Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 333 Talent Card [Magic Conversion (Purple)]

"Ding~ Completed the mission: [Top Seven Tournament 8000: Forbidden Forest Escape (Red)], obtained experience points, and the card [Forbidden Forest (Red)]."

【Forbidden Forest (Red)】

Material Card

Place a Forbidden Forest.

Note: The Black Forest is forbidden. Do not enter the forest.

Another weird land card.

Ted looked at his card bag and found that he had already accumulated a lot of land cards.

This can form a small territory, right?

When can I use this thing? It's not useless, is it?
Before Ted could complain, a new system prompt came:

"Ding~ Triggering the task:

You have passed the second level. What awaits you is the cold and dark bottom of the lake, with all kinds of strange monsters. You will face many tests there until you rescue the imprisoned hostages! Come on, warriors!
Goal: Pass the third level and get first place in the third level score.

Reward: 12000 experience points, cards [Black Lake (Red)], [Murlochrinder (Blue)].

A series of tasks, each time the reward will increase. "

The mission reward experience has increased again, and even the cards have increased.

And Ted discovered a benefit - this system task seemed to be a kind of information prompt!

Now, the organizers of the competition have definitely determined the content of the next round of the competition, but they have not yet revealed it.

But Ted had already gotten the relevant information from the mission description—it should be about rescuing people in the Black Lake!

Ha, this is also considered cheating, right?

However, now is not the time to focus on that.

Ted looked at his experience pool.

After the Quiet World Cup, the daily experience feedback from Utopia began to gradually increase.

When the top seven competition started, the two-sided mirror terminals were already selling like hot cakes. The number of Utopia users increased more than tenfold!
Although most of these people play on the forum, only a few play magic games.

Some are too far away to provide experience or spiritual power even when playing games.

But even that small increase in players is a big number for Ted.

Now, the power of the mind is a bit too much.

How much is it? It’s already more than the amount in that underground negative emotion vault!

The reason why Ted wanted to open up the magic network of other countries was that there was too much mental power. There would be problems even if he didn't go out.

In addition to the power of the mind, the experience gained made Ted feel extremely happy!

It’s better to harvest leeks! It’s much faster than working hard to kill monsters!
The last time Ted had the chance to do some serious underground work in Paris, he thought it was a rare opportunity in years.

Who would have thought that no matter how hard Xiangzi pulled the rickshaw, he could not earn as much as the people collecting rent from the rickshaw rental company!
Ted is experienced enough to be promoted.

Experience pool: 75456 points.

To upgrade a wizard from level 11 to level 12, 66000 experience points are required.

Talent reduction is 10% (6600 points), only 59400 experience points are needed!
"System, upgrade the wizard profession!"

"Ding~ Your wizard class has been upgraded to level 12. You have gained 1 attribute point and 1 skill point."

1 point of talent is added to the spiritual attribute - 21 points of spirit (naked).

Add 1 skill point to magic penetration - magic penetration level 4.

The spiritual attribute of 21 points made Ted's spiritual power like water flow, starting to manifest substance and change form at will. Naturally, he developed the ability of telekinesis.

The level 4 magic penetration is enough for Ted to pose a huge threat to some enemies with high magic resistance.

"Ding~ Your wizard class has been upgraded to level 12. You have obtained a talent extraction."

In my mind, three cards are arranged in order.

The first card has a purple border and shows a hand with energy condensing into a stone.

[Psychic Matter (Purple)]

Talent card

Transforms psionic energy into materials or equipment with special properties and abilities. Duration depends on consumption.

Note: Creating permanent psychic equipment will permanently consume a portion of your psychic energy.

The second card also has a purple border, and the picture shows a ball of liquid turning into a piece of gold.

【Material Transformation (Purple)】

Talent card

You can freely transform the shape, form and properties of matter. From now on, the material world is at your disposal, and the only difference is the amount of consumption.

Note: There will inevitably be consumption in conversion, the only difference is who pays for it.

The third card also has a purple border, and the picture shows a ball of black magic turning into light green.

【Magic Conversion (Purple)】

Talent card

It allows you to freely transform the properties of magic power, and you will no longer be restricted by the magic environment. Magic power is as docile as a baby in your hands.

Note: Those who are good at water are prone to drowning, and those who play with fire are prone to burn. If the magic power of transformation cannot be controlled, it will become a death warrant.

Looking at the three talent cards, Ted fell into deep thought.

All three cards are of purple quality, which is rare. At least there is no difference in quality.

The first card is more about the Psion, and psionic manifestation is originally one of the paths of the Psion.

But this talent polarizes this path and turns it into a super-powerful talent.

Ted felt that it should be a bit like the Green Lantern Ring, which could change spiritual energy into various material forms at will and have special effects.

The second card is a talent that focuses on alchemy.

The transformation of matter is the main function of alchemy.

But alchemical transformation of matter is by no means easy; it requires complex transformation processes and consumption.

This talent can save the conversion process, but it still requires consumption.

For example, if you want to transform mud into an iron ball, not to mention how much energy such as magic will be consumed, just the mud will consume several cubic meters.

But Ted himself has [Unequal Exchange (Red)]. To be honest, putting these two talents together almost looks like free stuff!
However, Ted was quite concerned about the content of the note: "Conversion costs are bound to exist, the only difference is who pays for it." In other words, the saved process and reduced energy consumption are actually borne by something else.

The most likely thing to pay for Ted's expenses is this world!
Ted is taking advantage of the world.

The third talent card is more inclined towards wizard magic.

Many previous events and experiences have demonstrated one thing - magic has its own properties.

The magic in the Molten Zone is heavily weighted toward fire, so much so that many spells have half the effect there.

The corrupt land in the Forbidden Forest that was ravaged by Ryan had no grass at all and even bred undead.

The Ministry of Magic and the school had gone to great lengths to deal with the death magic that had seeped into the land.

Under Paris, there was a stagnation of inert death magic for centuries. Under Ryan's catalysis, countless undead were activated. When Ted fought in that place, his magic recovery speed was halved. Some white magic was also very ineffective.

In fact, even the magic power in the wizard's body has attribute tendencies, but it is generally not that extreme.

So wizards can use any spell.

However, there are also some dark wizards who have gone too far on certain paths, and their own magical attributes have been greatly deviated, which makes it impossible to use spells with opposing attributes.

A typical one: the Patronus Charm!

Dark wizards cannot use this high-end white magic.

The more powerful the dark wizard, the more useless he is. He can even be very dangerous.

In ancient times, there was a dark wizard who was almost invincible in the world. In his spare time, he studied the Patronus Charm which was said to be unusable by dark wizards.

As a result, when it was used, it backfired.

All the magic power in his body turned into magic maggots, which ate him up completely without leaving any residue.

This is one reason why Dumbledore trusted Snape.

Snape was able to use the Patronus Charm, and even after Lily's death, the huge blow caused his Patronus to become a doe - Lily's Patronus.

Dumbledore firmly believed that he had not fallen completely into darkness and that he had deep love in his heart.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to gain the trust of Old Silver Coin.

After much deliberation, Ted finally chose the third one [Magic Conversion (Purple)]!
The first two talent cards are also very good and have a great effect in strengthening yourself.

But the third talent can make up for his shortcomings.

After you have mastered the transformation of magic power, you can transform the attributes of magic power at will without being restricted by the environment.

Even some spells and curses directed at you can be easily transformed and broken by you.

This is a very good choice.

……

Tomorrow is Christmas, and a group of little wizards are still practicing dancing in a classroom.

This Christmas, there will be a grand dance because there are so many "guests".

To attend a dance, you need a partner and you have to dance.

Professor McGonagall doesn't want the boys and girls in her school to embarrass the school at the dance.

So I am teaching dance as a cramming activity.

Well, there is an effect, but not much.

In one afternoon, I wore out more than a dozen pairs of shoes!

Especially since there is only one Professor McGonagall and there are dozens of students waiting to learn dancing.

Mag: I can’t teach it all. I can’t teach it all at all!

Sometimes, she would wonder if her students had steel plates in their legs that prevented them from bending or if their shoes flew off while dancing!
For example, Ron, who is dancing with her now.

"Focus, step lightly, follow the music... move your legs, Ronald!"

As soon as Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, Ron became even more nervous and almost tripped himself.

Ted gently hugged Hermione, and the two danced slowly to the music, in perfect harmony.

Neville, on the side, followed Ginny's lead and also changed his pace stiffly. He was almost 1.8 meters tall now, more than a head taller than Ginny!
Malfoy and Harry danced very well. After all, they were pure-bloods and had been taught when they were young. They were having a lot of fun dancing.

Jerry teamed up with Ginny's friend Luna, and both of them were quite talented in dancing.

Jerry looked at Ron, who was as stiff as a magic puppet without power, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Ted couldn't bear to see Professor McGonagall's dancing shoes almost being stepped on and crushed - could these guys be taking this opportunity to take revenge?

Professor McGonagall is about to develop a psychological trauma about dancing.

This is not a solution, Ted suggested: "Why not practice in Utopia? It's big, free, convenient, and your feet won't hurt!"

The matter of dance partners is also quite interesting.

Krum from Durmstrang had been hesitant for two days and actually wanted to ask Hermione to be his dance partner.

Hermione was a little proud when she told Ted about this!
Ted: "This guy looks big and strong, but he has some vision!"

Ron didn't know what was wrong with him, maybe he was bewitched. He actually asked Furong to be his dance partner. How did the original book describe it? Furong looked at Ron as if he was looking at a sea cucumber.

But now Ron is much stronger than in the original novel, and his reputation as a lucky boy has also been established. So Furong still politely refused.

Only Lavender didn't know about this, otherwise he would have fought to the sky. Although Lavender is a bit of a nympho, his fighting ability is also very strong! It's quite like the roar of the lion from the Black Lake~
After rejecting Ron, Fleur went to Ted and asked him to be her dance partner.

Of course Ted couldn't agree: Do you think this is a melodrama?

Oh yeah, and a prom dress.

Aunt Molly's problem was probably not just financial, but mainly due to differences in aesthetic tastes - the dresses she picked for Ron, Ginny and the twins were simply unbearable to look at!

Old-school British style, with lace-like decorations! Maybe it was popular in the royal court a hundred years ago?!

This would be quite suitable for a drama.

Peggy is now doing internship, but she came back for the dance. She bought the dress with her own money.

The same goes for the twins, they have their own business!
Ginny is having a bit of a hard time, but her brothers and sisters are willing to help her.

As for Ron, you are an adult now, you need to learn to be independent!

Ron was really independent, and Ted had originally planned to buy him a suit, or use Transfiguration to turn him into a suit.

Who knew he actually created a costume himself!
For specific looks, please refer to Golden Armor Warrior and Kamen Rider!
As soon as this outfit was unveiled, it instantly won praise from all the boys, who touched it as if it were a trophy.

It was Ron's girlfriend, Lavender, who didn't seem to appreciate it very much.

……

On Christmas Day, Ted gave gifts to his friends.

The necklace given to Hermione was a heart-shaped ruby ​​necklace. Its beauty was secondary. The main thing was that it contained a magic that could block a fatal attack at a critical moment.

Hermione wore this necklace to the ball that day. With her fair skin and bright red gem necklace, she looked very beautiful.

Ron was given a dozen singing shells, magical items made of shells that can play various kinds of music.

Neville was given an alchemical belt with a bunch of different alchemical bombs hanging on it. There was even a high-end item like lightning in a bottle!

Neville: This is a Christmas present? Is the style of the painting wrong?
The gift to Harley was a cloth tiger pillow.

You will know the effect the next day after sleeping on it for a night - it will become active on time and you will scream in bed!
Harry, who loves to stay in bed the most: Ted, you are not a human being!

Give Jerry a pair of magic sunglasses. After he puts them on, only the person wearing the sunglasses can see things within a thirty-meter radius.

Ted also gave Malfoy a homemade magic light bulb candy, and repeatedly told him to lick it and not swallow it, otherwise he couldn't take it out.
So, Malfoy, who didn't believe in evil, tried it. He licked the candy in his mouth for ten minutes, and his tongue became numb before he finally dissolved it.

When Ted saw the effect was very good, he immediately notified the twins: Start selling!
The light bulb candy became popular in the school within a few hours, and there are also upgraded versions with neon colors. Many little wizards who don't listen to advice have lights in their mouths wherever they go!

Ted gave Neville an idea and gave Ginny a puppy as a gift. Ginny seemed to like it very much, and it seemed that Neville had accepted his fate.
Hermione had originally intended to give Ted a sweater, but she had apparently overestimated her talent for knitting and ended up knitting a collar instead.

……

The Christmas party starts at 8pm and ends at midnight.

At seven o'clock, the warriors were ready with their dance partners and waiting at the door of the auditorium~
I feel like I’m getting better. Although I still have a cough, there’s no phlegm in my throat anymore.

I made it through!
