Chapter 99 The Silver Spear Test
boom!
The wooden door was closed behind them, and the four of them stood at the entrance of a narrow and long passage, surrounded by gray stone walls. In the darkness, the torches on the stone walls crackled and burst into sparks, making the passage gloomy.
The passage was very quiet, but filled with a strange atmosphere.
Daphne, the most courageous, went first; Meredith followed, and Astoria fell behind them both.Xie Lin is the most powerful, he is at the end, in charge of the rear, he can also take care of everyone.
As he walked, he could feel the air getting more and more humid, and then a thick fog appeared in his sight.
Daphne whispered: "Luminescence flashes!" A milky white halo was released from the end of the wand. The brightness of the fluorescence was as bright as moonlight but not dazzling. It was much brighter than ordinary fluorescent spells. Even so, the visibility still could not break through three feet away.
When Meredith was about to cast the flame spell, she was stopped by Schelling, "May, it is very unwise to cast flames rashly when facing an unknown situation. Think about it, what if there is a pile of gunpowder in front of you?" What? Why don’t we all be blown up?”
Daphne had a flash of inspiration, and exclaimed: "Use the wind! The wind can disperse the fog!" Then she showed a distressed expression, "But I haven't learned the Whirlwind Curse yet... and if I want to disperse the entire fog, I probably don't have enough magic power..."
Xie Lin shook his head, "I can do the Whirlwind Curse, but there is actually an easier way to deal with this situation—flocks of birds!" There was a light click at the end of Xie Lin's wand, and a small sparrow appeared, chirping and flapping its wings happily.
"Get bigger quickly!" The little sparrow suddenly became bigger than a golden eagle, with its wings spread 10 feet, it flew into the mist, and the flapping wings stirred up a stream of air, although it only dispersed a small area. fog, but also revealed the way ahead.
The three girls were so shocked that they couldn't speak, how could the Asuka Illusion Charm work like this?
Daphne was about to step forward, but she was stopped by Xie Lin, "Don't worry, the fog has cleared, but how do you know there is nothing else in the fog?"
This time, the three girls showed puzzled expressions. What did Xie Lin mean by this sentence?The road ahead is revealed, and there is nothing in sight?
Meredith was the quickest to react. She pointed her wand in front of her and said aloud: "The original form is revealed! (Revelio)"
Then came Astoria's exclamation, "What is this?"
In front of them stood a tall, silver-haired animal, resembling a thin bear, standing on two feet and stretching out its abnormally long arms towards them.
Meredith said in an uncertain tone, "Is this a Hidebehind?"
Schelling nodded, "That's right, the Hidden Monster is the product of the crossbreeding of a Demiguise and a Ghoul. Not only can it be as invisible as a Demiguise, but it can also distort its own body shape. It is very good at hiding and attacking. This guy likes to hunt humanoid creatures, including us wizards. Everyone, be careful."
Xie Lin was a little surprised. This is only a medium difficulty, but a four-star hidden monster appeared, and a fog was created for it to hide its figure. If he hadn't followed in, something might have happened just now.All I can say is, is it really worthy of the Silver Spear?
The Hidden Monster is very flexible. It dodges the spells released by Daphne and Meredith one by one. When it really can't dodge, it can twist its body, similar to the common bone shrinking yoga of Indian Muggles, and dexterously avoids the attack.
Daphne cast a sticky spell, coating the terrain around the Recluse with a sticky paste.The Hidden Monster accidentally stepped on the paste, and his figure stopped. Meredith seized the opportunity and performed a transformation technique on the paste that stuck to it. Four arms suddenly stretched out from the paste, grabbing the Hidden Monster's limbs tightly.
"Now!" Meredith and Daphne shouted in unison.
Astoria raised the magic wand in his hand and shouted loudly: "Stunning!" A ray of light shot out from the wand, hitting the head of the hidden monster accurately, knocking it out.
"Good job!" Schelling praised sincerely. The two girls cooperated tacitly and created a perfect attacking opportunity for Astoria. Astoria's spellcasting technique was excellent both in terms of accuracy and speed.
Going forward, they came to a circular room with two exits in front, and a statue of a dragon in the center of the room.
In the wizarding world, Dragon (Dragon) is just a general term. Under this general term, there are actually various sub-dragon branches. Schelling in the previous life knew two kinds-the bipedal pterosaur (Wyvern) killed by the lunatic Cadogan knight in Gryffindor, and the little fire dragon (Firedrake) that appeared in the Fantastic Beasts movie.
What appeared in this room was the Amphiptere, a dragon creature that Schelling in this life learned from ancient books.
The appearance of the feathered snake and the bird snake (Occamy) is very similar, and it is one of the most beautiful creatures in the magical world: it has a blue snake-like body and a pair of rainbow-colored wings.
The body of this Feathered Serpent statue is almost 15 feet long by visual inspection.Its eyes were inlaid with two bright red rubies, and at this moment it seemed to be shining brightly when looking at a few people.
"What now?" Daphne frowned, "Are we going to pass it? Will it come alive?"
"Probably not," Schelling was not too sure. To be honest, if he had to pass a feathered snake on medium difficulty, then he couldn't imagine a hell-level difficulty level. "I think it is very likely that we need to find the statue of the feathered snake." Only the secrets in the body can continue to move forward, otherwise it will attract its attack."
"That makes sense, it's just a test of moderate difficulty, there's no reason why it should be so difficult. Let me try—" Meredith raised her wand, "Aparecium!"
"Revealing quickly" and "revealing the original form" are not the same mantra.Reality is used to find invisible or disguised objects, and haste is used to reveal hidden writing.Other similar spells are "Manifestation", which finds invisible people, and "Trace Appearance", which finds traces of magic that have just disappeared.
Sure enough, there was an orange-yellow halo on the Feathered Serpent statue, and an ancient runic talisman slowly emerged on its wings——Scheering recognized that it was Eihwaz, which means yew tree, and in the wizarding world, it represented "defense" and "guardian".Of course, there is no heaven and hell in this magical world, so heaven and hell generally represent two meanings of luck and disaster.
After Schelling explained Eihwaz's meaning, Astoria tilted his head and said, "Could it be that we need to use the guidance of this ancient magic talisman to find the correct exit, one of these two exits will be dangerous, and the other will lead to the next level safely?"
Is it possible to use Guruni magic talisman to cast spells?
Schelling had also studied how to use ancient runes to cast spells—he had a lot of ideas in his mind after seeing it with his own eyes in the secret passage on the fifth floor of Hogwarts.In Ravenclaw's heritage, there are also some records about this.
However, the ancient runic language is extensive and profound, and in the Muggle world alone there are Germanic, Nordic, Celtic and other systems.In the world of wizards, as far as Xie Lin knew, there were at least twenty different systems, and the error correction between each system was complicated. So until now, his research on using ancient runic characters to cast spells has not made much progress.
Xie Lin didn't want to give up this test just because of this, and he had no choice but to try once the situation came to an end.
He took out the crown of wisdom from his arms and put it on, fully arousing the eyes of magic power. For a moment, the crown of wisdom and the robe of the supreme wizard bloomed faintly with colorful light.
Schelling used his magic wand to draw the complete Eihwaz talisman stroke by stroke in mid-air. Suddenly, the Thestral wand felt a warmth from the grip. At this moment, the wand vibrated autonomously as if it had life. Schelling's pupils suddenly became like a pool of blue water with bursts of waves on it.
The Feathered Serpent statue seemed to come alive, twisted its body stiffly, and let out a long cry, both like a phoenix and a sea snake.
The Guruni magic talisman that emerged from it suddenly turned into a burst of fire, shooting into the one on the left of the two exits.
"Let's go!" Without waiting for Xie Lin to say anything else, they rushed towards the exit on the left as fast as possible!
Daphne entered first, then Meredith, then Astoria, and finally Schelling.Just when Xie Lin stepped into the exit, the Feathered Serpent Statue had been fully revived. It pecked at Xie Lin fiercely, but hit a transparent barrier at the junction of the exit. Under the impact, the barrier burst into dazzling blue light, emitting circles of circles of light ripples centered on the point of impact.
Knowing that the Feathered Serpent Statue could not enter the exit, several people began to take a breath in fear.
"Xie Lin, did you successfully cast a spell with the ancient runic language just now?" Meredith couldn't help but ask. The ancient runic magic has been lost for centuries. If it really reappeared on Xie Lin, everyone present knew what it meant.
Xie Lin shrugged his shoulders and said irrefutably: "Probably so! But at most it's just a rudimentary form of spellcasting, and more perfection is needed..."
"It's amazing!" Daphne exclaimed, "Even so, it's a terrifying achievement. It is said that ancient warlocks could cast spells with ancient runes, ancient Egyptian warlocks could part the Red Sea, and ancient Babylonian warlocks built sky cities floating in the air..."
Xie Lin shook his head, "To be honest, there may not be many people who know the ancient runic characters, but there must be no fewer. But why is the ancient runic magic still lost?"
Meredith hesitated and said: "Could it be that a certain condition needs to be met first..." She thought of the different clothes that Xie Lin's pupils showed earlier, "For example, the special ability hidden in the blood was activated, like the snake whisperer, the prophet, and the disguise magus..."
"Yes," said Schelling earnestly, "although I'm not sure, but I think so too."
Several people fell into silence, each with different thoughts, thinking about various possibilities.
Losing interest in talking, the few people continued to move forward quietly.This time they encountered a huge number of ghouls, at least thirty at a glance.
Newt Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is just an enlightenment textbook suitable for young wizards in the third grade. The content in it is still at the level of enlightenment, and many unpopular creatures are not included in it.The creatures included in it only have records about common examples, and cannot cover all types of the species.For example, although the sea snake is recorded in the book, there is no record of the sea snake's heterogeneous Selma (Selma).
Although this book has records about ghouls and lists it as a two-star dangerous animal, it does not mean that you can take it lightly when you see a ghoul.In "Swimming with Ghouls" written by Lockhart, there is an extremely dangerous and highly aggressive variant of ghouls-Chameleon Ghoul.
Unlike the degenerating ghouls, the color-changing ghouls have reverted to the nature of their Orge ancestors, possessing a thirst for living flesh, and also the cunning nature of the ogres, which can transform and disguise themselves as everyday objects to avoid detection.Then suddenly attack when someone approaches.
Although there were a large number of color-changing ghouls in front of him, they showed their real bodies at this moment, so Xie Lin had nothing to worry about, so he let the three girls deal with them.
"The flames are blazing!" After three semesters of hard practice, Daphne's magic power and spellcasting skills are stronger than those of the students in the same class. She released a large orange-red flame, like a wall of fire standing in front of them, exuding amazing heat.
Meredith cast Transfiguration, and more than 30 flame arms stretched out from the middle of the wall of fire, rushed towards the ghouls, and grabbed them.
Astoria took out several bottles of blue flame potion, and threw them one by one at the corners and gaps where the flames hadn't reached, leaving the ghouls with nowhere to escape.If any ghouls intend to forcibly rush through the flames, Astoria will use the impediment spell to delay their actions. As long as they can be dragged for a while, the ghouls will be swallowed by the flames to nothing.
In just a short while, more than 30 color-changing ghouls were wiped out.
This time, Xie Lin was very satisfied with their performance. The three of them did not fight alone and blindly cast spells on the enemy. Instead, they cooperated seamlessly to first compress the opponent's movement space with flames, and then one was responsible for precise attacks, and the other was responsible for making up for dead spots and mistakes.The intelligence of color-changing ghouls is not low, but even with their resilience and speed, they cannot break through such tactical attacks.
Even though it was so easy for them to eliminate the ghouls, it was because the tactics were well arranged and there were no mistakes in execution.It would not be fun to be approached by a ghoul. The teeth, nails, and blood of a ghoul are all highly poisonous, and it is difficult to treat them once they are stained.Lockhart's "Swimming with Ghouls" has an example of extracting chronic venom from ghouls.
1) The color-changing ghoul comes from the second book of the original book. Hermione had read about the color-changing ghoul in the book, so she thought of this creature when she discussed with Harry and Ron why the creatures in the chamber of secrets had not been discovered for a long time.Lockhart's series of books are all about the adventures of some dangerous creatures. The ghoul in "Walking with Ghouls" obviously cannot be the same harmless insect-eating ghoul in the attic of Weasley's house, otherwise how can he appear powerful.In this book, the monster in Lockhart's book is set as a color-changing ghoul.
2) The Hidden Monster is one of the six animals added in the 2017 version of "Fantastic Beasts Where Are There", the other five are the bird-shaped man-eater, the cat leopard, the horned beast, the long-horned water snake, and the thunderbird
3) Selma is from the Daily Prophet. It is the mascot of the Norwegian team. It is a very ferocious sea snake species that likes to eat human flesh.
