Chapter 28 Suspicion
Hearing the word "breakfast," Fang Senyan's expression became incredibly interesting! He immediately jumped up from the sofa faster than Edward the vampire, hiding behind Das. Das also readily grabbed his Mauser rifle, cocked the trigger, and aimed.
Hagrid shrugged and shook his head, placing the tray he was holding on a small dwarf round table nearby. Then, he took out a wooden ladle from behind, scooped a full ladle of clear water, and poured it directly onto the sofa. The water immediately soaked into the leather cushions, as directly and thirstily as a river seeping into the desert.
"Alright," Hagrid said nonchalantly, "You can sit on it again."
Fang Senyan was stunned and speechless.
"That ladle of water... is that its breakfast?"
Hagrid immediately beamed.
"Yes! Although this Kelpie made a few mistakes before, including capsizing a tourist boat in Loch Ness, the little darling didn't mean to! So, I secretly caught a hippopotamus to take the blame for it with the Ministry of Magic, and brought it here to live with me. Now, although it's starting to hibernate, its skin is still very warm, so I had it act as a cushion for a while. Oh, blast it, I've let it slip again!"
Das smiled.
"You can rest assured, Mr. Hagrid, we were all focused on enjoying the oatmeal porridge you brought us and didn't hear anything."
As he spoke, he immediately picked up the tray Hagrid had brought, distributed the oatmeal porridge in the small wooden bowls to the others, then took a sip. His expression immediately became very interesting, and he quickly poured the rest of the porridge into his mouth in a few gulps. The other two weren't fools either. Seeing his appearance, they immediately snatched the remaining two bowls of oatmeal porridge and poured them into their mouths in one gulp. Although they were burned and grimacing, joy appeared on their faces.
"You have consumed Hagrid's oatmeal porridge for the first time."
"Your highest basic attribute point permanently +1."
"Your health has been restored by 50%."
"Consuming this food again will not increase attribute points."
Obviously, this should be the extra reward given by Nightmare Space after killing the troll. The three looked at each other, with a bit of lingering joy and a bit of unspeakable delight.
Hagrid also drank a bowl of porridge himself, then frowned as he looked at the huge troll head at the door.
"Logically speaking, trolls shouldn't appear here in this season... but in any case, you've done a good thing and cleared up a hidden danger for Hogwarts. This kind of thing is worthy of reward. Very well, you have gained my trust!"
When Hagrid said this, Fang Senyan and the others simultaneously received a prompt.
"Hagrid's impression of you has increased by 1000 points."
"Currently, Hagrid's impression of you is neutral: 476/3000."
Fang Senyan, with only a few points of charm, began to lament, because he heard Das excitedly muttering to himself, "Wow, cool, the impression has increased by an extra 1500 points...!" Fortunately, a series of messages distracted him.
"Subsequent main quest: "Recognition" completed."
"You have obtained the qualification to remain at Hogwarts after the start of the term."
"You have obtained the identity of a Hogwarts gamekeeper."
"Your Merit Points +2."
"The time you can stay in this world has been reset. You can continue to stay in this world for seven days. You can also choose to return to Nightmare Space immediately. As long as you can board the Hogwarts Express 5972 bound for Hogwarts on Platform 9 and ¾, you can perform the operation to return to Nightmare Space. Of course, you must be in a non-combat state at that time."
Hagrid stood up from that sturdy little stool and clapped his hands.
"Alright, lads, there's still some time from now until the start of school. My suggestion is that you wander around, because after those little rascals start school, there won't be many opportunities like this. I believe you've also realized that this is a world filled with magic. You can experience the beautiful scenery around Hogwarts, or you can go to Diagon Alley to see some new things. Of course—remember to bring your Hogwarts badge, otherwise Old Nick won't be lenient."
Fang Senyan and the others certainly wouldn't wear the Hogwarts badge on their chests at all times, but kept it in the storage space of the Nightmare Mark. When they took it out at this time, there was a faint glow on it, obviously because the badge had been specially enchanted after switching from a temporary worker to a permanent one. And there was even an attribute of +3% movement speed after carrying it!
At this time, Hagrid turned around and handed over three envelopes, yawning absentmindedly.
"Recently, I don't know why, but I always like to take a nap after breakfast..."
At this time, a strange and sharp cry suddenly came from the room inside. Fang Senyan didn't feel anything, but Ge Li was a guy who liked to play games. He immediately heard that the sound was clearly the sound of a Zergling hatching in Starcraft—of course, amplified by a factor of ten. He immediately understood that Hagrid's breeding habit had struck again, and immediately stood up to say goodbye. Fang Senyan and the others naturally followed him out.
After the three got the envelopes and opened them, they found that they contained pounds—currency that could only be used in this world. It seemed that this was the salary that Hogwarts was paying them. Unfortunately, Fang Senyan's salary was the lowest again... only 82 pounds, while Das, the highest, got 113 pounds.
"What are your plans now?" Ge Li suddenly asked after going out.
Fang Senyan shrugged.
"I'm going to get some sleep first, and then this afternoon I have to go and please the Bowtruckle again. I've already dealt with 23 of them. I should be able to complete this milestone by tomorrow. After completing the "Compassionate Person" milestone, the title: Bowtruckle's Reward (Speed) is still quite useful."
Ge Li smiled and said.
"This title is indeed useful. When titles are synthesized in the future, if the (Speed) attached to that title can be increased, then the value will be very high. What about you, Das?"
"Title synthesis?"
Fang Senyan suddenly captured the extra information attached to Ge Li's words. He suddenly realized that compared with these people who had joined the organization, the disadvantage was really not a little bit. The difference in the amount of information exchange alone was too much. At this time, Das returned to his cold appearance and said lightly.
"Of course I have my own things to do."
Ge Li was not angry, and said seriously.
"I have already contacted the Metal Mentor. After hearing about the changes on our side, he has put down his affairs and rushed over. It is estimated that he will arrive soon. The Mentor said he would like to communicate with the two of you. Of course, there is also my personal request: because our Symbiosis Society's actions this time were caused by that idiot and traitor Crowbar, and only I am left alive out of the five, how can I possibly explain things clearly with only my personal testimony without material evidence? So please be sure to stay and clear my name."
"Of course, I will not waste everyone's time in vain. Someone in the Symbiosis Society has already completed the milestone: Enthusiast and obtained the "Omnipotent" title with all attributes +3. After this is over, I can make the decision to sell the detailed process of this series of tasks to you at a low price."
Ge Li's words were also reasonable, and there was also substantial temptation, so Fang Senyan and Das both agreed to stay. Das was very frank and had nothing to feel guilty about, while Fang Senyan had high psychological quality and believed that he had done everything perfectly. Taking advantage of the gap, Fang Senyan inquired about the attributes of the "Fearless" title obtained after killing a legendary creature, and suddenly felt a little regretful! Because the attribute of the Fearless title can actually additionally increase the wearer's maximum health by 5%! The usefulness of this to Fang Senyan can be imagined! If he had known this earlier, Fang Senyan would have taken some risks to make up for that 10% damage to the troll. But fortunately, this title can be completed later, and it is not permanently missed.
The Metal Mentor didn't make them wait too long, and in less than half an hour, he crawled out of the fireplace at Hogwarts Railway Station. The Metal Mentor's figure was shrouded in a cloak inlaid with sharp metal scales, wearing a mask of the Heart K from a deck of cards. The mask was actually made attached to the flesh and could express emotions vividly. He forced a smile at Fang Senyan and Das, then immediately frowned at Ge Li.
"What's going on! How could it become like this?"
Ge Li was obviously a big and sturdy man, but in front of the Metal Mentor, he was as obedient as a cat. He retold everything in detail, without adding any personally colored inferences.
After listening to Ge Li's account, the Metal Mentor asked Fang Senyan and Das to tell them what they had seen and heard, and the questions he asked were all key. Das, a person with a proud personality, also restrained himself in front of the Metal Mentor and answered honestly. But Fang Senyan was even more shameless, directly saying that he was hit by the troll's homerun and fell into a deep coma, and he didn't know anything about it.
Tomorrow a new week begins, I hope everyone will give me free recommendation votes so that this book can stay on the weekly recommendation list! I will repay everyone with more updates!
