Chapter 106 Return and Harvest (2nd update)

Watching Helga disappear in the dense forest, Mike wanted to chase her, but the big hole on his thigh that was still bleeding stopped him.

The wound caused by the stone thorn was not small, and Mike had fought with the middle-aged man for so long after being injured. Now Mike's consciousness has begun to blur due to excessive blood loss.

Mike's pocket of the traceless stretching spell did have drugs such as white fresh water that could treat external injuries, but unfortunately, his personal belongings did not enter the trial illusion with him, so Mike had to use extreme methods to stop the bleeding.

He found a wooden stick and put it in his mouth to bite it. Mike released a weakened version of the fire spell on his wound. Under Mike's control, a weak flame sprayed from the wand, and the flame licked Mike's wound. When the flame burned all the wounds, Mike had already fallen to the ground covered in sweat, and the wooden stick was also bitten off by him.

Mike lay on the ground and rested for a long time, until the forest fire gradually died down, and then he forced himself to walk in the direction of Helga's escape.

His injuries were very serious. If he could not receive further treatment as soon as possible, he would definitely die here. So the top priority now was to go to Raven Town as soon as possible.

However, Mike soon felt Helga's revenge. Not only did the originally gentle little animals all attack him like crazy, but even the plants were full of malice towards him, appearing at Mike's feet from time to time to trip him.

Fortunately, this forest was not big, and Mike and Helga had walked for half a day before, so Mike's magic perception had already discovered the boundary of the forest.

After working hard in the forest for a whole night, Mike finally walked out of the forest when his wounds began to inflame and he was about to run out of energy. What appeared in front of him was a beautiful farm with a windmill, and a shepherd was looking after his own cattle and sheep.

Mike staggered towards the farm, and the magic wand was silently held in his hand. After a night that seemed to be targeted by the whole world, Mike was now in urgent need of food and treatment.

In order to get them, Mike would use force.

However, when he officially set foot on the farm, everything around him began to become blurred. At first, Mike thought he couldn't hold on and was going to faint, but he soon realized that this should mean the end of the trial.

The wound on Mike's leg healed quickly, and his tattered clothes were restored to their original state. The long-lost refreshing feeling made Mike moan comfortably.

But this feeling of comfort did not last long, and a sharp pain came from his brain. A memory that did not belong to Mike appeared in Mike's mind, and even the brain occlusion technique could not stop it.

In the severe pain, Mike saw the memory of Ms. Ravenclaw: his hometown was attacked by goblins, his mother died in front of him, and he and Helga worked together to repel the little goblin, and fled into the forest with Helga.

The first half of the memory was exactly the same as what Mike had experienced, but things began to change when the two entered the forest.

When they met the middle-aged wizard, they did not attack, but turned and ran away. However, the two little girls could not run faster than the middle-aged wizard, and were soon caught back.

But the wizard turned out to be a good man. He not only brought the two to Raventown, but also adopted them, raised them, and even invited other wizards to join him in destroying the goblins that destroyed Ravenclaw's hometown.

However, two years later, when Ravenclaw was 13 years old, the town called Raventown was attacked by a group of nightmare ravens. Except for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff who escaped because they went into the forest to collect herbs, the entire town, including the middle-aged wizard, died.

After reading the memory, Mike smiled bitterly and shook his head. No wonder the first trial was so difficult. He was also surprised that even someone as powerful as himself almost died in it. How did those witches pass the first trial and the more difficult second trial? It turned out that he only needed to follow the middle-aged wizard.

By the time Mike recovered from the severe pain, he had returned to the Ravenclaw common room. The moon outside the window was still hanging in the night sky. Mike glanced at the hourglass next to him and found that the one day and two nights he spent in the trial only took one hour in real time.

Without too much surprise, Mike began to check his physical condition and belongings.

Mike was immediately delighted by this check. Of course, his belongings were not less, but his magic power increased a lot, and his mental strength also improved. Although the specific value still needs to be tested in detail in the Room of Requirement, Mike conservatively estimated that the increase should be more than 10%.

Although it is only more than 10%, Mike's current magic level is comparable to that of an average adult wizard, so this 10% increase is already a big increase after multiplication. At least if there is no adventure, Mike will need 3 years to do it.

And these are not the most important things. What makes Mike most happy is that the spell that the middle-aged wizard used to hurt him before also appeared in his mind.

Earth Spike

Spell: Stone Spear Appears.

How to wave the wand: First this, then that, and finally this.

Note: Using this spell requires strong mental strength as support, otherwise it will not be able to attack accurately and cause magic backlash.

This spell should be a modified version that has been improved by Ravenclaw. When releasing the original spell, it should be like the middle-aged wizard who needs to insert the wand into the ground to let the magic flow smoothly into the ground, but the modified version only needs to chant and wave the wand.

Think about it, in the early Middle Ages, Europe was still all earthen, so people learned this spell. But now there are wooden floors and stone floors everywhere, and the wand can't be inserted into the ground at all. Mike guessed that this spell was lost for this reason.

Excited Mike took the wand directly to the Room of Requirement. He couldn't wait to experiment with the power of the earth spike.

Because it was directly instilled into his brain, Mike used the earth spike as easily as eating and drinking water, and there was no need for retraining.

"Stone spear appears! Stone spear appears!"

As Mike chanted the spell, a dummy not far away was directly pierced by a stone spike that was more than one meter high and ten centimeters thick. At the same time, a dummy next to it was also lifted up by a stone pillar that was more than one meter high and 70 centimeters thick.

The heights of the two ground spikes were similar, but their thicknesses were very different. And the tip of the thinner ground spike was obviously sharper, while the thicker one was much blunter.

Looking at the two stone spikes in front of him, Mike nodded with satisfaction.

The use of ground spikes is very flexible, and he can control the length and thickness of the ground spikes at will. And this spell has no signs before the ground spikes appear, which is very suitable for sneak attacks.

After the experiment with the ground spikes, Mike began to feel mentally exhausted.

Although his physical injuries and fatigue had all disappeared, his spirit was exhausted from the trial. He had not felt tired before because he was too excited, but now that he calmed down, he felt extremely sleepy. He

forced himself to go to the auditorium and crawled back into his sleeping bag.

Looking at the half cup of water he had drunk before, Mike couldn't help but feel like he was meeting someone after a long absence.

"It's good to be back."
