35 Professor Baker's Gift

But when Avada returned to the familiar Hufflepuff common room and saw those familiar faces, he didn't plan to think about it.

Now he just wanted to have a good sleep and wake up whenever he wanted!

So he immediately put this idea into practice - after saying hello to Cedric, his three roommates and other friends, he went straight back to his dormitory, then fell headfirst on the soft bed and lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes contentedly and went to the common room to get some breakfast to fill his stomach, he met the shocked eyes of the Hufflepuffs.

"It's already nine o'clock in the evening! You slept for fourteen hours in a row!"

Summers' tone was very exaggerated: "I went to your dormitory to see you several times and asked you if you wanted to have lunch and dinner... but you were snoring and couldn't hear anything. Fourteen hours just passed like this!"

 "Huh?"

Avada was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized: "Maybe it's because you were under too much pressure recently and your mind was tense, but now suddenly there is no pressure, and your mind is completely relaxed, so you slept longer... Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Of course we know you're fine, after all, you were so busy recently. Also, we did save a portion of dinner for you, but the problem is..."

 "The problem is?"

"The problem is that if you wake up at this time, you can't think of sleeping tonight, what about tomorrow's class?"

"Actually, it's not a big problem." The senior who sold intelligence-enhancing drugs to Avada a while ago heard the conversation between the few people and said happily: "Just mix a sleeping potion... It's very simple, just heat up the narcissus root powder and mugwort together."

"I just couldn't sleep for one night, and you asked me to drink the Living Hell Potion?!" Avada was horrified.

"What are you thinking? The real Living Hell Potion is much more complicated than this. It takes at least the sixth grade level to make it. This is just the base of the Living Hell Potion, which is the simplest sleeping pill..."

In the end, under the advice of the senior, Avada still mixed a simple Living Hell Potion and drank it before going to bed, and asked his roommates to wake him up on time. If they couldn't wake him up, he would take the Stimulant Potion.

After being scolded by Snape for not using too much Stimulant Potion, Avada finally finished his day's classes. So after eating a few bites of food in the hall, he immediately went to the third floor, restrained the urge to cast the Disillusionment Charm, and walked to the familiar Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and found that Baron had been waiting for him here for a long time.

The two didn't say much, looked at each other, nodded, and knocked on the office door.

 "Come in?"

The door opened with a click, revealing Professor Baker who was smiling at the two of them. He seemed to know who

was outside without opening the door.

"Come in, your rewards are ready..."

After Avada and Baron entered the office, he waved his hand and closed the door again. Then he walked to the desk, took out a large bag from the desk and opened it.

"First, the reward is 500 Galleons per person. I know you are not short of money, but 500 Galleons is not a small amount after all. It is almost all the cash I carry with me. And the cost of buying materials with your own money has been calculated, all in the bag..."

"Don't refuse, unless you think my life is not worth even 1,000 Galleons."

As he said, he took out two money bags from the big bag, and then took out two identical booklets and placed them in front of the two people with the money bags.

 "Then there is this..."

Professor Baker showed a mysterious smile: "This is the highlight of today."

 "What is this?"

The two asked curiously. The book is so small, how much valuable knowledge can be recorded on it?   

"Remember the 'double casting' I mentioned?" Professor Baker smiled and said, "The content here is the learning method of 'double casting'."

"You want to give us your trump card?!"

Avada asked in shock. Of course he remembered this skill - from the beginning, Professor Baker repeatedly warned them that they must knock down his first wand at the beginning of the battle, otherwise he can use two wands at the same time to fight with 'double casting', causing them several times the pressure!

"I believe you will not leak it out casually, and its effect is not as exaggerated as you think."

Professor Baker explained: "The essence of double casting is to use one mind for two purposes, but this will cause much greater energy consumption than usual, so it cannot be used as a general move, nor can it double your combat power out of thin air. Its role is more to use it to achieve a surprise victory when you are in a stalemate." "

But even so, it is fatal to those who don't know this move - almost all the powerful enemies who have put me in a difficult battle have fallen under this move, including Aethelred. I deliberately covered up this move when playing the memory at that time."

"There are two more..." - There are two more?

Professor Baker took out two more books: "These two books are the real knowledge of the 'Confession' magic. When I asked you to set up the magic before, you just did it according to what I said, but did not understand the principles. But now that you have successfully set up that magic, I think this knowledge should be able to play a certain role in your hands."

"However, the knowledge in it is too profound, and some parts are incomplete, so you'd better not expect to understand it before graduation."

"Finally, I have prepared a gift for each of you."

In the astonished eyes of the two, Professor Baker took out a familiar black crystal ball from the bag: "This is for Mr. Shafik."

"Professor," Baron pointed at the crystal ball with some stammering: "Is this..."

"Yes, it's the container that carried my consciousness."

Professor Baker looked at Baron's somewhat frightened eyes, and said with some amusement: "I know what you are thinking, but you think too much. This thing is just an ordinary prophecy ball now, and it won't suddenly absorb your consciousness one day. Unless you accidentally split your consciousness like me, and figure out the use of this thing by consulting a lot of secret information..."

"It has only two functions now: one is that it is strong, very strong, enough to withstand the burning of the fierce fire for ten seconds; the second is that it can perform a 'prophecy' once a month to predict the danger of the next thing you want to do. When you use this function, one to seven stars will appear inside it, one represents the safest, and seven represents the most dangerous - I have written the specific usage method in a booklet, here." "

And when you are strong, you can also try to analyze it. At that time, you will find many magical and practical technologies that may benefit you greatly... As a thank you for saving my life, are you satisfied, Mr. Shafik?" "

Why did you add the prophecy function to your container?" Baron felt much more at ease after listening to Professor Baker's words, and then asked curiously.

"It is for disguise. When people find that it has its own use, they generally don't think about whether there is a wizard's consciousness hidden inside." Professor Baker answered casually, and then a look of entanglement and hesitation appeared on his face.

"Mr. Ken's gift... Mr. Ken, you are a Hufflepuff student, right? Then I think you are qualified to accept it..."

As he spoke, he slowly took out the from the bag: it was a huge book as thick as a dictionary and as big as a magazine, which was now tightly locked with a pure black cover and buckle made of unknown material.

"Mr. Ken, can you drop a drop of blood on this book? I need to bind this book to you to ensure that only you can see the contents above."

Avada was stunned, then he conjured up a needle and pricked his arm, squeezing out a drop of blood and smearing it on the cover of the book - he couldn't prick his fingertips because it would hurt.

 "Okay."

Professor Baker pushed the giant book to Avada and stared into his eyes seriously: "The knowledge in it may very well touch the deepest and most essential mysteries of this world. It is extremely profound and fascinating, but if you lose caution and awe in the process of exploration, you may also bear an unknown price..."

"I can probably sense that you have a big secret - don't be surprised, I have suspected it since you determined that my container was a black magic item, and what happened later further proved my guess... and I also believe that your character is enough for you to master the knowledge above. So I decided to give it to you as a thank you for saving my life. Take it, don't refuse, if you think it is too precious, then use the knowledge in it to do something that matches your value."

"And in order to avoid possible risks, I also put a seal on this book, so that you can only open it after the sixth grade and begin to know the contents above."

 "Huh..."

Watching Avada and Baron leave the office and close the door again, Professor Baker leaned back in his chair and took a long breath.

"Super strong magical perception? Or... looking directly at the 'source'?"
