Chapter 368: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 156
Professor Taila took Sien and stepped into the door on the left where green flames were burning.
Sien glanced curiously; this looked like a variant of the Floo Network.
So this is... an automatically following fireplace door?
It looked very much like... an Anywhere Door.
Sien could no longer see the Hogwarts castle; behind the door was a long corridor.
Above the corridor was a sky made of magic, with a sea of stars surging within it.
At the very front was an ancient, crack-filled board, which was slowly emerging names at this time; Sien saw his own name also being engraved on it.
There were twenty-four boards in total, with words emitting faint light engraved at the very top:
"Nine nights hanging on the wind-swaying tree,
wounded by a spear; I was offered as a sacrifice to Odin,
sacrificed to myself, on the tree unknown to anyone!
No bread to satisfy hunger, no drop of water to quench thirst.
I look down, picking up the Runes,
shouting as I pick, twenty-four stone slabs falling from the tree."
This is two very famous poems in 'The Sayings of the High One', which is Odin's self-narration of understanding the Runes.
At the very bottom of the stone slabs was:
"Waiting for the twenty-four masters of an era."
When Sien was stunned, he heard Headmaster Dumbledore saying kindly:
"Oh, many statues... reminds me that there is a good one on the third floor of Hogwarts castle..."
Sien looked at the many statues in the corridor, and looked at Headmaster Dumbledore silently again.
He seemed to understand who had single-handedly spawned the noisy Castle Spirit Cat Club.
"Please follow me."
At this time, a house-elf appeared before Sien; it appeared instantly, and Sien didn't notice it at all.
It was wearing clothes like a rag, but was holding a delicate board, standing respectfully before Sien.
At the same time, Sien discovered that many doors with green flames burning had opened, and wizards who weren't many in number walked out.
Every time a wizard appeared, it was bound to be accompanied by a house-elf appearing.
"Take your stone slab, you will witness the entire vast alchemy field."
Professor Taila said softly.
She was joyful and excited; those mediocre apprentices of alchemists, even if they participated in the conference, could only put forward some irrelevant views.
But she, would take her student Sien Green together—to declare that the alchemy world would be great again, to declare... the arrival of an era.
Some would be joyful, some would be panicked; some would curse, some would be greedy;
But regardless, all alchemists would admit,
This era had no contention for supremacy, only,
Sien Green.
