Chapter 338 Two Worlds

After buying all the large and small bags, the group sat at Fogelin's cold drink shop. Everyone had a large glass of ice cream in front of them, and Ado had a large basin in front of him. They all put on mage robes, but because they had not graduated, they could not wear pointed hats.

At Zhao Mai's suggestion, Tolkien bought a night owl. Although this is also a type of owl, it is more fierce and powerful. In the owl shop, Zhao Mai took a liking to this beast at first sight because it was the only strong guy who dared to hoot at Zhao Mai.

"I can help you tame the animal and teach it some tricks." Zhao Mai patted Tolkien on the shoulder and said, "Believe me, I definitely have a better sense than you when it comes to selecting animals."

"Then why don't you buy it?" Tolkien was surprised. "Don't you need to send or receive letters?"

"These animals are inappropriate and have poor spirituality. Besides, I have A Liang and I don't want to switch to other animals for the time being." After Zhao Mai finished speaking, the big dog barked in agreement. A group of people also bought experimental crucibles, textbooks, reference books and medicine refining materials. Zhao Mai found some strange herbs through the induction of natural force. If his estimate is correct, these medicinal materials can replace some of the animal and plant materials in Westeros and become an important helper for him in refining medicine.

Plants from different worlds may produce similar medicinal effects in some places, but every time Zhao Mai sees his wand, he will have questions: "Are you sure this is the branch of the enlightenment tree?" Zhao Mai asked Xiaohua.

"I'm very sure." Xiaohua sat on the chair opposite Zhao Mai like a little lady. In the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary empty chair. "The Enlightenment Tree is a Bodhi tree, but the Bodhi tree is not necessarily an Enlightenment tree. On the surface, it is a Bodhi tree branch, but I can see that it once had Druid runes on it, indicating that it was enlightened. Among them. It's a pity that it didn't grow up like me and lost its activity a long time ago. You are a druid, maybe that's why it can be your wand."

"Then the question now is, why are there branches of the Enlightenment Tree here?" Zhao Mai found a "History of Magic" book from his schoolbag, looked at the catalog and shook his head. "There is only history from the killing of witches in the Middle Ages, not earlier. Maybe we can find relevant records only if we get the school library."

"Why do you care about this?" Xiaohua didn't understand: "That wand has died long ago, and the realization on it has disappeared. I am a living realization tree!"

"It's okay, I'm just curious, and it's just random thoughts when I'm bored." Zhao Mai waved his hand: "Let's not talk about it anymore, just treat it as a project to kill time. After all, we still have a long time to go. past."

"I will always be with you!" Xiaohua raised one hand high and smiled brightly.

After a while Tolkien came back, breathless but with a bright smile. "It's all done, four tickets to Hogwarts, platform nine and three-quarters of London's King's Cross Station. Isn't this platform interesting? Then we will walk towards the station pillars and we will reach the hidden The platform. There happens to be a class tomorrow, so nothing will be delayed, and you can get to school a week early. There is nothing better than this!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Zhao Mai handed the ice cream in front of him to Ado. He had already finished the entire bowl, but he still seemed to be unsatisfied. "Hodor," he smiled, picked up the cup and continued eating.

"How did a stupid giant get in?" Zhao Mai heard someone talking, but when he turned around to look for it, he couldn't see it. The wizards were chatting under their hats and rarely moved their eyes here.

"Let's go to the subway station and find a temporary accommodation nearby. I asked just now and the hotels here are already full and there is no one left." Tolkien scratched his face and said : "I clearly saw someone just handing over the keys and leaving."

"We are not wizards yet, so we are incompatible here." Zhao Mai left the checkout money on the table and stood up. Everyone left Diagon Alley together, took Zhao Mai's "THE·CHE" to the subway station, and found a postal hotel to rest. Together they watched a war bond parade from their windows, as chanting war heroes called on everyone to support Britain, work hard for the good of their country, and buy war bonds.

"The war will definitely end this year!" Tolkien said to Zhao Mai with his fists clenched.

"Why are you so sure? Is it because Grindelwald gave you a guarantee?"

Tolkien nodded: "Grindelwald is the most confident and capable person I have ever met. If he can't accomplish the feat of stopping a world war, then no one can."

"With or without him, the First World War would have ended this year."

"The first time?" Tolkien suddenly became excited: "Why use this ordinal number? Is there a second time?"

Zhao Mai knew that he accidentally let it slip, but he explained calmly: "That's a speculation of mine, don't take it too seriously. I think this war will not solve any problems in the end, but will create new ones." problem. And once war is used to solve the problem, the possibility of using war next time will be very high."

Tolkien looked out the window, he frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head: "No. This time the war will be stopped by wizards. If there is a next time, I will use my magic to stop it! "

"Not a bad ideal." Zhao Mai believed that Tolkien's idea was impossible to realize, but after all, the idea was positive, and there was no way he could pour cold water on him. If you have this time, you might as well read more of the textbooks in your hands. After all, according to his physical age, he will be thirty soon. If he can only be assigned to a first grade, wouldn't he have to study with an eleven-year-old child?

Hogwarts adopts a seven-year academic system, with only one final exam each year. There are ordinary wizard level exams and ultimate wizard level exams in the 5th and 7th grades. It can be said that the exam pressure is relatively easy.

But study pressure is not necessarily the case. In order to skip a grade, Zhao Mai and Tolkien both decided to buy all the textbooks and dive in to study. There is no teacher to teach the Charms class, and it is impossible to learn it by just reading the text. However, books with written materials such as History of Magic, Atlas of Animals and Plants, Elementary Herbology, and the History of Hogwarts must be learned as soon as possible. .

Of the two of them, one is proficient in languages ​​and the other is a master of linguistics. One relies on psychic skills to assist memory, and the other has a unique learning and classification method. No matter who encounters a problem, the two of them will inspire each other through discussion, and the learning speed is still very fast.

The next day, they boarded the special train to Hogwarts.
