Chapter 767 "The Book of Hieroglyphs" (2 in 1, 4000 Words)

"You actually hid it from me for so long. Tell me quickly, what happened that day?" Simo said excitedly.

"Tomorrow, I'll tell you tomorrow, or you can go find Harry and Ron, they also know." Looking at Seamus's excited look, Ivan shook his head helplessly.

If he had known better, he wouldn't have said so much. He still had some important things to do tonight.

Because of the previous conflict, Seamus was too shameless to ask Harry again, so he had to pester Ivan relentlessly.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ron, who had finished guiding the freshmen, walked in from the door and relieved Ivan.

After all, Ron loved telling stories more than anything...

After finally getting rid of Seamus' entanglement, Ivan walked to the bed and packed the suitcase, then leaned on the bed and opened the Marauder's Map.

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!"

Ivan tapped his wand, and delicate ink lines emerged on the blank parchment, gradually outlining the outline of the entire castle.

"Well, Dumbledore is in the office." Ivan searched around the Marauder's Map and quickly determined Dumbledore's location. Dang even jumped up from the bed, ready to go to the principal's office and ask about the location of the Hogwarts magic storage room.

The scarcity of magic power is his biggest weakness now. If it can be solved, he will no longer have to hide around Voldemort when he sees him again. He can rely on blood magic to fight him head-on...

With such power, coupled with the law enforcers in Knockturn Alley, there is no problem in simply kicking the Ministry of Magic over.

Just as Ivan was thinking this, Dumbledore's name on the Marauder's Map suddenly flashed and then disappeared without a trace.

Ivan, who was about to reach the door, was forced to stop and scan the Marauder's Map carefully. Dumbledore's name could not be seen anywhere else.

If the name was not deliberately blocked with magic like last school year, it would prove that Dumbledore left the school through the Phoenix.

"Are you out? It's late at night? Why is it so urgent?" Ivan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself.

Dumbledore was very rare to be late for the opening ceremony before, and he didn't stop at all after the dinner, as if he was rushing to do something.

This made Ivan feel that something was wrong, and Dumbledore's condition was a little too good, completely different from his expectations.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent still used his left hand when casting spells and saw Dumbledore's name on the Marauder's Map just now, he would have doubted whether it was Dumbledore himself.

"Forget it, ask again tomorrow, or within a day or two." Ivan waited for a long time with the Marauder's Map but Dumbledore didn't come back, so he had to give up the idea of ​​asking about the magic storage room for the time being, and instead took out the Ni But he started reading the two books that Flamel had given him.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

Ivan yawned and got up from the bed. After washing, he walked out of the dormitory with Harry, Ron and others.

When a few people arrived in the lounge, they saw Hermione standing on the bulletin board and angrily taking off a piece of parchment on it.

"What's written on it? Hermione?" Ivan stepped forward curiously and asked.

"See for yourself!" Hermione handed over the parchment.

At first, Ivan thought it was Umbridge who was up to something, but after taking a look at it, he realized that it was actually an advertisement for Weasley's Joke Shop. It marked the new product they had just developed this year, and it was fair and square. Recruiting experimenters and staff at the end...

"Quick-acting sugar candies, answering quills, decoy bombs, and even portable swamps... How can they sell these things? It's so abominable! They weren't so bold last year, because Percy would definitely stop them!"

Hermione was shaking with anger. She thought that George and Fred must have thought that they and Ron would be merciful to them since they became prefects this year, so they were so careless that they posted the advertisement directly on the bulletin board in the lounge.

"Oh my God, Hermione, do you want to be the next Percy? That's terrible!" Ron didn't think posting an advertisement was a big deal, but was shocked by the second half of Hermione's words.

He thought about Hermione holding a copy of "How Prefects Gain Power" all day long, looking arrogant and commanding, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Of course I don't want to be Percy..." Hermione rolled her eyes and said angrily. "But they should know that the fifth graders have to take the O.W.L. exam this year, and the seventh graders also have to take the N.E.W.T. certificate. They have no time to spend on fun!"

"Will you help me? Ivan..." Hermione turned her head and looked at Ivan and begged. She knew very well that she couldn't control George and Fred.

"Okay, I will talk to them when I have time and ask them to calm down a little." Ivan nodded in agreement.

Because he saw a love potion named [Magical Witch] in the product list. Selling this kind of mind-affecting potion is indeed a bit too much, and it can easily lead to trouble.

Not to mention that Umbridge is preparing to vigorously renovate Hogwarts this year. It is not a good thing to be too out of touch at this time.

"Be a little more restrained?" Hermione pursed her lips and felt unhappy.

"Okay, don't worry about this so much, let's go eat quickly..." Ivan didn't compromise this time, threw the advertisement aside, and suddenly kissed Hermione on the cheek, and then didn't wait. She responded by taking her hand and walking towards the auditorium.

Hermione's face flushed red, and she forgot about the trouble with George and Fred for a while. Although it was not the first time that Ivan kissed her, now both Harry and Ron still here I am.

Several people walked into the foyer together. The students they met along the way had polarizing attitudes. Some people greeted them enthusiastically, while the remaining students stayed away as if they were the plague.

Of course Ivan knew what was going on. Those little wizards who were hiding from him must have believed what the Daily Prophet said, or they had been warned by their family during the summer vacation and ordered them to stay away from this trouble. The source is further away.

Those who are still willing to believe him now are probably his supporters who admire him.

Harry also keenly noticed that some people were deliberately avoiding him, and he was immediately frustrated. He couldn't understand why so many people were willing to believe the crazy words of the Ministry of Magic.

"Of course it's because of the power of public opinion!" Ivan explained. "The Ministry of Magic can be compared to the Muggle government. It is authoritative in itself. As long as what they say is not too outrageous, most people will choose to believe it. Coupled with the information bombardment from the Daily Prophet, even more people will believe it!"

Ivan knew very well how easy it was for the authorities to manipulate public opinion and confuse right and wrong. Even a bag of washing powder could be described as a biological and chemical weapon. Whether Voldemort was dead or alive was not a matter of their words.

"Yes! Those wizards can only see what the Ministry of Magic wants them to see. It would be great if there was another influential newspaper willing to report the truth..." Hermione also recovered from her previous embarrassment. God came and started talking, then paused and said with regret.

"Even Lavender believes what the Daily Prophet says."

"Don't worry, I will convince her, it only takes a little time!" Ron promised, slapping his chest. Since the dance of last school year, his relationship with Lavender has grown by leaps and bounds, and they have become a couple within a few days. Boy and girl friends.

While chatting, Ivan and the others quickly sat down at the long Gryffindor table, enjoyed today's breakfast, and then rushed to the History of Magic classroom without stopping.

Ghost Professor Binns, as usual, didn't care much about the order of the class. He followed the script throughout the whole process and talked about the topic of the Giant War in a drawl for more than an hour.

The boring history of magic made everyone in the audience feel sleepy. Only Hermione listened carefully and took several pages of notes.

Before class, Ivan chose a remote location and took out the "Book of Hieroglyphics" to read through it.

When he had nothing to do last night, he had already roughly browsed through the two books that Nico Flamel had given him.

Although another "Jewish Book of Abraham" records a lot of profound alchemical knowledge, even the method of making the Philosopher's Stone was unearthed from it by Nico Flamel.

But the entire text of the book was written in a mixture of Latin, Arabic, Chaldean and ancient Syriac, and he couldn't understand it without a translation.

And Ivan believes that this "Book of Hieroglyphics" has been the most helpful to him in a short period of time.

After all, these are Nicolés Flamel's research notes. The knowledge has been sorted out and is very concise and easy to understand.

In addition, there are hundreds of different magic words and thousands of ways to arrange the magic words, as well as ways to use the magic stone!

"Sure enough, during last summer vacation, the teacher was studying something related to the magic stone..." When Ivan turned to a certain page, he stopped involuntarily and muttered to himself.

Drawn on this page is a strange arm-guard-like device with a groove in the center and a bright red irregular stone inlaid in it.

A year ago, he had seen the same thing on Nico Flamel's study drawings.

After studying the content recorded below, Ivan quickly understood the purpose of this device.

Generally speaking, if you want to use the huge magic power in the magic stone, you must set up an alchemical array. This is somewhat inconvenient during combat. In an encounter, the enemy will not give you time to prepare.

Therefore, the arm guard developed by Nico Flamel is very important. It is equivalent to a magic guidance device, which can easily extract the magic power stored in the magic stone to release magic.

This is probably what Nico Flamel said was a trick to obtain sufficient magic power in battle.

Seeing this, Ivan understood that he had one more thing to do this year, which was to make this alchemy device!

In the next class, Ivan found the method of using alchemical circles to convert substances and the formula for the potion of immortality in the "Book of Hieroglyphics"...

Ivan was very excited. It was just a matter of turning stone into gold. It was easy to make money with his current level of alchemy, but immortality was different.

This can be said to be the ultimate dream of most people.

Especially this is quality immortality. After all, the effect of the magic potion also has the effect of delaying aging.

As for Nico LeMay's old look all year round, there is actually a reason.

First, if you take too much magic medicine, the body's resistance to it will greatly reduce the effect of the magic medicine in delaying aging.

Secondly, it took Nico Flamel more than twenty years to analyze and make the magic stone. By the time he took the potion of immortality, he was already in his fifties and sixties. Unless he underwent magical transformation, he would not be able to live as a younger person. body to spend these more than six hundred years.

This has to be said to be a pity!

But I am different. I am very young. After taking the magic potion, I can completely maintain the body's function at its peak for a long time!

Thinking this way, Ivan couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he quickly suppressed these emotions.

Hold on, hold on...take your time!

Now is not the time to be distracted by studying these alchemical circles...

Ivan forced his eyes to move away from these alchemy circles and turned back to the alchemy device that guides magic power. This is what needs to be studied in the near future.

[Ding, after the unremitting efforts of the host, the history of magic class is over. Please keep up the hard work.

】

Just as Ivan was studying how to make this alchemy device, the system prompts in his mind rang.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the History of Magic class was over. Professor Binns on the podium drifted out and looked towards him before leaving.

Obviously, this ghost professor, who seemed a bit old and confused, still discovered that he did not pay attention to the lecture.

But that's right. It was rare that he didn't stand up to answer the question. It would be strange if he couldn't find out.

Ivan touched his nose. It seemed that he would have to pay more attention in the future. Academic grade points could greatly improve his learning efficiency, which was still very important.

The next period was Potions class. No one wanted to be late in Snape's class, and Ivan was no exception, so he quickly packed up his textbooks and left the classroom.

"Ivan, why were you absent-minded in class today?" Hermione followed quickly and asked strangely,

When Professor Binns asked a question today, Ivan didn't even compete with her, which made Hermione, who was used to it, feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm just studying a very important alchemy topic, and I'm a little too absorbed in it... Besides, I've already read the history of the Giant War in books. It doesn't matter whether I listen to the lecture or not." Ivan said with a smile.

Seeing how relaxed Ivan said it, Harry and Ron were very envious.

The lecture taught by Professor Binns was too boring, so the two of them fell asleep and played games for one class. Now they can only beg Hermione to lend her the notes from the History of Magic class for the next exam. Own……
