"Look at this, do you know what this is for?" Principal Brooke asked, pointing to a small square box, and Wood picked up the small box and looked at it, it was very light and looked like it was wooden. But when you pick it up, you will find that it is made of brown stone, and Wood feels cold in his hand.

"This thing feels cold in your hand. Wood said, he just took it and looked at it, and then quickly put it down, because it was really cold. Wood only took it for a moment, and he already felt like his hands were about to freeze.

"It's good to feel cold, it's filled with snow and ice from a cold place. When I was a young man, in order to prove my courage, I went to a cold place outside the wizarding world alone. I took this piece of ice and snow as a testimony to my past, but it turns out that a person's courage is valuable, but if you don't have a clear mind, it will turn courage into stupidity. I proved myself to be courageous, but I also paid the price. Brooke raised his right hand as he spoke, and it was only then that Wood noticed that the fingers of Principal Brooke's right hand were missing a little finger.

"That's the price I paid for it, a little thumb. Brooke's only deep look at Wood, who has to say that he is a courageous student, but if a person wants to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar environment, courage alone is absolutely unattainable.

Outside of the wizarding world, many places are very cold, but Brooke went to the coldest place of all the cold places, called the Ice Sea. The world there is ice except ice, and even the road under your feet is ice, and there is not a single land there, and there is no living thing. When I went there, I endured not only the cold, but also the fear that permeated the air.

Looking at the missing finger of Headmaster Brooke, Wood seemed to be able to feel the pain he had at that moment. Seeing that Wood was just looking at himself and not speaking, Brooke smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay now, and seeing you is like seeing yourself when you were younger. Brooke said something so suddenly meaningfully that Wood didn't know what to say.

Wood naturally trusted Headmaster Brooke, but remembering his promise to Professor Seye, he swallowed back what he wanted to say. Brooke saw that Wood didn't speak, but he didn't say anything more. It's just that the more this happens, the more Wood feels that he has betrayed Headmaster Brooke, and as the headmaster of Bird Silent Academy, Brooke has the right to know everything that happens here.

"I asked Pi Po to come to you just to give you a heads-up, although Bird Buyu Academy is a very good college, and the professors and students here are also very good. But each of them here, including myself, has its own goals and objectives. You can get along with each other as long as your own interests are not involved, but once your relationship is affected, then anything can happen. You have to be careful with this kind of relationship, don't let yourself get involved in anyone's relationship. The most important thing for you now is to learn what you have learned in class, because in this way, you will make yourself stronger faster. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Brooke's eyes were on Wood as he spoke.

"I see, Headmaster Brooke, thank you. Wood's tone was flat, but his heart was turbulent, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a complex network of relationships in Bird Silent Academy, and that Principal Brooke would speak so thoroughly to a first-year student.

Wood understood why Brooke suddenly said these things to himself, it was because he knew, so he felt even more sorry for Principal Brooke.

"I have a magic book given to me by an old friend here, and I think it might be helpful for you now, so I've got it for you. Brooke pulled out a book from the shelf, which had worn out badly, the skin of which had been badly worn out by time.

"This book should look precious, how can I take something so valuable from you. There are also a lot of magic books in the library management, I will read the book whenever I have time in the future, you should keep this book for yourself, I think this book is also of great significance to you. Wood was very careful to reject Principal Brooke's kindness, and Wood felt that he was really ashamed of Brooke's kindness to him.

"It's really significant, but no matter how meaningful it is, it's still a book, and a book is meant to be read. Now that the contents don't make sense to me anymore, you can return them to me after you've read them, right?" Brooke insisted that Wood take the book.

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Wood had to carefully accept the book, which was very thick and heavy, and Wood took it with both hands and hugged it tightly in his arms.

When Wood returned, Suri and Mante were waiting for him, and when they saw Wood return, they both looked at Wood with nervous expressions.

"Principal Brooke suddenly called you over, what did he tell you?" asked Su Rui very worriedly.

"Rest assured, Principal Brooke called me over and just gave me a book, which he thought would help me. But it wasn't really given to me, and I wanted to return it after reading it, because it looked too valuable. Wood explained, fearing they would misunderstand.

As soon as Su Rui saw the book in Wood's hand, her eyes lit up: "Wood, do you know whose book this is? Oh, no, to be precise, do you know who wrote this book?"

Both Wood and Mante looked at Su Rui blankly, wondering why she was suddenly so excited.

"I don't think you know, let me tell you, this book was written by Phyllis, the greatest magician in the wizarding world, and you see, it has his own autograph. Just now, Wood came back with him all the way, for fear of being recognized, and now after Su Rui said this, he also noticed that in the lower left corner of the book, there was a signature, and it was indeed Phyllis's name written on it.

"Principal Brooke and Phyllis must have been very good friends, and I also saw a portrait of Fille given to Principal Brooke in Principal Brooke's office, which was painted by Phyllis himself, and depicted Brooke when he was younger. Wood said happily that in this way, the person Wood loved became the two of them.
