Chapter 1078: something wrong

To some extent, the magic of wizards is the accumulation of knowledge, just like the science of Muggles.
It is often said that knowledge is wealth.
Since ancient times, the growth of every wizard is inseparable from the provision of knowledge. No matter the level of talent, only by drawing on the strength of predecessors can we move forward.
However, not everyone is willing to share their valuable knowledge.
Not to mention that the number of ancient wizards was far less than it is now. Even in modern times, the transmission of knowledge is still full of obstacles. Throughout the global magic world, there are very few places where semi-public libraries can be set up, and even some magic schools have banned borrowing of books by students other than teachers and students.
As for the storefronts like Diagon Alley Lichen Bookstore-they sell basically textbooks and ordinary publications, and it's hard to find magic books that really carry important content from there.
If you are looking for some magic books to buy, you might as well go to a thrift store to see if you can get a better chance.
So, where are the truly valuable magic books?
Undoubtedly, in addition to the organizations or forces that have both the founder's contribution and the collection of generations of professors who pay attention to collections like Hogwarts, I am afraid that only those large families with a long history will treasure it.
It's a pity that if we want the offspring of the blessed family to take the book out and share it with others, it might be harder to accept than kill them!
"... However, this time Bartti really did."
Maca took Hermione and others, followed the little guy who was leading the way, and looked along the way.
Although the name of this bookstore sounds extraordinarily ordinary, the storefront will even make people feel a bit "rude." But once you walk in, you can immediately feel the beauty of being in the sea of ​​knowledge.
Unlike the unattractive facade on the outside, the head is stretched without traces, and it seems that the space is at least several times larger than everyone expected.
And in this huge interior space, there are already shelves full of books, rows and rows continue to the depths.
Maca was thinking that this time, Old Batty probably moved most of the books stored in the ancient Crouch family.
Probably the scene in the library was so amazing that Ron, who had been spitting outside just now, couldn't help closing his mouth.
After a while, Maca and the other five followed the little girl in her early ten years to the deepest part of the library. When everyone saw a large counter table, they saw the little girl rushing towards it.
"Grandpa! Someone said it came to see you-"
In fact, needless to say, the old man who was wearing a pair of gold-glasses and looked down to read a book had already raised his head. When he realized that it was Maca who was heading towards him, he could not help but stood up.
"Mr. McLean!" Old Batty took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and set aside, surprisedly, "I just wrote you a letter. I didn't expect you to come so soon-I know you must be busy Obviously it's just setting up a library. Anytime you come! "
I remember when I saw the old Batty in the principal's room last time, although his hair had been grayed out, it was far less than it is now. Apparently, the death of his son, Batty, made him much older.
"Because it's the same for coming early and late, so I come to see whenever I have time." Maca said with a smile, "For me, nothing is more tempting than knowledge!"
After shaking hands with Old Batty across the table, Maca turned to introduce him again:
"These are the students of Hogwarts-Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Hannah Abbott, and Hermione Granger, who likes books very much like you and me Miss. "
The reason why he used the "like you and me" to describe is precisely because he already knew the old Batty.
He knew that this senior official who had held several directorships in the Ministry of Magic was not only proficient in many languages, but also had a good magic power.
At first, if it was his own son who had dealt with him, I was afraid that it would be difficult for ordinary people to take him down.
And this majestic old man, like his son Barty, usually likes reading.
"Come, please sit down! All come here to sit ..."
At the invitation of old Batty's enthusiasm, Maca and others followed him to the sitting area not far away and sat down. Seeing that the little girl was always with her, Maca smiled:
"Mr. Crouch, are you going to start small and let Muggle try to live in the magic world ... don't you worry, the Ministry of Magic is here to trouble you?"
Old Barty adopted a Muggle orphan, which obviously could not tell others casually. Maca also learned about it after receiving his letter.
But to say that such a bold act by Old Barty is undoubtedly a violation of certain regulations in the International Secret Law.
"Someone has to try it, hasn't it?"
After asking the domestic elf to send some tea, Old Barty smiled indifferently:
"Although I resigned from the Ministry of Magic, the relationship that I left when I was working before has not been cut off ... Besides, I am just an ordinary citizen now. Those guys who looked at me at first didn't agree with me. Now I guess You don't even have to look at me! "
"Well, I hope your attempts will go well!" Maca nodded. "I also hope that this child can live happily in the magic world-Muggles and wizards will resume living together. This is bound to be a trend in the future, at least I don't think you are wrong. "
What Maca thought was more than that.
Earlier the Queen of England and the old bishop had considered this matter again and again, it is clear that their vision is equally long-term.
However, their ideas were so radical that Maca decisively rejected the invitation.
In comparison, Barty's approach is obviously more euphemistic. Even if he fails in the end, he is the last heir of the Crouch family, and there will be no unbearable losses.
"If this child encounters any difficulties in the future, you can always come to me and I will help as much as I can."
After thinking a little, Maca looked at the young girl standing behind the old Barty sofa, smiling and giving such a promise.
Of course the child couldn't understand much, but the old Batty could understand the preciousness of Maca's promise-the future of this young man is almost limitless.
"Thank you, Mr. McLean!"
Old Barty turned around and patted his granddaughter's arm with a slight urge. The little girl was very obedient, and when she saw her grandfather let her thank him, she thanked Maca without saying a word.
Then, old Barty replied jokingly and authentically:
"Mr. McLean, don't forget, I also adopted a boy!"
Maca heard the words and shrugged with a smile:
"Of course, both children are--you can come to me if you have trouble that you can't solve in the future."
After that, the two casually talked about some topics in the current British magic world, and even Hermione followed their thoughts and published their own opinions, which got them unanimous praise.
Ron, because they didn't care much about current affairs, they were as boring as they were boring, but they were really embarrassed to leave, and they were so uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Maca didn't come here purely to talk to old Batty. After he offered to take a turn in this "bookstore", Ron and the three of them were finally relieved.
A short while later, between the pile of bookshelves, Maca took Hermione and others to wander around with interest.
Honestly, it is indeed a collection of books moved from Crouch's house. Even if none of the most valuable or magic books about black magic comes, ordinary ordinary books are enough to surprise people.
Therefore, not only are they here, but also many adult wizards are wandering around.
It's just ... Of course, the library here is absolutely incomparable with Hogwarts' library.
A few of them have been used to the school library, which has a rich collection of books, and they just came here to find out if there are any books and materials that they have not seen before.
When five people were looking at a few books in the aisle of two rows of bookshelves, Hermione suddenly wondered:
"Maca, why do you seem to be familiar with Mr. Crouch? Do you have any friendship before?"
"friendship?"
When Maca heard that, she kept turning her hand slightly, then shook her head.
"Nothing special ... well, it happened to save his life for his son!"
He said this very lightly, and did not continue to explain anything after saying this, but handed the book in front of Hermione.
When Maca said that the book might be suitable for her to read, Hermione didn't follow up.
After all, from Hermione's point of view, Maca saved an individual or something, which seems to be the most common thing ~ EbookFREE.me ~ For so many years, the number of people he saved has been countless.
So, about half an hour passed.
Maca greeted everyone to speak with the old Batty, and then they walked out of the newly opened "Bookstore" on Diagon Alley and strolled around a bit.
After the big guys have played enough and tired, dinner time is almost around.
But when Maca took the four of them to the broken cauldron bar for dinner, Hermione and others found that there were already a few familiar figures waiting for their arrival.
"Maca, have you seen Old Barty?"
"Well, Sirius," Maca smiled at Hermione next to her, then bluntly said, "Although it's not the same as Lupin's estimate, there is a problem ..."
