curse the world at hogwarts

As he slipped down the water pipe, Rhine had only one thought in his mind -

With such a big slide, it would be a shame not to change it to Wizards and Witches Forward 2.0...

Then, he flew completely out of the end of the pipe and fell headfirst into the messy sediment below.

It was different from the memory where nothing happened if he fell down. If he hadn't tilted his head to the side in an emergency, there would have been a one-eyed dragon in Hogwarts from now on, who would stand in front of Mad-Eye's door all day long asking him where the prosthetic eye was. Sold.

"call--"

Rhine took a deep breath and felt his heart beating faster than a snare drum.

He had indeed expected Xiao Fu to take action. After all, the other party was going to come down no matter what, but he didn't say how to bring down "Judy", which aroused Rhine's vigilance.

Here, Rhine is actually in trouble——

Although he had the same goal as Xiaofu and could trick Judy into pretending, he was very afraid that this guy would use his recovered strength to possess her.

Ever since, there was a sudden burst of protective magic on him, but being knocked down was definitely not part of Rhine's plan...

"Anyway," he shrugged, "it's still a mistake...ah!"

Something suddenly hit him on the head, and its sharp edges hit the Tianling Cap, causing Rhine's vision to go dark.

When he covered the back of his head and recovered, he found a familiar black leather notebook lying quietly on his lap.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the diary is open at the moment, and lines of seemingly urgent questions appear.

"Are you OK?"

"What was it just now?"

"..."

Rhine, who was still in Judy's state at this moment, suddenly felt bored.

I’ve already seen you, what’s the point of pretending to be so stupid?

In his opinion, Xiao Fu was just acting by chance, trying to pray for an opportunity from the showdown to give his opponent a chance to lose his head.

"Mr. Tom Riddle," a sneer appeared on Rhine's face, "You have been acting for so long, are you tired?"

He knew that Xiao Fu could see him, and there was no need for him to write anything specifically. In the past, it was just for the sake of being weak.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, a line of text appeared on the diary.

"How long have you known?"

"Haha..." Rhine spread his hands, "You take your time and guess."

He closed the diary with a "pop" sound, intending to lock it in the box and hand it over to Dumbledore for disposal when he got out.

But when he touched his waist, Rhine was dumbfounded.

My retractable bag?

How big is my telescopic bag?

After carefully searching his whole body, Rhine faced the reality without tears.

It was probably because when he was sliding in the water pipe just now, the constant scratching caused his pocket to hang up.

Although most of it contains reserve raw materials that he can use at any time, as well as a small amount of change, the thrifty heart that Rhine brought to him in his previous life is aching faintly!

"Fortunately...this is not lost."

He touched the crystal bottle hung around his neck and tied up with a chain, and tried to comfort himself.

If even this was gone, he would rather give up this hard-won opportunity than take even one step forward.

After regaining his energy, Rhine used magic to forcibly bind the diary that was shaking and trying to open it, stuffed it into the pocket of his school uniform, and went forward to explore.

Under the fluorescent light, the underground space that had not been opened for countless years slowly appeared in front of Rhine.

He even had a moment where he wondered if a swarm of bats were about to descend on him, which would inspire him to become the Dark Knight.

Along the way along the messy cave, he passed over various small animals and even human bones, and finally came to the door of the legendary secret chamber.

Looking at the viper snaking on the iron door, Rhine took out his wand and mentally reviewed the steps he had rehearsed many times before issuing the command in Parseltongue.

As he got stuck, the viper began to move, and the door finally slowly opened.

Rhine approached very cautiously and looked inside with his peripheral vision to confirm that there was nothing unexpected inside.

If he had met those big eyes as soon as he entered the door, he would probably have become an unknown basilisk daddy.

Even so, when Rhine walked through the huge chamber space and came to Slytherin's grotesque big face sculpture, his heart was still filled with a strong sense of unreality.

"What a famous scene!" Rhine murmured to himself, "Maleficent, should you give me an achievement reward or something?"

Maleficent rolled her eyes in a good way: "He started having random thoughts again."

Rhine felt bored and could only sigh secretly while starting to climb up Slytherin's beard.

He hoped that there would be some achievement, which would at least mean that he was just playing games instead of trying to wake up and subdue the basilisk like a fool...

After climbing to a high place, Rhine felt that this place should be condescending enough, so he began to chant sentences in Parseltongue.

The sound of his stuck phlegm echoed in the deep and empty secret room. Things that usually seemed funny finally showed a hint of weirdness and evil at this moment.

Rhine suddenly felt the statue under his feet tremble slightly, and then he keenly heard something scratching through the stone.

Then, the big mouth of the Slytherin statue opened automatically, and a big, stupid head popped out.

Rhine's heart shrank and his whole body trembled slightly.

Not only because he was afraid of this behemoth, but also because he wanted to...

ugly refusal.

Unlike Sophia, who has been looking at her for a long time and has a clear face and a dragon bloodline bonus, this basilisk is real in one word...

Ox.

Rhine's head was bubbling, and the Basilisk was in a daze.

You know, it has been almost 50 years since I last woke up to shed my skin.

Even the most powerful, durable, and incredible creature in the world will still feel a sense of sluggishness when suddenly waking up after sleeping for a long time, and the body will also feel itchy and uncomfortable.

Different from the original plot, because it was the first awakening, the basilisk had not yet shed its skin, and Rhine did not see the snake shed when he came in.

"What are you stunned for?" Maleficent roared in Rhine's head.

Rhine woke up from a dream, quickly gathered up his distracted mind, and raised the wand in his hand.

"O creature troubled by the body!"

He groaned in a middle-class voice that even he was extremely ashamed of.

"In the name of the Queen of the Black Forest, I save all weak lives and control all things in nature..."

Yes, he was chanting a spell.

Curse: The curse of the heart of nature.

If Maleficent was here, there would actually be no need to do any of this.

She already possesses the conditions required for the spell, including bloodline, status, name, etc., just like she did when she transformed into the crow Diava.

Wave your little hand, say "become a human", call it a day and follow it for the rest of your life.

But everything about Rhine is borrowed, and he must use magical language to build an overall environment that can support him.

Just like a certain melee mage Qian Doufu who usually swings his staff to hit people, he will take away a life with one strike.

When he faces powerful powers such as Balrogs and Ringwraiths, he has to use chanting to buff himself, right?

To sum up, in short...

In Maleficent's case, it's a strong claim;

Here in the Rhine, it's a weak claim.
