Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

I don’t know what kind of material the pocket sewn on the inside of Ivan’s jacket is made of. Anyway, it is several times larger than the space pocket that Andre used to create a sniffing abdominal bag. Of course, compared to his suitcase It's definitely not as good as it is, but if you just use it to carry some things, this thing is much more convenient than your own space pocket. At least it can hold most of your belongings.

It's just that although this pocket has a large space, there are not many things stored in it. Except for some materials that may be leftover from brewing special potions, most of them are small items.

Although he has considerable attainments in alchemy, it is still difficult for Andre to identify the specific functions of these objects, not to mention that this is a collection of a rules wizard, not to mention its practical value. , the preciousness of things is definitely not low.

Sophia picked up a golden compass with some curiosity. She originally just wanted to see what use this thing had, but as soon as she opened the cover of the compass, the red pointer on it immediately pointed in the direction of Andre.

Andre also saw this scene. He frowned and had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"Isn't this compass used by Van Dijk to track me?"

Of course, Sophia couldn't answer his question. She lowered her head and looked at the pointer pointing firmly at Andre. That direction was neither south nor north.

Andre thought for a moment, and then said to Miss Witch: "Look at this compass, let's go outside and try it."

Sophia nodded. If, as they suspected, this compass was used by Ivan to track Andre, then it would be enough to explain why the boy was found by Stephanie as soon as he arrived in the Arizona desert.

And then they also verified that their guess was indeed true. The pointer on the compass would indeed rotate in Andre's direction.

"It should have been at Christmas last year. I met Van Dijk at that time. Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore came in time and was not taken away by him at that time. He must have done something to me, so I Will be tracked by this compass." Andre said with some fear. He originally thought that under Dumbledore's protection, Ivan would be unable to do anything small, but he didn't expect that the other party would still mark him.

However, thinking that in the huge cave under the palace, Eva was able to shield Teresa and Ivan and communicate carefully with herself, I think that even if the strong men in these rule fields are not as strong as each other, they will have some special features. means, so Dumbledore should really be unaware of it.

As for whether Ivan might have done it after catching Andrei, there is no need to consider this point. At that time, he showed no ability to escape from the opponent's hands, and after being stripped of two sacred acorns, After that, it can basically be said that he will definitely die. There is no need for Ivan to do anything extra. He must have been marked by Ivan before.

The only thing that needs to be considered now is whether there is only one compass, or whether Ivan is prepared a lot, because when he came to the United States to track Andre, it was not the mentor Mr., but Stephanie the apprentice. Since the other party can He found him not long after he set foot on the Colorado Plateau, so he might have similar tracking tools in his hand, and after Stephanie was taken away by Ivan and the others, Andre did not see Ivan coming from She had retrieved something in her hand.

In this way, Stephanie, who is now staying with Eva, can actually always find traces of herself.

Andre sighed. He didn't know where Eva was now. What's more, although the witch seemed easy to talk to, he actually knew from Sophia's mouth that Eva was an out-and-out woman. She is a research madman, and she conducts human experiments that are expressly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic of various countries. She does not have many moral concepts in her heart.

Although he didn't know why the other party let him go this time, he didn't feel that Eva really treated him as a friend.

So even if Eva can still be found now, it may not be easy to get her to hand over the tracking tool in Stephanie's hand, not to mention that he still can't find the other party.

For now, Andre doesn't actually need to worry about this. After all, he will definitely not leave the UK again in the short term. With Dumbledore's protection, not to mention Eva, not even Theresa dares to come to him easily, but He can't stay here for the rest of his life, so sooner or later he has to find a way to remove this mark on himself. Otherwise, as soon as he appears in the outside world, he will be found. What if Theresa also has such a prop in her hand? Then he wouldn't be able to even step outside the UK.

Sophia obviously thought of this, and she said, "Why don't you ask Professor Dumbledore to help you solve this problem?"

It's a pity that Andre shook his head. He didn't tell Miss Witch his guess just now. In fact, if Dumbledore could find out that there was something wrong with him, he would have taken the initiative to help him solve it long ago. But Mr. Principal, since last Christmas, He was sent to the United States before arriving, and no one was found to have been tampered with by Ivan for such a long time. This is enough to show how covert Ivan's manipulations were on him. I hope Dumbledore can handle it. It's not realistic either.

"I will tell Professor Dumbledore, but there is little hope. Anyway, we will not leave the UK for the time being, so we don't have to worry too much about this thing." Andre said, although this thing is indeed a trouble, in a short time There is really no need to worry about it. As for the future, maybe by the time he needs to leave the UK, his strength has truly entered the realm of rules. At that time, there is no need to be afraid of Teresa or Eva coming to his door.

Sophia also nodded. To be honest, she was not Andre. She was able to escape from Teresa and Ivan this time, and even beat the mentor who was the shadow of her heart to death. She no longer wanted to Leave Hogsmeade again.

After putting the golden compass away, the two took inventory of the remaining items, but they found no specific uses and could only keep it for later research.

Gu</span>After cleaning up the spoils this time, it was the turn of the two of them to solve their current figure problems.

Sophia, who has fused the power of Leviathan's blood, has experienced a greater physical change than Andre, who has fused her properties with the Holy Acorn. She is now about two and a half meters tall, which is very important to her daily life. This caused some inconvenience, as they were not hybrid giants like Hagrid who were accustomed to their huge size.

Andre himself is almost two meters tall. You must know that he is only 13 years old now. This height is already considered outstanding among all Hogwarts students.

"Sophia, did you have an extra memory in your mind when you merged your bloodline before?" Regarding the issue of body shape, Andre didn't have much clue at the moment. He first asked the witch about that memory.

But Sophia looked confused, she didn't know what memory it was.

It seems that it is because the power of rules contained in the blood is not as strong as the specific potion, so only he has this memory. Of course, if Eva lets Stephanie take the potion she took away, then The apprentice lady must also be able to obtain this memory, but I don't know if she will tell Eva.

After telling the witch lady about his findings, Andre fell into deep thought again. Instead of continuing to study that memory, they had now left the palace. Even if they knew something, it would be of no use for the time being. They wanted to start from It would definitely take a lot of time to find useful information in Leviathan's long memory, so he was prepared to wait until he was free to retrieve the information from this memory in his mind.

What he is mainly thinking about now is how to get his and Sophia's body shape back to normal. If he goes out like this now, the teachers and classmates at school will probably think he is sick. How can he not see his height jump from 1.7 meters to [-] meters in a few days? Yes, that’s not how it develops.

It's a pity that after all, his time to learn magic is still too short, and what he has learned about the field of rules and the inheritance of ancient warlocks is even less than that of Sophia, who has studied with Teresa for a year. It is beyond our capabilities to find solutions to current problems.

"Are you thinking about how to restore our height to normal?" Sophia also saw Andre's thoughts. She smiled and said: "Actually, when I was in the United States, I learned some knowledge about blood fusion. Generally, Fusion of the blood of large magical creatures will indeed cause the problem we have now, but it is not impossible to solve it."

Andre was surprised. Although he and Sophia talked about some things from last year on the way back to England from the Atlantic Ocean, he really didn't know that Miss Witch actually learned something from Teresa.

"Theresa has always hoped that my strength can be improved," Sophia understood what Andre meant, and she explained: "It should be considered that the stronger I am, the higher the power she can extract after merging blood. , anyway, she is not worried that my strength will exceed hers."

This is a fact. Even if Sophia has the blood of an ancient warlock, in the final analysis it is just a thin bloodline inherited for many years. Her talent is not that outstanding. Even if Theresa gives her everything to teach her, she can only get one or two. It is absolutely impossible for Miss Witch to improve to a level that can match her within years. In this case, she will naturally not worry, but will hope that Sophia's strength will be as strong as possible.

"Actually, I guess if the Leviathan hadn't just died in the past few days, Teresa would even hope that I could ascend to the realm of rules and implement the plan," Sophia continued: "Because I am the only one who has stepped into the realm of rules. After entering that realm, she was confident that after extracting the power of my fused bloodline, she entered the level of the High Table Member in one fell swoop. Only this time not only did Leviathan's life span completely run out, but you also happened to have two Holy Acorns. , even if the power of bloodline is not enough for her to advance, if she is fused with a sacred acorn, the improvement she can get is enough."

Miss Witch's guess is actually the truth. Teresa did think about it. But what the two of them didn't know was that the reason why Sophia was not taken seriously when she was under Ivan, and she didn't even get the mentor's attention. The guidance is also because Ivan is worried that Sophia is too strong and will improve Teresa too much. Although the two have a cooperative relationship, they are also competitive with each other.

That's why Teresa was so angry at Ivan after finding Sophia in Norway. Not only did this mentor actually lose the witch girl, but also because of Sophia's strength at the time, and she wasn't even free yet. The apprentices of the Magic Guild are powerful, and she obviously knows that Ivan has not taught the witch lady at all. If it were not for the unbreakable oath between the two, Teresa might have wanted to kill Ivan.

"What you said is indeed possible, but we don't have to worry about it now. There is nothing Theresa can do to us for the time being, as long as we don't leave the UK." Andre also agreed.

"Well," Sophia nodded: "Then let me talk about bloodline fusion. In fact, most of the official members of the Salem Witch Association have experienced bloodline fusion. Of course, the magical creatures they fused are powerful and powerful. Weak, but certainly not a legendary beast like Leviathan, but many of them choose magical creatures that are very huge. As far as I know, Ms. Gray is fused with the blood of the fire dragon."

It's hard to tell that Eva Gray, who looks quiet and weak, chose the bloodline of a magical creature to be a fire dragon. But it's not too strange. In today's magical world, the most powerful creature is a fire dragon. It's a little easier to find. After all, this creature is full of treasures. Wizards even set up various fire dragon breeding farms. If you have money, you don't even need to go hunting in the wild like Andre did in Hungary for the first time. You can just hunt them directly. One can be purchased from a breeding farm.

"I have seen similar records in the library of the Salem Witch Association," Sophia continued: "After fusing these large magical creatures, the wizard's body will increase in size in a short time. In fact, you You should have this experience when you start using the Holy Acorn to fuse the characteristics of the Hungarian Horntail Dragon, but it’s just not as obvious as the bloodline fusion.”

"Yes." Andre said. After he drank the special potion of the Hungarian Horntail Dragon, his height did increase to a certain extent. Of course, more of it was actually muscles, which instantly filled up from the original small bamboo pole. , but no one except himself knows this.

"The impact of the Holy Acorn should be subtle, and at most it is reflected in the height and body shape, so the impact on wizards is actually not big, but the blood fusion is different. Some creatures with unique positions of special organs, once Fusing their blood will even grow new organs on the body. Therefore, the Witch Association has actually studied the solution within the witch association. After all, most members still need to contact other wizards, and they cannot wear a horn or carry a One tail out.”
