The school motto of Hogwarts was a phrase that Jon was very familiar with.
It was a Latin saying, "Dracodormiens nunquam titillandus," which means, "Never tease a sleeping dragon."
As for why this school motto was, Jon had never asked Helga, and Helga had no intention of telling him either. When this topic was brought up, she would just skim through it, completely unlike her usual teaching style.
Helga naturally had her reasons for not saying anything, and Jon would not take the initiative to ask about things that had nothing to do with him.
Besides, even if the crypt really had something to do with the school motto, just knowing the meaning of the school motto would be of no use.
However, he had always thought that it was just a code phrase. He did not expect that Hogwarts really had dragons.
"Of course. After all, back then, dragons were Wizard's allies against the Holy See. The reason why Hogwarts could have dragon bones was because of its friendly relationship with the giant dragons. It was one of the legacies that the four founders left for the school. However, there are fewer and fewer dragons now."
Hearing this, Jon retorted, "Not necessarily. I saw Hagrid hugging his dragon egg a few days ago."
Naughty Ghost glanced at him faintly. "The number of dragons back then was at least several times more than now. Now, dragons have become protected animals in the magic world. It's not like those dragons in the East that are comparable to gods have always been rare. Back then, dragons also had wisdom and were a very powerful race."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to think that Jon would not believe him, so he added another sentence.
"The school's Barrier of the Sleeping Dragon has been operating on its own for so many years. It is not only because the founders left behind a lot of wonderful ideas on the school's construction when they built the school. Although these ideas had an indelible impact on the school's operation and formed a lot of conventional habits, the strength of the material itself is unavoidable. Do you think anything can trap a Red Archbishop? The Red Archbishops of the Holy See are all at the level of the legendary Wizard. "
"Then the one who was caught …"
"That's a captive. The headmaster and the others ran into him when they were out looking for materials. They only managed to bring him back after being surrounded by several Great Sages and two Legends. They were supposed to negotiate with the Holy See, but the Archbishop ended up killing himself in prison."
Naughty clearly had a lot of grievances when he said this, as though he was angry at the Arch-Cardinal's uselessness.
Well, it had nothing to do with him anyway.
The two of them chatted casually, and soon Jon asked about the specific situation of the Dragon Soul Crypt.
That place did have some traces left behind by the founder, but they were not useful. Pi Pi's understanding of that place was very limited, and he did not know what Helga had put there.
However, Jon felt that if he went to that place, he might be able to find out what was there that was worth Helga's attention.
"If you insist, then I won't persuade you. My original mission was to help Dumbledore inform you of the dangers there."
"Where in this world is there no danger? Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't go because of the danger?
Moreover, I think that if Ancestor Helga insists on me going, it means that the danger there is not as serious as we think. "
Naughty Ghost expressed deep admiration for Jon's character of becoming firmer the more he persuaded. In his impression, there was no one like Jon who could still be firm in his ideas under his frequent persuasion.
Jon looked at Naughty Ghost's eyes, and in the end, he did not harden his heart to tell him that most of what he said just now was to persuade him to go.
Mischievous Ghost, who rarely communicated with others, had probably transferred the way he spoke to the headmaster and the spirits back to him. Furthermore, he did not realize how serious of a misunderstanding his way of speaking and tone of voice would cause others to misunderstand him.
Jon was aware of this, but he had always wanted to go. Otherwise, he would not have immediately asked Stephen to investigate the Dragon Soul Crypt after Helga transmitted his consciousness.
Whether he admitted it or not, there was indeed a part of his character that was "radical".
If this part of his character was put bluntly, it would be that he was very easily influenced by provocation, and thus did some more risky things.
However, Jon was usually not such a person. Most of the time, Jon's caution even seemed a little excessive.
Obviously, Jon was very clear about what kind of character he was. His caution and his risk-taking. Although the combination of these two characters was somewhat contradictory, it was not that incompatible.
It was just that a person who was usually cautious had been restrained for a long time, so naturally, a little radical part of him was born.
This situation was very normal, but he just needed to be more careful and make decisions in a radical state.
Jon did not know how many secrets were hidden in the Dragon Soul Crypt, and he did not care about this matter.
If there was really a ritual stored there, he could use this opportunity to strengthen himself.
Just as Naughty Ghost said, in this world, anything used for good was righteous, and used for evil was evil.
Righteousness and evil were always the definitions of people, and not the definitions of objects or anything else.
After bidding farewell to Naughty Ghost, Jon pressed hard on the roof, and his whole body flew up.
Magic was the same as the skills of craftsmen — practice made perfect. Recently, he had used magic to fly a little more often, so his control of flying magic was better.
Although he had not yet reached the level of Voldemort or the Black Wizard who could fly in the form of smoke, Jon felt that there was no need to disguise himself when flying.
He always felt that the so-called black smoke was used by the Black Wizard to release signals. In other words, it was pretentious, but in fact, there was no style to it.
If he really wanted to cover his tracks, he could just cast a Phantom Spell on himself while flying. Who would want to keep an eye on their surroundings while flying to see if there was an invisible adept around them?
Not everyone had a detectable force field like Jon. These were all little tricks in the war era, and now it was obviously forgotten by the Wizard who had been at peace for too long.
