Chapter 193 The Elder Scrolls
Lu Ren coughed: "My cat is actually a Siberian golden gradation cat. It's just that the food is very good, and it got a little fat. It has a certificate from the store."

Alice: "Okay, it really is a problem with this store, then I'll go to Diagon Alley to buy it."

Clerk:!
Shuzi is so brave!Humiliate me too much!He actually said in front of me that he was going to another place to buy pets, and it was fine to go to another place, but he still went to the one in Diagon Alley!
The clerk's eyes sharpened.

"Wait a minute!" He stopped Alice who was about to go out, "I still have several kinds of magical animals in my store, you can go after reading them!"

The clerk thought: It seems that ordinary animals cannot attract their attention, and all kinds of powerful magical animals are restricted by law and cannot be sold, so they can only win by surprise.Common animals such as owls and cats should not be embarrassing, but something that is at the bottom of the box.

"Look!" He took out a cage covered in black satin, then tore off the satin, revealing a dark, round, furry creature inside the cage.The creature was about the size of a bamboo rat, and looked like a big black mouse, but with a duck's mouth.It was stuffing a shiny bead into its stomach when the clerk pulled off the hijab.

"Sniff! You can usually see it in mines. They like shiny things. Goblins will use Sniff to dig for treasure. Newt Scamander raised a Sniff, and this Sniff helps him Defeated the mighty Dark Lord Grindelwald." The clerk excitedly introduced Xixiu, and at the end he lowered his voice, as if he was talking about a shocking secret.

Lu Ren was speechless, sir, it is not illegal to hide in the square, please be cautious in your words and deeds, if you continue to speak such nonsense, the water meter will be checked by the saints.

He was afraid that it would not be convincing to say so, so he opened the cage door, grabbed Xixiu out like lightning, then scratched its belly with one hand, and then giggled. It seemed that the clerk scratched its itchy flesh, and it tried hard to stretch out its short claws to protect its stomach, but its fat body and short claws made it more than enough.

After letting Xixiu show off its cuteness for a while, the clerk grabbed it by its two hind feet, then shook it, and a large pile of glittering fake jewelry fell out of its stomach with a crackling crackle.

Alice's eyes lit up: You can have this!After buying this, you can go treasure hunting everywhere!

Lu Ren had a bad premonition, Xixiu was not suitable to be kept as a pet at home, because it would destroy everything around it in search of shiny items.And this little fat man is very flexible, and Newt Scamander, who is good at dealing with magical animals, has to work hard to catch the escaped Niffler.

If it was easy to catch, the length of the Fantastic Beasts movie would be cut in half!
And you're hunting for treasure in your own castle, is it really interesting?Perhaps seeing the unhappiness of others, the clerk took out another big bottle, with a flame burning inside, and a small red lizard was rolling freely in the flame.

"This is a salamander that lives and feeds on flames. As long as the flame doesn't go out, it will continue to live. If you feed peppers to a salamander that leaves the flame regularly, it can live for up to six hours. This The variety of salamander is exclusively bred by us, and it can breathe fire! The color of the salamander will also change as the heat of the flame changes. This is only red, but when the flame is more vigorous, it will turn blue .”

Compared to Nixiu, salamanders are obviously more suitable for raising at home, so on the way home, Alice had a crystal bottle in her arms, which contained a flame and a salamander.

……

After returning from the Ministry of Magic, Lu Ren's life was back on track.Miss Alice is taught in the morning every morning, and after a hearty lunch at noon, there is a swordsmanship class in Girenu, and then a dinner that is even more hearty than lunch.In the evening, Lu Ren was completely at his disposal, and he usually spent his time in the library of Grelat's house.Of course, sometimes being entangled by Alice, he can only spend his time telling stories to children.

The library of the Grayrat family is definitely worthy of the name of its thousand-year-old pure-blood family. The oldest volume is even written on clay tablets in cuneiform characters!In addition to cuneiform writing, their family also has works of ancient Egypt and ancient Rome, but unfortunately, no one can understand what is said on it. After all, they are all dead writing. A peek at one or two—his ancestors didn’t understand this either, they all relied on guessing and asking, but the average wizard in ancient times was a riddle—the ancestor’s original words: I understand every word of what he said, even if they are connected together, the ghost knows what he is talking about , so these few precious treasures are like dust.

And what Lu Ren is looking at now is an ancient scroll collected by the Greyrat family—of course it is a translated version by later generations. A senior of the Greyrat family 80 years ago kindly translated it into French. This also allowed Lu Ren to get a glimpse of the mystery.

Contrary to Lu Ren's imagination, what is recorded in this scroll is not a powerful spell or a treasure trove, but more like a diary, which records the complaints of an ancient wizard.At that time, wizards were not the masters of the magical world. Goblins, elves, and dragons each had their place on the world stage, but wizards were more like supporting roles.

The weak body, the long growth period and the unremarkable mana after adulthood made the wizards once reduced to the bottom of the food chain in the magic world, but the wizards forced their way out of the world by virtue of their magic wands and numbers.This scroll was written during the rapid rise of wizards.

The owner of the scroll is an apprentice of a great mage, and he learns magic spells step by step on weekdays. As a result, one day, in the battle with the giant, he lost the girl he liked and the good friend he grew up with, so he Desire for power, desire to become stronger, even if you give everything.

His teacher told him that there are generally different ways of thinking about becoming stronger.One is to specialize in the research of magic and runes, and develop more powerful and treacherous spells to improve their strength.The second is to find a way to obtain the power of some powerful magical creatures, that is, to fuse the blood of magical animals-this method is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die miserably or become a monster.Of course, some wizards find another way, and have a relationship with some magical animals beyond friendship, so that their offspring will be born strong.The third is to cultivate feelings with magical animals, but this time it is not to give birth to offspring, but to drive magical animals to fight for themselves.The fourth is to study alchemy and make some powerful alchemical items to enhance combat effectiveness.The four methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, which makes the young wizard fall into confusion.

Lu Ren read it with great interest, but when he turned to the next page, he found that there was nothing there!The scrolls do not say which path the wizard chose.
