In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lupine teaches the young wizards how to deal with water monkeys correctly.
This thing is different from water ghosts, which belong to the category of aberrations or monsters.
Some scholars also believe that it should be an undead monster. In short, there is endless debate.
But not the water monkey, it is a serious magical animal. It's just a bit wild and often attacks people in the waters of its territory.
If someone swims in its territory, it is vulnerable to attack.
Ted: I used to know a magical animal expert named Xiaoliang, who was particularly good at dealing with water monkeys.
Lupine taught a few other techniques, from medicines to simple rituals.
But finally we have to come back to magic, the Banishing Spell!
Generally, the expulsion spell is the best choice at this time. It is simple, convenient and practical, and is very effective in self-protection.
Repelling spells are a broad category, ranging from Muggle repelling to spider repelling, to water monster repelling to flying monster repelling.
This is an important magic spell for wizards to protect themselves in the wild.
There are many types. In the past fifty years, there have been three new expulsion spells. They are all types that are practical and convenient, recognized by the public, and widely spread.
Of course, there are also some expulsion spells that have been developed privately, but their usefulness is limited and very few people know how to do it.
This kind of "private curse" situation is still very common in the magic world.
Because Lupine preferred to take practical classes, this class was held by the Black Lake.
There were two water monkeys trapped by him at the water's edge to serve as targets for the little wizards.
In fact, many students failed to cast this spell, which Ted thought was very simple, in the first few times.
Even if you learn it temporarily, it will probably be difficult to successfully cast it once you face a very ferocious water monkey that jumps and screams like a monkey in Mount Emei.
Too young and lacking experience.
This shows how precious the "Book of Adventure" left by Gryffindor is. Not only can it broaden your horizons and see various monsters and enemies, it can also increase your combat experience, get through the vulnerable period, and indirectly see the characters. Ancient magic from Lanffindor's time!
You even get experience!
Yes, fighting in the "Adventure Book" requires experience. It's just one-tenth of reality.
This book would have been extremely valuable when Ted first entered school.
But now, he needs too much experience to upgrade, and the benefits of "Adventure Book" are better than nothing.
Of course, it may also be because the enemies in the first ten chapters are too weak, and one-tenth of the experience is of little value.
But at Gryffindor's level, the enemies in the middle and later stages are probably all over ten levels. At that time, you will naturally have a lot of experience, and you can defeat them again and again!
Ted had already mastered the magic spell of "dispersing water monsters" and watched the little wizards still fighting passionately with the two water monkeys while watching the scenery in boredom.
Because it was Friday afternoon, some grades had no classes. Therefore, many students walk, play and date by the Black Lake.
In the evening when the sun is in the west and the temperature is neither hot nor cold, the young lovers are walking hand in hand on the lawn by the black lake under the setting sun... How beautiful!
etc!
What's going on with those two male classmates holding hands?
What? U.K?
yes! I'm in the UK, so that's fine.
Before get out of class ended, Ron suggested that everyone go to the kitchen to see what dishes were served for today's dinner.
The other friends readily agreed, and many times they could taste the new dishes developed by the elves in advance, which was very nice~
But Ted refused.
"You go ahead, I have something to do and I have to go to the principal's office."
Seeing that Ted had no intention of explaining, the friends nodded.
Ten minutes later, Ted had arrived in front of the principal's office.
He contacted Principal Deng in advance and learned the password.
"Heaps of cockroaches and rolling donkeys!"
Yes, this is the new password. The main focus is a combination of Chinese and Western styles!
The gargoyle nodded and moved aside, revealing the stairs.
Stepping on the steps, you automatically rose to the office. Dumbledore was already waiting behind his desk.
In a large plate with a diameter of forty centimeters, a large number of black cockroaches were crawling around, but they could not crawl out of the porcelain plate.
There is also a small plate on one side, with a few donkeys rolling around in it, and it is actually eaten with bean noodles.
Lao Deng is really good at eating. He improved his kitchen menu and introduced fresh dishes from various countries, which made him look bad.
"Hmm~ Sit down quickly. Ted, do you want some?" Lao Deng pointed to the pile of cockroaches crawling around.
Ted nodded, picked up a donkey and rolled it around to eat.
Lao Deng was so calm. It was obvious that Ted had already said, "I have something very important to tell you."
In the end, he was stunned to show off his calmness.
Ted didn't care, he ate and drank, and kept talking for five minutes. I even tasted a few of the cockroach piles - although they looked disgusting, they were okay to eat. They were actually moving candies, and they still had candy hearts inside when you bit them.
Lao Deng couldn't sit still. After all, he was the one who was prostituted for free.
"So, what's going on?"
Ted nodded: "Prophecy. In this afternoon's divination class, Professor Trelawney left me to say a few words. When I was about to leave, I suddenly entered a spiritual vision and she made a prophecy. .”
Then, he once again imitated Trelawney's look and voice: "Darkness! Death! is approaching! Stop him, stop him, he is coming!"
To be honest, it’s so similar!
Ted's voice could imitate any sound he heard, including human voices.
Coupled with that outstanding performance, Dumbledore felt as if Trelawney had possessed Ted.
However, after all, he is a person who has personally experienced the original prophecy and knows the seriousness of the matter.
"Do you think it could be him?" he asked.
"Tom?"
"Um."
Ted thought for a while and shook his head: "According to the intelligence, he should still be living in the forest of Romania, and no one is approaching him."
"Darkness, death, who could it be?" Dumbledore began to think about his old friend.
This prophecy is too vague and contains too little content. Without time or characters, it’s really hard to guess.
Ted tapped the table lightly: "You haven't forgotten the Fire Land incident two months ago, have you?"
After all, Lao Deng is a centenarian, and sometimes his thinking is fixed and not so flexible.
"You mean, from other worlds... However, you shouldn't pay too much attention to things like prophecies, otherwise you will fall into them."
…
"Ah! Failed again! Even Ted couldn't pass!" Neville looked desperate.
"It's too difficult! I can't do this question!" Ron sat on the ground in a panic.
He dies again in the Book of Adventures.
Although it will not cause harm, it is still very scary because of the great terror between life and death. And it’s very physically demanding.
He took out a chicken leg and took a bite to replenish energy.
Adventure Chapter 12.
This time, the small team was stumped!
The previous adventure chapters were either a test of combat prowess or a test of wisdom.
Chapters that test wisdom will block relevant memories.
That is to say, if you get information the first time you go in, you won't remember it the second time you go in. Once you're in the adventure, you can't remember anything about it.
This has caused Ron and Neville enough suffering in Chapter 9.
The two of them got stuck more than twenty times before they were finally forced to change their thinking patterns and finally passed.
To be honest, the progress was really big. It is the first step for a wizard to move from childishness to maturity.
And this chapter 12 turns out to be a triple test of combat effectiveness, comprehensive ability and wisdom!
And it's not enough to just defeat the monsters, you also have to protect the villagers and collect resources so that they have enough food and fuel for the winter.
The monster is an ice monster led by an old winter wolf. Although it is not very powerful, it is very cunning.
Monsters like winter wolves are only found in very cold places. They are very intelligent and some of them can even learn to talk.
The famous magical animal expert Newt once wrote in an article that he had encountered the smartest winter wolf in Northern Europe a few years ago, and he could speak English, German, Swedish and Giant language!
Ted was certain that the intelligence attributes of this winter wolf should exceed those of Ron and Neville.
As the protagonist, you have to prevent winter wolves from invading the village in this adventure, and you also need to collect supplies amidst their harassment to ensure that the villagers can survive the winter instead of dying of cold and starvation.
But in a snowstorm that lasted for more than half a month, there was almost a life-and-death competition between the monsters led by the winter wolf and the villagers. There are only enough resources for one party to survive.
Under such circumstances, the monsters waged guerrilla warfare, often without risking their lives...
Ted also failed three times because there were too many villagers killed or injured, or there was insufficient supplies, so he couldn't pass the level.
As for Ron and Neville, they had been killed three times by the old winter wolf.
They were very annoyed every time they were tricked, played, and bitten to death by a wolf.
Like the twins, most of them are not up to standard in collecting supplies.
Hermione and Jerry were unable to protect the villagers well.
Harley, on the other hand, often gets hot-headed and explodes with anger. She rushes straight into the snowstorm to chase the winter wolves, and ends up falling into a snow pit and being beaten to death, or is lured into a crevasse and falls to her death.
Once, Harley fell into a crack and had to endure it for three days before she died.
That face is ugly! Malfoy saw it from a distance, turned around and ran away.
The setback this time was really quite big, and the friends were a little stimulated.
Even Ron was eating snacks and thinking about some magic that might be useful after returning to his dormitory.
As the saying goes, books become less useful when they are used, and the same goes for magic.
The adventure in this chapter really made them see many shortcomings in themselves.
In fact, Ted has a way to pass the level, but that is meaningless. It is better to let Gryffindor teach his friends a lesson.
However, the 16-year-old Gryffindor can already do this. He cast two ancient magics during the adventure, both in power and effect, they are quite amazing!
