Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet?
Lucien quickly scanned the loan information.
Loan: Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet (Weekly Loan)
Repayment Period: 7 Days
Loan Content: Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet, can transform into any non-magic creature, is a conscious living being, can adjust the strength of its consciousness, and only needs regular nutritional supplements to survive.
Loan Task: Directly defeat a Troll.
Transform into a creature?
Possesses consciousness, and can even adjust the strength of its consciousness?
It can be used to practice Transfiguration, transforming living things into dead things, and living things into living things.
This was Lucien's first thought about the Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet.
When Transfiguration is used to change a living creature, the Wizard needs to suppress the original creature's consciousness.
Plants have almost no consciousness, animals have relatively active consciousness, humans have stronger consciousness, and Wizards who can use magic to resist are the most difficult.
Hmm, if it's purely for practice, the Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet's description seems sufficient.
And it only needs regular nutritional supplements to survive, and can transform into any non-magic creature, which is very practical.
He had already repaid the loan for the chimera handbook, and had completely mastered the section on transforming dead things into living things.
With the assistance of the chimera handbook, which contains information on many creatures, combined with the cooperative practice of the Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet,
He estimated that he would quickly complete the learning and application of transforming living things into dead things and living things into living things.
Then he could try Animagus.
Also, this loan task... directly defeat a Troll?
The timing of the loan trigger was also when Quirrell announced the Troll invasion.
Too much of a coincidence.
Hmm, but defeating a Troll isn't difficult.
And this reward is also good, it can also help him save time finding different creatures to practice Transfiguration.
Lucien communicated with the system and took out the Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet loan.
Ding, loan application successful, item has been issued to system space, can be checked at any time.
Evaluation: This is a very serious puppet, don't get the wrong idea (・ε・｀)
PS: For the host's healthy growth, certain transformations of the Shapeshifting Flesh Puppet have been prohibited, and will be unlocked upon reaching 18 years old.
Seeing the system's description, Lucien's face darkened.
What the heck, he hadn't even thought of that, the system seemed a bit too advanced.
"Quiet!"
Dumbledore amplified his voice with his wand, letting his booming voice echo through the Great Hall.
"Prefects, immediately take the students from each house back to their dormitories!"
With the greatest Wizard of the century as their backbone, the students' panic was quickly suppressed, and the Prefects also organized the students to evacuate in an orderly manner.
The first-year Young Wizards from the four houses were led away first.
Lucien deliberately followed beside the group, leaving the Great Hall.
When they passed through a relatively dim corridor.
Lucien, who had completely entered a section of shadow, flicked his wand in his sleeve, and a silently cast Disillusionment Charm enveloped him.
Immediately after, Lucien turned directly into a side corridor.
Little Troll, where are you?
For the loan, you'll have to suffer a bit first.
This move was too fast and natural, coupled with the panic caused by the Troll invasion.
The Young Wizards around Lucien didn't notice his departure, only thinking he had fallen behind the group.
But someone was still paying attention to Lucien.
"Ron, Lucien seems to be gone."
Harry nudged Ron, whispering quickly.
"Gone? Are you mistaken?"
Ron quickly scanned the Ravenclaw team; because there were the fewest people in Ravenclaw, he quickly saw the team clearly, and Lucien was indeed not there!
"Where did he go! There's a Troll in the Castle right now!"
"We have to find Lucien!"
Harry and Ron quickly reached a consensus; they couldn't let their friend be harmed by the Troll.
The two slowly fell behind the team, looking for an opportunity to also leave the main group.
However, before they had walked a few steps, an urgent voice called out to them,
"You're going the wrong way, not that direction!"
Harry and Ron instinctively flinched, turning to see a Little Witch with bushy hair.
"Hermione? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, never mind that, Lucien disappeared up the last side corridor, follow me this way!"
Under Hermione's lead, the three Young Wizards weaved through the corridors.
A few seconds later, a Little Wizard with mushroom slices stuck to his head also arrived.
"Heh heh, Lucien, are you going to do something against the rules? It seems I won't have to wait until tomorrow, I can get you kicked out of Hogwarts tonight."
Malfoy wiped his greasy hair, shaking off the creamy soup and mushroom slices from his hand, muttering resentfully.
When he noticed Lucien had disappeared, he followed him as if possessed.
But upon closer thought, Malfoy felt he might be able to catch him doing something wrong, directly saving him the trouble of dueling Lucien.
Malfoy had just left when another figure stealthily followed... Lucien walked through the Castle.
Hmm, if I look in the direction of the girls' bathroom, I should be able to find it.
However, if there's a change and I don't encounter the Troll today, I can go to the Forbidden Forest... Suddenly, an extremely foul odor drilled into Lucien's nostrils.
The smell was like a mix of stinky socks and a public restroom, the kind that's never cleaned.
Ugh—
Lucien almost threw up, but thankfully he quickly cast a filtering charm on himself, blocking the stench.
Phew, this smell, it must be the Troll.
It seems it's not far now.
"Little loan, where are you, I'm coming."
A minute or two later.
The three Young Wizards ran, panting.
"Ugh!"
Gagging sounds rang out in unison.
"It's, it's a Troll, it's nearby, be careful, be careful."
Hermione immediately recognized it as the scent of a Troll described in books.
It was indeed nauseating.
"Let's go quickly!"
Harry covered his nose, urging Ron and Hermione to keep looking.
After turning a few corners, the three came to a long corridor.
A low grumbling sound came from the other end.
The three Young Wizards' breathing hitched as they saw the behemoth at the end.
The monster was almost twelve feet tall, with dull, gray, granite-like skin.
Its legs were thick and short, and its two large feet were flat and rough.
Compared to its huge body, its head was pitifully small.
The strong odor on it seeped through the gaps in the three's fingers and into their nostrils, making them feel dizzy with nausea.
The monster was dragging a thick wooden club in its hand.
"Troll!"
Compared to the Troll's exaggerated size, the young man closer to this end of the corridor appeared much smaller.
"Lucien!"
Harry and the other two immediately recognized the young man.
The terror of the Troll made the three children tremble uncontrollably, and for a moment, they didn't dare to step forward.
Thump!
Someone took half a step forward first.
It was Ron.
He drew his wand; he wouldn't stand by and watch his good friend get hurt.
Ron made his move, and Harry and Hermione were not slow either, also grabbing their wands and running towards Lucien.
True Gryffindors never lack courage!
"We, we run!"
Hearing this, Lucien turned his head and saw Ron, who was running towards him, trembling with fear.
Although he was saying cowardly things, Ron still held his wand, aiming at the slowly approaching Troll.
Lucien's peripheral vision caught Harry and Hermione behind him, as well as... two somewhat familiar figures sneaking one after another behind a stone pillar.
Heh heh, it's quite lively tonight.
There are indeed many people.
Lucien reached out and pressed Ron's trembling shoulder, his tone calm and reassuring,
"It's okay, I'll just give you a preview lesson for the future."
He raised his other hand, his sleeve gently sliding down, revealing his silver-black wand.
"The topic is:"
"How Wizards fight."
