Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 277 Thestral Carriage
--boom!

--boom!

The giant monster landed heavily on the ground, and the eight light green eyes on its cheeks gleamed with cruel and bloody light.

The six arms of 'Les Finley' almost touched McGuffin just now.

He knew that this Ms. Gray in front of him was a bit unreliable.

What foolproof!
Fortunately, Grandpa can fly, otherwise...

McGuffin was in a cold sweat.

The moment McGuffin met the alienated monster of 'Les Finley' (2V8), he knew something was wrong.

Immediately jumped up, and silently cast [Levitation Curse] on himself for a moment.

Get yourself off the ground quickly.

Now it seems that thanks to his quick response at that time, otherwise, he would have been torn to pieces long ago.

After thinking about it in his heart, McGuffin turned his head and stared at Ms. Gray, who was a little anxious beside her. He didn't say much, but urged.

"Take me back to the old classroom below!"

--boom!

--boom!

Again.

The six-armed, eight-eyed monster struggled to leap and catch the MacGuffin.

It jumps higher!

This made him look nervously at the monsters below, and raised his height a bit.

"I can't do it...or it's useless!" At this time, Ms. Gray on the side gave McGuffin an answer.

"what!"

"That thing has established a magical connection with you... If you are transferred to the bottom, then this thing will also be transferred to the bottom."

A terrifying roar began to resound on the ground.

It's like the sound of people wailing, like snakes, and the roar of giant monsters.

The monster fell to the ground and jumped up vigorously again...

McGuffin watched the monster's face getting closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger, and its six arms stretched out...

Fuck!
"There are many obstacles!"

McGuffin hurriedly used [Barrier Curse] to shoot it down.

"Think about it! I think this thing is jumping higher and higher!"

As he spoke, he was trying to improve his height again, trying to think of other ways, what kind of magic spell...to solve this situation.

In short, now is not a good time to complain about the ghost.

McGuffin can only look at the parchment system in his mind (which has not been played for a long time)... See if there is any way?
……

(An unbreakable oath, a variant oath reached with Les Finley. Those who violate it will be cast a voodoo spell and become [Blood Heart Puppet]-under the complete control of the other party)

Vow 1: Both parties undertake to...

Vow 2:  …

Vow 3:  …

(Note: Les Finley, the oath-taker of the other party, has lost his mind and is in a state of magical mutation...

The oath has been revoked and transformed into some kind of quest mark. 】

(McGuffin just saw this thing. It seems that he was right. This oath is indeed a big pit...Fortunately, Les Finley killed himself, but now the situation...seems to be worse!)
McGuffin continued to look at what was left on the system.

Talent points: 0 points

Note: 234 is paying attention to the seeds of the world tree.

"Tasks, a large series of scattered cheating tasks."

"I can't finish it now, the only useful task..."

"It's [The Legendary Event of Hufflepuff College]. The information about the World Tree in this quest is indeed about to be clarified. But without the approval of Sprout's professor, this quest will not be settled!..."

"Skills are not very useful..."

"Talent, nor..."

"Ok?"

McGuffin quickly noticed a little difference from the parchment system interface.

How could this poisonous tongue system remind him so 'friendly'?

The text of magic burst and magic return (to be activated)... is blinking.

It seems that the activation of the world tree should have a great effect on the system.

The last time the burst of magic power turned into an active activation, it still relied on the burst of the Philosopher's Stone...

This time both talents are activated...

But the key now is that he doesn't have any talent at all. If there is an accident, it is estimated that according to the experience last time, it only takes one magic spell to make him do it.

McGuffin shook his head in his heart, but still got rid of the thought.

But at this moment, he heard Lady Gray next to him say to him,
"Perhaps there is a way!... That is, you activate the seeds of the World Tree."

"As I said, it will give you some gifts, especially after the first activation. During the time when you are connected to the World Tree seed, you temporarily enter a state...a state where you can deeply experience the flow of magic power."

"Although this state cannot exist forever, it can allow you to cast any magic you have seen... and there will be a qualitative change... It is equivalent to a spell that breaks through the boundaries of magic in a small amount..."

"This won't cause the alienation of magic power!"

McGuffin was somewhat intimidated by what Ms. Gray just said, and he asked hastily.

"Do you think the alienation and distortion of magic power is easy?"

"Let me explain it to you like this! You know silently! That is a low-intensity alienation of magic power...Although it is far from reaching the level of breaking through the boundaries of magic, it is mixed with the negative emotions (pain, loneliness, anger, etc.) that the host has suppressed for many years. This time, the magic power in the host is far stronger than ordinary wizards... and little wizards can't bear this terrible power at all, and they often lose their lives before the age of 11!"

"But even this kind of low-intensity and out-of-control magic alienation requires the little wizard to accumulate negative emotions for many years, and it can only be achieved by suppressing the magic power."

"And what you have in your hand is just a seed of the World Tree. It's not the real World Tree. Do you think it's a treasure in legends and myths? Even the famous Philosopher's Stone in modern times can't break the boundaries of magic, causing the alienation of magic power in the true sense..."

"In short, you will be safe and sound. If you want to leave here, connect to the world tree, and then recall a powerful magic that can deal with that monster. Just try it."

After Ms. Gray finished speaking, she floated aside and let him decide what to do.

For a moment McGuffin could not make up his mind.

But at present, whether it is the parchment system in his mind, or Ms. Gray's prompt, and the monster below who can't wait to jump up and tear him apart, they all tell him that there seems to be only one way now...

"Okay, just do it!"

McGuffin made up his mind, and while guarding against that monster, he began to inject his magic power into the oval, shiny world tree seed as Ms. Gray said.

The egg-sized seeds shimmered slightly and began to swell as they floated in the air.

Like a flower bud, it begins to bloom layer by layer, like a rose carved from jade.

Finally, the shell peeled off, a small bud began to emerge, and the two halves of emerald green leaves shone with fluorescence.

McGuffin found that the sapling of the world tree in front of him had an illusory shape... just like Ms. Gray not far away.

Stretch out your hand to touch it, and pass through it in one go.

"This?"

But before he could react, a fiery, exciting feeling began to spread throughout his body.

McGuffin suddenly felt that everything in front of him brightened up, and all the memories in the back of his mind were instantly vivid, and even all the magic spells he knew began to replay and combine in his mind... At this moment, he even felt that he was omnipotent.

It is different from the unprecedented surge of magic power that I felt when I touched the Sorcerer's Stone last time, and the feeling of seeing through every trace of magic power.

This time he was only able to feel the way of magic power, a more efficient and concise flow track kept appearing in his feelings.

McGuffin knew that he didn't have much time, and he had to quickly cast a spell to resolve this crisis.

What kind of spell can kill that monster.

Without thinking about it, the weird magic that burned Voldemort to death suddenly popped up in his mind... that creature that burned with black flames, similar to thestrals... that strange magic that was automatically brought by the magic wand of thestral tail feathers.

His heart was pounding, and a strange confidence surged in his heart, making McGuffin feel that he would be able to complete this magic again.

He waved his wand, following the urge in his heart, to summon that magic again... and this time he could do it better.

Every trace of inspiration in the brain collided with the feedback of the magic power of the whole body.

The McGuffin waved his wand in the air as he felt it, calling to the Thestrals.

The black flame streaked across the air, leaving a burning 'Z' trace.

Ms. Gray looked at the black flame warily, wondering how this little wizard could cast such magic.

——Is it [Fierce Fire Curse]?
No!What kind of magic is this?
She kept recalling the memory fragments engraved in her soul... She found nothing, and the only thing she knew was that this kind of magic was rare and dangerous even in her era... It could even be said to break through the boundaries of magic.

This little wizard can't spell backfire!

"I knew I wouldn't give him such an idea!"

Ms. Gray blamed herself a little.

As the spell was cast, McGuffin trembled all over, his face was bloodless and pale.

But it's all worth it.

Just like in memory, a blue ripple emerged from the wand, and then began to sway like waves on a lake,

The sound of the waves began to echo throughout the room at the same time.

Then the space in front of the McGuffin was like a shattered mirror.

An oval-shaped portal appeared, with a rounded and smooth border, and inside it was a rippling jet-black mirror constantly rippling back and forth.

The difference from before is that this time the mirror surface is clearer, and around the mirror surface, there are also pillar-shaped portals formed by some black smoke skulls.

Then, time began to flow slowly, almost to a standstill.

McGuffin could see the six-armed, eight-eyed monster (Les Finley) jumping up to catch him...in an awkward posture (tooth and claw stretched out, six long arms outstretched), the extremely ugly face of the board stared at him, staying in mid-air.

But never close.

The ghost next to her... Ms. Gray is also slowly opening her mouth at a slow speed of 1/640 times.

Immediately afterwards, the pitch-black mirror began to shake violently, and 'water splashes' splashed everywhere.

Then the Thestral appeared. Unlike before, this time there was no black flame on its body, just like a living Thestral.

Not only that... A black and white illusion made of corpses and skeletons, a translucent road stretched in front of McGuffin. (He's in mid-air!)
Thestrals ran out from the black mirror and approached him along the road.

And this Thestral is pulling a carriage. (Like the Thestral carriage at the beginning of Hogwarts)

McGuffin realized immediately... He actually summoned the school's Thestral carriage.

However, more importantly, how... How can ordinary thestrals communicate with their wands, and even come here through this special magic mirror.

Thestrals were very enthusiastic towards MacGuffin, licking MacGuffin's magic wand with their tongues, touching his body with that slightly scary head from time to time.

It even held McGuffin's sleeve in its mouth, trying to let him sit in the carriage behind.

(This situation made the corners of McGuffin’s mouth twitch. This has been confirmed. At that time, the Thestrals were as if they had been drugged. They gave them a crazy roller coaster ride with extreme excitement, and then rushed to the Forbidden Forest to carry out the "horse birth event"... It was indeed his fault!)
Before McGuffin could think about it... what was going on.

The mirror formed by that call began to flicker, just like those big old TV screens from the 80s and 90s.

The black and white snowflakes kept shaking.

However, this is probably not something that can be fixed without patting.

McGuffin can feel from his body... It is almost time for the World Tree to bring an increase.

He must quickly decide how to use this magic to help him get out of the current situation.
