Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 718 Desperate Town
After finishing his meeting with Andre, Anduin stayed in Germany to continue his career as a profiteer.

In the next two days, he met with a large number of local merchants, media personnel, and wizarding celebrities at the German Ministry of Magic to promote and publicize his magical communication system, and at the same time, he had to dispel the concerns of some conservative wizards.

In fact, the commissioning of the magic communication base station in Germany was completed a little later than that in the UK, but the German wizarding community, as the Silver Flash Trading Company, pushed this magic communication system to the bridgehead of European countries, so Anduin gave priority to taking care of the business here.

And the magic communication network that will be released is also named [Magic Network] by Anduin. The next series of communication, media, entertainment, and shopping content will be built on this platform. No wonder he attaches so much importance to it.

At the same time, in Hogwarts on the other side, Harry's foursome launched a surveillance campaign against Snape.

During two consecutive days of continuous monitoring, Harry and the others discovered that Snape had indeed become a little sneaky recently, as if the other party was also following someone.

The strangeness of the other party made them more sure that Snape was brewing some conspiracy. During this period, several people also tentatively reported Snape to Professor McGonagall.

But Professor McGonagall's attitude was similar to Hagrid's. She didn't think that Snape, as a professor, had any evil intentions, and even warned the foursome in turn.

After recognizing the situation in front of them, Harry and the others resolutely decided to use their own strength to defend the property of Anduin and Dumbledore.

And on the day Dumbledore left Hogwarts, Harry and the others found Snape wandering in the corridor of the main tower roguely, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed, but they also knew that Snape was very vigilant, so they didn't follow closely.

But as Snape's moving route gradually became clear, several people quickly guessed the other party's destination, which was the forbidden room at the end of the fourth floor!
"Snape seems to have gone straight to that room. Shall we go back and call for backup? Or release an alert signal?" Ron suggested nervously, looking at the faint back of Snape in the distance.

"Not now, before that guy is stolen and captured, it won't help at all, and it will reveal that we are following him!" Harry stared forward, with a firm tone.

"Then shall we follow?" Neville muttered in a low voice, "If we are caught by surprise, it's not like we don't have a chance to subdue Snape."

"I think you can try it!" Hermione couldn't help but said at this time.

I don't know if it's inflated. After several months of hard training and experience in the ruins dungeon, they all have inexplicable confidence in their own strength.

At this moment, several people even thought that as long as the four of them worked together, it might not be a problem to take down Snape.

"go!"

Harry didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately led several people resolutely towards the end room.

To be honest, the few of them have a lot of psychological shadows about this weird room, but now they can only bite the bullet and rush in.

"boom!"

After Ron unlocked the door with the Unlocking Charm, he kicked the door open, and then Harry, Neville, and Hermione leaned on the door frame and pointed their wands inward. They will fire without hesitation.

But the situation inside the room was beyond everyone's expectations. The statue of the knight they had seen last time had been smashed to pieces.

Lu Wei, on the other hand, was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. Next to it was an automatically playing harp, and the trapdoor on the floor in the center of the room had been opened.

As for Snape's figure, he still disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it, he's already in!" Hermione rushed in after seeing the scene in front of her, "We have to follow quickly, we can't let him get the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Snape is crazy for even daring to destroy the warning statue!" Harry looked at the messy room and clenched his fists angrily.

Then the four of them jumped into the hole under the trapdoor without any hesitation. They had to use practical actions to teach Snape a lesson.

And the four of them felt something was wrong after jumping into the hole, because they couldn't see a ray of light in front of them during the fall, as if they had entered a bottomless abyss.

At the same time, Hermione, who had a keen sense, was even more aware of the abnormalities around her. It took too long for them to fall. Even if the deep pit in front of them was hundreds of people deep, it wouldn't take so long.

And Hermione even faintly felt that the surrounding space seemed to change during the process of falling down, and they might not even be in Hogwarts now!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After the four of Harry fell in the air for more than a minute, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they fell to the wooden floor with a crash.

But what surprised them was that after falling for so long, they didn't feel much pain when they fell. The feeling was similar to falling from a height of more than one meter.

"This... where is this?" Ron rubbed his head, and the cold wind that blew for more than a minute when he fell made his whole face stiff.

And after they all stood up from the ground, they realized that they were in a dimly lit wooden house.

All the surrounding furnishings looked dilapidated, looking out through the window at the edge of the room, it was a gloomy wilderness.

With a faint moonlight, you can see the trees like minions swaying with the wind outside, presenting a spooky atmosphere as a whole.

And on a dining table not far away in the room, several props are neatly placed, and it seems to be several sets of vests.

"It's over! We don't seem to be in Hogwarts anymore!" Ron looked at the strange and dark environment outside, and his voice couldn't help trembling.

"There is something wrong with the passage we fell through!" Hermione drew out her wand and was cautious. "That hole may be a space passage, and judging by the time of the fall, we may have been teleported far away from the school now!"

"What? Then can we go back? I suddenly felt that jumping off rashly didn't seem like a good idea." After seeing Hermione's movements, Neville also drew out his wand in a similar manner, but he was still stiff because of nervousness.

"And there is no sign of Snape at all, and the surrounding scene doesn't look like someone has been here. He should have been teleported here!" Harry also frowned in confusion.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Don't forget, this is the dungeon space created by Professor Wilson. There must be a passage to return. We must first figure out the situation." Although Hermione was also a little flustered, she still forced herself to tell everyone Encouragement.

"Well, let's take a look at the things on the table first, I think I saw a transmission vest!" Harry pointed to the dining table where the equipment was placed.

Immediately afterwards, several people moved to the table, and then they saw four sets of uniform equipment, namely a vest, a pair of goggles, and a pair of wrist guards inlaid with several gemstones. A map made of sheepskin was placed.

"We are indeed in the dungeon!" After seeing these familiar equipment, Harry finally felt relieved.

"By the way, can we be transported back to Hogwarts after we put on the [Transmission Vest] after being knocked down?" Ron picked up a set of vests and put them on quickly.

"Not necessarily, have you forgotten, the teleportation distance of this kind of transmission vest is actually not far, maybe after being knocked down, it will be teleported to a place similar to the ruins dungeon headquarters, maybe it is here!" Hermione was also proficient Put on the equipment, and then said more rationally.

"That is to say, if you want to leave this dungeon, you have to think of other ways, but the most important thing for us now is to stop Snape." Harry still hasn't forgotten their purpose of coming here.

"Well, let's put on the equipment first, and then explore the reality of this dungeon. Even Snape can't find the place where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden so quickly."

After Neville finished speaking, he put on the goggles, and then focused his gaze on the pair of wrist braces, which was the first time he had seen this prop.

[Power Armband]

Quality: Purple (Legendary Item)

Mission props: An armband with mysterious abilities, which can enhance the wearer after certain conditions are triggered, or enable the wearer to obtain certain abilities.

It's a very brief description, but the content described above makes everyone's eyes shine.

"Good guy, I will give you a piece of purple equipment when you come up, this new dungeon is really interesting!"

Although Ron is not as obsessed with legendary props as he was before entering school, he still puts it on his left hand fondly. Then he found that this prop can automatically fit itself after wearing it, which made him I am more happy.

"Hey...you idiot." Hermione held her forehead speechlessly, "Giving such good props as soon as you enter the dungeon also shows the difficulty of this dungeon. Do you think it's the same as the ruins dungeon?"

"Then what do you want me to do? Do you still cry when you see such good equipment?" Ron rolled his eyes unhappily.

On the other side, seeing the two of them bickering at this time, Harry shook his head helplessly, then reached out and picked up the map in the middle of the table, ready to study it.

Unexpectedly, just after he picked up the map, a cold mechanical sound suddenly came from the ears of several people.

【Welcome to the town of despair! 】

[Despair Town, formerly known as Hope Town, once had thousands of residents in this land, and they lived peacefully here. 】

[Until one day, driven by curiosity, a certain resident opened a long-sealed seal! 】

[Afterwards, terror came, the demon that had been dusty for thousands of years was awakened, and the abyss gradually enveloped the entire town. 】

[In this place, everything is soaked in the breath of the abyss, food, water, land, and even the air, all contain terror! 】

[The survivors who strayed into this place can only be freed by completely sealing the demons, otherwise they will be trapped here forever and be gradually submerged by the abyss! 】

【Task】

The first stage: According to the guidance in the map, collect three [Revelation Documents].

The second stage: stronghold defense, it will be displayed on the map after collecting all the [Revelation Documents]. After the defense is successful, the three documents can be synthesized into [Exorcism Book], which is an important prop for sealing demons.

The third stage: Kill the demon entity. After synthesizing [Exorcism Book], the demon will manifest itself, and the location will be displayed on the map.

The fourth stage: Protect the [Exorcism Book] and survive. After killing the demon entity, the [Exorcism Book] will enter the spiritual enlightenment and purification state, and it will not be able to move at that time, so it is necessary to protect the [Exorcism Book] from being After 3 minutes, if the 【Exorcism Book】has not been destroyed, and at least one member survives, the Town of Despair will be successfully purified and the return passage will be opened.

[Note: In the town of Despair, survivors will be affected by the breath of the abyss all the time, and this effect will be displayed in fear value. 】

[The initial fear value of all survivors is zero, and the fear value will automatically increase by 5% every 1 minutes in the town of despair. After being frightened and using contaminated items, the fear value will increase significantly. After staying in the town of despair for more than 3 days, The fear value will be increased by a factor of 10. 】

[When the fear value exceeds 70%, it will attract the attention of the demons in Despair Town. When the fear spell reaches 100%, the member will greatly attract the enemy's hatred and have the possibility of being possessed by the demon! 】

[Evil possession: Everything in Despair Town has the possibility of being possessed by a demon. If a survivor is possessed by a demon, he will lose control of his body. The possessed survivor can regain his sanity under the attack of his teammates. 】

[The fear curse of the member is cleared after the possession is removed. 】

【How to reduce the fear value】

1. The fear value can be slowly reduced at the fire source. At the same time, in [Desperate Town], fire sources such as bonfires and oil lamps can only be ignited by locally produced firelighters, and spells such as 'Ignition Curse' will doesn't work.

2. When you are indoors, the speed of increasing the fear value will be reduced. If there is a light source in the room, the fear value will be slowly reduced.

【Survivors can be revived after death】

Resurrection method: After a survivor dies, [Armlet of Power] will be dropped at the place of death, and other survivors can pick up the armband and resurrect the member at the altar.

The location of the altar will be displayed on the map.

[Currently [The Well of the Abyss] copy is still in the testing stage, the return passage is connected to the secret storage room, which contains any door that can return to Hogwarts, pay attention!Except for returning to any door, please do not touch the rest of the items in the secret storage room at will, and you will be responsible for the consequences! 】

"hiss!"

After listening to the dungeon introduction, the group of four couldn't help but gasp.

Good guy, this [Town of Despair] is simply hell on earth, standing there doing nothing, just breathing is dangerous!

And the task in this dungeon is not too difficult, there are actually four stages, compared to the task of rescuing hostages in the ruins dungeon here, it is almost like playing a house.
