Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 448

Listening to the old druid's decisive words, Scott remained silent.

An uneasiness surged in his heart.

Because some things seem too coincidental.

He happened to get that piece of animal skin this summer vacation, and he knew the adventure stories that had been passed down thousands of years ago, so he just happened to use it now.

Was it really just his luck?
At this time, he heard the old druid ask him, "Why, are you scared, kid."

Scott looked up at him.

"It's normal to be afraid." The old druid looked at him and said, "Because we druids have never thought of going there to recover the heart of the sacred tree for thousands of years."

Savanna on the side frowned, "It seems that we can only wait for that guy Aaron to come out of the shelter of the sacred tree, I don't know if it's too late..."

The old druid glanced at her, and said mercilessly: "It depends on luck. If Aaron hasn't recovered when Slytherin walks out of the Holy Land, he will lose his recovery forever." The possibility of ... However, even so, it is his own fault."

Savanna's eyes widened in surprise, "How could it be..."

The old druid said: "Slytherin will only violently break through the passage, which will cause further damage to the holy tree, and Aaron, who is sheltered by the power of the holy tree, cannot avoid it."

"I..." Savannah glanced at Scott, then turned to face her grandfather, "I think I can be responsible for finding the heart of the sacred tree."

The old druid shook his head.

"You want to save your brother and this kid." He glared at Scott, "but I won't agree. You are the new priest, and you have your own responsibilities."

Savannah wanted to say something else, but the old druid waved her hand directly.

"Give up, you can't guarantee that you can walk out of there safely."

He looked at Scott again.

"I've already told you what I need to say. You can decide what to do. Before you make a decision, don't come to the Sea of ​​Oaks again."

As he said that, he had already assumed the posture of seeing off the guests.

"Grandfather." Savannah looked at him dissatisfied.

The old druid's baggy eyelids drooped, blocking his view.

"Sawanna, my granddaughter. You should understand that the moment you officially become a priest, you have lost the qualification to marry foreigners."

Savannah's face instantly turned red.

"No...not...what nonsense are you talking about, grandfather!"

"You should know it yourself." The old druid said coldly.

The conversation between the grandparent and grandson made Scott extremely embarrassed.

He bowed politely to the old druid, "Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Doherty, I will think it over carefully."

"Ahem, then, let's go."

Professor Flitwick held out his hand, allowing Scott to hold him back.

Scott nodded, and put his hand on Professor Flitwick's arm, "Goodbye, Mr. Doherty, and Savannah, thank you for your help."

Rimbaud also flew up and landed on Professor Flitwick's shoulder.

At this time, the old Druid suddenly said, "I forgot to remind you, here, you can't use magic to fly around."

It seems to mean banning apparation.

Scott held out his hand, letting Professor Flitwick and Rimbaud touch the silver snake necklace on his hand.

The door key was activated, and they instantly came from the sea of ​​oaks in Ireland to the forest in the Scottish Highlands.

"Oh, here is..."

Professor Flitwick looked up and looked around, surprised at the crows living here.

Scott explained to him, "This is in the forest outside the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, Professor."

He touched Rimbaud who was resting on his shoulder.

"Rimbaud has become the king of crows in the forest, so all the crows have gathered here."

"It's incredible," said Professor Flitwick, laughing.

Scott enlarged Rimbaud's size and let it carry himself and Professor Flitwick back to Hogwarts.

Then they came to Professor Flitwick's office, sat on the sofa, drank tea and chatted.

Scott took out the blank picture frame that he carried with him, called Ravenclaw's portrait, and told her what happened today.

"...In short, it's different from what we imagined." He said, "We haven't been able to meet the rest of the Doherty family."

Professor Flitwick said, "For druids, this is considered normal. At least Mr. Doherty, who has the highest status in the family, is willing to share that matter with us. It's a pity..."

The professor sighed.

Scott understood his unspoken words.

It's a pity that although Savannah's grandfather tended to take the initiative and was willing to open the passage, the passage could not be opened due to objective reasons.

"A tower that extends toward the center of the earth?" Ravenclaw shook his head. "Even I have only heard the relevant legends. In the past, I didn't even take this story seriously."

"My opinion is that you'd better not take the risk, Scott," said Professor Flitwick.

"I……"

Scott remembered what Luna had said to him.

"You really should go, but the Sea of ​​Oaks is not the end of your journey."

Perhaps, he will indeed go to the Tower of Earth's Core Extension.

"You still have a lot of time to think about, Scott." Ravenclaw's voice came, "Don't forget, according to the written records on that animal skin, you need to be able to get your hair on the longest day of the year. Enter that damned tower."

Professor Flitwick said immediately, "Oh, the longest day of the year is June 6st! You'll have to wait until next summer to get a chance!"

"Island of the Far North Isles, on the longest day of the day, where the shadow of the standing stone points."

Scott read the directional sentence.

He didn't delve into it before, but looking at it now...

"The shadow of the standing stone will also change during the day, what is this sentence..."

"If not specified, it should be the direction where the shadow points when the sun rises." Ravenclaw said.

Scott said, "I don't think that day needs to pass. According to the relevant knowledge, the position of the shadow on that day can be calculated."

Ravenclaw in the painting shook his head, "Since the date is emphasized, it means that the entrance to the Tower of the Damned will only appear on that day. Of course, you can also try to find it."

Scott turned to look at Professor Flitwick.

"Oh, I can go with you." Professor Flitwick said kindly.

So after lunch, Scott was led by Professor Flitwick to Melanne Island with Apparition.

They searched for an afternoon near the Standing Stone of Stenness, and even spread the scope to a range of 5 kilometers around the Standing Stone, including Lake Stenness and Lake Harry connected by the Standing Stone, and Brodgage, another prehistoric site not far away Stone circle, but still nothing.

Even though Scott checked every inch of the land around the standing stone with his magical perception, he still didn't find anything abnormal.

Looking up at the wind-eroded boulders, Scott could only confirm that the guess that the Ravenclaw mentor said was correct.

"Don't be disheartened, child." Professor Flitwick patted his arm. "Remember, the prophecy reveals your victory, so stay optimistic no matter what."

Scott breathed a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted his mentality.

"I see, thank you, Professor."

He didn't want to go back to Hogwarts, so he begged Professor Flitwick to send him to London.

Hearing that he was going to visit Roger again in St. Mungo, Professor Flitwick also came to Roger's ward with him.

At this time Roger has woken up.

"Oh, Scott, Professor!"

Although Roger is still a little listless, he seems to be acting as usual.

"We're getting ready to be discharged."

Roger's father, Mr Davies, said.

Professor Flitwick, who just came to see him, expressed concern for Roger and left soon, while Scott went to his house as a guest at the invitation of Roger and Mr. Davis.

"It felt like I was running around all summer."

In the car, Scott said to Roger.

"I lived at Weasley's before, and now I'm going to live at yours."

Mr. Davies laughed and said, "Oh, you are all welcome to our house, and Roger's mother has long wanted to see you."

After arriving at Davis' home, Scott was indeed warmly received by Mrs. Davis.

In the evening, Roger went to bed early, and Scott stayed alone in the guest room of Davis's house.

With nothing to do, he lay on the bed and began to organize his magic in his head.

First is the spell.

His magic talent and level are not top-notch.

Although he has learned and used quite a few spells, he doesn't have any signature spells he is really good at.

In all the battles, whether it was head-to-head combat or assassination and sneak attack, he relied more on the transformation spell that he was good at.

Once, he arbitrarily divided his ideal transfiguration into four stages, but now he is undoubtedly in the third stage.

He has been able to freely combine the effects of Transfiguration and Rune Circuit, or spells, and can instantly create this superimposed magic.

In the process of studying with Ravenclaw's mentor, he also gained a lot of rune circuits with different effects.

It's just that it hasn't been sorted out all the time, and due to the limitation of magic power, this knowledge has not yet fully formed the corresponding combat effectiveness.

Mingming had already planned to take the "summoner" route, but all along, his real partner was Rimbaud.

The other "summoned beasts" are instantly deformed and destroyed after use.

Maybe he should think about it, and design a few more useful "summoned beasts" as he did for Rimbaud at the beginning, and make some relatively fixed collocations to deal with various situations.

Thinking of this, Scott sat up from the bed, took out his notebook and pen, and started to design.

The first is Fire Raven.

The Fire Crow, which he had used many times before, was very useful, so he decided to keep it.

But in order to avoid recreating a new fire crow with the transformation technique every time, he decided to set the attribute of sleeping for this "summoned beast".

When they are not needed to fight, they fall into a deep sleep, no longer produce fire, and are even the same as dead things.

Perhaps, we also need to find a material that is more suitable for flames...

Of course, like Rimbaud, set some memories for them.

Scott thought about it, and decided to set only the smartest Firecrow as the leader.

The rest of the fire crows don't need much wisdom, they just need to obey orders, just like Rimbaud leading the crows to fight.

"Now that Rimbaud is here, let's have another Poe."

He quickly decided on the name of Lord Firecrow, and began to compile stories belonging to Edgar Allan Poe.

Of course, with his current magic power, he still can't create products of the same level as Rimbaud, so he decided to wait until he drank the magic potion before trying.

It took more than an hour for Scott to set up the fire attribute "summoned beast", and decided to add another water attribute.

After recalling the water attribute rune circuit he had mastered, he quickly had an idea.

He took out another notebook and flipped through it quickly.

"Maybe these two rune circuits can be combined..."

The two water-attribute rune circuits he selected, one he called [Water Prison] and the other he called [Water Knife].

Of course, they were not originally called such names, but in order to facilitate memory and organization, he gave all rune circuits new names that are clear at a glance.

It's like the rune circuit used by the fire crow, which originally came from the secret recipe of the [Ring of Arson], and was later called [Fire Wire] by him.

In this way, he put aside the settings and became obsessed with trying new rune circuit combinations.

If he can combine the effects of [Water Prison] and [Water Knife], he will be able to obtain a "summoned beast" that can be attacked, defended and controlled...

It was almost noon when Scott woke up the next day.

When he came to Davis's house for the first time, he had a long sleep, which made Scott quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, after going downstairs, he only saw Roger at home alone.

"What were you doing last night, brother?" Roger asked curiously, "I heard from my dad that he saw the light in the guest room was still on when he got up to go to the bathroom at three o'clock in the morning."

Scott pulled out his notebook and opened it for him to read.

"Oh, take it away, I get dizzy when I see them."

Roger lost interest when he saw the densely packed ancient runes in the notebook.

"Maybe I should have been sorted into Hufflepuff," he said.

Scott disapproves: "While you don't have overt Ravenclaw traits, you're much less of a Hufflepuff."

"Hey! You know I'm just joking!" Roger said grudgingly.

Scott shrugged, "I'm joking too. Well, you're not lacking in wisdom, but maybe you're not so obsessed with something, or hobbies, it's because you're different from other Ravenclaws. The place."

Roger asked, "Am I not crazy enough about Quidditch?"

Scott raised his eyebrows, "Everyone loves Quidditch, and you're not obsessed enough to consider Quidditch as a career in the future."

"Well, I admit you're right," Roger said with a grin, "but I'm still a Ravenclaw."

"No one said you weren't."

Scott took out another notebook and asked Roger to give his "summoned beast" comments.

"At present, only two types have been identified..."

"Hey, it's like playing a video game." Roger was very interested in Scott's pictures and texts. "Why are they all animals? If it were me, I would design a beautiful girl who could fight side by side with me." !"

"You should know that Transfiguration cannot conjure humans."

"Well, that's a pity, tsk tsk, that's a good design, but I think..."

Scott spent the last few days of the summer at the Davis home.

After Eddie knew about it, he often ran over to play with them.

Three days before school started, Milton finally returned to England, and they went to Diagon Alley together to buy new textbooks.

With the arrival of September 9st, a new school year begins.
