Chapter 660 Anduin's 'Symptoms'
Chapter 660 Anduin's 'Symptoms'
"The so-called standard is actually very simple. The main reference is your personal attributes and spell levels. I don't care whether your previous basic attributes are high or low. What I want is progress!"
"Only if you are ahead of others in terms of growth rate, can you prove your hard work and dedication to me. I don't like lazy students. If you want to get more, you have to pay more!" Anduin told them sternly. .
To put it bluntly, his training theory is a subject that trades time for ability. The harder you work, the better the effect. He hopes to use the temptation of alchemy props to increase the learning motivation of these children.
"no problem!"
After hearing Anduin's request, Ron and Malfoy actually shouted in unison, and after shouting, the two of them even glared at each other competitively.
And the other three didn't hesitate much, and immediately nodded excitedly, they all felt that Anduin's conditions were reasonable.
Especially Harry, when he first heard that Anduin was going to test his attributes, he was a little disappointed. After all, his basic attributes were outrageously low.
But after learning that Anduin was looking at the growth value, he immediately cheered up. He felt that he should still have a chance!
A poor foundation also means that there is a lot of room for improvement. After this week alone, he feels that his physical fitness has improved a lot.
So Harry, like the others, secretly made up his mind that they should make good use of the less than a month left to improve themselves.
But what they don't know is that some of them are already within the default range, and Anduin is not a pedantic person who insists on absolute fairness.
Naturally, those who have a good relationship with him should be taken care of severely, those who have a bad relationship must wear their shoes as hard as they can, and those who have a grudge against him will be killed secretly. This is Anduin's behavior style.
But now Anduin still has that serious expression, "Since that's the case, I look forward to your next performance. In a month's time, I will launch a selection for the 'Tactical Club' for students in grades 1-5. At that time, I will conduct a separate physical examination. If you are really interested, work hard."
Several young wizards nodded in response after Anduin said, and then they were sent out of the Leona.
Looking at the five people who were gradually going away, Anduin stood on the deck and stroked his chin thoughtfully. It was a bit unexpected that he was able to run into a few people today, but the result was not bad.
"It can be seen that you care about these children."
While Anduin was meditating, Leona's voice suddenly came from next to his ears. This ghostly female captain came out from below the deck very abruptly, looking at her with a teasing smile on her face.
"After all, he is a descendant of a friend, so he can't be treated like a stranger." Anduin didn't turn his head, but responded lightly.
"Then why don't you just point it out to them, especially the boy with the scar on his head, you seem to be paying close attention to him." Leona also looked at the few little wizards who were still chattering on the road, but she had a look on her face. A puzzled expression.
"It's not the time yet. Young people's minds are very complicated, especially at their current age. It's better to let them focus on training, and I'm not their real father. It's enough to urge them to move forward. .”
Having said that, Anduin couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Leona, "Does being in contact with them make you recall some of the emotions you used to have as a living person? I can still feel your clumsy performance now. A big sister with a bad personality must be very tired."
"Perhaps... some, at least better than when you were wandering around with a cold-blooded animal like you." Leona, who was still winking, didn't bother to practice after being exposed by Anduin, and her expression gradually changed after she sighed. become indifferent.
"However..." Leona paused and then looked at Anduin, "I'm afraid your purpose is not pure for showing so much concern for them. Are you afraid of becoming like me, becoming a group of people who have lost their emotions?" Han Bing, can only rely on the instinct in memory to act?"
"I don't know..." Anduin shook his head with a slightly lonely expression, "The human emotional world is a huge subject, and I don't even have the confidence to understand it, but at least I now have an excellent observation target .”
"You mean...that scar-headed kid, Harry Potter?" Leona found herself getting closer to Anduin's thinking channel.
"That's right." Anduin didn't deny it, "I noticed it when I met him for the first time. He has a special aura about him. It's... kind of like magic, but it doesn't seem to be the same. I guess it should be As Dumbledore said, Lily should sacrifice the protective spell of 'love' she cast, the magic that can directly take emotion as the core is really amazing."
In fact, Anduin discovered very early on that his emotions have become more and more indifferent in the past two years, or that he has become less and less like a 'person'. This special change has always made him very worried, even There will be a vague sense of fear.
After returning to Hogwarts, he found that his 'symptoms' were relieved when he was in contact with these emotional little wizards.
Among them was Harry. The protective spell of "love" on him made Anduin recall his thirst for knowledge in chasing the mysteries of magic and his desire for strong emotional fluctuations.
"Then if you discover anything, don't forget about me!" Leona's expression suddenly became more colorful at this time, "It would be great if you can invent some new magic that can make people feel emotional , even if it’s sadness, I haven’t experienced sadness for a long time.”
"Instead of relying on such illusory things, you might as well try to change your taste." Anduin raised his finger and pointed to Hogwarts not far away, "There are many ghosts in there, even Peeves Maybe you will gain something after contacting guys in a similar state to you, anyway, your range of movement is not just on the boat."
"Other ghosts?" Leona stared blankly at the castle in the dark, wondering what she was thinking, "Maybe this is a good idea, but right now I just want to sleep in."
After that, Leona stretched lazily, "If you don't have any urgent matters tomorrow, don't call me. I'd better learn to be lazy before I learn how to feel."
Immediately afterwards, she sank directly into the hull under her feet. After seeing it, Anduin could only shake his head speechlessly, and then he called softly, "Shalltear."
Just as Anduin finished speaking, a black shadow fell from the watchtower of the sailing ship. When he got close, he realized that it was a bat covered in pitch black. It turned out that Shalltear had been staying on board the whole time.
"grown ups!"
Shalltear turned into a human form the moment she landed, and then stood behind Anduin with a smile.
"Has the No. [-] copy been dealt with? These brats really don't know what to do, and dare to run into the restricted area at night." Anduin turned his head and glanced at Shalltear behind him.
"Don't worry, my lord, except for Lu Wei who was a little irritable because of being woken up, there is nothing unusual in the first copy, but the big dog's saliva is really disgusting, and I wasted a long time just cleaning the floor .”
After the brief report, Shalltear murmured with some complaints in his tone, "If you want me to say that you shouldn't have given the three-headed dog to Hagrid back then, look how he has raised Lu Wei. He is comparable in size now. There are too many three-headed dogs of the same age."
"I didn't expect that Hagrid's food for Lu Wei was so good. I almost couldn't recognize it when I saw it again." Anduin shook his head helplessly, "But after the first copy is built Don’t bother you to run back and forth, I will add the automatic cleaning function when the time comes.”
"Since the No. [-] instance is still under construction, why don't you just seal that room? Why don't you just pretend to make some kind of restricted area and block the door with a confusion spell? It seems like a better way?" Shalltear said. He looked at Anduin with some puzzlement.
"It's there for people to break into." Speaking of this, Anduin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Dumbledore seems to have noticed something. The attack at Gringotts before the start of school is very likely aimed at the Philosopher's Stone. went, but even the upgraded security system still failed to keep the intruder away."
"So he thinks that Voldemort may have sneaked into Hogwarts, but it is still impossible to determine the method and whereabouts of the other party."
"I see." Shalltear nodded with a sudden realization, "Then he asked you to build the No. [-] dungeon, saying that it was used to store the Sorcerer's Stone, but it was actually a trap set up to lure Voldemort?"
"That's right, so I can't make it too difficult, otherwise I can just plug a dragon on the first floor, but it's too simple and too obvious, hey... Dumbledore is always giving people problems .” Anduin shook his head dissatisfied.
"But according to your design drawings, it seems that there will be more than just this use in the future, my lord, you seem to be a little suspected of carrying private goods." Shalltear squinted at Anduin suspiciously, she knew There are more things than imagined.
"Otherwise, do I still have to give him a free job?" Anduin rolled his eyes at Shalltear, "Since Dumbledore is willing to give up the material, then we must be able to squeeze a little bit, so let's get one Isn’t it a waste of a channel that can only be used once?”
"Indeed!" Shalltear agreed with Anduin's point of view on this point, "Should we be more ruthless and extract the cost of building the second copy?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Anduin glanced at the other party dissatisfied, "I've been hiding things for a long time, and when the first copy is completed, the material money for the second copy is probably collected."
