Chapter 59 Returning in Disappointment
The next day, Basil got up early.
Unlike games and movies, Hogwarts does not have a long bridge facing the hall and leading to the outside world.
The only land exit of the castle is a wide driveway.
Recently, it has been deeply submerged by snow.
But today, the snow was cleared in advance.
Holding Hermione's hand, along the cleared stone road, he came to a pair of magnificent cast iron gates.
Inside the gate, there were many carriages pulled by the Thestrals. In the eyes of people who have not seen death, these carriages were driven by magic or pulled by invisible horses.
On the other side of the door was the road that the senior students took after getting off the train. On both sides were many stone pillars with winged wild boars at the front.
Many students had gathered in front of the cast iron gate.
Filch was holding the key and putting it into the keyhole.
The Hufflepuff students on the side complained that Filch got up too late.
Otherwise, the carriage would be parked directly outside the castle.
They didn't need to walk to the gate at all.
Hermione heard this and followed suit, agreeing that Filch, the administrator, was not competent.
Basil raised his eyebrows.
"Don't pretend, you are happy. On the contrary, you hope he can get up later."
The ability to discern lies brought by [Truth Appraiser] made him realize that Hermione was lying.
"No!" Hermione turned her head away.
Basil pouted.
Lies, still lies.
Living in a world without lies is so simple, boring and dull.
"Do you still want me to take you to Hogsmeade Station?"
Hermione lowered her head, "Yes. Well, I do hope Filch can get up later."
Ten minutes later, they got on the carriage.
Passing through the tall stone pillars with winged wild boars on top, they came to a dark street.
The station was in front.
To the left was the legendary Hogsmeade Village.
After their third year, they will be allowed to go after getting their parents' signatures and consent.
And he was going to Hogsmeade today.
The Marauder's Map of the Weasley twins made Basil decide to give up going to Hogsmeade through the secret passage.
Although they were not such gossipy people that they had not discovered Peter Pettigrew who slept with Ron.
But Basil still wanted to play it safe.
They left the school with Ron and Percy yesterday.
After all, even outside the school, the Marauder's Map can still see the real-time location of people in Hogwarts.
However, going to Hogsmeade this way is not without advantages.
Just like going to Diagon Alley with the Weasleys, taking a Hogwarts carriage to the station with a group of students will not be tested by Voldemort and Dumbledore.
In fact, Basil knew that he was suffering from paranoia.
Dumbledore was a good man bound by rules and regulations. As long as he was a student of Hogwarts, he didn't have to worry too much.
Voldemort was now only a remnant soul, and his main goal was the Philosopher's Stone.
He didn't have to worry about Voldemort making trouble.
By killing ants, one ant is 0.0001, his [Killing Intent] has accumulated 34.241.
His talent [Killing Intent] is also much clearer, and the current damage bonus is 67.241.
That is, [Normal Attack] is 83.241, and using [True Word Appraiser] is about 41.6 [Real Damage].
It is estimated that dealing with Quirrell is just a matter of [Normal Attack], just swinging the arm.
Not to mention using the Killing Curse.
The Killing Curse activated by the [Killing Intent] of about 34 can deal 204 damage.
If the appearance component used is [True Word Appraiser], it is also 102 [Real Damage].
Not to mention the wizard with a short health bar, even the fire dragon may not be a problem.
The reason why he is so cautious is entirely because he has only watched the movie roughly, played the game developed with Harry Potter elements, and was influenced by the twins during his relationship. He only knows the novel vaguely.
What if in the novel, Voldemort now has other subordinates to use?
At least the house elf Lailai was definitely not mentioned in the movie.
He is an ordinary little wizard. What if he is attacked by a dark wizard and can't react?
His attack power is extraordinary.
In terms of defense, at most a giant monster will descend and act as a meat shield.
He tried using the [Iron Armor Curse], and the damage bonus of [Killing Heart] is useless for defense.
Just like it can increase damage when used on a coma spell, but the magic power of making people coma is not enhanced.
At most, he can rely on the advantage of high magic power to "consume" more magic power and bring greater defense.
[Fashion Component] This precious component that may bring magic resistance and physical defense suits is lost again.
Bajir dare not be too wasteful.
So, after breaking up with Hermione.
He did not go to Hogsmeade.
Instead, he immediately called out Lailai.
The next second, two figures appeared in a house where the wallpaper had fallen off the wall, the floor was stained, the furniture was broken, and the windows were nailed with boards.
"Ahem, it's so dirty," Bajir fanned the air, "Is this the Shrieking Shack?"
At the same time, a mechanical sound came into his mind.
[Ziz..Ziz, location [Shrieking Shack], [Hogsmeade] activated]
The fog outside the Hogwarts Castle in his mind suddenly dissipated, spreading forward to Hogsmeade Station, and then spreading to the left.
A complete [Hogsmeade Village] appeared in his mind.
However, only [Zonko's Joke Shop], [Honeydukes Shop], and [Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop] were lit.
"You can go now, Lailai." Bajir ordered.
Crack! After the sound of Apparition, Lailai disappeared from the spot.
Bajir began to complain: "Damn! Only these three shops are lit in the game, and the same is true in reality!"
The information in his mind told him that the shops, streets, and the road from the village to Hogwarts that were lit now belonged to him.
Just like Hogwarts Castle, the area around the castle except the Forbidden Forest, he could check it at will and reach it through space.
Hogsmeade is a wizard village, not as small as in movies and games.
In addition to shops, there are houses.
Some students and professors live here.
Professor McGonagall and her dead husband's house is in the village.
It's just that after her husband died, she rarely went back.
And now, the shops and private houses that were not lit in his mind were not under his name.
He couldn't observe and reach through space.
Unless he spent gems to light it up.
TMD! I have to pay for the game after crossing! Isn't it a waste of time to cross over!
The cost of each shop and house is different.
A famous shop like [The Three Broomsticks] costs 500 gems to light up.
However, Ms. Rosmerta is really beautiful, and her two meat balls are about to burst out.
Bajir thinks it's worth it.
The building is off-center, like [The Shrieking Shack].
Maybe because Lupin lived there, it is also considered a private residence.
It needs gems to light it up.
But it only costs 50 gems.
Other private residences like [The House of the Hangis Family] and [The House of Bachelor Raymond Swark] that Bajir has never heard of cost 30 gems each.
In short, I spent 610 gems today and returned home disappointed.
Gems: 30688.385 (-610)
