The elf restlessly swayed slightly, tennis ball size green eyes stood out even more, "Dobby thinks that since Mr. Harry Potter is already safe ... Dobby has no reason to appear again, especially by himself ... "
Felix followed dobby's logic, "We were just talking, who said that an elf can't have a wizard friend?"
"Is that true? Dobby - Dobby can be friends with a great wizard like you?" The elf made a prayer gesture, and his body leaned forward involuntarily.
"Of course, Dobby."
"This, this is such an honour, Dobby! Dobby is a friend of Mr. Hap!" The elf bowed so deeply that his long, thin nose touched the floor.
"Well, Dobby, let's talk about business, please sit down."
Dobby sat down against the edge of the couch, "Is there anything you would like to ask?"
"Dobby, I don't suppose Lucius Malfoy knows about the destruction of the diary yet?"
Seeing Dobby's expression quickly crumble, and the tendency to hit the wall, Felix hurriedly stopped and said, "Actually, I already knew that he knew nothing about the destruction of the diary."
"How do you know?" Dobby asked curiously.
By your reaction ... but Felix answered, "I have my sources."
Dobby had no doubt about this, but instead nodded with a look of approval.
Felix continued to ask: "Does Malfoy have any travel plans in the near future? I'd love to talk to him alone."
He is prepared to block him.
All it took from him is a Confundus Charm to make him think Dobby isn't doing his job and guide the punishment to 'Expel Dobby', simple and straightforward.
For other House elf, being expelled by their master is a very tragic thing, and they will repeatedly plead for forgiveness. But Dobby is different, he is very eager to be free.
As long as Lucius did this, Dobby would leave Malfoy Manor with absolute joy.
Of course, all this must be hidden from Dobby, lest the instinct of obedience engraved in his bones to make him produce a strong resistance to this behaviour, and things will be directed in an uncontrollable direction.
But Dobby said shoddily, "Dobby, Dobby does not know the master's whereabouts, and Dobby should not reveal ..."
Felix had a bit of a headache, he couldn't stalk him or break into Malfoy Manor, could he?
He played his old trick and said in a tone full of certainty, "Dobby, I actually know, I don't have to go looking for him, Malfoy himself will show up at the door ..."
"How did Mr. Hap know that the master would come to Hogwarts?" Dobby asked in surprise.
So, he would come to Hogwarts? Come to do what, find Dumbledore?
"Of course I knew that he had to come, on that very day ..." Felix said softly in a slower voice.
"Yes, the young master wrote that he would win the Quidditch Cup and defeat Potter, but Dobby thinks that it can't happen." The elf said eccentrically.
So it is Quidditch day, Gryffindor versus Slytherin?
Having got the message he wanted, Felix didn't jump to change the subject, "I think so too, Potter has an extraordinary talent for Quidditch."
"Exactly!" Dobby responded to him excitedly, "Mr. Potter is very good, if Dobby hadn't cast a spell on the Golden Snitch ..."
His mood sagged.
"But nevertheless, I remember that Potter caught the Golden Snitch," Felix said calmly.
"You were also trying to protect Potter, and I suggest you might find time to apologize to Potter and set things straight."
...
A new week has begun.
Ancient rune class.
Felix looked at the sixth graders with a big smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, you have finished the school year ahead of schedule, a very outstanding achievement!"
The male and female wizards offstage applauded.
Their feelings are genuine, and the learning progress this year has indeed been much faster, with Professor Hap offering all sorts of new and interesting ways to learn - golems, classroom competitions, answer space, runic Essays, 'forged' magic handbooks and the latest Leaderboard...
Sixth grade is a special one, they have just gone through a full year of rigorous study, have a rich knowledge base, and don't have to worry about exams, which makes Felix very willing to experiment with all kinds of fresh ideas in the improvement classes.
His approach also proved popular - after going through the OWLs exams they still chose his class, except for a few or two students who had no further options, most of them genuinely loved the ancient rune.
Felix looked at them, "We have about three and a half months until the end of this school year, and we will add a new form of class, a practical class."
A practical class on ancient runes? That is quite a fresh statement.
Before Professor Hap came, this class had been treated as a theoretical course. Only after he came did the crowd realize that there were many practical uses to runes as well.
But Professor Hap himself had said that practical runes were meant to 'increase students' interest' and would not become the mainstream of the course.
"Professor, are you trying to add a part about making golems?" A witch with long curly hair raised her hand and asked a question.
"Miss Clearwater, have you completely repaired your golem?" Felix raised his eyebrows.
"Not yet, Professor."
"Then that's it. When I say practical, I am extracting the most vivid and interesting parts from your possible future careers."
The three dozen students in the classroom looked at each other, Felix's words touching a blind spot in their knowledge.
"Grab your wands and book bags and follow me."
Felix led them to a closed classroom, his finger tapped on the doorknob, and several patterns of runes appeared from thin air with sparks, then quickly disappeared again.
"Click!" The door opened with a crack.
"Adding a few runes subtly to a Locking Spell can effectively resist a regular Unlocking Charm," Felix told them a little trick. "Of course, there's nothing to be done if it's violently broken."
He pushed open the door, and the student who followed closely behind him peered inside.
The room is pitch black, as if all light has been swallowed up, and they are about to take a closer look when a cold wind blows from inside, sending a jolt through their bodies.
As the wind blew by, there were a few faint cries of crows.
"Professor, this is ..." a male wizard asked with some fear, how can this room ... be so creepy?
The room is not a lair of some dark wizard, right?
Professor Hap's calm voice heard, "In 1842, the Ministry of Magic found an ancient wizard's secret house in a swamp, because time had passed too long, the wards expired, and the house manifested by itself."
"At that time, the Ministry of Magic organized a group of people to explore the house and its surroundings, and eventually brought back a number of grimoires."
The students listened quietly, and then they heard Professor Hap say rather proudly, "I looked up a lot of information, and through descriptions and photos, I reproduced the scene at that time."
"This is where we will have our practical lesson, and I hope you will enjoy it."

Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL) by Crazy_Darkside_Cat

The ordinary classroom door seems to separate two worlds.
On one side is a warm and peaceful school, and on the other side is a dark, unknown world with a bitter wind blowing through it now and then ...
The students gazed slightly hesitantly at Professor Hap's face, as if trying to read something, but Felix just looked at them with an encouraging gaze.
Penelope couldn't help but take a gulp, that sound is quite clear, and Percy, who sat two seats away from her, asked, "Professor? There's no danger, is there?"
"What? Oh, of course not ... Why do you think so?" Felix looked at him with surprise as his eyes skimmed over the faces of the rest.
"... I see, don't worry, well, I did add some interesting and mind-blowing surprises, but our class is still going to be ancient rune class, not Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Go ahead, I'll be at the end of the room."
One by one, the male and female wizards walked in, with Felix following behind and closing the classroom door.
"Bang!"
...
In this mysterious space, the light is very dim, which makes it impossible for them to judge the exact size of the space.
Some tiny sounds broke into their ears: the sound of the wind, crows, insects, and some rustling odd rhymes.
More than thirty students cowered together like quails, standing unsure of what to do, seemingly waiting for the professor's instructions, with only seven or eight raising their wands and chanting Lumos, surveying their surroundings with the aid of the light of their magic.
Felix shook his head, and the next second his voice came from the ceiling above -
"Little wizards, you are now the staff of the Ministry of Magic a hundred and fifty years ago, adept at magic runes. The command you received is to examine the surrounding area, remove any danger and bring back any valuable manuscripts."
"You should act like professionals, being cautious, but also never miss a trace, magic manuscripts don't just swagger in front of you, there is no single carrier for knowledge. Believe me, there is much here for you to explore."
"Now, take out your wands and, if necessary, take out the parchment and make a record. I will be watching you all the time."
Then the voice disappeared.
After a short silence ...
"Ahem!" Percy cleared his throat as he raised his wand to attract the attention of the rest of the group, "I think this is the professor's test for us, and we should provide a satisfactory result, and as a grade head, I am willing to lead the group ..."
"There's more than one Head of the Grade here!" A Slytherin student chorused, and in the chaotic chatter, the students quickly divided themselves into four teams according to the house.
Twelve in Ravenclaw, seven in Gryffindor, five in Slytherin, and nine in Hufflepuff.
The three other houses had grade heads, so Hufflepuff selected a male wizard of some prestige, and they gathered around a rock to discuss exactly what to do.
"We should explore the boundaries of this place, it's obvious that the professor has applied an Undetectable Extension Charm, this place can't be this big."
" If I may add, I think we should find the safe house that the professor was talking about and get the manuscript as soon as possible, I don't want to stay here one second longer!"
"You want to split up?"
"No?"
"Guys, we'd better move together."
...
Percy advocated exploring the surroundings first and making a clear division of labour and each doing their own job, while the Slytherin Head of the Grade objected, strongly urging them to find the safe house as fast as possible, "This is the key information provided by the professor!"
The other two houses heads, Penelope, supported Percy, while Hufflepuff suggested that everyone should act together.
Ten minutes passed quietly.
But opinions were never unified, and finally, everyone decided that it would be better to act as a group by houses, and leave one person behind to release a red spark towards the sky every ten breaths, and so on ten times before releasing a green spark, and everyone who saw it quickly returns to share their respective intelligence.
Gryffindor and Ravenclaw went together, and to keep the balance in numbers, Slytherin and Hufflepuff moved together.
"Everyone, chant with me: Lumos!" Percy said.
A light illuminated in the darkness and not far from a similarly bright light that lit up like stars, both sides felt slightly reassured.
They chose a random direction, sullenly moving forward, and they were still cautiously moving at a steady pace, but now and then a crow flew up around them, making a " gah~ gah~" sound, making them feel a little hairy.
They can't help but speed up their pace.
Percy with a little trembling voice asked: "We are still students, certainly will not encounter anything extraordinarily dangerous, at most some small traps or something ..."
Penelope's calm voice remarked, "We're just having a special practical class, which won't take more than two hours maximum."
The mood of the male and female wizards relaxed slightly.
"Wait! What's that over there?" Quidditch Captain Wood asked, pointing up ahead.
"Is that a mound of rocks?" Percy squinted his eyes to look further ahead.
"No, it's, it's a tombstone!" Wood's words trailed off.
In the shadows, rows of tombstones that were even darker than the night stood tall.
After a brief panic, they pushed out five people, to go over and take a look.
"Don't worry, there's no danger," Percy said in a very unconvincing tone.
The group of five carefully explored toward the cluster of gravestones, their feet trod on the loose dirt, occasionally making the sound of snapping branches, and in the silence, Percy suddenly blurted out, "Penelope, you should have stayed behind."
"I'm the Head Girl!" Penelope retorted.
"But ..."
"Oh, come on, you two," the lanky Wood snapped back, "you have to pick your time to have a lovers' quarrel, and we're in the middle of something."
"Who, who, said we are a couple?" The two stared at him with jaws agape.
"I'm not dumb ...," Wood muttered.
Percy and Penelope instantly quieted down, and even the sudden sound of frogs didn't seem so intimidating.
In a slightly awkward atmosphere, they walked into this cluster of tombstones.
"Look here!" Wood pointed to a tombstone and said, " There is some rune on it that seems to say--" His voice trembled.
"What is it?" Percy held up his wand and looked over.
"... I, we're waiting for you here ...," Wood swallowed.
" Gulp!"
Right at that moment, they heard a strange noise, and something poked out of the dirt in front of the tombstone where Wood stood by.
Percy's eyes widened, it IS A HAND!
"Run, Wood!" He raised his hand to make a smashing spell.
Wood jumped swiftly out of the way with a crunching sound behind him, and when he looked back, a white bone arm scattered into pieces.
"Ahhhhh!" Penelope let out a shriek as something grabbed her ankle and she struggled to break free, a ghastly white hand dangling around her ankle.
"Penelope!"
Percy shouted, and then dumbfounded to see, Penelope ran away a few steps, gritted her teeth, and released a series of "Eradication Spell", "Incendio" in a direction, the intense light illuminated a corner of the tombstone cluster, under the effect of the magic spell, the ground exploded with a big crater.
After almost thirty seconds -
A group of people came panting, looking at the scene in confusion: Percy and Penelope kissing, the other two wizards looking away awkwardly, and Wood kicking a skeleton with a disgusted face further away with an arm missing.
The skeleton also looked strange, about half a man high, short limbs, but the head is particularly large, nearly occupying half of the body.
The big-headed skeleton's mouth is grinning exaggeratedly, anthropomorphically emitting a "woo-woo-woo-woo~" sound, clumsily trying to get up from the ground.

Penelope's face flushed as Percy grinned and smirked.
The Gryffindors were buzzing with excitement, a few male wizards from Ravenclaw looked at Percy with unkind eyes, as if he had taken a prized treasure from them, and a few girls whispered on the other side.
"Wood, what's this?" A Gryffindor student pointed at the small skeleton wobbling and struggling to get up from the ground; it certainly is not intimidating at all.
"A 'surprise' as Professor Hap calls it." Wood said, a little depressed that, he had been scared.
The freckled male wizard next to him added, "They don't have any offensive power, except the way they appear is a bit scary ..."
As he spoke, a Ravenclaw girl looked down and saw a ghastly white bony hand fondling her shoe, "Aaaaaah!" She let out an exaggerated scream as Wood stepped forward and crushed the bone with one foot, he shrugged and said to the rest, "Look, it's this sort of thing."
He then looked at the girl, "You're standing a little to the side, and that area doesn't seem to have been cleared."
The girl thanked him with a red face.
"Besides these funny little skeletons, did anyone else find something?" Someone asked.
"The tombstone," Percy said, playing it cool, "has a magic rune on it, which I think is an important clue."
Someone suggested, "Why don't we start by deciphering the magic rune here?"
"Good idea!"
A dozen young wizards spread out, each responsible for two or three tombstones, and they took out the parchment from their book bags and transcribed the magic rune on them.
During that period, the little skeletons buried in the dirt sensed the approach of the strangers and poked their hands out of the ground to try to intimidate them. But this time the students were already prepared and easily avoided their attacks.
A few bold ones simply let the little skeletons crawl out and let them scratch their thighs with their slender bones, while freely transcribing the magic rune on the tombstones.
During this process, every minute or two, a fiery red spark would rise in the distance.
Percy, Penelope, and the rest finished their tasks early, and they looked over each other's deciphered runes and compared them to the patterns on the tombstones.
"Look here--"
Penelope pointed to the numbers on the two black stone tombstones one after the other nearby, "These two are adjacent numbers, the first one says 'Visitors found that the safe room to be tightly protected by four enchanted barriers.' And this one reads, 'In the direction directly to the south, there exist numerous shadowy deceased.'"
She said enthusiastically, "The shadowy deceased would correspond to the cluster of tombstones we're in, and all we have to do is head north to find the safe room!"
"Penelope, you're always so smart." Percy complimented.
Penelope grunted, "It looks like Professor Hap has taken a whole story apart and put it on each tombstone, all we have to do is put it together."
"Hey, guys! Don't forget to copy the tombstone numbers, they're going to be of great use." Percy turned around and shouted.
Finally, a green spark appeared in the distance, halfway up in the air.
"We're going back the way we came, have you all copied it?" After receiving an affirmative response, they hurriedly headed back.
This time, it took them almost two minutes to return to their original location.
The male wizard who stayed behind looked a little pale, "You guys finally came back, I kept feeling someone blowing at my neck from behind ..."
"Tough job, Deles."
After another half minute, the Slytherin and Hufflepuff students returned, and the Slytherin grade head said condescendingly, "We found the safe room, and if it weren't for time constraints, we would have cracked the enchantment on it ..."
"We made an important discovery, too," Percy argued.
"But those are irrelevant, aren't they?"
Percy turned red and tried to say something, but Penelope pulled him back in a hurry, and Percy said angrily, "Look what he said!"
Wood pulled over a Hufflepuff student, "Grover, what's going on?"
Grover said, "It took us almost three minutes to find the safe room, but it is blocked by the magic at the door."
"What kind of magic?"
" Puzzle!" Grover said, "The Slytherin students were all wide-eyed and had absolutely no idea how to play."
So the group moved to the safe room -
It is a somewhat misshapen square house, the surface is painted dark brown, from a distance looks like a large stone, it is easy to be ignored.
The Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw wizards came forward, and on each of the four walls of the house, there were four nine-sheet grids, with the last spot being empty.
"If you tap on it with your wands, like this, the grid will move." Grover introduced to the others, "There is a magic rune in each grid, and it looks like we are told to form the proper order to connect it into a sentence."
"Wouldn't that be easy, it's just eight runes in total," Percy asked.
"No, Percy, see for yourself." The Hufflepuff student said.
Percy carefully discerned, and he suddenly found that he did not recognize any of them ...
For a moment, Percy somewhat dazed, who am I? Where am I? And I do not know the runes?
If you don't recognize one, it's okay, but you can't recognize all eight?
Wood next to him muttered: "It's just a guess, isn't it? Look at this word, I bet it has something to do with the meaning of 'light'."
Several of the top students in the room instantly snapped back, "That's right, the difficulty of this would have been beyond our ability, the professor is hoping we can identify and speculate on the meaning of the word."
Understanding the true intent of the puzzle, the students looked at each other, "One house is responsible for one wall?"
Percy glanced at the Slytherin grade head and said, "Sure."
Twenty minutes passed ...
The young wizards gathered together with ashen faces, "No way! It's too hard!"
"Cooperate, Geoffrey." Penelope said calmly, then she looked at the Slytherin head boy, "That's what the Professor intended."
The Slytherin head boy muttered something that no one else heard, and everyone pretended that he acquiesced.
The Four Houses students sat under a nine-grid puzzle, looked at the magic runes on it, and discussed it enthusiastically -
"Doesn't the first word look a bit like Perth?" said a male wizard.
"I do think the shape resembles Wyn, see the horns poking out of its edges?"
"Wait, I think I've seen a similar rune somewhere, very much like ..." said a Hufflepuff witch in a sharp voice: "Yes, it was mentioned in a reference book in a fourth-year textbook, and I happened to have brought the notes."
"Found it!" She quickly flipped through her notes, then looked up and spoke dramatically as everyone watched, "The word is quite old, and it's synonymous with 'wisdom'."
Even though they had only deciphered an eighth of the first ninth grid, they couldn't help but get excited.
Next, with a similar train of thought, eight runes were deciphered in succession -
Penelope snapped her fingers and said, "Wisdom, excellence without equal, equal or similar, extreme or ultimate, exaggerated, wealthy or plentiful, possessed or contained,"
She looked up, "What do you think it is?"

Chapter 145 Practical Lessons (3) – Key
Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL) by Crazy_Darkside_Cat

All the Ravenclaw students laughed.
One of the girls said, without thinking, "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
They quickly arranged it in the correct order, and in a blinding light, the runes on it disappeared and were replaced by a string of gorgeous, flowing text in English glittering on the wall: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
"That's right! That's it, this wall obviously represents Ravenclaw, and those other three walls ..." Percy said excitedly.
"Representing the other three houses!"
Everyone thought of that.
Guided by this thinking, the runes on the other three walls were deciphered one by one -
"Daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart." This is a famous quote from Godric Gryffindor.
"Tough, honest, upright, and loyal." That's what people say about Hufflepuff.
"With honour, with might to keep it all." These are the famous words of a famous Slytherin wizard in history.
On the four walls, four lines of writing glowed, and everyone subconsciously held their breath, and sure enough, the writing on the walls disappeared.
In the darkness, only the light from their wands served as a source of light, and the not-so-bright light illuminated their excited faces.
A plain door appeared, as if it had always been there, and the students walked in.
Inside there is only a table, and on the table is a manuscript, entitled: "An Important Manuscript".
Geoffrey flipped over the first page, and it read, "Collect four keys to exit this place." Other than that, it is blank.
He "snorted", "we still need the key? Just push open the door and get out ..." he suddenly stopped talking, seemingly choked on his saliva. A layer of sweat quickly broke out on his face, "I, can we still find the door to the classroom?"
Facing each other, Percy said through the air, "Professor Hap ... are you there, Professor Hap?"
There is no response.
"Looks like we have to gather the keys." Wood scratched his head, "But where are they?"
"East, West, South, and North, of course, remember the runes we saw in the graveyard?" Percy said to Penelope.
"You mean ... that story!"
"That's right." Percy said aloud, the tip of his nose slightly red from excitement, "The runes on the tombstones recorded information about this place, but there was actually one more thing, which is about keys."
With that, the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students took out the parchments they had recorded earlier and arranged them as required.
"I have 3-1 here, who has 3-2 in their hands?"
"I'm ahead of you in line, I'm 1-7."
They glued the parchments to the wall in order and carefully examined them: "Obviously, ten is one group, four groups in total."
"The first group gives the background of that operation in 1842, pretty much the same as Professor Hap said ..."
"It doesn't matter," Geoffrey said.
Percy rolled his eyes and continued, "The second group described the topography of the place, a very simple southeast-northwest section, plus a central safe house."
"The third and fourth groups were problems the Ministry of Magic staff encountered at the time, oh, and although the concealment ward failed, the other wards were still in operation, see here, one of the defences was a horde of shadowy deceased bodies, the little skeletons we met ..."
"That's wicked! How come the Ministry of Magic at that time didn't arrest him?"
"Oh, I think it might be because they haven't even had a chance to set up the Ministry of Magic at the time..."
...
"What were the other defences?"
"Lethifold, Gargoyles, and a Devil's Snare," Percy said as he pointed at the runes on it.
"Good~ It looks like we're dealing with similar stuff," Wood said, "The corpse corresponds to a small skeleton, and it looks like there are similar alternatives elsewhere, but what I'm wondering is, what's a Lethifold?"
" Fairly rare magical creature that looks like a black cloak, glides close to the ground and hunts at night. Some say they're close relatives to Dementors, and in addition to their similarity in looks, they're both restrained by Patronus charm." Percy said.
"Is there anyone here who knows the Patronus charm?" Wood asked.
No one raised their hands.
Percy told the half-truth: "That's not part of the test, Wood. No one would go the extra mile and spend a lot of time learning a powerful spell they can't use."
Penelope recalled, "Dean Thomas mentioned this spell in class, and I tried it a few times, and there was just some white mist come from the wand. If someone instructs ..."
"But the Lethifold is quite a dangerous creature, the professor won't let us deal with it, and I guess we'll bump into the crow's lair then?" Percy speculated, but he believed it to be eight or nine out of ten to be right.
"Enough small talk, where shall we start?" Geoffrey said.
" Graveyard, we know it best, and we can save time."
"Very well."
They walked out of the safe house and Percy placed his wand flat in the palm of his hand and whispered to it, "Point me."
The wand spun and indicated his right-hand side, where North is.
"So we're going to go in the opposite direction, and we'll be back to the tomb," Percy said to everyone.
They returned to the graveyard again, and the Slytherin and Hufflepuff students gestured and tsked at the dark tombstones.
"Look, the skeletal bones are turning into stone." Wood warned.
The Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students found that all the small skeletons that were scattered all over the ground had turned into broken stones.
"A very clever transfiguration, we didn't notice it at all at that time." A male wizard picked up a stone and took a closer look at it.
A Ravenclaw girl said sadly, "I even hugged it, it looked so cute."
Percy looked at her with a grimace as he pulled Penelope and whispered, "She's always been like this?"
"She's an avid lover of golems," Penelope explained.
"Well, let's all split up and look for it, it shouldn't be too hard ..."
After seven or eight minutes, one of the Hufflepuff students found a golden key in a stone.
"Where did you find that?"
He pointed to the broken stone not far away, Wood's eyes widened, "That's the little skeleton that attacked me, I purposely left it there! I didn't realize the key is hidden in its head."
"Very good, we finished a quarter of the work, let's keep up the good work ..." Percy just wanted to encourage with a couple of words, Slytherin's head boy came over holding a box.
"What is this?"
"A treasure map," Geoffrey said.
"How did this get there?" Percy's mind messed up as the students gathered around and looked at the map in the box.
The markings on it were simple, a drawing of a bottle to the southeast of the safe house, next to it there's a rune representing wealth.
Just then, a muffled thunder-like voice came from the sky -
"Looks like you guys had a good time ... but I regret to inform you that this journey of surprise is over, for now, take your things and follow the directions to get out of here."
An arrow appeared at their feet.
Ten minutes later, they re-entered the ancient rune classroom, with expressions of bewilderment and trance still on their faces.
"It's over just like that? Isn't the key still not collected?"
On the podium, Felix smiled at them, "Class ends in a few minutes, and I had to interrupt this adventure to avoid you being late. But there's no need to worry-"
"You will all be there for the rest of this school year. In addition to the task of collecting the four keys, you will encounter many other small, strange, simple, and interesting tasks ..."
"Like that treasure map?"
"That's right, Geoffrey." Felix said, "The assignment for this class is to parse the runes you encounter and complete a paper no less than a foot long."
