Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 56 Nurmengard

Why are you here?Tangning wanted to curse when she heard this - the thing that brought me here is in your hands, and you still ask me how I got here and whether I have Alzheimer's disease!

Thinking this in her heart, of course Tangning would not say this in her mouth, "Give me back the coat of arms in your hand, and I will go back immediately!"

The thin old man in front of him looked like an enemy rather than a friend. He didn't look like a good person, and he didn't even have a wand in his hand. But if the coat of arms could be retrieved through peaceful means, there was no need to use force.

Skinny Bones pretended not to hear Tangning's words and continued to stumble, "Put down your wand, kid, this is no place for you to act wild!" It was unclear what Skinny Bones did, but Tang Ning immediately felt a change in the air around her.

The peace talks failed and "everyone was petrified!" Tangning started to attack, but the curse actually hit the wall behind Skinny. He reacted quickly!The air gradually condensed, and Tang Ning's movements became slower. Without reciting a spell, Tang Ning sent out another petrification spell, sensing the flow of magic power from before.

This time, Skinny moved to the side just as the petrifying spell was about to hit him, but the difference was that this time, Tangning could see the opponent's movements clearly - his dodge speed had obviously slowed down.

After understanding that skinny people can't dodge skills indefinitely, Tangning dodged another petrification spell?Tangning's armor spell had no effect at all, and he was suffocated by the air.Another petrification spell!This time, Skinny was a little late, but the price was that he was finally petrified!

The pressure from the air around Tangning disappeared instantly, and the coat of arms in Skinny's hand fell to the ground at the battle site.

It turns out to be just a showpiece!

Tangning didn't want to investigate why Skinny remained where he was. He just wanted to get back the portkey and return to Hogwarts as soon as possible.Waving the wand, the coat of arms flew towards Tangning quickly, but it changed direction halfway!

There is another old man in the corridor!Without thinking, Tang Ning continued to cast a petrifying spell. The newly-appeared old man with gray-white hair did not even try to dodge. After Tang Ning's spell hit him, he disappeared like a mud cow in the sea.

"The descendant of Slytherin?" The gray-haired old man looked at Tangning and muttered to himself, "It doesn't look like, it doesn't look like..." He stared at the Gryffindor golden lion logo hanging on Tangning's chest, "You are a character." Lanffindor? The reckless lion..." The gray-haired old man seemed to be deep in thought.

Tangning held the wand and wondered whether he should cast another petrification spell. Unlike the skinny one before, the gray-haired old man put a lot of pressure on him.

"Where is this? Who are you?" He finally decided to try again, just in case this person is also the same! "Total stones..."

"Quiet!" The gray-haired old man finally came to his senses and spoke again.But Tang Ning preferred that he was still in a daze. He just waved his sleeve and Tang Ning's wand flew into his hand uncontrollably. And just like the skinny guy before, he didn't use the wand.

Tangning had known about the existence of wandless spellcasting for a long time. To a certain extent, magic riot could be regarded as wandless spellcasting.But these are all uncontrollable. For example, Tangning broke several chairs at home after the magic riot; for example, Harry changed the color of the teacher's hat in class when he was in elementary school; for example, when Ron was young, Fred changed his hat. The teddy bear turns into a spider...

These things have appeared in the chat topics of young wizards before. Their characteristics are that they do not require a wand, do not require a magic spell but have the effect of a magic spell, but are not controllable. The most important thing is that they cannot actively do the same thing again. Again.That's why the wand exists.Simply put, the wand is more like a magic integrated amplification controller.Most wizards who are accustomed to using wands cannot cast complex spells like the Petrification Curse after losing their wands. Losing their wands is equivalent to losing their combat effectiveness because they cannot accurately control their own magic power.

In fact, the wand is only a European invention, and not all wizards in the world use wands.Tang Ning had read in the book that most African wizards and witches used to learn to cast spells with their fingers since childhood. Of course, this would be harmful to the fingers, and it was difficult for human fragile fingers to undertake the work of condensing the magic power of advanced spells. They would use various methods to cast spells. A variety of media, until the wand was introduced to Africa in the last century, African witches and wizards switched to using wands, but they still retained the tradition of using their fingers to cast small magic.This also reflects the advantages of the wand from the side, although its shortcomings are also obvious.

In the European and American magic world, there are indeed wand-free spells, such as Animagus, but there are very few such spells and they do not include disarming spells.There are only a few wizards who are truly capable of casting complex spells without their wands, let alone doing so easily and effortlessly.

Therefore, after the gray-haired old man took away her wand easily, Tangning understood that the old man in front of her was not something she could handle.

"Gryffindor, are you Albus... Dumbledore's student?" The gray-haired old man took two steps forward and went down the stairs. He kept looking at Tangning carefully, but he was mentioning Dumbledore. There was a slight pause when giving the first and last names.

"That's right!" Without her wand, Tangning, like most wizards, has no fighting power at all. But if you lose, you can't lose the battle, and you can't lose your momentum!He answered simply.

The gray-haired old man was playing with Tang Ning's wand, and he didn't know where he had placed the door key that brought Tang Ning here.Suddenly, the old man pointed the wand sharply at Tang Ning. Tang Ning subconsciously dodged it, but except for a flash of red light coming from the tip of the wand, nothing happened.

"It's a very interesting wand, it actually resists me." The old man laughed. He pointed the wand at the skin and bones again, and a white light shot at him, and then the petrification of the skin and bones was lifted.

"Sir!" Skinny just said this and stood there quietly with his head lowered.

The old man pointed the wand at Tang Ning again. This time, white light came out of the tip of the wand, but again, nothing happened.

He ignored this and smiled again, "Do you know where this is? Child."

Tangning shook her head.

"Welcome to Nurmengard! By the way, have you found anything in the secret room?"

Nurmengard!Upon hearing this word, Tangning immediately understood where she had arrived - Nurmengard was built by the first Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald. In the 1945 duel, Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore. .According to the book, he has been staying alone in the highest tower in Nurmengard since 1945... But as of now, this is obviously not the whole truth.

Tangning understood that the gray-haired old man in front of her was probably Grindelwald himself, but the book introduced that he had blond hair in his shoulders when he was young... What made Tangning even more curious was how could Grindelwald know about the Chamber of Secrets?You must know that even when he was at his greatest power, he was unable to touch Britain.
