Conquest knights from Hogwarts

Chapter 90 An Invitation Letter for Expedition
Mr. Zhang's study room is next to the living room, but after closing the solid wooden door, the sound of talking outside was completely blocked. When he came to his own little world, Mr. Zhang seemed to recover a little with a sigh of relief. strength.

"Grow up, grow up"

He sighed, although he offered Ron a seat in the soft armchair.

"But my heart still hurts."

He moaned weakly, and then smiled apologetically at Ron: "I made you laugh, but when you become a father and have a daughter in the future, I think you should be able to understand me, uncle."

"I'm still early." Ron scratched the back of his head speechlessly. Although he was a little stronger, did he look so old?I have at least ten years before I get married and have children.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, I heard from Qiu that you are an ancient philologist?"

In fact, the current situation made Ron very happy. Didn't he come here just to ask questions?

"Well, then I participated in the compilation of the textbooks on ancient runes and runes at Hogwarts, and I am one of the authors, but you are only in the first grade, and I remember that the elective courses only started in the third grade?"

Mr. Zhang, who didn't study at Hogwarts, doesn't know much about the curriculum there, but Qiu is a sophomore this year, so he still knows something.

"Well, that's right, but I found two books during the holidays, one of which is about alchemy, it should be a book from a long time ago, the text on it is full of runes and ancient runes, I study I read it for a while, and I also went through the relevant textbooks, but I couldn’t even understand a single page.”

"Really!" Mr. Zhang looked at Ron happily after hearing the news. Although the ancient runes are powerful and contain countless mysteries, they can now be discarded and simplified into systematic spells. The magic is released, and those cumbersome ancient characters are almost useless.

Only unpopular but highly professional occupations such as Gringotts Curse Breaker need relevant knowledge. It is really rare to meet a child who likes ancient runes. Medicine and other subjects that are highly practical and easy to find a job after graduation.

"Did you bring that book? Let me have a look." After speaking, Mr. Zhang stood up, and while searching for books in the bookshelf, he said to Ron: "Alchemy was developed a long time ago." It was disassembled, after all, it was too complicated, and the reason why alchemy was abandoned was that it had to use ancient runes very frequently, and as far as getting started, its threshold was quite high."

"I have a few books about alchemy at home. When I first came into contact with English runes, I translated a few of them when I was practicing. After all, these books are very cheap, and they are sold as waste paper in second-hand bookstores. Sickle a pound."

"Well, that's it."

Mr. Zhang put down on the table a number of translated books with basic covers such as "The Essence of Making the Philosopher's Stone", "The Creation and Birth of the Philosopher's Stone", "The Mystery of Immortality".

"The name sounds bluffing, but they are all fake. The books I bought were about 600 years ago. At that time, Nicole Flamel had just made the Philosopher's Stone. People at that time were looking for the Philosopher's Stone. At the peak, a large number of books on how to refine the Philosopher's Stone appeared. In order to win people's trust, they often used a lot of obscure words that make people feel very mysterious. This is good news for my research. , Only when there are challenges will you progress faster, but there are also a lot of made-up words mixed in."

"If you are interested in these, you can read them as a reference book. I have compared the original text with the translation one by one. You can understand it more intuitively when you are studying. The sentence composition of ancient magic text is very complicated. Once the positions of two words are replaced Maybe it means something else."

While Mr. Zhang was chattering, Ron dug out the book "Alchemy: From Introductory to Burial" from his space bag and put it on the table. quill.

"Wow~"

"This is really rare!"

At first Ron thought it was the Thunderbird quill, but Mr. Zhang reached out and picked up the book.

"There are really not many alchemy books that are so well preserved. This should be the collection of a certain wizard family." Mr. Zhang opened the cover and checked it carefully, "Although there is no signature, but this family I seem to have some impression of the badge. Where did you see it?"

"Let me look for it later. I remember I saw it a few days ago. I received an invitation to the ruins. There seems to be a similar pattern in it."

After searching in the safe for a long time, Mr. Zhang took out a document wrapped in a brown paper bag, and he took out one of them, and compared them carefully.

"That's right! That's it!"

"The Elric family!"

"This is the Legendary Alchemist: One of the books collected by the Edward Elric family, but their family has long since disappeared into history. The lives they touched that were absolutely untouchable were forged, and eventually led to destruction. Then It is a field where human beings cannot interfere, it is a taboo among taboos, a taboo alchemy that revives the dead!"

Mr. Zhang, who propped up the table and spoke excitedly, had a frenzy in his eyes. The reason why he loves ancient rune texts is because he can read and analyze these ancient texts to touch and explore the remaining traces that have disappeared in history. , to take a look at the brilliant glory left by the glorious era.

Although today's magic world is still mysterious, compared to the past, it seems that today's magic world lacks a little bit of colorfulness. Magic brings more than convenience to people. Magic can do more and do more!
However, countless disasters caused by magic have made people more cautious. Before exploring the unknown and their own inheritance, they chose the latter. Although this is not shameful, it also leaves a great regret.

"Then did they succeed in the end? I mean the forbidden dead Su Sheng?"

"It succeeded! Of course it succeeded! But it also failed. If they didn't succeed, they would not be worthy of being legendary. But because they succeeded, they failed, disappeared from the world, and were buried in history."

"By the way, is this a gift for me?"

Mr. Zhang pointed to the Thunderbird quill on the table, and asked Ron with a smile. At this moment, he began to like this big little wizard more and more.

"Of course, it's embarrassing to come here empty-handed. Happy New Year, Uncle Zhang."

"Happy New Year." Mr. Zhang picked up the quill and looked at it carefully. "It's a great gift. Thunderbird feathers are hard to come by. After all, they are extremely fierce and magical creatures that can move freely in the thunderclouds. Soar, drive thunder and lightning."

"Then, as a gift in return, please accept this."

Mr. Zhang took out a piece of hard and exquisite cardboard from the kraft paper bag he took out earlier, and then dipped the quill pen sent by Ron with ink to write a string of words on it.

"Would you like to take part in the expedition? My friends have found an ancient ruin, which is what I just said. It is an ancient ruin related to the Elric family. Don't worry, it is still in the preparation stage. If you have summer vacation Empty words."

Mr. Zhang put the written invitation in front of Ron, "I think it will be a very interesting journey of exploration."

"Of course! Thank you very much for this opportunity! I would love it."

This unexpected surprise made Ron overjoyed. He was no less curious about the mystery of the magic world than anyone else. The invitation to this adventure completely ignited the blood in Ron's heart. No matter when and where, The word "adventure" always makes people's hearts surge. After all, he is a Gryffindor, a Gryffindor to the core.

"Then it's settled. If your parents have doubts, I can go over and talk to them. At least in terms of safety, my friends and I can make a guarantee."

"But if possible, I also hope that you, Ron, will take the time to study the ancient runes. When exploring in the field, discovering those unknown mysteries by yourself will make people feel more happy."

As he spoke, Mr. Zhang took out a few books from under the desk.

"This is an introductory reference book on ancient runes written by me. It has passed the Ministry of Magic's inspection. Maybe when you are in the third grade, they will be the textbooks in the ancient runes class."

Cedric chatted enthusiastically outside, but Ron also benefited a lot in the study. After talking about ancient runes and alchemy, Ron also asked about the East.

"Although the Philosopher's Stone can prolong human life, it is not the only thing that has such an effect. In Europe, the blood donated voluntarily by unicorns can also prolong human life to a certain extent. There is a unique thing in history. The Horned Beast Knight, he lived for more than 270 years, and there are also in the East, the first emperor extended his life for [-] years, and since the Central Plains, he has slashed barbarians and ruled the world, sweeping all directions."

"My country is called Huaxia, and it is located in the eastern land. It is as big as eighty Englands, and it runs from east to west, from north to south!"

"Different from England and other places, in China, the power of magic has never been isolated from the world. They just hide in the city, known but unknown to others."

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go out, it's time for dinner now."

"The new year is here."

Standing at the window, Mr. Zhang cast his eyes on the far east, which is where his hometown is.

But it wasn't the place Ron was familiar with.
