Chapter 216: The unique life spring of the elves, Mikel's attack, and three photos of what will

After Hagrid's reminder, Lin Xia discovered the true way to understand the spring of life——

It must be placed under the sun, where it intersects with the mottled light and shadow of the trees, and then you can look up to realize the mystery of this golden stone.

It is different from the essence of life which is just crystal clear and sparkling glass beads.

On the surface, the spring of life is just an ordinary golden stone.

But when you hold it in your palm, the gold color of this stone is still darker, and it doesn't feel shiny at all. It doesn't make people notice anything special at all.

But when Lin Xia followed Hagrid's instructions and stood where the light and shadow of the sun intertwined with the trees, looked up, her pupils could not help but dilate slightly.

In this stone, there is a bright stream of light flowing slowly!

It's like there is a sparkling spring water that is constantly flowing around the edge of the stone. Its flow direction has no direction, sometimes scattering and sometimes converging.

Lin Xia took a closer look. Between the dappled light and shadow, she saw the spring water inside shimmering, and she couldn't help but be startled.

Where is the spring water here?

This is clearly a miniature Milky Way!

When she first got the stone, she didn't feel anything.

But now after such observation, she suddenly felt a surging vitality from the stone.

This power is far more fascinating and more powerful than the life essence that I have come into contact with before.

Lin Xia asked herself that she had come into contact with many rejuvenating potions, among which [Powerful Healing Potion] and [Life Essence] were both top-notch in efficacy.

But in comparison with [Spring of Life], it was completely reduced to scum in seconds!

Hagrid's specially soft exclamation came to his ears: "This is the 'fountain of life' unique to the elf world. It is very, very difficult to obtain. This kind of item is difficult to find even if it is placed in Hogwarts.

Legend has it that elves have a mother river, and that mother river gave birth to countless elves and is the origin of everything.

That mother river is extremely powerful, and some of its tributaries have powerful magical powers, among which the 'Spring of Life' is the most famous. "

Lin Xia couldn't help but ask: "Hagrid, if the mysterious man obtained the spring of life last school year, would there be a possibility of resurrection?"

Hagrid thought for a moment and shook his head solemnly: "Lin Xia, you have to make it clear that the effects of the spring of life are different from the magic stone.

The wizarding world can still get some spring water of life, and the elves are willing to exchange it, but there is only one magic stone in the wizarding world, and the two cannot be compared. "

Lin Xia carefully put away the golden stone in her palm, and Hagrid reminded:

"This is a good thing that can save lives at critical moments. It is far more powerful than [Life Essence] and [Powerful Healing Potion]. You must use it well."

Lin Xia nodded: "Okay, Hagrid."

Just as she was about to leave the hunting ground, she suddenly thought of something and turned around and said: "By the way, Hagrid, I want to reserve a batch of things with you..."

…

While Lin Xia ran to the hunting ground, other little wizards did not give up the opportunity to improve themselves on the weekend.

"Professor Lockhart, please teach me the Oblivion Charm!"

Mikel stopped Lockhart and said very loudly in the corridor: "Please teach me the Forgetting Charm!"

Lockhart was startled by the sudden appearance of Mikel, and when he heard the words "Forgetting Curse", he looked a little nervous.

He glanced around subconsciously and saw many wizards looking around. Lockhart immediately raised a smile and pulled Mikel to go somewhere else quickly.

Hurrying to an empty classroom, Lockhart asked in a low voice: "How did you know that I can forget the curse?"

Lockhart clearly remembered that he had never revealed this news to anyone!

Even in the novel, he didn't reveal it at all!

Mikel blinked and asked innocently: "Professor, you told me this yourself, have you forgotten?

You said when you took the first class that many advanced spells look difficult, but are actually very simple, such as the Oblivion Curse.

You learned such advanced magic spells in just a few moments. I see you took the Forgetting Curse as an example, so you must also know this type of spell. "

After finishing speaking, Mikel asked again: "Do you think my analysis is correct, professor?"

Professor Lockhart felt relieved and nodded: "Yes, your analysis makes sense. But there is a problem. I just used the Forgetting Curse as an example. I am not very familiar with the Forgetting Curse."

Mikel: "I believe that the great Professor Lockhart is very good at mastering these advanced spells. Even if you don't know how to do it, you can learn it now."

Lockhart was so complimented that he said, "Yes, with my talent for magic...wait a minute, but the Oblivion Curse is still a bit too forced, I -"

Mikel interrupted him and praised in an extremely exaggerated, aria-like tone:

"The great wizard Gilderoy Lockhart, with his unique and bold and radical style, braved the dark forest, wandered at night with werewolves, danced with vampires... He was omnipotent, and he was master of advanced spells. It is clear as day that a solution can always be found in times of crisis..."

Lockhart was so praised that he couldn't hold back his lips, but he still said on his face: "Okay, little wizard, I can feel your eagerness to learn advanced magic spells, but you are still too young. The curse is still on you..."

Mikel said decisively: "Professor Lockhart, if you are willing to teach me the Forgetting Charm and let me learn it successfully, I want to give you a pennant!"

Lockhart: "...It's too much for you, so, wait, what did you just say, the pennant, what is this?"

Mikel: "This is a medal to praise your greatness! It represents the students' highest respect for you. I can guarantee that no other professor has received such high praise from students, only you!"

Lockhart coughed heavily a few times, his eyes flickered constantly, and he turned his head to look elsewhere, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he turned his head again and said, "It's not impossible to forget the spell. Let's do this. Come to my office tonight.

Well... You don't need to come too early, you can come at eight o'clock, remember, eight o'clock!"

Mikel nodded immediately.

After Professor Lockhart left, Mikel looked up and looked forward.

In front of him, there was a system panel that no one else could see, but only he could see.

[Task Completed]

1. Become good friends with Neville (favorability 60)

2. Attack Quidditch: Become a Gryffindor player (completed)

3. Get close to Lockhart and gain experience in the Oblivion Spell (completed)

[Rewards: Choose two out of three]

1. Unparalleled Quidditch talent: You are the most handsome guy on the field!

2. A secret of the Sword of Gryffindor

3. Perfectly receive Lockhart's Oblivion Spell experience without being disturbed by pollutants

Mikel chose 2 and 3 without hesitation.

The next second, an invisible change appeared in his body, and he felt that his talent was constantly strengthening.

Mikel thought about it and decided to return to the dormitory and continue to build a good relationship with Neville.

For some reason, he and Neville have been wearing, eating, living and going out together these days, but after the favorability rose to 60, it just stopped growing.

On the other side, Lin Xia has returned to the laboratory at Hogwarts.

She opened her diary and needed to communicate with Tom about something.

Tom: [Long time no see, my friend. I noticed that you have been looking for me more frequently recently. Have you finished your work?]

Lin Xia: [If you mean the Chamber of Secrets, no. Hogwarts has been under strict surveillance recently. Maybe the basilisk sensed the danger and did not appear. It has been a peaceful month.]

Lin Xia paused while operating the automatic feather pen and wrote another beautiful cursive handwriting.

Lin Xia: [But I always feel that there is a shadow lurking in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. I am worried that the next time the basilisk appears, it will cause unpredictable consequences, so I ordered a batch of roosters from Hagrid.]

Tom: [Hagrid, I didn't expect that he is still in Hogwarts. He is so lucky. Even if he was expelled that year, he can still stay in Hogwarts!]

This mumbling only flashed by and was quickly erased by the diary.

Tom: [Use roosters to check and balance the basilisk? It's a good idea. The natural enemy of the basilisk is the rooster! But if you just rely on the rooster, it's not enough. Maybe I can provide you with some methods...]

Lin Xia looked at the diary, and soon a bunch of methods emerged densely, and she felt strange again.

Tom seemed to be very concerned about the secret room. He didn't seem to want the secret room to be made public and the basilisk to be released.

But this logic is wrong.

She saw it with her own eyes in the Fuqi that Tom was the student who released the basilisk and opened the secret room.

He is the heir appointed by Slytherin, and the concept of "blood supremacy" has been integrated into his bones.

Lin Xia doesn't think that Tom, as a Horcrux, will lose this concept.

Lin Xia tentatively wrote a paragraph:

[Tom, don't you want the secret room to be opened? I told me before that you used to study in Slytherin, and Slytherin's philosophy is not to recruit half-blood wizards.

According to Slytherin's idea, you should like the secret room to be opened, instead of actively preventing it]

Tom was silent for a while, and then slowly wrote a paragraph.

[Compared to the Chamber of Secrets being opened, I am more worried that Hogwarts will be affected and closed down. I have deep feelings for Hogwarts, it is my home.

In addition, the Chamber of Secrets being opened by someone of impure blood is itself disrespectful to Salazar Slytherin]

Lin Xia: [Impure blood?]

Tom: [Sorry, I can't tell you more information. I can only say that the person who is trying to open the Chamber of Secrets now is not Salazar's true heir]

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, can't help but explode?

Lin Xia: [Suddenly I hope you can appear in front of me in real life. I think you are more Slytherin than Slytherin students.

If you can appear alive in the real world, without relying on other objects, and have a completely independent mind and personality, you will definitely become an excellent person]

Tom's illusory spirit passed through a trace of confusion.

Independent mind and personality?

This concept flashed in his mind like thunder, which shocked Tom's heart.

With a snap, the diary closed automatically.

Lin Xia looked at this scene thoughtfully. This was the first time that Tom lost his composure like this.

Are the seeds of freedom that have been planted unremittingly these days finally starting to sprout?

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was October.

The damp chill permeated the grounds and penetrated into the castle.

A cold suddenly broke out among the faculty and students, causing the school doctor Madam Pomfrey to be in a panic.

Her refreshing potion had a significant effect, but everyone who took the potion would have smoke coming out of their ears after a few hours.

So Lin Xia saw many little wizards with smoke coming out of their ears in the corridor, and some of them also had smoke coming out of their noses.

Ron was unfortunately infected, and Harry and Hermione also showed signs of catching a cold.

On the other hand, Lin Xia and Draco, who got up every morning for a run, not only did not catch a cold, but their health was getting better and better.

Lin Xia and Draco had grown taller, and their development was better than that of ordinary little wizards.

They had just finished Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration course and were rushing to the laboratory.

Regarding the magic rune spell that combines alchemy and magic runes, others made rapid progress after cramming the relevant knowledge of alchemy and magic runes.

Magic rune spells are typical items that are difficult to get started with, but once you get started, they will become very simple items.

Even though Harry and Ron, who were not the main researchers but only active as assistants, had some knowledge of these two things and were able to assist in the production.

Unexpectedly, Ron and Harry were both excellent in the field of magic runes and were also interested in learning about the boring alchemy knowledge.

Obviously, they are all very boring, but they just can't read the knowledge in the book, but can read the alchemy knowledge.

Ron has been repeating a sentence these days, that is: "I feel that I have the potential to be a gifted student. I have been doing experiments with you these days, and I feel that I have transformed into a gifted student."

Lin Xia thought: I don't know whether he is a gifted student or not.

But because you often come to the laboratory to help, there is less interest in mischief, which makes the professors less troubled.

This can be regarded as a disguised way of achieving what Mrs. Weasley expected Ron to be like.

Suddenly, a crackling sound came, and Lin Xia turned her head to look at the window. Bullet-like raindrops hit the window of Hogwarts, rendering the outside world into a white mist.

Ron muttered: "Is it the season of frequent rain again? I don't like the rainy season. I feel like I am going to mold..."

Lin Xia was about to shift her sight, but suddenly at this moment, the fate compass in her mind suddenly moved and stopped at the "Fuqi" column.

What came to her mind was not a series of text messages, but a series of pictures.

The first picture: On a night with many pumpkin lanterns floating, the little wizards gathered in the Great Hall in panic.

The second picture: There were bright red blood words on the wall-

The secret room has been opened, and those who are enemies of the heir should be alert.

And under this line of words, there was something hanging.

The third picture: Many ghosts floated in the Hogwarts Castle, their smiles were very strange, and they entangled the little wizards.

The picture just flashed by, and after a moment, Lin Xia regained her calm.

She paused slightly, frowned slightly, and recalled the three pictures over and over again.

Especially the second picture, if she was not mistaken, the one hanging on the wall was Mrs. Norris?

How could it be hung on the wall? It was dead... No, that was not death, it should be petrification!

Lin Xia suddenly realized.

She turned and asked, "When is Halloween?"

Draco replied, "November 1st, but the celebration is on the night of October 31st."

He deliberately added, "Lin Xia, do you have any other ideas on that day?"

They also spent Halloween last year at school, but the experience was not good.

Professor Quirrell ran into the Great Hall crying and shouting, saying that a troll was attacking, which led to the hasty end of the party and the collective martial law in Hogwarts.

Originally, the Great Hall was going to hold a dinner after dinner, but it was cancelled in the end.

Because it was a pity last time, as soon as October came this year, many young wizards were discussing how to spend this Halloween.

Lin Xia thought for a while and said slowly, "I have an immature idea, but I have to think about it."

She had discovered before that if she saw things happening in the future from the fate compass, then those things might not necessarily happen.

She could make changes to the future through some attempts.

It sounds easy, but it is actually very difficult to make changes.

So even if Lin Xia knew what would happen on Halloween in advance, she was not sure that she could change the outcome.

She needed to make some attempts.

The next day, she attended Dean Sprout's herbal medicine class. After the class, Lin Xia stayed behind to ask questions.

"Dean, I heard that the school ghosts are going to hold a party together on Halloween. Can we cancel this party?"

The dean was a little surprised: "Cancel? Why cancel?"

Dean Sprout didn't even listen to Lin Xia's reason for canceling, and continued: "It can't be canceled, otherwise the ghosts will make trouble again."

She explained: "Originally, the ghosts should have a party a week after your natural wand launch conference, and this is also the party date they applied for.

But at that time, strange phenomena occurred frequently in Hogwarts. We were worried that the ghost gathering would cause some problems, such as causing strange phenomena again, so after discussion, we finally canceled the original ghost party.

This made the ghosts in Hogwarts very dissatisfied. They retaliated against our cancellation in their own way. They often came out to discuss during the night patrol, making us mistakenly think that they were strange phenomena, but later we found out that they were not."

The dean smiled bitterly and said: "What's more, Halloween is originally a festival for ghosts. If you don't let them get together, they will definitely become more crazy, and you can't say for sure if they go on a rampage.

By then, not only us, but even the little wizards will probably be harassed by them. "

Lin Xia: "So, the party really has to be held?"

Dean Sprout looked at Lin Xia strangely, "Child, although I don't know why you don't want them to hold a party, I can tell you very clearly that even if Dumbledore comes, he can't stop the ghost party."

Lin Xia was silent for a while. It seems that the way to ask the school to cancel the party is not feasible.

She thought for a while, returned to the laboratory, and decided to start with external objects.

Everyone in the laboratory was a little surprised to hear Lin Xia's decision.

"You want to make a talisman with all your strength? Why?"
