A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

A little over a week later, Aaron brought Abe to the family's most important secret room.

The third crystal shone brightly, as if urging him to set off quickly.

Several family members were waiting for him there, but their expressions varied: some were relieved, some were excited, and some were worried.

"I don't know how long this trip will take, so take good care of yourself." Vico patted Aaron on the shoulder and then gave him the necessary funds and enough dry rations for three days.

“If you stay long enough, you can find me a daughter-in-law.” Lisanna wiped away her tears and draped a cloak over Aaron’s shoulders.

"Can we change the subject?" Aaron said, speechless.

Lisanna shook her head. "You're not young anymore; it's time to think about these things."

Besides, if you get married and have children, you can come back and won't have to take any more risks.

"Then I'm really frustrated," Aaron chuckled.

Abe came closer, looking at him with reluctance, and then stuffed the phoenix's tears into Aaron's pocket.

"This is the second trip, so I should be able to bring more things, right?" Aaron said meaningfully.

“Okay,” Vico nodded, then changed the subject, “but Abe still won’t do; its identity is too special.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Abe's eyes, but he waved his hand dismissively.

Even without it, the owner can still return safely.

"Then can I bring more magical items?"

"Didn't you bring all those guns? What else do you need?" Vico teased. "It's okay to be greedy, but you can't be insatiable!"

Aaron's lips twitched, and he gave him an international friendship gesture.

He was insatiable, and compared to his father, who immediately replaced his entire set of magical equipment upon becoming the clan leader, he was far from deserving of the title.

“Young Master, this is for you.” Genes handed over a small bottle of Felix Felicis. “At least it guarantees a safe landing.”

"Heh! Guarantee?"

I drank this stuff last time and almost died instantly.

Freefalling from over a thousand meters in the air almost killed me.

Genes remained calm and said, "Young Master, why do you think there's extreme training on your schedule?"

"Last time it definitely wasn't the Felix Felicis that was the problem. Or rather, if the young master hadn't drunk the Felix Felicis to boost his luck, the landing might have been even more dangerous."

Aaron was speechless for a moment. He felt that there was some truth to what was said, but something still felt off.

Aaron took a deep breath, grabbed the Felix Felicis, and downed it in one gulp.

Whether the landing was dangerous or not was not important; he was confident that he could handle these minor troubles.

But the world he goes to is still very important. If it's like last time, involving a long journey and participation in two major battles, he can accept it. But if he's assigned a world full of dangers, that would be tragic.

Professor Trelawney predicted that it would be a short trip, and he would return soon.

It might be a beginner's village where you can easily clear the game, but it could also be a boss's lair where you might get slapped to death by a powerful enemy shortly after arriving.

"May our ancestors bless me and arrange a less difficult task for me!" Aaron prayed fervently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the branches and leaves of the giant tree swayed slightly.

Although it was slight, everyone present noticed it.

"This...is she really that understanding?" Aaron felt a sense of happiness coming too suddenly. "I like it, she's so humane."

"Don't get too excited." Vico poured cold water on his enthusiasm, his expression complicated. "This time might be easier, but that means the next time... won't be any better."

Upon hearing this, Aaron swallowed hard, feeling utterly devastated.

He finally understood what Professor Trelawney meant by the exceptionally long journey; it was all his own doing.

“It’s alright.” Lisanna said nonchalantly, even with a hint of excitement. “You can perfectly avoid this by getting married and having children before your next trip.”

Aaron felt increasingly bitter, as if he had found a way to break the prophecy, but he was unwilling to do so.

"I'm leaving now. I'll be back soon if nothing unexpected happens," Aaron said, then made a small cut on his finger.

A drop of blood flew out and was absorbed by the giant tree.

Then a wooden door appeared, and a blue tunnel came into view.

Abe subconsciously touched its head. Last time when its owner set off, it wanted to go with him, but it crashed into that tree. This time, it dared not try again.

"Wait a minute," Vico suddenly called out to Aaron, "You should know the precautions, right?"

"It's clear, as clear as it gets."

"Hopefully I won't freefall this time, or run into any strange old men or powerful monsters." Aaron chuckled and strode into the portal.

At the same time, the thought entity in the Divine Palace seemed to sense something, its body turned into points of light and dissipated, and half of its magic power returned to its original body.

......

what!what!what!

"I don't believe your nonsense."

Aaron cursed loudly in mid-air, the strong wind making his lips tremble and his teeth chatter.

He was in freefall again, but he didn't do anything; he just gripped the wand tightly in his hand.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Besides feeling angry, he was also somewhat prepared.

But this time he felt his preparations were somewhat unnecessary; shock absorption, deceleration, and ground softening were completely unnecessary.

Below him was a blue sea, and he could feel the sea breeze even when he was hundreds of meters below the surface. In addition, there was a lush forest.

The scene was beautiful; in his world, it would be considered a vacation paradise.

However, the addition of someone shouting in mid-air adds a strange and incongruous feel to the scene.

boom!

Water splashed everywhere.

Aaron did not use the water-repelling spell. He would not use magic lightly until he understood the normal state of this world or was sure that no one was around.

He used the momentum to dive down for a while before starting to surface.

puff!

Aaron's head broke the surface of the sea as he gasped for breath, and it took him a while to catch his breath before he swam toward the shore.

As he stepped onto the beach, he was soaked to the bone, the sticky feeling making him very uncomfortable. He then took off his cloak and coat.

"Damn it, next time I'll definitely prepare a swimsuit," Aaron cursed inwardly, then glanced around at his surroundings.

The first thing he saw was the boundless sea. He didn't know whether he was on a giant island or on the edge of a landmass.

If you're on the edge of land, you can find a human town to temporarily settle down.

But if it's an island, then we have to hope it's not an uninhabited island, otherwise he'll probably have to go through a period of wilderness survival before finding humans or other intelligent life.

Chapter 424 Wilderness Survival, Restoring Part of History

Snapped!

Sparks flew.

Under the night sky, Aaron sat by the fire and casually draped his dried cloak over himself.

After an entire afternoon of exploration, he came to a sad conclusion: it was probably an uninhabited island, with almost no other living creatures within a radius of thirty miles except for a few birds.

Of course, it's also possible that he didn't explore far enough. After all, this island, or rather the mainland, is not an ordinary place. There might be other people living further away!

However, the most urgent task is to fill their stomachs, as wizards also need to eat.

Vico had prepared three days' worth of food for him, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

Aaron took out a can of meat, a piece of bread, and a portion of compressed rations from his food bag for dinner. After a simple meal, he lay down on the straw mat made of leaves and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Aaron's biological clock woke him up on time.

Without delay, he extinguished the fire and continued his exploration.

There was nothing he could do about it. His food would last him two more days, and if he couldn't find a human town or village within two days, he would really have to survive in the wilderness.

Every now and then, Aaron would climb to the top of the tree to check the direction he was heading. After walking from morning until noon, he finally saw a clear blue sky amidst the lush greenery.

"Heaven will not destroy me!"

Aaron almost burst out laughing. He immediately quickened his pace and walked another seven or eight miles before arriving at a clear stream.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a clear river. He could see the rocks at the bottom and even the fish and shrimp in the depths very clearly, though their numbers were pitifully small.

goo~

Suddenly, my stomach growled.

The protests from his body left Aaron feeling rather helpless. Luckily, there was no one around, so he decisively waved his wand, and a fresh grass carp was pulled to the shore.

The entire process of killing the fish, bleeding it, removing its scales, gutting it, scraping off the black membrane, removing its gills, and cleaning its fins can be completed within half a minute.

At this moment, Aaron was genuinely grateful to his ancestor Salx. Although he had only studied under him for a month or so, he was still a pretty good cook, and at least he wouldn't suffer too much hardship in the wilderness.

Aaron placed the prepared grass carp on a rock and prepared to start a fire.

But just as he was about to break off a few branches, a strange feeling came to his heart: Can you please not hurt me?

Second Austrian!

Aaron immediately let go; he didn't think he had misheard.

This tree is alive and has its own consciousness.

Aaron took a deep breath and began to concentrate on sensing, but he found nothing. The consciousness seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep or deliberately hidden itself.

Out of awe of the unknown, he did not harm the tree.

More importantly, there are countless trees of the same type in this forest. The probability of cutting down one tree and angering the entire forest is not high, but it is still possible.

However, he wasn't afraid; he simply didn't want to cause trouble.
