Chapter 224 222 Being an Astronaut
Chapter 224 222. Become an astronaut
"Get off the planet!"
Sir Stoker's voice became slightly more passionate.
"They created a machine structure called a rocket. Through the power generated by the burning of objects, it got rid of the constraints of the ground and flew upward until it completely flew out of the ground and went to the land that wizards have always looked up to. , but no one can reach the starry sky!”
It was obviously the first time for Neville and Ron to know about this matter. They could not understand the previous discussion on philosophy between Jon and Sir Stoker, but they could understand what Sir John said now. .
"Have they gone to other stars?" Ron asked with his eyes widened.
"They've had people on the moon, and the machines they've created have even reached Mars."
Sir Stoker said with bright eyes. He looked like he wanted to leave the wizarding world immediately and join the Muggle astronauts to become an astronaut.
"But no wizard in the magical world has ever had such an idea, so astronomical scholars have always used the telescope placed on the ground to observe."
Jon said with relief.
"Magic gives wizards convenience, but it also restricts some thoughts. This is not a question of whether the wizard wants it or not."
"I have always felt that even after so long, the main theme of the magical world is still centered around bloodline and status disputes. This is very shameful."
Sir Stoker said without mercy.
"The mystery of magic should not be limited to this. Our innate ability should not be wasted on how to kill our own kind, but should seek progress and explore the world, not just the ground we are on. , but the truth of everything.”
From the moment he met this knight until now, the impression he left on Jon was more like a cynical scholar than an aristocratic wizard.
This kind of person is really rare in the magic world, because magic is the foundation of wizards. The main content studied by most wizard scholars is related to spells, transformations, magic potions or magical animals and herbs, and rarely Some people focus on the so-called truth about the world.
In fact, it is also because wizards can affect matter through their own will, which results in them not being so interested in matter and lacking motivation to explore it.
And Sir Stoker is obviously the "weirdo" among wizards.
He was obviously from a wizarding family, but he was more like a Muggle scientist who first studied natural science, then became a monk halfway and then came into contact with magic.
After continuing to chat with Sir Stoker about Muggle philosophy and scientific development at the dinner table, Rabil took Jon and Neville to take a lunch break in the tower where they had been prepared to rest. .
After being brought to the place, the elf Rabiel did not stay long. The tower was so big and it was responsible for a lot of work. He had no time to follow Jon and the others like this.
After he left, Jon summoned all five of Neville and the others to his room. He first checked the room up and down to make sure there were no moving portraits or other means of surveillance. He asked seriously road.
"What did you discover this morning?"
Before lunch, the girls who explored the lower part of the tower had already exchanged their results with the boys who explored the upper part, so Neville shook his head and said.
"We basically walked through all the floors of this tower, but we didn't find anything special. If we insist on saying it's weird, there are a lot of black cats in this tower. We encountered a lot of them. Yu seven."
Jon rubbed his chin in thought.
"Did those black cats show anything special?"
Ron shook his head.
"No, apart from the fact that these cats don't meow very much and often stare at people silently in corners, which is a bit scary, they are just like ordinary cats and don't show anything special."
Hermione looked hesitant, but finally spoke.
"When Luna and I went down to the foyer on the first floor again, we suspected that there were actually floors under the sea. Just when we were trying to find a passage, the house elf suddenly came over. We asked him about this matter, and he Tell us that the part of the tower in the sea is solid, has no floors, and no one can enter.”
Jon frowned slightly when he heard Hermione's words.
"Did the elf have any reaction on his face when he discovered that you were looking for the passage below?"
Luna replied.
"No, he didn't seem to be lying or trying to stop us."
Luna's feeling should be accurate, but despite her words, Hermione's guess still made Jon suspicious.
They are now in the depths of the Norwegian Sea. The average depth of this sea area is more than 1,500 meters. If the tower wants to take root on the seabed, a long part of it must be hidden in the seawater.
Thinking about it, Jon raised his head and said to Li.
"Now you say that you want to go back to the ship to explain some things on my behalf, and then go back to find Nick and ask him to help him dive into the sea to see what the part of the tower in the sea looks like."
Li nodded solemnly, and then he left the room.
Neville said tentatively.
"Actually, I don't think this jazz guy looks like a bad guy, and I feel like he is actually..."
"A bit innocent?" Jon answered Neville's unsaid words.
"Yes."
"This lord is definitely a bit naive. We have known each other for less than a day since we visited him yesterday evening, but he has already talked to us so much."
Jon said.
"If I were a wizard who insisted on pure blood theory, I might have already clashed with him based on his good feelings towards Muggles just now."
Neville seemed a little guilty.
"He trusts us so much, and we are still doing these little tricks in his house. Isn't it not good?"
Jon patted his shoulder.
"I can understand your thoughts, Neville, but it is precisely because the lord is good to us that we should find out what the problem is in this tower. This is not only to help us but also to help him."
He comforted Neville, but Jon actually had an inexplicable doubt in his heart.
So far, the information they found after coming to this tower is very simple, but also straightforward and useful.
For example, as long as the stone slab on the top of the tower is uncovered, the answer left by Voldemort in this tower can be obtained.
But the more this is the case, the more it feels wrong.
Did the dark devil really go to so much trouble to come to this tower and write those magic words just to hide something?
