Chapter 300 300. Ravenclaw tutor's satisfaction
"I never understood Medea's purpose."
Scott frowned.
"During the contract challenge, she ordered two wizards to ambush me in the Forbidden Forest, and they wanted to take my life."
He started pacing from side to side.
"But she left me a gift when she left Hogwarts, and I have to say it was very precious."
Having said this, he looked at the Ravenclaw in the painting.
"Go on," Ravenclaw said with a smile.
"She seems to want to win over me because she is optimistic about my future?" Scott still frowned, "Her attitude is not tough, but she often makes some calculating moves..."
"And you've managed it," Ravenclaw said.
Scott nodded.
Although I have dealt with it for the time being, I can't say how good it will be in the future.
People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, and Scott always feels like he doesn't know when he will be hit.
Just like this time, he has even been tricked.
Medea's existence also kept him in suspense, which was an unpleasant feeling.
"She is indeed very optimistic about your future." Ravenclaw said meaningfully, "But it is not easy to tame an eagle that yearns for freedom."
Scott looked strange when he heard this.
The Ravenclaw tutor's words reminded him of the eagle he had seen online in his previous life.
Boiling the eagle, in Old Beijing dialect, is also called boiling the big eagle. It is one of the ways to train falcons.
Because the hawk has ferocious habits and is wild and difficult to tame, hawkers will catch the hawk and keep it from sleeping. It will take several days for the hawk to lose its wild nature.
Thinking about it now, Medea's attitude towards him seems to be similar to that of Yao Ying.
Ravenclaw means the same thing. The methods for humans to tame beasts should be similar.
Medea had no intention of harming Scott, she just kept using some means to keep him alert, draw his attention, and consume his energy.
Now Scott can also imagine that the lady's methods of dealing with him will probably become more and more difficult to resist, until the day he can't stand it anymore.
Speaking of which, Medea is really optimistic about his future!
Why else would she spend so much energy dealing with a teenage wizard apprentice like him?
In this regard, Scott really wanted to shout, "How can I be so virtuous and capable!"
"It seems you have thought of it." Ravenclaw in the painting spoke again, "Then, do you understand what to do."
"I understand, mentor," Scott said.
He couldn't care too much about Medea's little moves. For him, the most important thing now was to absorb knowledge and accelerate his growth.
He had to be on guard against Medea's little moves. If he wasn't on guard, he would really get caught, and the consequences of being caught would certainly not be good.
Medea is not a normal person. If Scott is tricked, she might be disappointed with him.
Scott might even lose his life by then.
Scott could think that if he could persist, Medea would always look up to him and not use too drastic means to deal with him.
In short, this is a competition of willpower. People cannot sleep while the eagle is boiling, and conversely, the hawk is also boiling people.
"I have decided a long time ago that I want to be the freest wizard!" Scott said.
He looked at the Ravenclaw in the painting, his eyes and tone of voice were firm.
"No one can tame me." He emphasized again.
When the Ravenclaw in the painting heard this, the smile on his face became more real.
"Unfortunately, as a mentor, I don't have the ability to help you in this matter now." She said lightly, "Of course, if I had the ability, I wouldn't do that."
Scott wasn't surprised by her words.
He also smiled and said: "In order for the young eagles to learn to fly, their mothers will break their wings and push them off the cliff."
Legend has it that the seemingly cruel mother eagle breaks most of the bones in the chick's wings, which is the key to determining the chick's ability to fly freely in the vast sky in the future.
The regeneration ability of the eagle wing bones is very strong. As long as you can still endure the severe pain and keep flying after being broken, so that the wings are constantly filled with blood, they will be healed soon, and after recovery, the wings will be able to grow stronger and more powerful. .
If not, the young eagle will lose this only chance, and it will never be able to see the blue sky.
Of course, this is just a legend and not that reliable.
Scott just suddenly remembered this widely circulated inspirational story, so he used it.
After hearing what Scott said, the Ravenclaw in the painting was sitting dignifiedly on a gorgeous high-backed chair, looking down at him.
On the back of the wide chair, two open bronze eagle wings were placed at the shoulders on both sides of her body.
"Interesting." She looked at Scott and smiled, "I am becoming more and more satisfied with you as an apprentice, Scott."
"It's enough for me that you can grant me knowledge." Scott bowed lightly.
In response, Ravenclaw just nodded and said nothing more.
And Scott quickly picked up his mood and began to enter a learning state.
This time, he took out all the drawings Bill sent with the letter and began to discuss with Ravenclaw some things he didn't understand.
These magical items from the ancient Egyptian period are very interesting and of great reference to Scott.
Of course, the writing used by ancient Egyptian wizards was not runes, or even the same system as runes.
They used a kind of hieroglyphics called "divine writing", which later evolved into Coptic.
Ravenclaw was also very interested in these materials from ancient Egypt.
She told Scott that the magic of ancient Egypt was not the same as the ancient magic of Great Britain. The use of "divine writing" was not the same as the use of runes. Their alchemy was another set of theories.
"Unfortunately, I did not study this much during my lifetime." She sighed.
She was just a portrait after all, but she had all the knowledge before the real Ravenclaw left.
Of course, as a portrait of Ravenclaw, she was extremely special.
Unlike other portraits, she could add new memories and even learn some new knowledge.
But the portrait was not the real person after all, and she could not master new knowledge as quickly as the real Ravenclaw.
"Their magical creations pursued naturalness more." Scott said.
This was also the reason why Bill wrote that paper, because some magic items had no traces of manufacturing, as if they were created in an instant.
"How did they do it..."
This was the question that Scott was most concerned about.
Because such magic items seem to overlap with the ultimate Transfiguration he envisioned.
But this is not something that can be figured out by looking at the information, and Bill couldn't figure it out even after seeing the real thing.
Ravenclaw, who has not studied this, can't give an answer.
Scott doesn't have a good way, he can only look at these drawings from time to time to see if he can get some inspiration.
Of course, he has not gained anything so far.
