Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 527 The test questions left by Slytherin

Zhang Xiao put away the parchment and turned to look at the huge bookcase. He had the urge to pack up all the research materials and take them away, but he did not do so in the end.

Instead, he stared deeply at this place, as if he wanted to record everything in his mind.

Then he turned around and left, not forgetting that Velvidakis was still waiting for him at the door.

Whether it is the shocking underworld under the pyramids of ancient Egypt or the kingdom of God above the clouds, they are unprepared for apparation.

I don’t know if it was the entrances and exits left intentionally by the gods or if they didn’t understand apparation.

The body turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared, leaving only this empty room.

'Crackling'

The slight popping sound startled Velvidakis. He sat obediently in the circle, munching bread and mineral water.

Seeing Zhang Xiao suddenly appearing in front of him, he got up and looked alert:

"who are you?"

Zhang Xiaozheng frowned and was immersed in the previous discoveries. At this moment, hearing Velvidakis's words made him pull out of that state, with a look of confusion on his face.

"I told you before I came here that there is an old saying in China. What is it?"

Wilvidakis became more nervous when he noticed that Zhang Xiao didn't answer, and couldn't help but shrink back.

"Is it okay to die if you hear the truth in the morning?"

"Huh... I thought the remaining monster inside transformed into you to trick me. I have read Journey to the West, and there is such a story in it."

Velvidakis breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiao laughed dumbly and casually lifted the circle he drew:

"It's very safe here. There are only ruins left. Let's go and take you to have a look around. We are going back."

"Did you find a clue?"

"Well, it's a bit unexpected, but it's indeed a crucial clue."

Zhang Xiao turned around and looked at the slightly overweight Velvidakis. After thinking about it, he simply snapped his fingers, and the illusory talismans flashed by, and the light of magic also shone.

He immediately felt that his body seemed to be much lighter.

"Wow" did you give me a blessing?

Wilvidakis jumped twice on the spot, easily jumping two to three meters high.

"The kingdom of God is quite big. If we go at your previous speed, we might not be able to finish it in one day, so we can only speed up a little bit. I have other things to do."

The two of them walked towards the zigzag sacred mountain again.

Every palace and even every temple there could make Vilvidakis shout out loudly, and he was shaking with excitement.

Those ancient Greek texts can finally be understood now that he has translated them.

Just like what Zhang Xiao had thought before, it was probably some words of praise or a description of the priesthood.

Just some unruly buildings are so spectacular. You can imagine how gorgeous these divine kingdoms were when the gods were still there.

Velvidakis speculated that the descriptions of the Kingdom of God were records left by mortals favored by the gods or their slaves.

He had been guessing where the corpses of the gods had gone all the way, and Zhang Xiao couldn't tell him that they were collected by the founder of his academy and used as research materials.

Even Zhang Xiao himself didn't understand why Slytherin was so obsessed with human enhancement.

In terms of strength, Slytherin is definitely the strongest group of people. That is to say, the Magic Network that Dumbledore mentioned did not even have a prototype at that time. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the four giants of Slytherin to take a further step.

When Virvidakis finally stood in the garden of Queen Hera, looking at the golden apple tree with tears streaming down his face, Zhang Xiao felt that he was willing to die, and he was probably willing to do so.

"By the way, there is one thing." Velvidakis carefully folded up the sketch of Zeus's Temple and asked pleadingly: "When you delete my memory later, can you please not take away these sketches I drew?

Can you leave me a few as souvenirs? "

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked at him a few times, and asked strangely: "Why should I delete your memory?"

"what?"

Velvidakis was also stunned. He thought hard for a while and said cautiously: "Maybe we need to protect the secret?"

"But this Olympus Palace is not ours. In theory, according to inheritance law, it belongs to the Greek government."

"A wizard? Are you so enlightened?" Wilvidakis murmured.

Zhang Xiao shook his head: "Maybe others don't think so, but I can make others shut up, that's all. But you reminded me."

He took out his wand and smiled at Velvidakis: "The memory of the Olympus Palace can be preserved, but the method of opening the door must be blurred first. It is not yet time for ordinary people to come and play."

"No problem, I understand!"

Wilvidakis was already so surprised that he didn't care about such a trivial matter and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, everything will be forgotten soon!"

"Zhang, I am very happy that you have cracked the mystery of the Olympus Palace again. This is a regret in my many years of traveling.

As for what you said, I was very shocked to find Slytherin's research room in it, but it may also be because he lived in a different era than ours.

Perhaps there is some information from their time that has not been lost.

All in all, this is a great discovery and exciting!

I can't wait to go there, see what Slytherin left behind, and visit the legendary kingdom of the Greek gods, but unfortunately, there are many meetings of the International Federation of Wizards.

They take up a lot of my time. I can only go there again after a while. "

Zhang Xiao put the note down, and Fox was combing his feathers in front of him. He raised his head and chirped, and the flames showed a small number '4' in the air.

Indicates that this is already the fourth time the letter has been delivered.

"I know, you don't need to remind me every time." Zhang Xiao touched Fox along its feathers. It was warm all over, and it felt like a warm baby to the touch.

Fox glanced at him and asked impatiently if there was anything else.

"No, say hello to Mr. Dumbledore for me -"

Watching Fox disappear into a ball of flame, Zhang Xiao sat in front of the fire, the warm firelight shining on his face, which was a little hot.

The parchment left by Slytherin also made a copy and sent it over. Like himself, Dumbledore also felt a little familiar.

But since it is something left by Slytherin to future generations, why is it so vague? Can't you write it more clearly?

Zhang Xiao took out the parchment again and stared at the simple sketch on it, which was an isolated island above the sea.

There is nothing else.

There is nothing magical about this clue.

Zhang Xiao touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Unlike Muggles today, wizards can use longitude and latitude to mark points, so many times, wizards rely on magic maps.

The range displayed by the magic map is not large, but it can show your position on the map, which is quite similar to the mobile phone maps that will be commonly used in the future.

Or just make a guide directly, which is probably the same as a compass, but it doesn't refer to north and south, but the magic distance to the destination.

So the thing left behind by this parchment is neither magical nor Muggle, so it seems very dull.

But is Slytherin stupid? Definitely not staying still.

Zhang Xiao thought about it, and a hint of blue light appeared in his eyes. He had seen this parchment before, and it was indeed filled with magical light.

After all, for parchment to last this long, it would take some magic.

Under the magical vision, a glimmer of white light suddenly appeared on the surface of the entire parchment. This is magic in a solidified state. Many places in Hogwarts are filled with such magic spells.

For example, stairs and the like, only this kind of magic can make these stairs with a history of thousands of years still usable.

Zhang Xiao looked at it carefully. The 'Magic Eye' can see magic. It does not mean that you can see the magic spell recited by the caster at that time, but it is similar to a magical state that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.

In other words, what I actually felt was the result that Slytherin wanted to achieve when he cast the spell - not to rot, but to stay in this state forever.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiao's eyes focused and his eyebrows knitted together.

Why does this crystal white magic light feel a little split?

After looking at it carefully for a long time, even using the state of emptiness and clarity, he finally confirmed that the fluorescence on the parchment was two layers stacked on top of each other.

But the strange thing is that no matter how you look, you can only 'see' the solidifying spell.

interesting! Is this a test question left by Slytherin?

An unsolvable idiot is not worthy of meeting Slytherin?

Zhang Xiao casually turned the stone into a table, spread the parchment on the table, and began to think more deeply.

There are two layers of light, indicating that there are two magic spells, and one is covered under the solidifying spell.

It is very rare to be unable to see it. Even if it is an extremely complex compound magic, the observer will just have an abnormal headache with too many and dense ideas and cannot sort out the logic.

It cannot be cracked.

In other words, the 'Magic Eye' is also a kind of real vision, but it is aimed at magic.

Its essence is actually composed of various detection magics. Anyone who walks through it will leave traces unless there is no thought when releasing this magic.

But how is this possible?

Zhang Xiao pinched his chin and thought about all the magic that he could think of that showed a bright white color.

There are quite a few types.

Or the idea of solving the problem is still on why the second magic spell can't be seen.

The old method is to first guess the intention of the person who asked the question. This is how I learned the Olympiad in my previous life. The essence of solving the question is the game between the person who asked the question and the person who made the question.

Slytherin's parchment invited future generations to meet him, and left an address without any location information, assuming that Slytherin was not that stupid.

In other words, there is indeed a very clear address on the parchment, so the only possibility is that it is on the two magic spells.

One was to keep the parchment intact, and the remaining one was the puzzle.

To simplify it, this magic can reveal the exact address and help future generations travel to the destination to meet Slytherin.

To simplify it further, what kind of magic can do this and make it appear bright white.

Wait a minute!

Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up. Maybe his thinking was wrong. The question should be focused on why this curse can't see thoughts?

His breathing was slightly rapid, as if something was roaring in his mind, something was about to come out.

His mind was spinning desperately, trying to catch that little bit of aura.

What kind of magic. Can't see ideas?

what kind

can not see.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiao slapped the table in front of him hard, and with a crisp crackling sound, the table was knocked back to stone.

The parchment fell lightly, but was caught.

Depend on! The answer is obviously very simple! ! !

Unfinished magic can't see the idea!

The magic was only partially cast and was not completely completed, so naturally it would not be visible.

Zhang Xiao walked back and forth excitedly, and now the problem was simpler.

Magic does not have to be complete. Some magic is divided into two or three steps.

For example, in the famous blood curse, the first step is to determine the bloodline, the second step is to determine the transformed animal, and the third step is to determine the time of the curse.

Another example is door key.

The first step is to transmit the specific information of the location, and the second step is to chant the spell to complete the production of the entire door key.

Zhang Xiao looked at the parchment in front of him, feeling like a tsunami in his heart.

The magical color of the door key is exactly white!

He took a deep breath and held the wand tremblingly with rare excitement. The cold touch calmed him down a bit.

Whether your guess is correct or not depends on the next step.

If my guess is correct, I only need to add the spell to complete the production of the door key. If there is no input location, it will only fail.

The tip of the lightning-struck wooden wand lightly touched the parchment.

"Mentos"

The tip of the staff suddenly lit up with a bright light, and the entire parchment also lit up. The light was fleeting.

It was like the parchment flickered at a very fast speed.

Done! It’s really done!

The corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth slowly raised, and finally turned into a happy smile. In the magical field of vision that originally had only the solidification spell, a 'portkey' suddenly appeared - I hope to take the user to a place.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Laughter echoed in the wilderness, and he walked back and forth several times, putting everything away with excitement and excitement.

Zhang Xiao rubbed his hands and felt a little excited. To be honest, Slytherin treated him like a famous figure in a history book.

There was certainly no fear or anything like that, but there was something akin to surprise, or a sense of unreality.

If Slytherin could really survive until now.

There was even a strange feeling, as if I had finally defeated Elden Pidan in a game in my previous life, and was about to complete the level with excitement and thrill.

Slytherin, Slytherin, ever since I received a letter from Dumbledore in the first grade, it seems that he has been looming in his life. As if by fate, he finally found his trace.

But don't be careless. Who knows what's going on over there?

Zhang Xiao tried his best to stabilize his mind, and then he was in full swing!

The confidence brought by the surge in strength filled his entire mind.

Then he touched the parchment lightly, and suddenly the familiar feeling came over him again.

His whole body seemed to be pulled hard by someone, and he quickly rushed into the sky.

Even in such an environment, Zhang Xiao still remained awake enough.

Soon he traveled through space and landed on the ground in a very calm posture.

It was quiet all around and the fog was dispersing.

There was only an ugly dementor in black robes floating in mid-air in front of him, staring blankly at him.

Zhang Xiao looked at the very familiar slap mark on the dementor's hood.

Holy shit! Old acquaintance!

Holy shit! Azkaban!
