HP trickle down

Facing the astonishment of the three people, Bert slowly got another glass of water, took a sip and said, "I'm not lying, but it's just a phantom of Slytherin."

"The phantom is amazing too," Anthony opened his eyes wide. "What does Slytherin look like? Is it thick or handsome? Or is it particularly weird...?"

Anthony listed a series of possibilities, Burt shook his head and vetoed them all.Seeing that Anthony was about to be depressed to death by his own curiosity, Bert said: "There is a bit of an emperor's aura. Because he is just a phantom, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, there should be something else on top of that phantom." things that can think for themselves like magical portraits.”

"Hearing what you said, I'm even more curious!" Anthony rubbed his face, regretting that he didn't see the founder.

Heinrich didn't have any special expectations for this. After all, as a German, he really didn't have any special sense of belonging to Hogwarts.It felt good to be with Anthony, Bert, and Severus for a long time now.The strong man from thousands of years ago is not really alive, so he is not interested at all.

Severus' eyes lit up, and he asked, "The phantom of Lord Slytherin is still there?" If so, maybe the phantom of Slytherin can be used as a free teacher to solve the problem.

"It's gone, it disappeared after signing a contract with me." Bert shrugged, looking very regretful.

Anthony sighed in disappointment. He knew he would have gone with Burt, but now he can't see it either.

Severus felt that something was wrong when he heard the contract was concluded, and asked, "What did you agree to?"

Burt smiled gently: "It's a small matter, solve the insect plague in the Forbidden Forest, and then I can inherit the property of Slytherin, isn't it a good deal?"

Severus frowned, and said: "You don't like to meddle in other people's business, and it's not in your character to agree to such a thing."

"If I don't agree, Slytherin's contract will be invalidated, and Hogwarts will disappear..." Burt felt very unhappy when he thought of the reasons that forced him, "In short, that's it."

"There are bugs in the Forbidden Forest? What kind of bug?" Anthony felt that things were not as simple as Bert said.If it was really as easy as Bert showed, how could it be forced to be raised when the illusion of Slytherin was about to disappear.Then how to choose the best heir?

Heinrich also said: "Bert, don't hide it from us. Tell us if you have any difficulties, and we will find a solution together."

"No, things are actually quite easy." Burt thought of the acromantula's natural enemy, "Actually, Slytherin left something that can help me. It's not as difficult as you think. If If there's anything you can do to help, of course I won't be polite." Burt guessed that the basilisk was in the women's toilet.

Severus snorted, and said, "Of course I have no right to control your excellency. If you are a hero, go." Severus was quite dissatisfied with Burt's secretive behavior.

Bert knew that Severus now felt that what he was going to do was dangerous, so Severus was very dissatisfied now, and could only say: "I want to clean up the acromantula in the Forbidden Forest."

"Acromantula? Are you kidding me?!" Anthony's voice rose an octave.Heinrich also looked at Bert in surprise.

Severus turned sideways and looked at Bert angrily: "You treat your life like a joke?" Although he likes these magical creatures, what he likes is that these magical creatures appear as potion ingredients in his potion In the closet instead of listening to Bert going to get rid of these... these horrible things!

"Don't worry too much, I will have a perfect plan, you should think about what will happen if you inherit Slytherin." Bert tried his best to make the atmosphere relaxed, but none of the people present felt that they could relax .

Anthony patted the table and said, "What are you thinking? Why are there such dangerous magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest? What do you want to do?" Anthony would not just watch Burt die.

Severus sneered: "Gryffindor's impulsive individual heroism has already infected the clever brain of the great elf duke, and he wants to challenge the hordes of acromantula beyond his control. "He is flustered now, and he is even more annoyed at Burt's pretending to be relaxed.

"Don't do this, Sev." Burt hugged Severus into his arms, "I will think of a perfect solution, you have to trust me. And the acromantula also has its own natural enemies, and I already have a solution."

"Your solution is to face everything by yourself?" Severus's lowered voice had a hissing tone, a bit gloomy and a bit dangerous.And he was very unhappy to be hugged by Bert like this, just like facing a child.

Burt pressed Severus's back neck, making it impossible for Severus to break free, and said, "I trust you, but I don't want you to follow the acromantula. You all know my current strength, and I am alone Even if you are escaping, you have to be faster. Your strength is not enough."

The reason Burt didn't say it at first was because he didn't want them to go with him.That was just adding trouble, Burt wasn't sure he could take care of them well.

Severus fell silent, Anthony clenched his hands into fists, and Heinrich was speechless: Although their strength has been trained for so long, they are still not enough.There is indeed no way for Burt to do this. If that time comes, they will probably be dragged down.

"The acromantula in the Forbidden Forest was raised by Hagrid, not left over from the era of the Big Four. However, I don't know when Hagrid raised it, so I can't estimate what is going on in the Forbidden Forest now. How many acromanders are there?" Burt watched them calm down and let go of Severus.

"I will not fight an uncertain battle. I will first know when Hagrid raised these spiders, and then I will use the natural enemies of the acromantula to deal with them. No matter what kind of magical creatures, facing my blood There will always be fear." Bert didn't say anything nonsense.

Severus didn't speak anymore, but the heaving of his chest became noticeably more intense.Anthony is the weakest, and now he can only shut up.As for Heinrich, he said: "I can find a way to transport the spider-eating bird, but if this bird is transported here from its original place, it will also be an invasive species."

"Of course I know," Burt nodded. "Spider-eating birds are the natural enemy of acromantulas. Of course we know that, and there is no problem in transporting them. Anyway, spider-eating birds have relatively low reproductive ability. They won't be able to deal with the arachnids after I solve them." Destroy the Forbidden Forest after the spider problem."

"Then Heinrich, thank you very much." Burt knew that it would not be easy to transport the spider-eating bird, because the spider-eating bird was definitely bigger than an adult acromantula when it reached adulthood.

Anthony rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to transport the spider-eating bird, it is absolutely impossible to do so quietly. We have to make things big and let the school take this issue seriously."

"I'll find a way." What Anthony said was exactly what Bert thought of, but Bert was still thinking about how to make things worse.

Severus said, "I disappeared for two days... just say I went to the Forbidden Forest to gather medicine and didn't come back."

"Severus..." Burt's eyes widened, looking at Severus.Severus figured this out so quickly, but...

"Good idea, Severus!" Anthony applauded.

Burt saw Severus' firm expression, nodded, and said, "Then, Severus has wronged you for a while. What he said after he came back..."

"I found a secret room and was locked in it and couldn't get out." Severus answered coldly.

Bert let out a breath, and said, "Sev, you should go home for the next two days, so as not to be seen by others."

"I know." Severus looked at Burt with distaste.

"Sev, I'm not by your side. You are not allowed to do potion research day and night, and you are not allowed to carry out any activities without control." Burt thought about the current active place in the castle except his secret room, other places All closed.Severus would definitely not be comfortable living in it like this, and said, "Sev, go to the Alfred Manor in Germany."

Severus nodded, remembering that Lance and Stephanie lived in the manor in Germany now.Ask Lance a question, and Stephanie can teach her what to learn instead of what's bad.

Anthony looked at the two people discussing here, almost completely ignoring him and Heinrich, and couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Don't gossip here like explaining the funeral, what else do you want to do? Tell us quickly so we can help you."

Heinrich nodded affirmatively, expressing that he also had a heart in it.

Burt said: "I should use alchemy to make a similar doll for the acromant to eat. I guess that half-blood giant Hagrid won't believe that his spider is a man-eating monster. If he doesn't take out some The actual evidence, he will definitely not tell the truth."

Anthony nodded, and Heinrich asked, "Bert, shall we prepare the materials for you?"

"That would be great," Burt said bluntly, "I make a list of what I need, and Anthony and Heinrich will help me prepare things. Severus, I need your help Prepare a potion."

Severus saw that he was also useful and he was not distrusted by Bert, so he was quite satisfied in his heart: "What potion?"

"You know that the black potion in the prescription left by Prince can assist the human body in alchemy..." Bert wanted to create a doll that was similar to the human body, but generally speaking, he wanted to create a human body. It takes a lot of time, and if it is quick, you can only use potions to cooperate.

Severus knew what Bert wanted. The reason why the potion became a forbidden drug was because it was a necessary auxiliary potion for the darker direction of human alchemy. There was nothing wrong with the potion itself.So Severus nodded, and immediately went to see if there was anything missing in his medicinal materials, so that he could get the finished product as soon as possible.

Burt's human body alchemy is only involved in the elementary level, and the advanced level of human body alchemy can restrain other people's souls and become his own puppet.This stepped on the sore feet of wizards, and this was a research direction that they absolutely did not allow.But this puppet does not involve the soul, it is just a doll-like thing, at most it will be indistinguishable from the acromander because of its human-like texture.At that time, even if things fail, you can get out smoothly.

Things had been arranged, and Burt immediately started to write down the list of materials he needed, because it was only for the purpose of making it for the acromant to eat, so Burt did not pursue advanced materials.It's just a waste if it's done too well. This time, I will use ordinary methods, so as not to see the weirdness in it at a glance.

Severus first made a list of the things he needed, and Bert then wrote them down. Anthony and Heinrich took the list and looked at it, and found that none of them were valuable things. It only looks like more than 3000 gold coins at most.

"Anthony, I'll give you the money first." Burt estimated that it would not exceed [-] gold coins, and planned to ask Ruili to bring the money from home.

"You're crazy, it's only four thousand gold coins, all of them are taken in the dormitory to 'show off your wealth'? I still have such a little money, and these things can't just be bought like this." Anthony directly refused Burt to pay the money himself out behavior.

Heinrich directly copied the two identical lists with magic, and said: "I will arrange for people to buy them, so that people will not see what they are buying these things for."

Anthony nodded. He and Heinrich went to buy these things separately. Heinrich could also buy some materials in Germany and send them over, so that no one would notice anything.

The giant eight-eyed spider shouldn't have any problems like this.
