Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 15 Hogwarts, and where to find it

"Maybe in this world in the future, runes and other magic words will really be able to program languages?"

William laughed at his own wild thinking, but when he thought about it, he realized that it might not be impossible to come true.

"Latin is the best magic language! Simple, easy to use, and the richest extension framework and modules."

"Rune characters are the best magic language!

Latin?Dogs don't even need it. "

"Lockhart's Latin spell compilation course - 3-month crash course, promise to learn without charging any fees."

"Gringotts' Egyptian branch is recruiting runes to develop spell-breakers (300~400 Galleons/month, 14 salary, performance bonus at the end of the year)."

Imagine the future of the wizarding world.

William shook his head vigorously, expelling this poisonous picture from his mind.

Unknowingly, the sunlight outside the car window was no longer so glaring—Hogwarts had just driven out of the barren wilderness and was walking in a long river valley.

The meandering river.

Dark green hills.

The scenery flashed through the window quickly.

"Going this way north, you're not going to Scotland, are you?"

William guessed.

"Speak up, Penelope.

Do you know where the Hogwarts castle is? "

He suddenly thought—the original book only mentions that the specific location of Hogwarts is protected by layers of spells, and cannot be marked on any map.

But they couldn't just dig a big hole in the ground and hide the castle, right?

"Well, "Hogwarts: A School History" says that the location of Hogwarts Castle is protected by a spell and cannot be shown on the map. But..."

Penello didn't laugh at William, but thought for a moment before answering his question:
"You know, the founder of Ravenclaw said that in a dream, a warthog led her to a cliff by the lake. She thought it was some kind of omen, and then she and the other three founders Together, we built a school here."

But this information is still too little.

Zhang Qiu joined the conversation and said:
"The castle must be far from London.

I remember, last year when we took the train, we didn't get to the castle until very late.It was completely dark at that time - I think it was at least after ten o'clock. "

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

But before they could react, the door was already opened from the outside.A girl with shaggy brown hair dragged another boy in.

——The boy looked timid, looking at William and Penello very embarrassedly.

"Hello, have you seen Neville's toad?"

Her tone seemed a little taken for granted.

There was still a long time before arriving at the castle, but she had obviously already changed into her wizard robes.

"I overheard your conversation. But you are just guessing like this. I have read the entire "Hogwarts: A School History" and there is not a single word about Hogwarts. specific location.

It is protected by a magic spell at all times.

My name is Hermione Granger, and I'm a freshman this year. "

Hermione couldn't wait for William and the others to answer, so she went on talking on her own - she really deserves to be Miss Know-It-All.

William thought back to what Snape had said of her in the future.

"Hogwarts Castle is in Scotland."

But to Hermione's surprise, William said suddenly.

"How do you know? It's not in a book"

Hermione frowned, and looked at William suspiciously - she was not alone, Penello and Zhang Qiu in the private room were also looking at him, waiting for his explanation.

"Point North."

William took out his wand and waved it - a wisp of light white smoke floated from the tip of his wand, and then turned into an arrow, pointing straight in front of him - it was the direction the Hogwarts Express was heading.

"What kind of spell is this?"

Hermione looked at William in surprise.

"Just a trick."

William shook his head.

It's not even a spell.

Just like he wanted light, so he shouted "Bright Tang", after entering the magic world, William has realized that magic is an extremely idealistic existence.

As long as the wizard is determined, such tricks and even spells can be used without.

Unstable, not persistent, and not very effective.

But it's easy to use when it's weird.

"This train has been going north, assuming 40 miles per hour, 11 hours, multiplied by 40, about 400 miles from London, the distance is also explained, isn't it? And river valleys, cliffs, lakes, although I haven't been to the Scottish Highlands, yet."

William waved his wand, and transformed the smoke of the arrow into a calculation process, which was displayed in front of them.William had never been there, but in his last life, as Feng Rui, he went to Edinburgh during the summer vacation of his sophomore year, and did a summer exchange program there.

"I admit that your statement has some truth, but you are just guessing. There is no record to prove your statement."

Hermione shook her head.

"That's true. I'm just here."

"No, maybe we can still find it."

Penello patted his hand lightly, attracting everyone's attention—even Marietta looked over secretly.

"Remember? What the Big Four of Hogwarts did when they founded the school - the noble Slytherin contributed the castle of his ancestors, and the wise Ravenclaw came up with a clever plan to let the people who lived near the castle at that time Ordinary people leave.

The brave Gryffindor took out a whole bag of gold and gave it to ordinary people who had left their homes and let them go to his hometown.There is a huge manor there, allowing all of them to have land to support themselves. "

Hermione nodded in agreement at her words.

"We know that Gryffindor's hometown is Godric's Hollow, and there, wizards and ordinary people have always mixed together, and there are very complete records.

Perhaps we combine these messages, and ordinary people leave their hometowns because of trolls, poisonous snakes, and cursed heirs to their domains in their castles.They took a sum of gold that could not be explained, went to Godric's Hollow, and found the manor at that time. "

Penello continued.

"Even though the information in that era was relatively occluded, there were so many clues that there would always be some records left in the castles that the peasants passed by.

As long as you study patiently, you may not be able to deduce the general location of Hogwarts Castle. "

William understood what she meant and helped explain.

"Merlin, maybe this is really possible?

Even if you can't find the specific location of Hogwarts Castle, you can at least get a rough reference route.You could even write a bestseller about it, like Gilderoy Lockhart did! "

Zhang Qiu covered his mouth and exclaimed softly.

"Hogwarts, and Where to Find It"

Penello compared the appearance of the book with his fingers and said.

Even Hermione nodded as well.

For Merlin's sake, she was thinking faster, even whispering the names of books that might come in handy.

"But before that, if you don't mind, I think we'll have to help Neville find his toad. He's about to cry."

William interrupted the thoughts in the private room, and pointed to Neville, who was looking at them in a dazed manner. At this moment, Neville, after listening to the "encrypted call" for a long time, was only short of "Abaabaa" .

　The literal translation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is Fantastic Creatures, and Where to Find Them.Ask for a comment.The collection is growing so fast, but it feels like a single player, which is weird.

　　A piece of school history comes from a piece of school history, and Rowling wrote it herself. If there is a mistake with the second one, it is her own fault.
