Chapter 159 New Ideas for Explosive Factors (6K, please read later)
This is Lin Xia's first time to visit the Centaur tribe.
Their living habits are completely different from those of humans, but Centaur are also a kind of human.
Their houses are built with branches and mud, and the interior is decorated with various colorful fabrics, full of exotic style.
Walking into the tribe, there are many young Centaur laughing and playing inside, and they all look at Lin Xia curiously.
As for Hagrid, it is not the first time they have dealt with Hagrid.
Bain and Firenze obviously did not have the mood to lead Lin Xia to stroll around, and directly led her to the most central room, which is the residence of the Centaur priest.
When the tent was lifted, a Centaur with pure white hair came into view.
She looked a little old, but very beautiful. Lin Xia felt the breath of unicorn from her.
The priest saw her and nodded slightly: "You are here."
"I feel the gift of the unicorn from you. You have saved the life of the unicorn. You are a friend of the centaur tribe and a welcome person in the forbidden forest.
I will not ask why you come and where you go. Even if you have a letter of recommendation, the centaurs also have things to stick to."
"Lin Xia."
Her voice became ethereal, as if echoing from the deep air, falling into her ears layer by layer.
"Believe in the choice of fate, your choice represents fate."
After the priest said this, he closed his eyes slightly.
"Mars is too bright tonight. From today on, the centaurs will block the tribe."
Bane and Firenze, who brought her in, changed their expressions slightly and immediately asked Lin Xia to go out. Hagrid had just sat down to chat and play with the pony and was also driven out.
Hagrid was confused and looked at Lin Xia: "You haven't been in for a minute. Has she already calculated for you? Is the efficiency of centaurs' divination so high?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "The priest didn't calculate for me. She saw me and said a few words, and then quickly let me leave."
In front of the two of them, the centaurs were completely blocked. It seemed that they would not come out for a long time.
Hagrid and Lin Xia had to return.
He asked about Lin Xia's divination content. Lin Xia didn't tell the whole story. She only said: "She said that Mars is too bright tonight. From today on, the centaurs will block the tribe."
Hagrid was speechless: "They always like to say this sentence over and over again, Mars, damn Mars!
You came here to ask them about the magical creatures without attributes. Did you get a satisfactory result? Do you want to seek other help?"
Hagrid thought of Sybil Trelawney, the divination professor in Hogwarts who always liked to drink and got herself drunk.
He was about to mention this person, but the words stopped at his lips.
No matter how I put it, I always feel that he is unreliable. This person is like a charlatan.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after coming out of the Forbidden Forest.
The Forbidden Forest at night is still too dangerous, and every step must be cautious.
Lin Xia returned to the cabin and first thanked Hagrid for his kindness.
"No need, I have already made some preparations and will not seek other divinations."
She asked Hagrid to take out the atlas, and after getting his consent, she copied a copy with the "Copying Spell".
Hagrid joked: "I just can't write a book, and my writing is not good. Otherwise, I hope all the little wizards can see this atlas. I dream that it can be published!"
Lin Xia also smiled: "Believe me, Hagrid, there will always be such a day."
Hagrid was worried about the safety of the little wizards, and he must personally send Lin Xia back to Hogwarts.
There are also access control points on weekends, but they are not as strict as when they are in school.
Lin Xia used the Invisibility Spell to hide her figure, walked to the second floor, and saw several Slytherin students wandering quietly in the corridor.
Filch happened to be turning at the corner and was about to ignore the two students.
Lin Xia raised her eyebrows and used her wand to silently cast a spell on their clothes - Transfiguration: the clothes twisted and turned into snakes.
"Ahhhhh!"
Suddenly, there were screams of fear from the corridor on the second floor.
Filch ran over quickly with an oil lamp, while Lin Xia knocked on the barrel on the other side calmly and easily and entered the common room.
Late at night, after practicing daily exercises.
Lin Xia felt something strange in her body and once again felt the barrier that was about to break through the foundation.
Although she touched the barrier, she had a hunch that it would take some time for her to break it.
In addition to continuing to practice to enhance her foundation, she also needed an opportunity to break the barrier.
Inexplicably, Lin Xia thought of the restricted area on the fourth floor.
Voldemort has been lurking in Quirrell's head for nearly a year, and there have been unicorn deaths in the Forbidden Forest recently, and there are panic everywhere.
As the exam week approaches, Voldemort might also make some moves.
And that time is also her chance.
The next day.
Lin Xia took the talisman to the grocery store in Hogwarts, which is a delivery point of the Alchemist Association.
But the person sitting in the grocery store here is not a person, but a portrait.
It is said that this portrait is from Ravenclaw, who once served as a prefect and student president.
In short, this is a very outstanding talent.
Although he didn't know how to become a portrait, students can deal with him smoothly.
Some young wizards believe that someone is hiding behind the portrait, instructing the portrait to buy and sell things, and even chatting with them through the portrait.
Since the grocery store opened in Hogwarts, Lin Xia has never been there once, and her talisman was given to her by Draco.
This time when she went to the grocery store to hand over the talisman, Lin Xia also noticed that the portrait was smarter than ordinary people.
She seemed to be facing not a portrait, but a living person, and she was talking to a living person.
In the portrait, a handsome man with short golden hair smiled meaningfully at Lin Xia.
"What did I see? I saw an elegant and charming little witch. She not only published two papers and made two magic items, but was also a young alchemist.
Her intelligence is puzzling. I really want to open her head to see what is inside that makes her different from ordinary wizards like us."
The portrait complimented Lin Xia elegantly in an exclamatory tone.
Although those words sounded like telling a horror story.
Lin Xia stared at the portrait deeply, but felt embarrassed by the portrait and looked away.
"Little witch, please put the talisman here."
The portrait pointed to a place on the right hand side, and a small grid opened in response.
Lin Xia looked and saw that there were already talismans in the grid, and there were quite a lot of them.
Were they purchased from somewhere else, or were they provided by someone inside Hogwarts?
"Put it down and you can leave. We will automatically detect the quality of your talisman and enter the corresponding alchemy knowledge points into your account."
Lin Xia put the talisman in as she was told. Just as she was about to leave, the portrait suddenly spoke.
"Little wizard, a lot of things will happen recently. You might as well carry more talismans with you."
Lin Xia turned around and asked, "Are talismans really useful?"
The portrait smiled handsomely, revealing its big white teeth: "At least it's a bit useful in resisting alien invasions, so that you don't suffer from mental disturbances."
Lin Xia's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
There was no class this morning, so she went to the laboratory after handing in the talisman.
This time, she brought her diary with her.
With the forbidden magic words, Lin Xia was not worried that Tom would continue to play tricks.
Draco practiced the "Purple Gold Mysterious Records" and was naturally resistant to vague whispers.
As for Hermione, she seemed to have other adventures, and some small whispers could not affect a determined person like her.
When they arrived at the laboratory, Draco and Hermione were already doing experimental research.
Lin Xia was not idle either, and immediately opened her diary.
The automatic feather pen was dipped in sufficient ink and immediately wrote in the diary.
Lin Xia revealed some data about the natural wand and asked Tom to help her analyze it.
Tom: [Lin Xia, my dear friend, I thought we would chat, not face a pile of data. ]
Lin Xia: [Tom, I should have told you that I have a fanatical interest in alchemy and research. This is my daily life, so boring and tasteless. If you don’t want to face a pile of data, then I can only regretfully shut you up. ]
Tom: [No, wait, compared to being imprisoned by the forbidden magic runes, I find that researching data is not bad. Let me see, what are you researching, a brand new wand?
Oh, you are so kind. It is enough for the wizarding world to have exclusive custom-made wands. Why do you want to study other wands? To be honest, I don’t quite understand your interests and hobbies. ]
Lin Xia: [It seems that we can only part ways with regret. ]
Tom: [Are you going to throw me away? ]
Lin Xia: [Of course not, Tom, I will lock you in a place where no one can find you. After a few decades, maybe someone lucky enough will meet you again.
You can continue to tell him your previous story, or maybe you can tell him my story. I don’t mind. ]
Tom was silent for a while, and a line of words slowly appeared in the diary.
[Lin Xia, I found that I also like to do research. ]
With the help of Tom, the progress of [Natural Magic Wand] was slowly pushed forward. Lin Xia got some free time and threw the data analysis to Tom, while thinking about the magic of [Bubble Bomb].
She has found the unstable magic power, but it is quite difficult to compress the unstable magic power in an unstable container.
But if the container was stable, it wouldn't be called [Bubble Bomb].
How to fill the bubble with unstable magic is the direction she will tackle next.
Lin Xia believes that there is a substance that both unstable objects have, and she temporarily calls it "explosion factor".
As long as the "explosion factor" of the two is found, they can be combined to form a whole that looks stable but is actually very unstable.
Combining two things into one is better than forcibly connecting two things together.
When she reaches this step, [Bubble Bomb] will basically be completed by more than half.
