[Mission—Glory of Hufflepuff! completed! 】

【Title—"Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, and Defence of Hardships" has been won! 】

[Effect: When cultivating herbs, the quality increases by 20%, when making dishes, the quality increases by 20%, and when making potions, the quality increases by 20%. 】

This is the reward that Link received after enshrining the Hufflepuff Golden Cup.

But that's not all. When the golden cup buzzed, Link could clearly feel that Helga Hufflepuff in that portrait looked at him as if he had come to life.

The other party's sight carried a magical power, which made Link feel as if he had been seen through his whole body and heart.

Link never considered himself a good person.

It is precisely because of this that Link was guilty of being'watched' by Helga Hufflepuff.

This feeling is like a wanderer who has been away from home for many years and still has done nothing. Suddenly, his mother asked how he was doing.

That strong feeling of disappointment made Link instinctively close his eyes and lower his head.

Only when Link couldn't bear to open his eyes, he only saw the touch of distress on Ms. Helga Hufflepuff's face.

Not only that, but Ms. Hufflepuff seemed to have penetrated something invisible into his body.

This is not a curse, nor is it a panacea that can enhance strength.

If you use the game terminology of the previous life to describe it, this is more like some kind of mental power that can restore the sanity value (san value).

After washing with this power, Link only felt his heart relieved.

The haze, pressure, and all kinds of negative thoughts that had been oppressing him like a mountain had melted like a spring sun! ?

This shocked Link.

Because of what he did, he had already broken away from the teachings of Hufflepuff College.

In terms of integrity, the people who died directly or indirectly because of him could almost fill an entire Hogwarts Auditorium.

In terms of loyalty, he is now plotting to seize the inheritance of his ally Dumbledore.

In terms of honesty, Link has long forgotten how many lies in order to achieve his own goals.

Among all the qualities, there is one who is not afraid of hardships, and he may be able to barely qualify.

Even if he has become like this, is Ms. Hufflepuff still willing to accept him?

As soon as this question appeared, Link already had the answer in his mind.

The so-called integrity, loyalty, honesty and fear of hardship are actually just qualities that Ms. Hufflepuff expects students to possess.

And the real value of Hufflepuff is that it treats everyone equally!

No matter how bad your talent is, no matter what your character is, even the other three academies don't want you, but as long as you are willing, the door of Hufflepuff will be opened for you.

Hufflepuff is kind.

She could never be cruel, to let a child come to Hogwarts hopefully, but was disappointed to leave because there was no academy willing to accept him.

Ever since, she embraced every child.

And to infuse them with the most sincere and beautiful blessings and expectations!

Link panting heavily, raised his head and stared at the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff above.

The surging and moving in my heart is almost beyond words.

Fortunately, this kind of Link was not eye-catching among the equally excited classmates, so no one noticed his abnormality.

"Okay! Now all back to me!"

Professor Sprout's voice calmed the crowd slightly.

Everyone stepped back as instructed to make room for the golden cup on the fireplace.

Professor Sprout took out his magic wand with a solemn expression, and a golden light curtain shrouded the golden cup among several swings.

This scene made many people stare.

But the golden light quickly retreated.

"Just put the gold cup here. I just cast a spell around it, unless Dumbledore comes personally, otherwise no one will be able to take it out of the Hufflepuff common room without letting me find it. Professor Sprout announced, "But it's not enough! The golden cup is the glory of Lady Hufflepuff, and it is also the treasure of all of us Hufflepuffs! I need you to happen, and protect it no matter what happens. . Can it be done?"

There was a loud response from the crowd, and Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction when he saw this:

"If that's the case, then everyone should go home quickly! Obedient, don't surround the gold cup, you will have time to watch in the future, and you will have class tomorrow!"

Now the excited students are a little reluctant.

But under the scolding of the prefects and Professor Sprout himself, everyone eventually rushed towards their dormitories slowly.

At this moment, Professor Sprout alone grabbed Link's arm.

"Oh! Merlin! Hufflepuff's gold cup is back. I can't believe it. I still feel like I'm dreaming!"

Sprout said with emotion, "Link, thank you for your contribution to Hufflepuff College! I am tomorrow, oh no! I am going to tell Flivy them this good news now! Of course, there are other graduations. My alumni! They will be grateful to you!"

Lin Ke smiled upon hearing this:

"No need to, Professor Sprout, I'm Hufflepuff too. Isn't this what I should do?"

Professor Sprout was visibly stunned, and after reacting, he laughed and said:

"Yeah, yeah, what you said is really good! But there must be no less gratitude! Don't worry, you will never be disappointed!"

After that, Professor Sprout didn't care about Link, and ran out of the common room while jogging.

Seeing Sprout’s rather sturdy figure gradually disappearing, Link did not return to the dormitory like the others. It switched to the form of a potion workshop, and began to place "Slytherin's Grimoire" and the various potions equipment he used to one by one on the workbench.

He needs to test the effects of the title of "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, and Undaunted Hardship".

In today's Link's combat system, the effect that potions can play has been getting smaller and smaller.

Several buff potions like Link that took a lot of effort to reproduce before are basically no longer used. For this reason, Link even gave up the additional benefits that they might bring from level upgrades.

This is not because of the difficulties encountered.

It was simply because the effects of these potions did not greatly benefit Link's current battle.

It's not just these potions.

To be precise, the entire potion system of the modern wizarding world has basically abandoned the research on combat gain effects.

Those potions masters are now more inclined to make logistic potions that detoxify, heal injuries, restore spell damage, or other effects.

This is a helpless move caused by the characteristics of the material.

Because those materials with powerful gain characteristics have basically been used and extinct by their predecessors of potion masters.

And now, the title of "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, Rather Than Hardship" gives Link a new opportunity.

An opportunity to bring back the powerful potions of the past to the modern stage!

"call-"

After taking a long breath, the magical power generated by Occlumency is wrapped in coolness, gradually spreading from the top of Link's head, finally making Link's whole person into a state of almost absolute sanity.

Then, Link opened the "Slytherin Grimoire" and pulled out two pages from it and slowly unfolded it.

I saw it was written on it-"Mental Stimulating Elixir" and "The Secret Medicine of Fighting God's Roar".

These two potions were selected from "Slytherin's Grimoire" after Link's careful selection, a buff potion that took into account both the effect and the feasibility.

Among them, "Mental Stimulating Elixir" can improve the body's tolerance to magical power operation within a certain period of time after taking it, so that wizards can cast spells faster and more efficiently, which is equivalent to reducing the cooling time of spell casting.

"The Secret Medicine of Battle God's Roar" is much more straightforward.

This potion can directly increase the strength of the magic power and increase the effect of the magic power in a short time.

Of course, due to the fact that the materials in the original formula have been extinct and need to be replaced, even Link with the new title is not sure whether he can recreate these two potions.

And even if it is re-engraved, the specific effects and duration caused by the new materials still need to be tested in actual combat.

In the responsive room bright as daylight, Link didn't hesitate for too long, and quickly plunged into potion making.

Link at this moment is focused and has no emotions.

Blackroot, Schlumbergera, Aspidistra, Lionfish Loin Meal, Salamander Blood...

Various materials continuously turned into juice or powder in his hands wearing dragon leather gloves, and were immediately thrown into the hot crucible.

The whole process was simple, fast and smooth, without any hesitation.

There is no need to hesitate.

The production process of these two potions has been virtually constructed countless times by him. Each process in it has been strictly considered, and it has long been turned into instinct and imprinted in Link's mind.

This kind of busyness lasted for nearly an hour before Link was slightly free.

He covered the crucible that had been filled with various materials, and then used his pulse to measure the time, and he began to observe the shape of the smoke that wafted from the cracks in the crucible very carefully.

This step is very important, the boiling time and firepower will directly affect the final potion product.

At this moment, the door of the responsive room opened again.

Snape walked in with his clothes unchanged for thousands of years.

Link ignored him, not even looking in that direction.

Snape didn't speak for the first time either.

He squirmed his nose, took a big breath of air mixed with the smell of medicine, and then frowned.

"You shouldn't continue to bother with those ancient prescriptions, the past experience has already told us, it's just a waste of effort!"

Snape's emotionless voice echoed in the responsive room.

But Link still acted as if he hadn't heard.

After a weird silence, Snape moved closer and said:

"Did you promise Harry Potter to teach him Occlumency?"

"Yes."

Link said softly, but Realization still stared at the crucible.

"Who is it that allowed you to do that?!" Snape finally showed some emotional changes on his face, raised the volume and groaned, "You obviously know those things, but now you have done it again. Such a decision!"

Link frowned, as if he was not pleased with Snape's yelling.

He opened the rod of the crucible and stirred it clockwise twice with a quartz stirring rod. Then he answered the wrong question:

"Where did Dumbledore go?"

Snape was silent.

Link's problem seemed to wake him up from his anger.

The expression on his face gradually faded, and finally turned into the same indifference as Link.

"Link, what do you want to do?"

"Do what I should do."

"What do you mean?!"

Hearing that Link finally turned his head, looked at Snape and said:

"Keep your life."

"what!"

Snape couldn't help laughing. He looked at Link with a little relief and regret, waved his hand and said:

"I have done too many wrong things in my life, I should have died long ago! Link, promise me not to hurt Harry, that's me..."

"Boom!"

Link at the workbench suddenly violent, and rushed to Snape, holding his collar with both hands and lifting him directly against the wall.

"Whether you should die or not has long been up to you! If you are not allowed to die, you will never die! Do you understand?" Link roared with a grim expression, "As for those old sesame seeds and rotten grains I don’t care about you! I just need you to live!"

Snape was not angry after being treated so roughly.

On the contrary, a smile of relief appeared on his face.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Link's head and said:

"You are too selfish like this."

Link didn't answer, he just turned his head to avoid Snape's hand, then put it down, and returned to the workbench to help pour out all the liquid medicine in the cauldron—the action just delayed the stirring, and the pot of medicine was gone. .

Snape seemed to have got the answer he wanted.

He sighed slightly, UU reading www. uukahnshu. com lowered his head and walked to the door somewhat lonely.

"Crack—"

The door to the responsive room was opened, but Snape did not go out.

He hid himself in the shadows, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Dumbledore went to Germany during the Christmas holidays. He has already returned to the country. He is currently staying with the members of the Order of the Phoenix. He should not be returning to Hogwarts in a short time.

In addition, Voldemort and the others are preparing to take over Azkaban, recruit dementors, and rescue the Death Eaters held there.

Link, even I can see some of the things you are going to do, and Dumbledore has no reason not to.

The reason why he hasn't moved yet, and deliberately made room for you, is probably just waiting for you to leak out, or he has his own plan.

So, be careful. "
