141- The Greengrass family discovered another treasure?

    The text in the booklet was somewhat difficult to understand, but fortunately, it didn''t disappear after appearing.

    Daphne carefully copied the words onto a piece of parchment and, with the help of a dictionary, gradually translated them.

    Detailed Explanation of Spatial Magic (Part 1) wasn''t very long, only about a thousand words, but it introduced the concept of spatial magic to Daphne.

    Like other forms of magic, spatial magic originated from the stars. However, unlike regular magic, even the four founders hadn''t found a reasonable explanation for it.

    While other types of magic could be traced back to corresponding elements on Earth, the element associated with space had never been discovered.

    As a result, wizards had always been in a state of "knowing how but not why" when it came to spatial magic. They could use it, much like they could work with magical creatures, but they didn''t truly understand it.

    After discussing with her friend Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw proposed a hypothesis: just as every object has its shadow, so too might Earth have a "shadow." The power behind spatial magic, she speculated, came from this shadow. Spells like the Undetectable Extension Charm and Apparition, she suggested, borrowed a fragment of space from this shadow.

    Those seemingly extra spaces actually existed within the shadow, and Apparition involved traveling through this shadow.

    Of course, this was just a theory and had never been proven. Ravenclaw included it at the beginning of the Explanation (Part 1) to help readers better understand this wondrous form of magic.

    The booklet then briefly introduced how to "borrow" a piece of space from the shadow. At the end of the chapter, it presented a simple task: to modify one''s lunchbox, so that a palm-sized box could hold enough food to feed a knight.

    Daphne read this with thoughtful consideration.

    At that moment, Rhys appeared in front of Daphne''s desk.

    He noticed that she was deeply engrossed in studying the booklet that Ravenclaw had given her, and from the looks of it, she was making significant progress, which was a good thing.

    However, today''s focus wasn''t on that. Rhys gently knocked on Daphne''s desk, pulling her out of her thoughts.

    "I need you to help me with something," he said.

    "What is it?" Daphne set the booklet and her notes aside.

    "I need you to hand this over to your father and have him release it publicly—tell him you found this hidden in the corner of the Greengrass family''s warehouse," Rhys said, placing an ancient-looking scroll in front of Daphne.

    "What is this?"

    He was offering the Greengrass family this chance for glory, but in return, they needed to fully commit to spreading the spell as quickly as possible.

    Rhys'' words convinced Daphne, and her eyes welled up with emotion. She realized that the debt she owed Rhys was growing even harder to repay.

    After handing Daphne the freshly forged "ancestral scroll," Rhys was about to leave when she stopped him.

    "Wait a moment, I found this article from the booklet Lady Ravenclaw gave me." Daphne eagerly handed Rhys her carefully transcribed and translated notes.

    She felt Rhys might not know these things, so she considered it a small repayment, a bit of interest on the debt she owed him.

    Rhys took Daphne''s notes and frowned.

    After reading just three lines, he found five translation errors and two grammatical mistakes!

    "Wait a moment," Rhys said, seriously examining Daphne''s translation notes.

    Seeing Rhys reviewing her notes so intently, Daphne felt a surge of joy in her heart: finally, she could be of help to him!

    Wait... why was he picking up a quill?

    The next second, Rhys dipped the quill into the ink and began quickly marking corrections on Daphne''s translation.

    In no time, the parchment was covered with circles, dots, and annotations.

    "Here, this is the correct translation. I have something else to attend to, but study what''s taught here carefully; it''s very useful knowledge. If there''s anything you don''t understand, feel free to ask me anytime. By the way, I expect you to have a proper enchanted lunchbox ready by next Monday," Rhys said as he reached the door of the common room.

    Turning back, he gave Daphne a small smile, "Also, you really need to work on your Latin. There are many good resources in the library. I''ve listed a few on the bottom of the parchment. Take a look when you have time."

    Daphne: "..."

    She was utterly stunned.
