Chapter 291 2 Golden Prizes!
Sean's eyes were shining. This must be the first time he was so lucky. He got two golds in just fifty draws!
You must know that the first time he drew, he only got one gold after drawing more than 110.
Dumbledore on the stage was delivering a speech to the freshmen: "...If you want to become a powerful wizard, you need to be down-to-earth and step by step. The beauty of magic lies in exploration. Never think about this magical field being achieved overnight..."
Newt Scamander Suit (Gold): After using it, your magical animal affinity will be increased by two, and you will gain the ability [Beast Whisperer] and the ability [Lugger]. You will be more likely to gain the favor of Scamander's descendants. , it will be easier for you to win the favor of the descendants of Kowalski.
[Beast Whisperer]: You can have preliminary communication with magical animals. The degree of communication is related to the intelligence of magical animals.
[Lugger]: Your items with the space expansion spell cast on them. When you encounter new magical animals and bring them into your little world, your space expansion items will automatically expand the space.
Sybill Trelawney's card (gold): a one-time consumable. When used, raise your hands above your head and recite the incantation "I am the greatest diviner!", you will get an absolutely accurate and will not be confused. Divination of the future of change.
Double yolk egg... Sean was no longer even interested in listening to what Dumbledore said.
Professor Scamander's suit is very powerful, and just these two points of magical animal affinity are impressive enough. At the same time, for the first time, one of Sean's talents went beyond ten points and went directly to eleven points.
[Beast Whisperer] is obviously a talent used for coordination. Sean estimates that this ability should be one of Professor Scamander's talents. His proficiency is definitely not as good as his opponent, but it will definitely be effective when paired with his eleven talents. group.
[Luggage Man] is also a practical ability. Sean is worried about who he should find to help expand the space in the ring. Now he doesn't have to worry.
The only flaw is that he might really want to open a zoo.
As for the other two effects in the set, it is normal for the first one to gain the favor of the descendants of Scamander. Sean knows that Professor Scamander’s grandson, Rolf Scamander, is now attending school in Hufflepuff. En is a grade higher.
The name Kowalski was not memorable to Sean.
If it's related to Newt, maybe it's his Muggle best friend Jacob?
Sean came to this conclusion.
Anyway, this is a good thing.
The second golden item, Sybill Clelawny's card, is a bit fantasy.
A divination with exaggerated movements and shameful lines, a divination of the future that is absolutely accurate and cannot be changed.
A one-time consumable with extremely powerful effects.
Having been in the wizarding world for two years, Sean, who has been in contact with various wizards, knows clearly how difficult it is to perform an accurate divination, and the "will not be changed" in the description makes Sean very interested. .
The future should always change with the changes of the present, and "will not be changed" is an extremely rare descriptive word even in the idealistic wizard magic system.
Sean had a feeling that if Trelawney's card was used properly, there would be a lot of room for maneuver.
Of course, Sean also has to face a problem, that is, how to divine what he wants to divine?
What if he used the card and only divined what kind of breakfast Hogwarts would serve the next day...
It seems that I can't give up the divination course. I need more divination knowledge to match this card... Sean made a decision and went to Professor McGonagall to change the class schedule later.
He opened the system panel and checked his current status.
Name: Sean Wallop (Muggle family origin, unknown bloodline)
Magic items: Grindelwald's branch wand (purple), hand of glory (purple), no-wash wool socks (special), self-fixing lapel pin (special), high-precision looking glass (purple), Lament of the Ancients (gold) ) (cooldown completed), Hermione Granger's Echo (gold) (cooldown completed), Black Sleeper (gold) (cooldown completed), Sybill Trelawney's Card (gold)...
Charms Talent: 8 (You already have the right path to become a powerful wizard)
Transfiguration Talent: 10 (Everything in the world can change, you will become an unprecedented master of Transfiguration!)
Potions Talent: 2 (When brewing potions, your main goal is only one: to stay alive)
Magical Animal Affinity: 10+1 (Natural Archdruid - Are you really not considering opening a zoo?)
Ancient Rune Talent: 2 (Fortunately, you are smart enough to be interviewed by the reporter. He is here to see why you are so stupid.)
…
Dark Magic Talent: 10 (Ha! If you weren’t in Azkaban surrounded by a hundred dementors, then the entire Ministry of Magic should resign!)
Sean raised his eyebrows. The number of magical animal affinity is not represented by 11, but 10+1. Does that mean that the highest talent of a normal wizard is 10 points? The +1 after this is probably the highest. The plus version of talent?
And the comments changed, becoming more casual and relaxed, as if it was a simple thing to open a magical animal zoo.
Dave, the curled-wing demon who has been in Sean's arms, also gave feedback: "Sean, you suddenly smell better, and you still smell a little bit better..."
Of course, apart from the changes, Sean's talent is still as ridiculous as before, and his Potions talent is still two points. His ability to survive Potions class and get good grades in the exam is all thanks to Hermione for help and Snape before sending him the notebook.
Not to mention the ancient runes, these two talents were added by the Dumbledore junior suit drawn previously. The original big 0 points made my head hurt just looking at it - it was a physical head pain.
Now, Sean will get a headache just by staring at the ancient rune teaching textbook for a period of time...
Below the inventory and talent list is a dense list of enchantments.
Sean has now mastered a considerable number of magic spells, not only the commonly used fluorescent spells, repair spells, disarming spells, stun spells, etc., but also many spells that students will not master until graduation. Most of these are Green spells. A small part of what DeVoe taught him was found in the spell book in the Room of Requirement.
Most of the commonly used spells have reached the end of level one proficiency. According to Sean's practice intensity, he will be able to raise most of the commonly used spells to level two proficiency in another week to ten days at most. It is not surprising that silent spell casting will become the norm for Sean to cast spells.
Students at Hogwarts usually only start learning to cast spells silently in their fifth year. Many people can only cast a few spells silently until they graduate, but Sean can reach this point in just over two years.
The system panel gave Sean a shortcut for rapid progress - he did not need to practice silent casting, he only needed to reach two levels of spell proficiency to master it on his own.
Of course, talent and hard work cannot go away. After all, the way to improve proficiency is a lot of boring exercises. In the past two years since Sean entered the wizarding world, except for the holidays when he couldn't use his wand, he basically spent his weekends with Hermione. Learned together.
However, it feels great to be able to see the results of my learning now...
Then, the smile that rose on Sean's lips quickly fell.
Divine Fire Spell (Ancient Magic) lv0: Proficiency
Freezing Spell (Ancient Magic) lv0: Proficiency
Howling Earth Curse (Ancient Magic) lv0: Proficiency 480/20000
Cloud and Mist Binding Spell (Ancient Magic) lv0: Proficiency 530/20000
…
A list of ancient magic spells is arranged stiffly at the end, showing its sudden proficiency to the owner, and at the same time constantly reminding - look at your poor ancient rune talent.
Sean sighed silently. The Divine Fire Curse and the Freezing Air Curse came from the demonstrations of Dumbledore and Grindelwald when they were young. The Roaring Earth Curse, the Cloud Mist Binding Curse and other spells came from the memory fragments of Slytherin. Demo.
He has acquired the spells for almost a year, and each spell has a proficiency limit of 20,000. He does not have a spell with a proficiency of more than 1,000...
It's not that he's lazy and doesn't practice, it's that Sean can't practice at all. He still can't fully cast an ancient magic just by relying on his own strength.
The normal practice during practice is to fail at the stage of constructing runes. Many times, after practicing for an afternoon, the proficiency level is only a pitiful twenty or thirty points.
This also made Sean deeply realize that in the idealistic magic system, the two points of ancient rune talent do not support "diligence can make up for weakness" at all.
On the train to Hogwarts, Hermione, who had been self-study for a while, could already use an ancient rune to construct magic - the kind that relied solely on her own magic power.
I have to find a way to solve it...
The welcome ceremony ended with Sean's thoughts. Amidst the exclamations of the freshmen, a variety of delicious food appeared on the golden plates on the long table, and everyone started to feast.
Hogwarts is still Hogwarts, it remains unchanged. But the atmosphere in Nurmengard, thousands of miles away, may not be so relaxed and happy. The investigation team of the Wizards United Guards and the arrest team for Grindelwald are still active in the castle.
The wanted notices for Grindelwald are still scattered in every corner of the world, but after one summer vacation, the event that shocked the entire wizarding world seems to have calmed down.
Various newspapers and weeklies continued to publicize the horror and evil of Grindelwald, but there was no news about the Dark Lord who burned Paris twice and burned a large number of members of the pure-blood family to death.
There was no terrorist activity, no terrible revenge, it was as if Grindelwald suddenly disappeared - at least the British Ministry of Magic had no other actions except the permanent arrest team, and Hogwarts rarely talked about this wizard. .
The old man who defeated Grindelwald in the Paris night was sitting on the long table in the classroom and talking with the professors with a smile.
Sean, who may be the only one who knew the truth, raised his head and looked at Dumbledore. He forked a piece of steak and put it into his mouth to prevent the doubts in his stomach from popping up.
What are these two old men planning...
After the dinner was over, Dumbledore gave some instructions as in previous years, and the freshmen walked to their own college lounges under the leadership of their prefects, while students from other grades who had eaten and drank went in groups. Walking towards his dormitory.
Sean tried to strike up a conversation with Dumbledore, but the other party still avoided him, and he could no longer find him after turning a corner.
Professor McGonagall came over from behind: "Mr. Wallop, it's already very late. It's time for you to go back to your dormitory."
"Oh, hello, professor," Sean greeted politely, "I was just looking for you."
"What's the matter?" Professor McGonagall didn't look so stern. Ever since the "Voldemort Parasitism" incident in Nurmengard, she had always been very kind to Sean.
Of course, Professor McGonagall always regretted that Sean was not a Gryffindor student.
"Oh, that's right. I've thought about it seriously again. I want to add an elective course on divination."
"Have you changed your mind? I talked to you before, didn't you think Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes were enough?"
"I just think the divination class is worth learning," Sean said.
Professor McGonagall looked him over: "Okay, I will change your class schedule."
"Thank you very much, Professor McGonagall. Good night. I wish you sweet dreams."
However, Professor McGonagall stopped Sean who turned around after saying hello: "Mr. Wallop."
"Yes, Professor."
"Where did you teach yourself the art of transfiguration in fourth grade?"
"Well..." Sean recalled his learning progress, "I have completed self-study of the general content, and I am currently in the stage of strengthening my proficiency."
In fact, Sean has almost learned it. The ten points of Transfiguration talent and long-term practice, and Grindelwald's previous teachings have allowed him to understand many key points.
At present, it is only the content of the fourth grade. Sean can already pat his chest and say that there is no problem, and his proficiency in some transformation techniques is even better than that of senior students.
Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses, motioned to Sean to take out the wand, and then said: "Summon a small vertebrate out."
Sean was a little confused, but he still waved his wand, and with a "pop" sound, a ferret with shiny fur fell to the ground.
Professor McGonagall looked at Sean: "Small mammals are more difficult to transform. This is fifth grade content."
"Ah?" Sean scratched his head. He just summoned him casually. Did Professor McGonagall want to test his transfiguration level?
"Try cross-species shapeshifting."
"Okay." Sean nodded.
He looked intently at the ferret and waved his wand.
The ferret's fur began to divide into patches, they became hard, and the four cute little claws were also extending outward.
With the raised scales, the ferret successfully transformed into a small crocodile.
Sean held down the crocodile's head and opened its mouth to take a look. He sighed with regret: "They are still ferret teeth, not thicker..."
Professor McGonagall was stunned on the spot.
