Hogwarts Card System Chapter 094

Ted saw Neville looking a bit lost and continued, “Magic is amazing, and there are many ways to extend life in the wizarding world. I mainly want to see if I can achieve anything in alchemy. Hogwarts doesn’t teach that. Also, you two need to study hard; I don’t want to be laying flowers on your graves a hundred years from now.”

Neville was stunned, a vivid image appearing before his eyes: a still-young Ted placing a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on his tombstone.

In that instant, he seemed to understand the benefits of longevity.

Ted diligently scraped for a while, with no results.

Philosopher’s Stone: Master Ted, stop scraping, it tickles~

Ted tossed the Philosopher’s Stone aside. “Damn it, why is it so hard?! Ugh~”

Neville caught the Philosopher’s Stone Ted threw, examined it, and then placed it on the ground. “I wonder where the professors are? And how are Harry and the others?”

Ted reassured him, “Don’t worry, this is Hogwarts. As long as Dumbledore is here, they won’t encounter any danger.”

At this moment, the old sly fox Dumbledore, who had been observing in the shadows, felt his face burning.

Then he silently walked to the doorway, dispelled his special hidden state, and pretended to have just stepped through the fire-gate. “Oh dear, Neville, Epiphany, are you alright?! I hope I’m not too late!”

Ted: “Professor, you’ve arrived just in time.”

…

This time, Neville wasn’t ambushed by Voldemort, so there was no fainting spell.

Ted and the others were finally brought to the surface. Although there were a few dangerous moments throughout the process, in the end, only Ron twisted his ankle; everyone else was fine.

Professor McGonagall, Snape, and others, who had been called by Harry and the others, were also persuaded by Dumbledore to go back. He said he would handle the matter.

Since the professors all knew Dumbledore had orchestrated this event, they didn’t say much, merely instructing Ted and the others to rest well and to notify them immediately if they felt unwell.

Perhaps not having decided what to tell them, Dumbledore also sent Ted and the others back to rest. After all, it was late at night.

He didn’t even bother to scrape off some powder from the Philosopher’s Stone for Ted and the others. That stingy old man!

Ted was exhausted when he returned, but he still had his gains to check!

First, there were three cards dropped by the troll:

[Mana Vision Nictitating Membrane (Blue)]

Material Card

A special transparent eyelid from a modified troll, capable of seeing the colors of magic.

Note: Although not particularly valuable, it is indeed rare because there is only one such modified troll.

[Strength Card (Blue)]

Spell Card

Gain 1 point of strength after use.

Uses: 1/1.

Note: Ineffective if Strength attribute exceeds 20 points.

[Troll Strength Wristband (Blue)]

Item Card

A wristband made from troll hide.

Equip: + 1 Strength.

Note: Ineffective if Strength attribute exceeds 20 points.

Note: Safe and odorless, please wear with confidence.

This was an equipable item, to be worn on the wrist.

All three cards were related to the troll. The first was the transparent nictitating membrane of the Croco-hide Fat Troll, a special material.

Its use was still unknown, but being able to see the colors of magic should be somewhat useful.

The second card increased the Strength attribute. It would have been great if it were Intelligence or Spirit, but considering trolls have little intelligence or spirit to speak of, getting a Strength card was already good.

The third was an equipable item. It was a brown leather cord, about the thickness of a pinky finger, beautifully braided and antique-looking.

Wait, what kind of hide was this woven from?!

Alright, some things are better left unexamined; ignorance is bliss.

Night was deep; no time to waste.

Ted first used [Strength Card (Blue)] to gain + 1 Strength, then put on the [Troll Strength Wristband (Blue)] on his wrist, bringing his Strength attribute directly to 6 points.

At 12 years old and 1.5 meters tall, he was stronger than an average adult!

Besides these, there was the card draw from the [Dungeon Crawl (Blue)] quest:

The first card depicted a person in strange clothing, holding a staff, releasing a purple orb of light to attack an enemy.

[Gravity Orb (Blue)]

Spell Card

Release a gravity orb that causes field damage upon hitting the target and can briefly alter the target’s gravitational direction.

Note: Consumes a significant amount of magic.

The second card showed a person in a green vest spewing a massive fireball.

[Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu (Blue)]

Spell Card

Spew a massive, explosive fireball with considerable force from the mouth.

Note: It is said that this ninjutsu has a kill count of zero, earning it the nickname “Merciful Fireball Jutsu” in the underworld.

The third card depicted an undead sorcerer in simple robes, carrying a staff with a crescent moon design at its tip.

[Crescent Staff (Blue)]

Item Card

+ 1lv Spell

+ 2 Intelligence

+ 2 Spirit

Note: Staff length is 2.1 meters! Small people, beware~

They all seemed good, how to choose?

Great Fireball Jutsu was immediately ruled out. What kind of business was spitting fire from the mouth?

In the movie, when Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic and fought Dumbledore, he did use a mouth-spitting Fiendfyre, and the scene was quite explosive!

This was clearly a villain’s style!

Besides, killing didn’t require such a flashy spell; it wasn’t like going to a battlefield for fire suppression.

A “Sectumsempra” or “Diffindo” would be enough for killing.

As for the Crescent Staff~

Its attributes were truly excellent! Better than his own cedar wood phoenix feather wand.

But this thing was too long, too conspicuous!

He was 1.56 meters tall, and the staff was 2.1 meters long. It would be inconvenient to carry and wouldn’t fit the wizarding world’s trend!

Moreover, he still needed his wand to cast many spells.

So, no, it’s you, [Gravity Orb (Blue)]!

This item seemed to be from “Elden Ring,” but unfortunately, he was just a casual player and didn’t know much about it.

However, the value of the spell itself was one thing; looking at its name, it seemed to involve gravity, which might give him some other inspirations.

In addition, there were cards dropped by Professor Quirrell.

Our respectable professor ultimately taught Ted and Neville a lesson with his life—don’t believe Voldemort’s nonsense~

He even didn’t forget to leave his beloved students his last cards; others got one, but he gave two directly! How touching~

Quirrell: Ted, these are my last cards~

Two blue-bordered cards. The first card depicted many glass jars of various sizes containing different creatures, with a figure resembling Professor Quirrell’s back at a laboratory table, seemingly tinkering with something…

[Professor Quirrell’s Magical Bloodline Transformation Research (Blue)]

Spell Card

Gain Professor Quirrell’s twenty-plus years of knowledge and research experience on magical creature bloodlines after use.

+lv 2 Study of Ancient Runes

+lv 2 Bloodline Transformation

Uses: 1/1.

Note: Cannot exceed Study of Ancient Runes, Bloodline Transformation lv 5.

Note: Due to some content being overly dark and bloody, it is not recommended for young people whose values are not yet mature.

Look, Professor Quirrell generously contributed his most cutting-edge research!

Although it seemed pretty useless…
