Chapter 30 The Illusion Curse
The Gryffindor common room was crowded with students in the afternoon, and everyone was sitting on the sofa chatting.
The sofa seats in the common room were limited, and there were too many people. It was crowded and noisy. Albert had no intention of staying in the common room. He posted the class schedule for the first-year students on the bulletin board, and put the camera and photos together. After returning to the dormitory, I went directly to the library on the fifth floor of the castle.
There were no other students in the library, and that’s right, even the Ravenclaw students, few would set foot in the library before the official start of the semester.
The only one in the library was Mrs. Irma Pince, the administrator. She sat alone behind the counter and read quietly.
When Albert walked to the counter, Mrs. Pince raised her head, seeming a little surprised that someone would come to the library at this time.
“Madam, excuse me. I’m looking for some books on magic. Do you know which row of bookshelves they are on?” Albert asked softly.
Actually, Albert could find it by himself, but there are a lot of books here, which is time-consuming, laborious and unpleasant. Asking the librarian directly is the fastest way.
Mrs. Pince glanced at Albert, raised her hand and pointed to a row of wooden bookshelves and said: "Area C, the fifth bookshelf."
Albert looked in the direction of the other person's finger, said thank you, and then walked towards the bookshelf in Area C. His eyes paused, and he paused for a moment on the rope leading to the restricted book area, and continued walking in. In the fifth bookshelf, there are many books about magic spells.
When Albert reached out and brushed the spine of the book, his fingers couldn't help but pause, because two tasks actually popped up on his panel.
A reading maniac.
As a person who likes reading, how can you miss the largest magic library in the UK?
Have read a total of 100 1-inch thick books,
Reward: Master 3 types of magic at random and upgrade them to level 3.
Current:0/100
Magical restricted area.
There are many secrets hidden in the restricted area of Hogwarts. As a magic lover, how can you miss them? If you can borrow a few books from there and study them carefully, it will help improve your magic level.
Succeeded in persuading five professors to allow you to borrow five books from the restricted section.
The bonus skill level is increased by 1 level.
Current:0/5
In other words, both missions are sinkholes!
It is not easy to read a hundred books, and they are 1 inch thick. Does this mean he has to read a hundred brick books?
It can kill someone if hit.
This task cannot be completed in an instant. It can be completed within three years, thanks to Merlin's protection.
The second task is even more tricky. It is not easy to get the borrowing notes from the restricted area from the professors.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to obtain signed notes from five professors.
In Albert's image, the easiest one is probably Gilderoy Lockhart.
However, the difficulty is high and the rewards are rich. The skill level is increased by 1, which is much more powerful than skill points.
Not thinking about these tasks now, Albert eliminated distracting thoughts and pulled out a spell book. The name of this book is "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century".
After reading the catalog, Albert lost interest in the book. He did not find the Disillusionment Curse in the catalog.
Although other spells are good, they are of no use to Albert now. Learning these spells requires a lot of time and energy, or using the stored experience pool.
Although there is still a lot of experience in the experience pool, Albert does not want to use it.
After putting "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century" back on the bookshelf, Albert took out another book called "Achievement of Spells", which was an introduction to spells. Albert found the Disillusionment Curse in it.
Unfortunately, the book does not introduce the method of casting the Disillusionment Curse, but only introduces some attempts at spells.
However, from the information provided above, Albert found relevant records of the Disguise Curse in "Selected Spells of the Nineteenth Century".
This is undoubtedly good news.
Albert took "Selected Spells of the Nineteenth Century" and sat at the desk in the library, opening the book and reading it carefully.
The invention of the Illusion Spell was inspired by the chameleon. The spell can make a person blend into the surrounding environment to achieve the effect of invisibility.
A skilled wizard is not easy to detect when using the Disguise Spell, but a poor wizard has a hard time hiding it from others, because the body cannot blend into the surroundings, making people feel inexplicably abrupt.
While Albert was concentrating on reading about the Disillusionment Curse, his chair was pulled away. He looked up and found that the other person was the Ravenclaw girl he had met in the auditorium in the morning.
Seemingly aware of Albert's gaze, the other party also looked up, nodded slightly towards Albert, and returned his attention to the book.
“As expected of Ravenclaw.” Albert muttered in a low voice, continued to read the precautions for the Disguise Curse, and prepared to find a place to practice.
The next thing that needs to be done is to find the solution to the Disembodiment Curse.
Although the duration of the Disillusionment Curse will not be too long, if you don't master the method of breaking the curse, you may have to wait for the effect of the spell to disappear before it can automatically reveal itself. This is not a good idea.
There is no record of the end of the spell, but Albert found the Revealing Spell in "The Achievements of the Spell."
Albert took the "Selected Spells of the Nineteenth Century" and went to Mrs. Pince to borrow the book. He also picked up a stone outside the castle and used it as a target for practice. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to use the spells he had not mastered. Use it on yourself.
Just as Albert was thinking about where to go to practice his spells, the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan appeared panting in the foyer.
“Where did you go at noon?” Albert asked, looking at the three of them.
"Fifth floor, mirror." George was out of breath and couldn't even speak clearly.
“Where does that passage lead to?” Albert asked.
"Outside the castle, let's go to Hogsmeade Village." Fred's face was filled with an excited smile. On their first day at Hogwarts, they actually discovered a secret passage leading outside the school.
Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "So...how many hours did you spend in Hogsmeade before coming back?"
"No, that secret passage is very long. We walked for at least nearly an hour."
"You...are so awesome!" Albert could barely squeeze out these words. Walking an hour away would be a torture for him.
After all, as a salty fish, why do you have to work hard to drill into a secret passage when you can sit on the sofa and read a book, and it takes two hours to get there and back?
Why is this so troublesome?
"This is my work." Albert raised the book in his hand and said, "I borrowed it from the library."
“You found the spell.” Fred realized what Albert was referring to.
"Well, I found it." Albert admired Fred's wit. "However, it is a bit difficult to master this spell. If you want to learn it, you must be mentally prepared."
