Jon quickly explained his true intentions.
Actually, when Slughorn finished reading that complete memory, he had already guessed almost exactly why he was looking for him.
"It's a pity that Adrian in this world will never be able to think that the ring and these gems he created can actually be used by people."
Slughorn said with regret.
He looked at Jon with a very serious expression.
"I don't know what happened to Adrian in the later part of your world that gave me that ring, but in this world, he suddenly found me three months before he died."
"At that time, he had no way to get out of the hospital bed. He could only lie in the magic hospital and wait to die. Even the potion with the best healing effect in the world could not take his life back from the hand of death. He lived alone. There are only a few close friends, one of whom is me, and when I came to him, he asked me to do one thing for him—recover all the gems he left everywhere.”
Jon held his breath. He listened to Slughorn's narration quietly, knowing that the node that was different from the original world should be here.
"I am very surprised, knowing that those things are the painstaking efforts of his lifelong research, even though he has never found the right person to use and try, but he has always hoped that his research will shine in the magic world in the future .”
When Slughorn said this, he couldn't help looking at the pendant on Jon's neck again.
"It seems that he in another world is indeed guessing right, but the Adrian I know completely overturned all his previous conceptions in the last days of his life."
"He himself just followed the old path of the wand before. The combination of the ring and the gemstone is similar to the body and the core of the wand, except that it has more choices, but it is the same as the disadvantages faced by all wizards. Once lost Without a wand, the strength of the wizards who have become dependent on it will be greatly reduced, and sometimes they cannot even defeat Muggles.”
"During the time lying in the hospital bed, he had some new ideas, but he knew that his life was coming to an end, and even the rings and gemstones he had created could not find someone who could use them successfully, So he asked me to help him take those rings and gems to his grave after he died of illness, and some things he left me."
When Slughorn said this, he turned and walked to a chest of drawers, he opened the door of the drawer below, and quickly found a box from inside, and in the box, he took out a book notes.
He handed the notebook to Jon without hesitation.
"This is about all his ideas after the ring and gemstone casting system. I have also read the content. Although I think most of these are fantasy, after all, I am not an expert in the field of spellcasting, so I don't know what to do. How can I help you with this?"
Speaking of this, Slughorn paused slightly, as if he was struggling with something, but finally made up his mind.
"If you still want the ring and gem that Adrian brought to the grave in this world, I can help you find a way to get those things out without disturbing his peace."
"I'm not that greedy, sir. I've never met that Mr. Adrian Fox, but he has indirectly saved my life more than once since I harvested the ring he created. I haven't It’s so bad that I can dig the grave of my savior in order to gain strength, not to mention that even if I get another set of rings and gems, it won’t help my strength much.”
His words made Slughorn heave a sigh of relief. The more he talked with Jon, the more he could imagine how proud he would be in another world to receive a student like Jon.
After briefly looking at the notebook in his hand, the expression on Jon's face remained unchanged, but he said to Slughorn solemnly.
"I think what's in it is more important than a new set of rings and gems. I've always been in favor of Mr. Fox, and I never knew what I could do for him. Now I think if I can put him in If some of the ideas in this note are perfected into reality, it will also fulfill some of his wishes, right?"
Slughorn happily patted the armrest of the sofa.
"If you can really do it, I believe it must be what Adrian is most excited to see! It's just that I have read some of the above content. Are these ideas really possible?"
Jon didn't promise him, he just said calmly.
"Before I got this ring, the magic contained in every gem on it was also a fantasy, sir. Perhaps no one has a better say on the contents of this note than I. Mr. Fox is a Absolute genius, a genius hidden and buried by history!"
Regarding the promise made by Jon, it is hard to tell how much confidence Slughorn has, but he is obviously very pleased that at least his friend's unfinished business has been renewed.
Jon chatted with Slughorn about another world for a while, and then got up to leave.
Before leaving, he sincerely persuaded Slughorn to go out for a longer walk, because the real Voldemort had already left this world, and the one that was now in the limelight was just one of his Horcruxes.
Slughorn didn't agree or refuse, he just said to wait until this summer to see if there were any new vacancies in Hogwarts.
Finally, watched by the fat walrus, Jon waved and left the small Muggle village with the note.
After returning to Hogwarts, Jon didn't start to study the contents of the notebook immediately. It's not that he lied to Slughorn. In his opinion, this notebook is indeed better than getting a new set of rings and gemstones. Much, much more useful.
But before starting formal research, he still has one more thing to do.
In the castle, he greeted Lily and Dumbledore, and then used the fireplace in Dumbledore's office to use the Floo network to Edinburgh, Scotland, and boarded a passenger ship to Norway through the harbor here.
He is going to go to the North Sea, find a high tower connecting the sky and the sea, and meet an old friend who has always wanted to express his gratitude, but never had the chance in the original world.
I was about to fall asleep at first, and then I suddenly woke up, as if there was still a promised update that I hadn’t written yet, so I took a clean shower, sobered up and finished coding.
Finish work, good night
