Following the crowd into Hogwarts and passing through the entrance hall, Gu Moli and Hua Qiong quickly entered the auditorium.
Thousands of candles floated in the air, and the roof was as bright as the starry sky. One glance could even make people intoxicated. Inside the hall, the students were clearly divided into four parts: Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
Of course the most important thing is.
There was also a long table on the upper platform of the Great Hall, and sitting at this table were the teachers that Hogwarts was proud of.
In the center of the long table was an old man with white hair and a beard that reached down to his chest. He looked quite old, but his expression was very kind.
"Albus Dumbledore..."
The greatest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, the most powerful white wizard, and the terminator of the first generation of Dark Lord.
He is also the only one that Voldemort fears.
So exciting.
Unlike what Gu Moli expected, Dumbledore did not speak here. Instead, Professor McGonagall stepped forward and said loudly: "Freshmen, please keep quiet."
"First of all, welcome everyone to Hogwarts. The opening banquet will begin soon, but before that, we must first hold a sorting ceremony for the young wizards present. Next, please line up in a single row. Whoever's name I call will sit on the stool and put on the hat."
As she spoke, McGonagall raised the Sorting Hat.
Just like in the movie, the Sorting Hat itself is a very shabby hat with patches on it, but when it shakes, it forms the shape of a face, with a crease at the mouth, which opens and closes, and the song of the Sorting Hat comes out from it.
As expected.
“It’s hard to hear.”
The following plot is a bit unbelievable.
in short.
Gu Moli and Hua Qiong entered the mode of watching the plot. Everything in front of them was like a mirage, just like watching a movie. Freshmen were called up one by one, but they could not hear McGonagall read out their names. They could only hear the Sorting Hat's final assignment of the freshmen to their respective colleges.
"Slytherin! Hufflepuff! Ravenclaw! Ravenclaw! Hufflepuff! Gryffindor!"
“… … !”
What happened next surprised the two even more.
Professor McGonagall opened and closed her mouth, as if she was calling out a name, but this time no freshman stepped forward. Instead, a system window popped up on Hua Qiong's side.
You were called by name by Professor McGonagall
Please come forward and complete the Sorting Ceremony
"Hmm? Instead of the NPC calling out the player's name, it's a system prompt?"
"Ah, but it would be very distracting if we used the player's name, so this setting is not bad."
After Gu Moli complained a few words, he signaled Hua Qiong to go up quickly.
Hua Qiong didn't waste any time. He stood up and walked to Professor McGonagall's side, then sat on the stool, ready to wait for the Sorting Hat's assignment.
By the way.
At this time, Gu Moli and Hua Qiong were actually the same as other freshmen, both wearing little wizard robes, without revealing their respective equipment. Otherwise, Gu Moli should have been wearing a set of high-precision technical armor, and Hua Qiong should have been wearing a set of Warring States era warrior armor, holding a mace in his hand.
But in fact, the equipment display inside the game can be adjusted.
You can choose to wear the default costumes when entering the script, or you can change to your own costumes. These are all choices made by the player himself. At the same time, this change will not affect the player's own attributes or combat effectiveness unless there are special circumstances.
However, Gu Moli is a special case.
After all, his armor has heavy firepower such as rockets. If he wants to use rockets, he must display the armor, otherwise he can't use it. Of course, if he doesn't use external weapons such as rockets, and only uses the armor itself to fight, it doesn't matter if it is not displayed.
The settings here are very user-friendly.
And at this time, the results about Huaqiong's branch came out.
"Gryffindor!"
... .It was just as Gu Moli expected.
If Gu Moli came to sort the houses, he would definitely put that tomboy into Gryffindor.
"Next... ..!"
Just like before, Professor McGonagall just opened and closed her lips. Gu Moli did not hear her name, but the system prompted Gu Moli that he was called.
Like the freshmen before him, Gu Moli stepped out of the line and sat next to Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on Gu Moli's head.
Immediately following.
"Hmm, hmm, interesting, very interesting."
"This little wizard."
What the hell? Is it the Sorting Hat? It actually spoke!
Gu Moli originally thought that the sorting ceremony was nothing more than a random process for the players, or that the players could simply choose it themselves. But the result was actually the same as in the original book
"Young wizard."
"Concentrate."
"Now, answer my question, where do you want to go?"
"... I can decide for myself?"
"Of course, every little wizard has the right to decide their own house. This is the tradition of Hogwarts. It's just that most little wizards don't realize this. Of course, as the Sorting Hat, I will give them the best choice, but they can still decide for themselves."
"Can I hear your advice?"
"very good."
The voice of the Sorting Hat sounded again: "Without a doubt, Slytherin is the best fit for you. You are smart and have outstanding abilities. Most importantly, you are ambitious. You are unwilling to be ordinary. If you are in Slytherin, you will undoubtedly achieve great things."
"....Only Slytherin? Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff, Gryffindor?"
"Oh?"
The Sorting Hat paused for a moment before speaking again: "Ravenclaw is a good choice for you to learn knowledge, but it requires a calm atmosphere and is not suitable for you who likes to pursue excitement. Hufflepuff is not suitable for you who are naturally smart. Gryffindor, Gryffindor..."
"... How would you like to go to Gryffindor?"
"You like adventure and challenges. In a sense, you also have love in your heart, but strictly speaking..."
"... .You lack true courage."
"Gryffindor is not a good choice."
“I see…”
"Of course, if you want, so do I..."
"No."
Gu Moli suddenly shook his head: "Let's choose Slytherin. I value your choice more than my own."
"... .Hoho, have you really decided?"
"It's decided."
"Very good, then..."
The Sorting Hat's voice suddenly grew louder, echoing throughout the Great Hall.
"Slytherin!"
Congratulations, player! You have been sorted into Slytherin!
The Sorting Ceremony has been completed!
The conditions for leaving have been met!
... ..that simple
It's so weird.
