Chapter 217: Improved talisman, Professor Babelling's expectations, and Mrs. Norris's disc

Lin Xia thought for a while and felt that there was no need to hide from them about the strange things that happened in Hogwarts recently.

Draco, Hermione, Harry and Ron are the most outstanding little wizards in their grade.

She believed that in this situation, they would make the right decision.

It's not a bad thing to reveal some not-so-secret information to them in advance.

After listening to Lin Xia's analysis, Hermione was the first to respond.

"I agree with your idea, so let's go all out to make the guardian talisman. Although the last ghost vision did not happen again, I always have an intuition that this vision will not be the last."

Draco hesitated, "Originally, the project we were specializing in was [Magic Talisman Gathering]. Seeing that only part of the problem was left, we could research [Magic Talisman Gathering]. Now that we have stopped suddenly, I feel a bit regretful."

On a rare occasion, Ron was able to say a few words.

"No, I don't think so. The remaining part of the problem will take a very long time. I don't think it can be solved within at least two months.

Although it seems to be just a question: how to compress condensed magic text on alchemical items, in fact this problem involves many concepts.

We need to find materials suitable for depicting the condensed magic text, and at the same time, we have to find a perfect fusion plan. We also have to adjust the strength of the condensed magic text, and test how much effect it can exert after compression..."

What he said plausibly was enough to show how hard he had worked on studying magic texts and alchemy this month.

Harry was the one who felt the changes in Ron the most.

Ron's obsession with runes and alchemy these days has almost reached the point where he forgets to eat and sleep.

He didn't study as hard as Ron, but he was led by Ron and he also learned a lot of relevant knowledge.

Maybe it's because he has a unique understanding of magic texts, and he can always understand the meaning of the book faster than Ron.

Harry agreed with Ron's point of view, "If you want to research the [Condensation Talisman], it will never be so fast, but you can't tell when the phenomenon in Hogwarts will appear again, so it's better to refine a batch of enhanced versions first." Guardian Talisman.”

Draco was convinced: "Okay, let's start tonight?"

Lin Xia nodded and said: "I will improve the enhanced version of the guardian talisman tonight. I think the current guardian talisman is not very powerful."

As an alchemy apprentice who started in the last school year, Lin Xia refined the most protective talismans.

She also used guardian talismans to deepen her understanding of alchemy and gained a lot of points that could be redeemed for knowledge.

However, since she entered the second year, Hogwarts has further opened up its database to her.

Lin Xia discovered.

She can read relevant alchemy knowledge for free through school channels without needing to redeem points.

This is considered one of the benefits given to her as an outstanding student.

She specifically asked Draco if he could find this part of the information.

But Draco searched for a long time and couldn't find any relevant knowledge.

It can be seen from this that the Hogwarts school must have grasped some of her current situation, so they deliberately chose to open this part of their knowledge to her.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that the school knew about this.

In school, she always wore a top student badge, and she never hid the secret key she received from the Alchemist Guild.

At least the professors from the four major colleges knew that she had been invited by the Alchemist Association to become an alchemist apprentice.

Not to mention that the guardian talismans she refined later were all dumped through Hogwarts' on-campus channels.

Under the guidance of Lin Xia.

Draco and Hermione both applied to the school to open alchemy knowledge to them through the [Subsidy Application] section of the Excellent Student Key.

Yes, Hermione also won the honors student in the second year, but she has not been notified by the school yet.

The school plans to announce the list of outstanding students at the end of this school year.

As for Lin Xia's advance notification, it was an accident.

It is really shocking that she published a paper on [Magnetic Wand] in her first academic year.

So even the school had to break the rules for her.

But in the second year of school.

Although Hermione is a researcher of [Natural Wand], she is not the main researcher, and the overall value is not as shocking as Lin Xia's.

Therefore, she was issued an outstanding student badge in advance and enjoyed the rights of an outstanding student first, and then she was notified of being an outstanding student at the end of the semester.

After everyone’s discussion.

Hermione also built the laboratory here in Lin Xia, turning the gold galleons used to support the construction of the laboratory into upgrading Lin Xia's laboratory.

As a result, the laboratory received its third upgrade in the second academic year!

It has become safer and more stylish, and it also has many leisure functions.

Because there are so many fun things, Ron and Harry both like to run in the laboratory, and the Gryffindor common room is no longer their first choice.

After a night of discussion.

They have initially determined the enhanced material for the guardian talisman.

They tested according to Lin Xia's idea, and Lin Xia's idea was also very simple.

First of all, the guardian magic text is very classic.

It is also one of the simplest and most basic alchemical magic texts, so she does not modify the core magic texts.

It's not that Lin Xia doesn't want to modify the core basic magic text, but it's just that he hasn't reached the level where it can be modified.

So she thought differently.

For example, can the magic talisman that carries the protective magic text be made more superior and have a better effect on the protective magic text?

Lin Xia and others spent the whole night studying the material of the magic rune and conducted several experiments.

In addition, she not only had to gather the strength of her friends and brainstorm, but also sought help from outside the field.

After the morning class the next day, Lin Xia went to find Professor Babeling.

Professor Babeling was a little surprised that Lin Xia came to her, and first asked: "Is there any problem with your forbidden magic rune?"

Professor Babeling has to do a lot of things every day, and her time is different from that of other professors.

To be precise, she is in a state of time disorder.

Sometimes one day is comparable to three days for other professors, and sometimes it is only 1/3 of the day for others.

In theory, noble people tend to forget things.

Professor Babeling had long forgotten that Lin Xia had looked for her before.

But because Lin Xia asked her about the forbidden magic rune last time, she was very impressed. After Lin Xia left, she deliberately used the elf divination method to divination Lin Xia.

However, she could not divination anything.

She could only vaguely see a circle on Lin Xia.

This phenomenon has never happened before, so Babeling can't see through Lin Xia.

In her eyes, Lin Xia is an extremely mysterious little wizard who is loved by the goddess of magic.

Lin Xia said: "Professor, the effect of sealing magic runes is very good. I am fine. This time I came to you to ask another thing."

Babeling asked curiously: "What is it?"

Lin Xia told her about wanting to improve the guardian amulet and showed her the results of their research for a night.

As a professor of magic runes, Babeling knew clearly that the guardian magic rune was the simplest and most basic magic rune.

If it were someone who was proficient in magic runes, they would not have the idea of ​​modifying the basic magic runes.

For them, the basic magic runes are the core of all magic runes and the origin of the entire magic rune technique.

For example, there are many complex magic runes later, which are actually all variants derived from the basic magic runes through continuous changes.

But Lin Xia has never been exposed to magic literature.

She was completely exposed to a little magic rune through her hobbies and knowledge of alchemy.

So her thinking is not limited by anything and seems a bit whimsical.

Professor Babeling did not denounce Lin Xia's idea. On the contrary, she was quite encouraging: "I look forward to the day when you can modify the basic core magic runes."

The next second, she changed her words, "Your idea is right. Now you have no modification ability at all. Instead of starting from the basic core magic runes, it is better to start from the material of the items that carry the magic runes."

Professor Babeling asked: "Lin Xia, do you know why the guardian amulet is made of ordinary yellow amulets?"

Lin Xia thought for a while: "Is it because the yellow amulet has the best effect when carrying the guardian magic runes?"

Professor Babeling shook her head: "No, it's because the yellow amulet has the simplest production process and the materials are also simple, and it can be made casually.

So when the wizard world discovered that the yellow amulet can carry the guardian magic runes, the guardian amulet was born."

She paused and smiled slightly: "Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, this is the birth process of the guardian amulet.

Among them, no wizard has tested the power of the guardian amulet. Everyone only needs to know that the guardian amulet is of some help in resisting the invasion of the evil god's power."

Babeling has a lot of things to do every day.

For simple things like improving the talisman, she could come up with several solutions with just a thought.

But the problem is that she doesn't think about these problems at all.

The world she is exposed to has been separated from the wizarding world of the general public.

The talisman is just a speck of dust floating in the air. Who would be interested in a speck of dust?

Babling looked at Lin Xia with interest, but the student in front of her was different.

She has a very different character.

Babling's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. Perhaps, Lin Xia can really be the key to breaking the deadlock. She is very different.

Dumbledore's choice is Harry Potter. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Harry before.

But now, she values ​​Lin Xia more.

However, Professor Babling is still hesitant about whether to join this fateful contest.

Anyway, there is still time, so let's observe secretly first.

Professor Babling said: "I am very interested in your research topic. If possible, I hope to become your communication professor."

Lin Xia was a little surprised. This was a complete surprise.

She only hoped to get some help from Professor Babeling, but Professor Babeling threw a big pie at her, suggesting that she could trouble her a little more.

Professor Babeling thought about it, waved her hand gently, and a piece of parchment and an automatic feather pen floated up.

The automatic feather pen jumped quickly on the parchment, and soon, lines of text appeared in front of Lin Xia.

A few minutes later, the automatic feather pen stopped jumping, and the parchment automatically floated in front of Lin Xia.

"Although the guardian magic rune is not my research area, I have studied how to strengthen the materials of the magic rune effect.

No matter what type of magic rune, it is still a magic rune after all, and there should be some connection in this regard.

Take this information back, you can try it one by one, learn from it, and come to me if you don't understand anything."

Professor Babeling said very straightforwardly, and when Lin Xia was about to leave, her voice sounded again from behind.

"By the way, I've given you permission. You can come to me directly in the future without the approval of other professors."

Lin Xia turned around and said thank you to Professor Barbling.

After she left Professor Barbling's office, she turned to look out the window.

Last time she came, she came at noon, and it was dusk when she left without talking for a few words.

This time, she also chose noon.

It felt like the conversation took longer than last time, but when she looked out the window, it was no different from when she came.

Lin Xia couldn't help but take out the magic clock from her small leather bag, looked down, frowned slightly, and only 10 minutes had passed.

She turned to look at the office behind her.

Hogwarts offices are all the same, and Professor Barbling is no exception. Her office style is also very ordinary, without any special decoration.

But every time Lin Xia went in, she had unexpected gains.

She returned to the laboratory with the information given by the professor.

Hermione and others were all there, so they immediately held a meeting to discuss.

While Lin Xia was making an enhanced version of the amulet with all his strength, some changes also occurred in Hogwarts.

In a gloomy and remote corner, Filch appeared with an oil lamp, his body a little hunched.

He kept calling Mrs. Norris's name.

"Meow!" A shrill cat cry came, and Filch walked into an abandoned bathroom.

Mrs. Norris looked up at the ceiling of the bathroom, and it seemed that it had discovered something unusual.

Filch also looked up, but found nothing.

He whispered: "Norris, don't go to too remote places recently."

All Filch's care for Norris was focused on constantly strengthening various protective equipment for it.

But even so, it couldn't eliminate his uneasiness.

In the past, he would bring Mrs. Norris with him when he patrolled. They were the best partners, one person and one cat.

But recently Filch has been considering whether to let Mrs. Norris rest for a while.

Recently, he has always been suddenly flustered, as if something important is going away from him.

Only when he saw Mrs. Norris could he calm down.

"Meow!" Mrs. Norris still stared at the ceiling and called louder and louder.

Filch looked up at the ceiling again and saw nothing.

So he picked up Mrs. Norris and left the bathroom.

Not long after he left, a large shadow like the night slowly emerged and descended on the bathroom.

A few days passed.

Their research had not made any major progress, but Draco had made unexpected gains elsewhere.

Draco found Lin Xia alone and talked to her about house elves.

"Last time you asked me to investigate Dobby, and this time we made a new discovery. It was transferred to work in the branch a few years ago, but then the branch sold it and lost contact with it."

Lin Xia asked: "When was it sold?"

Draco: "Two years ago."

Lin Xia: "Can you find a buyer?"

Draco shook his head: "Still investigating, but the branch doesn't remember much about house elves, so I'm afraid they can't give an immediate response.

If I hadn't been tough on them, they probably wouldn't even have said anything about the resale."
