Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 78
“That child’s magical talent is indeed amazing and talented. People like him should not be Muggle wizards.” Elizabeth, who had previously questioned Ye Ting, couldn’t help but say
“He is indeed a Muggle wizard, Elizabeth.”
Dumbledore confirmed calmly,”But I have a hunch that the reason why he awakened magic is probably very different from that of ordinary Muggle wizards – in fact, to some extent, he is closer to those ancient wizards.”
“Ancient wizards? Do you also believe in that ridiculous theory of divine right?” A male wizard with curly hair who was busy brewing a potion raised his head in surprise,”I think the theory of hybrids of magical creatures is the real truth.”
Elizabeth immediately retorted:”Oh, come on, Wenridian, I don’t believe that our magic comes from those… beasts. Do you think your great-great-great-grandfather was a goblin?”
Phineas Black also followed suit and echoed Elizabeth loudly.
“That’s much better than the vague theory of divine right!”Windick Winridian shouted excitedly.
Seeing that the headmasters were about to quarrel over the classic question of the origin of wizards’ magic, Dumbledore hurriedly coughed dryly to try to calm the dispute.
“”It doesn’t really matter where his talent comes from,” Dumbledore said.”It doesn’t change the fact that he is a rare magical genius.”
“It’s rare to hear you use the word genius to describe someone.”Wen Ruidian said
“Dumbledore, you are not trying to say that the child could be the next you, are you?”
Phineas said with a hint of subtle sarcasm,”A griffin with both wisdom and courage?”
“No, Mr. Ye Ting’s potential is probably even higher than mine.”Dumbledore expressed his admiration for Ye Ting without hesitation.
“”Haha, this is simply the funniest joke I have ever heard this century!”
Phineas covered his stomach and laughed exaggeratedly.
However, apart from his laughter, no one in the principal’s office said a word, which made Phineas feel a little bored, and gradually, his laughter subsided.
“Mr. Ye Ting’s research in the field of alchemy has surpassed too many people.”
Dumbledore sighed, and Nicolas Flamel’s high evaluation of Ye Ting in the letter came to his mind. 950
This child is destined to become a person who changes the magic world.
On the other hand, Ye Ting didn’t know what kind of discussion he had caused among the principals.
He stepped out of the principal’s office and couldn’t wait to open the letter.
On the letter, the vigorous handwriting came into view:
“Dear Mr. Ye Ting:
Hello, I am Nicolas Flamel. Perhaps you have heard of my name.
Not long ago, I received a clockwork beetle from Professor Dumbledore. Its exquisite alchemical skills and unique magic pattern design made me, an old alchemist, admire it. I am sincerely pleased that the magic world has a rising star like you. However, some of the structures in the beetle are so exquisite that I can hardly understand them, such as…
(A long series of obscure academic discussions followed.)
I beg you to satisfy the curiosity of a man over 600 years old and solve my doubts?
With great respect,
Nicolas Flamel.
PS: The method of replying is attached to this letter.”
The return method is actually a somewhat complicated magic pattern. This may be a small test from the alchemist master to his friends – those who cannot pass the test cannot make friends with him at all.
Of course, this is also his way of protecting his privacy. After all, a true master like him, a living legend, will have countless admirers or speculators who want to find him as long as he stays on Earth for a day, asking him questions, getting his autograph, etc.
He has to use this method to live a quiet life.
But this little problem did not bother Ye Ting. He easily cracked the magic pattern and returned to the dormitory to write a long letter to Nicolas Flamel.
He not only answered all the questions about clockwork machinery in the letter in detail, but also shared several confusions he encountered in the process of alchemy research.
In terms of academics, he is happy to communicate with the masters of this world.
After finishing the letter, Ye Ting prepared to find the school owl to mail the letter, and by the way, he would go to the Forbidden Forest to find Hagrid.
The time he and Hagrid agreed to meet was in the afternoon.
If he hadn’t been delayed for too long at Dumbledore’s place, he would have been back long ago.
He didn’t know if it would delay dinner.
Before leaving the common room, he saw Zhang Qiu, who was bored.
Today was the weekend, and there happened to be no Quidditch training in the afternoon. The little wizard who had been squeezed dry in the Unveiling Operation hadn’t provided many orders recently.
So the girl suddenly felt bored.
If it were usual, before joining the Everything Shop, she would often encounter such situations and never found it strange.
But after joining the Everything Shop, Zhang Qiu deeply understood the truth that time is money. As a result, now that she has nothing to do, she feels that she has lost a lot.
Seeing Ye Ting, the girl’s expression became visibly happy
“Ye Ting, I remember you went to the principal’s office before,” she waved and asked gossipingly,”What did you talk about?”
Ye Ting said,”We went to talk about the clockwork beetle – Professor Dumbledore also placed an order with our shop. By the way, he also handed me a letter from Nicolas Flamel.”
“Oh, so Dumbledore also bought your clockwork beetle!”
Zhang Qiu’s eyes lit up when he heard it,”This is big news, I have to write it down and use it in our advertising slogan.”
As for Nicolas Flamel, she completely ignored him.
After recording the news, Zhang Qiu asked curiously:”Where are you going now?”
“”Go find Hagrid,” Ye Ting said casually,”He said there is a batch of fresh materials waiting for us, and Susan and I are going to get them. Do you want to come with us?”
He invited casually,”Do you want to come with us?”
“Of course!” Zhang Qiu agreed without hesitation,”I’m just worried about having nothing to do, so it’s just right for me to go with you.”
In the lobby, they met Susan Bones who had been waiting for a long time.
In fact, like Zhang Qiu, she had no impression of the name Nicolas Flamel.
After sending the letter, the group went to Hagrid’s hut with great interest.
Hagrid was sitting beside the tree stump in front of the door, concentrating on adjusting an ancient and huge compound bow.
In the eyes of others, the bow was like a freak that combined violence and art. The bow was very tall, almost taller than Susan, and it looked powerful.
“”Aha, Ye Ting, you are finally here! Please take a seat!” Hagrid greeted them warmly.
Ye Ting nodded slightly and waved his wand lightly, and the branches on the ground instantly turned into four exquisite chairs.
After the three of them sat down, Ye Ting casually asked,”Hagrid, do you still like this gift?”
“I like it! I like it very much!”
Hagrid smiled like a 600-pound child, innocently and warmly,”I’ve never been so happy!”
Although Hagrid’s wand was secretly hidden in his pink umbrella, his magic was a bit lame, so he preferred to use his huge bow.
Ye Ting had seen Hagrid’s bow. It was an ordinary metal bow, and the bowstring was also made of ordinary rubber bands. In general, apart from being big and hard, it had no special features.
So he gave the [Slingshot] rewarded by the system to Hagrid.
The slingshot was certainly not the kind of slingshot made of Y-shaped tree branches, but a very elastic bow from the continent of Teyvat, especially when shooting at close range.
With Hagrid’s amazing strength, if he pulled the bow to its full extent, the arrows he shot might easily penetrate the armor of an armored vehicle, not to mention the shells of those magical creatures.
Hagrid couldn’t let go of the bow, his eyes full of surprise and gratitude:”This is too precious, Ye Ting, I……”
This bow is indeed very valuable. Hagrid has never seen the material of the bow before. He only knows that it is a kind of wood that looks expensive.
Its appearance is also very delicate, and every detail shows the craftsman’s ingenuity. What’s more amazing is that it also contains powerful magical power.
After all, this is a three-star weapon in the continent of Teyvat. Perhaps in the game world, such a weapon is not uncommon to players, but in the real world, it is the top standard weapon that ordinary people can access.
More advanced ones are all magical weapons that can write legends in history.
“Oh, by the way,”
Hagrid suddenly said as if he remembered something,”are you here to get materials? I still have a lot of magic materials in my house, if you need them, just take them, don’t hesitate.”
Hagrid had a lot of rare materials from the Forbidden Forest, such as unicorn hair, enough to weave carpets.
However, he rarely sold these treasures, mostly just piled them up in the house casually, or took some to make a doghouse for Yaya.
Ye Ting nodded, he was used to Hagrid’s generosity, so he picked the materials he needed without hesitation.
For Wanyou Shop, Hagrid was a very important supplier. (To read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“”I will take this bow with me when I go to the Forbidden Forest.” Hagrid announced with a smile.
The Forbidden Forest is a dangerous place, and Hagrid really needs a powerful weapon to defend himself.
Of course, for most creatures in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid himself may be the most dangerous existence.
“Hagrid, how did you get this thing?”
Ye Ting pointed curiously at the eye-catching unicorn horn in the pile of materials.
Hagrid’s collection is dazzling, but Ye Ting fell in love with it at first sight.
“Alas, that was the horn of a poached unicorn.”
Speaking of this, Hagrid’s eyes flashed with sadness,”More than ten years ago, such cruel things happened repeatedly. Every time I think of it, it makes people feel heartbroken.”
More than ten years ago, it was the time when Voldemort and the Death Eaters were rampant.
Hagrid sighed softly, and then continued:”The Forbidden Forest is really too large, and not all of it is the territory of Hogwarts. Although Professor Dumbledore is powerful, he cannot protect the entire Forbidden Forest. However, we have deployed many warning magics on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and once there is a magical fluctuation, we will be able to detect it at the first time.”
“What if the poachers don’t use magic?”
Ye Ting frowned, worried about the weak defense of the Forbidden Forest Wildlife Sanctuary.
“Humph, if they don’t use magic, those thieves can’t deal with the little guys in the Forbidden Forest.”
Hagrid said confidently, and then continued to test his slingshot.
I saw an arrow shot out, piercing a thick oak tree with a diameter of at least half a meter, and deeply penetrated another tree forty centimeters.
“What a great bow it is.” Hagrid could not help stroking the bow affectionately and praising it profusely.
“I hope you are right.”Ye Ting shrugged. He still had some doubts about what Hagrid said.
From a certain point of view, he felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to protect every little life in the Forbidden Forest. After all, they were all his…Hogwarts’ precious wealth! After a few people chatted for a while, Hagrid stood up and said enthusiastically that he would make some special rock cakes for everyone to try.
Since Ye Ting’s encouragement, he has worked hard and felt that his cooking skills have greatly improved. He also created a herring rock cake.[]
“”It’s super simple to make,”
Hagrid introduced proudly,”just ferment the herring and mix it with rock cakes, it’s a bit like the cookies with cranberries that you Muggles eat.”
When everyone heard this, they all made excuses to shirk, saying that they had dinner or something, anyway, they just didn’t want to try.
After all, except for Ye Ting who can cheat, who doesn’t know the”reputation” of rock cakes?
The two girls had heard about this legendary blunt weapon from Hermione.
But Hagrid didn’t seem to notice everyone’s resistance, and walked into the kitchen on his own.
Just when Zhang Qiu and Susan were figuring out how to push all the cookies to Ye Ting, suddenly, the rooster-shaped pointer at the door of Hagrid’s house, which looked like a weather vane, suddenly”cock-a-doodle-doo”, and then spun wildly.
This really saved everyone’s life! Hagrid didn’t care about the rock cake anymore, and rushed out of the door, staring nervously at the direction of the pointer
“Hagrid, what happened?”Ye Ting came forward and asked
“Alas, it’s probably the centaurs who are making trouble again.”
Hagrid sighed and scratched his head helplessly,”It seems that some unknown creature has broken into the Forbidden Forest, disturbing the magical animals inside, and even the centaurs have been affected.”
At this point, Hagrid’s face turned stern, and he said seriously:”I have to go and check the situation!”
As the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, it is his duty to do so.
“We also want to go and see it together!” Ye Ting said immediately
“Don’t worry, we promise not to cause you any trouble!”
Zhang Qiu also quickly expressed his opinion, with a look of excitement on his face, obviously looking for some excitement.
But the most active person in this matter is Ye Ting. In his eyes, the Forbidden Forest is a huge collection library, just like the principal’s office.
Hagrid shook his big head like a rattle and said firmly:”No, this time it’s not as simple as going to the edge of the Forbidden Forest to feed the Moon Beast or the Ball Bird. We have to go deep into the heart of the Forbidden Forest.”
“Hagrid, believe me, I have the ability to protect myself.”Ye Ting said hurriedly,”As long as I don’t get lost, I will never joke with my life.”
Zhang Qiu also added:”I ran very fast!”
However, this statement was obviously not convincing.
Susan was more self-aware. She didn’t say anything, but just pulled Ye Ting’s clothes. As long as Ye Ting went, he would take her with him.
