Chapter 49: The original author of "The Metamorphosis of the Human Body".
Time passed slowly.
One morning and one afternoon, Connor never left the room in the library except for the necessary needs like going to the toilet, and spent almost the entire day wrestling with the enchanted Transfiguration.
Even, there is nothing in the whole book, no matter which page you turn to, it is basically that series of questions.
From abstract questions like 'do rocks have life?' to the shape of things, to the structure of the human body, this strange book of magic always asks all sorts of questions.
It's also a shame that this thing is a professional counterpart for Connor, and these problems are basically difficult for Connor.
Although he does not guarantee that his answer will always be the correct answer, the book does not find any mistakes in the end.
And when he finally got the book done, it was finally no longer a problem.
"So, what's the problem?"
Looking at the blank pages, Connor spoke.
[No, you do have an incomparably deep understanding of Transfiguration]
"So, what about the knowledge that is recorded in your books?"
[Before reading, please promise that you will never share this knowledge with wizards who are not skilled enough, and you will never abuse it wantonly to create a tragedy like the five-legged monster again]
"I can promise that."
[Words contain magic, words will be burned on the world, please sign your name here]
Then, the book "Transfiguration" turned back to the first page, and unlike the questionable blank space that Connor had seen before, it was densely packed with names.
And the first four names simply blinded Connor's eyes.
Godric Gryffindor.
Salazar Slytherin.
Rowena Ravenclaw.
Helga Hufflepuff
Reading the names that were definitely familiar to him at Hogwarts, Connor couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"You look like a magic book from a thousand years ago?"
[Yes, I am the product of the joint creation of four wizards, and it is also an attempt to teach]
As for what the teaching attempt was, Connor already understood.
[They have teamed up to seal the contents of the book so that only those with a certain amount of expertise can read it]
This is actually a very normal thing, when the four wizards joined forces to found the school, everything was just starting, and even the school's teaching philosophy was being explored, so naturally everything needed to be tried.
Merely......
"You look like it's going to be a way that's been phased out? After all, it is only suitable for educating those who specialize in this area, and geniuses do not need to teach, but only need to accumulate experience. ”
[Hey, you're not very old, and you're really scathing when you speak]
It's almost pointing at the nose of the book and scolding.
"It's been almost a whole day, after all."
Glancing back at the oil lamp he had lit, and then at the dark, enclosed room around him, Connor finally turned his gaze to the Hogwarts window.
The night is bright, and the bright moonlight illuminates the whole school, revealing a kind of illusionary beauty.
"When I think about it, I don't think I've eaten much...... Seriously, if every book like yours took me that long, I can't imagine what it would be like to be fully rolled out. ”
[Didn't you say it was fun to talk to me? Not to mention, I don't think I can be blamed for this, purely because you're too young. 】
The words appeared on the book, and the impatient handwriting looked obviously unpleasant.
[The last student as young as you was at least a hundred years ago, and he is now the principal of this school, I have to test you to see if you really have this qualification, right?] 】
Hearing this, Connor was stunned, and he quickly flipped through the book.
Many wizards must have read this book over the millennium, and in addition to the four founders of the school, there are others.
Connor glanced at it casually, and in the sequence of names that came to the back, he found the familiar name, which was juxtaposed with another name of the same surname:
Albus Dumbledore
Aberforth Dumbledore
Those two names are just there, showing a strong sense of presence.
"Headmaster...... Speaking of which, the approval slip I have in this library was given by the principal. ”
Connor muttered.
"Anyway, that's the name here, isn't it?"
After writing down his name, Connor glanced back at the dense crowd of names.
After the names of Headmaster Dumbledore and his brother, Connor found several more names that were familiar to him:
Minerva McGonagall.
This is the Head of Gryffindor, and the current Transfiguration Teacher.
James Potter.
Cyris Black.
Peter Pedirou.
"Good guy, there is still an unexpected ......"
Connor's eyelids jumped when he saw those three names.
And below Peter's name, there is another name:
Isobel Morag
The name couldn't help but give Connado a second look.
What do you see? 】
"One of the students you taught murdered some of his friends."
Connor said casually.
The books were silent.
[Maybe I should set up a moral test in the future?] 】
"It's useless,"
Without any mercy, Connor simply dispelled the idea completely.
"Morality is the most untested thing, no one can guarantee that a person will never change, careerists may put themselves on the shelf and never touch the bottom line, and once brave people will become cowardly in the face of certain things...... That's what it is. ”
[You are not very old, but you have a lot of feelings...... Are you really only 11 years old? 】
"The real 11-year-old, rather, in the eyes of the ancient wizards, 11-year-old is actually an existence that can be taken charge of itself, right?"
[That's the same...... Just like the original author of this book]
"The original author's ......"
Connor furrowed a frown.
"So, the author of this book is ......"
[Return to the cover to see]
Connor closed the book again, and the title of "Transfiguration" was still there, but a few lines appeared underneath.
Original author: Merlin Ambrosius
Compilers: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff.
"I guess it's Merlin's magic notebook or something, and then recompiled into a textbook by four great wizards, right?"
However, the book itself has never been unresponsive.
"The Metamorphosis of the Human Body" has no response like an ordinary book, even the previously signed pages have disappeared, and the first page at the beginning is a title:
Guide Your Wildness
"Find an animal that fits you...... Well, Animagus related content. ”
After a cursory glance, Connor closed the book.
"I'll see later, I'll see later."
He placed the book back on the table, but the next moment, the book opened on its own, and a large question mark appeared on the front page.
【? 】
But Connor didn't pay any more attention to it, he just tapped the corner of the table with his wand.
"Ah, what does the little Hufflepuff wizard need to do with wheat cakes?"
House-elves appear.
"A glass...... Juice it, and then something to fill your stomach, whatever you want, and if you come back and find me out, just put it on the table. ”
"Ah, okay, please wait!"
