Chapter 262 Tom Riddle: Die! (page 12)
Lockhart's sudden words caught Harry Potter off guard.
"You want to use me to ask Sirius for money?"
Even if he wanted to lose his hair, he couldn't figure it out: a dignified professor at Hogwarts actually said such a thing, what's the point of losing face?
Is this still a professor at Hogwarts? Could it be that his cousin Dudley was pretending to be?
And just when Harry, with three parts surprise, three parts confusion, and ninety-four parts contempt, wanted to ask Professor Lockhart in front of him on the spot, what did you mean by talking like this?
Something was really wrong with Lockhart's face.
Just like the piece of porcelain he was playing with before, large areas of cracks suddenly appeared on his face, and the color (in the physical sense) of his face also began to dim at an extremely fast speed. .
At the same time, a strange dark green light suddenly appeared at the tip of his wand, and Harry's eyes were involuntarily attracted to this light.
When the question came to his lips, he wanted to say it but couldn't, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
"You are very tired," Lockhart said in a steady voice, but this voice did not belong to the Professor Lockhart in Harry's impression at all. "You have just written many readers' replies, so naturally now you Will not reject me and write another letter for me to a special reader..."
Lockhart—or, to put it bluntly—"Helpo the Despicable," is hypnotizing a young wizard.
After being a professor for several months, he already knows some secrets about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For example, if he uses the "Unforgivable Curse" on the little wizard here, his behavior will immediately be punished by this magic castle. be aware of it, and the news will be passed on to other professors as soon as possible.
Therefore, he could only use some other methods to get the legendary "savior" Harry Potter to do something for him.
For example, use hypnosis.
Don't underestimate this technology. In fact, hypnosis is an advanced magic invented by ancient magicians.
Although many of today's curses - such as the Imperius Curse, one of the "Unforgivable Curses", or the command curse commonly used by magical beast scholars, these spells have the shadow of hypnosis.
However, to maximize the effect of hypnosis, you actually need quite a lot of magic power and superb spell skills.
And only the most advanced hypnosis can affect a wizard's brain and distort their thinking and will.
Therefore, Haierbo designed many links to seize the opportunity of Harry Potter's mental exhaustion and hypnotize him.
"Write, write, write a letter to your godfather, Sirius, and ask him for some Galleons."
Halbo kept urging Harry with words. He wanted to use words and magic to influence the little wizard so that he would "willingly" write this letter.
Harry suddenly became confused, a look of clear stupidity on his face, and picked up the quill pen again.
"Hey hey hey!"
Halbo grinned and let out a barbell-like laugh. He was laughing at Harry, the "savior" of the wizarding world, for his will being so easily swayed.
"Sure enough, not all little wizards are monsters!"
"After that wizard detective had been dormant for so long before and after his death, I finally found myself in peace, and everything I did went smoothly."
"First I got rid of that freak, and then I was nourished for a period of time in the magic treasure house of Hogwarts. Now I can get a large sum of galleons in exchange for more magic materials to strengthen my body!"
"Just wait, when the 'godfather' of Harry Potter dies unexpectedly during the summer vacation, I will take the little wizard's body!"
"And with Harry Potter's body, I can inherit the treasury of the Black and Potter families. Then I will have endless money to spend. I won't be able to spend it all!"
Haierbo began to think about his bright future. But he may have overlooked one issue. In order to obtain magic pigments from those beautiful oriental antique porcelains, he may have really learned a lot about the East, but he did not learn enough, at least he did not learn the essence of Oriental culture. .
At least, he has never heard of the following warning words that everyone is familiar with in that Eastern Dragon Kingdom——
“Good things don’t work, bad things work.”
"You can't help but talk about everything."
"The less you think about it, the more you think about it."
"..."
Anyway, the result was that after a series of thoughts, an accident he had never imagined happened so suddenly (Tzeentch: Strength must be increased).
Haierbo first heard a series of slight "click-click" sounds. He originally thought it was the "natural opening" of the precious porcelain in his collection.
But he immediately realized that this was impossible.
Whose porcelain opens so densely and makes such a loud sound? What's more, his office is a serious place for collecting antique porcelain, and it is not a workshop that specializes in manufacturing fake porcelain. It is impossible to have the process of opening pieces with electric tools.
"broken!"
This was Haierbo's first reaction.
And his second reaction was: "Have I been deceived and bought a fake!"
Therefore, he temporarily ignored Harry Potter, who was under the influence of hypnosis and was writing a letter to his "rich dad" Sirius. He quickly waved his wand and caused the large boxes made of Muggle corrugated paper to come out one by one. It flew out from under his bed and landed gently at his feet.
The sound did come from these boxes, but Haierbo confirmed that not all boxes were making a "click-click" sound.
After some searching, he quickly found the source of the sound, which was a cardboard box at the bottom.
Haierbo opened the carton and took a look, and found that there were not many pieces of porcelain in the box, and most of the items in it were sundries that were of no use to him——
For example, the Persian slippers used by the wizard detective to hold tobacco; the fragments of the magic portrait frame that are missing from the portrait itself; the "Crown of the Four Snakes" that has been turned into a complete handicraft because all its uses have been used up...
Haierbo's eyes suddenly widened.
He was surprised to find that the Four Snakes Crown, which he had originally judged to be "useless", actually had large clusters of cracks on it. Moreover, the silver substance on it continued to fall off on its own like a wall soaked in water.
"It shouldn't be. Even if this crown is broken, except for the 'broken time turner' I found, the remaining materials for making it are the fairy iron and mithril used by the fairy craftsmen in the past - these two Everything is made of very strong magical materials and will not be damaged easily unless..."
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"No way?" Haierbo was really shocked: "The goblin craftsmen under the goblin king back then, when they were making the crown for the king, could they dare to cut corners and make something like a 'bag of potato chips' What kind of goods?”
However, the next second, whether the ancient fairies cut corners became less important.
