Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#186 - Book Collection Room (Seeking monthly subscription and recommendation tickets)
On the left side of the corridor were rows of bookshelves over two meters high, filled with books. Three-sided bookshelves lined up, with at least a dozen rows at a glance, which meant there must be dozens of bookshelves. Reading M
“Are all of Travers's books in here? We agreed, you can't hoard or transfer any secretly, okay?” Anduin glanced at Yulia and smiled.
“Don't worry, we swore an oath. We know what the consequences of deceiving you are.” Yulia snorted, then pointed with her chin, “I transferred the library and the family's other collections here, piled up on those long tables, didn't you see?”
Indeed, as he saw, besides the bookshelves on the side, stacks of books were piled up on the desks, obviously moved from other places.
“Where are Slytherin's manuscripts?” Anduin asked, tilting his head.
“They're in the wooden box on the first table. As we agreed, these manuscripts are worth 5 books.” Yulia raised her hand and pointed to the long table in front of her, then confirmed.
“Okay, as long as you guarantee that this is everything, and there are no other manuscripts hidden away, I'll keep my word.” Anduin nodded affirmatively.
“Also, as we agreed, once any book in this library is copied, there's no going back, and the original manuscripts must not be damaged. Once you've copied 300 books, or damaged any books, the transaction is considered over, and you can't copy any other books. And the selection time is within 24 hours from now. After that time, don't blame me for kicking you out.” Yulia said in a deep voice.
“Oh, it seems there's something amazing hidden in this library, making you so nervous.” Anduin looked at Yulia with a teasing smile.
“Hmph.”
Stung by Anduin's words, Yulia couldn't help but snort. Indeed, because of the oath, she had to display all the books, but she had disguised the truly good things, as well as 'that' treasure passed down by the Travers family.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel more at ease. Even with the eyes of a professional scholar, it wouldn't be possible to find it in such a short time, plus she had stored other precious books as a smokescreen, so it should be quite safe.
Ignoring Yulia's dark face, Anduin took the lead and walked to the box containing Slytherin's manuscripts.
After opening the wooden box, a very old-looking book lay quietly inside. The paper was completely yellowed, and some pages had fallen out due to the age.
There were indeed a few scattered parchments next to the book, as well as two rolls of bundled manuscripts.
Yulia, who was on the side, wasn't looking at Anduin, who was quietly checking the materials, but instead walked to the sofa and sat down elegantly. Look, look, if you get addicted to it, you might ignore the treasures hidden in the library.
Anduin didn't know what Yulia was thinking, but he was really in a good mood now. He took the lead and opened the bound book, checking the contents.
“This is? Slytherin's research notes, containing a large number of dark magic and bloodline magic.” Anduin's brows relaxed, almost unable to suppress the joy and excitement in his heart.
But he restrained the urge to read it carefully, and quickly took out parchment from his space bag, quickly copying the contents of the notes. Now is not the time to study carefully.
Adjusting his emotions, he returned to his calm state and checked the two scrolls of manuscripts. One of them was actually the rune formula for the 'Slytherin Mental Protection Charm', but many of the words on it were incomplete, and a small part of the rune lines were also missing.
“Hmm? Did Yulia deliberately destroy these contents so that I couldn't get the complete material? No, if that were the case, why wouldn't she destroy the notebook? And I'm just copying it, she wouldn't be so self-destructive, the original manuscript should have been incomplete.”
“But where did Torgil's protection charm in his brain come from? Did the ancestors of the Travers family repair it completely and record it elsewhere? That should be the case. Torgil said that Yulia used a magic book to cast the spell on him, it seems that the magic book is the key.”
Anduin had a judgment in his mind, but even the incomplete information was valuable, and he carefully copied it. After putting away this manuscript, he opened another rolled-up manuscript.
“Fear Technique?” Anduin was dumbfounded looking at the introduction on the manuscript. This manuscript was complete, which confirmed his guess, but the content recorded on it still surprised him.
“There's actually this kind of magic? After using it, you can release mental waves to the surrounding area at any time, triggering the fear in the hearts of the surrounding creatures.”
“And like the mental protection charm, it's a mind-based spell. Plus, with the rumors that Slytherin is good at Occlumency and Legilimency, it seems that Slytherin himself has a deep understanding of mind magic.”
Without hesitation, Anduin quickly copied this manuscript. As someone who has a lot of research on combat tactics, this magic is much more practical than the mental protection charm, and these two magics are simply complementary, one for offense and one for defense.
Just looking at these copied materials, this trip is worth it.
But the next thing is the highlight. He took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts of constantly thinking about Slytherin's manuscripts in his mind, and then checked the other books on the table.
With Anduin's experience, he is a regular visitor to the Hogwarts library and restricted section, and ordinary magic books basically don't catch his eye. Moreover, he had this plan before the summer vacation.
So although he didn't finish reading all the books in the school library, he copied all the book names in advance.
Now, the first thing to do is to eliminate all the parts that overlap with books sold on the market and books stored in Hogwarts, and then filter out what he needs from the remaining books.
Because of the oath, Yulia cannot hide the books, but if she disguises those important collections as ordinary books, it will still be a bit troublesome, so he still has to look at each one.
Soon, Anduin neatly identified these high stacks of books. Most of them were common books, and he basically grabbed one and flipped through it before putting it down, no matter how attractive the contents of these books were.
Under his rapid inspection, this pile of books was quickly divided into two parts, one part was filtered out, and the other part was what he had never seen before.
