The things provided by the system truly couldn’t be judged according to common sense.
Even the lowest-quality Bronze Chest could potentially bring abilities that many people would never reach even after working hard for their entire lives.
This made him even more expectant of the rewards that came later.
“System, open the Silver Chest too.”
There was only one Silver Chest, and it had been provided by Dumbledore.
That meant it was very likely to contain a skill mastered by Dumbledore or some special talent related to him.
Under Blake’s expectant gaze, the system notification rang out steadily.
“Ding! Opening the Silver Chest.”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Advanced Alchemy Talent!”
“Talent in Alchemy?”
Blake raised a hand and scratched his head.
Dumbledore could indeed be considered an excellent master of Alchemy.
Although he couldn’t compare with Nicolas Flamel, his achievements in this field were still quite impressive.
So a reward related to Alchemy wasn’t really far from the target.
The talent itself was precious, but it currently had no direct use for Blake.
He hadn’t even truly entered wizarding society yet, let alone started learning Alchemy.
Still, he wasn’t disappointed.
Just because he couldn’t use it right now didn’t mean it would have no value in the future.
Perhaps he could use this talent to establish contact with Nicolas Flamel someday.
That was the most famous legendary alchemist of all.
If the two of them established a relationship, Blake might even be able to obtain more chests from him.
Blake secretly made a note of this idea before shifting his attention to the two Gold Chests.
From this point onward, things were truly worth looking forward to.
Two identical golden chests sat side by side inside the system space.
But that wasn’t important.
Once he opened them, the answer would naturally appear.
“System, open one Gold Chest first.”
“Ding! Opening the Gold Chest!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an Exceptional Ancient Runes Talent!”
“Ancient Runes?”
Blake knew that after entering their third year at Hogwarts, students could choose a subject called Ancient Runes.
Based on his original impression, the subject wasn’t particularly interesting.
Most of it consisted of studying theory.
The most common use of Ancient Runes was simply helping wizards decipher materials recorded in ancient writing.
It felt hardly any different from ordinary people studying ancient inscriptions.
“This talent isn’t going to be useless, is it?”
Blake frowned slightly.
But after thinking about it from another perspective, he felt that things might not be so simple.
The runes mentioned in Western legends were usually known as Rune letters.
And in those stories, Rune letters themselves contained mysterious power.
“Writing capable of carrying magical power…”
“If that’s really the case, could I use parchment covered in Ancient Runes as magical talismans?”
The moment the thought appeared, all kinds of possibilities had already emerged in Blake’s mind.
In truth, Blake couldn’t completely determine whether Ancient Runes were worth studying in depth.
Only a small number of master alchemists had mastered one or two truly magical special symbols.
However, considering the gap between Intermediate Cooking Mastery and ordinary chefs, Blake believed that the intermediate talents recognized by the system were probably already far beyond ordinary experts in reality.
And what he had obtained now was an Exceptional-level talent.
Combined with the top-tier academic talent he had obtained earlier, he believed that once he truly came into contact with Ancient Runes, he would definitely discover many secrets that others had never noticed.
“Once I get to Diagon Alley, it looks like I’ll need to buy quite a few things.”
“At the very least, I absolutely can’t go without all kinds of magic books.”
Books in wizarding society were usually quite expensive.
Fortunately, Blake had already earned some money in advance.
He planned to first exchange his ordinary currency for gold, then go to Gringotts and exchange it for Galleons from those greedy goblins.
After roughly planning out his future arrangements, Blake had the system open the other Gold Chest.
“Ding! The Gold Chest is initiating the opening procedure!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Exceptional Spellcasting Technique!”
The next moment, a massive amount of completely new information directly entered Blake’s mind.
“It’s actually a skill reward!”
Blake immediately became excited.
Even chests of the same quality could produce different types of rewards.
In his opinion, skill-based rewards were often more direct than talents.
Skills would immediately integrate into his body, saving him from years of training.
For example, after obtaining Cooking Mastery earlier, he hadn’t needed years of practice and had immediately reached the corresponding level.
Talents were different.
Even with an Exceptional-level talent, he still needed to learn and accumulate knowledge before he could truly turn it into strength.
