Chapter 46: Finding a Different Way

Well, one can imagine the result. He failed. This is not a secret door. Presumably, if this is a secret door, then how could a being like Ravenclaw not do some means to let the magic here? The traces are buried.

However, if there isn't a secret door or something, then why is there such a strong trace of magic?

It almost had more traces of magic than the Room of Requirement itself.

You know, as long as magic is used, it will definitely leave traces. Although a skilled wizard cannot clearly know where these traces come from and how strong or weak they are, they can feel whether there are traces of magic here.

At this time, Feeney relied on the magical perspective brought by Jonathan's echo to have a sensitivity far beyond that of most wizards. He knew the strength of the magic traces. Although he was still not sure what kind of magic these traces were caused by, these traces of magic , essentially a pointer.

Therefore, in Feeney's opinion, the only thing in this alchemy laboratory that might be related to the Ravenclaw heritage treasure is this empty shelf.

However, this shelf is neither a secret door nor a door key, nor does it have any traces of other magical rituals.

This gave Feeney a headache. None of these things existed, so where did such strong traces of magic come from?

Why can't my own magic perspective be more detailed than the specific source of magic traces?

Feeney thought with some regret,

Finny, who couldn't find a clue, sat helplessly on the table in a corner of the laboratory.

It was a desk, very close to the shelf, right next to the shelf. There was a chair behind the desk, but Feeney was too lazy to walk over and sat directly on the table.

"So what on earth am I going to do?"

Feeney muttered with a headache while continuing to stare at this very suspicious shelf. He believed that his magical perspective and speculation were correct. There must be something wrong with this shelf in this laboratory.

The biggest question is still that, why should an empty shelf be fixed to the wall?

Since it's not a shelf problem, could it be a wall problem?

Countless possibilities flashed through Feeney's mind, waiting for him to eliminate them one by one until he found the final correct answer.

Time gradually passed, and Feeney finally determined that this shelf was really an ordinary shelf, and those strong traces of magic that had lasted for thousands of years actually came from the wall behind the shelf.

"Split into pieces!"

The wand drew a beautiful arc in the air against the shelf and wall, and the bright pink light flew towards the shelf fixed to the wall.

Just as Guang Mang was about to hit the shelf, a translucent light mask appeared on the surface of the shelf to offset Fini's splitting spell.

It was a protective spell. Although it was impossible to determine which spell it was, it was obvious that Ms. Ravenclaw did not want others to use such a method to force the passage.

The emergence of this phenomenon gave Finny a shot in the arm. This place is indeed related to Ravenclaw's inherited treasure. Otherwise, such a protective spell would not be released.

The simplest known defensive spell is the Iron Armor Curse. Of course, this simplicity is relative. For young wizards, the Iron Armor Curse is also difficult.

The more difficult part is the spells such as all-in-one blessings and patron saints.

The effect that Feeney saw just now was obviously not the defensive spell he was familiar with. If it were just a shelf with a secret, Ms. Ravenclaw would not be able to cast such a spell that would still be effective after a thousand years.

"Then if the Split Curse doesn't work, I guess other spells won't work either."

Feeney looked at the situation just now, nodded and said.

"Since Ms. Ravenclaw doesn't want to use magic to open this place, there must be a way that doesn't require magic. But, what is this way?"

Finny suddenly felt a headache. He was not a Ravenclaw, he was a Slytherin through and through. Isn't this scene that requires brain decryption a joke?

After complaining in return, he still had to consider what he had overlooked.

This embarrassing situation of having a clue but having no clue made Feeney very irritated and even had the idea of ​​turning over the table.

It is true that his magic has no effect on the taboos left by Ravenclaw, but what about others? Or rather, of other creatures.

"Puff!"

Feeney snapped his fingers and said,

With a pop, Puff's figure appeared next to Feeney and bowed to Feeney.

"Master,"

Feeney nodded lightly and pointed at the shelf and said,

"Keep that shelf separate from that wall,"

Puff nodded,

"Okay, Master,"

After saying that, he snapped his fingers out of thin air.

There were visible magic energy fluctuations on the shelf in front of me, as if various magics were constantly impacting the defensive magic.

Finally, the translucent mask vibrated violently and then disappeared.

The empty shelf floated under Puff's control and completely separated from the wall that was originally fixed together.

Sure enough, Finny's idea is right. The magic of wizards and elves are two completely different things.

They also rely on the power of blood to activate magic. As magical creatures, the magic of house elves must be stronger than that of ordinary wizards.

And no matter how powerful Ravenclaw's defensive magic is, it is also aimed at wizards. There must be some loopholes when facing the magic of the elves.

Of course, if Puff can't separate the shelf from the wall, then Finny plans to use the Muggle method,

which is to separate the shelf from the wall physically, in short, decoration.

Ignoring the shelf controlled by Puff, Finny walked to the wall.

Sure enough, in the place covered by the shelf before, there was a very complicated pattern on the white wall, and there was a small groove in the center of the pattern.

"Master, there is a rune symbol on this shelf!"

At this time, Puff suddenly spoke,

Finny was stunned and asked,

"What does it mean?"

Runes are the most commonly used type of ancient magic text, also known as runes. It is said that Odin discovered a magical text after sacrificing one of his eyes with the world tree.

However, in today's magic world, few people can use runes to cast spells. Most ancient magic experts regard this language as a foreign language, a lost language to be restored and learned.
