Hogwarts doesn't need a savior
Page 88
The little wizards who own the dolls are eager for more and stronger versions, while the little wizards who have not yet obtained this magical prop are learning from their mistakes and studying harder with envy.
Lynn's teaching has become more orderly and busy after getting on track.
The annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Ancient Runes and Ancient Magic will be held in March, the Stargazers' gathering not far away, the weekly duel club and curse research, at least two club activities a week, and the in-depth exploration of the Hufflepuff Codex...
Adding the weekends, his schedule was extremely full with the monthly tutoring for fifth and seventh graders, individual lessons for three assistants, and the leisurely Sundays he had to spend with Euphemia in Birmingham every week.
But he was obviously enjoying it. He wore the robe made by Euphemia every day and smiled at everyone he met.
Such an attitude made Doris and Hermione's gossiping mentality more and more intense. Although Percy said he disliked it, his body was very honest. Every time he heard them discussing, he would stay aside silently and listen carefully with his ears perked up.
Only Boyce and Andrew were decent people - it wasn't because they had a good conscience, but because they had their OWLs and NEWTs exams coming up and didn't have the time and energy to engage in gossip.
As time goes by, life goes on as usual and is even more fulfilling than the first semester.
-----------------
It's another Saturday.
That morning, Lynn slept in for the first time in a long time, tidied the house, and placed the Hufflepuff Notes, which he had memorized by heart, among the Christmas presents from Neville and Luna.
In a short while, his most dedicated assistant Hermione would come to help him proofread the last part of the new book.
Today her two friends were busy training on the Quidditch field - next week would be the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match, so she had a rare chance to be quiet for a while, away from the annoyance of being pestered to copy homework.
Although in Lin En's opinion, his academic assistant was actually enjoying it.
While waiting, he sat at his desk and took out a notebook that was almost full.
Above is the information of every young wizard in the Stargazer Club, some detailed and some brief, recording his analysis of these students and the emphasis of his teaching, especially Percy, Doris, and Cedric.
As winter turns to spring, the young wizards' magic levels are steadily improving, and he has to make some adjustments in a timely manner.
Doris's fifth-level fire spell practice has reached a critical period and requires some guidance - not the guidance of fifth-level magic, but the guidance of elemental magic including water spell and freezing spell.
Ever since Percy broke through the bottleneck of the Disarming Spell in order to rescue Ron and Harry, his magic level, which had been stagnant for a long time, has begun to improve again. Although not as amazing as Doris's, it is more comprehensive and needs some new stimulation.
Cedric's growth was faster than anyone else. The simultaneous development of rune magic and traditional magic allowed him to quickly acquire a duel level that was comparable to or even slightly suppressing Boyce. Even Doris had to be careful with him.
Lynn planned to find a time to have a real one-on-one duel with him to make him calm down - although this impeccable young man did not seem to be proud, but always remained humble, this was Professor Sprout's requirement.
There are also Boyce, Andrew, Luna and Neville, Ginny whose talent is beginning to emerge, and Pavla whose theoretical level is praised by Professor Barbour. Under each little wizard's name there are some teaching plans for the next few months.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and implementing policies flexibly are the most effective ways to realize their talents.
Of course there is Hermione, his most capable and down-to-earth assistant.
Every time he saw this eager-to-learn girl, he seemed to see Euphemia from more than a decade ago. Although she might be inferior in talent for magic, especially not very good at fighting, her theoretical knowledge and keen sense of knowledge were rare in ancient and modern times.
Even the stunning Lily Evans back then was no better than this.
With a quill in hand, he wrote line after line, almost forgetting the time, until he heard short, powerful knocking sounds outside the window.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
Turning around, I saw a sturdy brown owl with the hair on its chest shaped into a very unique style.
He quickly opened the window and picked up the letter dropped by the owl.
The letter is not long, just a few lines.
Coming from Egypt, Lynn's eyes lit up.
When Hermione walked into the office, Lynn's Patronus had just disappeared into the distance. The room was still filled with a cheerful atmosphere and a small pile of unfinished owl food.
"Good morning, Hermione." Lynn said with a smile, "I think we need to speed up the process a little today. After the proofreading is finished, I will go to see Professor McGonagall and Professor Babbling."
"Okay, Professor, I'll try my best." Hermione nodded obediently, "Is there something wrong?"
"That's right. I need to take a few days off and switch classes with Professor Barbling." Lynn said briskly, "I'll bring you gifts when I come back."
"?"
Hermione didn't understand the situation, but didn't ask any more questions. She opened the manuscript that had been revised countless times and began to read it carefully.
This monograph on the historical evolution of Rune magic is the first one she participated in compiling and has unique value.
Her enthusiasm was at an all-time high.
Chapter 135 Bill
Cairo, Egypt.
Too many people were squeezed by natural conditions onto the banks of the fertile Nile River, making this land that had nurtured a long civilization overwhelmed.
To this day, apart from the land along the rivers, the desert that occupies the vast majority of the country is still full of mystery, and it fascinates many wizards and explorers.
Gringotts, whose goal is to explore ruins and obtain precious materials, is also among them - the greedy goblins will not miss any opportunity to expand their wealth and power, although their decline is an unstoppable historical trend.
In order to realize their ambitions, they sent a large number of first-class curse breakers here, exploring the ruins hidden in the desert and deep in history year after year.
Ancient Egypt, Persia, Ancient Rome... Countless mysteries left over from generations of civilizations are buried beneath the desert. Some have been seen again, while others are still shrouded in veils and their true appearance is hard to find.
There are others, even if they reappear, that are far beyond the reach of the wizard's power.
Those truly dangerous ruins not only have powerful magic, but are also filled with all kinds of lost and strange things that are completely beyond the cognition of modern wizards. If you are not careful, even a wizard with great magical powers may suffer a disaster.
Every year, a large number of explorers fail in ruins around the world. Over time, many ancient sites that can be called "Jedi" and are terrifying have been formed.
The blood of wizards writes about their horror and weirdness.
-----------------
The last day of February, downtown.
A shabby-looking bar stands in the corner of a market filled with flatbread and spice vendors.
Among the crowd coming and going, Lynn and Euphemia's figures seemed a bit out of place - even though they used the Confusion Spell.
It was so noisy and crowded that even magic couldn't completely block out the throng.
"Is this the person you mentioned who was rushing to buy the cheap pancakes?" Euphemia looked around curiously. It was her first time to come to such a noisy and crowded place.
"Yeah, it's very common here." Lin En hugged his girlfriend to his side to avoid bumping into her. "Survival itself is not a problem for them, but living has become a luxury."
"...Yeah." Euphemia sighed.
She recalled the time she traveled with Lin En in Central Asia a few years ago, where people had trouble even surviving.
Beneath her cold exterior, her heart is much softer than many people.
Lin En also knew what she was thinking, and he exerted a little force with his arms and hugged her tighter.
"Some things are beyond human power," he said. "Even magic has its limits, let alone secular power."
Euphemia nodded: "I know, but I feel a little sad. If we don't have the talent for magic, will we also face such a life?"
"I don't think so." Lin En smiled, "At least I don't think you will, because my Miss Fei is the world's leading genius, even without magic."
"You're not serious again!" Euphemia said coquettishly as she punched him lightly, but her expression was very pleased. The regret she had just felt also dissipated with her cheerful mood.
"This is the truth." Lin En said seriously.
"Oh my god! Chief, when did you two become so affectionate? Are you finally together?"
As the two were chatting, the crowd around them dispersed and an exaggerated voice came from not far ahead.
A wizard in a black robe stood outside the bar with a grin on his face, as if he had discovered some big news, his ponytail rising and falling behind him.
"They are actually couple robes! I'm going to tell Senior Amanda, she will be very happy!"
"I was planning to wait until the next meeting to tell everyone, but it seems we have to tell you earlier." Lynn smiled and took Euphemia's hand, and walked forward slowly, "Good morning, Bill."
"Hehe, now that I know this news, it means everyone will know it! Are you ready to be drunk under the table by us at the next gathering?"
Bill ran over with a playful smile on his face, stretched out his arms and gave Lynn a tight hug.
"I'm surprised you came so early!" The Weasley eldest son, who has a strong personality, was very affectionate.
"You guys are faster than expected." Lynn said, "I thought it would take several months to decipher it."
"Thanks to Mr. Firenze and partners from all over the world, I definitely can't decipher such a complicated codeword by myself." Bill said modestly, "Come in and talk. It's very dry here. You need to replenish water at all times."
-----------------
In the bar's private room, Bill had already prepared drinks.
Although he looks unkempt and full of personality, he is actually very considerate and not just a handsome cool guy.
This is also the ability he developed after leaving home after graduation and living alone for many years.
He was able to stand out among the many talented curse breakers and to make the most picky goblins helpless. His talent and character were the best among his peers.
It is no exaggeration to say that among the new generation of stargazers, he is the one that Lin En values the most so far.
From Ron to Percy, and even sometimes Charlie, he treated them all as his sons and nephews, but Bill was different.
As he was not much older than Lin En and his personality was the most to Lin En's liking, he was often treated as a favored little brother. Not only did he inherit most of Lin En's magic, he even taught him how to duel.
In front of Bill, he and Euphemia had no intention of hiding anything. They sat together openly and listened to his introduction.
There were only a few words in yesterday's letter. Even Lin En only knew that he and his [scientific expedition team] had made a new discovery about an ancient relic and deciphered a set of key ciphertexts.
However, the danger level of this relic is far beyond the scope of what Bill and others can explore, so they have to ask for help.
That was why Lynn and Euphemia came together, ready to understand the situation and find out.
Bill also knew that time was precious, and without delay he took out a thick stack of parchment and placed it in front of the two men.
"Here is the exact location of the ruins, the results of the preliminary investigation, and our guess about the code of the mechanism. I will only talk about the important new discoveries."
When it comes to business, Bill puts away his cynical attitude and says, "According to previous investigations, this site should have been built in 100 BC, but according to the deciphered results, we found that the actual time was much earlier."
"Specific details." Lin En flipped through the files, "Which civilization's ruins are these?"
"The problem is that you can't pinpoint the origins," Bill said grimly. "There are Egyptian and Greek carvings mixed in, and Persian writing. It's very unusual."
Gringotts suffered a rare major setback here.
The exploration team suffered heavy losses before they even got deep into the area. Many curse breakers were seriously injured, and the leading goblin died on the spot.
The huge risk made them retreat and give up the secret hidden behind a thick stone wall.
With the deciphering complete, the chance to decode it fell into the hands of stargazers.
Under Bill's expectant gaze, Lin En whispered, "Fei, it's been a few years since we went treasure hunting in the magical ruins, right? This place looks interesting. Theoretically, a place like this would either hide a powerful monster or some really good stuff."
"Indeed, it has been more than three years." Euphemia smiled and stood up. She put away the parchment with a wave of her hand and took out two masks that were so realistic that they could be mistaken for real people. "Just take it as a vacation. I am also very curious. It is worth a try."
Chapter 136 Remnants
From Cairo all the way south, there are densely packed cities on both sides of the narrow Nile River, home to tens of millions of people.
Gringotts' Egyptian branch is located in Asyut, a major city in central Egypt, right in the middle of the route, with convenient transportation.
This is also the first stop of Lin En and his two companions' trip. They will go deep into the desert and explore the ancient mysteries buried in history books.
Unlike the mild climate in the UK, the average temperature in Egypt at this time is already above 25 degrees. Even on the banks of the Nile River, as long as the strong wind blows up the yellow sand, it is dry and hot.
After leaving the Gringotts branch and walking on the street, even Bill, who has worked here for many years, couldn't help but complain, but Lynn and Euphemia were not affected at all.
Bill was very envious, but after hearing the price he decisively chose to give up.
Rather than wizard robes that improve the quality of life, he prefers items with stronger practical effects, such as advanced runes worth three third-level achievements.
So far, there are only two people who walk beside him who are proficient in all twenty-four types of rune magic.
Thinking about his empty reserves, he silently clenched the rune in his hand.
He doesn't want such extravagant behavior!
The handsome ponytail fluttered in the wind, looking a little sad.
About half an hour later, with the help of the Floo Network, the three arrived at the ancient city of Luxor.
Adjacent to the ruins of Thebes and the Luxor Temple, it has numerous ancient relics and is not only a tourist attraction for Muggles, but also a paradise for many wizards.
Intricate magic rages in the wilderness, the result of thousands of years of accumulation, and the stability of the space is extremely poor.
Even Lin En didn't dare to use long-distance Apparition rashly. He could only rent three tall camels from a travel agency and go deep into the desert in the simplest way.
