Sword and Magic and Taxi

The Christmas holidays and New Year's Day holidays are connected together. For British people, this is a very leisurely and comfortable time. Tolkien calmed down and sat at the desk in his bedroom, sorting out his writing ideas. His eyes looked at the snowy scene outside the window, the fragrance of hot tea and pipes lingered, and the quill trembled slightly in his breath.

In the small yard downstairs, tall Ado is building a snowman. Tolkien didn't know why Hodor particularly liked the cold winter and the beautiful scenery of heavy snow. He didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. Wearing only a thin mage robe, he lay on the snow and let the snowflakes fall and accumulate. Edith was worried at first that Ado would catch a cold. If such a big man sneezed, would it be earth-shattering? It turned out that A Duo's nose was just a little red. After rubbing it, he happily said A Duo, but nothing else happened.

The snowy scene reminded Hodor of Winterfell, a scene from his familiar homeland. Compared to the heavy snow in Winterfell, the snow in Oxford is just a toy to show comfort. He planned to build snowmen for all the familiar people, including Bran, Jojian, Meira, Xia Tian, ​​Zhao Mai, Xiao Hua, Liang Liang, and Duo Jian. He found that there was not enough snow, so he secretly took out his wand, covered it with his chest, and moved the snow from the neighbor's house next door. Now that he has enough materials, he can continue playing happily.

I didn't expect that you are also a wizard. You are good at sensing and controlling magic! A voice suddenly sounded from behind him, startling him. Since he has not passed the ordinary wizard level examination, he is not allowed to perform magic in the Muggle world. Zhao Mai denounced this rule as bullshit and told Addo that he did not have to abide by it. However, the simple Addo believed that it was important to avoid getting into trouble. He looked back and saw a handsome man with blond hair standing at the door of Tolkien's house. He was dressed like an ordinary person, but there were hidden symbols of magic badges on his cuffs and collar, which showed that he was also a wizard.

I'm here to visit Tolkien. I'm his old friend. Is he at home? The man was polite and his tone was very pleasant. Ado pointed upstairs, snapped his fingers, and rang the doorbell for the visitor.

Who is it? Oh, Gellert, what a rare visitor! Please come in, please come in. Tolkien warmly invited Grindelwald into the house, waved his wand, and cleared out the sofa in the living room. Edith, can you prepare some tea for us?

Grindelwald watched Tolkien use the wand with complicated eyes. In his eyes, Tolkien's spells were quite satisfactory, and there was nothing surprising about his use of magic, which made him slightly disappointed. But he also knew very well that Tolkien's ability lay not in magic, but in other aspects.

Ado finished everyone's snow statues and was shaking off the snow outside the house to prepare to enter the house. However, his skills were mediocre, and no one except him could tell who those people were, but the two dogs were lifelike. After he came in, he changed his shoes, went straight to the kitchen to help Edith carry the plate, and ate two small cookies by the way.

Go and warm yourself up by the fire. You've been playing for too long and your body is almost frozen.

Ado smiled, listened obediently to the mistress of the house, sat on the floor by the coal stove, stretched out his hand and placed it next to the chimney - he alone absorbed almost half of the heat.

How have you been lately? Tolkien said enthusiastically: It was snowing heavily. I thought no guests would come. I didn't expect to meet you suddenly. It really shocked me.

I was also shocked. Grindelwald said with a smile: I met Mike in France. I didn't expect that his magic has improved so much! After seeing him, I thought of you. Since the last time at Blackberry Manor in Luxembourg, After we met, we didn't meet again. I happened to come to the UK for some business, so I came to see how you are doing.

Thank you, I'm pretty good. Zhao Mai and I are both attending classes at Hogwarts, but compared to him, I'm far inferior. Tolkien said with a smile: He has done something sensational. , graduated before enrolling! But it’s a pity. It would have been better if there was no obstruction from the Ministry of Magic. By the way, he now has a funny nickname, called Eighth Grader. At first, every time he heard this title , the expression on Mike’s face is worth seeing!”

His nickname will become louder and louder, I'm sure of that. Grindelwald said pointedly. Tolkien, do you know what the relationship between Mike and that Barbara is? I watched it for a long time and didn't understand it.

Hearing this, Tolkien choked directly and coughed for a long time before he recovered. Actually, it's quite strange. I think it's the little girl who admires Mike and may also like her very much. But Mike has a girlfriend, she... Tolkien thought for a while and said: She is a demigod.

Demigod? Did Mike learn the spell from her?

No. That demigod doesn't know any magic, but he is very good at fighting. Tolkien wanted to laugh when he thought about the relationship between Diana and Mike, especially Mike with dark circles under his eyes and a pale face. It was not easy to see him like that. Mike's curse is his own hard work, and he worked hard at that time.

Yes, it is very powerful. Grindelwald nodded.

power? Tolkien suddenly felt something was wrong. Usually, because Mike felt that the ancient magic spells were imperfect and worried about unpredictable consequences, he rarely used magic spells. Tolkien believed that this was Mike's old habit of conspiracy theories and unfounded worries coming back, but considering that he could still solve all magical problems even without using magic spells, he was allowed to continue to be awkward. Of course, Tolkien also took the time to help him organize the ancient magic spells, hoping to restore the entire language as soon as possible.

Zhao Mai is not the kind of high-profile person, at least he will not show the power of the curse in front of Grindelwald. Did you two have a conflict? Tolkien asked, thinking that Zhao Mai had always been suspicious of Grindelwald.

Yes, we had a fight, and I lost. I lost to his strange curse. Don't worry, he's fine. He's still alive and kicking in France. Grindelwald said calmly: I thought about it afterwards. , the magic he used is still the magic spell of the wizard, but he uses another magic language. If anyone else in this world can sum up a new magic spell, it must be you. Tolkien, can you Want me to learn this magic spell?

Now that Grindelwald has used his reasoning ability to find him, there is little point in denying it. Tolkien thought for a while, shook his head and said: Mike thinks that language is not perfect, and no one can use it except him. I have actually tried it, and it has no effect. It is really incredible. I think you are really There’s no need to waste energy on it.”

In terms of linguistics, I have to call you teacher, but this is not the case in terms of magic. Grindelwald said confidently: I insist on seeing the information on that magic language. I am very insistent.
