Hogwarts Wizard of the Deep

Chapter 36 The White Ship
Jane was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of Mrs. Pince, and then realized that she was still in the library. Hermione looked here with a worried expression.

"I..." Jane couldn't say a word for a long time, her face flushed red.

"I think you've disturbed quite a few people." Mrs. Pince's words seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Pince, we're leaving now." With that said, Lin pulled Jane's sleeve.

"By the way, ma'am. I want to borrow this book." He put away the lunch box Jane brought for himself.Then pick up that copy of The Mystery of Atlantis.

Then Linde stuffed the lunch box to Jane, who was a little confused, and put the books back in place one by one.

He put the books next to their respective bookcases, and then the books would automatically return to their original positions as if attracted. In less than a minute, he put all the books back.

At this time Mrs. Pince had returned to the door of the library, she continued to stare at the little wizards in the library, and her eyes softened when she saw Hermione.

Then she would become very wary when she saw some little wizards who seemed restless, for fear that they would mess up her books.

However, her eyes still often stay on Linde and Jane.

She didn't really intend to drive these two little wizards out, they might just discuss a certain issue suddenly, and then suddenly quarreled. It wasn't the first time she had encountered such a scene, so she just wanted to remind her.

Another thing she was worried about was Linde. She had been paying attention to this little wizard for a long time. He came to him in the morning to ask about related books, and he has never left here until now. She likes the little wizard who loves to read, but reading books for so long is not desirable.

She walked over just now, seeing Linde's bloodshot eyes and pale face, she suddenly had the idea of ​​driving this little guy out.

Since the little wizard said she wanted to go out, let her go out!
Then she glanced at Hermione again, thinking about how to gently persuade the little witch.

Linde took the book and came here to go through the borrowing procedures, and they walked out.

Before leaving, Mrs. Pince gently reminded him that although the stories in the book are beautiful, he should also pay attention to his body, too much is too much.

Linde quickly nodded in agreement, but he could see the worried thoughts under Mrs. Pince's stern face.

On the contrary, Jane, until she walked out of the library, she thought she was kicked out because she was too noisy.

But she didn't have any apologies to Linde, she just felt that she was too ashamed to be kicked out in such a large crowd.

But when they walked out of a short corridor, her mentality had adjusted, and she continued the previous topic.

"If I remember correctly, some conjectures about Atlantis were only proven at the end of the last century.

And if you look at this book, it looks like it was a product of the eighteenth century, and even some of the words in it are only from this century..."

As Jane talked, things got more and more wrong.Linde seemed to have heard a question as well.

"No, this looks like an old book from the [-]th century! How come there are so many relatively new remarks." Jane snatched the book from Linde's hand.

"You mean, this looks like an old book, but it's actually a new one?" Linde asked tentatively.

"Yes, many books at that time were written using rat skin and sibilant iron branches for the convenience of preservation. Books made in this way can be preserved for hundreds or thousands of years.

But at the beginning of the twentieth century there were new techniques for printing magical books that were easier to preserve and reproduce.So this technology is long gone. "Jane turned the pages of the book again and looked at the contents above.

"Little tooth mouse and cycad iron tree?" Linde asked suspiciously.

"Yes, this is a very old technology. The skin of the rat is very thick, coupled with the dipping of the iron tree branches of the cypress, the written content will never fall off like a tattoo." Jane explained.

"However, this technology has been innovated in this century, and because this technology has seriously endangered the production of rats and cycads, no one has used it for a long time." Jane continued to explain.

These touched Linde's knowledge blind spot, so he simply didn't bother Jane, but let her continue thinking.

The two just stood at the corner of the corridor, maintaining a quiet state.

Jane picked up a page with two fingers, and gently rubbed the pads of her fingers on it.

"This is not the kind of fang mouse skin I've seen, it's other animal skins." Jane said in a low voice.

As she rubbed, a small crack gradually opened in the middle of the page.

"Give me some light!" Jane squinted her eyes as hard as she could, but most of the light in Hogwarts came from the ubiquitous candles, so she still couldn't see clearly in many places, so she could only call Lin Germany.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Linde drew out his wand and softly released a fluorescent spell.With the arrival of the light, he also saw the small crack.

Jane saw the small crack, and strengthened the strength of rubbing her hands, and the crack gradually became bigger.

One page gradually turned into two. Among the hidden pages, there was content scrawled in unknown blue ink. It could be seen that there were a lot of alterations on it, and there were also large strings of unsegmented sentences.

"This actually has a mezzanine?!"

"This actually has a mezzanine?!"

The two said this in unison.

"Go on!" Linde hurriedly urged, he was anxious to see if the other pages of the book could also be divided into two.

Jane picked up the other pages of the book and repeated the same trick, and then she sat directly on the steps.

Linde maintained a fluorescent spell, and the white light spread from the tip of his staff. The two sat on the steps of the castle like this, and the occasional passers-by just walked away quickly.

After a while, the two divided the whole book into two parts.

Contrary to what Linde thought at first, only some pages of this whole book can be separated into two parts.

And the contents of the separated interlayer were full of things written in blue ink. Judging from this appearance, it should be something like a manuscript.

In this way, an extra manuscript of about three or four pages appeared in the original "Mysterious Atlantis".

Jane was also very curious about the contents. She overturned the first page of the manuscript, pushed the book towards Linde, and then read it in the corridor.

"My name is Bashir Elton, and I inherited my father and grandfather's job as a lightkeeper at the North Point Lighthouse. ... I must write down this story that I personally experienced.

Since I came back, I began to gradually forget that period of time. My head was muddled. Every night, I listened to the sound of the waves rolling and beating outside. These sounds gradually turned into unknown ravings and reached my ears. Say: forget it, forget it. "

"Bashir, the author of this book." Jane murmured in a low voice, although the letters on this manuscript are extremely difficult to read, and the author's cultural literacy is not high, so it is very difficult for them to read.

And there should be problems with his mental state when writing this manuscript.Linde added another one in his mind.

"...my grandfather told me: Once upon a time, a large fleet of white sails would come from a distant coastline, with the warmth of the sun on the eastern coast still on board, and the sweet fragrance from strange gardens and gorgeous temples.

One day, when the full moon was falling high above the sky, I boarded a strange ship with white sails, and a man on board invited me to sail with him to the beautiful unknown shore..."
