From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

"Professor, I would like to borrow some books from the library." Xiwen said.

"What book do you want to borrow?" Professor Slughorn looked at him suspiciously and asked. "You are not at your age to read those dangerous books in the restricted area."

"I am somewhat interested in alchemy and would like to know some knowledge about alchemy." Xiwen said. He is too greedy for the Xuan Ring. Since there is no such thing in the world, he should make one by himself!

"I advise you... Oh, alchemy, that's no problem! You don't need the reward this time, just tell me and I will sign it for you." Professor Slughorn relaxed when he heard that it was not a dark magic book.

He said it generously in one breath.

There are countless young wizards in Slytherin House who are curious about black magic, and most of them come from very good families. In order to avoid any quarrel with them, Professor Slughorn is usually not very able to refuse these.

Little wizard.

So when Sivan mentioned that he wanted to borrow a book, his instinctive reaction was that there was another little Slytherin wizard who wanted to get into contact with dark magic. What's more, Sivan had only been in Hogwarts for a week and was only eleven.

Years old. At this age, one should not be exposed to things like black magic that affect the mind.

When he was about to remind Sivan of the dangers of black magic, Sivan said that what he wanted to borrow were books about alchemy, which made Professor Slughorn extremely happy.

"Hogwarts once had alchemy-related courses, but due to the difficulty of entry and the rarity of alchemists, the teaching of alchemy classes has been fruitless. Later, it was difficult to even recruit a professor. So this course

The class can only be cut..." Professor Slughorn introduced the situation of alchemy to Xiven in detail, which made Xiwen's scalp numb.

"Is it so difficult..." Xiwen asked.

"Alchemy is a lifelong learning magic subject, and it is indeed too shallow in just seven years at Hogwarts." At this time, Dumbledore stood up and said. "Just the introductory language of alchemy——

Ancient runes cannot be mastered in a few years. Therefore, Mr. Rozier, if you really want to learn alchemy, you should start learning the language of ancient runes now."

"Rune?" Xiwen muttered with a strange expression.

"By the way! Speaking of alchemy, I have to introduce you to Professor Dumbledore. He has a deep friendship with the master alchemist Nick Flamel, and he is a master alchemist himself!" Professor Slughorn said enthusiastically

He walked to Dumbledore's side, put his arm around his shoulders and came to Sivan's bedside, and said. "While he was in school, Albus also participated in the International Alchemy Congress held in Cairo, Egypt, and even won a

Gold Award for Pioneering Contributions! If you have any questions about alchemy, you can ask Professor Dumbledore."

"Wait a minute, Horace." Dumbledore said with a confused look. "This reward for Rozier seems to be your mission, why was it dumped on me?"

"You will agree, Albus." Professor Slughorn said confidently.

Then he looked at Xiven and asked: "Xiwen, are you willing to use your reward to let Professor Dumbledore teach you alchemy?"

Sivan glanced at Dumbledore and found that he was shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"Of course I agree, I will make a lot of money this way!" Xiwen agreed very excitedly, but seeing Dumbledore's expression, he still felt that Dumbledore might disagree. "But Professor Dumbledore will

are you willing?"

"Don't worry about this." Professor Slughorn waved his hand.

Then he looked at Dumbledore angrily and said, "Two bottles of potion!"

"This number!" Dumbledore's expression became very interested and he stretched out his fully open left hand.

"Don't even think about it, Albus." Professor Slughorn frowned and glared at Dumbledore. "Three bottles at most!"

Dumbledore spread his hands indifferently and said: "I don't care, but you will be involved in the issue of whether you can fulfill the promise you made in front of the students. Think about it."

"Albus Dumbledore, don't go too far!" Professor Slughorn said through gritted teeth.

"At most this number!" He held out four fingers.

"Deal!" Dumbledore immediately held his hand on the four fingers extended by Professor Slughorn and said cheerfully. "Don't go back on your word, Horace."

Professor Slughorn realized that he had been tricked by Dumbledore and walked out the door angrily.

"Albus, Xiven will be left to you!" Before leaving, he turned around and added, and then left gracefully.

Seeing that there was nothing going on here, other professors also left one after another, leaving Dumbledore alone in the infirmary preparing to fulfill his promise to Professor Slughorn.

Sivan looked at this scene with sweat on his head and asked Dumbledore: "Professor, will I offend Professor Slughorn because of this matter?"

Dumbledore was happy and said with a smile: "Don't think so much! That guy Horace is just an old cunning guy. He deliberately showed excitement just to sell you more favors. There is no need to feel any psychological pressure."

.”

"Is it really okay to just say it so directly..." Xiwen was speechless.

"I don't recommend that you borrow those advanced books on alchemy directly from the restricted area." Dumbledore continued. "I think you should first learn ancient runes, which are the basis of alchemy."

With that said, he asked Mrs. Dallaire to borrow a piece of parchment and a quill from the office of the school hospital. He wrote down a few book titles in a cool and unrestrained manner, signed his name and handed it to Xiwen.

Xiwen took the parchment and saw the bold and handsome handwriting on it:

"Allow student Sivan Rozier to borrow the books "Introduction to Ancient Runes", "Classification of Ancient Runes" and "The Evolution of Language" - Albus Dumbledore"

"Um, Professor Dumbledore, I mean, is there a possibility that I have learned ancient runes?" Sivan said with some embarrassment.

In fact, Xiwen realized not long after he came to this world that the language system here is no different from the previous world. The geographical distribution of the two worlds is not very different, so the different languages ​​​​of each country, such as English, Chinese, French, etc., are completely different.

Communicating.

Xiwen is also considered a very capable scholar in Kamal Taj. He has learned many languages ​​​​in order to read books of various types and different eras. In Kamal Taj's library, there are many profound and complex books.

It is written in seal script, Sanskrit or rune script which has greater magical power.

Coincidentally, this new world also used runes in ancient times to record events or carve magic seals. And just like other widely circulated languages, the ancient runes here were also different from the runes he was familiar with.

Not even a hair’s breadth!

"What?" Dumbledore was shocked, and his questioning voice was amplified several times. "You said you have learned ancient runes?"

Xiwen nodded innocently, made an excuse at random, and said: "I have liked reading since I was a child. There are many books written in runes in the library at home. I accidentally learned it by myself..."

"What do you mean you learned it by accident?" Dumbledore's mouth twitched crazily. You must know that he was the most talented student in Hogwarts at the end of the last century, and it took him a lot of effort to learn ancient runes.

.And Xiwen was able to completely learn this profound and difficult language at the age of eleven?

"No, I have to give you some questions." Dumbledore took a breath and said softly. "If you dare to lie to me, I might accidentally give you a dozen extra questions for your next Transfiguration class assignment."

Twenty times..."
