Dumbledore's magic fully reflected the strength of a legendary Wizard.
There wasn't much of a commotion. Amidst the slight ripples, an exquisite wooden hut appeared in front of Chown.
Was this the power of a legendary spell? Oh my god.
Of course, Jon knew what was going on. Summoning spells could do it, and as long as there were enough wooden planks, he could also do it by assembling spells. However, he put on a surprised expression, which was in line with his age.
Regardless of whether this appearance was useful or not, at least it was better than nothing. If Dumbledore gave up on some of his schemes against him, wouldn't that be a gain?
Jon's own little abacus was extremely bright. If it weren't for the circumstances, he even wanted to move his house and his little elf to Hogwarts.
But this was already good enough. One had to learn to be content with what one had.
After Dumbledore helped Jon build a house, Jon took over the rest of the work and let the headmaster go back to do his own things.
Of course, as a reward, Jon would be very obedient for a period of time. He would definitely not do anything during this time.
… Try not to do anything.
The layout of the wooden house didn't need to be so delicate. A bed, a desk, a row of bookshelves, a fireplace and a sofa were basically enough. After all, leisure and entertainment could be done in the yard.
Speaking of the yard … Jon crossed his arms and looked at the abrupt barrier around him. Then, he cast a spell to move the soil on the ground of the training ground, arching out a large continuous low wall. There was only a small opening at the entrance of the barrier for entering and exiting.
Just like that, a simple and small dwelling was arranged.
Jon didn't care whether Dumbledore left anything here that he shouldn't have. He intended to use this place to store the completed and unfinished research results. Would Dumbledore take advantage of his absence to look through his notes?
It would be best if Dumbledore could read Chinese or had the time to learn Chinese.
Other things aside, when Helga used a certain degree of "cheat" ability to learn all the languages in the world through [Deep Blue Sea], Jon witnessed it with his own eyes. For two whole months, 60% to 70% of the time was spent learning Chinese.
Being difficult to learn was not a lie, but a result of actual practice.
When one word could explain several meanings, even Helga felt a little confused after learning it.
The protective spell was cast by Dumbledore himself, so there was no need to worry about his safety. Jon packed up his things, cast a Phantom Spell on himself, and left the training ground.
He didn't know how to use Phantom Transfiguration, and the cost of Shadow Shift was too high. Therefore, if he wanted to move around silently, the Phantom Body Spell was the best choice.
On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Jon would go to the clock shop to interact with the alchemist couple.
After circling around the clock shop for so long, Jon had a little understanding of the situation.
The Lemares opened a clock shop here, but their main purpose was not to sell watches.
The shop was just a cover. It might seem like an idle business to others, but the Lemares were happy with it.
Jon didn't spend a lot of time here every week, and after everyone got familiar with each other, Perrenal no longer treated Jon as an outsider. The main reason he let Jon stay here was to help clean up.
Clocks would collect dust, but if one cleaned them with magic, they would sometimes accidentally destroy the enchantment on the clocks. Since Jon was willing to stay here, he would do the cleaning.
Jon was also happy to be idle. This kind of opportunity to help a great mage was very rare, and the Lemares were even more special. They were the only two Wizards that Jon had ever seen who walked the ancient path of magic. Nowadays, most wizards would skip the 'sage' rank when they advanced. After becoming a 'scholar', they would immediately become a half-step 'legendary'.
Coincidentally, Nico Lemour and her wife were both Great Sage Magi. This was an opportunity that one could only come across by chance, but not by chance.
Jon attributed this to his good luck. As the saying went, the harder you worked, the luckier you were. Jon felt that he was just like that.
After cleaning up the shop, he would sit down with Perrenal for afternoon tea. As a reward, Perrenal would help him solve some problems in his magic studies.
Due to some special reasons, Jon would sometimes not be able to sense the presence of magic in the clock shop.
Just like the Loyalty Spell, the magical elements were also blocked. Chown was like an old mobile phone, the signal was intermittent. Sometimes, he even had to raise his hand in the air to look for a signal. Anyway, it was very difficult to sense.
"Because time is chaotic here. Sometimes, even we can't sense the presence of magic."
"Time … is chaotic?"
"Surprised? I thought you noticed this when you first came. Let's eat and talk. "
Perrenal walked out of the kitchen with a small plate of cake and handed a plate to Jon. Tea was already prepared on the small round table.
"Okay, as you wish."
Jon had been here a few times, and each time, he was talking to Perrenal. He had never talked to Mr. Lemares.
When he came, Mr. Lemares was working at the counter. When he left, Mr. Lemares was still there.
"Do you need some sugar cubes?"
Jon shook his head. He looked at Nico Lemares and asked softly, "Is Mr. Lemares always like this?"
"Him? Don't worry about him. He never stops. Unless something big happens, or Dumbledore comes, he won't turn around from his clocks. "
"So that's how it is."
Jon took a sip of tea and frowned. He didn't know what kind of tea it was today. It was a bit bitter.
"Speaking of which, we've known each other for a long time, but we haven't talked about your life and our lives."
"Because I'm not very interested in that. I prefer ancient things, such as ancient magic systems. But didn't you say we were going to talk about time here?"
"Of course, we can start now."
Jon put on a respectful expression and sat down obediently.
"There's a very important reason why I told you to come here often."
Pérenard said with a smile:
"Because you're special. You'll be very helpful to our research."
