Chapter 697 Fairy Tale Book

Before, when Hogsmeade built this kind of temporary residence, they prepared some simple furniture and did some processing. For example, in the workshops needed by wizards, some simple protection spells will be specially applied to this house, but the furniture in the house is very simple, with only a shelf, a table and a chair.

But now, after Ryan and the others entered the door, they found that there was a book on the table that should have been empty. The book is not very big, it is about the same size as a usual textbook. But the whole book looks worn out, the black cover is spotted and peeled off in several places.

After checking it several times with magic from a distance, after making sure that there is nothing abnormal or harmful in the book. Ryan and the others walked to the table, then stepped forward and began to look at the old book on the table.

The Tales of Beedle the Poet, why this book? Hermione had read this book before, and she didn't know why someone brought them here and put this book here, after all, this book In the wizarding world, basically every family will have a copy, similar to Andersen's Fairy Tales or Grimm's Fairy Tales in the Muggle world. It seems strange to use an anonymous letter for this book to attract them things.

This book is a little different from ordinary books. Ryan picked up the book on the table and looked at it carefully. The Stories of Beedle the Poet in our hands seems to be the earliest batch, written in runes, because many books have been deleted and revised in the later period, and I recognize this one now The origin of the book is because I once saw a book similar to this book in Professor Dumbledore's.

Why do you want to delete the contents of these books? Hermione was a little puzzled. It's just a storybook! Although the content is very different from the fairy tales we read when we were young, it looks positive and sunny on the whole, and it is also very suitable for children to read. I don't think any of the stories here need was deleted.

There's nothing wrong with this book for us, but for wizards who rule the wizarding world, some of the stories in this book are clearly pro-Muggle. Early fifth century.

Early 15th century? As a student who got an O in History of Magic, Hermione immediately thought of what happened in that era. You mean, because of the witch hunt?

Indeed, at that time the persecution of wizards was intensifying in Europe. So much so that many in the wizarding world felt that casting a spell on the plague pig of their Muggle neighbor next door was tantamount to actively adding firewood to their own fire. .So this book seemed a bit out of date after it was born that year, so some wizards changed the content of the book to make it have an obvious anti-Muggle stance.

For example, in the set of books I found at Sirius' house, I changed the story of helping ordinary people to the story of ordinary people persecuting wizards, and then the living cauldron ate ordinary people. Ryan explained.

Racial hatred, racial strife, and the cauldron cannibalism? I think that's the kind of story that really isn't suitable for children, Hermione commented. What is the education of children from pure-blood families?

And at that time, some people even thought that any wizard who chose to be friendly with Muggles would be considered weak in magic and inferior in skills. For example, Brutus Malfoy, the direct ancestor of the Malfoy family, wrote in an anti-Muggle magazine Wizards at War wrote: We can say with certainty that any wizard who expresses liking to Muggle society is a person of low intelligence, whose magic is weak and vulnerable, and can only be found in Muggle waste. A little bit of superiority.

Of course, we now know that he is completely talking nonsense. Ryan spread his hands. I can assure you that I can defeat the Malfoy family of three by myself now, and the wealth we have now far exceeds the accumulation of the Malfoy family over the centuries.

Hermione covered her mouth and laughed softly after hearing what Ryan said, and Ryan lit an oil lamp in the room, and then flipped through the collection of fairy tales page by page by the light of the oil lamp. Soon Hermione also recovered and leaned over to read the book with Ryan.

The person who left this book is a bit strange. Ryan said after flipping through the entire book, It may be to match the cover and content of the book. All the messages in it are actually ancient runes. If it weren't for me before If I had received the inheritance, I still wouldn’t be able to understand these things.”

This means that the former owner of this book is likely to be a pure-blood wizard with some history in the family. Hermione said, As far as I know, the party of the pure-blood wizard family chooses to learn ancient runes as a way to show their identity. How to do it. Just like the nobles in England who learn Latin or Greek, when we took the ancient magic text course, all the rest except the two of us were wizards from pure-blood families.

What you said makes sense. Ryan opened a page of the book, then pointed to a line of runes and said to Hermione. You see, the main comments in this book are concentrated on the pages of the wizard and the jumping pot. For example, in the title, he wrote: Is this just a fairy tale? The same sentence is in the last three brothers. It also appeared once in the story, but there was an extra Deathly Hallows logo.

That is to say, this person wants to remind us that it is true to jump the pot. Hermione pointed her chin with her finger and said, But what does this have to do with us? In this kind of war situation, it is impossible for us to Treasure hunting and adventure!

The other party's going around such a big circle is definitely not to tell us an adventure clue, Ryan said with certainty, For example, there are two other messages on the story page of Tiaotiaoguo, one of which is that every Everyone dreams of obtaining such a magical treasure. Another place says that magic is power.

It seems that this should indeed be left to us by some pure-blood family, otherwise it would not be written like this. Hermione said, Then what are we going to do now, are we using magic to track that person?

Of course, it can't be that everyone finds the door and doesn't know what's going on? Ryan shrugged. I also know that the whole trouble just now was to prevent us from finding him, but I don't think that guy knows that our research on soul and space has surpassed most people. When I got the book, I I have started tracking, and now I can basically lock the opponent's position.

Then shall we go find that guy now? Hermione asked, with an eager expression on her face. In the three months since the war broke out until now, she has completely mastered her own abilities, and at the same time, under the influence of the power of death, she has begun to have a little feeling for the battle, so she has some feelings about this possible surprise attack. interest.

Let's find it the day after tomorrow, Ryan said. These two days are Christmas holidays. I think it's more appropriate for us to rest for two days. Anyway, I have basically locked the identity and location of the other party now, and I can basically determine who that guy is.

Have you confirmed the other party's identity and location? This is really good news. Hermione nodded, she could guess that Ryan dared to guarantee the other party's position and identity so swearingly, probably because he found the other party's appearance after locking the other party's position In the manor of a pure-blood family.

Although they attacked several pure-blood family manors before, the main target was the plantation. After all, their goal is to cut off each other's economic sources, not to kill for the sake of killing.

At the same time, in the attack on the manor, every time they attacked the manor Ryan, they would always leave a text afterwards to explain the reason for their attack, such as punishing the black wizard who killed innocent people indiscriminately, or saving the held hostages.

Under such circumstances, some fringe Death Eaters who did not participate in the indiscriminate killing of innocents and the manor did not hold hostages still chose to live at home. After all, according to the history of previous attacks, Ryan did not kill any innocent people by mistake during the attack.

Therefore, those marginalized Death Eaters who could not give up their homes because of the wealth and knowledge at home can only choose to entrust the lives of the whole family on the integrity of Ryan, the enemy. The person who sent the anonymous letter traced by the trace should be one of these fringe Death Eaters.
