Chapter 87 The Strongest Defensive Magic! Millions of Points!
After seeing Charles Evans' name on the Marauder's Map and entering the trapdoor at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, the Weasley twins, who had already left, ran over for their lives.
It's too late to call the professor now. Only they can rescue Charles in the first place.
"Hopefully it's not too late."
The Weasley twins held dung bombs in their hands.
This was a method they came up with in a short period of time to deal with the three-headed dog.
As we all know, a dog can’t change his nature.
Maybe throwing a dung bomb out would make the three-headed dog change its appetite and let Charles go?
It was just as the two of them rushed through the trapdoor, wand in one hand and dung bomb in the other, ready to rescue Ciel.
The scene before them stunned them.
There was no sign of Ciel through the trapdoor.
The two of them felt a tightness in their hearts and thought of the same possibility at the same time.
"Has Charles Evans been eaten by the three-headed dog?"
The thought made them pale.
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
If Ciel had been eaten, there should have been at least bloodstains and torn pieces of school uniform on the ground, but there was nothing.
Even the three-headed dog no longer had its previous ferocity. Instead, it seemed to be wilted, huddled in the corner of the room, curled up, and making whimpering sounds from its mouth and nose.
From the looks of it, it looks like he was beaten and cried?!
Even when it saw the Weasley twins, the three-headed dog didn't even think of pouncing on them. Instead, it seemed to be quite frightened, and its huge body shrank a little.
This left the Weasley twins confused.
What's going on?
In such a short period of time, the three-headed dog has completely changed its temperament?
What terrible thing happened to it?
The Weasley twins stepped out of the trapdoor and could not help but take out the Marauder's Map again, wanting to see where Ciel Evans' name appeared.
But when they reached out, they found that the Marauder's Map had disappeared.
The Weasley twins looked at each other.
"what's the situation?!"
"The Marauder's Map was clearly in our pockets just now, how come it's gone now?"
"What the hell!"
But before they could think about it, the voice of Filch, the school manager, came from the stairs.
"Got you!"
The Weasley twins threw the dung bomb out reflexively and then ran away.
While running, the two looked at each other and had the same idea.
"Charles Evans, this first-year student is definitely not simple!"
……
At the same time, Charles had already leisurely stepped onto the stairs of Hogwarts with his harvest tonight.
The stairs were very tactful this time, and carried Charles to the Hufflepuff common room one level at a time.
There was also a Marauder's Map in Charles' hand, which was the one he had just taken from the Weasley twins using the Disillusionment Charm.
Looking at the Marauder's Map, Charles' eyes showed a bit of strangeness.
This thing is pretty awesome in the original book. Not only can it display the names of Dumbledore and Voldemort, it can even display Peter Pettigrew in his Animagus form.
It is unbelievable that such a thing was created by James Potter and others.
This couldn't help but make Charles wonder.
If the technology of the live map could be replicated somewhere else, or could be expanded, wouldn't it be possible to clearly detect all the enemy's manpower movements?
Why didn't we see technology like the Marauder's Map used in the battle between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters?
The only explanation is that the special nature of the Marauder's Map depends on Hogwarts.
James Potter and others must have used Hogwarts' own magic to create the Marauder's Map.
This is the only way to explain why the Marauder's Map can clearly show the movements of everyone in Hogwarts, because this thing is equivalent to borrowing the surveillance authority of Hogwarts!
Ciel tapped his wand on the Marauder's Map and uttered the oath from the book.
Soon, names and a map of Hogwarts appeared on the parchment.
Along with this scene, a deep blue reminder sounded in Charles' mind.
"The host has obtained knowledge that can be used for deduction - Hogwarts' protective magic (part)."
"The first deduction requires one million deduction points. Do you want to deduce?"
"Obtaining the inheritance of the four founders of Hogwarts will greatly reduce the required deduction points."
After hearing this prompt, Charles' pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect that his guess was right. The Marauder's Map really borrowed the protective magic of Hogwarts.
He also didn't expect that the Hogwarts protective magic could also be deduced by Deep Blue.
And just looking at the number of points required for this initial deduction, it can be said that it is the most demanding of all the knowledge that Charles has come into contact with so far!
But it’s not surprising when you think about it.
This protective magic has covered Hogwarts for thousands of years, with only a few incidents of failure. Almost no foreign enemy has been able to break in, earning Hogwarts the title of the safest place in the wizarding world, which is enough to prove the power of this magic.
How could this work, which was the result of the painstaking efforts of the four founders, be just a work of fame in vain?
The protective magic probably also contains the four people's immense magical knowledge. Even in the next thousand years, generations of principals, professors and outstanding wizards have been constantly improving this protective magic.
To fully understand this protective magic means to have mastered the essence of so many protective spells, and to be able to create a place comparable to Hogwarts on your own!
It’s not an exaggeration to call this the most powerful protective magic in history!
It would be abnormal if the required deduction points were small.
An idea even came to Ciel's mind.
Hogwarts' protective magic needs to cover the entire school to still have such strong protective power.
If the range is reduced and the protective effect is more concentrated, then wouldn't the area covered by the protective magic be as solid as a rock? !
Thinking of this, Charles' eyes became hot.
"Hogwarts is a thousand-year-old institution that has produced countless geniuses, as well as wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort. It really lives up to its reputation."
“There are so many secrets.”
"According to Deep Blue, obtaining the inheritance of the four founders can significantly reduce the points required to deduce Hogwarts' protective magic."
"But in the original book, apart from Slytherin, there seems to be no similar saying in other academies. It seems to have been lost in history. We need to look carefully for it."
While Charles was thinking, the stairs slowly stopped and brought Charles to the door of the Hufflepuff common room.
Ciel also collected his thoughts and looked at the handle of the door to the common room.
There is no need to rush to find the inheritance of the four founders, as it will take time to find it.
I did go and fight a three-headed dog, and had it neutered, and I'm a little thirsty.
According to Cedric Diggory, there seems to be a self-service magic vinegar here?
The next moment, Charles grabbed the handle and said with a troubled look on his face.
"Oh, what was the entrance pass? I forgot. Look at my memory."
Then he knocked twice at random.
Immediately afterwards, magic vinegar with a strong acetic acid smell gushed out from the nozzles on both sides of the door.
These nozzles seemed to have an aiming function, and they were all spraying vinegar towards Charles' mouth.
Ciel grinned at the sight.
“How thoughtful.”
Immediately, he opened his mouth and swallowed the vinegar juice.
In my mind, a deep blue reminder sounded.
"Deduction points +50..."
"Deduction points +50..."
After this wave of vinegar splashed, Charles's deduction points increased by thousands of points.
This number is already quite large, not to mention that according to Cedric, the magic vinegar that spurts out later will be even more concentrated, and even the vinegar brewed by Hufflepuff himself can be sprayed out.
Charles' eyes showed passion and greed, and he knocked on the door knocker again.
Without stopping for a moment, a large amount of vinegar gushed out.
"Come again!"
"Come again!"
In the end, Ciel didn't even bother to pretend, and he just knocked on the door knocker and said directly to the door of the Hufflepuff common room.
"I'm a bad guy, I'm going to go into Hufflepuff and do evil."
"Quick, spray all that Hufflepuff-era magic vinegar out for me, or I'm going to do something bad!"
Then Charles opened his mouth wide and stopped directly in front of the nozzle gushing out vinegar.
The next moment, the magic vinegar that would make ordinary people feel sour just by smelling it gushed out.
However, Charles grinned and laughed wildly.
It is worthy of being a magical product left over from the Hufflepuff era. Even if it is just magic vinegar, the magic contained in it is extremely rich.
In a short period of time, Charles' mind was filled with the continuous sound of deep blue prompts.
"Deduction points +1000..."
"Deduction points +1000..."
By the time the magic vinegar stopped gushing out, Charles's deduction points soared by nearly one million in this short period of time!
