s Professor Kirk is definitely not unfamiliar with the Lord of the Rings. It was because of this magical ring that he was able to appreciate the charm of the other world.
His uncle Andrew is a magician.
Mentioning the Lord of the Rings again, Professor Kirk recalled with reminiscence: "I was very young at that time. At first, I lived in the countryside with my mother, and my father was far away in India. Later, my mother fell ill and was seriously ill. She was about to die. In order to take care of me and my mother's illness, we moved from the countryside to London. I lived with my crazy uncle Andrew and aunt, and here I met Polly."
He took a sip of coffee, quietly sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "At that time, we played the 'exploration game' every day, just like the description of "Treasure Island". From the small door in the attic storage room, we went into a dark path along the water tank. We called it the 'smuggler's cave'. It was on that day that we discovered the secret of Uncle Andrew..."
...
"I want to know how long this tunnel is? Does it really only go to the side of your house?" Diggory asked.
Polly replied, "I don't know how long the tunnel is, but it certainly doesn't stop at the roof."
"Ah, then we can go through the whole row of houses!"
"Yes!" Polly said affirmatively, "Oh!"
"How?"
"We can go to other people's houses!"
"Then we'll be caught as thieves, and that's no joke."
"Not what you think, I only think of the house next door to yours."
...
The drafty and dark tunnel was filled with dust, and the two children stepped on the rafters and moved forward quietly, occasionally whispering in each other's ears: "Look, we're on top of your attic." Or, "Ha, we're in the center of my house." Fortunately, the two never fell, and the candle never went out. They came to a wall with a small door and stopped there. There was
no handle or latch on this side of the door. It was obviously designed only to allow people to walk in but not out. There was a hook on the door, as is common on wardrobes, and the two tried to open it.
Digory asked, "Should I open it?"
Polly replied, "I'll support you as long as you want to," just as she had said before. They knew they were at a critical moment, but no one was willing to retreat. Digory struggled and finally opened the door.
At that moment, the sunlight made them blink. They followed the light and were surprised to find that this was not an abandoned attic, but a well-organized house, but it was filled with a sense of emptiness. Curiosity drove Polly to move forward step by step. She blew out the candle and walked into this room full of strange atmosphere. Her footsteps were lighter than those of a mouse.
...
The room looked very much like a living room, but from the structure, it was indeed an attic. The walls were full of shelves, which were filled with books.
This summer was indeed cold, and the fireplace was still burning with a warm flame. The high-backed armchair was facing away from the two children. There was a large table between Polly and the armchair, which was piled with various things, such as books, pens, ink bottles, notebooks and a microscope.
The first thing that caught Polly's eye was a wooden tray, which was shining with a red luster and had several rings on it. They were placed in pairs, with the yellow ring and the green ring close together. They looked no different in size from ordinary rings, but they were unusually bright and sparkling with unimaginable beautiful light. If Polly were younger than she is now, she would have mistaken it for candy and put it in her mouth.
...
"The beautiful ring attracted Polly and me. It seemed as if there was a voice constantly calling us to put on the ring. At this time, Uncle Andrew appeared. He looked more frightening and weird than before. He tempted Polly to put on the yellow ring, and after Polly touched the ring, she suddenly disappeared in front of us. In order to save Polly and take him home, Uncle Andrew began to seduce me again. He explained to me that this matter was all to verify his experiment, and the results of the experiment showed that Uncle Andrew succeeded."
Jiang Ning asked, "Then may I ask, where did your uncle get the raw materials for the ring?"
Professor Kirk said, "Uncle Andrew told me that his godmother, old Lady Leffi, was one of the few people in this country with 'immortal blood'. She once gave Uncle Andrew a box and told him that once she died, Uncle Andrew would... Uncle Lu burned the box in a ritual. Obviously, Uncle Andrew did not listen to his godmother. Instead, he tried to study and open the box. Uncle Andrew said that the origin of this box was not from ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India or even ancient China. It was not from ancient Greece or Hittite. This box came from Atlantis, an island country in the Atlantic Ocean. "
After saying so much, Professor Kirk felt a little dry in the mouth. He drank a sip of coffee to moisten his throat. He said again: "The box came from Atlantis, which means it is older than the stone tools unearthed in Europe. Uncle Andrew went through many experiments and opened the box when his hair turned white. The box contained something from another world, which was soil. Fine and clean soil. Because it involved the universe of another world, Uncle did not touch it rashly. Instead, after experiments, he made the soil into a ring..."
...
After saying so much nonsense, Jiang Ning's real purpose was to find out the whereabouts of those magic rings. Because the magic rings could take him to a transit station! And that transit station could allow him to go to another world, which was very important to Jiang Ning.
"So, where are the magic rings? Are they with you?" Jiang Ning asked anxiously.
Professor Kirk looked at Jiang Ning deeply and said, "The rings are indeed still with me, and I have kept them intact. Young man, although I don't know why you are looking for the rings. But I also know that I have no ability to stop you. But, I have a request!"
"You say!"
"I hope that after you get these rings, you will not use them to do bad things. Just like I did back then..." Professor Kirk felt a little unnatural when he said this. After all, he still regretted bringing Jadis to Narnia.
"Please rest assured, I'm looking for the ring because I have something very important to do. This is very important to me and it concerns my future. I promise not to make the same mistake as you, and I will never bring other evil people to another world." Jiang Ning promised.
"I believe in Aslan's vision, young man!" After saying that, Professor Kirk stood up, searched through boxes and cabinets, and finally took out a dusty box.
He blew the dust off the box and opened it carefully. There were two rings in the box. One yellow ring and one green ring. Professor Kirk said: "Putting on the yellow ring can take you to another world. Putting on the green ring can bring you back safely. Putting on the yellow ring will make you appear in a forest with pools of water. Each pool of water represents a world! You only need to jump into the pool to reach another world. And when you want to come back, you only need to put on the green ring to come back."
Jiang Ning took the box and looked at the two rings placed inside, and his heart was excited. With this, it will be much easier to go to any world in the future, and there will be no need to work hard to find items containing coordinates of other worlds.
"Thank you very much, professor! Thank you for choosing to believe me." Jiang Ning was sincerely grateful to Professor Kirk.
Professor Kirk smiled and said, "I believe that Aslan and Peter's vision can stand shoulder to shoulder with justice, defeat evil, and bring peace to Narnia. And the king canonized by Aslan must not be an evil person."
Jiang Ning was a little speechless. After all, in Europe or America at this time, the status of Chinese people is still very embarrassing, even worse than that of black people. Professor Kirk may not mean to be generally discriminated against, but he still expressed this discrimination unintentionally.
Jiang Ning heard it from the tone of his words when he talked about Aslan, Peter, Edmund and others.
Soon, Jiang Ning drove these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind. He didn't care about these. Compared with his own future, why bother with mortals? After
getting what he wanted, Jiang Ning said goodbye and left, and Professor Kirk personally sent him to the door. In his shocked eyes, he saw Jiang Ning soaring into the sky and flying towards London. Just like when he saw Aslan create the world...
