Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 346: Real problem

Dumbledore is willing to help Zhao Mai get the qualification to stay at Hogwarts, in exchange he hopes to complete the thesis "Research on Merlin and the Original Curse" with Zhao Mai. Bayi? Chinese Network=≤≤≠≤≠≠≤≤≈≈≈This is nothing bad, Zhao Mai will naturally agree, and the two shook hands.

"Can you take this stone book to me to read it?"

"Oh, the text above is quite old, can you understand?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed, trying to see Zhao Mai thoroughly.

"My good friend Tolkien is a genius in languages. He is a professor who studies Old English." Zhao Mai said calmly, "Do you mind if I show it to him?"

"Take it and save it." Dumbledore smiled. "Don't forget to return to the library as soon as possible. Mrs. Frank has always had a bad temper. I don't want to be urged by her ears to ask for expired books.

Zhao Mai agreed with a smile and walked to the dormitory with a heavy book. Halfway through, he remembered that there was something he had forgotten to ask, which was related to the potions exam.

But it doesn't matter if I think about it, anyway, according to the stupid and cumbersome method in the book, he can also refine the medicine, and it is no problem to pass. He has revealed many things that are different from ordinary people, and there is no need to go too far on this maverick road.

Hearing Dumbledore's guarantee to Zhao Mai—though Zhao Mai repeatedly said that Dumbledore just said to give it a try, and did not guarantee anything—Tolkien was very happy for him. "There must be no problem with your spell level! The potion is also powerful enough, it seems you are stable!"

"I'm not as optimistic as you, but what I heard today is indeed good news." Zhao Mai put the book "The Origin of Magic" on the desktop: "Come and help me see what is written in this book. ?"

"Huh?" Tolkien only glanced at the Old English text on it and couldn't pull it out: "Where did you find this thing, such a large amount of text, enough for me to write a paper!"

"I borrowed this from Professor Dumbledore. I think you might be interested. You can copy two copies, and the original book must be returned. I'm not in a hurry. When will you finish deciphering? Just say it."

"You are so kind to me! I just need some interesting extracurricular readings to change my mind." Tolkien said with a smile.

Zhao Mai only used Tolkien as a cover, and never thought of using this kind of work as an extracurricular reading for his mind. However, he smiled friendly and generously accepted Tolkien's thanks.

With the help of full language proficiency, he took the time to read the entire book. Except for those mentioned by Dumbledore, the entire book records the deeds of some of the earliest wizards, more dreamy than many fantasy novels. It is said that Merlin can fly the entire sea to the sky, and can also pull the moon to the ground. These stories seriously reduced the credibility of this book, and Tolkien commented that this is just a collection of stories. So the focus of the two people's learning is still on spells and potions, and they practice more day and night.

However, one of the information provided by Dumbledore was very enlightening to Zhao Mai: the magic spell Merlin concluded was actually the root of the druid spell. Since it is a summary and evolution, there must be a context to follow. Tolkien is a linguist, he proposed to find the law from the mantra. "Many of the words used in the spells are meaningful, and many words have little difference between ancient and modern, such as removing your weapon and fainting, splitting the root and the sound root..."

"It's not easy for me to use English. Don't force me to read your graduate student again? How can I understand what you are saying?" Zhao Mai said, covering his forehead.

"Well, I mean, it's a line extending from ancient English to modern. What if it's reversed? I can make the language more ancient, maybe I can get something together." Tolkien looked very excited. : "All spells are language in the final analysis, whether they are Germanic, Celtic or whatever, they are all the power of language!"

Zhao Mai's heart burst: Is the power of oaths the same?

"Okay, are you going to create a spell? As long as you can do it, I will help you test it." Zhao Mai never discourages his friends, but also remind him: "Don't spend too much time on this. You have to take an exam after all!"

"Don't worry," Tolkien replied confidently. At this moment there was a knock on the door.

"Have you seen Fidel Russ?" The one who knocked on the door was "Enthusiastic Elbeira", a married lady from Norway who had two children with a gift for wizards.

"Fidel? That Spaniard with a curvy beard and a goatee?" Tolkien shook his head: "I didn't see him in class today. Actually yesterday morning was the last time I saw him. What happened? ?"

"He is missing and has been reported to the school. The ghosts are looking for him. Hope God bless him."

"This is the fifth accident, right?" Zhao Mai recalled. Since he was inexplicably fainted and attacked by a spell, he has been paying attention to the surrounding situation. Toman from Ireland damaged his head by the falling sculpture and has been sent home for recuperation; the Dutch husband has been mentally weak for a long time and has advised to drop out of school; Gallaher fell off during a flight last week and is still in hospital bed; Johnston of Liverpool was admitted to the hospital the day before yesterday because of severe diarrhea and appendicitis. He didn't know when he would be able to come out.

Although everyone's situation is different, these things are all born to the tuition students, and they have to make people nervous and suspicious. In fact, the age of tuition students is not too young, at least a lot older than the actual students in school, relatively more mature and more careful, it is reasonable to say that there should not be so many "accidents."

"It's not just the fifth one." Elbella said in a low voice, "Remember the French and Germans who were dueling in the playground? They were demerited for violating the school rules and their exam results would be deducted. It is said that they will be deducted. The principal was going to expel them directly."

"Then why not expelled?"

"Professor Dumbledore said good things for them~www.NovelMTL.com~ Ms. Albela's cheeks trembled, and she forced a smile and said: "And the reason is that the level of the curse of those two people is too bad. Described as'holding a stick and making random gestures', it cannot be defined as a magical duel. "

It is impossible for a person with a poor level of spells to cast the correct faint spell. Zhao Mai can already confirm that someone is behind these things, and their goal is very clear, they are the tuition students.

"I think everyone should pay special attention to safety at this time, don't act alone, let alone go out alone." Zhao Mai reminded: "There are two months or so before the exam, but don't have an accident at this time."

"Well, you two — oh, and Addo — you three must be careful." Ms. Albeira smiled at them: "Well, I'll go below to inform and ask other people. Climb you once The top floor is so tired, wheezing."

The door was closed, and there were clear footsteps on the steps. Suddenly, "Who!?" After a cry, there was a tumbling sound. Zhao Mai rushed out, but no one was seen.

Ms. Elbela stiffened and fell to the low end of the stairs. She was petrified, and cracks spread across her stone body. (To be continued.)
