Hogwarts Wizard of the Deep

Chapter 171
ding ding-

The blackened brass bell brings a touch of life to the dark and dead store.

The moment Linde stepped in, a flame rose from the fireplace made of stones, bringing a burst of soot.

Candles on several candlesticks made of human skulls hanging on the wall also burst into flames.

They bring a little light here.

At this time, he was standing in the shop. On the mat in a glass box next to him, there was a withered human hand, a stack of blood-stained cards and a glass eyeball that was motionless.

Grim masks peered down from the walls, various human bones lay on the counters, and rusty tines hung from the ceiling.

But the most conspicuous thing here are not them, but an iron cabinet standing beside the gate.

The cabinet is about two meters high, and its proportions are humanoid. There is even an iron statue of a female face directly above the cabinet, and there are many round-head rivets and hinges on the two door covers as decorations.

"The Iron Maiden?!"

The word popped up in Linde's mind when he saw it. This cabinet is exactly the same as the famous torture device in history.

"That's a disappearing cabinet. It was originally a pair. A two-way passage can be established between the two cabinets. It's a pity that one is broken, and the other one has gone to nowhere." The hoarse voice came from the depths of the store with oily emphasis. Pass it out.

Linde turned his head and saw a hunched man behind the counter. He looked no more than 50 or [-] years old, but he was smoothing back a few strands of greasy hair with his hands.

"Welcome. What is the gentleman's name?"

"Michael, Michael Myers." Linde said.

"Oh, Mr. Miles. It looks like you're here for the first time, so what can I do for you?"

"I heard that your store is the best and most complete in London." Linde said, "And I just want a magic wand when I come here."

"You've chosen very wisely, wand, and yes, it's stupid to register a wand with those fellows."

As he spoke, he walked inside, "Please wait a moment!"

When Linde saw him go in, he idly cast curious eyes at the surrounding objects.

Get rid of those miscellaneous things that look scary, dirty and mysterious.Linde finally set his sights on the hand protected by the glass box he saw before,

It was placed on a mat, and it was a withered human left hand.

When he saw it, Linde thought of what it was.

"Hand of Glory"

Linde was fortunate enough to read some related articles in the restricted section of Hogwarts some time ago.

It is the withered, pickled hand of a hanged man, usually designated as the left hand,

If the man was hanged for murder, pickle the murdering hand.

A hand of honor and a candle - a candle made from the fat from the corpse of a criminal who deserved to die on the gallows.

A candle made in this way, lit and held in the Hand of Glory as a candlestick, will immobilize all who face it, or open any door it encounters.

Typically, thieves use it in total darkness to see otherwise, open locked doors, and immobilize guards.The Hand of Glory is also hailed as a source of illumination in some Dark Arts ceremonies.

Of course, if there is no corresponding candle, but an ordinary candle, then the Hand of Glory emits a light that only the person holding it can see.It is also a very useful tool.

And in an eighteenth-century magic book "Little Albert", the method of making the Hand of Glory was described in detail. Linde had also seen this magic book in the restricted area, but for safety reasons, he did not read it. Seen.

However, he still didn't pick it up to look at it. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't plan to use anything that appeared in this store.

At this moment, Bo Jin also came out from the back room.Holding a wand of various shapes in his hand,

He put these wands on the counter, "This is the only one in stock. In fact, not many people buy this item. After all, most wizards' wands will always accompany them for a lifetime."

Linde nodded and looked at the counter. There were five wands on the cabinet, and he noticed one of them at first glance.

It was a black wand, shaped like a bamboo knot, and shorter than his own.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and picked it up.

"This is left by a wizard who was torn apart by a werewolf some time ago." Bojin said,
The handle of the wand is smooth and looks like it has been with its original owner for a long time.Linde picked it up and created a beam of light in the air.

"The operation is a bit sluggish!" Linde commented lightly.Then he put it down again, and picked up the other wands one by one to try.

During this period, no matter what actions Linde made with his wand, Bojin remained expressionless, showing no defensiveness at all.

Clearly, the old Knockturn Alley guy has his own backs, which is to be expected.Otherwise, people guessed that it would have been bought for zero yuan by an unknown number of people.

After trying the five wands one by one, Linde finally picked up the bamboo wand.The other four are not as good as it.

"How much is it?"

"Fifty Galleons!"

……

Linde had found out from Ron before that the subsidy given by Hogwarts for the little wizard's first wand was two-thirds, which meant that the cost of buying a wand for the first time was one-third of the price.

For example, the wand that Ron borrowed money to buy this semester cost 21 Galleons.

And Bo Jin doubled on this basis, obviously the lion opened his mouth.Not to mention, as he himself said, these wands belonged to dead people, and selling this thing was obviously a worthless business.Even if he didn't pick up the wand directly, the price he charged would certainly not be much higher.

"Sir, obviously we don't want to waste time bidding each other out. It's normal for illegal wands to have a premium, but fifty Galleons is not normal."

Linde said lightly that he really didn't want to waste time on unnecessary things like bargaining, but it would be even worse if he were to be that stupid fool.

"I think thirty Galleons is a fair price."

As he spoke, Linde looked at him coldly, "Stop wasting time on this."

"Thirty?! A very good price." Bo Jin nodded, obviously seeing that this guy is a guy who hates wasting time on trivial matters.

Linde nodded, and then took out three gold Galleons from his pocket.In order to facilitate the calculation of accounts, he collected Garen in batches of ten.

Bo Jin took it, and then said with a smile, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

Linde nodded, then turned around and walked out of the store.People in the alleyway also cast interested eyes on him, but no one tried to come up.

Facing their eyes, Linde walked straight out of Knockturn Alley without stopping.

Back at the Leaky Cauldron, he looked around, but he didn't see any familiar people. After picking up Andersen, he returned to Nott Town.

In the evening, Linde packed up everything and came to the beach.

It held a bamboo wand in its hand and looked at Andersen. "Are you sure you can keep up?"

"Small idea!" Andersen cooed twice.

"Okay, when you reach the depths, there will be driftwood for you to rest." Linde nodded.Then he took off his clothes and plunged into the water.

Tentacles and wings emerged, webbed feet appeared, and an unparalleled sense of power poured into his body.

In the next moment, the water waves burst open suddenly, and walked towards the distance of the sea, but in the blink of an eye, only long trails of white foam were left behind.

This was the first time he tried swimming at full speed. According to his own estimation, the speed was at least over 5000 knots. In conversion, it exceeded [-] meters per hour.

Far beyond the speed of conventional cars and speedboats.This is also the reason why his evaluation of the Fog Dispelling Curse is only "average".

Even if he is now three meters below sea level, the waves created by his fast swimming can be clearly seen by Andersen flying in the sky.

"Quick! Too quick!"

Andersen pushed his speed to the extreme, but he could barely keep up with Linde's.

At this time, Linde in the water was constantly moving his hands and feet. Although the frequency of his movements was not high, his body felt a thrust naturally.

It was as if all the water was pushing him in the direction he wanted to go.

And a steady stream of power is still pouring into his body, ensuring that he will always be in a peak state.

Half an hour later, a distant wave appeared on the vast and calm sea.

The waves came here, and then suddenly a huge wave broke out. After the huge wave dispersed, a figure stood on the constantly churning water.

Standing on the water, Linde looked back, and in the dark sky, a small figure was flying crookedly and flapping its wings.

Seeing this, Linde took out a wooden plank from his pocket and threw it on the sea, "Grow bigger quickly!"

But in the blink of an eye, the plank became like a raft, floating quietly on the calmed sea.

Andersen flew lower and lower towards this side, then landed on the board and rolled twice in succession.

"I can't keep up with..."

"I've played it very slowly!" Linde said helplessly.

He wasn't joking, he jumped out of the water like a dolphin and circled around, and then fell back into the water.He had slowed down several times by that time watching Andersen fall behind him.

"Hey! You're still too young. Take a rest!" Linde just stepped on the sea water, looking at Andersen, who was panting on the sea surface.

"I don't know if I can successfully induce a storm, but I think it should be possible with the blessing of the sea.

And your role is just in case, in case I go into shock at that time, I need you to take me to a place with a moon. "

As he spoke, Linde looked at the moon in the sky.

"Anyway, you don't need potions for this early step, so let's try it first! I think it will work."

As he spoke, Linde swam to the right again for about a kilometer, then stood half-body in the sea, and raised his bamboo wand towards the sky.

He's going to try to start a storm with just a weather spell.

"Lightning Storm!"

In an instant, a thick black smoke gushed out from between his sticks.Seen from a distance, the smog is even thicker than the burning smog of chemical plants.

This is the first time he has actively used his magic power fully.The magic power flowed out of his wand like a flood, and the surrounding sea water continuously restored the consumed magic power for him.

"This……"

A flash of surprise flashed in Linde's heart. Even if this was his maximum output, the recovery speed given to him by the sea was still much faster than his consumption.

He still didn't feel that his magic power was declining.

He didn't know whether the sea gave him the buff to quickly restore mana or directly replenished his mana.But what she was sure of was that even if he cast this spell for a whole day like this, he still wouldn't feel tired.

So, Linde just raised his wand high and began to release the spell continuously.

The sky was gradually covered by the fog he released, forming thick and low-pressure dark clouds.There are also streaks of lightning.

The wind began to blow against him, and the sky began to rain lightly.

Linde is still standing.

The sea level gradually swelled up, and the waves began to churn.Linde's body also began to float with the waves, but no matter what, his upper body remained on the sea level forever, constantly releasing dense fog towards the sky.

It went on like this for nearly half an hour.

"not enough!"

Linde looked at the dark clouds covering a large part of the sky.At its borders, the smoke continues to dissipate.

When the thunderclouds he released reached a considerable size, the clouds that dissipated naturally were much more than what he released himself.

"Unfortunately, I should have bought two more wands at that time, unless..."

Thinking about it, Linde struggled in his heart.

Oh shit!Done!
Let's talk about the next thing later.

At this time, he had forgotten what he said at the beginning, "just try it first."

He suddenly reached into his pocket with his left hand and took out his own wand.Start waving in the air.

"Since one is not enough, then open dual channels."

Thinking about it, Linde started to wave his left hand.

"Lightning Storm!"

puff!
Like a fart, the wand released a small puff of smoke that smelled like rotten eggs.

Fortunately, the wind and rain are very strong now, and it blows away in one go.

"I knew it, this left hand is really useless!" He complained lightly.

pat!

A tentacle was blown to his face by the strong wind.

"Well……"

He suddenly had a bold idea.

Thinking about it, he actively manipulated the flexible tentacles and rolled up the wand in his left hand.

I don't know if it can be done with tentacles.

"Lightning Storm!"

brush!
A large amount of smoke poured from the tip of the staff.Even because of the wand, there are many more than the bamboo wand.

Estimated to be twice the size of a bamboo wand.

From a distance, the smoke he released now is not much worse than the volcanic ash gushing out after the volcano erupted.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, and spread to him through the water, almost interrupting his spellcasting.

At this time, because of the wind, he could barely keep his body above the water surface.Sometimes when a high wave caught him, huge black bubbles with dense fog floated out before him.

At this time, the thundercloud accumulated on his head had exceeded two kilometers in diameter.

Whoosh!

The strong wind whirls continuously coerces and mates, gradually forming a small water column reaching the sky, forming the scene of a dragon absorbing water.

A huge wave came towards him.

one two Three……

Definitely two stories high!
Over twenty feet.

At this time, bursts of pain and tingling came from his body.It's as if someone used a hammer and a needle to constantly destroy his body.

Just like a gun, even if it has an infinite magazine and keeps firing, overheating of the chamber and barrel is inevitable.And this is his state in the water.Without the blessing of the water body, his body would have been unable to hold on long ago.
