After his meeting with Andre, Anduin stayed in Germany to continue his career as a profiteer.
In the next two days, he met with a large number of local businesses, media personnel and wizard celebrities at the German Ministry of Magic to promote and publicize his magical communication system, and at the same time, he had to dispel the concerns of some conservative wizards.
In fact, the debugging of the magic communication base station in Germany was completed slightly later than that in the UK, but the German wizarding community, as the Silver Flash Trading Company, promoted this magic communication system to the bridgehead of European countries, so Anduin gave priority to taking care of the business here.
The magical communication network that is about to be released is also named [Magic Network] by Anduin. The next series of communication, media, entertainment, and shopping content will be built on this platform. It is no wonder that he attaches so much importance to it.
At the same time, on the other side of Hogwarts, the Harry quartet launched a surveillance activity against Snape.
During two days of continuous surveillance, Harry and others discovered that Snape had indeed become somewhat sneaky recently, as if Snape was also following someone.
The other party's strangeness made them more certain that Snape was brewing some conspiracy. During this period, several people also tried to report Snape to Professor McGonagall.
But Professor McGonagall's attitude was similar to Hagrid's. She didn't think that Snape, as a professor, had any evil intentions, and even warned the foursome in return.
After understanding the situation at hand, Harry and others resolutely decided to use their own strength to defend Anduin and Dumbledore's property.
On the day Dumbledore left Hogwarts, Harry and others discovered Snape wandering around in the corridor of the main tower thiefly, as if he was exploring something.
When everyone saw this, they naturally followed him quickly, but they also knew that Snape was very alert, so they didn't follow him too closely.
But as Snape's movement route gradually became clearer, several people quickly guessed the other party's destination, which was the forbidden room at the end of the fourth floor!
"Snape seems to have gone straight to that room. Should we go back and call for backup? Or send a warning signal?" Ron suggested nervously, looking at Snape's back vaguely in the distance.
"We can't do that now. Before we capture that guy's stolen goods, recruiting him won't help at all. It will also reveal that we are following him!" Harry stared forward and said firmly.
"Then are we going to follow him?" Neville whispered, "If we are caught by surprise, we have a chance to subdue Snape."
"I think you can try it!" Hermione couldn't help but excite at this time.
I don’t know if it’s because of the expansion, but after several months of hard training and experience in the ruins dungeon, they all have inexplicable confidence in their own strength.
At this time, several people even thought that as long as the four of them worked together, it might not be a problem to take down even Snape.
"Walk!"
Harry no longer hesitated and immediately led a few people towards the room at the end.
To be honest, several of them had a lot of psychological shadow over this weird room, but now they could only bite the bullet and rush in.
"boom!"
After Ron unlocked the door with the unlocking spell, he kicked the door open fiercely. Then Harry, Neville and Hermione relied on the door frame to point their wands inwards. As soon as they found Snape's figure,
They will open fire without hesitation.
But the situation inside the room was beyond everyone's expectations. The statue of the knight they had seen last time had been beaten to pieces.
Lu Wei was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly. Next to it was a self-playing harp, and the trap door on the floor in the center of the room had been opened.
As for Snape, he still disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, he's already in!" Hermione rushed in after seeing the scene in front of her, "We have to follow him quickly and we can't let him get the Sorcerer's Stone!"
"You dare to destroy the warning statue? Snape is really crazy!" Harry looked at the messy room and clenched his fists angrily.
Then the four of them jumped into the hole under the trap door with little hesitation. They had to teach Snape a lesson with practical actions.
The four people felt something was wrong after jumping into the cave entrance, because they could not see a trace of light in front of their eyes during the fall, as if they had entered a bottomless abyss.
At the same time, Hermione, who had a keen sense after all, noticed something strange around her. The time it took for them to fall was really too long. Even if there were hundreds of people deep into the deep pit in front of them, it wouldn't have taken so long.
And Hermione even vaguely felt that the surrounding space seemed to have changed as they fell downwards. They might not even be in Hogwarts anymore!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Harry and the four of them fell in the air for nearly a minute before their eyes suddenly lit up and they crashed onto the wooden floor.
However, what surprised a few people was that after they had fallen for so long, their bodies did not feel much pain when they fell. The feeling was similar to falling from a height of more than one meter.
"What...where is this?" Ron rubbed his head. The cold wind blew for more than a minute when he fell, making his whole face stiff.
And when they all stood up from the ground, they found themselves in a dimly lit wooden house.
All the surrounding furnishings looked dilapidated and dilapidated, and looking out through the window at the edge of the room was a gloomy wilderness.
Through a faint ray of moonlight, you can see the trees like claws swaying in the wind outside, giving the overall atmosphere a ghostly atmosphere.
On a dining table not far away from the room, several props were neatly placed, and what seemed to be several sets of vests could be faintly seen.
"It's over! It seems we are no longer in Hogwarts!" Ron looked at the strange and dark environment outside, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.
"There's something wrong with the passage we fell down from!" Hermione took out her wand and warned carefully, "That hole may be a space passage, and depending on the time of the fall, we may have been teleported to a place far away from the school!"
"What? Can we still go back? I suddenly felt that jumping down rashly was not a good idea." After Neville saw Hermione's actions, he also drew out his wand, but he was still stiff because of nervousness.
"And there is no sign of Snape at all, and the surrounding scene doesn't look like someone has been here. He should have been teleported here too!" Harry also frowned in confusion.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. Don't forget, this is the dungeon space created by Professor Wilson. There must be a way to return. We must first figure out the situation." Although Hermione was a little panicked, she still forced herself to calmly tell everyone. Encourage.
"Well, let's take a look at the things on the table first. I think I saw a transmission vest!" Harry pointed to the dining table where the equipment was placed.
Then several people moved to the table, and then they saw four sets of uniform equipment, namely a vest, a pair of goggles, and a pair of wristbands inlaid with several gems. At the same time, there was also a set of equipment in the center of the table.
A map made of sheepskin was placed.
"We are indeed in the dungeon!" After seeing these familiar equipment, Harry's heart finally relaxed.
"By the way, are we wearing the [Transmission Vest] so that we can be teleported back to Hogwarts after being knocked down?" Ron picked up a set of vests and quickly put them on.
"Not necessarily, have you forgotten? The teleportation distance of this transmission vest is actually not very far. Maybe after being knocked down, you will be teleported to a place similar to the ruins dungeon headquarters, which may be right here!" Hermione said equally skillfully.
He put on his equipment and then spoke more rationally.
"In other words, if you want to leave this dungeon, you have to find another way, but the most important thing for us now is to stop Snape." Harry has not forgotten the purpose of their coming here.
"Well, let's put on the equipment first, and then explore the reality of this dungeon. Even Snape can't find the place where the Magic Stone is hidden so quickly."
After saying this, Neville put on his goggles and then focused his attention on the pair of wristbands. This was the first time he had seen this prop.
【Power Armband】
Quality: Purple (Legendary Item)
Mission prop: An armband containing a mysterious ability, which can enhance the wearer's ability after triggering certain conditions, or enable the wearer to gain certain abilities.
A very brief explanation, but the content described above made everyone's eyes brighten.
"Good guy, I will give you a piece of purple equipment when I come up. This new copy is really interesting!"
Although Ron is no longer as obsessed with legendary props as he was before he entered school, he still couldn't put it down and put it on his left hand. Later, he discovered that this prop could automatically fit him after wearing it, which made him happy.
Even more joyful.
"Hey... you idiot." Hermione held her forehead speechlessly, "I was given such a good prop as soon as I entered the dungeon, and the change of direction also shows the difficulty of this dungeon. Do you think it is the same as the ruins dungeon?"
"Then what do you want me to do? Are you crying after seeing such good equipment?" Ron rolled his eyes in displeasure.
Harry on the other side saw that both of them were still in the mood to quarrel at this time. He couldn't help but shook his head, and then reached out to pick up the map in the middle of the table, ready to study it.
Unexpectedly, just after he picked up the map, a cold mechanical sound suddenly came from the ears of several people.
【Welcome to Despair Town!】
[Despair Town, formerly known as Hope Town, once had thousands of residents on this land, and they originally lived peacefully here.]
[Until one day, a certain resident, driven by curiosity, opened a long-standing seal! 】
[Subsequently, terror came, the demon that had been dusted for thousands of years was awakened, and the abyss gradually enveloped the entire town. 】
[Here, everything is saturated with the breath of the abyss. Food, water, land, and even the air contain terror! 】
[The survivors who accidentally enter this place can only be freed by completely sealing the demon, otherwise they will be trapped here forever and gradually be submerged in the abyss!]
【Task】
The first stage: According to the guidelines on the map, collect three [Revelation Documents].
The second stage: Stronghold defense will be displayed on the map after collecting the [Revelatory Documents]. After the defense is successful, the three documents can be synthesized into the [Exorcism Book], which is an important item for sealing the devil.
The third stage: Kill the demonic entity. After synthesizing the [Exorcist Book], the demon will manifest itself and its location will be displayed on the map.
The fourth stage: Guard the [Exorcist Book] and survive. After killing the demonic entity, the [Exorcist Book] will enter the spiritual purification state. At that time, it will not be able to move, so you need to protect the [Exorcist Book] from being
Destroy it. If the [Exorcism Book] has not been destroyed after three minutes and at least one member survives, you can successfully purify Despair Town and open the return channel.
[Note: In Despair Town, survivors will be affected by the aura of the abyss at all times, and this effect will be displayed by the fear value. 】
[The initial fear value of all survivors is zero, and the fear value will automatically increase by 1% every 5 minutes in Despair Town. After being frightened and using contaminated items, the fear value will increase significantly. After staying in Despair Town for more than 3 days,
The fear value will be increased by 10 times.】
[When the fear value exceeds 70%, it will attract the attention of the demons in Despair Town. When the fear spell reaches 100%, the member will greatly attract the hatred of the enemy and may be possessed by the demon! 】
[Devil Possession: Everything in Despair Town has the possibility of being possessed by demons. If a survivor is possessed by a demon, he will lose control of his body. The possessed survivor can regain his sanity under the attack of his teammates. 】
[The member’s fear curse will be cleared after the possession is released.]
[Methods to reduce fear value]
1. The fear value can be slowly reduced at the fire source. At the same time, in [Despair Town], fire sources such as bonfires and oil lamps can only be ignited by locally produced fire starters. Magic spells such as 'Ignition Curse' will
Doesn't work.
2. When you are indoors, the speed of increasing the fear value will be reduced. If there is a light source indoors, the fear value will be slowly reduced.
[Survivors can be resurrected after death]
Resurrection method: After a survivor dies, the [Power Armband] will be dropped at the place of death. The remaining survivors can pick up the armband and resurrect the member at the altar.
The location of the altar will be shown on the map.
[Currently, the [Well of Abyss] copy is still in the testing phase. The return passage is connected to the secret storage room, which contains any door that can return to Hogwarts. Attention! Except for the return to any door, please do not leave any other items in the secret storage room.
Feel free to contact at your own risk!】
"hiss!"
After listening to the introduction to the dungeon, the four of them couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Good guy, this [Despair Town] is simply a hell on earth. Standing there and doing nothing, just breathing is dangerous!
And the tasks in this dungeon are a bit too difficult. There are actually four stages. Compared to the mission of rescuing hostages in the ruins dungeon here, it’s just like playing house.
