Not long after, a group of four people arrived at the first floor of the dungeon. The entire dungeon was extremely dark, and even using the fluorescent spell could not illuminate much of the space.
"Professor, what did you bring us here to learn?" Tom couldn't help but ask as Dumbledore stopped next to a huge wooden box.
Dumbledore didn't say anything more. He tapped the wooden box with his wand, and with a click, the wooden box opened, and then a gap was slowly revealed.
And at this moment, the air in the entire dungeon suddenly became extremely cold, and the three of them felt an inexplicable sadness at this time, as if they would no longer be happy.
At this time, Qin Weijie also realized what was in the box, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Dementors!? Old Dengtou, you are a bit too big!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden box was completely opened. A monster in rotten black robes, exuding a cold black aura, was suspended in the air. Its ferocious and withered fingers made people feel sick. It seemed that a frightening mouthpart could be seen through the cloak. It is constantly swallowing something.
After a few seconds, Elena couldn't stand it anymore. After a shrill scream, Elena fell into a coma.
Soon after, Tom couldn't hold it anymore and exclaimed some unintelligible words: "Don't die... don't die... let me go! let me go... I don't want to be your servant... Vijay save Me, help me..."
As he spoke, Tom also lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground, his body twitching continuously.
Qin Weijie was not feeling well at this time. There seemed to be no hope in his heart, and his mind was filled with painful memories.
...In the dark and small room, Qin Weijie held his senior brother's relics and secretly cried...
...In the damp and dark dungeon, a man wearing a Spanish military uniform whipped Qin Weijie's body with a whip...
…
In an instant, all the painful memories seemed to come rushing back, and Qin Weijie felt that his spirit was about to collapse. In the end, Qin Weijie's consciousness became blurred bit by bit.
I don't know how long it took, Qin Weijie woke up leisurely. At this time, he only felt that his body was very cold, as if the biting chill was drilling into his bone marrow. This was just physical torture, and what Qin Weijie couldn't bear was the mental level. Qin Weijie had an inexplicable feeling at this time, as if he would never be happy again in his life.
Qin Weijie gasped and murmured: "Dementors are really terrifying creatures~ Without the protection of the altar, I can't resist the erosion of dementors~"
"You are already very good." Professor Dumbledore's voice sounded, and then a piece of chocolate was handed to Qin Weijie's mouth. Qin Weijie took the chocolate and started to eat it. After watching Qin Weijie eat the chocolate, Dumbledore continued: "You three You are all very good, you have lasted much longer in front of the dementors than I thought, especially you, your performance surprised me."
"What's the use? I haven't lost consciousness yet..."
"This is what happens without training, but you all have good qualifications. You should be able to master the 'Patronus Charm' quickly. With the protection of the Patronus Charm, you will have the ability to protect yourself when facing dementors in the future. ability."
"Are you going to teach us the Patronus Charm?"
Dumbledore nodded. At this time, Tom beside him also woke up. Dumbledore quickly handed over a piece of chocolate: "Eat it, it will be good for you."
Not long after, Irina also woke up leisurely. Dumbledore continued to hand over a piece of chocolate, and then began to teach the three people to practice the 'Patronus Charm'.
"...thinking about happy things..."
"Feel the power in your heart...find the symbol of your inner strength..."
“… embody the symbol of inner strength… materialize it into a physical object…”
"Not firm enough... Be firmer... The power of the patron saint comes from your heart. The stronger your heart, the stronger the patron saint..."
For six or seven hours, Qin Weijie and the others were constantly being tortured by dementors. Seeing that it was almost three o'clock in the morning, Dumbledore still had no intention of stopping.
"Professor, I really can't stand it anymore. It's already three o'clock, and there are still classes tomorrow..." Qin Weijie finally apologized.
Dumbledore disagreed: "I can help you ask for leave for tomorrow's class~ You continue!"
Damn it! What an old pervert! I originally thought that Dumbledore was easier to talk to, but today I discovered that this guy is absolutely ruthless! wrong! This guy is at least a werewolf, or a wolf slayer!
In a state of confusion, Tom and Elena passed out again under the influence of the dementors, with only Qin Weijie still struggling to hold on.
At this time, Dumbledore's murmur reached Qin Weijie's ears: "You don't have so much time! Two days, two days to master the Patronus Charm!"
At this time, Dumbledore changed from his former amiable nature. In Qin Weijie's eyes, the current Dumbledore looked like the dean of high school in his previous life, as if he had an endocrine disorder.
Qin Weijie, who was struggling to support himself, also developed anger at this time, and said angrily: "Why don't you have time!?"
Dumbledore ignored Qin Weijie, as if what he just said was not his. For a moment, Qin Weijie wondered if he had just hallucinated. Why did he only have two days left? Will we face dementors in two days?
Just then, Qin Weijie also fell into coma again...
After practicing all night, it was not until 6 o'clock in the morning that Dumbledore asked the three of them to stop training at full light. At this time, the three of them were already paralyzed with fatigue and did not want to move.
"The progress is a little faster than I expected. You have basically mastered the trick of the Patronus Charm. Tom and Elena can already manifest your Patronus. Although it is still a little thin, at least you can distinguish the image. ." Dumbledore said and looked at Qin Weijie:
"Your progress is a little behind, and you still can't materialize the patron saint. At best, you can only see a phantom at a time, which looks a bit like an elk, with horns on the top of its head and four hooves... Keep working hard, in your heart If the emotion is not strong enough, think about happier memories. That’s it for today. We will continue to train in the dungeon at seven o’clock tonight. Now you can go back and rest!”
…
After a night of torture, the three of them returned to their lounges at seven o'clock in the morning.
When Qin Weijie opened his eyes again, it was already after five o'clock in the afternoon. Although he slept for nearly ten hours, Qin Weijie still felt a trace of exhaustion from the depths of his soul.
Although he still wanted to continue sleeping, Qin Weijie got up reluctantly after looking at the time. After having a simple meal in the auditorium, Qin Weijie walked towards the dungeon.
