Sword and Magic and Taxi

Along the way, Dumbledore did not mention a word about Grindelwald, and both Zhao Mai and Tolkien knew that it was Grindelwald who allowed them to gain admission to Hogwarts. There is an obvious connection: Dumbledore-The Witcher Curse-Grindelwald.

Tolkien was a native British man. If he had the blood or ability of a wizard, Zhao Mai would not be surprised at all. He also understood his situation very well. Even if he got lucky, he still had the ability of a wizard, but he had only been in this world for a few days and he was able to get Hogwarts to send out his admission notice? There are only three possibilities: Dumbledore is all over Hogwarts, or Grindelwald has very high-level connections, or there is something wrong with the Witchfinding Curse.

Or even all three.

They followed Dumbledore, climbing up the solid stone stairs and into the staff dormitory tower. Zhao Mai had many followers and was arranged in the largest room on the top floor, with Tolkien one floor below him. After exiting the spiral staircase between the two floors, two people can pass through the hanging ladder between the upper and lower window sills.

You'd better not use that hanging ladder unless there is an emergency. Dumbledore crossed his hands in front of him and said to them: Someone once fell from the top and fell to the bottom of the mountain and became a meat pie. Because he died, why he died has always been a mystery.

Tolkien smiled, but Zhao Mai couldn't catch the point of the smile and could only raise the corners of his mouth slightly in embarrassment. Do we still have classmates? When will class start tomorrow?

After breakfast tomorrow, I will go to the Charms classroom. I have classes in the morning every day and study by myself in the afternoon. Dumbledore said, Actually, there are no formal lectures yet, so I do the same thing every day, demonstrate magic. The basics, explaining how to use a wand and enhance magic power. It’s not difficult, I’m sure you can keep up.”

Can I go to the library?

When you become a formal student, the library will be open. If you have any books you want to read now, you can tell me and I will get them for you. Dumbledore smiled slightly, spread his hands and said, What else is there? Any questions?

Zhao Mai glanced at Tolkien and felt that he still had to ask: This matter between Grindelwald and us...

Dumbledore quickly interrupted Zhao Mai, pointed around with his finger, and then said: You came later than other students because the Search for Wizards spell is still under improvement. The Ministry of Magic works efficiently because of the change of ministers. A little low. But I believe that you can catch up with the little time you lost. Now, please have a good rest.

After saying that, he bowed slightly to say goodbye, quickly turned around and left.

Okay, this is the magic school, how do you feel? Zhao Mai said to Tolkien.

This place is so perfect! Tolkien exclaimed: It is full of magical power, with paintings that can walk and talk, stairs that move by themselves, statues that bow and salute, and ghosts that fly around. You Can you believe that such a magical world is hidden in our world, and no one usually knows about it!

It would be nice if wizards weren't so proud and domineering. Zhao Mai rubbed his chin and said to Tolkien: I think, regardless of ability, the most important thing in dealing with others is an equal mentality.

So I say you are a very rare gentleman. Tolkien said with a smile: But I won't be fooled by you. You are already good at magic, so you won't be in a hurry, but I have no foundation at all. Take the time to study, so I’ll see you at dinner. By the way, I’ll be downstairs from you. If you want to do something, please control the volume.”

Duojian was inspecting the furnishings of the room and had no reaction at all when he heard this.

After Tolkien left, Zhao Mai took the stored grain and flowers to the balcony. His window faced the Forbidden Forest, and he could vaguely see creatures running around in the woods. Have you felt it? There is abundant natural force here, but it is not very obedient. Aliang, can you teleport here?

Woof woof! expressed his denial twice, and Li Liang felt very hurt now.

This must be the castle's defense system to prevent enemies from teleporting and infiltrating. I was looking for runes or magic circles along the way, but I couldn't see anything. Xiaohua, how are you?

I didn't find it either. But there seemed to be some voice calling me in the Forbidden Forest, which made me want to go and have a look. The little flower floated in the air, staring at the lush forest with its yellow-amber eyes. The natural force there is so strange. It's like being shackled. You can only walk in an orderly manner. It's not natural at all!

I feel the same as you. Zhao Mai nodded: I also want to go to the Forbidden Forest to see it, but I'm afraid that's not possible now. At least we have to start learning spells first and gain some understanding of the Forbidden Forest. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we be successful. Be victorious.

You think wizards are enemies?

I can't tell. Zhao Mai said: They are very magical, but I can't like them. I know that no matter what ethnic group, there will be good and bad, and the proportion may be different, but this itself is diversity. My attitude of not liking them is a bit preconceived, and can even be said to be biased, but I just can’t control myself from thinking this way.”

Could it be the remaining will of the world in Atas, or the negative emotions left by the female ghost ghost? A worried look appeared in Xiaohua's eyes: Zhao Mai, you need to rest, take a complete rest. We still have Most of the time, you must not be anxious and let everything take its course. This is the path of a druid. Becoming an archdruid does not focus on strength as much as becoming an archmage. It is about a mentality that is consistent with nature and a harmony between man and the environment. Unite.

Well, you're right, I've had too many battles before. Although taking a vacation with my family helped me adjust a lot, once I returned to a time-travel-like environment, I started to get nervous again. Zhao Mai closed his eyes. , take deep breaths slowly, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... Under Xiaohua's guidance, he simply sat down cross-legged, tried his best to empty his mind, connect his senses with the surrounding environment, and let the natural force Able to move in and out of his body smoothly, filtering out all the unnatural and messy energy in his body.

A faint green light curtain enveloped him, quickly attracting all kinds of small creatures in the room. Whether it was web-weaving spiders, ants, mites or a cattail, they all gathered from their hiding places and burrowed into the green light curtain.

The reserve grain gritted its teeth and kept humming. It wasn't until Zhao Mai stretched out his hand to hold it on his knees that he calmed down. He consciously radiates the natural force in his body to affect the surrounding environment, making it more dynamic. Zhao Mai instinctively felt suppressed and restricted at Hogwarts. This feeling did not come from school rules, but from the atmosphere.

In an urban environment, Zhao Mai would feel this way. Because he grew up in an urban environment, his adaptability is relatively better than other druids. But now that he has returned to 1918, left his hometown again, and is still in a strange wizarding world, this uncomfortable feeling appears again.

Fortunately, he is no longer a little druid and has the ability to slowly change the surrounding environment, starting with the room he lives in.
