Chapter 75: Escape From the Secret Room
divination,
As a very special kind of magic, it is not only inherited among Muggles and wizards, but also exists among some highly intelligent biological groups such as mermaids.
But there are few races that attach as much importance to divination as the centaurs, and to the fact that each person is a master of divination. Apart from hunting, what they do most every day is to keep their feet on the ground, look up at the stars... and appreciate the vastness of the universe and the infiniteness of time and space.
Luo Fu has always been curious about the observation methods of the centaurs. After all, with their small tribe and industrial level, it is impossible to build a high-precision telescope.
Is it all based on naked eye observation?
Luofu has never been to the centaurs tribe, so it is difficult to understand the details, but the centaurs are so obsessed with it, and naturally they have their own uniqueness in the field of divination.
It's as if Nymeria can divine the habitat of Vasvar and calculate that Rolf will pass by... At least it proves that she is not like Trelawney who talks too much.
As a reward for the transaction, Rolf needs to give Nymeria a batch of magic potions, including but not limited to hemostatic drugs, antidotes and other items.
There are also herbs in the Forbidden Forest, but simple herbs are definitely not as effective as potions, and you may encounter a centaur tribe, so it is better to trade with Rolf.
As the first transaction between the two parties, it is definitely not a one-time transaction, but multiple transactions... There will be long-term cooperation in the future.
Nymeria's price was quite reasonable, not as big as the lion's, and Rolf agreed readily without haggling.
It was a transaction that satisfied both parties.
Nymeria immediately lit a bonfire, and the blazing flames reflected her wild face.
Nymeria began to sing, and under the vine-woven clothes, the huge fruit swayed back and forth, shining with a milky white luster.
She threw sage and mallow into the bonfire, which instantly gave off a rich grassy scent and sent smoke rising straight into the sky.
As the smoke gradually rose and the chanting gradually died down, Nymeria closed her eyes.
There was only the hissing and crackling of the campfire in the air. Rolf looked at Nymeria with his blue eyes, quietly waiting for the prophecy.
Nymeria suddenly opened her eyes, and Rolf raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "Did you figure it out?"
"Uh...no!"
"..."
Luofu was speechless for a moment. You were chanting and making a bonfire, making the ceremony full and making people's blood boil. He even took off his pants and just said... No?
"I can't see the location of Tom Riddle's diary you described through the fireworks." Nymeria said softly:
"There is a powerful force that confuses the location of the diary."
"A tremendous strength?"
"A profound anti-prophecy magic." Nymeria whispered:
"Some wizards don't want their things to be divined by soothsayers, so they choose to cast this kind of protective magic. Many cemeteries also have them, which can prevent wizards from stealing them."
"That's it." Luofu narrowed his eyes. He had no experience in divination and really didn't understand the taboos involved.
"So, who is this Tom Riddle?" Nymeria asked curiously.
"Does it matter who he is?"
"Of course." Nymeria hesitated for a moment and said softly: "As long as it doesn't involve too powerful a wizard, my calculations will be fairly accurate. But if it does, it will easily lead to backlash!"
"Those famous prophets in history were generally short-lived because they divined things beyond their capabilities."
Nymeria seemed to be afraid that Rolf wouldn't believe it, so she stared at him and said, "I won't lie to you!"
"Okay, Tom Riddle is Voldemort." Rolf said calmly.
"..."
Even though Nymeria is in the centaurs tribe, she still knows who Voldemort is!
"That doesn't count as a diary. Please help me divine who attacked Filch." Rolf hesitated:
"This is Filch's hair. There is definitely no powerful wizard involved this time."
Since the diary cannot be calculated, the diary can still be found by divining who attacked Filch.
Nymeria threw the hair into the flames. The dim flames licked the gray sky, and black smoke rose, twisting and turning.
Nymeria continued to sing, and her body danced gracefully... Needless to say, her performance alone was worth the price of admission!
The fire quickly extinguished, and Nymeria suddenly said:
"If you move quickly, you can see the man in a room on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle."
Nymeria quickly drew a diagram of a location on the ground.
Such a direct answer surprised Luo Fu.
Horse people like to end with "Tonight's xx is very xx". Even Field's oracle, which likes ambiguity, speaks more straightforwardly than them.
I didn't expect Nymeria to be so direct.
Luofu stepped onto the broomstick and said in an urgent voice: "I will deliver the potion."
After leaving these words, he rode his broomstick in a beautiful arc in the air and ran towards Hogwarts.
Nymeria watched the boy disappear, and then wiped the sweat from her chest. It was her first improper deal with a wizard... She was a little nervous.
Rolf flew through the air at an extremely fast speed. It only took him five minutes to reach Hogwarts Castle from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
But when he was about to arrive, he suddenly slowed down.
The broomstick was so loud when flying at high speed that Hermione was woken up last time and saw him from the dormitory window.
Rove certainly has lessons to learn from.
Sure enough, night tours are all acquired through experience!
Rolf entered the castle with ease and ran towards the second floor according to the location given by Nymeria.
Based on his understanding of Hogwarts, it seemed to be the bathroom not far from the school hospital.
Rolf's steps became slower and slower, and he became invisible, completely covering his breath. When he was about to reach the bathroom, his heart skipped a beat.
There was a lot of food scattered on the ground, as if someone went to the school hospital and was caught in the bathroom.
When he arrived at the door of the bathroom, Bowtruckle had jumped to the door handle and opened the locked wooden door.
Rolf did not hide on the side, but stood at the door of the toilet, which was... bold!
A short wizard, wearing a black robe, with his face completely covered, squatted next to a witch.
——Mrs. Pince!
Mrs. Pince suffered similar torture to Filch, with black smoke coming out of her wounds. The black-clothed wizard was holding a bottle in his hand and collecting the black substance.
Seeing the door suddenly opened, the black-clothed wizard, who was fully alert, raised his wand, but did not point it at the door, but fell on the wall beside him.
After a flash of red light and a loud noise that pierced the eardrums, the wall collapsed with a bang, and the rubble fell on Madam Pince on the ground.
The first reaction of a normal wizard is to attack the wizard who opened the door.
But the black wizard was obviously more cautious. He didn't care who the visitor was. He wanted to get out first... So the first choice was to blow up the wall.
No matter who the visitor was, he was definitely an enemy, not a friend. He would not watch Madam Pince being crushed to death by the rubble.
Attack and save!
The water pipe in the bathroom burst, and the water flow originally rolled towards the black wizard, but had to change direction and cover Madam Pince.
The black wizard was about to leave from the collapsed wall, but another column of water rose up and turned into a water wall, blocking the way.
The black wizard turned and ran deep into the bathroom and went directly into a cubicle. This behavior made Rolf stunned.
He continued to control the water flow, sealing the surrounding walls, forming a perfect secret room.
After Rolf moved the rubble away, he bent down and picked up the bottle that the black wizard had not taken away in time. The bottle was filled with black matter.
At this moment, a ball of fire appeared in the bathroom, and then a crimson bird appeared out of thin air, holding an old man under its claws.
Apparently, the explosion just now alarmed Dumbledore.
Rolf put the bottle in his pocket and then slowly appeared.
Dumbledore didn't expect to see Rolf here. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the boy hurriedly say:
"Professor, someone attacked Madam Pince. The person just entered the compartment and hasn't left yet."
Dumbledore's face was serious. He raised his wand and waved it gently, and the wooden board of the compartment disappeared.
Rolf frowned.
Because... there was no one in the compartment.
