Chapter 525 Lottery and Elixir of Fortune

,!

After observing in the dark for a while, Sean quickly left. He just wanted to confirm whether Salazar Slytherin had returned. Since he saw the ghost of the other party with his own eyes, there was no need to stay any longer. .

Before leaving, Sean took one last look. The rune symbol was obviously written by Dumbledore, and it seemed to be to trap Slytherin.

What makes Sean a little confused is Slytherin's position.

Leon Schneider asked him for help, which shows that the appearance of Slytherin must be related to the returner, and the two parties may have reached some kind of deal. Because ordinary ghosts cannot interfere with the present world, they only have the memories and emotions of their lifetime, but no magic power.

Since the other party asked Slytherin for help, it means that Slytherin must be like the returner, between the dead and the living, neither alive nor dead, and possesses some of the abilities he had in life. This is something that only the returner can do. .

And Slytherin did not respond to the other party's call for help. Maybe it means that one of the four giants is not actually from the returnees' side?

Considering that Dumbledore had entered the Chamber of Secrets, Sean felt that Dumbledore and the founder might have reached some kind of agreement - however, Dumbledore was not completely trusting Slytherin, so he set up this rune barrier. , to prevent the other party from walking out of the secret room.

Then Slytherin's position was a bit subtle. However, from the perspective of Hogwarts students, Sean felt in his heart that Slytherin still favored them more.

Of course, this is not what Sean should be thinking about now.

When he walked out of the secret room, Sean searched carefully. When he was deeply under the spell of [Laziness], it seemed that there were people besides Leon Schneider and a few returnees, but he could not clearly perceive the situation at the time. So not sure.

One link in the whole plan, Reinhard Knott, also did not show up.

Moreover, Leon Schneider's state has always made Sean a little strange. The other party is too impulsive - this makes Sean very confused.

Sean has met several groups of returnees in succession. Except for Andros, the other returnee members he met seemed... not very smart?

Whether it is the Thomas trio or Leon Schneider, they all seem to be very reckless and impulsive, especially Leon Schneider - before something happened, this person had been hiding in the dark and never showed his face. , doesn’t like to be pushy either, and seems to have quite the endurance to endure.

But he was so irrational at the critical moment. Even if the returnee reminded him, he still stepped into Sean's trap.

However, after a careful search, Sean did not find any other suspicious people. In this operation, the other party did not seem to have many manpower.

After returning in vain, Sean sighed in the end. He did not choose to return to the dormitory, but went to the Room of Requirement.

After habitually recording all the information he got this time and sorting it out again, Sean chose to find a cushion and lie down next to the stove.

The divination coins produced by the system were indeed correct, and he was not in danger... and the premise of this lack of danger was that [Arrogance] would take action to help him eliminate the magical influence of [Laziness], which was indeed the case.

In fact, due to various factors, Sean has gained more benefits. He will have more chips to face [Arrogance] in the future. This is the most important thing.

This proves one thing, the level of the system is completely higher than the level of guilt - however, the origin of the system is even more thought-provoking.

I casually called up the system panel and took a look.

Name: Sean Wallop (Muggle family origin, unknown bloodline)

Magic items: Hand of glory (purple), no-wash wool socks (special), self-fixing lapel pin (special), high-precision looking glass (purple), Lament of the Ancients (gold) (cooling not completed), Hermione· Granger's Echoes (gold) (cooldown completed), Black Sleeper (gold) (cooldown completed), Sybill Trelawney's Card (gold)...

Looking at the words on the panel, Sean looked thoughtful.

He has always been very concerned about the words in brackets after his name - Muggle family origin, unknown bloodline.

Bloodline inheritance is a very common phenomenon in the wizarding world. Whether it is She Laoqiang, Disguise Manis, etc., these talents can be inherited. Even parents' outstanding talents in certain magical abilities are often passed down to them. Showed in children.

However, the appearance of Leon Schneider and Reinhardt allowed Sean to see something deeper in the word bloodline.

The eight major families, the talent that can bear the magic power of guilt... According to various information, there may be more secrets hidden in the bloodline.

And maybe there is something hidden in my unknown bloodline...

However, so far, Sean has never seen any magic props or spells that can activate bloodlines or awaken talents. The system has not produced such rewards. Therefore, the research on bloodlines can only stop at thinking. stage.

Sean looked at his magic items again, and touched his head awkwardly. There were quite a lot of them.

However, related to his personality, the usage rate of magic items is not high. Sean has always used those reusable items with high cooling, but he rarely uses disposable items.

On the one hand, as a hamster-type player, he is used to saving things. On the other hand, it is Sean's own consideration. He cannot rely too much on external objects. If you are used to using certain disposable items, you will not be able to smoke them when you use them in the future. If so, that would be a huge blow to his own strength. At the same time, Sean also hopes that his own strength can continue to grow under various difficulties.

However, you must not save it, use it when you need it.

After reminding himself in his mind, Sean checked all the magic items again and silently decided on the usage scenarios and so on.

Look down.

Charms Talent: 8 (You already have the right path to become a powerful wizard)

Transfiguration talent: 10+1 (Everything in the world can change, you will become an unprecedented master of transfiguration!)

Potions Talent: 5 (You finally don’t have to be so scared when brewing potions. This talent is enough to make the Potions Professor smile at you occasionally. Note: Except for Severus Snape)

Magical animal affinity: 10+1 (born as a great Dru Yin - do you really not consider 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!)

The last lottery gave Sean a freely allocable talent point. He chose to add it to Transfiguration. As he expected, after the talent point exceeded 10, adding one more point would not cause too huge a problem. Change, so obviously, 10, this is a very critical number in talent.

Sean suspected that perhaps in the systematic evaluation, 10 was the peak of an ordinary wizard's talent, so there would be huge changes after the talent point reached 10, such as his magical animal affinity and transfiguration. Reaching 10 points made a huge difference for Sean.

However, the change from 10 to 11 is not as exaggerated as that from 9 to 10.

It seems that if I get points to allocate again in the future, I should first consider adding 10 to other talents. The closest one now is obviously Charms...

As for the rest, after looking at his rune talent, Sean rubbed his temples with a headache.

Didn't I say that most ordinary people are around 5? I don't have an IQ defect, so why is it 0... If I hadn't received the reward, I would still be a duck egg now.

Even so, this 2 looks quite dazzling.

Although the talent of ancient runes did not greatly hinder the growth of Sean's strength, it still had an impact.

He now relies on the "Sigh of the Ancient One" that cools down once a month to complete his rune learning, and this is how he can keep up with the progress.

Moreover, Sean always feels it is strange. He can accept it if it is lower, but 0 is too weird.

After gradually being exposed to more magical mysteries, Sean had an intuition that his talent in ancient runes might not be innate...

The key is that in the known wizarding world, there are no magic spells or magic items that increase talent. What is even more cruel is that in the idealistic miracle magic, hard work can make up for the difference between those with poor talent and those with ordinary talent. However, The difference between one and top talents cannot be summed up by hard work making up for one's shortcomings.

And his system has not produced many items that can increase talents. Except for a few points that can be freely distributed, other items that increase talents are derived from magic sets and cannot be freely distributed.

Shawn scratched his head in distress, and continued to look down.

In the spell proficiency column below, my ordinary spells are already very close to level three proficiency.

There is a system in place, and Sean can clearly see the increase in proficiency. This feeling that hard work will be rewarded fascinates Sean.

It has been several years since he entered the magical world, and he has never given up on practicing magic spells.

Now, most of the Shauns can cast spells silently very skillfully. Of course, casting spells silently will lose part of the power of the spells, which Dumbledore cannot avoid.

Moreover, according to Sean's estimation, after he officially enters sixth grade, he will be able to skillfully cast all commonly used magic spells silently and without a wand - he can barely do it now, but the effect is not good enough.

When using the wand, Sean can fully utilize his huge magic source, and it has the effect of Obscurus assistance. Silent casting without a wand will undoubtedly give up many advantages, but this method is faster and more concealed, and can achieve unexpected effects. He needs to weigh the pros and cons himself in actual combat.

Below is a spell that Sean has barely practiced.

dark magic.

Soul-stealing curse (black magic) lv3: proficiency 78500/100000

Cruciatus Curse (Black Magic) lv3: Proficiency 96500/100000

Death Curse (Black Magic) lv3: Proficiency 100000/100000

Severe Fire Curse (Black Magic) lv3: Proficiency 46000/70000

Corpse Reappearance (Black Magic) lv3: Proficiency 10000/10000

Inferi Curse (Black Magic) lv3: Proficiency 30000/30000

Boiling Blood Curse (Black Magic) lv3: Proficiency 33000/50000

…

Sean: "..."

Dark Arts was the one he was most gifted in when he first saw the panel, and he apparently did "very well" with it.

He hardly needs to practice, and his proficiency in these black magic will increase by itself. After reaching the third level of proficiency, even if he takes a look at other people's black magic, his proficiency will increase significantly.

You know, even with a talent of 10+1 in Transfiguration, Sean can only improve it by carefully watching the demonstrations of Transfiguration masters like Professor McGonagall, in addition to practicing on his own.

As for black magic, even if it's a small, shapeless spell cast by a fourth- or fifth-grade student, Sean can count it by dozens at a glance.

Like the Fire Curse, Sean has the blessing of magic flames. The Fire Curse is of no use to him, so he has rarely used it after learning it, but his current proficiency is also amazing.

As for Sean...

Well, Expelliarmus is indeed not as skilled as Avada Kedavra right now...

He shook his head and no longer paid attention to black magic. Anyway, Sean didn't need to worry about increasing his proficiency with this thing. Whether to use it, when to use it, and how to use it were the aspects that needed to be measured by him.

Mature spells should be practiced by oneself, right?

After glancing at his own dashboard, Sean finally stopped at points.

Usually, he would conduct a wave of draws at the beginning of the new semester. On the one hand, the scattered draws basically did not get any good things. On the other hand, consuming a large number of points at one time would indeed give people a great pleasure.

However, this time when fifth grade started, Sean did not conduct a lottery.

Because of the elixir of happiness.

In the first half of the second grade, Sean took the Felixir on his birthday, November 30th, and then conducted a lottery, and the final reward was quite huge.

According to the instructions Lily gave herself, the minimum interval between taking Fuling Elixir was five years, which meant that Sean could wait until the middle of the first half of the sixth grade before taking Fuling Elixir again.

Now, that time is just a few months away.

He often went to Godric's Hollow during the summer vacation last year, and he also asked Lily once if the time for taking the Felixir could be shortened.

Lily finally gave an affirmative answer. The interval between using the Felixir was also related to the wizard himself. The stronger the wizard, the smaller the side effects of over-taking the Felixir. Of course, even Dumbledore couldn't do it all at once. One bottle every two years.

Therefore, Sean decided that before the final game of the Goblet of Fire and before Grindelwald merged into one, he would take the elixir and draw a lottery, hoping to get more good luck.

For this reason, Sean also consulted a lot of information, and he found that the Fortune Elixir did not simply bring good luck.

This magical potion is very difficult to describe. Some people think it is a placebo, others think it is a miracle - after all, no one can say anything about luck.

But Sean felt that there were some secrets hidden in the elixir that no one had discovered.
