Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 433: Brain storm
,!
"Author? Who is the author of this book?"
When Stephanie asked this sentence, Sean realized that he had forgotten such a key person.
Who actually wrote this "Story Collection of Greedy Poets"?
He moved his head quickly, and Stephanie quickly closed the book. There was no author on the cover.
Flip to the title page, also nothing.
The last page and the back of the book were also missing, and even Stephanie couldn't find the author's name after flipping through the entire book.
This is a book without an author.
The two looked at each other, and simply read the first story from the beginning.
However, the first story is a bit old-fashioned. The protagonist is still a bard, but this time the bard solves a major accident in the kingdom and is loved by people.
Continuing to read, the protagonist remains unchanged. The second story is that the bard meets a woman who makes him fall in love, chases after him to no avail, and finally leaves lonely.
This "Story Collection of Greedy Poets" is not too thick, especially when each story is accompanied by illustrations, it does not take much time to roughly read the entire book.
The two got together, and it didn't take long to turn to the last page.
The last story is about the bard's evil alchemy experiment. The two of them stared at it for a long time, and they still felt slightly dizzy.
Sean raised his head, shook his head, frowned and said, "Although most of them are dark stories, fables and fairy tales, they have nothing to do with each other."
"The only thing in common is that the bard appears in every story, and most of them still describe the main point of view of the story." Stephanie added.
"But the image of the bard in the illustrations is rarely consistent, and there is no key point that can be connected between the stories—after the story of "The Poet and the Greedy Snake of Wisdom", the next story becomes a story about the bard and the medieval vampire calculating each other..." Xiao En said.
After pondering for a while, Stephanie said: "I feel that maybe those are the real experiences of the bard. After all, if that story is excluded, there will at least be a gradual change in other stories."
"Well, what do you say?" Sean asked puzzled.
"Recall, except for that story, in all the other stories, the character of the bard is getting darker and more despicable-not so much a collection of stories, it's more like the bard's depravity process, of course, we don't know how he fell."
Shawn recalled it himself, and found that, as Stephanie said, the bard was slowly turning bad. In the last evil alchemy experiment, the bard even killed an entire village of innocent residents, which was heinous.
"Then what is the purpose of the author who recorded these stories? To reveal the evil truth about bards to the world?" Sean thought about it.
Stephanie shook her head: "I can't give an accurate answer, but I'm curious about the relationship between the author and the bard."
Shawn thought to himself: "If the author and the bard are enemies, then how can he reveal the evil face of the bard to the world after leaving such a collection of vague stories? If there are friends, family members, descendants, etc., then there is no need to write these..."
"This is obviously not a fairy tale that can be mass-produced—" Stephanie patted the weird and heavy cover, "The author must write it to convey a certain message."
""The Poet and the Greedy Snake of Wisdom", this is the message that the author wants to convey. He/she/it is revealing a truth-as for why it is expressed so cryptically, instead of explaining it in a straightforward way, I have a guess."
Stephanie's speech is smooth and fast, and her words are equally clear, giving people a very reliable feeling.
Sean did not expect that the other party had already thought about so many things, so he also came to nature: "Tell me."
"That new world, that is, the twilight illusion you told me about, is the middle ground between the world of heaven and hell. Obviously, the twilight environment is very special—" the silver-haired girl said as she walked, and patted a stone wall. The wooden door opened, she waved her wand, and out floated two velvet armchairs from the Room of Requirement.
"Sit down and talk." Stephanie pushed a chair over.
When Sean sat down, she shrunk her legs, curled up in the chair, hugged her knees with her hands, and stared at the ceiling of the library absentmindedly.
"The Misty Illusion is special enough, and the Snake of Wisdom and the Robin who were killed must be one of the most special ones in the special world, otherwise the Misty Illusion would not start to gradually collapse after they died."
"Then can we assume that the Snake of Wisdom and the Robin are in a sense the rulers of the Misty Illusion—people who go there have to pass seven tests before they can see the Mockingbird, and the Snake of Wisdom can drive away the last tester under the eyes of the Mockingbird."
"This shows that they are probably beyond the existence of ordinary wizards..." Stephanie paused, and after sneaking a glimpse of Sean's thoughtful expression, the corner of the girl's mouth slightly raised, and then she spoke in more detail.
"They may represent the rights of the Misty Illusion, and the bard killed them and took a piece of the black gem. Then, it is very likely that the bard has also mastered some of the abilities of the snake of wisdom and the mocking bird—just like we both have some of the permissions of the House of Requirement."
Shawn nodded while thinking, although it was all speculation, but everything was reasonable, and Stephanie's brain turned very fast and sharp.
The silver-haired girl continued: "We compare Hogwarts to the Misty Illusion. If the bard has mastered the authority of the Room of Requirement like us, even more..."
"Then he can [watch] the people in the whole castle, just like us." Sean's eyes lit up, and he knew what Stephanie was talking about.
"That's right," Stephanie agreed, "We won't monitor other people in the castle, but the bard will."
Shawn continued: "In other words, the author of "The Tales of the Greedy Poet" is likely to be an existence in the illusion?"
"Yes, that bard may be an extremely powerful wizard in reality, and the supreme being who can control the survival of creatures in the illusion in the trance-although it's just a guess, but I think this is the most reasonable explanation." Stephanie lowered her upturned head slowly, and then leaned on her knees.
"So, it doesn't dare to write in too much detail, let alone be straightforward. It only dares to hint in the form of fables." Sean clenched his right fist and lightly smashed it on the palm of his left hand.
"Well——" Stephanie tilted her head, and her tone became lazy at some point, "Actually, we can also know that when the bard finally killed the snake of wisdom and the mocking bird, there were another pair or pairs of eyes that saw this scene, and the author was one of them."
"Then if we can find the bystander, maybe we can know what the truth behind the whole story is." Sean said.
The girl tilted her head: "That is indeed the case, but there is a problem. The Misty Illusion should be in ruins now, but it still retains the function of the transfer station [From Heaven to Hell]. We are all living people, how can we enter the Misty Illusion?"
Sean rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, yes, how do we get in?
Actually, Sean knew a resident of Misty Illusion...
Responsibility [Arrogance], the huge flame giant Sean, lives in the blurred environment. Even, Sean can use the obscurity and his connection with guilt to appear in the illusion in the form of a soul.
But the only place he can move is the one-third of an acre of Sky Island, and the outside is full of magma...
You can't ask [Arrogance]: Hey, that big fool living in my body, what happened in the Misty Illusion that year, tell me everything you know.
Besides this possibility, another way to enter the Misty Illusion is like Harry in the original book—he was unintentionally made into a seventh Horcrux by Voldemort.
Not to mention that the risk was too great, what Harry saw when he entered was King's Cross Station, which was a kind of projection from his own heart - he didn't know how to get to the world itself in a blurred environment.
Of course, there is another direction—the returnees must know...
"I want to know this secret and then deal with you and your leader I guess, tell me."
Drinking a barrel of Felix Elixir can do this...
Looking at Sean who was thinking hard, Stephanie said softly: "Actually, you don't need to be so distressed now. Our guess has not been confirmed, and the hidden meaning in the story has not been fully explained."
"Well, I know..." Sean smiled at the girl.
Stephanie reminded him one thing: don't worry about it now.
If there are people in this world who know this story besides the person involved, then Sean can only think of two people.
Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.
Even, when Sean thought of Dumbledore, he had already had a lot of thoughts.
Among his guesses, Dumbledore and the Returned One have established an unbreakable vow, and it is obviously unrealistic to learn the secrets about the Returned One from Dumbledore.
But can this answer a question that has always troubled Sean: why Dumbledore cooperated with The Returner.
Perhaps it was because of the truth of this story that Dumbledore made such a decision.
As for Grindelwald, there is a high probability that he does not know this story now, and neither the old Grindelwald nor the young Grindelwald are in a state where they can discuss things.
But when the time came to next year, after 1996, Grindelwald merged into one, and the influence of the time accident was eliminated. After Grindelwald has a complete memory, does he know more?
Sean tends to know, even, that Grindelwald's super-long time travel might have something to do with it all.
Thinking of this, Sean stretched himself.
"Sitting here in the middle of the night, I can't think of anything, but today is not without gains. At least we know more secret things, and we can also connect with many things now."
"Yes." Stephanie responded softly.
"Let's go, go back and rest first, it's so late...huh?"
Having heard no reply, Sean moved closer suspiciously.
Stephanie, who was curled up on the chair, breathed lightly and steadily. She hugged herself tightly and her eyes were closed.
"Stephanie? Asleep?" Sean was dumbfounded.
He moved a little closer, and could see the gently shaking eyelashes of the other party, the delicate and flawless face of the other party, and the fatigue between the brows.
It was only then that Sean came to his senses. It seemed that Stephanie's "quantum reading" ability and super memory didn't come without a price. It wasn't as easy as she said.
In order to drive her talent, she obviously spent a lot of energy, just now she was racking her brains to think about the whole thing.
She must be very tired...
Sean sighed softly and looked around.
You can’t sleep here either... let’s take her back to sleep——
Shawn thought for a while and took out his wand.
He cast an infinite force on himself, and sufficient power filled his body at once.
Then, Sean picked up the chair directly.
He went into the Room of Requirement, and then to Stephanie's little private room that was all hers.
Put the chair beside the bed, Sean hesitated for a moment, but picked up Stephanie.
The girl is as light as a bone, even if the statute of limitations of Xiao En's Power Curse has passed, it will not take much effort to hug this sixth grade senior.
However, Sean didn't feel the desire to feel the beautiful body of the other party at all. He carried Stephanie to the bed as quickly as possible, and then covered her with a quilt.
"It's time for me to go back to sleep..." Sean stretched and walked outside.
As soon as he took a step, Sean accidentally discovered a piece of parchment on the desk in the house.
A corner of the parchment is a little burnt black, and there are beautiful cursive characters on it.
A list of Hogwarts secret rooms and known ways to enter~IndoMTL.com~This is...
Sean picked up the parchment in surprise, he had seen this parchment before.
At the beginning, he was trapped in Slytherin's small secret room, and he found this piece of paper in the Room of Requirement the next day after returning. Sean didn't take it seriously at the time.
However, he is much more familiar with Stephanie now than before, so he can naturally recognize her handwriting.
This parchment was written by her at that time...
Shawn took the paper and looked back unconsciously.
The silver-haired girl is still sleeping peacefully.
Sean sighed silently, he carefully put the parchment back in place, and then left the room lightly.
He closed the wooden door and said something softly at the end.
"Good night, have a good dream."
On the bed, the silver-haired girl seemed to be dreaming some sweet dreams, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful.
