Chapter 375: The Overlord System, Overbearing Overlord, My Daughter Has Grow Up
Third-rate scholars publish papers, second-rate scholars run academic cliques, first-rate scholars set standards, and only top scholars can change the world.
[The same writing system, the same standard for books. Only unification can bring prosperity, only unification can break through the upper limit.]
[Mission Requirements: Establish Magic Guilds in every corner of the world, gradually expand their influence, surpass the Ministry of Magic, and become the largest force in each region.]
[Mission Rewards: 20% mission progress, 1,000 achievement points, one legendary prize draw opportunity, 50% mission progress, one Immortal Legendary Private Tutor prize draw ticket, 100% mission progress, one mysterious prize, one system upgrade opportunity.]
Tom read the task and related instructions word by word several times, feeling excited but also troubled.
The mission rewards were unprecedentedly generous: a legendary lottery and an immortal legendary teacher. These two alone were enough to excite him, but Tom was also well aware of the nature of the system: the rewards always matched the difficulty.
He currently has three major tasks on hand.
One is "My Words Are Truth", which is also the promotion task of the Wizarding History.
It has already reached 80% progress and will be completed in a while.
The reward is also the least, only 1,000 "June 1" achievement points and a chance to draw a legendary lottery.
The second one is the "Creator of the New World". He needs to upgrade and promote "I Chat" to change the lifestyle of the wizarding world. However, the promotion progress is very fast and there is no upgrade at all, so the completion rate of the task is less than 30%.
Finally, there was this new mission. Tom had already discovered a pattern: it was called a "learning master" system, but the focus didn't seem to be on learning, but on "mastering".
The system's style of action is very overbearing. It used to transform the world, but now it simply stops acting and lets it control the world.
And learning only allows him to gain the ability and strength to control the world.
So this is how the top student explained it?
But while Tom was speechless, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
He is so awesome, why should he be pointed at by a group of weaklings standing in a high position? The task issued by the system is exactly what he wants.
He just had to change his plan. Originally, he had no intention of directly seizing power from the Ministry of Magic when he set up the Wizards Guild. He just wanted to make it easier for himself to complete other tasks.
But now... How can a real man be depressed and inferior to others for long?
With great ambition in his heart and a very healthy body, Tom went to bed after taking a bath after a day of hard work outside. Thinking of the fun things Grindelwald had mentioned during the day, he entered the study space first and called Grindelwald in.
"What fun did you say you had today?"
Grindelwald added Dumbledore as a friend today, and the two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they had forgotten about Robert. "Pem just remembered it.
"That Robert Graves has come to me for help. He has only one request: that I kill you to avenge myself."
"Huh?" Andros had a big question mark on his forehead: "Isn't he walking into a trap?"
"Teacher, he doesn't know the relationship between Grindelwald and Tom." Ariana said, but after she finished speaking, she laughed again.
When I think about it, I feel that Robert is actually a bit pitiful.
There are only two and a half people in this world who have the hope of avenging Robert. Dumbledore is Tom's headmaster and is directly ruled out. Then Robert can only go to Grindelwald or half of Voldemort.
But putting aside the question of whether Voldemort was that easy to find, there were simply not many people in the wizarding world who knew or believed that he was still alive.
What else can you do if you don't fall into the trap?
Tom was very disappointed. He thought Grindelwald could bring some fun, but this is the result?
"Next time, don't make such a fuss. What's the point of using a minion I don't even care about? If you want to use him, use him. If you don't want to use him, just tell me all the plans North America has. That'll be enough.
Grindelwald shook his head seriously. "I plan to use him first and use him to expose the negative information about the International Federation of Witches, to undermine the prestige of the Witch Federation, and also to facilitate the development of your Wizard Guild."
Ariana quickly replied, "Then, after he's outgrown his usefulness, have Tom step in and completely break down his psychological defenses. Oh, and doesn't he have a grudge against that Wilkinson? Let him work for Wilkinson first."
Grindelwald nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Ariana, your thinking is becoming more mature.
Although he has no daughter, but watching Ariana grow up day by day, he also has a sense of accomplishment that his own daughter has grown up.
Andros is a bit complicated. Apart from him...there is really no good person here.
I hope Tom's next teacher will be a decent person, otherwise the world will be ruined by them sooner or later.
Tom smiled and rubbed Ariana's little head as a compliment, encouraging her to keep it up. Then he left the space and got into bed to sleep.
He had originally wanted to go to Ravenclaw to discuss the details of the Wizarding Guild, but today he really didn't want to use his brain. Every time he chatted with Ravenclaw, it was a test of his IQ and brainpower. Otherwise, he would become the "idiot, pighead" in the eyes of this woman.
Especially recently, Ravenclaw has been studying the Horcrux Crown and has become much more irritable, just like menopause. It's better to stay away from her for now.
The next day, news of the peace talks between the wizarding world and Grindelwald appeared on the front pages of major newspapers. These reporters were faster than hummingbirds and golden snitches. They got most of the details in one night and quickly released them after sorting them out.
"We have brought a generation of peace" - the headline of the Daily Prophet made Tom almost spit out the milk in his mouth, and the little wizard who was born in Muggle like Hermione had a confused expression on her face.
Do the wizarding world really not understand Muggle history? How dare they write such a flag-like title?
Zabini read from the newspaper:
"Grindelwald and Dumbledore signed treaties with the Ministries of Magic of many countries.
The ancient magical blood alliance will restrain the two powerful wizards and not arbitrarily attack the weak.
The Ministries of Magic of many countries and the International Federation of Witches recognize Grindelwald's dominance in Austria, Poland, Bulgaria and other regions...
The two sides will engage in equal and active exchanges.
It is foreseeable that within the next ten years,
The wizarding world will continue to prosper and be at peace."
"The witness of the century's reconciliation—Tom Riddle. Riddle, only thirteen years old, became a witness to the unbreakable oath and blood alliance!"
Zabini couldn't continue reading. Shocked, he and the other students looked at the boy who was wiping Daphne's mouth as if nothing had happened.
"Tom...Tom, you yesterday..." Zabini stuttered.
They were used to not seeing Tom all day yesterday. [But he did such a big thing quietly.
After retracting the handkerchief, Tom nodded to the dazed Zabini. "I went to negotiate with the principal yesterday and served as a witness. There's nothing to be surprised about."
"This is the Dark Lord." Malfoy felt goosebumps all over his body. Now the title of the Dark Lord has gradually shifted from a mysterious man whose name cannot be mentioned to Grindelwald.
Malfoy lowered his voice and asked, "Tom, what did you think of meeting Grindelwald in person? Was he just like any other city dweller?"
Tom thought for a moment and said, "She'll have more presence. Even if her behavior seems casual, she'll be elegant and have her own charisma."
The last point is very important. Among the negotiating representatives yesterday, several were impressed by Grindelwald's concern for the wizarding world and began to contact him secretly.
The nearby young wizards were all silent, listening to Tom's comments on Grindelwald, and then asked more questions. But Tom was too lazy to say anything more, and said perfunctorily:
"No matter how many questions you ask, nothing compares to experiencing it firsthand. Durmstrang is also preparing to participate in the dueling tournament, and Grindelwald will lead the team personally."
Wow!
This caused a complete uproar, and the news spread like wildfire. Soon, all the teachers and students in the school knew that Grindelwald was about to visit Hogwarts.
The last time he visited, Dumbledore rudely turned him away, but this time he could be invited in openly.
"Albus, are you crazy? Why did you agree to Grindelwald's outrageous request?"
Professor McGonagall angrily found Dumbledore and asked, "Even if he can't take action against the students, he can sow discord among them with just a few words."
"Minerva, this is the general trend." Dumbledore's voice was filled with unconcealed fatigue. He had talked with Grindelwald very late last night. 5.0 "Coexistence with Grindelwald in the future is inevitable. We cannot completely isolate the spread of his ideas."
"The more we forbid it, the more curious the students will be. Instead of trying to find out secretly, it's better to directly invite the real Grindelwald over and confront him with his moves, so that they can understand that Grindelwald is just an ordinary wizard and his ideals are unrealistic.
"Ordinary wizards..." Professor McGonagall was speechless by Dumbledore's evaluation of Grindelwald. She wanted to persuade Dumbledore to change his mind, but seeing his haggard face, she couldn't bear to speak anymore.
Professor McGonagall thought Dumbledore was racking his brains over how to deal with Grindelwald, and sighed silently.
"Albus, just be aware of this. You must not let down your guard just because of temporary peace."
"I will Minerva."
Professor McGonagall left the office and looked through the blinds in the corridor at the students who were leisurely enjoying their vacation on the meadow. He silently made up his mind that he must not let Grindelwald disturb this peace.
Meanwhile, Tom left school again and returned to Newt's home in Dorset, bringing him a gift.
Chapter 376 Planting the Golden Apple Tree, New Teacher
The gift Tom brought was a German newspaper - Die Welt.
Taking into consideration that Uncle Newt was not very proficient in German and his eyesight was not good due to his age, he kindly read the contents of the newspaper aloud:
"Grindelwald stated that seventy years ago, he and Dumbledore had formed a blood pact that determined the future of the wizarding world. However, the despicable Newt Scamander shamelessly stole their blood pact in Paris and used sinister means to break it."
"All subsequent conflicts and wars in the wizarding world stemmed from this reckless and disrespectful action. Scamander should be held responsible for this. Mr. Grindelwald said that he found it hard to believe that such a shameless person would appear in the simple and kind Hufflepuff Academy.
"This time, the Blood Token is still in the hands of Mr. Grindelwald. He hopes to send a message to Mr. Scamander through the newspapers. He is at Durmstrang, waiting for him to steal the Blood Token again."
Tom laughed out loud as he read, just like his old, frivolous teacher.
Newt's face flushed red, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
"Damn dark wizard leader, what nonsense is he talking about!"
"If Newt hadn't stolen the blood pact, Dumbledore would probably still be in Hogwarts. How dare he say it was for world peace?"
"It's understandable, actually." Tom waved his hand. "It was Uncle Newt who stole their marriage certificate. It's all normal.
Marriage certificate?
Everyone present knew the complicated relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. When they heard Tom's wonderful and apt metaphor, they were stunned at first, and then they all laughed out loud at the same time.
"Marriage certificate...it really is, yes, a marriage certificate."
Tina's anger also dissipated a lot. If she put herself in his shoes, if someone stole the token of love between her and Newt, she would definitely hold a grudge more than Grindelwald.
What was her...her and Newt's token of love?
I laughed so hard that I couldn't laugh anymore.
Because she thought about it carefully and found that from the time they met until now, Newt had never given her any decent gifts. The only thing worth remembering was the words "Your eyes are as beautiful as a salamander", which was later surpassed by Grindelwald's sapphire eyes.
Tina looked unkindly at Newt, who was still smiling shyly.
Danger!
Newt was startled by the sense of crisis he had accumulated over the years. He turned his head and met Tina's unfriendly gaze.
Although he didn't know how he had angered Tina again, Newt's survival instinct told him that he had to change the subject quickly.
"Tom, you came back today for p**sy Lake, didn't you?"
"That's not it." Tom shook his head. "I just came here to read the newspaper to you."
Newt:
This bear kid!
"Don't waste time. Now that you're here, get your business done first."
Newt stood up and went back to the house to get his suitcase. "Let's put Lake of the Inferi into the small world first. I need time to perfect the ecosystem, but I also need to prepare the magical servants. I can't keep putting it off, can I?"
"Those are the golden apples that your Aunt Tina and Madame Perenelle are waiting for to be restored to youth."
Newt was smart for once and knew to bring up Tina and Perenelle.
A woman may not care about her life span, but she will never care about her appearance.
After learning about the effects of the golden apple, Tina and Perenelle set their sights on its effect of maintaining eternal youth. They urged Nico and Newt to work every day, quickly preparing the plantation so that the seeds could take root and sprout as soon as possible.
Now was no exception. Tina had indeed forgotten her anger and urged Tom not to delay any further.
Tom rubbed his stomach helplessly. "I haven't even had lunch yet, and you're asking me to work?"
Then, a man who had just finished lunch was kicked out.
Arriving at the familiar cliff, entering the cave was already a piece of cake this time. Newt took out the fresh dragon blood that he had prepared long ago to open the passage, and the three of them came to the edge of the Lake of the Corpse.
Although almost all the corpses have been taken away and the magic circle that gathers magic power has been broken, the nature of the corpse lake has been fixed over the years and has not changed at all since the last time they came.
"Uncle Newt, how are you going to take the lake away?" Tom looked at Newt, who had a calm face, and asked curiously.
One of the basic laws of spells is that the more powerful the magic item, the harder it is to be affected by a spell.
For example, in Hogwarts Castle, even for Tom now, the magic he casts cannot affect the entire castle. It can only be effective in a local area, and the duration is much shorter than normal.
Today's Lake of the Yin Corpse can actually be regarded as a powerful magical item. It is not easy to control the water flow using magic such as levitation spell and water labor.
Newt smiled slightly and said nothing, but directly demonstrated his method.
He took out two boxes, dug up the ground around them, put the two boxes back to back, and then buried them in the ground. The box facing the lake suddenly grew dozens of times larger and emerged directly from the pit.
"Tom, just create a slope and a channel and let the lake water flow in through the channel."
Tom began to transform the terrain according to Newt's idea.
Because the internal interface was stable, the entrance to the plantation world could not be expanded at will, but Newt specially created a conversion space and opened up multiple entrances in the plantation world.
After diversion, the water converged in the prepared lake pit.
After understanding the principle, Tom nodded repeatedly.
The older generation still has something. Just the method of opening multiple space entrances at one coordinate point is worth learning.
So Tom decisively started asking questions, and Newt naturally didn't hide anything.
Having been dealing with the portable world all his life, his attainments in the field of traceless extension spells and space conversion were definitely the best in the world, far surpassing Grindelwald and Dumbledore.
This is what is called specialization.
When the lake water was almost drained, Tom felt that he had made a lot of progress.
The Lake of the Infernal Corpse dried up, revealing the white bones under the riverbed, and even two huge skeletons. Newt recognized them at a glance. They were dragon bones, or the largest iron belly among fire dragons.
"It should be a sacrifice to provide the initial energy for constructing the magic circle." Nico analyzed it for a moment and figured out the reason.
"Who cares? It's a waste to just leave these bones here. Take them back and use them as fertilizer."
Tom took immediate action and put the skeleton away.
Nico looked at the empty riverbed and couldn't help but say, "If we drain Lake Inferi now, and Voldemort ever returns and sees this, wouldn't all the tricks you put on the locket be wasted?"
"No." Tom shook his head, "Voldemort is both very self-deprecating and very conceited.
"When he saw his Horcrux being tampered with, he would definitely want to find out who did it and wouldn't miss any clues, so he would definitely investigate the fake locket.
"Even if he knew there was a trap, he wouldn't care. Do you think he would be afraid of danger if he created multiple Horcruxes?"
Seeing Tom's confidence, Nick said nothing more.
After fleecing Voldemort of his last wool, the three returned to the manor.
Although other arrangements have not been completed, the existence of the Lake of the Yin Corpse provides soil for planting the golden apple tree.
Tom buried the seeds in the soil by the lake, and changes occurred immediately.
The originally calm lake water began to ripple slightly, and a breeze blew in the space out of thin air.
The seeds quickly took root, and the weak roots firmly dug into the earth, absorbing the energy of the Yinshi Lake through the cracks in the earth veins.
Tom used his magic vision to observe the absorption speed and was amazed.
This is Juicer...
"Teacher, Uncle Newt, you guys have to hurry up. This little guy is absorbing water really fast. When it grows bigger, I think the lake will be completely drained."
At first, the two had no idea what Tom meant by "not slow", but they were shocked when they came to see it the next day.
New sprouts have sprouted from the place where the seeds were buried yesterday. The Yinshi Lake has never been calm, and waves are constantly surging.
Now the two old men did not dare to delay and set off immediately. One went to Black State to restart the triangular trade, and the other went to the northern bear to collect the dark creatures in the plan.
Tom clapped his hands and returned to school to start a new week of classes.
The whole school was still discussing the peace treaty that had just been signed and the fact that Tom was a witness. Many students were very curious about the specific process. Some wanted to gossip with Tom, but were blocked by the Slytherin students.
Aren't the Slytherin students themselves curious?
Of course they were curious, but Tom didn't want to talk about it, so who would dare to force him?
Compared to students from other colleges, the Slytherin snakes are the ones who understand Tom's cold side the most, because they understand that the strong are respected in society, and they have also received warnings from their families.
For a long time, no one dared to make trouble in front of Tom.
At the Monday dinner, Dumbledore awarded Tom a special contribution award for his great contribution to "peace in the wizarding world" and added 200 points to Slytherin.
Taking into account the bonus points for various reasons before, the 500 points agreed upon had been received in just one week, and the score column was almost at the top.
Tom was delighted that he had finally accumulated all his achievement points. After spending some time with Qiu in the evening, he finally realized he had entered the study space and was ready to summon a new teacher.
Chapter 377: Ravenclaw's Tragic Experience, The New Teacher Is...
Tom is finally going to find a new teacher.
Naturally, he had to inform the members in the study space of such an important matter. Soon, Andros and Ariana ran out first, followed by Grindelwald who was communicating with Dumbledore through "I Chat".
When he heard that there would be a new colleague, he didn't even care about his old friends. He replied, "I'm going to take a shower" and went straight into the study space.
Finally, there is Ravenclaw, who has not appeared for a long time.
However, when Ravenclaw appeared, everyone was shocked by her condition.
"Sister Rowena, what's wrong with you?"
Ravenclaw usually dresses appropriately and has a versatile style. Her every move is full of charm. She is a charming and mature woman.
But now... there are several burnt marks on the sky blue wizard robe, and there are thick oil stains in some places. The soft hair is a mess, and she looks like a beautiful crazy woman.
"What's wrong?" Ravenclaw murmured again. Ariana and the other two stared at her curiously, waiting for Ravenclaw's explanation.
No one noticed that a guilty boy silently took two steps back.
But it's such a big place, with only a few of them, how could Ravenclaw not notice?
He immediately walked over angrily and pinched Tom's ear, "Little b*****d, where do you want to hide?"
"Rowena, don't get excited." Tom smiled awkwardly. "I didn't push you. It's you who's taking it too seriously that's what got you into this situation."
"You didn't rush me, but what's the matter with you throwing fifty or sixty questions at me every day?"
Ravenclaw's voice was filled with grief and indignation. If the other three founders knew about this, they would definitely be shocked.
Ravenclaw, the always smiling yet unfathomable wise witch who even the old scoundrels like Slytherin wouldn't want to mess with, could also experience such moments of frustration?
The others were also extremely curious, but fortunately Ravenclaw didn't keep them in suspense and angrily told them all about his recent experiences.
Soul experiments on Horcruxes, research and development and cracking of blood curses, and updates on communication magic runes.
These three projects are Tom's most important research topics at present.
He has also assigned three thought incarnations to be responsible for them.
After collecting the memories of the thought incarnations every day, Tom can burst out with countless inspirations and talents by relying on his talent for thinking.
Then he wrote down all these questions. Some of them he could solve by himself in the extraordinary mode, but even if they were solved, he would send a copy to Ravenclaw, wanting to hear her thoughts and insights.
One or two days would be fine, but if dozens or even hundreds of questions came every day, including advanced questions about the soul and the nature of magic, even a Ravenclaw would go crazy.
As for why Ravenclaw hadn't shown up in public during this period and her temper had become increasingly violent, it could only be said that Tom was responsible for 99% of the damage, and the remaining 1% was due to the space itself, which had pulled Ravenclaw in.
After hearing Ravenclaw's story, Grindelwald, Andros, and Ariana stared at the shyly smiling boy in amazement, and the same thought popped up in their minds -
It's really not a thing.
Even if you don't feel tired in this space, you can always stay energetic and your mind is at its peak. You can't use it to death, right?
Andros suddenly felt fortunate that he was not as intelligent as Ravenclaw, otherwise he would have been the first to be used to death.
"Well... time waits for no one." Tom barely made up an excuse under the gazes of the crowd, "Rowena, you know, I just really want to make progress. I really don't have any bad intentions."
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject: "Besides, I'm already thinking of a solution. I'm going to summon a new teacher soon. Maybe I can help you share a lot of pressure."
Hearing about the new teacher, the anger on Ravenclaw's face eased a little. He let go of the boy's ear and gently rubbed it.
"Then why are you still hesitating? Summon him now."
She had long been curious about the summoning ritual and had been waiting to observe the entire ceremony from a bystander's perspective, "to see if she could analyze any useful information."
Tom curled his lips. This woman changes her expression so quickly.
Glancing at Ravenclaw's approval rating of 49 on the system interface, Tom strongly suspected that this woman was a love interest. Otherwise, how could her approval rating have risen by several points after all he had been doing to her recently?
"Wait a minute." Andros interrupted the boy who was about to summon him.
"What's wrong?"
"Greg, what do you say?" Andros raised his chin towards Grindelwald. "I guess it's a man this time."
"I want to guess it's a boy, too."
"That won't work." Andros shook his head like a rattle. "I said it first. You can't snatch it from me."
Grindelwald shrugged. "Then there's no need to gamble."
Tom's face was filled with black lines, but he finally understood. "You don't need to bet with your new colleague?"
"Isn't this boring?" Andros smiled innocently. "It's just a casual play. The stakes are just one of our specialty spells."
Ariana was unhappy. "Then why are you all guessing men? Do you look down on us women?"
Tom couldn't help but glance at the little girl.
My goodness, are you going to have a fight? Besides, you little girl, how can you be considered a woman? You haven't even grown all your hair yet.
If Ravenclaw had said this, it would have been more accurate.
Ravenclaw didn't get angry, and said thoughtfully: "If it were me, I would also guess that the new teacher would be a wizard.
"Why?" Ariana asked in confusion.
Facing the lovely Ariana, Ravenclaw patiently explained, "Tom said long ago that he would summon the King of the Century this time, a wizard on the level of Grindelwald and Andros. Throughout history, we have to admit that female wizards have indeed been in a disadvantaged position."
"Witches at the King of the Century level? As far as I know, there are very few of them. On the contrary, there are those at a higher level, such as Helga and Maeve."
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of hidden masters."
Wizards are the epitome of mystery, and most of them pay great attention to hiding their secrets.
There are very few dark wizards as flamboyant as Grindelwald and Voldemort.
If these two people did not exist, people would only know that Dumbledore is excellent, but would not understand how big the gap is between them.
So there must have been century kings in history who never showed their full strength, but even so, Ravenclaw felt that there were more wizards than witches. This was a fact determined by one's nature.
Tom was no longer anxious and asked with interest, "What should we do now? You all want to guess the wizard, but we can't open the odds."
Grindelwald and Andros exchanged a glance, then came up with a solution:
Based on the year, Andros won before 1900 AD, and Grindelwald won after 1900 AD, that is, after Hogwarts was founded.
Judging from the time span alone, Andros had the advantage, so Grindelwald made another request - it must be a king of the century recorded in history. If not, then Andros would lose.
The further back in time we go, the more vague the historical records become, and this screening process eliminates many people.
Andros readily agreed. This was a fairly evenly matched bet. Ravenclaw came to join in the fun, but she still held back on the fact that the new teacher was a witch. [The bet was not an unreasonable request.
"Tom, don't you want to play?" Grindelwald suddenly looked at the boy.
Tom shook his head. "You'll be colleagues in the future, so it's normal for you to joke around. As a student, I'd better forget it."
Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but smile.
This was one of the reasons why they all liked Tom. With the strong restraints of the learning space, their life and death depended entirely on the boy's thoughts, but he still maintained his respect, and it was not a deliberate pretense, but came from the heart.
Who wouldn't like a child who can joke around normally but maintains a sense of boundaries in sensitive areas?
Now that everything has been decided, let's get started!
Tom held it up with both hands, and golden light filled the sky!
The learning space shook once again. The white fog in the remote areas had completely disappeared when Ravenclaw appeared last time, but it expanded a certain distance into nothingness.
Andros and Grindelwald didn't pay attention to the location where the golden light converged, but looked at Ravenclaw.
In order to uncover the secret of space, this immortal legend finally used all his abilities.
Ariana, who had been standing beside her, had been forced back behind Andros by Ariana. At this moment, Ravenclaw's messy image was no longer there. Her long blue hair fluttered in the wind, and each strand was clearly visible, each strand sparkling with crystal clear light.
Ariana's eyes twinkled with stars, and she felt that Ravenclaw was so beautiful at that moment, like a goddess descended from another world.
Andros and Grindelwald both understood that Ravenclaw was using a mysterious magic, and those fluttering crystal hair must have a purpose that they could not see through.
The golden light gathered and took shape in a short moment, and a small figure appeared on the distant horizon.
After a brief stop, he walked towards where Tom was.
Soon, everyone saw the new teacher's appearance clearly. Ariana's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, and the others also looked surprised.
She actually was a witch, and a young one at that. She looked a little older than Ariana at most, but definitely not an adult.
The witch has delicate features, but her face is covered in dirt. She has a waist-length golden braid (from Li) hanging behind her. She is not only wearing prison clothes, but also has heavy shackles on her hands and feet.
There was a clattering sound with every step.
Tom was silent.
He found that except for Andros' appearance, which was normal, why did the other teachers have all kinds of inexplicable situations?
Ravenclaw is a good soul, Grindelwald is a prisoner, and Ariana is a minor.
Now, there's a juvenile prisoner?!
Tom took a deep breath, his vision going dark. Could he still find a normal teacher?
Finally, the witch walked up to Tom, digested the news from the space, and greeted him timidly.
"Dieu vous garde (May God bless you.)"
Tom: "..."
The others also fell silent.
We are wizards, you say may God bless us???
"You...you too, can you tell me your name?"
Tom asked softly with a tired look on his face. If Dumbledore were here, he would definitely notice that Tom's tone was very similar to his.
"You're welcome." The girl bowed quickly and introduced herself in French with a strong accent:
"I am Jeanne d'Arc."
Including Ravenclaw, the three teachers all looked bewildered. What a name... such a freaking country girl. Is she really the Lord of the Century?
"Jeanne...wait!"
Tom nodded subconsciously, then realized something and cursed: "f**k, Joan of Arc?!"
Chapter 378: The Strength of the Orleans Village Girl!
"Joan of Arc?"
Hearing Tom's name, the girl became even more confused, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"It's not that I recognized the wrong person." Tom's expression was complicated. "I just pronounced your name in English and simplified your surname a little bit. It became Joan of Arc. Actually, it's still your original name, Jeanne d'Arc."
"Is that so..."
Joan of Arc nodded in a daze, looking like she understood, but in fact... she knew that Joan of Arc was calling her, and she didn't understand the pronunciation of the following words, simplified, completely.
There's no way, she's illiterate.
"Joan of Arc?!" Ariana also reacted.
If Jeanne d'Arc didn't know, how could Joan of Arc not know?
Her fame in England and France was so great that many of the books Ariana read mentioned Joan of Arc, with mixed reviews.
But the books that are usually criticized are those written by the British.
The Maid of Orleans, a village girl, almost changed the outcome of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, so it is understandable that the British were defeated.
In terms of religion, Joan of Arc was constantly deified and was finally canonized as a saint by Pope Benedict XV in 1920, which is the origin of Joan of Arc, and her image and status were completely consolidated.
Apart from Ravenclaw, she had been digesting and absorbing the modern magic system since she was summoned, and was used like a slave by Tom, so she had no time and energy to read miscellaneous books. They both had heard of Joan of Arc's story.
Grindelwald pinched his chin, looked at the nervous girl, and suddenly smiled.
"The Holy Lady of the Pope is actually a witch? And a witch of the King of the Century level?"
"I'm 700, I'm not a witch!"
When the village girl heard Grindelwald actually call her a witch and the king of the century, she no longer cared about being nervous and her pigtails began to shake rapidly with her head.
"I am the most devout believer in the Lord. It is the revelation from the Lord that has given me the power to act on behalf of others. It is not witchcraft, it is not sorcery."
Ariana retorted, "Anyone who can appear here is a wizard, and a very powerful one at that. Did you also receive that information just now?"
Now, Joan of Arc was speechless.
The information about her situation also pointed out that she was a witch... It was like a revelation from God, no, even more majestic. There was no room for refusal. She completely took it as the Lord's arrangement...
Is she really a witch?
Joan of Arc lived in the 13th century, which was also the most intense period of the struggle between witches and the Church.
One of the most important reasons for her execution was that her so-called "divine revelation" was defined by the court as the whisper of the devil, and thus she was defined as a witch.
Even though she was burned to death in the end, Joan of Arc didn't care, because she knew she was wronged and she was not a witch.
Now it is 'God' who is telling her that you are a witch.
You can imagine how big a blow it was to her.
Thinking of this, the girl's ponytail became listless, her mouth pursed, and a flame flashed in her eyes. It was so fast that not even Grindelwald and Andros noticed it, except for Ravenclaw and Tom.
"Jeanne, whether you are a witch or not is still debatable. We are just speculating. Don't worry."
Tom saved the village girl who was almost broken down with just one word.
"Whether you are a witch or not, (bgfj) you must have very powerful supernatural powers, that's beyond doubt, right?"
Joan of Arc's situation is different from Ariana's. At that time, Ariana drew the "teacher" from the lottery ticket of the generation of outstanding people. With the silent burst, she must have the strength of this level.
But pure talent is terrifying, so it is purple with gold.
But Jeanne was Tom's real money, having spent a thousand achievement points on her. Regardless of her strength and potential, she must be the King of the Century. Otherwise, the system is a scam...
So Tom wanted to see what Joan of Arc's strengths were and how strong she was.
This time, Joan of Arc did not hesitate. She placed her hands on her chest in a prayer gesture and said devoutly: "The Lord has given me some power to save France. Thank you for the gift of the Lord.
The girl radiated a holy light all over her body, and no one would be surprised even if two wings grew behind her the next second.
"Then is it convenient to demonstrate? You also know that your mission here is to teach me what you are good at.
Joan of Arc nodded. She regarded the information coming from her mind as divine revelation and naturally would not go against Tom's words.
"Let me be her opponent." Grindelwald took the initiative to step forward.
He remembered that Joan of Arc was only sixteen or seventeen when she died. Was she the underage King of the Century, or was she from the Vatican?
Now I have to be happy to see the prey.
Joan of Arc looked at Tom and saw him nod slightly, so she bowed slightly to Grindelwald and said, "Sir, I will be careful not to hurt you."
The playful smile on Grindelwald's face froze.
Tom and his companions held back their laughter and stepped back, leaving the two men with ample space to maneuver.
Grindelwald snorted coldly and took the initiative after just a greeting. He was also angry, otherwise he would definitely let Joan of Arc take the first step.
At the same time that Grindelwald cast the spell, or even earlier, Joan of Arc moved, and dodged the spell by a hair's breadth.
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, and then cast several spells, the power of which became stronger and stronger, but they were all spells that flew very fast.
There was no change this time, and he dodged with the simplest movements.
"So, can you still hide?"
Grindelwald seemed to understand what ability she used. He pointed his wand to the sky, and the most iconic Fiendfyre was summoned. Pan Hai smashed down at Joan of Arc.
This time Joan of Arc finally did not dodge. She prayed softly, and a set of energy armor emitting holy light appeared on her body, and the girl's temperament also changed dramatically.
From a simple village girl who could cheat seven times with a bowl of spicy hot pot, she became a heroic general.
The battle was still led by Grindelwald. Joan of Arc was at an absolute disadvantage on the surface, but in reality they were evenly matched.
Grindelwald could not break through Joan of Arc's defense no matter what means he used. However, Joan of Arc seemed to lack the means of attack and could only crudely use powerful energy to cause explosions. Although the power was not weak, she could avoid it by simply Apparating once.
Of course, this is also true for the King of the Century.
If it were Snape, the spatial fluctuations caused by the explosion alone would have made it impossible for him to Apparate, and he would have had no choice but to withstand it.
If he could withstand it once, it would have been a sign of his powerful magic.
If it happened a few more times, he would have been killed for sure.
But Tom was not satisfied with Joan of Arc's performance.
That's it?
"Jean, Jeanne!"
The voice pierced the storm and reached the girl's ears. "Holding back now would be impolite and disrespectful to Grindelwald. Attack with all your might. Do you understand?"
Joan of Arc's pretty face turned pale and she took a deep breath.
He formed a flag in his hand and stuck it hard into the ground.
"Fire of Judgment!"
The earth trembled, and several pillars of fire with a diameter of more than ten meters gushed out from the ground at the same time. The fierce fire birds were defeated one after another after coming into contact with the flames.
"So powerful..." Andros, who had been yawning, finally perked up and commented eagerly, "Grindelwald's flames have been completely suppressed. This flame... is actually the fire of spirit and will?"
"What do you mean? Do you think she's a wizard?" Tom looked at Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw asked, "If she's not a wizard, then what is she?"
"Surging magical power, abundant emotions, and a resolute will—her willpower is among the best I've ever seen among spellcasters... Truly rare."
"But the nature of this power..." Tom was still a little hesitant.
"You know that the nature of magic changes according to the wizard's personality and character."
Ravenclaw thought for a moment and explained, "You can think of this girl as a complete opposite of Tom Riddle.
She has been a devout Catholic since birth.
Over the years, her magic will naturally develop in the direction of her desires."
"That makes sense." Tom nodded, then said with some envy, "Isn't it easy for such a stubborn person to succeed? Andros only thinks about fighting, Voldemort is a pure villain, and now here comes this fooled village girl...
"Sixteen-year-old King of the Century? Damn... I can't even say I could achieve such an accomplishment at sixteen."
Tom was a little depressed. After all, the cheats he used were becoming more and more numerous and bigger and bigger. The King of the Century was no longer a mirage. Maybe he would become it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
But Ariana was different. Whether it was Andros and Grindelwald, or Tom and Ravenclaw, they all praised her for her powerful talent.
But compared to Joan of Arc, she is just a piece of trash...
The Momo in her body was afraid. The magic power filled with the breath of light was no different from Xiang to Momo.
boom---!
Battle flags were waving, flaming blades flew out, and Grindelwald's continuous dodging finally revealed a flaw.
All his escape routes were blocked, and he had no choice but to pull up the earth as a shield to resist.
As a result, pillars of fire emerged from the ground again, and the shield formed by magic was a beat slower, causing most of his robes to be burned.
Tom had seen enough and directly used his spatial authority to separate the two.
"That's enough, Jeanne. You performed very well."
The praised village girl smiled a pure smile that was not tainted by knowledge.
"Can you tell me about your experience back then?"
Tom asked curiously. There are many versions of the legend of Joan of Arc, and the differences are quite significant. Especially the fact that such a powerful King of the Century would be put on trial by the Vatican. "Could it be that the Vatican at that time had even stronger masters?"
Joan of Arc is not just a vase, especially her talent, her experience will also be appropriately modified. Many of Rowling's character settings are actually mythical or legendary figures.
So it's also quite reasonable for Joan of Arc to be a wizard, right? (dog head).
Chapter 379: The Fastest Recognition of Full Level in History
No matter which country or period, history is like a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone, and you can use whatever XP you have on it.
There is only one premise - you are the winner.
There are so many legends about Joan of Arc that even historians are arguing about whether she existed. It is most appropriate for her to tell her story in person.
Although Joan of Arc is a country girl, her speaking ability is definitely at the historical level, not inferior to that German mustache man. She easily made Tom and others get into the conversation, as if they were back in that barbaric war era.
Joan of Arc was born in a small village called Domremy. When she was thirteen, she had a dream. Of course, this was Tom's understanding, but according to Joan of Arc herself, it was a revelation from the Lord.
She met the Archangel Michael, also known as Michael, and the Virgin Mary, who brought her the Lord's revelation, allowing her to lead French soldiers against the invading British.
So Joan of Arc left the small village, left the Lorraine region, and came to the Orleans region where her life was changed. Now, she is called the Maid of Orleans.
In just over a decade of her life, Joan of Arc had no systematic learning of magic, and she had developed some abilities entirely through her devotion to the Lord.
Most of them are abilities that boost morale and heal soldiers. As for the fire attack, it is also a rare direct attack ability gained by the anger after seeing British soldiers slaughtering the village.
She regarded these methods as magic, but in the eyes of soldiers and kings, they were witchcraft and magic. They would not say anything when France was in crisis, but when the war situation eased and the British were ready for peace talks, Inder naturally lost his value.
Logically speaking, if a king of the century wanted to escape, the soldiers and the church would be completely helpless against her.
But the Vatican took advantage of Joan of Arc's piety and love for her country, and through the means of religious trial, forced her to accept her fate and be burned at the stake in Rouen Square.
In order to prevent her from getting really angry and discovering the truth, the whole process was handled very cautiously. She was almost coaxed into doing so, and naturally there was no abuse or punishment.
It took Joan of Arc three full hours to briefly recount her short but brilliant life, and the listeners were deeply moved.
But the only common feeling is that the girl is really stupid... so stupid that she can't understand.
Believing in God is fine, after all, there are quite a few brainwashed wizards. What makes Joan of Arc special is her strength.
But I can't understand why you calmly faced the burning at the stake in the end. You accepted the oracle, and your status and proximity to God are definitely higher than those charlatans, so why should you listen to them?
Tom also felt a little sorry, and habitually put his hand on the village girl's head.
If he had met Joan of Arc first, his children would probably have been able to give birth to a football team. But it's not too late now, and he's still easy to deceive.
Joan of Arc was tense all over, not used to Tom's casual movements, but she didn't dare to dodge, and her little face was full of grievance.
"Okay, now that you're here, don't think about the past. I'll arrange a place for you to live first. Slowly get used to your current life, and maybe you'll have different ideas."
Tom's hands were taken away by Ariana. Although Ariana looked at Joan of Arc warily, Joan of Arc still nodded to her gratefully.
"Mr. Riddle, there's no need to be so troublesome. Just give me a haystack or a tent." Joan of Arc said stiffly.
Tom was speechless and exchanged a glance with Ravenclaw. The woman nodded slightly, understanding what he was thinking.
The most important thing now is to make Jeanne become 'normal' so that she can consider becoming a teacher.
"Leave it to me." Ravenclaw said softly.
Tom nodded, and Jeanne, still in a daze, was taken away by Ravenclaw, and Ariana followed.
One of Ravenclaw's hobbies was designing houses, and the layout of Hogwarts was his work. Since there was a large open space in the study area, Tom created a living area and let Ravenclaw do it herself.
Now it's just right for Joan of Arc to use.
The village girl had never seen such a living environment before. She was afraid of dirtying the carpet when she walked into the house. Ravenclaw gradually corrected her habits.
On the other side, Tom and Andros were drinking wine, and the topic was still about Joan of Arc.
"I now understand why she could become the King of the Century at this age without any systematic training or a teacher."
Andros gulped down the liquor in his glass and sighed, "The mind is indeed the most powerful force of a wizard. Her devout faith has become the most resolute will and emotion. Her magic has no technique, it is all emotion."
Grindelwald disagreed. "Andros, everything you said is based on her exaggerated talent. There are so many devout believers in the world, why is there only one Joan of Arc?"
"Without talent, even the strongest mind is useless. To fully realize your talent, you need the power of the mind.
The two started arguing again. Tom found it boring and simply ran out of the study space to sleep.
The next morning, he got up and sent a message to Nicolas Flamel.
Nicolas Flamel was born in 1336, and Joan of Arc in 1431. That is to say, during the period when Joan of Arc was active, Nicolas had already achieved success and fame, and had refined the Philosopher's Stone. He might have known something about Joan of Arc.
[Tom: Grandpa, are you up yet?]
[Six Hundred Years Old Wealthy Old Deng: I was awakened by you even though I didn't get up yet.]
Tom curled his lips. The old man was becoming more and more irritable. He was a mean man and didn't want to bother with him.
Tom: I'm glad you're awake. I have some historical questions for you.
Six hundred years old, rich old man: History? Ask it yourself.
Tom: Do you know Jeanne d'Arc?
Nico thought for a moment before replying.
[That illiterate peasant girl? The Maid of Orleans?]
Tom twitched the corners of his mouth. If Jeanne saw Nicole's evaluation of her, she would definitely burst into tears.
[Six Hundred Years Old Rich Old Deng: I've never met her, but I know that girl is a witch, a genuine witch. The saint canonized by the Holy See is a wizard [Can you wait and laugh?]
Tom was shocked. This old monster really knew a lot. He hurriedly urged Nico to tell him everything he knew.
[Six Hundred Years Old Wealthy Old Deng: I don't know much about her. During the years she was active, I was hiding from other dark wizards trying to seize the Philosopher's Stone. I only know that she used magic to help the French army win many key battles.]
This behavior was truly inhumane. Muggles feared and loathed her, and she violated the Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. She also helped the Vatican capture some wizards. [The Magic Ghost completely abandoned her.]
...
[I heard that during the Vatican's later trials, there were wizards secretly instigating and aggravating the crimes. Otherwise, a hero who saved the country wouldn't have been sentenced to be burned at the stake in such a short time. That's all I know.]
Tom couldn't help but grin after reading Nico's story.
My goodness...what a lot of stupid things he did.
You say Joan of Arc killed the wizard because she was evil? That's absolutely impossible. She was simply deeply ingrained in the Vatican's system, so she would naturally report the wizard she discovered.
[Six Hundred Years Old Rich Old Deng: Why did you suddenly want to know about her?]
Tom: I saw an unofficial history book that said Jeanne d'Arc was indeed a witch, so I came to you to verify it.
[Six Hundred Years Old Wealthy Old Deng: There aren't many records of her being a witch. At the time, witch hunting was rampant, so it's understandable that wizards didn't want to publicly announce the shame of having a traitor among their ranks.]
Tom: Then I have no doubts. Please don't be idle over there either. I'm still waiting to eat the apple.
Tom closed his notebook immediately after writing this paragraph. He could already imagine that there would be a lot of French swear words following it.
Several roommates had already gone out to eat, but Tom was in no hurry to leave. He went to the study space first and arrived at Joan of Arc's new home.
The girl had changed out of her prison uniform and uncuffed herself, now wearing a plain white dress. When Tom arrived, she was spinning in front of the floor-length mirror, her skirt fluttering.
"oops!"
Seeing the young man suddenly appear, Joan of Arc was frightened and screamed, tripped over her left foot and fell to the ground with a thud.
Tom:
"How long do you want to lie there?" Tom said helplessly when he saw the girl was too embarrassed to look up.
Joan of Arc then raised her red face and stood up awkwardly.
"...."
"I understand." Tom interrupted her and said soothingly, "It's normal to like little skirts and new clothes. Don't feel embarrassed."
Joan of Arc responded in a weak, mosquito-like voice.
Taking her to the living room, they sat opposite each other. Tom said seriously, "Joan, there is something you must understand."
"You need to impart your talents and abilities to me without reservation."
"I know." Joan nodded her head earnestly, but then said worriedly, "But I haven't even been to school and I can't even read, let alone how to teach others."
"This is your problem, not mine."
Tom changed his gentle attitude from yesterday and said sternly, "Your presence here is God's will. Since God said you can do it, then you must be able to do it. Are you going to complain to God?"
Joan of Arc's face turned pale and she quickly began to chant a prayer.
It was the Lord who brought her here, which meant... the voice in her mind was 'God', and Tom, as the controller of this space, was... the Son of God?!
After figuring this out, Joan of Arc's gaze towards Tom changed.
Fanaticism, reverence, and a hint of need for a tomb.
[Congratulations to the host, Jeanne d'Arc's recognition has reached 25, 50, and 100. Rewards are being drawn...]
Tom: "???"
In less than 24 hours, the village girl was conquered by him.
Chapter 380: The Voice of Revelation, Divine Grace Acts on Behalf of the Red Lotus Saint
Ding-ding-clang-clang prompt sounds rang out one after another, but Tom ignored them and remained speechless.
After talking with Nico today, he had a new understanding of Jeanne's 'axis'. Combined with her lack of culture and knowledge, he decided to find another way and use the 'master' to quickly get her into the mood.
But now...isn't this too good?!
The recognition is full all of a sudden?
Tom met Joan of Arc's fiery gaze and felt a little guilty, which was rare for him.
Cheating a fool... shouldn't be illegal, right?
If it is illegal, then he must quickly amend the law. As for guilt... there is no such thing. How could someone like him feel guilty?
Besides, instead of letting the illusory "master" deceive the village girl, it would be better to let him, a real person, come.
God?
He could be God if need be!
"Sir, please rest assured." Jeanne stood up excitedly, her childish, clear voice filled with determination, as if she were swearing an oath: "I will quickly organize my abilities and dedicate everything to you."
"Very good! Very energetic!" Tom gave a thumbs up and praised: "But as for everything, "Five-O-Three" will have to wait until we are all adults. You should study hard first and learn all the words before we can talk about anything else."
Joan of Arc blushed and nodded hesitantly.
Tom called Ariana over and asked her to be responsible for teaching Joan of Arc the most basic common sense and knowledge. The little girl patted her chest and agreed, ran to Joan of Arc and asked her to call her teacher.
When Jeanne obediently called Ariana "Teacher", Ariana's eyes curved into crescents with laughter.
No matter who she is teaching now or what subject she is teaching, after enduring for so long, she finally got her wish and became a teacher.
After watching Joan of Arc and Ariana leave hand in hand, Tom finally had the chance to check out the three gifts.
It's a bit fast to give it away for free, but the value of the talent is definitely not low.
Otherwise, how could she become the King of the Century at the age of sixteen and illiterate?
[Faith Enhancement (25 Recognition Reward): Joan of Arc possesses a will as strong as steel. No matter what, her resolve cannot be shaken. This increases the success rate of spellcasting and enhances the power of spells.]
[Voice of Revelation (50 Recognition Reward): Due to years of listening to missionaries reading the Bible and spiritual works, Joan of Arc viewed her superior intuition as "revelation from the Lord."
This faith strengthened her intuition, further enhancing it.
In battle, she could predict enemy actions with near-foresight, possessing the ability to discern good from evil.]
[Divine Grace - Red Lotus Saint (Maximum Level Recognition Reward): Practicing faith with life and soul, she undergoes nirvana and transformation within the blazing flames.
Her magic, spirit, and even her very existence imprint themselves upon the world at the moment of her final demise, triggering unpredictable changes in the laws of nature.
Her magic transcends and sublimates, and the flames that devour her life transform into the Red Lotus Karma Fire that judges all.]
Tom first read all the introductions of the three talents, thought for a while, and then claimed the first two talents in order.
After receiving the enhanced faith, he didn't feel anything at first, but when he used magic experimentally, he immediately noticed the changes [which is similar to the enhancement of soul essence.
The intuition gained from the voice of revelation will only take effect at a specific time. The so-called distinction between good and evil is not a pure view of good and evil, but the goodwill and malice towards the gifted owner.
Isn't this the Nine-Tailed Fox...
As for the final divine grace, Tom thought about it and didn't accept it yet. It sounded a bit mysterious. He didn't know how long it would take to digest the talent, and whether it would cause a big commotion. It was better to leave it for the night.
Tom jumped out of bed, rushed into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and hurried to the auditorium to have breakfast.
"You seem very happy today?" Hermione noticed that Tom was different today. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which unconsciously curled up.
"Of course I'm happy to see you."
Tom's casual sweet words made Hermione lower her head shyly. In fact, this level of ambiguous communication was nothing between the two of them, but for some reason, she felt that what Tom said today was particularly serious, which made her believe that Tom was so happy because of her.
Tom also noticed Hermione's abnormality. They were an old couple. Under normal circumstances, Hermione would definitely roll her eyes or pretend to pinch him. She would never be seduced like this.
He soon realized that this was the result of strengthened belief. Not only did he believe what he said, but others also believed it.
No wonder a village girl could make so many nobles, lords, knights and warriors charge after her.
Tom looked thoughtful, but Daphne pouted.
"So you just want to see Hercule, Tom? Then I'll leave.
"How could that be?" Tom came back to his senses and quickly comforted the young lady, holding her little hand. "I get to see you every day, so I'm happy every day. Is there anything else to say?"
The little witch immediately smiled happily. Regardless of whether she had the faith to enhance this talent or not, Daphne would believe it.
It was not until Professor McGonagall appeared in the classroom that she reluctantly let go of the boy's hand and listened to the class obediently.
If it were any other teacher, the two of them would probably continue to be together.
Tom was teaching outside, and inside the study space, Ariana was also teaching Joan of Arc.
At this time, Ariana's expression was already a little wrong.
"Joan of Arc, these are just a few letters... What's so difficult about them?"
Modern English is derived from French and Japanese, and some advanced vocabulary comes from Latin, the ancestor of all continental languages.
Moreover, compared to French, English has been simplified a lot and is easier to learn.
In the learning space, you can communicate without obstacles by relying on the characteristics of the space, but after resurrection, you still have to rely on your own language ability, so Ariana taught Jeanne English.
But half a day passed and Joan of Arc didn't even recognize ten of the twenty-six English letters.
Joan of Arc's eyes were also full of circles. She felt that these garbled characters were a hundred times harder to understand than the marching maps of the past. "Miss Ariana, I... I tried hard to memorize a few letters, but I get confused when you teach me the rest."
Ariana's expression stiffened.
Was she too hasty in accepting the task of teaching Joan of Arc to read?
Determined not to give up easily, Ariana held on until noon, and finally broke down and went to Ravenclaw for help...
After hearing Ariana's description, Ravenclaw, who was taking a break from his work, smiled gently. "It's just learning to read. It's not that complicated. You must be using the wrong method."
"Sister Rowena, I really can't help it." Ariana swung Ravenclaw's arm and begged: "Jean is obviously very serious, but I just can't remember anything. Please help me.
"Okay, I got it." Ravenclaw stretched lazily, the silk robe could not hide her perfect curves, but instead made them more seductive.
She stood up and a looser uniform flew over from the hanger at the door and was put on.
"Come on, I'll go with you."
Ariana was overjoyed and immediately acted as a guide, taking Ravenclaw to find Jeanne to "settle the score."
When Tom came in the evening, none of the three women showed up.
But he was just puzzled for a moment and didn't think much about it.
After coming out of the shadow of her childhood, Ariana gradually regained her quirky and clever personality and learned things very quickly, not to mention Ravenclaw, the smartest witch of all time.
These two people can't handle a village girl?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Tom brought Andros over to be his experimental opponent.
When Andros learned that Jeanne had achieved perfect recognition, he was stunned for a long time, marveling at the speed of this free approval.
Tom reminded: "Andros, no matter what happens later, don't be shocked."
The Red Lotus Saint, acting on behalf of God.
Putting aside the actual effect of this talent, just the Red Lotus Saint behind her... makes Tom feel scared.
You can't turn him into a magical girl, right?
Unfortunately, his power of time could not see any changes after receiving it. After hesitating for a day, he decided to receive the talent in the learning space. If he really transformed, he would use the space authority to seal this talent completely and pretend that it had never appeared.
Andros was a little confused by what he said, but he still nodded reliably.
Only then did Tom receive the talent with peace of mind.
The next second, strange flames enveloped the boy's entire body. The flames seemed to come from hell, and countless sharp screams and roars were heard from them, while strangely carrying a sacred power.
For a moment, Andros didn't know how to judge the power of this flame.
Tom, who was wrapped in it, was unharmed. The flames slowly and firmly penetrated into his body, and at the same time, the magic power was also undergoing transformation.
Tom was very familiar with this transformation, which was very similar to when he took the golden apple.
However, the biggest difference was that the divine power of the golden apple was an active talent, which required him to activate it in order to fuse the divine power with magic power to produce a higher level of power.
This time, the transformation directly improved the essence of magic power, but the magnitude was lower.
The talent fusion was very fast. In just five minutes, the flame had completely disappeared and a flame mark appeared between the eyebrows.
Andros was somewhat delighted, yet uncertain.
After Tom opened his eyes, he immediately cast a tentative spell.
