Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Mike actually knew about Willy's background.

Willy's full name is Willy Doug Hunter, and he is the heir of this generation of the Hunter family.

Regarding the history and tradition of the Hunter family, you can actually tell it from their family name.

For a long time in history, British people only had first names, not surnames. It was not until the 11th century that some nobles began to use fiefdom names to honor their patriarchs. Later, they were inherited from generation to generation and evolved into surnames.

When common people saw that noble men had surnames, they began to give themselves surnames. However, most of them were uneducated, so they could only use their profession or some things they came into contact with in daily life as their surnames. This is very similar to the Footpot Man.

The most obvious examples are Baker (baker), Carter (carter) and so on.

The Hunter of the Hunter family has the same sound as hunter, which means hunter. In other words, Willy's ancestors were born as hunters.

After becoming a wizard by chance, this ancestor did not forget his traditional skills. Instead, he applied magic to hunting and taming animals. Later, after several generations of research and improvement, the Hunter family's hunting and Their beast-taming skills are becoming more and more perfect, which has made them a well-known beast-taming family in the wizarding world. Almost all industries related to the breeding of magical animals on the market are related to them.

These include the source of materials for the core of the wand, or the raw materials for the ice cream that Mike had in first grade, all of which have the shadow of the Hunter family.

Of course, none of this had much to do with Mike. After he struggled for a while about Willy's purpose, he was quickly relieved.

Regardless of whether he is a fool and has too much money, or he is taking a long-term approach to catch the big fish, now that the money is in his hands, the matter is over. If Willy thought he could ask for anything with the favor of ten thousand galleons, he would have thought wrong. You must know that this is a 'blocking', and Mike doesn't owe him any favors.

"Papi."

Taking the Greed Pendant off his neck, the pendant quickly deformed in Mike's hands and transformed into Papi the Raven again.

'Eh! ’

Looking at Papi the raven with two small eyes in front of him, Mike finally asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time.

"Papi, tell me what abilities you have."

'Listen up, stupid human! My power is so great. If I hadn't been dormant for too long, I could kill a little wizard like you with just one feather! ’

"Tell me the important point!" Mike smiled, but there were faint veins popping out on his head.

'okay! My abilities include dream control, virtual body, illusion control and soul damage! Dream control, as the name suggests, means that I can control other people's dreams and let them have nightmares or good dreams according to my will.

The incorporeal body allows me to enter the fogcrow state. In this state, I am immune to physical damage and a few spells such as the Fire Curse, but spells such as the Disarming Curse can still cause harm to me. .

Illusion control means that I can cause others to have severe hallucinations and lose themselves.

The last thing is soul damage. I can directly cause damage to the soul body, but this ability will not do much harm to creatures whose souls are still in the body. The most important thing is to kill those ghost creatures.

But because I have been dormant for too long, my strength has weakened a lot, and I can only barely release most of the above abilities. ’

After listening to Raven Papi's self-narration, Mike's heart felt hot.

Raven Papi is far more powerful than Mike expected. If he has Raven Papi's help in the next match with Cedric, he will be almost invincible.

And Raven Papi has many small abilities that have not yet been revealed, such as the telepathy ability used to communicate with himself, or the effect that can slightly increase the wizard's meditation effect and mental power, etc.

Suppressing his inner joy, Mike began to experiment on the abilities of Papi the Raven.

The first is the dream control experiment. When Mike lay in bed and fell asleep, a dream that had not appeared for a long time unexpectedly appeared again, and it was the game Mike had experienced today with Willy. Before Mike could react, the picture in front of him changed rapidly. , it turned into a beautiful scenery in an instant.

Different from ordinary dreams, Mike only felt that his consciousness was very clear. Everything in front of him was very real. When he put his hand into the crystal clear stream, Mike could even feel the water flowing gently through his fingertips. Feel the coolness of the stream.

I don’t know how long it took, but Mike opened his eyes and woke up.

He raised his head and glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed, only to see that only twenty minutes had passed since he fell asleep.

Mike immediately felt a little surprised. Although he had no specific feeling of time passing in the dream just now, according to his subjective feelings, he should have spent at least two hours in the dream, but now... …

"Can you still control the flow of time in dreams?"

‘Of course I can, I can not only slow down other people’s sense of time in dreams, but also speed it up, thus causing the effect of a dream! ’

"What is Nankeyimeng? Can you speak English?"

…

Let's not talk about how Papi made Mike understand the Chinese idiom "Nan Ke Yimeng". In the next few days, Mike also did a lot of experiments on the other abilities of Raven Papi.

Take the illusion experiment as an example. After Mike experienced it personally, he was shocked because it was so realistic.

Of course, with Raven Papi's current strength, it still cannot create such a large-scale illusion, and even a small illusion cannot last for long, but Mike can still see the power of this ability. Here, it is simply the perfect assassination ability for Yin people.

Apart from anything else, Papi now has no problem creating some mild hallucinations.

So if it uses its ability on a driver who is driving, and suddenly creates an evil monster hallucination in front of his car while he is driving at high speed, hey, I think the consequences of this need not be said much, right?

The virtualization ability or fog crow form is also very powerful after testing. After turning on this ability, Papi will directly turn into a very light mist, which is almost invisible in a dark environment.

And the ability to be immune to physical attacks is also very powerful. The only regret is that after entering this state, Papi's resistance to damaging spells such as disarming spells will become extremely low. Any little wizard can give it a shot. It can cause it to be seriously injured.

As for the soul-killing ability, it was not easy to experiment with. In the end, Mike had to find some mice that had not been used up last time to experiment on it.

Needless to say, Papi the Raven's ability to kill ghosts, even the cloned soul of Lady Ravenclaw was killed by it in one blow. However, the experiments on living animals were very unsatisfactory. Even though Papi the Raven tried his best, he could barely kill a white mouse, which made Mike a little disappointed.

But he soon adjusted his mentality. That's how people are. They want it very much when they don't have it, but after they actually have it, they want more. Finally, if you really can't get it, you will use Ah Q's spirit to comfort yourself.

Anyway, with Raven Papi's current strength, it is almost certain that he will win the duel competition.

This is how Mike comforted himself, and after some self-comfort, Mike felt much better.

However, it turns out that this way of self-comfort is useless, because reality often slaps you hard at this time.

…

"What! You said that all props, potions and familiars other than wands cannot be used in this game?"

In the player lounge below the amphitheater, Mike was yelling at a male staff member.

Facing Mike's roar, the staff member looked innocent.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Townley. This is an order personally issued by Mr. Lockhart. Both players in this competition need to undergo body searches and physical examinations before the competition to ensure the absolute fairness of the competition!"

"I'm not convinced. Call Lockhart over here! I want to argue with him in person!"

The staff member really couldn't resist Mike, so he ran out of the lounge in dejection, and came back with Lockhart a moment later.

After inviting everyone else in the lounge out, Lockhart said slowly: "Mike, what's wrong? Why don't you let them search you?"

"Mr. Lockhart! I'm curious about how your brain works and why you suddenly changed the rules!" Mike said word by word.

"Mike, listen to me, am I not doing this for you?" Lockhart said earnestly, "Look at your last match with Willy, he used so many props at once, although you still won in the end. But haven’t his magic potions and magic pets caused you a lot of trouble?

And this time your opponent Cedric is not a little bit stronger than Willy, and he is also from a wealthy pure-blood family. Maybe after being inspired by Willy, he will also choose to spend money on you?

You are different from them. You are a Muggle, so you will definitely not be able to get such things as elixirs and familiars... "

Before Lockhart could finish speaking, he saw that Mike had taken out a drop-shaped glass container from the bag of the Traceless Stretching Spell, which contained the elixir of happiness that shone with a faint golden light.

Immediately, the expression on Lockhart's face became very wonderful, and his mouth opened wide, unable to speak.

"Hug... I'm sorry, Mike, I really didn't expect you to be a hidden rich man." Lockhart took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat that was constantly flowing down his face, and stammered, "But now the rules have changed. It has been announced, so, can you please give me some face...

You must know that in this final, I also invited Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, to come and explain the game with me. If you do this today, I will not just be embarrassed, What would Mr. Bagman think of me? God, he's going to think I'm a useless piece of shit! My career would be completely ruined.

Anyway, you are so strong, it doesn’t matter whether you use these props or not, so... please! "

By the end of the sentence, Lockhart was in tears and hugged Mike's waist, as if he wouldn't let go unless Mike agreed.

Mike tried several times but failed to pull him away, and finally had no choice but to agree to his request.

"Okay, I'll give you a favor this time." Mike said, "But you have to remember that you owe me a favor!"

"No problem! No problem!"

Upon hearing this, Lockhart got up from the ground in an instant. He wiped his cheek with a handkerchief and returned to his previous energetic look. There was no trace of holding Mike and crying just now.

Facing Lockhart's completely nonchalant look, Mike raised the corners of his mouth slightly and thought to himself: 'Wait a minute, my favor is not so easy to repay. Sooner or later you will cry. ’

Lockhart adjusted his dress until he couldn't see any difference from when he came in. Then he walked out of Mike's player lounge with his head held high. After a while, several male staff members came to Mike again and began to examine Mike.

He didn't know why Lockhart suddenly became so strict. Mike just felt that the staff who conducted these inspections were a little too serious. They checked his whole body three times in a row without giving up, and planned to do it a fourth time.

Although he was still a little unhappy, since Lockhart had agreed, Mike had no choice but to cooperate with the staff and continue the inspection.

Of course, their inspection method is not a traditional hand search. As wizards, they have a better way, which is to detect spells.

After being swept by the detection spell for the fourth time, Mike's inspection was finally completed.

At this moment, there was nothing else on Mike except his wand and clothes. Not only the bag of traceless stretching spells, but also the Greed Pendant hanging around Mike's neck and the Combat Magic Sheath on his arm were all put away.

Fortunately, the staff didn't pay much attention to the "combat uniform" that Mike was wearing that had no magic fluctuations. Perhaps it was because they simply regarded it as a strange Muggle costume.

In fact, this 'combat uniform' is an important piece of equipment carefully prepared by Mike. The prototype of this combat uniform is actually the U.S. Army combat uniform in Mike's memory. The top and trousers are composed of light yellow desert camouflage, and the shoes are optional. Regular Army combat boots.

This outfit took Mike a lot of thought. He originally planned to buy a set to wear directly, but what he didn't expect was that the current ACU combat uniforms of the American army have not yet become popular, and ordinary people cannot get them at all. . Moreover, even if Mike could get it, there would be no size suitable for Mike. After all, it is specially prepared for adults.

Mrs. Malkin, who specializes in selling robes in Diagon Alley, is very skilled in craftsmanship. Based on the rough design drawn by Mike, it only took half a day to make the combat uniform Mike needed. And although no special fabrics were used, Under the spell of Madam Malkin, the defensive capabilities of this combat uniform are no worse than the original!

When he got the combat uniform, Mike had to sigh, there is a lot to do in magic farming!
