Chapter 367: Illusion Test

Xie Lin reached out and touched the lion's roar armguard on the altar.

A deafening roar sounded, the volume of which was comparable to that of the previous super-giant manticore.

Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, and his hands paused in mid-air for a while. Then his face became solemn, as if he had strengthened his determination, and he held the Lion's Roar Armguard with both hands.

A dazzling golden light erupted, instantly turning the entire secret room into a vast expanse of white. Xie Lin felt as if he was struck by lightning. A powerful warm current flowed from his hands into his body and went straight to his heart. In an instant, Xie Lin felt that his heartbeat seemed to be ignited by fire, and he howled in pain.

When Xie Lin came back to his senses, what appeared in front of him was a completely unfamiliar environment, an empty street, with many strangely dressed wizards standing around. Their clothes were completely different from modern wizards, and their fluffy wizard robes had hangings on them. It is full of carvings and all kinds of strange symbols engraved with black and blue ink.

Xie Lin couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he... traveled through time?

His feelings about himself and his surroundings at this moment were extremely real. His head full of spell knowledge, full of spiritual power, radiant magic power, and body full of strong vitality were all still in Xie Lin. This undoubtedly made Xie Lin in I felt much more at ease in this unknown scene.

Don't forget, he is a pensieve user himself, and he has also entered other people's memories for the purpose of experiments.

When using the pensieve, what is actually displayed inside is a certain memory stored in it. Schelling can only be regarded as a bystander in that memory. All the characters and creatures in the memory cannot see or feel him. Him, or talking to him, or even fighting.

But the situation he is in now is obviously different from the process when using the pensieve - what Gryffindor sealed in the arm guard is not his memory. According to Schelling's judgment, this should be something similar to the dominatrix family. Nightmare magic and illusion magic allow the subject to enter a false world dominated by their own fears.

Judging from Xie Lin's feeling of being deeply involved at this moment, he is most likely to have fallen into some kind of illusion that Gryffindor has created in advance. However, this illusion is too huge and too real - there are at least hundreds of foreigners in the whole street. There are ancient wizards with different shapes, expressions, and forms. It is difficult to guess what era it is just by looking at their clothes. Many of them have noticed Xie Lin, who is dressed in modern clothes, and gathered together to whisper to each other.

Is this...a test in the face of an unknown environment?

Xie Lin rubbed his forehead helplessly and sighed. It was indeed very Gryffindor style - the ideal heir of Gryffindor must be someone with a similar personality to himself, so it is not difficult to guess -

In this case, the Gryffindor little wizard's first stop is undoubtedly to go to the busiest bar on the street, have a drink with a few drunkards, and maybe even get into a fight. In the end, he will recognize the hero, and successfully cheat. Get the first piece of information here.

The first stop for a young Ravenclaw wizard is undoubtedly a museum, art gallery, or library. These are places that contain rich cultural, historical, and geographical information. Consulting the information there is indeed one of the ways to find out the details of this place. one.

It's hard to say for the little badgers - those who are greedy for life and fear of death like Zacharis Smith will probably find a place to hide as soon as possible, and then wait for the rescue of others. At the worst, they will have to wait until a few companions get together, and then Only those who dare to act boldly through the power of numbers; the other group, such as Cedric Diggory and Newt Scamander, usually choose to act low-key, avoid the surveillance of the surface world, and choose to communicate with people in the underground world. Secret contact...

As for Slytherin, hahahaha!

Let me show you the power of krypton gold!

Xie Lin grabbed a large handful of Galleons and scattered them on the ground. Although Galleons were minted when Gringotts founded Gringotts in the fifteenth century, Huang Chengcheng's gold coins were considered hard currency regardless of that era. !

The reason is because magic cannot create gold!

"Who can answer my question -" Xie Lin said loudly: "These gold coins are his, and they are limited to one person only. But if you answer the wrong question," Xie Lin's tone suddenly turned cold, "you will bear the consequences!"

Many people showed fearful expressions and returned to the house in unison. Even the doors and windows were closed tightly, leaving no gaps.

The corners of Xie Lin's lips raised slightly. Didn't this mean he had obtained first-hand information?

It can be seen from the magic eye that not all the people here are wizards, but also ordinary people. There is no magic fluctuation on their bodies. It can be inferred that this is a place where wizards and people are allowed to live together in a peaceful way. .

However, the eyes of people looking at me are full of vigilance. This shows that people in this place live in isolation all year round and have very little communication with the outside world, so they are grateful to people who are obviously outsiders from their appearance. Lin was wary.

Look at the surrounding buildings made of a mixture of earth, sand and stone. These were at least the fifteenth century ago, referring to Gryffindor's time, and possibly even the tenth century. Xie Lin looked at the dusty streets and felt something was wrong. He frowned and thought deeply.

He looked at the surrounding houses with closed doors and windows, as well as several bars, bakeries, pharmacies, and blacksmith shops that were still open... He finally knew where this feeling of something wrong came from - it was too clean here!

Whether it is the tenth century or the fifteenth century, in this era, European countries should still remain in agricultural societies. So why are cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys, the main products of animal husbandry, missing? Not even a piece of horse dung can be found on the ground.

Could it be that the economy of these people does not revolve around agriculture and animal husbandry? So what do these people eat?

Although magic can increase the production of food, it cannot conjure food out of thin air.

Xie Lin smiled, this fantasy world is really getting more and more interesting!

At this time, a tall man with a rugged appearance and a hint of heroism walked over. He was wearing a fiery red battle armor, with a gryphon embroidered on his chest with special ink. His fiery red hair almost made him think he had seen it. The Weasley family.

"Young man, let me answer you!" The man came forward with an uninhibited smile on his face, "Gryffindor, Godric Gryffindor, young man, are you a foreigner?"

Xie Lin was unmoved and looked steadily at the man in front of him.

Only when he came closer did Xie Lin feel the temperament that was completely different from that of the Weasley family - it was as hot as fire around him, and there was an invisible heat wave of flames pressing towards the surroundings. Xie Lin even took the opportunity to peek at his left waist. The "Sword of the Brave" hangs on his right waist, and the wand hangs on his right waist.

Well, confirmed to be a young Gryffindor.

"I advise you to get out of here quickly. I'm doing this for your own good. Okay, just give me the money!" Gryffindor stretched out his hand to grab the wallet from Xie Lin's hand.

There was no fear on Xie Lin's face and he sneered, "You haven't answered any of my questions yet. How are you any different from a robber when you rob someone like this?"

Xie Lin's reaction was somewhat beyond Gryffindor's expectations. He frowned and said, "Boy, you don't know who I am, do you? My identity, hum, I'll scare you to death if I tell you - listen , Boy, I don’t mean any harm. A terrible battle is about to happen here. If you don’t want to die, leave here quickly and give me all the money you have. The wealth you just exposed has already caused many desperate attempts. I dare say that if you don’t hand over the money to me now, you probably won’t be able to leave here alive.”

"Tsk, tsk," Xie Lin smiled. Look, doesn't this clarify the whole story? The difference is that Xie Lin himself has been involved in the storm, "Don't scare me, I just came out of the mountains. My master said that there are very few warlocks in this world who can rival me. , now you say someone wants to kill me, I want to see who has the courage!"

The word Warlock is rarely used in reality today. Its meaning is more of a certain form of honor. For example, Dumbledore's chief wizard of the Wizengamot is Chief Warlock of Wizengamot, but this word In ancient times, it actually meant battle mage, which described a wizard profession dedicated to fighting, equivalent to the Muggle Knight.

Schelling, who is well versed in the history of wizards, uses these commonly used words in ancient times precisely so that he, as an outsider, can better integrate into this world of illusions.

Xie Lin put the money bag back into his pocket. There was a gold coin clasped between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand. He flicked it lightly and flicked the gold coin in the direction of Gryffindor. "Then," Xie Lin laughed. Then he said, "You deserve this. By the way, what is the name of this place? And I just came out of the mountains. What era are we in now?"

Gryffindor caught the gold coin with quick eyes and hands, and said angrily: "Your tone is really not small, I mean it seriously, you think I'm joking! Forget it, I don't care whether you live or die - now it's ten At the beginning of the century, this was the estuary village of Woodcroft, located to the east of the River Wye. Did you know that the Wye Pterosaur was very close to the pterosaur territory, so the wizards were attracted by this? The Muggles in the village accepted it because they were needed to help protect the village."

A flash of light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes. It seemed that Gryffindor was not fabricating an illusion for himself, but allowing himself to join an adventure in his own youth, and use this to evaluate whether his performance met his standards - —

Schelling was not one of those Muggle readers who were brainwashed by wizards in his previous life. They regarded the novel "The Legend of King Arthur" specially distributed by the Ministry of Magic in the Muggle world as a treasure and regarded it as true history. They talked shamelessly about the birth of Merlin on the website. In the era of the 1990s, they often used this as a basis to criticize hard-working fan authors, using this to show the unique superiority of a troll. This made Xie Lin in his previous life often feel inexplicable, using the setting of one novel to troll another. No matter how you think about novels, this behavior is a bit...

In fact, according to the real history of wizards that Schelling is familiar with——

At the beginning of the 10th century, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table should have appeared in the world, and Schelling was no stranger to the history of the Wye River. It was here that the "Mad" Knight Cadogan, one of the Knights of the Round Table, gloriously completed his battle of fame - —Slaughter Wye Pterosaur!

As for Woodcroft, although wizards and Muggles can coexist peacefully here now, it is only because of the external threat of Wye Wyverns as a deterrent. Schelling knows clearly that in the near future, the wizards here will be expelled by Muggles and have to leave. The most famous one among this group of people is Hengis of Woodcroft. After leaving here, he eventually settled in the Scottish Highlands and established the famous Hogsmeade village in later generations.
