Chapter 709: The Iron Armor Curse, the Lost Sirius
This letter is not particularly long. Excluding greetings and the like, the actual part about the curse is less than two pieces of parchment, but the content inside is difficult to understand. Even with the comparison diagram given by Dumbledore, Kyle It must also be considered over and over again.
At the same time, he also took out his magic wand and tried various combinations of magic words.
Dots of magic words floated out from the wand and gathered together to form new symbols. Vaguely, there seemed to be a layer of transparent net around Kyle, but it soon shattered and disappeared.
"No, it's not this..." Kyle frowned and quickly flipped through the translation chart.
Because he was so focused, Kyle didn't even notice that the sky outside had already gotten brighter.
Before he knew it, Kyle had been sitting at the table all night.
Until noon the next day...
Fred, who came back from Diagon Alley for lunch, looked at an empty chair in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, how long has Kyle been in the room?"
"Almost the whole day," Harry said. "The light in his room was always on last night, and he didn't come out for breakfast this morning."
"What the hell is he doing?" George asked.
"I don't know," Ron said. "We tried to call him in the morning, but mother and Sirius wouldn't let us."
"This is what Dumbledore ordered before he left." At this time, Mrs. Weasley put a plate of toast on the table, "If there is nothing important, don't disturb Kyle."
"I know, and you've said it many times," Ron muttered under his breath.
"Then you have to remember." Mrs. Weasley glared at Ron, and then looked worriedly at the direction of the stairs outside the door.
Apparently she was also a little worried about Kyle, who hadn't eaten all day.
"But it's only less than a day now, so it should be fine." Mrs. Weasley thought to herself, because of Dumbledore's instructions, she could only wait for Kyle to come out.
This wait is another afternoon.
It wasn't until 7:30, when everyone was preparing to have dinner, that Kyle staggered downstairs.
Diana said yesterday that the contents on the parchment could only be stored for one day.
I have to say, this is really on time.
Just now, the contents on the parchment disappeared at a certain moment. Along with it, there are also the memories of those ancient runes in his head.
But there is also good news.
Although the process disappears, the results remain.
This feeling was like an exam. He couldn't remember the content of the paper or what he wrote, but the final score was real... and it was a very good score.
After suddenly relaxing, Kyle, who hadn't eaten for a day, felt dizzy. What I saw was even more flickering.
When Kyle finally came downstairs to the dining room, Mrs. Weasley just happened to place a plate of baked pies on the table.
Kyle didn't care about hot hands and politeness, picked up a pie and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You're finally out." Mrs. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief and served Kyle another bowl of soup. "Eat slowly and don't be in a hurry. I've made a lot."
……
Kyle ate a total of three pies and two bowls of soup before he felt better, but he just felt less hungry.
It had to be said that studying ancient runes was really a physically demanding job. He felt like he hadn't eaten in three days rather than in one day.
"Kyle, what are you doing in the room?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
"Study Merlin's letter." Kyle said casually.
As the content on the parchment disappeared, the strange restrictions before disappeared. For example, now he could speak naturally about what he was doing, instead of saying no like he did last night. come out.
"Merlin's letter?" Hermione's voice became shrill and high-pitched, "That's from someone fifteen hundred years ago."
"It's not the original letter." Kyle explained: "It was rubbed with magic."
"Is it the one your mother gave you last night..." Hermione suddenly thought of the birthday gift Diana gave Kyle last night.
She thought about many possibilities, including advanced magic spells, ancient documents... but she never expected that it was related to Merlin.
"Can you let me have a look?" Hermione stared at Kyle expectantly, "Just a glance."
"Sorry, the letter was protected by magic and disappeared just now." Kyle shrugged and picked up another piece of pie. "And I forgot the content on it. I only remember that it was in ancient runes that have not been simplified. written."
"Ancient runes, simplified?" Hermione was a little confused.
She really couldn't connect those words, which were so complicated that she felt dizzy at a glance, with simplification.
"That's it..." Kyle handed Hermione the book Dumbledore had given him.
Hermione's brows furrowed since she turned the first page.
Harry and Ron also glanced curiously, but the next second, they both looked away in unison.
They didn't even recognize a single symbol on that page, and even looking at it gave them a headache. It was hard to imagine how Kyle had been looking at it all day.
"Wait..." Fred suddenly thought of something, "You just said you forgot the content. Didn't you waste the whole day in vain?"
"Of course not." Kyle swallowed the last bite of the pie and took another piece of baked potato, "That is a teaching letter, probably written by Merlin to his apprentice. I have already learned the magic mentioned above. "
There was a sudden intake of breath in the restaurant. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
Finally it was Fred and George who broke the silence.
"What's the curse?"
"Is it very powerful?"
They both asked at the same time.
"It's a kind of armor spell," Kyle said. "It's not very powerful. It's mainly for protecting yourself."
Fred and George looked a little disappointed. Merlin's magic should be powerful and destructive, and it would be best to directly get rid of Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
"I would say the Iron Armor Curse is the best." Mrs. Weasley glanced at them, and then said to Kyle: "Diana must want you to protect your own safety, so she found this for you. of."
"That's right." Mr. Weasley also agreed: "That is Merlin's letter. I have never heard of anyone getting such a thing. It must be very precious."
"Perhaps Professor Dumbledore has also seen it." Ginny said next to her: "Do you remember what he said last night? He seemed to understand Kyle's situation at the time and what he needed. He must have experienced it. "
"But how many Dumbledores are there in the wizarding world?" Mr. Weasley said.
"Can we take a look at the effect?" At this time, Sirius, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it."
