Chapter 87 A little troublesome, but not big.(1/2)
"I knew you were talented in this area."
John looked at the marks left by the explosion on the wall and said calmly, "The power is pretty good, much stronger than the average person, and there is still room for improvement. But the accuracy is too bad. The curse that should have hit the target hit the wall instead."
, it takes hard practice.”
Listening to John's comments, Seamus's eyes were already red.
He trembled and said:
"Green..."
John didn't seem to hear him and turned around to leave.
Seamus chased after him and said to John's back:
"Thank you! Green! I know what magic I should learn in the future!"
John just waved his hand and returned directly to Alice.
He mentored Seamus purely because he thought Seamus' talent was more interesting.
This is just a random act, just like subconsciously grabbing a leaf when walking on the edge of a green belt. It has no purpose and no expectation of any follow-up.
But that's not the case for Seamus and the other students in the Room of Requirement.
You know, Seamus has been ridiculed for several years because of things like exploding while casting spells.
Although Seamus himself knew that his classmates didn't actually have much ill intentions, they just couldn't help it.
But he still felt very uncomfortable.
And now, John has helped him turn his flaw into a unique talent!
And John didn’t ask for anything in return, he just turned around and left after teaching people.
This moved Seamus beyond measure.
at the same time.
The students who were attracted by the explosion just now finally found out what happened from the witnesses.
This suddenly changed the way they looked at John.
Even Michelle, Harry and others did not expect that John would be so good at teaching!
Suddenly, the number of people surrounding John increased several times.
After all, John's character may seem a bit weird and irritable to them, but who doesn't want to be stronger?
Besides, Michelle had already made it very clear before.
John and Alice will also be a member of... and their companions from now on.
John's strength is their strength.
After figuring this out, and after what happened with Seamus, not only did many people's hostility toward John and Alice disappear, but they also felt like they were being held in their laps!
It's a pity that John never planned to be a professor and teach people.
The reason why I joined was because I couldn't bear to refuse Michelle.
Now that the process has been completed, he doesn't want to stay here anymore.
As a result, John ignored the students' attempts to stay, and under the regretful gazes of everyone, he left the Requirement Room, turned a corner, and walked toward the principal's office.
He was going to ask Dumbledore.
Why hasn't he been told about the Room of Requirement for so long?
However, when he pulled Dumbledore out of his sleep and questioned him carefully.
Dumbledore, who was wearing pajamas with cartoon stars and patterns, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Oh! John, have you found the Room of Requirement? What a joy! What a joy!"
"Don't think you can get over it!" John stared, "Dumbledore, you have to give me an explanation!"
"It's tradition, John."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "For more than a thousand years, countless students and professors have discovered the Room of Requirement. But no matter who it is, they will not reveal its specific location and entry method casually!
Because this is a puzzle game, used to identify those who are truly smart.
Only such people are qualified to use the Response Room!
Therefore, I followed tradition and did not tell you the location directly, but only gave you a little hint!"
"What the hell tradition! I think you just want to play tricks on me! Also, I didn't receive the hint at all!"
Dumbledore ignored the first half of John's complaints, spread his hands and explained with a smile:
"I gave you a hint. Don't you remember last week, I told you that I drank too much and was looking for the toilet, and accidentally broke into a room full of spittoons and toilets?"
Hearing this, John was completely speechless.
He is not a pervert.
How could you remember a centenarian discussing his frequent and urgent urination problems caused by his age when he was drunk, and then study it in detail?
Dumbledore said again:
"Also, I know that Michelle and the others discovered the Room of Requirement and held a gathering there. So haven't they been asking you to spend more time with Michelle and relax?
You won’t be very willing later, so why didn’t I mention your helping them in front of Michelle and the others today?”
John opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Because he discovered that Dumbledore had indeed been pushing for this.
Without Dumbledore, he would not have been invited to join by Michelle, Harry and others, thus discovering the Room of Requirement.
only……
Dumbledore could have abandoned that broken tradition and directly informed John of the existence of the Room of Requirement!
But he took a big detour and talked plausibly about tradition!
In John's opinion, this is more likely to be Dumbledore's bad taste!
"Huhu——"
After taking several deep breaths, John suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, let's not mention those things! I just want to ask, you should know that the diadem is probably hidden in the Room of Requirement, right?"
"Of course, I thought of it from the beginning and searched for it." Dumbledore nodded, "But until today, I haven't found it."
"Why?"
After hearing this, Dumbledore looked at the clock and sighed:
"Michelle and the others should have left by this time. I'll take you to see them. You'll know when you see them."
After saying that, Dumbledore took John and left the principal's office directly.
They walked around three times in front of the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas silly, and following Dumbledore's instructions, after silently reciting the need for a place to hide things, the door to the Room of Requirement reopened.
And when John opened the door and went inside, he was instantly shocked.
Because what appeared in front of him was a huge space, and everything he could see was like city walls and tall buildings.
John raised his wand and cast [Luminescent Flash], and then he suddenly discovered it.
These numerous ‘city walls’ and ‘high buildings’ are all piled up with various debris!
"Now do you understand? Over the past thousand years, there have been so many students and professors here." Dumbledore said, "The things they have hidden here are too numerous to count. If you want to find the crown from so many things,
It’s simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.”
As he spoke, Dumbledore pointed to a pile of debris that was five meters high in the corner and said:
"After such a long time, even with the help of magic, I have only been able to clean up a few things."
By this time, John had recovered from the shock of their first meeting.
He nodded to Dumbledore and said:
"It's indeed a bit troublesome, but not big. Leave the rest to me."
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said:
"Leave it to you? You can't possibly do such a big project..."
"Nothing is impossible!"
John interrupted, "The crown itself is a magic item with a magical aura. And I can feel the magical aura emanating from it.
Therefore, I only need to follow the guidance of the magic aura and find all the magic items hidden inside.
The efficiency of doing this will be many times faster than searching one by one."
After saying that, John walked to a pile of debris that had not been searched and began to look through it.
Dumbledore was a little unconvinced at first, and followed John to persuade him.
