In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 215

  Chapter 215 213. Runic Slate

  The scenery on the high tower is very good, but Sir Stoke brought Jon this trip, obviously not just for the scenery.

  They came to a stone wall, which looked no different from other places, but after Sir Stoke gently pushed the outermost stone, a stone slab that was obviously different from other places was revealed.

   It was a black stone slab as a whole, with densely packed, invisible characters carved on it.

  Jon didn't lie before. When he was lurking in Hogwarts Castle, in order to understand the “slave contract” signed by the hemp students in the castle, he did study the ancient runes for a period of time.

But this kind of research that is only out of interest and does not last long at all is impossible for him to have any outstanding achievements, so he can only barely recognize which language the words in front of him belong to. Know the general meaning of some words and sentences.

"This slab was discovered by me five years ago. I stumbled across it during an astronomical observation. You will recall that I told you last night, when we first met, that the tower, although It was left to me by my family, but in fact, those elders even forgot that there is such a place.”

  Sir Stoke suddenly stopped talking on this stone slab strangely, but chatted about the history of this tower.

"It wasn't that high when I first came here. There were only 20 floors above the sea, and the rest of the height of nearly 50 floors was all by myself after I came here and settled down. It was built. It took nearly 20 years in total, and it was not fully completed until 1976."

  Jon frowned slightly, hearing the implication of why he wanted to introduce this.

   "That is to say, the top of the tower we are at now was actually built by you eighteen years ago?"

   "To be precise, it was twenty years ago." Sir Stoke said seriously, "Before 1974, I had already completed this position, and the next two years were mainly for the layout of each floor."

   The two-year gap doesn't make a difference to the problems that this event itself creates.

   "This floor was newly built in 1974, but 5 years ago, I suddenly discovered that there was such a stone slab hidden behind the wall that you knew nothing about?"

  Jon stared into Sir Stoke's eyes, as if he suddenly wanted to understand something.

  Sir Stoke nodded with gloomy eyes.

"This is the problem. Although this tower has a long history, I can be sure that every piece of material from the twenty-seventh floor onwards was made by myself with magic and built on this tower. I can I must have left nothing hidden on this floor at the beginning, and I have never brought any outsiders here before, but just five years ago, I discovered this stone slab full of ancient runes."

  His voice was deep and his face looked ugly.

  When something like this happens, of course no one can feel better. A home that I built with my own hands suddenly discovered something that I had never seen before one day.

  Think about it from another angle, it's like your own home, a private bedroom that basically won't allow outsiders to come in and visit, and suddenly find a book under the pillow that you have never read or touched

  This will inevitably cause people to have a great sense of panic and insecurity. Ordinary books can't harm people, but no one can guarantee the safety of a slate full of ancient runes.

   No matter who thought of it at the first time, it can only be that someone sneaked in.

  Sir Stoke thinks so, and Jon thinks so now.

  From last night to now, he has been looking for what Voldemort did when he came here.

   But judging from the performance of the owner of the tower, Sir Stoke, he doesn't seem to know Voldemort at all, and he never remembers that someone visited him during that month.

   But this slate obviously appeared during this time interval, and Jon has reason to suspect that Voldemort avoided the old knight and sneaked into this tower.

Of course, based on the strength that Sir Stoke has expressed to himself so far, Voldemort should be able to kill him easily, but for some reason, his life was spared, but he was secretly doing something in this tower. Some unnoticed changes have been made.

  The stone slab full of ancient runes that Sir Stoke accidentally discovered five years ago is a kind of proof.

  The two can be logically linked together. Although it cannot be absolute, the possibility is very high.

  From Sir Stoke's point of view, it can be explained why he was so impatient after learning that Jon was a professor at the magic school.

  If he wants to catch the person who sneaked into the castle secretly, his only direction is this stone slab.

   But according to himself, he only has research on astronomy, and in other magic fields, he is at the level of ordinary wizards, so he has no way to start with this slate full of ancient runes.

  So, he needs the help of a professional, and Jon's current status is a professional "professor" who can no longer be professional.

  As for why the jazz didn't go directly to the land to find someone to answer when he encountered such a thing, it probably has his own reasons.

   "So, sir, you want my help to decipher what is written on this slate and investigate the origin of this thing?" Jon asked.

  Sir Stoke nodded solemnly.

"You should be able to understand what I'm thinking now. I can't accept that this kind of thing will happen in such a place where I have been living and living all my life. I must investigate the origin of this stone slab clearly, so I need your help, Professor Johnson."

  Jon looked at the slate and asked the question in his heart.

   "Since you discovered this stone slab five years ago, why didn't you go back to land to find someone who specializes in rune research to answer it during this period?"

  Sir Stoke took a deep breath, and he said seriously.

   "I once swore that if I don't complete my research goals, I will never leave this tower in my life."

  Jon had a clear expression on his face.

   Think about it too, who would plan to spend their whole life in such a place where there is no communication with the outside world when they have nothing to do?

   Unless you really have a deep obsession with something.

   From the top of the tower where they are now, it can be seen that Sir Stoke's oath should be related to the starry sky above his head.
