Chapter 378 Dilemma
“I thought the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was going to be a mess.” Fred whispered the thoughts of many students in the classroom.
Professor Quirrell's teaching level is far inferior to the previous two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, but he can still barely let everyone learn some useful knowledge.
The third-year curriculum at Hogwarts is still taught based on the "Dark Powers: Self-Defense Guide". This Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook is expected to be used until the fifth grade. O. w． The main content of the LS exam also comes from this book.
Of course, some professors will also selectively add some new teaching materials they need according to their own needs, such as a certain senior liar Lockhart.
On the podium, Professor Quirrell was telling students about the description of resurrected zombies and a series of countermeasures after encountering them. He once told everyone that his scarf was a gift given to him by an African prince, in order to thank himself for helping him escape. The entanglement of the resurrected zombies.
However, no one really believed the story told by Professor Quirrell.
After everyone recorded some relevant knowledge, they all looked in the direction of Albert, as if waiting for something to happen.
"Do you have any doubts, Mr. Anderson?" Quirrell looked at Albert who raised his hand to ask, and asked stammeringly.
“Professor, I want to know the difference between zombies and the legendary inferi.” Albert asked his own question, “How will we distinguish them.”
He paused for a moment, as if to let Quirrell take a breath and hear what he was saying clearly, and then continued, "What to do if you encounter an inferi."
“What’s the difference?” Quirrell didn’t really like Albert’s questions, but this genius would always raise some reasonable questions appropriately. He was now a little dizzy from the barrage of questions.
Everyone sympathizes with Professor Quirrell, but they all like to see Albert "embarrassing" Professor Quirrell.
Because they can learn a lot of useful knowledge from Albert's questions and Professor Quirrell's answers, perhaps even more than what Professor Quirrell teaches in class.
"The Inferi are 'cursed resurrected corpses' that have become 'terrible puppet' servants that can be manipulated by dark wizards." Professor Quirrell stammered, helplessly answering Albert's question.
This student, who is known as the most talented student in Hogwarts, asks questions in every class. I don’t know when he became a part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Professor Quirrell regretted a little why he answered the question in the first place, but it was already too late. If he didn't answer the question, everyone would stare at him with expectant eyes, which was a concentration they had never had during class.
“…Legend of the dark magic created by the devil who must not even be named.”
Everyone could feel that Professor Quirrell's body seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, and his voice was trembling when he said the devil who cannot even be named.
“At that time, the devil who must not even be named killed many Muggles and used their corpses to create a large number of Inferi.” Quirrell said dryly, “To be honest, this is not a pleasant topic.”
"As for the difference, the Inferi are dead corpses and puppets that can only carry out the orders of the dark wizard, while the resurrected zombies have some consciousness during life, and their essence is more similar to ghosts. Of course, in the UK, you basically don't have to worry about encountering resurrected souls. Zombies.”
“Sir, what should we do if we encounter the Inferi?” Albert asked patiently after Quirrell finished speaking.
"The Inferi have not appeared for a long time." Quirrell said uneasily. "Since the devil who must not even be named lost power last time, the Inferi have disappeared."
"However, this does not mean that the Inferi have completely disappeared." Albert continued, "As long as there are still people who master the magic of making Inferi, they may still encounter them. I have checked the relevant information and there are very few records. :The Inferi have "many uses" as "warriors or guards who don't care about their own safety."
"Yes... yes, the Inferi have many uses as "warriors or guards who don't care about their own safety." Quirrell repeated stutteringly, "It will be dangerous once you encounter a group of Inferi. "
"However, the Inferi are afraid of fire and light," Quirrell said. "Fire can burn them to death, and light can make them retreat into the shadows, making them chaotic and uncontrollable."
"Sir, can you use a spell to explode their heads to stop or destroy the Inferi? I mean clean them up." In Albert's eyes, the Inferi are puppets, similar to Resident Evil to some extent. So, can the method of destroying zombies be used to kill the Inferi?
"Well... I have never encountered an Inferi. I'm not sure... whether what you said has any effect." Quirrell stuttered, "If you do encounter one one day, I suggest Mr. Anderson not to try randomly. Inferi As a "warrior or guard who doesn't care about his own safety", he should use the correct, safest and most reliable method to deal with them, otherwise it will be a disaster once he is entangled by the Inferi."
Albert nodded, indicating that he understood.
There are actually a lot of wizards who can actually wave a wand and use blazing flames, but I am afraid not everyone who can emit flames to drive away the Inferi can do it.
Albert even doubted whether the light of ordinary luminous spells could make the Inferi fearful.
When you encounter a single Inferi, as long as you control it properly, there is no danger. However, if you encounter a group, you may have to run away.
At the time, Harry Potter seemed unable to cope.
In Albert's limited memory, where Harry and Dumbledore went to find Slytherin's Locket, there were a large number of Inferi. In the end, it was Dumbledore who started a fire and drove out all the Inferi.
Sure enough, if you encounter a bunch of Inferi in the future, you should still throw a ball of light and run away quickly. After all, things that are not afraid of death are really difficult to deal with.
“Speaking of which, why do you always like to ask Professor Quirrell some questions?”
When get out of class was over, Fred finally couldn't help but ask.
"I feel that Professor Quirrell has not performed as well as he should." Albert said seriously, "He is also a very good professor."
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Anderson.” Quirrell forced a smile as he passed by.
“Flatterer.”
Katrina looked at Professor Quirrell's leaving figure and muttered softly.
“Don’t forget, Professor Quirrell has answered all the questions I asked.” Albert reminded, “What we see on the surface may not be true.”
This judgment comes from Quirrell's deeds. Since he was able to escape from the Gringotts goblins and make them mistakenly believe that it was a dark wizard, he must be somewhat capable, otherwise he would have been killed by the goblins. .
Furthermore, the most important point is the fierce fire, also known as the devil's flame, which is difficult to control. Since Quirrell can control the devil's flame to burn through the door of the treasury, how can it be weak?
To a certain extent, any wizard who dares to play with fire without being burned to death is considered quite powerful.
The other party must have high attainments in black magic, at least much better than Albert.
Of course, there is actually another reason.
Albert found a new mission in Quirrell:
Be a good student.
Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seems to be hiding a big secret. You find that he is not as incompetent as he seems on the surface. You use a student's method to test and discover the other person's hidden strength, and try to ask him a hundred questions.
5/100
Reward: 10,000 experience points, 1 skill point, and obtain a specified skill on the target.
Well, yes, this is the main reason why Albert strives to ask questions. He needs to finish his questions reasonably before Quirrell is defeated by Harry.
