Chapter 225 Spell Duel (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Hogwarts Principal’s Office.
Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, looking at the note that suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, with a very confused expression on his old face.
Because he really doesn't know what kind of magic can send a note from an unknown place to Hogwarts, which is protected by countless magics.
In fact, so far, no one in the magic world has been able to invent a spell that can communicate remotely and deliver items.
Otherwise, wizards would not go to great lengths to tame owls to deliver letters and packages.
If someone does it, there is a high probability that they will receive the First Class Medal of Sir Merlin.
After all, this is a feat that is enough to subvert and change the communication methods of the entire magical world. It should be praised by everyone and receive due honors and rewards.
But now, someone actually uses such amazing magic just to send himself an invitation to a duel.
You must know that since defeating Gellert Grindelwald in a duel, no one in the entire wizarding world has dared to challenge Albus Dumbledore, and he is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time. , even the name Lian Yi was omitted.
Even when Tom Riddle, who claimed to be Voldemort and You-Know-Who, controlled the entire British wizarding world, he still did not dare to take a step closer to Hogwarts.
The reason is that he is not sure of defeating his former teacher, the professor who brought him from the orphanage into the magical world.
But now, when everything has calmed down, someone suddenly appears who wants to challenge him. This is really incomprehensible to Dumbledore.
If the other party hadn't used an unprecedented magic and the note appeared out of thin air in front of him, he would probably have laughed it off as a prank by some naughty students.
“Who could it be?”
This old man with a gray beard and over a hundred years old showed a very curious expression.
However, he did not disturb the professors who were busy teaching students and recruiting newborns for the second half of this year. Instead, he picked up his wand and quietly left Hogwarts Castle, following the note. I planned to meet the other party at the address I left on my phone.
As the most powerful wizard in contemporary magic, Dumbledore has never been afraid of any challenge, and the lion-like courage of Gryffindor House flows in his veins.
After leaving the magical protection of the castle, he quickly used Apparition to instantly move to the designated location.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately noticed several figures wearing cloaks and hoods.
Because his face was covered, Dumbledore couldn't see clearly the other person's appearance and age. He could only feel that the other person exuded a weird aura that was hard to describe in words, just like in Hogwarts Castle. Like those ghosts.
You don’t need to ask to know that these people are the lichs who have just passed through the portal from the continent of Faerûn.
As for Zuo Si himself, he blessed himself with advanced invisibility skills and stood silently on the top of a tree to provide these subordinates with the magic network environment necessary for casting spells.
Through a simple test, he has realized that the reason why the occupations bound to the land cards can still function after leaving the original world is that when the land cards take effect, a certain amount of space will be formed around them. Ranges of magical environments overlap.
That is, it can not only satisfy the casting environment of the world where the land card is located, but will not affect the casting environment of the current world.
The higher the level of the land card, the greater the range of influence.
The LV2 floating city tower at the beginning can only affect a distance of less than 400 meters around it at best.
It’s just that the creator profession itself does not have the ability to cast spells. It mainly creates various magic items and rare objects, so the feeling in this aspect is not obvious.
But after leaving Faerun, Zuo Si could immediately feel the impact of land cards on professions such as mages, priests, archmages, and mystics.
Based on the currently effective LV7 land cards, the maximum range of influence is almost ten kilometers in radius from the planeswalker itself.
This also means that once this distance is exceeded, various magic and divine spells from Faerun will not be effective.
Especially those legendary magics and spells that change the environment and climate on a large scale, as well as various long-distance teleportation magics, are also firmly restricted to a radius of ten kilometers.
For example, [Finbull Winter] can maintain extreme cold weather such as blizzards, strong winds and hail for one to three months within a maximum range of tens of kilometers;
Another example It is said that [Tenchu Doomsday] summons the energy of darkness and destruction into the world and destroys everything within hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.
As for the five-ring [Teleportation Technique] that can easily teleport thousands of kilometers away, it can now only move a maximum distance of ten kilometers at a time.
In short, the higher the spellcasting level and the greater the range of influence of high-level and even legendary spells mastered, the more constraints and limitations the land cards of not high enough level will become.
However, those spells that have been made into cards will not be subject to these restrictions.
Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to upgrade the land card [Floating City Tower] to see if it would produce some special abilities after LV7, Dumbledore finally broke the silence and asked Said: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, what's important is that we will defeat you here. Come on, stop talking nonsense, let us use magic to talk."
< br>Jeffrey was the first to stand up.
As a veteran of the organization, he paid a considerable "price" to grab this "starting" position from his friends.
After all, after witnessing with my own eyes the extremely advanced science and technology on the earth, the terrifying urban communities formed by tens of millions of people gathered together, the endless high-rise buildings as far as the eye can see, and those who do not rely on magic. After having operational trains, cars, planes, and giant ships of 10,000 tons, he was full of expectations for the heights that magic in this world could reach.
After all, even ordinary people can reach that level. Even if the number of spellcasters is small, they should be able to reach a level similar to that.
"I don't mind a magic duel. But where's your wand?"
Dumbledore cast his eyes on the opponent's empty hands.
In his opinion, these people in front of him exuded a strange aura, and his Legilimency was unable to read any memories, emotions, or thoughts from each other.
It was as if what we were facing at this moment was not a group of people, but cold and lifeless puppets or corpses.
In fact, Dumbledore was right.
As an undead creature, the existence of the lich itself has been separated from the category of "living".
Let alone Legilimency, all charm, mind control and other spells have no effect on them at all.
Because the real soul of the lich is stored in the phylactery, what most people see is just the body controlled by the lich's soul. There is a problem if they can read memories, emotions and thoughts.
Jeffrey didn't talk nonsense. He directly raised his hands and performed complex spell-casting movements while reciting a spell that ordinary people couldn't understand.
In the blink of an eye, a seven-ring [Spell Reversal] was blessed on myself.
After all this was done, he raised his chin slightly and said, "A wand? I don't need to rely on that kind of thing to assist in casting spells."
"Casting spells without a wand?!"
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Although he did not recognize the spell that the other party had just cast, the strong magic fluctuation could not be faked.
And in today's magical world, there are only a handful of wizards who have mastered the skills of wandless spellcasting.
No one can match up with the mysterious man in front of me.
However, Jeffrey, who was eager to understand the magic system of this world, did not care about this. After blessing himself with several protective magics in advance, he urged impatiently: "Do you still want to follow me?" A spell duel?”
"Of course! In fact, I have already prepared it. You can attack at any time." Dumbledore responded with a smile.
As a master of silent spellcasting and wandless spellcasting, the moment he heard the other party chanting the spell, he subconsciously blessed himself with the Iron Armor Curse.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
As he said that, Jeffrey followed the tradition of magic duels in Faerûn and gracefully bowed to his opponent with his hands on his chest. .
Dumbledore saw this and politely raised his wand in return.
When the two stood up almost at the same time, the former raised his hand first and shot five shimmering magic missiles from his fingertips.
There is no doubt that this is a metamagic skill - instant spell casting.
This spell that he had never seen before made Dumbledore's eyes light up. He immediately raised his wand and released the apparation, flashing from one place to another.
But just when he thought he had dodged those beautiful magic light groups, he suddenly saw the thrown missiles drawing beautiful arcs in mid-air, as if they had eyes and were chasing after them. Come up.
After performing several apparations in succession, Dumbledore finally realized that this was a magic with automatic tracking capabilities like a Bludger.
No matter where you hide, these magic missiles will never stop until the energy to maintain the spell is exhausted.
In desperation, he could only rely on the armor spell on his body to eat five magic missiles.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the missile hit the invisible energy source and emitted a dazzling light, Dumbledore's originally relaxed expression finally changed.
Only five magic missiles had a huge impact on the armor spell he released personally.
Obviously, without protection, any wizard may be killed by these small, inconspicuous-looking energy balls.
"Who are you?"
Dumbledore once again raised the question just now.
But this time, his tone and attitude were obviously different.
Unfortunately, Jeffrey had no intention of communicating with the other party, and directly sneered and mocked: "As the greatest wizard in the existing magic world, your performance at the moment really makes me feel a little disappointed. If you don’t take it seriously, I guarantee you will regret it.”
"There are many obstacles!"
Dumbledore said nothing and immediately chose to fight back with practical actions by waving his wand.
But unfortunately, this spell was instantly bounced back by [Spell Reversal], causing him to instantly fall into sluggishness.
When Jeffrey saw this, he immediately shook his head in disappointment, completed the advanced dispelling magic at an extremely fast speed, and directly removed the armor curse from Dumbledore's body.
In the last two seconds before the effect of the obstacle spell disappeared, the third ring of [Exhaustion Ray] was completed.
When the terrible beam hit, Dumbledore's face suddenly became extremely pale and painful. His already very old body looked as if he would die at any time, and even his breathing became extremely weak.
However, after regaining his ability to move, he quickly cast some kind of recovery spell on himself silently, and he recovered completely in just a second or two.
At the same time, the sorcerer known as the most powerful wizard of the modern era immediately used the transformation spell to turn the towering trees next to him into giant walking tree men.
After being awakened, the latter immediately rushed towards the location of the lich.
"Transformation? Summoning? It's interesting..."
Jeffrey's eyes shone slightly, and his mental state became extremely excited.
Because this is the spell duel he expected, not a unilateral crushing of the opponent by himself.
But before these trees could get closer, a wall of blazing flames appeared out of thin air on the tree man's path.
Every tree man that passed through was quickly ignited and burned violently in the next second, and after a while, it turned into puddles of large firewood falling on the ground.
In the next few minutes, Dumbledore finally showed the brilliance of this world's magic system.
That means no preparation and no need to remember.
As long as there is enough magic power in the body, you can cast any spell you have learned at will.
And the effects of many magic spells may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but they play an extraordinary role in actual combat.
The Stop Curse, in particular, seems to have the effect of dispelling magic, advanced dispelling magic, and even anti-magic fields to a certain extent.
Several of Jeffrey's high-level spells were countered in this way.
With Dumbledore's full firepower, the Lich's spell slots began to be continuously consumed, and eventually he was gradually defeated.
Just when he wanted to use wands, scrolls and the magic items he carried to reverse the situation, Vanessa immediately stopped him and said: "That's enough! You have already lost this spell duel, don't give it to us Shameful.”
“Damn it!”
Jeffrey couldn’t help but cursed in a low voice, but reluctantly stopped casting the spell and stood not far away. The old man said: "You won this game! But don't be complacent, I still have many cards that are restricted and cannot be used. What's more, I am not the strongest among everyone."
" Your magics and spells are very strange. Almost every one of them is unheard of and unseen. Even the Hogwarts library cannot find any relevant information." Dumbledore also put away his wand and commented.
He could see that although the identity and origin of the strange man in front of him was very mysterious and full of mystery, he did not have any malicious intent or murderous intention.
And there is always room for leeway throughout the mage duel.
Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just being slightly injured and bleeding a little at this moment.
Normally speaking, a wizard with such strength should never be unknown.
What's more, it can be basically judged from the other party's dress, appearance and behavior that this should be a small group or organization.
"There is no need to ask around for our identities and origins, and there is no need to worry about what we do that endangers order and law. We are not interested in this island country, we just want to see you, who is known as the greatest wizard of our time. Whether she deserves such praise or not, that’s all.”
Vanessa made her attitude straightforward.
Because after seeing Dumbledore bleed, he knew that he had completed his mission.
At the same time, through the observation just now, the Lich also discovered a distinctive feature of the spell casting by "wizards" in this world. Different spells require different emotions and strong wills to be mobilized.
The latter may even produce an unimaginable increase in magical effects and power.
During the spell duel just now, Dumbledore relied on a similar method to forcibly interrupt and terminate several of Jeffrey's seventh- and even eighth-level spells.
Vanessa is very interested in the strange spellcasting methods and magic systems of wizards.
But he knew that this occasion was not suitable for discussing with the other party, but to hide the secret that he came from another world.
As for the future matters, Zuo Si, as the leader of the organization, will naturally handle it properly.
“You just want to have a spell duel with me?”
With Dumbledore's suspicious character, he obviously didn't believe this.
If it weren’t for Jeffrey’s powerful spell-casting ability, which is completely different from the current mainstream spell-casting method in the magic world.
He would even mistake the people in front of him for Voldemort's newly recruited Death Eaters.
Vanessa nodded slightly: "That's right! If you still have enough magic power, you can fight with me again. If you are tired, then go back and have a good rest for a few days. Within the next week, we will stay here waiting for you to come for the duel."
"What about one week later?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and probed carefully.
"In a week, we will leave for home, and it is estimated that we will not appear in front of the world again for hundreds or even thousands of years." Vanessa replied pretending to be profound.
"Hundreds of years or even thousands of years? Are you a hidden magical organization in ancient times!"
Dumbledore's eyes widened in disbelief.
If this answer is correct, then everything makes sense.
Whether it is the other party's method of casting spells that is completely different from modern magic, or a large number of spells that he does not recognize, they can all be classified as lost ancient magic.
After all, before Hogwarts and other ancient magic schools were established, that is, around 900 to 1000 AD, the history of wizards basically did not exist.
At that time, all wizards were scattered around the world, secretly conducting secret research that was not known to anyone.
No one knows how many spells and potion formulas were invented by wizards at that time, let alone how many of them were lost, and how many of them were passed down and gradually improved and turned into the current magic spells.
As for what kind of state the wizards were in during the thousands of years before this, modern wizards have no way of knowing.
The knowledge and wisdom left by the wizards of ancient times can only be found from ancient ruins such as the pyramids.
"That's what you think. But remember not to tell anyone, and don't bring them to see us. Otherwise we will leave immediately without hesitation."
After saying this, Vanessa He raised his hands and began chanting a mantra loudly.
After a while, a gate appeared out of thin air in the open space.
When he reached out and pushed open the door, Dumbledore saw extremely gorgeous decorations, carpets and chandeliers, as well as a large number of well-dressed servants on the other side of the door.
On the long table in the distance, you can even see steaming meals ready.
But before he could ask any questions, the lichs filed into the mansion and slammed the door shut, completely cutting off contact with the outside world.
You don’t need to ask to know that what Vanessa just performed was the famous [Mage’s Mansion] among the seven-ring arcana, also known as [Mordenkainen’s Mansion Technique].
Like [Mage's Sword] and [Great Disintegration], it was also invented by Mordenkainen, the most famous legendary mage in the world of Greyhawk.
It is said that even in the multiverse, most high-level mages will learn at least one or more spells invented by Mordenkainen. This shows how amazing his influence and scope of influence are.
As a very curious old man, Dumbledore was obviously very interested in the door that appeared out of thin air and the mansion connected to the other side of the door.
He walked straight to the door, raised his wand and whispered to the door lock: "Open the Alaho hole!" Unfortunately, the door lock did not respond at all.
Seeing this scene, the over-100-year-old man immediately couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Okay! I think this door should be blessed with some kind of powerful Protective magic. It seems that the level of magical attainments of these mysterious people is quite amazing. It's just that a week is too short, otherwise I should write to Nico Flamel, I believe he will be interested in these ancient magics and spells. ”
Obviously, the various performances and magical skills displayed by the lich completely convinced Albus Dumbledore, and made him believe that the other party was a certain person who had been inherited to this day and isolated from the world. Ancient magic organization.
After all, the magical world has never been visited by intelligent creatures from other worlds before.
Just like that, the headmaster of Hogwarts quickly disapparated and disappeared.
He now needs to return to school, ask Madam Pomfrey to deal with some of the more troublesome wounds on his body, and then take a good rest for a day to recharge his batteries.
Wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and have a spell duel with these interesting ancient wizards.
If possible, it is best to exchange some magical theoretical knowledge and spell principles.
Strive to let those very powerful magics be passed down at Hogwarts.
As soon as Dumbledore left, Zuo Si came out of his hiding place and carefully got some blood dripping on the weeds from the ground. He did not hesitate to summon "Legacy" to perform the mimicry.
In an instant!
The little blood he just obtained on his hand was immediately absorbed by the skin, and the most important part of it was integrated into the body and blood.
In about a few seconds, a very strange energy began to expand rapidly in the body.
Fortunately, Zuo Si discovered it quickly and suppressed the energy in time with the power of sparks.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause violent eruptions and fluctuations of magic power.
The eruption of magic power will 100% be recorded in the admission list of Hogwarts that is blessed with powerful magical power.
Maybe it also includes the specific time and place.
If Dumbledore happens to see him then, it will be great fun.
After this uncontrollable impulse was suppressed, Zuo Si breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time saw that there was an additional [Wizard (Dumbledore Family Bloodline)] in his mimicry profession column - —LV1], a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.
After a while, the lichs who had just hid in the [Mage's Mansion] also opened the door and walked out.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, he immediately asked without looking back: "How about it, what is your evaluation of the greatest wizard in the world today?"
"Well... ...I think his strength is very close to that of a legendary mage, and in some areas it even reaches the level of a legendary mage.
For example, the teleportation magic (disapparation) that can be cast repeatedly in an instant without any restrictions. .
But the damage caused by various magics is slightly insufficient.
Of course, it does not rule out that he did not use those powerful spells, just like Jeffrey did not use his best summoning, charm and control spells.
In addition, the spell that can stop most people is very strange, and its release speed is also very fast.
If there is no way to crack it, it may be difficult to pose a substantial threat to it.
And I discovered that the spellcasters in this world who claim to be wizards rely heavily on the small weapon in their hands called a wand.
Especially the one in Dumbledore's hand, the intensity of the arcane aura is almost as strong as many legendary level magic items. ”
Vanessa thought for a moment and then quickly gave her judgment.
"So are you confident that you can defeat him in a one-on-one spell duel?" Zuo Si turned around and showed a playful smile.
Vanessa answered without thinking: "If I let my hands and feet go, I am 60% sure that I can defeat it.
After all, in terms of spell diversity and lethality, Faerun The magic system is much more complicated than this world, and it is also much more dangerous.
What's more, Principal Dumbledore's body is already very weak, and I happen to know a few necromancy systems that can accelerate aging. Magic.
Coupled with the mental arithmetic and unintentional calculation, my chances of winning should be quite high.
What, do you want to do something to him? "
Zuo Si immediately shook his head: "No, of course not. I'm just confirming the heights he can reach in the realm of magic, and the threat level.
But it doesn’t matter now.
Because I have obtained the ticket to enter the magical circle of this world.
In the next week, you will accompany Dumbledore to finish the play, and then you can go back.
I will solve the remaining problems one by one slowly by myself. "
"Don't you need our help to collect all kinds of knowledge, technology and magic in this world? "
Jeffrey has obviously fallen in love with this world and is a little reluctant to go back.
"No need. Moreover, your identities and spell-casting methods are too sensitive, and I don’t want to make too much noise.
What's more, the reason why you can release magic normally now is entirely because you are by my side.
Once you leave my side, all of you will lose the support of the magic network in minutes, and you may not be able to perform even the lowest level of tricks. ”
Zuo Si unceremoniously rejected Jeffrey’s idea of staying.
At least until the problem of incompatible casting environments is solved, these lichs have no way of leaving him alone. Action.
“The magic systems and spell-casting environments of different worlds are very different, which is indeed a problem that needs to be solved. ”
Vanessa touched her chin with a thoughtful expression.
But fortunately, the Lich is immortal, and he has almost unlimited time to overcome all difficulties bit by bit.
In this way, the lichs communicated (physically) with Dumbledore in this unknown place for a whole week.
Until the lichs left this world, the latter did not know that what he was facing was actually a group of undead spellcasters from another world, and he did not learn even a single spell in the battle.
Even if Dumbledore himself memorized some so-called "magic spells" and tried to use them after returning, they all failed in the end without exception.
Because if you want to cast a spell in Faerûn, it is not enough to have the spell alone, you also need the corresponding casting actions and casting materials.
Spells and spell-casting actions may be imitated, but spell-casting materials are definitely not something that can be easily understood.
Similarly, Vanessa and others did not reveal any of the magic system and creations of Faerûn.
There were just a few fierce spell duels from beginning to end.
As for Zuo Si, in addition to providing the necessary environmental support for casting spells, he also hid in the dark and memorized several incantations that the "principal" recited when he released spells.
It's a pity that Dumbledore is a white wizard through and through, and he has never used any of the three unforgivable curses, powerful fire and other incredibly lethal spells.
Otherwise, Zuo Si really wants to know whether "Avada chews the big melon" is a negative energy spell in the necromancy system, or is it a legendary magic that directly targets the soul, and whether it can kill undead. Creature Lich.
With the expectation of entering the magical world, he stayed at his home for several months. In addition to taking the initiative to conduct a small-scale magic burst, he basically went to the British Library every day.
By touching the covers of the books on the bookshelves, I recorded each book in my mind, intending to report it to the God of Knowledge when I returned.
But in the eyes of the librarian, Zuo Si is undoubtedly a freak and anomaly.
Because he has never opened any book, he just touches the covers of books along the bookshelf every day, which makes people completely confused as to what he is doing.
Some of these highly specialized books are simply not something a boy can understand.
Fortunately, he has never made any move or tendency to destroy books, so the administrator can only follow behind and stare at him, without stopping or expelling him.
As time came to July, when Zuo Si had just celebrated his so-called "birthday" and officially turned eleven, an owl messenger delivered a letter from Hogwarts as expected. admission notice.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(President of the International Confederation of Wizards, First Order of Merlin, Grand Wizard, Chief Magician of the Wizengamot)
Dear Thor Mr. S:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Attached is a list of required secretaries and equipment.
The semester is scheduled to begin on September 1st.
We will send someone to explain to you and your family later.
Vice Principal (Female)
Minerva McGonagall.
As for the second page, it is basically all books that need to be purchased, as well as school uniforms and a small amount of other equipment and equipment.
"Everything is exactly as I planned. It seems that I have got the key to enter the magical world. I just don't know which professor will come to pick me up, a student from a Muggle family. Oh, I almost forgot, it's about time Call the guardian to help."
After that, Zuo Si picked up the phone on the table and dialed one of the numbers.
In less than forty minutes, a white male police officer who looked to be in his forties appeared at the door of the house.
Due to a small amount of tampering with his memory, he directly regarded Zuo Si as the orphan of a colleague who was killed during the mission, and quickly began to assume the role of guardian.
In just two or three days, a family atmosphere was created.
About two weeks later, a thin man with straight hair, a big aquiline nose, and cold and unfathomable eyes appeared at the door of the house.
He was wearing a black robe, and his skin turned a pale white like a vampire due to being out of the light for a long time.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the famous "Love Saint", Professor Severus Snape, currently the potions professor at Hogwarts and the headmaster of Slytherin.
I saw him raising his left hand and knocking on the door very rhythmically.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the white policeman heard this, he jumped up from the sofa and walked quickly to the door and opened it.
When he found out it was a stranger, he immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Excuse me...who are you?"
"Hello, sir. I am Hogwart. Professor Severus Snape. The children living in this house should have received an admission notice from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry some time ago. Since you are a Muggle family, the school is yours. Send me to give a brief explanation."
Snape put on a businesslike appearance.
"Magic school? Are you liars?" The white policeman suddenly showed a wary look.
Since Zuo Si never disclosed any information from beginning to end, when he heard the word magic, his first reaction was that he had met a liar.
Snape knew how difficult it was to convince a Muggle family to believe in the existence of magic, so he took out his wand and tapped lightly on the bunch of dried flowers on the table.
In an instant!
The whole bouquet of flowers seems to have gone back in time, and has once again returned to the vitality it had when it was just inserted into the vase more than a week ago.
“Oh – my God!”
The white policeman plopped down on the sofa, his whole body falling into a sluggish state.
Following that, he quickly took out a flower, put it in front of his nose, sniffed it, and then exclaimed: "Unbelievable! Magic really exists in this world! Why have I never heard of it before? "
Snape explained expressionlessly: "Because the wizarding world has a secrecy act that prohibits revealing information to Muggles, that is, ordinary people like you who don't understand magic and don't have wizard relatives or friends. Even a little bit of information related to magic will be wiped out of your memory even if you know it occasionally.
Well, you will naturally understand this when this child becomes a little wizard. Everyone knows about it.
Now, let us talk about all the matters related to admission..."
With his identity as a wizard and his strong aura, Snape was able to complete the matter in just a few minutes.
After confirming that Zuo Si was going to Hogwarts, the two parties quickly agreed on a time to go to Diagon Alley to exchange Muggle currency for wizard currency. Buy the books and tools on the list.
As for Zuo Si, he used almost perfect acting skills to express a genius child's yearning for the magical world.
After all, he has been in the floating city tower for a long time. At that time, I fully utilized my two skills of "acting" and "pretending to be young".
Even the Archmage of the Necromancer Asta couldn't see any flaws.
When Snape finished his work and left, Zuo Si directly kicked out the nominal guardian, released the charm control, and returned him to his normal life.
The next matters of currency exchange and purchasing also went very smoothly.
Zuo Si did not show any "money printing ability". He only exchanged enough expenses for a semester. He didn't even look at things that could attract the attention of the little wizard, such as pets, owl messengers and flying broomsticks. After shopping, I went back directly.
Snape was obviously very satisfied with the restraint, maturity and intelligence he showed.
The only pity is that the Sorting Hat will almost never assign Muggle-born wizards to Slytherin students. Even if they are not pure blood, they must be at least mixed blood, so they are destined not to be students in his college.
However, Snape did not know that the "excellent" student in his eyes disassembled the wand purchased from Ollivander's Wand Shop into "parts" on the first night he returned home, and then Remodel it, enchant it, and add various magics to shield it from detection.
Although Mr. Ollivander, who specializes in making and selling wands, always emphasizes that the master chooses the wand, and the wand chooses the master.
But Zuo Si completely scoffed at this and thought this idea was as ridiculous as playing a card game and engaging in all kinds of metaphysics.
Even worse than a metaphysical gamer.
At least the latter understands that the metaphysics he engages in is at best for psychological comfort, or simply to "fix his life."
After all, the wand is not a high-level activated magic item with intelligence and independent thinking ability, so where does it come from so many bad things?
It is a tool that simply strengthens spellcasting. Since it is a tool, it can be modified and upgraded.
It’s just that the magic power of some wizards is particularly sensitive to some special materials, and during long-term use, the core of the wand will gradually adapt to the magical properties of the owner, gradually forming the so-called "human and stick unity" Feel.
Once the wand you are used to is lost or damaged, it will become very uncomfortable to replace it with a new one, and it will be far less comfortable to use than before.
In addition, there are very few people or families in the entire magic world who are capable of making wands, and they rarely communicate with each other on weekdays. This eventually led to the emergence of the metaphysical theory of Ollivander's Wand Shop.
After a lot of fiddling with it, Zuo Si’s wand was completely different from when he first bought it.
Whether it is the material of the wood or the core inside it, everything has been modified and Mr. Ollivander cannot even recognize it in person.
In addition, Zuo Si also carved many amazingly powerful magic runes inside the wand to enhance the effect of guiding and condensing magic energy.
After feeling the power of this "magically modified" wand for a while, Zuo Si put it back with satisfaction, then opened a book of "Standard Spells" and read it with relish.
There was still more than a month before the start of school, and he planned to go through all the spells from first grade to sixth grade.
Any spell that can be recorded in [Standard Spells] is usually not very powerful, and the danger is also very low.
For Zuo Si, who has a rich reserve of magic knowledge, it is basically not too difficult.
The reason why I chose to enter Hogwarts instead of other magic schools was actually for the huge library and restricted book area of this castle.
After completing the entrance ceremony and becoming a new student, he promised to live there on the first night until he had read all the magic books.
More than a month is neither long nor short.
Zuo Si used this period of time to sort out the magic system of this world, and sure enough he found that personal emotions and will played a huge role in it.
For example, when releasing the Patronus Charm, one must desperately think of the happiest moment in memory.
Without sufficient happiness, the spell cannot be cast.
The same principle applies to the often used Iron Armor Curse.
The stronger the awareness of protecting oneself when this spell is released, the stronger the force field formed around the body will be and the more difficult it will be to be broken by other spells.
In short, unlike Faerun mages who emphasize calmness, rationality, and keeping a clear mind, the wizards in this world are often able to exert unimaginable power when they are emotionally agitated.
This also explains very well why the ancient magic released by Harry Potter's mother before her death successfully deflected the Death Curse, making her the first and only person to die. The lucky ones who survived the killing curse.
“In addition to one’s own magic power, does it also have strong will and emotional factors? Does this mean that the magical energy in this world will be affected by strong emotions? Or does it mean that strong enough emotions will trigger one’s own soul? Resonance with the surrounding magical energy?" Zuo Si sat at the desk and muttered to himself with interest.
There is no doubt that this is a new research direction and topic.
If he understands it, then many magics will be more powerful and lethal when he casts them.
