A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 21 The Dark Lord's Relic is at Hogwarts!

library.

Felix didn't let go of the book, and he didn't hear anything from the window.

Yesterday's public class didn't seem to affect him, although he was the direct cause of such a stir.

He turned the pages of the book with his left hand, and swiped the wand in a small area with his right hand, one by one runes appeared and disappeared in the air.Mrs. Pince stared at Felix for more than half an hour.

Mrs. Pince was a thin, elderly woman who looked malnourished.But she is very suitable for the job of a librarian, because she loves books like hell and has a keen sense of smell, and can always find out and punish students who violate discipline in the first place.

If a student dared to take out his wand in the library and gesticulate, she would definitely kick him out immediately, but Felix was a professor, which made her hesitate.

Fortunately, Felix left quickly with two books, so that she would not be so entangled.

Felix returned to the office and took out a piece of chestnut wood from the suitcase. The magic power poured down the carving knife, carving ancient runes on the surface of the chestnut wood.

Chestnut wood is a kind of wand-making material, but it is like a piece of white paper, without any tendency, and the price is not expensive. It was excavated by Felix and used to practice ancient runes.

The engraving knife infused with magic power left one rune symbol on the surface of the chestnut wood. Every time a complete rune was drawn, it would burst into a scorching red light, and then quietly go out, leaving black traces.

The speed at which Felix carved the runes was so fast that the surface of the chestnut wood kept flickering.The carving knife kept flying, as if he was not carving the rune, but writing an immortal chapter that would go down in history.

A few minutes later, Felix filled the surface of the chestnut wood. He pulled out his wand and brushed it across the surface of the chestnut wood. A thin layer of wood instantly separated and flew to the other side of the table automatically.

Felix then took up the carving knife again and continued working on the chestnut wood.

It wasn't until the chestnut had shrunk three inches that he stopped and stretched in place.

In the corner of the table, thirty thin wood chips have been piled up, like pages of a book, covered with black ancient runes.

Felix calculated a number in his mind, nodded in satisfaction, "272 runes, this is the power I currently have."

He stood up leisurely, stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, his decision to go back to Hogwarts was really correct.

This is the life I want!
"Crash~"

An owl flew in through the window and dropped a letter on the table.

Felix opened the envelope, and after reading the letter, he couldn't help frowning.

This is a letter from an "old friend".

Although Felix has only graduated for three years and has only really traveled for one year, he has traveled far and wide in this year and has quite a lot of experience. In the corner, he could tell which magic black market was closest to him with his eyes closed.

This letter came from a "friend" he met on the black market.

Felix pulled out the parchment, scribbled a string of words, and asked him to meet him at the Hogs Head pub in Hogsmeade on Saturday.

Until the owl flew away, he was still thinking about the purpose of this friend.

He remembered the scene when the two met for the first time.

The man called himself Klein, and he wore the hood on his robe all year round. His face was covered with fog from beginning to end, making it impossible for people to see his true identity.

Klein adheres to the principle of equivalent transactions, such as rare magic manuscripts, magical potions, magical creatures, etc., he has access to them.

Felix had traded with him seven times, and they were both very disciplined.

Therefore, he was also curious as to what Klein's purpose was for finding him.Of course, what is more curious is what stock this friend has recently.

Saturday at ten o'clock.

Felix came to the Hog's Head, early and with only one customer.

Felix walked up to the table of guests, saw the familiar misty face, sat down with a smile.As he sat down, the silhouettes of the two were looming, and their voices were completely isolated from the outside world.

"Klein."

"Felix." It was a neutral voice, neither male nor female, nor age.

There is no shortage of such mysterious existences in the magic world, and the reasons are always various.For example, a dark wizard, or something, avoiding the enemy's pursuit, or maybe just some kind of bad taste.

"What's the matter with me?"

"Inquire about the news."

"what news?"

"A relic of the second Dark Lord."

Felix was silent for a few seconds, his mind constantly turning.

"Yes, but you must first tell me your source of information."

Klein tapped the corner of the table with his fingers, as if weighing, but he quickly said a word, "Wagadu."

"You found that group of crazy witch priests?" Felix was a little surprised. Waggadu is a magic school in Africa. African wizards didn't start using magic wands until the 20th century, which also made their development trajectory different from other magicians. nation.

For example, they also inherit a branch of prophecy magic, the Witch Festival, but outsiders call them the Crazy Witch Festival.

Because this kind of prophecy magic is actually a kind of black magic, every prophecy needs to pay a price-such as a certain limb on your body.

Most importantly, the prophecy is not necessarily accurate...

When Klein mentioned Ouagadou, that was all Felix could think of, because Africa and England had nothing to do with each other, and there was no communication between the two sides.

"Continue." Felix said. He became interested. With Klein's personality, he couldn't find a parallel witch priest, and he must have paid a lot for a clever witch priest to make a prophecy.

"The prophecy says that the Dark Lord's relic will stay at Hogwarts for a year."

Felix's heart trembled, "What exactly is the relic?"

"I don't know, I just know it's very evil."

Felix is ​​a little speechless, I don't know what you are trying to do!

Still evil, you think you are an Auror?
As if seeing Felix's disapproval, Klein said again, "The prophecy I requested is: the secret of Leaping Death."

Almost instantly, Felix was running Occlumency at full strength, and he was "surprised" and said, "You say it again?"

"Leap to death."

"But the Dark Lord is dead."

"That's what the prophecy is."

"You can check it yourself."

"Hogwarts has Dumbledore."

"Are you afraid of him?"

Klein laughed "hehe". Although Felix couldn't see through the fog on his face, he knew that the other party's expression at the moment would not be very good.

Felix pretended to be "contemplative", and said after a long time: "Thank you for the information, but I will not guarantee that I will get the relic. I can only promise that I will not betray you, and I will solve the Dark Lord's secret alone. .”

Klein thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

The two stretched out their hands, their index fingers touched, and a golden pattern bloomed.

This is a temporary magic contract for a period of one year. If he violates it, there will be no punishment for Felix, but by then, Klein will keep track of his position at any time!
You can break the contract if you're not afraid of the reprisals of a mysterious wizard.

　Many readers have questions, so come back and explain.

　　In the agreement, what counts as cracking the Dark Lord's secret?
　　Touching the diary, chatting for a while, or simply destroying it is not considered research, because it is meaningless to both parties.

　　Does anyone care how many decibels the Horcrux shouts when it is destroyed?
　　The content of the agreement, to put it bluntly, is the technology for making Horcruxes.Other than that, nothing else.

　　If you want to change it, you will lose the charm of the dialogue in the novel.This is what I think when I write.
