Chapter 391: Cat Lover Hermione

Seeing this, Aisen's smile quickly spread across his face: "Well, now you have plenty of time to learn new knowledge. How about I replicate some new knowledge here for you to study?"

"Like Professor said, replicate the teaching scenes of Zhengyi School teachers here?" Hermione's expression remained relaxed as she heard Aisen say this.

"Also, how about I replicate the teaching scenes of teachers from Muggle World schools like Eton College, Oxford University, or Cambridge University here?" Aisenadded.

"No problem!" Hermione said with a grin, "But, is it okay if I study after I graduate from Hogwarts?"

"That's up to you!" Aisen said with a smile.

"Also, when the time comes, I want Professor to study with me!" Hermione said, pouting her lips.

"Uh, have I ever told you that I've actually graduated from university?" Aisen couldn't help but scratch his head.

"You did, you graduated from Manchester University!" Hermione blinked, looked at Aisen, and then turned her head away.

"Cough, cough, alright, I'll study with you then!" Aisen's face showed a hint of helplessness.

...

The next morning, Aisen and Hermione continued to weave through the bustling streets and alleys, experiencing the charming everyday atmosphere emanating from this vibrant city.

Perhaps having stayed in the Wizarding World for a long time, Aisen clearly noticed that Hermione's mood brightened considerably when moving through the constant flow of people.

"Here, Professor, eat this!" Hermione skipped along, tore open the packaging in her hand, and popped a candy into Aisen's mouth.

"Chocolate?" After chewing a few times, Aisen looked over in surprise.

"That's right! I used to love eating chocolate. I just ate it rarely because I was afraid of gaining weight." Hermioneclutched the snack wrapper in her hand, "But didn't Professor say that I have Energy Absorption runes on me, and any food and energy will be absorbed and broken down? So it's okay if I eat a little more."

"That's right, whether it's chocolate or ice cream, you can eat whatever you like without worrying about anything happening to your body." Aisen swallowed the chocolate candy.

"Hehe!" Hermione giggled. After the two passed through a dark alley, she seemed to be attracted by a certain stall, and she shook Aisen's arm, "Professor, what are those people doing?"

Aisen's gaze shifted, and he saw what was happening inside through the crowd surrounding the stall.

He saw that the stall was set up in a relatively spacious square on the street corner. A red blanket was spread on the ground, and toys were arranged in rows and columns on the blanket, with about a foot of space between each toy.

A yellow ribbon was pulled up along the edge of the blanket, keeping the crowd outside the blanket.

A middle-aged man wearing a jacket, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking a bit weathered, held several colorful plastic rings in one hand and had dozens more hanging on his other arm.

Amidst the coming and going of people, many stopped in front of the stall, took out a few yuan to buy some rings, and then tried to loop them onto the toys placed on the stall.

Those who didn't loop a toy showed a hint of regret on their faces. Then, the children nearby would beg their parents to buy some more rings to play with.

And those who successfully looped a toy handed the toy in their hand to their child. Seeing the child's joyful expression, the parents' faces also showed expressions of satisfaction.

"They are playing a game!" Seeing this scene, Aisenrecalled a scene from his previous life.

That's right, this ring toss game was still very vivid in his memory. Because he had played this ring toss game with friends.

Although he knew himself well and didn't think he could gain an advantage from the stall owner, he couldn't resist his good friend's high spirits.

Therefore, every time he encountered a ring toss stall with friends, he would help throw a few rings.

If he didn't loop one, it was a very normal thing for Aisen, and his friends wouldn't say anything. Once he did loop one, both he and his friends would feel it was an unexpected surprise.

"What game? Let's go take a look!" Hearing Aisen's words, Hermione pulled his arm and squeezed into the crowd.

Seeing Hermione's eagerness, Aisen shook his head. As his thoughts shifted, it was as if the air around their bodies wrapped them. When they squeezed into the crowd, the air gently and automatically parted some people.

"Professor, what game is this?" Coming to the stall, looking at the dolls placed on the blanket, and the crowd nearby occasionally throwing the rings in their hands towards them, Hermione's face showed an eager expression.

"The ring toss game!" Aisen explained, "Look, you see the owner next to it? You have to spend money to buy some rings from him and then throw them onto the stall. Whichever item you loop, you can take that item away. If you don't loop anything, it's like the money you spent on the rings was wasted!"

"That's a very interesting game!" Hermione immediately became interested, and her eyes started to sparkle as she looked at Aisen, "Professor, let's play! I want that one—"

Looking in the direction Hermione pointed, and seeing clearly what Hermione wanted, Aisen couldn't help but pinch his forehead: "You want that doll?"

"Can't I?" Hermione looked at Aisen pleadingly, looking as if she was about to cry.

"Of course you can!" Aisen said with a smile, then turned and walked towards the stall owner, "Boss, how much for twenty rings?"

"Ten yuan!" Although curious that Aisen, a foreigner, also played the ring toss game, the owner knew that business had arrived and there was no reason to refuse.

The stall owner counted out twenty rings, and after Aisenpaid, he handed the rings over.

"Here, give it a try!" Aisen handed Hermione two rings, and lowered his voice to signal to her, "Don't cheat when playing this game!"

"Of course I won't cheat!" Hermione rolled her eyes at Aisen, grabbed the rings, and threw them directly towards the target at the back of the stall.

Swish—

The ring arced through a perfect curve, crossing a distance of over ten meters, passing over several toys in the front row of the stall, and landing on a white fluffy cat doll.

Pop—pop—

Before Hermione could clench her fist in celebration, she saw the ring bounce off the cat doll and land on the blanket nearby. Clearly, Hermione's first attempt at the ring toss had ended in failure.

"What a shame, just a little bit off!" Aisen's mouth curved slightly upwards.

"Hmph, I don't believe I can't loop it!" Hermione pursed her lips and threw the ring in her hand again.

Plop—

Almost identical to her first attempt, the ring successfully landed on the cat doll, but it bounced off. Looking at Hermione's expression, it was clear she was a bit depressed.

"Don't rush, take your time!" Aisen stepped forward to comfort her, putting a few rings into Hermione's hand, "Concentrate, make your movements a little gentler, I believe you can do it!"

Under Aisen's comfort, Hermione's mood calmed down.

Ring after ring was thrown by Hermione, then bounced past the target to the other side. Occasionally, a bouncing ring would even roll like a wheel for a considerable distance before looping a snack package on the other side.

But unfortunately, looping an item in this way was invalid.

"YES!" After throwing the ring in her hand, Hermionefinally looped the cat doll that was sitting foolishly on the stall, looking at everyone.

"Boss, that one's looped, can we take it?" Aisen looked at the stall owner, asked, and then stepped forward and directly took the white cat doll into his hand.

Hmm—the moment he got the doll in his hand, Aisen felt a soft and comfortable touch.

Honestly, holding and playing with the doll felt quite nice. No wonder so many people liked these things.

"Here, this is the doll you looped!" Aisen put the doll into Hermione's arms.

"Professor, you try to loop the remaining rings!" Hermionehanded the three rings in her hand to Aisen, and squeezed the doll tightly in her arms.

Looking at the few rings in his hand, and then at the various items displayed on the stall, Aisen suddenly hesitated.

Because the items displayed on the stall, besides some cups, toys, dolls, and small snack packs, there was nothing else.

Even some larger items that seemed more valuable to ordinary people—exquisite porcelain vases—were of no use to Aisen.

His gaze swept over the goods on the stall for a few rounds, and finally Aisen's eyes landed on several plush dolls in the back row.

There was nothing he could do, he didn't need these things himself, so he might as well help Hermione win two dolls.

With a thought, Aisen threw the hoop in his hand.

Three hoops in a row directly landed on three dolls. One was also a cat doll, but it was a pink and white striped one, which Hermione was very happy to receive.

The other two were bear dolls, but Hermione didn't seem to like them much.

This made Aisen very confused. Did she only like cats?

Hmm—, thinking back to when Hermione wanted to buy an owl in her third year but ended up buying a cat named Crookshanks, Aisen suddenly seemed to understand something.

Wait a minute—

In her second year, Hermione accidentally took Polyjuice Potion containing cat hair and turned into a "cat-person". Was it because of this that Hermione started liking cats?

Ah~ this—

Looking at Hermione's happy posture holding the two cat dolls, a strange look appeared on Aisen's face.

Never mind, if she likes cats, she likes cats. It's just a harmless matter! After pondering for a while, Aisensmiled and shook his head.

"Let's go, Professor!" Hermione played with the dolls, stepped forward, pulled Aisen's arm, and squeezed out of the crowd.

...

On the street, traffic was bustling and flowing endlessly. Looking at the surging crowd, where everyone's face more or less carried a hint of hurriedness, Aisen felt very fortunate.

He was fortunate that he had the chance to step into the Wizarding World and become a Witch.

Otherwise, he should also be like those people now, possibly rushing around for life!

Cough cough, that's right, even if he didn't enter the Wizarding World, the millions of pounds he possessed would be enough for him to squander, but compared to his current life, it was clearly far inferior.

After all, mastering extraordinary power was what Aisenlonged for the most.

"Professor, I suddenly have an idea!" Hermione said excitedly, looking at Aisen while eating strawberry-flavored ice cream.

"Oh? What idea?" Aisen asked while holding and eating a fried chicken leg.

"We can put some delicious food in Double Leaf Paradise, and then when we want to eat, cast a spell to increase its quantity. This way, we don't have to spend money to buy it, and we don't have to make it ourselves, right?" A hint of shrewdness flashed in Hermione's eyes.

"Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration..." Aisen drew out his voice.

"I know we can't conjure food out of thin air, but if we know where there is food, we can summon it. Similarly, if we already have some food, we can cast a spell to increase its quantity," Hermione replied with the demeanor of a top student.

"That's a great idea! Whether it's the Engorgement Charm, or the Charm of Enlargement, or the Duplication Charm, applying them to food is very effective," Aisennodded.

"Then, we can collect all the delicious food we've tasted during this time and put it in Double Leaf Paradise. When we want to eat, we can directly cast a spell to increase it. This way, won't we have endless delicious food?"

"Theoretically, doing that is indeed fine. But in reality, you still need to consider a problem!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders.

"What problem?" After finishing her ice cream, Hermionethrew the box into the trash can beside the street.

"The shelf life of food!" Aisen raised an eyebrow. "Hmm—, do you want to put all that delicious food in the piles of ice on the left side of the villa? Using those ice blocks as a refrigerator is fine, but low temperatures will cause some damage to the texture of the food!"

"Professor, do you think the Freezing Spell would work?" With a roll of her eyes, Hermione proposed a solution.

"Freezing Spell?" A hint of surprise flashed in Aisen's eyes.

But after thinking carefully, he found that this spell was indeed very suitable for storing food, just as Hermionesaid.

What effect does the Freezing Spell have? Simply put, it can make people or things stop moving.

Hermione had used this spell in her second year. At that time, Lockhart, in order to let the students practice defense, directly released a cage of Cornish Pixies.

As a result, the entire class, including Lockhart the teacher, were helpless. In the end, it was Hermione who used this spell to subdue these Cornish Pixies.

It was clear that based on the effect when Hermione used this Charm before, this spell could achieve a binding effect.

However, upon further thought, one would realize that the effect of this spell is to make things stop moving. Therefore, to some extent, or if one's strength is sufficient, using it to stop the molecular motion of things is not an impossible feat.

Hmm—

If the molecular motion of an object completely stops, it means the temperature of this object will be as low as absolute zero. No wonder this spell is called the Freezing Spell, so that's how it is!

But if that's the case, the low temperature caused by the Freezing Spell would probably freeze the food into dust, right?

No, no, when Hermione used the Freezing Spell to subdue the Cornish Pixies, she didn't freeze them all to death!

Wait a minute—

The effect of the Freezing Spell is to make things stop moving. Movement is a state, which means the Freezing Spell can actually directly freeze the state of movement of things.

If that's the case, it makes sense.

So, collecting the delicious food into Double Leaf Paradise and then using the Freezing Spell to freeze the state of the food. That would perfectly achieve the effect of storing food.

"Professor, what do you think?" Seeing Aisen silent, Hermione continued to press the question.

"Your idea should be achievable, but if you want to do as you say, you'll need to build a place to store food in Double Leaf Paradise," Aisen slowly nodded.

"Build a canteen? I don't think there's any problem!" A hint of slyness flashed in Hermione's eyes.

"A canteen?" A hint of helplessness appeared on Aisen's face.

"What's wrong? After we wake up from the villa, we get up and go to the canteen to eat. Is there a problem?" Hermione said seriously.

"No, I think your idea is pretty good!" Aisen smiled and shook his head.

...

In the following days, Aisen and Hermione's sightseeing trip became relaxed again.

At Hermione's suggestion, Aisen built an empty canteen in Double Leaf Paradise. Uh, in fact, it was a canteen belonging only to Aisen and Hermione.

Because it was a private canteen, the layout inside was very different from the canteens in other schools or companies.

Canteens elsewhere had kitchens for cooking and dozens of rows of seats for people to sit and eat. But the private canteen Aisen newly built was more like a food storage room.

This food storage room was located on the left side of the villa, between the teleportation array aura and the large blocks of ice piled up further away. It was a large room one hundred meters long, twenty meters wide, and one hundred meters high.

The entire storage room had a door opened at the position closest to the villa. On one side of the entrance, there was a three-meter square dining table, surrounded by several chairs.

After some discussion, Aisen and Hermione felt that setting the dining area directly outdoors in the open was also very suitable.

After entering the storage room from the main door, one would find that the entire interior was a place for arranging and storing food.

An area of two thousand square meters was divided by Aisen into eight thousand equal-sized square areas with sides of zero point five meters to store food.

Similarly, in the one-hundred-meter high space, a layer was divided every half meter upwards, also creating eight thousand equally sized areas.

Thus, after the entire food storage room was built, a total of one million six hundred thousand dishes of delicious food or snacks could be placed inside the room.

Uh, okay, this quantity was already completely sufficient for the two of them.

After a few days, Aisen had collected some of the delicious food and snacks that Hermione liked to eat, such as sponge cake, strawberry-flavored ice cream, crispy roast suckling pig, fried chicken legs, and so on, and put them into the storage room.

Up until two days before the end of the Christmasholiday, Aisen had already collected hundreds of different kinds of delicious food and snacks.

Chapter 392: Language Comprehension

On the last day of the Christmas holiday, also the last day of 1995, Aisen took Hermione to participate in a school-wide competition between teachers and students at Zhengyi School.

Well, it can't exactly be said that he took Hermione to participate. After all, to others, Hermione was an illegal entrant. Therefore, Hermione stayed directly in the Double Leaf Paradise.

While Aisen was watching the duels between students in the arena with others, he directly cast a spell to synchronize and reproduce the scenes he saw onto the Double Leaf Paradise.

This way, while Aisen was outside watching the Zhengyi School students compete, Hermione was also in the Double Leaf Paradise, sitting on a bench and watching their duels with great interest.

After a full day, this duel competition between all teachers and students ended with Aisen narrowly defeating Su Jian, another teacher of the Qimen Dunjia class.

After a grand duel competition, Aisen returned to his dormitory and went straight into the Double Leaf Paradise.

"Professor, is this the Zhengyi School's Duelling Competition?" The moment she saw Aisen's figure, Hermione, who was sitting on the bench, seemed to suddenly become excited.

Looking at her excited expression, it was clear she was still immersed in the dazzling duels from earlier.

"That's right, you've watched all day, do you have any thoughts?" Aisen extended his arm for Hermione to hold onto, and they slowly strolled through the paradise.

"I feel like the students here are very powerful!" Hermione thought for a while, her expression becoming somewhat serious as she spoke.

"How do you think they compare to Hogwarts?" Aisensaid unhurriedly.

"I'm afraid the students from Zhengyi School are still a bit more powerful!" Hermione said, pressing her lips together, seemingly a little disappointed. Clearly, seeing another school surpass her own made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"It's not strange that the students of Hogwarts are not as powerful as the students of Zhengyi School." Aisenpaused, looked at Hermione, and then continued walking forward across the grass.

"Is it because of the Duelling Competition held by Zhengyi School?" Hermione composed herself, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Actually, you'll know if you just compare!" Aisen nodded and said directly, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as one of the best magic schools in the world, is undoubtedly unparalleled in teaching students.

It's just that because of Voldemort, the normal teaching order of the entire Hogwarts School has been disrupted."

"Is Professor referring to the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class at Hogwarts?" Hermione, holding Aisen's arm, had already figured some things out.

"That's right! Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry teaches Little Wizards various knowledge such as Potions, Charms, Divination, Ancient Runes, and so on. This way, after graduating, Little Wizards can live in the Wizarding World based on the knowledge they've learned," Aisen said slowly. "But when it comes to courses involving duelling and practical combat, it really depends on the Defense Against the Dark Arts course."

"Yes, the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class teaches us how to protect ourselves with magic and how to defeat enemies with magic." Hermione couldn't help but nod. "Professor Moody emphasizes this point very much in class."

"If Professor Moody had always been the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, then I think the students of Hogwarts wouldn't be much worse than the students of Zhengyi School in terms of combat," Aisen said with an expression of approval.

Aisen actually very much agreed with Professor Moody's teaching philosophy. From his own personality, you could tell he never easily trusted anyone and remained vigilant towards any suspicious targets.

Clearly, if Hogwarts could have kept him as the Professor of Dark Arts, the students of Hogwarts would probably have at least several times their current strength.

"But the Professor of Dark Arts at Hogwarts keeps changing!" Hermione said, a hint of speechlessness appearing on her face.

"Yes, ever since Dumbledore twice refused Voldemort's application to become the Professor of Dark Arts at Hogwarts, not a single Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts has been able to teach for more than a year," Aisen said, unable to help but shake his head.

For a course, for students to learn the knowledge within it and understand it thoroughly, the teacher of that course must account for at least eighty percent of the effect.

Take Lockhart and Moody, for example.

Both being Professors of Dark Arts, their teaching results can basically be described as worlds apart.

That would be one thing, but the Professor of Dark Artsat Hogwarts changes every year, which is quite outrageous. It's like the Little Wizards at Hogwartswould get used to a certain Professor for a year, build a bit of rapport, and then they would just be replaced.

With this kind of back and forth, it's a wonder the students of Hogwarts could learn Defense Against the Dark Arts well!

"Is it because of this that we are not as good as the students of Zhengyi School?" Hermione said, stopping her steps and looking intently at Aisen.

"Isn't that obvious?" Aisen shrugged after stopping. "Do you know how often Zhengyi School's Duelling Competition is held?"

"Professor, you said it's held once every month!" Hermione blinked.

"That's right, Zhengyi School's duelling competition is held once every month, and the champions and runners-up of each year receive some rewards each time," Aisennodded. "What the specific rewards are is beside the point for now, but they are definitely attractive enough to those students."

"So, the students of Zhengyi School give it their all when participating in the Duelling Competition?" Hermioneimmediately understood the key point.

"That's right, for the students of Zhengyi School, they fight ten times a year, and before graduation, they can gain over seventy practical combat experiences in total. How can Hogwarts School compare to that?" Aisen said, spreading his hands.

"Did their Duelling Competition like this start many years ago?" As if she thought of something, Hermione asked directly.

"That's right, it's been going on for at least twenty years!" Aisen said while continuing to explain. "Also, I found that Zhengyi School's Duelling Competition method is very good!"

"Duelling Competition method?" Hermione looked puzzled.

"Yes, look, starting from the first year, there is a duelling competition for the same year group every month," Aisensaid unhurriedly. "This means that after students study for a month, they can practice through combat. After practicing, they study for another month, and then practice again."

"I understand, their Duelling Competition method, held every other month, perfectly combines learning and practical combat. They can master the new knowledge and abilities they learn each month through practical combat at the end of the month!" Hermione's face showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Now look at Hogwarts, where does it fall short compared to Zhengyi School?" Aisen said, the corner of his mouth turning up slightly.

"Doesn't Hogwarts also have a Duelling Club?" Hermione thought for a moment, then looked at Aisen.

"How many years has Hogwarts' Duelling Club been held?" Aisen chuckled. "Moreover, haven't you noticed that there's a big difference between Zhengyi School's Duelling Competition and Hogwarts' Duelling Club?"

"Difference, Professor means--" Hermione recalled the duelling scenes she had watched earlier and couldn't help but nod.

"Hogwarts' Duelling Club, although it's also a grand event that all teachers and students participate in, is mainly a teaching-based duelling class. In contrast, Zhengyi School's is purely a practical combat competition between students of the same year group," Aisen pointed out the difference between the two.

"That's right, in the duelling class, Professor Snape and Professor Moody teach us new Charms, and only then do they let us practice and duel. It is indeed a bit different from the arena duelling competition method I saw at Zhengyi School earlier."

"That's right, don't think the difference between these two methods is just a little. It's precisely this small difference that leads to a big difference in the teaching effectiveness of the two schools," Aisen said frankly.

"I see! What about me, Professor? I was trained by Professor in the Dream World." Hermione nodded, then as if she thought of something, her eyes darted around, steering the conversation towards herself.

"Well, you watched today's Duelling Competition, didn't you? What did you think of Harry's performance?" Aisen's mouth curved up slightly.

"Professor means that I can also do that, I knew I wouldn't lose to the students of Zhengyi School!" Hearing Aisen's words, Hermione's eyes lit up, and a hint of pride appeared on her face.

"What do you think of the fighting styles of the Zhengyi School students?" Aisen reached out and patted Hermione's head, bringing the topic around.

"Their fighting style is too—too exaggerated!" Hermionesaid, her expression turning strange.

"Do you think Harry and the others' fighting style has changed a bit?" Aisen asked, observing Hermione's expression.

To be honest, although Harry and the others' fighting style had changed a little after months of training at Zhengyi School, the changes weren't too significant.

Perhaps they had taken Aisen's advice, or perhaps they were unable to absorb more knowledge, as their main methods still relied on casting Charms such as the Disarming Charm, Barrier Charm, and Shield Charm with their wands.

Of course, sticking to this familiar fighting style was a very smart choice for Harry and the others. Fortunately, they didn't make a mess of things during the duelling matches, and didn't disrupt their original rhythm.

However, although their fighting style and rhythm remained the same as before, there were some subtle changes in certain details.

For example, they usually cast spells by holding their wand in their right hand and chanting the incantation. Their empty left hand, however, had now found a very suitable use: drawing talismans during spellcasting intervals.

Leaving aside other complex talismans, in today's duelling matches, all four of them, including Harry, demonstrated the ability to draw Lightness Talismans with their left hand during spellcasting intervals.

Clearly, some of the concepts behind Zhengyi School's fighting style were being absorbed by Harry and the others.

"It has changed a bit. I saw Harry drawing—runes?—with his left hand while casting spells and fighting opponents," Hermione looked up at Aisen, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Something like that!" Aisen said vaguely, then turned a corner and walked towards the villa.

Seeing Aisen's reaction, Hermione snorted lightly and didn't press further. However, she then seemed to think of something and asked another question she was quite interested in: "Professor, since the Zhengyi Schoolstudents are so strong, why isn't there any mention of them in the Wizarding World?"

"Mention? What mention?" Aisen said, a smile playing on his face.

"Just Zhengyi School!" Hermione said, pursing her lips. "In England, everyone says Hogwarts is the best magicschool in the world. But if Zhengyi School is so powerful, how come no one knows about it?"

"Well, perhaps Zhengyi School is just more low-key, which is why it's not well-known!" Aisen said casually.

"Is that all?" Hermione opened her mouth, looking a bit stunned.

"What else?" Aisen shrugged. "How many magic schools do you think there are in China?"

"How many magic schools? Isn't there only Zhengyi School here?" Hermione was directly startled.

"I'm not entirely sure of the exact number of magicschools, but I estimate there are at least ten!" Aisenglanced at Hermione, then stated a number.

"But Professor, there's only one magic school in England, Hogwarts, and only eleven magic schools in the entire world!" Hermione had an expression of disbelief.

"Uh, you're right, there are that many magic schools registered with the International Wizarding Federation, but there are probably many hidden and unregistered magic schools!" Aisen nodded.

"Does Professor mean that the magic schools here are all unregistered? But, at least ten magic schools, that's a bit too many!"

"Probably so," Aisen said calmly. "As for the relatively large number of magic schools, it's probably due to the vast territory and larger population of this country."

"I've decided!" Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly became energized, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

"What?" Aisen was surprised by Hermione's change.

"I'm going to stay at Hogwarts from now on, and I'm definitely going to make Hogwarts surpass Zhengyi School!" Hermione said, clenching her fist, as if she had made up her mind.

"Cough cough, no need to rush, we can take our time!" Aisen's smile widened.

"Mhm mhm, Professor, you're also a Professor at Hogwarts, let's work hard together!" Hermione stepped forward and hugged Aisen, then smiled.

The two walked slowly, crossed the lawn, and sat down on a bench not far from the villa. Aisen seemed to have thought of something and spoke directly: "Right, you're going to Hogwarts tomorrow. Since you chose to complete your homework in the Dream World before, now you have to do it again."

"I know!" Hermione said seriously when homework was mentioned.

Seeing Hermione's usual expression, Aisen waved his hand and pulled Hermione into the Dream World.

The whole process was the same as before in the abandoned warehouse. After entering the Dream World, he adjusted the time flow, then brought up Hermione's homework again and had Hermione do it from beginning to end again.

Half an hour later, Aisen brought Hermione out of the Dream World.

"How was it?" Aisen asked with a smile, watching Hermione stand up and stretch.

"Excellent!" Hermione sat down again. "Doing the homework again, I've gotten back into the learning state."

"I knew it, Hermione, you are the best student at Hogwarts!" Aisen was not stingy with his praise.

"Professor, I'm going to Hogwarts tomorrow, will you see me off?" Hermione's face flushed, then she looked at Aisen with expectant eyes.

"Mhm, alright, I'll go to King's Cross Station with you tomorrow!" Aisen nodded with a beaming smile.

...

After Hermione entered the bedroom in the villa, Aisenflashed outside.

Standing in front of the window, his gaze passed through the glass to the quiet night sky, where stars twinkled. Although it was late at night, Zhengyi School was not asleep.

With a little attention, Aisen could hear the chirping conversations and discussions of the students throughout the school grounds.

Clearly, they were still following the duelling matches from that day.

Shaking his head, Aisen went to the desk and sat down.

Reaching out, he tapped the desk, and the book of aisenappeared on the table out of thin air. After flipping through the pages and observing them carefully for a while, Aisen closed and put away the book of aisen, then outlined lines of Ancient Runes with his hand.

Previously, when Aisen had inscribed "Language Comprehension" onto Hermione in the form of runes, he had said he would continue to develop the "Language Comprehension" Charm. Afterwards, he had a new inspiration.

Before, he had been inspired by the Scarpin Revealing Charm. He believed that since it was possible to identify the specific ingredients of unknown Potions through magic, it should naturally be possible to identify the meaning of unknown text using a similar method.

Finally, he succeeded!

Since then, he had actually considered researching "Language Comprehension" as well. But he had never found a starting point.

This time, after inscribing the runes of "Language Comprehension" onto Hermione's body, for some reason, inspiration struck, and he directly found a starting point.

Similar to the process of researching "Language Comprehension" text, Aisen directly selected some detection, analysis, and feedback runes from the outlined Ancient Runes and combined and arranged them.

Of course, it was also different from "Language Comprehension" text. Aisen did not intend to directly use Ancient Runes to identify unknown text. After all, the meaning expressed by language is only the meaning someone intends to convey.

And to understand what someone means, Legilimency or the Mind-Reading Charm that Aisen developed could actually do it.

Therefore, as long as Aisen used these two spells as a basis and combined them with the previously selected Ancient Runes, researching the "Language Comprehension" Charm would not be a big problem.

With a direction in mind, Aisen's thoughts turned, and he directly issued an instruction to the Laplace's Demon System. As a result, in just a few seconds, a ring of brilliant silver light, hovering at his fingertips, appeared out of thin air.

From spell decomposition, rune construction, and rune combination, to the successful creation of a Charm, and then to rune expression. The originally extremely complex procedure was directly skipped by Aisen with the help of the Laplace's Demon System, and he directly completed the final step.

A moment later, when the ring at Aisen's fingertips dissipated, he had already inscribed the "Language Comprehension" rune onto himself.

This meant that from now on, on Earth, there would be no language he couldn't understand!

Chapter 393: Meteorite from the Sky

Early the next morning, after Aisen entered Double Leaf Paradise, he found that Hermione had already woken up.

At this moment, she was sitting upright at the desk in front of the villa, flipping through the copy of journey to the west that Aisen had given her. Seeing Aisen's figure, she closed the book and excitedly asked, "Professor, are we leaving now?"

"Have you forgotten about the time difference?" Aisenwaved to Hermione. "Let's go, let's eat something first!"

The two walked towards the food storage room.

They sat down at the outdoor dining table outside the entrance to the food storage room. After Aisen cast a Charm to duplicate several plates of gourmet snacks, he enjoyed them with Hermione.

"Professor, I've found a problem!" Hermione said while eating golden egg fried rice.

"What problem?" Aisen shoveled the dumplings on his plate into his mouth and looked at Hermione upon hearing her words.

"I've eaten so many delicious things here. What if I can't get used to the food at Hogwarts when I go back?" Hermione picked up her cup and took a sip of soy milk.

"This isn't a problem, is it?" Aisen swallowed his food, reached out, and tapped the table. "The food at Hogwartsis made by House-elves. Although the types of gourmet food are different from here, the taste is still very good."

"What I mean is, I want to eat here in the future!" Hermione glanced at Aisen, then quickly averted her gaze.

"Of course, that's not a problem! Wait a moment—" Aisenput down his chopsticks and, as he spoke, used his finger to draw a square area on the dining table.

Then, a faint light appeared, and magic runes danced in the air at his fingertips. As these magic runes flickered, ripples spread out.

As if distorting Space-Time, the ripples quickly swept through the entire food storage room, and then were blocked back as if water waves had hit an embankment.

As the ripples gathered and shrank back into the few magic runes, Aisen's finger continued to move. Then, the magic runes seemed to scatter, falling directly into the square area he had previously marked.

"Professor, what is this?" Watching Aisen's series of actions, Hermione's eating slowed down slightly.

"Look!" Aisen said, pressing the square area with his finger and then swiping it towards Hermione.

As Aisen moved, the square area seemed to be duplicated, directly splitting off another area that appeared in front of Hermione.

"Is this all the gourmet food in the storage room?" Hermione looked at the square area on the table in front of her, slid her finger over it a few times, and an expression of surprise appeared on her face.

"That's right. Didn't you say you wanted to eat here? Well, you can come over anytime in the future. Whatever you want to eat, just select it on here and confirm." Aisenpointed to the tabletop, indicating it to Hermione.

Simply put, Aisen cast a Charm to create a square virtual screen on the dining table. The screen displayed all the gourmet food stored in the storage room.

If a certain gourmet dish is selected and confirmed, the magic solidified by Aisen's Charm will automatically activate, duplicating the food and summoning it to the dining table.

This way, if Hermione comes here to enjoy the gourmet food, she only needs to operate on the screen herself, and Aisen won't need to cast Charms manually.

"That's truly amazing!" Hermione said and started eating heartily again.

After eating, Aisen inscribed the Language Comprehension Charm he had created the previous day onto Hermione in the form of runes. Only then did he take Hermione and leave Double Leaf Paradise.

...

London, a square somewhere in the West End.

At two o'clock in the dead of night, when Aisen and Hermione appeared, they found that it was actually drizzling here. Raindrops sprinkled onto the brick-paved streets, making a rustling sound.

The shops around the square shone with brilliant lights, adding a bit of life to the sleeping city, but there seemed to be no one entering or leaving.

Clearly, in the dead of such a night, especially on a rainy night, even if this city was the most prosperous modern metropolis, there were few people around.

Rumble—

Along with the raindrops falling from high above, occasional peals of thunder could be heard.

"I didn't expect it to be raining in London!" Hermionelinked her arm through Aisen's, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Because both of them had waterproof and fireproof runes inscribed on them, the raindrops couldn't fall on them at all.

"Have you ever walked around London at this time before?" Aisen and Hermione strolled leisurely down the street.

"No!" Hermione shook her head. "Who would come out at this time and in this weather?"

The two walked through streets, passed tall buildings, occasionally seeing one or two figures moving through the rain, and occasionally seeing a few cars driving on the street.

The glass curtain wall displays on the buildings played advertisements for jewelry and cosmetics non-stop, and the sounds from some shopping malls or bars occasionally reached Aisen and Hermione's ears.

Boom—

At a certain moment, an inexplicable sound caught Aisenand Hermione's attention.

"Professor, what is that?" Hermione clutched Aisen's arm.

Aisen didn't say anything, just maximized his senses.

Immediately after, he seemed to discover something and looked up towards a certain spot. His gaze focused continuously on the distance, and then Aisen discovered a three-foot-square—meteorite, falling from the sky.

"A meteorite?" Aisen was a little confused.

In his memories of his previous life, there seemed to be no news reports about meteorites landing in the West End of London, England. Of course, Aisen was referring to a meteorite that was still three feet square after passing through the atmosphere and undergoing friction and combustion.

One must know that a meteorite of this size would weigh at least several hundred pounds. The destructive power caused by a meteorite of this size landing in the West End of London would probably be no less than that of a nuclear bomb.

"Professor, is it really a meteorite?" Hermione followed Aisen's gaze and seemed to see a line of fire descending diagonally from the horizon.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Looking at the meteorite's trajectory, Aisen just had a thought and used the convenience of the Laplace's Demon System to calculate its detailed landing point.

Immediately, he took Hermione and Apparated Without A Trace through streets and alleys towards a certain direction.

A simple application of Apparition Without A Trace, taking one step and crossing distances of hundreds or thousands of meters, was like shrinking the ground into inches, which was perfectly appropriate here.

"Professor, is this the direction of the suburbs?" In just a moment, Aisen took Hermione through an area of tall buildings and arrived at a vast, empty plain.

"It seems this meteorite chose a clever place to land!" Aisen smiled and continued to move towards the meteorite's landing point with Hermione.

"Professor, if such a large meteorite lands here, will it cause an earthquake?" After seeing the meteorite through Aisen's gaze, worry appeared in Hermione's eyes.

"It's alright, the meteorite is landing in an uninhabited wilderness area and won't cause any harm!" Aisencomforted her. "Don't worry, I'll cast a Charm!"

Boom—

When Aisen and Hermione arrived at a flat depression, a huge roar sounded, and the flaming meteorite had crashed into the soil overgrown with bushes and weeds.

The momentum of the meteorite's descent should have been much greater, but Aisen had said earlier that he would cast a Charm, so a simple vibration dampening and speed reduction directly nullified its vibration and destructive power.

Hiss—

Raindrops were still falling from the sky. When the raindrops fell on the half of the meteorite buried in the soil, they immediately made sizzling sounds, and at the same time, a mist steamed up, obscuring the entire meteorite.

"Lumos—" Hermione called out clearly, and then a point of light appeared out of nowhere, landing on the meteorite buried in the soil.

Through the light, Aisen carefully observed the meteorite that had fallen from the sky. After sensing it carefully, he found that this meteorite was indeed just an ordinary meteorite, with no traces of magic on it.

Clearly, this meteorite was not summoned by some bored Witch who cast a spell called 'Meteorite Descent'.

"Professor, how is it?" Hermione followed beside Aisen, asking curiously.

"It's just an ordinary meteorite!" Aisen reached out and had a thought. The half of the meteorite already buried in the soil seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, lifting out of the soil and lightly landing in front of the two of them.

"Are meteorites very valuable?" Hermione said, and pound signs seemed to start appearing in her eyes again.

"What are you thinking?" Aisen tapped Hermione on the head. "Do we still need to make money by selling meteorites? Our company has made two hundred million pounds in the past few years!"

"Two hundred million pounds? Is that money Aisen Film Company earned?" Hermione seemed to think of something, and her eyes revealed intense interest.

"That's right. Do you remember the Christmas present you gave me in fourth year?" Aisen waved his hand and put away the entire meteorite.

"In fourth year, the Christmas present I gave you, Professor? Hmm, let me think—" Hermione said, falling into thought.

"Let's go!" After collecting the meteorite, Aisen took Hermione and moved towards the city.

"Professor, I remember now, wasn't it 'The Adventures of Howard Castle'?" Hermione suddenly spoke.

"That's right. After the movie was released, do you know how much it made?" Speaking of this, Aisen immediately laughed, "It made a full forty million pounds!"

"Really, Professor?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to react, "Then, as the screenwriter, do I get a share of the profits?"

"What share? Why bother with such trouble? Isn't what's mine yours?" Aisen reached out and ruffled Hermione's head.

"Professor, how about we build a cinema in Double Leaf Paradise?" Hermione's face flushed, and she changed the subject.

"You want to watch movies?" Aisen asked back.

"Yes, I can watch them when I have time!" Hermionenodded.

"Then it's better for me to cast a spell and take you to the Dream World, where you can see anything you want!" Aisen said frankly.

"The experience in the Dream World is different from the experience in Double Leaf Paradise! What do you think, Professor?" Hermione tightened her grip on Aisen's arm.

"Alright, let's do as you say!" Aisen thought for a moment and felt that building a so-called cinema wouldn't matter.

At some point, the raindrops continuously falling from the sky disappeared.

Time passed bit by bit, and after six or seven hours, the sky was completely bright.

Between Platform Nine and Platform Ten at King's Cross Station, Hermione waved at Aisen.

"Professor, I'm leaving now!"

"Go ahead. If you need anything, you can tell me in the Chat Group anytime. If you want to see me, you can enter Double Leaf Paradise anytime!" Aisen smiled and nodded.

After Hermione's figure disappeared, Aisen waited quietly for a while, then shrugged and returned to Zhengyi School.

...

After returning to the dormitory at Zhengyi School, Aisendidn't go out but directly entered Double Leaf Paradise.

The continent of Double Leaf Paradise, built from meteorites, is about seventy kilometers in size. The villa Aisen built is located in the central area of this continent.

At this moment, Aisen stood at the edge of Double Leaf Paradise, observing a stone placed on the ground.

This stone was bumpy, as if it had been burned by fire, and some parts of it had a glassy color. Clearly, this was the meteorite Aisen had collected earlier in the suburbs of London.

Looking at this three-foot-square large stone, Aisenestimated that it weighed at least four or five tons.

But honestly, there was nothing extraordinary about this fallen meteorite, and he had no intention of selling it at all.

He just felt that since this meteorite had fallen from the sky, and the continent beneath his feet was also built from decomposed meteorites, it would be more appropriate to simply decompose this meteorite.

As his thoughts turned, Aisen's eyes moved, and he saw the meteorite before him, as if it had suffered Space-Time erosion, quickly turning into quicksand and scattering on the ground.

However, just as Aisen was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that within the meteorite that had turned into quicksand, there was a fist-sized crystal.

The crystal was overall platinum-colored and opaque, like a piece of metal. It looked fist-sized and had distinct edges and corners, and its shape was quite similar to the Philosopher's Stone Aisen had once seen.

However, perhaps it was an illusion, but the moment Aisen saw this platinum-colored crystal, he immediately felt a strong sense of "sharpness."

It was as if the sharpest blade in the world was pointed at Aisen's neck, giving him a feeling that his safety was threatened.

As soon as this feeling appeared, Aisen was greatly startled, and then he immediately cast the strongest protective shield he could. However, even so, Aisen still felt uneasy when looking at the platinum-colored crystal.

"What is this thing?" Aisen muttered, turning his gaze aside, but at that moment, he was surprised to find that the feeling of uneasiness immediately disappeared.

After pondering for a while, Aisen placed his gaze on the platinum-colored crystal again, and then moved his gaze away. After doing this several times, he seemed to understand something and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It was strange to say, whenever Aisen's gaze was on the platinum-colored crystal, he would feel a sharpness entering through his eyes, making him feel uneasy.

But as soon as he moved his gaze away, that feeling of uneasiness completely disappeared.

After several attempts, Aisen turned his head to calm his slightly fluctuating emotions, and then cast a spell to sense his own condition. As a result, the platinum-colored crystal seemed to have no effect on him.

Immediately after, Aisen seemed to think of something. He conjured several mirrors and then used the reflection in the mirrors to see the platinum-colored crystal.

Instantly, that feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart again.

"So, what exactly is this thing?" Aisen cast several detection Charms, analysis Charms, and so on, but found nothing strange about this object.

After pondering for a moment, Aisen squatted down and reached out his hand.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the platinum-colored crystal, he seemed to think of something and stopped immediately.

That's right, at this moment, Aisen hesitated.

The reason, of course, was that he didn't understand this platinum-colored crystal enough.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at this platinum-colored crystal would give him a feeling of endless sharpness rushing towards him, let alone touching it.

If nothing happened, that would be fine, but if something did happen, wouldn't that be terrible?

What? You said Aisen himself wasn't invincible like super man? He originally thought so too, but who would have thought that just seeing a platinum-colored crystal could give him a feeling of uneasiness?

While understanding this, Aisen also felt a sense of absurdity.

Previously, Aisen had great confidence in his strength, but he still didn't dare say he was invincible in the Wizarding World. But since "sleeping" for nearly ten thousand years, he had absolute certainty that he could be invincible in this world.

And at this moment, what he never expected was that a seemingly ordinary platinum-colored crystal could make him feel uneasy. This was truly a bit unbelievable.

Thinking of this, Aisen withdrew his outstretched hand and began casting spells again.

Unlike the detection Charms and other spells he had cast before, at this moment, he cast Fire Charms, Blasting Charms, Charm of Enlargement, Shrinking Charms, Fiendfyre Curse, and other spells.

Moreover, Aisen even directly cast Transfiguration on this platinum-colored crystal.

But without exception, the platinum-colored crystal seemed like an artifact that could withstand any calamity and was eternally indestructible, completely unaffected.

Or perhaps, that platinum-colored crystal was not in this layer of Space-Time, so Aisen couldn't exert any influence on it!

How strange, what exactly is this thing? Why would it be wrapped in a meteorite and fall to Earth? It looks like a piece of metal, and also like a crystal.

Wait—

Can withstand any calamity and is eternally indestructible? Then wouldn't a Horcrux made with this thing be absolutely indestructible?

"Well, although I don't know what this thing is, I can't just throw it away!" Aisen said, standing up and letting out a long breath, then couldn't help but shake his head.

For some reason, Aisen suddenly discovered that the unknown mysteries of this world seemed to be increasing. Just like the platinum-colored crystal before him, and the magic planet he had previously discovered—Jupiter.

As his thoughts turned, the quicksand that Aisen had just decomposed quickly flowed, gathering around the platinum-colored crystal like water, and then rapidly transformed into a silver-white metal plate, lifting the platinum-colored crystal.

With a flash of his figure, Aisen moved into the warehouse with the metal plate, directly placing the metal plate along with the platinum-colored crystal on it in a certain area on the partition.

Chapter 394 Kunlun Jade Palace

"Oh—" Just as Professor Aisen was about to leave the warehouse, he noticed that the black bead, which the Laplace's Demon System had analyzed as such, was undergoing some unexpected changes not far away.

Inside the black bead, the chaotic-colored threads that occasionally appeared within it were continuously swirling, and a subtle white-gold color emerged.

If the light in the warehouse hadn't been dim, and if Professor Aisen hadn't taken another look, he really wouldn't have noticed this change.

That subtle white-gold color emerged, then attached itself to the chaotic-colored threads, as if triggering a chain reaction. After a moment, within one of the chaotic-colored threads in the black bead, a white-gold thread was interspersed.

The threads circulated endlessly within the bead, with the chaotic color and white-gold color clearly distinct.

Looking at the changes in the bead, and then at the white-gold crystal on the tray next to it, Professor Aisenfell into contemplation for a moment.

Could there be some connection between these two?

Hmm—, as for their common point, it's obvious that Professor Aisen's detection Charm couldn't affect either. But even so, that doesn't mean there's a connection, does it?

Wait—

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures? Could it be that this white-gold crystal also counts as a type of heavenly material and earthly treasure? Thinking of the origins of these two items, a look of realization appeared on Professor Aisen's face.

Looking at the white-gold crystal placed on the partition in the metal tray, and then at the black bead on the other side with chaotic-colored threads interspersed with white-gold threads swirling within it, Professor Aisenhesitated for a moment and did not move it away.

From the current situation, the changes occurring in these two items do not seem to be a bad thing. ProfessorAisen's spiritual sense did not detect that this change would cause him any harm.

Similarly, through the calculations and deductions of the Laplace's Demon System, Professor Aisen also did not find that this change would cause him any harm. On the contrary, in the deductions, this change is very likely to bring great benefits.

After reaching this conclusion, Professor Aisen's worries were basically put to rest.

After a long while, Professor Aisen smiled and shook his head, then turned and left the warehouse.

…

The setting sun cast its afterglow through the window onto the entire desk, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

However, as Professor Aisen sat upright at his desk, looking at the golden light spread across the table, a hint of laziness couldn't help but arise in his heart. He felt as if he had fallen into a soft and comfortable dream, not wanting to do anything, just wanting to sit quietly and stare blankly.

The sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Professor Aisen. In his perception, the Energy Absorptionrunes in his body were constantly operating, absorbing and decomposing the sunlight…

For the already invincible Professor Aisen, he was like an energy black hole at this moment. Although he wouldn't actively and limitlessly seize energy, any energy that approached him would still be absorbed by him.

Time flowed by little by little, and the shadow of the sunlight projected through the window in the room continuously moved.

At a certain moment, the sunlight suddenly contracted from the room, and the entire room instantly dimmed.

Professor Aisen seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly shivered, becoming instantly much more "awake". Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, he flicked his finger slightly, and the room's lights brightened considerably.

"Hmm—, is it time to be idle again?" Professor Aisenstood up from his seat, stretched, and yawned widely.

Bang bang—

A series of knocks on the door reached Professor Aisen's ears. Professor Aisen, who already knew who the visitors were, directly waved his hand to open the door out of thin air, watching Harry, Hanna, and the others walk in.

"Professor Aisen, is your Christmas holiday over?" Before Professor Aisen could say anything, Hanna immediately asked.

"For me, every day is a holiday!" Professor Aisenshrugged his shoulders, and then looked at them with a smile, "What is it, is there something going on?"

"It's nothing big, we just wanted to talk to you about the Quidditch match, Professor!" Harry scratched his head and leaned against the wall opposite Professor Aisen.

"What about the Quidditch match? I remember your team won?" Professor Aisen waved his hand, and four chairs appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"Yes, I heard from the school teachers that the winning team will go to Kunlun on the first day of April to participate in the National Quidditch Super League." Harry pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I've heard about this." Professor Aisen leaned back and sat on the corner of the desk, his hands in his pockets, "It is said that the location of the match is on a Floating City, and the match will last for three days. But, is there a problem?"

"Harry will go to the Floating City with the Zhengyi School Quidditch team at that time, but the rest of us will need to buy tickets to enter the Floating City to watch the match!" Padma, who was nearby, answered directly.

"So, apart from the participating teams, everyone else has to buy their own tickets, and the school won't buy tickets for you all?" Professor Aisen looked at their faces, and then said with realization.

"Yes, I heard that you can buy tickets at the Jindouyun Company!" Harry said, looking at the other three, and then turned his gaze to Professor Aisen.

"Do you few want to buy tickets?" Professor Aisen's gaze was on Hanna, Padma, and Malfoy.

Seeing that all three of them nodded, Professor Aisencontinued, "Then why don't you just buy the tickets yourselves at that time? The tickets go on sale at the end of February, I don't think you should have any problem buying tickets!"

"Professor, you agree?" Hanna looked at Professor Aisenwith a joyful expression.

Not only Hanna, but also Padma and Malfoy smiled. However, seeing the expressions on their faces, ProfessorAisen's expression became strange.

"What's there to disagree with! Going to the Floating Cityto watch the match might be the only experience in your life. This experience is extremely rare, of course I won't disagree!"

"Then will you go to watch the match at that time, Professor Aisen?" Seeing Professor Aisen say this, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately after, Harry asked another question.

"Go to the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city to watch the Quidditch match?" Professor Aisen pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded, "If there are no unexpected circumstances, I will buy a ticket to watch the match!"

To be honest, Professor Aisen was also quite curious about the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city.

In his past life's memory, the Kunlun Jade Palace was the Dao field of the Primordial Celestial Venerable in myths and legends, a place that ordinary cultivators could never set foot in.

Unexpectedly, in this life, the Kunlun Jade Palace has become a so-called Floating City.

Moreover, from the conversation with the Zhengyi Schoolstudents last time, it can be learned that the status of this Floating City in the China Wizarding World should be very special.

Otherwise, there would be no restrictions on cultivators buying residences there.

For ordinary cultivators, the only opportunity to ascend the Kunlun Jade Palace each year is to buy tickets to watch the National Quidditch Super League held on the Floating City.

Others who want to live in the Floating City either need to be graduates of the Kunlun School who have passed the assessment, or have made significant contributions or remarkable inventions to the cultivation world.

Clearly, Professor Aisen was quite curious about such a mysterious place.

"Then, Professor, can you help us buy tickets?" Seeing Professor Aisen nod, Hanna asked softly.

So this was your purpose? Professor Aisen immediately laughed, "Alright, alright, I'll help you each buy a ticket for the National Quidditch Super League at that time."

"Thank you, Professor!" "Professor, you're amazing!"

"Harry, you're going with the team, you don't need a ticket, right?" Professor Aisen shook his head slightly, then looked at Harry.

"Yes, the players of the Zhengyi School Quidditch team participating in the competition don't need to buy tickets!" Harry nodded.

"Alright! Is there anything else?" Professor Aisen changed the subject and his gaze swept over the few of them.

"No!" They answered in unison.

"Are there any problems with your studies?" ProfessorAisen said as he stood up, and seeing no unusual expressions on their faces, he immediately waved his hand to open the door and gestured.

After they shook their heads to indicate that there were no problems, they crowded together and left ProfessorAisen's room.

Through the door, watching their figures gradually disappear, Professor Aisen withdrew his gaze. Thinking about their purpose in coming over earlier, ProfessorAisen couldn't help but shake his head.

Speaking of which, there was one thing that ProfessorAisen found very strange.

That is to say, why can cultivators here build Floating Cities, while in other parts of the world, or rather, in the England Wizarding World, there is no news of anyone building a Floating City?

Could it be that the England Wizarding World doesn't have the technology to build Floating Cities?

Regarding this point, Aisen felt he should reserve judgment. After all, for a Witch who can use magic, this is truly not an impossible task.

A careful inventory would reveal that building a Floating City doesn't require any difficult-to-achieve technologies.

Aisen could guess the construction technology of the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city from the curriculum content of Zhengyi School; it must have utilized the technology of talismans and formations.

Of course, various strengthening spells and the like must have also been applied.

Similarly, Witches in the England Wizarding World, if they wanted to build a Floating City, would also use similar skills. For example, the Levitation Charm, the Hardening Charm, and so on.

Uh, just like Aisen himself, didn't he successfully build a floating continent in Double Leaf Paradise? If he wanted to, he could completely build various facilities and turn it into a Floating City.

So, why haven't any Witches wanted to build a Floating City? Is it because they are worried about being destroyed by Dark Witches casting spells, or worried about being shot down by spells?

Hmm—, this possibility might exist, but it doesn't seem to be too big of a problem. After all, the Wizarding Worldstill has many powerful defensive Charms.

Thoughts raced through Aisen's mind. After thinking for a long time, he directly shook his head and then laughed: "Thinking too much! Floating Cities and the like, let's talk about them later!"

...

The next morning, Aisen specifically came to the teaching building of Zhengyi School and then entered the Headmaster's office.

"Oh! This is a rare sight for you. Do you have something today?" Zou Zunian was holding a piece of—uh, a jade tablet that looked very much like a tablet computer, and was writing and drawing.

"Yes, I have something I need to ask about!" Aisen's mouth twitched, but he didn't mind the other party's attitude.

"Sit down!" Zou Zunian put the jade tablet on the side of the desk and smiled at Aisen: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"No difficulties," Aisen waved his hand after sitting down, "I mainly want to ask about the specific situation of Kunlun Jade Palace!"

"Oh—, you must have heard about it from the National Quidditch Super League!" Zou Zunian said, reaching for the teapot on the side of the table, pouring tea into a cup, and handing it to Aisen.

"I heard that the National Quidditch Super League is being held in the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city, and I want to learn about Kunlun Jade Palace," Aisen said slowly after taking the teacup.

"Well—," Zou Zunian pondered, seemingly organizing his words.

Aisen slowly sipped his tea, waiting quietly without disturbing the other party.

"Do you know when Kunlun Jade Palace was built?" Zou Zunian, who had come back to his senses, asked back.

"Hmm, I know that Kunlun Jade Palace is the dojo of the Taoist supreme deity Yuanshi Tianzun in myths and legends, but in the real world, I guess the construction of Kunlun Jade Palace should have taken more than a thousand years," Aisen placed the teacup on the table.

"Actually, the construction history of Kunlun Jade Palaceis only eighty-plus years," Zou Zunian shook his head, giving a surprising answer.

"Eighty-plus years, that should be impossible, right?" Aisen said, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Kunlun Jade Palace and Kunlun Jade Palace floating cityare two different things!" Zou Zunian continued.

"In other words, the name Kunlun Jade Palace has existed for a long time, and when the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city was built eighty-plus years ago, it just borrowed the name of Kunlun Jade Palace?" Aisen showed a thoughtful expression.

"Zhengyi School, I presume you are aware of it," Zou Zunian changed the topic.

"I know a little! I heard from Professor Zhang Mingwenthat Zhengyi School has a strong connection with the Zhengyi Sect. Students who graduate from Zhengyi School may enter the Zhengyi School for further study!" Aisen nodded.

"I know you are quite knowledgeable about our culture," Zou Zunian smiled, "Actually, Kunlun School and the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city were jointly established and built by our various sects."

"So that's how it is!" Hearing Zou Zunian's explanation, Aisen immediately understood, "Then, which sects jointly created it?"

"Well, I can only tell you briefly," Zou Zunian hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "Zhengyi, Maoshan, Wudang, Huashan, Laoshan, Shushan, Quanzhen, Chunyang..."

Hearing some familiar names from Zou Zunian, Aisenunderstood what was going on.

However, Aisen wasn't quite sure about the matter of these sects jointly establishing Kunlun School and building the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city.

Just like the Zhengyi School built by the Zhengyi School.

Since each sect has the ability to build their own schools, there is absolutely no need to unite and build another Kunlun School.

What is this if not a waste of resources?

With some doubts in his heart, Aisen immediately asked this question.

And Zou Zunian's answer was both unexpected and seemed perfectly reasonable.

Simply put, in that era of opening up to the world a hundred years ago, people's thinking underwent huge changes. In order to follow the trend of the times, or rather, to explore more possibilities.

In addition to creating their own relatively "closed" schools, the various sects also united to create a "semi-closed, semi-open" Kunlun School. The Kunlun Jade Palace floating city was also built at that time.

The development of the various sects in the secular world is left to nature, but the development of the various sects in the cultivation world is relatively hidden.

For example, the schools belonging to the various sects are internal, and the talents they cultivate are also returned to the various sects as much as possible. The others are either completely hidden within the country.

Kunlun School, on the other hand, looks to the international community to showcase its abilities, or serves as an outpost for monitoring the dynamics of the international Wizarding World.

After decades of development, although the openness of the schools belonging to the various sects has increased, they are still developing in a closed manner.

And although Kunlun School looks to the international community, it is not very open, but is developing in a semi-closed manner.

Just like Zhengyi School, although spellcasting with magic wands and Quidditch are already popular within the school, this school is not known to the international Wizarding World.

Kunlun School, although it is not registered with the International Wizarding Federation, is known to the Ministries of magic of various countries.

As for the Kunlun Jade Palace floating city, its ownership actually belongs to the various sects.

To purchase housing in Kunlun Jade Palace and reside permanently in this Floating City, the sects' external requirements are to have made significant contributions to the cultivation world, or to have some remarkable inventions or creations.

Graduates of Kunlun School also have the qualification to reside permanently in Kunlun Jade Palace after passing a specialized assessment.

To some extent, this should be a means for the various sects to "attract" talent.

Of course, besides this, there is not no way to reside permanently in Kunlun Jade Palace. As long as you open a company or shop there, you can do so.

In other words, if you open a shop there as a boss, you can obtain the qualification to purchase a house and reside permanently.

"You mean, Kunlun School is about to register with the International Wizarding Federation?" Zou Zunianrevealed a piece of information, which surprised Aisen.

"That's right, but it might still take two years!" Zou Zuniannodded.

"What about Kunlun Jade Palace?" Aisen seemed to have thought of something and focused his attention on this Floating City.

"You'll know about Kunlun Jade Palace when the time comes!" Zou Zunian smiled and didn't reveal any more related information.

"This is truly—" Aisen let out a long sigh, "—astonishing news."

"By the way, although this news doesn't need to be kept secret, I hope you won't reveal it for now," as if he had thought of something, Zou Zunian reminded him.

"It doesn't need to be kept secret?" Aisen was a little surprised.

"Many company bosses on our side actually already know, and some people on your side might have guessed it. But no matter what, we have to wait until things are settled before we can officially announce it, right?" Zou Zunian explained casually.

"I understand!" Listening to Zou Zunian's explanation, Aisen suddenly remembered what the owner of the Huaguo Mountain Wand Shop branch in Qingshan Market had said earlier about accepting gold Galleons and entering the international market, and he suddenly understood some things.

Chapter 395: The Dinner Party

After leaving Zou Zunian's office, Aisen's life returned to peace.

When he had nothing to do each day, he would go out and wander around, seeing the mountains and rivers in various places, experiencing the beautiful scenery, and collecting some local delicacies and snacks along the way.

In his leisure time, he could also chat with Hermione, gather in the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, and so on.

For a time, Aisen's life became so enjoyable that he forgot to return home.

Of course, in addition to that, the matter of building a spaceship that was mentioned earlier was also slowly being built with the help of the Laplace's Demon System.

If Aisen were just an ordinary person without magic, it would probably take him a lifetime to build a spaceship, and he might not even be able to build it.

Not to mention anything else, even an airplane, which is easier to build than a spaceship, requires tens of millions of parts.

Fortunately, Aisen is a Witch who has mastered the magical power of magic, not to mention that the Laplace's Demon System is implanted in his body, and he has already transformed into a humanoid supercomputer.

Thus, as long as Aisen issues a command, building a spaceship is a very easy matter.

What's more, the spaceship he intends to build is not a normal spaceship, but just an iron shell that looks like a spaceship.

What? You say an iron shell can fly in space? Normally speaking, this is indeed a joke. But it doesn't matter, Aisenis a man who has mastered magic!

He just needs to cast a spell to carve out a few luxury suites in this spaceship-shaped iron shell, then cast a spell to reinforce it, and engrave runes of flying, gravity, anti-gravity, etc., onto it!

You really can't say otherwise!

So what if the spaceship Aisen built is just an iron shell? As long as this iron shell can fly in space and looks like a spaceship, who can say it's not a spaceship? Right!

After the spaceship was built, Hermione also visited it with great interest. Inside, besides a few luxury suites, there was also a spacious hall.

Inside the hall, Hermione also decorated it with many dolls.

After a tour, Hermione gave it a name, calling it the "Double Leaf" spaceship.

Of course, putting aside Aisen's own leisurely life, he found that the atmosphere at Zhengyi School seemed to have changed a little.

On the surface, the campus was still as calm as usual, but secretly, as the Spring Festival approached, the students' moods became higher day by day.

Approaching mid-February, Aisen was surprised to find that the entire school had been submerged in a sea of red.

Teaching buildings, the Library, the cafeteria, dormitory buildings, etc., red hanging ropes woven with blessings were hung everywhere, and paper cuttings full of festive joy were pasted in the corridors and hallways.

As for this kind of festive atmosphere, Aisen was okay. Although he hadn't seen it for many years, this scene was still hidden deep in his memory. Seeing this scene now, he only felt familiar and emotional.

As for Harry and the others from Hogwarts, they also seemed particularly happy in this festive atmosphere.

...

Finally, the semester ended! The students of Zhengyi School left the school and embarked on their way home. Suddenly, more than half of the entire school was empty.

A silence like a forest washed by heavy rain suddenly enveloped the campus nestled in the valley.

In the early morning, Aisen walked around Zhengyi School, occasionally encountering a few students with joyful faces, but he didn't feel dull, just that although there were many fewer students in the school, the festive atmosphere had not diminished much.

In the bamboo forest next to the Library, many red silk ribbons fluttered, and Chinese knots hung down from the branches and leaves, swaying in the wind and captivating the heart.

Aisen transformed a rocking chair at the edge of the stone wall in front of the teaching building in the bamboo forest and lay on it comfortably.

Immediately after, Aisen snapped his fingers, and a swirling cloud of gray and white gas floated above his head, blocking the dazzling sunlight.

With a flick of his hand, a book from a certain area in the warehouse was taken by Aisen, and he read it with great interest.

The book he was reading was the "Ancient RunesEssays" that he had read before.

Previously, he had a deep study of the Ancient Runesrecorded in this book and the related concepts within it. In fact, he was already able to research and deduce new runes through the runes within it.

Looking at it again now, he just wanted to verify whether the runes calculated and deduced by the Laplace's Demon System had anything in common with the Ancient Runes recorded in the book.

In Aisen's view, Ancient Runes, to some extent, are a manifestation of the essence of magic in this world. Therefore, after in-depth study, Aisen felt that starting with Ancient Runes was an excellent way to touch the essence of magic.

For example, there is a rune in the book, which, when outlined by mobilizing the magic in the body, can express the ability of fire in magic.

But after in-depth study, Aisen found that if this rune was slightly adjusted and then outlined, it could show the ability of light in magic.

However, in the calculations and deductions of the Laplace's Demon System, Aisen found that an extremely simple rune could cover most runes through adjustment.

Especially in this verification, after re-examining all the runes recorded in the book, Aisen was surprised to find that each of these Ancient Runes had thousands of transformation directions.

In other words, if the essence of Ancient Runes is completely mastered, all runes can be deduced through one rune.

After turning to the last page of "Ancient Runes Essays," Aisen smiled, closed the book, and put it away in the warehouse in the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled.

Aisen simply lay on the rocking chair, his gaze focused on the clear blue sky.

Real and illusion?

At this moment, Aisen thought of the Dream God Spellhe had created, and the Dream World he had created.

Although he claimed to be on the path to becoming a god through the power of faith, he was completely unsure when he would achieve his goal.

But no matter what, in the real world, although he was already invincible, he really couldn't be as nearly omnipotent as he was in the Dream World.

How can the illusory Dream World transform into a real world?

Hmm—, can the Dream World be integrated into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space on his body? Well, this idea is not bad, but how to do it is completely unclear!

Thinking of this, Aisen analyzed it through the Laplace's Demon System. As a result, two feasible solutions were given.

One of them is to dismantle the Dream God Spell into runes, and then engrave them in the form of runes on the boundary of the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.

After the rune engraving wraps the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, the Laplace's Demon System will fully mobilize the magic in Aisen's body to cast a spell to make Aisen's "will" come true.

This is not a specific Charm, but rather it borrows the extremely subjective ability of magic in this world to make his wishes come true.

This plan may allow Aisen to integrate the Dream Worldinto the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, and then transform the entire space into his domain or god name.

But the problem is, how to engrave runes on the boundary of the Double-Leaf Paradise Space? After all, since Aisen opened up and integrated the legendary storage space characteristics within his body, he hasn't really perceived the existence of the so-called "space barrier" or "space crystal wall."

Furthermore, even if Aisen could perceive the existence of the Space-Time boundary, he would not engrave the Dream God Spell runes.

Because this plan is just one of the plans analyzed by the Laplace's Demon System. Although it is feasible, it cannot guarantee 100% success.

What if it fails? Right!

As for the other plan, in Aisen's opinion, it is more feasible.

This plan is to use the power of faith to connect the Dream World and the Double-Leaf Paradise Space. To put it simply, it is to use the power of faith as a catalyst to integrate the Dream World into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.

Aisen thought that when he was in the mirror Space-Time outside the real world, the power of faith could descend out of thin air and pass through. Therefore, with the magical degree of the power of faith, it is not surprising that the Dream World can be connected and integrated into the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.

After all, when he was in the mirror Space-Time outside the world at that time, he also did experiments, and that Space-Time was also a Space-Time between illusion and reality.

Since the power of faith can break the boundary between illusion and reality and fall directly from the mirror Space-Time to the real world. Then there is no reason why it cannot enter the Double-Leaf Paradise Space from the Dream World, right!

However, the problem now was that although the miracles he had left behind when he returned ten thousand years ago had indeed generated faith power, he had used it all up.

Now, Aisen fully sensed the faith power in the unknown places, but could only feel a trace of dampness rising in a dried-up pool.

This meant that Aisen would have to continue waiting to obtain enough faith power.

Otherwise, he would have to return to the Space-Time of ten thousand years ago, leave miracles again, spread his god name, and open up a new parallel Space-Time to accumulate faith power.

Uh, perhaps one parallel Space-Time was far from enough. Maybe he would have to repeatedly travel through Space-Time, spreading his god name in countless past parallel Space-Times to speed up the accumulation of faith power.

Hmm—, I should make a note of this and return to past parallel Space-Times to spread my god name when I have time.

Roar—

A roar entered Aisen's ears, and he tilted his head, seeing a person and a beast walking from the direction of the school gate.

The beast looked as tall as a person, and at first glance, it seemed like a lion, but upon closer inspection, it also looked a bit like a dog. As it walked, it stared with eyes the size of copper bells, its fangs and claws giving off a great sense of oppression.

Judging by its appearance, it was exactly the Year BeastAisen had seen before at Qingshan Market.

However, what Aisen saw back then was a Year Beastcub, which looked somewhat adorable. But looking at this Year Beast now, he only felt that the other party was ferocious.

Aisen knew the person accompanying the Year Beast; he was He Juncai, the Beast Taming teacher at Zhengyi School. He looked to be in his forties, with several scars on his face, as if scratched by some wild beast, making him look somewhat fierce.

At this moment, he was walking beside the Year Beast, and Aisen didn't see him do anything, but after the Year Beast roared, it obediently walked forward.

Presumably, Teacher He must have used some method.

"Hi, Teacher He, what are you preparing to do?" Aisen got up from the rocking chair, emerged from the bamboo forest, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh, Aisen, you're here. Aren't I preparing for the New Year? See, this is the Year Beast. You should be familiar with our customs here." He Juncai smiled when he saw Aisen emerge from the bamboo forest. "By the way, aren't you planning to go home during this Spring Festivalholiday?"

"No, I plan to stay at school and celebrate the New Year with you!" Aisen laughed.

In fact, a two-week Spring Festival holiday wasn't a big deal for Aisen.

Besides, there was no such thing as a Spring Festivalholiday in England. So even if he went back, he would probably have to spend the holiday alone.

"I have something else to do, I'm leaving now!" He Juncai waved at Aisen.

...

On Sunday evening, Aisen was quietly reading in the dormitory when Harry and others came looking for him and took him to the second-floor hall of the teaching building.

At this moment, the green vines Entanglement on the inner walls of the teaching building had bloomed with red flowers at some point. Red lanterns hung from the ceiling, emitting a hazy light.

A huge round table was also placed in the center of the hall, piled high with stacks of plates and bowls and chopsticks. The bowls and plates were filled with crystal clear, colorful dumplings.

Wisps of fragrance rose from the table, turning into layers of misty vapor that enveloped the entire round table, giving a dreamlike feeling.

When Aisen arrived here, he found that Zou Zunian and others were already seated at the round table. In addition to Zou Zunian and a few other teachers, there were also about a dozen students who hadn't gone home, sitting nearby.

"Is this the Spring Festival dinner? Like the Christmasdinner we have back home for Christmas?" Aisen nodded towards Harry and the others, then walked over and sat down next to Zou Zunian.

"That's right, this is our custom here!" Zou Zunian nodded with a smile, and seeing that everyone had arrived, he said, "Come, come, everyone, let's eat first!"

Looking at the crystal clear, colorful dumplings in front of him, Aisen's appetite was immediately whetted, and he began to eat heartily.

As soon as these beautiful-looking dumplings entered his mouth, Aisen's eyes lit up, and he blurted out a few words: "They're too delicious!"

Yes, perhaps the wrappers and fillings of these dumplings were processed through magic; the pure deliciousness was very intense the moment they entered his mouth.

Moreover, Aisen also found that after eating these dumplings, they could even invigorate his spirit and restore his energy like a Potion.

He turned to look at Harry and the others and found that although they were happy, they seemed a little restrained at such a dinner party.

"Don't you have any performances at your Spring Festivaldinner?" Everyone was eating and drinking heartily, seemingly adhering to the custom of not speaking while eating or sleeping. However, Aisen directly broke the silent atmosphere and asked with a smile.

"Of course there are performances. In previous years, we always watched performances while eating and drinking at the Spring Festival dinner. It's just that you're here this year, so we scheduled the performances after the meal. Since you asked, let's watch while eating!" Zou Zuniansaid, reaching out and clapping his hands forcefully.

Immediately, a three-dimensional projection appeared in the middle of the round table.

Following that, singing came from the mouths of the projected figures, echoing throughout the entire hall.

Seeing this scene, Aisen was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything, lowering his head and eating heartily again. However, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart that the performance here was watching the Spring Festival Gala.

This really is—

However, when Aisen glanced to the side, he found that Harry and the others were actually watching with great interest.

Time slowly passed, and the food on the table gradually decreased.

"This song is good!"

"It's very pleasant to listen to!"

Several students were eating and chatting at the same time.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Zou Zunianstood up directly.

Seeing Zou Zunian's action, the other teachers and students nearby all quieted down. It was clear they seemed to be waiting for Zou Zunian's next arrangements.

"Alright, the banquet has come to an end..." Zou Zuniansaid.

Is that it? The Spring Festival banquet is just eating a meal here and watching a Spring Festival Gala? Aisenwas puzzled, but then he suddenly understood.

That's right, the Spring Festival here is actually a festival for family reunions, and it won't have all sorts of strange things happening like the Hogwarts Christmas banquet.

This kind of plainness, mixed with a warm and festive atmosphere, is precisely the characteristic of this festival!

"Let's go, let's proceed to the final step!" Zou Zunian said, leading the way and turning to leave.

The final step? Where are we going? Aisen and everyone else followed suit.

A few minutes later, everyone walked through the student dormitory building to the school's back gate and saw two huge red lanterns hanging outside the gate. However, the red lanterns had not yet been lit, so their color was actually not clear.

In addition, several long strings of—firecrackers!—were also hanging outside.

"Alright, the time is almost here, Teacher He, get ready!" Zou Zunian silently calculated the time, then said to He Juncai beside him.

At a certain moment, Zou Zunian waved his hand forcefully, and saw He Juncai wave his hand to draw a bright, shining talisman that flew directly outside the school.

Then a beast's roar came, and everyone saw a beast like a lion or a dog roaring and running from outside the school, as if it was going to break through the school gate and attack them.

This is quite fun! Looking at this scene, Aisen thought of the Year Beast that He Juncai had brought into the school earlier.

"Professor, is that the unique magical creature, the Year Beast, from here?" Harry came up to Aisen and asked in a low voice.

"That's right!" As soon as Aisen finished speaking, he saw Zou Zunian make a new move next.

He saw him wave his hand and snap his fingers, and the two lanterns hanging outside the school gate burst into flames with a bang, lighting up directly. The light passing through the lanterns emitted bursts of red light.

Immediately after, the hanging firecrackers were also lit, making crackling sounds.

Once the action here was completed, the Year Beast that had been rushing over seemed to have been startled by something, immediately shrank back, stopped abruptly, and then let out a howl and directly fled—ran away!

Crackle, crackle, the firecrackers went off for two minutes before stopping.

"Alright, that's all for today. Hurry back to sleep!" Zou Zunian clapped his hands, announcing that the final part of the dinner was also over.
