Chapter 815
"It's not good!" A little wizard rushed in from the door and shouted at everyone, "Another person has been attacked, and it's in the corridor next to the central courtyard!"
"Is someone else injured?" Hermione asked quickly.
"Hmm!" The little wizard was drenched in sweat, "Another student has been petrified, everyone hurry to help!"
"That's just right!" Anduin pushed Lockhart forward when he heard the words, "The accident that happened just now, the monster in the secret room may not have left yet, just let Professor Lockhart go and deal with it!"
"Good idea!" Ron on the side also booed, "Professor Lockhart, I'll leave that monster to you, but it's just a magical animal with a dangerous level of XXXXX. I think you can get rid of it with your help." This hidden danger."
"Huh? A XXXXX-level monster?"
Lockhart was frightened by Ron, and instinctively wanted to shrink back, but Anduin kept urging him, and the little wizards around him also stared at him with burning eyes.
For a moment, Lockhart couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or anticipation, but he, who likes to show off and save face, really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
But if you really let him face that dangerous monster, isn't that equivalent to forcing him to die?
"Uh... no problem."
Lockhart still couldn't get rid of his blunt mouth, but he quickly pointed at him with an inspiration.
"But please allow me to change my clothes first. You see, my clothes were soaked in water just now, which is not conducive to my powerful spell."
"So please go to the scene first, I'll come back after I prepare."
After saying that, Lockhart turned around and wanted to run away, but he soon found that Anduin had tightly strangled his shoulders.
"It's just wet clothes, there's no need to bother." Anduin grinned, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and Lockhart's clothes became dry again.
"Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting, now Hogwarts is counting on you, the legendary adventurer, to save it. After killing that monster, wouldn't you be able to add something to your own book?"
After all, Anduin ignored Lockhart's reaction, and directly escorted him out, and the rest of the little wizards quickly followed after seeing this.
After a while, everyone came to the scene of the crime, and saw a low-level wizard from Ravenclaw College, lying on the ground stiffly, beside him were several students from different colleges, apparently they discovered The little wizard who was attacked.
"Another petrified victim." Having arrived at the scene, Hermione stepped forward to check.
"Professor Lockhart, it's up to you!" Anduin ignored the victims and the crowd beside him, and just pushed Lockhart forward.
"This... this..." Lockhart was held up at the scene by Anduin and others, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
What are you going to do next?Tracking monsters?How could I do such a thing?Let's try to fool around...
After hesitating for a moment, Lockhart casually pointed in a direction, "After my induction, that monster is running that way!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words, not knowing whether it was true or not for a while.
Lockhart secretly rejoiced when he saw this, but I was thinking fast, and I will take them there for a while later, and then find an excuse to say that the monster has already escaped. It's really me.
As for Anduin, he stared at the direction Lockhart was pointing for a moment, and he could see that the other party was fooling around.
But the point is, there really is a basilisk in the direction Lockhart is pointing at!
In fact, when he first arrived, he found that the basilisk hadn't gone far. He didn't expect that Lockhart was so lucky.
No, it should be said that the other party's luck is really bad. Since you are looking for death, then I won't stop it.
"So that's it!" Anduin put on an expression of sudden understanding, and then looked at Lockhart sincerely, "Then next, I will trouble you, Professor Lockhart, to help everyone get rid of this scourge!"
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!" Lockhart seemed to have regained his confidence, patted his chest and walked in that direction carelessly.
The direction he was pointing at was a dark corridor leading to the school's greenhouse. At the end of the corridor was a low bell tower, and in the courtyard leading to the gate next to it, there were several greenhouses.
Lockhart tiptoed into the depths of the corridor, while the rest of the people, including Anduin, kept a distance of thirty meters from him and followed far behind.
Although he pointed in this direction casually, Lockhart couldn't help but feel a little nervous when so many people were staring at him.
Coupled with the cold and dark surroundings, he couldn't help shivering as he explored forward.
"It's okay, there must be nothing here, I'll pretend to poke my head towards the greenhouse later, and then say that I didn't find anything..." Lockhart seemed to realize that his state was a little tense, and quickly A few words of self-comfort.
But just when he put his attention back in front of him, a series of 'swishling' sounds suddenly came from his ears, as if something was rubbing against the ground.
Lockhart was so frightened by the sound that his hairs stood on end, and he looked around nervously, but there was nothing unusual at this time.
"Probably because I was too nervous and had hallucinations." Lockhart swallowed, but still involuntarily quickened his pace.
When he came to the porch door leading to the greenhouse, Lockhart quickly poked his head out. He had already figured it out, no matter what was outside, he said everything was normal, so he should be able to fool him. .
But when he probed, he saw a rather thick tail protruding from the courtyard all over the greenhouse, and the other end was hidden behind a greenhouse wall.
Seeing this scene, Lockhart felt the hairs all over his body stood on end, a chill went from the soles of his feet to the sky, and his mind went blank.
"what!!!!!"
When he came back to his senses, Lockhart immediately screamed out of fear, and the owner of the tail seemed to be startled by the scream, and suddenly slipped and was about to turn around.
"Help!! There are... there are... there are monsters!"
Lockhart, who realized this scene, didn't dare to put on a show, turned around and ran towards the people in the corridor crying.
When he came in front of everyone, his hands and feet were already weak because of fear, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even stand still, and he collapsed directly in front of the crowd.
Seeing Lockhart's unbearable behavior, all the hundred students present frowned. Just this amount of guts deserves to be a professor at Hogwarts?
At the same time, Hermione approached the other party and asked eagerly, "Did you see that monster? What does it look like? What kind of magical animal is it? How big is it?"
Facing Hermione's repeated questions, Lockhart couldn't even speak a word, "No... I don't know! Anyway... it's so scary, don't... don't embarrass me, let me go!"
"Lockhart!" Anduin ignored the other party's yelling, and picked it up, "This is not okay, as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, it is your duty to deal with dark magic creatures, and you are in the world. Didn't you also come into contact with many dangerous creatures when you traveled around? Why are you scared again now?"
Faced with Anduin's persecution, Lockhart, who was half-frightened to death, couldn't care less, and blew himself up on the spot, "That's all a lie! I heard those heroic deeds from others, and then I have never seen any dark creatures before I put it on myself!"
Whoa!
Hearing Lockhart's words, the little wizards at the scene immediately exploded, even forgetting the threat of monsters. They thought that Lockhart was just not worthy of the name. Who would have thought that the other party was actually a complete liar.
"What? Your experience is all a lie?"
"Merlin's beard, in vain I once regarded you as an idol, so you are actually a liar!"
"How is it possible? You plagiarized someone else's experience, why didn't anyone stand up and question it?"
"me……"
Lockhart realized that he had told the whole truth out of his impatience, and judging from Anduin's intentions, it seemed that he had no intention of letting him go.
But what he is most afraid of now is the monster hiding in the greenhouse courtyard, so Lockhart simply said, "It's me! The only thing I'm good at is using the Oblivion Curse to make those who really did these things forget their achievements."
"I've told you everything, please don't let me face that monster!" After Lockhart finished speaking, he seemed to collapse and went limp. It turned out that he had completely lost consciousness. .
And after hearing Lockhart's confession, everyone had an angry expression, and many people even clamored to give him a Forgetting Curse, so that he would have a taste of forgetting everything.
The group of witches headed by Hermione looked at Lockhart with disgust, as if the fact that they had worshiped him was a shame in itself.
"quiet!"
Anduin calculated that Hogg should have dealt with the basilisk, so he shouted loudly, "I, Principal Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will take care of Lockhart's matter properly. It's none of your business, everyone. Have you forgotten why we are here?"
After being reminded by Anduin, everyone came to their senses, yes, they came to search for the monster in the secret room.
And the reason why everyone is so relaxed at this time is mainly because of Anduin's existence. Because of him, everyone even forgot that the danger still exists.
"Hermione! Harry! Ron! Neville!" Anduin called out the names of several people, and at the same time pouted his chin towards the distant corridor door, "Go and investigate."
"Yes!" The four little wizards responded in unison, and then they drew out their wands and touched them in a row.
When they arrived at the door, the four of them tacitly divided into two teams and leaned against the two sides of the stone door. Among them, Harry poked his head out carefully to observe with the naked eye, while the other three were fully alert.
However, after roughly scanning around, Harry shook his head at the other three, obviously not finding the monster Lockhart encountered.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them carefully checked the entire greenhouse courtyard, and found no so-called monster except for a few traces on the ground.
"Report to the professor!" The four returned to report, "There is no trace of the monster, it should have left."
"Oh? Are you sure it's leaving instead of non-existence? Is it possible that Lockhart is talking nonsense?" Anduin asked pretendingly. Of course he knew that the basilisk had left, and he also knew that [-]% of them were still there. Hogg is helping.
"You can see a large area of crush marks on the ground of the courtyard, it should be left by a monster! This monster is indeed real!" Hermione turned her head to think for a few seconds, and then said with certainty.
And after Hermione said these words, the hundreds of wizards around Anduin swallowed nervously.
Although there were victims before, they actually still had a little bit of luck in their hearts, thinking that this might be some wizard playing a prank.
But now, first the victim appeared, then Lockhart's self-explosion in a panic, coupled with Hermione's report, it was obvious that the facts were already in front of them, and they couldn't help but pay attention to them.
"Very good!" Anduin nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head to look at the crowd, "Now, I issue an official order."
"In view of the adverse effects of the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets on Hogwarts, on behalf of the school, I will issue a reward to all students in the whole school. All students who find the trace of the monster and lock its location will get 50 reward points for their house. If it is captured, 100 points will be added, and if the location and secret of the secret room are discovered, 100 points will be added!"
"A reward?"
"Fifty points for finding traces? This is too good to earn!"
"Wow, if all the rewards can be completed, wouldn't it be able to add 250 points to the academy? Wouldn't this year's Academy Cup be stable?"
As soon as Anduin's words fell, it immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
And the Gryffindor members who just lost their points were even more impressed, and Hermione was the most excited among them.
You must know that this is a full 250 points. Since Anduin joined, the points difference between the four colleges in Hogwarts has shrunk very little, but due to the urgency of the Lion House, it is still the last place this year.
Adding in the 100 points that were deducted just now, it would be worse for them, and now they have a chance to pull back the points, and even use this to overtake, if this does not make everyone excited.
For a moment, everyone forgot that what everyone was thinking about was actually the monster in the secret room that made them panic before.
They even started gearing up one by one, preparing to kill the so-called monsters under their horses.
And Snape, who was watching from a distance, was even more stunned. He didn't expect Anduin's routine to be so deep, directly turning the basilisk that everyone feared into the sweet pastry in the eyes of the students.
"Then it depends on everyone's performance!" Anduin picked up the fainted Lockhart under his feet, "I have to deal with this guy first, and in the future, everyone may be needed as witnesses to prove that Lockhart confessed to us own crime."
