Chapter 82 082. Rimbaud Reply to Lockhart

That night, Scott waited until Milton returned to the dormitory after curfew and discussed it with him again.

But facing the stubborn "English Daiyu", Scott could not dispel his idea.

In the end, he could only advise Milton to always pay attention to his body and always have some energy-replenishing potions.

Milton gratefully agreed.

In the next few days, he still went out early and came back late every day, and he was not seen except for class and sleep time.

Scott could only use magic perception to detect his physical condition every time they met, in order to find out what the weird oath was all about.

Milton listened to Scott's advice, prepared energy-replenishing potions, and his physical condition was also significantly improved.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

But what Scott never expected was that the thing he had been worried about was completely solved a few days later.

This matter was not solved by anyone, but by the group of music-obsessed musicians in the classical music club who gave up on their own.

After hearing the news, Scott was stunned for a long time.

Are you kidding me!

He shouted in his heart, with a feeling of something stuck in his throat.

"Why did you give up?" he asked Milton.

Perhaps his tone was too complicated, which attracted Roger and Eddie's surprised gaze.

But Scott had no time to explain to them his complex feelings of emptiness and loneliness after fighting wits with the air.

"We tried our best, but we still couldn't play the real song."

Milton said unwillingly.

"Gideon suggested that everyone give up. In order not to tarnish such beautiful music, we decided to try again after our skills are improved in the future."

"..."

Because of this reason?

Scott suddenly felt that this was indeed something that this group of literary men and women could do.

Scott recognized this reason.

He sighed and said to Milton: "It's better to give up. You have been exhausted by the song and your health is getting worse. This will only lead to a vicious cycle."

"Thank you, Scott, we think so too." Milton smiled easily.

Because he had been in a tense state for the past few days, Scott and others hadn't seen him so relaxed for a long time.

Everything went back to normal in the days that followed, and nothing bothered Scott anymore.

He also temporarily put this matter behind him and devoted himself to the second transformation of the Raven Rambo setting.

The reason why I say temporarily is because...

I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that this matter is not over yet.

But Scott deliberately ignored this feeling.

For him, the most important thing at this stage is the progress in Transfiguration.

Regarding Rambo, in Scott's opinion, the last failure was due to his excessive pursuit of perfection.

In order to make Rambo more "useful", in his setting, Rambo can not only speak, but also has the wisdom of an adult, rich combat experience, and a flying speed that exceeds most birds...

These piled conditions obviously greatly increase the difficulty of Transfiguration.

And Scott's own Transfiguration attainments and magic level have not reached the corresponding level.

So the result is that Rambo appeared briefly and disappeared, and he himself fainted due to overload.

After thinking about these, Scott decided to change the plan.

That is to let Rambo evolve step by step as he progresses.

In this way, the initial version only needs to set the simplest ability.

Scott pondered for a few days and finally made a choice.

He set Rimbaud as a raven with no other abilities except talking, and his intelligence was reduced to the level of an ordinary owl.

As for memory and experience, they were simplified a lot.

This time he succeeded.

"Scott!"

Rimbaud, who had just been "born", called Scott's name, flew to his shoulder, and rubbed his face with his head twice.

"Hello, Rimbaud."

Scott stretched out his hand and let the raven in his palm.

"Hello, Scott!"

Rimbaud flapped his wings and looked very happy.

Scott's hand gently stroked the raven's shiny black feathers, and the smile on his face was a bit formulaic.

Although this initial version of Rimbaud looked almost real, it was just equivalent to an ordinary intelligent robot.

It was actually a world of difference from the ultimate version that was close to a real creature that he originally wanted.

Looking at the raven in his hand, Scott had completely figured it out at this time.

Transfiguration is just transfiguration after all.

He actually wanted to challenge the "God's Domain" of the "Creator" as an apprentice wizard!

It was too arrogant.

He guessed that the raven that appeared briefly in the previous attempt was actually far from the set level.

But Scott was not ready to give up.

Because wizards have been so arrogant since ancient times!

According to historical records, magical animals born in the hands of wizards are not uncommon.

The most typical one is the basilisk bred by the notorious black wizard "Herbo the Despicable" in ancient Greece.

Scott believed that magic itself has no boundaries, only wizards have boundaries.

Dumbledore said that using magic requires a price.

He just can't pay the corresponding price now.

After getting his mood in order, Scott used Transfiguration to create a bonsai in the shape of a dead branch.

He placed the bonsai on the bookshelf at the head of the bed and let Rimbaud live on the dead branch.

After placing Rimbaud, Scott unfolded a piece of parchment and began to consider writing a reply to Bill Weasley.

He finally decided to conceal his initial results of combining Transfiguration and ancient magic runes in a tricky way.

Although he used a stupid step-by-step method and his results did not seem to have much effect, such results were still revolutionary.

Scott really wanted to exchange knowledge in this area with Bill Weasley, because the other party was now in Egypt, and there were a lot of first-hand research materials in those pyramids.

But he was not familiar with the other party after all, and there was no basis for trust between them.

Out of cautious habit, he finally decided to wait and see.

He did not want to define a living wizard based on the description in the "original book".

In this letter, he only expressed his gratitude and regret, and took the initiative to communicate with the other party about some other issues of Transfiguration.

These questions try to be meaningful, arouse the other party's interest in discussion, and show his genius to a certain extent.

In this way, the other party should write back to communicate with him.

When the two sides get familiar with each other after more exchanges, Scott will also understand what kind of person the real Bill Weasley is.

Scott folded the letter and put it in an envelope, and decided to go to the school's owl shed to mail the letter.

At this moment, Eddie suddenly opened the door and rushed into the dormitory.

"I can't believe it!" he shouted, "Guess what I found? This is so shocking!"

Scott didn't speak, just looked at him with calm eyes.

Eddie clapped his hands fiercely, "Okay, maybe I should give you a hint."

He walked to Scott's desk and said mysteriously: "This matter is related to Lockhart. You will never guess what he wants to do!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in anything about that idiot." Scott turned his head.

He was fed up with Lockhart's stage play in class and the homework that required everyone to write hymns.

"Okay." Eddie took the initiative to talk about the details. "Lockhart deliberately ran into Dumbledore while he was walking, and someone heard him applying to Dumbledore to hold a duel club!"

Another "original" event is about to happen?

Scott turned his head and looked at Eddie.

"Dumbledore rejected him!"

Eddie spoke more vigorously.

"Lockhart has been pestering him and advocating his status as an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League."

Rejected?

Scott was a little surprised.

But not too surprised.

Now that the "Chamber of Secrets Incident" has been completely resolved, students do not need a temporary duel club to improve their practical skills.

"... At this time, the most shocking thing happened!"

When Scott was distracted, Eddie's mouth never stopped.

"Snape appeared!" Eddie also had self-doubt when talking about this matter, "He actually spoke for Lockhart!"

I know this question.

Scott thought.

Snape just wanted to take the opportunity to teach Lockhart a lesson for stealing his favorite position.

It would be even better if other students besides Slytherin could be embarrassed.

Especially Potter.
