The Ultimate Secret of Evolution! The Truth Deep Inside Gringotts! Chapter 4: Strange Pass
Chapter 4 A strange pass
All the contractors probably knew Hagrid's identity and that he was an extremely important plot character, so they all stood up and sat down at the table next to Hagrid. Hagrid raised his fingers as thick as carrots, knocked on the table, and cleared his throat:
"Gentlemen, you only need to have enough strength to pass my assessment. In addition, Mr. Filch, the administrator of Hogwarts, is having a headache for the upcoming group of energetic and ubiquitous students. It just so happens that his cat, Mrs. Alice, is also sick, so some temporary employees with more flexible legs will be recruited to make Hogwarts more orderly. "Now, let's start testing."
After finishing speaking, Hagrid began to fumble inside his dusty oversized moleskin coat, muttering in his mouth:
"It's strange. I obviously borrowed that thing from Bloody Barro?"
But soon the half-giant's expression relaxed. The palm that Hagrid took out from his pocket was holding another hand. To be precise, it was a translucent and slightly light blue palm. It was very... There was a ghostly feeling, and it reached the wrist level after Hagrid let go of the transparent palm. It floated directly in the air, moving its fingers from time to time.
Hagrid breathed out a sigh of relief, raised his glass and shook it, and then said to the contractor:
"Grasp this palm and press it to the table, then you've passed the interview."
Everyone was stunned, but the translucent severed palm floating in the air arrogantly pointed its fingers at the contractors, making an internationally recognized provocation.
A contractor suddenly stood up and said loudly:
"I come!"
The contractor was probably very confident in his own strength. He walked to the table, grabbed the ghost palm and began to exert force. It was obvious that the ghost palm was quickly pressed downwards. posted on the desktop. Hagrid smiled and clapped, nodded and said:
"You passed."
Jack the Ripper whispered to Fang Senyan:
"This guy is Fante. It is said that his peak strength can be as high as 28 points. He uses a two-handed heavy sword and has strong explosive power. The specific ability is unknown."
At this time, a contractor stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:
"Mr. Hagrid, I am very interested in Mr. Filch's work. How can I test it?"
Hagrid turned his head and whistled to the bartender Nick:
"Nick, make some space for me."
The bartender Nick was wiping the wine glass. Hearing this, he picked up the empty glass and knocked it on the wine table. Suddenly, the unoccupied tables and stools in the middle of the bar slid to both sides, revealing a neat and narrow open space about ten meters long. , obviously this bartender is definitely not an ordinary person. Hagrid pointed to the empty tunnel and said:
"Run from one end of the open space to the other as fast as possible. If the time passes, you will pass the test."
Since this contractor dared to stand up, he naturally had something to rely on and passed the test smoothly.
After adding equipment, Fang Senyan's strength reached 13 points, while his agility was only 10 points. He naturally chose to compete with that ghost palm. After holding the palm, he suddenly felt a cold feeling coming over him, and his whole body trembled slightly. However, this strange feeling quickly disappeared, and Sheyan began to exert force to push down the ghost's palm. However, the resistance was obviously very strong, and it took a lot of effort to push it down a little. Although it took a lot of time, Sheyan still passed the test smoothly.
Jack the Ripper did not choose to wrestle with the ghost's hand, but went to the side to conduct a running test. It seemed that he should be the kind of person with high agility, but his results were not very good, barely reaching It's just a passing threshold, not even excellent.
After Hagrid's selection was over, there were only three remaining contractors. Sheyan can now almost deduce that the three attributes of strength, agility, and spirit of these three people should be below ten points, so they cannot pass the test. So in other words, their personal attributes should be those that favor charm, intelligence, physical strength, and perception.
As far as Sheyan currently knows, there are two possibilities for the evolution of people with similar attributes: one is to be a pure contractor with super physical strength and strong survivability, and the other is to rely on summoned creatures And the Summoner of existence. For a special group like them, I believe that the nightmare space will also have arrangements.
Sure enough, after Hagrid counted the number of people, he turned to these three people and said:
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry that you failed to meet my requirements. But I think you still have some merits. The Hogwarts train station currently lacks a few manpower. If you are interested, you can give it a try or I You can ask dear Nick to find you a job in Diagon Alley."
"Diagon Alley!" Sheyan's heart suddenly moved when he heard this word. In this world, Diagon Alley is the largest trading market for wizards. All kinds of unheard of magic items and creatures can be purchased there. The largest goblin bank, Guling Pavilion, is also located there. There is no doubt that this should be a compensation for the contractors who gave up the main mission. Although they cannot enter Hogwarts Academy, they can also go to Diagon Alley, a place full of opportunities, to start a new adventure.
The remaining three contractors looked at each other. Two of them should be members of the team and chose to go to the train station, but the other contractor chose to work in Diagon Alley. Hagrid drank the remaining wine in the cup, then wiped his beard and said to Fang Senyan and the others:
"Let's go. Hogwarts will have to welcome a large number of students in a few days, Nick! Can I use the fireplace upstairs?"
Nick was concentrating on mixing a cocktail, and said without raising his head:
"Hagrid, be careful that the people from the Ministry of Magic will cause trouble for you."
Hagrid shrugged nonchalantly and said:
"Time is tight. This is a special permission from Dumbledore. You don't know how bad the situation in Hogwarts is now. It's like a pot of overturned cream of mushroom soup. You should know that there will be a new student with a special identity enrolled this year, which makes that person start to move again. Okay, guys, keep up, there is a lot of work that needs you to complete urgently. Of course, the reward we give is also quite considerable."
The group walked to the second floor of the bar and immediately filled a small room. Hagrid grabbed a handful of powder from the jar on the left side of the fireplace. The powder poured down from the gap between his fingers like glittering dust, and then sprinkled this kind of powder called Floo powder on the fireplace next to him.
With a loud "bang", the flame in the fireplace rose rapidly, but the people who were close to it strangely did not feel the temperature. The color of the flame changed rapidly with the tumbling, and finally turned into a green color. Hagrid bent down with difficulty, turned around and said seriously:
"The duration of Floo powder is only three minutes. If anyone is late, then I can only regretfully inform you that you are unemployed again."
Then Hagrid got into the fireplace, and his huge body quickly disappeared in the flames. The remaining contractors looked at each other, and it was still Fant who stood up first, looked around fiercely, and called the people around him: "Guys, let's go." Then he got into the fireplace first.
Since someone took the lead, the next people who followed in followed one after another. Fang Senyan was not in a hurry to compete with others, and was the last one to enter the fireplace. When the green flames came towards him, he subconsciously shrank, but felt as if a warm wind was blowing across his face, and then everything in front of him was pitch black. A few seconds later, a little light appeared in front of him, and the light was rapidly enlarging, just like a train passing through a dark tunnel and rapidly approaching a sunny exit.
After the light became the exit, Fang Senyan suddenly felt a strong push from behind, sending him out. He staggered forward a few steps and stood still. Looking back, the place he had just been in was just a fireplace that looked quite old. Now he was in a wooden cottage with a Scottish style. All the furnishings inside were made of logs, exuding a faint fragrance of resin. After walking out of the cottage, he could see that its top was painted red, like wearing a red cap.
There were more than ten similar cottages here, forming a small town with a railway in the center of the town winding straight into the distance. Looking at this scene, Fang Senyan suddenly seemed to realize something, and always felt a sense of déjà vu. This doubt was immediately cleared up when he turned around! It turned out that in the sunset, in the evening glow, there was a vast lake not far away. On the shore of the lake, there was a towering castle that only appeared in fairy tales and dreams. It was magnificent!
It turned out that in this short moment, I had come from the bustling London to the side of Hogwarts College! And looking at the surrounding environment, it was Hogwarts Station, the terminal of London's Platform 9 and 3/4!
At this time, there was another voice in the distance, and Hagrid could be seen walking out side by side with a man in a linen shirt. The two contractors who were introduced to the train station stood aside, and it seemed that they were handing over. Hagrid waved to the man, then turned around and shouted:
"Everyone come here, hurry up, we still have to cross the Black Lake. We must try to arrive before dark."
