Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

In order to find the answer, Anduin immediately rushed to the instrument to check the experimental recording just now.

After continuous playback, Anduin finally confirmed that the magic power reached about 40% of the rune array's operation progress when an abnormality occurred.

"In other words, there is a problem with the rune pattern." Anduin nodded secretly, "It seems that the drawing needs further modification."

Then Anduin looked at Xiatiya again, "How did it feel overall when controlling that wizard just now?"

"It went very smoothly at the beginning." Xiatiya recalled seriously, "It should be said that it was smoother than expected, even smoother than when I usually cast spells. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be easy, as if there was no obstacle at all."

"Easy? It seems similar to when I cast a spell on that wizard." Anduin nodded knowingly, then continued to ask, "Then what did it feel like when the problem occurred?"

"Um... that feeling is hard to describe." Xiatiya pondered for a moment, "If we assume that magic power is a person, then originally my magic power was like running on a very smooth road, and then suddenly resistance appeared in front of me, like suddenly crashing into water."

But then Xiatiya shook her head again, "No... it should be said that the resistance, the state of moving in water, is what normal magic power should be like when running. When magic power runs along the rune route you described, it will be much more transparent. When it loses control, it suddenly returns to a normal state."

"I see, returning from a high-energy state to normal, and the conflict in magic power transmission caused the loss of control?" Anduin combined the previously obtained experimental data and gradually understood the reason for the experiment's failure.

First of all, it can be determined that there is no problem with the combination of the three Holy Relics. The four nodes correspond to the positions of the three Deathly Hallows.

And after the three Deathly Hallows are connected together, they will put the holder in a special state. In this state, the wizard cannot be touched by entities, but can strengthen magic power and magic.

Moreover, this strengthening may be bidirectional, not only strengthening the holder but also strengthening the influence of external spells.

If summarized from the level of combat, a wizard in this state is like a glass cannon. His own spellcasting ability can be enhanced, but his magic defense will also become extremely low.

The reason for the experiment's failure was still due to the runes drawn by Anduin.

Because too much time had passed, the rune route map on Ignatius's bones had more or less some omissions.

If only one side had a gap, it would be fine. After all, this drawing is symmetrical from left to right. You only need to mirror a copy according to the format on the other side.

But some places have gaps on both the left and right sides at the same time, so Anduin can only restore it by guessing based on the rune structure in other areas.

In addition to the 40% area on the route map, there are three other such gaps later.

"It's another big project. I don't know if the current materials are enough." Anduin smiled bitterly helplessly. He had done this kind of rune repair work before.

Most of these repairs can only use the exhaustive method, constantly trying and making mistakes to find the correct structure.

From the current point of view, once there is a problem with the Deathly Hallows experiment, the wizard responsible for the test will face life danger, and it is very likely that they will not be saved.

Thinking of this, Anduin couldn't help but have a headache. He was now starting to wonder whether to continue the research, because it was possible that he would not be able to get a complete spell even after he had exhausted all the experimental materials.

But Anduin shook his head decisively. Now is not the time to give up. The strange state entered by the complete Deathly Hallows may seem a bit useless, but it may have other values ​​that he does not yet understand.

"If the technology for restoring runes cannot be optimized, then we can only optimize the experimental methods."

Anduin pondered for a while and decided to try to start with the experimental materials. As long as the consumption of materials can be reduced as much as possible, it is possible to continue this experiment.

Immediately afterwards, Anduin did not rush to start the next round of testing. Instead, he took out his enchanting tools and a small piece of magic metal and made an alchemy prop on the spot.

"Xiatiya, let's start the second experiment, but remember to have the test subject swallow it." Anduin handed the newly made alchemy prop to the vampire girl.

"This is?" After Xiatiya took it, she found that it was just a metal block no bigger than a candy. The shape was quite rough. People who didn't know it would think it was garbage picked up from somewhere.

"I have enchanted it with a multi-ring incapacitation spell. Since it cannot be removed from the outside, let's try it from the inside."

The only way Anduin can think of now, besides this, is to directly cast an incapacitation spell on the test subject from the outside.

However, because the original spells of the incapacitation spell and the absorption spell have not been translated, only Anduin can use them so far.

But the incapacitation spell used by wizards has a certain limit. Even Anduin cannot drain a wizard's magic power in just a few seconds.

Therefore, he always makes it into alchemy props. As long as enough runes are enchanted on the alchemy props, the incapacitation speed can be accelerated.

The small piece of metal he just handed to Xiatiya is not a cheap item that can be found everywhere. It is an ounce of 'Lemei Alloy'.

At the same time, Anduin had just inscribed 10 incapacitation runes on it. As long as it can be activated remotely, it can instantly drain the magic power of an adult wizard.

And if this method is effective, it may be possible to save the life of the experimental material, which also means that continuous experiments can be carried out.

Immediately afterwards, Xiatiya followed Anduin's instructions to conduct the second round of testing. Anduin also slightly adjusted the erroneous rune when drawing the runes.

Soon, the second experiment came to the 40% progress point again. As expected, the wizard who was the test subject experienced magic power conflict again.

This time, Anduin did not kill the opponent directly, but remotely activated the alchemy prop in the opponent's body. At the same time, he also used the incapacitation spell to try to empty the opponent's magic power.

Sure enough, this method had a miraculous effect. The multiple incapacitation spells drained the test subject's magic power in just a few seconds, and the magic power riot was successfully quelled.

"Very good!" Anduin clenched his fists excitedly, "With this method, we don't have to worry about the experimental materials being consumed too quickly."

Immediately afterwards, after Anduin took out the Lemei alloy in the experimental material's body and threw the opponent back into the nutrient cabin to rest, he replaced another experimental subject to conduct the next round of testing.

By repeating this continuously, at least ten experiments can be conducted in one night.

By the next day, the magic power of those test subjects can also be replenished. At this rate, Anduin will be able to restore the real spell in a few months.

...

While Anduin was continuously conducting human experiments, the celebration outside the castle was also coming to an end.

The four wizards who cleared [Despair Town] had just returned from the dungeon and were surrounded in the middle of the crowd, just like those rare stars.

Percy and Wood and others were obviously a little flattered. They were originally exhausted from clearing the dungeon, but seeing everyone so enthusiastic, their spirits also became excited.

"Percy and the others are really popular. Damn it, we should have been the first to clear the dungeon!" Ron looked at Percy, who was surrounded by layers of people, and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

"That's right, instead of envying them, it's better to think about how to catch up. We have been stuck in the second ring for a long time." Although Harry was very envious of Percy and the others' treatment, he was very clear-headed.

"I think we still have to spend more time developing. Before the equipment is formed, we can't defeat those three elite demons at all." Compared to others, Neville was more concerned about specific tactics.

"But Percy and the others' strategy is to quickly advance the progress and keep their condition as good as possible. I think we should learn their tactics." Harry had a different opinion on this.

"But we are not Percy and Wood. Their original combat power is very strong. We can't learn that kind of tactic at all." Hermione retorted in a timely manner.

Seeing his companions studying the tactics with relish, Ron next to him became even more depressed, "It's so annoying. My attributes have not shown any signs of improvement so far. I really don't know when I can act with you."

Seeing Ron's disappointment, Harry quickly comforted, "Don't always be discouraged. Your current goal is to keep training. I believe your attributes will be improved soon. Moreover, your attributes are the most average among us. Maybe you can raise all attributes to three stars at the same time. Then you can play a bigger role than you think."

"That's right!" Hermione nodded in agreement, "Actually, not only you, but maybe we have to increase the intensity of training. In fact, our attributes are the most important factor in clearing the dungeon. The reason why everyone has no progress now may be because the ability gap is too large."

"But since we took training classes with the third grade, the training intensity has been much greater." Ron trembled when he recalled Anduin's training of them, "And I can't enter the dungeon, so there is no place to practice."

"By the way..." Neville next to him suddenly looked at Ron, "Although you can't enter [Despair Town], you can try to enter the ruins dungeon more often. This way, you can also bring Ginny. Her strength is actually very good."

"I don't want him to bring me!"

While the others were talking, Ginny suddenly came closer and smiled triumphantly, "I already have my own fixed team, Susan, Hannah, Luna and me!"

"Oh? How does it feel to wander in the ruins dungeon?" Hermione was very close to Ginny. Seeing her coming, she quickly leaned over.

"It's just like that, there's no challenge at all." Ginny shook her head dismissively, "Those skeletons are like idiots, and it's not interesting to clean them up."

"It seems you are adapting very well." Harry looked at Ginny in surprise, "But you have only been in school for a month, and you haven't learned many spells. Don't you feel tired fighting those skeletons?"

"Fighting doesn't have to be done with spells. Just rush up and chop it when you see an enemy." Ginny shrugged indifferently, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

"Is that so..."

Seeing Ginny acting so tough, everyone around thought she was bragging and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ginny is indeed not weak, especially in close combat." Neville next to him suddenly confirmed for Ginny, "Before I entered school, our record was only 60-40."

"What?"

Harry and Hermione opened their mouths into an O shape in surprise. They originally thought that Ginny only had higher attributes, but they didn't expect her combat power to be so strong.

But then the two felt relieved. Since the other party was Anduin's goddaughter, it was not surprising that she could master combat skills in advance.

Ginny, seeing this, spread her small hands indifferently, "It's just that Neville is too stupid. He has to spend more time to master some training content."

"Then you are also very amazing!" Hermione leaned next to Ginny excitedly, "If you can quickly raise your attributes, we might be able to form a small team to challenge [Despair Town]."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ron glared at Hermione dissatisfied, "If you want to dislike me, just say it. I haven't returned to the team yet, and you are already looking for a replacement?"

"Tch, why are you so stingy? Ginny is a combat power comparable to Neville. With her joining, we have more chances to clear the dungeon, right?" Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron.

Ron was immediately angry when he saw this, but just as he was about to continue arguing with Hermione, Harry suddenly interrupted, "Don't quarrel, look, Percy is out!"

Everyone heard the words and saw that the gathered team had gradually dispersed. Percy and the others in the center had now dealt with those admirers and were walking in their direction.

"Let's go! Let's go over and ask about the points. Aren't you interested?" Harry greeted everyone and then leaned towards the other party.

Hermione, Ron, Neville and Ginny were immediately aroused by Harry's curiosity. They still didn't know what rewards the so-called points could be exchanged for.

"Points reward?" Percy heard the question from a few people and did not respond immediately. Instead, he carefully looked around, "Yes, we have already seen it after the dungeon is over, and it is indeed very exciting."

"Oh? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and show it to us!" Ron couldn't wait to lean next to his brother, staring at Percy with burning eyes.

"What are you in a hurry for? There are too many people here. Have you forgotten that the professor asked us to keep this a secret?" Percy smiled and shook his head, then nodded towards the castle, "It's almost curfew time. Let's go to the common room."

Immediately afterwards, a group of people followed Percy and headed towards the castle mightily.

At this moment, in a corner not far from the crowd, a house elf wearing ragged clothes made of pillowcases was staring at everyone with wide eyes, muttering words like 'Mr. Potter, there is danger'.
