Chapter 181 I'm helping you
Mike actually knows about Willy's background.
Willy's full name is Willy Doug Hunter, and he is the heir of this generation of the Hunter family.
You can actually tell about the history and traditions of the Hunter family from their family name.
For a long time in history, the British only had names but no surnames. It was not until the 11th century that some nobles began to use the names of their fiefs to honor their patriarchs, and later it evolved into a surname after being passed down from generation to generation.
The common people saw that the nobles had surnames, so they also began to give themselves surnames, but most of them had no culture, so they could only use their professions or some things they could touch in daily life as their surnames, which is very similar to the foot basin people.
The most obvious examples are Baker (baker), Carter (carter coachman), etc.
Hunter in the Hunter family is pronounced the same as Hunter, which means hunter, that is to say, Willy's ancestors were hunters.
After becoming a wizard by chance, this ancestor did not forget his traditional skills. Instead, he applied magic to hunting and animal training. After several generations of research and improvement, the Hunt family's hunting and animal training skills became more and more perfect, which made them a well-known animal training family in the wizarding world. Almost all industries related to breeding magical animals on the market are related to them.
This includes the source of materials for the wand core, or the raw materials of the ice cream that Mike had eaten in the first grade. There are traces of the Hunt family in all of them.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Mike. After a little entanglement with Willy's intention, he soon felt relieved.
No matter whether he is stupid and rich or playing the long game, since the money is now in his hands, the matter is over. If Willy thinks that he can ask him to do something based on the favor of 10,000 gold galleons, he will be thinking too much. You must know that this is a "blocking", and Mike doesn't owe him any favors.
"Papi."
Taking the greed pendant off his neck, the pendant quickly transformed in Mike's hand and turned into the raven Papi again.
'Hey! '
Looking at the raven Papi with two small eyes rolling in front of him, Mike finally asked the question that he had been puzzled about for a long time.
"Papi, what abilities do you have? Tell me all about them."
'Listen carefully, stupid human! My power is very great. If I hadn't been dormant for too long, I would only need a feather to kill a little wizard like you! '
"Speak to the point!" Mike smiled, but veins on his head were faintly popping out.
'Okay! My abilities include dream control, virtual body, illusion control and soul damage! Dream control, as the name suggests, means that I can control other people's dreams and make them have nightmares or good dreams according to my will.
The virtual body can make me enter the fog crow state. In this state, I can be immune to physical damage and a few spells like the fire spell, but spells like the disarming spell can still cause damage to me.
Illusion control means that I can make others have serious hallucinations and lose themselves.
The last is soul damage. I can directly cause damage to the soul body, but this ability is not very harmful to creatures whose souls are still in the body. The most important thing is to kill those ghost creatures.
But because I have been dormant for too long, my strength has weakened a lot. Most of the above abilities I can only release reluctantly. '
After listening to Raven Papi's self-narration, Mike's heart was on fire.
Raven Papi's strength far exceeded Mike's expectations. If he had Raven Papi's help in the next game with Cedric, he would be almost invincible.
And Raven Papi has many small abilities that have not been mentioned yet, such as the telepathic ability used to communicate with himself, or the ability to increase the wizard's meditation effect and mental power by a small amount, etc.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Mike began to experiment with Raven Papi's abilities.
The first is the dream control experiment. When Mike fell asleep in bed, the dream that had not appeared for a long time appeared again, and it was the game with Willy that Mike had experienced today. Before Mike could react, the picture in front of him changed rapidly, and in an instant it became a beautiful scenery of mountains and clear waters.
Unlike ordinary dreams, Mike only felt that his consciousness was very clear and everything in front of him was very real. He put his hand into the clear stream and could even feel the water flowing gently through his fingertips and the coolness of the stream.
I don’t know how long it took, Mike opened his eyes and woke up.
He looked up at the alarm clock on the bedside and saw that only twenty minutes had passed since he fell asleep.
Mike was immediately surprised. He knew that although he didn't have a specific feeling of time passing in his dream just now, according to his subjective feeling, he should have spent at least two hours in his dream, but now...
"Can you control the speed of time in the dream?"
'Of course I can. I can not only slow down the time of others in their dreams, but also speed it up, thus creating the effect of a dream! '
"What is a dream? Can you speak English?"
...
Let's not talk about how Papi made Mike understand the Chinese idiom "a dream". In the next few days, Mike also conducted many experiments on other abilities of Raven Papi.
Take the illusion experiment for example. After Mike experienced it personally, he was also shocked because it was too realistic.
Of course, with Raven Papi's current strength, it still can't create a large-scale illusion, and even a small illusion can't last too long, but Mike still saw the power of this ability. It is simply a perfect ability to assassinate people.
Apart from other things, Papi can create some minor illusions without any problems.
So if it uses its ability on a driver who is driving, and suddenly creates an illusion of a hideous monster in front of his car while he is driving at high speed, hehe, I think there is no need to say more about the consequences, right?
The ability of virtualization or the fog crow form is also very powerful after testing. After turning on this ability, Papi will directly turn into a very light fog, which is almost equivalent to invisibility in a dark environment.
And the ability to be immune to physical attacks is also very powerful. The only regret is that after entering this state, Papi's resistance to the disarming spell and other injury-causing spells will become extremely low. A random little wizard can seriously injure it with one shot.
As for the soul-killing ability, it was not easy to experiment. In the end, Mike could only find some mice that had not been used up last time to experiment with it.
There is no need to say much about the killing ability of Raven Papi against ghosts. Even the soul of Ms. Ravenclaw was killed by it. But the experiment on living things was not ideal. When Raven Papi tried his best, he could only barely kill a mouse, which made Mike a little disappointed.
But soon he adjusted his mentality. People are like this. When they don’t have it, they want it very much, but when they really have it, they want more. In the end, if they really can’t get it, they will carry forward the Ah Q spirit to comfort themselves.
Anyway, with the current strength of Raven Papi, it is almost certain that he can help himself win the championship of the duel competition.
This is how Mike comforted himself, and after some self-consolation, Mike felt much better.
However, it turns out that this way of self-consolation is not good, because at this time, reality often slaps you hard.
…
"What! You said that all props, potions and pets except wands cannot be used in this game?"
Mike was shouting at a male staff member in the players' lounge below the circular arena.
Facing Mike's roar, the staff member looked innocent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Townley. This is an order issued by Mr. Lockhart himself. Both players in this competition need to undergo body searches and physical examinations before the game to ensure that the game is absolutely fair!"
"I don't accept it. Call Lockhart here! I want to argue with him in person!"
The staff member couldn't get over Mike, so he ran out of the lounge in shame and came back with Lockhart a while later.
After asking everyone else in the lounge to leave, Lockhart slowly said, "Mike, what's wrong? Why don't you let them search you?"
"Mr. Lockhart! I'm curious about how your brain works and why you suddenly changed the rules!" Mike said word by word.
"Mike, listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I?" Lockhart said earnestly, "Look at your last match with Willy, he used so many props at once, although you still won in the end, didn't his potions and familiars still cause you a lot of trouble?
And this time your opponent Cedric is much stronger than Willy, and he is also from a wealthy pure-blood family. Who knows, after being inspired by Willy, he might choose to use money to attack you?
You are different from them, you are born a Muggle, you definitely can't get things like Felixir and familiars..."
Before Lockhart finished speaking, he saw Mike had taken out a teardrop-shaped glass container from the Traceless Extension Spell Bag, and inside it was the Felixir that was shining with a faint golden light.
Suddenly, the expression on Lockhart's face became very interesting, and his mouth opened wide and he couldn't say anything.
"Sorry, Mike, I didn't expect you to be a hidden millionaire." Lockhart took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face, and said with some stammering, "But now the rules have been announced, so, so can you please give me some face...
You know, I have invited Mr. Ludo Bagman, the Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Physical Education, to come and commentate with me in this final. If you use this matter today, I will not only be embarrassed, but what will Mr. Bagman think of me? God, he will think I am a useless waste! My career will be completely ruined.
Anyway, you are so strong, it doesn't matter whether you use these props or not, so... please!"
At the end of the speech, Lockhart was already in tears, hugging Mike's waist, as if he would not let go unless Mike agreed.
Mike tried to pull him away several times but failed, and finally had no choice but to agree to his request.
"Okay, I'll give you a favor this time." Mike said, "But you have to remember that you owe me a favor!"
"No problem! No problem!"
Hearing this, Lockhart got up from the ground in an instant, wiped his cheek with a handkerchief, and then recovered his previous energetic look, without any trace of crying when he hugged Mike just now.
Facing Lockhart's completely nonchalant look, Mike's mouth corners slightly raised, thinking to himself: "Wait, my favor is not so easy to repay, sooner or later you will cry."
Lockhart adjusted his dress until there was no difference from when he came in, and then walked out of Mike's player lounge with his head held high. After a while, several male staff members came to Mike again and began to check Mike. I don't know why Lockhart suddenly became so strict.
Mike just felt that these staff members who checked him were a little too serious. He checked his whole body three times in a row and didn't give up, and he was going to do it for the fourth time.
Although he was still a little unhappy, since he had promised Lockhart, Mike had to cooperate with the staff to continue the inspection.
Of course, their inspection method is not the traditional hand search. As wizards, they have a better method, that is, the detection spell.
After the fourth detection spell, the inspection of Mike was finally completed.
At this moment, Mike had nothing else on him except his wand and clothes. Not only the traceless stretching spell bag, but also the greed pendant hanging on Mike's neck and the combat magic set on his arm were all put away.
Fortunately, the staff did not care about the "combat uniform" that Mike was wearing without any magic fluctuations. Perhaps it was because they simply regarded it as a set of strange Muggle clothes.
In fact, this "combat uniform" was an important equipment that Mike carefully prepared. The prototype of this combat uniform was actually the US Army combat uniform in Mike's memory. The top and pants were composed of light yellow desert camouflage, and the shoes were regular army combat boots.
This set of clothes took Mike a lot of thought. He originally planned to buy a set directly, but he didn't expect that the US Army's current ACU combat uniforms were not yet popular, and ordinary people couldn't get them at all. Moreover, even if Mike could get it, there was no size suitable for Mike, after all, it was specially prepared for adults.
Fortunately, Madam Malkin, who specialized in selling robes in Diagon Alley, had superb craftsmanship. With the rough design drawn by Mike, it only took half a day to make the combat uniform Mike needed. Although no special fabric was used, under Madam Malkin's spell, the defensive ability of this combat uniform was no worse than the original one!
When Mike got the combat uniform, he couldn't help but sigh, magic farming, there is a lot of potential!
