Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Page 281
"The wall around this place is really high - even higher than Professor Hagrid's." Michael looked up at the tall green shrub wall and asked, "Why is it built so high? Is there any secret building hidden inside?"
"It's not a secret building, but some creatures." Wade stopped and said, "Look, they are coming."
Michael was stunned, and then he saw a dark green giant monster dragging a long wooden stick, staggering out from the end of the passage.
He turned his head suddenly and saw a werewolf appearing silently from behind. It looked at the two of them and let out a low growl.
A low laugh sounded above his head, and Michael looked up, only to see two people squatting on each side of the bush wall... They looked like humans, but their eyes were glowing red, and their mouths were full of sharp fangs.
Michael: “…”
……
Half an hour later, Wade couldn't help but admire Michael as he looked at him sitting on a natural chair formed by tree roots and picking pine nuts to eat.
Just now this guy was so scared by the monster that suddenly appeared that his face turned pale, but after seeing the vampire girl on the wall, he suddenly said:
"You must be very cold wearing so little, right? And you're wearing a skirt, so it's easy to expose yourself if you stand against the wall!"
The vampire girl burst out laughing, and the tense atmosphere created by the other monsters disappeared.
They looked at each other, then at Wade. The werewolf asked honestly, "If he doesn't run, should we still chase him?"
"Be flexible, everyone. If a student is so scared that he collapses on the ground, will you let him go?" Wade said helplessly, "Pretend to attack and surround the enemy to attack the reinforcements. Didn't I teach you that?"
"Oh--"
The werewolf suddenly realized something, and with a clatter of his claws, he actually took out a small notebook from his stomach and wrote it down carefully.
The troll tilted his head, and seeing that there would be no fight for the time being, he dragged his stick and walked away with heavy steps.
The handsome chestnut-haired vampire bowed and said, "Please feel free to call upon us whenever you need us."
After saying that, he jumped to the other side of the wall and the other vampires disappeared with him.
Michael looked at the direction where the female vampire disappeared with a sense of loss, and suddenly sighed heavily.
"She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen... but it's a pity that she is not human... not even a vampire..."
"If it were a real vampire, would you still pursue it?" Vader asked.
Michael said angrily: "Love is not restricted by race!" After a pause, he added frustratedly: "But I can't accept that it is a puppet."
Ved complained: "Padma has a reason for breaking up with you."
Michael thought of Padma and began to sigh again.
The last time Wade saw the two of them sitting together peacefully, talking and laughing, he thought they had reconciled, but who knew that they had actually broken up completely.
Padma couldn't stand Michael's behavior of being gentle to every girl and often talking and laughing with beautiful girls, and the two had quarreled several times.
Michael could understand Padma's anger, but he just couldn't change his way of doing things.
From lovers back to ordinary friends, their relationship has become more harmonious.
After all, Michael has always been very nice to Padma.
But he is also very nice to other girls, which makes Padma, as his girlfriend, feel annoyed and uneasy; but as a friend, Padma can learn to turn a blind eye.
The relationship between the two was an area that Wade had never been involved in. He rarely interfered, and at this time he only mentioned it, and then turned the topic to Michael's performance just now -
"Honestly, you didn't feel scared just now?" Wade asked in confusion, "Or was there a flaw in the puppet I made that you saw through it at a glance?"
"That's not the case," Michael said. "Real trolls may not be that scary, because... you know, trolls are fools, but golems are not."
"Then you are..."
"Because I haven't forgotten that it was you who brought me in."
Michael said casually, "You're not going to bring me here to die! There's no way the professors at the school would let so many monsters sneak into Hogwarts without noticing."
"If you think about this and think about the creatures like the red hat that appeared in the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts course, the conclusion is obvious. Is this another group of puppet creatures?"
Vader was speechless.
It's easy to say, but when facing a life-and-death crisis, how many people can still think calmly?
As they were talking, the two finally passed through the long passage and arrived at the real V area.
It looked as if we were in the depths of the forbidden forest. The huge trees had intertwined roots and knots, forming a canopy. There was almost no sunlight on the ground, making it seem cold and damp.
There are some dead trees around, with branches and claws bared, as if they are monsters with slender fingers stretched out, ready to bite someone.
Michael adapted well to this frightening atmosphere. After a tour, he picked up some pine cones. It was not difficult for the two people with magic to peel the pine nuts.
He even had time to comment while eating——
“The atmosphere is good, but the place is a bit small. It would be better if it could be expanded into the forbidden forest.”
"That's unlikely." Wade sat on another tree trunk and said, "The creation of the maze has already caused some creatures in the Forbidden Forest to protest to Dumbledore. If it is extended further inward, they will definitely be very angry."
"Besides, beyond a certain range, the school's magic will not be able to protect all the students."
"That's a shame," Michael said. "In such a small place, everyone will soon be able to tell whether these puppets are real or fake."
Not far from them, several giant monsters huddled together in a wronged manner, setting up a fire and pretending to be warming themselves. Their huge bodies looked very cramped.
Werewolves ran around from time to time, their lanky figures often flashing by.
Only the vampire hid well and never showed up.
"Area V is only temporary," Wade said. "Professor Dumbledore has invited Mr. Scamander to help. During the holidays, they will use magic to move Area V to the underground maze. When the area is connected, it will look not much different from the Forbidden Forest."
Michael opened his mouth in surprise: "Is this even possible? Moving a whole space there?"
Wade paused, also surprised: "Are you surprised by this? Isn't time magic more magical?"
The two looked at each other for a while and decided to give up changing each other's perception.
Wade asked, "Do you want to try what it's like to fight a werewolf?"
"Okay!" Michael jumped up happily from the seat at the root of the tree, holding his wand.
Wade clapped his hands, and a werewolf slowly walked out from the woods.
Chapter 403 Enhanced Puppet Creatures
It turns out that challenging dangerous magical creatures without knowing the corresponding spells is a very bad idea.
Especially the puppets made by Wade, they are endowed with the powerful physique and strength of magical creatures, but they do not have the weaknesses of these creatures——
For example, the stupidity of trolls, the loss of control of werewolves, and the vampires' disgust and fear of sunlight.
Michael bravely tried to challenge the werewolf, but before he could cast any spell, the sharp claws were already in front of his throat.
He blinked blankly, without reacting, and after a few seconds he uttered:
"……So fast?"
The werewolf retracted its claws and scurried off into the jungle, as if he had just casually stretched his body.
The sense of crisis that his life was threatened gradually dissipated, and Michael felt that his frozen brain was also recovering.
After a few seconds, he moved his hands and feet and put on a relaxed smile.
"Phew... this guy scared me when he jumped down from the tree." He turned to Wade and said, "I thought you were going to yell 'start' or something?"
Wade sat on the tree roots nearby, grinned, and said, "Sorry, they simulate real combat environments. Real werewolves won't greet you when they attack, right?"
Michael thought about it and said, "Hmm... that makes sense."
He wanted to start a new game, but he reached out and touched his throat and said subconsciously: "I have already seen the werewolf, I want to challenge the troll."
His impression of the troll was still that of the clumsy guy who was defeated by a few first-year wizards.
Vader looked strange: "Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Michael said confidently, "Flocks of birds, flat slides, and levitation spells, these spells that played a great role in the past, I have now mastered them all! In the past, it took several of us to fight against the monster, but now I can defeat it alone!"
The most important thing is that creatures like trolls are huge and heavy, and they definitely cannot be as fast as werewolves.
"Okay, but you'd better put this on."
Wade raised his hand, and a cloak of gold and silver flew over. When it landed on Michael, it turned into a camouflage color similar to the surrounding woods.
"Wow, this is a bit like an invisibility cloak."
Michael happily lifted the edge of his cloak and looked at it, saying, "But I like it better the way it was before."
The cloak swayed slightly in his hands, and Michael somehow felt that it was also expressing his approval.
He smiled, pulled up his hood, and said seriously, "Come on, troll!"
The young man, wearing a cloak, holding a magic wand, with sharp eyes, inexplicably gives people a very strong feeling.
The four giant puppets on the opposite side looked at each other, and then the tallest and strongest one among them stood up with a wooden stick in hand, lowered his body, and let out a deterrent roar.
It pushed the ground hard and rushed over dragging the wooden stick!
Michael raised his wand and shouted, "Birds flock!"
A dozen small birds appeared from the tip of his wand and attacked the troll.
Michael thought that the troll puppet would be confused and had already begun to plan his next spell.
But the plot did not develop as he expected.
Faced with the bird pecking at it with its sharp beak, the giant puppet covered its eyes with its arms and rushed over like a heavy truck, without encountering any hindrance at all.
The distance between the two quickly narrowed.
Michael panicked immediately. He quickly cast a few slides on the ground and waved his wand, shouting, "There are many obstacles! There are many obstacles!"
But the smooth stone floor of the castle is a natural fit for the Slide spell; even the stairs can be turned into a smooth stone slide, but the jungle's ground, which is piled with dead branches and leaves, is the exact opposite.
Michael didn't notice that the chute spell had any effect. Instead, the obstacle spell slowed down the speed of the giant puppet a little. Michael took the opportunity to run back two steps, turned around and shouted again: "Faint!"
The red spell beam shot out, but brushed past the troll puppet's ear and hit the tree trunk behind it.
There was a hint of subtle sarcasm on that ugly face.
Michael looked desperate—how could he still hide?
The troll puppet that had already caught up with him raised the wooden stick high, but Michael did not give up. He quickly cast another disarming spell.
