Chapter Ninety-Three: Dumbledore's Letter
"Why do they like to give me books so much!"
Early the next morning, Xiwen stood by the Christmas tree. Looking at the piles of gifts under the tree, he complained silently.
Most of these gift wraps are flat rectangular in shape, so you don't have to open them to see what's inside.
Now, Xiwen is holding two identical hardcover editions of "Theory of Magic" in his hands, and his face is full of helplessness.
The two identical books were given by Abraxas and Mobley respectively, and it is not known whether they discussed it or were too tacit. Gomez, on the other hand, gave a copy of "Alchemy Fundamentals and Advancement", which was quite in line with Xiwen's heart.
He skimmed over the many gifts from his classmates he didn't know very well, and picked up Elciona's gift box, one of the few gifts that didn't give him a book.
The gift box is a delicate red and white Christmas style, tied with a pink streamer. When you open it, you can see that it contains chocolates of various shapes.
Xiwen stuffed one in his mouth on the spot, and it tasted good.
Then he looked at Miranda's gift. The gift she gave was also a flat rectangular bag, which made Xiwen secretly a little dissatisfied.
Xiwen thought to himself, he carefully selected and gave her such exquisite glasses, but was he treated as a random book given to a classmate who was not very close?
Angry, he unpacked it, saw the book inside, and then his eyes widened.
It's not so much a book as a heavy leather notebook. On the cover of the notebook is written in Juan Xiu's handwriting - "Book of Spells"!
Xiwen's mood instantly changed from anger to surprise, and he took out the attached manual and read it.
It turned out that Miranda had written the "Spell Notes" before Christmas, adding a lot of new content and correcting some of the previous inaccuracies. And she named it after the name proposed by Hiven, the "Book of Spells".
Not only that, but Miranda also deliberately cast a self-created spell on the title page of this notebook, as long as you pronounce the spell of this spell, and then say the spell you want to find, the title page will automatically appear the number of pages where the spell is located.
My Healing Game
"It's amazing, even the search function is there." Xiwen was amazed and sighed.
Then, he closed the Book of Incantations, stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
With a "bang", the house-elf Millie appeared in front of Xiwen.
"Millie is at your service, Master Xiwen!" Millie bowed.
"Millie, I'll give you one thing." Shiwen smiled, handed the Book of Spells to Millie, and said. "Take this notebook to the family's bookstore in Diagon Alley and give it to Stott as a steward."
After a moment's thought, he took out another piece of parchment, wrote a few lines of notes on it, and tucked it in the book.
"Let Steward Stout look at this note, and he'll know how." Xiwen said.
After Millie's apparition left, Xiwen's brief excitement lasted for a few minutes, and then he became helpless again. Annoyedly, he opened his Christmas present......
After uncovering an unknown number of books, abruptly, a parchment envelope slipped out of the pile of gifts.
This envelope caught the attention of Shevan. After all, a thin envelope didn't hold much of a gift, except something like the voucher he had given to Professor Slughorn.
Xiwen first picked up the envelope and saw the words written on it:
"A Christmas Present to Mr. Shevin Rozier - A· D。 ”
‘A· D? Professor Albus Dumbledore? ’
Curious, Xiwen opened the envelope and saw a golden card with a string of addresses - 21 rue Montmorency in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.
'Enamel? What do you mean? Shewin was a little confused, not knowing what Dumbledore was up to.
Fortunately, in addition to this card, there was also a piece of stationery in the envelope, on which there were two dashing, heroic and handsome handwriting-
"Mr. Rozier: After all this period of study, I don't think I'm going to be able to teach you more and more advanced alchemy, based on your knowledge of the ancient rune. So I will recommend you a person with a letter of recommendation and this address as your Christmas present. The owner of this address is none other than my friend, the master alchemist Nicolas Lemay. ”
"I'll buy you half the Christmas break to learn alchemy from Nick, and it's up to you whether or not you can get his favor. If you agree, you can tap your wand on the bottom right corner of this letter and I will ask another friend of mine to meet you at King's Cross Station on the third day after Christmas. - Your sincerity, Albus Dumbledore. ”
After reading this letter, Xiwen was already unable to close his mouth in surprise, and a strong joy appeared on his face.
Nicolas Lemay is definitely the most famous alchemist in the world now, and maybe even the best alchemist in history!
If he could get the opportunity to learn alchemy from him, Xiwen felt that he would really be able to make a long-awaited hanging ring.
Although he still wondered why Dumbledore thought he was not good enough to teach his alchemy, Sevan couldn't do that much at this time.
He even wanted to rush to Paris to meet Nick Lemay immediately!
……
The three-day waiting time was fleeting, and Xiwen couldn't wait to pack his belongings.
"Are you really going to the country of Efara? I've only been at home for a few days! Sandrine grumbled as she straightened her wrinkled clothes.
"Mom, this is a big opportunity for me." Xiwen's tone was firm. It's because he's been hanging the ring for too long.
"If you want me to say, that Albus Dumbledore just doesn't have good intentions." Because of Dumbledore, Sivin left home during the Christmas holidays, and Sandrine was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore, gritting her teeth. "I think he just has an old love affair with Grindelwald! All day long in Hogwarts Castle. ”
Xiwen shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know why Dumbledore, as the only wizard who could fight against Grindelwald, didn't personally stand up and stop the Dark Lord.
But through a semester of getting along, he believed in Dumbledore's character and was willing to understand whether Dumbledore really had any unspeakable difficulties.
"Then I'm leaving, Mom." Shivin said to Sandrine.
Seeing that Xiwen had made up her mind, Sandrine had to reluctantly wave her hand to him and said, "Take care of yourself in the country of Ename!" ”
Shiwen nodded and grabbed Millie's hand.
With a "bang", they appeared in the alley outside King's Cross Station.
He then followed Dumbledore's instructions and walked outside the gate of the station and wore a green scarf embroidered with the Slytherin emblem around his neck.
After Xiwen sent Millie back, he began to think crankily.
'Who could Dumbledore's friends be?' Won't it be easy to get along? ’
Just as he was distracted, a man with unkempt brown curls and freckles on his face approached.
"Are you Shivin Rozier?" He asked.
