In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 214 212. The Beauty of Nature

The whole tower is indeed huge.

According to Rabiel's introduction to Neville and the others, the living room they were in was located on the 52nd floor, and the entire tower had 77 floors in total, and each floor was about 4 to 5 meters high.

In other words, if the traceless stretching spell was not used to expand the height of the storey, then the part of this tower above the sea must be at least 300 meters.

Of course, there are not many buildings over 300 meters on land, but there must be many, but you need to know whether this tower is built on the sea or deep in the Norwegian Sea.

People who know a little about architecture understand that it is basically impossible to lay the foundation for a 300-meter-high tower in such an environment.

But in the wizarding world, there is always magic to solve these problems.

The task that Jon left for Neville and the others was not too dangerous. He simply asked them to go through the general rooms of the tower as much as possible to see if there was anything wrong with it. .

Unlike the situation in Azkaban, when he landed on the island before, Nick had already conducted a part of the exploration of that prison, and had a clear goal.

But this place they came to this time, it can be said that they don't know anything about it. They need to find out what Voldemort did when he stayed here.

Neville and the others walked around the lower floors a few times, and saw the self-sufficient vegetable garden and pasture that Sir Stoke had introduced to them during breakfast.On the 36th floor, there is also a study room full of books.

Rabiel did not stop them from looking through the books in the study room, but there are basically some magic books related to astronomy, and there is nothing more to gain from others.

Only when she was in the study, Luna found another black cat nestled on the bookcase.

"When did this cat come in front of us?" Ron asked strangely.

Luna said softly.

"It's not the one we saw before."

Ron opened his eyes and observed the lazy, motionless black cat for a long time, but couldn't tell the difference.

"What evidence do you have to prove it?"

"This one's beard is only as long as my thumb." Luna pointed her thumbs up and said solemnly, "but the beard we saw before is about the same length as my index finger."

Ron looked at Luna strangely.

He had heard about this girl called "crazy girl" for a long time. His younger sister shared the same dormitory with her, and they had a very good relationship, but Ron didn't expect her to be so strange.

Who in their right mind would care so much about the length of the whiskers on a cat they meet for the first time?

Rabiel, who was following them, heard the conversation, and it explained neither humble nor overbearing.

"The owner originally raised two black cats, but they were ordinary cats, without the bloodline of cats and lilies, so they had died long ago. Those who are still living in the tower are their descendants, but how many are there? , this has not been investigated yet.”

Hermione was a little surprised why Luna was so interested in the black cat she saw today.

"Would you really like to have a cat?"

Luna shook her head, she only said one sentence that was somewhat unpredictable.

"I find unique animals interesting."

After Sir Stoke took Jon out of the drawing room, he stepped directly on the self-moving stairs and kept going up.

They soon came to the top of the entire tower.

"This tower didn't have a name before. After I came here and lived here, I named it [Starr]."

The word "star" used in the surname of a person's name is called "Starr", so if this tower is translated from its own meaning, it can be called "Star Tower".

From the way he named it, it can be seen that Sir Stoke did not lie about his interest in studying astronomy. He did have an extraordinary interest in the starry sky above his head.

He guided Jon to a wooden door on the top floor.

"This is the best place to observe the sky, and it is also the place where I usually stay the most."

They walked in, and inside was a small circular room, which was only 13 or 4 square meters at most, surrounded by a circle of bookshelves, and literature notes and books were neatly placed on it.

There is also a set of tables and chairs in the center of the room, and there are a lot of parchments full of star maps on the table. Bill is hardworking enough.

Next to the table and chairs is a wooden ladder leading to the ceiling, and directly above the ladder is a trapdoor.

Sir Stoke invited Jon to climb up the wooden ladder together, then pushed open the trap door and came to the top terrace of the tower.

It's freezing in here.

After walking up, Jon subconsciously wrapped the thick robe that Sir Stoke had reminded him to put on before going upstairs.

The deep sea, close to the North Pole, and a high enough altitude, these simply gather all the cold elements.

The surrounding wind should also be strong, but obviously the same wind protection magic as on the broomstick has been applied here, so that the cold is barely so stinging.

Similarly, what can be clearly felt along with the cold is the indescribable scenery.

Obviously, this kind of open space cannot be used with the traceless stretching spell, so the space is very small, only seven or eight square meters at most, and there is a lot of space occupied by something like an astronomical telescope.

At the moment when he came up suddenly, Jon could feel the refreshment of the wide field of vision.

The sky and the sea have been connected into a line, both are blue, just looking at it can make people feel comfortable.

On the surface of the sea in the distance, from time to time, the thick and long body of a sea snake undulates from the sea water, and vaguely, it seems that several ant-sized mermaids are jointly hunting an unknown marine creature on the water surface .

The Hogwarts was docked next to the tower, and from Jon's current perspective, it was as big as a model.

Jon keenly noticed that after coming here, Sir Stoke's emotions became a lot more undisguised.

He opened his arms, squinted his eyes to face the softened sea breeze, his silver-gray hair fluttered openly, and the hem of his well-fitting windbreaker fluttered with the wind.

"There are endless mysteries and knowledge in the wizarding world, but sometimes it's not just magic that's wonderful, isn't it, Professor Johnson?"

Jon glanced inexplicably at the old man in front of him, who was obviously from a pure-blood wizard family but was called a Muggle noble title, and nodded in agreement.

"The beauty of nature is indeed fascinating."
