Chapter 568: I Am Looking for You
Hope Cottage.
A vigorous fire was burning in the fireplace.
Mr. Owl would wear a hat in winter and sometimes even put gloves on his claws.
When Sien saw him, he was holding a small jacket he had found from some portrait, trying to put it on himself.
"Little wizard!"
He spoke, and the jacket fell off.
When opening the door, Sien was still being pecked and beaten by him. And except for Sien, everyone else would pretend to be afraid, so Mr. Owl would stop making noise for a few days.
Beside the warm fire in the cottage was Sien's self-aware wooden bookcase.
At this moment, it was rapidly reorganizing, spitting out a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Sien stared at the bookcase for a while; he always felt that the bookcase's self-awareness was growing a bit too fast.
Opening "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the preface on the first page was written by Headmaster Dumbledore.
【Newt's outstanding work was designated as a textbook for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as soon as it was published.
And it certainly contributed greatly to our students' continuous achievement of good grades in the Care of Magical Creatures exam—however, it is not a book limited to classroom reading.
There is not a wizarding family that does not have a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and they will flip through this book generation after generation, until it is tattered, in order to find the best way to get rid of Horklumps on the lawn, interpret the meaning of the Augurey's cry, or cure their pet Puffskein's bad habit of drinking water in the toilet.
——Albus Dumbledore】
This reminded Sien of something, and he took out a notebook filled with obscure content.
The International Association of Alchemists had always hoped he could write a book for fairy tale biscuits, and Master Nicolas Flamel was willing to write the preface himself.
Yes, this master had not died yet.
Sien didn't know if he had become a butterfly's wings, but since this master still wanted to live, no one could make him die.
Professor Tela's understanding was even simpler:
"To let a master who has pursued alchemy skills for a lifetime die when his curiosity is full, little Green, perhaps you can see the master's ghost."
And so this book had been writing itself.
Recording the difficulty of magical rituals was not high, but explaining the principles within them was extremely difficult.
At least Sien couldn't explain his own fleeting inspirations, which instead became his way of further understanding alchemical rituals.
And regarding alchemy, after reaching the expert level, the requirements for the master-level alchemy title were higher.
【Advanced: Three types of master-level high-rank alchemical creations can unlock the master-level title in the field of alchemy】
Sien's fairy tale biscuit series could only count as one type, so one could imagine the difficulty.
And even for the Billywig in the fairy tale biscuits, which had the highest proficiency, Sien had only reached 【Expert】.
This difficulty made Sien think of spells:
【Advanced: Twelve expert-level spells or five master-level spells can unlock the expert-level title in the field of spells】
Sometimes, Sien would feel, how much proficiency is considered a lot?
Sien put down the draft. Even if this manuscript were published, Master Tela believed that the number of people who could understand it could be counted on one hand.
As for wanting to replicate it, Professor Tela sneered even more:
"Even in another hundred years, no one will be able to do it.
The 'Book of Abraham the Jew' has existed for so long, yet only Master Nicolas Flamel has made the Sorcerer's Stone."
The requirements for top-tier alchemy in terms of talent are almost as high as divination.
……
Snow fell rustling outside the window, and the people in Hope Cottage spent another day with a rich learning atmosphere.
Justin seemed to have recovered a lot; he was researching spell combination techniques, and desserts were baking in the oven;
Hermione had recently become obsessed with silent spells, and Professor Flitwick had guided her many times;
Ron was already able to steadily transform some small things, and occasionally one could see mice and beetles running across his desk;
Harry was always willing to discuss Defense Against the Dark Arts techniques with Neville, and both were very good at this.
And Sien was still carefully reading "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
The delicate, thick pages were spread out, and the handwriting on them was clearly visible:
【In 1832, Cincinnati wizard Abel Treetops claimed to have obtained a patent for taming a Wampus cat to guard a wizard's residence.
Later, the Magical Congress of the United States of America raided Treetops' home and found he was casting an Engorgement Charm on a Kneazle, only then revealing he was a fraud】
There seem to be quite a few frauds in the wizarding world……
Sien thought silently and flipped to the next few pages:
【Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has always had rumors of Wampus cats, probably because Wampus cat is the name of one of the houses.
In fact, Wampus cats do indeed exist there】
"Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry……"
Sien repeated this name silently.
Besides the fact that this magic school has Wampus cats, wanting to find a Wampus cat in the vast Beimeizhou seems too difficult.
And if Sien hadn't missed it, Professor Tela was an honorary professor at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He didn't know why, but the professor had taught at many schools.
……
"Oh, this question……"
Professor Tela leaned down and answered with a smile,
"I am looking for you, my disciple."
Sien was stunned for a moment.
"It seems you are very interested in the Wampus cat, so this Christmas, perhaps we can have a nice trip.
Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is recognized by people as one of the most democratic and inclusive great magic schools.
Let me think, they even have the same sorting ceremony as Hogwarts."
Professor Tela briefly introduced the characteristics of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and then a paper airplane set off shakily.
The content inside was also very simple:
【Eugenia Herrera, your prayers seem to have worked. During the Christmas break, I will bring my disciple to visit】
If Sien still remembered the elderly witch with tan skin and a tall figure at the Alchemy Conference, then when reading the relevant materials about Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he would discover.
This elderly witch was a mixed-race wizard from Beimeizhou and was also the current Headmistress of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Her successor was Agilbert Fontaine.
Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had produced many famous wizards. For example, Tina Goldstein, an excellent Auror, and also a famous senior of Sien, Newt's wife.
In the corridor.
Thick snowflakes danced in the sky, the windows were still blocked, and the light outside the castle was much dimmer.
Sien's plan map floated out automatically, adding a landmark far away from Hogwarts Castle:
【Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry】, and there was a line of small text in the upper left corner of the landmark: 【Christmas】. ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
