At this time, Aaron didn't know that he had become as terrifying as a dark wizard in Neville's eyes.
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. There have been many legends spread in Hogwarts that are far more outrageous than this. Many people even believe that there is a secret room left by Slytherin in the castle.
Now, Aaron is standing in front of the library on the second floor, chatting with the librarian Mrs. Pince.
"...Students are becoming more and more mischievous, unruly, destroying books at will, and always want to sneak into the forbidden book area. Professor, you must take good care of them."
Mrs. Pince complained to Aaron while registering.
The habitual criminal who once often sneaked into the forbidden book area touched his nose and said sternly:
"no problem."
"Thank you very much!"
When he was in school, Aaron heard that a long time ago, there were no restrictions in the Hogwarts library, and even the restricted book area was fully open to students, so stories like this were often passed down -
A certain wizard who was living an unsatisfactory life accidentally discovered a notebook left by a great magician while wandering in the library, which contained all his wisdom and experiences. After receiving this treasure, the little wizard transformed into a genius wizard praised by everyone.
Great story - but Aaron felt a few details were missing:
For example, if the wizard was bullied by his classmates, ridiculed by his teacher, or had his fiancée break off the engagement before he found the note...
After finding the note, he suddenly became famous and became the Minister of Magic in the future. This story will definitely be more attractive.
However, there are such rumors and it proves one thing from the side - this seemingly ordinary library is the largest and most valuable treasure of Hogwarts.
Since the era of the Big Four, this library has spanned a thousand years. The collections of many generations of teachers and students at Hogwarts over the past thousand years, as well as the crystallization of magical wisdom from many eras, are all collected in this library.
It is like a boundless sea of knowledge. What you can gain from it depends on how you explore it.
Of course, except for Aaron, he does not intend to go to the sea in the traditional way - that is not efficient enough. He has a way of exploration that is more in line with the times.
"Runas, are you ready?"
While Mrs. Pingsi was not paying attention, Aaron walked to a row of bookshelves and gently called out his most capable assistant.
Runas flew out of Aaron's pocket, "Always ready."
As it spoke, it flapped its wings slightly, and its spherical body became transparent.
This is one of the several mechanisms Aaron added to the Golden Snitch when he transformed it, which can achieve an effect similar to the Disguise Spell.
"Very good. Now, go and scan all the books here - if you come across any special books that cannot be scanned, come and tell me."
"Sir, there are a lot of books here. It may take a long time to scan them all."
"It doesn't matter, I'm already a professor and I have plenty of time."
"Sir, I have to say that coming here to teach is a very correct decision."
Yes, this is how Aaron explored this sea of knowledge - he simply moved the sea away!
As an artificial intelligence-like being, Lunas also needs a sufficiently 'huge' database to maintain operation.
For it, all kinds of magical knowledge are its 'database'. The more knowledge it masters, the higher its 'wisdom' it will have, and the stronger its ability as an 'artificial intelligence' will be.
So, looking at the entire British wizarding community, where is the 'database' more valuable than here?
And this was one of the reasons why Aaron was willing to accept the teaching position. With the rich collection of books in the Hogwarts library, if Runas can chew them all, it will usher in a wave of epic enhancements!
This wave, this wave is a complete exchange of shotguns for cannons!
Aaron couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about how smart Runas would be in the future.
It is human nature to be lazy. As long as Runas is smart enough, a lot of trivial tasks - such as preparing lessons, correcting homework, writing test questions, etc., can be left to it!
"Okay, registration is complete, you can go in."
Mrs. Pince made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Aaron could go in.
"Thanks."
Aaron saluted gracefully, then walked into the restricted book area with his legs raised.
The layout here is not much different from the common book area. There are endless rows of bookshelves. The bookshelves are filled with various magic books, many of which are related to black magic.
During Lunas' crazy "stocking" period, Aaron was not idle. He browsed and read in his restricted book area and selected some potion books that were difficult to find outside:
"Extraordinary Potion", "Overview of Forbidden Potions", "Merlin Teaches You to Brew Glory", "Morgan Teaches You to Prevent Death" and so on.
The first is a collection of potion recipes compiled by the founder of the Society of Extraordinary Apothecaries. He carefully selected many potions that he believed had left a profound impact on the history of potions and included them, hoping to serve as a reference for future generations.
The author of the second book is unknown. It records some forbidden potions involving black magic. It is very dangerous and very dark——
Aaron once read about a resurrection potion, which is said to be able to reshape the body of the deceased. As long as his soul still exists in this world, he can return again.
However, this book does not record the specific configuration of this magic potion.
The third and fourth books are more similar to "novelist's words".
These two books contain many lost potion recipes from the 'ancient times' of wizards before the era of the Big Four at Hogwarts.
Aaron flipped through it casually. About 70% of them seemed to be completely random, 20% were based on existing potion formulas and the names were changed, and the remaining 10% were completely incomprehensible to Aaron.
However, although these two books do not seem to be reliable, they are also named like Lockhart's series of books. But Aaron still believes that they have a certain value, because in some aspects, these two books involve the ancient history of wizards.
In fact, in the years about five or six centuries ago, wizards rarely left enough detailed records - wizards at that time did not value history.
People can know which famous wizards appeared in which era and what abilities they had - these are all written on the chocolate frog's card.
However, there are more things, such as the history of the development of magic, the details of ancient magic, and many mysterious magic relics - wizards don't know much.
Therefore, to this day, there are still many people who are obsessed with those lost histories. They may have a great desire to uncover the secrets of the magical world, or they simply want to obtain the treasures left by ancient wizards.
In short, the trend of studying ancient history has gradually risen in recent years.
The two books in Aaron's hands, under the guise of Merlin, the most famous wizard in British history, and his fatal enemy, Queen Morgan of Avalon, contain many seemingly illusory ancient potions.
But its records about ancient history are well worth reading.
Therefore, Aaron planned to borrow these four books and return to his office to read them carefully - maybe he would be able to find clues to the secrets of the ancient magical world.
At this moment, Runas's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Sir, please come here quickly, on the third row of bookshelves on the south side of the restricted book area. I seem to have found a very interesting book."
