Chapter 215 213 Magic Slate

Chapter 215 213. Magic Tablet

The scenery on the tower is very good, but Sir Stoker brought Jon on this trip, obviously not just to see the scenery.

They came to a stone wall, which looked no different from other places, but after Sir Stoker gently pushed the stone on the surface, a stone slab that was obviously different from other places was revealed.

It was an overall black stone slab, with densely packed text carved on it that no one could see.

Jon had not lied before. When he was lurking in Hogwarts Castle, he had indeed studied ancient magic texts for a period of time in order to understand the "slave contract" signed by the muck students in the castle.

But this kind of research, which is just out of interest and does not last long at all, is not likely to make him achieve any outstanding achievements. It can only be done reluctantly, so that he can recognize which genre the texts in front of him belong to. Know the general meaning of some words and sentences.

"I discovered this stone slab five years ago. I discovered it accidentally during an astronomical observation. You should remember that I told you about this tower when we first met last night. It was left to me by my family, but in fact, those elders even forgot that such a place existed.”

Sir Stoker suddenly and strangely did not continue talking on this stone slab, but instead talked about the history of this tower.

"It wasn't that high at all when I first came here. There were only about 20 floors above the sea. The remaining height of nearly 50 floors was all slowly built by myself after I came here and decided to settle down. It took nearly twenty years to build and was completely completed in 1976.”

Jon frowned slightly, hearing the implication of why he wanted to introduce this.

"In other words, the top of the tower we are currently on was actually built by you eighteen years ago?"

"To be precise, it was twenty years ago." Sir Stoker said seriously. "I had already completed this position before 1974. The next two years were mainly about the layout of each floor."

The two-year gap made little difference to the problems it created.

"You built this floor in 1974, but five years ago you suddenly discovered that there was such a stone slab hidden behind the wall that you knew nothing about?"

Jon stared into Sir Stoker's eyes, and he seemed to suddenly understand something.

Sir Stoker nodded with a gloomy look.

"Here's the problem. Although this tower has a long history, I can be sure that every piece of material from the twenty-seventh floor onwards was made by my own magic and built on this tower. I can I must have left nothing hidden on this level at the beginning, and I have never brought any outsiders here before, but just five years ago, I discovered this stone slab filled with ancient magic inscriptions."

His voice was low and his face looked ugly.

Of course, no one would be in a good mood after something like this happened. A home built by one's own hands suddenly discovered something that one had never seen before one day.

Think about it from another perspective, it's like your own home, a private bedroom that basically does not allow outsiders to come in and visit, and suddenly one day you find a book under your pillow that you have never read or touched.

This will inevitably cause people to feel a great sense of panic and insecurity. Ordinary books will not harm people, but no one can guarantee the safety of a slate filled with ancient magic texts.

No matter who thought it was first, it could only be someone sneaking in.

Sir Stoker thought so, and Jon thinks so now.

He has been looking for what Voldemort did when he came here from last night to now.

But judging from the behavior of the owner of this tower, Sir Stoker, it seemed that he didn't know Voldemort at all, and he never remembered that anyone visited him at that point in the month.

But this slate obviously appeared during this time period, and Jon had every reason to suspect that Voldemort avoided the old knight and lurked into the tower.

Of course, judging from the strength that Sir Stoker has expressed to himself, Voldemort should be able to kill him easily, but for some unknown reason, he spared his life and only did it secretly in this tower. There have been some unnoticeable changes.

Five years ago, Sir Stoker accidentally discovered this stone tablet filled with ancient magic inscriptions, which is a proof.

The two can be logically connected together. Although it is not absolute, it is very likely.

From Sir Stoker's perspective, it can be explained why he was so impatient after learning that Jon was a professor at a magic school.

If he wanted to catch the person who sneaked into the castle, his only direction was this stone slab.

But according to what he said, he only studies astronomy, and in other magic fields he is at the level of an ordinary wizard, which makes him unable to start with this stone tablet full of ancient magic texts.

Therefore, he needs the help of a professional, and Jon's current identity is that of a "professor" who is no longer professional.

As for why this knight didn't just go back to land to find someone to answer this kind of thing, he probably has his own reasons.

"So, Sir, do you want me to help you decipher what is written on this slate and investigate its origin?" Jon asked.

Sir Stock nodded solemnly.

"You should understand my current thoughts. I can't accept that such a thing would happen in such a place where I have been living and living alone. I must investigate the origin of this slate, so I need your help, Professor Johnson."

Jon looked at the slate and asked the question in his heart.

"Since you found this slate five years ago, why didn't you return to the land during this period to find a professional researcher of magic runes to answer it?"

Sir Stock took a deep breath and said seriously.

"I once swore that if I didn't complete my research goals, I would never leave this tower in this life."

Only then did Jon show a clear expression on his face.

Come to think of it, who would plan to spend his life in such a place where there is no communication with the outside world?

Unless he really has a deep obsession with something.

From the top of the tower where they are now, it can be roughly seen that Sir Stoke's oath should be related to the starry sky above their heads.
