Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

What is the happiest thing for European children in October?Preparing for Halloween of course!Dudley hadn't quite gotten used to the crazy enthusiasm for monsters and monsters.

Throughout the month, everyone has been focusing on this topic, decorating the auditorium, corridors, dormitories...everywhere they can see, guessing what novel activities will be held for Halloween this year. There are rumors that Dumbledore has booked a skeleton dance troupe, but Mai Professor Ge quickly denied it, and others made up other rumors, but they never tired of it.

The damp cold air caused more and more people to catch colds and fevers. Ms. Pomfrey was very busy, but the Gryffindor team was training rain or shine. Captain Wood had several famous sayings, such as: If you can't win, you will die. On the field; training must not be interrupted unless a blade comes down from the sky.

It rained continuously for nearly a week, but Harry was asked to train to "find the Golden Snitch in a complex environment". He was almost soaked through and shivering from the cold.

He wanted to rush back to Gryffindor Castle, take a hot bath, and relax in front of the common room fire with a joke book.

However, by chance, he was dragged to the office by Filch, who looked unkind. In the end, Nick, who was almost headless, rescued him and invited him to the death anniversary party.

Harry found Dudley the next day: "I think it will be interesting! Ron and Hermione both agreed. I think Dudley will be interested!"

"Oh, no! It's not the first day you've met me. I'm most afraid of ghosts. If I don't go, I won't go!" Dudley waved his hand quickly and ran away as fast as he could. He didn't care about the ghosts in Hogwarts. Not interested, because he received a new task issued by the system:

[Complete the trigger plot: Halloween Celebration, automatically accept the hunting mission (lv.5)]

[Hunting mission (lv.5): Kill the basilisk and obtain "Snake Fang". ]

[Task reward: Random C-level sub-skill orb*1, random C-level enchanted equipment*1, 2000 gold galleons. ]

[Failure Penalty: None]

[Task time limit: None]

[Difficulty tip: It is very dangerous, and the snake's fangs are important plot props. ]

Finally receiving the task of killing the basilisk, Dudley was a little excited. It was rare that there was neither a failure penalty nor a task time limit, so he had enough time to think about countermeasures.

There is no doubt about the strength of the basilisk, otherwise Salazar Slytherin would not think that a monster alone could fulfill his wish to bloodbath Hogwarts.

But Dudley has no idea how strong the basilisk is. The description in the novel can only be called ambiguous. Except for the inexplicable Myrtle, the basilisk has been messing around, but it has only petrified a few students and a dog. The cat (without even really making eye contact) neither swallowed anyone up nor sent anyone to death with snake venom. Even when it took Ginny away, it was careful not to hurt her with its fangs.

Myrtle's story is even more outrageous. The ghosts in Hogwarts can all communicate normally. How clever were the school's management back then that they didn't ask Myrtle what happened to her? He believed Tom Riddle's accusations and fired Hagrid for no reason, even though there were no spider bites on Myrtle's body.

However, being in Hogwarts, Dudley knew that complaining had no meaning. Whatever existed was reasonable. He had to confirm with his own eyes what was going on with the basilisk before deciding what tactics to adopt.

The Basilisk first appeared on Halloween, when the students were partying in the auditorium, and the Harry trio came out of the death anniversary party hosted by Nearly Headless Nick and saw the petrified cat.

Seeing that Halloween is approaching day by day, Dudley is practicing various tactical moves every day, as well as the ability to identify locations by listening to sounds while blindfolded, to prepare for the battle against the Basilisk.

Although there is no penalty for failure in the mission, Dudley knows very well that the Basilisk is by no means as "otherworldly" as in the movie. Once he loses, he will most likely give the Basilisk a tooth sacrifice, and there is no need for the system to do so. Issue penalties.

Although he did not have Harry's halo as the protagonist, Dudley had other honors. With the twins' Marauder's Map, he drew a more detailed map of the castle, highlighting the location and direction of the water pipes that could be found.

Just like the stairs in Hogwarts, the water pipes in this magical castle will also change their positions over time. This transfer is irregular and even many water pipes are completely unreasonable. For example, there is a sewer pipe leading downwards from upstairs. But when he went downstairs, he couldn't find it at all, which made Dudley very distressed.

The added difficulty hint for this mission is even more interesting. Dudley once thought that if he was hard-hearted and ignored the entire plot and did not pursue the mission rewards, Harry would also rely on the halo of the protagonist to control the mission. Both the basilisk and the diary were solved, but this difficulty prompt seemed to want to tell him that wealth and wealth were found in danger, and the true value of this hunting mission was far beyond the surface.

Dudley speculated that this should be related to the main core of the entire Harry Potter story - the destruction of Horcruxes. There are roughly three methods of destroying Horcruxes in the story, namely the serpent's fang, the dark magic fire curse, and the Gryffindor curse. In addition to the sword, even as powerful as Dumbledore could not destroy the fragments of Voldemort's soul in the Horcrux.

Among these three methods, Dudley is not a Gryffindor, so naturally he cannot draw the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat; his magic power is still at the level of a squib, let alone the use of the Fire Curse. Even if he can barely use it, I'm afraid the castle will be burned down before the Horcrux is solved.So in the end, he actually only had one choice, which was to obtain the basilisk's fangs.

In this way, the situation is very clear. He can only become stronger by actively participating in the plot, completing tasks and receiving rewards. Only when he becomes stronger can he cope with future challenges. If he chooses to lie down, he will become cannon fodder in the wizard war. Don't expect to eat death. The disciples will let him go, he is now a famous "Mudblood" on the list, and even Vernon and Peggy will be in danger.

On October 10st, the entire castle was immersed in a festive atmosphere. Not only were there no classes, students in third grade and above could also go to Hogsmeade Village with the consent of their guardians. This was also the happiest time for many students.

The Bounty Association settled the matter that day very cleanly, and not a single bit of news about the three strong men who died in the dark alley spread, as if nothing had happened.

Dudley was very impressed by the strength of the masked man. He was different from all wizards. His magic was used to enhance his own strength and speed, and he used cold weapons to kill people. It was like a time-travelling character from Assassin's Creed. people.

In other words, he may have killed a lot of people, but he never used a single dark magic spell.Taking off his mask and changing his clothes, he might be an ordinary waiter, driver, or even a student.

This also gave Dudley a good inspiration. If his magic power has not grown, he can also become a strong man through other routes.
