Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

After calming down, Ryan soon discovered that the cold water in the lake did not cause him to drown. On the contrary... his breathing was extremely smooth, as if he was walking on a grassland in the wilderness.

Beside him, the goblin Neil and the little train disappeared.

He couldn't even look up to see the surface of the lake where it should be.

It was as if he was not in the lake at all, but in the deepest part of a vast ocean.

"Is it a teleportation device? A portkey or something else?"

Ryan was thinking in his mind, but his thoughts were soon interrupted.

Because in front of him, in the dark lake, there was a door rising from the depths of the lake.

There were four seals on the door - a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake.

And amidst them all, was a name.

Layne Elias

And below, there is a line of words.

[Do you remember what we said to you on that moonlit night? ]

It is the key.

So Ryan understood who the owner of the vault was.

And his mind couldn't help but recall that night.

That was the night when he was formally accepted as a disciple by the four wizards.

He could recall the campfire that night, the singing of the ravens, the flowers on the ground, the bright stars and the laughter that echoed through the valley.

That night, even the most indifferent Slytherin showed a rare smile.

It was also on that night that he heard the wishes of the four wizards for the first time - their wish to travel and their expectations for Ryan.

Their voices seemed to still echo in Ryan's ears.

“Per aspera ad astra (Follow this arduous journey to the stars).”

then...

"Boom!"

With a loud and dull sound, the door of the treasure house opened in front of Ryan.

Chapter 6 Huge Wealth, Magic Wand and Messages from the Big Four!

When entering the open vault door, Ryan was still in a dream.

What was dreamy was not only the flowing lake water, but also the fact that it seemed to be blocked outside the vault door by some invisible barrier.

It wasn't just that his body didn't actually show any signs of being wet.

What's even more fantastic is that he already knows the origin of this vault.

The goblin Neil's words explained it all - this vault existed before Gringotts was built.

Even the existence of Gringotts was ordered by the goblin Ragnark I to protect this vault.

And the owner of this vault, without a doubt, must be his four teachers!

"It seems that after I left, the four teachers went to find Ragnak I and left this vault through him... Poor guy."

Although Gringotts was founded in 1474, there was a significant gap in time between that of Ryan's four teachers.

But Ryan didn't find it strange.

As magical creatures, goblins have a much longer lifespan than wizards.

Fairy kings like Ragnak have a lifespan of over five hundred years.

The only thing Ryan was curious about was how much "reasoning" the Goblin King had to listen to before agreeing to help.

"That guy is a stubborn bastard—the teachers must have something on him."

Ryan muttered to himself, but soon he was attracted by the things inside the treasure house.

First of all, the treasure house was so huge that it was unconventional. Ryan even felt that this place looked more like a castle.

And on the ground of this castle, there are countless things densely packed.

At the very center is a mountain of gold.

It means exactly what it says. Gold Galleons engraved with goblin characters piled up like a mountain, making it almost impossible for Ryan to open his eyes.

There is a line of words below.

【Don’t forget exploration and courage】

"Great! Great! Mr. Gryffindor, you did a great job!"

Ryan was sure in an instant that this was exactly what he had been thinking about before, the Galleons that Gryffindor had extorted from the Goblin Kingdom... well, accepted as gifts!

But it was clear that Galleons were by no means the only important thing in the treasury.

Or to be more precise - they are actually the least important part of the entire treasure trove.

Around the Golden Mountain, Ryan can see some magical plants and corresponding seeds.

They have all been preserved in the most appropriate way and carefully sealed in herbal bags.

"Devil's Snare..." "Chinese Biting Cabbage..." "Greek Basilisk..." "Kunlun Chalcedony..."

If there was a Potions Master or Herbology Master here, he would notice it immediately.

The value of the magical plants here combined is even greater than that exaggerated mountain of gold.

In particular, there are many magical plants among them, which are even materials that have long been extinct in this era!

And in this vault, they are piled up like mountains, almost countless!

And below these magical plants, there is also a line of words.

Don’t forget diligence and health

Besides that, outside of these herbal bags.

On one side of the treasury, there are huge bookshelves.

The bookshelves are filled with thick magic books.

The books were already a little dusty, but there was still a line of elegant blue handwriting on the bookshelf.

There are also many books among them, which are treasures that have long been lost in time.

Don’t forget knowledge and calmness

As for the end, at various edge locations of this treasure house.

There are also some things that look a bit disharmonious.

They are either magical props emitting black energy, or the heads, hearts, and bones of some magical animals.

At least the ones Ryan could recognize included the wings of a thunderbird, the feathers of a leopard, and even the heart of a Zouwu.

Don’t forget caution and ambition

There is no need to leave your name, just look at these gifts that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Ryan will know who these gifts come from.

And finally, in the deepest part of the treasure house.

Ryan saw the last gift in the treasure house.

It was a magic wand carefully presented in a gift box.

The wand is about fourteen inches long. The amazing thing is that its color starts to change from the handle, and finally presents four colors that are constantly changing and blending.

Red, yellow, blue, and green—just the colors that represent Hogwarts.

And below this magic wand, there is also a line of words.

We left some things for you at school - don't try to find us until you get them.

Finally, happy birthday to you...our disciple.

Then, all of Ryan's thoughts fell silent.

In the era of a thousand years ago, and during those seven years.

Ryan never actually had a wand that truly belonged to him.

The reason is simple - in that era, the rules of the wizarding world were very primitive.

There is no magic academy, and all wizards are apprentices.

Dark wizards don't need to hide themselves in the magical world and can appear openly.

Wizards at that time would not tell you the rules of dueling, nor would they wait for you to draw your wand and bow before starting to fight.

Therefore, wandless casting, silent casting, using other people's wands and even fighting all occupied a very large part of the teachings received by wizards of that era.

Only when all of these have reached a qualified standard, wizards will be qualified to be given a wand of their own by their mentor.

It is a symbol of a wizard apprentice's successful completion and a wizard's "coming of age ceremony".

Of course, Ryan, who was taught by the Big Four, had actually been recognized by the Big Four in his seventh year.

They had even told Ryan that he would get his wand on his eighteenth birthday.

But it's a pity.

Three days before his eighteenth birthday, Ryan returned to this era.

He didn't get his own wand, didn't even get to see what it looked like.

But now, he got it.

After thousands of years.

At the same time, an uncontrollable question arose in his mind.

"You knew I would come back, right?"
