Chapter 162: Requests and Questions
Looking at Nagini, who was still crawling in the cage, everyone felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Riddle, can you communicate with her?" The little wizard Xiwen asked tentatively.
"I can try." Riddle replied.
He took two steps forward, making a weird "hiss" sound from his mouth, and tried to talk to Nagini in the old snake voice.
Nagini calmed down a little when he heard Riddle's voice, but after a moment he reverted to his manic appearance.
Seeing this, Riddle shook his head and said to everyone, "She doesn't trust me and doesn't want to communicate with me at all. ”
"If you can't even communicate smoothly, it seems that there is really nothing you can do." Aurelius' expression became extremely depressed, and he sat down limply next to the cage.
"Okay, don't think about it that much just yet." Dumbledore's eyes flickered slightly as he thought back to Riddle's performance, and then spoke. "It's curfew now, it's time to go back. I guess the two little gentlemen of Slytherin don't want to be punished for breaking the school rules, right? ”
Then, he turned to look at the ghost Xiwen and said, "Strange, please send us to my office." ”
Ghost Xiwen bowed slightly, opening the dimensional door to the office of the head of the Transfiguration Division.
Once in the office, Dumbledore wrote a random note on his desk and handed it to the young wizards Shivin and Riddle.
Dumbledore said to the two young wizards, "If you meet Mr. Plumger, show him this note, and tell him that I asked you to help." ”
The young wizard Siwen took the note and thanked Dumbledore. He then left the office with Riddle and headed for the Slytherin common room.
It was the middle of the night, and there were not a few burning torches left in Hogwarts Castle, and it was very dim.
Shivin and Riddle both drew their wands and used their wand illumination to add some light to the hallway.
"Riddle ......"
"Rozier ......"
The two walked silently from the main tower to the entrance courtyard, looking at the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, but they spoke at the same time.
“…… Let's talk about it first. Xiwen said first.
"Hmm." Riddle slowed down and looked at Shivin and asked. "The Golden Light Gate that teleported us from Hogwarts to Albania was one of the spells you learned from Mr. Strange?"
After half a semester of getting along, Riddle has long found it difficult to find Xiwen every weekend. After his inquiry, Sven did not tell him about Lemay, but instead found an excuse to learn the spells of another system from Mr. Strange in the dungeon room.
When Riddle learns of this, Riddle is puzzled by how Sivin is learning magic from a ghost. It wasn't until today, when he saw that Xiwen was able to cast a portal that spanned thousands of miles, that he realized the power of another system's magic.
Hearing Riddle's question, Xiwen subconsciously paused, and nodded after a slight hesitation.
"Can I learn that spell?" Riddle asked, looking at Xiwen with some hope.
Xiwen glanced at him, frowned without a trace, and asked softly, "What do you want to learn to do?" ”
"I didn't want to do anything." Riddle smiled at Shivin. "It's just that anyone who has seen such a practical magic won't want to know a thing or two."
Shewin was lost in thought.
Riddle's words woke him up. Kama Taj's spells were not the only ones he could use, as advanced spells such as Mirror Space had been learned by Dumbledore in a short period of time, and even modified to subdue Aurelius, who had high hopes from Grindelwald.
"The Great Luo of the Worlds"
Since mirror-space can be learned, there is a high probability that other simpler spells can be comprehended by the rest of the world.
Of course, all this is premised on Xiwen's own willingness to teach them.
However, as a system of magic brought from another world, the advantage of Kama Taj's spells in this world is that other wizards are ignorant of it. If it is really learned by others, then Xiwen's greatest advantage in this life is likely to be gradually erased by others.
It seems like a good choice.
Perhaps by the time Shevan reached Dumbledore's height, he wouldn't have to think about so many complicated issues again. At that time, it is natural that Kama Taj's spells will be passed on in this world.
After figuring this out, Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Mr. Strange's spell after all, and I can't do it myself." He smiled at Riddle and spoke. "I'll definitely mention this to him the next time I see him!"
He had already decided to take Riddle to his soul body later, and then use his identity as a ghost Xiwen to make an excuse to decline his request.
After all, Dumbledore had told Shevin about Riddle's great past, and it was difficult for Shevin to let his guard down completely.
"Didn't he teach you your magic? Why care what he thinks. Riddle said slightly sullenly.
"Riddle, it's not just about morality." Xiwen shook his head and flickered seriously. "My mastery of this spell is not very good, but I can barely use it with the help of alchemy items."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and showed Riddle the apparition shift assist ring on his index finger.
"By chance, I spent a lot of money to get this alchemy ring. It can be used to help me locate the portal, and I wouldn't have been able to cast a portal without this ring. Xiwen said solemnly, half-truthfully.
"In addition, the long-distance portal from the country to Albania was not done by me alone. Mr. Strange was working with the spell on the Albanian side at the time, so we could get to the other side. I wouldn't have been able to teleport that far if I had cast the spell alone! ”
"If I teach you this spell, something might go wrong. I'm worried that this will be dangerous for you. Xiwen said very earnestly as if he was thinking about Riddle.
Although he was skeptical about the veracity of Xiwen's words, Riddle dismissed the idea of letting Xiwen teach him when he heard that it might be dangerous.
"In that case, forget it, then remember to help me talk to Mr. Strange." Riddle said helplessly.
Shevin nodded and replied nonchalantly, but in his heart he was thinking of a reason for rejecting Riddle.
"By the way, what did you just want to tell me?" At this point, Riddle asked again.
Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered a question that had been confused before.
His expression became serious, he stared into Riddle's eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Riddle, are you really unable to communicate with Nagini?"
