In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 226

  Chapter 226 224. Things under the slate

  Maybe he is using the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman.

   But Jon knew very well that knowing everything about Voldemort would not only affect him alone.

   He couldn't be too cautious, at least until he saw what was under the slate, he had no way to be sure whether Sir Stoke would treat them like he did now.

  After the whole afternoon of the day, Sir Stoke followed Jon, watching him eliminate the magic power on the slate without leaving.

  But just as Jon expected, Sir Stoke stopped following him early the next morning.

  He greeted Jon, and then sorted out some information and star maps in the office under the top of the tower, so that Jon could call him whenever he needed anything.

   And Jon was waiting for this opportunity.

  Yesterday he deliberately slowed down, and only a quarter of the rune on the slate was absorbed, but since this morning, he didn't hold back any more, and solved half of the rune's magic power in one morning.

The original light blue gemstone has obviously become ruddy. Although it is not as blood-red as the one just obtained in the Hogwarts library, the magic power on the stone plate is still half full, and it is completely absorbed. Walking should be able to reach the point where the amount is not bad.

  The main reason is that the magic quality of the people who wrote these rune texts is too high, even far exceeding the magic power of the wizards who created those forbidden books in the library.

  The huge magic power not only filled the magic power in the ring gem, but also revealed the forbidden books that had lost their magic power support.

  Before, Jon was on the carriage, relying on the magic power of students under the fourth grade, but only retrieved a banned book about Shenfeng Wuying compiled by Snape, and he didn't get any more banned books.

  But now the contents of these books are all in the gems, allowing him to read them, which is even more unexpected.

   It's just that what Jon values ​​most is the slate itself.

  After lunch was settled, Sir Stoke asked Jon about the progress, and Jon had nothing to hide about this.

  He truthfully informed that half of the runes on the slate had been solved, but he didn't say that as long as half of them were solved, it would be almost the same, but that the result would be available as soon as tomorrow morning.

   Sir Stoke didn't have any doubts about this. He really didn't seem to have a deep understanding of magic other than astronomy.

In fact, Neville and the others didn't have any missions in the tower. Jon didn't let them return to the ship because he didn't want Sir Stoke to see the problem. If there is any accident, I will bear it myself.

"I am willing to accept that you can help, but you also have to promise me that if something happens while I am away, you must go back to the ship first, and at least let those of us who stay on the ship know what happened in the tower .”

   Facing Jon's serious admonition, Neville made a promise.

   In terms of the overall situation, Neville is still the most reassuring. His current personality is not like a Gryffindor, but more like Hufflepuff.

  Back to the top of the tower, and continued to work on those runes for more than an hour, the stone slab finally showed signs of loosening.

  Although some of the thousands of runes still shimmered with magic power, the connection between the runes and the runes has been completely cut off. The blocking magic that should have been effective is now completely ineffective.

  Jon relaxed his brows slightly, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then slowly took the stone slab off the wall.

   And under the stone slab is a narrow hole, and inside the hole is a wooden box shining brightly.

  Jon didn't hesitate. He took out the wooden box from the hole. The box was not locked and could be opened directly.

  The things hidden in the box are very simple, a piece of rolled, old parchment, and a paper tube that looks like a bottle has been corked.

  He first picked up the parchment, spread out the whole piece of paper, and quickly scanned the contents on it.

It's just that the words written on it are all in French. Jon is not a multilingual genius. He couldn't understand the content at all. His eyes quickly moved down, and soon his eyes fixed on a name in the lower left corner of the parchment. .

   This should be some kind of magical contract, and the signature on the contract signer is in English that Jon can understand. Coincidentally, this English name is very familiar to him!

  【Tom Riddle】

  Jon held his breath subconsciously, and he guessed right.

  The thing hidden under the stone slab was indeed related to Voldemort. Although he couldn't see what was written on the parchment for the time being, Jon put it in his arms without hesitation.

  His behavior can be said to be stealing, but even if it is stealing, he must find out the above content, and then determine whether Sir Stoke can be trusted.

   Just as he hid the parchment and was about to pick up the paper tube and open it, there was a sound of going upstairs behind him.

Jon's reaction was very calm, and his movements were quick. He quickly opened the lid of the paper tube, and after glancing at the contents, he immediately put it back in place, and then covered it with a stone slab. Turn around and walk towards the stairs.

  When he came to the stairs, Sir Stoke happened to climb up too.

   "I was just going to find you, sir, and I have good news." Jon pretended to be nonchalant and said, "More than half of the runes on the stone slab have been deciphered, and the blocking magic attached to it has been invalidated."

  Sir Stoke's face clearly showed excitement, and he walked quickly towards the direction of the stone slab.

   "Then what are you waiting for? Let's see who is hiding what in my house!"

  He couldn't wait to come to the stone slab, then took out the wooden box in front of Jon, and opened him.

  Looking at the paper tube inside the box, Sir Stoke had a solemn expression on his face. He took out the paper tube, opened the lid and poured out the contents.

   It was a glass bottle like a test tube, and a silver liquid was stored in the bottle.

  Those that are said to be liquid are more like smoke, floating in the bottle like a dream.

   "What is this? A potion?"

  Jon has been paying attention to Sir Stoke, and the expression changes after seeing this bottle of something like a potion, but he can only see the confusion on Sir Stoke's face, and he doesn't notice any other abnormalities.

   He narrowed his eyes and said softly.

   "It does look like a potion."
