Chapter 54: The Secret Realm of Magic
"I really don't know what you're looking for, uh, can't you tell me about it at all?" Canaan asked, after a moment's thought. He really didn't know what the Deran organization was pursuing, immortality, great strength, or a way to resurrect the dead?
"I'm sorry, Canaan, it's really not possible, that spell is very strict, as long as we have an idea to speak, the spell will be activated immediately. Deland regretted. He had seen with his own eyes what would happen to those who betrayed the Order, and he didn't dare to try.
"But you're so smart you're going to think of a way. Teresa said as he looked at Canaan again, and then his gaze shifted to the rows of bookshelves in front of him.
Noticing Derea's eyes, Canaan suddenly remembered that the books on the fourth floor of the American Library had been copied and placed here. If you look closely, you may find out what they are trying to do in the book.
"I see, Uncle Teresa. He nodded at Derene.
"Very well, as for Dumbledore, tell him everything you know, that old fox, you can't hide it. Speaking of Dumbledore, DeLand frowned. For this kind of powerful and prestigious white wizard, he really can't do anything.
"Will he affect your organization's operations?"
"As Jorinster said, what we do is not harmful to the wizarding world. It's just that many of the members of our organization are aggressive, and they won't be soft on those who stand in front of them, and I don't like them either. If Dumbledore could kill their spirits, it would be great. DeLand explained with a smile.
Canaan smiled and shook his head after hearing this, this technique of killing people with a knife is really skillful.
"By the way, although Dumbledore was a white wizard, there has never been a pure good person in the wizarding world. It's better for you to keep an eye on him. He felt that Canaan could only be regarded as a precocious child, and that he could easily be deceived by a demonic figure like Dumbledore.
"Well, I see, I'll take notice. Canaan nodded, he also knew that the movie was different from reality, so it was better to be cautious.
"Okay, then I'll go first, if you feel bored at home, you can bring the old guy outside home, I believe the old guy is also very happy. Before leaving, Derain suggested. He hoped that Canaan would have more contact with Hoffman and then pass on the family's staff-making skills.
Watching Teran leave in a hurry, Canaan turned and walked to a bookshelf full of new books that Lucy had sorted out, presumably copies of Deland from the fourth floor of the library.
With a flick of his wand, all the books on the shelves flew up, quickly becoming smaller, and then burrowed into Canaan's propped storage bag.
"Let's take it back to the lab and take a closer look, the environment here is too oppressive. Canaan muttered, then went back to the first-floor hall.
"Little one, are you leaving? Don't stay any longer?" Hofman said suddenly in the portrait as he saw the back of Canaan leaving, his expression sad.
Canaan turned his head to look at the lonely portrait and said gently, "Then Grandpa Hoffman, would you mind changing your nest?", he suddenly felt that it was not good to leave the elderly in such a remote environment.
"Of course, I'd love to, my ass is getting grassy. Hoffman said in an exaggerated tone, grinning widely, and looked happy.
"Okay, then I can only wronged you first. He used a shrinking charm on the portrait and put it in a storage bag.
"Oh, it's so dark in here..."
......
Back in the lab, Canaan took out the portrait and hung it in the middle of the hall. Intrigued by this new environment, Hoffman tilts his head and looks around in the portrait, but unfortunately he can only see one side of it.
However, after getting acquainted with the new environment, he became curious about Scatter.
"Hey, that man, what's your name, are you a servant of their house?"
"Old man, I don't want to answer your boring questions. Skarda looked unconcerned, he didn't know where his master had brought a talking portrait, and he thought the old fellow was particularly verbose.
"You guy's rude. Hoffman glared and his beard turned up.
"I also don't want to talk to a portrait that moves and is rude. Skarda shook off in disdain, and then went into the greenhouse with a pot of flowers.
Canaan watched this scene from the side and smiled slightly, he estimated that the future days of the laboratory would not be boring.
Immediately afterward, Canaan found an open spot in the hall and took out all the books in the storage bag. Carefully counted, there were 54 books in total, most of which recorded the content related to spells, and a few recorded others.
Canaan categorized the books simply, and he was going to go through the table of contents of each book to see what it was about, and then look for it.
With the help of the Sage's Hat, Canaan was able to read books quickly. In the empty laboratory hall, only the sound of Canaan turning books from time to time, and Hoffman, who hung on the wall, was also silent and did not disturb Canaan.
"It's a lot of fun. "Canaan found it interesting to find a copy of the Magical Spells Explained, which recorded many spells that Canaan had never heard of, and these spells were quite useful.
There's an interesting spell called "Mark Sensing": the caster has to create a special potion and use it to engrave symbols on the human body, and with the help of the spell, people with this symbol can sense each other and summon each other.
Canaan found this magic very practical and solved the problem of the wizarding world not being able to communicate in time. And he remembered that Voldemort and his Death Eaters in the movie were also connected by a similar spell, and the symbol seemed to be a snake.
Memorizing the recipe and spell of the potion, Canaan quickly flipped back.
......
"In ancient times, the wizarding system was extremely prosperous, and legend has it that there were still dragons and elves on the continent at that time, and of course the environment at that time was very different from now. Later, the magical civilization declined, and human wizards gradually took over, and we developed wands, magic spells..."
"However, there are so few wizards with magical talents that we can't reproduce the glory of the magical civilization of that time..."
Canaan finds this passage in a book called "Travels on Magic", which appears to have been written by a wizard around the fifteenth century, and who advocated that wizards should take over the world, reproduce a large number of children, and restore the glory of magic.
There are many stories of antiquity recorded in this book, but Canaan feels that some of the content is very unreal, as if many of them are the author's imagination and speculation. However, Canaan vaguely felt that what Teresa's group was looking for was related to antiquity.
"The Secret Realm of Magic, also known as the Secret Realm of the Ancients. These realms are attached to the real world, and most of them are left over from ancient times, but special keys are often required to access them. ”
This is recorded in a book "Ancient Decryption", and seeing this, Canaan vaguely felt that he was about to find the truth.
