379 Chapter 376. Shut Your Mouth

Lynn's thoughts were crystal clear now.

After he returned to the castle, the first thing he did was to draw the patron saint he summoned today on a piece of paper.

He remembered that tree very clearly. The leaves were wedge-shaped or oval-shaped, the branches and leaves were dense, and the trunk was thick. According to the species, it looked like a normal ash tree.

But the ash tree will not grow so big, let alone make people fall asleep.

Moreover, Lynn's Patronus Charm was used for a very short time. The tree existed for no more than 3 seconds from its formation to its disappearance.

Lin En held the quill pen and looked at the lush ash tree drawn on the parchment, and began to rummage through the historical materials in the library.

He first had to figure out whether it was normal to have a plant patron saint.

In this way, Lynn searched through the materials in the library for an entire afternoon without going anywhere. After looking up almost all the recorded patron saints of wizards, he came to a conclusion.

The patron saint of plants has been unique since ancient times, and he is the only one.

Such a result is enough to make Lynn think, why is his patron saint special?

There is no way to explore this answer, because even he himself does not know the answer, so no one can tell him.

However, although there was no answer to the question of the Patronus Charm, Lynn discovered an interesting thing when he checked his system.

This morning, when the dementors invaded Hogwarts, Snape's well-received mission was finally completed.

He has a little more talent in potions.

So far, after four years at Hogwarts, the bonus tasks that the system gave him in his first year were finally completed.

It's a pity that Lin En is in a state of wanting nothing, and there is no turmoil in his heart about this matter, and he is even a little hungry.

He was definitely hungry. He didn't eat a single meal for breakfast and lunch today. It was already evening now. The stronger his physical fitness, the more he needed a lot of food to replenish his energy.

It was just time for supper when he walked out from the library.

Many students in the corridor were walking towards the auditorium. On the way, Lynn also met Xiao Bu who was sneaking around with a big paper bag.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Bu was startled by Lynn's voice from behind.

She turned around hastily and hid the paper bag behind her back.

"No, it's nothing, I was planning to go to the auditorium for dinner, what a coincidence brother, haha, what a coincidence"

"Next time if you have a guilty conscience, remember not to call me brother. Normally, you call me by my name directly." Lin En looked at her flatly, and then stretched out his hand to her.

Xiao Bu was crying, but in the end he didn't dare to resist, and obediently handed the paper bag in Lynn's hand.

A whole pack of paper bags is full of all kinds of candies. Judging from the packaging, I bought it from Honeydukes Candy Store.

"Where did it come from?"

Xiao Bu grabs the hem of his clothes and looks away.

"I asked sister Hermione to buy it for me when I was away last Hogsmeade week."

"Whose money was used?"

Lynn's voice was still so flat, without blame or any hint of anger, which made Xiao Bu even more frightened. She had never seen Lynn like this before.

"It's my own pocket money! I swear! Sister Hermione bought me something to eat, but that was all paid for my work for her. I definitely didn't eat and drink other people's things for free!"

Xiao Bu didn't lie, but the job she talked about was not a serious job, it was all paid for selling Lynn's private life with girls.

She looked anxious, but Lynn remained calm.

"I just asked casually, why are you so nervous."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Bu let out a long sigh of relief this time, and watched Lin En put his hand into her candy paper bag and squeezed out a piece of butterscotch.

He peeled off the icing on the candy, and stuffed it into his mouth. A cloying milky aroma exploded in his mouth, followed by a sweet smell that should have made him feel happy.

But the sugar is still the same sugar, the sweetness is still the same sweetness, but Lin En can't feel the slightest pleasure.

In other words, eating candy now, there is no way to bring him a little bit of enjoyment.

But when Lynn had sugar in his mouth, he could clearly see that the emotional separation percentage on the system panel dropped by 1 in an instant, and changed to 88.6%.

Lynn hasn't changed emotionally, but this has proved that if something stimulates his emotions, the degree of emotional detachment will accelerate the rate of decline.

After confirming this, without hesitation, he took out another box of multi-flavored beans from the bag, and poured half a box into his mouth straight away.

Xiao Bu's face turned bitter-melon-colored, she had a pitiful expression of wanting to take back her candy from Lin En's hand but didn't dare, she looked aggrieved.

However, after Lin En ate a lot of sugar in his mouth this time, the peeling value did not change significantly like before, and it can even be said that it did not change at all.

This shows that each stimulus can only have an effect once, and any more repetitions will be useless.

Lynn put the sugar bag back in Xiao Bu's bad box.

"I'll buy you another bag of Honeydukes new butterscotch this weekend, don't forget to go to my office to get it yourself."

Xiao Bu immediately turned sad and happy, grinning almost to the ears, and said a few good things about Lynn with a smile, and then happily went to find Tom.

After separating from Xiao Bu, Lynn went straight to the auditorium and sat between Ian and Cedric.

"Where have you been all this afternoon? I went to the chairman's office to find you, but I couldn't find you."

"I didn't go anywhere, I read books in the library all afternoon."

Lynn just said a word, and Ian and Cedric realized that he was a little weird now.

They looked Lynn up and down for a long time and finally found out what was wrong with him.

"Are you as paralyzed as Ian?"

Cedric is usually an honest person, but what he said today was not very honest, and he offended Lynn and Ian immediately.

"This chicken leg is very good, I suggest you try it."

"Ah, thank you, I'm full."

"Then take a chicken leg and plug your mouth."

Lynn ignored the interaction between Ian and Cedric, and he was thinking about any other ways to stimulate his emotions.

Looking at the people coming and going around, just when he had no idea, he suddenly saw Hermione walking into the auditorium.

Lynn paused slightly, he thought of a possible method, so he beckoned Hermione over.

"Why are you calling me?" Seeing Lynn calling herself, Hermione walked over with a book in her arms and a smile on her face.

Lynn is still expressionless, or he only has this expression now.

"Kiss me."
