In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Perhaps he is using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.

But Jon knew very well that knowing everything about Voldemort would have an impact on more than just him.

He couldn't be too cautious. At least until he saw what was under the stone slab, he had no way of knowing whether Sir Stoker would treat them the same way he did now.

For a whole afternoon after that day, Sir Stoker stayed with Jon, watching him remove the magic from the stone slab without leaving.

But just as Jon expected, early the next morning, Sir Stoker no longer followed him all the time.

He said hello to Jon, and sorted out some information and star maps in the office under the top of the tower, so that Jon could call him at any time if he needed anything.

And it was this opportunity that Jon was waiting for.

Yesterday, he deliberately slowed down, and only a quarter of the magic text on the slate was absorbed. But today, starting from the morning, he did not hold back, and half of the magic text was solved in one morning.

The original light blue gem has obviously turned ruddy. Although it has not turned blood red like the one I just got in the Hogwarts library, there is still half of the magic power left on the stone slab, and all of it has been absorbed. The amount of walking should be about the same as before.

Mainly because the quality of the magic power of the person who wrote these magic texts is so high, it even far exceeds the magic power of the wizards who created those banned books in the library.

These huge magic powers not only filled the magic power in the ring gems, but also revealed the forbidden books that had lost their magic power support.

Jon was on the carriage before, relying on the magic power of students below the fourth grade, and only recovered a forbidden book about the Shadowless God compiled by Snape. He did not get any more banned books.

But now the contents of these books all appear in gems for him to read, which is an unexpected surprise.

But what Jon valued most was the stone slab itself.

After finishing lunch, Sir Stoker asked Jon about the progress. Jon didn't hide anything about him.

He truthfully informed that half of the magic text on the slate had been solved, but he did not say that in fact, as long as half of it was solved, it would be almost the same. Instead, he said that the results would be available as soon as tomorrow morning.

Sir Stoker did not doubt this. He did not seem to have a deep understanding of magic other than astronomy.

In fact, Neville and the others no longer have any tasks in the tower. Jon didn't let them return to the ship. Not only did they not want Sir Stoker to see the problem, but they also didn't want to leave Jon here alone, for fear that he would encounter him again. If something unexpected happens, you have to bear it yourself.

"I'm very willing to accept your help, but you also have to promise me that if something unexpected happens while I'm away, you must go back to the ship first. At least let those of us who stay on the ship know what happened in the tower. ."

In the face of Jon's serious warning, Neville assured him.

In the overall situation, Neville is still the most reassuring. His current personality is not like a Gryffindor, but more like a Hufflepuff.

After returning to the top of the tower and continuing to work on the magic texts for more than an hour, the stone slab finally showed signs of loosening.

Although some of the thousands of magic texts still shimmer with magic power, the connection between the magic texts and the magic texts has been completely cut off, and the blocking magic that should have been effective is now completely ineffective.

Jon relaxed his brows slightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then slowly took the stone slab off the wall.

Under the stone slab is a narrow hole, and inside the hole is a wooden box.

Jon didn't hesitate. He took the wooden box out of the hole. The box was not locked and could be opened directly.

The things hidden in the box were very simple, a rolled-up piece of old parchment, and a paper tube that looked like a bottle had been stuffed into it.

He first picked up the parchment, spread it out, and quickly scanned the contents.

It's just that the words written on it were all in French. Jon was not a multilingual genius. He couldn't understand the content at all. He glanced down quickly, and soon his eyes settled on a name in the lower left corner of the parchment. .

This should be some kind of contract with magical effect, and the signature of the signer of the contract is in English that Jon can understand. Coincidentally, this English name is very familiar to him!

【Tom Riddle】

Jon held his breath subconsciously, he guessed correctly.

The thing hidden under the stone slab was indeed related to Voldemort. Although he could not see what was written on the parchment for the time being, Jon held it in his arms without hesitation.

His behavior can be said to be stealing, but even if it is stealing, it is necessary to understand the above content and then determine whether Sir Stoker can be trusted.

Just when he hid the parchment and was about to pick up the paper tube and open it, there was suddenly a sound coming upstairs behind him.

Jon's reaction was very calm, and the movements of his hands were also very fast. He quickly opened the lid of the paper tube, and after taking a look at the contents, he immediately put it back in place, and then covered it with a stone slab. Turn around and walk towards the stairs.

When he came to the stairs, Sir Stoker happened to climb up.

"I was just about to go find you, Sir, and I have good news." Jon said, pretending to be nonchalant, "More than half of the magic text on the stone slab has been cracked, and the blocking magic attached to it has expired."

Sir Stoker's face clearly showed excitement, and he walked quickly towards the direction of the stone slab.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's see who is hiding something in my house!"

He couldn't wait to come to the stone slab, then took out the wooden box in front of Jon, and then opened it for him.

Looking at the paper tube inside the box, Sir Stoker showed a solemn expression on his face. He took out the paper tube, opened the lid and poured out the contents.

It was a glass bottle like a test tube, and a silver liquid was stored in the bottle.

Those things that are said to be liquid are more like smoke, floating dreamily in the bottle.

"What is this? A potion?"

Jon had been paying attention to Sir Stoker's expression after seeing this bottle of potion-like thing, but he could only see confusion on Sir's face, and did not notice any other abnormalities.

He narrowed his eyes and said softly.

"It does look like a magic potion."
