The autumn wind blows, and the deciduous trees begin to be blown off their yellow clothes.Late red berries from the Forbidden Forest hang like coral beads from the bushes, attracting mischievous little unicorns.

"To be honest, I thought my Patronus would be a unicorn." Wendy said to herself as she combed its golden hair, "Or something like a panda. But I didn't expect..."

The little unicorn opened its big innocent eyes, and licked Wendy's palm with its tongue covered in pulp.Wendy had to perform a cleanup to get rid of the red juice, and then continued to comb the naughty child as if nothing happened. "The Ravenclaw eagle is also very good. Although I think the birds are not as comfortable as the fluffy and soft mammals, the eagle is really good." Her voice gradually lowered, "It can replace me who can't fly and embrace the blue sky ..."

Wendy and the little unicorn, one with fur and the other chewing snacks, waited for an hour before seeing the confused mother who had lost her child rushing out from the depths of the forbidden forest.White and flawless unicorns also have relatively flamboyant personalities. For example, the hot mom in front of her almost gave her baby a hoof when she raised her front legs.

The little unicorn is used to skin, so he hurriedly went up to give his mother a hug and kiss, and finally had to go home obediently under the threat of his mother's hoof.

Wendy watched them go away.At this time, the red clouds in the west have gradually faded, and the stars are twinkling in the clear sky.The edge of the Forbidden Forest became dark, and the overlapping shadows of the trees were eerie and frightening.At this time, the necessary benefits of the patron saint's home travel are reflected.

The silver-white bird of prey soared into the sky, diligently illuminating the way for Wendy.It seems to be in the prime of life, with a wingspan of more than two meters, sharp claws like hooks, and eyes like arrows. Even the half-empty and half-solid shadows can see the edges and corners of its body.

In addition to obeying the orders of the master, the Patronus has a keener perception of black magic.Wendy only needs to give an order to "go to a place where the power of darkness is weaker", and then she can comfortably paddle behind the Patronus.One person and one bird went around, and after a while, they saw the orange lights of Hogwarts Castle in the distance.

Suddenly, in the twilight ahead, a second silver-white patron saint appeared.

Startled, Wendy grabbed the wand first in her pocket.

It was a slender four-hoofed animal with two long horns on its head.It seemed to be looking for something in the grass by the lake. When it saw Wendy's eagle, it jumped up and ran, and disappeared behind the bushes in a few strokes.

Agile beyond imagination.

Wendy stood where she was, looking at the direction in which the patron saint disappeared, but finally failed to follow.She put a night vision spell on her eyes, and slowly circled on the grass where the Patronus had stayed, and within 10 minutes she found the target.

A small prayer wheel.The prayer wheel is newly made, and the metal is polished smooth by magic power, and even the shaft part is perfectly fitted.

Tibetan antelopes and prayer wheels are just as transparent in Wendy's eyes.Who else but a new classmate from Tibet?

This is really, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day.

Yeshe Gyatso was sitting in a corner of the common room doing homework.It was already one o'clock in the morning, and even the Ravenclaw students, who were known for their studiousness, had gone to bed one after another.So he was left alone by the fireplace.The flames lit up his dark cheeks.

At this moment, a hand-operated prayer wheel was gently placed on the table, and it happened to fall on the edge of his sight.He raised his head abruptly, and saw the blond-haired, blue-eyed girl calmly removing her hand from the prayer wheel.

"Is this something you lost? I saw your Patronus looking for it by the lake."

Yeshe Gyatso looked at her sullenly for about 5 seconds before slowly taking the prayer wheel in his hand and groping around skillfully, as if checking for damage. "You really know everything."

Wendy didn't speak.

"My roommate told me that Carter is the smartest thing in Ravenclaw, there is nothing she doesn't know."

"I just have a wider range of knowledge than others."

"I have never shown my patron saint in front of people, nor have I shown this little thing." He raised his hand and shook the prayer wheel twice, "How do you know me?"

Wendy hesitated for a moment, probably thinking about the shame of the next action.But she put her palms together in front of her chest and said softly, "Tashi Dele." Note【1】

The boy gave a "puchi" laugh, showing his white teeth.This was the first time Wendy saw him smile. "'Tashi Dele' is the word that mortals—in your terms, Tibetan Muggles—they use to say hello. And they practice Buddhism, which is totally different from us."

Wendy put her hands down embarrassingly, and humbly asked for advice: "Then what do you use to say hello?"

Yeshe Gyatso's smile froze.Wendy realized that she might have touched the sad memory of the other party, but before she could say a word of relief, the other party had already said: "We use 'Yesi Wangchuk'." Note【2】

"Yissi..."

"Yes, it's 'Yesi' in my name. It means 'wisdom' in Tibetan." He laughed again, but this time it was a forced smile. "You know Tibet very well?"

"I don't know about it, but I have been there." Seeing Yeshe Gyatso's surprised expression, Wendy patched up her words calmly, "It was a long time ago, my father is a mountaineering hobby By."

"Your father?"

"He's gone."

"Feel sorry."

Wendy got up and tapped the fireplace with her wand, and the flames turned green.Then the big head of the elf appeared in the green flames. "Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Carter."

"Butter, cheese, black tea, and some cookies."

In less than a minute, a large tray filled with food appeared on the table with a "bang".Wendy mixed the milk and black tea together, and added kosher salt to it. "Magic is very practical sometimes." She pushed the stirred mixture in front of Yeshe Gyatso, "Whenever I miss a certain taste, magic can always meet my requirements."

Yeshe Gyatso picked up the cup and took a sip. It was butter tea, almost the same taste as the one in Tibetan areas.

"Go to bed early." Wendy walked towards the corridor of the girl's bedroom with a cup of buttered tea in her hand. "Although there will be no class tomorrow morning, staying up late is not a good habit."

Now is not a good time to ask questions, Wendy knows the truth that haste makes waste.Only by building a good relationship with the new classmates first can we go deeper into clichés.What she is most curious about now is the words on the hand-operated prayer wheel.That is not Tibetan.Although Wendy doesn't understand Tibetan, she knows that Tibetan is a phonetic script (Note [3]), and the one engraved on Yeshe Gyatso's prayer wheel is a pictographic script, just like... ...like runes.

From then on, Wendy kept one eye on Yeshe Gyatso's rune results.

"In the previous lessons, we have learned how ancient wizards used magic words to keep warm in winter. In addition to correctly writing words such as sunshine, warmth, and flames, we also need to arrange them in a downstream manner so as not to cause magic gaps. cancel each other out. So, does anyone know how the downstream runes of the cooling runes are arranged?" Professor Rune smiled and looked at the children in the classroom.

This topic is beyond the outline.

The rune syllabus and exams all focus on translation, which looks like archeology and history.As for how to use runes to cast spells, whether to teach or not depends entirely on the wishes of the professor.Fortunately, Professor Babling, who teaches Runes, is a young and enterprising person, and he is never stingy in demonstrating the practical functions of Runes in class.

Pince was biting the tip of her pen. Her translation was not bad, but she was blinded when she mentioned the rune spells.The rest of the students are no better than her: everyone can use a single rune to cast a spell; two or three runes can be arranged and combined, try all the possibilities, and always find the most powerful one; but if How about seven or eight runes?Then it is necessary to use the connection laws such as downstream type, countercurrent type, alternating current type, and circular flow type.This is not the same as the magic text grammar. It is not for the smoothness of the meaning, but for the smooth operation of the magic power.

But Wendy said that these four connectivity rules are still weak. If it involves a large-scale rune array composed of hundreds of runes, it still needs the calling and nesting of these four structures.If you have to make an analogy, writing a rune array is like programming. There are only three basic structures: sequence, branch, and loop. But in a large program, it is not normal to have a nested branch structure in the middle of four or five loops.

However, the current magic text class only teaches letters, and even the simplest "programming statements" are super-syllabus content, let alone writing "ultra-large programs".

Wendy wrote out the five cooling runes in a few strokes according to the downstream rules.After finishing the writing, she was still not satisfied, so she continued to write, and wrote [-] in one breath, and the parchment began to frost, so she only took a few strokes to erase the previous content.Repeatedly, the temperature dropped and heated up alternately, and finally this poor parchment was completely tossed into pieces.

At this time, Professor Babling, who had been standing on the podium for a long time and hadn't seen anyone raise their hands, had to start the roll call.

"Well, Mr. Black?"

Alphard: ... "Sorry, Professor, I won't. Perhaps, 'Ice' should be placed before 'North Wind'?"

"'Ice' is behind 'North Wind.'"

"Sorry, Professor."

"Okay, okay." Teacher Babling pinched the bridge of her nose, "This is too difficult for you. Sit down, Mr. Black. The downstream arrangement of the cooling runes will be regarded as today's class assignment, if anyone If he can answer well, I will give him an E or above at the end of the semester.”

Wendy blinked, and this movement was captured by the professor.She was immediately happy: "It seems that at least one student in our class can answer it."

Actually two.Besides Wendy, Yeshe Gyatso also answered.

Tom also got one order wrong, but Yeshe Gyatso, who had only taken the magic text class for two months, got all the answers right.

Wendy thought in her heart that the Tibetan wizard group that Yeshe Gyatso belongs to is probably a tribe that uses runes.Referring to the pattern on the prayer wheel, they will use more runes than the runes of the Western wizarding world.

But what is the relationship between wizards far in the east and runes?She seems to be able to know the two ends of the clue, but she can't connect the middle.

Note [1]: Tibetan, good luck.The most well-known blessings.

Note [2]: Tibetan, wisdom lasts forever.

Note [3]: Pinyin characters, also called phonetic characters, can be approximately regarded as a concept opposite to pictographic characters.Written records pronunciation, can write and read, but does not have pictographic function.Most of the characters used in countries around the world are phonetic characters, including English, French, Arabic, Russian and so on.
