44. Decryption and Card King Competition



Life after the flight competition was as peaceful as usual, the only difference was that Harry would often leave for Quidditch training in the evenings and weekends.Ron would occasionally go with him, and sometimes he would bug Magos to ask what he and Malfoy said that day. He was not an idiot, and he could feel Malfoy's change towards them after that day.Magos's answer is always to tell you in a few days that he is very busy now.He had no time to think about what he had said to Malfoy last time. Ever since he told Hermione about the parchment, Hermione was more interested in him than he was. Now she would sneak into the library whenever she had free time. He didn't He told her that Weplington had warned him at that time, saying that he had found it at an old bookstall when he was very young. Hermione believed it as soon as she heard it, and then looked around for information. She seemed to have no idea about these unknown things. The words were more interesting to him than he was.However, Magos felt that she wanted to understand the contents of this parchment before him, and then satisfy her sense of superiority as a genius.

Tonight, he finally finished reading several history of magic books that Hermione had borrowed, which were comparable to Chinese dictionaries. However, it was in vain. Apart from deepening his understanding of the unknown tribe, it did not help him. Next, he would read Hermione. Is there any good news coming later?He took out the many pages of notes he had written on his hand and looked through them again. After he and Hermione jointly translated the contents on the parchment, the opportunity had been determined, except for the last paragraph, which had no clue at all.

What they know is that this parchment seems to be something like a magic spell that the ancient tribe must learn or master.The legend is correct, that tribe did rely on monsters (magical animals) to obtain magic power, and the method was a passage that they still cannot translate.After the last sentence of warning, Hermione also knew the danger of this similar curse, but she was rarely reassured that Magos would not do anything stupid. One reason was that this method was indeed extremely dangerous and could be lost if not careful. Life, and another reason is that the monster required for this similar spell is almost impossible to obtain. The premise of that monster is that it is a monster that has not yet hatched, that is, an egg. Secondly, it must be strong, otherwise if it is a small monster with weak magic power It's not about helping the owner get magic power, but about extracting magic power, because after using this similar spell with monsters, their magic power is like two merging rivers, one cannot be higher and the other is lower. The last and most important reason is that , this egg must not only be strong, but also have weak vitality, because if the vitality is not weak, it will be directly eaten to death, and a monster egg with strong magic power but weak vitality is simply impossible to exist, even if those powerful monsters do not destroy it Those eggs with weak vitality will also die within a very short period of time.

Just as he was thinking about how to get such a monster egg, Hermione came back with several thick books.As soon as she entered the lounge, she patted her heart and said fearfully: "I was almost discovered by Mrs. Pingsi today that I borrowed a lot of books and haven't returned them yet. I think she will check the bookshelf carefully next time she sees me. I'll tell you later." These books must be returned.”

"Take it back, I've already read it all, and there's no information we need. What about you, how's your reading over there?" After hearing this, Hermione looked at him with arrogant eyes, and then raised her head proudly Book in hand.

"I found it. I found it near the forbidden book section. It was behind a row of bookshelves. I think it was either Peeves or a student who likes to do pranks. If I hadn't happened to flip it over in front of it. book, I don’t think you’ll ever find it in your life.”

Seeing Magos' excited eyes, Hermione had no interest in teasing him anymore. To her, she was already the winner, and she had no interest in the loser's flattery.Putting a large pile of books into the magic pocket, she looked at Magos, who was looking through it excitedly, and felt a little uneasy for some reason.

'Does this guy really want to try this thing where the spell doesn't look like a spell and the ritual doesn't look like a ritual? 'Then she didn't take it seriously. The conditions were too difficult. Even if he really wanted to try, it would be useless without the monster egg.She felt relieved when she thought of this, put her pockets away and crawled out of the lounge to return the books.

Magos flipped through several pages and finally found the place that was exactly the same as the words on the parchment.In addition to the translation of that text, there is a sentence in the book that this ritual requires the above-mentioned spell and the scroll of the god given by the god of the tribe.Magos was a little confused by this sentence. What is the Scroll of God, and who is that god?He frowned and recited the spell. "&@%——﹉#??&"

After reading, the parchment placed on the table slowly floated up in Magos's shocked eyes, and then fell back down again in a flash of light that was invisible to the naked eye.His heart skipped a beat when he saw this, 'Could that parchment be the so-called Scroll of God? The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was true. He quickly copied down the words and spells in the book.Then put the notes and parchment away, otherwise if Hermione got curious and discovered this scene, he would have to take the parchment to see the professor.

After putting everything away, he tried to calm his frantic heart. Now everything was ready and all he needed was his balls.He thought with an uncontrollable grin.

At night

Magos called Harry and Ron aside when they returned.

"Ron, Harry, haven't you always been curious about what I told Malfoy before? I will tell you today."

"But aren't you here for a few days?" Ron asked somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it's been a few days now." McGoss said casually with his usual expression.

Ron Magos, who was choked, continued: "Do you still remember the wizard fight?"

Upon hearing this, Harry and Ron's eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded quickly.

Magos took out two decks of cards from his body and handed them to them, "The last time I approached Malfoy, I wanted to set up an under-school organization."

"Master?" Harry and Ron looked at him doubtfully.

"It means underground, sneaky and undetectable. Don't worry about these details. Just listen to me." Magos waved his hand.

"That's what I think. Do you think that if we spread the word about wizard fighting and the professors know about it, will they ban it?" They all nodded when they heard this question.This thing is addictive and is a typical toy to lose one's ambition. If the professors and principals find out, it would be easy to expel them all.

Seeing their worried looks, Magos smiled and said: "I use the word "school down" to describe it. Another thing is that I think this game may be leaked even if we try not to let the professors know about it, right? The professors are all flying. Just cast a spell and you can find the cards hidden on me." After hearing this, Harry and Ron were completely desperate to play wizard fighting.

"But I have an idea that might prevent this from happening, and maybe even create a legend that spreads around the school."

"What can we do?" they both asked in unison.

"We make a deck of magic playing cards ourselves, so that they have the magic power to resist the flying curse." Magos said happily.

Harry and Ron looked at him in shock, and after a long time they said, "It seems we can't do it. Making magic items is too difficult for us."

"So that's why I'm looking for Malfoy, but I not only want to find people from Slytherin, I also want to bring in people from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. I don't believe in gathering our four major houses." Neither of them can make this deck of cards." Looking at Magos's rhetoric, Harry and Ron also felt their blood boiling.This is not blind, they also feel that if the four major colleges join forces to achieve this, it seems that it will not be a problem.

"But how can we be sure that the people from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are really helping us and not selling us out?" After the excitement, Harry thought of a practical problem.

Magos touched his chin, "Which one of them would say no to something that will spread the legend in the school even after graduation?"

Harry and Ron were speechless. It was true. Even they, who were only freshmen, couldn't bear to give up the temptation. How could those seniors and those who were about to graduate be able to resist this temptation...

Seeing that they no longer had any objections, Magos continued to speak his mind.

"Let's not talk about the production first. We will figure out a solution after we have gathered everyone. Now I will talk about how to make changes when the production is ready. You can listen to it first and see if there is anything missing. Don't be nervous. I will return it after it is completed. I’ll introduce it to everyone.”

"This is how I think about it. The initial number of people participating in this plan is 10 people. The number can be increased. A deck of playing cards has 54 cards. Each of us who participates in the production will have three to five cards each. Then we will design a spell, such as : In the name of the God of Gamblers, we will lose every time we bet and will never cheat." Seeing Harry and the others' widened eyes seemed incredible when he said this, he continued: "It's only temporary, but I think it's pretty good. I swear. Then take out a deck of ordinary playing cards and replace the magic card in your hand with the same one, and start playing cards. The winner gets the magic card. Note that the oath spell is not a simple spell, it is a magic card that is afraid of holding. The person with the magic card has a non-recognition setting when he loses, so even if he loses and doesn't want to give, the card will automatically fly to the winner's hand. If the wizard holds the magic card and loses, two or three Muggles can choose to agree to give it to someone or use other ways of playing cards to decide the winner. I will introduce several more ways of playing at that time. Two people with the same card are not allowed until the 54 magic cards are in the hands of different people. People play cards. When 54 magic cards are in the hands of different people, we can get hints from the card box. At this time, we will hold an under-school card competition. This is my temporary idea. You see How about it." Harry and Ron looked at each other and shook their heads again. Magos was a little disappointed. He actually hoped that someone could find the bugs in his plan so that it would be more fair.
