Chapter 1032 Multiple Choice Question

The dismantling of the basilisk went more smoothly than Elena imagined.

The masterpiece that the Goblin King Legnus I had dreamed about thousands of years ago withstood Hannah's brute force.

Under Hannah's increasingly skilled and standard sword-swinging movements, the seemingly tough scales of the dead basilisk were not much stronger than the parchment.

Under Elena's seduction, Hermione and Luna also began to practice "physical magic" in their spare time - Luna chose a bladed bow, while Hermione chose a relatively traditional lady's stabbing sword. The source is naturally those shared weapons in the Hogwarts treasury.

"I still don't understand why a wizard must master at least one cold weapon..."

Hermione rubbed her sore wrist, and before Elena could speak, she quickly silenced the girl's previous confusing answers.

"It is no longer the era of Mr. Gryffindor. The "International Statute of Secrecy of Wizards" has been in effect for centuries. Muggles and wizards rarely interact or interact with each other. Wizards do not rely on cold weapons to protect themselves. ——Besides, even for self-defense, firearms are obviously more effective than swords, right? Not to mention, you have now developed magic armor like Valkyrie."

"First of all, it's 'we' and not 'you'—"

Elena corrected her seriously, while controlling the ever-changing blade to extend under the snake's skin.

"In Hogwarts and many specific venues, cold weapons still have advantages that cannot be replaced by hot weapons and magic. Of course, firearms training will also be put on the agenda later, but with intelligent assistance, The strength of the manipulator is the key.”

"Of course, what's more important is that in the primary stage of magic civilization, they are more compatible with magic, for example..."

Elena pressed her right hand on the one-meter-long snake section cut open by Hannah, with an expression of innocent joy on her face.

"Disintegrate, Hecate of the polar night——"

She chanted softly, and her right hand suddenly spread upward like a flower petal.

Countless jet-black blades shining with metallic light pierced out from the basilisk's skin.

In the center of the falling green snake scales, a coquettish and beautiful black metal flower bloomed instantly.

Under the petals, the white snake meat was like a building block that had lost its support, silently disintegrating into various thick pieces of meat. After Elena's meticulous magic exploration, she shook the moment she drew the knife. It has been possible to achieve this without damaging the muscle texture of the ingredients.

Of course, what Elena is doing now is just a rough decomposition work.

More detailed slicing and separation will be further refined by Hermione and Luna.

"Flexible manipulation of a single magic weapon is the first step in controlling Valkyria's armor."

Elena said calmly, turning her head to look at the two little witches behind her, and gently flicked her fingers to retract the delicate little cross.

"Gringotts Wizarding Bank can create exclusive weapons for you, but the premise is that your magic power and magic skills meet the standards - as for the judging criteria, the decomposition accuracy of the ingredients will be determined, which reaches 6% of my magic control level. Ten is considered qualified.”

On the light blue ice shelf formed by frost not far away, pieces of snake meat as thin as cicada wings are laid out layer by layer.

Under the cold blue flames of the underground ice cellar, you can vaguely see the white texture on the snake meat.

"Sixty percent? Who are you looking down on? Elena."

Hermione rolled her eyes at Elena and snorted angrily, the wand in her left hand intersecting with the stabbing sword in her right hand.

On the other side, Luna also raised the blade bow in her hand.

Perhaps it is not possible to directly activate "Hecate of the Polar Night" to expand and transform like Elena.

But with the help of magic wands, they can now achieve the liberation of their basic forms. If judged according to the normal force value, their attacks can almost use instantaneous transformation to complete the instant kill operation after hitting most fixed target organisms.

The only difference is the precision and power of the operation...

Under Elena's thoughtful gaze, Hermione and Luna waved the weapons in their hands at the same time.

Along with the soft shouts of the girls, countless cold lights pierced the air conditioning.

"liberation--"

"liberation."

And further afield.

Hannah adjusted her breathing and recalled the sword-swinging skills Elena taught her.

The Sword of Gryffindor is a standard English broadsword.

As a sword tailor-made for adult men, it was slightly too long for thirteen-year-old Hannah.

Therefore, Elena taught her the most classic Scottish two-handed giant sword slashing method - only a frontal attack method, pure to the extreme, blessed by the power of the bull from ancient runes. , in theory, the stone statue in front of the principal's office can be easily split.

This is why Gryffindor is invincible in duels: this sword can even split through most magical barriers.

And now that phantom migration magic is becoming more and more mature, its upper limit is much higher than it was back then.

"call--"

The sword of Gryffindor turned into a blur of sword shadow and disappeared into the body of the basilisk.

With a sound like butter meeting a heated blade, the seemingly tough and huge basilisk body quickly split into two.

"Elena, I think...I did it?"

Hannah was stunned for half a second, then squatted down to the basilisk body and observed it carefully for a few seconds.

"Look, have I met the requirements you mentioned? Did I feel like I succeeded just now?"

Well--

Why is this silly guy so talented in the physics department? !

Elena turned her head, glanced at the extremely smooth incision, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

It’s obvious that a new era of Hogwarts swordsmanship has been born.

"Well, Hannah is qualified——"

…………

The two Lockharts returned the day before their vacation ended.

His outlook on life has undergone another reshaping, and at the same time his crumbling love.

He was in a very confused mood now. After his persuasion and explanation, Arkhipovna did not leave directly after all. The two of them spent time together in the "Core Research Institute" in a very subtle atmosphere. Most of the Christmas holiday - the kind that never left me.

At least in the eyes of the goblins and Tianming Group employees around them, the two of them were more like the top executives of the organization who came to spend their honeymoon.

"All actions of informal members must be carried out under the attention of the 'introducer'."

These are the basic rules for visiting the Hyperion and all other worlds, an iron rule that even Elena must strictly abide by.

With the help of this rule, Lockhart successfully "retained" Arkhipovna who wanted to leave - just as Lockhart had predicted, for a researcher like Arkhipovna In terms of technology, the technology that is decades ahead of the outside world in the human survival protection organization, those magics beyond imagination, and scientific integration industries are simply as irresistible as the torch that appears before the eyes of moths in the night.

A few months ago, the "wife-controlling technique" that Arthur Weasley boasted at the Black Sea Shipyard had a little effect.

Although Arkhipovna doesn't have a good look on him these days, when talking about things every night, this Russian shrew who has the absolute upper hand does not show much resistance, from being unfamiliar to being familiar with her. , this is a life experience that Lockhart has never experienced before.

But on the other hand, Arkhipovna's condescending look of disgust made Lockhart fall into deep self-doubt.

Especially when the two returned to Hogwarts, everything seemed to be back to where it was before departure.

"Thank you, Mr. Lockhart, and we'll call it a day."

After leaving the Hyperion, Arkhipovna said this, just as calm and intellectual as before.

"I have paid for the visit fees, food and accommodation expenses these days, right? You are the high-ranking Major Arcana, the wizard, the big shot in charge of all the industries in the Succubus City - all the gifts given by fate are all hidden in the dark. There’s a price on it—right?”

"Uh, Bona...what are you talking about? I thought we, no, why didn't I-"

"The code of the 'Succubus City', the first sentence on the first page - is it familiar?"

Arkhipovna glanced at the stupid wizard, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she bit her lip lightly.

"Sorry, I'm just an ordinary, Muggle physicist with no magic powers."

"During this period, I took the time to read all your previous works. If those stories are all true, then you have at least three lovers and maybe even a wife. And if those are false, then who are you? Is one sentence true?"

"Uh, all of them? When, that's a whole nine--" Lockhart opened his mouth, a little confused.

"After you fall asleep and before you get up..."

Arkhipovna curled her dark red hair with her fingers and said calmly.

"There is a terminal in the room of the Hyperion. I can activate the search function by entering my personal information. The A-level researcher has more permissions than I thought. I even found some information that I could not see in the Landau Institute before. Confidential documents arrived.”

"Terminal?" Lockhart blinked.

He always thought that was a convenient service call window.

Wait, now is not the time to worry about the magical facilities on the Hyperion.

"Listen to my explanation, Arkhipovna, this is supposed to be a secret that only the Major Arcana knows - in fact, those books, well, in terms of stories, most of them are true, but they are not my personal Experience. Before officially serving Tianming, I was a memory thief..."

Lockhart swallowed subconsciously, hesitated for less than half a second, and continued.

"In short, I tracked them down, and then used magic to record the things others did on my own account."

"Oh, very despicable, or rather remarkable... academic theft, merit theft——"

Arkhipovna raised her eyebrows, and her eyes became really cold for the first time.

"So, when are you going to deal with me? Mr. Liar."

"Wait, wait, what do you mean by planning to deal with you——"

"You just said clearly that these things are secrets that only the Major Arcana can know. Then, according to the principle of confidentiality, you have every reason to correct this mistake without violating any regulations... You can now legally eliminate it I have a long memory."

Arkhipovna walked up to Lockhart, looked into his eyes, and said calmly.

"Otherwise, I will report your violation to 'Miss Fool'. The greatest danger to the intelligence agency lies here."

"Varied--"

"Leaking organization secrets because of personal emotions, putting it in the KGB, is a major problem that needs to be eliminated directly, not to mention that you have said so many things that should not be said these days. My memory... is the one who reported you Fatal evidence.”

Arkhipovna took out the wand from Lockhart's waist and pressed it against her chest.

"Do it, Lockhart."

Is this Russian shrew crazy?

Lockhart looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

And what's even more outrageous is...

He suddenly noticed that the skin behind Arkhipovna's ears was stained with a light pink color.

"Hey, you actually still like me, right?"

A look of pride flashed across Lockhart's handsome face, and he hugged the woman who was brought to him and said in a determined tone.

"I'm a wizard, you can't fool me - I'm very proficient in Legilimency, which is what you call mind-reading. What you said so much is actually to force me to erase your memory, so that we break up. Right? I've seen through your plan a long time ago."

"...Let go. You, you...you are an idiot."

Caught off guard by Lockhart, Arkhipovna subconsciously struggled a few times.

Then, she sighed helplessly.

After spending so many days together, she already knew this guy's IQ level.

And Lockhart's inference just now was full of loopholes, so she didn't even have the interest to expose it.

"Forget it, I'll just say it—"

Arkhipovna breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and looked at Lockhart, and said seriously.

"This is a multiple-choice question, understand? Lockhart."

"If you hope to become a true member of the 'Major Arcana', then you must show enough reliability. The end of this Christmas vacation journey is not with me. Your choice will be that of several other Major Arcana judges. The standard - in the first step, you failed, you were not cautious enough to keep the secret. Then in the second step, you must at least have the ability to correct...well..."

"These tips are enough, I know what to do..."

Lockhart let go of Arkhipovna and licked his lips.

"You guessed the question, but you didn't understand that the correct answer was never either one or the other."

"Major Arcana, I never do multiple-choice questions——"
