spell, but his spell missed Hermione because Harry cast a disarming spell faster than he did and Draco missed Harry's spell.
(Note: The author followed the translation of "Fire Roasting Hot Lala" by People's News Agency to avoid confusing readers. In fact, the Furnunculus spell is a furunculus curse. The effect is to make the subject’s face covered with pus-filled boils. Apart from disfigurement, it is also very painful. It is a very vicious spell, especially for girls.)
It was all messed up now, and Goyle and Crabbe also pulled out their wands and shot spells at Harry at the same time. Ron and Hermione joined the battle seeing that Harry was outnumbered, and the other little snakes on the grass who were a little further away, led by Pansy and Blaise, also rushed over...
Extra-curricular knowledge: Furuncle, also known as fire boil, is a red, swollen and painful abscess on the skin caused by Staphylococcus aureus infecting hair follicles. The size of the abscess is much larger than that of acne (or acne), and the maximum diameter can be 2 inches.Antibiotics are used in the Muggle world, usually within 48 hours, but if the treatment is delayed, it can lead to blood infection.As for how to treat the wizarding world?Please refer to Chapter 9 of the first volume of this book. I just modified the refining process according to Pottermore's official formula yesterday.
