The person who appeared in his house at this time was probably not friendly.
Jon's heart immediately jumped. He walked to the door and clenched the magic wand in his hand, but he did not remove the Illusion Spell on himself.
Since he was already here, he could only face these dangers head-on. Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Even if he couldn't win, he could still call for help.
So the door slowly opened. Behind the door was a face that surprised Jon.
Standing outside was a witch in a brand-new robe.
"Professor Sprout? Why are you here? " Jon quickly removed the Illusion Spell on himself. He was not worried that this person was a fake Professor Sprout, because the witch in front of him had a badge on her chest.
It was the badge that was awarded during the conference in London. Chown knew that the badge was engraved with the magic of several great scholars, so it was impossible to copy it.
Whether the witch in front of him was Professor Sprout or not, with this badge, Jon would not think that this person was a fake.
Moreover, the witch in front of him was not aggressive at all. She was just like the Professor Sprout he knew.
"Can't I come? I happened to be in London this afternoon to receive the award. I heard from the headmaster that you were in London, so I wanted to come and find you. But it seems that you are not calm here just now. "
Professor Sprout obviously did not use the Illusion Spell, because both sides of her cheeks were red. Obviously, she was blown by the wind in the sky.
"But, but how did you find me?"
It should not be Dumbledore, because the headmaster knew where he would live in London. Rank must have told Dumbledore the location of this place. If it was Dumbledore, he only needed to tell the specific address to Professor Sprout, and the professor could use the Illusion Spell to come here.
"Oh, I don't think this is difficult."
Professor Sprout raised her hand, and Jon saw a note in her hand. Not far behind the witch, there was an owl with two claws on the wall lamp in the corridor.
It was indeed Professor Sprout's owl. Jon had seen it in the professor's office before.
Now, he could be more certain of her identity.
Obviously, the professor had written him a note and then flew over with the owl.
It was indeed a very unorthodox method. Jon gently scratched his head. He did not know that owls could be used like this. He always thought that owls would only find people according to the address on the envelope.
"How slow is that? Owls won't be able to read your handwriting."
Professor Sprout was led to the reception room by Jon. She sat on the sofa and drank a cup of hot tea.
"The magic of owls came from the magic experiments of the ancient Wizard. They needed a creature that could accurately locate them to help them deliver letters. At that time, only birds could meet their requirements. Among them, owls were a very suitable species for magic and intelligence. Therefore, the ancient Wizard modified them and made them able to obtain the location of the person they needed to deliver the message through some mysterious magic. As for the envelope, it was completely a formality."
The witch raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "In fact, there are some rumors that the magic of owls came from the failure of a certain Wizard's experiment. It was the result of a lucky hit … In one of the experiments, the magic brought a curse to the Wizard, and the owl next to him happened to be the life that resisted the curse for him. The curse was soon transmitted to the entire owl community through an owl. In the end, the owl community evolved some magic abilities in order to survive, but the price was that a lot of owls died at that time. It was later that the Wizard discovered their magic abilities and helped them, which led to the situation of the western magic world using owls as messengers."
Jon nodded. In fact, he did not want to know about the past of owls, but since Professor Sprout was so happy today, he did not want to spoil her mood.
Not all students were lucky enough to share the joy of a great scholar at such an important moment.
As for why Professor Sprout came to him, it was not important at all.
After all, he was already here.
"But since you're here, I have something to ask you."
…
An hour later.
In the quiet reception room, the dim light of the table lamp reflected the faces of the two people.
Jon sat on the chair with his hands crossed on his legs. With a very shy smile on his face, he was as gentle as a lady.
Opposite him, Professor Sprout's face seemed to be heavy. After listening to Jon's story, she picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip.
In the silent air, even the sound of her swallowing tea could be heard.
In between the two of them, on the small coffee table, the box that Jon brought back from the company was quietly placed on top of it, exuding an unusual aura.
That was, the aura that both of them had no clue about.
"You really know how to give me a hard time. If you ask me, it was a mistake to come to you today."
Professor Sprout rubbed her chin and was obviously a little regretful. She said, "But, where did you get this thing?"
"A friend of mine brought it back from the Mediterranean and gave it to me."
Jon replied "truthfully".
"Then what is the origin of this thing?"
"I don't know."
"What about the thing in the box?"
"I don't know."
"Then what did you encounter in the illusion?"
"Uh … Actually, I didn't encounter anything. I just heard a strange song and the projection of a water lily."
"That's why you're so sure that this thing is from ancient Egypt?"
"Yes."
Then, there was another silence.
After a long silence, Professor Sprout finally withdrew her gaze from Jon and looked at the box.
"Actually, I think this thing should be similar to an alchemy item." Jon picked up the box from the coffee table and said, "Do you want to identify it?"
"I'm just a scholar who studies ancient civilizations. Although I've made contributions in literature and pharmaceuticals, I'm not an alchemist." Professor Sprout patted Chown's head. "Why don't you just open it and take a look?"
"That's one way to go about it."
