Chapter 699: Christmas Trip
"Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" The first thing Ryan did when he woke up on Christmas morning was to turn his head to greet Hermione next to him, then grabbed his wand at the bedside and waved it at the curtains. The curtains quickly opened to the sides, and a warm, unblinding ray of sunlight illuminated the bedroom.
"So do you, Merry Christmas!" Hermione woke up at this time, she smiled and turned her head to kiss Ryan's cheek, "Hurry up, we need to pack up and go to the contact point to see what our friends are giving us Christmas presents." ”
After quickly getting up and washing, Ryan and the others put on a set of thick clothes and teleported to the contact point more than ten kilometers away. On a platform in the middle of a cave built at the same time as the manor, Ryan and the others saw a large pile of gifts piled up in a somewhat messy manner.
"It feels like this gift is much more than in previous years. Hermione took a brief visual look at the size of the pile and commented, "Looks like we've met so many new people this year than we've had in the past. ”
The process of opening a gift is very pleasant, because it allows people to feel the camaraderie of everyone included in the gift. Most of the gifts came from new friends after the war, such as the guerrillas who fought with them, the hostages they rescued from the shadowy dungeons, and even the wizards who had saved a life from the battlefield or regained their health because of Ryan's previous supplies.
"The gift from Mr. Chancellor this time is so precious. Ryan pulled out an old parchment notebook from Professor Dumbledore's gift bag, and when he opened it, he immediately realized that the contents of this notebook were likely to be unusual.
Because on the title page of the notebook, Ryan saw Nicolamay name, and after turning a few pages back, Ryan could see from the crooked font on it that Nicolamay's body had reached a very weak level when the contents of this book were written. After further examination, Ryan was surprised to find that the book would not be more than ten years old.
"What are you looking at?" Hermione asked, looking at Ryan standing blankly with a notebook that seemed to be available anywhere. It's a pity that Ryan is now half a head taller than her, so she can't look directly over Ryan's shoulder to see what he has in his hand like she did in the lower grades, she can only go around to his side to see what he holds. "Professor Dumbledore's gift? But I don't see anything strange about this book. ”
"It's just a very ordinary notebook. Ryan turned the book back to the title page. "This is Nicolame's alchemy notebook, and judging by the year of this notebook and some of the contents of the account I have just read, it is likely that this is the last notebook of the alchemist. ”
"It's just so precious. Hermione said in disbelief. "Why did Headmaster Dumbledore give you this thing? I dare say that the wizards who want this notebook in Europe right now might be able to fill the Gryffindor common room. ”
"You're talking about someone who can read this note, and if you add it to anyone who can't read it, you might be able to line up and go around Hogwarts Castle. Ryan shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, I know why Professor Dumbledore gave me this. I guess he thinks I'm more reliable, and thinks that this thing will improve my level and be more beneficial to the current war with the Mysteries. ”
Dumbledore's thoughts are easy to understand, wizards of Ryan's level will have their own path in the pursuit of power. It is unlikely that this will change. Therefore, Dumbledore was able to give this thing to Ryan with confidence, hoping that Ryan would be able to exert a more powerful effect in the future war.
"It seems that even though you and he disagree, Headmaster Dumbledore still thinks that you and he are still firmly on the same side. Hermione figured it out, too. "Yes, your conflict is only the unimportant part. Professor Dumbledore wouldn't be too old-fashioned to be a leader for that long, and should be able to tolerate your differences if the general direction is right. ”
"You're right, at least the Headmaster Dumbledore we know is a good guy in every sense of the word. Ryan nodded. "He is willing to unite all forces that are willing to unite on the premise of the same direction. ”
Of course, in private, Ryan thinks that this is because Dumbledore realized that even if he played with the Elder Wand with his full strength, he could only guarantee a tie with Voldemort, so in order to kill Voldemort, he had to unite himself.
After counting the gifts, Ryan and the others returned to the manor with them. After putting all the presents away, Ryan invited Hermione. "Let's go to another world now, the battle a while ago was really tiring. ”
"When you say that, I feel uncomfortable everywhere on my body, and I want to relax. Previously, I could only sleep four hours a day for a month. If it weren't for the fact that our bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold it up a long time ago. Hermione nodded, "Hey, by the way, can we find a world we haven't been to this time?"
"Absolutely. Ryan smiled and nodded, then dragged Hermione with him to the underground lab. Because there are other people living in the manor now, they chose the underground base under the manor to avoid the eyes of the guests, so as not to let others know this secret.
"If you are distracted, then the world level should not be too high, because if it is too high, you will need to be busy fighting. However, the world level should not be too low, otherwise it would not be very interesting. Ryan said to Hermione after arriving at the underground base. "So I think the sixth-level world is more suitable, what do you think?"
"Is that the last time I met that group of vampires a level of world?" Hermione thought for a moment and nodded, "I think that kind of world is really good, but I don't know if this time it will be a world that we are familiar with." ”
"It's up to you. Ryan opened the door to the groceries and pulled Hermione inside, Rose Crystal was sitting on top of a cabinet in the grocery store at this time, holding a smartphone from the world of "Twilight" in both hands, looking at the cat and mouse, and giggling from time to time. After hearing Ryan and Hermione's footsteps walking into the grocery store, she turned her head and asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"
"We're going to find a new world to relax, would you like to come along?" Ryan invited the doll.
"Of course, of course I do. Rose Crystal put away the smartphone in her hand as quickly as she could, and then quickly tapped her little head. "It's amazing to finally be able to see a new world. ”
After saying that, Rose Crystal took out a small backpack modified from the corner of the grocery store and carried it on her back. Then he flew directly to Ryan's left, raised his arm and grabbed his free hand.
"Then we set off. "After injecting 32 offset points, the door of the grocery store turned into a vortex of blue-white light. After making sure everything was ready, Ryan led a man through the spatial door with one hand.
"Hah, it's not in the forest this time. After looking around, Rose Crystal smiled, "At least this pit looks like it was dug by intelligent beings." ”
"That's right, based on the size of the machine and the design habits, it's very likely that it belongs to a human. Glancing around, Ryan definitely deduced that as someone who had received a mechanical design inheritance, he could roughly deduce the user of many machines just by looking at them.
"Hey, it's kind of like a machine from the late 19th century. Hermione looked curiously at the riveted steam engine beneath their foothold and said, "I've visited Manchester's old factory with my parents before, and the machines there look a lot like this. ”
"Nineteenth century," reminded Hermione, Ryan also realized that everything here did look like a mine during the First Industrial Revolution. But Ryan didn't feel like he was just coming to an era of ordinary steam industry development. After all, this is a sixth-level world, which means that this world hides a power beyond the technology of this era.
But fortunately, it's only a sixth-level world, so it shouldn't be the most terrifying worlds in this background, such as the total gram of fat sugar or the high concentration of Amon or something. Ryan felt that he could take it one step at a time and see how it went.
