Although Sectumsempra is good, Chen Yu still favored Avada Kedavra.
After practicing Sectumsempra for a while, he spent the rest of his time practicing Avada Kedavra.
When Chen Yu finished practicing spells at 9:30 PM, the system prompted that all daily tasks were completed.
He had accumulated 100 mysterious fragments, which could be exchanged for a random skill card or a random item card.
The random skill card could yield the three Unforgivable Curses, while the random item card could yield the Serpent Spell.
Both were very useful to him, and Chen Yu was torn between exchanging for a random skill card or a random item card.
After much thought, he finally chose to exchange for a random item card.
He could now learn magic from the teachers at Hogwarts, and if that wasn't enough, he could go to the Library and the Restricted Section.
For him, the conditions for acquiring skills were not lacking.
However, Chen Yu had no way to obtain various magical alchemy items.
The Philosopher's Stone? The Mirror of Erised? The Elder wand? The Sword of Gryffindor?
Come on, they have owners, right? Stealing things right under Dumbledore's nose?
Chen Yu felt that his life was not as tough as Harry's.
There were indeed some shops selling magical items in Diagon Alley.
But he was just a poor student; could those precious magical alchemy items really be bought for a few hundred Galleons?
As for crafting magical alchemy equipment himself, the knowledge required far exceeded the knowledge base of an average Little Wizards.
The Weasley Brothers were geniuses, which is why they could invent prank items with some magical effects.
If he wanted to be like the Weasley Brothers and create items with magical effects, he would need to learn various runes and alchemy-related knowledge.
Chen Yu felt it wasn't the right time to sacrifice spell practice for learning rune alchemy knowledge.
It wouldn't be too late to learn about runes and alchemy after he had mastered spells to a deep level and felt confident he could withstand a few moves from Lord Voldemort.
Learning rune alchemy knowledge now would be neglecting the main point, getting priorities reversed, and dropping the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
"Exchange for a random item card."
【Player consumes 100 mysterious fragments to exchange for a random item card.】
A hard card appeared in Chen Yu's hand.
The back of the card had a picture of a treasure, while the front was covered with a silver-gray coating.
【Does the player want to use the random item card?】
"Yes."
The coating on the card gradually disappeared, and a purple hat was printed on the card.
The middle of the hat had a ferocious big mouth, glowing with a faint blue light inside.
Seeing the familiar image, Chen Yu was overjoyed.
【Congratulations, player, you have obtained the magical item: rabadon's death crown.】
【Item Name: rabadon's death crown】
【Description: rabadon's death crown comes from a magical item in the world of League of Legends, one of the pieces of equipment left by the destroyer hat Morello. Wearers can greatly enhance their spell power, making it an item that fundamentally transforms a mage.】
In the game League of Legends, rabadon's death crown provides players with a 120 spell power bonus and an additional 40% spell power bonus.
It is a very powerful magical item.
Chen Yu looked at the death crown in his hand.
It had a similar appearance to the Sorting Hat but with different colors.
It is said that the icon design for rabadon's death crown might have been inspired by Harry's Sorting Hat in the novel Harry Potter.
After all, it also has two eyes and a pattern resembling a mouth.
Compared to the dusty appearance of the Sorting Hat, the death crown in his hand was more vibrant in color.
Especially its glowing red eyes and glowing blue mouth, all reminded him that this was a powerful and evil magical item.
Unfortunately, compared to the Sorting Hat, this rabadon's death crown couldn't speak.
Chen Yu put the death crown on his head.
Good things naturally needed to be tested.
Chen Yu carefully sensed the changes in the magic within his body.
The death crown did not increase the quantity of his magic, but rather made it feel much more solidified.
If his original magic was like plastic toy bullets, then after putting on the death crown, the plastic bullets in his body all turned into steel balls of the same size.
Although the size was the same, he could feel a qualitative change in the inner magic.
Chen Yu tried to use Avada Kedavra once on the dummy in the Room of Requirement.
It still consumed five points of magic, but Avada Kedavra without the hat was like a toy water gun bought for a dozen yuan, while with the hat, it became a firefighter's hose.
The green light, whether in speed, range, or width, had undergone a qualitative leap.
Chen Yu also tested Sectumsempra.
Sectumsempra, which originally could only make a cut on the dummy's chest, now not only directly pulverized the dummy but also left a wide crack on the wall behind the dummy.
It was like being cut by an invisible sword, upgrading to being cut by an invisible greatsword.
"Cool!"
Chen Yu took off the destroyer hat and put it in his backpack.
With it, he wouldn't be afraid of Quirrell causing trouble by releasing a Troll.
Let alone releasing one Troll, Chen Yu felt he could handle an entire tribe.
Moreover, he could now secretly go exploring in the Forbidden Forest.
Encounter danger? What danger? He was the most dangerous one.
Tomorrow was Saturday, and with Saturday and Sunday off, there were no classes.
He would go to the Forbidden Forest to catch a magical animal to roast and taste.
He wanted to see how different the energy provided by ordinary creatures was from that provided by magical animals.
Of course, he also had to be careful of Professor Quirrell.
Quirrell, possessed by Lord Voldemort, also liked to wander frequently in the Forbidden Forest; if he accidentally ran into him, it wouldn't be fun.
Although Lord Voldemort, after splitting his soul, seemed mad in the original story, harboring a twisted obsession with Harry and always wanting to duel him.
But when the opponent was someone else, it was uncertain whether Lord Voldemort would reveal some unknown trump cards.
Besides, he hadn't been at Hogwarts for long, and he hadn't finished learning all his spells, so he really shouldn't face the boss alone.
Feeling that today's spell practice was sufficient, he pulled out "Defensive and Deterrent spells" from his backpack and began to self-study the Shield Charm.
Time always passed quickly when one was engrossed in studying spells alone. By the time Chen Yu came to his senses, it was already late at night.
Holding the Serpent Spell, he walked out of the Room of Requirement, went to the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, dispelled his invisibility, and after saying the password, entered the common room.
The common room was pitch black, with only some embers in the fireplace flickering faintly.
Chen Yu was already familiar with this.
He walked around the dark armchairs, preparing to return to the Gryffindor boys' dormitory.
Suddenly, he heard a voice from a chair near the dormitory corridor: "I can't believe it, Chen Yu, I didn't expect you to be out at night too."
In the silent common room, Chen Yu was startled by Hermione's sudden voice.
He hadn't expected Hermione to still be sitting in the Gryffindor common room.
Chen Yu was a bit strange; logically, Hermione should be resting in the girls' dormitory at this hour. Why was she sitting in the Gryffindor common room, and from her tone, it wasn't like she was specifically waiting for him.
A lamp on the table suddenly lit up with a "poof," and Chen Yu saw Hermione wearing a pink nightgown, frowning as she looked at him.
Chen Yu ruffled his hair and said with an embarrassed expression, "I went out to practice spells. You know me, I love spells very much, but how can I master so many spells just during class time? And some more powerful spells are not suitable for practicing in the common room or dormitory, so I always find abandoned classrooms to practice spells."
Hearing that Chen Yu wasn't out causing trouble like Harry and Ron, the frown on her face eased a little, and she continued to say to Chen Yu, "But you shouldn't do that. What if you get caught by a patrolling professor or Filch? Wouldn't that make the already dwindling Gryffindor House Cup points even worse? I've been studying hard because I want to win the House Cup, and I don't want Slytherin to win the House Cup again."
The Gryffindor House Cup?
Isn't that something anyone can win?
As long as Harry was in Gryffindor, and with Professor Dumbledore, who favored Harry, the House Cup was practically secured.
