Chapter 162: The Story of The Muggle Princess and the Seven Little Goblins

"Basic Spells Level 4", "Anthology of Ancient Magic Texts", "Curses and Anti-Curses", .....

Ivan walked past the side of the bookshelf and looked around at the books on it.

The entire Blotted Bookstore doesn't look big, much smaller than the Hogwarts collection.

And there is no forbidden library here, or it is not open to the general public, resulting in a lack of many advanced magic books on the shelves.

Ivan didn't care about this, anyway, it was enough for him to watch for a long time.

Casually taking down a copy of the "Anthology of Ancient Magical Texts" from the shelf, Ivan found a remote corner, sat down and flipped through it alone.

The lady of the shopkeeper at the counter occasionally paid attention to Ivan's movements, and it was a bit surprising to see him sitting in the corner for hours, and she rarely saw a little wizard with such patience.

Ivan didn't get up to leave until the bookstore was about to close, and at the same time met the manager of the bookstore, the husband of the intellectual lady.

It's just that the wizard manager doesn't look like the manager of a bookstore, and he doesn't dress elegantly at all, and when he comes in, Ivan almost mistakes this guy for a bookstore handyman.

For several days, Ivan spent days at the Blotted bookstore, reading through three to five books a day to improve his knowledge.

At the same time, he is also improving his understanding of the magical world.

This speed is obviously difficult to satisfy Ivan, those basic magic books are fine, but most of the slightly more advanced ones are obscure, and it is difficult to push the reading progress to 100% even if you read it repeatedly.

After consuming an excessive amount of GPA, Ivan finally remembered the diary of Tom the Horcrux, a learning accelerator that he had left at home for an unknown number of days.

On the third day, Ivan brought it over and used it as a study notebook, and wrote it down and asked if he didn't know how to do it.

After a whole summer of getting along, Ivan also had a rough estimate of Tom Riddle's basic spell theory, which was about level five.

The level of black magic is higher, and the others are slightly lower, and it is still no problem to teach him, a young wizard whose basic magic spell theory is still at the fourth level.

With the further improvement of Ivan's knowledge system, the relationship between the two sides gradually moved from teaching to mutual discussion.

[Ding, after a period of study, your basic spell principle proficiency has improved, the current level 4 (916/1600)]

[Ding, after a period of practice, your Occlumency level will be increased to level 4, and 20 student points will be rewarded.] 】

Two system prompts sounded in his head, and Ivan closed the "Detailed Explanation of Basic Spells" in his hand, put it aside, and looked at the Horcrux diary with more and more satisfaction.

With the help of Tom Riddle, his learning efficiency has increased several times!

You must know that after the skill level of the spell reaches level four, it becomes more and more difficult to progress, and the progress bar of proficiency is simply desperate!

If you just rely on reading and studying on your own, you don't want to make any big progress in a year or two.

What's more, the "kind" Tom will also help him brush up on the level of Occlumency by the way in the process of learning, which is quite rare!

If it weren't for Ivan's deep knowledge of the dangers of the Horcrux diary, he wouldn't have wanted to destroy it.

Of course, Tom's "selfless" dedication is not unrequited, at least he also got a lot of information from Ivan.

It's just that after getting this information, Tom couldn't believe it at all, and even felt that he had heard it wrong.

[You said that the savior of the wizarding world who killed the Dark Lord twelve years ago was a newborn baby? How is this possible? 】

The black ink marks covered most of the paper in a short time, and the handwriting was sloppy, and it was obvious that Tom could not contain the shock in his heart.

He couldn't help but be surprised, anyone who heard that he had been painstakingly cultivating in the future and had become a great being in the wizarding world, and was actually killed by a newborn baby, would feel ridiculous.

If Ivan had said that the Dark Lord had been defeated by Dumbledore or some powerful wizard, he would have been more receptive.

Ivan became more and more tolerant of Tom's question, anyway, he planned to destroy the diary before going to school, so it didn't matter whether he answered or not...

After a while, Ivan was talking nonsense in his diary.

[That's right!] I heard that it was because the Dark Lord killed the Savior's parents, and the Savior was angry and killed the Dark Lord... Every wizard in the entire British wizarding world knows about it! 】

Tom Riddle was silent.

He really couldn't imagine how a baby who was only a few days old could destroy the Dark Lord in anger, even in the collection of fairy tales he had read in a Muggle orphanage!

But under the search of the dementors, Tom clearly understood that the little wizard in front of him really thought so in his heart, and did not deceive himself.

Because of this, Tom became more and more confused, he felt that something was wrong with the world?

Ivan didn't know that Tom almost began to doubt the world because of his words.

However, Ivan felt that he had not deceived Tom, after all, among the many rumors about Harry circulating in the wizarding world, there was indeed a similar statement.

Isn't it normal for him, a little wizard of eleven or twelve, to listen to rumors?

Because of this, Ivan continued to disguise his identity as a little wizard and wrote in his diary.

[You also think that the savior Harry is very powerful, right?] He had just been born and killed the mighty Dark Lord so easily...]

[Ah.. Yes, it's amazing!! Tom was silent for a moment, then replied with great grievance.

Hit by Ivan's words, Tom didn't ask about the wizarding world for a long time after this conversation.

This disappointed Ivan somewhat.

Flirting with Tom Riddle has become his pastime to relieve the boredom of reading, often for physical and mental pleasure.

Ivan wondered if Voldemort would feel a little relieved to learn that the Horcruxes he had worked so hard to get had been developed by him with so many functions...

Seeing the sun set, considering that Ivan was about to start school in two days, he brought the unfinished books to the front desk with him, and he didn't plan to come here again in the future.

"Madam, how much does this Advanced Transfiguration cost?"

"Three Galleons, Eleven Sico." The shopkeeper's wife glanced at her and spoke, then hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"This book is not what you should be reading right now, kid, it's good to love knowledge, but sometimes we have to know how to take it step by step!"

"Yes, a child of your age should read a storybook, such as this story of "The Muggle Princess and the Seven Little Goblins", which was just bought today, and only sold nine sicos, I heard that Muggle children love to watch this." The manager also came over at this time to join in the fun, holding some books in his hand.

He thinks that Ivan pretends to be an adult and reads some esoteric books, rather than reading a few fairy tale books, like this one in his hand, although the story of the Muggle princess abandoning the seven goblins who take care of her and finally choosing to live with the giants is a sigh...
