A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Chapter 147 Practical Lesson (3) The Key

All the Ravenclaw students laughed.

One of the girls said without hesitation: "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."

They were quickly arranged in the correct order, and in a dazzling light, the rune above disappeared, replaced by a string of ornate, flowing English glittering on the walls: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."

"That's right! That's it, this wall clearly represents Ravenclaw, the other three walls..." Percy said excitedly.

"Representing the other three colleges!"

Everyone thought of this.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the runes on the other three walls were also cracked one after another——

"Courage and fearlessness are my best friends." Godric Gryffindor famously said.

"Tough honesty, integrity and loyalty." That's what people say about Hufflepuffs.

"Be with honor and with strength." This is what a famous Slytherin wizard in history said.

On the four walls, the four lines of words shone brightly, and everyone held their breath subconsciously. Sure enough, the writing on the walls disappeared.

In the darkness, only the light from the wands in their hands acted as a light source, and these unobtrusive lights illuminated their excited faces.

An ordinary door appeared, as if it had always been there, and the students walked in.

There is only one table inside, and on the table is a manuscript named "An Important Manuscript".

Jeffrey turned to the first page, which read: "Four keys to get out of here." Everything else was blank.

He snorted, "Do we still need the key? As long as we don't open the door, we will go out..." He suddenly stopped talking, as if choked on by his saliva. A layer of sweat quickly appeared on his face, "I, can we still find the door to the classroom?"

Looking at each other, Percy said to the air, "Professor Heppe... Are you there, Professor Heppe?"

No response.

"Looks like we have to collect the keys." Wood scratched his head. "But where are they?"

"Of course it's east, south, west, and north. Remember the runes we saw in the tombstone group?" Percy said to Penello.

"You mean...that story!"

"That's right," Percy exclaimed, the tip of his nose flushed with excitement. "The text on the tombstone records the information of this place, but there is actually one more thing, one of the keys."

So the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students took out the parchments they had previously recorded and arranged them as needed.

"I'm 3-1 here, who has 3-2?"

"I'm ahead of you, I'm 1-7."

They glued the parchment paper to the wall in order and looked carefully: "Obviously, there are groups of ten, four in total."

"The first group is to introduce the background of the operation in 1842, which is similar to what Professor Hepp said..."

"It doesn't matter," Jeffrey said.

Percy rolled his eyes and continued: "The second group introduced the terrain of this place, which is very simple, south, south, north and west, plus the central safe house."

"The third and fourth groups were the troubles encountered by the staff of the Ministry of Magic at the time. Oh, although the concealment magic fails, other protective measures are still working. Look here, one of the defenses is a large number of corpses, the little skeletons we met... …”

"That's wicked! Why didn't the Ministry of Magic arrest him at the time?"

"Oh, I think maybe it's because they haven't had time to set up the Ministry of Magic..."

...

"What are the other defenses?"

"Voldebats, Sorcerer's Statue, and Devil's Vine," Percy said, pointing to the writing.

"Very good~ It looks like we're dealing with something similar," Wood said. "The Inferi corresponds to a small skeleton. It seems that there are similar substitutes elsewhere, but I want to ask, what is a Voldemort?"

"A fairly rare magical creature that looks like a black cloak, slides against the ground, and hunts at night. Some people say that they are close relatives of Dementors. In addition to their similar appearance, they are both restrained by the Patronus Charm." Percy said.

"Anyone here with a Patronus Charm?" Wood asked.

No one raised their hands.

Percy told part of the truth: "That's not the exam, Wood. No one is going to waste a lot of time learning a powerful spell that doesn't work."

Penello recalled: "Dean Flitwick mentioned this spell in class, I tried it a few times, and there was only some white mist. If someone guides..."

"But Voldemort bats are quite dangerous creatures, and the professor won't let us deal with them. I guess we'll hit the crow's nest then?" Percy speculated, but he believed it was inseparable.

"Stop chatting, where do we start?" Jeffrey said.

"The tombstone group, we are most familiar with there, it can save time."

"very good."

As they walked out of the safe house, Percy flattened his wand in his palm and whispered to it, "Show me the way."

The wand twirled and designated his right hand, which was north.

"So we're going in the opposite direction, and we're going back to the tombstones," Percy told everyone.

They returned to the group of tombstones again, and the Slytherin and Hufflepuff students pointed at the Blackstone tombstone in amazement.

"Look, the skeleton bones have turned into stones." Wood reminded.

Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students discovered that the small skeletons scattered all over the ground had all turned into broken stones.

"It's very clever transfiguration, we didn't see it at all at the time." A wizard picked up a stone and looked at it carefully.

A Ravenclaw girl said sadly: "I even hugged it, it looks lovely."

Percy looked at her strangely, and he pulled Penello and whispered, "Is she always like this?"

"She's a huge fan of magic puppets," Penello explained.

"Okay, let's look for it separately, it shouldn't be too difficult..."

Seven or eight minutes later, a Hufflepuff student found a golden key in a rock.

"Where did you find it?"

Grover pointed to the broken stone not far away, and Wood's eyes widened, "That's the little skeleton that attacked me. I kept it on purpose! I didn't expect the key to be hidden in its head."

"Very good, we have completed a quarter of the progress, and we will continue to work hard..." Percy was about to give a few words of encouragement when Slytherin Prefect Jeffrey came over with a box.

"what is this?"

"A treasure map," Jeffrey said.

"How come there is such a thing?" Percy's mind was messed up, and the students gathered around, looking at the drawings in the box.

The marking on it is very simple. In the southeast direction of the safe house, there is a picture of a bottle, and next to it is a rune symbol representing wealth.

At this moment, a muffled sound like thunder came from the sky——

"It seems that you had a great time...but I have to regret to inform you that this unexpected journey is temporarily over. Take your things and follow the directions to get out of here."

An arrow appeared at their feet.

Ten minutes later, they returned to the ancient Rune classroom, their faces still dazed and dazed.

"That's it? Haven't you collected the keys yet?"

On the podium, Felix smiled at them: "There are still a few minutes before get out of class. In order to avoid you being late, I have to interrupt this adventure. But don't worry-"

"You will be there for the rest of the school year. In addition to the task of collecting four keys, you will also encounter many strange, simple and interesting little tasks..."

"Like that treasure map?"

"That's right, Jeffrey," Felix said. "The assignment for this class is to analyze the rune you encounter and complete a paper no less than a foot long."
