Chapter 171 Les: Thanks Again Vigo
Naturally, there were no mushrooms in the mushroom soup that Hufflepuff stewed, and she told her friends about her purpose of setting up a magic school.
"I think the current situation is incorrect. Only by communicating more can magic progress faster, just like what we just did. If everyone locks the magic book in their own secret room, how can we... ..." At this point, Helga glanced north. Although she didn't say anything, the other three people understood what she meant: If all magic families cherish their own things, then the gods will always be like hanging above the wizard's head. Like a sharp sword.
They have become more and more active in recent decades. With the support of the Nordic gods, the Vikings went all the way south, and their warhammers swept across Britain, France, Spain, and Italy until they reached the Greek Peninsula. In addition, they traveled through rivers and estuaries into Russia and Eastern Europe, discovered Iceland and Greenland to the west, and eventually reached North America. Heading east, they once reached the Caspian Sea.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before wizards become servants of the Nordic gods.
"And we can also encourage other families to share magic by opening a school, which is also very beneficial to us." After Hufflepuff finished talking about the necessity of opening a school, Ravenclaw added for her about opening a magic school. the benefits of.
When Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw said this, Gryffindor was really moved, but Slytherin immediately poured cold water on them: "If this is the case, our school may not be open for a few days." Overwhelmed by greedy wizards who will sneak in and steal our magic, or simply capture our students and force us to hand over all the spells we know."
"If we want to open a magic school, we will definitely not be able to do it now. We have to wait until the four of us are very famous - at least we must be able to deter those greedy eyes."
The other three were silent.
They had to admit that the scenario described by Slytherin was the most likely scenario.
"Then let's wait until we become famous wizards before we open a magic school!" Hufflepuff did not embarrass her friends. She also knew that it was unrealistic to open a school now.
Gryffindor expressed his support to Hufflepuff. He said that fighting is what he is good at, even if he kills the fire dragon alone, it is no problem. If anyone dared to covet their school in the future, he would nail them to the stakes one by one.
Slytherin grinned and shook his head: Becoming a famous wizard? Even if it is decades later, how many of the four people in the house will still be alive by then?
"Okay, the soup is ready, wild mushrooms with grouse, and an egg for each person." Helga brought several people back from idealism to reality. They quickly picked up the tableware and put the big pot into the pot. The chicken and mushrooms inside are served into their own bread - the bread that serves as their dry food is harder than a rock. Experienced diners will first dig a hole in the bottom of the bread and then use the bread to serve the stew. By the time the stew is almost done, the bread will be soft.
After eating and drinking, Hufflepuff began to practice the wood transfiguration she had just learned.
One after another, she dug out the vivid little badgers from the wood and placed them on the floor. Slytherin looked at the little badgers, his eyelids couldn't stop fighting, and finally he fell into sleep.
…
Les freed his mind from the memory, and the wooden badger in the memory and the badger on the copper cup handle gradually overlapped.
With such a strong personal style, even after thousands of years of wind and rain, Les could still recognize the maker of this cup at a glance.
He concluded that this must be Hufflepuff's handiwork.
Helga Hufflepuff, why is the cup you made here?
Les needed to date the cup and determine which age group of Hufflepuffs it was made by. If it was a Hufflepuff work in his later years, its value would be immeasurable.
As for the dating method, it is very simple. Rice needs to first look at the origin of the cup.
Thanks to Vigo, her institutional reforms really helped Les a lot. The cabinet under this cup contains a complete set of information about this cup, from how to obtain it to its functions and usage records.
After taking out the document and looking through it carefully, Rice clarified the origin of the cup: it was dug out by the Esoteric Order from the tomb of a 12th-century wizard. The owner of the tomb actually recorded in his epitaph that he was How to get this cup!
The original owner of this cup belonged to the tomb owner's grandfather. He encountered an elderly witch in Alexandria who was traveling here. The witch had god-like powers and could find endless cheese, bread, and other items in the basket she carried. There are bacon and fresh fish. What's even more amazing is that she can make the food taste the way she wants - she can turn bread into the texture of tender roast beef, and she can also make delicacies taste as if they were chewed.
In other words, this old witch only needs a piece of cheese and a loaf of bread to experience the taste of all the delicious food in the world.
The old witch also had a cup, into which she poured water, and what came out was sweet wine, which greatly moved the tomb owner's grandfather. After many pleas, the Holy Grail was finally exchanged for the Holy Grail from the old witch with a piece of confidential information.
This is the origin of this badger head copper mug.
However, after getting the cup, the tomb owner's grandfather drank all day and eventually died drunk in bed. After the tomb owner's father inherited the cup, he also became addicted to the wine produced by the cup and eventually died of liver disease. The tomb owner believed that the cup was cursed, so he simply took the cup into the tomb to prevent his descendants from being poisoned by it.
However, after the Secret Society excavated it from the tomb, it was found that the spell attached to the cup might have gone wrong due to the passage of time. The cup could no longer produce wine, but only a sour liquid similar to vinegar. So it was placed in the corner of the storage room, hoping that a big guy could repair it one day.
The setting of turning water into wine is still very bluffing.
After reading the description, Les concluded that the "old witch" recorded in the epitaph was Hufflepuff.
According to Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff also went out for a tour after he and Godric left school, and then never returned. Now it seems that she must have been to Egypt, and her food magic has become more advanced. Rice remembered very clearly that when he left Hogwarts, Helga had not yet been able to do the operations described in the epitaph.
But this is not the point. The point is what kind of information the grandfather of the tomb owner provided, which allows Rice to continue to track down the whereabouts of Hufflepuff.
What is wonderful is that the Secret Society actually made an analysis for Rice!
