The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Vol 3 Chapter 11: Jade record?

Professor McGonagall watched Hermione wear the time-turner around her neck, and then warned her a few restrictions and taboos when using it. Hermione listened attentively, chanting words in her mouth.

"Yordle, I'm sorry, there's only one time-turner, and I'm going to let Miss Granger keep it," Professor McGonagall looked at Tom after the instructions, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, "The Ministry of Magic is only open for one time. They feel that the more the amount issued, the higher the risk of getting out of control, and the two of them use it together to supervise each other - they found out that you are from the same academy."

Tom nodded, and there was no emotion in his heart. Whether he or Hermione took care of it, there was essentially no difference.

Professor McGonagall escorted the two out of the office. After leaving the office, the two walked together on their way to Ravenclaw Towers.

"Tom, if you want to hold it, this time-turner can also be given to you." Hermione stopped Tom and took out the hourglass pendant from her chest.

"But Professor McGonagall asked you to keep it." Tom was indifferent, but he was very happy to see Hermione's reaction. It is naturally a blessing that the two can maintain the same front.

Hermione blushed slightly, "Rules are dead, and people are alive. Putting it with you, I can save my mind."

Tom took the warm hourglass, looked at it for a moment, and put it down gently, "What's the difference between you holding it and I holding it?"

[Time Converter (Four Stars): A magical creation made by an alchemist, it can travel through time and space. Every time the hourglass is turned, time will flow backwards by one hour. But looking back more than five hours can cause unpredictable harm. An imperfect alchemical creation.

It's a pity that even the refining method of this imperfect time-turner has been lost.

Note: People who try to change history with a time-turner are like the guy who fishes the moon in the water. People who use it are not so much a changer of history, but an observer of history]

The two walked slowly down the corridors of Hogwarts.

"What's the matter with the newspaper on the train?" Hermione asked about what happened on the train. She was also curious why Tom's bag contained a non-magical newspaper, and it looked as if it was still with Adventures in summer vacation are connected.

Tom took the newspaper out of his pocket and handed it to Hermione. Above is a briefing, presumably in the treasures that Dr. Hunt brought back before the talk, an emerald slab was found with several lines of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs written on it. Many Muggle journalists immediately hyped the slate into a jade record.

"But Cuiyulu and Menis are not from the same era at all," Hermione said with a frown.

Tom nodded, agreeing with Hermione's statement. The first time he saw the news, he felt extremely absurd, and even thought that these newspapers were headline parties.

What is Cuiyulu? It is a jade tablet that records all the secrets of alchemy. in 1900 BC. The Egyptian pharaoh Hermes, his legendary father Thoth, and Hermes' eldest son, Tate, the eldest son, became one "Hermes God". The deity condensed the knowledge of alchemy into 13 sentences, engraved on an emerald plate, and passed it down to the world. People call this text "Cuiyulu". In the Middle Ages, in the workshops of alchemists, there would be a copy of the jade recorded, which was the final guide for their alchemy.

But the problem is that Cuiyulu was produced in 1900 BC. Menes was active in 3100 BC. The first dynasty he created ended in 2850 BC, even if you add the second dynasty that also belonged to the early dynasty. , but only extended to 2686 BC, which is still 700 years away from the birth of Cuiyulu!

Well, the time of the birth of Cuiyulu was divided into the twelfth dynasty of Egypt. How could it be possible to unearth jade records in the tomb of Menes? This is as outrageous as digging out the first emperor's jade seal from the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor.

But Tom thought about it again, and it seemed that there was such a possibility. Because of what he just thought, there is a premise that Jade Jade Record was completed independently by Pharaoh Hermes - but what if it wasn't? What if Pharaoh Hermes referred to the works of his predecessors? Tom felt that the legendary Cuiyulu, like the Book of Changes and Book of Changes, was a summary of the wisdom of the predecessors.

The slate brought out by Sarah from the Pyramid of Menes is very likely to be the prototype of Cuiyulu, which is in line with his previous mission prompt.

He was also strange before. The reminder of the mission said that going to the ruins of the ancient city might obtain the mystery of alchemy, but as a result, he did not encounter the so-called "opportunity" in the pyramid. About alchemy, he also asked Menes himself, but Menes told him that it was his talent - there was really no way, this thing was born. It's like facing a math problem, Xueba can tell you the answer, but can't teach you the ability to know how to do it at a glance.

But now it seems that things have turned around? About the jade slate, Tom decided to bring it to ask Menes himself. This is also the easiest and most direct way. Although it sounds a bit strange, but if you want to ask the origin of the funeral objects, it is definitely a good choice to ask the owner of the tomb directly.

"Never mind, just go back and ask Menis, and prepare a present to visit him next time." Tom ended the topic.

"I don't really want to go back," Hermione said with her hands behind her back and one foot spread out, drawing a semicircle on the ground like a compass, turning her head to look at Tom.

"Where did you really hide Hermione?" Tom jokingly grabbed Hermione's arm and let her snuggle into his arms, "Really Hermione won't hang out in the lounge after curfew. ."

"Oops!" Hermione twisted and followed Tom's way without breaking free. "There must be a lot of people in the bathroom now, and I don't want to huddle with them~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It's better to go back later."

The two walked to the Ravenclaw Tower, but only up the stairs, not to the door of the common room. They sat down by a small window and identified the stars in the night sky.

"Cold?"

"It's not cold."

Still, Hermione squeezed into Tom's arms.

"Can you find the Big Dipper?" Hermione glanced sideways at Tom, and before he could answer, she pointed out the seven stars in the night sky, and gestured twice.

"Tom, look, they're seven in a row like—"

"Like a spoon."

"That's right!" Hermione laughed happily.

"You asked me a question, and I will also test you," Tom's eyes locked on a star, "The fifth brightest star in the night sky, and the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere, which star is it?"
