Chapter 338: Two Worlds
After buying all the big bags and small bags, the group sat at the Foglin cold drink shop, each with a large glass of ice cream in front of them and a large basin in front of Addo. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info They all wore mage's robes, but because they didn't graduate, they couldn't wear pointed hats.
At Zhao Mai's suggestion, Tolkien bought a night owl. Although this is also a type of owl, it is more ferocious and powerful. In the owl shop, Zhao Mai took a fancy to this beast at a glance, because it was the only strong guy who dared to bark at Zhao Mai.
"I can help you domesticate the animal, and I can teach it some tricks. Zhao Mai patted Tolkien on the shoulder and said, "Believe me, I must have a better eye than you when it comes to choosing animals." β
"Then why don't you buy it?" Tolkien was curious. "Don't you need to send or receive letters?"
"These animals are not suitable, the spirituality is too poor. And I have Aliang, and I don't want to change to other animals for the time being. After Zhao Mai finished speaking, the big dog snorted in agreement. A group of people bought experimental crucibles, textbooks, reference books, and alchemy materials. Zhao Mai found some strange herbs through the induction of the natural force. If his estimation is correct, these medicinal materials can replace some animal and plant materials in the Westeros continent and become an important helper for him to refine medicines.
Plants from different worlds may have similar medicinal effects in some places, but every time Zhao Mai sees his wand, he will have a question: "Are you sure this is a branch of the Enlightenment Tree?" Zhao Mai asked Xiaohua.
"I'm pretty sure. Xiaohua sat on the chair opposite Zhao Mai like a little lady. In the eyes of others, it was just an ordinary empty chair. "The Tree of Realization is a Bodhi tree, but the Bodhi tree is not necessarily a tree of understanding. On the surface, it was a Bodhi branch, but I could tell that it had a druidic rune imprint on it, and it was a feeling in it. It's just a pity that it didn't grow like I was able to grow, and it lost its vitality a long time ago. You're a druid, and maybe that's why it's your wand. β
"Then the question now is, why is there a branch of the Enlightenment Tree here?" Zhao Mai took out a book from his schoolbag called "History of Magic" and shook his head after looking at the catalog. "There is only a history of witch extermination in the Middle Ages, and there is no earlier history, maybe we can find the relevant records in the school library. β
"Why do you care about this?" Xiaohua was a little puzzled: "That wand is long dead, and the realization above it has also disappeared. I'm a living tree of realization!"
"It's okay, I'm just curious, and it's a cranky thing when I'm bored. Zhao Mai waved his hand: "Don't talk about this matter, let's treat it as a project to pass the time, after all, we still have a long time to get through." β
"I'll always be with you!" Xiaohua raised a hand high and smiled like a flower.
After a while Tolkien returned, panting but smiling brightly. "It's all done, four tickets to Hogwarts, nine and three-quarters of London's King's Cross station. Isn't this platform interesting? When the time comes, we have to walk towards the station pillars and we will be able to reach the hidden platform. There will be a class tomorrow, so there will be no delay, and you can get to school a week earlier, it doesn't get better than that!"
"Then what are we waiting for?" Zhao Mai handed the ice cream in front of him to Ado, he had already eaten a pot, but he still seemed to be unsatisfied. "Addo," he smiled, picking up his cup and continuing to eat.
"How did a stupid giant get in?" Zhao Mai heard someone talking, but when he turned his head to look for it, he couldn't see it. The wizards talked under their hats, rarely looking away.
"Let's go, let's go to the subway station and find a temporary place to stay nearby. I just asked, and the hotels here are full, and there is not a single one. Tolkien scratched his face and said, "I saw someone just hand over the keys and leave." β
"We're not wizards yet, so we don't fit in here. Zhao Mai left the money on the table and got up. Everyone left Diagon Alley together, took Zhao Mai's "theγ»che" to the vicinity of the subway station, and found a postal hotel to rest. They watched together from their windows a march of war bonds, and war heroes chanting slogans were calling on everyone to support Britain, to work hard for the good of the country, and to try to buy war bonds.
"The war will definitely end this year!" Tolkien said to Zhao Mai with a clenched fist.
"Why are you so sure, is it because Grindelwald gave you a guarantee?"
Tolkien nodded: "Grindelwald is the most confident and capable person I have ever met. If even he could not accomplish the feat of stopping the world war, then no one could. β
"With him or not, the First World War would have ended this year. β
"The first time?" Tolkien suddenly became excited: "Why use this ordinal number, is there a second time?"
Zhao Mai knew that he had accidentally said something, but he explained quietly: "That's a speculation of mine, don't take it too seriously." I don't think this war will solve any problems in the end, but will create new ones. And once the problem is solved by war, then there is a great possibility that war will still be used next time. β
Tolkien looked out the window, he frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head: "No. This time the war will be stopped by the wizards. If there's a next time, I'll use my magic to stop it!"
"Nice ideals. Zhao Mai thought that Tolkien's idea could not be realized, but after all, this idea was positive, and he could not pour cold water on him. If you have this time, you might as well look at the textbooks in your hand. After all, according to his physical age, he is about to be thirty, and if he can only be assigned a first grade, wouldn't he have to study with an eleven-year-old child?
Hogwarts has a seven-year school system, with only one final exam per year, and there will be a general wizard level exam and an ultimate wizard level exam in grades 5 and 7, so it can be said that the exam pressure is relatively easy.
However, the pressure of studying is not necessarily. In order to skip a grade, both Zhao Mai and Tolkien decided to buy all the textbooks and then plunge into the study. There is no teacher to teach you in Charms class, so you can't learn it if you just read the text, but you still need to learn books in the nature of written materials such as the history of magic, animal and plant atlases, elementary herbs, and Hogwarts school history.
There are two of them, one is fluent in the language, and the other is a master in linguistics. One relies on psychic skills to aid memory, and the other has a unique method of learning and categorizing. No matter who encounters a difficult place, the two people inspire each other through discussion, and the speed of learning is still very fast.
The next day, they boarded a special train to Hogwarts. (To be continued.) )
