Chapter 263: The Wall of Dragon Language
Today is not a good day, it has been raining heavily since the middle of the night last year, and it is still pounding intensively on the windows of the residence.
Thundered!
Another burst of thunder burst abruptly, making the whole glass window rattle, as if the whole wooden house were trembling, and a lightning bolt streaked across the sky in the distance outside the window, illuminating the earth.
"I'm dreaming again......"
The man yawned, and after washing up, he looked at himself in the mirror who was a little depressed, and considered whether it would be better to take a leave of absence and go to the wizard hospital to have a look.
During this time, he has been repeating a strange dream, which seems to be vaguely the outline and shadow of some fire dragons, which seems to be extremely chaotic and ambiguous, and they can even "speak" in the dream!
It is not a roar with unknown meaning in the past, a simple roar that transmits some simple emotional information, but the development of "roar" into a special language, and it has unimaginable magic.
Overcast skies, furious roars, and endless fire.
His dreams were probably filled with such things, and the creatures let out deafening roars, even filled with cold snaps, fire, and other deadly magic, and their language was naturally accompanied by them.
Of course, Noah himself was very aware of how ridiculous this kind of thing was, so he never told his companions about it, so as not to attract unnecessary ridicule...... Those guys can definitely repeat a joke that is not funny for half a year.
- It's just that he doesn't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that every time he wakes up from a dream, his mental structure will change to a certain extent......
Become less human-like, become dragon-like...... Tendencies like this.
He even woke up this morning and looked in the mirror at the lizard-like reptilian personality in his body—
At that moment, he even thought that he had seen a large lizard standing up in the mirror, staring at him with red eyes, spitting out a letter and staring at him, almost scaring him to death!
Of course, Noah thought that should be a delusion as well...... No, not as it should, but it must be an illusion! After all, no matter how you look at it, this kind of thing can't exist, even if it's an unscientific group like wizards, it's right to insist on reason.
He thought so, hung up the wet towel, and then stared at himself in the mirror, at the man in the mirror—
Noah, a man who is exactly thirty years old, or a male wizard, graduated from the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It was a magical school in Massachusetts, USA, founded in the 17th century at the top of Greylock Mountain.
The school is subjected to a variety of powerful spells that make it invisible to those who do not know it, and sometimes manifests itself in the midst of clouds. The school has students throughout North America, and like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the UK, students are divided into four different houses.
And the most talked about is the founder of the Ilvermorny School, which Isolt Sayre and her No-Maj lover James Stewart founded together, which is the only known No-Maj school of magic and wizardry.
Is it said that Aesop's aunt was Gormlaith? Gaunt is also the first person to come from, as she is a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin.
However, no matter how big it is, after crossing the ocean and coming to the Americas from the United Kingdom, its popularity has been greatly weakened...... So Noah himself never paid attention to such things, and didn't even have time to think about the meaning of Salazar Slytherin's existence.
Probably given that one of the founders was the No-Maj, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is widely regarded as one of the most democratic and unteachable schools of magic.
The so-called No-Maj actually refers to people in the non-magical world, who are born into non-magical families, whose parents do not know magic, and who cannot use magic themselves. This group is called Muggles in different places, in England as Muggles, in the United States as No-Maj, and in France as Non-Wizards......
Each wizarding authority will be responsible for hiding, caring for, and controlling all magical animals, people, and ghosts that inhabit their jurisdiction. If such an animal had caused harm to Muggle society, or had been brought to their attention, the country's magical governing body would have been disciplined by the International Confederation of Wizards.
This provision is derived from section 73 of the International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act.
Its existence meant that the wizarding world was not completely isolated from the non-wizarding world, and wizards and Muggles often had to deal with each other.
They are the same as Squibs in terms of their inability to use magic, but Squib's parents have at least one of their hands who can use magic, so they are still different from Muggles.
Most Muggles were ignorant of the existence of magic, and were unaware that wizards with magical abilities formed an extremely independent society. Only a handful of Muggles are aware of the existence of the wizarding world, and they are often parents or close relatives of wizards.
Noah was actually born into an ordinary family, and when he was a child, he even thought about becoming a scientist or something, but after embarking on the path of a wizard, he became a dragon scholar.
But the past of the No-Maj family, as well as his childhood wishes, still had a subtle impact on him, so he occasionally complained that "wizards are an unscientific group", insisted on allowing himself to "look at problems with a rational eye" and so on.
So now, this man, who has been deeply influenced by the concept of the No-Maji world, and still can't help but think about rational science after becoming a wizard, is still insisting on his set of ideas as a matter of course.
If he were a pure wizard, he might have taken what happened to him seriously.
After all, the sorcerer is a strange creature who, after drinking tea, thinks that the shape of the remaining tea leaves in the teacup is a kind of revelation of fate for the future, and some people have even written many books on this subject.
Not to mention the repetitive dreams, which in their eyes must be part of a prophecy or a revelation of fate......
It can only be said that Noah had a chance to redeem all this.
……
……
The Dragon Sanctuary is not a zoo, it is like a nature reserve in ordinary people's society.
-- refers to the land, land waters, or sea areas where representative natural ecosystems, rare and endangered species of wild animals and plants are concentrated, and natural relics of special significance, where the objects of protection are located, and a certain area is set aside for special protection and management in accordance with law.
The only difference is that this area is zoned out to be a dragon habitat.
"Noah, you'd better take a look, something seems to be wrong......
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? ”
"Yes, and it's a big problem...... Do you remember the Portuguese long-snouted dragon that we knocked down and captured from Pennsylvania a week ago and transported back here? ”
The rain poured down without stopping.
In a clearing in the middle of a dense forest was a rudimentary camp, and at the very center of the camp were scattered iron chains, the ends of which were fastened to the surrounding wooden stakes.
The stakes were driven deep into the ground, as if they were used to tie up some behemoth, but at this time they were empty, and there was nothing.
In front of a tent in the camp, two men were discussing and talking in the heavy rain, oblivious to the dense rain that was falling.
"Of course I remember, please, you said it only happened a week ago, and I wouldn't say that my memory is so bad." Noah scoffed, believing that the problem of his companion was rather substandard.
"Well, I mean, the dragon seems to have run away again...... "The other wizard sighed and said, "And this time it's weird, we don't even know where it's gone." ”
"What?" Noah suddenly frowned slightly, and then he glanced around, as if he understood something, "So you called me because ...... Okay, I see, can't you track it? ”
"Yes, it was guarded here before, because it is not confirmed to divide it into that area for the time being, but there was a sudden rainstorm in the middle of the night last night, and it has been until now...... When I arrived, the chains were broken. ”
The wizard said.
"Because it was raining so hard at the time, I didn't think the dragon would be able to run far, so I was going to see the situation today. But today, I can't find out where it went, and I wonder if it got the good thing we put on it, but it shouldn't be, so it's more likely that something went wrong with the thing itself......"
Fire dragons are not simply stocked in protected areas, they are amazingly mobile and flexible, and even if a large area is divided into their habitat, there is no guarantee that they will stay there honestly.
Although the wizards are very distressed and troubled, I hope that they will not cause any more trouble for themselves, and it is best to honestly move within a certain range, hunting, resting, and reproducing, so that it is good.
But at the end of the day, even people want to go downstairs and hang out in the small park outside after a full meal, let alone a fire dragon? So they often fly out of their habitat and start a series of troubles.
Therefore, in order to ensure that these troubles can be dealt with in a timely manner, wizards will use some small means on the registered fire dragon.
It's like a trace used by the Ministry of Magic to deal with underage wizards, allowing them to know about the use of magic by underage wizards in the first place......
But the problem now is that the fire dragon they captured not long ago seems to have something wrong again, so that they can't even judge the location of the other party...... These dragon scholars couldn't figure out what was going on.
Seeing that the rain had been falling non-stop, the two wizards could only brave the heavy rain to see what was going on. It is not possible to determine whether the tracking method has failed, or for some other reason, or whether it has flown out or is still in its habitat.
So they chose to go to the last recorded location and go to the site to investigate.
Although the rain was heavy and the waterproof spell was not a panacea, which caused great inconvenience to their movements, such an environment was not only disadvantageous, at least for the fire dragons, it was an environment that they could not adapt to.
Soon, the two chose to go their separate ways, agreeing that whoever found out first would send a red signal to notify the others.
After about half an hour's arduous trek through the heavy rain and forests, Noah felt that he was almost unbearable, there was mud everywhere, there was always a dense rain curtain in his vision, the rumbling thunder covered all the movement, and the moisture and water vapor were extremely unbearable.
Moreover, the traces left by the fire dragon are almost impossible to find, and in such an environment, everything will be washed clean.
"Wait, there's something over there?"
Just when he was about to give up, he felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason, and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of a hillside in front of him.
His intuition told him that there was something behind it.
After hesitating for a while, the wizard walked over with great vigilance, holding on to a hint of luck. However, to his disappointment, although there was a cave behind the hillside, the fire dragon was not in it.
The only thing to be happy about is that the dirt marks in the cave prove that the dragon had been here not long ago.
After entering the deepest part of the cave, he cast a fluorescent spell, and the sudden light helped him see clearly in the darkness.
- On the flat surface of the rock wall at the end of the cavern, there are some strange characters full of unknown meaning, which seem to be mysterious, and Noah has never seen them before.
Its shape is similar to the scratches caused by claws.
He stopped and pondered carefully, and vaguely hallucinated, as if he had seen a fire dragon in the thunder and lightning outside the cave, and carved these symbols into the stone wall with its fierce and sharp claws.
He stared at the characters on the stone, earnestly trying to memorize them, intending to go back and see what was going on, and if there were any books that could explain such a strange behavior of the fire dragon.
But as the man stared intently at the stone wall, he noticed that some of the characters seemed to be a little strange, almost as if they contained some unknown power, so that they trembled slightly in his field of vision.
At this moment, a crazy thought suddenly popped up in Noah's heart-
This is exactly the ancient language of dragons!
