Chapter 4089 4091 [Earth Escape Technique]
After Xiang Nan finished his work, he was about to slip away, but he heard footsteps outside the door.
He used his perspective eyes to see Filch coming back with a mop and a wooden bucket.
Xiang Nan was surprised to see this.
He thought Filch would take an hour to clean up, which would be plenty of time for him.
Unexpectedly, he came back so soon.
Xiang Nan had no time to leave, so he could only use the "Earth Escape Technique". He saw his body slowly sinking to the ground, as if the ground under his feet had turned into thick mud.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..." Xiang Nan was anxious.
However, the "Earth Escape Technique" is one of the most profound Taoism in the earth-based Taoism. He did not master it very well, so he could only sink slowly.
At this time, there was a click outside the door. It was Filch using the key to unlock it. At this time, Xiang Nan had just sunk halfway, and half of his body was exposed outside.
"Oops~" Xiang Nan cursed inwardly when he saw this, and could only cast another "Phantom Body Spell" on himself.
In the magical world of "Harry Potter", apart from the invisibility cloak inherited from the Potter family, no other spells or invisibility cloaks can make people truly invisible.
Because in the magical world, there is no real "invisibility spell", only the "Disillusionment Spell", which can make people blend into the environment and not be easily discovered.
And the travel cloak made of the fur of invisible beasts can also make people invisible, but the magic effect will gradually dissipate over time, and the invisibility effect will be greatly reduced.
It is for this reason that the invisibility cloak held by Harry Potter is qualified to be called the "Deathly Hallows".
...
Just after the Disillusionment Spell was cast, there was a clang, and the door was pushed open.
Filch walked in with a mop and a bucket.
"These guys are so hateful... Haven't you thought about... How much trouble will it cause me?" He complained as he entered the door, "Ink, fireworks, and mud... These guys are so bad... I want to punish them. Don't you think so, Mrs. Norris..."
Xiang Nan held his breath and concentrated, motionless, trying to avoid being discovered by Filch.
Because once he finds out, he will definitely tell the school. At that time, the consequences of "stealing" alone will be disastrous.
And Filch really didn't notice Xiang Nan. He put down the mop and bucket, then picked up the feather pen and parchment and began to take notes, "I must find out who spilled the ink, and I must punish him well~"
Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"Meow, meow, meow~" At this moment, Mrs. Norris seemed to have noticed it and looked at Xiang Nan.
"Fuck~" Xiang Nan was shocked when he saw it.
Knowing that this cat is quite smart, it will notice it immediately whenever a student violates the school rules, and it seems to be in tune with Filch. Whenever it sees a student breaking the rules, it will immediately call Filch to punish the student.
Therefore, seeing Mrs. Norris staring at him, Xiang Nan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and prayed secretly, "Don't worry, don't find me..."
But what you fear will come true. Mrs. Norris seemed to have really noticed Xiang Nan and slowly approached him.
Even though Xiang Nan had a profound cultivation and was very good at meditation, he almost broke through the defense at this time. "This damn cat is really smart. Get away, get away, don't get close to me~"
Mrs. Loris didn't hear Xiang Nan's voice, and still slowly approached him, and really bumped into Xiang Nan's head.
"Meow~Meow~Meow~" Mrs. Loris was also startled, and then she yelled at Filch.
"What's wrong, dear, did you find anything?" Filch looked up and asked in confusion.
Mrs. Loris immediately raised a cat paw and pointed it at Xiang Nan.
Filch stood up quickly and touched Xiang Nan's direction. Fortunately, at this moment, Xiang Nan just sank into the ground.
"There's nothing, dear, did you see it wrong?" Filch grabbed a few times, but didn't catch anything, and couldn't help looking at Mrs. Loris in confusion.
Mrs. Loris also grabbed a few times, but didn't catch Xiang Nan, and couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
"Okay, I understand. So many things happen in school every day. So many brats break the school rules. It's really tiring to rely on the two of us to maintain order." Filch picked it up and said, "It's okay. I'll feed you more dried fish at night~"
"Meow~" Mrs. Norris shouted happily.
"You like fish, right? I know~" Filch hugged her intimately.
Xiang Nan looked down and felt sick.
After he went underground, he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire. Although he could move, he had to exert a lot of effort, which was far less comfortable than being in the air.
Moreover, he could vaguely see things within three feet (about one meter) around him, but it was pitch black beyond that.
This was mainly because his "Earth Escape Technique" was not yet up to standard. According to the "True Explanation of the Five Elements Dao Method", when the "Earth Escape Technique" is cultivated to a high level, it can go back and forth underground, shuttle freely, and move at will...
Xiang Nan is obviously still a long way from this level.
But he had just performed the "Escape Spell", so it was normal that he was not proficient. In the future, he would practice slowly and naturally become proficient. Just like Harry Potter practicing the summoning spell, he could only summon flies at first, but later even Hagrid could be attracted by him.
Xiang Nan then swam out of Filch's office as hard as he could dive.
Although it was only a few steps, it took him a lot of effort. Therefore, not long after leaving his office, Xiang Nan slowly rose up, feeling exhausted and exhausted.
However, this experience also benefited him a lot.
Although he had learned "Escape from the Earth" before, he had not used it much.
Because he was fascinated by "Sword Flying" at that time. After all, flying with a sword is what everyone who has a dream of being a fairy hero yearns for. And "Escape from the Earth" is to drill into the ground, like a mouse, which is not as beautiful as "Sword Flying".
But now that he has come to Hogwarts, flying is no longer a difficult thing. There is a flying class once a week, and the flying broom can be ridden at will.
Nowadays, even the dumbest children can ride a flying broom all over the sky. In comparison, "Escape from the Earth" is more cost-effective.
Because it allows Xiang Nan to freely enter and exit many places, such as the forbidden book area of the library, the offices of professors, the common rooms of various colleges, and even the principal's office.
Of course, Xiang Nan is still not sure whether he can enter or exit, and whether he will encounter any obstacles.
After all, Hogwarts was founded by four great wizards. Not only are there a lot of spells set up outside the castle, hiding the entire castle, making Muggles mistakenly think it is a ruin.
And there are also many protective magics set up inside the castle. For example, you can't Apparate in the castle, you can't use Floo powder or door keys; the Room of Requirement can change in a thousand ways to meet the needs of users; you must say the password to enter the principal's office...
So Xiang Nan has to try slowly.
