The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 76 Hermione, do you think I'm smart?

Hermione nodded. She had also read the story of Mrs. Ravenclaw and her daughter, so she naturally agreed with Andy's words.

Reading books is obviously useless, otherwise the secret here would have been deciphered long ago.

"But... what should we do?" Hermione asked.

"Hmm..." This question really stumped Andy.

The way to crack the secret is obviously not by reading a book, but if it's related to family ties... then what should be done?

"Let's look for it first!" Andy suggested.

"Okay!" Hermione naturally had no objections, and the two quickly got to work.

Andy looked through the bookshelves one by one. These books were all from Mrs. Ravenclaw's private collection. Although there weren't many books about magic, they were all precious classics in the magical world.

Without a doubt, given Andy's level of magic, he clearly couldn't detect any magical traces here.

The only way to crack the secret is to satisfy Ms. Ravenclaw's demands.

Andy tried to put himself in Mrs. Ravenclaw's mindset.

First, when was this secret revealed?

Before or after the daughter ran away?

Secondly, what was the purpose of Ms. Ravenclaw keeping this secret?

To give young wizards more time to study?

The answer to the first question cannot be verified at the moment.

But the second question... Andy clearly doesn't believe that Lady Ravenclaw left these things simply to give young wizards more time to read.

Although this is indeed in line with Ms. Ravenclaw's style.

Moreover, the person who cracked the secret did indeed read through all the books in the collection in just one night.

But this is time magic!

Did Lady Ravenclaw leave behind such powerful time magic here just so that young wizards could read books?

Moreover, these books are all for leisure!

"Perhaps... the secret that Ms. Ravenclaw wants people to know is hidden in these books."

Andy suddenly realized, "If this hypothesis is correct, then everything makes sense."

Lady Ravenclaw has hidden a secret in the books, but the young wizard only has seven years to study, which is obviously not enough time to read all the books in the collection.

That's why Lady Ravenclaw left behind time magic, giving young wizards more time to read.

"The books here are all about historical sites and legends. Could it be that... Mrs. Ravenclaw was searching for a legend before her death, but unfortunately fell ill and entrusted the matter to future generations?"

Thinking of this, Andy quickly said, "Hermione, I've thought of something. Can you help me analyze it?"

After hearing Andy's guess, Hermione also looked very serious.

Indeed, it would be absurd if Lady Ravenclaw left the time magic merely so that young wizards could read through the books here.

But... what if these books hide some secrets?

"Andy, there are so many books here, and so many stories in them. Even if we read them all, it would be hard to tell what's true and what's false, wouldn't it?" Hermione suddenly said.

"Knowledge and wisdom are the symbols of Ravenclaw, and perhaps this is the test that Lady Ravenclaw has left for us."

Andy's eyes gleamed. "After reading through all the books, distinguish between true and false stories, and find the secret that Ms. Ravenclaw wants us to know."

Andy discovered that those powerful wizards all seemed to have followed some legendary stories.

While searching for the Deathly Hallows, Grindelwald also met Dumbledore in Godric's Hollow, and the two became close friends.

Perhaps Dumbledore also searched for the Deathly Hallows.

It now appears that Ms. Ravenclaw also sought out certain legends and stories.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Andy's guess is correct.

The secret here is either for the daughter or for an ancient legend; one of the two must be the truth.

The first person to discover the secret here had the extraordinary experience of reading all the books in one night.

Therefore, Andy trusted the latter more.

So... which book is it?

"I'm going back for a bit, I'll be right back."

Andy hurriedly ran back to his dorm room, and then ran back with the parchment and quill pen.

Andy waved his wand, and as he cast the spell, the parchment floated into the air, and he wrote and drew on it with a quill.

Hermione glanced at it. "Are you copying down a book title?"

"Hmm... I plan to go back and study it carefully."

Andy said, "Perhaps there's some secret hidden in the title."

After all, the titles of books in the magical world are quite straightforward.

Hermione ignored Andy, took out a book, and sat down to read.

If it's just about reading, Hermione is never afraid of anyone.

The Ravenclaw library didn't have many books, and Andy spent a little over two hours copying down all the titles.

Sitting down opposite Hermione, Andy began studying the book based on its title.

The Life and Habits of Ancient Wizards

The Story I Had to Tell with Merlin

Famous Wizards of the Ancient Magical World and Their Stories

Secrets of the Ancient European Magical World

……

Andy looked through the books one by one according to their titles. Apart from a few books that explained magic, most of the books were related to the ancient magical world, and there were also some poems and prose.

"In terms of time, these books are over a thousand years old."

"Back in the era of the Big Four..."

Andy thought, "That was at the crossroads of ancient and modern magic. Modern simplified magic had not yet appeared, and Lady Ravenclaw was considered the embodiment of wisdom..."

"So...with her intelligence, what will she pursue?"

"The origins of magic? The secrets of ancient magic? The nature of magic? Or some ancient legends?"

Thinking of this, Andy suddenly looked up at Hermione.

"Hermione, do you think I'm smart?" Andy asked.

Hermione: "..."

This guy deserves a beating.

"I'm asking you something serious," Andy said with a serious expression.

"It's alright, I guess!" Hermione said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hmm... if intelligent people think similarly, then the secret that Ms. Ravenclaw most wants to know is perhaps the origin of magic." Because Andy is also very curious about where wizards' magic comes from.

Immortality and power are merely pursuits, not the desire for knowledge.

If the smartest person in the magical world wanted to know one more thing, it would be the origin of magic.

As for the legends and stories?

Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind.

A person who can say this would certainly not pursue those vague and unfounded legends and stories.

"The origin of magic?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

Andy snapped his fingers. "That's right! That's what I want to know most, so I guess it's also what Ms. Ravenclaw wants to know most."

Hermione: "..."

She's wanted to hit someone more than once tonight.

"You're right."

Ms. Gray suddenly appeared. "She was indeed researching these things when she was alive."
