Chapter 224 222. When an astronaut
"Get Out of Earth!"
Sir Stoke's voice became a little passionate.
"They created a mechanical structure called a rocket. Through the power generated by the burning of objects, they got rid of the shackles of the ground and flew up until they completely flew out of the ground. , but the starry sky that no one can reach!"
Neville and Ron obviously knew about this for the first time. They couldn't understand the discussion about philosophy between Jon and Sir Stoke earlier, but they could understand what Sir said now. .
"Did they go to another star?" Ron asked with wide eyes.
"They've already landed men on the moon, and the machines they've created have even reached Mars."
Sir Stoke said with bright eyes, he looked like he wanted to leave his wizarding status immediately and join the Muggle astronauts to become an astronaut.
"However, no wizard in the magic world has ever had such an idea, so scholars who study astronomy have always used the telescope placed on the ground to observe."
Jon said in relief.
"Magic gives wizards convenience, but it also restricts some thoughts. This is not a question of whether wizards want or not."
"I have always felt that it has been so long, and the main theme of the magic world is still around bloodlines. Disputes over status are embarrassing."
Sir Stoke said mercilessly.
"The mysteries of magic should not be limited to this. Our innate ability should not be wasted on **** our own kind, but to seek progress and explore this world, not just the ground we are on. , but the truth of all things.”
From the time he met this Sir to the present, he left an impression on Jon more like a cynical scholar than an aristocratic wizard.
This kind of person is really rare in the magic world, because magic is the foundation of wizards, and the main content studied by most wizard scholars is related to spells, transfiguration, potions or magical animals and herbs. Some people focus on the so-called truth of the world.
In fact, it is also because wizards can affect matter through their own will, which makes them not so interested in matter, and lacks motivation to explore.
And Sir Stoke is obviously the "weird" among wizards.
He obviously came from a wizarding family, but he was more like a Muggle scientist who first studied natural science, and then became a monk halfway through before getting into magic.
After chatting with Sir Stoke at the dinner table for a while about Muggle philosophy and scientific development, Rabiel took Jon and Neville to the tower to prepare them for a lunch break. .
After being brought to the place, Rabiel the elf didn't stay long. This tower is so big, it is responsible for a lot of work, and there is no time to follow Jon and the others like this.
After he left, Jon summoned all five of Neville and the others to his room. First, he checked the room up and down to make sure that there were no moving portraits or other means of surveillance. He asked seriously road.
"What did you find out this morning?"
Before lunch, the girls who explored the lower half of the tower had already exchanged their results with the boys who explored the upper half, so Neville shook his head and said.
"We basically walked all the floors of this tower, but we didn't find anything special. If we insist on being weird, there are so many black cats in this tower. We have encountered a total of no less than Yu seven."
Jon stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Did those black cats show anything special?"
Ron shook his head.
Hermione hesitated, but finally spoke.
"When Luna and I went down to the foyer on the first floor again, I suspected that there were actually floors under the sea. When we were trying to find the passage, the house elf suddenly came over. We asked him about this, and he Tell us that the part of the tower in the sea is solid, there are no floors, and people can't get in."
Hearing Hermione's words, Jon frowned slightly.
"When the little elf found out that you were looking for the passage below, did he have any reaction on his face?"
Luna replied.
"No, he doesn't appear to be lying or trying to stop us."
Luna's feeling should be accurate, but even so, Hermione's guess still made Jon suspicious.
They are now in the depths of the Norwegian Sea. The average depth of this sea area is more than 1,500 meters. If the tower wants to take root on the bottom of the sea, a long part must be hidden in the sea water.
Thinking, Jon raised his head and said to Li.
"Now you say that you want to go back to the boat to explain something instead of me, and then go back to find Nick and ask him to help you dive into the sea and go underwater to see what the part of the tower looks like in the sea."
Li nodded solemnly, and then he left the room.
Neville said tentatively.
"Actually, I don't think this Jazz looks like a bad guy, and it feels like he is."
"A little naive?" Jon picked up what he hadn't said for Neville.
"right."
"This Sir is definitely a bit naive. Since we visited him yesterday evening, we have known each other for less than a day now, but he has talked with us so much."
Jon said.
"As far as he just expressed his affection for Muggles, if I were a wizard who insisted on pure blood, I might have conflicted with him."
Neville seemed a little guilty.
"He trusts us so much, it's not good that we still engage in these little tricks at his house."
Jon patted him on the shoulder.
"I can understand what you think, Neville, but it is precisely because Sir is good to us that we should find out what is wrong with this tower. This is not only helping us but also helping him."
He explained Neville, but in fact Jon also had an inexplicable doubt in his heart.
So far, after they came to this tower, the information they found was very simple, but also straightforward and useful.
It seems that as long as the stone slab on the top of the tower is lifted, then the answer Voldemort left on the tower can be obtained.
But the more this is the case, the more people feel something is wrong.
Did the Dark Lord really go to this tower and write those runes just for the sake of hiding things?
