Chapter 255: Knowing shame and then being brave, working hard to become stronger
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lupin taught the young wizards how to properly deal with water monkeys.

This thing is different from a water ghost. A water ghost is a monster or a demon.

Some scholars also believe that it should be an undead monster. In short, the debate continues.

But the water monkey is not like that. It is a real magical animal. It is just a little wild and often attacks people in its territory and waters.

If someone swims in its territory, they are likely to be attacked.

Ted: I used to know a magical animal expert named Xiaoliang who was particularly good at dealing with water monkeys.

Lupin taught a number of other techniques, from drugs to simple rituals.

But in the end, we still have to return to magic, the Exorcism Spell!

Generally speaking, the Exorcism Spell is the best choice at times like this. It is simple, convenient and practical, and is very effective in self-protection.

There is a large category of repelling spells, ranging from repelling Muggles to repelling spiders to repelling water monsters to repelling flying monsters.

This is an important spell for wizards to protect themselves in the wild.

There are many types. In the past fifty years, three new exorcism spells have appeared. They are all practical, convenient, recognized by the public, and widely spread.

Of course, there are also some exorcism spells that are developed privately, but they are of limited use and only a few people know how to use them.

This kind of "private spell" is still very common in the wizarding world.

Since Lupin preferred practical lessons, the class was held by the Black Lake.

He trapped two water monkeys by the water and used them as targets for the little wizards.

In fact, many students failed in their first few attempts to cast this spell, which seemed very simple to Ted.

Even if you learn it temporarily, it will probably be difficult to perform it successfully when facing a very ferocious water monkey that ferociously jumps and screams like the monkeys in Mount Emei.

Too young and lack of experience.

This shows how precious the "Book of Adventure" left by Gryffindor is. It not only broadens one's horizons and allows one to see various monsters and enemies, but also increases combat experience and helps one overcome vulnerable periods. It also allows one to indirectly witness the ancient magic of Gryffindor's era!
There is even experience to be gained!
Yes, fighting in the Adventure Book does give you experience, but it's only one tenth of the reality.

This book would have been invaluable if it had been when Ted first started school.

But now, he needs too much experience to upgrade, and the benefits of "Book of Adventure" are better than nothing.

Of course, it may also be because the enemies in the first ten chapters are too weak, so one-tenth of the experience is not worth mentioning.

But with Gryffindor's level, the enemies in the middle and late stages are probably all at level 10, so you will naturally have a lot of experience by then, and you can kill them repeatedly!
Ted has already mastered the spell "Water monsters retreat". Looking at the little wizards who are still fighting passionately with the two water monkeys, he just watches the scenery boredly.

Because it was Friday afternoon, some grades had no classes, so many students took a walk, played, and dated by the Black Lake.

In the evening when the sun is setting and it is neither too cold nor too hot, young lovers are walking hand in hand on the lawn by the Black Lake under the setting sun... How beautiful!

and many more!

What’s going on with those two boys holding hands?

What? Britain?

Yes! I'm in the UK, so it's OK.

Before the get out of class ended, Ron suggested that everyone go to the kitchen to see what dishes were for today's dinner.

The other friends readily agreed. Often they could taste the new dishes developed by the elves in advance, which was very nice.
But Ted refused.

"You guys go ahead, I have something to do in the principal's office."

Seeing that Ted had no intention of explaining, the friends nodded.

Ten minutes later, Ted arrived at the principal's office.

He contacted Principal Deng in advance and learned the password.

"A pile of cockroaches and a donkey roll!"

That's right, this is the new slogan. It's a combination of Chinese and Western styles!

The gargoyle nodded and moved aside, revealing the stairs.

I stepped on the stairs and automatically ascended to the office. Dumbledore was already waiting behind his desk.

In a large plate with a diameter of 40 centimeters, a bunch of black cockroaches were crawling around randomly, but they couldn't crawl out of the porcelain plate.

There was also a small plate on the side with a few donkey rolls on it, which were even dipped in bean flour.

Old Deng really knows how to eat. He improved the kitchen menu himself and introduced fresh dishes from all over the world, which really made him great.

"Well, come and sit down. Ted, would you like some?" Old Dumbledore pointed to the pile of cockroaches crawling around.

Ted nodded, picked up a donkey roll and started eating.

Old Dumbledore was so patient, even though Ted had already said, "I have something very important to tell you."

In the end, he just tried to show off his calmness.

Ted didn't care, he ate and drank, and he didn't stop eating for five minutes. He even tried a few of the cockroach piles - although they looked disgusting, they were not bad to eat, because they were actually moving candies, and when you bite them, the inside is still candy.

Old Deng couldn't sit still anymore, after all, he was the one who was being taken advantage of for free.

"So, is there something wrong?"

Ted nodded. "Prophecy. In the divination class this afternoon, Professor Trelawney asked me to stay for a few words. When I was about to leave, I suddenly entered a psychic vision and she made a prediction."

Then, he imitated Trelawney's expression and voice again: "Darkness! Death! Is approaching! Stop him, stop him, he is coming!" To be honest, it was so similar!

Ted's voice could imitate any sound he had ever heard, including the human voice.

Coupled with that outstanding performance, Dumbledore felt that Trelawney was possessed by Ted.

However, he was the one who had personally experienced the prophecy and knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Do you think it could be him?" he asked.

"Tom?"

"Ah."

Ted thought for a moment and shook his head: "According to the intelligence, he should still be alive in the forest of Romania, and no one is approaching him."

"Darkness, Death, who could that be?" Dumbledore began to think about his old friend.

This prophecy is too vague and contains too little content. Without the time or the characters, it is really hard to guess.

Ted tapped the table lightly. "You haven't forgotten the Fire Land incident two months ago, have you?"

After all, Deng is a centenarian, and sometimes his thinking is rigid and not so flexible.

"You mean, from other worlds... But we can't take prophecies too seriously, or we'll get caught up in them."

……

"Ah! Failed again! Even Ted couldn't pass!" Neville looked desperate.

"It's too difficult! I can't do this question!" Ron sat on the ground with an embarrassed look on his face.

He dies again in The Book of Adventures.

Although it won't cause any harm, it's still scary because of the fear between life and death. It also consumes a lot of physical energy.

He took out a chicken leg and took a big bite to replenish his energy.

Adventure Chapter XII.

This time the small team was really stumped!
The previous adventure chapters either tested combat ability or wisdom.

Chapters that test your wisdom will block related memories.

This means that if you get information the first time you go in, you won't remember it the second time you go in. Once you enter the adventure, you won't be able to remember the relevant content.

This had already caused Ron and Neville enough trouble in Chapter 9.

The two of them got stuck for more than twenty times before they were finally forced to change their way of thinking and finally passed.

To be honest, that was a huge improvement. It was the first step for a wizard to move from immaturity to maturity.

And this Chapter 12 is actually a triple test of combat effectiveness, comprehensive ability and wisdom!

And it's not enough to just defeat the monsters, you also have to protect the villagers and collect resources so that they have enough food and fuel to survive the winter.

The monster is an ice monster led by an old winter wolf. Although it is not very powerful, it is very cunning.

Winter wolves are monsters that can only be found in very cold places. They have high IQs and some of them can even learn to speak.

Newt, a famous magical animal expert, once wrote in an article that he had met the smartest winter wolf in Northern Europe a few years ago. The wolf could speak English, German, Swedish and Giant!

Ted was sure that the intelligence of this winter wolf should be higher than that of Ron and Neville.

As the protagonist, you have to stop the winter wolves from invading the village in this adventure. You also have to collect supplies during their harassment to ensure that the villagers can survive the winter instead of freezing to death.

But in a snowstorm that lasted for more than half a month, the monsters led by the winter wolf and the villagers were in a life-and-death competition. The resources were only enough for one side to barely survive.

In this situation, the monsters started a guerrilla war, and in many cases they didn't care about their lives at all...

Ted also failed three times because too many villagers were killed or injured, or there was not enough supplies, so he couldn't pass the level.

As for Ron and Neville, they had been lured into traps and bitten to death by the old winter wolf three times.

Every time they were deceived, played with, and bitten to death by a wolf, they were very annoyed.

Like the twins, they are mostly not up to standard in terms of collecting supplies.

Hermione and Jerry were unable to protect the villagers well.

As for Harley, she often gets hot-headed and explodes in anger, rushing directly into the blizzard to chase the Winter Wolves, and finally falls into a snow pit and is beaten to death, or is lured into an ice crack and falls to her death.

Once, Harry fell into a crevasse and survived for three days before dying.

That ugly face! Malfoy saw it from a distance and turned around and ran away.

This setback was quite big and the friends were a bit upset.

Even Ron, after returning to the dormitory, was eating snacks while thinking about some magic that might be useful.

As the saying goes, you only regret not having read enough books when you need them, and the same goes for magic.

The adventure in this chapter really made them realize their many shortcomings.

Actually, Ted has a way to pass the level, but it’s pointless, so it’s better to let Gryffindor teach his friends a lesson.

However, the 16-year-old Gryffindor has already been able to do this. He performed two ancient magics during his adventure. Both their power and effect were quite amazing!
