A round of clapping sounds rang out.
Luna had already come downstairs and quickly opened the door. "Good morning, Mrs. Weasley!"
Molly's voice instantly became very kind, "Luna, good morning! Looks like you got up early too? Is your dad up making breakfast? I can see smoke coming from the chimney."
Luna said, "Vizet is making breakfast, come in quickly!"
The group entered the living room, and Molly saw Vizet cracking eggs. She couldn't help but sigh, "Merlin's beard! If you two were like Vizet, you'd make things easier for Mom!"
"We can clear out the goblins!"
We can help you feed the chickens!
"Although not as good as Percy!"
"But the grades aren't bad either!"
The Weasley twins sang in unison, counting on their fingers.
"Alright! Alright!" Molly couldn't help but laugh. "We know you guys are something else! If only you had made fewer mistakes back at Hogwarts, I'd received several complaint letters already!"
Wizette extinguished the flame on the stove and looked at the Weasleys, saying, "Good morning, Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George! Would you like some fried eggs?"
“Good girl! I’ve already cooked the oatmeal.” Molly waved her hand with a smile. “Xenophilius told us that you’re planning to go on a trip, so he asked me to help take care of the garden.”
Vizette quickly said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lovegood, for troubling you!"
Fred and George waved their hands simultaneously, one after the other, and said:
"It's alright! If you travel to Sweden, remember to bring back some local specialties!"
"Those strange and unusual local products, the stranger the better, that's what we like!"
"Alright, alright! Don't say things like that!" Molly glared at the Weasley twins. "We're just neighbors helping each other out, no need to make such a fuss."
"Molly...good morning!" Xenophilius, sporting a messy hairstyle, came downstairs, rubbing his eyes and trying to look as energetic as possible.
He held a leather notebook in his hand, its style somewhat antique. "Sorry... I was packing last night and then went to bed late..."
He walked straight to Molly and handed her the old-fashioned notebook.
"Basically, you just need to water it every day... If there are any unexpected situations, you can check directly in the notebook."
"The method of use is also very simple: just bring the note close to the flower with the abnormality, and the solution will appear on the note."
Upon hearing this, Vizet couldn't help but marvel once again at the wonders of magic, that even a notebook could possess such capabilities.
Luna leaned closer to him and whispered, "That was written by my mother. I used it until I figured out all the flowers in the garden."
Chapter 15 Ancient Magic: The Balanced Conversion of Magic Potions
With everything prepared, Vizette and her group officially embarked on their journey.
They used the Floo network, transiting through the Leaky Cauldron to reach London, and then took a Muggle bus to the vicinity of Thames Port.
After several days of travel, Xenophilius had become extremely proficient at using the Muggle bus, casually tossing out pennies enough for three people to ride.
The Thames is the "mother" river of England. Downstream from London, it widens to form an estuary of about 29 kilometers, emptying into the North Sea.
As a wide river mouth, a port was naturally built here, which was the starting point for Wizette and his team—the Port of Thames.
This port is one of the world's largest ports, with ships of all sizes either docked here or heading to destinations all over the world.
The Thames rippled with silver waves, and sunlight shone through the almost vanished mist, casting a golden glow on its surface.
The silver and gold colors on the river surface shimmered and sparkled, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Even in the early morning, Thames Harbour was already bustling with activity.
Led by Xenophilius, the three walked through the crowd until he pointed and called out, "We're here." Vizette and Luna looked in the direction he was pointing.
Similar to the Leaky Cauldron, the magical port here is hidden in the dock buildings, and only wizards can see the high-hanging plaque: Port Tammise.
Below the plaque is a tall, rustic wooden door, exquisitely carved, with gemstones inlaid in the recessed areas.
Seemingly to attract the wizard's attention, the gem emitted a beautiful sea-blue light when Vizette and the others focused their gaze on it.
The doorknob is a silver dragon claw, with fine scales and sharp claws, as if it could move at any moment.
The wooden door stands on a ring of ancient stone steps, and the Muggles around it will avoid it before they come into contact with the steps.
As the three ascended the stone steps, the dragon's claws indeed moved, assuming a handshake gesture.
Xenophirus grasped the dragon's claw, and the wooden door opened, revealing a wide stone path.
The moment Vizet stepped onto the stone path, The Wizarding Guide to Combat opened, revealing a new map of the fog.
He naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by, and immediately used his Eye of Magic to begin collecting ancient magical power.
"They're all lavender, growing so vigorously. The person who watered them must have put a lot of care into it!" Luna bent down and praised the plants on both sides of the road.
The lavender seemed to respond to her words, swaying gently and joyfully in the breeze, releasing a delightful fragrance.
……
At the end of the stone road is an open-air dock, where not many boats are moored and there are far fewer pedestrians than at the Thames Port outside.
A magnificent fire dragon head stands on the dock, its wide-open eyes always gazing at the sea, as if guarding every ship that enters or leaves this place.
As far as the dragon's head could see was a wide expanse of water.
There seems to be magic here; the water's surface is like a mirror, without the slightest ripple, only reflecting the azure sky, making it as dazzling as a jewel.
"Mr. Lovegood! Mr. Lovegood!"
Someone was calling to them from afar; it was a tall, dark-skinned sorcerer wearing a woolen robe.
“You must be the first ones to arrive.” The wizard shook hands with Xenophirus. “I just got here.”
The wizard is a staff member of the "Viking House" and also the guide for this journey.
His skin was rough and cracked, and he looked very robust, like a Viking warrior from a movie.
Xenophilius shrugged. "Since we're already awake, we might as well come over sooner."
"It should be another half hour. We'll set off once everyone's here." The wizard nodded. "You can wander around here, or you can go sit in the bar over there!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed to another road at the dock, "If you forget to buy souvenirs on your way back, you can buy Swedish vodka there."
At the end of the road stood a small hut, its windows closed, a dark, murky mess that looked even more dilapidated than the Leaky Cauldron.
“A bar…” Xenophilius shook his head. “Never mind! Never mind! I have two kids with me!”
"Then so be it!" the wizard grinned. "Our magical ship will appear soon, a magnificent, heavily carved three-masted sailing ship, easy to spot."
"Come and assemble after you appear?"
"Correct!"
……
This was Luna's first time seeing the sea, and she was very excited.
She wore a large sun hat and skipped and hopped all the way, her smile never stopping.
Now that Vizette was proficient in using the Levitation Charm, he leisurely followed behind her, helping her pull her suitcase.
Xenophilius walked at the very back, yawning constantly, and didn't look very well; he must have gone to bed late last night.
Luna's long, pale blonde hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her eyes were filled with a dreamlike light.
She laughed as she dodged a wave that flew onto the shore. "These rolling waves are probably just sea monsters yawning nearby, which is why there are bubbles coming out."
Vizette glanced behind her before nodding and saying, "It must be very comfortable underwater. With so many waves, you must have yawned a lot."
Luna's eyes lit up as she nodded in agreement.
She opened her arms and closed her eyes, as if listening to something. "The little sea monsters might not be so well-behaved, so the big sea monster would pick them up and hum a bedtime story, just like the sea breeze now..."
Vizette smiled slightly and walked over to Xenophilius, who was rubbing his eyes. "Mr. Lovegood, why don't you rest here for a bit? There's not much further to go."
"Um... be careful, don't fall into the water... drink..." Xenophius yawned a long yawn.
"It took me a while to pack last night... I'll sit here for a bit, and you can call me when the boat arrives..."
Before he could finish speaking, he sat on the suitcase, his body rising and falling, emitting low, faint snores.
Vizette smiled and shook her head, then slowly walked towards Luna.
In the map in my mind, the fog surrounding this road has completely dissipated.
He gathered the remaining ancient magical power and infused it into "The Wizard's Practical Guide".
The pages of "The Wizarding Guide to Combat" were flipped through quickly, and a new page soon appeared.
Ancient Magic: Potion Balance Conversion: Master the power of ancient magic... Using ancient magic as a medium, convert the proportions of soul properties and potion effects...
"Change the ratio of soul properties to potion potion effects?" Vizet frowned, immediately thinking of a soul soothing agent.
If this magic is cast, does it mean that even without a soul labyrinth, he can make the soul soothing potion pure?
Going further afield, perhaps this magic could be used to transform the properties of a soul into the potion's properties, and vice versa...
