[Comprehensive Manga] The good year of making copies

It was just a word that made Quirrell react so much.

—Tom.

Standing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, stroking the old and shriveled bark of a pine tree, his eyes stayed on the majestic and mysterious castle that he could clearly see.

Horcrux.

Another Horcrux.At this moment, Xia Chuan regretted why he hadn't carefully read the detailed description of the Horcrux before.

However, he never thought that he would be sent to the same dungeon again after completing the main story line. Moreover, in his impression, the production method of that Horcrux seemed to be a broken copy.

For what was useless at that time, it was still an incomplete thing, and there was really no need to devote much attention to it.

Compared with the Horcrux, the new professor who made him trigger the mission - Quirinus Quirrell should pay the most attention.

A person who is full of malice towards him but appears very cowardly, and is cautious about everything.Xia Chuan thought about the strong malice that was disgusting before, and that kind of feeling really couldn't be connected with Quilo.

Why did Quirrell react so strongly to the name Tom?

In fact, Xia Chuan only reacted when he received the mission and saw the mission prompt, and tentatively mouthed to the source of the malice.

Unexpectedly, the frivolous temptation will pay off.

There is a pair of eyes on the back of Quirrell—not to mention the strong sense of being watched, the mouth shape he made cannot be seen by Quirrell who is facing away from him. If he has mental power to scan, Xia Chuan has absolute Discover with confidence.

In terms of the strength of the wizard in the previous impression, they were not enough to face the elves of the tenth level at that time, and now he is almost 60...

It has to be said that the strength of the wizard is really appalling.

No matter what, guessing is always useless. Since the person involved is nearby, it is the most correct choice to find an opportunity to catch and ask.

As for whether the other party will tell the truth or choose to deceive, Xia Chuan believes that with Qi Luo's character, he can also recognize when he is lying-of course, if Qi Luo is pretending like that, he has nothing to say.

It's not bad for him to think too much. After triggering the main story, the return to London residence that was originally arranged at the top of the arrangement was moved to the back.

From the perspective of the mission, Tom must have done a Horcrux experiment, and he can be found and confirmed.And Quirrell, who triggered him to trigger the task, may be someone who participated in the experiment, or something else-in short, it has something to do with the Horcrux Tom.

Otherwise, the system will not send him a task.

Since Tom was still related to Horcruxes, maybe it would be quicker to find the Malfoys.

After all, wizards and Muggles are two different worlds.

Xia Chuan withdrew his hand, comforted the pine tree that was being touched comfortably and protesting his withdrawal, and sorted out his scattered thoughts.

Perhaps he should have asked Quirrell before the students arrived at Hogwarts.

Then go to Malfoy's house.

……

Even if the pine trees in the Forbidden Forest gave him a vague picture of Hogwarts, it was still not easy to find a professor who insisted on hiding himself in the huge castle.

He didn't have the patience to deal with those moving corridors, Xia Chuan naturally chose the fastest way - the most authoritative person in Hogwarts is naturally the headmaster.

It is not easy to find a professor who can move, but it is much easier to find the principal's office.

He believed that as long as he got to the principal's office, Dumbledore would come even if he was not in the principal's office.

Things didn't go as he expected.

"Need lemon ice cream... or juice?"

Xia Chuan looked at the slightly crowded headmaster's office, studied the empty portraits hanging in the outer room for a while, and turned his head to reject Dumbledore's proposal.

"Principal Dumbledore, I want to know where Professor Quirrell is?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting the elf in front of him to ask about the young man whose personality had changed drastically.

"Oh, I don't know that Mr. Jalan Nord is looking for Quirrell..." Dumbledore stopped talking in the middle of the sentence-this statement involved the privacy of the other party, although the elf didn't show much mind.

Dumbledore thought about it, and chose to ask, but changed the direction, "Sorry, I can't use my power to find out the location of Professor Quirrell." After a pause, he felt the elf's gaze on him, He added another sentence: "He is a professor." Xia Chuan was investigated as an intruder.

Xia Chuan responded, not intending to embarrass Dumbledore. He didn't understand the authority and restrictions of Hogwarts, and the headmaster said that if he couldn't check it, he couldn't check it.

Anyway, the students are here tonight, so why not block people in the restaurant...

After saying goodbye, the elf walked slowly towards the door.

Dumbledore looked at the elf's indifferent look, and at the same time thought about the arrival of the students at night.

He doesn't want to announce in front of the whole school that this is an elf or fabricate an identity to put on an elf. After all, most of the words that come out of his mouth will be tacitly regarded as a new rule by Hogwarts — such as making up a new job title.

Idlers and others cannot live in Hogwarts, what's more, they cannot enter Hogwarts.Letting unknown people stay in Hogsmeade for a period of time was already the limit, and Dumbledore didn't want to challenge the wizards' tolerance limit.

"Mr. Galannold." Dumbledore called to the elf who had walked to the door, "Students will enroll tonight, I hope you try to avoid the students as much as possible."

Xia Chuan turned his head, waiting for Dumbledore's explanation.

"You are an elf, and you have no position at Hogwarts." Wizards have very complicated views on elves, and many of their ideas are likely to collide with elves, and Dumbledore doesn't even want to try what the anger of an elf will attract.

Finally, after receiving Xia Chuan's nod and agreement, Dumbledore added: "Professors should all stay in their offices now to sort out the courses to be taught tomorrow."

To find Quirrell go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

"Thank you." Xia Chuan thanked him very politely, and then rushed to the destination in a hurry.

Apparently, it wasn't just him who wanted to talk, but Quirrell.

The office was well-defended—there were no portraits around, and no trace of eavesdropping magic.In other words, there is not even a little magic fluctuation at all.

The smell is not as clean as a room in the magic world. Of course, the source of the smell in the room needs to be eliminated.

Qi Luo was still cowering, with a cowardly and terrified look on his face, and his purple lips moved slightly, as if he was talking to someone——Xia Chuan didn't know lip language very well, he could distinguish some Chinese, but his eyes were dark in English up.

He quietly waited for Quirrell's action, and found a place to sit by himself, his eyes lingering on Quirrell's face and head.

Not long after, Qi Luo shook his hands and removed the hood bit by bit, and he didn't shy away from Xia Chuan's gaze. He met him directly, with no intention of hiding the malice and murderous intent in his eyes .

Xia Chuan's sense of smell caught the strong rancid smell, and he watched Quirrell turn around, and a face appeared on the back of his shaved head.

To be precise, it was an incomplete face with some deformities.

"Celegon Gallanold." The voice was hoarse and rough, and Xia Chuan couldn't tell what age group the voice belonged to.

[Mission: Go home. 】

Trigger the main line ([-]): Horcrux experiment results confirmed.

Mission Tip: Tom Marvolo Riddle

Main line completion: 14% (1/7).

Mission completion: 70%.

Mission Reward: Hidden.

[Player Xia Chuan Chaolu obtained the mission item: Horcrux Explorer. 】

"..." Xia Chuan thought about the image of the cute child in his memory, and pondered over the deformed face for a while, but in the end he couldn't find any similarities.

What made a kid who had grown up...well, at least grew normally, look like this?

"Tom, have you lost your body in just a few decades?" Of course Xia Chuan can tell Tom's current situation - without a body, the soul can only rest on other people.What he couldn't understand was why the rancid smell was so strong.

And... what does that 1/7 in the mission refer to...

As if stimulated by this sentence, Tom's originally calm emotions suddenly surged, and a tyrannical light shone in his red eyes.

Although they are the same gorgeous color, Tom is so different from Juicer—after all, they are two kinds of people, although in terms of time, Tom has lived much longer than Juicer.

"Kill him!" growled Tom, even though his hoarse voice sounded weak. "Quirrell! Kill him!"

But full of momentum.

Xia Chuan looked at Tom who clamored for Quirrell to kill him, sighed the little white-eyed wolf, and used his level-up a lot to dodge the heart-gouging that Quirrell threw at him.

It would please the Master more to make him suffer than to simply kill him.Quirrell thought, and after following the figure of the elf several times in a row, he found that the enemy suddenly disappeared from his field of vision.

"Master, master...?" Quirrell asked stutteringly, the burst of pain from his head was nothing compared to the psychological fear.

"Tom, you let me down so much." Xia Chuan stood at the door incognito, looked at the panicked Quirrell, expressed his disappointment with the little white-eyed wolf, opened the door to avoid another spell from Quirrell, and nodded. Did not go back and left.

Why Tom became like this, probably Malfoy knows best.

If it was the case that he had never left before, and the child he had brought up for a few years grew up but wanted to kill him, he would probably just violently beat the other party to death.

But it's not bad now. Although I feel a little awkward in my heart, I don't feel sad at all.

However, why Tom became like this, he still needs to find out-the first stop is the Malfoy house where he knows most of Tom's childhood experiences.

The most important thing is that the quest prop Horcrux Explorer seems to be useful only if it can search within a certain range close to the Horcrux.

Maybe Malfoy knew something... He remembered asking Malfoy to take care of Tom more.

And with a Parseltongue at the right moment, there's no reason Malfoy, as a loyal follower of Slytherin, shouldn't take good care of Tom.

He had talked to Tom about the Malfoys, and of course Tom would have made friendship with Malfoy a priority.

In the end... what went wrong.
