At the beginning of a new week, Joel and the three were busy making outlines for the History of Magic, while Ellen and Marietta got very close.
On the afternoon when Joel and Sergey went to Knockturn Alley to sell books, Ellen and Marietta didn't know what they talked about next to the Black Lake.
But now the two of them often get together during class and dinner, which surprises the other three in the dormitory.
Although they were very displeased with Marietta's character of hating the poor and loving the rich, making friends was Allen's own business, and the three of them would not interfere.
Just when they were busy in the dormitory, Joel suddenly received a system prompt.
"Please host to complete the mandatory task as soon as possible, otherwise the system will impose penalties based on task failure."
He only recalled that mission because he had "taken advantage of" Haylis' good luck and the system had imposed punishment on him.
Removing the door handle of Professor McGonagall's office without being discovered...isn't it a scam?
Joel wanted to flip the table after reading this task. It was clear that the system was deliberately trying to trick him.
But it was impossible not to complete this task. The system punished him by making any food taste like canned herring within seven days, which he couldn't stand.
There are still 7 days left before the mission deadline, and there is not much time left for myself.
He held the quill in his right hand and tapped it on the table. Sergey and Eddie were still writing furiously on the parchment. The tip of the quill made a rustling sound when the tip of the quill made contact with the parchment. Joel made up his mind and planned to take advantage of the opportunity.
The moon is dark and the wind is blowing. Let's go to the spot first tonight.
The waiting time is always long and torturous. Joel has been thinking about tonight's step-by-step operation all day long, and he was a little absent-minded when writing the outline of the History of Magic.
This led to Sergey discovering many errors when he was proofreading Joel's copy at night, and it took Joel a long time to correct them.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, just as the students returned to the common room after evening classes, Joel walked out of the dormitory, walked all the way out of the tower, entered the auditorium, climbed up the stairs, and circled around the second floor, finally at one place.
Professor McGonagall's office was found in the corridor.
The door to the office was small, and Joel's eyes were fixed on the brass door handle on the small wooden door.
Is this your mission goal?
He looked around and saw no one was around, then reached out and touched the doorknob.
Yes, it's ice cold and feels great in the hand. As soon as you put it on, you can tell it's not made of ordinary brass.
There was no one around. Although Professor McGonagall's office and library were both on the second floor of the castle, the library was at the end of another wide corridor, hundreds of meters away from the office.
Most of the students who came out of the library returned to the college common room. Slytherin and Hufflepuff lived underground, while Ravenclaw and Gryffindor rested on the tower.
At eight o'clock in the evening, no one would take a leisurely walk around the corridor on the second floor.
The problem now is how he can remove the door handle without letting Professor McGonagall discover the perpetrator.
He has no way to cast the spell now. After the curfew, it is impossible for him to avoid Filch and the professor who are patrolling the night. The flow of people in this corridor will only decrease after the library closes at 8pm, so Joel only has time to do it.
Between 8 o'clock and 9:30 curfew.
And Professor McGonagall cannot be allowed to stay in the office when the crime is committed, otherwise she will definitely find out.
Joel once heard Caitlin say that although Professor McGonagall also owns a house in Hogsmeade, she will always live in the office after the start of the school year.
He smoothed over the clues, and now there are several conditions needed to remove the door handle of Professor McGonagall's office: between 8 o'clock and 9:30 in the evening, lead Professor McGonagall out of the office without attracting the attention of others.
Remove the door handle below.
The most critical point of this plan was how to lead Professor McGonagall out of the office... His eyes wandered on the door handle, and he discovered an extremely important point that he had ignored before.
Tools for removing door handles.
From the outside, the brass door handle and the wooden door are tightly connected together, and there are no screws used in the Muggle world. It is estimated that some magical method is used to bond the two to each other.
Tools, what tools can be used to remove the door handle from the door? Joel kept thinking about this problem on the way back to Ravenclaw Tower.
This mandatory task does not have any strict requirements on the door handle removal method...
In other words, it can be removed with brute force.
Joel paused while climbing the stairs, quickly called out the system panel, rummaged around in the mall, and found a gleaming golden sledgehammer in a corner. It looked amazing.
He quickly investigated the specific situation of Sledgehammer.
Indestructible Sledgehammer: This object is said to be indestructible, but there seems to be no room for it to develop.
Price: 30 gold coins. This item requires no magic power and can be used by Muggles.
System prompt: Be careful to hit your fingers when using!
30 galleons? Joel felt happy and quickened his pace. He came to the eagle-shaped door knocker, answered the question, opened the door and ran back to the dormitory.
Alan and Sergey were playing wizard chess with their legs crossed on the bed, Eddie was giving directions, and a stack of parchment was put aside by them.
"Are you back?" Eddie greeted.
"We have finished the progress today," Sergey said proactively. "We are bored, so we just played two games of wizard chess to stretch our brains."
Joel came over and watched the chess game for a while and then gave up. He couldn't understand it.
He simply went to take a shower. He was still looking forward to redeeming the sledgehammer.
In the bathroom, with the sound of rushing water, Joel read out "Pippi Shrimp Krypton Gold System is the most useful and invincible system in the universe" and recharged 30 Galleons into the system.
He speeded up the bathing process, rinsed his body in a hurry, climbed onto the bed wrapped in pajamas, wrapped himself in the quilt, and curled up into a caterpillar shape.
"Here comes the hammer, hammer..." Joel rubbed his fingers happily and exchanged the indestructible hammer for it.
His hand suddenly sank, and a cold metal object pressed against his waist.
Joel poked his head into the quilt and saw that he was holding a hammer about twenty centimeters long in his hand. It looked plain and simple, without the dazzling golden light in the system mall.
What a profiteer...
Joel muttered, but the system never admitted that the actual object matched the photo, not to mention that even if it didn't match, he wouldn't complain.
No matter what, at least it is a tool for breaking the handle.
Joel pulled the quilt over his head and began to think about how to lure out Professor McGonagall.
The night was getting darker, and Joel didn't think of any good ideas, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep with the soft whispers of his three roommates.
