Chapter 33: Silverfish
[The Dark Lord's Original Scarf]
On the way to the library, Rolf was still savoring this slightly heavy-tasting limiting phrase.
The focus is not on the scarf, nor on the original flavor, but on the Dark Lord.
The product of the Demon Lord must be a fine product. Since it is Voldemort's scarf, it must not be ordinary.
Rolf glanced at the system introduction. This is a magic item that can block the breath and effectively isolate the wizard's detection.
For example, if there are suspicious people around the dark magic detector such as the peephole, it will light up and rotate, and the magic on the scarf can perfectly cover it and prevent the peephole from being triggered.
This is an item that can be combined with the Disillusionment Charm or the Invisibility Cloak. After all, many wizards can see through the Invisibility Cloak and the Disillusionment Charm. With the scarf as a barrier, the possibility of being discovered can be effectively reduced.
No wonder the Dark Lord has been hiding on the back of Quirrell's head, and so many excellent wizards in Hogwarts have not noticed it. It turns out that it is because of the scarf.
Sure enough, the most powerful treasure often only needs the simplest form.
Rolf really wanted a scarf, or the original one from the Dark Lord, it must be very exciting to use.
However, according to the task requirements, Quirrell needs to untie the scarf and let him feel the warmth of the sun, which is a very difficult thing.
Quirrell is destined not to untie the scarf casually, so he has to use unconventional means, and unconventional means may provoke the Dark Lord.
Teasing a venomous snake, no matter how skilled the snake-playing skills are, there is also the risk of being bitten.
Fortunately, Voldemort is now at his most vulnerable stage. His goal is the Philosopher's Stone, and he will not easily expose himself.
In the original time and space, the Weasley twins once took a snowball and chased Quirrell to hit the back of his head.
A snake in Pingyang is bullied by a lion, nothing more than that!
This wave of ability!!
Compared with the original scarf of the Dark Lord, Rolf is also very concerned about the magic of [Shapechanger]. After class, he plunged into the library.
The library of Hogwarts is on the second floor of the castle. Although it occupies a small area, it has a large collection of books, including many unique ancient books that are not available elsewhere.
Most of these treasures come from Ravenclaw's private collection, which she donated after the school was built... and are also the original collection of the library.
These include astrology left by Gudea of Sumer, witchcraft on clay tablets of Assyria, and necromancy handwritten on papyrus by the ancient Egyptian priest Menetho...
The Hogwarts Library is also a symbol of the spread of knowledge and wisdom in Hogwarts. When you enter such a place, you can't help but want to hold your breath and concentrate, not dare to whisper or make mischief.
Of course, the librarian, Mrs. Pince, is also an important reason for the little wizards to calm down.
She is a thin woman with a bad temper, very much like a malnourished vulture, and she holds a duster in her hand, which looks even more dangerous.
Rolf took a few special glances and found that the duster she used to clean the dust was not tied with chicken feathers, but unicorn feathers!
This kind of duster can clean dust, eliminate graffiti on books, and has a warding effect on those restless books that try to attack.
Hogwarts is full of treasures. Any inconspicuous gadget may be a good-looking magic item. It depends on whether you have a pair of eyes to discover beauty.
As a first-year student, to enter the library, you must read the library guide carefully. No noise, fighting, or secretly taking books away...
There are many rules, as many as 108. If you violate any of them, you will be deducted from the school points once you are found. If it is too serious, you may be blacklisted and banned from entering the library forever.
On the permanent ban list nailed to the wall, Rolf actually found a student named Carlo Scamander. He once brought a dragon in and almost burned the library, and was banned from entering for life.
Well, Rolf had seen this name in the family tree. According to seniority, he was his great uncle... Later, this guy was also expelled from Hufflepuff.
No wonder Mrs. Pince kept staring at Rolf after knowing his last name. The boy thought that he was also a little fan of Newt like Professor Sprout...
Fortunately, he didn't try to get close to her, otherwise he would have taken advantage of her!
After entering the library, Rove quickly found a "Magic Dictionary" on the bookshelf and searched for the entry "Shapechanger" in the dictionary.
Shapechanger is a kind of magic that can invade the consciousness of animals and control their behavior.
From the effect point of view, it is very similar to Animagus, both of which can allow wizards to move around with the vision of animals.
But Animagus is a transformation, turning oneself into an animal, while the shapechanger is the consciousness that sneaks into the body of an animal and controls it... The magic mechanism is very different.
Compared to Animagus, which can only turn into one animal, the shapechanger can invade more animals and is more difficult to guard against.
But the disadvantages of the magic of shapechanger are not small. Once the wizard's consciousness cannot surpass the animal, it will have an adverse effect on the wizard himself.
If the shapechanger invades the consciousness of an animal, the animal is killed, which will also cause extremely serious damage to the wizard's spirit, and in severe cases, it will directly cause brain death.
Rove's talent for shapeshifting is mediocre. He feels that it may be difficult for him to learn Animagus, but the magic of shapechanger is very suitable for him.
Of course, the prerequisite is to complete the system's tasks.
The boy was concentrating on flipping through the dictionary. Next to a certain word in the book, he saw a picture of a magical animal. The animal had silver-gray scales and nine tail whiskers at the end of its abdomen, like a fish.
Luofu frowned. He reached out and touched it, and saw that the pattern suddenly seemed to come alive. It quickly moved through the gaps between the lines, and finally came out of the book.
The literal meaning of "diamond" is not a picture, but a living magical creature!
There was a sudden "ding" in Luo Fu's brain.
[A domestic silverfish was detected, triggering a side mission:
Catching silverfish will reward you with magic:
【Word Devourer】
[You can eat the words in books and convert them into memories and store them in your brain]
Rove had heard Newt mention the silverfish before, which is an extremely rare magical creature that lives like a salamander.
Salamanders can only live in flames, while silverfish can only live in books. They feed on the magic in words and can swallow them.
Luofu hurriedly chased after him, but the silverfish was very fast. It swooped away and flew all over the bookshelf, constantly passing through the books.
The silverfish seemed to be afraid that Luo Fu would not be able to keep up with it. It stopped at intervals, looked back at the boy, and flicked its tail at him. It was extremely arrogant and provocative!
Luofu chased him all the way, and finally the silverfish swaggered into the forbidden book area.
Just as Luo Fe was about to step in, he heard a cold voice coming from behind.
"What are you looking for, kid?!"
"I'm not looking for anything, I'm just taking a look." Luof retracted his feet and looked at Mrs. Pingsi who was carrying a unicorn hair duster with an "honest" look.
But the disguise of 'honest person' doesn't work for Mrs. Pince, especially since the person in front of her is a Scamander, and the last name alone is enough to make her wary.
"Do you know that there is a restricted book area in front of you?" Heishifu frowned, gently waved the duster, and pointed to a rope on the ground: "You can't cross it without permission!"
"I don't know, madam." Luofu quickly apologized: "I didn't mean it. It's my first day in the library."
"Then go quickly! Next time you go near the forbidden book area, I will kick you out of the library!"
Mrs. Pince, the librarian, shooed Rolf away with a wave of a duster.
The young man sighed. He turned around and found the silverfish lying on a thick book in the forbidden book area. It was basking in the sun and rolling around, looking like it was enjoying itself.
The silverfish looked at him, its silver eyes full of mockery, and it shook its tail, as if to say:
Come in quickly and catch me!
Rolf was furious, you wait, when I catch you, I have to stuff you into the Dark Lord's original scarf, and then put you into Snape's padded underwear...
Pickled to taste!
