One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 225 Magic Duel

Hogwarts headmaster's office.

Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, looking at the note that suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air in his hand, with a very confused expression on his old face.

Because he really didn't know what kind of magic it was that could send a note from an unknown place to Hogwarts, which was protected by countless magics.

In fact, so far, no one in the wizarding world has invented a spell that can communicate remotely and deliver items.

Otherwise, the wizards would not bother to tame owls to deliver letters and packages.

If someone does it, there is a high probability that they will be awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class.

After all, this is a feat capable of overturning and changing the means of communication in the entire magic world, and it is of course praised by everyone and given due honors and rewards.

But now, someone actually used such admirable 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 dared to challenge Albus Dumbledore, and he was recognized as the greatest wizard of the contemporary era. Numbers are omitted.

Even Tom Riddle, who claimed to be Voldemort and the Mysterious Man, still dared not take half a step closer to Hogwarts when he was in control of the entire British wizarding world.

The reason was that he was not sure of defeating his former teacher, the professor who brought him from the orphanage to the magic world.

But now, when everything calmed down, a person who wanted to challenge himself suddenly appeared, which really made Dumbledore unable to understand.

If the other party hadn't used an unprecedented magic, and the note appeared out of thin air in front of his face, he would probably have laughed it off as some mischievous student's prank.

"Who will it be?"

The old man with a gray beard who was over a hundred years old showed a very curious expression.

However, he did not bother the professors who were busy teaching students and recruiting newborns for the second half of this year. Instead, he picked up his wand and left Hogwarts Castle quietly, planning to follow the address left on the note. To meet each other.

As the most powerful wizard of contemporary magic, Dumbledore was never afraid of any challenge, and the courage of the lion of Gryffindor House flowed in his veins.

After leaving the range protected by the magic of the castle, he quickly cast an apparition to instantly move to the designated location.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately noticed several figures in cloaks and hoods.

Because he covered his face, Dumbledore couldn't see the other person's appearance and age clearly. He could only feel a weird aura that was not easy to describe in words, just like in the Hogwarts castle. Like those ghosts.

You don't need to ask to know that these people are the liches who just came through the portal from Faerun Continent.

As for Zuo Si himself, he blessed himself with advanced invisibility, stood silently on the top of a tree, and provided these subordinates with the magic net environment necessary for casting spells.

Through a simple test, he has realized that the occupations bound to the land cards can still function after leaving the original world. The root cause is that when the land cards take effect, they will form a certain range of magic environment overlapping around them.

That is to say, it can satisfy the spell-casting environment of the world where the land card is located, and will not affect the spell-casting environment of the current world.

The higher the level of the land card, the larger the range of influence will naturally be.

At the very beginning, the LV2 floating city tower could at best affect the surrounding distance within a range of less than 400 meters.

It's just that the creator profession itself does not have the ability to cast spells. It mainly creates various magic items and wonders, so it is not obvious about this aspect.

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 about ten kilometers in radius from the Planeswalker himself.

This also means that once this distance is exceeded, all kinds of magic and magic 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 limited to a radius of ten kilometers.

For example, it can maintain extreme cold weather such as blizzard, strong wind and hail for one to three consecutive months within a maximum range of tens of kilometers [Finbul Winter];

Another example is [Heaven's Doomsday], which summons darkness and destructive energy into the world and destroys everything within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

As for the fifth ring [Teleportation], which can easily teleport thousands of kilometers away, now it can only move the limit distance of ten kilometers at a time.

In short, the higher the level of spellcasting and the greater the range of influence of high-level or even legendary spells mastered, the more restrictive and restrictive the land cards that are not high enough 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 level up the land card [Floating City Tower] to see if there would be some special abilities after LV7, Dumbledore finally broke the silence and asked, "Are you all?" who?"

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that we will beat you here. Come on, stop talking nonsense, let's use magic to talk."

Jeffrey was the first to stand up.

As the veteran of the organization, he paid a considerable "price" to grab this "starter" position from his friends.

After all, I have witnessed the extremely developed science and technology on the earth, the terrifying urban clusters formed by tens of millions of people, the tall buildings with no end in sight, and the trains and cars that can run without magic. After , airplanes, and 10,000-ton giant ships, he is full of expectations for the heights that magic in this world can achieve.

After all, even ordinary people can reach that level, no matter how few spellcasters there are, they should be able to reach the same level.

"I wouldn't mind a magical duel. But where's your wand?"

Dumbledore cast his eyes on the other's empty hands.

In his opinion, these people in front of him had a strange aura everywhere, and his Legilimency could not read any memories, emotions and thoughts from each other at all.

It was as if they were not facing a group of people, but cold and lifeless puppets or corpses.

In fact, Dumbledore guessed right.

As an undead creature, the existence of a lich has already broken away from the category of "living".

Not to mention a mere 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 ordinary people see is only the body controlled by the soul of the lich, and it is only problematic to be able to read memory, emotion and thinking.

Jeffrey didn't talk nonsense, and directly raised his hands while doing complicated spell-casting movements, while chanting spells that ordinary people couldn't understand at all.

In the blink of an eye, he blessed himself with a seven-ring [Spell Reversal].

After finishing all this, he raised his chin slightly and said, "Magic wand? I don't need to rely on that kind of thing to assist in casting spells."

"Casting spells without a staff?!"

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Although he didn't recognize the spell that the other party cast just now, the strong magic wave couldn't be faked.

Moreover, in today's wizarding world, there are only a handful of wizards who have mastered the technique of casting spells without a wand.

But no one can match up with the mysterious man in front of him.

But Jeffrey, who is eager to understand the magic system of this world, doesn't care about this. After blessing himself with a few protective magics in advance, he eagerly urged: "Do you want to have a magic duel with me?"

"Of course! In fact, I have been prepared for a long time. You can attack at any time." Dumbledore responded with a smile on his face.

As a master of silent and wandless spellcasting, the moment he heard the opponent chanting a spell, he subconsciously blessed himself with the Iron Armor Curse.

"In that case, I will not be polite."

As he said that, Jeffrey bowed gracefully to his opponent in accordance with the tradition of magic duels in Faerun.

Seeing this, Dumbledore politely raised his wand in return.

The moment the two of them stood up almost at the same time, the former raised his hand first and shot five magic missiles that shone with dim light from his fingertips.

There is no doubt that this is a super magic skill - instant spell casting.

This never-before-seen spell caught Dumbledore's eyes, and immediately raised his wand to release Apparition, flashing from one place to another.

But just when he thought he had avoided those beautiful magic light clusters, he suddenly saw the thrown away missiles draw a beautiful arc in mid-air, catching up as if they had eyes.

After casting several apparitions in a row, Dumbledore finally realized that it was a magic with automatic tracking ability 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 forcefully eat five magic missiles with the armor curse on his body.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Dumbledore's originally relaxed expression finally changed as the missile hit the invisible energy stand and shone brightly.

Just five magic missiles had a great impact on the armor curse he released by himself.

Obviously, if there is no protection, any wizard may be killed by these seemingly inconspicuous little energy balls.

"Who are you guys?"

Dumbledore asked the question again.

But this time, his tone and attitude were obviously different.

It's a pity that Jeffrey didn't want to communicate with the other party at all, and sneered and mocked directly: "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 will Guaranteed you will regret it."

"There are many obstacles!"

Dumbledore didn't talk nonsense, and immediately chose to wave his wand to fight back with practical actions.

But unfortunately, this spell was instantly bounced back by [Spell Reversal], causing him to fall into a sluggish moment.

Seeing this, Jeffrey immediately shook his head in disappointment, completed the advanced dispel magic at an extremely fast speed, and directly removed the armor curse from Dumbledore's body.

Immediately following the last two seconds before the effect of the Obstacle Curse disappeared, the third ring [Exhaustion Ray] was completed.

When the terrifying light beam hit the moment, Dumbledore's face suddenly became extremely pale and painful, and his already very old body seemed to die at any moment, and even his breathing became extremely weak.

However, after regaining his ability to move, he quickly cast some kind of recovery spell on himself with silent casting, and he recovered in just a second or two.

At the same time, the sorcerer known as the most powerful wizard of the time immediately used the transformation spell, turning the towering trees next to him into giant treants who could walk.

After the latter was awakened, he immediately rushed to where the lich was.

"Transformation? Summoning? Interesting..."

Jeffrey's eyes shone slightly, and his mental state became extremely excited.

Because this is the magic duel he was looking forward to, not the unilateral crushing he gave to the opponent.

But before these trees approached, a flaming wall of flames appeared out of thin air on the path that the tree man must pass.

All the treants who passed through were quickly ignited and burned violently in the next second, and after a while, they turned into puddles of large firewood that fell on the ground.

In the next few minutes, Dumbledore finally showed the brilliance of the world's magic system.

That is, no preparation is required, and no memory is required.

As long as there is enough magic in the body, you can cast any spell you have learned at will.

And the effects of many spells may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but they play an extraordinary role in actual combat.

Especially the Stopping Curse, it seems that to a certain extent, it can have the effect of dispelling magic, advanced dispelling magic, and even an anti-magic force field.

Jeffrey's several high-level spells were countered in this way.

With Dumbledore's full firepower, the Lich's spell slots began to be consumed continuously, and finally gradually lost.

Just when he was about to turn the situation around with his wand, scrolls and the magic items he carried with him, Vanessa immediately stopped him and said, "Enough! You have already lost this spell duel, don't embarrass us."

"Damn it!"

Jeffrey couldn't help cursing in a low voice, but still reluctantly stopped casting spells, and said to the old man standing not far away: "You won this game! But don't be complacent, I still There are many hole cards that are restricted and cannot be used. What's more, I am not the strongest one among them."

"Your magic and spells are very strange. Almost every one of them is unheard of and unseen. Even the Hogwarts library can't find even a little bit of 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 plausible and full of mysteries, the other party did not have any malicious intent or killing intent.

And there is always room to spare throughout the mage duel.

Otherwise, it would not be as simple as being slightly injured and bleeding at this moment.

Normally, a wizard with such strength should definitely not be unknown.

What's more, it can be basically judged from the other party's dressing, dressing and behavioral style that this should be a small group or a small organization.

"You don't need to inquire about our identities and origins, and you don't need to worry about what we do to endanger 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 it is worthy of such praise, that's all."

Vanessa put it bluntly.

Because when he saw Dumbledore bleeding, he knew he had done his job.

At the same time, through the observation just now, the Lich also discovered a remarkable feature of the spellcasting of "wizards" in this world. Different spells need to mobilize different emotions and strong will.

The latter may even have 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 Geoffrey's seven-ring and even eight-ring spells.

Vanessa is very interested in the unique spellcasting methods and magic systems of wizards.

But he knows that this occasion is not suitable for discussing with the other party, but to hide his secret from another world.

As for the future, Zuo Si, as the leader of the organization, will naturally handle it properly.

"Just want to have a spell duel with me?"

With Dumbledore's suspicious character, he obviously didn't believe this statement.

If it weren't for Jeffrey's powerful spellcasting ability just now, and it is completely different from the current mainstream spellcasting method in the magic world.

He might even mistake these people in front of him for Voldemort's newly recruited Death Eaters.

Vanessa nodded lightly: "That's right! If you still have enough magic power, you can play another game with me. If you are tired, then go back and have a good rest for a few days. In the next week, We will all stay here and wait for you to come and fight the duel."

"What about a week later?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and tentatively cautiously.

"In a week's time, we will set off to go home. It is estimated that we will not appear in front of the world 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 magic organization in ancient times!"

Dumbledore's eyes widened in disbelief.

If this answer is correct, then everything makes sense.

Whether it is the opponent's spellcasting method that is completely different from modern magic, or a large number of spells that he does not know, they can all be classified as lost ancient magic.

After all, before the establishment of Hogwarts and other ancient schools of magic, that is, around 900 to 1000 AD, there was basically no such thing as the history of wizards.

At that time, all wizards were scattered all over the world, secretly conducting unknown secret research.

No one knows how many spells and potion formulas were invented by the wizards at that time, let alone how many of them were lost, and how many were handed down and gradually improved to become the current magic spells.

As for the state of the wizards in the thousands of years before that, modern wizards have no way of knowing.

We can only find the knowledge and wisdom left by the wizards of the ancient times from some ancient ruins such as the pyramids.

"That's what you think it is. 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 raised her hands and began to chant the spell loudly.

After a while, a door appeared out of nowhere in the open space.

The moment he stretched out his hand to open the door, Dumbledore saw gorgeous decorations, carpets and chandeliers on the other side of the door, as well as a large number of well-dressed servants.

On the long table in the distance, you can even see steaming meals being prepared.

But before he could ask a question, the liches filed into the mansion and slammed the door shut, completely cutting off communication with the outside world.

You don't need to ask to know that what Vanessa just performed is the famous [Mage's Mansion] in the seven-ring arcane art, also known as the [Magic Duncan Mansion].

Like [Mage's Sword] and [Great Crack], it was also invented by the most famous legendary mage in the Greyhawk world——Duncan.

It is said that even in the multiverse, most high-level mages will learn at least one spell invented and created by the magician Duncan, which shows how amazing his influence and scope are.

As a very curious old man, Dumbledore was obviously very interested in this door that appeared out of thin air and the mansion connected to the other side of the door.

He walked straight to the gate, raised his wand and said to the lock in a low voice: "Alahoo hole is open!"

Unfortunately, the door lock did not respond at all.

Seeing this scene, the old man who was over a hundred years old couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "Okay! I think this door should be blessed with some kind of powerful protective magic. It seems that the magic attainment level of these mysterious people Quite astonishing. Only a week is too short, otherwise I should have written to Nicole Flamel. I am sure he would be interested in these ancient magics and spells."

Obviously, the various performances and magical skills displayed by the liches completely convinced Albus Dumbledore, and made him believe that the other party was an ancient magical organization that had been passed down to this day and was isolated from the world.

After all, before this, the wizarding world had never been visited by intelligent creatures from other worlds.

Just like that, the headmaster of Hogwarts quickly used Apparition to disappear in place.

Now he needs to go back to school, ask Madam Pomfrey to treat some 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 to have a spell duel with these interesting ancient wizards.

If possible, it is best to exchange some knowledge of magic theory and the principles of spells.

Strive to let those very powerful magics be passed down in Hogwarts.

As soon as Dumbledore left, Zuo Si came out of his hiding place on his back, carefully got a little drop of blood from the ground on the weeds, and summoned "Legacy" to imitate without hesitation.

moment!

The blood that he had just obtained from his hand was immediately absorbed by the skin, and the most important part of it was integrated into the body and blood vessels.

In about a few seconds, a very weird energy began to expand rapidly in the body.

Fortunately, Zuo Si discovered it quickly and suppressed this energy through the power of sparks in time.

Otherwise, it will definitely trigger violent magic eruptions and fluctuations.

And the eruption of magic power will be 100% recorded in the admission list of Hogwarts that is blessed with powerful magic power.

Maybe it also includes the specific time and place.

If it happened to be seen by Dumbledore at that time, the fun would be great.

After this irresistible impulse was suppressed, Zuo Si breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time saw that there was an extra [Wizard (Dumbledore family blood) - LV1] in the column of his mimicry occupation, and his face A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on the table.

After a while, the liches who hid in the [Mage Mansion] just now opened the door and came out.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he immediately asked without turning his head: "How, what is your evaluation of the world's greatest contemporary wizard?"

"Well... I think his strength is very close to that of a legendary mage, and in some areas he even reached the level of a legendary mage.

For example, the teleportation magic (apparition) that can be cast repeatedly in an instant without any restrictions.

But the damage caused by various magic is slightly insufficient.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that he didn't use those powerful spells, just like Jeffrey didn't use his best summoning, charm and control spells.

Also, the spell that stops most spells is weird, and it's cast very quickly.

If there is no way to crack it, it may be difficult to pose a substantial threat to it.

And I discovered that the world's self-proclaimed wizards and spellcasters rely heavily on that little weapon called a wand in their hands.

Especially the one in Dumbledore's hand, the intensity of the arcane aura is almost catching up with many legendary magic items. "

After a little thought, Vanessa quickly gave her own judgment.

"So are you confident that you can defeat him in a one-on-one spell duel?" Zuo Si turned around and smiled playfully.

Vanessa replied without thinking: "If I let my hands and feet go, I'm 60% sure that I can defeat it.

After all, in terms of spell diversity and lethality, Faerun's magic system is much more complicated than this world, and it is also much more dangerous.

What's more, the headmaster Dumbledore's body is already very weak, and I just know a few necromancer magic that can accelerate aging.

Coupled with mental arithmetic and inadvertence, my chances of winning should be quite high.

What, are you going to do something to him? "

Zuo Si immediately shook his head: "No, of course not. I'm just confirming the height he can reach in the magic field, as well as the threat level.

But it doesn't matter now.

Because I have already got the ticket to enter the magic circle of this world.

In the next week, you can accompany Dumbledore to finish the play before you can go back.

I will take care of the rest one by one. "

"Don't you need our help to collect all kinds of knowledge, technology and magic in this world?"

Geoffrey has clearly come to love this world and is a bit reluctant to go back.

"No. And your identities and spellcasting methods are too sensitive, I don't want to make too much noise.

What's more, the reason why you are able to 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 net in minutes, and you may not even be able to perform a low-level trick by then. "

Zuo Si unceremoniously rejected Jeffrey's idea of ​​staying.

At least until the incompatibility of the casting environment is resolved, these liches have no way to leave him and act alone.

"The magic systems and spellcasting environments in different worlds are very different, and it is indeed a difficult problem to be solved."

Vanessa rubbed her chin with a thoughtful expression.

Fortunately, the Lich is immortal, and he has almost unlimited time to overcome all difficulties bit by bit.

In this way, the Liches communicated (physically) with Dumbledore in this unknown place for a whole week.

Until the liches left this world, the latter didn't know that what he was facing was actually a group of undead creature spellcasters from another world, let alone learned a single spell in the battle.

Even though Dumbledore himself memorized some so-called "spells" and tried to use them after returning, they all failed without exception.

Because if you want to release a spell in Faerun, it is not enough to just have the spell, you also need the corresponding spell-casting action and spell-casting materials.

Spells and spellcasting actions may be imitated, but casting materials are definitely not something that can be easily figured out.

Similarly, Vanessa and others did not disclose the magic system and creations of Faerun Continent.

It was just a few intense spell duels from start to finish.

As for Zuo Si, in addition to providing the necessary environmental support for casting spells, he also hid in the dark and memorized a few spells that the "principal" uttered 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, Fiendfire and other amazingly lethal spells.

Otherwise, Zuo Si really wants to know whether "Avada chewing a big melon" is a negative energy spell in the necromantic system, or a magic that directly targets the soul in the legend, and whether it can kill the lich as an undead creature.

With the expectation of entering the magic world, he honestly stayed at his home for several months. Apart from a small-scale burst of magic power on his own initiative, he basically went to the British Library every day.

By touching the covers of the books on the bookshelves, I recorded the books one by one in my mind, and planned to wait until I went back so that I could communicate with the God of Knowledge.

But in the librarian's eyes, Zuo Si is undoubtedly a freak and an outlier.

Because he has never opened any book, and just walks along the bookshelf to touch the covers of those books every day, which makes people completely confused what he is doing.

Some of them are highly specialized books, which are not at all comprehensible for a boy.

Fortunately, he has never done any behavior or tendency to destroy books, so the administrator at best just followed behind and stared at him, and did not stop or expel him.

As the time came to July, when Zuo Si had just passed the so-called "birthday" and officially turned eleven years old, an owl messenger delivered an acceptance letter from Hogwarts as expected.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(President of the International Federation of Wizards, First Class Merlin, Great Magician, Chief Magician of the Wizengamot)

Dear Mr. South:

We are pleased to inform that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Enclosed is a list of required secretaries and equipment.

Semester is scheduled to start on September 1.

Someone from us will be there shortly to explain it to you and your family.

Vice Principal (Female)

Yours sincerely, 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 the key to enter the wizarding world has been obtained. I just don't know which professor will pick me up as a student from a Muggle family. Oh, I almost forgot, it's also time Called the guardian over to help."

After all, Zuo Si picked up the phone placed on the table and dialed one of the numbers.

In less than forty minutes, a white male policeman who appeared to be in his forties appeared at the door of the house.

Due to the fact that his memory has been slightly tampered with, he directly regarded Zuo Si as the orphan of a colleague who died during the mission, and quickly began to enter the role of guardian.

In just two or three days, a family atmosphere has been created.

About two weeks later, a thin man with straight hair, a large aquiline nose, and cold and unfathomable eyes appeared at the gate of the house.

He was wearing a black robe, and his skin was as pale as a vampire due to long-term exposure to light.

You don't need to ask to know that this is the famous "Love Saint", Professor Severus Snape, who is currently the professor of Potions at Hogwarts and the head of Slytherin House.

He raised his left hand and knocked on the door very rhythmically.

boom! boom! boom!

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 that it was a stranger, he immediately asked in an uncertain tone, "Excuse me... who are you?"

"Hello, sir. I am the professor at Hogwarts - Severus Snape. The children living in this house should have received an admission notice from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft some time ago Books. Since you are a Muggle family, the school sent me to give a brief explanation."

Snape assumed a businesslike air.

"Magic school? You are not liars, are you?" The white policeman suddenly showed vigilant eyes.

Since Zuo Si did not disclose any information from the beginning to the end, when he heard the word magic, his first reaction was to meet a liar.

Snape knew how difficult it was to convince a Muggle family of magic, so he just took out his wand and tapped the dried flowers on the table.

moment!

The entire bouquet of flowers seemed to go back in time, and once again returned to the vitality when it was just inserted into the vase more than a week ago.

"Oh—my God!"

The white policeman sat on the sofa with a plop, and fell into a daze.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly took out a flower, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then exclaimed: "Unbelievable! There is magic in this world! Why have I never heard of it before?"

Snape explained blankly: "Because the wizarding world has the Secrecy Act, it is forbidden to reveal even a little bit about magic to Muggles, that is, ordinary people like you who don't understand magic and have no relatives or friends of wizards. information.

Even if you know it occasionally, your memory will be washed away.

Well, about these things, after this child becomes a little wizard, you will naturally know bit by bit.

Now, let's talk about everything related to admission..."

Relying on his identity as a wizard and his powerful aura, Snape got rid of the nominal guardian in just a few minutes.

After confirming that Zuo Si was going to Hogwarts to study, the two parties quickly agreed on a time to go to Diagon Alley Street to exchange Muggle currency for wizard currency in order to purchase the books and tools on the list.

As for Zuo Si, she used her almost perfect acting skills to express a gifted child's yearning for the magical world.

After all, when he was in the high tower of the Floating Void City, he had maxed out his two skills of "acting" and "pretending to be tender".

Even Asta, the necromancer, couldn't see any flaws.

When Snape finished his work and left, Zuo Si directly kicked out the nominal guardian, and released the charm control, allowing him to return to his normal life.

The subsequent currency exchange and purchases also went quite smoothly.

Zuo Si didn't show any "money printing ability", but only exchanged enough for a semester's expenses, and didn't even glance at things that could attract the little wizard's attention, such as pets, owl messengers, and flying broomsticks. gone back.

Snape was clearly pleased with the restraint, maturity and intelligence he displayed.

The only pity is that the Sorting Hat hardly assigns young Muggle-born wizards to Slytherin students. If they are not pure-blooded, they must at least be mixed-blooded, so this is destined not to be a student of his college.

However, Snape didn't know the "excellent" students in his eyes. On the first night when he returned home, he dismantled the wand he bought from Ollivander's wand shop into "parts", and then rebuilt and enchanted it , Blessing all kinds of magic shielding detection.

Although Mr. Ollivander, who specializes in making and selling wands, always emphasizes that the master chooses the wand, and the wand also chooses the master.

But Zuo Si completely scoffed at this, and thought this kind of idea was as ridiculous as playing a card game and engaging in all kinds of metaphysics.

It's not even as good as a game player who engages in metaphysics.

At least the latter understands that the metaphysics he engages in is at best for psychological comfort, or simply "trench work".

After all, the wand is not a high-level activated magic item with intelligence and independent thinking ability, so there are so many problems.

It is simply a tool for strengthening 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 the core of the wand will gradually adapt to the characteristics of the owner's magic power during long-term use, gradually forming the so-called "human stick unity" feeling.

Once the used wand is lost or damaged, it will be very uncomfortable to replace it with a new wand, which is far less smooth than the previous one.

In addition, there are very few people or families capable of making wands in the entire magic world, and they don't communicate much on weekdays, which eventually led to the emergence of the metaphysical theory of Ollivander's wand shop.

After a lot of tossing, Zuo Si's wand is completely different from when she just bought it.

Whether it's the material of the wood or the core, Mr. Ollivander, who has been transformed, can't recognize it in person.

In addition, Zuo Si engraved many powerful magic runes inside the wand to strengthen the effect of guiding and condensing magical energy.

After feeling the power of this "magically modified" wand for a while, Zuo Si put it back with satisfaction, and then opened a book of "Standard Spells" and read it with relish.

There is still more than a month before the start of school, and he plans to go through all the spells from the first grade to the sixth grade directly.

All spells that can be recorded in [Standard Spells] are generally not very powerful, and the danger is also very low.

For Zuo Si, who has a wealth of magical knowledge, there is basically no difficulty.

The reason why I chose to enter Hogwarts instead of other wizarding schools is actually because of the huge library and restricted area of ​​​​the castle.

After completing the entrance ceremony and becoming a freshman, he promises to live there on the first night until he reads all the magic books.

The time of more than one month is neither long nor short.

Zuo Si used this time to sort out the magic system of this world, and found out that personal emotions and will play a huge role in it.

For example, when releasing the Patronus Charm, the whole person must desperately think about the happiest moment in memory.

If there is not enough happy emotion, the spell cannot be cast.

For the same reason, there is also the Iron Armor Curse that is often used.

The stronger the awareness of protecting oneself when the spell is released, the stronger the force field formed around the body and the harder it is to be broken by other spells.

All in all, unlike the Faerun mages who emphasize calmness, rationality, and keeping a clear mind, the more the wizards of this world are emotionally excited, the more they can exert unimaginable power.

This also explains very well why the ancient magic released by Harry Potter's mother before she died successfully bounced off the Killing Curse, making her the first and only lucky one who survived the Killing Curse Son.

"In addition to one's own magic power, is there a strong will and emotional factor? Does this mean that the magical energy in this world will be affected by strong emotions? Or is it that strong enough emotions will trigger the resonance of one's own soul and surrounding magical energy? ?” Zuo Si sat at the desk and muttered to himself with great interest.

Undoubtedly, this is a new research direction and topic.

If he understands it, then many spells will be more powerful and lethal when he casts them.
