Chapter 522: Acquaintances
"Morgan has a pride in his bones."
Char was sitting in a chair at a table in front of the dessert station inside the library, and sitting across from him was Tony Stark.
On the table between them were desserts.
From them, they could see Darniere and Morgan on the open platform, but obviously, they couldn't see Char and Stark.
But apparently, the conversation between the two of them was in the ears of Morgan's worried old father.
Stark raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It's exactly the same as when I was younger." However, she does have this ability, and the arrogance of a capable person is called self-confidence, isn't it? ”
Char shrugged his shoulders in dismay, picked up the vanilla ice cream on one side, scooped it up, and put it in his mouth.
He quickly finished the dessert in front of him, and then slowly got up from his seat, "Let's go, let's go back to the research institute." ”
Tony also stood up with him, walking through the rows of bookshelves and standing on the elevator placed in the middle.
They stood up the elevator, a circular magic disc to be exact, and as they stood on it, the lines on the disc were gradually lit up, and they slowly rose to the ground.
Following the bluestone path inside Hogwarts, they gradually walked towards the research institute, and they always encountered students running along the way.
The learning system at Hogwarts is very similar to that of a university, in addition to some compulsory courses, there is a lot of time for compulsory courses, but not all students will spend all their time on compulsory courses, so this time naturally belongs to them.
Char and Tony were both using disguised faces at the moment, but the students on the road still greeted them very politely, and Char smiled and nodded in response.
"Looking at these students, sometimes it's really a bit of a trance." Tony began, "It always feels like this school was just a recent time ago. ”
He looked at the corner of one of the spires, where there was moss left by the years, "In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed, and time flies so fast." ”
"Time is relative, isn't it?" Char said.
"Relativity, huh?" Tony teased.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the students, "But it is also true that the years of doing research and teaching here have been the happiest for me, and they have had a completely different experience in another world.
Tony Stark, Stark Group, genius, Iron Man, every title and title seems to push me forward, but here, I can calm down. ”
"I thought you were the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight." Char laughed.
Tony shrugged, "Just because you like to be in the limelight doesn't mean there's no pressure behind you, does it?" ”
"That's right." Char nodded.
"It's still very rewarding to watch this school grow bigger and bigger, and to see the number of people in the wizarding world grow little by little." Tony sighed.
After a pause, Tony muttered in a low voice, "I just don't know if they'll be able to get through that period." ”
"You don't look worried." Char said.
"People who have experienced an apocalypse will naturally be a little more calm." Tony said, "Do what you have to do and do the rest"
He looked at Char, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable brilliance, "Leave it to fate"
"You seem to be taking that student named Daniele very seriously." Tony spoke on the side, "I've investigated his information, he has encountered a dragon before, and he accidentally sprinkled dragon blood, and his body has been transformed by a certain amount of magic, and his talent is better than that of ordinary people." Among the current generation of magicians, he is the most likely to enter the Academy. But there are actually quite a few students in graduate school who have such talents, and this is not a reason to pay attention. ”
They have already entered the confines of the Academy, which has only recently been built, but it still continues the Hogwarts architectural style, making the overall castle complex look less abrupt.
But even so, the place was still carefully designed, and now they were walking on a long corridor, and in the courtyard outside the corridor was planted a hundred-year-old ginkgo, its leaves were all yellow, and the fallen leaves were scattered all over the ground.
Ginkgo biloba is surrounded by two semi-curved corridors, each supported by tall round stone pillars with many lifelike statues.
In the future, Hogwarts will continue to expand around here.
Dumbledore intended to establish several branch campuses on the Isle of Skye, which would be expanded from the House into a school.
His ultimate plan is to connect with the magic town and build its own urban system on the Isle of Skye, such as law enforcement, administrative system, research institutes, hospitals, public transportation, agriculture and animal husbandry, etc., but the majority of the population will be composed of students and core researchers.
If necessary, this city in the sky can also become the last bastion of humanity.
Dumbledore's ambitions are great, but it is undeniable that the current Isle of Skye actually has this condition.
Tony's newly built energy device can provide energy perfectly, with energy in fact, all problems can be solved, the power of technology is very powerful, the power of magic is very magical.
The combination of technology and magic can do many incredible things.
Truth be told, Char was looking forward to what Dumbledore's planned city would look like when it finally took shape.
Soon, they were confronted by a graduate student. It was a very delicate-looking girl.
She looked to be in her twenties, fair-skinned, her eyes were smart, and the most peculiar thing was that she had a pair of pointed and long ears, like elves, but her ears were a little short compared to real elves.
She was wearing a white magic robe and holding a large number of documents in her arms, she obviously recognized Char and Tony, and she was a little nervous, and when she came to them, she solemnly saluted them.
"Lord Merlin, Professor Stark."
"Where are you going?" Stark asked.
"Professor Catherine asked me to hand over something to Professor Moeller."
Mole is Zangzas.
Stark nodded, "Go ahead." ”
The girl bowed to him again, and then slowly retreated.
The girl's name is Leah.
As Tony said, although drenching the dragon blood of a newly dead dragon is a rare event, it is nothing compared to the wizarding world that has been expanding in this world for more than a hundred years.
For example, this Leah, who is a half-elf, the child of a human magician and an elf.
Elves are not in favor of union with humans.
Part of it is because of their own arrogance, and part of it is mainly due to the gap in life forms, and the end result will only be a tragedy.
But love is the sinking of free will, and rational love is not love.
The fairy town and the wizarding world have been communicating for many years, and it is not uncommon for elves to fall in love with humans, but many of them have been separated due to the gap between races, and few have given birth to children.
The elven world did not accept the child, and even took the child's mother away.
It was Dumbledore himself who spoke to the Queen of Tetania to bring the child's mother back, but the elves no longer recognized her identity.
Her father was a teacher at Hogwarts, so she lived at Hogwarts since she was a child.
She has the blood of a magical creature, not to mention talent, and her magical power alone is far beyond that of ordinary people.
And because she has the power of elves, who come from the Nibelungen of Norse mythology, they have a high talent for the original Rune.
In addition, there are even two graduate students of magic who have made a pact with demons under the command of Zangzas.
This is the second type of mage mentioned earlier, that is, the state of Char after inheriting Howl's fate.
The same is true of the Wild Witches, the fateful enemies of fate, who have made a pact with the Fire Demon.
Signing some kind of equal life-sharing contract with magical creatures and sharing magic at the same time is different from master-servant contracts, because only this sharing contract can share magic.
Arrogant demons don't usually make such a pact with humans, so it's a very unusual thing.
However, there is still a big risk that if you are not careful, you can easily be controlled by the demon like the Witch of the Wilderness.
"You haven't answered my question yet?" Tony asked.
Char smiled, he looked at the ginkgo planted in the yard, and looked at the fallen leaves in that place, "These fallen leaves fall from the branches, and eventually they will become the nutrients of this tree, and they will become tender green leaves again through a cycle of life, and repeat all this."
This is the circle of life.
And the human soul actually follows this principle in a sense. ”
Char's answer was a little incorrect, but Tony understood what Char was trying to say, and he turned his head to look at the tree and muttered in a low voice.
"So, that's someone you used to know?"
