Aine, completely letting himself loose, rode his horse rapidly through an ordinary primeval forest.
This forest was dangerous for Muggles.
It contained not only bears and wolves, but also brown bears, gray wolves or wolverines, and Eurasian lynxes.
These fierce carnivores all lurked in large numbers throughout the Ambrosius family’s primeval forest.
However, it was basically impossible for these fierce carnivores to appear in front of Aine, because he wore a special magical-pattern bracelet.
When Aine had no intention of attacking, the bracelet could drive away carnivorous animals.
After passing through an ancient birch forest, Aine arrived at an even more primitive forest filled with a strange sensation.
The danger level of this forest was about the same as Hogwarts’ Forbidden Forest.
Its depths were filled with large numbers of XXXX- and XXXXX-class magical creatures, while there were also plenty of XXX-class creatures around the outskirts.
This forest was one of the Ambrosius family’s core assets.
It contained a complete magical-creature and magical-plant ecosystem of its own, and it was also the guarantee that had allowed the Ambrosius family to remain prosperous for generations.
The coordinates of this forest and the Ambrosius Castle, which was called the ancient castle when referring to the one inside the forest and simply the castle when referring to the one outside, were hidden within the bloodline itself.
Every time they entered, members of the Ambrosius family relied on their innate instincts to sense the way in.
Anyone without Ambrosius blood would never be able to find this forest or the castle.
Because of this, the magical world referred to the Ambrosius family as a family of recluses.
After crossing the outermost primeval oak forest, Aine saw an ancient castle covered in countless unknown magical plants.
Upon sensing Aine’s arrival, the castle lowered a five-meter-long drawbridge.
A four-meter-wide moat surrounded the castle’s outer perimeter.
Once Aine crossed it, the drawbridge rose again.
A house-elf dressed in ordinary fabric styled after ancient Greek clothing appeared in front of Aine.
This was Fister, one of the house-elves belonging to the Ambrosius family.
Within the castle grounds, he was specifically responsible for taking care of Aine’s daily life.
As for Fister’s clothing, Aine had ordered him to make it himself according to the style Aine had specified.
“Young Master Aine, welcome back.”
“Fister, help me tidy up my room.
Also, send some food to my room. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
I’ll go there after I finish feeding the horse.”
“Yes, Young Master Aine.”
After saying this, Fister disappeared from the spot.
Just as Aine rode into the stable, he saw his biological elder brother, Tatri Ambrosius, standing with his back to Aine while brushing a horse.
The Ambrosius family’s inheritance system was rather unusual.
Everyone chose their own path.
Once they reached the age of twenty, they had to choose whether to inherit the ancestral property, go out and establish their own business, or inherit the assets of another branch of the family.
Aine’s father had chosen to inherit the ancestral property.
Therefore, after his grandfather’s death, the Ambrosius Castle and the Ambrosius Magical Forest would be inherited by his father.
Aine’s biological elder brother, Tatri, had also chosen to inherit the ancestral property.
He was currently learning how to manage the Ambrosius Magical Forest.
“Tatri!” Aine dismounted and shouted from a distance.
Tatri immediately spun around and pointed his wand toward the direction of the voice.
But when he saw that it was his younger brother, Aine, he lowered his wand.
This was Tatri’s emergency response after completing one stage of his training.
Aine had long since grown accustomed to it.
As for the reason behind it, that would be explained later.
Tatri immediately put down what he was holding and embraced Aine.
He hadn’t seen his younger brother for nearly two years.
After all, he had come to the castle for special training after graduating from Hogwarts, and every time Aine visited the castle, Tatri happened to be training deep inside the Magical Forest, so they had never managed to meet.
” Aine !
You’ve grown so tall already!
Are you still getting into trouble with George and Fred?” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
After Tatri released Aine, Aine took out a piece of parchment and handed it to him.
Tatri opened it somewhat curiously.
He understood his younger brother well and knew that Aine wouldn’t play a prank during a reunion between brothers.
After opening it, Tatri discovered that it was a recipe, and he looked at Aine in confusion.
“Tatri, I’ve written the effects of the recipe below.
I’ll leave the horse to you.
I’m going off to have fun!”
With that, Aine handed the reins to Tatri.
Tatri had just finished reading the effects and was about to ask him about them when he saw Aine already leaving, with the reins Aine had handed him still in his hands.
Tatri couldn’t help feeling a warm sensation in his heart.
The effects of this recipe would be of great help to his training.
In particular, its healing effect was extremely valuable.
Recovering physical strength and magic was actually secondary.
After all, he couldn’t use finished potions during his training.
Aine quickly made his way to a small library.
After celebrating his tenth birthday, the prohibition against him touching magical books had naturally been lifted.
However, Aine had been so eager to examine the magical books that he was stunned when he saw the disorderly state of the small library.
How long was it going to take him to study all this?
After spending three days searching, Aine finally found a set of books on Ancient Runes in the small library.
According to Aine’s understanding, the core of magic was magical runes, commonly known as Ancient Runes, while the core of alchemy was magical patterns manifested from magical runes.
Studying Ancient Runes could provide a good understanding of how spells functioned.
But Aine felt that this set of Ancient Runes books seemed to be incomplete.
There were only a few hundred runes, and they didn’t provide any good explanation of the magical laws governing how the world operated.
However, Aine had sensed something.
That was…
