Chapter 291 The Lost History of Magic
“The Lost History of Magic?”
“It’s the Lost History of Roman Magic.”
Seus repeated it seriously.
“Is this a big difference?”
“Very big,” Hughes found a place to sit, “Actually, because of uncertainty, the current history of magic is not very Talking about this, it is just a mainstream research direction-many wizards who study the history of magic are very concerned about it."
"You are only in the second year and you have started to study this?"
Hal couldn't help but interrupt, but Kevin rolled his eyes next to him, "Please, what does personal hobbies have to do with grade?"
"Don't interrupt, Hughes, go on."< br>
"Well," Hughes nodded, "Actually, have you discovered that all magic spells have one thing in common."
"Latin?"
Andrew said not too sure. He had studied a little by himself, but not much - because he was interrupted from studying on his own and started to study at Hogwarts.
Later, the Transfiguration spell was covered in all kinds of messy information. The addition of Wagadu's spell system made him ignore the fact that most of the spells in Hogwarts were in Latin.
“Yes, that’s right, Latin, not just us, the spells of the three European magic schools can be close to Latin, and the older the spell, the more closely related it is to Latin. "Big."
Sius said very definitely, "But unfortunately, due to the war in the wizarding world or other factors, most of the information from that period was lost, and only some of the remaining historical materials were lost. Collect them and sort them out.”
“Not even Hogwarts?”
Bell exclaimed, but was laughed at ruthlessly by Kevin.
"The Roman magical world was destroyed along with the Roman Empire. As for Hogwarts, that will happen hundreds of years later. Please listen carefully to the history of magic, Bell."
< br>"Everyone is A, are you embarrassed to say this?"
…
After successfully hurting each other, everyone shut up.
"Go on, Hughes."
Andrew looked serious - he had never thought about this.
If the spells of the three major magic schools are all of Latin origin, then the wizards of ancient Rome are the founders of the current European spell system?
But there is magic information that says - the magic in Wagadu is earlier?
There is also the creation of the wand system...but this seems to be much later...
'Damn it, thanks to Hughes, otherwise I would have to study the history of magic - but I still have to dabble in it. , the origin... may even be related to powerful ancient magic, no, it may even be earlier. ’
But his thinking was quickly interrupted by Hughes’ description.
“Due to the lack of a large amount of data, there are several speculations now, but I support the restrictive view more.”
He confirmed that everyone was listening carefully and began to describe the general concept.
"Not all spell systems are based on the Latin system. For example, the magic system of Wagadu is said to be able to cast spells directly with gestures."
Andrew nodded, but the others did not notice this small movement.
“So, the restrictionists believe that the way the original wizards used magic limited the development of magic in various regions. For example, Latin magic spells use gestures plus Latin spells.”
"It is generally believed that these special means communicate magic, allowing the spells intended by the wizard to appear, and the so-called spells and gestures are methods used to better communicate magic. Just like when we write, quills and ink can, But Muggle ballpoint pens can actually be used, and we can even write directly on the ground with a stick or our fingers - don’t do this!”
Someone has already fainted.
Fortunately, Andrew still understands.
"Interesting," he nodded and motioned for Hughes to continue, "So, what about the wand system?"
"The wand actually came later, if not for the amplification effect and stabilizing spell of the wand itself. The effect is actually negative, because the wand is far less flexible than the fingers, but... it adds too much, so wizards have begun to adapt to the wand."
"What else?"< br>
Andrew was extremely happy to hear it. "No more. That's all the explanations of magic and spells. Then there are the wizards' hobbies, food and entertainment at that time. It's all said and done, it's the lost history of Roman magic..."
Xius spread his hands, "If you want to listen, I can tell you."
Who wants to listen to that!
Andrew just wanted to curse.
But he has gained a lot, and who should be blamed for the loss of history?
But - the magic of the Vagadu system...
A collision of another system?
He realized that the effect of this thing was much greater than he imagined.
However, it is too early for him to delve into the things behind - even his accumulation of transformation is just barely visible, and the magic simply meets the requirements of students. This is an attempt to get involved in both systems. It’s really overestimating what you’re hiding.
‘Let’s learn, there are others to learn...’
While he was sighing with emotion, the other people also came to their senses from Hughes's background description, "It's incredible. It's a system used by three schools. No, there's also the United States. What's going on?"
“Ilvermorny.”
“Yes, Ilvermorny, they are modeled after our Hogwarts, so it is a common system among the four schools. It is really a great knowledge. Ah."
So, because of this great knowledge, the last time before leaving school was spent on the information compiled by Hughes-more detailed and more amazing.
It wasn't until night that Andrew was notified of his arrival - Professor McGonagall asked him to come over.
‘Ah, did you pretty much talk about it during the morning shift? ’
It’s still two weeks of vacation, and then it’s time to go back to school and work - get used to it, that’s it.
While thinking, he ran towards Professor McGonagall's office.
"Professor, I'm here."
"Just in time, your spell casting notice has arrived. Remember to bring it with you. Don't forget to practice when you go back. Of course, don't cast spells randomly."
Professor McGonagall picked up an official document from the Ministry of Magic and handed it to him.
This is good, but it will be too miserable if you don't cast spells for two weeks - just for this, returning to school early is just a small loss.
“Also, the vacation has been extended to twenty days, but you have to learn a little bit of German.”
“German?”
“At least you can understand it. "We have important things to talk about."
Professor McGonagall looked serious.
“For German, go to Durmstrang?”
“Yes, let’s go there first, exchange our intentions, and see if we can recruit a professor back,” Professor McGonagall sighed. He took a breath and said, "There is always unfinished work. We might have postponed it, but didn't we come up with new technology? Everyone needs to communicate."
"Remember to strictly abide by the confidentiality of the project and do not expose the itinerary and details. Content - We may have to talk about the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament."
"Yes, I promise."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Andrew and found that he did not move. Then he sighed, "Go to the library and read the school history. Taylor, your history of magic really needs to be strengthened."
"Okay, Professor. , I’ll borrow it right now.”
“Well, go and have a rest early.”
“Yes, Professor, you should also take a good rest.”
