92, the mutilated book (the third update)

After several attempts, Luo Xiu's transformation of the flying broom fell into a bottleneck, and he simply put down this problem first and set out to do something else to change his thinking.

After lunch, Rosho went to the library on the fourth floor, and although he had only come here to read books the next day, the librarian, Mrs. Pince, had apparently already known him.

To Roche's surprise, Mrs. Pince's attitude towards him had improved slightly, and although the proud old woman was still expressionless, at least she stopped shouting at him.

"Be careful when reading a book, don't stain the book." Mrs. Pince said in a cold tone, which was already her friendliest way of speaking.

Luo Xiu nodded obediently, and then walked to the window to continue reading, the book "The Composition of Magic and Spells" recommended by Professor Snape last night Luo Xiu only read about one-tenth, and he only scratched the surface of the knowledge in it.

Just as he was about to sit at his desk and read hard, a familiar figure passed by him.

Hermione Granger - She is like a shadow of Rohew, whenever Rohew comes to the library to read a book, or studies on his own in the classroom, then Hermione will appear next to Rohew and study with him.

"Hi, Miss Granger." Luo Xiu smiled and said hello, he thought Hermione's behavior was really hilarious.

Hermione, however, ignored him and walked straight past Luo Xiu, who she regarded as her worst enemy, and of course enemies were not allowed to greet each other.

Luo Xiu smiled helplessly, lowered his head and continued to read "The Composition of Magic and Spells", the books recommended by Professor Snape personally were much more difficult than ordinary textbooks, so Luo Xiu's reading speed also slowed down.

There were no classes on Friday afternoons, so Luo Xiu was free to read in the library, and in order to delve into this amazing book, Luo Xiu missed dinner and read until eight o'clock in the evening.

Hermione, who was sitting in the back, was already dizzy from hunger, and she was really shocked by Luo Xiu's concentration - he had been sitting in his seat for seven and a half hours, and he had been reading books for seven and a half hours in addition to going to the toilet, what kind of scholar could have such perseverance!

"Gollum ......"

A cry came from her stomach, and Hermione took a sip of water from her glass and said to herself, "I'm not hungry...... I'm not tired either...... I still have to learn, I have to keep learning......"

Finally, after five minutes, Luo Xiu finished reading the book "The Composition of Magic and Spells".

The first time is just to read through, and then you need to continue to read it to deepen your understanding.

But after reading this book, Luo Xiu had an intuitive feeling: this book is not complete.

In fact, most of the theories are superficial, more like a kind of popular science introduction, and the author should have extended some practical theoretical analysis, but there is no such content in the book.

After a closer look, Luo Xiu found another problem.

According to the habit of authors in the wizarding world, a complete magic book will have an epilogue at the end of the chapter, and the outline will be summarized and summarized. But the book doesn't, and ends abruptly after the final chapter, "The Same Variation of Multiple Spells."

"No, it's half a book, or even a third."

Luo Xiu immediately made a judgment that this was by no means the complete version of the book.

Although Luo Xiu had already learned a lot through this half of the book, after studying it a few more times, Luo Xiu was sure that he would be able to create his own spells like Professor Snape. But the rest of the book is obviously more important, and the key knowledge is hidden behind.

"Why didn't Professor Snape tell me the book wasn't complete? Or...... He doesn't know about it either? ”

Luo Xiu muttered to himself as he stood up and searched along the bookshelf.

He walked over to the place where Snape had taken out the book yesterday, only to see that there was nothing else on the shelf about it.

There is only one copy of "The Composition of Magic and Spells", and there are no sister chapters around, but Luo Xiu doesn't believe that it is the only one, and continues to look for it.

Walking through the narrow passage and reading the books on both sides, Luo Xiu never found anything, and his eyes were dazzled.

Just as he was about to move on, an eerie voice came.

"Where do you want to go? What are you looking for?! ”

Following the prestige, I saw the librarian, Mrs. Pince, suddenly appear in front of Luo Xiu, followed by a rickety feather duster.

Looking up again, there is a no-go area in front of the library—there are many books on dark arts in the no-go area, which can only be read by senior students with the signature of the professor.

Luo Xiu whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Pince, I'm looking for the second half of a book. ”

As he spoke, Luo Xiu raised the "Composition of Magic and Spells" in his hand.

Mrs. Pince glanced at it and said indifferently, "There is no second half of this book, and that's what it's all about. ”

"But why didn't the author write an epilogue?" Luo Xiu asked, "According to the rules, the author has to write an epilogue at the end of the book. ”

"How can there be so many rules!" Mrs. Pince said impatiently, "Don't you see that no one even knows who the author of this book is?" This is an ancient book, and people in the past didn't have so many rules to talk about! ”

Luo Xiu nodded helplessly, the author of this book did write: Anonymous.

But he didn't believe Mrs. Pince's words, there must be a part of the book hidden somewhere.

At this time, Mrs. usually urged impatiently: "Okay, pack your things and get out!" The library is closing! ”

Rochew had no choice but to turn and leave, while Mrs. Pince, with her feather duster, walked to the back to drive Hermione, another self-study student.

"Looks like I can't find this book today." Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly, and prepared to leave with the books.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sound suddenly came from the direction of the library's forbidden area.

Luo Xiu unexpectedly followed the prestige, only to see a heavy book floating in the air, flying in his direction.

"What's the situation?"

Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, and the book had already fallen into his hands in the next second.

Immediately afterward, a ghost floated out of the library's forbidden area, with a thin face, hollow eyes, and bloodstained robes.

Barrow the Bloody - One of the ghosts of Slytherin, and one of the ghosts that everyone fears at school.

"Mr. Barrow, you handed me this book?" Luo Xiu asked curiously.

Bloodman Barrow didn't speak, but turned straight away from the library.

Luo Xiu looked down and saw that the title of the book that flew in was "The Composition of Magic and Spells"! It's just that this book is much thicker than the one Snape gave him, and this should be the full version!

And not only that, but the author's name also appears on the back of the book.

The Composition of Magic and Spells by Salazar Slytherin.
