Chapter 163 The Story of "The Muggle Princess and the Seven Goblins"

"Basic Charms Level 4", "Selected Ancient Magic Texts", "Curse and Counter-Curse"

Ivan walked past the side of the bookshelf and looked around at the books placed on it.

The entire Flourish and Blotts bookstore looks small, much smaller than the Hogwarts library.

And there is no forbidden library here, or it is not open to the general public, resulting in the lack of many advanced magic books on the bookshelves.

Ivan didn't care about this. Anyway, these were enough for him to watch for a long time.

Ivan casually took down an "Anthology of Ancient Magic Texts" from the bookshelf, found a remote corner, sat down and read it alone.

The shopkeeper's wife in front of the counter occasionally paid attention to Ivan's movements. She was a little surprised to see him sitting in the corner for hours. She had rarely seen the little wizard have such patience.

Ivan watched until the bookstore was about to close before he got up and left. At the same time, he also met the manager of the bookstore, the husband of this intellectual lady.

It's just that the wizard manager didn't look like the manager of a bookstore, and he was not well-dressed at all. When he came in, Ivan almost mistakenly thought that this guy was a handyman in the bookstore.

For several days, Ivan spent time at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, reading three to five books a day to improve his knowledge.

At the same time, he is also improving his understanding of the magical world.

This speed is obviously difficult to satisfy Ivan. Those basic magic books are okay, but most of the more advanced ones are obscure and difficult to understand. Even if you read them repeatedly, it is difficult to push the reading progress to 100%.

After consuming an excessive amount of academic points, Ivan finally remembered the learning accelerator that he had left at home for who knows how many days - Horcrux Tom's diary.

On the third day, Ivan took it over and used it as a study notebook. If he encountered any questions he didn't know, he would write them down and ask them.

After spending a whole summer together, Ivan also had a rough estimate of Tom Riddle's basic magic theory level, which was probably around level five.

The level of black magic is a little higher, and the others are slightly lower. It is still no problem for a young wizard who is still at the fourth level of basic magic theory to teach him.

As Ivan's knowledge system further improved, the relationship between the two parties gradually moved from teaching to mutual discussion.

[Ding, after a period of study, your proficiency in basic magic principles has improved. It is currently level 4 (916/1600)]

[Ding, after a period of practice, your Occlumency level has been raised to level 4, and you will be rewarded with 20 student status points. 】

Two system prompts sounded in his mind. Ivan closed the "Detailed Explanation of Basic Magic Spells" in his hand, put it aside, and looked at the Horcrux Diary with increasing satisfaction.

With the help of Tom Riddle, his learning efficiency has increased several times!

You must know that after the skill level of magic spell reaches level four, it becomes more and more difficult to make progress. The progress bar of proficiency is simply despairing!

If you just rely on reading and studying on your own, you won't even think about making any big progress within a year or two.

What's more, the "kind-hearted" Tom will also help him brush up his Occlumency level during the learning process, which is quite rare!

If Ivan hadn't known the danger of the Horcrux diary, he wouldn't have wanted to destroy it.

Of course, Tom's "selfless" contribution did not come without reward. At least he also got a lot of the information he wanted from Ivan.

But after getting this information, Tom couldn't believe it at all, and even felt that he had heard it wrong.

[You said that the savior of the magical world who killed the Dark Lord twelve years ago was a newborn baby? How can this be? 】

Black ink marks covered most of the paper in a short period of time, and the writing was scrawled. It was obvious that Tom couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart.

This couldn't help but surprise him. Anyone who heard that he had worked hard to cultivate and became a great being who controlled the wind and rain in the magic world, but was actually killed by a newborn baby, would find it ridiculous.

If Ivan said that the Dark Lord was defeated by Dumbledore or a powerful wizard, he would be more accepting.

Ivan became more and more tolerant of Tom's questions. Anyway, he planned to destroy the diary before going to school, so it didn't matter whether he answered or not.

Not long after, Ivan started talking nonsense in his diary.

【right! I heard that it was because the Dark Lord killed the Savior's parents, and the Savior killed the Dark Lord out of anger. Every wizard in the British magical world knows this! 】

Tom Riddle was silent.

He really couldn't imagine how a baby just a few days old could destroy the Dark Lord in anger. Even the fairy tales he read in the Muggle orphanage didn't dare to write like this!

But under the Legilimency search, Tom clearly understood that the little wizard in front of him did indeed think so in his heart and was not deceiving himself.

Because of this, Tom became more and more confused. He felt that something was wrong with the world.

Ivan didn't know that Tom almost began to doubt the world because of his words.

However, Ivan felt that he had not deceived Tom. After all, there were indeed similar statements in the many rumors about Harry circulating in the wizarding world.

Isn't it normal for him, a little wizard of eleven or twelve years old, to believe rumors?

Because of this, Ivan continued to disguise himself as a little wizard and wrote in his diary.

[You also think Harry the Savior is very powerful, right? He killed the powerful Dark Lord so easily just after he was born]

[Ah, yes, it’s awesome! ! ] Tom was silent for a while and replied in an extremely frustrated tone.

Shocked by Ivan's words, Tom stopped asking about the magic world for a long time after this conversation.

This made Ivan somewhat disappointed.

Teasing Tom Riddle has become a pastime for him to relieve the boredom of reading, and it usually has the effect of making him happy physically and mentally.

Ivan wondered if Voldemort would feel so relieved if he learned that the Horcrux he had worked so hard to develop had so many functions.

Watching the sunset, considering that school was about to start in two days, Ivan brought the unfinished books to the front desk. He did not plan to come here again.

"Madam, how much does this book "Advanced Transfiguration" cost?"

"Three Galleons, eleven Sickles." The shopkeeper's wife took a look and said, then hesitated for a while before continuing.

"This is not the book you should read now, kid. It's a good thing to love knowledge, but sometimes we have to learn to take it step by step!"

"Yes, children as old as you should read story books, such as this story "The Muggle Princess and the Seven Goblins". The goods just purchased today only sell for nine Sickles. I heard that Muggles My kids love reading this the most.” The manager also came over to join in the fun, holding some books in his hand.

He thinks that Ivan, pretending to be an adult and reading some profound books, is better off reading a few fairy tale books, like the one in his hand. Although the Muggle princess abandoned the seven goblins who took care of her, she finally chose The ending of the story of living with giants is breathtaking
