Chapter 104 Gems in the Book 102

Chapter 104 102. Gems in the Book

When Professor Adrian Fox came to Hogwarts to teach, his research on rings and gems had reached the final stage.

And the gem made in Hogwarts is the last of the five.

People always like to save their most precious things for the last, and Adrian is no exception. When making this last gem, he did not follow the usual techniques, but wanted to add a little different characteristics to the stone.

[The ring and the stone are a transit station for casting spells. The wizard's own magic power is absorbed into the ring, and then fed back to the wizard himself as a fact of change. Then why when creating this kind of spellcasting equipment, the idea must be limited to the magic power of the person using the equipment? ]

[Compared with the wand core, the magic gem I created has a stronger magic capacity. Why not try to accommodate other magic power as a driving force for wizards using the ring to strengthen their spellcasting? 】

[The magic of the ring acts on the wizard himself, and the enemy's spell also acts on the wizard himself, so can the effect of the hostile spell be erased, and only the magic power in it is collected and stored in the gem? 】

This is the question that Adrian asked himself in the notes, and it was also the original intention of what kind of characteristics he planned to add to the last magic gem he made.

There is a huge collection of books in Hogwarts Castle, and the knowledge in it gave him enough magic theory to support his ideas. The resources of various herbs and magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are also rich, giving him the raw materials for gem transformation.

Later, the reason why he was injured at the end of his tenure as a defense professor was to collect materials for gem transformation. He went deep into the Forbidden Forest to obtain some debris from the unicorn horn. As a result, when scraping, he was resisted by the unicorn and was directly stabbed in the stomach.

Fortunately, he was discovered by students in time and sent to St. Mungo for treatment. Finally, he returned to school during the final exam, but he also left sequelae and could not continue to teach in the castle.

However, after paying such a price, his research was finally successful. For some reason, the gem that was endowed with the ability to absorb and store magic power was left in Hogwarts Castle.

And the place where it was stored was in the library.

When he saw this, Jon seemed to suddenly think of something, and he was suddenly stunned.

Before Christmas, when he was still practicing various spells against the basilisk in the Room of Requirement, he accidentally overheard a major event that happened in Hogwarts at midnight.

The books in the forbidden area of ​​the library, the magic attached to them all disappeared inexplicably!

In the end, the professors in the entire castle investigated for more than half a month, and even invited people from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic to find out the matter, so they could only let it go.

Then. Could this matter be related to the gem that Adrian hid in the library?

If there is a connection, why did nothing happen after hiding it for more than ten years, but now the magic on the banned books has been eaten up?

Jon couldn't figure out the problem for the time being, but he was keenly aware that the gem hidden in the library might be the key to solving the three portraits in the tower!

Since it can absorb all the magic power from the banned books in the library, why can't it also absorb the magic power from the magic portraits?

After figuring this out, Jon couldn't sit still in the dormitory.

He was still having a headache about how to solve the three paintings. Now the key to solving the problem is exactly what he has been looking for. Jon didn't wait any longer. He put on his invisibility cloak again and left the underground dormitory.

The library of Hogwarts is in a separate tower. Quirrell is in charge of this place. He didn't get much punishment for the last banned book incident. After all, it's not his fault. If it wasn't for the scheduled inventory, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the banned book area.

There are no protective measures for the door of the library, not to mention that the remaining banned books have been moved away, leaving only some books that students usually read, so there is no need for protection.

The locked door was easily opened by Jon with the unlocking spell. After entering the door, what came into view was a long row of neatly arranged desks. Bookshelves stood next to the desks, which were filled with various books.

Jon did not stay here. He turned around and closed the door of the library and walked in. Soon he came to a separately fenced area.

This area was also full of bookshelves, but there was not a single book on the bookshelves. This was obviously the previous forbidden book area, but now students can enter and exit freely, after all, there is no book in it.

Jon directly crossed the fenced line. Although all the banned books were moved away, the gem left by Adrian must still be in this library.

Otherwise, the professors in the castle would not have gained nothing in the end, and there would be no way to give Voldemort an explanation.

Moreover, the place where the gem was stored was also very hidden. If Jon did not know the location from the notes, he could not guarantee that he could find it in the remaining less than half a year.

Jon walked in until he came to the third row of bookshelves from the back, and then he counted the partitions from left to right from the fourth row. He stopped at the seventh partition.

He drew out his wand, and without chanting any spells, he just gently tapped the vertical surface of the partition with the tip of his wand. A hole opened up magically, and a heavy book was hidden in the partition.

Jon pulled the book out of the partition. He did not take it back to the dormitory. The library had a lot of space and was far away from the living area of ​​students and professors. If he had any accidents when opening the book, it would be much easier to solve than taking it back to the dormitory.

This book had no name. He opened the book and saw a passage left by Professor Fox on the title page.

[I am willing to accept the loss. Because of the bet with Horace, I left my research results in Hogwarts. Since you opened it, no matter who you are, I hope you will not use my results for black magic research. 】

He looked at the message carefully for three or four seconds before turning the page.

There were more than a dozen pages of detailed introduction to the gem. When Jon turned to the middle of the book, he found that the pages at the back were completely glued shut.

And in the middle of these glued pages was a diamond-shaped, deep red gem!

I was stuck for two hours, and I sorted out the plot for about an hour before I started writing. As a result, it was already 4:30. I finally finished writing and went to sleep.
