A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

His thought form has been retrieved, and he is now a true Grand Magus. Even if he can't defeat a whole forest, he can still escape unscathed.

Because of this incident, the grilled fish meal was rather bland, but it did replenish my energy.

Aaron followed the river forward. If all went well, he would eventually see a civilized society, or at the very least, he would be able to leave this forest.

Night fell before they knew it, and a hundred-meter-high cliff blocked their way.

Aaron rolled his eyes at this, speechless.

One day, he walked for a whole day, and finally emerged from the forest only to be played such a cruel joke on him.

Rock climbing isn't difficult for him, but he's really not interested in rock climbing late at night.

He gathered some dry branches to light a fire to keep dangerous creatures away, then found a relatively clean rock and lay down on it.

Bored, Aaron looked at the stars in the sky.

Professor Trelawney's divination class included astrology, and although he preferred using crystal balls, he did have some knowledge of astrology.

Tawa Star, Alanbi Star... Victory, peace, Sirius... war... and unexpected enemies.

"Hiss!" Aaron gasped. It seemed he had entered a rather complicated world, but it shouldn't be more complicated than the previous one.

After all, the World Tree arranged a simple trip for him this time, and even if he were to participate in a war, it shouldn't be on a large scale... probably.

Aaron comforted himself, then suddenly remembered something and sat up from the rock.

"System, sign in."

He almost forgot about this; it's the fastest way to find clues about this world, at least he can find out if he's on a deserted island.

"The host has checked in at an unknown ruin and gained 5 magic points."

Aaron blinked, barely suppressing the urge to curse. "I've been walking all day and haven't found a trace of the ruins, let alone an unknown one... System, could you be any more perfunctory?"

"This system is already very user-friendly, otherwise the host's check-in location would be some unknown world."

Aaron: ......

you are vicious.

Is this the benefit of having the final say? I've really learned something.

"Unknown ruins?"

Aaron repeated the word over and over, slowly turning his gaze to the top of the cliff.

That should be it. Even if it isn't, he'll have to cross that cliff tomorrow.

......

The next morning, Aaron opened his food bag.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we began rock climbing.

This height of cliff face was nothing to him; he easily climbed to the top.

But when he saw the dense jungle above the cliff, his composure crumbled instantly.

That's going too far! This is ridiculous! It's like wrapping a large intestine inside a small intestine!

In that instant, Aaron had the idea of ​​either using Phantom Teleportation to rush over directly, or flying over directly using Animagus.

But reason wouldn't allow him to do that; he knew nothing about this world, and it would be disastrous if the local inhabitants were hostile to magic.

Fortunately, he soon discovered a path paved with rocks, which brightened his mood.

As they continued along the rocky path, the woods gradually turned into meadows, and sure enough, a ruin appeared directly in front of Aaron.

Unsure if anyone was inside, Aaron cautiously and slowly approached.

The ruins are large, without any traps or mechanisms; they appear to be a magnificent palace, only eroded by time.

But the appearance of some scattered boulders changed Aaron's mind. The palace must have been captured by an army and became a ruin hundreds of years later.

“Catapults, a palace from hundreds of years ago…” Aaron stroked his chin, carefully examining the damage to the ruins. He thought that the technological level of this world must not be high, perhaps even inferior to the previous world he had visited.

First, there is no trace of damage caused by firearms in this site. Second, the boulders launched by the catapults are very irregular, which is enough to prove that the army hundreds of years ago did not even have a fully perfected weapon like the catapult.

Unless a technological explosion occurs, the people here should still be living in the era of cold weapons even after hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Aaron's lips curled up uncontrollably, revealing an exaggerated smile.

His wardrobe space contained five guns, which would have been considered amazing in the era of cold weapons.

Once he's certain there are no superhumans in the world who can threaten him, can't he just run wild?

However, we should keep a low profile until then.

Aaron briefly inspected the entire ruins from the outside in. There were no signs of trampling on the roadside weeds, no signs of picking the fruit on the books, and not a trace of smoke in the air.

These clues confirmed to him that there was no one else here, not even intelligent life, let alone wild animals.

“Then it’s time to study history, which will give me a little understanding of this world,” Aaron muttered to himself.

He then cleared out a large section of the stone wall and constructed a prototype of the palace from hundreds of years ago based on his current discoveries in the ruins.

"Rows of broken stone pillars, crumbling walls... This is a main hall, a few steps, a semi-circular platform... This should be where the throne is, but... Am I wrong?" Aaron looked at the four bases on the platform and couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

In his understanding, a country can only have one king, but these four pedestals directly indicate that this country, which disappeared in history, may have had four kings, and their statuses were roughly equal.

This is too exaggerated. Unless there is a greater emperor above these four kings who can reliably maintain the balance of power among the four sides, or... these four kings established this kingdom.

Shaking his head, Aaron stopped thinking about these random things.

Knowing the general outline of history is enough; he can't analyze too many details.

In short, hundreds of years ago, four kings ruled this land, but a sudden and powerful enemy attacked and destroyed the country.

The enemy did not occupy the kingdom, but instead plundered it...

Wait, looting?

The word "robber" suddenly popped into Aaron's mind, but his gaze inexplicably shifted to the azure sea, and the robber instantly transformed into a pirate.

Aaron felt as if he had grasped the truth: pirates had plundered all the wealth of a kingdom.

This group of pirates must have been quite large, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to conquer a kingdom.

However, several hundred years have passed, and those pirates may have left this land, or perhaps... they rebuilt a kingdom.

Gulu!

Aaron was startled by his own imagination, then burst into laughter.

A low-budget version of One Piece? No way!

Having roughly reconstructed part of the history from hundreds of years ago, Aaron began to search carefully within the ruins.

He had no hope for the pirates' character, but he still had some faith in the kingdom; perhaps they had hidden something before the kingdom was destroyed.

Starting with a thorough search of the palace's corners, Aaron found a pure gold chess piece in the grass, which could only prove that the pirates hadn't looted the place completely.

To his surprise, there was indeed a hidden door under a section of broken wall.

This door is made of wood, and hundreds of years of wind and rain have made it extremely fragile. Besides spider webs, it is covered with dense traces of insect damage.

"Araho Cave is open."

The unlocking spell struck the wooden door, and the rotten, dilapidated doorknob turned with a creaking sound.

Aaron entered the dark room by climbing a set of steps. Due to the war, part of the edge of the dark room had collapsed, but it was still relatively well preserved overall.

After passing through an iron gate, Aaron arrived at the deepest part of the room.

There are four large wooden crates here, and in front of the crates are four different statues, two men and two women.

"Looks like there really are four kings!" Aaron shook his head, then opened the treasure chest.

Contrary to his expectations, the contents were not gold and silver treasures for the restoration of the kingdom, nor precious historical books, but rather the personal belongings of the four kings.

Clothes, armor, sword, bow and arrow, but the most eye-catching item was a bottle of red potion.

As a disciple of a master potion maker and a descendant of a master botany maker, Aaron's eyes were glued to the bottle of potion the moment he saw it.

The potion, an incredible potion, is no less cost-effective than his resurrection potion.

Stab it!

Aaron ran his wand across his palm, leaving a deep red welt.

He immediately used a levitation spell to extract a drop of red potion, and after taking it, the wound healed instantly.

"No matter how serious the injury, as long as there is still a breath left, can you recover?"

"The effects are somewhat abnormal." Aaron exclaimed in admiration, a newfound sense of awe for this world growing within him. Anyone capable of concocting such a potion was no ordinary person.

More importantly, it seems like this bottle of medicine is inexhaustible; as soon as you take out a drop, another drop appears in the bottle.

The bow and arrow also possess a certain magic; those red arrows seem to be able to increase their hit rate to some extent according to the master's will.

The two swords were taken from the treasure chests of two male kings. After hundreds of years, they were still sharp. Although they were not as good as the Enemy Sword and Beast Bite Sword forged by the elves, they were still quite good divine weapons.

“Nice equipment, it’s mine now,” Aaron said calmly, without the slightest hint of guilt.

Since it's unclaimed, whoever finds it owns it.

Rather than letting it gather ashes in a dark and gloomy room, it's better to put it to good use; it's not impossible for it to go down in history someday.

When Aaron left the secret chamber, he had two swords at his waist, a bow and arrows on his back, and a bottle of red magic potion in his pocket.

I've been in this world for two days now, and this is the first time I've experienced the joy of being fully armed. This trip has definitely been worthwhile.

......

After changing his equipment, Aaron picked some fruit and continued on his way.

He didn't want to stay here as a savage; finding human society as soon as possible was the most important thing.

Continuing along the river, he entered a dense forest, wading through water several times, but he didn't mind, because he felt he was getting closer and closer to human society.

Before you know it, night falls.

Camping deep in the jungle was dangerous, but he had no other choice.
