The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 363 363. Fairy Song (Subscribe)

Scott closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the perception of magic, slowly advancing through the "levels" in the golden treasure chest.

The office was very quiet, no one disturbed him.

He didn't know how long it took, but he suddenly realized that his magic perception encountered an extremely powerful barrier, and he could no longer go deeper.

At this moment, a message came into his mind quietly.

He spoke slowly, translating this somewhat unclear message into words.

"In the misty morning, the tears of mermaids; on the night of the full moon, the blood of werewolves; at noon under the scorching sun, the songs of fairies sing a golden chapter."

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three professors waiting aside.

"Just now, my mind received a message." He pointed to his head.

"It seems that this is how to open the box." Professor Binns frowned, "We need to ask the goblins to help."

Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick both nodded.

They all seemed to have understood what Scott said, but Scott himself did not fully understand, so he showed a confused expression.

Professor Binns glanced at Scott and explained in his usual emotionless tone, "Collect the mermaid's tears in the misty morning, get the werewolf's blood on the night of the full moon, and finally, let the goblins get the blood at the noon of the scorching sun." Sing the words on the box with a fairy song.”

"Does this sound like a magical ritual?" Scott asked.

"That's right." Professor Flitwick answered for him, "The Goblin Song is a kind of magic unique to goblins, and it is also an ancient magic ritual passed down by goblins."

Scott asked again, "What are the uses of mermaid tears and werewolf blood?"

Professor Flitwick shook his head, "The morning of mist and the night of the full moon are the moments when the magic power of Mermaid Tears and Werewolf Blood is most active. They should be necessary to open the box, but we don't know how to use them yet."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "The Goblin Song is a special magic in the legend. Even I have never seen it with my own eyes. I think we will naturally know how to use the mermaid tears and werewolf blood by then."

At this time, Professor Binns frowned.

He said: "It is not too difficult for us to obtain the tears of mermaids and the blood of werewolves. But the song of goblins... I am not sure whether we can invite those goblins and what price we have to pay."

"Oh!" Professor Flitwick pointed to the golden treasure box, "If the goblins see this box, they will definitely become greedy!"

Professor Binns nodded, "According to the tradition of the goblins, if they find out that this box was made by goblins, they will ask us to return the box to them."

Scott also understood what Professor Binns meant.

Goblins are the most radical magical creatures in the magical world. They believe that all things made by goblins belong to them. After the wizard pays a sum of gold, this thing can be temporarily held by the wizard during his lifetime.

Wizards believed that once the payment was made, the object would forever belong to them and their descendants or benefactors.

This is an unsolvable conflict of values.

Despite the fact that Gringotts Bank is now taken over by goblins, goblins and wizards coexist peacefully and live in peace and harmony.

In fact, most goblins are currently prejudiced and malicious towards wizards.

Throughout the history of the wizarding world, goblin rebellions have been described as "bloody and thrilling."

To tell the story of the goblin rebellion, we have to go back to the Middle Ages.

At that time, Godric Gryffindor, one of the Big Four at Hogwarts, was entrusting the Goblin King to build a sword for himself.

That sword would become the "Sword of Gryffindor" in the future. Since it was hand-forged by elves, the sword could repel dust and absorb substances that would strengthen itself.

Perhaps impressed by the sword, the Goblin King Legnak fell in love with the sword.

It went back on its word and wanted to take the sword back from Gryffindor.

It then claimed that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from it, and sent its subjects to retrieve it.

However, those goblins are no match for Gryffindor, the "Duel Master".

Gryffin defeated the goblins and asked them to go back and tell the goblin king Legnarc——

If Legnarc did such a thing again, he would kill him and all his subjects with his sword.

Legnac made no further attempts to take the sword.

But the legend of Gryffindor's stolen sword began to spread among the goblin society, and this is still the case thousands of years later.

This story is ingrained in the brains of all goblins, even in modern times, those goblins firmly believe in it.

Thinking of this, Scott felt that it was not easy to ask the goblins for help.

While it's impossible for goblins to take away the golden chest from Hogwarts, dealing with them is not a pleasant experience in itself.

At this time, Dumbledore said in a relaxed tone, "Then find a goblin to help. We can pay it."

His attitude was very optimistic, and he didn't seem to think it would be too troublesome to ask the goblins to help him do this.

Professor Binns said to him: "Whether you can satisfy the greed of the goblins is not mentioned for now, but I have already said that the modern goblins cannot recognize the ancient goblin writing on the box."

"It doesn't matter." Dumbledore said with a smile, "We still have you, Professor Binns, you can teach the goblins the correct pronunciation of these words."

Professor Binns looked down at the golden treasure chest and said in his always calm voice: "You know, Albus, the words on it are not coherent sentences."

He circled the golden treasure chest lightly.

"This box is like a very complicated Rubik's Cube that has been scrambled, and I haven't been able to successfully reorganize all the words."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "Of course, we can take our time. This is not something that needs to be rushed. Our main purpose is to find out why this box is hidden in Hogwarts."

At this time, Scott suddenly remembered that he had not told Ravenclaw about the golden treasure chest.

Before this, he didn't think that this box would be very important, but he was going to mention it by the way when he went to Helena's study on the weekend.

Afterwards, his mind was completely occupied by the prophecy, so he forgot to mention this box.

However, the possibility that Ravenclaw knew about this was also very low.

Although the Room of Requirement is Ravenclaw's alchemical masterpiece, and although the real Ravenclaw left a consciousness in the portrait before his death, Ravenclaw's consciousness had been asleep before Ms. Grey walked into the study.

"Let me do it!"

Professor Flitwick suddenly spoke, and because he spoke loudly, his voice seemed a little sharp.

"Filius?" Dumbledore looked at him with an inquiring look.

"I mean, there is no need to ask real goblins for help." Professor Flitwick said, "It's enough to have a wizard like me with goblin blood."

Scott looked at Dumbledore, and the old headmaster looked at Professor Flitwick with some hesitation.

Professor Flitwick looked up and looked at him.

"There is no need to provoke those goblins for this matter." He said, "It will bring countless troubles."

"You actually know the goblin song?" Professor Binns asked very directly.

Professor Flitwick had a strange expression. He clenched his fists and then nodded gently. "I can, although it's a little reluctant. It's definitely not as easy as a real goblin."

Professor Binns immediately said, "Then you come."

Obviously, he didn't want to provoke those troublesome goblins.

"Have you decided, Filius?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course, I've decided." Professor Flitwick nodded heavily.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Don't worry." Professor Flitwick looked at the golden treasure chest on the carpet and laughed. "Speaking of which, I can take this opportunity to learn another language."

Professor Binns showed a very stiff and scary smile on his translucent face. "Of course I can teach you if you want to learn."

"Of course... Professor Binns." Professor Flitwick responded, and turned his face away from Professor Binns's sight and showed a trace of pain.

Due to the angle, Scott happened to see this scene.

It seems that it is not just the young wizards today who are afraid of Professor Binns' "hypnotic teaching".

At this time, Professor Binns had already floated towards the wall of the office.

"Next, I will sort out the words on the box as soon as possible. Albus, please send the box to my office."

After saying this, he just passed through the wall and left Professor Flitwick's office.

Then, Dumbledore also left with the golden treasure chest.

"Oh, next..."

Professor Flitwick waved his wand, closed the door of the office, and then opened the passage to the spell practice room.

He said to Scott: "Let's start the class tonight!"

The teacher and student walked into the practice room, and Professor Flitwick waved his wand again to close the passage and move the practice targets to the wall.

"From today on, I will give you strict wizard duel training." Professor Flitwick raised the wand in his hand, "It is also practical training, and other teaching content will also be included in the practical training."

Scott nodded solemnly, reached out to take out his wand, and bowed to Professor Flitwick.

"Come on."

Professor Flitwick made a "please" gesture.

"You can use all means to attack me."

His expression became very serious, and his eyes were fixed on Scott.

"Of course, I will fight back and let you get hurt. This is inevitable."

Scott nodded again, and his eyes were still fixed on Professor Flitwick.

Even though he was so short and even looked a little funny, Professor Flitwick could bring Scott strong psychological pressure just by standing there.

"Armor protection!"

To be conservative, Scott first cast an armor spell in front of himself.

Professor Flitwick just watched his movements, still waiting for him to take the initiative to attack.

Scott aimed his wand at the humanoid practice target against the wall.

Some of these humanoid practice targets were made of wood, which could be shattered by the spell, and some were made of metal, which was difficult to be destroyed.

Scott's Transfiguration Spell enveloped a metal practice target.

"Woo..."

With a wolf howl, the humanoid metal practice target turned into a huge gray wolf, and pounced fiercely at Professor Flitwick.

Scott certainly didn't think that the gray wolf's attack would be effective against Professor Flitwick.

He planned that while Professor Flitwick was dealing with the gray wolf, he could take the opportunity to use Transfiguration again to get more helpers.

But his plan failed.

Professor Flitwick's wand trembled, and a thick rope sprang up flexibly. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around the gray wolf, and then bypassed the magic barrier of the armor spell in the next moment.

During this period, the only thing Scott could do in time was to move and ignite a circle of blazing flames around himself in time.

But the rope did not pass through the flames to attack him, but was retracted at the fastest speed, tying up the gray wolf tightly.

At the same time, a red beam shot out from the tip of Professor Flitwick's wand, winding through the air like lightning, smashing the magic barrier in front of Scott.

"Thunder Explosion!"

Scott took the initiative before Professor Flitwick launched a direct attack on him and cast a powerful blasting spell.

He did not choose the more basic spells such as the Stunning Spell or the Cutting Spell. He knew that Professor Flitwick could bounce off spells of that level with just a wave of his hand.

"Armor!"

Professor Flitwick finally started to chant, using the Armor Charm to block Scott's blasting spell.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Scott didn't even have time to breathe, and used two of his most familiar Transfiguration Charms at the fastest speed.

"Woo..."

Two new gray wolves appeared, baring their fangs and claws and rushing towards Professor Flitwick from different directions.

Professor Flitwick shook his wand calmly, and two blue lights separated and hit the two jumping gray wolves almost at the same time, as if they were frozen in an instant, and the two gray wolves were completely fixed.

At this time, Scott had cast another Armor Charm in front of him.

Although Professor Flitwick could easily break his Armor Charm, the existence of the Armor Charm could help him buy some time.

"Smoke and smoke!"

With the existence of the Armor Charm, Scott directly cast the Smoke Screen Charm, hoping to find opportunities through his advantage in magic perception.

Under the cover of the smoke screen, Scott only had time to rescue his three gray wolves. Professor Flitwick took the same approach as Black and used the household magic whirlwind to directly break the smoke screen spell.

Scott also changed his mind, letting two gray wolves attack and one gray wolf guard him.

This choice made him feel a little more relaxed.

However, even if he tried his best in the following time, he could not break through Professor Flitwick's defense line, and finally lost in the professor's precise counterattack.

"Well done, Scott! Your performance is better than I thought."

Professor Flitwick raised his hand to remove the petrification spell that Scott was hit with.

After the duel, the professor became kind again and praised his student.

"Your battle ideas are very clear, and the use of spells is already very advanced. You are much better than the average seventh-year graduate of Hogwarts."

After the praise, he also analyzed his shortcomings.

"As for the shortcomings, the biggest shortcoming is still the lack of combat experience."
