From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Calvin temporarily put aside the sadness of separation and asked the two of them: "Bathida, and Nico, how much do you know about Stonehenge?"

"Stonehenge?" Bathida frowned slightly, "I thought you were going to ask about that mirror."

"Putting the mirror aside in advance, I can't do anything about it for the time being," Calvin avoided the topic, "Now I really want to know more about Stonehenge."

"Stonehenge," Nico rapped his knuckles on the table, "I only know that it is a very ancient magic circle. The protection of it by the British wizarding community even preceded the implementation of the Statute of Secrecy."

Calvin looked at Bathida again, hoping she could tell some useful information.

"Don't look at me," Basilda shrugged, "I'm much younger than Nico, and I know even less than him."

"Okay." Calvin was a little helpless. He didn't expect that the two old antiques in the magic world didn't know much about Stonehenge. He could only ask other more ancient people - such as the Big Four.

Calvin took out the parchment with the magic words recorded on it from his sleeve and placed it in front of Bathida. "I copied these magic words from the stones of Stonehenge. Can you translate them?"

"Let me take a look," Bascida put down the wine glass, picked up the parchment, and looked at it carefully. Nicola Flamel also leaned her head to look at it.

"Interesting, very interesting." Bascida looked at the parchment and traced the magic symbols on the paper in the air with her fingers.

"These are not translation magic words, but practical magic words." Bascida held an outlined magic text in her hand and tried to tame it.

"Practical runes," Calvin thought for a moment, "Are they the runes in your office used for heating and lighting?"

"Yes, it's that kind of magic text." Bascida nodded, "For example, this magic text is 'protection'."

Bascida controlled the magic text in her hand to attach to a glass bottle, and then threw it to the ground. The bottle was intact.

"Then the magic text on this entire page is for protection?"

"I'm not sure about this yet. I haven't seen some magic texts before. I have to go back and study them. If you are anxious, I can help you ask others. I know a young man about your age who is very interested in practical magic texts. The article is very well researched," Bascida said.

"No need to ask others," Nico Flamel took the parchment from Bascida's hand, "I know these runes."

"Do you know these magic texts?" Bascida was a little unconvinced.

Nico Flamel smiled faintly and said, "Oh, Bablin, I am more than 300 years older than you, so it is normal to know more."

"Okay, then you tell me." Bascida said angrily.

"I dare say that these magic symbols are the oldest magic symbols in Europe, or even the oldest in the world."

"These magic texts first appeared in the Lascaux Caves in the Dordogne Province of France, where there is a magical relic dating back 5000 years."

"5000 years?" Calvin and Bathida exclaimed at the same time, "How could it be preserved for so long?"

"It is indeed a magical relic from 5000 years ago. Inside the cave are super-large magic paintings painted by prehistoric wizards. I discovered that cave more than 500 years ago and successfully created the magic stone using the ancient magic left in it." Nico said.

"5000 years," Calvin shook his head slightly, "I can't think of any way to preserve my magic painting for more than 8000 years."

Nico Flamel shook the parchment, "The answer is this parchment. I saw these magic words in that cave. Except for the super large magic painting, the entire cave was filled with these magic words. arts."

"After I refined the magic stone, it took me 30 years to completely decipher these magic words. These are the four most common magic words."

Nico Flamel pointed at the runic symbols on the parchment: "'Protection', 'Stability', 'Safety', 'Seal'."

"The rest of the magic words assist the operation of these four magic words. Generally speaking, their function is to protect the magic paintings and extend the existence time of the magic paintings."

With this said, Calvin and Bathida could easily understand.

"In other words, the prehistoric wizards who built Stonehenge and the wizards who painted the Lascaux cave paintings used the same method to preserve their magic." Calvin said, "Then will the protection of this magic text fail? "

"It's very difficult," Nico said. "It basically won't fail. The protective runes in the Lascaux Cave are still effective even after 5000 years. If these runes appear on the stones of Stonehenge, I think the stone The formation should be safe."

"That would be so interesting," Calvin slowly rubbed his chin, "Stonehenge."

"Why is this interesting?" Bascida asked with great interest.

Calvin thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "The Ministry of Magic spends [-] galleons every month to prepare potions to suppress large-scale magic fluctuations at Stonehenge."

"This is just to make money," Nico said bluntly. "In such a long time, the magic text may indeed be damaged, but if it costs [-] Galleons every month, it would be better to just dismantle Stonehenge."

"You're right, Nico, those who manage Stonehenge in the Ministry of Magic are indeed embezzling the funds of the Ministry of Magic. The question now is, what benefits can I get from this matter?" Calvin's face showed He gave a sneer.

"That's your business," Nico said calmly, "I'm old and not interested in those intrigues. But if you plan to study Stonehenge, remember to call me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Flamel, I will never forget you."

"Oh, by the way, Calvin," Bascida said suddenly, "the two of us called you here to ask how your research on that mirror went."

Calvin curled his lips, "On that mirror, there are only some very basic progress, but if you want to do more in-depth research, there is not enough time. I have already planned to find time to release the mysterious man."

"If you don't need it temporarily, lend me the mirror. I want to try if I can use four magic words to strengthen the mirror." Bascida stretched out her hand to Calvin and asked for the mirror.

Calvin asked hesitantly, "Are you sure there is no problem? I remember the last time you were almost seduced and corrupted by a mysterious man."

"Give it to her, Calvin," Nico Flamel began. "She'll be fine, I promise."

Bascida looked at Calvin proudly, as if she was showing off something.

Calvin found it a bit funny that a person who was hundreds of years old still looked like a little girl. He then took out a crystal bottle with a silver mirror from his sleeve and handed it to Bascida.
