Wisdom of the Sages

"Huh? Run into it? Are you sure?"

Harry sounded a bit incredulous at this suggestion.

He was clearly hesitant.

Devero, however, was brimming with confidence.

"Harry, trust me. We're classmates, why would I lie to you or use you? Just focus and run straight into it!"

Hearing his words, Harry seemed to let his guard down a little.

An eleven-year-old boy with blonde hair and a toad on his shoulder.

How could he be anything other than a young wizard... right?

He took a deep breath.

Following Devero's instructions.

He charged headlong toward the stone pillar!

Thud!

Unexpectedly.

Harry slammed directly into the stone pillar.

He tumbled over, landing in a heap.

Devero was stunned as well.

"Huh? No way, Dobby shouldn't have come here to cast a spell yet this year, right?"

Then, he saw a noisy family with red hair.

Walking past them.

"Mom, I need to go to the prefect's carriage, so..."

A tall, red-haired boy said.

"Oh! Percy, so you're a prefect? How come we didn't know?!"

A pair of twins said sarcastically.

"Mom, can't I really go on the train?"

A little girl tugged at her mother's hand, pleading.

"No, Ginny, you're still too young."

The lady shook her head firmly.

Only then did Devero realize.

Uh.

It seemed he had miscounted.

It wasn't this pillar.

Devero hurried forward to help up the disgruntled Harry.

"Uh, sorry Potter, I think I miscounted the pillars. It should be that one over there."

As he spoke, he hurriedly helped Harry gather his scattered luggage.

However, Devero did feel that his idea of letting Harry test it out first was correct.

Otherwise, he didn't have a luggage trolley like the other young wizards.

He would have been the one slamming straight into the wall.

It would be terrible if he ruined his face.

After tidying up the luggage.

Devero brought the skeptical Harry to another stone pillar.

Clearly, Harry no longer trusted Devero very much.

"Don't worry, this time it's definitely the right one."

Devero tried to soothe Harry's nerves.

"Look, the children from that family are all heading this way."

Just as they were speaking.

A group of red-haired children rushed toward the stone wall one after another.

Each of them passed through the pillar smoothly.

And vanished into the stone wall.

Seeing this scene.

The doubts in Harry's heart finally eased a little.

"Oh, dears, were you waiting for us? You can go in now."

After the youngest boy with freckles on his face had also dashed into the wall, the slightly plump woman in front of the two turned around and saw them waiting.

She spoke to them kindly, her face beaming with a warm smile as she stepped aside to let them enter the station first.

Devero nodded with a smile and said politely, "Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. It's our first time going to Hogwarts, so we aren't very familiar with the way. Haha, I almost ran into a different pillar just a moment ago."

"Almost? I actually did run into one!" Harry interjected indignantly, a trace of lingering anger still on his face.

With Mrs. Weasley's help, Harry took a deep breath and summoned his courage to charge toward the stone pillar. This time, he finally succeeded in passing through and entered Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

After thanking Mrs. Weasley, Devero followed suit and dashed into the stone pillar.

Watching Devero's disappearing back, Mrs. Weasley suddenly realized something. "Why didn't that child have any luggage?" she muttered to herself, her brows knitting slightly.

"Wow, is this the wizard station platform?" Devero felt as if he had passed through a layer of water, yet his body remained completely dry as he arrived in a space entirely different from the one before.

Many people here were wearing traditional wizard robes, giving Devero the illusion that he had returned to Diagon Alley. Of course, most were still dressed in Muggle clothing; after all, parents coming to drop off their children still had to pass through the Muggle station, and in accordance with laws regarding the protection of Muggles, they kept their attire as close to Muggle life as possible.

As Devero looked left and right, trying to find where Harry was while frantically loading the entries from the passersby, a sound rang out.

[Ding!]

[Wizard Secret Realm discovered, exploration function triggered!]

[Current Wizard Secret Realm: London Wizard Station!]

[Exploration progress: 1.1%]

Devero was stunned for a moment. He truly hadn't expected this station to count as a Wizard Secret Realm! But then again, it made sense; it had likely been transporting Hogwarts students since the Industrial Revolution two hundred years ago, so its history was quite extensive.

Thinking of this, Devero grew excited. This station was completely different from Diagon Alley!

The space here was only so large, and there wasn't a Knockturn Alley to suppress his exploration progress!

In other words.

He might be able to max out his exploration progress directly today!

Devero looked around.

The platform was bustling with activity.

All sorts of people moved to and fro.

Some parents were helping their children organize their luggage.

Meanwhile, the students were excitedly discussing the upcoming new semester.

Some had owls.

Some had cats.

There was even someone carrying a toad, just like Devero.

That was likely Neville.

He probably had some decent traits on him.

However, Devero didn't care about them at all right now.

Once he reached Hogwarts, there would be plenty of time to load those traits!

In the distance.

A massive red steam train was puffing out white smoke.

It was waiting for the passengers to arrive.

Devero had no luggage in his hands.

He immediately began to sprint across the platform.

He ran from one side of the platform to the other, his focus entirely on the system panel.

He kept his eyes glued to the exploration progress.

With every step he took, the exploration progress surged upward.

Zero percent!

One percent!

Five percent!

Fifteen percent!

Thirty percent!

[Ding!]

[Spell Proficiency Card has been issued!]

Sixty percent!

[Ding!]

[Trait Upgrade Card has been issued!]

One hundred percent!

[Ding!]

[Obtained Wisdom of the Sages!]

Boom!

Standing at the edge of the platform.

Devero's entire body shuddered violently!

A vast amount of knowledge flooded into his mind!

It intertwined and merged together!

The sheer volume of information contained within was terrifying!

Even though Devero was a magical prodigy.

Such a massive influx of knowledge was difficult to bear.

He reckoned that if an ordinary eleven-year-old wizard had to endure this, their brain would have fried in an instant!

After clutching his head to digest this knowledge for a while, Devero slowly straightened his body.

He opened the system panel to take a look.

A new entry had appeared on the interface.
