Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 242 The Magic of the Warehouse Gate

Mo Lin didn't hide anything, and said: "The reason is very simple. We were all deceived by this door. It wasn't broken at all, but was cast with a confusion spell."

"That's impossible. I checked and found no trace of the Confusion Curse." The bearded wizard on the side retorted.

"That's because the door itself has all kinds of powerful magic. Your spells are invalid on this door. How do you check if there is a confusion spell on the invalid spell?" Molin was noncommittal.

"Then how to open this door?" Alton couldn't help asking, none of them could understand what Mo Lin was saying.

"Give me the key...well, give me that hammer." Molin gestured to Augustine, and Augustine handed the key to Molin.

Mo Lin took the bronze-colored hammer. There were various strange patterns engraved on it, which looked gaudy, but he knew that these patterns were a very powerful magic engraving. Without this hammer, It is impossible for anyone to open this door.

Maureen fumbled twice at the spike on the door curtain, then moved his hand about five inches to the right of the spike, and tapped the hammer there.

Click!
The entire door curtain shook twice, and then returned to tranquility.

"Okay, the door is open." Maureen returned the hammer to Augustine.

"That's it?" Augustine felt a little weird. When Mo Lin swung the hammer just now, he didn't even hit the spike. How could it be considered that the door was opened?

"You can come and have a look, Minister." Maureen pointed to the door curtain.

Augustine walked over dubiously, opened a corner of the door curtain, and leaned in half of his body, but this time his body did not lean out from the other side. After a while, he withdrew his body, looking very surprised.

"It's really open?"

Augustine looked at Mo Lin's eyes meaningfully, which was really unbelievable, but he still didn't quite understand why the nails were deviated?

But Maureen had already crouched down, groped in the corner of the door frame for a while, and pushed the raised stone: "Although I don't know what this stone is, it is used on the outside of the warehouse door. The Displacement Charm, or the Confusion Charm was used on you, probably to make you misplace the lock, so it's useless for you to hit the spike with a hammer, because it would hit the wrong place."

Mo Lin struggled to break off the stone. The stone was only the size of a thumb, so it was not noticeable at all. He showed the brown stone to everyone.

Alton said in surprise: "I remember this stone. This is the confusion stone. Last time, a black wizard brought it from Nigeria. The confusion spell on this stone is extremely powerful. Last time, a person was affected by this confusion stone." , always thought that he was dead, a ghost, not a living person, and then jumped off the cliff, but shouldn’t it be confiscated in the warehouse? So—”

How powerful is this confusion stone?

Mo Lin quickly let go of his hand and pointed at the Confusion Stone with his wand. He didn't want to be affected by this kind of thing, and he wouldn't even know whether he was alive or dead.

"Obviously, it should have been brought here from the warehouse. According to the wishes of that person, everyone who is near this door will confuse the location of this nail, and deliberately prevent you from entering the warehouse. If you don't If you remove this stone, even if you have the key, you will never be able to open the lock correctly. So it is not that the warehouse door is broken, but that you are under the confusion spell." Molin explained.

There was silence in the corridor, and everyone stared at Mo Lin in disbelief. No one expected that these well-founded words would come from a first-year student.

From their point of view, breaking the spell should be to use violence to control violence. It needs to use the spell to dispel the magic, but everyone saw Mo Lin's actions throughout the whole process, and he even only cast a simple tracing spell. , other than that, no magic was used, just reasoning.

It's amazing!
"But Maureen, how do you know?" Alton couldn't help asking.

"Oh, this! When Mr. Arnold...Mr. Singer saw me last time, he said that I have the talent to decipher magic, so he gave me some book lists. I found those books in the school library and learned a lot about magic. .Grandpa, now you know how peaceful I am at school, and I study hard every day!"

Mo Lin's tone was serious, and in order to convince everyone, he said seriously: "I often study at one or two o'clock in the morning, forgetting to eat and sleep."

Grandpa Alton scratched his head in doubt, looking a little disbelieving, but there seemed to be no other reason besides this statement.

Bobby Singer on the side was giggling. Seeing Maureen's serious look, he almost believed it.

"Okay, since the door of this warehouse has been solved, you all go out first! It's not your business to intervene here, as long as Mr. Singer and I are here."

Augustine glanced at the other Ministry of Magic staff, and they all left the place wisely.

Alton was also preparing to leave, after all, what was in the warehouse was not his business.He pulled Mo Lin, ready to take Mo Lin out.

But Arnock said: "Mr. Walker, your grandson will borrow me for a few minutes first. I have a good relationship with him, and I will take him in to learn a lot."

Mo Lin looked helpless, what do you mean by borrowing a few minutes?

Alton said quickly: "Okay, I am very relieved to let Maureen follow Mr. Singer. Maureen, you must be obedient, and don't touch the things inside. The things inside are very dangerous."

"I see, Grandpa." Maureen shrugged.

Only Augustine, Arnock, and Maureen were left at the warehouse door. Augustine glanced at Maureen. It was strange that this kid solved the problem just now, but because some things in the warehouse still need to be done. With Nock's help, he thought that Mo Lin seemed a bit extraordinary, so he also acquiesced in Mo Lin's stay.

"Mr. Singer, you designed the magic mechanism of this gate, and you are the most familiar with this warehouse. Please help if necessary." Augustine said politely.

"It's okay." Anok waved his hand.

Augustine had already opened the door curtain and walked in, followed by Anok and Maureen.It is a warehouse that can be used to store dangerous black magic items. You don't need to think about how heavily guarded it is. There are countless guardian magics inside, and it is difficult to break into it even with a key.

Mo Lin originally thought he would see rows of dark shelves, with dangerous black magic items in various containers and glass bottles, such as brains soaked in yellow embalming fluid, magic books tied with iron chains, etc. .

But Maureen didn't see any of these things, he only saw the entrance of a maze.

"The maze in this warehouse was designed by me. Even if you have a key to enter, you still have to face this maze!" Arnock said to Mo Lin with some complacency.

"Why am I not surprised at all?" Maureen yawned.

Arnock stretched out his hand and flicked Maureen's head: "You should say 'wow, you're amazing', and it won't be wrong to say more compliments."

Mo Lin said dryly with no expression on his face: "Wow, you are amazing."

"The expression is not in place!" Anok flicked Mo Lin's head again angrily, "Do it all over again."

Maureen sighed.
