Chapter 123 Spell Level 4
Lockhart looked at Ted with an expression of "I'm so happy and tired":
"What a handsome boy like me! Student Ted got full marks! Like what is Lockhart's greatest ideal-world peace, only you answered correctly. And this... and this... Ravenclaugar 20 points!"
Lockhart: This lad is very promising! make persistent efforts!
There was a reaction in Ted's mind.
"Ding ~ trigger task:
【Easy to win a hundred! (green)】
Lockhart's extra points are really arrogant. Wouldn't it be a sin if he didn't make a fortune?
Goal: Get 100 bonus points from Professor Lockhart.
Reward: 300 experience, random cards.
If the sky wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy~”
Lockhart really gave points! It's 20 at your fingertips!
Ted prevented an explosion yesterday, and Professor Flitwick only gave him 20 points.
Today, I gave 20 points for one paper, as if I didn’t need money at all.
Hermione's eyes widened on one side, and her eyebrows were tangled together: We agreed to despise this **** together, but you actually do your homework in private!
Because Hermione saw Lockhart's prestige of forcing Neville forcibly in Diagon Alley, she was very disdainful of him, so he didn't read the textbooks he wrote very seriously.
So there are a few questions that I didn't answer, but I didn't expect Ted to get a perfect score!
The reason why Ted read it seriously is because he read the book by himself.
On the one hand, although Lockhart is not very good, the content in the book is actually very valuable.
This is true knowledge~
Speaking of which, Lockhart is very talented at sneaking up on old comrades.
So many outstanding wizards have fallen into his hands, there are all over the world, and they didn't overturn. sharp!
With Ted, the topic will never fall to the ground. It is a great time for the host and guest, and the class feels like coming home.
In one class, Ted scored 30 points on Lockhart so hard that he was so elated that he almost accepted Ted as a closed-door student on the spot.
Lockhart: It feels so much better at Hogwarts than at home! Ted is a talent and a nice speaker, I love this student so much!
He even thought: If only Ted was the boy who survived the catastrophe, it would be great, and the master and apprentice have not become the best idols in the magic world? ! Longbottom is extremely dull, wasting his reputation!
…
After class, Lockhart also told Ted very kindly that he should go to his office to sit in his free time, and the professor can still provide some help if there are any difficulties. After all, he is a celebrity!
Then he grinned at his friends, shaking their eyes so much that they couldn't keep their eyes open, and left.
Hermione and the others all turned their heads and looked at Ted with a traitorous look—is it you who brought the devil here?
Harry jumped out directly, and asked aggressively: "Ted, why do you compliment a hypocrite so much! That flower peacock!"
Jerry also asked: "Do you worship him?!"
"Say it? What are you going to do? What calculations are there!" Hermione directly believed that Ted wanted to plot against Lockhart, and Ted had to boast in his heart: You are so accurate~
Ted whispered: "I don't worship liars, I just collect points. As long as this professor coaxes well, we can get a lot of benefits."
"Like what?" Hermione asked.
"For example, the approval note for borrowing books in the restricted area~"
Hermione's eyes lit up immediately!
Little partner: Score points? Borrow books? Stunned~ Is this a good thing?
Ted: Why don't all the loves say a word?
Hermione calmed down from the excitement of banning the book, and asked: "You say that Professor Lockhart is a liar? Is there any evidence?"
Although she looked down on this new professor because of Diagon Alley.
But he is the author of a best-selling book after all, and the wonderful adventures in that book really make people yearn for it.
But Ted said he was a liar. Are these adventures made up?
Ted smiled: "Yes, he is a liar."
"I have compared a lot of materials, and the ways to deal with dark creatures in the book are very correct, and some are even groundbreaking." A wizard called Lockhart."
"News?!" The friends didn't expect to use news to check for liars.
Ted talked about his search for news about the adventure stories in the book. The stories in Lockhart’s book all happened in real life, and many of them were rumored locally or appeared in newspapers.
As long as this information is integrated, it is not difficult to find the flaw. What's more, Ted knew the result and then went to find evidence. Reversing is not easy~
The reason why Lockhart has been able to enjoy himself as a best-selling author and great adventurer for so long is because the information in the magic world is relatively closed.
With a sparse population, communication is infrequent, and many people don't care about what happens in distant countries.
After all, it is a society where owls are used to send letters, even if it takes a day or two for messages from neighboring countries to arrive. And Muggles have entered the Internet age.
The friends were shocked by what Ted said.
Although this flower peacock makes people very uncomfortable, but I didn't expect that his wonderful stories are not his own!
Harry suddenly showed a smirk: "You said, what if we go to Dumbledore to complain? Expose this vain peacock severely!"
Other friends are also eager to try.
Ted naturally couldn't let them seriously spoil the plot.
"We shouldn't care who Lockhart is. Since Dumbledore has chosen him as a teacher, he naturally has his own considerations."
"Maybe Dumbledore thought he was a good negative teaching material."
"So let's not worry, do you remember Professor Quirrell from last year?"
"Of course!"
Hermione was suddenly surprised: "You don't mean that Lockhart is the same as Quirrell!"
Everyone remembered the fear of being dominated by Bao @头voldemort~
Ted quickly said: "Of course not, how can this kind of thing happen again and again. I just think that Dumbledore probably knows a little about Lockhart's details, after all, they all grew up under his nose .”
"So, you guess Dumbledore hired Lockhart as a professor because he had a plan?" Harry's eyes lit up when he mentioned the plan.
Ron murmured: "This kind of person who is full of plans is really a headache. Don't plan me too."
Hermione was a little unconvinced: "Are we just ignoring it like this?"
She still wants justice and brings this liar who stole other people's stories to justice.
Ted had no choice but to comfort her: "Hermione, justice needs strength to be done. Therefore, our top priority is to study hard!"
Hermione nodded thoughtfully.
Neville raised his hand cautiously: "You said, is it possible that it is because there is really no one to find someone for the position of black magic professor?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay: Neville, you have discovered your blind spot!
A small society with less than 30,000 people, a position that consumes one person a year, this is definitely notorious~
Maybe we really can’t recruit people!
…
Early in the morning, before the sun went to work, Ted had already gotten up and started his self-study in the common room.
He has been researching a new magic for the past few days since school started.
The notebook contains a lot of predictions and designs of magic models, attempts at spells, etc.
It was still the inspiration for Ted from the howling letter on the first day of school.
This kind of magic letter that can roar directly seems to be very valuable.
If I can "record" my own voice with magic effects, it might be a good way.
The second is the issue of defense.
At that time, Ted thought about trying to stop the shouting letter and save Ron's face. In the end, I was stunned and didn't think of any good way - after all, I can't directly blast the roaring letter with a fireball in the public.
He found that he did not have the defense ability to limit the sonic attack.
In fact, the sound-suppressing spell or "close your ears and listen" should be useful. But this thing is large-scale, and can even be heard outside the auditorium. Just plugging one's own ears is deceiving one's ears and stealing the bell!
So, he combined the Suppression Curse and the Bubble Curse to develop a new kind of magic.
The progress in the past two days has been very good. I found a lot of information in Ravenclaw's secret room. Although it has nothing to do with these low-end spells, it tells some ideas and methods for developing new magic, which is very inspiring.
"Ansu, don't move~" Ted smiled kindly.
Ansu:?
"Silence Bubble~" Ted pointed his wand, and a magical force instantly formed a translucent bubble around Ansu, wrapping Ansu like a water bubble.
Ansu froze for a moment, flapped his wings and flew away quickly, but the bubble kept covering him.
"Gah~ what the hell?"
Ted saw Ansu open his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Ha! It's done!"
Ansu: That's what I want to trap! Look at my cobra moves~
Ansu suddenly made a sharp turn in the air, surpassing the flying speed of the sound-suppressing bubble in an instant, and directly pierced through the bubble and flung it out.
"Quack quack ~ idiot idiot ~" Ansu ran along the window.
"Good boy!" Ted packed his things, and the sun came out to go for a run.
At this moment, the system beeps:
"Ding~ skill magic upgrade, now it is level 4..."
It turns out that Ted's magic research and development has increased his spell level.
If you count the bonus of the wand, his spell is already level 5, which has barely reached the threshold for studying the materials left by Ravenclaw.
Of course, only the most superficial part of the information.
