His eyes couldn't help but light up, and he quickly untied the hemp rope and peeled off the gray cloth.
A round wooden stick carved with intricate and delicate patterns appeared before my eyes.
Chapter 170 Action and unexpected results
Wrapped in gray leather, besides the wand, there was also a letter.
They opened the envelopes, scanned the two text versions of the letters from top to bottom, and then exchanged them with each other.
The content is the same.
The general idea is that these three people are not native to Hogwarts and know almost nothing about magic.
In order to ensure the fairness of the exam, the magic wand that should have been given after admission was temporarily given to the students.
Misha didn't react when she read this, but Leon Toby didn't quite understand.
After all, they wouldn't be able to use a wand even if you gave them one.
Fortunately, there are instructions later.
Dumbledore set up some small programs for the wand, so that the preset magic can be activated by reciting the spell.
But the permissions granted are not many, and the number of times is limited to three times.
Currently only one "Tongtong Petrochemical" can be used.
The two thought that Dumbledore felt that a magic limited to three times was enough for them to pass.
In fact, it is because the core of the wand has limited battery life and needs to be recharged after three uses.
If it was Zhang Mu who used it, there would be no such restriction. After all, he could use his own magic power to replenish the consumption of the core at any time.
They can use the "voice lock" to control the magic wand, but they are obviously unable to do this.
"I think we should first test the power of the lower...magic."
Like a kid who had been rewarded with candy, Leon excitedly imitated the characters in the movie and struck various poses when performing magic.
Toby, who was also eager to try magic, was a little calmer: “No.
You only have three chances, don’t waste them.”
Lyon takes the opposite view: "How can we determine the appropriate time to use it without understanding the damage caused?"
There was some truth in this, and Toby began to hesitate.
However, Misha's actions saved the two from arguing.
"Petrify everyone!" She held her wand, pointed it at the single bed on the right side of the room, and chanted the spell in a low voice.
Under the curious and slightly nervous eyes of the two people, the bunk bed quickly petrified and turned into a stone bed.
"Oh! That's amazing!" Misha's little face turned red.
Toby took a step to the bedside and reached out to feel around the bed board, feeling the clear touch of stone with his fingertips.
As he touched it, he muttered to himself, "It's unscientific to substantially change the structure and form of an object from the bottom up."
“That’s why it’s magic.” Leon came running over and touched the stone bed everywhere. “How lucky we are to be students of Hogwarts!”
"There is a chance." Toby came back to his senses and straightened up. "If we fail the entrance exam, we all have to go home."
"Well, for Hogwarts, come on!"
Leon's eyes were bloodshot with excitement.
He has always been full of illusions and longings about magic, but imagining it a thousand times in his mind is not as good as seeing the magic performed in person once.
He gritted his teeth and swore in his heart that he must not fail.
Rather than miss out on magic and Hogwarts, he would rather jump out of the balcony window of his apartment on the eighteenth floor.
"Set off."
Toby rubbed the wand all over with his hands as if he were caressing a lover. If he was given enough time, the wand would probably be polished to a patina.
"Misha..." Leon didn't rush to lift his feet, but looked at Misha with a worried look, "This action is very dangerous, we..."
Understanding what he meant, Toby waved his hand: “She’s also a freshman at Hogwarts.
And don't underestimate Misha, you know, her letter was delivered by Mr. Dumbledore himself."
"Uh, have you discovered some powerful talent of Misha?"
Toby closed his mouth in thought, his expression gradually becoming serious: "I think Mr. Dumbledore has his own intentions."
"Just didn't find it?"
"Yes, but that's not important."
No, it's important.
Of course, Leon didn’t say it out loud. He turned around and bent down to tell Misha: “Remember not to run around later. Follow us closely.”
"kindness!"
"Let's go."
Toby was in front, Leon was behind, and Misha was in the middle. The three of them maintained their formation and walked out of the house, heading towards the train conductor's rest area at the front of the train.
To lower the enemy's guard and not draw attention, they put their wands in their lower backs.
Misha is small, so it is inconvenient for her to walk like this, so she tucks it into her sleeves. Thanks to the loose winter clothes, it looks barely normal.
They were not far from the front of the train, separated only by carriage No. 2.
Perhaps because they had been here before, the conductors who were sitting around a table did not stop them to ask questions and allowed them to safely reach the door of the room where Claysie was being held.
"Dongdong--" Toby held the wand behind his waist with his left hand, trying to steady his trembling calves as it was his first time facing a magician.
"crunch-"
The door was still half-open, and the assistant conductor's burly figure blocked the view of those who tried to peek into the room: "Who... is it you?
Detective, have you found anything?"
"Yeah." Toby smiled and replied, "I have some questions and hope to ask the suspect."
"of course can."
He moved aside, revealing the dim room, and the three of them walked in one after another.
The room was not big. For some reason, although the berth rooms were equipped with electric lights, there was a kerosene lamp hanging on the ceiling here to provide light.
Squinting his eyes slightly to adjust, Toby soon saw Claysie and Wino sitting on the interrogation chairs in the middle of the room.
They seemed to be unconscious, their hands handcuffed to the armrests of the chairs with half-arc iron plates.
This is……
Just as doubts arose in Toby's mind, he suddenly heard the sound of door hinges turning behind him.
"Click——"
He looked back and saw the assistant conductor's gentle smile, which looked a little sinister under the dim light.
"Your desire to kill me without alerting the conductor is strikingly similar to my own.
That is, without alerting the conductor."
trap!
Toby's pupils suddenly shrank. He took out his wand with his left hand and a pistol with his right hand. He pulled the trigger and shouted, "Everyone..."
"Except your weapons!"
The wand and pistol flew out of his hand, hit the wall behind him and fell to the floor.
Leon, who was a beat slower to react, finally raised his wand: "Command..."
"Collapse!"
Leon felt a sharp pain in his head, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
"You naive little guy, you don't even know what magic is, and you have the guts to come and cause trouble for me?"
Misha seemed frightened and stepped back in panic until she ran into the wall with nowhere to go.
Toby, with a grim expression on his face, saw that when the deputy conductor's eyes moved away from Misha indifferently, she immediately retracted her little hands into her sleeves.
Feeling that things were turning around, Toby's mood, which had fallen to the bottom, was slightly lifted. He spoke to attract the attention of the deputy conductor: "Who are you?!"
"Me?" He still had that sly smile, "I am the Dark Lord's most loyal... Expelliarmus!"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly turned around and raised his wand, and the wand that Misha had just stretched out from her sleeve was bounced into a dark corner.
It’s over.
Toby gritted his teeth. It was too dark and I couldn't see where the pistol and wand were.
"Are you ready for the baptism of death?"
Seeing the deputy conductor's wand pointing at him, he clenched his fists and prepared to make a final attempt.
"Ager, stop teasing the little guy."
Chapter 171 I almost thought you had been to the "world" before
The darkness in the house was dispelled by the bright light.
When Toby instinctively raised his hands to cover his eyes and then put them down, he saw Dumbledore holding a glowing wand.
After a moment of silence, Toby asked blankly: "Why are you..."
"I have to go back to Hogwarts too, why can't I be here?"
"But, I remember you had a flying car..."
“Don’t ignore the beautiful scenery along the way because of anxiety.”
Dumbledore smiled and walked to the wall, pulling aside the curtains.
Some dazzling sunlight shone into the room through the glass, and Toby unconsciously moved closer to the window.
