The scholar Jon was referring to was not a rank, but a profession. However, Professor Sprout could not answer his question.
Although the function of a teacher was to answer questions for students, Jon's question was not within Professor Sprout's scope.
Speaking of which, Jon's life and current situation were much better than what she had experienced in the past.
As a witch, it was actually difficult for her to do any profession other than being a scholar. Although the Muggle society claimed that men and women were equal, in the more ancient and traditional system of the Magic Society, equality between men and women was a joke.
All witches, no matter what status they had in the Magic Society, had earned it with their own abilities. The word "equality" was not related at all.
The reason why Hogwarts was known as a pure land and there were so many female teachers who were willing to stay here to teach and educate was not only because of Dumbledore's personal reasons, but also because teaching knowledge to students would bring them a great sense of achievement.
For these witches, Hogwarts was a very fair place. It judged whether a person could continue to stay in the school as a teacher by testing their ability and character. At the same time, it also provided some protection for the female students.
If they did not become teachers in the school, they might only marry and have children in the outside world and become housewives like Mrs. Weasley.
Indeed, it seemed that there were many female staff members in the Ministry of Magic, but most of these female staff members were unmarried women. They sacrificed the possibility of marriage for their own work. As for those married women, such as Jon's mother, Mrs. Smith, they could only stay in the Ministry of Magic because their family background was strong enough.
If it were not for the prestige that Jon's grandmother, Rowling, had built up in the Ministry of Magic, Jon's mother and aunt would not have been able to get a leisurely and respectable position in the Ministry of Magic.
To put it bluntly, they might not even have this position.
Western societies, whether it was the Muggle society or the Wizard society, were far more harsh to women than Jon imagined. He was lucky to live in a very good family environment, but it did not mean that all societies were like this.
At first, Jon could understand this situation. After all, the population in the West was relatively small, unlike in the East, which had a large population and rich resources. Therefore, in order to increase the population, this was a path that had to be taken. At least on the surface, they did not cut off the possibility of women's work.
However, in order to obtain real freedom in one aspect, they had to give up some things.
That was why Professor Sprout was still unmarried, and so was Professor McGonagall.
Witches obtained status through strength, but even so, they were still very much restricted in the Magic Society.
He was born in a noble family, and judging from the difference between nobles and commoners in the western magic society, a witch like Professor Sprout, who was born in an ordinary family, might be treated even more differently than a commoner.
However, she was now a headmaster of Hogwarts, and she had achieved so much in her academic career that everyone was envious of.
Although she could only sigh when talking about her past, she was much better than those who had done nothing.
"Yes, that's why I never felt that there was anything bad about my past."
Professor Sprout sat on the sofa with a fake smile on his face. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"It's okay to think about these things now. It's all in the past anyway, and there's no room for change, so there's no need to think too much about it. After all, we still have a lot of things to do."
Jon shrugged slightly and gave up looking at Professor Sprout's self-deprecating expression from the corner of his eyes. In fact, he felt that Professor Sprout's self-deprecation was completely unnecessary, but as the professor said, they had a lot of things to do now.
So he began to focus on copying the messy words in his mind, and no longer said these useless words to Professor Sprout.
Anyway, it would not change anything.
After a long time, Jon finally stopped writing. He had used more than half of the new notebook in his hand.
"Okay, professor, I think you can come and take a look now. I copied the words in my mind in order, without missing anything."
Jon flipped through the notebook. Although copying was slow, checking was much faster. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he handed the notebook to Professor Sprout.
Professor Sprout, who was resting with his eyes closed, woke up when he heard Jon's shout. He sat up straight and took the notebook from Jon's hand.
The translation did not take too long. Jon went out and poured two cups of tea for himself and the professor. When he came back, he found that the professor had already used a pen to translate his words.
"How is it? Professor? "
Professor Sprout's expression did not look very good, which made Jon a little worried.
"Ah, you don't have to worry too much, at least this thing is not bad."
Professor Sprout handed the notebook back to Jon.
"Take a look at this."
Jon took the notebook and began to read the translated text that Professor Sprout had written on it.
"This is the Book of the Dead?"
"To be precise, this is the complete version of the Book of the Dead. It's a remnant chapter of the original version of the Book of the Dead, not the translated version we see now."
"Then what's the meaning of this thing? If I need the Book of the Dead, can't I just look at the translated version? "
After all, the Book of the Dead could not really control the dead. It was just a mythological source book from ancient Egypt.
"You underestimate the status of the mythological source book. Even now, the mythological source book of a divine pantheon also has a powerful force that cannot be ignored."
"... So?"
Looking at Jon's puzzled expression, Professor Sprout could only continue to explain.
"The Mythological Origin Codex records the entire process of the creation of the corresponding god system. At the same time, it also includes the various powers that the Divine Equipment possesses. As long as you grasp the origin, you can learn the corresponding powers. And this part of your glove that has been passed down to you is a part of the power that came from Orysses.
We can call it the Kingdom of Severance. "
