The Admiral of Hogwarts

#197 - Ancient Runic

After thoroughly ransacking the entire treasure room, Hugo and the others began discussing the future arrangements for the island.

Considering that everyone who knew the details of this place before, except for Grindelwald himself, was dead, and Grindelwald wouldn't possibly reveal this matter to others, this island could be regarded as a very secretive location.

"I think this place can serve as a temporary anchorage for us," Enterprise suggested her opinion. "At least when we need to go to the far sea to find something, having such an anchorage can be of great use."

"That's right," Saint George also chimed in to support. "More importantly, we don't need to worry about being discovered by others in this kind of place. So we can build a real port area."

The real port area in the ship girls' minds isn't just a few small docks; it's a large-scale architectural system with logistics, maintenance, supply, and defense facilities.

According to the ship girls' standards, such a port area should be able to independently resist the deep sea for six hours without the support of ship girls when facing ordinary deep-sea offensives.

And if the deep-sea offensive is commanded by a boss-level deep sea like Purple Cabbage, the port area must also withstand it for 30 minutes on its own.

"But this island is only the size of four football fields. Even if you hollow it out, I don't think it can provide much space," Hugo interjected immediately, hearing the ship girls discussing the construction of the port area.

"That's enough, my dear Admiral," Odin, the expert in this area, said, leaning on a frame in his weakened state.

"The port area you knew before was actually built when there was ample space, so we needed to consider the state of our warships, and naturally, the area was very large, similar to a real naval port."

"But in reality, we also have a type of port area that only accommodates ship girl states, and the area of this place is just suitable for the construction of such a port area."

Soon, the ship girls began discussing the construction of the first fully functional port area in this world in the Admiral Network, and at the same time, they did not stop sorting out this underground base.

In just over two hours, they came up with a detailed document on the construction of the new port area and completed the cleanup of the entire port area.

However, to Hugo's surprise, his system told him that he now had 3200 Galleons in wealth, so he could obtain a powerful skill.

"Why did I suddenly get more than two thousand Galleons?" Hugo immediately called out Victory to inquire. "Could this money be related to my treasure hunt in this base just now?"

"Admiral, you're right, these should be your spoils of war," Victory, the size of a palm, suddenly appeared on Hugo's shoulder and said to him.

"Because the aura buff you provided to everyone in this operation wasn't very important, only a small portion of the spoils of war belonging to you were recognized by the system."

"This amount is already a lot," Hugo was quite satisfied with this money.

Think about the Triwizard Tournament, a life-risking competition that took a whole school year to get 1000 Galleons. It's obvious that I've made a lot of money by getting twice the spoils of war after only being busy for a few days.

"Hugo, what are you thinking about?" In the cottage belonging to Mrs. Granger's father in Narvik, Hermione put the playing cards aside and looked at Hugo with concern.

"I feel like you've been a little abnormal these past few days. Although you look no different from usual, I always feel a little strange when you're doing things."

This was already the second day after Hugo and the others returned from that island. The night before, Hugo took advantage of the fact that his family was still asleep and switched back his identity with Emden, who had been replacing him here before.

"I think it's because of the weather here," Hugo said, looking at the dim sky outside. "It's not the same as Oslo in the south. There's only a short period of sunshine every day, so it might have affected me."

"How do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Hearing Hugo say this, Hermione immediately leaned over and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, sis," Hugo shook his head with an indifferent smile. "It's just that the environment is too dark, so it makes people feel sleepy. I think I should recover after drinking a cup of tea later."

It must be said that Hermione's observation is indeed amazing, especially after living with Hugo for more than ten years. Any small changes in her twin brother can be quickly discovered.

Therefore, even when Emden was imitating Hugo these past two days, even if the two could connect through the Admiral Network, some subtle differences in some places still couldn't hide from Hermione.

Fortunately, Emden could directly absorb the Polyjuice Potion stuffed into the ship's equipment space, so he didn't induce suspicion because of the problem of having to replenish the Polyjuice Potion every hour.

However, even so, Hugo still needs to find a reasonable excuse to make an explanation for his abnormality in the past few days that at least sounds reasonable.

Fortunately, the Narvik area has a polar night phenomenon in winter because it is very far north. So Hugo can use this excuse to brush off the problem.

But also because of this reason, except for the first day they arrived here, carrying guns and wandering in the forest for more than an hour, and returning empty-handed, the arrangements for this period of time have mainly been skiing and practicing shooting at a shooting range.

In addition to this, everyone spent most of their time reading books or playing some simple small games. According to Mr. Granger, it was feeling a kind of tranquility that was rarely felt before in this edge of civilization.

"To be honest, I didn't feel much of the tranquility that Dad said," Hermione said, after realizing that her brother was indeed okay. "But I think this time is a good time to study."

"Okay, I understand," Hearing this, Hugo immediately understood what his sister wanted to do. So he put away the playing cards and took a book from his backpack to read.

Just a few minutes later, taking advantage of the fact that his sister was already immersed in the ocean of knowledge, Hugo immediately shifted his attention from the book and transferred it to the knowledge in his mind.

This knowledge is the knowledge about Runes that Hugo spent 3000 Galleons to learn from Odin, and the reason why this knowledge is so expensive is because the Rune knowledge in this inheritance is very comprehensive.

You must know that the inheritance of Runes in the wizarding world has almost been completely cut off now. Even the Ancient Runes taught in top magic schools like Hogwarts are only introducing the theoretical knowledge part and the content related to alchemy at most.

However, in the inheritance that Hugo has now, various theoretical knowledge only accounts for a very small part, and most of the knowledge is about the practical application of various Runes.
