Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 88 "Summoning Flow" Wizard

Isn't it just a death curse?
So would Byrne.

Who said that "psionic lightning" disguised as "all petrified" can only cause people to be shocked by electricity?
Moreover, even if the psychic lightning can be avoided, the short spear that breaks through the air will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Before taking action, Bourne's Astartes brain, which was specially designed for combat, had already predicted the enemy's prediction. A double strike of this degree could never be avoided by just dodging.

The result was exactly the same. Quirrell, who was wearing a mask, was startled by the torrent of plasma, and then hurriedly hid behind an oak tree, with his back pressed against the trunk of the tree.

"boom……!"

Like a sniper rifle hitting its target, the centaur's short spear directly pierced the tree trunk, and the spearhead also pierced Quirrell's body.

Like Newt, Quirrell, who is wearing a mask, does not use "armor protection".

The reason is the same: it's not that they don't know this spell, it's just that they were not the kind of wizards who particularly liked to duel or fight with others before.

His waist was pierced by a short spear, and Quirrell was so painful that he almost passed away on the spot.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, Voldemort, who was possessing him, finally gave up for once and did not directly give up on him as his host.

The Dark Lord took over Quirrell's body, forcibly cutting off his sense of pain, then picked up the alder wand and pointed in the distance.

"Whoosh...!"

A thin but extremely tough string shot out from the top of the wand and wrapped around the branches of a big tree dozens of meters away.

"rav accio!"

Quirrell's body was instantly pulled by the curse and flew far away, and the price of his violent escape was that one of his waists was completely torn apart by a short spear, and the fragments fell to the ground.

In mid-air, Voldemort controlled Quirrell to transform into "Spider-Man", repeatedly summoning the rope and reversing the flying spell.

After a few times, Quirrell disappeared without a trace in the Forbidden Forest.

Fortunately, Bourne and the others had a "summoner" here, and Professor Scamander immediately came up with the most reasonable response.

"Gunnet gun, insect stick, guide insect..."

One piece after another, he took out a complete set of professional equipment from his suitcase, and from time to time he would put half of his body into the suitcase to rummage through it.

Bourne, Hagrid, the Weasley brothers and the two centaurs were all stunned.

George: "I just doubted the size of this box. How did the invisible beast fit in it?"

Fred: "It seems, it seems, maybe it's the 'Invisible Expansion Charm'. I remember my father said he wanted to use this spell to expand the garage at home, but my mother said it was illegal, and as the director of the Office of the Ministry of Magic, it must not be done. If you do that, you are committing a crime knowingly."

Hagrid thought the box was interesting, but Ronan the Centaur and Bain didn't have much knowledge and had no idea what the box meant.

As for Bourne, he severely injured the dark wizard Quirrell, who he regarded as a "playing card". At this time, he had returned to the appearance of a young wizard. He was looking at Professor Scamander with great interest. That suitcase.

Grandpa Horace gave him a wallet made of deformed lizard skin. The skin was almost the maximum body size that a deformed lizard could normally grow.

But now he was surprised to find that although Professor Scamander's suitcase was painted with a layer of leather paint, the patterns and textures on the bottom layer were still quite neat, with no obvious traces of splicing.

If his guess is correct, Professor Scamander's suitcase seems to be made of a completely transformed lizard skin!
"As expected of a boss who writes books that can be used as textbooks. This Professor Scamander must usually carry money in sacks. The value of his suitcase alone can probably buy a row of shops in Diagon Alley! "

For a moment, Byrne even had the idea of ​​writing books to make money in the future, but he gave up after a second thought.

After all, there are only a handful of people who can write books that make them famous. On the contrary, readers who read books are often the real rich, handsome people.

"...Okay, I'm going to track that guy." Professor Scamander, who put on new equipment, said very formally: "Let's track that guy who escaped. Don't separate."

After saying that, he pointed his oak wand to the sky and fired a cluster of dazzling red sparks.

In the dark night, this red spark can be seen even from a long distance away.

Moreover, this 'spark for help' also contains a kind of spell fluctuation with a specific frequency. A powerful enough wizard can feel this fluctuation even if he doesn't see it - as long as the distance is not too far away.

For example, there is a certain "greatest white wizard" who sleeps a lot less because he is getting older.

The old man was looking attentively at a document that was urgently sent from the Secretariat of the International Federation of Wizards.

In addition to being the chief wizard of the British Wizengamot and the principal of Hogwarts, he is also the president of the International Federation of Wizards.

Dumbledore was almost reading the document of only three or four pages of parchment carefully word by word, frowning from time to time.

He looked at it so seriously.

So much so that he didn't even notice when several chocolate cockroaches piled candies and crawled out of the jar with the lid open in his hand.

Because this emergency document conveys a message: Times have changed.

And just when the old man picked up a quill customized by Literary Residence and was about to write a reply to the secretariat, he suddenly felt a special spell wave.

"In the Forbidden Forest, it was Newt who sent a signal for help." Because of the authority of the Hogwarts principal, Dumbledore immediately understood the general outline of the matter.

He took off the spectacles on his nose, stood up from the chair, and turned to look at the Forbidden Forest through the frosted rose window.

In the sky, a cluster of red sparks was blooming with dazzling light.

"Fawkes," Dumbledore called softly. The half-asleep fire phoenix standing on the perch opened its eyes instantly and let out a slightly dissatisfied cry, but it quickly flew to the arm held by its master and partner.

"Sorry to disturb your rest."

After stroking his old friend's feathers as an apology, Dumbledore said, "Take me to the Forbidden Forest as quickly as possible."

Before he finished speaking, with a burst of sparks flying "special effects", Fox and Dumbledore apparated in the principal's office.
-
Professor Scamander did not let Bourne and the others separate from him, mainly because he was worried that when he was tracking the dark wizard, the latter might come back very insidiously.

Hagrid was a little worried about the unicorn Swift and her cubs. However, six adult male unicorns suddenly walked out of the bushes, making him completely put aside his worries.

This was also expected by Professor Scamander: Swift had just waved her mane and tail to signal her companions for help with magic. Calculating the time, it was enough for the herd to respond. Even if unicorns will try to avoid seeing the same kind of childbirth due to their moral values, the addition of a newborn is a major event for the group after all, and they cannot hide away and ignore it.

A distance of almost a mile is enough, and this distance in the Forbidden Forest only takes a few minutes for a unicorn sprinting at full speed.

Leaving Swift and the cub under the protection of the male unicorns, Professor Scamander took the little wizard, Hagrid and two centaurs on a trail.

He walked ahead to clear the way, handing the suitcase to Hagrid for safekeeping, holding a wand in one hand and a bug stick in the other.

Perhaps because he was worried that the little wizards would feel nervous and depressed, Professor Scamander, who was slightly autistic, unexpectedly became more talkative.

He explained the origin of his equipment: "...these are all equipment I designed when I was working as a consultant at a dragon farm in Romania. They are now popular among dragon trainers. They are useful for finding and subduing those dragons without accidentally injuring them. The cute little guy who is more than ten meters long is very helpful.”

Hearing this, the Weasley brothers cheered up. Their brother Charlie is now working as a dragon tamer at a dragon farm in Romania.

Professor Scamander also told them what was going on with the insect stick he was carrying.

It turns out that, as the little wizards (especially Bourne) thought, Scamander was not going to reason with the dark wizard (Quirrell) with this big wooden stick with a "fluorescence" spell attached to the top.

It is a device used to control bugs.

Professor Scamander released a guide insect. Although it looks about the same size as a firefly, it is actually a magical animal.

As a magical animal, the ability of the guide bug is to find traces of wizards and other magical animals. Moreover, their ability does not rely on pheromones such as smell, but on detecting spell fluctuations.

A guide insect specially used for tracking is usually raised as an ordinary insect, and it is kept as far away from other magical animals and wizards as possible (to prevent them from feeling magic fluctuations). Once activated, the released guide insect remembers the first mana fluctuation felt by the insect, and then provides guidance to the wizard who released it through the insect stick.

"I released three guide bugs to explore the path in advance in three different directions a few hundred meters away from us. We don't have to worry about being ambushed by the escaped dark wizard or losing his traces," Scamander explained. road.

In addition to the guide bugs, the master of magical beasts also released two other bugs: a swarm of billywigs and vixens.

The Billywig is about a foot long and is blue with a bright sapphire-like luster.

Their wings grow on both sides of the head, and they can rotate quickly like propellers. They fly very fast, so this magical insect is rarely noticed by Muggles, and wizards and wizards usually only notice it after being stung by it. Only then can you realize its existence.

If you are stung by a Billywig bug, you will feel dizzy and then float up. Multiple stings by billywig bugs can cause uncontrolled levitation for several days, or, if an allergic reaction occurs, permanent levitation.

Of course, this is only "possible" for adult wizards, because no wizard would let more than a hundred Billywigs sting him.

As for Hu Meizi, strictly speaking, it is not actually an insect.

Sometimes called the "biting fairy," this magical creature is a fairy-like creature that is often mistaken for a fairy.

Hu Meizi is covered with thick black hair and has two extra arms and two legs. They have shining beetle-like wings and two rows of sharp fangs. Once bitten, a wizard must quickly take an antidote. Humeizi can lay up to 500 eggs at a time and bury them in the ground. The eggs usually only take two to three weeks to hatch.

Because of this reproductive ability, Hu Meizi has always been regarded as a pest. They breed in wizards' homes and live in curtains. Removing foxtail millet requires the use of large amounts of foxtail bug insecticide.

However, Professor Scamander did some research on vixenids in his early years and discovered one of their characteristics.

In fact, they do not take the initiative to bite the wizard with their fangs. Most of the time, Hu Meizi actually bites the wizard's wand.

This is very similar to the hairy crab (a pest that destroys magic items like wands and cauldrons).

However, because the wizard could dodge, Hu Meizi bit her finger.

Strictly speaking, the toxins in Hu Meizi's teeth are not used to poison humans, but are used to hunt its main food, the mangosteen.

(Spotted mangosteens feed on dirt, and if they appear in groups, they are likely to destroy the entire house. Usually the stench from rotting things will attract the spotted mangosteens to appear. They slowly secrete a substance that will corrode the house. The foundation of the house can collapse over time. The descaling spell can solve the problem of a small amount of spotted mango, but a large number of cases still need to be solved by contacting the Pest Consultation Office of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures - the method is quite violent, and those wizard cleaning specialists They would use 'Yingadim Leviosa' to float patches of ground awns, and then use the Shattering and Bone-Shattering Curse to destroy them; in order to prevent them from resurrecting, they would also collect the debris and take them out of the house, finding an open space for them. Cast a fire spell.)
Spotted awns usually live under the floor and behind skirting boards, crawling with tiny tentacles. They look like a piece of bark covered with moldy spots, and those spots are a kind of eyes that are not fully evolved and only have some phototactic functions. .

Hu Meizi will use her teeth to tear open the bark-like thick bark of the spotted mango, and kill the spotted mango with toxins.

Therefore, Professor Scamander guessed that when the wizard poked them with the wand, the fox with low intelligence was likely to regard the wand made of magical plants as a special-shaped awn, and then tear the wand apart. bite.

He explained his plan to several people: "I will use the bug stick to control the guide bug to catch up with the dark wizard, then let the Billywig bug rush over and sting him, and then let Hu Meizi destroy the dark wizard." A wand held by a man.”

Track, weaken, disarm...

Magical animals become Pokémon.

However, it was precisely by working on a differentiated track that he avoided competition with other powerful mages in the "red ocean field" of magic, and became a master in a unique way - in a sense Speaking of, a powerful spellcaster comparable to Dumbledore.

To be honest, this also inspired the three little wizards present.

The Weasley twins believed that this was a powerful example of 'interest is the best teacher', and they once again strengthened their determination to delve into the 'field of pranks'.

Bourne feels that with the precedent of Scamander, who can deny that a wizard who dual-wields an alchemical chainsword and a wand cannot become a great wizard?

(Grand Sorcerer is a title given by Dumbledore, which can only be obtained by wizards with high strength and high prestige.)
"found it!"

Professor Scamander suddenly stopped, raised his wand, and stopped the group of people following him.

The guide bug has chased the dark wizard.
-
Even though the pain was cut off, Voldemort still couldn't control Quirrell like this and ran all the way back to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor of the castle.

One of his kidneys was shattered and had to be treated. If you delay for too long, even if the wizard has a tougher body than the Muggle, he will still die.

Therefore, after moving as fast as Spider-Man for a mile or two, Voldemort finally stopped, picked up his wand and began to recite a spell on "his" body.

The wounds on Quirrell's body healed quickly, and the broken internal organs in his body were repaired, but the blood lost could not be replaced.

In addition, using this "healing spell" consumes a lot of magic power, and Quirrell is actually on the verge of losing his strength now.

"S-Sir..."

Quirrell pleaded.

"...Let me take a break, just for 2 minutes. I really have no energy left."
