The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

After working for most of the night, Link and Dumbledore finally set off for Hogwarts.

But unlike when they came, the transportation they used for their return trip was not Phoenix Fox, but the broom that Link always kept in the bag of the Traceless Stretch Charm.

Strictly speaking, this is a very brainstorming behavior, after all, Hogwarts Castle is far from Riddle House.

However, Link finally agreed to the suggestion made by Dumbledore, and rode a Nimbus 2001 with Dumbledore, and drove towards Hogwarts Castle against the evening wind.

The reason why Link agreed is that he needs to use this almost walking method to clear his mind.

Link believes that Dumbledore chose the broom for the same reason.

After all, the two of them have harvested too much tonight.

Among them, Dumbledore not only got rid of one of Voldemort's Horcruxes and walked through the gate of hell, but also got a resurrection stone by the way, and met his family who died.

Link has also gained a lot, and the most important thing to him is a new understanding of Dumbledore.

The last point is especially important.

Because Link has been a black Deng faction since his previous life, he always felt that Dumbledore was a cunning and cunning fellow. Although his goal was lofty and his performance was merciful, the way of doing things in this great sage model revealed a ruthless sense of injustice. This is evident in his behavior of raising Harry Potter as a pig, ready to slaughter it at the critical moment.

Link couldn't understand Dumbledore's ruthless saint-like character at all, nor did he understand his motives.

But after going through today's events, combined with some understanding of the plot in his previous life, Link found that he seemed to understand Dumbledore somewhat.

Although Dumbledore kept saying how terrifying the curse of the resurrection stone is, it can make people willing to self-destruct, and it is very calm, and even a little relieved.

But Link doesn't think Dumbledore's state is the effect of the resurrection stone curse.

If this is the case, then Harry Potter, who used the resurrection stone once in the original book, should have said "what" earlier.

So Link's personal understanding is that Dumbledore has already wanted to die a long time ago.

Because Dumbledore has gone through too many big changes in his life.

Inadequate care as a child caused his sister to be injured by Muggles and turned into a silent person. When he was young, he ran away from the family and followed Grindelwald to mess around. He accidentally injured his sister in the scuffle with Grindelwald, which caused the silent loss of control in his sister's body and killed her. He and his mother, in middle age, broke the blood alliance with Grindelwald for the sake of righteousness, imprisoned his brother/lover, and when he was old, his favorite protégé became the second-generation Dark Demon King, and wanted to rule the kingdom of terror...

He has been making mistakes almost constantly in his life, and he is constantly trying to recover.

But there were some things he was destined to be unable to make up for.

This led to a growing sense of guilt in his heart, which eventually turned into an unimaginable pain that tormented him day and night.

So, he thought of death.

Perhaps in his opinion, this should be the highest means of self-punishment.

Of course, death is only a punishment for himself, and in order to relieve the pain, he feels that he needs to do something for the world within his power.

At the very least, Voldemort, the scourge he taught himself, should be dealt with.

If you think about it this way, Dumbledore's code of conduct is very reasonable.

A person who is tired of living will naturally become extremely selfish.

In order to achieve his final compensation for the world and die calmly, he will not take into account how many people will be sacrificed along the way.

In other words, he will also feel sad in the face of the suffering and death of those close to him, but he personally feels that it is worthwhile compared to the ultimate great goal.

"madman!"

Link, who was in deep thought, read out the truest evaluation of Dumbledore in his heart.

The sensitivity of Dumbledore's five senses far exceeded Link's imagination. Even in the high altitude where the wind was blowing, he still heard Link's chanting, turned his head and said in confusion:

"What madman?"

Link responded quickly and said nonsense:

"Oh, I mean Voldemort."

"Indeed, Tom is insane at this point." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, "Don't think about it anymore, we have arrived at Hogwarts."

Hearing that, Link finally noticed that a fish-mammed white had appeared in the sky at some point, and Hogwarts Castle was erected at the brightest place of light.

Link also stopped talking, and followed Dumbledore to speed up and flew directly back to the principal's office.

"Phew! We're finally back." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief after landing, and hung his coat on the coat rack and said to Link, "It's not early, I'll go open for you later. Please take a leave of absence, you don’t have to go to class today, go back to rest. I’ll let the house-elves call you in the evening, and there are still some things that need to be discussed together.”

"Ah, I see."

Link was not polite to Dumbledore, and left the office directly.

But in fact, he didn't return to the Hufflepuff lounge. He didn't even go far. After walking for a while, he turned directly into the Response Room, or the Magic Training Ground's version of the Response Room.

For a cultivator like him who studied under Snape, how could sleeping or something be important to retrieve the harvest of this expedition?

You must know that this time he not only upgraded the Fiery Fire Spell to LV2, but also obtained a golden skill point.

After entering the Response Room, Link felt his heart beating rapidly just by looking at the golden skill point on his data panel.

No one knows better than him how outrageous this golden skill point can be.

At the beginning, he just upgraded the LV5 Shenfeng Shadowless Curse to LV6 and directly obtained the ability to freely control the power of the curse.

Since then, the power of the curse has been Link's most used and favorite skill.

It can be said that almost half of Link's combat power is obtained by relying on that golden skill point.

So if you add a little more, what will happen when it will be upgraded to LV7?

Will it directly reach the realm of pure power of the curse that Dumbledore said?

In other words, it will increase your control over the power of the curse again, officially reaching the ever-changing level, to the extent that you can use the power of the curse to simulate all black magic?

If this is the case, wouldn't it take off directly?

Thinking of this, Link hardly hesitated, and directly pressed the plus button on the back of Shenfeng Wuying LV6 with his consciousness.

However, after pressing the expected dark golden congratulations barrage did not appear, what flashed in front of him was a pure black barrage:

[Insufficient gold skill points, unable to upgrade! 】

[Supplement: Every time you break through the limit and increase the skill level by one level, the number of gold skill points required for the next level +1. That is, LV6 requires gold skill points*1, LV7 requires gold skill points*2, and LV8 requires gold skill points*3…]

"Isn't this pitiful?"

Link cursed in a low voice, his face flushed from the intense anger and even the irritation.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

How happy he was before, how angry he is now.

If possible, he even wanted to greet the maker of this system, why didn't he inform him of this rule in advance.

At least if he knew, he wouldn't be so disappointed now.

However, when the furious Link casually glanced at the Flaming Fire Spell LV2 on the data panel, he was suddenly stunned.

"Wait, I remember that the Ravenclaw crown, which is also a Horcrux, seems to be hidden in the Room of Requirement?"

Link's eyes lit up.

He had come looking for the crown before, but couldn't find it because the vault in the Requirement Room was too big.

But now it's different!

In the original book, the crown was destroyed by Draco's valet with the Fiery Fire Charm. Now Link has also learned to be fiery, and he can draw a gourd in the same way!

And he didn't have to worry as before that the movement was too big to put out the fire and was discovered by Dumbledore.

He can put out the fire now, and even if Dumbledore finds out, he can fool him with the excuse of testing the spell.

If it goes well, he will be able to get another golden skill point immediately!

Thinking of this, Link almost ran out of the room on request at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then rushed in after reciting 'a place to hide things' three times.

As it should be, the scene in front of Link has been changed to a storage room full of clutter.

Smelling the unpleasant musty smell around him, without any hesitation, he directly controlled the magic power and threw out a string of black and red fiery flames. After watching it spilled on a broken desk, it turned into a fiery snake and began to devour frantically. Everything around you to strengthen yourself.

Because the skill level is not high enough, Link can't control the flames that are too large.

Therefore, he can only repeat the process of igniting and extinguishing the fire in stages, so as to control the combustion range.

This is not an easy job, especially since it will cause a huge burden on Link's mental power.

Even so, as long as Link thought about the golden skill points that he was about to get, he felt extremely happy.

Only when the last piece of accumulated garbage was also burned to ashes, the smile on Link's face froze.

Because until now he has not seen the expected golden barrage.

"No way? No way!"

Link's volume gradually increased, grabbed his wand and confirmed that the entire storage room had been burned to the ground, and then he murmured in disbelief,

"The crown in the Response Room is gone?!"

"Did Dumbledore take it? No, no, it's impossible! If he finds the crown, he can't hide it, it's Lady Ravenclaw's relic, and Dumbledore has absolutely no reason to do that. Other professors or There is no reason for the students to find the crown, and the only people who know the whereabouts of the crown are left..." Link rubbed his chin and analyzed, "Voldemort!"

Link's expression was gloomy to the extreme. The disappearance of the crown not only meant that Link couldn't get another gold skill point quickly, but also meant that Link had completely lost the whereabouts of a Horcrux. Later, he wanted to find out who Voldemort hid the crown. Location is hard!

Feeling that he was about to lose control of his emotions, Link activated Occlumency to force him to calm down.

'Actually, if you think about it carefully, Voldemort probably relied on his traitor who is still in Hogwarts to take the crown.

Then things are simpler.

As long as the traitor can be caught and tortured, maybe the loss of the crown can be recovered.

In this case, the next battle for the third project is crucial.

More importantly, we must go back to Dumbledore to shut down Hogwarts, restrict the entry and exit of everyone in the school, and cannot let the traitor escape. ’

After finishing his thoughts, Link turned his attention to the data panel.

He wouldn't do stupid things like accumulating skill points unless he had to. For him, quickly converting all resources into actual benefits was the best option.

For now, Link has nearly 15 skills that have reached LV5.

Most of them were mischief spells that he had improved on his own, and common tool spells like Restoration, so after careful calculation, there were actually only two spells worth using gold skill points.

Full Mantra LV5 and Occlumency LV5.

These two spells were all raised to LV5 by Link after he had raised a certain level by relying on his accumulated experience.

It can be expected that the abilities that can be given to Link by upgrading the full spell should be similar to those when upgrading Shenfeng Wuying, which are basically abilities that can be used directly as combat skills.

And Occlumency, as Link's main weapon to trap Mike, the spiritual beast, is also very important to Link.

It's just that Link doesn't think this will add much to his combat power. For now, Link is more willing to improve his actual combat power as much as possible to deal with the third item of the next Triwizard Tournament.

"add a bit."

Following Link's whispers, the golden skill point quickly turned into a golden torrent and poured it into the mantra.

On the data panel, the golden frame that was originally imprisoned around the renewing spell was quickly washed away, and then quickly transformed into a dark golden circle engraved with magnolia patterns!

[The Full Mantra LV6 has been obtained! 】

hum!

The massive flow of information rushed directly into Link's brain, causing Link to cover his head in pain, hoping to relieve the terrifying pain.

In return, a mist of water spread all over Link's body without warning.

The milky white mist seemed to fly in the air like life, turning into a giant whale for a while, and a bird for a while, as if to celebrate Link.

"His!~"

Link sucked in the air and got up, and waved his wand in front of his eyes!

"Waterjet!"

The next moment, the water mist suddenly condensed, turned into a thin line almost invisible to the naked eye, and shot out suddenly, directly penetrating the floor of the Response Room.

"ice!"

The water mist quickly turned white, and turned into an ice gun, hitting the ground!

After that, white frost filled the air and instantly covered the floor under Link's feet.

Upon seeing this, Link nodded in satisfaction.
