In the distant and ancient East, there was a saying that was widely known.
When you couldn't continue to add, you might as well do some subtraction. Throwing away some things that you didn't really need might increase your gains.
What did Jon throw away?
A lot.
He spent almost all of his energy on improving the purity of his bloodline and the strength of his magic. As for the depth of his magic, he still relied on Helga's strict training in the beginning and the latter's exhortations.
Moreover, the magic that he knew now was very strange.
Strictly speaking, he should have the strength of a fifth-grade student. However, the content that he learned was far less than that of an ordinary fifth-grade student.
Only the magic spells that he could use were heavily practiced by him, while the other magic spells and lessons were temporarily abandoned by him.
How should he put it?
There were gains and losses.
In fact, he had suspected that the part of his bloodline that came from Huaxia had inherited the power of the Mystic Bird Totem. However, on second thought, he probably hadn't seen the Mystic Bird in Huaxia for many years. The appearance of this ancient legendary creature was more likely because of Helga. However, he saw the ancient image, which stimulated the Huaxia bloodline in his body and caused some kind of atavism.
But no matter what, this was beneficial to him. At least now he could communicate with his Guardian Angel to obtain some of the Mystic Bird's power. At the same time, he could use the Eris Magic Mirror to see the future.
How should he put it? Although it was a little difficult, it was a fun feeling.
The advantage of the Mystic Bird's power was that if a human prophet wanted to see the future, he might have to pay a cruel price. The Mystic Bird had the ability to see the future. As the messenger that Fate gave to the gods to find the future, the Mystic Bird's power could be categorized as an extremely magical type. At the same time, he would be able to provide Jon with the best possibility without having to pay any price.
It was extremely lucky to have such a Guardian Angel. Jon didn't even know why he was so favored by the heavens.
Maybe it was because he was handsome.
… …
It was enough to joke around. There was still business to be done.
Jon focused his gaze and locked it on the surface of the Eris Magic Mirror, trying to find light in the void.
Yes, what he saw was a mass of nothingness.
The Eris Magic Mirror would show the viewer a reflection based on what they wanted to know or desired. When Jon expressed his desire to know about his future, the Eris Magic Mirror was no longer just a mirror that displayed human desires. If that was the only function it had, then it wouldn't deserve to be called a magic mirror.
The magic of this mirror was very mysterious. Showing people's desires was just a side effect. Its true ability was far from being discovered.
But if Jon knew that he had the ability to see into the future, Dumbledore seemed to know that as well.
This was not strange at all. Jon looked at the mirror calmly, trying to find some clues from the nothingness.
The more the situation was like this, the more they couldn't be anxious. What they needed the most at this time was patience and stability.
However, he stood in front of the mirror for nearly ten minutes. After the power of the Mystic Bird Guardian God was exhausted, he did not see any useful clues.
Thus, he gave up on this matter in disappointment.
It was normal that he could not find any clues here. For Jon himself, he had only recently started to understand the power of the Mystic Bird, so he was not proficient enough in controlling it. Moreover, the Eris Magic Mirror itself was not too powerful. Otherwise, this mirror would have become a divine artifact long ago and would not have been left in the Hogwarts to collect dust until now.
"Alright, I really didn't find anything."
Jon and Stephen walked back to Dumbledore's side. In this short period of time, the corpse on the ground no longer resembled the original Professor Quirrell.
"Professor, aren't we going to deal with this?"
Jon pointed at the corpse on the ground that no longer looked human. Strangely, for some reason, Quirrell's corpse had turned into a very light gray color in such a short period of time. It looked like it was piled up with sand.
"That's the sand transformation caused by the curse. I think you should have some understanding of the protection spell on you."
Jon did not avoid this matter. In fact, after Dumbledore became aware of Helga's existence, there were fewer things that Jon had to hide in front of Dumbledore. After all, in the past, Dumbledore was only apprehensive that he was the descendant of Helga. Now that he knew that Helga was not truly dead and was still hiding in some corner of this world, he was even more blatant in his care of Jon. He did not try to force Jon to do anything like before.
However, at the same time, Dumbledore's respect for Helga did not mean that Jon could do anything he wanted. At least for now, Jon's respect for Dumbledore had only increased.
Distant water could not quench a present thirst. No matter how strong Helga was, he was still too far away from him. Furthermore, it was very difficult to project him into the real world. Dumbledore's help was the fastest and most effective.
Hence, this matter came to an end, and everything settled down.
After spending the last few days of peace in school, the long-awaited summer vacation finally arrived.
As for Jon, he naturally could not leave just like that. Before he left, he still had to greet the teachers who had always taken care of him.
Snape and Professor Sprout were considered family to Chown, so there was no need to make it so formal. They were all family. As for Professor Mag and Professor Flick, Jon had to meet them personally.
And evidently, Dumbledore's persuasion had a very big effect. Professor Mag no longer expressed her views on Jon.
Jon even went to look for Dumbledore specially for this matter.
"All in all, I still have to thank you for taking care of me in school. There's one more thing I would like to remind you, Professor. Germany has not been very peaceful recently."
Dumbledore obviously knew a little about the mess over there, but that was something that the Ministry of Magic should worry about. It had nothing to do with him.
That had better be the case.
The voices in the distance suddenly grew louder. It was almost time. The students who were preparing to go home were already in a commotion. They were all carrying their luggage and walking towards the school gate.
Jon patted the small leather suitcase beside him and turned back with a smile as he said to Dumbledore, who was beside him.
"Then, see you next semester, Principal."
