Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 249 An Encounter by the Aegean Sea

The Dark Lord is suspicious, and his previous experience made him not easily give others his trust.

Before Ike, perhaps there were only three people who gained his trust: Barty Jr., Bella, and Snape.Now, Ike is the fourth, and possibly the most special of them all.

But no matter what, Ike got a way to become stronger from Lao Fu, which is also the road of root-seeking that Lao Fu said, aiming to pursue the most essential form of magic.

Athens, is the first stop.

During the years when Lao Fu traveled around the world, he collected many historical secrets and legends, and after careful analysis, he personally verified them one by one.Obviously, he got a lot.

But there are also unsuccessful ones, and this miraculous olive tree on the Acropolis is one of them.At that time, his mastery of magic was not as good as Ike's now, but he just surpassed those weird black magic by a head.

And that kind of magic is not enough to allow him to pass through the guarding power that has continued since unknown time.

After sleeping peacefully in the hotel, after breakfast the next day, Ike went to the Acropolis like an ordinary tourist.After arriving, he naturally mixed into a tour group and fell at the end. He started touring while listening to the tour guide's explanation.

Go through the mountain gate and take a tour all the way, looking at the once majestic temples, the only remaining ruins of the building, until the Parthenon, stop in front of this most prestigious building and take pictures, and praise the ancient times with your peers The miracle of Athens.

There are older people in the tour group, who are a little tired after visiting several ruins, so they simply rest in place.There were a lot of people resting, and it wasn't just this tour group, there were dozens of people after careful calculation.

Ike quietly leaned against a boulder, took a sip of water from a bottle, and was no different from others.After resting enough, each tour group continued to move forward under the call of the tour guide.

There are still many scenic spots in the Acropolis, and even if you walk for a day, you can only go around those well-known places.

Almost no one will choose to come back the next day because there are still some places that have not been transferred, and for the vast majority of people, this is the only visit to the Acropolis in their life, and they will never come to this place again in this life.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the tour group that Ike had mixed in with did not leave the Acropolis.People are happy, and the film consumption is a good testament to that.

Ike was also satisfied, especially when he found out that the white-bearded old man who had sneaked in with him disappeared unknowingly.

Thanks to his powerful control over magic power, he can almost ignore most magic power detection methods.It is impossible for those guards to find out without using some ancient and strange methods.

Obviously, the white-bearded old man who sneaked into the tour group like him did not have such means.

Quietly left the tour group, strolling in the streets.It seemed to be walking slowly, but it didn't take long for Ike to come to the beach.The blue roof of the white house and the color of the sea reflect each other, and the sun shines down, dazzling and brilliant.

Of course, if you want to enjoy this beauty, you need to ignore the noisy crowd around you and the dirty parts of the street.

Also, ignore an old man with a white beard who suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's not the time yet. When the sun sets, that's the most beautiful scenery that makes people calm down unconsciously."

Dumbledore stood quietly next to Ike, wearing a gray robe and gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.There were people coming and going around, but no one noticed him. In their eyes, there was only one handsome young guy here.

"Last night was very lively. The Greek Ministry of Magic was in a mess. A group of old guys tied the minister directly to the Acropolis, and then the entire Greek magic world was shaken." Dumbledore looked at the sea and said, "Not only that, They brought this matter to the International Federation of Wizards..."

"So?" Ike said softly.

"So?" Dumbledore smiled and said, "So many old guys like me came to Athens today, because we all know exactly what was lost in the Acropolis last night."

Ike nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It seems that it is indeed a very precious thing."

"That's right..." Dumbledore sighed, "It is said that the goddess of wisdom gave the treasure to the Athenians. Its fruit can give people extraordinary power..."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore suddenly smiled: "There are many mysteries in the world that even I cannot know, but this so-called fruit that can make people extraordinary is not among them."

"Olive fruit? Wisdom fruit? It's just a name, but it is indeed a thing of great benefit to wizards."

"You came here just to tell a story?" Ike interrupted Dumbledore, who was still about to say something, and looked a little impatient.

But Dumbledore smiled again, waved his hands, and said, "It's just an old guy's ramblings, maybe it can be called a suggestion..."

"What advice?" Ike asked.

"If your next stop is Istanbul, I think you can give up." Dumbledore said with a smile, "You should go directly to Baghdad, to the banks of the Tigris River. If you are lucky, you may find another possibility there. Let an old guy like me toss something again."

"You know what I'm going to do?"

"Of course, the path of finding roots, the path of pilgrimage, the path of magic, whatever you want to call it, this is the travel route of many wizards, and it can also be called the treasure hunt route." Dumbledore pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said .

"Decades ago, I walked this road with a man, then Tom walked this road, and now it's you."

"Although I have long thought that you will set foot on this road one day, I never thought it would be now." Dumbledore sighed, "You may be the youngest walker ever..."

After a pause, Dumbledore continued: "Don't think too much, the reason why I advise you not to go to Istanbul is because Tom has taken away the last miraculous thing there, and what is left now is just a delicate fake. .”

"And in my opinion, even if that thing still exists, it won't be of great help to you."

"Your soul is the most difficult thing I have ever seen to break through."

"So, are you admitting that you once wanted to peek into my brain?" Ike also had a bright smile on his face.

"Yes, I admit, I did." Dumbledore admitted without hesitation, "After all, no little wizard has ever done what you did in the first year."

"I have to promise that you will not go astray."

"What about now?" Ike asked.

"Now?"

"Now, you are on the right path..."
