Online Games: Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 6 Footprints Appear
"Oh, that's right, Mrs. Norris is the cat raised by the administrator Filch." When Rosy mentioned it, Hagrid suddenly remembered that he hadn't mentioned Mrs. Norris as a cat, and looked at her in surprise. To the other side, asked, "Have you heard of Mrs. Norris? Know it's a cat?"

"I heard it mentioned by Hogwarts students by chance before." Rossi said casually, and then said rather dissatisfied, "Also, Mrs. Norris is a cat, you shouldn't immediately say Can you explain clearly?"

"Uh... sorry, I forgot to tell you about this." Hagrid explained with an apologetic face, "At Hogwarts, everyone knows that Mrs. Norris is a cat, so I was negligent for a while. Forgot to stress this to you."

Can this be ignored?So if I didn't know in advance and didn't ask him questions, wouldn't I be misled from the beginning?Could it be that in this dungeon, even the most basic case and clues may have wrong information or guidance?
While thinking secretly, Rosie looked at Hagrid with his jet-black eyes, and asked again:
"Do you have any other information or reminders about this case?"

"Uh..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, and finally lost under Rosie's probing eyes, and said in an extremely uncertain tone, "Perhaps, when investigating this case, you need to close your eyes and use your ears. To listen to the sounds around you, to use your nose to pick out the information contained in the breeze."

After all, Hagrid winked at Rosie, and then said:

"Next, you need to investigate by yourself. I have other things to do later, so I can't accompany you to investigate. If you need to rest, you can go to any common room of the four colleges to rest."

Without waiting for Rossi to reply, he continued quickly:

"If you find something and need help, you can ask any of the faculty members for help."

"Uh... Personal advice, don't ask the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for help."

"Okay!" Recalling the ridiculous performance of the idol professor in the movie, the corners of Rossi's mouth twitched, and he forcibly suppressed his complaints about Dumbledore's bluff to teach, "I know Already!"

After watching Hagrid leave, Rossi clicked on the information panel again and carefully looked at the mission information:

"Mission [-]: Find the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets (in progress).

Leads (not obtained), results (not completed)
Mission [-]: Investigate the truth behind the attack (in progress).

Clue (not obtained), inference (missing precondition), conclusion (missing precondition)

Task [-]: Rescue Ginny (not activated - lack of prerequisites)"

"This special dungeon will indeed display the mission details after entering the mission map." Rossi crossed his arms and thought silently, "That Hagrid didn't even provide any key clues, I am really convinced."

Muttering in his mouth, Rossi looked at the last message on the panel again:
"What's the situation that the task of saving Ginny has not been started? Could it be that it can only be started after I meet the girl named Ginny?"

"If the NPC in this game doesn't know and read his full name in advance, he can only check his last name. This setting is obviously not friendly to ordinary players. Especially what happened in this special dungeon The time is 60 years after the game timeline, if other players enter and want to clear the copy, this must be a difficult point.”

"However, this doesn't have much impact on me who knows the plot."

"Ginny, I remember Harry Potter's future wife, Ron's sister is named Ginny, uh...Ginny Weasley?" Rosie continued to recall the plot in the movie, muttering almost silently road:

"The plot of the Chamber of Secrets begins with Dobby the house elf preventing Harry Potter from going to school. The main plot is that Lucius Malfoy mixes Tom Riddle's notes, which are Voldemort's Horcruxes, into Ginny Weasley's books. In the movie, Ginny was bewitched by the young Voldemort, and opened the Chamber of Secrets to release the Basilisk. In the end, Harry Potter killed the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, destroyed the Horcrux Notebook, and saved Ginny who was facing death."

Thinking of this, Rosie tentatively read: "Ginny Weasley..."

While whispering, she focused her gaze on the mission panel, expecting that the mission information would change accordingly.

"There is no movement...does it need to be in contact with the other party?"

Before making the attempt, Rosie had already vaguely felt that there was a high probability of failure in her heart, and she was not discouraged. She pursed her red lips, then took out a golden wand from the wand pocket at her waist, bowed slightly, and used it A deep voice recited the mantra:
"The footprints appear!"

A golden mist spewed out from the tip of the wand in an instant, and then, the mist spread throughout the corridor as Rosie danced around.

Footprint Reveal: A magic that can display all footprints within a range of ten meters within three days.Just specify a footprint, and all the actions of the owner of the footprint at that time can be reproduced.The appearance time of the footprints and the duration of the scene reappearance are related to the level of the magic.The cooling time of this skill is 1 hour.

In the next second, chaotic and noisy golden footprints quickly appeared within a ten-meter range centered on Rossi.

Due to the low skill level, the duration of only 30 seconds seemed very urgent. The moment the footprints appeared, Rossi immediately bent over and searched carefully.

But after glancing around a few times, Rossi's brows like willow leaves frowned:

"I thought the difficulty at the beginning of this dungeon was that Hagrid didn't give any direct clues. After I confirmed to him that Mrs. Norris is a cat, I can use the skill of footprint revealing to reproduce the cat easily. The scene where the cat is petrified by the basilisk, so we can get some clues.

But what is the situation that there are no cat footprints and basilisk crawling traces at all, and they are covered up by "disappearing without a trace"? "

"Disappearing without a trace..." Rossi pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "If it disappeared without a trace, can I use 'super sensory tracking' to reappear the erased footprints?"

Before he had time to think about it, Rossi flicked his wand again, and quickly cast the identity skill that he had only learned one level.

The dense blue light penetrated into her eyes in an instant, making her dark eyes suddenly turn blue.

Just in an instant, Rosie saw golden drop-shaped cat paw prints suddenly appearing on the gray stone wall. Ignoring the excitement, she walked forward quickly, and quickly put the 11-inch golden wand on the cat. paw prints.

Just when she was about to use the "reveal" spell to reproduce the scene at that time, a series of dark lights suddenly flickered from those cat paw prints, but after a while, those footprints that had just appeared were covered up again .

Seeing this, Rossi with blue eyes recited a mantra without much hope:
"Show me!"

However, dozens of points of magic power were spent, but it failed to cause any change. Obviously, this spell failed without any accident.

Rossi gave a helpless wry smile, and slowly withdrew the magic wand against the corner, thinking in his heart:
"If we infer according to the plot, it was Ginny Weasley who summoned the basilisk, and she ordered the basilisk to petrify the cat here. If this is the case, then use 'disappear without a trace' to cover up the footprints The person can only be her.

But although my super sensory tracking is only level one, can she really use 'disappear without a trace' as a first-year freshman?And there is magic against me with only the residual magic power?Then this freshman is too strong, right?Could it be that the plot has undergone an unknown change?Or is this just a revision of the plot in the dungeon? "

Filled with doubts, Rossi canceled the effect of supersensory tracking. Before the students' get out of class time came, she found the location of the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts from the system map and searched for it.

Speaking of which, this abandoned girls' bathroom was found by Rosie when she searched the Hogwarts campus before, although in the main timeline of the game, this bathroom was marked as inaccessible.

But for Rosie, who knows the plot of Harry Potter, this information is enough to remind her that there is the bathroom where Moaning Myrtle is.

Of course, this is also the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
