Brie touched a brick next to the portrait, there were tiny moss on the brick, caused by the moist air from outside passing through the gap, but other than that, Brie felt the magic.

Because of the special talent, that is, the force of nature, Brie is well aware of the problem here.

"Knock knock..."

The wand on Brie's wrist popped out and landed in his hand, and Brie tapped it lightly.

With a thud, a portrait slowly opened, and it was a hidden place that led to it.

As she walked through the moss-covered walls and stairs, she soon saw the light, and the first thing Brie felt was the cool breeze and the silence.

This is a tower on the east side, where the sunset does not shine.

"Rustle..."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you, are you greeting me?"

Outside the tower there is a small platform, and on the platform there is a large leafy tree, very verdant, leaning against the tower, under which there are stone benches and stone chairs; The tower is small and inconspicuous at Hogwarts, but it still offers an endless view of the entire Hogwarts landscape.

When looking at it from outside of Hogwarts, the tree and tower cannot be seen, and it is clear that a powerful Ignore Charm has been applied to this place, which can only be seen up close.

Brie came out of the small passage under the tower, and when he looked up, he could see the sharp corner room on the small tower, which looked abandoned for a long time.

Walking around the stone staircase on the small platform, Brie came to the door of the Sharp Corner House, knocked on the wooden door, and as a matter of course did not respond.

"Alaho Cave Open!"

"Bang!" The wooden door was opened.

"It's empty, ahem, well, it's dusty."

It can be seen that no one has been here for a long time, or has not discovered this place, but now it belongs to Brie's secret base.

"Clean up!"

"It smells fresh!"

After throwing a dozen spells, this sharp corner house can only see people, the four walls of the house seem to be mixed with some bronze, the floor is a precious stone, and there is some magic, but Brie doesn't know much about it, and can only guess that it is probably fireproof.

The room is very large, like a small classroom, and there is a large window on all sides, which is temporarily unobstructed, and the wind can blow in at will.

"There's an attic here."

Looking at the stone door next to it, Brie saw the winding stone staircase, followed the stone staircase upstairs, and used the cleanup spell, and soon Brie saw a small locked door.

"Bang dang." Before Brie could use the door opening charm, the lock was overwhelmed.

After a few successive cleansing spells, Brie walked in.

The space here has been enlarged due to the Traceless Stretching Spell, so it is not smaller than the space below.

The walls are also doped with bronze, and are divided into two parts, the west side is like an office area, which is large, and the back is the bedroom, which is the normal rest size; And it's not empty, the office area is full of bookshelves and books, and there is a large solid wood table and chairs against the wall, and there is a bronze snake lamp on the table.

"Oh, here's it, you're the first to discover this place in years, kid."

"Are you alive?" A bronze snake lamp, which is normal in Hogwarts, and many of the facilities are conscious.

"I can't say that, but I can say that, it doesn't matter, don't worry, Hogwarts doesn't hurt young wizards, even if I'm not part of Hogwarts, I need to follow this rule."

Not a product of Hogwarts?

"Alchemy items, I mean, that guy is a master alchemist, and I, it's the gadgets he makes, helping him light and clean the house, but I'm lucky, that guy likes to be clean, so I'm alive until now, and the other alchemy products have been sold by him, or thought they were ruined by ......"

"Don't ask why, because that guy has been pursuing to make philosopher's stones all his life, so he is very poor and proud, and the powerful knowledge of alchemy drives him crazy until he dies, he is so poor that he can't even afford a tomb, and even his soul is sold to the god of death, and there is nothing left...... You may hate my chatter, but you have to listen to it. ”

"Hmm." Brie replied casually, but looked around.

"Don't look, it's all that guy's books." The bronze snake said angrily: "He almost sold me for an alchemy book, but fortunately he made a new one and sold it!" ”

"Come here, kid, as long as you sign an equal contract with me, I'll give you all the books here!"

Equal contract, Brie didn't know why, scratched his head and squinted, and said innocently: "Why not a master-servant contract." ”

"You want to be my servant, good boy, knowledge is priceless—" Bronze spat hot oil with tears in his eyes, and Brie's smile turned fake.

"You should be sure to get your wick right."

Brie skirted the bronze snake lamp and leaned cautiously, well, the sleeping place was also empty.

"Don't look at it, after that guy dies, all the valuable things here will be paid to the creditor because of contract magic, except for me and these books, it's clean."

The bronze snake slowly climbed down the bronze lamp, and on the solid wood table, he used the lamp oil to draw a strange magic array, Brie was a little familiar, this is the sign of the contract, Brie had seen it in a miscellaneous book in a second-hand bookstore, the aura of this formation is the same, fair, no lies.

"I just want to live, the magic crystals left by that person are running out of power, I need you to add some for me, he said, the first person to come in will help me, he has never lied to me, even if he wavered to sell me!"

Brie tentatively put his hand on the table, and after making sure that there was no danger, he said, "I can directly inject magic into you, as long as you can guarantee that there is no danger, and of course, you will let me read these books." ”

Brie nodded curiously at the bronze serpent and smiled, "I don't need a slave. ”

"My name is Brie Storm Ode, if I can help you." These books are mine.

The bronze snake was stunned, and the bright yellow pupils looked at Brie's sincere eyes sluggishly, and then lowered the snake's head and whispered: "I don't have a name, but I gave myself a - Verr...... Of course, this is Hogwarts, and I swear by my wick that I will keep you safe in the East Corner, forever, as long as I live. ”

The contract on the table worked, and soon it was tied to Brie and Verre, and Brie immediately felt that Verri could no longer hurt him, and then Brie put his finger on the bronze lamp and said, "Directly inject magic power?" ”

"Oh, wait, you have to know that the magic of the little wizard is unstable."

Climbed back onto the bronze lamp and said nervously: "The magic power of a wizard is relatively constant, and what is consumed when casting magic is not magic power, but spiritual power, which represents the size of the effect when you can cast magic...... So if you want to inject magic into the bronze lamp, you need a spell, and you have to learn it quickly, because I don't have much oil to support because of the awakening and the contract. ”

"Oh, I thought you were going to absorb my magic directly." Brie actually wanted to try to give the natural magic in his body to the lamp oil to see what would happen, he always felt that the natural magic was not his, but brought by An Qing's memory, and it was likely to take him away.

"Come, learn from me, and keep the fire."

"This spell is very simple, but it can only be used by someone who is quite determined in heart, and it also requires some talent, I hope you have it, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"The flame never stops!" Brie pointed his wand on the door of Verr's head, and saw that the light around him was absorbed, and the whole room was quickly plunged into darkness, and finally the darkness was sucked in, and the light soon appeared, and it was the bronze snake lamp that came on.

The surroundings slowly returned to their original appearance, as if the light and darkness outside were filling the place.

"You, you're very talented, maybe you can fulfill that guy's wish and make a magic stone, no, no, no, you better not do it...... This will make you poor. ”

Philosopher's Stone ...... It sounds familiar, but that's okay, that's not the point of today.

"Hiss..."

“？”

Brie watched as Furl spat out the letter, the oil spilling out of its mouth and disappearing into the sky as a spark.

Verr said briskly: "Hiss, I haven't stuck out my tongue so wantonly for a long time." ”

Brie smiled and didn't speak, but took out the journal and looked at what was written on it—meditation.

That's what Brie is here for, and the Bronze Serpent - Verle and the East Tower are just windfalls.

"What are you looking at?"

Verr crawled to Brie's hand, looked at the words in the diary and said: "Oh, ancient magic, but it was extinct in that person's time, and there may be some circulation, but it is definitely not in the hands of wizards, because my wick is made of a green snake that knows a little ancient magic, and I was caught by the hateful guy before I had any wisdom at that time, otherwise I would have dominated the side after so many years...... Instead of being trapped in this tower, saving lamp oil in order to survive. ”

"I just want to meditate and try." Brie nodded at the little snake's head that suddenly fell into disgrace.

"Oh, no kidding, little Brie, these magic are out of your reach, hahaha, whimsical young hairy kid." Verr regained his vitality in an instant, rolling on the table with laughter, and spewing oil sparks.

Brie looked at Verr, trying to use the natural magic in his body that he had been hiding all along.

But when a trace of kind, ancient magic appeared on the tip of Brie's wand, Verr was immediately dumbfounded, swallowed the lamp oil, and looked directly at Brie and said, "You can't be some ancient purebred magical creature turned into, right?" ”

At the beginning, Verr did not control such a pure ancient power, except for the magical creatures that were so ancient that they had disappeared, Verr could not think of anyone who could cast such ancient magic, but it seemed to be a little different.

"Something is wrong, this is different from what I felt at the beginning, ancient magic is always free, it doesn't stay in one place forever, but he is very obedient to stay in your body, and he is so kind to you." Following the magic, Verr looked at Brie inquiringly, and sighed, "You are a monster, I have never seen a wizard like you. ”

"Monster ......"

Brie quickly put away his mana and looked at Verde, "Can I trust you?" ”

When Verr heard Brie's words, he said unhappily: "Of course, we have made an oath that I will protect you. ”
