The owl bumped against the window, and it didn't take much to figure out that it was the Weasley's old owl.
Opening the window and lifting the owl up, John got the letter from its mouth.
"Traveled to Egypt?"
Ron wrote to John and told John that their family was going to Egypt for a trip, and apologized to John that the invitation to the Burrow could only be postponed.
"I would have forgotten about it if I didn't mention it."
Ron invited John to the Burrow in second grade, but John completely forgot about it after he returned home.
He thought Ron wouldn't invite him, after all, he was thinking about how to experiment with Scabbers.
Percy also sent a letter, thanking John for helping him win the position of student council president, and vaguely mentioned that he wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future.
"It seems that it's done, Ministry of Magic. I remember that he did well in the Ministry of Magic."
As an outlier in the Weasley family, Percy can be said to have gained a lot of experience points for the generals.
From prefect to Head Boy, and then to work in the Ministry of Magic.
Every step has a clear goal.
John smiled: "In that case, what if I help you."
He took out his quill and wrote a letter to Old Barty Crouch. After John's observation and understanding of this person, he knew that he was a person worthy of close friendship.
Not to mention anything else, John was very impressed by Barty Crouch Sr.'s act of killing relatives.
I think Old Barty would also be very interested in the talented Percy going there.
After dealing with the daily correspondence, John picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet.
Johnny Silverhand's turmoil is gradually over, and the opening of a wary black magic museum seems to show that Johnny Silverhand is not the kind of extremely greedy dark wizard.
Now the newspaper cover showed a familiar figure, Lockhart.
He was awarded the Most Charming Smile Award for the sixth time by Wizarding Weekly, and Lockhart's new book was reported in the newspaper.
""I Swing the Sword at Hogwarts" became a hit in the wizarding world upon its release. It has been the best-selling book for three consecutive weeks. Gilderoy Lockhart's experience at Hogwarts has added to his legendary life. A brilliant move.”
John had to say that Lockhart was a talent. As long as his affairs were not exposed, then Lockhart would be the well-deserved number one in the wizarding world.
This book quickly became popular throughout the magical world. Although the content in it was a bit watery, Lockhart was very clever this time and chose to use a dual protagonist method.
A handsome, powerful magic professor paired with a talented Hogwarts legendary student.
Everything that happens in it is also a real adaptation, including the teachings and the basilisk, and the truth is revealed at the end.
From beginning to end, it can be called a masterpiece.
I, John Wick, would like to call him the strongest.
"Maybe I can continue to package him."
It's a shame for a top-notch person to have such a money-spinner without using it.
John touched his chin, feeling that he needed to add fuel to the fire.
I took out a pen and paper and sent a letter to Rita Skeeter.
I believe that with the name of the Daily Prophet, Lockhart can continue to create miracles.
He was pushing the situation behind the scenes, so he was certainly not showing off his courtesy for nothing. He had money to buy Lockhart's book.
Let Johnny Silverhand take the copyright, and John and Lockhart split the rights.
Managing this book well will also bring a lot of income to John.
Head to the basement.
This place has completely become John's territory, and there are many dangerous props inside, so John will lock it when he leaves.
After a day of knowledge intake and practice, John's runes were successfully upgraded.
At double material level 4, John opened "Fairy Forging Science" again, and now he could understand everything in it.
It has to be said that fairies can be nourished in the magical world, and this magical casting method is unique.
"Fairy magic..."
Looking at the goblin magic inside, John fell into deep thought.
This kind of magic is also called ancient magic and is a very ancient existence.
Specifically, it can be pushed back to the period before the Big Four. At that time, the goblins were not under the jurisdiction of wizards.
Fairy magic does not rely on wands, it is like innate magic.
"Ancient runes are also one of the ancient magics. No wonder runes are needed."
After carefully reading the knowledge in the book, John tried to use the goblin method to cast.
"Mobilize elements and inject them into props to build a natural magic circuit."
John put on the magic crystal, stretched out his hands and pointed them in front.
As his thoughts struck, a whirlwind appeared out of thin air in the closed basement.
"Wind element."
Staring at the whirlwind, John continued to hold his breath and concentrate. Under his control, the wind kept circling, approaching a spell ring on the table.
At the moment of contact, the Ring of Conjuration was triggered, and a petrifying spell wiped John's cheek.
The element of air is terminated.
"It seems a few more tests are needed."
John frowned. This "Fairy Casting Science" also involves ancient magic, which is too difficult.
Do you want to directly find a goblin to forge a sword like Gryffindor?
I just thought that since all the goblins are in Gringotts now, whether they have the manufacturing technology or not is a question.
The original Gryffindor was built by the Goblin King. This craft was definitely not something that ordinary goblins could possess.
Thinking of this, John couldn't help but sigh and said tiredly: "You still have to rely on yourself."
I called up the panel and took a look. There were two remaining random points that were not used. A new skill also appeared in the skill bar.
"Proficient in ancient magic?"
The newly appeared skills are only at level 1, and it is not possible to continue upgrading them.
That skill is gray, which means John needs to accumulate enough knowledge.
"If you want to upgrade again, you need more accumulation of ancient magic."
John stared at this skill, which touched upon his blind spot of knowledge.
After all, he didn't even know what ancient magic was, so it was really difficult for him to learn it.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, John finished reading "The Science of Fairy Forging" in its entirety.
Now this book is not too difficult for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an expert in alchemy and runes.
"Although this book records some knowledge about fairy casting, it is not comprehensive enough."
Closing the book, John rubbed his eyebrows.
It seems that I have to change direction again.
I hope there are books in the restricted book section that can help me.
In terms of ancient magic, you can go to the secret rooms of the two giants.
They are the oldest characters John knows. If there is no such thing, it can only be traced back to the time of the three Deathly Hallows brothers.
John spent the next few days in the basement.
He gradually mastered the other three elemental magics including wind magic, namely fog magic, water magic, and fire magic.
Wind can enhance perception, fog can shield the body, water can summon water flow, and fire can summon flames.
The application of the four magics can be used without a wand, which is a good gain for John.
...
"Tom, do a backflip."
"It's amazing. How did you train this dog?"
"Just so-so, just teach me casually."
There's someone coming to the house, a business friend of my father's.
In order to increase the relationship, the other party also brought a child about the same age as John.
However, when John saw the arrogant-looking child, he simply felt like he was accompanying a child.
So much so that he betrayed Tom and ran away directly to stay.
"Ah, the fresh air."
John stood on the side of the road breathing the free air. He swore that he would never entertain these little brats again.
It was simply more painful than talking about money with Xiu Xiu.
He complained: "Compared with that little brat, Draco seems sensible."
There were spoiled children everywhere, and John didn't want to pay attention to that kid.
While walking aimlessly on the side of the road, he spotted a black dog.
The black dog seemed to have been hungry for many days. Even through the thick fur, John could see that the dog was very thin.
He admitted that the dog was not good-looking enough, but as a plush man, John still took out a pack of small fish to dry.
"Have you been hungry for a long time?"
The black dog was looking in one direction and was a little dazed after hearing the sound.
A black-haired boy brought him dried fish, although it didn't look like it was food for dogs.
As a big dog who had been hungry for a long time, he still ate without hesitation.
Looking at the way it was eating, John felt a little sympathetic.
After touching the dog's head, John said to himself: "I don't know where you came from, dog. Stray dogs are not allowed around here."
This big black dog looks very sloppy, but his hair quality is surprisingly good.
John was addicted to rubbing it and didn't notice the astonished eyes of the black dog at all.
