Chapter 17： Sage's Stone

They walked forward and down the corridor down the slope. In addition to the sound of their own footsteps, there was also the sound of water drops slowly dripping down the wall.

"Did you hear anything?" Daphne stopped and listened. Several other people listened quietly to the surrounding sounds, and indeed heard a soft rustling sound that seemed to be coming from the front.

"Let's go, you'll know what's going on in the past." Xie Lin pointed to the front, where the lights were on. They found that at the end of the corridor, there was a brightly lit room, and the sound was coming from above their heads. On the high vaulted ceiling, there are countless little birds, flapping their wings, flying around in the room.

"This is... the second mechanism?" Daphne had suffered from the last loss and became very careful, for fear of getting into the trap again. "You said, if we go in directly, will these birds attack us?"

Meredith is more observant. She pointed to the thick wooden door opposite and said, "There is a door on the opposite side. I'm afraid we need to go through this room."

"If all the birds rushed over at once, we would chant the explosion spell together and blow them all up. Can we pass this level?" Daphne suggested.

Schelling shook his head, "Daphne, your spell application and on-the-spot adaptability are very good, and there is no lack of courage to face difficulties, but you still have to learn more from Meredith in terms of observation and reasoning-see clearly, Those things above your head are not flying birds." In the chaotic situation in the future, Xie Lin didn't plan to fight alone. After a whole semester of observation and getting along, he felt that the talents and dispositions of these two girls were very good. He is a trustworthy object, so he also thought of cultivating the abilities of two women to be his confidant in the future. Of course, the pleasing looks of the two girls are also one of the factors. Gore and Crabbe, the two stupid big men who want to be Schelling's followers, have no way.

Daphne took a closer look and realized that it was a group of keys with wings, "Daph, this must be the level set by Professor McGonagall, did she get it from your award-winning paper on magic lights? Inspiration?"

Xie Lin shook his head, declined to comment, and asked, "Did you think about it? How do you break through this level?"

Daphne frowned, "Don't tell me, we need to find a key in these key piles."

"Bingo! You got the right answer. It is estimated that you will have to find the right key to open the door." Xie Lin said calmly, "They obviously can't just be used for decoration."

"But there are hundreds of keys on it!" Daphne frowned.

Meredith has already taken the broomstick, and is about to distribute the flying broomstick to Schelling and Daphne. The flying skills of the three are not bad, but compared to Harry or other Quidditch players, the three also know that flying is not what they are good at. At this moment, Meredith thinks they should only be tough. Scalp into battle.

Xie Lin said slowly: "I'll teach you another precious lesson. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in real combat. You have to learn to use your expertise, and learn to use all available tools to achieve your goals. The so-called so-called. Wands are more than just magic wands-potions, herbs, magical animals can be our tools, of course, including many Muggles. The real power of wizards lies not in magic, but in wisdom. When encountering anything First of all, I think about relying on magic to solve the problem. This is a manifestation of cowardice. I always think that this kind of person is nothing more than a savage who knows magic. Flexible use of every tool we can have, using our brains to solve us The unsolvable problems encountered...rather than relying solely on magic or brute force, this is a truly good wizard!"

The two girls listened to their understanding, and they looked at Xie Lin's gazes suddenly.

Then, Schelling took out a Muggle universal unlocker from his pocket, and after trying several times in the shocked eyes of the two women, the door lock was actually opened with a click. The two women looked stiffly at Xie Lin holding the doorknob with his hand, and smiled and said to them, "The door is open, let's go in." With that, he pushed the door open.

"You...how did you do it?" Meredith stammered.

Schelling explained: "This is the universal unlocker in the Muggle world, specially used to pry the doorknob lock. The door lock has been cast on the anti-Arahho hole opening spell, and the wizard's unlocking method has no effect on it, but -" Xie When Lin said this, he sneered, "The wizards are too arrogant. Even Dumbledore did not show due importance to Muggle's methods, which is why this loophole is left. In the same way, I dare Said that any defensive measures in the school, including any faculty office, can use this tool to pry the door lock."

The three people crossed the door and came to an empty room. The room was completely dark and there was nothing in sight.

The torch on the surrounding wall suddenly ignited flames. There is a sense of sight of beating the boss in the game, and the illuminated scene is also shocking. At this moment, they are standing on the edge of a huge chess board, and in front of them are two rows of black statues taller than them. At the other end of the room, facing them are two rows of white statues.

"Should this be... Wizard chess?" Daphne couldn't help muttering. "what should I do now?"

"We may need to play as pawns. Only after we win the opponent can we break into the next level." Schelling said his own speculation. He was not sure whether he could win the game with three pawns. Daphne and Meredith couldn't help but frowned. After all, if they really needed to act as chess pieces, it would not be fun to be swept by the weapons of these chess pieces statues.

Schelling thought for a while and had a plan, so Daphne would replace the king and Meredith would replace the queen. These two pieces were basically the most difficult to lose in battle, and he replaced a knight.

"What if we are eaten?" Meredith was still worried.

"I will avoid this situation. If it is really unavoidable, we will use the explosive spell to force it." After that, Xie Lin has already started to move the chess pieces. The first routine is just that, exchange each other to make a bigger battlefield. Schelling discovered that Professor McGonagall's chess game was not as clever as he thought. This game went smoother than expected. The number of chess pieces on the field is reduced to a certain level, and there is no need to consider the issue of exchanges. Schelling began to think about how to defeat the king as soon as possible.

After the White Queen fiercely knocked the other bishop to the floor and threw it out of the chessboard like rubbish, Schelling immediately stepped forward and happily put the king to death. When he raised his wand and was about to completely blow up the White King in front of him, this guy actually took off the crown from his head and threw it at Schelling's feet.

This means Schelling won.

passed through the wooden door. There was a corridor behind the door. Several people walked along the corridor.

Meredith said to herself: "The three-headed dog is Hagrid's level. The Devil Net should be Professor Sprout's institution. The magician must be the handwriting of Professor Flivy, and The three deans of Professor McGonagall’s giant chessboard are all involved, so... we are most likely to face the mechanism set by Snape next?"

Xie Lin smiled, "Did you miss our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

While talking, several people came to a door. At the moment the door was opened, a disgusting smell puffed their noses, and they almost subconsciously lifted their clothes to block their noses. The next moment, the sound of the chain pulling from inside the door, and a loud roar came out of the room.

"It's a troll!" Meredith screamed. Girls generally look ugly and scary, and huge monsters will be scared to war, regardless of their own strength. Daphne did a little better than Meredith at this point, she didn't scream, but her face was also quite ugly.

Xie Lin said indifferently: "It's just a giant monster, don't you forget that I defeated one on Halloween?" After Xie Lin said this, the two girls seemed to have realized their faces became less ugly, thank you Lin continued: "The giant monster uses the brute force similar to that of a giant, and its skin has considerable magic resistance. It is not practical to use a stun spell to knock it down, but it has a weakness. Do you know what it is?"

Meredith and Daphne unanimously said: "The back of the head! Its back of the head is its weakness."

Xie Lin snapped his fingers and smiled satisfied: "Yes, knowing its weaknesses, it will not be so terrible. Later I will use obstacle spells to restrict its actions, and you will be responsible for controlling it with floating spells. The wooden stick in his hand gave it a heavy blow on the back of its head, understand?"

The two girls have been taught by Xie Lin the advanced use of the Levitating Curse, and at the moment they nodded hurriedly to express their understanding. After opening the door, Xie Lin took the lead with the obstacle curse to hinder and delay the action of the troll. The two women simultaneously cast the floating curse on the sticks on the trolls. The tacit understanding that the two women cultivated throughout the semester was reflected. At the same time, the female used her mind to control the wooden stick to the back of the troll's head, smoothly hit the troll with a heavy blow, and successfully knocked it to the ground. When the work was done, the two women happily hugged each other and gave a high-five. Unknowingly, their grievances towards each other disappeared.

Next is the logic puzzle level of Professor Snape. Both girls are not very good at logical reasoning. Schelling patiently pointed out the principles behind their logical reasoning and provided some sample questions from the Muggle world so that they could try to solve the problems on their own while waiting for themselves. On the other hand, he drank the antidote alone, and after passing through the black flame, he came to the last level-the room where Eris's magic mirror was placed.

Schelling is not as ignorant of the Mirror of Eris as Harry is in the original book. The Mirror of Eris is the work of an alchemist who was handed down in the 14th century. It is a pity that the manufacturing method of this alchemy product has been lost. This is not an isolated case in the alchemy world. At the same time, there are still alchemical products whose manufacturing method has been lost There are many-vanishing cabinets, double-sided mirrors, resurrection stones, death invisibility cloaks, etc., all of which were caused by the war environment at the time and the wizard's broom. The magic engraved on the Eris magic mirror is nothing else, it is the mind-trapping technique, which uses the mind-trapping mind to read the mind of the person who looks at the mirror, finds what the person who looks at the mirror most desires, and projects the reflection in the mirror. Dumbledore has done some hands and feet on this mirror to make it able to store precious items. Anyone who desires to get the Philosopher’s Stone can see in the mirror the illusory scene of his hand holding the Philosopher’s Stone, but only those who don’t want to use it. People can really take out the stone.

But knowing the principle behind this mirror is not necessarily true. Schelling tried to touch the mirror after performing an occlusion of the brain. He found that he was smiling at him in the mirror, and then Schelling in the mirror took out a piece from his pocket. The red stone, UU reading www.uukanshu. Xie Lin stretched his hand into his pocket and found the legendary sage stone.

After getting the Philosopher’s Stone, Schelling used Transfiguration to conjure a fake Philosopher’s Stone that looked exactly the same, and then used Occlumency to begin to try the Eris Mirror. After several attempts, he finally found the trick and successfully used the magic. The fake stone was put in the magic mirror of Eris.

Maybe Dumbledore can see through this is a fake Philosopher’s Stone, but so what? There are hundreds of people in the entire college. It is hard for Dumbledore to doubt himself as a first-year student. What's more, his actions tonight have been carefully prepared-he knows that all but the administrator Filch in the castle The portraits were Dumbledore's eyes and ears, and the three of them used the Illusion Curse and the Silent Curse to slip out of the dormitory, so that no one in the castle knew that they had ever left the dormitory. The only remaining problem at the moment is that Dumbledore may use the summoning spell to summon the Philosopher’s Stone, but this is not without a solution-Hogwarts’ Anti-Phantom Manifestation Magic has a fatal loophole, that is, the non-wizard system. The apparitions of phoenixes, zouwu, and house elves cannot be forbidden. Schelling hurriedly asked Dobby to take the Philosopher's Stone back to Malfoy Manor and put it in the family's secret room where the family had released the heavily protected, hidden, and shielded formations.

After doing all this, Schelling hurriedly took Daphne and Meredith and returned to the Slytherin dormitory under the state of the Illusion Charm and the Silent Charm. Speaking of this, Schelling must be grateful that the entrance of the Slytherin dormitory is a stone wall. As long as the correct code is given, the stone wall will show the entrance, instead of having a portrait of a fat lady garrisoned like Gryffindor. Eliminates the risk of being discovered that someone has left the dormitory.

Sage’s Stone is obtained!
