Chapter 4076 4078 [House of Requests]

After the spells class ended, the students got up and left.

"Professor, if I want to learn the characters of ancient times, I wonder which books I should read?" Xiang Nan stayed and asked Professor Flitwick.

The characters in ancient times were created by wizards and have magical powers. The spells used by wizards today are created based on these characters.

They are equivalent to the C language of computers. If Xiang Nan wants to program, he must first lay a solid foundation and learn these ancient characters.

"You can read books such as 'Ancient Rune Simple Introduction', 'Dictionary of Rune', 'Magic Pronunciation Table', and 'Secrets of Ancient Rune'," Professor Flitwick explained.

"Thank you, professor." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

"You're welcome." Professor Flitwick waved his hand and smiled. "There are fewer and fewer students who are interested in ancient runes. I'm glad you're interested in it."

Ancient magic is difficult and abstruse, and it is a very profound subject. Usually, third-year students will take this course, but not many people take it.

Everyone was more willing to choose Divination, Muggle Studies and Care of Magical Creatures. But Flitwick, the professor of Charms, knew that ancient magic was the foundation of all magic, and it needed to be valued and learned, so he was very happy to see Xiang Nan's interest in ancient magic.

……

Xiang Nan then walked out of the classroom and was about to go to the library to borrow the books recommended by Professor Flitwick.

As he turned the corner, a fist suddenly hit him.

Xiang Nan didn't even try to hide and continued walking forward.

A fist hit him, but Xiang Nan didn't move at all. However, the owner of the fist was hit back, and he was bounced up and fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

It was the Slytherin student Best Mulciber.

He wanted to launch a sneak attack on Xiang Nan, but was rebounded by Xiang Nan's protective Qi.

"Ah, ah, my hand is broken!" Best screamed, covering his hand. In fact, it was not that serious, it was just dislocated.

Samuel Parkinson looked on in horror, not knowing for a moment whether to go forward and beat Xiang Nan or to treat Best first.

"Ha~" Xiang Nan saw this and yelled at him.

Samuel suddenly lost all his courage and turned and ran away in fear, not even bothering to save his companions.

When Best saw that he was the only one left, his face immediately turned pale.

"If you dare to provoke me again next time, your hand will not be dislocated, but really broken." Xiang Nan walked forward, grabbed his right hand, shook it gently, and with a click, Best's hand was connected.

Xiang Nan then turned and left.

It was just a small conflict between little kids. He didn't want to kill them, just teach them a lesson.

Best held his hands and looked at Xiang Nan, not knowing whether to continue to be angry or to thank him.

……

After Xiang Nan left, he went straight to the library to borrow books on ancient magic recommended by Professor Flitwick. He found that these magic books were indeed unpopular in the library, and basically no one wanted to borrow them.

In comparison, the most popular books are entertainment books, such as "The Origins of Quidditch", "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", "Twelve Magical Tricks to Charm Witches", "The Adventures of Martin Miggs - A Mad Muggle", etc.

But this was exactly what Xiang Nan wanted, as it allowed him to borrow books more conveniently without having to worry about competing with others for them.

Xiang Nan stayed there until six o'clock in the afternoon. While the students were eating in the cafeteria, he quickly ran to the eighth floor of Hogwarts, opposite the huge tapestry of "The Troll Beats the Fool Barnabas".

After making sure there was no one around, he concentrated and thought, "I need a place to hide something," and then walked across the wall three times.

Finally, when he walked through it for the third time, a door appeared out of nowhere on the wall. Xiang Nan immediately pushed the door open and entered. He was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, "Wow~"

In front of me was a room as big as a cathedral, filled with all kinds of sundries, all of which were collections of Hogwarts over the past thousand years.

There were broken furniture, dried-up potions, rusted swords, old jewelry, ancient books, and so much more. It looked like a huge garbage dump.

But in fact, even if it is garbage, as long as it reaches a certain age, it is priceless. For example, the ash pits that archaeologists like most are ancient garbage dumps, which are important materials for studying the economic life of ancient people.

Many of the collections in the Request-Granting Room have a history of more than a thousand years. They may not have been worth much back then, but they may be worth a fortune now. Of course, Xiang Nan's goal is not money, but something more valuable than money.

He then opened his purse and put all the books in the Book of Requirement into his purse.

There is a reason why these books are hidden in the Room of Requirement. Many of them are banned and not suitable for students to read.

They number in the tens of thousands and contain powerful magical knowledge.

In order to fit these books, Xiang Nan even used the traceless extension spell to greatly expand the size of his wallet. Now the space in his wallet is as big as a basketball court.

"Books are flying here~" He opened the mouth of his wallet and chanted a summoning spell. All of a sudden, thousands of books in the room flew into the air and rushed towards Xiang Nan.

He stretched the wallet open with all his strength, and the books rushed into the wallet like birds flying into the forest. It took a full fifteen minutes before all the books were put into the wallet.

The magic power in Xiang Nan's body was almost exhausted, but looking at the thousands of books inside, he still felt a great satisfaction for a moment.

Then, he waved his wand again, "Come here on the broomstick~"

A flying broom immediately whizzed through the debris and flew in front of him. Xiang Nan raised his leg and stepped on it, then gently pushed off the ground and slowly flew up.

Then, Xiang Nan rode on his flying broom and searched the Room of Requirement. He had to find a specimen of a troll first, and then a cabinet with bubbles on the surface, as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid, and use this as the coordinate to find the Ravenclaw crown.

It is said that the crown of Ravenclaw can increase the wisdom of the wearer. Rowena Ravenclaw became the most successful witch at that time with this crown.

Later, the crown was stolen by Ravenclaw's daughter Helena and hidden in a tree hole on the border of Albania. Helena hoped to surpass her mother and become a successful and famous witch.

Rowena Ravenclaw concealed the news and sent the Bloody Baron to retrieve her daughter. However, Helena refused to go back and was killed by the Baron, who then committed suicide. After their death, the two returned to Hogwarts as ghosts.

When Voldemort was young, he used sweet words to bewitch Rowena and learned the location of the Ravenclaw Diadem. He then went to Albania to retrieve the diadem and turned it into his own Horcrux.

In order to protect its safety, he hid it in the Room of Requirement. In his opinion, no one knew about this room except him, not even Dumbledore, so the Horcrux was hidden here, and it was safe.

But Xiang Nan had read the original novel, so Voldemort was destined to be in trouble.
