Dawn came, the weather was cold, and it was white everywhere—the snow that had been falling since the night turned into a violent blizzard that covered all of Hogwarts.

"It's a pity, our dueling club...... It won't be open until next year," Ricciardo looked a little disappointed when he met Lockhart in the morning, "Dumbledore said, and it would take a little waiting. ”

"Don't worry," Ricciardo, who had returned to his normal routine, looked calm, "Dumbledore is not an idle person, and he has to deal with him...... It's also good for me to be a little more prepared. ”

"You're really surprising to me...... How sure are you against Dumbledore? ”

Ricardo held out an index finger, and Lockhart almost shouted in surprise: "Ishei! Defeat Dumbledore! Merlin's beard, you're too confident! It's a great wizard who defeated the first generation of the Dark Lord and suppressed the second generation of the Dark Lord and didn't dare to come out! ”

"You're thinking too much," Ricardo said angrily, "Issei is sure not to be exposed by him, or to get his attention." ”

"That's right—it's a bit rude, but I have to say that the wizarding ceiling in this world won't be so easy to pierce. By the way, how have you been out to eat lately? Lockhart thought to himself and asked, "You're not like someone who gives up halfway." ”

"What else? Cognition has hit a bottleneck," Ricciardo said, looking disappointed, "I've learned a strange thing now, and that's a big reason why I want to challenge Dumbledore. ”

"Good luck. Thousands of things that don't have anything to do with the [original]. Lockhart sent a meaningless greeting and left, preparing the Dueling Club and the countless letters in the room.

"Maybe...... Hope. Ricardo let out a long sigh, his eyes a little depressed.

Cardo hadn't been to the chamber in weeks. He put the magical Slytherin journal in his bracer, and he didn't even bother to look at it again - not even the reports of the magic experiments.

He has been comforting himself that the world in the original book will be safe and sound even after seven years, and the catastrophe of the destruction of the world will not come at that time - he is still clear about this, after all, all the famous books that must be read in compulsory education will basically not involve the scene of demons destroying the world, even if it is a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace, it looks like that.

So - nothing to worry about, just don't go to that place anymore and everything will be fine.

Don't be afraid, don't think about it, it's going to be fine, it's really going to be okay.

But what about now? He thought about it again, after all, Harry Potter hadn't gone that far in the Chamber of Secrets in the original plane, and he hadn't seen that part of the secret.

No one will be able to get there – at least not for decades to come.

He didn't know whether Salazar Slytherin's phrase "Sleeping Dragons Do Not Disturb" meant whether humans were demons or demons, and whether his actions in the Chamber of Secrets had disturbed the dragon's sleep.

Nietzsche once said that if you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back, so when you see that diary, does the so-called "sleeping dragon" also see yourself, or is awakened by yourself? Light travels in a straight line, as both Ricardo and the "sleeping dragon" are quite clear.

He still remembered what he once learned from the students, the biggest rule of the time-traveler: the plot is not clear, parallel time and space.

So...... Does he live in the original book, or in some parallel time and space similar to the original book?

It's suspicious.

At the same time, he had to feel lucky that he hadn't finished reading the original book: a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, with a few occasional flaps of its wings, could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later, not to mention his own character who has the ability to change the course of the future at any time.

This isn't a game, he's not the Fourth Calamity, and the people around him aren't so-called NPCs.

This is a real world, if he dies, he is really dead, there will be no second resurrection, there will be no desperate situation suddenly there is any system, he needs to live for himself.

If you have really read the original book, you will be shackled by the story lines in the original book, so you will be obsessed with mastering the plot and be frightened by all the variables.

is like what Dumbledore told him last year, Liu Yan of the Western Han Dynasty, the first half of his life was smooth sailing because of rebirth, and the second half of his life lost control of the future, so he lost everything.

He really lives in this world, and the future is not something that the aunt in his former world can grasp, and the plot is just a possibility for the future.

There are too many plots in the original time and space.,Instead, there are subjective assumptions about all characters or things.,The realistic ending will definitely not be as smooth as the fanfiction.。

The rebirth of Chino and the secret room diary are definitely variables that do not appear in the original book, but as long as he knows the original route of the novel, he will fall into many dangers - Chino is actually an example.

For the past few days, he has been quietly staying in his office, seriously studying soul magic, and hardly going out except for dinner.

But his routine has changed, after all, he can't learn much now.

I don't know if it's because Ricardo is really talented or whatever, Nicol Lemay's thick book was completely eaten by him, and all the spell content was experimented with by him on Voldemort's remnant soul, basically, everything he could understand at this level was in place.

He had tried to connect the crest to soul magic, as Nicol Lemay had said, but he had never found that feeling. For him, if he had to say that he was ugly, it was that the elements made up of matter, but the soul was idealistic, whether it was composed of the four major elemental magic patterns was another matter......

What did Nicol Lemay want him to realize?

Perhaps that trip to the Chamber of Secrets was the closest he had come to a breakthrough: he had already felt the flow of natural lines in his heart, a sense of epiphany lingering in his heart, ready to reach the next realm.

However, he retreated, not only because he heard the voice belong to Slytherin, but also because of his own self-knowledge. It is true that he was not ready for an epiphany, not to burn incense, bathe and pray to God, but to lack a lot of basic things.

After all, the experiment is just an experiment, and the spells that can only be used against Voldemort's remnant are still a little less flavorful, and even with the addition of Nick the Ghost, there is also a lack of that feeling of practice.

He has a lot of experience in this, after all, many students only understand the meaning of the formula after memorizing it and then doing it hundreds of times.

The solution he thought of was practice.

So, this Christmas...... It's going to be busy.

There's no need to ask Nicol Lemay for any soul spell books, go for a spin in the Silent Alley...... The guy who doesn't have long eyes is sent to the door.

Inexplicably, Ricardo was looking forward to this holiday very much.
