Chapter 33 Silverfish
[Dark Lord's Original Scarf]
On the way to the library, Rove was still reminiscing about this slightly harsh phrase.
The point is not the scarf, let alone the original taste, but the Dark Lord.
The product of the devil must be a high-quality product, since it is Voldemort's scarf, of course it cannot be ordinary.
Rove glanced at the system introduction. This is a magic item that can block the breath and effectively isolate the wizard from detection.
For example, black magic detectors such as the looking glass, if there are suspicious people around, it will light up and rotate, and the magic on the scarf can be perfectly covered to prevent the looking glass from triggering.
This is an item that can be combined with the Illusion Charm or the Invisibility Cloak. After all, many wizards can see through the Invisibility Cloak and the Illusion Charm, and a scarf can effectively reduce the possibility of being discovered.
No wonder the Dark Lord has been hiding on the back of Quirrell's head. So many outstanding wizards in Hogwarts have not noticed it. It turns out that it is because of the scarf.
Sure enough, the most powerful baby often only needs the simplest form.
Rove wanted the scarf very much, it was still the original Dark Lord flavor, it must be very exciting to use.
However, according to the requirements of the mission, Quirrell needs to untie the scarf to let him feel the warmth of the sun, which is a very difficult thing.
Quirrell is destined not to untie the scarf at will, so he has to use unconventional means, and unconventional means may provoke the Dark Lord.
To tease a venomous snake, no matter how skilled you are at playing with snakes, there is a risk of being bitten.
Fortunately, Voldemort is definitely at the weakest and deceptive stage now. His goal is the Sorcerer's Stone, and he will not expose himself easily.
In the original time and space, the Weasley twins once held a snowball and chased Quirrell on the back of the head and smashed it.
The snake fell to Pingyang and was bullied by the lion, but that's all!
This wave is capable! !
Compared with the Dark Lord's original scarf, Rove is also very concerned about the magic of [Shapechanger]. After class, he plunges headlong into the library.
The Hogwarts library is located on the second floor of the castle. Although it does not occupy a large area, it has a large collection of books, including many rare ancient books that are not found in other places.
Most of these treasures come from Ravenclaw's private collection. After the school was built, she donated it... It was also the original collection of the library.
These include the astrology left by Gudea in Sumer, the clay tablet witchcraft in Assyria, and the necromancy magic handwritten on papyrus by the ancient Egyptian priest Maneda...
The Hogwarts library is also a symbol of Hogwarts spreading knowledge and wisdom. When you enter this kind of place, you can't help but want to hold your breath, and dare not whisper or mischievous.
Of course, Mrs. Pince, the librarian, was also an important reason for quieting the little wizards.
She was a curmudgeonly thin woman who resembled a malnourished vulture, and who looked even more dangerous with a duster in her hand.
Rove glanced at it deliberately, and found that the duster she was using to clean up the dust was not tied with chicken feathers, but unicorn feathers!
This kind of duster can clean up dust and remove graffiti on books, and it is even more effective against restless books that try to attack.
Hogwarts is full of treasures. Any inconspicuous gadget may be a good-looking magic item, depending on whether you have a pair of eyes that find beauty.
As a first-year freshman, to enter the library, you need to read the library guide, and you are not allowed to make noise, fight, or secretly take books away...
There are many rules, there are a total of 108 rules, if any one is violated, college points will be deducted. If it is too serious, you may be blacklisted and banned from the library forever.
On the permanent ban list nailed to the wall, Rove unexpectedly found a student named Carlo Scamander, who once brought a fire dragon in and almost burned the library down, and was banned for life.
Well, Rove had seen this name in the family tree, and it was his great-uncle level according to his seniority... Later this guy was also expelled from Hufflepuff.
No wonder Mrs. Pince has been staring at Rove since she knew Rove's surname. The boy thought he was Newt's little fan like Professor Sprout...
Fortunately, I didn't try to get close, otherwise I would just get my own milk!
After Rove entered the library, he quickly found a "Magic Dictionary" on the bookshelf, and retrieved the entry of "Shapechanger" in the dictionary.
A skinchanger is a form of magic capable of invading an animal's consciousness and controlling its behavior.
From the effect point of view, it is very similar to Animagus, which allows the wizard to move around with the vision of animals.
But the Animagus is Transfiguration, turning himself into an animal, while the Easy Walker is the consciousness sneaking into the animal's body to control it... The magic mechanism is very different.
Compared with Animagus, which can only transform into one kind of animal, Easywalker can invade more animals, making it even more difficult to guard against.
But the magic of the skinchanger has many disadvantages. Once the wizard's consciousness cannot overcome animals, it will have an adverse effect on the wizard himself.
If a skinchanger invades an animal's consciousness and the animal is killed, it will also cause extremely serious damage to the spirit of the wizard. In severe cases, it will directly cause brain death.
Rove's talent for transfiguration was mediocre. He felt that it might be difficult for him to learn Animagus, but the magic of shapechanger was very suitable for him.
Of course, the premise is to complete the task of the system.
The young man was concentrating on flipping through the dictionary. Next to some words in the book, he saw a pattern of a magical animal. The animal had silver-gray thin scales and nine tail whiskers at the end of its abdomen, like a fish.
Rove frowned. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and saw that the pattern suddenly seemed to come alive, moving swiftly through the gaps between the lines, and finally got out of the book.
Literally "drill", that's not a picture, but a living magical creature!
There was a sudden "ding" in Rove's brain.
[A domestic silverfish has been detected, triggering side missions:
Catching silverfish, bonus mana:
【Word Devourer】
[You can eat the text in the book and convert it into memory and store it in the brain]
Rove had heard Newt mention silverfish before, an extremely rare magical creature that lived in a similar way to a salamander.
Salamanders can only live in flames, and silverfish can only live in books. They feed on the magic in words and can swallow them.
Luo Fu hurriedly chased after it, but the silverfish was very fast. It swished away, sprinting all over the bookshelves, passing through the books continuously.
The silverfish seemed to be afraid that Rove would not be able to keep up with it, so it stopped at intervals, looked back at the boy, and flicked its tail at him, extremely arrogant and provocative!
Rove chased it all the way, and finally the silverfish swaggered into the restricted area.
Just as Rove was about to step in, he heard a cold voice behind him.
"What are you looking for, kid?!"
"I didn't find anything, I just looked around." Rove withdrew his feet, and looked at Mrs. Pince who was carrying a unicorn duster "honestly".
But the camouflage of "honest man" doesn't work for Mrs. Pince, especially since the person in front of her is a Scamander, and her surname alone is enough to make her vigilant.
"Do you know that the restricted area is in front of you?" Pinsifu frowned, lightly waved the duster, and pointed to a rope on the ground: "You can't cross without permission!"
"I don't know, ma'am." Rove quickly apologized: "I didn't mean it, it's my first day in the library."
"Then hurry up! Next time you are near the restricted area, I will kick you out of the library!"
Mrs. Pince, the librarian, swung the duster and drove Rove away.
The young man sighed. He turned his head and found that silverfish was lying on a thick book in the restricted area. It was basking in the sun and rolling over, enjoying itself.
The silverfish looked at him, and its silver eyes were full of strong sarcasm. It wagged its tail, as if saying:
Come in and catch me quickly!
Rove became furious, you wait, when I catch you, I have to stuff you into the Dark Lord's original scarf, and then into Snape's starched underwear...
Marinated!
