Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 141...Life-locking?
Hit by "Expelliarmus", the wand jumped out of Hermione's hand with a "swish" sound, and fell into Quirrell's open palm along a parabola.

After trying it, Quirrell found that this vine wood wand was not even as obedient as his original one.

"The core of the wand must be made of unicorn tail hair." Quirrell cursed secretly, then threw it aside.

However, this small setback did not disappoint him. In fact, he was extremely happy now, and it had some influence from Voldemort.

After using the "Avada Kedavra" to get rid of the strange "Alchemy Guard" guarding the Philosopher's Stone, Snape suddenly appeared, which really shocked both Quirrell and Voldemort.

Voldemort, who was parasitic on Quirrell, even thought that Snape had completely fallen to Dumbledore, and that the White Devil was about to appear on the spot.

But who would have thought that just when Voldemort was considering whether to implement a wave of "break down and sell out" tactics, several young wizards who had been scolded by Quirrell as "pig teammates" would deliver a wonderful shot in time. of assists.

The little mudblood witch actually performed a beautiful "Petrify All" move, and even managed to hit Snape.

"It's already this time, and Dumbledore hasn't shown up yet, which means he hasn't returned to Hogwarts yet..."

Thinking of this, the corners of Quirrell's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and the face behind his head also matched this expression.

"...Who else can stop me? Nick Flamel's magic stone is now mine!

This is what I said.

It won't work even if Merlin comes! "
-
"Merlin's beard."

Nick Flamel shook his head, let out a sigh, frowned and looked at his old friend beside him.

"Dumbledore, now... aren't you ready to do something?"

The two old men were sitting in a living room-like room, with a double-sided mirror that had been transformed by alchemy in front of them.

This room is located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, but it is not Dumbledore's principal's room, but it was created using the Room of Requirement furniture.

In addition to two chairs and a two-way mirror, this room also has a cabinet with a large number of hollow carvings on the surface.

It is one of a set of vanishing cabinets. Another vanishing cabinet is hidden in the room at the last level.

They are also the reason why the two old men can sit here like an old man.

If something unexpected happens, they can also get into this cabinet and then instantly get out of the cabinet hidden in the room at the last level.

According to Nick Flamel, it's time to get into the closet.

However, Dumbledore shook his head.

"Harry's adventure isn't over yet, and there's a lesson they haven't learned yet.

They need to learn to distinguish good from bad by observing what a person does, rather than being used to looking at others with biased eyes. "

"But, the dark wizard named 'Qi Luo' has already cast the Unforgivable Curse and destroyed that strange alchemy golem, so don't worry..."

"Are you sure he really destroyed the alchemy golem?" Dumbledore took off his half-moon-shaped reading glasses and put them back into his pocket.

"Of course I'm sure!" Nick Flamel said doubtfully: "Even a new alchemist knows that as long as the virtual soul is damaged, the alchemy items will immediately lose their effect."

But Dumbledore shook his head again, and pointed to the corner of the double-sided mirror.

This mirror is divided into two areas, showing different scenes in the two rooms.

In another room different from Harry's group, the other three little wizards - the twins Bourne and Weasley - were also busy with something.

"This little guy named 'Bourne', until now, has not given up control of the strange alchemical golem he created.

I remember, Nikolai, you also saw how this little wizard behaved after he turned into 'Magus'.

Bourne in that state was definitely a true Gryffindor, and it was almost impossible to get him to stop fighting.

But you see, he is not standing in front of the Mirror of Erised in a hurry like the two little wizards of the Weasley family. "

Nick Flamel looked at the two-way mirror and found that the situation was exactly as Dumbledore said.

The little wizard who almost cut off the head of a hornet dragon in front of him was actually still competing with the alchemy altar he left in that room.

"The Killing Curse can indeed destroy the virtual soul created by alchemy. The little wizard of the Slughorn family should have felt that he can no longer communicate with that strange alchemical golem, right? Unless …”
-
"The machine soul of the knight's mecha can actually withstand a life-killing curse!"

Byrne was surprised by what he found.

Just now, when Quirrell raised his hand and shot the green lightning at the Knight Errant, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, thinking something bad was going to happen.

The Knight Errant's throne room exploded, and the entire mecha stopped working, which seemed to confirm his bad guess.

However, when he was about to give up the remote control of the mecha and quickly find a passage - his intuition told him that Dumbledore must have built a secret passage between them and Harry's room - to save people, the Knight Errant gradually disappeared. However, the machine soul seemed to have bottomed out and suddenly became filled with extreme anger.

It's alive again!

To be precise, they came back to life.

Because, unless it is the kind of mecha that has just been created, there will never be only one personality in the mecha soul of the knight mecha!
When controlling a mecha, the knight pilot needs to use nerve bundles to be closely integrated with the throne room, and their souls will inevitably leave their own mark on the inside of the machine soul.

In addition to technical training for newly selected knight pilots, the most important test before sitting in the throne room is a "qualification ceremony."

If he or she cannot get along well with the souls of those old-timers, then it is basically impossible to become the pilot of this mecha.

On the other hand, knight pilots who can get along well with machine spirits will perfectly inherit the valuable combat experience gained by their predecessors through their lives.

In fact, except for the special combat vehicle "Dreadnought Mecha", other types of mechas also have similar characteristics to the knight mechas.

Even Titans like mechanical giants, their machine souls are so powerful and violent that no single human individual can be "qualified".

Therefore, each Titan mecha is equipped with at least three pilots - for Titan mechas, there may not be such a thing as being "controlled" at all - the driver's role in combat is to use his or her own Soul to persuade the Titan's machine soul not to make some overly fanatical and destructive actions (such as firing at friendly forces that are in the way). In fact, the reason why Titan pilots died in battle the most was not due to enemy attacks, but because their souls could not withstand the violent will that the Titan machine soul instantly poured out, so they died suddenly and violently.

Although the knights cannot compete with the Titans, the souls of past pilots blended into their machine souls are definitely not just one or two.

Just like the knight errant created by Bourne using his transformation technique, before it became the "Blade of Freedom", it had actually been passed down in a knight family for dozens of generations.

In other words, it was recreated from the image of a clay doll into an alchemy golem, and its virtual soul actually contains the souls of dozens of generations of machine knights!
Therefore, although Quirrell's "Avada Kedavra" did cause damage to it, the knight's machine soul was not completely destroyed.

"I will give you some encouragement." Feeling a sense of weakness from the machine soul's remote feedback, Bourne felt that he needed to do this.

He pointed his wand at the earthen puppet on the alchemy altar and recited the incantation of transfiguration, adding "a little bit" of modifications to it.

Two parchment strips, stamped with red wax and black wax respectively, instantly appeared on the front of the Knight Errant machine. One was hung in front of the throne room, and the other was hung on the barrel of its melt cannon.

The black wax-sealed parchment reads: "Brother's Melta Cannon never overheats in blooming flames!"

On the red wax-sealed parchment, there is written a battle prayer that is very familiar to the Astartes: "Candle the emperor's will, destroy the monsters in the hole!"

Bourne granted this Knight Errant the Mark of Purity! And it was granted two words of divine blessing at once!

Just like the sentence "If you don't go ashore this year, you will fight World War II next year" when said by graduate students and art students, the feelings it brings to the audience are completely unacceptable.

The same words spoken by different people have completely different effects.

If an ordinary wizard said this to this alchemy golem with the soul of a knight errant, its most friendly attitude would be to be too lazy to talk to those humans; but at this time, the person who granted it the blessing of the mark of purity was Bourne, a man with A psychic warrior of Astartes, a man commanded by the Golden Throne...

The machine soul of the knight errant suddenly boiled, and it conveyed its feelings to Bourne with a voice similar to that of Huang Zhongdalu.

"The glory of the Emperor is my mission."

The already damaged throne cabin "crunched" and deformed, and a metal frame was ripped out to protect the red wax seal of purity.

Inside the turret of the hot-melt cannon, some organic solvent used to protect the internal mechanical structure leaked out, setting the shape of the pure imprint of the black wax seal.

"For the Emperor!" the knight errant's machine spirit roared, and the engine that had stopped running suddenly started running again.

Its mechanical arm swung violently.

The Thunder Iron Fist that had already flown out actually flew up on the spot under the pull of the tail chain, streaking through the air in a trajectory that was difficult to explain through force analysis. The giant claws that opened suddenly caught the person. Quirrell himself is very proud.

"Weak ants!"

The iron chain pulled the Thunder Iron Fist back to its original position, pulling Quirrell, who was like a bean sprout compared to the Knight mecha, back to the front of the mecha.

It raised the melt cannon and performed a flame barbecue show at Quirrell at close range.

"Professor Quirrell..."

Seeing this scene, Ron was so frightened that he swallowed and couldn't say the rest.

"How many of you!"

With a sigh, Scamander, who had been hiding himself with the Disillusionment Charm and holding the Curly-Winged Demonic Insect Cocoon in his hand, was ready to shock Quirrell with some magical creatures.

The situation had changed, and he was going to remove the petrification spell from Snape first.

"Do not bother me."

Just when he raised his wand and was about to cast a spell, Snape's stiff body suddenly shook violently, and came back to life with a series of "clicking" sounds like breaking stones.

Although the little witch Hermione was very talented, she was just a little wizard after all. It didn't take long for Snape to use his own will to cast a spell silently and without a wand, eliminating the negative effect of "all petrified".

After regaining his freedom, he glared at Hermione fiercely, making the little girl turn pale with fright. However, he didn't say much, but quickly poured the tube of liquefied Patronus Charm he still held in his hand. Leigh Porter's mouth.

"Harry..."

Ron also wanted to stop Snape, but was held back by Scamander.

"Professor Snape gave him the liquefied Patronus Curse potion, which is a panacea specially designed to combat dark magic creatures and dark magic curses."

Scamander explained.

"Also, haven't you seen it yet? That Quirrell is the real bad guy! The spell he just cast was the Unforgivable Curse!"

"What?"×2
Ron and Hermione were startled when they heard the words "Unforgivable Curse". They were just two children. Although they had heard the names of the three evil spells, they had never really seen what they looked like.

However, what Professor Scamander said did not provoke a fierce rebuttal from Hermione and Ron.

Firstly, this is because this professor who once served as a substitute teacher at Hogwarts (although the first-year wizard did not take his class) has a better reputation and popularity than Snape.

Secondly, Harry woke up quickly after drinking the potion, which proved that what Snape fed him was not poison.

The third reason is that Quirrell did use the "Disarming Curse" to take away Hermione's wand just now, and no matter how hard they couldn't hold it clearly, they could always tell that something was wrong.

"You two," Snape said after seeing Harry Potter wake up, "take this stupid Potter now, immediately, immediately, follow Professor Scamander and leave here to find McGonagall. Professor receives punishment!”

After saying that, without waiting for the little wizard's reaction, Snape turned his wrist.

He assumed a posture similar to throwing a discus, and used an "Expelliarmus" towards Quirrell, who was undergoing the "high temperature sterilization treatment" of the knight mecha.

Because Snape discovered that although he was restrained by the strange-looking alchemical golem "The Ruthless Iron Hand", Quirrell did not completely lose his ability to resist. He was still using his wand to cast "Armor Protection" while building a fire-protecting barrier around himself, and it seemed that he still had enough energy left to prepare to cast another spell on the Ranger mecha.

　The setting of this mecha resisting Avada Kedavra is very interesting.
