Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 279

"The answer to this mystery is surprisingly simple."

On the night when he got the stair operation data, Connor solved this problem that he thought would be difficult.

As for how to solve it.
Um, just pinch your fingers and count, and it will come out.

Arithmetic divination is so magical.
It's of no use, though, because Connor pinches the numbers. He can't read them.

The things calculated by arithmetic divination are very metaphysical, and he can't even express the results of the divination in words. It looks like a string of numbers, a block of letters, or a spell, but none of them can be written by Connor Information.

"This is really a headache. This is probably another language, and I haven't learned it." Connor said distressedly.

There are many languages ​​in the magical world, not just ancient runes. The spells read by wizards belong to the Latin family. As we all know, the Latin alphabet is born from the Greek alphabet, and the Greek alphabet is the Hebrew alphabet. The first is the Phoenician alphabet, and then the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
An outstanding wizard must be proficient in multiple magical languages, but learning languages ​​depends on accumulation. Connor is still young, and he only knows a few languages. For the time being, he can't see what the hidden information is.

But it doesn’t bother him, he doesn’t know how to do it, he will know if he asks the person who is looking for a meeting, if he is undecided, ask Dumbledore for advice, anyway, there is no charge for asking questions.
When Connor pushed open the door to the headmaster's office, he saw Dumbledore writhing on a stool in his pajamas and a funny nightcap.

"." Connor looked around and turned the volume to the highest, turning the principal's room into a disco music box, unable to complain: "Principal Dumbledore, you are really getting younger and younger."

Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and the dynamic concert suddenly turned into a soothing concert hall. This man is very skilled in playing this, Dumbledore shook his head: "This man is old and doesn't learn to entertain himself. Not a good time."

Connor sat on the exclusive chair: "Maybe you can teach Gandalf how to play monster cards, so you won't be too bored."

Dumbledore quietly put away the Facebook on his desktop, and said with a smile: "I think chatting with others is more interesting than playing monster cards."

Connor rolled his eyes and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Who did you give the new version of Facebook to?"

"Ahem, I gave it to some old friends. Connor, your Facebook is a good thing, and it deserves to be vigorously promoted." Dumbledore stroked his beard and asked, "I don't know if you can send this message to each other. function, to be used by multiple people at the same time?"

Yo, you can think of the group chat function, Dumbledore's vision is quite sharp Connor nodded: "Of course, I was researching in this direction, and it can basically be realized. When this function is developed At that time, the new version of Facebook will almost be officially released."

"Not bad, I never doubted your creativity." Dumbledore smiled, and he knew he was in a good mood at a glance. It seems that there is no suspense about who the Facebook book was given to.
"So Connor, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Connor handed over his Facebook page: "Professor, take a look at this. This is the trajectory of the stairs in the school for a year. Look here, the stairs in our castle do not change randomly, they run regularly. of."

Dumbledore took over Facebook and looked at it seriously. The more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became: "Is this... Ravenclaw's secret message?"

Connor nodded: "Nine out of ten times, this is most likely the key to finding Ravenclaw's treasure."

Dumbledore closed his eyes, and opened them after a long time: "Is it a secret that can only be discovered after a year of observation? Connor, you discovered it with that Conan painting? It's amazing."

"Yes, I used arithmetic and divination to calculate, and I easily got a bunch of information, but I couldn't figure it out, so I came to ask you for advice." Connor spread his hands and said truthfully.

"That's right, wait a minute, let me try." Dumbledore closed his eyes again. Arithmetic divination is not a spell, and does not require a wand to cast it. It is more like a "calculation method like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division." ", but it is calculated with special magic lines.

"Thoth grandes aggezza è lapiù granderic chezza dell'umanità" (cough cough, English words don't count as water). Dumbledore spat out a series of pronunciations that didn't make sense, and Connor was taken aback for a while.

"This is the ancient Egyptian language." Dumbledore rubbed his brows and said, "It is also a language with its own magic power. It was created by the legendary ancient Egyptian god of wisdom Thoth, and it is the source magic of the spells we use today." language."

"What does this incantation mean?" Connor asked in confusion. The incantation was so long and smelly that he couldn't remember it after listening to it once.

"Well, there is no special meaning, and there is no magical effect, if you insist." Dumbledore's expression was a little strange: "The meaning of this sentence probably means [extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings]. "

Connor: "???"

"That's it?" I'm a bitch, I have worked hard for a year, and I never slack off in observation every day, but you gave me such useless information?No, Granny Ravenclaw, do you want to be so tricky?
Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "There is really no other information, this is the most reasonable result I sorted out from a bunch of messy information."

"Maybe... this is not information about Ravenclaw secrets, but just a commemorative signal from the original design of the staircase?"

"." This is really possible. Doesn't it mean that programmers like to add some private goods in the programs they write, leaving their own "traces"? Is this just a handwriting left by Ravenclaw on a whim back then? ?So am I wasting my time? ? ?Doing a lot of stupid things is a waste of effort? !
Connor spread out like a deflated rubber ball: "So I did a lot of useless work?"

If you think about it seriously, if Ravenclaw really left any clues back then, it's unlikely that they would be put in a staircase change that lasted for a year. Isn't that sincere to prevent people from finding it?Thinking about it this way, could it be that my starting point was wrong?I have been fighting wits with the air all the time?

Looking at Connor who was getting more and more sluggish, Dumbledore held back his smile, but his face showed an unbearable expression: "Connor, this is just a conjecture. There may be other information that we haven't discovered."

"." Why do I think this old man is laughing at me?Connor sighed and said, "Forget it, anyway, it's Conan who does the work and not me, so there's nothing to be sad about."

"."

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm a little tired. This week's magic scroll experiment allows me to take a leave of absence."

"That's as good as you are happy."
