Chapter 59, Hogwarts School of Divinity (Part 2)
In late autumn, at the end of October, in the Kingdom of England, northwest of the city of Oxford, the "Forbidden Forest" under the jurisdiction of "Hogwarts School of Divinity"
This lush, leafy so-called "forbidden forest" is of course not an original natural product, but a fast-growing sapling in Doraemon's pocket that travelers used to create it based on the setting of "Harry Potter". and various 22nd century biotechnology props, occupying dozens of miles of abandoned farms and pastures in the wilderness northwest of Oxford, and forcibly creating a large artificial forest - although it still looks like a virgin forest of.
Well, of course, by doing this, the time-travelers seem to be encroaching on fertile farmland. However, since there are only a few hundred thousand of the three million Englishmen on the island of Great Britain who have died from the plague, there is no need for so much farmland. There is no more land to grow crops, and there are not so many strong laborers to cultivate the land, so simply converting farmland into forests seems to be a good choice. At least it can preserve the water and soil-it can only be abandoned anyway, right?
Just think of this forest as a nature reserve or forest park that transcends time! At least we have to give people a place to have a picnic!
Closer to home, just like the setting of "Harry Potter", this Forbidden Forest is a large and gloomy forest, covered with dense and tall trees, covering the entire sky. There is also a "Whomping Willow", a tree that doesn't like to be touched by people; if it is touched, it will attack people... Of course, other magical animals, such as werewolves, centaurs, and cannibals People, spiders, etc. would not dare to be put in again - there is no isolation between this copycat version of the Forbidden Forest and the outside world. What if the monsters inside escape and multiply wildly, causing a disaster of biological invasion?
At this moment, "Angel" Wang Qiu was on a lawn on the edge of the artificial "Forbidden Forest", teaching the first formal students of Hogwarts how to use offensive spells-different from basically harmless healing spells, these If the attack spell is messed up indoors, there is a real danger of blowing up the classroom to the sky. Even in a courtyard surrounded by high walls, it is still very unsafe, so we can only move further and move collectively to outside the school for classes... …
"...Meow! Meow, the omnipresent fire elf, please listen to my call, gather together, and attack my enemy, meow - the fireball technique!"
In the mid-air above the lawn, along with this meowing spell drafted by Doraemon himself, and under the influence of the magical prop [Magic Encyclopedia Dictionary], an orange-red fireball the size of a table tennis ball appeared. It gradually condensed and took shape on Wang Qiu's fingertips, and then Wang Qiu flicked his finger, letting the fireball fly far forward, and finally exploded on a large rock, splashing down countless tiny sparks.
"...Do you understand? This is the fireball technique. You all know the spell. Now start practicing!"
Wang Qiu flapped the "angel wings" behind his back, slowly fell from the air, and gave instructions to the Hogwarts students on the ground.
"...Yes, teacher!"
All the male and female students responded in unison, and then took out a spell manual with all thirty spells printed on it from under their robes - just like the setting of "Harry Potter", the students of this fake version of Hogwarts Academy also All wore loose black wizard robes. It's just that the pointed hat with a strong wizard style has been cancelled, so at first glance, it is almost the same as the black robes worn by middle- and lower-level priests these days.
However, unlike the all-underage wizards in the "Harry Potter" movies, among the students in this copycat version of Hogwarts Academy, there are actually a lot of old and middle-aged people, but not teenagers and girls. There are very few, and it looks more like an adult cram school. ——Four of the chief students are top figures who can shock Europe with their stamping of feet: the head of Gryffindor House - Pope Clement VI; the head of Slytherin House - Andrea, the Doge of Venice; Head of Winclaw College—Joan, Queen of England. Plantagenet; Head of Hufflepuff House - Joanna, Queen of Naples and Countess of Provence... And the first batch of students in the four houses are mainly the confidants and family members of the above-mentioned four rulers.
——Since there are only forty formal students in the entire Hogwarts Academy, this time the four colleges are taking classes together. Anyway, these students are all adults who have seen the world, and many of them have children and grandchildren. Descendants, even co-ed classes are no big deal.
More importantly, with their noble status, how many impatient guys dare to talk nonsense?
"...Meow! Meow, the omnipresent fire elf, please listen to my call, gather together, and attack my enemy, meow - the fireball technique!"
According to the Roman alphabet, imitating the tone of "Lord Angel" just now, and reciting a Japanese incantation with no idea of the meaning, Pope Clement VI felt the burning on his fingertips with excitement and excitement, and looked at a small ball of orange-red. The flame slowly appeared in his hand... Hey, he always thought He is already very old, so old that he can no longer be excited about any novel things, but looking at this incredible little fireball, Pope Clement VI is still like an innocent child who got a novel toy. , I felt the shock and throbbing from the depths of my soul.
If possible, he would definitely try every means and use all the power to completely monopolize this magical power in the church, no, it would be limited to the order to which he belongs, or even his own family. But the problem is... Pope Clement VI sighed and looked at King David of Scotland wearing the lion emblem, the Doge of Venice wearing the snake emblem, the Queen of England wearing the eagle emblem, and the badger The Queen of Naples with her emblem, as well as the nobles and ladies around her who were seriously chanting spells in the spell manual, the Pope could only helplessly shake his head.
It’s hard to collect water! Now that this miraculous spell has been spread so widely, there is no way it can be monopolized back into the hands of the church.
There is no way, even in medieval Europe with a strong religious atmosphere, the actual power of the Pope is far from supreme, let alone the Holy See that moved to Avignon. Its authority is much weaker than in the past, and it really does not have the power to face it head-on. Provoked so many powerful feudal monarchs.
Therefore, after a brief period of depression, the Pope focused his attention on the spell in front of him. First, with a flick of his finger, he threw the condensed small fireball onto a tree a dozen steps away, exploding into a scorched black mark. Then he tried reciting the fireball spell for the second time...
All in all, under Wang Qiu's one-by-one guidance, and after correcting some easily error-prone tones and tones, as well as the speed of reciting each section, the forty students present happily mastered the [Fireball Technique] - - These wonderful spells created by Doraemon using magical props [Magic Encyclopedia Dictionary] are not "magic" in the traditional sense after all. The caster does not care about the talent, blood, or elemental affinity. The threshold for entry is extremely low: as long as you don't stutter when speaking, can recite incantations according to the "Spell Book", and recite them fluently, you can basically use spells. And these distinguished and superior people present can definitely meet the above minimum standards.
In fact, as long as your memory is good enough and you can memorize these spells without making any mistakes, even illiterate people can use spells!
As a result, the teaching site located on the edge of the Forbidden Forest soon became a tragic scene of fire and fire, causing grass blades and soil to fly everywhere, leaving some ugly black marks on the lawn and woods... until Wang Qiu nodded with satisfaction. , making a gesture to stop.
"...Very good. As the most basic fire spell, [Fireball] has been learned by you now. At least you won't have to worry about being unable to make a fire alone. But if it is used on the battlefield, this power is a bit weak. It's so impressive, it's probably enough to deal with the little thieves. Next, I'm going to teach you a more powerful fire spell - [Pyroblast]. This is the real battlefield spell! >
As for the more powerful fire spells, namely 'Dragon Break' and 'Meteor Fire Rain', I can only ask you to find a wider place to practice next time - after all, no one of you would want to Oxford burns to a sea of flames, let the newly opened school burn to rubble! ”
While Wang Qiu was telling cold jokes that made people unable to laugh at all, he shouted a spell in fluent Japanese: "...Meow! Meow, the elf of fire, please listen to my voice and turn your anger and strength into To burn out all the evil flames, gather here - Pyroblast"
In an instant, a fire dragon nearly two meters in diameter burst out, leaving an obvious burning mark on the lush vegetation.
After a moment of silence, accompanied by bursts of messy turning of books, chanting sounds in various tones rang out: "...Meow! Meow, the elf of the flames, please listen to my voice, and turn your anger and strength into To burn out all the evil flames, gather here - Pyroblast"
As a result, blazing fire dragons appeared in the sky and quickly ignited the Forbidden Forest, which was in autumn and had dry vegetation...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At noon that day, Doraemon used magical props to create a heavy rain, and then barely put out the raging fire that spread to most of the Forbidden Forest.
And in the afternoon, all the anxious Hogwarts students had to cheer up and dragged their tired bodies to the rippling Black Lake to pay their respects to Hansel and Gretel, who looked very cute. ,words and deeds But the very strange "silver-haired little angel" learns a series of water-related "water spells" such as [Water Ball Technique], [Water Wall Technique], [Rain-seeking Technique], [Ice Arrow Technique], and [Ice Storm]... …
In addition, they also eagerly learned [Complete Healing Technique] and [Group Healing Technique] that were indispensable in the plague era, and [Light Technique] for lighting at night and in dark places. In order to be able to jump safely from high places [Featherfall Technique], which is necessary for downfall, and [Missile Technique], which is similar to the effect of a small trebuchet ], the [Serial Lightning] that angels often use to punish heretics... so many extremely difficult to pronounce incantations, making all the students who are already very old and whose memory and learning abilities have begun to decline, suddenly become dry and dry. My throat hurts, but I dare not make any omissions or carelessness.
Fortunately, no matter how cumbersome and complicated these mantras are, as long as you recite them more often, you will naturally become proficient in them. Moreover, students do not need to memorize them, they only need to hold the booklet and read them out fluently... This greatly reduces the difficulty for them to master this new knowledge.
Finally, after two dizzying weeks of intensive study, the angels finally smiled and announced to everyone that as the first batch of official students of Hogwarts School of Divinity, they had mastered the skills skillfully. After mastering all thirty spells, you can graduate and become a master! ——And a wonderful magical era has officially arrived... Although Europeans in this world prefer to call it the "Age of Divine Grace"!
