Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

Chapter 113 Unexpected Dialogue

"Projection? How could the projection be touched..."

Xifa subconsciously retorted.

Then, he saw Alice staring at him with slightly widened eyes.

"Sifa! This is the magic world!"

...

I'm so stupid, really.

In the magic world, undead, which can speak but cannot touch, exist.

What's wrong with mere projections having these properties?

What?Why does the voice transmission of the undead speak without a medium?

Don't ask, asking is magic, it's magic, it's just unscientific!

"You're right, Elise."

After a long time, Xifa came to his senses and let out a long sigh.

After all, after decades of Muggle life, if you haven't learned something, you will subconsciously use Muggle experience to infer.

This is a very dangerous thing. If the enemy knows his thinking habits, he will use these things that are very different from the wizarding world and the Muggle world against him.

Touching the white hair on Alice's forehead, Sifa said with a smile.

"Thank you, Elise. I often use Muggle experience to look at new things. Whenever this happens, I need you to correct my perception, okay?"

Alice smiled and nodded with her eyes closed, the white hair rubbing against her palms was itchy.

"Then shall we go to Professor Leslie and let her follow us to find the source?"

See Xifa withdrew his hand and fell into deep thought.

Elise offered her thoughts.

"No!"

Cifer shook his head lightly.

"Instead of going to the source, we let the professors investigate themselves."

"Why?" Alice was puzzled.

"It's useless for us to go to things that the professor can't help, and I have a feeling that the next victim is about to appear."

"Hey? Aren't all the little wizards in the outer courtyard grounded?"

"But don't forget, the victim was hung in the corridor early in the morning."

"That is to say..."

"Yes, either someone in the outer courtyard has been replaced, or there is something wrong with our new professor."

"Hey? Why isn't it a student from our four colleges, but Professor Crouch?"

"Because I don't like his suit and leather shoes."

"Hey? You won't be jealous that he's more handsome than you, will you?"

"How is it possible? Give me a few more years to grow, why should he compare with me?"

......

After some squabbling, Xifa suddenly turned serious and said.

"From today onwards, you all have to stay by my side, or work with Professor Leslie. What I really suspect is one of the four colleges."

"Then we now..."

"Go to the herb shed and tell Professor Leslie about it. Let her have a headache."

------

Naturally, the Herb Greenhouse cannot be placed in Hogwarts Castle.

The little wizard needs to walk out of the castle through the gate, stepping on the stone road against the base of the wall.

Pass through the lush bushes, and on the next step, you can see the gate of the herb shed wrapped in green vegetation.

At this time, Xifa was holding Alice's hand, walking on this path that was at most three people wide.

Suddenly, Xifa stopped.

Elise sensed that Cepha was not tense or hostile.

Even though she can stop, she decides to do a lazy dribble.

"Stop making trouble, listen!"

Sifa shook his body, easily relieved Alice's strength, and whispered to Alice.

"Huh? What can I hear?"

Alice listened carefully, frowning.

She heard nothing except the rustling of the leaves in the breeze.

"In it, I really want to hear Professor Crouch's voice."

Sifa frowned and pointed to the bushes.

"Call God Guard!"

Alice took out her wand and waved it lightly, and a silver-white bird emerged from the tip of the wand.

"That's reckless, Elise."

"What are you afraid of? If he reprimands us, it means he has a guilty conscience!"

What you said makes sense...

Xifa was speechless for a moment.

"Hey, it's this! They must not know this."

The patron saint seemed to have discovered something, and Alice was a little excited when she received the picture that the patron saint saw.

"Left and right separation!"

With a touch of Elise's wand, the bushes parted, revealing a path that was as wide as a man's.She took Sifa's hand and got into the bushes on one side.

Turning around and turning eight times, it eliminated an unknown number of little lives that wanted to jump onto the two intruders.

The front of the two of them finally suddenly became clear.

This is a weird tree with thick trunk and crown, like a slender bamboo with a little green hedgehog on top.

The trunk has no bamboo joints, and bamboo does not grow so short.

Another plant that I have never seen before.

He stopped in front of it.

Xifa stretched out his hand to compare, and he was about the same height as himself.

But in the magic world, this kind of tree is not weird.

With this tree as the center, the ground with a radius of one meter is covered with soil.

You have to know that you have squeezed all the way, the branches of various plants are intertwined, and suddenly there is a gap, it must have its unique place.

"This is?"

"This is a golden needle sapling."

Released Sifer's hand, Alice paced slowly around the tree.

"It's obviously green, why is it called gold?"

"Green? Green because it's green now."

"What do you mean?" Xifa didn't understand, "And, what I heard was Professor Crouch's voice, why did you bring me to see this little sapling?"

"Could it be that this little sapling has the function of recording the surrounding sounds, and Crouch made a plan with someone here one night?"

Alice's footsteps stopped.

She raised her head and looked at Xifa with a strange expression.

"I have to say, sometimes, your association ability is really exaggerated."

"No way! Am I right?"

"No...not at all..."

......

"found it!"

After turning around several times, Alice finally exclaimed with joy on her face.

"What did you find? What the hell is this tree for?"

"Well, strictly speaking, this is just a part of a tree on the ground."

"This tree does not depend on fresh air to survive, but on stale air."

"So, this tree is often used in the ventilation ducts of underground facilities. It helps underground facilities to have a good ventilation effect."

"Emotion, this is the smoking machine in the magic world!"

"What, smoking machine?" Xifa explained after a while.

Alice nodded, "That's right, it's like the smoking machine you mentioned, but it's super large."

"The entire Hogwarts subterranean facility has vents that are not there, created by magic."

"As long as the ventilation pipes are connected to the roots of the golden needle seedlings, there is no need to open the pipes to the ground."

"The vents are changed every day so that foreign enemies cannot enter the Hogwarts castle through the vents."

Sifa understood that the underground walls of the Hogwarts castle were all wrapped with the roots of this tree.

Fresh air is exchanged through them.

"For this tree, just find the spores on it."

"One tap and the pipe reappears."

"Otherwise, the pipeline can only be opened again after it absorbs the impurities in it."

...

"I have a question, why can the sound at the entrance still come out intact after it removes the impurities?"

"Because it's a magical plant!"

Elise's answer made Sifa choke to death on the spot.
