Chapter 34: Bloodline Talent! Full of gifts!
Here he comes.
He left again.
Wave your sleeves.
Only Ian is left, who failed to learn new magic as he wished, a bag of new gold coins that were accidentally taken out, and a tidy living room with the mess cleaned up.
"Suppress your possible curiosity about black magic. Don't let me know that you are asking about things you shouldn't ask about in the village. If I catch you trying to find someone to learn black magic, you will be finished!"
Before Snape left, he left a stark threat. Perhaps he was worried about the Umbrella Saints' recent activities in the village, or perhaps he was worried that Ian would be sent to Azkaban by someone else.
“I promise not to ask!”
I don’t know if Snape was satisfied or not with Ian’s trembling response. Anyway, Snape definitely didn’t expect it. The sustained "control" effect exerted by the threat on Ian is not long.
Snape just left.
Ian rushed to the toilet.
Three times, five times five times two times, the toilet tank was opened.
See.
The "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" wrapped in oilcloth was lying quietly on the side of the water tank - since there was a big noise last night, Ian had hidden it as a precaution.
After all, a group of corpses came out with a crackle, making a lot of noise.
Although he did not expect that the person he bumped into would be Snape, Ian was still worried and guarded that the abnormal situation in the cabin might be noticed by other wizards.
After all.
When he went out to look for food every day, Ian often heard the bar owner Rosmerta telling gossips about who and so in the village were fighting wizards or multiple witches in the middle of the night.
Even that sound can be discovered.
How can Ian not worry about his actions being noticed?
A lot of what he told Snape was true. Well, for example, he was afraid. He really didn't sleep all night last night for fear that a wizard would come to his door.
In such an uneasy situation.
"The Secret of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" of course needs to be hidden.
At the beginning.
In fact, Ian wanted to break the toilet, hide the "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" in a secret pipe, and then use the [Repair Spell] to restore the broken toilet to its original shape without anyone noticing.
However.
He didn’t do that after all.
Not only are we worried that "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" will be washed away, but also that the knowledge in "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" has been blasphemed after being marinated in indescribable things.
Hmm.
It’s not a big problem if knowledge is blasphemed. What I’m afraid of is being tainted with this kind of blasphemy when learning knowledge... Ian doesn’t want to get the comment “He smells like the Yoneda Communist Party” after he enrolls in school.
[Shit Smell Wizard]
Such a title is scary enough just to think about it.
Because of this.
Ian then made the next best choice.
Hiding "The Secret of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" in the toilet tank is indeed very difficult to detect.
Facts also proved that Snape had no idea that Ian would obtain such a masterpiece of black magic and hide it in a corner of the room.
With this textbook.
Why should he ask others about black magic?
"My baby~"
Ian just checked the sealing of the oilcloth, and then hid the "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" back again. He has more to study now. Black magic is more important thing.

……Yes.
Copy rented books.
This is the more important thing.
Compared with the knowledge that can be continued to be learned at any time, the complete copying of the seven-year-old potions textbook is an urgent matter for Ian.
Teacher Mara is a good teacher, but she is obviously not a good wizard.
God knows if he has not completed what he promised, will Teacher Mara continue to teach him more magic, or maybe let him experience the taste of black magic personally?
Ian has not had much contact with the mysterious souls in this blurry fantasy, and he is still unable to make an accurate judgment. In short, he would rather suffer "Xiaoyou" a little more than try it.
Anyway, "Xiaoyou" has no use at this age.
It is better to use it to copy violently at the desk.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~"
In a quiet wooden house.
There was a constant sound of friction between the quill and the notepad.

……
The growing proficiency is now the motivation for Ian to write - quills that can automatically copy text are sold in the village. Ian, who was "fed" by Snape again, has become wealthy again.
Nothing more.
Ever since he discovered last night that copying these textbooks could increase his [Potion Mastery] skill, Ian has given up on the idea of using "technology" lazily.
Study that can irritate your liver.
For Ian it was just an interest. What a pleasant thing it is to let knowledge flow through your mind as you copy it, and then leave some traces of your past.
"There were half-blood princes in ancient times. There's no guarantee that there will be another orphan prince in Hogwarts!"
Ian felt that his talent in potions was probably not bad.
After all.
Perhaps for most young wizards, whenever knowledge such as potions enters their minds, it may even mean that other knowledge is swept away when it flows out.
Just by passively reading when copying, one can gain proficiency. Such a talent level is basically second only to Ian's somewhat unreasonable black magic talent.
Um.
As of now.
The talent for white magic is just a little bit worse.
It still needs to be practiced several times before you can learn it. The interval for increasing proficiency when using it is about ten minutes longer than [Potion Mastery].
"If I can get Dumbledore's teachings, maybe it can make up for my lack of talent in white magic?" Ian is also full of expectations and longing for his study life after the start of school.
What?
Dumbledore didn’t teach magic classes?
It doesn’t exist!
Can a stalwart principal still refuse students’ requests for advice who are eager to learn?
Thick-skinned!
Only then can you really eat meat!

Even if Ian occasionally gets a little carried away when copying, the improvement in proficiency has only slowed down. Speed, this may be the hidden talent hidden in the blood of the Prince family.
The quill touched the paper lightly, and the ink slowly solidified.
The sun is bright outside the window.
In the room, the only sound that could be heard was the rustle of the pen tip touching the paper, intertwined with the occasional sound of turning the pages of a book. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of ink and books.
Ian gradually became involved.
Focus.
