Chapter 84: Qi Luo... Have You Always Been so Brave?
After making a plan and realizing that there were not many loopholes, Rolf stopped thinking about Voldemort and the basilisk and started checking the rewards of the system.
He had successfully "obtained" the original scarf of the Dark Lord.
The process of obtaining it was also very simple. Quirrell untied the scarf and placed it on the podium, and then the students threw it into the trash can like garbage.
Rolf went to the trash can and took a quick look. The scarf had been severely damaged under the constant attacks of the students and Peeves, and it could not be used at all.
He had no intention of picking up trash, even if it was an "original scarf".
Fortunately, the system still had a conscience and gave the magic used by the Dark Lord to make scarves. Rolf could make "the same scarf" himself in the future.
In comparison, he was now more eager to try the magic of "skinchanger".
The effect of skinchanger is to invade the consciousness of animals and control their behavior. The primary difficulty of this magic is of course "invasion".
If there is an emotional bond between the skinchanger and the animal, it is easier to "invade".
But if there is no emotional foundation, it is completely unfamiliar, or even hostile, then there will be strong resistance from the animal spirit.
If the spiritual power of the invaded magical creature is strong enough, this resistance may even damage the soul of the shapeshifter.
Of course, if the shapeshifter is strong enough, he can enter by using violence, and it doesn't matter if there is no emotional foundation, but it is not as easy as having emotions... and it can unlock more postures.
Rove has no concerns in this regard, because he has completely tamed a tree guarding gull, a hornet, a salamander and an invisible beast, and these animals are very compatible with him.
Rove is ready to give it a try.
The boy whistled, and a tree guarding gull came out of the dense woods. It hooked a branch and drew a huge arc in the air, like a monkey, and quickly swung to Rove's hand.
Rolf held up the Bowtruckle, looked at it gently, and said softly:
"Groot, my consciousness will enter your body, don't resist... Relax, just like usual, it won't hurt, okay?"
The simple Groot didn't quite understand what the boy meant, but since it was Rolf's request, it turned its head and nodded shyly.
Rolf took out a knife and pierced his finger, blood beads rolled down, and the Bowtruckle held the boy's finger and blew hard, seeming to be very distressed.
The first time must bleed, but it is Rolf's blood.
He chanted magic, soaked the dripping blood beads on the Bowtruckle's head, and let it lick the warm blood beads.
Rolf dripped three drops before looking at the Bowtruckle. He could feel a little struggle, but after all, he had tamed the Bowtruckle 100%, and the barrier like a diaphragm was pierced in an instant.
When he opened his eyes again, Rove's vision had come to the body of the Bowtruckle, but the main body was leaning on the chair with eyes closed, as if asleep.
The boy controlled the body of the Bowtruckle, and he stood up, but when he walked, he was trembling and swaying, very uncoordinated.
After only a few steps, Rove stumbled to the ground and fell flat on his face.
After a little adaptation, he was able to stagger and walk. Although he would fall when running too fast, it was much better.
Rove became excited. He really felt like a Bowtruckle at this moment. Even if he fell, the feedback of the pain was so real.
After swaying around, the boy ran towards Shirley. When he got close, he suddenly exerted force, suddenly accelerated his pace, jumped up, and stepped on Shirley's robe seven or eight steps in succession before he showed signs of falling.
However, Rolf did not fall. He had already reached out and grabbed Shirley's ponytail. The boy continued to climb up like a monkey and soon came to the girl's shoulder.
Rolf sat on Shirley's shoulder, raised his head, swayed, and watched her feed the ball fish.
This is a very wonderful feeling!
When Shirley stood up, Rolf did not stabilize his body and stumbled into the pool.
The girl suddenly reached out and caught Rolf who was about to fall into the water. She gently held him in her palm and said softly:
"You drank fake wine, Groot?"
Shirley looked at the confused Bowtruckle and felt cute. She stretched out her fingers and touched the head of this naughty guy, then smiled brightly and nodded his head affectionately with the tip of her nose.
Rolf withdrew from the control of the Bowtruckle and his consciousness returned to his body. The boy rubbed his cheeks. He suddenly understood the feeling of Professor McGonagall being rubbed by himself.
This magic... is really a punishment! !

At night,
A slug bird flew out of the Hufflepuff common room.
Rolf had become somewhat addicted to the shapeshifter. He had changed three magical creatures a day, and now it was the turn of the slug bird.
But he also discovered a problem. His consciousness could only last for half an hour at most after entering a magical creature, and would be forced back out.
Rolf could not control two magical creatures at the same time, which should be his limit at this stage.
But half an hour was enough. It was not good to be too long or too short.
Rolf flew along the corridor, and when he passed the second floor, he saw Filch patrolling, and Mrs. Norris was beside him.
Filch also saw the slug bird above his head, but did not speak. He just muttered a few words, as if he recognized Rolf's bird.
Rolf was flying in the castle. He was going to see Quirrell, so he flew towards the school hospital on the second floor.
Just before reaching the hospital, he heard a conversation in a corridor.
He flew towards them lightly, landed quietly on a towering statue, and then listened.
"... No... I don't know why you want to... meet me here, Severus..."
"Why, do you want to meet me on the rooftop?" Snape stared at Quirrell's eyes.
"No... No..."
Without the Dark Lord, Quirrell could finally scratch the back of his head to his heart's content. He scratched it hard and said, "I'm injured... Madam Pomfrey won't let me out for too long..."
"Then I'll make it short." Snape interrupted, "Have you figured out how to subdue Hagrid's three-headed dog?"
"Severus, you..." Quirrell looked at Snape in shock, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Don't understand?" Snape said coldly, "Don't you know that the Philosopher's Stone is hidden under the restricted area?"
"Do you want to steal the Philosopher's Stone..." Quirrell stammered. "This is not good... If Professor Dumbledore knew..."
"Don't pretend, Quirrell." Snape said coldly: "I know your purpose. You don't want me to be your enemy..."
Rolf stood on the armor and watched the scene below. He felt that Dumbledore really screwed Snape.
Dumbledore probably told Snape to monitor Quirrell, but he didn't tell him that Voldemort was behind Quirrell, and even the Dark Lord was hiding on the back of Quirrell's head.
If he knew this, Snape would definitely not dare to threaten Quirrell directly like this.
But this is also Professor Snape's ability. After stopping Quirrell from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, he can persuade Voldemort to believe in himself in the future.
What is a top spy?
At this moment, a crash sounded, and someone accidentally knocked over an armor. The armor made a shrill, creepy scream, breaking the silence of the castle.
Rolf turned his head and saw nothing. It seems that he is not the only one eavesdropping, there are other wizards nearby. It's just that the man either used the Disillusionment Charm or wore... an Invisibility Cloak.
Snape turned around suddenly and asked sharply, "Who's there?"
But no one answered.
Quirrell stared at Snape, and he suddenly took a step forward and hugged Snape's thin body from behind.
Under the moonlight,
the bald man,
hugged the middle-aged man.
Tightly.
Snape was completely stunned, and he said angrily: "Let go quickly, Quirrell."
Quirrell saw Snape struggling, and reached out and grabbed his greasy hair fiercely, crying:
"Severus... I didn't do anything... Don't force me..."
Quirrell was thrown away by magic and hit the wall.
Rolf stood on the armor and looked at Quirrell who fell to the ground, and he was stunned.
Quirrell... have you always been so brave?
