Ravenclaw has been gone for a thousand years.

The consciousness she deliberately left behind in order to see her daughter has also been sleeping for thousands of years.

Her portrait certainly does not know what the Union of Scholars, founded more than five hundred years ago, was.

When Scott finishes talking, the Ravenclaw in the painting says, "You can join them." ”

She looked at Scott, who was standing in front of the portrait with a surprised look on his face, and smiled slightly.

"Because of the prophecy, because of Medea staring at you and Salazar hiding behind you, you need to grow up as soon as possible. You don't have time to weigh the pros and cons finely, kid. As long as it is beneficial to improving your strength, you don't have to refuse. ”

Scott nodded approvingly.

He really doesn't have much room to pick and choose now.

Although it stands to reason that he is safe until he graduates, two years is not a long time and will pass soon.

He must race against the clock to seize all the time and not waste any opportunities to improve his strength.

"I know you well, my apprentice." "You're not interested in anything other than magic itself, you don't have the desire to be a leader, power is a trouble for you, so I'm not worried that you'll be drawn to the minds of those people." ”

"You're right." Scott said with a smile.

At this moment, he decided to accept Graplan's invitation to join the Scholars Alliance, with the purpose of course, to harvest wool with his credits.

As for how do the credits come from?

Scott glanced at the inner door, and outside Helena's study, there was a lot of knowledge that could be exchanged for credits.

Although much of the knowledge contained in the books stored in this study is no longer applicable to modern times, it is redeemable for points for the League of Scholars, whose original intention was to revive ancient magic.

Grapeland also said that as long as it is knowledge that has not yet been included in the [knowledge bank].

Scott had no doubt about the richness of the knowledge contained in Ravenclaw's collection of books for Helena.

Despite this intention, Scott could not make up his own mind, and had to speak to Helena, the owner of the Ravenclaw portrait and study, and ask for their consent.

To Scott's surprise, Ravenclaw in the painting agreed to his request, as did Helena in the painting and Helena in the ghost.

Because they all know very well that the magical knowledge of thousands of years ago can be said to be outdated.

For today's wizards, those books don't do much more than broaden their knowledge.

Scott was well aware of this, so he didn't go into this knowledge.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried to learn some ancient magic, and it was because he had tried it that he realized that while those spells were more powerful than those in the modern magic system, they couldn't keep up with the fast-paced fighting style of modern magic.

In addition, the way in which those spells consumed mana in the past was much more extensive than the way modern spells were consumed.

In short, ancient magic is no more sophisticated than modern magic.

Simplicity, speed, refinement, and moderation are all advantages of the modern magic system, and Scott is more comfortable with this style.

That night, Scott, who returned to his dorm room, was questioned by his roommates, who wanted to know what Dumbledore thought of the so-called League of Scholars.

Scott briefly recounted what Dumbledore and Professors Flitwick had to say about the League of Scholars.

After hearing this, Eddie was a little surprised and said, "So although the Scholars Alliance is not so good, it is not so bad either?" ”

Roger patted Eddie on the shoulder, "Anyway, this is also a magical society that has been established for more than five hundred years, and even the alchemist Nicol Lemay was a member of it during his lifetime, and we are not qualified to be invited by them. ”

"Okay." Eddie shrugged his shoulders, "I'm interested in what's called [knowledge bank], if we have that kind of technology......"

At this, his eyes lit up.

"Then we can form the Internet of the wizarding world and easily become the media tycoon of the wizarding world!"

Roger nodded approvingly.

The two of them went off topic while talking.

"Scott!" Eddie rushed over and shook Scott's hand, staring at him with hopeful eyes, "Please exchange the knowledge of the magical Internet!" ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Scott hurriedly pulled out his hand and said angrily, "A wizard who has this kind of knowledge will not necessarily exchange the knowledge for the [Knowledge Bank], and even if there is such knowledge in the [Knowledge Bank], I will not have credits that can be exchanged." ”

"Okay." Eddie knew it was unlikely, so he walked back to his bed and sat down.

"Scott, are you really going to join them?" Milton asked, a little worried.

Scott nodded, "Join." ”

Milton opened his mouth and finally just said, "Be careful." ”

Scott smiled at him and said, "Don't be burdened, I'm going to [Knowledge Bank], not because of you." ”

"If that's the case." Milton smiled.

Scott added, "It would be nice if we could solve your business by the way." ”

Milton hurriedly shook his head, "Didn't you say that you have to exchange credits for anything you want, and credits need to be exchanged for knowledge that they don't have, which is too precious, I can't let you use the credits on me." ”

"Didn't I say it?" Scott laughed again, "Miss Graplan, as long as I agree to join the Scholars League, she is willing to give credit to fulfill your wish and Caccini to exchange talents for each other. ”

"Did she really say that?" Milton stood up.

Scott nodded affirmatively.

At this time, Roger walked up to Milton and patted him on the shoulder, "So, Milton's musical talent is coming back soon?" ”

"Oh!" Eddie also walked over and looked at Milton with a grin, "Great, Milton, but I have to say, I hope your overly sensitive personality doesn't come back together." ”

Both were happy for Milton.

"Nope." Milton shook his head, "That's not what I meant. ”

He said to Scott, "According to Miss Graplan, credits are extremely precious, why would she be willing to pay such a price to woo you?" There must be some reason for this that we don't know! ”

He walked up to Scott and looked at him earnestly.

"I think you'd better be cautious, Scott."

"Don't worry." "Maybe you don't need a lot of credits to fulfill your and Caccini's wishes," Scott said. ”

But Milton didn't believe this, he was afraid that his business would cause Scott to get into trouble, so he uncharacteristically said a lot and persuaded Scott for a long time.

In fact, Scott didn't agree to join the Scholars League because of Milton.

He decided to join because of the threat of prophecy and the need to improve his strength as soon as possible, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Milton didn't know about the prophecy, and he decided that part of the reason Scott had joined the Scholars League was because of him, and Scott couldn't explain it for a while, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Although the decision was made within a day, Scott was ready to wait until next week's Magical Beasts Conservation class to inform Grapeland of his decision.

He didn't want the other party to think that he was attracted to the Scholars Alliance, and he was even eager to join.

On Saturday morning, due to the Ravenclaw House team's Quidditch match, Roger, the team's captain, and Eddie, the intelligence officer, got up early to prepare.

All the way to the breakfast table, Roger and his teammates were still talking about tactics.

They also challenged each other against their opponents in the match, the Gryffindor House players.

It didn't take long for the newspaper delivered by the owl to break the cheerful atmosphere in the auditorium.

Terrorist Attack! High-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic have been attacked! 》

The huge black headline on the Daily Prophet caught everyone's eye and made the lively auditorium instantly quiet.

Everyone who got the newspaper couldn't wait to start reading.

This silence did not last long, not to mention, one after another exclamations rang out.

"The attacker is the Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, Mr. Barty Crouch!"

"He's been attacked in the Quidditch World Cup venue built by the Ministry of Magic, and he's gone to inspect the construction of the stadium!"

"Thankfully, there was a team of Aurors stationed there, and they saved him in time!"

"But the Dark Wizard who attacked Mr. Crouch quickly escaped using the Apparition, and the Aurors didn't catch him."

Scott also had a newspaper in his hand.

The report was not accompanied by photographs, and no one was photographed at the scene.

Mr. Crouch was attacked yesterday afternoon by a black-robed, masked wizard of unknown origin in the World Cup stadium built by the Ministry of Magic.

"Black robe and mask, is it a Death Eater?" Eddie said to Scott.

Scott understood what he meant.

In the footage they captured in Little Hangleston, the Death Eaters were dressed in black robes and masks.

"Who knows." Scott put down the newspaper in his hand.

He also suspected that Crouch was his son.

But suspicion without evidence is suspicion.

In the current state of chaos at the Ministry of Magic, the chances of such a case being solved are low.

I don't know what happened to Voldemort.

Scott thought.

Under Medea's aggressiveness, the Dark Lord should find a way to recover his strength as soon as possible.

If he wants to use Harry's blood to resurrect like in the "original book", he will have to lurk and patiently look for opportunities, and Scott doesn't know if the current Dark Lord has that patience.

Maybe he can't wait?

the bones of fathers, the flesh of servants, the blood of enemies.

These are the three materials used in Voldemort's complete resurrection in the "original books".

But Harry wasn't the only enemy of his kind.
