Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 222 Guess
When Eisen and Dumbledore said goodbye to Nicolas Flamel, it was already afternoon.

I have to say that a conversation with Nicoléme greatly increased Eisen’s inspiration in alchemy.

Aisen has always thought highly of himself for his academic progress.After all, he is not only a time traveler, but also awakens the golden finger.

Therefore, Aisen has full confidence in both his own strength and his study of alchemy.

But this conversation with Nicoléme made him understand that although his alchemy skills were advanced enough, they were still far behind compared to a real master like Nicoléme.

Even now, unless Eisen brings some alchemical manuscripts into the dream world and studies them seriously for tens or hundreds of years.Otherwise, it is unlikely that his alchemy will surpass that of his opponent in one fell swoop.

Of course, there is no need for Eisen to worry about this.

After all, he didn't intend to really practice alchemy to the best level in the world.Anyway, after this visit and talking to Nicole May, Eisen felt that his alchemy skills were good enough.

You know, he has not forgotten that he initially decided to study alchemy in depth mainly to make various magic props to serve his golden fingers.

After returning to Hogwarts, Dumbledore continued to be busy with his own affairs. He also continued to look for the one among the Death Eaters who was most loyal to Voldemort.

As for Eisen himself, in addition to practicing magic spells every day, he continued to move books into his dream world in the library.Of course, in my spare time, I will also conduct further research on the Horcrux production method in "Advanced Black Magic" in the dream world.

Of course, because the flow of time in the dream world adjusts according to Eisen's own will, his research on the production of Horcruxes has been extremely long.

Therefore, if Aisen wanted to make a Horcrux, he would have been able to split his soul step by step and follow the process to make it.But obviously, this is not Eisen’s purpose.

His purpose was to find a way to make Horcruxes without splitting the soul, using a harmless and side-effect-free method.

However, despite having spent a long time in the dream world, Eisen's research progress is still extremely slow.

In addition, Eisen has made some progress in researching how to reduce human metabolism and maintain human vitality for a long time.He looked through many magic spells, and finally found some inspiration from the freezing spell and the petrification spell.

Of course, it is still far from true success.

……

The July sunshine, after passing through the clouds, shined into the room through the window and fell on the bookshelves.

There is no doubt that this is the Hogwarts library.

Aisen held a stack of newspapers in his hand, walked slowly, came to the window and sat down.

After arriving at the library, Eisen did not rush to flip through books to fill in the memory palace of his dream world as usual. Instead, he picked up the newspaper and read it quietly.

The newspaper was ordered by Hogwarts, and Eisen brought a copy on a whim today.

The headline of the front page article of the Daily Prophet seems to be full of comedy:
"A war of words between the Minister for Magic and the Director of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation"

"The old Barty Crouch, director of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation, was about to take the blame and resign because of the acquittal of Sirius Black some time ago, which led to a rapid decline in reputation..."

"...Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, in order to get rid of the incompetent label of the Ministry of Magic, urgently needs a 'scapegoat'. Therefore, Cornelius Fudge 'clapped his hands' for the resignation of Barty Crouch Sr. - "

"But, unfortunately, when the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures executed a dangerous Hippogriff, Cornelius Fudge, as a witness, made a big mistake, turning the Ministry of Magic into a joke again..."

"Barty Crouch Sr. claimed that Cornelius Fudge had made the same mistake as himself, and he used this method to excuse himself in order to preserve his position..."

"Cornelly Fudge said that Barty Crouch Sr. was a cunning and insidious conspirator. All this was his conspiracy. He deliberately let the hippogriff go..."

At a cursory glance, Eisen called him a good guy.

On the one hand, Eisen is surprised that Barty Crouch Sr. hasn't been ousted.On the other hand, he was speechless that Fudge put the blame for Buckbeak's escape on Barty Crouch Sr.

"However, it's been a while since this happened. When did this war of words start?" After understanding the general story of the incident, Aisen couldn't help but shook his head.

Opening the newspaper, Eisen saw the Daily Prophet's report on the 422nd Quidditch World Cup on the second page.

The elimination rounds of this Quidditch World Cup will begin in July, and the competition will last for one month, with two teams finally decided, and the final will be held on August 7.

Of course, Eisen himself is not very interested in which team can successfully enter the finals.After all, as a time traveler, I really don’t have that sense of immersion.

However, what makes Eisen feel strange is the number of Quidditch World Cups held.As clearly stated above, this Quidditch World Cup is already the 422nd competition.

However, the Quidditch World Cup is held every four years.

According to this calculation, if we continue to push forward in time, we will find that the first Quidditch World Cup was held in 116 BC.

But what is more outrageous is that the flying broomstick was only born around the tenth century AD.Moreover, the broomsticks at that time were all produced by wizards for their own use. Not only were they of very poor quality, they were extremely uncomfortable to sit on.

This is where the problem arises.

Since the birth of the broomstick was around the tenth century AD, it is impossible for the Quidditch World Cup to appear before the birth of the broomstick.

So, what is the truth of the matter?Aisen's eyes flashed with deep doubts.After all, such an obvious loophole is really outrageous.

After thinking for a long time, Eisen couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

After tapping lightly on the table, Aisen folded the newspaper.Then, as if he thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"To explain all this, unless-" Eisen murmured, and suddenly thought of a possibility, which actually made his scalp feel numb for an instant.

After taking a deep breath, Aisen suddenly had no intention of reading in the library.When God's perspective opened, Eisen saw Dumbledore in the principal's office.

Leaving the library, Eisen came directly to the door of Dumbledore's office through phantom.

When he was about to go in, Aisen stopped.

"Just ask it so directly?" Eisen hesitated, "Well, let's find a question first as an entry point."

Afterwards, Eisen started pacing in the corridor.

After a while, Aisen's eyes lit up and he thought of a perfect excuse.

Without hesitation at the moment, he entered the office after passing the password.

After entering the office, Eisen noticed that Dumbledore happened to come out of the cubicle on the side.I think he came out because he found Aisen entering the office.

"Professor Eisen, do you want to come to me this old man early in the morning?" Dumbledore stretched and pretended to move his body.

"Yes, that's right!" Eisen nodded, hesitated for a moment and said directly, "I have a question for you!"

"Okay, if you have any questions, please ask-" Dumbledore stared, and then motioned for Eisen to continue.

"A question about the Loyalty Curse." Eisen raised his eyebrows slightly, "The place where Nicolas lived was cast with the Loyalty Curse. You must be very familiar with this spell, right?"

"Yes, this spell is very powerful, very complex, and has miraculous effects in hiding whereabouts." Dumbledore's tone was quite calm, but he still looked at Eisen in confusion.

"Yes, I have learned that the Red Loyalty Charm can be used to keep something or something secret. The confidential information will be hidden deep in the soul of the keeper." Eisen said, his eyes flickering, "And this kind of confidentiality To such an extent, unless the secret keeper takes the initiative to leak the secret, no one else can succeed using any magical means."

"You are right. Even the Unforgivable Curse such as the Soul Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse cannot bypass the Loyalty Curse!" Dumbledore nodded and said, "But once the secret keeper dies, the person who knows the secret will automatically become New Secret Keeper.”
