Retirement from Hogwarts

After lunch, several people took an unmanned shuttle to the center of the entire development zone.After they got off the bus, a towering fluid building wrapped in a multi-layered ice-water composite curtain wall that was changing all the time appeared in front of them.

"Is this the Ravenclaw Mutual Aid Association you're talking about?" Neville asked in a tone of voice, looking at the 'bubble' several thousand meters high in front of him.This was the first time he had seen such a building completely shrouded in ice and water.

"Yes, it's right here." Jack smiled and nodded. "If it weren't for taking photos here and not participating in those skyscraper selections, the world's tallest skyscraper would have long been free of the tycoons from Desert Star."

"But how are we going to get in?" Neville couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed looking at this building with no opening at all.

"Just go in." Hermione looked at Neville, who had an expression on his face that looked like you were kidding me, and walked straight in with his disbelieving eyes.It was as if the water curtain didn't exist and didn't wet her clothes at all.

"Is this water curtain fake?" Neville blinked blankly and asked Jack beside him.

"Of course it's true, but because of the magic released in these waters, these waters cannot move away from their proper positions." As they were speaking, they who were originally in the sun were suddenly shrouded in shadows.

"This is why this building uses this kind of fluid curtain wall, because it is changing all the time." Jack pointed to the room that suddenly protruded above his head in Neville's completely dull eyes. "Okay, it's useless to talk more. You'd better experience it for yourself."

After he finished speaking, he pushed Neville hard on the back and pushed him into the water curtain.Just when Neville thought he was going to choke on his saliva, a Bubble Curse had already enveloped his mouth and nose the moment he entered.If it weren't for the wet feeling on his body reminding him, he wouldn't even be sure he was actually in the water.

Just as he was about to take steps to leave, he found that he had left the water curtain amid a string of "Visitor identity confirmation - Neville Longbottom, authentication completed."And there is no longer any feeling of moisture on my body.

"How does it feel when you come here for the first time?" Jack, who followed him in, asked Neville who looked incredulous.

"This is simply," Neville thought hard about all the words he knew. In the end, all he could think of was "incredible."

"Most people think so when they first come here." Jack nodded in surprise after hearing his words, and then he waved to a female bionic golem on the edge of the hall. "Take this gentleman to conference room D23-784. He will participate in the recommendation 'interview' for peripheral members of the mutual aid association."

"Okay, Sir Jack." The demon nodded to Jack after hearing what he said.Then he guided Neville into the water curtain again.Immediately afterwards, the two figures disappeared from his and Hermione's sight along with the water flow.

"Then, it's up to you, my tour guide." Jack bowed and winked at Hermione.

"Then come with me." Hermione looked at Jack who was making an exaggerated social salute to her, and she also reached out and put her hand on his arm.He was guided into the water curtain and moved with the water to the library at the top of the building.

"This is it, the rune magic area." Hermione took Jack through the big library for a while and then stood in front of a reading room door and said.

Library Reading Room: 221B Baker Street

Manager: Sherlock Holmes

All wizards interested in borrowing rune magic please

The two of them read in a low voice while looking at the message on the door number.

"Where are you? Why is there no place in the back?" Hermione looked at the door number and asked Jack strangely.

"Please come to me for an interview." A voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling them.

They hurriedly turned around and saw an elegant man wearing a long black windbreaker and a small cloak appearing behind them at some point.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sparrow and Miss Granger. You can call me Sherlock, that's what my friends call me. If you are really interested in rune magic, come in with me. " He gave a gentleman's salute to the two of them, and then without waiting for their response, he passed them and walked to the door of the reading room, opened the door with the key and walked in.

"Does he mean that we have passed the interview?" Hermione looked at Holmes' back and asked in disbelief.

"I guess so." Jack shrugged, then pulled Hermione in with him.

"Mr. Sparrow, I have heard some rumors about you," said Holmes suddenly, leaning on the armchair by the fire, after the two men had entered. "Some people say you are a genius, some say you are a greedy devil, and some say you are a cynical prodigal. What do you think?"

"What do I think?" Jack couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing his question. "Although these statements have a certain degree of accuracy, they are all too one-sided. I am just a child who does whatever he wants."

"A child who does whatever he wants?" Holmes couldn't help but fell into thought after hearing his words. "Okay, let's just say you are this kind of person. But I heard that you have never been very interested in the magic in the mutual aid association. Why did you think of coming to my place today?"

"I want to combine the original magic words in rune magic into my spell wheel. This should be a good improvement for my strength," Jack said with a shrug.

"Integrating the original magic text that represents the authority of the elemental sea into the wheel of spells?" Holmes listened to Jack's words and a series of lenses quickly popped out of the space cracks that suddenly appeared around him, as if he was analyzing what this creature was. The structure was generally analyzed around Jack. "Do you know what happened to the last person who had this idea?"

"I know." Jack nodded solemnly after answering Holmes's warning question, "He was happy for a few minutes when he first succeeded, but then he was directly drained of his magic pool and vitality by the energy countercurrent of the elemental sea. , directly turned into a human being.”

"Since you know his consequences, you should also know that even the legendary rune mages who use this kind of magic must be careful to let these runes linger around them, and dare not let them interact with anything other than their own spirit. Is there any direct connection between my own magic power?" Holmes looked at Jack who had no intention of giving up and warned him again.

"Of course. I know what I'm doing." Jack glanced gratefully at this man who was different from the rumored Holmes, and then nodded affirmatively.

"In that case, I won't say more. I will open all the books in this reading room to you. I hope it will be helpful to you." Holmes looked at Jack's firm eyes and shook his head helplessly. gave up trying to persuade him.
