Elwyn did not reject the offer. He promised to join their research team if he could go to America.
Traveling abroad was part of his plan. Even though he had not decided where to go yet, judging from the current situation, if he did not want to go to Boothbottom or Durmstrong, it was more likely that he would go to a magic school in America.
There were two magic schools in America, and one of them was for girls.
Therefore, if Elwyn wanted to go to America for an exchange, his only choice would be Ivamoni Magic School.
The magic school was founded in the sixteenth century, and was located at the top of Mount Greylock in Massachusetts.
Information about the magic school had always been top secret, and it was difficult for outsiders to know.
Fortunately, there were three wizards in the alchemy team from America who had graduated from Ivamoni, including the person in charge of the team, Paul Roberts. He was the one who had invited Elwyn to join their team.
In the next two weeks, he and Elwyn became closer, and often came to discuss magic runes with him.
If Lavier was too busy to accompany Elwyn, he would spend time with Paul and the others.
After learning that Elwyn planned to go to Ivamoni for an exchange, Paul enthusiastically told him about Ivamoni. This was also the first time that Elwyn had learned about this magic school in America.
First, according to unverifiable legends, Ivamoni Magic School was founded by the descendants of Salazar Slytherin.
Some said that the founder was Slytherin's daughter, while others said that it was his student.
Because of the baptism of war, Ivamoni had once been conquered by the local Native Americans. Many precious early materials had been lost or destroyed.
The current magic world and magic historians could only rely on textual research to speculate about Ivamoni's history.
But regardless of whether it was the daughter or the student, all stories about Ivamoni had something to do with Slytherin.
In fact, the magic school was founded as a legacy of the Hogwarts in America.
Elwyn did not know where the descendants of the other three founders of Hogwarts were now, or if they had gone extinct long ago. Slytherin, on the other hand, seemed to have a thriving family with many famous people.
On the grounds of the Ivamoni School, there was an ancient tree known as the Snake Tree.
The tree was planted by the founder of Ivamoni. It was said that the seed came from Salazar Slytherin. It was a unique magical plant in the world. The amazing thing about the tree was that it was extremely hard. Its branches could not be cut off no matter how much force was used to cut them. They could only wait for the tree to wither and fall.
The wizards also found that talking to it in the snake language would make the tree shake and drop its leaves.
These leaves had powerful healing properties and were believed to be a gift from Slytherin.
Because of this, Ivamoni had always been believed to have been created by Slytherin's descendants. This was the most direct and convincing proof of all the rumors and speculations. First of all, the tree known as the "Snake Tree" had been planted in the early days of Ivamoni's founding. Second, it could interact with the snake language.
Although this was a rare talent, there were many wizards in the long history of magic who could use this language and were famous for it.
However, almost all of them were dark wizards. Salazar Slytherin was the only one who was not.
Another point was that the talent of the snake language could be inherited.
There was no need to investigate further. The truth was clear!
If the founder of Ivamoni could speak in the snake language, then he must be the descendant of a wizard with a positive evaluation. He could not be a dark wizard.
This was related to the school's reputation and status. Therefore, the founder had to be related to Slytherin.
This was the only choice. It could not be the other notorious dark wizards. Even if it was, no one would admit it.
From Ivan's point of view, that was probably the case.
After confirming that it was Slytherin, all he had to do was look for information and prove it.
The wizards and magic civilization in America originated from Europe. The historical records of Salazar Slytherin's later years were vague, so there was a lot of room for manipulation. If not for the mismatch in time and the fact that Slytherin lived in a time when America had not been discovered, they might have said that Slytherin had founded Ivamoni himself …
Regardless, it was fine as long as they could be related to Slytherin.
Ivamoni was born into a noble family and had a good relationship with the Hogwarts.
Ivamoni tried to imitate Hogwarts in terms of the school's internal structure. There were four academies.
They were the Long-horned Water Snake Academy, the Gnome Academy, the Thunderbird Academy, and the Cat Panther Academy.
Their names sounded a little funny. These were the most famous mystical creatures in the Americas.
Considering Ivamoni's history, some things were not hard to understand!
The original purpose of the Ivamoni Magic School was to train wizards in America to fight against the native Indians and their witch doctors. It was a product of the great discovery and colonization. For a long time in its early days, the magic school was more like a magic fortress.
To show off its power, Ivamoni used the most powerful magical creature in America as the name of the school.
There was something else that Paul told Elwyn. It was also a rumor.
It was said that the wizards of Ivamoni had found four sacred artifacts of the native people, corresponding to the four schools.
He first looked at the details of the academies. The first was the Long-Horned Water Snake Academy. Its symbol was a silver-colored long-horned water snake with a crystal on its forehead.
Needless to say, the Longhorn Water Snake was a magical creature unique to America. It was worshiped by the native Indian witch doctors as a god.
The crystal on its head was not only beautiful, but it also had strong magic power.
Whether it was used as a decoration or as a magic material, it was the best.
Because of this, the silver-white Longhorn Water Snake had been hunted in large numbers. It was rare to see one now.
The second academy was the Goblin Academy. Goblins were short, gray-faced creatures with big ears.
Elwyn had seen goblins in Weasley's garden, but the American goblins looked very different from their European relatives. They were like two different creatures. Maybe it was because of the climate, or maybe they were the offspring of goblins and fairies, but the American goblins had high intelligence and social structure.
In America, the status of goblins was similar to the status of fairies in Europe.
They were equally intelligent, equally powerful in magic, and equally greedy.
When Ivamoni Magic School was in a difficult situation in its early days, the school had survived with the help of the goblins and developed bit by bit.
To thank the goblins for their contributions, Ivamoni made it one of the four major academies.
The third was the Thunderbird Academy. Its symbol was a bird that could bring storms when it flew.
It was also a magical creature unique to America. It was also called the Northern Indian Divine Bird.
The Thunderbird was very dangerous. Its attack was even stronger than the fire dragon.
Unlike the gentle Longhorn Water Snake, the Thunderbird could not be tamed or bred like the fire dragon.
