Chapter 21 Letter of Appointment and Curse

“dang dang dang!”

With The rhythmic percussion made William wake up from his deep sleep, he rubbed his face, and when he was about to curse, he suddenly remembered that he was already not in Azkaban - it was no longer necessary to swear to integrate into the group.

Drowsy, William walked to the source of the sound.

It was a large brown owl, standing outside the window at the moment, rhythmically tapping the window with its hard beak.

Seeing William wake up, the visitor stopped his movements, spread his wings, and made a gu gu huh sound.

When the window was opened, this huge guy who was almost unrecognizable as an owl flew in, stopped on the table, and spontaneously searched the debris on the table.

A short while later, a small tin box was turned out and opened—with a small portion of owl food inside.

Because there are almost as many owls as there are wizards, every hotel will keep a small box in the room for spares, but this one is obviously a bit familiar.

Without waiting for William to say hello, it ate each minding their own business, and moved towards William and stretched out its legs.

A pale-yellow letter was tied to it. William unwrapped the letter. He wanted to say something by the way, but the process seemed to be interrupted by a visitor.

So he had to unfold the envelope.

His address was written in emerald green ink, and on the back of the letter, the wax seal was intact, and a crest showed who it was from.

Next to the capital H, there are four animal logos in a circle - the Hogwarts crest.

It should be a letter of appointment, but it belongs to the kind without any collection value.

William thought to himself.

At this moment, apart from lunatics, there are probably not many people who are willing to receive this appointment letter, otherwise how could Hogwarts go to Azkaban to find him?
The wax seal was opened a few times, and several parchments were pulled out of the letter by William.

The first page is the letter.

Dear Mr. Lee William;

We are pleased to inform you that your application for employment has been approved by Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. (Did I really write that stuff?)
Your letter of appointment and a series of expenses such as entry clothing allowance, housing allowance, living allowance, and transportation allowance have been attached.

The new semester is scheduled for September 1st. You need to declare the textbook requirements and course arrangement application for the new school year one month in advance, and submit a report to the school on the classroom and course funds for the new school year.

We will notify students to purchase textbooks for the new school year in the form of re-issued letters. If there are other missing items, you can go to the Department Headmistress office every Monday or Wednesday before August 1st for consultation.

Deputy Headmistress (female) Minerva · McGonagall

On the second page of the letter is William's letter of appointment.

Compared to muggle world's letter of appointment and nothing unusual, the only thing William cares about is his position - on paper, wizard self-defense magic learns how this line of words is wrong.

Although the letter of appointment stated that it was for life, William felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to receive the salary for the second year.

Then there are miscellaneous things - the list of textbooks used by past professors, the syllabus of the Ministry of Magic, the scope of the OWL and NEWT exams, the precautions for employment, the recommended clothing list, etc. Nothing to worry about for now.

At the end of the letter, there is a lot of money - I don't know if it means life-saving money.

300 Galleons, this is just a prepaid thing, the salary is not mentioned in the letter, it is most likely to go to the school for an interview.

Anyway, as a professor, he only has the option of going to Hogwarts or going overseas. If he dares to strike, the Ministry of Magic will directly issue his arrest warrant.

'Is it so easy to be a professor? Anyway, some ceremony feeling. '

William grumbled as he read the letter in front of him, but the guy who had finished eating a box of owl rations came over and began to nibble his fingers.

"What's the matter? Not enough food?"

William asked with a smile, but the owl quickly picked up the appointment letter again.

He glanced subconsciously again, only to realize that the letter of appointment was two tightly folded parchments, and there was a place for signature among the seals of Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts at the bottom.

"Send it back? Okay."

William picked up the quill on the table and signed his name generously.

Wrapping a copy of the letter of appointment in the envelope on the table, he tied the letter to the owl's feet and watched the visitor spread his wings and move towards the sky.

[You are cursed, get a new treasure chest. ]

? ? ?

William was stunned - why was he cursed all at once?

Can this broken system come up with a manual? Why does it come up with a new function from time to time?

I hope this time the card is more powerful, it is best to come up with one that directly eliminates the curse.

With this expectation, William directly clicked on the treasure chest.

On the purple wooden box, a huge eye suddenly opened, and then a purple mist flowed out of the eye, condensing into three purple cards in midair.

【Curse (Bone Necrosis) is paralyzed; you are cursed by an evil and powerful enemy, and as the curser's mana is restored, you will encounter accident after accident, which will not It will directly take your life, but you will eventually lose the ability to control your body.

Duration: Permanent until the applicator dies. ]

【The curse (gangrene) loses your heart; you are cursed by an evil and powerful enemy, and as the curser's mana is restored, you will encounter accident after accident, these Accidents won't directly take your life, but you will eventually lose all your memories.

Duration: Permanent until the applicator dies. ]

[The curse (gangrene) perishes; you are cursed by an evil and powerful enemy, and as the curser's mana is restored, you will encounter accident after accident, accident after accident It won't take your life the first time, but you'll fall under the curse eventually.

Duration: Permanent until the applicator dies. ]

The problem of choosing one of three, now before William is the plate knife noodles and wonton noodles.

In other words, it's shit-flavored curry or curry-flavored shit.

The last card is a choice that can be ignored directly - after struggling for a long time, William chose the first option with grief and anger.

He opened the warehouse for the first time to see the information of this kind of card, looking forward to whether he could get more information from the system.

Things have already happened - if he had known in advance, he would rather serve his one-year sentence in Azkaban in an orderly manner, but now that he has lost the bet, he can only find a way to remedy it.

It is useless to blame the gods and accuse others, and this is where it is crucial to reduce the loss.

Bone gangrene: extremely difficult to rule out, takes effect once a year, and is almost impossible to escape.

It's that simple, no more.

Extremely difficult and almost impossible—obviously the latter is more terrifying, but the former is extremely difficult, that is, Dumbledore, the first white wizard, cannot get rid of it in ten years.

That leaves only one option. Find ways to escape the dead end of the first year, and minimize your losses if you can't—like lame a leg.

Then try to kill that Voldemort in the shortest time possible before being paralyzed!
