Chapter 24: The bar does not serve hot chocolate
(a small modification was made at the end of the previous chapter)
A green box full of vitality slowly opened in the void, and a shining card jumped out.
[Bless the deceiver of the curse; after the last time the curse completely killed the victim and backfired the caster, the curse fell into a strange state, and the new round of cursed you confused the name of the object of the curse After a new cursed person became the target of this curse, the curse fell into chaos.
Confusion (Passive): When the cursed object is greater than two, the killing effect cannot take effect, and the remaining effects are greatly reduced. When the first victim of the curse in this round dies, the card is destroyed. 】
, the last sentence is unnecessary, right?
William pretended to be silent and opened the box at the first moment.
The result surprised him a bit—the last time the curse killed the message was completely different from what Dumbledore told him.
The message he got before entering the school was that the most injured one was hospitalized for one and a half years.
The newly scammed professor will not be cursed and the curse received is greatly reduced. Both of these are good things, but he really can’t ignore the message of cursing the victim.
pretending to be silent, he raised his head and asked Dumbledore casually:
"Professor Dumbledore, I want to know who my last professor was. I still have a lot of things that I don't know very well. I want to use an owl to ask him some questions-I hope he won't mind."
As a successor, it is normal to consult the previous professor.
But William noticed that Dumbledore’s face had changed. After a period of silence, he finally responded to William:
"I want to keep this matter secret, because it will cause panic in the entire magic society, but I think in the future, we will meet more and more of that person. I think, William, you will become our partner. I can tell you all this, but you must swear not to reveal it."
"Okay, I swear."
William stretched out his hand and aimed it at it with his magic wand-the refining of some illegal potions in the black market often requires vows of different levels of secrecy.
The light yellow beams flowed, and after a vow to pay up to three thousand gallons, William waited for the answer he wanted.
"Your last professor was Professor Quirrell. Unfortunately, he died during his tenure, but that was not caused by the curse, but because he trusted the wrong person—he was personally killed by the cursed releaser. Up."
"The releaser?"
"Yes, my former student, Voldemort, was annoyed at the fact that I didn't hire him as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. He cursed this position by casting spells. Although I dabble in dark arts, I am not good at it. There is no way to eliminate this curse."
William looked at Teka [Dumbledore the Dark Wizard] in the bag, and gave up interrupting.
"Wait, Professor Dumbledore, if I remember correctly, the Dark Lord was defeated ten years ago. How could he appear at Hogwarts and kill the previous professor?"
"I said ten years ago that he would make a comeback after all. He bewitched Professor Quirrell and used Professor Quirrell to sneak into Hogwarts. After he was defeated, he killed Professor Quirrell."
William remembered the scene of Voldemort's rebirth he saw, and then realized that Hogwarts was far more dangerous than he thought.
The Dark Lord, whom the Azkaban prisoner was called a mysterious person, did not secretly resurrect himself with a little bit of calculation, but began to attack Hogwarts before he was resurrected, and finally resurrected himself successfully—if Not cursed, William has a high probability of fleeing abroad.
"There are only so many things I can tell you at the moment. I am just guessing a lot of things. I am still looking for evidence to prove them. I hope these news will make you no longer doubtful. Professor Quirrell’s affairs cannot be disclosed to the outside world. , I don’t want you to think we deceived you when you learn about him in the future."
Dumbledore said sincerely.
"I will, principal."
——
After sending away Dumbledore, William rarely spent a long time in a daze.
No way, the message he received just now was too big.
Think about it carefully. He was only asking about the last Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Even if you want to tell, is it necessary to put his heart in such a way for a temporary professor?
Although there are restrictions on oaths, such unnecessary things are not worth so much effort by Dumbledore.
To give gifts to others, you must ask for something.
According to what he learned from prison inmates and old Tom, Dumbledore did not have a granddaughter or granddaughter of the right age to marry, so the only thing that might use him is what Dumbledore called ten years ago. It was predicted that the mysterious man would return.
This uninteresting guess made him hate the notes he made on the table, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Since he has been stared at by that difficult curse, he must have killed Voldemort.
Even if the new card suggested that the curse effect was weakened, he was still careful about that curse-weakening, what effect is weakening?
Will be in a wheelchair in the next life?
An arm or a leg will be lost by black magic forever?
Lost an ear or an eye?
Sorry, he is very happy to use all these organs. He has no plans to donate them because a guy named Mysterious Man wants to use them.
Thinking of this, he simply gave up the rest, turned the book to the page with the bookmark, and then prepared paper and pen, ready to continue studying.
Killing Voldemort is not just talking about it. Although it is almost impossible to kill Voldemort by reading, reading can make him get closer and closer to the mysterious man.
Then, relying on the system, relying on the prophet who didn't know when it was fulfilled, relying on the power of the first white wizard, killed the guy named Voldemort.
"咚咚咚."
The door of the room was knocked.
"Come in, the door is unlocked." William shouted towards the door angrily.
No need to ask, it must be old Tom.
Sure enough, the guy facing William's wand after the opponent pushed the door was the old Tom who came for the fourth time. Since he was cursed, William's wand has always been pulled out the first time.
The refreshments on the table, hot chocolate, nuts, and a series of things that shouldn't be in the bar were sent by Old Tom just to see Dumbledore.
"Ah, Professor Dumbledore is gone?"
"Go, if he doesn't leave, he is afraid that he will last. The bar can gather so many snacks, you really have you."
"Snacks? I forgot to mention it. The rest counts as mine. Your cup of hot chocolate has ten Westcourts."
"The bar doesn't have this kind of food, it belongs to another family."
William rolled his eyes directly at him.
