Chapter 60 Trial of Wisdom

It wasn't until a phone call from Zager reminded Lind that he realized that he had indeed spent a busy two months. However, it cannot be said that he is busy, his life is quite fulfilling.

Research the magic version of artificial intelligence, research automated farms, design livestock slaughterhouses and soul stone charging assembly lines, use enchantment technology to build steam engines, and use transfiguration to build large steamships. Eat and drink with a group of students at Hogwarts, and drink with old friends at Winterhold. Play the Famicom in the library tower, or go fishing. Sometimes I talk about academics with the college mage, and sometimes I talk about government affairs with the Lord of Winterhold.

Time flies by for research, entertainment and socializing.For an immortal, having his own hobbies is actually a very happy thing. Of course, for a mortal with a short life, having love is a happier thing than happiness.

(Lind: Never lose love, my friend.)

It is already December in World 1, Christmas is coming, and Hogwarts Castle is immersed in the joy of the approaching holiday. The air seems to have turned into honey water, with a sweet smell.

Work on Winterhold has come to an end for the time being. Lind also returned to Hogwarts, and he was going to take a short break until the New Year.

"How did you find the library tower?" Linde was a little curious. He didn't pay attention to the two months at Hogwarts, which were obviously an interesting time of adventure for Harry and the four of them.

They couldn’t wait to share it with Linde, too. Just like when Lind told them stories on the Hogwarts Express. Now these children have their own stories, feel that their life experience has been slightly enriched, and they all have high-spirited looks on their faces.

Hermione and Ron explained step by step how they found the door to the library tower.

The child's ability to organize language was so poor that his speech was illogical and his words did not match the words he spoke. After listening to it for a while, Linde's head swelled to twice its size.

In the end, it was Harry who came forward to explain clearly.

"Ron found clues in the prize room. We started looking for clues to the legend of the djinn..."

At that time, Hermione suggested that everyone divide their forces into several groups and search separately in the castle.

Find everything related to lamps, books and even pictures, audio and video.

Hermione went to the Hogwarts library. She found the "Arabian Nights" included here, but when she opened it, she found that the content about Aladdin's lamp had been replaced with a short poem.

Thewordsonpaperarehidden,

[Words on paper are silent,]

Truthfully in mind.

[The truth only exists in the heart. ]

Thefoolfindflameofsecret,

[The fool finds the secret fire,]

Returntolampforgenie.

[Return the magic lamp to summon the spirit. ]

Ron and Neville were in charge of searching the castle. The two confused boys spent a month in vain until one day, by chance, on the second floor of the Astronomy Tower, they saw the oil painting "Woman Drinking in the Afternoon" on the wall, on the dining table in the picture There was a silver oil lamp.

Ron interjected excitedly: "I found it!"

Harry nodded and said, "Ron wiped the oil lamp on the painting."

"A flame came out of the lamp!"

The bright silver flame was like a hovering sharp arrow, hitting the back of Ron's hand, leaving a small ring mark there.

At that time, no one knew what the mark was for or whether it would cause harm to Ron. Curse stories have always been circulating in the wizarding world, and Ron had nightmares about it for several nights.

"You were dreaming. Did you invent a magic spell in your dream?" Linde asked curiously.

Ron shook his head, inventing a spell was too far away for him.

Harry's expression changed. He really wanted to take the opportunity to talk about his recent strange dream incident. But soon, the topic moved on.

After collecting clues, Hermione decided that as long as she found the magic lamp hidden somewhere and Ron returned the secret fire, she could solve the mystery.

In this way, they continued to work until the end of November, and the four children were still stuck at this step.

"The magic lamp is definitely not hidden in some inexplicable place. There must be some clues that we have overlooked." Hermione racked her brains at that time, "I was wondering what the first two lines of that little poem on the paper meant. The truth cannot be found, but must be found in the human heart.”

Ron quietly complained, "Her expression is so scary, I doubt she would open other people's brains for decryption."

Harry said: "Is it possible that these two sentences mean that we should ask someone who knows the legend of the Djinn?"

"Professors of Muggle studies might know."

"Anyone who studies Muggles?"

"Professor Charity Bubbaji, and Professor Quirrell." Hermione said an unexpected name. "Before teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Quirrell was in charge of Muggle Studies."

So Hermione went to find Caredi, while Harry went to find Quirrell.

They all learned the detailed version of the story of "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" from the professor, and it was also the wizard's version.

The wizard version is very different from the Muggle version.

"Aladdin's Magic Lamp", which is popular among the people, tells the story of a young man named Aladdin who was framed by an evil wizard and achieved happiness in life with the help of a magic lamp.

In the magic world, this is not a story, but a history that actually happened.The evil wizard is based on a wizard who lived in thirteenth-century Arabia, a fan of fantastic animals who traveled the world as a young man on the trail of magical creatures.

One year, he took a boat to America alone and discovered an island country full of gold near the equator. This golden place was called Chrysae, and it had been recorded in books by the Greek wizard Dionysus as early as the middle of the first century.

The wizard sealed a strange monster on the island in an oil lamp, and brought it back to Asia with him.Years later, the lamp was stolen by the wizard's Muggle servants.

The nephew of the servant accidentally released the monster, and the angry monster cursed the land, causing wind and sand to run rampant, forests and cities were buried, forming the Rub Khali Desert in the Arabian Peninsula today, and the oil lamp disappeared after that.

After learning the truth of the story, the four little wizards were at a loss. The last location where the oil lamp appeared was thousands of miles away. Could it be possible that they could still skip class and explore the Arabian Peninsula?

They poured bitter water in front of Linde, thinking that he was deliberately embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, at least you guys succeeded in the end, didn't you? Tell me, how did you come up with the clue?"

This time, it was Neville Longbottom who proposed the solution. He had always tried his best to help, but it was a pity that he was stupid and timid, and seemed to have no sense of existence. Just when the three friends were helpless, Neville suddenly said: "Hogwarts should also have a desert."

"Huh? Where?"

"In the second greenhouse... during the herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout mentioned that she used a 'weather magic carpet' to create various environments. Some plants can only grow in specific places." Neville saw Hercules. Min's eyes became brighter and brighter. He lowered his head and said softly, "Once after class, I asked Professor Sprout to ask questions. There was a wooden box in the corner of the second greenhouse, and the professor put the magic of desert weather into it. The blanket is tucked in there.”

"So clever! Neville!" Both Harry and Ron applauded him.

So they found the magic carpet that simulated the desert climate in the second greenhouse.

Unfolding the magic carpet, a miniature desert appeared. The imprint on the back of Ron's hand was hot. He reached out to touch the yellow sand, and pulled out a silver oil lamp from a small dune.

Harry said softly: "The mark on the back of Ron's hand turned into flames and flew into the oil lamp, and the lamp released smoke."

Hermione continued, "The smoke condenses and forms a door."

Ron spread his hands, "And then we came in."

When the four of them came in, they saw a warm golden desert, which was Master Zag's classroom.

In the center of this not-so-vast desert, there are pearl-like oases dotted with towering temples there.Big cats walking on two legs, dressed in elegant priestly robes, welcomed them in front of the temple.
