Chapter 233: Back to Hogwarts
After saying goodbye to Konstantin, Jiang Ning walked alone through the streets of Los Angeles at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I didn't get anything out of coming here!
The biggest purpose is to know how to deal with the pagan gods. However, the results were bleak, and there was not a single clue or answer at all.
This is the first time that Jiang Ning has returned home in another world.
Looking at the azure crystal in his hand, in the night, the azure crystal shimmered with a misty light. Reflecting Jiang Ning's face hidden under the hood, it flickered and flickered.
Then, in the dim alley, a thunderous muffled sound sounded. A bottomless pit was exposed to Jiang Ning's eyes after the dust cleared.
With a release of the finger, the azure crystals slid into the dark and deep hole, disappearing after a few seconds. With a single wand, the crater vanished. Jiang Ning's figure gradually disappeared in the darkness.
……
Da-da-da-da!
In the early morning, on a country beast road, an aristocratic horse-drawn carriage swayed and walked on the country beast road.
The driver of the car did not say a word, brandished his horsewhip, and from time to time struck in mid-air, resounding a crisp sonic boom. The two sturdy horses, walking lightly, did not care at all about the rugged beast roads in the countryside.
The carriage went all the way from day to night; In the silence of the wilderness, only the crisp chirping of insects and the light of the four lamps barely illuminated the road ahead.
……
In a classical experiment mixed with science fiction, Jiang Ning is holding a book of electrical circuits and researching.
On his desk, stacks of books and experimental materials are placed.
Occasionally, I take a sip of tea from a teacup, flip the pages with my fingers, and the crystal chandelier hanging above it spreads white light.
Putting down the books and teacups in his hands, Jiang Ning walked to the experimental table.
The wand was pointed at the many materials on the bench, and the smelted metal melted at a rate visible to the naked eye, and was placed in the vessel at a time.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning kept carving something on a metal plate carved with intricate patterns; He then dotted the liquid metal on the sheet metal in the right proportions.
There are words in the mouth, and the point is sharp.
The brilliant light flickered, and the metal plate on the test bench was a board similar to an integrated circuit.
Before Jiang Ning could show his joy, the metal plate in front of him was suddenly burned by the flames.
“……”
"What went wrong?"
Flipping through the analysis records in the parchment, Jiang Ning frowned at the reason for the failure of the analyst.
"Well, Mithril seems to be over...... No, it has nothing to do with Mithril. This point...... And the lines of the runes... Suck...", looking at the analysis record in the notebook, he muttered in anguish: "That's right, what went wrong?" ”
Unwilling to fail for no reason, Jiang Ning continued to carefully analyze the cause of the accident under the light.
……
He is trying to research rune technology, merging modern science with wizarding doctrine to see if he can develop a mysterious, powerful, and efficient rune technology.
However, at present, the effect is very small.
……
"Master, the portkey has arrived." The image of the butler appeared behind Jiang Ning, reminding him.
Jiang Ning raised his head, looked at the sky outside through the glass window: "It's been so long...", and then looked at the experimental table, staring speechlessly: "I can only put it down first." He sorted out his experimental analysis records, pushed open the door, and walked out.
……
The portkey in front of me was a large tree standing alone on the edge of a swamp.
The trunk is quaint and powerful, and it is a hidden portkey. It was Slytherin who told him that with this portkey, he would be able to quickly return to the vicinity of Edinburgh.
Except for the Big Four, no one in the academy knows about this secret doorkey.
"Open!"
Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, Jiang Ning let out a sigh.
Subsequently, the branches and leaves of the ancient tree are silent and automatic, and the branches are constantly swaying. A pair of emerald green eyes suddenly appeared on the torso, and the old bark of the tree turned into skin similar to that of a human.
The emerald green eyes glanced at Jiang Ning, and then its ancient body began to move; The branches twisted and turned, revealing a small vermilion door.
The carriage turned into a streamer and shrunk into a pendant, and Jiang Ning cherished it and put it on his chest. Pushed open the small vermilion door and walked inside. Subsequently, the ancient tree was restored to its original state again.
……
Walking on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Jiang Ning walked towards Hogwarts.
He didn't choose to go into the city, it was really a medieval European city, and it was hard to see anything new. Moreover, the environment is dirty and messy, and sewage is everywhere, accompanied by feces and urine that may fall from the sky and splash all over your body......
Coupled with the foul smell of the air, the medieval European cities of this era were nowhere near as clean and beautiful as they were in the twenty-first century.
Through the portkey, Jiang Ning enters the Hogwarts realm.
Looking at the castle standing on the edge of the black lake, the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.
……
"Bell, bell!"
"Crunch!"
With a gut-wrenching sound, the heavy castle gate was then opened.
"You are?"
Looking at the wizard in black robe and leather armor, with most of his face obscured by the hood, Hans was vigilant, and his right hand slowly touched the wand hanging from the side of his thigh.
"Hans, don't you know me?"
"You... You are! ”
Looking at the familiar exotic appearance and the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice under the hood, Hans was excited: "Sir, are you back?" ”
"Yes, it's me." Jiang Ning nodded with a smile.
Hans immediately opened the door and said happily, "Sir, please come in." Lord Gryffindor will be very happy to find out! ”
Jiang Ning raised his feet and walked in, and along the way, Hans kept talking to Jiang Ning, and introduced the current situation at Hogwarts. To Jiang Ning's surprise, he left Britain, set foot on the European continent, and then crossed Africa to the American continent. After that, he left this world, and now he is returning, and Hogwarts has passed more than ten years.
After Jiang Ning found out, he was silent for a long time.
Hans, seeing that the atmosphere was a little dreary, took the initiative to divert the subject; began to talk about the changes in Hogwarts, focusing on the group of young wizards who were rescued and escorted by Jiang Ning. After more than ten years of hard study, they have now become a group of very good wizards. Some entered secular dynasties and served as advisors to the royal family or scholars, so as to obtain noble titles and domains. These sorcerers took root in the secular world, got married, had children, and started their own families.
Some wizards choose to stay at Hogwarts as a priest or a teacher in the house, as a way to repay the house for their training. The other point is to help more lonely little wizards.
Hans also mentions that a group of Dark Wizards attempted to attack Hogwarts a few years ago. However, these dark wizards were repelled by the Big Four and some of the wizards who stayed behind in the academy, and they became famous. Let the entire British island and the continent of Europa on the other side of the channel know about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It attracted a large number of wizards to come to take refuge, some of them alone, and some of them moved with their families, greatly increasing the power of wizards in Britain.
Beyond that, the situation in Europe as a whole remains chaotic.
The black wizards and the white wizards are still fighting. The great damage caused by magic not only kills wizards, but also causes serious damage to ordinary people.
Mortals are very afraid of wizards!
So much so that the monarchs and lords of the nations spontaneously resisted the wizards, setting off a craze for catching wizards in the secular world. Moreover, the initiator of this craze is the prestigious Papal State.
For a time, the entire European continent, as long as someone noticed that someone was suspected of being a wizard. Then they will be caught, tied to the cross, and burned with fire. The bodies of serfs and freedmen who had been unjustly killed piled up could slow down the Danube.
However, such a craze for frenzied rejection of wizards has attracted strong resistance from wizards. These powerful wizards are constantly attacking with revenge.
The monarchs and lords of the nations suffered heavy losses, and they no longer dared to carry out the blatant operation of 'hunting wizards'.
……
After Jiang Ning heard this, he was silent, these things didn't care about his business. So, he just listened and didn't say anything else.
"Sir, please wait here for a moment, and I'll go and ask the deans."
"Go ahead!"
Hans bowed respectfully and took his stride to inform the Four. Jiang Ning was sitting on a chair, looking at the decoration of the auditorium, the little wizards who came and went were very curious about this strange wizard with an exotic appearance, but when they saw that their mentor Hans was also treated so respectfully, they didn't dare to come forward to ask, the hierarchy of this era was extremely strict. Far from being a people's cook, if a commoner collides with a nobleman and is killed by a nobleman, no one will care.
After that, Jiang Ning heard a burst of hurried footsteps!
"My friend, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you're still the same as before, haha!"
Jiang Ning turned around and smiled: "Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, long time gone!" ”
