Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 77: A Treasure Land Full of Gold

"Disarm you!" What followed was Neville's disarming spell. After so much special training with Ted, he was most proficient in this attacking magic.

However, the two red spells were blocked by a vague shield around the mysterious man, which was the Iron Armor Spell.

The man hurriedly turned around and stood up, raising his hand to cast the spell.

"Hey!" Something Ron threw hit him.

"Puff puff puff~" In an instant yellow-green smoke rose up.

"Ugh~" The man opened his mouth and hadn't even started to chant the spell when the stench hit his mouth and nose, and he almost vomited for a moment.

"Run, we are no match for them." Neville pushed Jerry behind him to run faster while throwing things out of his pocket.

They were clumps of stuff the size of a baby's head.

Jerry ran very fast, scattering things on the ground as he ran.

Professor Quirrell had just used a "Whirlwind Sweeper" to blow away the foul-smelling fog, and the four little ones had already run more than ten meters away.

The forest was full of trees, and a dozen meters away were almost invisible.

In front of him, there were four or five lively "cabbages" jumping towards him!
That’s right, this is what Neville prepared - the Celestial Biting Cabbage, which tastes delicious, has high medicinal value, bites very hard and is extremely ferocious!
"Repel the enemy three feet!" Professor Quirrell cast another repelling spell, knocking several biting cabbages away. But after running two steps, he stepped on something round, and sparks flew everywhere under his feet!
These are Jerry's crackling fireworks, including the big dung balls thrown by Ron, all of which were obtained from the Weasley twins and were their preparations.

I didn’t expect that they would all be used!
At this time, Ted also noticed the movement here. No matter what happened, he just fired three consecutive red fireworks with a whistling sound!
"Idiot! Stop chasing me! Go away!" Voldemort spoke again.

Professor Quirrell seemed to be pardoned, and he quickly disappeared.

……

By the time Professor McGonagall and Snape arrived at the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid had also found the poacher - a dead one.

When the three of them got together, they all frowned and remained silent, a little confused about the situation.

The only thing that is certain is that students will no longer be allowed to patrol the Forbidden Forest.

In less than half an hour Dumbledore knew the whole story.

If this matter is unilateral, everyone will be confused, but if we summarize the clues, it will be easy to distinguish.

There are "two groups of poachers" in the forbidden forest!
The first group was the ones that Hagrid encountered. They had many targets for poaching, such as the Silent Bird, the Moon Beast, and those magical animals in the Forbidden Forest. They accepted all of them.

The second group was the mysterious shadowy man, but he had higher magical attainments. When he met the first group, he directly used the killing curse and killed one of them.

The rest of the people fled, which alerted Hagrid, and a subsequent battle ensued. Later, they were really defeated, gave up most of their gains, and ran away.

The "reckless" Harley and her three companions encountered a mysterious man in the dark in the Forbidden Forest, whose target was the blood of the unicorn.

If he hadn't been busy drinking blood at the time and was caught off guard by Harry and the others, he would have probably wiped them out.

The only good thing was that Professor McGonagall and Snape rescued the dying unicorn in time.

Ted, who had returned to the castle and had just laid down, also received a notification from the system:

"Ding~ Complete the hidden mission [Save the Unicorn (Blue)], Reward: 300 experience points, card [Holiness (Blue)]."

【Holiness (blue)】

Material Card

This is a holy light, far away from filth and ugliness, which makes people feel respect.

It's unknown what this material card is used for, but Ted is sure that it cannot be fused with [Giant (Blue)].

Holy Giant? Just hearing the name is offensive!
……

Ted also didn't expect that Professor Quirrell would encounter a group of magical animal poachers in the Forbidden Forest.

Later, when I heard Hagrid talk about these people, I had some understanding.

There are poachers in this world, but at least the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is not their target.

However, the great changes brought about by the intersection of the stars have also affected this place. Now many things in the Forbidden Forest are very valuable on the black market. For some wizards who wander in the gray area, or dark wizards, it is also a treasure land!

And not all the intelligent races from other worlds brought about by the intersection of the stars are friendly.

Or some people have a hard life and will turn to crime.

If the benefits are huge or you are desperate, no one will care about Hogwarts. As long as the benefits are enough, there are many people who are willing to take risks.

The treasures of heaven, materials and earth are inhabited by the virtuous.

If the landlord was not Hogwarts and Dumbledore was not in charge, this place would have been in chaos long ago.

Hagrid also told a little secret. Just the year before, the year before Ted and his friends entered school, a magical creature smuggling incident occurred in Hogsmeade village.

As mentioned before, Hagrid was able to "win" the dragon egg from the Hog's Head Inn because it was originally a small black market trading place.

That incident involved a wizard from America who smuggled in a half-grown ocelot.

The danger level of this magical animal, which is unique to America, is "XXXXX", which is the same level as fire dragons and basilisks. Just imagine how powerful it is.

Not only are they natural hunters, but they also have the ability to read minds, allowing them to see through the minds of their prey and ambush them to kill them one by one.

This half-grown ocelot escaped from the smugglers and caused a lot of trouble in Hogsmeade Village. It was finally caught by Kettleburn and Hagrid, the then professors of the Care of Magical Creatures, and is now kept deep in the Forbidden Forest. It is said that Ron's second brother Charlie Weasley was involved in that incident.

It can be said that every generation of students has its own story.

In the Forbidden Forest, poaching has increased in recent years, and the job of gamekeeper has become more arduous.

However, ordinary smugglers and poachers will not come to the Forbidden Forest as it is too dangerous.

If you really encounter an ocelot, or two or three giant monsters, you'd be lucky if you could escape - not everyone can Apparate, and it's very dangerous.

There are also large groups of eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest, there are tribes of centaurs, there are fey creatures like Red Caps, and there are magical animals with various dangerous abilities. The risks here are still too great.

Anyone who comes here to poach is a desperado.

As a result, when this desperado met Voldemort, he was truly doomed.

This confinement in the forbidden forest was thrilling.

Both Malfoy and Harry and the other three have suffered enough.

The days that followed were really honest.

Think of a nighttime battle between poachers in the Forbidden Forest, the sound of spells crackling against tree trunks.

Think about the mysterious shadow lying on the unicorn and drinking its blood, and think about the poacher who was killed by Avada's big melon.

This is a life-threatening confinement.

They had no choice but to behave themselves in the days ahead, as the final exams were only half a month away.

Examinations, exams, exams are the teacher’s magic weapon; scores, scores, scores are the students’ lifeblood.

No matter when, exams are always a powerful weapon for students.

Not to mention the Forbidden Forest incident and the school's attitude.

The professors were in a state of panic. Not only would they not be able to sneak into the Forbidden Forest, they would even be reprimanded if they explored the castle.

Moreover, they all left a lot of homework, which took two or three hours to finish, thus wasting students' after-school time.

After this incident, Ted became even more low-key. He even stopped answering questions actively in class, and never communicated with Professor Quirrell outside of class again.

Professor Quirrell is now like a trapped beast and is extremely dangerous. It is better not to join in the fun.

But one afternoon, when Harry was still wandering around wearing the invisibility cloak, he heard Quirrell crying - as if someone was threatening him!

"No! No... I really can't do it anymore, please... Okay, I will, I get it."

Harry said that he heard Professor Quirrell crying loudly on the other side of the corner and felt very aggrieved.

Ron and Jerry agreed that it must be Snape!

This was the only bad guy in the entire castle who would attack the cowardly Professor Quirrell.

"Is he trying to blackmail Professor Quirrell's salary?" Ron guessed.

Speaking of which, the salary of professors in the school is still very high.

Ted guessed that it might be Voldemort who was forcing Quirrell to get the Philosopher's Stone.

……

As we entered the final review period, the atmosphere in school began to become tense.

There are so many young wizards who are cramming for exams at the last minute, and the library is now crowded with people.

Even Ron and Jerry started to worry, which shows how serious the situation is.

In the blink of an eye, June is here.

"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and [Traveler's Delicious Recipes (Green)] is discovered."

[Traveler's Delicious Recipes (Green)] records the delicious recipes collected by a traveler in Kalimdor. It costs 180 experience points to redeem.

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Ted was a little surprised.

You might say that recipes should also be considered knowledge, right?
You said it was useless, but it was quite useful. You said it was useful, but um, it wasn't very useful~
Let’s change it. I’d like to see some recipes.

A lot of information was injected into Ted's mind, and he knew what this delicious recipe book recorded.

You know what, it really works. It's a delicacy cooked in Azeroth that can restore your physical strength and even have special effects.

There are 8 recipes in total:
Delicious Wind Snake
Delicious omelette

Redridge Stew

Hot Wolf Steak

Night fish soup
Grilled squid

Spider Sausage
Mint Lemonade

There are food and drinks~
