Harry Potter Hello Dark Lord
Chapter Eleven: Duka Stephan
After the incident in Diagon Alley a month ago, Qin Weijie felt a sense of urgency and fear in his heart. This sense of urgency and fear forced Qin Weijie to have the ability to protect himself as soon as possible.
But right now, magic is the closest way for him.
Of course, he also thought about trying to learn the Taoist spells that his master left for him, but after several attempts, Qin Weijie did not notice any changes at all, and he was not sure whether it had any effect.
In the end, I simply put aside the art of spells and concentrated on studying magic.
Magic is not a single subject, but a complex whole of countless disciplines. It is a research method intended to understand the origin of the world.
Magic has a long history, much older than science. It is so old that there is no evidence for it. Its subject is very complex. Many places overlap with existing science, and some places deviate far away.
After learning about magic, Qin Weijie suddenly found that he could not distinguish the boundary between magic and science.
Even in Qin Weijie's opinion, if magic and science continue to develop, one day the two will meet at one place. When the two meet, the boundaries of the four-dimensional space will be broken.
If he had to find out the essential difference between magic and science today, with Qin Weijie's current simple understanding of magic theory, he would only be able to say two words - magic
The basis of all magic comes from "magic power"
"Magic" is the innate power of wizards. Only those with "magic" can be called wizards and can perform magic.
Although there are many categories of magic disciplines, they are all inseparable from the guidance of magic.
Charm science requires magic power to guide the wand to perform magic, the configuration of potions also requires magic power as a guide, divination science requires magic power to access "spiritual vision", and transfiguration science requires magic power to change the arrangement and properties of cells.
Everything in magical civilization is inseparable from magic power, just like everything in human modern scientific and technological civilization is inseparable from electricity.
From an analysis point of view, it is just that the power of wizards comes from themselves, while the power of Muggles comes from external forces. It is difficult to say which one is better and which one is worse. Which one is strong and which one is weak also depends on the situation.
"Hey, who is strong and who is weak is just a matter of wizards looking at the strength of their magic power, and Muggles looking at the strength of their firepower." Qin Weijie understands this personally.
As for magic power, it is also divided into levels.
Most of the works introduce:
Wizards will awaken their magic power after the age of 3 and before they are 10 years old. After the age of 10, they will no longer be able to awaken their magic power. The specific reason is unknown.
And this is also the fundamental reason why all magic schools require students to enter at the age of eleven.
Because it is destined to be impossible to awaken magic power after the age of 10, there is no need to enter a magic school to learn to control magic power.
Almost all wizards have extremely unstable magic power when they first awaken, and they will always leak magic power unconsciously due to emotional fluctuations.
Of course, there are exceptions. Some wizards are born with perfect drive ability and can extremely control the leakage of magic power. These people are generally called geniuses.
Magic power will grow with the wizard from the day of awakening, and will enter a period of rapid growth of magic power after the age of ten.
During this period, as the age increases, the magic power of the wizard will become stronger and stronger.
Of course, there are limits to the growth of magic power.
After a wizard reaches adulthood at the age of seventeen, the growth of magic power will stagnate. Most wizards' magic power will also stop here. Only a very small number of gifted wizards will continue to grow, but they will not exceed the age of twenty.
This golden decade of magical growth also creates the level of magical power.
Qin Weijie learned from the book "Basics of Contemporary Magic Theory":
In today's magic world, magic is generally classified into ten levels. The first seven levels can basically correspond to the magic power of most wizards from one to seven years old. Level seven is also the magic level of most wizards in today's magic world. Wizards who exceed level seven can do it.
Be awarded the title of "Grand Magician" and can apply to join the Wizengamot.
Although he understood that wizards' magic power was divided into levels, Qin Weijie still didn't know the meaning of these levels.
In other words, they don’t understand the intensity of each level of magic power and the functional capabilities of each level.
For this reason, Qin Weijie read a lot of basic magic books, but to be honest, it is too cumbersome to search for a knowledge point in so many books.
Qin Weijie: "Although I have become accustomed to the lifestyle of this era, I still prefer the days with the Internet..."
Finally, after nearly a week of traveling in the sea of books, Qin Weijie finally found the answer in a book "An Introduction to Magic".
"First of all, I want to explain that I do not agree with the classification of magic power levels recognized in the magic world today, at least partially..."
The author of this book begins with this sentence, which seems extremely deviant.
"As for the recognized classification of magic power levels, I only agree with the first seven levels. After many years of research by my team and I, we found that the wizard's magic power is in the first seven levels, and the growth of each level of magic power is three times that of the previous level.
When the eighth level of magic power, the ninth level of magic power, and the tenth level of magic power are divided, they are only 1, 2, and 3 times that of the seventh level of magic power."
"This is in no way in line with the laws of magic, so I think that the current tenth level of magic can only be regarded as the eighth level of magic. And after our research, we found that there are improvements above the eighth level of magic (what they call the tenth level of magic).
space."
"My colleague Piusas Quill used Eastern 'meditation' to improve his magic power after he was twenty years old, and surpassed the eighth level of magic power (the recognized tenth level of magic power). Therefore, we believe that magic power
The limit of magic is not the eighth level of magic (the recognized tenth level of magic), and we will continue to use other methods to explore the boundaries of magic in the future."
"Readers who want to know more about the improvement of magic power can look forward to our next book "The Source of Magic Power", which is expected to be officially published in five months."
After closing "Introduction to Magic", Qin Weijie took a special look at the publication date - the first edition in June 1928.
"A book from ten years ago? There should be a follow-up called "The Source of Magic"."
With that said, Qin Weijie sent an owl letter to Flourish and Blott Bookstore, and a reply came from Flourish and Blott Bookstore that afternoon.
The book "The Source of Magic" was not included with the letter.
The letter from Flourishes and Blotts only stated that no relevant books could be found, and attached a bunch of apologetic nonsense.
That night Qin Weijie opened "An Introduction to Magic" again. The author of this book is named Duca Stephen. The author's introduction column states that he graduated from Hogwarts in 1910, then entered the Ministry of Magic, and served as the Ministry of Magic in 1925.
Chairman of the Experimental Spells Committee, he served as Director of the Department of Mysteries in 1927. In 1928, he left the Ministry of Magic to teach at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When writing this book, he was serving as the leader of the curriculum research group at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, working closely with magicians.
Theory course professor.
Although the current Qin Weijie, a novice in magic, cannot confirm whether the theory proposed by Duka Stephen is consistent with the facts, Qin Weijie is still very interested in him.
As for the reason, that is, in more than a month, Qin Weijie read a lot of books (at least fifteen books on magic theory), and only Duca Stephen's book frequently mentioned the East.
Duca Stephen himself is very fascinated by things in the Eastern Kingdom. He believes that the future of magic lies in the East and the secrets of magic are also hidden in the East.
He himself even highly praised Eastern yoga, meditation and Chinese meditation, and he believed that all of them were beneficial to magic.
Moreover, in Qin Weijie's view, Duka Stephen is the only objective scholar who does not advocate social Darwinism and pure-blood supremacy. Theories such as pure-blood supremacy and racial differences have never appeared in his works.
In other magic theory books, there are some "pure-blood wizards are more suitable for performing magic", "the growth of magic power of white people far exceeds that of black and yellow people", "magic originated in the West, and it is God who guides us to educate the world".
Such remarks...
Qin Weijie himself was extremely disgusted with this. Only Duka Stephen's book could be regarded as an objective study of magic theory, so Qin Weijie was even more interested in his works.
But it is a pity that Qin Weijie only saw one copy of "An Introduction to Magic" by Duca Stephen, and this was found in the corner of the library of Welfare Manor.
After several days of searching, nothing was found, so Qin Weijie temporarily put aside the search for Duka Stephen's subsequent works.
Continue to invest in other studies.
For more than a month, Qin Weijie has practiced simple magic every day in addition to reading books.
I don’t know if it’s because of his extraordinary talent, but all the magic spells recorded in the book are basically not difficult for Qin Weijie. Of course, he has only studied the first-year spells and defense against dark arts books.
As for other books, Qin Weijie basically didn't read them.
Qin Weijie knew exactly what he needed, and all he wanted was to gain some self-protection ability.
Just tell me, how do you protect yourself after learning astronomy?
Summon a meteorite to kill the opponent?
Then it's not an astronomy class, but a forbidden spells class.
…
One day in March 1938, Qin Weijie was reading in his study as usual. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Qin Weijie temporarily put down the book at hand.
"Master Welfare, today's Daily Prophet and Times, and I have prepared some black tea for you." Mrs. Carter's voice came in from outside the door.
"Bring it in."
Reading newspapers and drinking black tea every day has become Qin Weijie's job recently.
What is this? Enjoy your retirement early?
Mrs. Carter put down the tea and newspaper: "Do you need anything else?"
"It's not necessary for now, Mrs. Carter. You can go about your business."
"Okay, Master Welfare."
Mrs. Carter smiled gently and briefly helped Qin Weijie tidy up the messy desk.
Just then, a gray owl flew in from the window.
Mrs. Carter hurriedly put down her work and took the envelope from the owl's mouth.
"Master Foley, this is a letter from Mr. Marquis. He asked me to inform you that he will send someone to pick you up tonight to attend an important banquet at Foley Castle. I think I have to prepare your clothes for tonight."
Saying this, Mrs. Carter hurriedly turned around and left.
Qin Weijie glanced at the clock beside him: "Oh my god, it's only nine o'clock in the morning and you started preparing clothes for me? Are you sure you're not making a dress for me from scratch?"
Qin Weijie shook his head helplessly, put down the book in his hand, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of black tea, and picked up today's newspaper.
The front page of The Times, a photo of Hitler giving a speech, with the Heroes' Square in Vienna, the Austrian capital, in the background
"It's already March 16th, has Austria been annexed? The real chaos is about to begin. It's ridiculous that these British politicians are still helping Hitler to wave the flag... The century-old British Empire, the myth that the sun never sets, the giant is about to
Fallen."
