Chapter 11 Mountain Demon (Minimum X1)

Chapter 1 After Seeing Fang Senyan's Stats

After seeing Fang Senyan's stats, Crowbar stared for a while, a hint of "as expected" disdain showing in his eyes. However, he concealed it very well; you wouldn't notice unless you were paying close attention. His face was still full of an enthusiastic smile as he nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Welcome to fight alongside the Symbiosis Society."

Then, he signed the temporary contract with Fang Senyan. To show his sincerity, Crowbar, knowing that Fang Senyan was currently short on Universal Points, even offered to pay the 1,000 Universal Points required to sign the contract.

After signing the temporary contract, Crowbar seemed to know everything and said everything, providing Fang Senyan with a lot of useful information, because he was definitely not as confident as he seemed on the surface. Although the Symbiosis Society had a large number of members, they were always suppressed by the Banks Gang, and there was a reason for it. If the setup laid out by the Banks Gang's Boss was so easy to break, why would Crowbar painstakingly try to persuade Fang Senyan and Darth to join? The implication was self-evident. In Crowbar's mind, Darth's position was as a firepower specialist, the main damage dealer (DPS), while Fang Senyan, this guy who seemed irritable and prone to impulsiveness, also had a very important position: cannon fodder.

****************

It was already 9:30 in the evening. All the contractors gathered in a wooden house. After much consideration, Darth also joined the group. However, Fang Senyan estimated that the temporary contract he signed with Crowbar was vastly different from his own. The Symbiosis Society probably had to spend a sum of Universal Points to pay him. But it was clear that almost everyone in the Symbiosis Society would focus their main energy and attention on Darth! Therefore, Fang Senyan standing next to Darth was like an assassin bathed in darkness, adding a sense of security... This was also the goal Fang Senyan had been trying to achieve.

"Our target for this operation is a very ferocious monster, and a creature unique to the Harry Potter magical world, called a troll. Its danger level can be seen from the fact that this guy is called a legendary creature. I don't need to waste my breath or everyone's time."

Crowbar's face was now serious. As he spoke, the Nightmare Imprint on his chest emitted a beam of light that shone on the table in front of him, forming a three-dimensional miniature model of the troll, slowly rotating in place, looking lifelike.

This playback function was a new special function obtained after accumulating a certain amount of merit points and raising one's military rank. However, it seemed that using it would consume merit points, the specific number was unknown, because this was very ordinary information, and most of the people in the Symbiosis Society knew that Fang Senyan's fate was to be cannon fodder, so they told him readily.

Fang Senyan's pupils shrank slightly, but he sneered inwardly:

"A troll... So you guys are after this thing!"

Next, a series of related information began to appear above the troll's 3D model. This was transmitted by the Symbiosis Society's leader through the unique ability of his military rank.

A troll is a terrifying monster that can reach 3-4 meters in height and weigh more than a ton. Trolls are incredibly strong, but also extremely stupid, which prevents them from using any magic. Their weapons are usually tree trunks that they casually uproot and break. They have gray skin, bumpy bodies, and flat, horny feet. They emit a terrible smell, "a mixture of smelly socks and an uncleaned public toilet." Their noses are full of gray, glue-like mucus - troll boogers.

All wild trolls have violent tendencies and seem impatient, and you never know when their bad temper will flare up. Trolls are native to Scandinavia, but have recently been seen in Britain, Ireland, and other parts of Northern Europe. They talk in grunts, which seems to be a crude language, but it is known that some trolls can understand and even speak a few simple human words. Some of the smarter ones have been trained to act as guards.

There are three types of trolls: mountain trolls, forest trolls, and water trolls. Mountain trolls are the largest and most dangerous. Its head is bald, and its skin is light gray. Forest trolls have light green skin, and some have fine hair, green or brown, and messy. Water trolls have short horns, perhaps even fur. Its skin is a bit purple, and it is often found lurking under bridges. The troll's diet includes all creatures with blood and raw meat, and of course, humans are also honored to be among them.

After learning about the Banks Gang's conspiracy, Fang Senyan's first thought for breaking the situation was also trolls. According to the original plot, Professor Quirinus Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort, in order to attract everyone's attention so that he could steal the Sorcerer's Stone guarded by the three-headed dog Fluffy, released an adult mountain troll into Hogwarts during a holiday, causing chaos.

Obviously, this clumsy monster weighing several tons could not have traveled from afar. The most likely scenario was that Quirrell-Voldemort had deliberately raised it somewhere near Hogwarts, waiting for the right time to release it. And Quirrell had to teach after the start of school, so he wouldn't have much free time. It wouldn't be realistic to capture and temporarily raise such a huge and powerful creature like a mountain troll at that time.

And as long as they killed this mountain troll living near Hogwarts, they would undoubtedly be clearing a huge threat existing around Hogwarts for the Hogwarts school. This was like a group of temporary school workers actively destroying a hidden den of prostitution and organized crime next to the campus, which was very satisfying, and this den was very likely to kill or cripple students.

And Hagrid's current position at Hogwarts is: Keeper of Keys and Grounds,

Which means his job is originally responsible for the beasts and monsters around Hogwarts. Therefore, if they can successfully eliminate the huge hidden danger of the mountain troll hidden around Hogwarts, it will naturally greatly increase Hagrid's favorability.

If the Banks Gang and others are trying to increase their favorability from Hagrid's personal hobbies, then killing the mountain troll is starting from the "public" aspect - of course, the risk involved is also extremely huge. Even ignoring the threat of the mountain troll itself, it is difficult to say whether the attack on it will be interfered with by Voldemort-Quirrell. After all, in Voldemort's plan, the appearance of the mountain troll in Hogwarts is an extremely important link!

*****************

After Crowbar waited for everyone to finish reading, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention to him:

"As you can see, taking down a mountain troll is not an easy task, but don't exaggerate the difficulty. According to the information transmitted by the boss, the slow speed and stupid intelligence of the mountain troll are both weaknesses that we can exploit."

"Also, according to the plot, the top of the mountain troll's head should also be its weakness. Once hit, it is easy to cause it to faint! What we have to do is very simple, that is, dig a deep enough trap to let this big fool fall in, and then pour all our firepower at its head! Everything... is that simple. Does anyone have any questions?"

Darth, holding his Mauser rifle, sat at the far end of the wooden house and said coldly:

"I have a crucial question... Why would the mountain troll step into the trap as we wish? Don't use its low intelligence to prevaricate me. No matter how low the intelligence of a creature is, it must have its unique way of survival! What kind of lure are you planning to use?"

Crowbar's face also darkened:

"That's my business, Darth. Your responsibility is to aim at the mountain troll's head and pull the trigger. You don't need to think too much about the rest!"

Darth sneered:

"That would be great if that were the case. I'm just afraid that the moment I fire, I will become the primary target of the mountain troll! And I will be honored to become the bait to lure it. If trying to cover up everything is the so-called cooperation method of the Symbiosis Society, then I choose to withdraw!"

Crowbar took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Although he wanted to turn against Darth at this moment, he finally endured it. The Symbiosis Society contractors gathered here all excel in strength, so unfortunately, it means that they are extremely lacking in ranged attacks! Based on the strength of the contractors in the current world difficulty, perhaps there are teams that rely entirely on pure melee teams to take down the mountain troll, but this team definitely does not include the Symbiosis Society. Therefore, Darth, who can perform ranged attacks and is strong, has become an object that must be won over.

"If the boss could spare the time to help... how could it be Darth, a fool like you, who is so arrogant? But... hmph."

When Crowbar reopened his eyes, he had regained his composure:

"You are our core firepower, so of course, we will do our best to ensure your safety. As for the question of the mountain troll entering the trap, I can answer you. We will use bait to lure it to the trap. The bait is a killed deer. As for the person who takes the deer to lure it into the trap... will be chosen from the six people including me. You are not among them."

After hearing this arrangement, Darth finally nodded, acquiescing to the arrangement, but he still added a sentence:

"I will definitely not fire until the mountain troll enters the trap."

Crowbar nodded gloomily, gathered the others, and said simply:

"Everyone must be very clear about our current situation. I don't want to say more. Those with certain ranged attack capabilities, stand up and go to the left."
