The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 157 Knowledge and Discussion

A new week has arrived. After a week of classes, the students at Hogwarts have gradually adapted to Castrobruzau's teaching methods and the professors' accented English. Under this circumstance, everyone has begun to choose the classes they want to take, and students of the same grade are no longer required to go to class in groups.

Naturally, Daphne from Slytherin went to class alone, while Ryan went to Herbology with Hermione.

As the specialty of Castrobruchu, Herbology naturally has its own unique features. Unlike the greenhouse where they took classes at Hogwarts, they were taken to the tunnels in the park. The Castrobruchu students around them said that their greenhouse was built in the tunnels.

After walking deep into the tunnels for more than ten minutes, the students arrived at a huge underground space, which was so large that it could accommodate a standard football field.

In the air in the middle of the venue, there is a light source that emits light and heat. In addition, under the regulation of a large amount of magic, it is divided into multiple areas with different water and heat conditions and magical environments for cultivating various different plants.

This is not a greenhouse, it's an ecological dome. Ryan was shocked by Castrobrusho's generosity.

At the entrance to the ecological dome, the professor of herbal medicine was already waiting there. Ryan quickly recognized him as the professor he had met in the Emerald Dream before. The professor also obviously recognized Ryan and nodded slightly to greet Ryan.

The third grade course content is not difficult. Today's course is to learn about a simple small symbiosis composed of three special magical plants.

The leaves of this small tropical tree called Wusala can be used to treat a variety of magical diseases, but this plant must work together with the moss on the trunk and the parasites on the roots to show good medicinal effects. At the same time, neither the moss nor the parasites can produce nutrients on their own. They can only survive by absorbing nutrients from the tree.

Today we will learn about this plant and how to determine the optimal amount of the two parasites on each tree.

Ryan was quickly attracted by a piece of knowledge in the professor's explanation. He had encountered many problems in the greening process of the radiation world before, and the knowledge the professor talked about could perfectly solve one of the difficult problems. You know, even Dave and the experts in the academy were helpless in this problem before.

As the old saying goes, there is a sequence in learning, and there is a specialization in skills. There is no omniscient person in the world, especially in different knowledge systems, the solutions to problems may be completely different. Just like getting memories from Voldemort's Horcrux, Dumbledore couldn't do it anyway, but Uncle Nine could get some memories. This does not mean that Uncle Nine's fighting power is higher than Professor Dumbledore, but there are different methods in different power systems.

The same is true for Voldemort. He has indeed reached a top level of defense against the magic of his own system. But he still lacks resistance when facing another magic system mastered by Uncle Jiu that he has never seen before.

So Ryan took this opportunity to continue asking questions, and also received a satisfactory answer. At this time, he became excited and used the series of data he had collected before to directly answer many of the questions he encountered.

Because they had met each other in the Emerald Dream before, the professor only answered Ryan's questions out of help for his fellow students. But later, when Ryan showed him a lot of information, he was also moved. Because he happened to be studying this aspect, but the magic world did not suffer as much damage to the natural world as the radiation world. So he could only conduct experiments and observations by artificially creating a micro-ecosphere. Naturally, many of the research results obtained in this way would be far from the real situation, so after listening to Ryan's knowledge, he quickly signaled Ryan to stop and told the students to start independent observation.

After explaining the class content, the professor immediately took him to his office to discuss in detail, because he had been stuck on this issue for a long time, and this time he met someone with the same interests, he definitely didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Half an hour later, the professor displayed a lot of things on the blackboard in the office and began to explain them to Ryan with great enthusiasm. Ryan, on the other hand, would occasionally ask his own questions and produce a lot of observation data as evidence. Sometimes he would also point out the flaws in the professor's explanation and put forward the correct viewpoints confirmed through observation.

Even the two of them would have a heated argument over some issues, and after getting the answer in the argument, they would continue the discussion. In short, now both of them have entered a state of frenzy for knowledge.

Although the two of them knew each other in the Emerald Dream, they were just nodding acquaintances before. Ryan spent more time communicating with people of his age. The professor also had other things to do and did not have time to communicate too much with students like them. However, during this exchange, the magic world system mastered by the professor and the knowledge systems of the other two completely different worlds that Ryan knew collided fiercely, bursting out unprecedented brilliance.

No matter what you do, once you get excited, it's easy for the situation to get out of your control. This is exactly what we are discussing now.

Ryan easily gained knowledge that could be passed down as a family heirloom for some small pure-blooded magic families during the discussion. Just like scientists, many scientists can cover their entire life's research in a few hours if they don't need details, or even more extreme, a formula is enough. Wizards are the same, at least Ryan felt that he had almost taken out all the treasures in the professor's belly in just a few hours.

Of course, both sides benefited equally from this conversation. In the face of Ryan's large amount of detailed and effective data and unique ideas, the professor felt that the project that would take him a lifetime to complete could probably be completely completed in just a few months.

When the two of them were almost done discussing, the bell rang. Ryan was surprised to find that it was already noon, and he had spent the entire morning discussing.

However, Ryan also benefited a lot this morning. After all, with the density of schools in the magic world, it can be basically judged that every professor can influence almost all the next generation of students in the area. In this case, the professor will naturally choose the best of the best, so something that can be the life's work of a professor will naturally not be simple. This is why the professor decided to take Ryan directly to his office to avoid all the students when discussing: because the knowledge of the magic world is the most valuable.

If he hadn't heard that what Ryan had in his hand was obviously data that had consumed a lot of resources and time (both Dave and the academy had invested a lot of energy in the study of botany, and some observation data had even lasted for hundreds of years) and could greatly advance their own research, he wouldn't have discussed it so deeply with Ryan.

Because the discussion was over, Ryan was about to leave when the professor suddenly stopped him and asked him to wait a moment.
