Chapter 13 The Secret Hidden in the Forbidden Book Area

"Come on, sit down wherever you want, you don't have to be so formal."

Hagrid brought a plate of rock cakes to the table and sat down on the chair immediately. The wooden support frame made a creaking sound, which made Ivan and others look a little worried. Fortunately, the quality of the chairs was good. Still tenaciously supporting this weight that shouldn't be borne.

"Hagrid, this is Ron, and this is Hermione." After sitting down, Harry pointed to everyone and introduced Hagrid, but Ivan stood up before he could introduce them.

"Hello, Hagrid, my name is Ivan, nice to meet you!"

"Oh, me too." Hagrid stretched out his big hand and shook Ivan, but the difference in stature between the two made the handshake look a bit ridiculous.

The big dog Tooth in the room was wandering around Ron, and sometimes even pounced on him, making Ron drool all over his face.

Ron hid Scabbers in his pocket the moment Yaya pounced on him. Although he had never heard of dogs eating mice, Ron was always a little suspicious after his experiences in the past few days.

It was as if someone was deliberately plotting to kill his rat.

Next, Harry and Ron poured out their grievances to Hagrid, telling them what Snape had deliberately targeted them in class. Hermione frowned but had no intention of refuting.

Ivan did not join their discussion. Although Snape could not understand Harry and was very prejudiced against Gryffindor students, there was still no problem in teaching. The professor taught many potions. The recipes were all improved by Snape himself.

Especially when he unexpectedly gave him an excellent rating in the first potions class, which made Ivan unable to say anything he wanted to say.

Of course, it would be better if Snape could ask more questions during class.

"Gringotts Bank was stolen?" Just when Ivan was so bored that he wanted to test how hard Hagrid's cake rolls were, a newspaper next to the teapot immediately aroused Ivan's interest.

Harry and Ron, who were chatting, also stopped and came to the newspaper one after another. They saw it said that on the night of July 31st, a huge robbery occurred in Gringotts. The relevant people believed that some dark witches or The dark wizard had done it, and the goblins of Gringotts insisted that nothing was lost.

"It happened on July 31st." Harry suddenly shouted as if he remembered something, "Hagrid, I remember that day happened to be my birthday, and we also stayed there!"

"Really?" Hagrid said vaguely, not even daring to touch Harry directly with his eyes. The awkward topic turned to rock biscuits, and he warmly invited everyone to eat more.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were all so stupefied by the rock cake that was as hard as a brick that they almost broke their teeth, but they couldn't throw it away when they saw Hagrid's eager look on his face.

Ivan secretly soaked the rock cake in tea, trying to soften it a little, and reluctantly ate half of it.

When he returned, Hagrid was still extremely enthusiastic. He took a basket of rock biscuits and stuffed a lot of them into everyone's pockets, even though no one wanted them.

The four of them returned to the castle together, and then separated at the stairs. Harry and Ron returned to the dormitory together, while Ivan took the time to look for traces of the Room of Requirement in the castle.

Because in previous experiments, Ivan found that no matter how sufficient his knowledge reserve is, without actual combat experience, the growth of proficiency may stop.

The search continued until the morning of Tuesday of the second week, when Ivan found some traces on the eighth floor of the castle.

It was a wide corridor hung with many portraits, and at the end there was a tapestry of a troll beating Barnabas silly.

Ivan walked to the wall opposite the tapestry and concentrated on moving towards the required practice venue. After walking back and forth three times, a door appeared out of thin air on the originally flat wall.

The door extension was close to the wall without any gaps, as if it had been here before.

Ivan opened the door with a hint of excitement. After he entered, the door behind him closed automatically. Inside was a very large training venue. The hall was decorated brightly and transparently, and the left and right rows were filled with equipment. A dummy for practicing spells.

[Ding, I discovered the mysterious place called the Room of Requirement]

The voice in his head was what Ivan expected, but the fact that the exploration mission increased by a full three percentage points was something Ivan didn't expect.

You must know that the library that inherits knowledge only increases the progress by five points, which shows how important this place is.

"Split into pieces!" After Ivan warmed up a little, he waved his wand and practiced the magic spell he had learned.

The white light hit the dummy directly, and one arm of the dummy expanded and exploded with a "bang" sound. Wood chips were flying in the air, and Ivan restored it with a restoration spell.

In the next half hour, various colorful lights swept back and forth in the practice room,

Transformation Curse, Petrification Curse, Flying Curse, Lighting Curse

After nearly half a month of frantic study, Ivan has learned all the basic spells. Although the level is not high, they have all been upgraded to the first level, so they are not always working sometimes.

However, when he first tried his skills, Ivan soon discovered that the hit rate of his magic spell was a bit worrying. Fixed targets were fine, but if it was a moving target, he might not be able to hit even once after firing several shots.

Ivan also tried to redeem a student experience card during actual practice, and found that this kind of learning BUFF was also useful during actual practice.

The improvement of the brain's understanding ability and analysis speed allows Ivan to be faster and more accurate in the process of releasing the curse, and the hit rate is greatly improved. He can even predict the movement of distant targets and the trajectory of the curse's light. trace.

This means that although the level of the magic spell is the same, in the state of the experience card, Ivan's strength is much higher than usual.

"I have become dumber and stronger"

Ivan couldn't help but sigh as he exited the experience mode again. After each use, the decline in brain understanding always gave Ivan the feeling that he suddenly became stupid.

After practicing all morning, Ivan's brain was already groggy and his magic power was close to drying up. Considering the flying lesson in the afternoon, Ivan left the Room of Requirement after resting for a while and found an unknown route on the eighth floor. I walked through the secret passage and planned to go all the way back to the halls of Hogwarts.

As soon as Ivan stepped out of the secret passage, the long-lost system prompt sounded again.

[Ding, an unknown secret passage has been explored, and the progress of exploring Hogwarts has reached 40%.
