"That's it?! Don't do anything anymore?" Andersen asked curiously.
"Don't worry, he's only 11 years old. If you press him too hard all of a sudden, it may arouse his rebellious psychology and run directly to Lockhart. That's not worth the candle."
"Well..." Andersen nodded after hearing Linde's words, but then thought, "Then he won't go to Lockhart?"
"Probably not. He should understand tonight that neither I nor Lockhart can handle him. Now two-faced is his best choice."
"As long as one side doesn't collapse, he will always be two-faced with a fluke mentality, right!" Andersen also thought of the follow-up. "But he's only 11 years old, can he think of so much?"
"Yes!" Linde smiled.
Judging from what's going on now, this Colin Creevey is a man with a little brain.
Not long after returning to the lounge, it was curfew time.And Colin came back not long after Linde came back, and he seemed to have regained his emotions.
Linde glanced out the window.
The full moon is tomorrow night.
On Harry's side, they were still talking about finding the basilisk, Hermione was still trying to stop them, Ron had been turned against him, and the situation was three to one now.
And it was predictable that Harry should have been traveling at night these days, in order to find the poor basilisk.
Linde returned to the familiar corner, simulating the operation of refining medicine tomorrow over and over again in his mind.At the same time, he was still thinking about another thing.
Should I tell Dumbledore about Lockhart?
First of all, he was not sure who Dumbledore believed, nor did he know whether Dumbledore was willing to help him.Even if Dumbledore is willing to help him, what is the subsequent price?
To be honest, he owed Dumbledore enough already.
Let's investigate again!In Hogwarts, safety should be guaranteed...
The next day, early morning.
Anyway, the weather is fine today.The moon is round and bright.
Linde carried the box and came to the Astronomy Tower leisurely.After confirming that no one was there many times, Linde carefully moved the astrolabe, orbiter, globe, and astronomical telescope away with the floating spell, leaving an open space on the astronomical tower under the moonlight.
"Be sure, be sure to pay attention to whether there are people around!" Linde repeatedly told Andersen.
Thinking about it, he could only secretly ruthlessly say that he hadn't learned the sound barrier spell yet.
After exhorting, Linde put on a black robe and hat, and wrapped himself up.Afterwards, his body under the robe gradually swelled up.
Only the exposed arms and face are covered with scales, the hands are webbed, and the face has long tentacles, just like octopus feet. They hang out of the robe, shaking dishonestly.
The peristalsis of these tentacles is like a person's breathing, and it will remain in such a state if it is not actively controlled.
Afterwards, Linde opened the box and climbed out.
But after a while, he directly moved out the big water tank.When leaving the mouth of the box, just like Doraemon taking out a large prop, the water tank gradually returns to its original size as it leaves the mouth of the box.
Linde kept the water tank as stable as possible, because there was still a crucible inside, and inside the crucible was the liquid medicine he had prepared before.
puff!
Accompanied by the small sound of gas squeezing, Linde finally put the water tank down and placed it in the open space of the Astronomy Tower.
Linde glanced at the moon.The location is just right, now to the next hour or so.It's the best moonlight moment in this place tonight.
These are what he settled on last night and during the day.At Hogwarts, this is the place where the moon shines best at this hour.
And apart from here, there is no other place higher than here.
Thinking, Linde glanced around.Andersen's absence meant that there was no problem.
After that, he quickly returned to the box.Take out the gill grass.
In fact, this step is very simple.
Plant gill grass in this thick whale blood.
After two days of refinement, the whale blood has thickened, like mud.The mandrake leaf fragments inside are also missing.Reminds Linde of a poem.
Fallen flowers are not heartless things, into Chunni more quadrangle.
Come and give me gill sac grass!
Thinking about it, Linde directly opened the bottle, grabbed the gill sac grass, and inserted it directly into the whale blood mud.
The gill grass does not specifically divide the rhizomes. Its planting is a bit like the stems of strawberries, which can live in the soil.
It's just that any part of the gills can be put into the soil.Not limited to what stems and leaves.And the current soil is thick whale blood.
After inserting the gill sac grass, Linde pulled it a little, trying to spread out the exposed part as much as possible to absorb the moonlight.
After doing this, Linde withdrew his hand.With a flick of the forearm, the magic wand in the robe was thrown out and he firmly grasped it.
Aim the tip of the staff at the moon in the sky, wave it slowly, and at the same time mutter words,
"The light is coming!"
The silver-like moonlight seemed to be drawn towards Linde's staff, and Linde's surroundings seemed to be a little darker.
But at the tip of his staff, it became brighter and brighter.It was as if those silvery moonlights were woven into a curtain by ingenious hands.
This spell is used to gather light.
Linde suspected that Dumbledore's Deluminator had something to do with this spell.
Thinking about it, Linde's hand didn't stop.His wand slowly tugged at the Moonlight Veil, leading it into the cauldron of the water tank.
After slightly adjusting the refraction of the water, those moonlight curtains began to gather in the crucible in the water tank under Linde's command.
The brightness of the moonlight seems to have reached a limit and it will no longer brighten, but has always maintained that dazzling light.
And they gathered at the mouth of the crucible, as if Linde had refined something amazing, with its own halo effect.
Linde was as motionless as a stone statue, and Moonlight had been running towards the cauldron under his command.
This is the difficulty of this step.
When will the gills bear fruit, and when will the calculation be over.
Normal gill weed will not bear fruit, but what Linde wants is the fruit of abnormal gill weed.
The moonlight is an extremely important part of alienating the gills, and it is also the catalyst for it to bear fruit, which is indispensable.
Linde didn't know when it would end. According to the records in the book, and then translated from the words of the little murloc Green's general knowledge of murloc culture—one to two hours.
It should be possible, as long as the amount of magic power gushing out is maintained steadily, it is relatively easy to control.
After all, the Light Concentrating Curse, that is, the Light Swelling Curse, is not a difficult spell.
Of course, these are all his guesses.The original text records that a thing called a moonstone is used to achieve high-intensity moonlight concentration.
So Linde estimated that the time span for casting the Spotlight Curse was quite large.There are many variables in this, such as the difference between the spotlight spell and the moonstone, the difference in the concept of time between murloc culture and human culture, and so on.
Anyway, Linde was ready to fail.If it still fails this time, then next time he will set up multiple convex lenses, that is, magnifying glasses to try to focus light.
The advantage of the magnifying glass is that the focus is more stable, but the disadvantage is that it has to adjust the direction with the rise and fall of the moon...
Of course, this is for the record.Rather than thinking about these things, you still have to work hard to do the things in front of you.
Immediately, under the super control field of Occlumency, Linde directly eliminated distracting thoughts, and instantly entered the state of immersive spellcasting.
Time passed by, and suddenly, there were pattering footsteps on the spiral staircase of the tower.
Filch is here on patrol.
Just as he was about to continue going up, he suddenly heard a murmur coming from the corridor not far below him.
"We...the kitchen...hehe!"
It was a little far away, and Filch couldn't hear clearly, but what was certain was that this was definitely an unruly little guy.
Thinking about it, Filch silently opened his mouth wide, the corners of his mouth widened to the maximum, it was really scary.He panted heavily, he was afraid that if he laughed out loud, he would scare away the brats below.
At the same time, he turned his head and started to walk down.
"Lorris, go!." Seeing that his cat was still looking at the tower, Filch called softly.
Mrs. Norris heard the master's call, and then reluctantly turned around and followed the master's pace.
Naturally, Filch didn't notice its abnormal shape, and now he was only thinking about how to deal with the brats below after he caught them.
There is more than one of them!
Thinking about it, he couldn't help rubbing his hands with the flies.
But after a while, the sound of chasing and Filch's low shout sounded from below.
Looks like he didn't catch the "little ones at night"
But after a while, Andersen flew back again, listening to Filch's curse below, he showed a very humane sneer.
The "little guys who wandered at night" just now were written by Andersen.Crows are best at things like learning the tongue.
Thinking, Andersen turned his head to look up again.There, Linde has been standing like a statue for almost an hour.His face was pale, and he was sweating profusely on his face.The murloc status also faded early!
How long will it take?
Andersen didn't know, neither did Linde...
Pfft!
The sound of something suddenly emerging from the water woke Linde up.I saw a blood-red round fruit slightly smaller than a fist floating on the top of the water tank.
The fruit looked as if it had been soaked in thick blood for an unknown number of years.He was just floating there, instinctively making people uncomfortable, as if he had seen some very visually impactful pictures, such as the "Don't Search" series circulated in previous lives.
call!
Linde let out a long sigh of relief, unable to maintain the spell anymore.The condensed moonlight scattered all at once, and he also collapsed on the ground.
Reluctantly holding the water tank up, Linde took out a clean glass jar from his pocket and filled it with some water.He picked up the fruit carefully with his hands.
The fruit was exquisite, and Linde pinched it slightly.It just felt like it was filled with water.
That's what it feels like.
Except for a layer of blood-red skin, this fruit is full of liquid, a liquid with a density lower than water.These are all recorded in the book.
Thinking about it, Linde smiled.Carefully place the fruit in the jar.
At the same time, there were rapid and unpleasant cat meows and Filch's meows in the corridor.
Andersen flew up, cooing quickly.
"Tried to stop it, but he felt that the guy up there had no way to run this time. Capture the guy up there first!"
"laugh!"
Linde curled his lips, this Filch is really annoying.
It was attracted by Linde's sudden blow to the ground just now.Thinking of this, Linde's right head still hurts, and it will probably be swollen tomorrow.
Then, he quickly put away the jars containing the fruit.With the last of his strength, he turned into a murloc.Push the tank directly into the case.
boom!
There was the sound of glass breaking.But Linde closed the box very quickly.The sound is not so crisp and harsh, rather dull.
Only an awake Filch could hear.
The water tank is temporarily useless, so be it!Hurry up and pack it up first.
And Andersen there.
vomit!vomit!
Andersen spit out a big "meat egg"
The meat and egg grew rapidly, like an uncontrolled cancerous tumor, but in the blink of an eye, it was the size of Linde's head.Blink again.The diameter has exceeded Linde's chest length.
The tentacles pierced out from all directions of the meat ball, like a broken shell.A large Andersen came out of it.
At the same time, Andersen, who was originally a small one, fell to the ground and decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, bleeding out blood and pus.These bloody pus evaporate and disappear visible to the naked eye.
In the end, only a small Andersen hide was left.
The large Andersen used the tentacles in his mouth to roll up the skin of the small and the meat shell that had just conceived him, and brought them directly into the abdominal cavity.
Andersen looked at Linde and spread his wings. Linde didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the box, ran with all his might, and leaped out of the castle.
