Chapter 510? Spell Sequencing (Modified, Sincere Thanks to the Leader, King Rong)
Durmstrang's big ship galloped quickly on the sea, it crossed the ocean like a swallow across the sky, like the Hogwarts Express across the field, with amazing speed. Hour after hour the boat crept along as if on a lake. Stars rose in the east, bright and charming in the dark night sky.
The wizards who survived the catastrophe did not want to go back to sleep in the cabin and gathered on the deck. They talked all the way into the night, lingering over the side of the boat, watching the dancing of the brilliant foam from the prow.
It's a pity that such peace and tranquility only lasted until noon of the next day - the crew found Novak Monte's twisted and stiff body in the airtight cabin at the bottom.
Allen is not interested in watching a dead person. He and Luna spent an afternoon on the deck researching the new functions of the wand, and now the sea scenery at dusk is amazing. The sunset behind the ship is blood red and red, and the sky is even more empty. Obviously, he didn't want to let the young master of the Monte family ruin his good mood at the moment.
But the movement from a distance made Allen narrow his eyes, and he saw three dark shadows galloping towards the direction of the big ship in the far sky beyond the starboard bow—a wizard riding a broom.
Just as Allen was investigating carefully, the three shadows suddenly disappeared and appeared on the deck in an instant.
The leader was a fat and strong young man. He walked towards Cosby with strong steps and hugged him: "Good afternoon Cosby, we received your message saying that a dead body was found, so Come to investigate. Please forgive us for taking so long to find you, it is not easy to locate you who are moving fast at sea."
"Sergey, it's good that you Aurors can come over here. I don't understand why the young master of the Monte family appeared on our boat and died in the closed cabin for no apparent reason..." Cosby complained While leading the Aurors to the bottom cabin.
When the three Aurors appeared on the deck again, Sergei Ivanovich Sidorov frowned. The scars on the body of Novak of the Monte family were undoubtedly the result of the North Sea monster. It is a monster, but it happens to be in an airtight cabin that has not been destroyed. And these British exchange students actually encountered the attack of the North Sea giant monster, and obviously this period should not have the North Sea monster in the sea. The bait made by the goblin larva, as well as the prohibition of apparation and the Firebolt with Novak's name engraved on it, all pointed the finger at the young master of the Monte family who shouldn't have appeared on the ship. But the key problem is that the biggest suspect who lured the Kraken to attack the ship was the only dead person in this incident.
After more detailed questioning of the crew members, Gal was even more troubled. After knowing that Alan Harris was also on this ship and had used the spell to summon the tentacle of the North Sea monster in the battle just now, he was probably sure. The approximate course of the incident-this was a bloody struggle between the upper-class pure-blood families, and the young master of the Monte family was obviously killed by the young master of the Harris family from England. But when he tried to approach Alan Harris for questioning, the adult wizards on the other side who made him feel like he was traveling with him actually actually held positions in the British Ministry of Magic. They claimed to suspect that the attack and the murder of the young master of the Mount family was a coherent conspiracy, after the murder of the entire ship failed, using the same spell that Alan Harris used to save everyone. The young master of the Monte family wanted to put the blame on him, and because the accident happened at the junction, according to the routine, in theory, they had to negotiate with the British Ministry of Magic before finally agreeing on which side should take over the murder case. Finally, I have to mention that the other party also threatened them, saying that they had reported the matter to the British Ministry of Magic, and Alan Harris' father, who was the Deputy Minister of Magic, would personally intervene in the matter.
What is even more troublesome is the exchange students from Hogwarts in the United Kingdom after their lives were threatened on the ship.
After they knew that this was a premeditated attack, they clamored to use their family power in the UK to ask them for an explanation, and those captains and sailors who were saved by Alan Harris obviously couldn't ask any substance. on something. Without consulting with the British Ministry of Magic and without conclusive evidence, Garr could not use coercive means to deal with the astonishingly powerful purebloods behind them like some Muggle wizards with no background. But the current situation is that there is no coercive means and it is obviously impossible to obtain decisive evidence. This incident was originally a struggle for power among these families. If you occupy the team, I am afraid that you will be strangled until there is not even a scum left.
Thinking of this, Gal couldn't help but shudder, he found that he had put himself in an embarrassing situation in this unlucky mission. So he took a deep breath and told his men to leave with the corpse. He intends to "truthfully" report this incident to his superiors, and he can only ignore the speculations without evidence. Let the people above worry about this problem, it's not something an ordinary Auror like him can handle.
What kind of headaches the Aurors and Kobis are having are out of Alan's consideration. At present, his attention is attracted by his magic wand that has completed this growth. After absorbing the huge soul of the giant monster of the North Sea, unlike before, the magic wand, which was originally only a tool for storing souls, also filled its stomach in this feast of souls.
Allen looked at his wand with fiery eyes as if looking at the most magnificent treasure in the world. After some detection, Allen was able to determine that what his wand obtained was a long-lost special ability recorded in the book in the tower, a special skill called spell sequencing. It is said that records can be traced back to the wizard pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
Although Ravenclaw himself seems to have learned this technique, since its principles cannot be systematically sorted out and recorded in books or magical illusions like modern magic, there are only a few details about this skill in the tower. There are only a few words in the online record - after selecting the spells that need to be sequenced, the wand can store a spell, and then the wizard can release the sequenced spell power at any time, even after casting the spell normally. Casting the spell at the same time is like casting two spells at the same time. Although this ability can only store one spell at a time, and once it is activated, the spell must be stored again to use this ability again, but the potential contained in it is enough to make Allen ecstatic, which will have a great impact on his life. Combat ability brings qualitative improvement.
"At critical moments, if the magic spells are properly combined, unexpected effects can be achieved." Allen couldn't help playing with the wand and praising its new ability. For example, when Allen is dealing with an enemy hiding behind the armored curse shield wall, he can use the spell stop to dissolve the shield wall on the one hand, and then use the Avada Kedavra curse stored in the wand to hit the enemy within an almost negligible time difference ; Or send two bolts of lightning at a time to target different enemies. The specific effect depends on what kind of magic spell Allen has stored to achieve what kind of effect to match.
Luna, who was sitting and eating, swallowed what was in her mouth, tilted her head and raised her wand to look at it: "Alan, we can feel the working principle of spell sequencing when we continue to practice this new ability , maybe this allows us to master this ability ourselves? I mean, the history of human beings using magic is much earlier than the history of magic wands, even if it can bring us convenience when casting spells in this world, But maybe we shouldn't be relying more and more on it?"
Ellen raised her head and glanced at Luna's plate, perhaps because she didn't want to touch the seafood at all because of the previous vomiting, but the pudding was still as good as her appetite, and a lot was eaten.
