Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"But it seems that the pear fragrance will be wasted this time."

Just as the professor finished speaking, the green smoke that rose into the air began to fade rapidly and then disappeared.

The one who spoke was named Pomona.

Professor of Herbalism at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They are responsible for teaching senior students how to care for magical plants and cultivate other magical fungi.

This person is also the headmaster of Hufflepuff School.

The dean of this branch was not famous; in fact, he was an inconspicuous figure in the entire school.

Because he often worked in greenhouses, this short-statured director was often covered in mud.

His already disheveled appearance was further marred by a gray hat covered in patches.

If it weren't for this person standing on the podium, Li Xiao might not have recognized him.

Unsurprisingly, this professor's practical skills may not be particularly strong, but his research abilities are unparalleled.

Professor Pomona stepped down from the podium.

Seeing that there was nothing else unusual around him, Neos, an exchange student, nodded and returned to his desk, picking up another ghost pear tree to begin transplanting.

However, this person glanced subtly in the direction of Li Xiao.

Because in the entire classroom, apart from twenty or thirty upperclassmen, there were only the two of them as exchange students.

Neos was clearly aware that he had inadvertently revealed something.

The two looked at each other.

Li smiled and nodded.

Then continue with the operation at hand.

This captain's enhancement is "Battle Aura".

It is an entity whose overall attributes are inferior to True Yuan Power but superior to Internal Force.

If Li Xiao remembered correctly, this kind of enhancement, Battle Qi, is extremely powerful in terms of attack.

Battle aura is less durable than true essence, and it lacks the ability to heal and restore bodily injuries.

However, the instantaneous explosive power and destructive force of this energy are much stronger than that of true essence.

In a sense, strengthening one's fighting spirit to a certain extent is equivalent to a weakened version of the explosive state.

Of course, to reach the same level of strength as Zheng Zha, Neos's battle aura enhancement would need to be at a certain level.

It needs to be at least A-grade enhancement.

However, Li Xiao sensed that the opponent should also be of similar strength, since not every team is like the Zhongzhou team.

There is a selfless and dedicated "good" captain.

Especially someone like Zheng Zha, Li Xiao dares to say, is unique in the Main God Space.

"puff!"

Another sound.

Li Xiao and Neos then saw another cloud of green smoke appear in front of another student.

However, the student took a deep breath as instructed by the professor and inhaled all the green smoke.

He tilted his head and fell over.

Professor Sprout spoke solemnly from the podium.

“Magical plants are different from the wands in your hands; sometimes they don’t obey.”

"The classmate next to him, ignore that idiot and let him keep sleeping."

"I said before the transplant that the Ghost Pear is very vengeful, and if you touch it unintentionally, it will produce an edible mist fruit."

But if it was intentional touching, then this will happen. Oh, and when he wakes up later, tell this gentleman not to eat today.

Upon hearing this, the other students burst into laughter at the sight of the person who had fainted.
-
Potions class.

Upper-level courses.

Snape glanced at the exchange students in the corner before looking away.

"Today's lesson is about the reaction between potion and mineral metals."

"Everyone can look at what's on their left."

"As I mentioned before, you should all recognize this as mithril, a type of metallic mineral."

"Mr. Hill, your tongs pot is for roasting raw materials, not for using as a rice dish!"

"So, tell me what mithril is?"

The student whose name was called stood up and rubbed his hands together, saying:
"Professor Snape, I'm sorry, mithril, mithril..."

"Mithril is a valuable magical metal, the best known magical material, and it is both lightweight and strong enough."

"The market value is 120 gold coins per ounce. That's equivalent to a hundred times more than other precious metals, which are quite common..."

"Commonly found in, in!!!"

The same applies to this person who is gradually starting to stutter.

Snape's gaze slowly sharpened.

However, in the end, the older student was allowed to sit down.

"On the left is mithril, and next to mithril is a mineral metal called Elogs."

"You can pick them up and observe the differences between them."

Zheng Zha now desperately wants to store all the precious magical metals in front of his desk into his storage ring.

And let's not even talk about Zheng Zha.

Neither Gungnir nor Honda objected to the offer after Snape explained its value.

These metals are all raw materials for making magical items or cultivation items.

Putting aside everything else, the rewards exchanged in the Main God Space are worth at least several hundred, or even several thousand, reward points.

Moreover, it serves as an experimental tool for upper-level magic classes.

Although they didn't understand, they still knew the meaning of "expensive".

When the second metal came up, Snape didn't ask any more questions, but instead began his explanation.

"The naming convention for Eroges metals is simple: whoever discovers them names them."

"This metal is a rarer and more precious metal found in mithril, and it is more valuable than mithril itself."

"And the properties of this metal are particularly strange."

"Have you ever thought that some facilities in the school require magic to open and use?"

"The problem is that these facilities aren't living people or magicians, so how do they identify magic?"

"This is due to the special properties of the metal."

"It can be integrated into magical structures to help identify spells."

"In other words, if a magical device or building can recognize a specific spell, or even a spell from a specific person."

"Then there must be Erogos metal among them."

As Snape spoke, the students below the stage were all surprised.

This was because it was the first time they had ever heard of this concept.

This was the case in the Middle Ages, when there was no internet.

Such a simple piece of information can create barriers and isolate a body of knowledge.

Seeing the others having such a heated discussion, the three team leaders were deeply moved.

However, this also proves the importance of this magic academy and why, in the original work, a magic academy dared to stand up to the Ministry of Magic.

"So that's why what's in front of you isn't real Erogos metal, but just the raw ore of this metal."

"It would require a very complex process to extract it."

Upon hearing this, one of the students raised his hand and asked:

"Professor, Professor Snape."

"How much of this metal should be added?"

"A little? An ounce? Or more?" I asked the student.

Snape turned back to the podium, pointed to the blackboard behind him, and said, "Based on the difficulty of identifying the spell."

"The more stringent the conditions, the more needs to be added."

“If it’s just a magic door that anyone can open, then all you need is a tiny bit of Erogos metal.”

"Conversely, if the usage of a magical item is very strict, or even only one person is allowed to use it, then more are needed."

After Professor Snape finished speaking, the classroom erupted in an uproar.

After all, every magician has heard of some legendary magical items.

This is the kind of thing Snape was talking about.

At this moment, a student in the front row raised his hand and said:
"Is the professor's job the most complicated?"

Snape shook his head: "No, the most complicated ones are those special items that can change hands but are subject to rules and conditions."

"However, such magical items are very rare, and they are all accompanied by some kind of ominous curse after they are made."

"As for the method of change of ownership, it could be through blood or branding."

"Only after the binding is completed can one use all the abilities of this magical artifact. Otherwise, even if someone else obtains it, it's not that they can't use it at all, but they can only use some basic abilities."

Zheng Zha nodded in agreement, quietly recorded the information, and planned to share it with his teammates.

Especially Xiao Honglu, the logistics manager in the team.

However, what Zheng Zha didn't notice was...

Gunnir and Honda, standing next to him, both changed their expressions.

Zheng Zha remained unmoved because they did not possess such a thing.

But these two are different.

Snape tapped the blackboard.

"Besides these things you need to know, today's focus is on the effects of these two metals on the potion..."

Snape was clearly about to begin explaining the effects and abilities of these two metals on the potion.

However, at this moment, someone interrupted him and asked directly:
"Professor Snape, I'd like to ask, if I were to acquire one of the magical artifacts you described, is there any way to remove this property, or to re-establish a master for the artifact?"

The question was raised by the Arctic team captain, Gunnir.

Zheng Zha, who was standing next to him, was taken aback when he heard this person speak.

But he quickly figured it out.

That means this person has an item that someone else has claimed as their master, but they can't use it.

Zheng Zha immediately realized that the captain's possession was most likely obtained from other reincarnators.

Moreover, it's the kind that can be exchanged by the main god.

In Zheng Zha's understanding, only those produced by the main god possess the characteristics that Snape just mentioned.

The simplest example is that within the Zhongzhou team, there are three types of protective jade pendants alone.

One type was obtained by exchanging D-level side quests from the Main God Space, the kind given to Xiao Honglu back then.

A blood oath is required.

The second type is repaired by Xiao Honglu from other horror movies. This type does not require a binding ceremony and can be worn and used directly.

It's also something they often use for the main characters in horror movies.

The third type is the one that has recently been upgraded and is comparable to a C-level protective gear.

It also lacks the ability to recognize a master, but its defensive capabilities are greatly increased.

Zheng Zha now realizes that the latter two types, which were dealt with by Xiao Honglu, seem to lack the ability to recognize a master.

Perhaps it's because similar precious materials are scarce.

Zheng Zha thought to himself, and also looked towards the podium.

After being interrupted, Snape showed no anger whatsoever, which was unusual.

After glancing at Gunnir, who had raised the question, he coldly and directly stated:
"There is a way."

"The purpose of Elogs metal is actually to endow magical facilities with unconscious intelligence."

"This metal is a carrier of spiritual power."

"If the original owner was extremely powerful, then the spirit he left behind in the device would be even stronger, and the stronger the being, the more difficult it would be to erase."

"Of course, there is another way, and that is time."

"Everything changes with the passage of time, including the spiritual remnants within the Erogos metal."

"It only takes a long wait for them to re-establish their faith in God."

Gunnir asked again, "Are there any other ways?"

"Apart from the passage of time."

Snape replied, "Yes, but it will require some rare minerals and metals, as well as a potion to help it pass the time."

"Of course, this method also depends on the amount of spirit retained and cannot be 100% successful."

Having received the answer he wanted, Gunnir nodded with a complicated expression.

He actually wanted to ask again if he could ask her for advice after class.

But Gungnir was worried that what he brought out would change the plot.

If Snape could really help him, he would definitely ask to study the thing in his hands.

The problem is, if this person actually sees it, then the plot might really change.

Half a day later.

dorm room.

After Zheng Zha confirmed that Gunnil had not made any other moves after class.

Xiao Honglu then understood the other party's concerns.

"Change the plot?"

"Why do you say that?"

After Zheng Zha recounted the whole story,

Hsiao Hung-lu also provided the answer that Gunnir did not pursue the matter further.

Zheng Zha asked, "So, what exactly is in Gungnir's hand?"

"Could it influence Snape? Or even change the plot?"

After Zheng Zha finished asking the question, everyone on the Zhongzhou team started to use their brains.

Li Xiao pondered and said:

"First of all, these items that recognize a master come in two types: one is produced by the Main God Space, and the other is not produced by the Main God Space but is a plot item from another world."

"If it's the first type, produced by the Main God Space, he can't use it yet. It's definitely something that was stolen from other teams during a team battle."

"That's why we have it, but we can't fully use it."

"It can be changed into a worldview of a high-level native magician in a magical world."

"A magical version of a sci-fi weapon?"

"Or perhaps..."

Before Li Xiao could finish speaking, another voice beside him interrupted him.

"Is it a prop that appeared in the future of the Harry Potter world?"

Zhao Yingkong noticed that everyone was looking at her.

The girl shrugged without making a sound.

"Is it weird?"

"That's quite likely, isn't it?"

"Since the Arctic team obtained it from other teams, it shouldn't be related to the horror movies they experienced."

"I think it's highly likely that it's a certain reincarnation team because the next horror movie is one of the Harry Potter movies?"
So I directly exchanged for an existence in the Main God Space.

The goal is to survive better or more advantageously in the Harry Potter horror movies. (End of Chapter)
