The Deep Sea Wizard of Hogwarts

In fact, it didn't take much time in Dumbledore's office. It was still a while before curfew when Lind returned to the Gryffindor common room.

After returning to the dormitory, he went to the bathroom to wash up as usual, and then he sat on the bed with the book "The Call of the Tide" in his hand.

The lyre, also known as the lyre, is said to have been invented by Hermes of Greece: One day, Hermes accidentally stepped on something that could make sounds while walking in the wild. When he picked it up, he found that it was a tortoise shell with a tendon on it, which made sounds due to vibration.

Hermes got inspiration from this, and later he used the tortoise shell as the base and covered it with cowhide as a resonance box. Two ox horns were supported on it, and there was a crossbeam between the upper parts, on which four strings (tendons) were placed, thus making the world's earliest lyre.

In the subsequent development, Tolpand, known as the father of Greek music, increased the four strings of the lyre to five and seven strings.

The lyre recorded in the book is the most commonly used seven-stringed lyre, which also echoes the statues seen in the fishman village.

Although the lyre was invented by Hermes in legend, people prefer to connect it with Apollo, the god of light and literature.

Its sound is melodious, civilized and quiet, which also echoes the Apollo described in Greek mythology. The description of Apollo in mythology is: versatile, upright and kind, the most beautiful and handsome god.

The first step of the ceremony is to make a musical instrument. Lind chose to make a lyre, not because of anything else, but simply because there are notes on making lyres in this book.

The first is to make the most important "resonance box" of the instrument. You need to kill a magical animal with your own hands and soak its skull with your own blood and sea water for a month.

This is in line with the legend of Hermes making a lyre, and also reflects the ancient simple magic theory and the animal worship thought at that time.

And at that time, Greek mythology often had heroic legends of hunting magical animals, the most famous of which was Hercules hunting the nine-headed monster Hydra.

Although Lind still didn't know what absolute connection there was between these ancient myths and legends and the history of magic, he thought of them as soon as he thought about it.

Lind stroked the book with his hands, recalling the information he had found about Apollo and the lyre.

"The sound of the lyre is melodious, civilized and demure..."

Civilized and demure...

If I remember correctly, it seems that there is such a creature that is about to die.

As long as I appear at the right time, drive away the guy who hunted it at the beginning, and then end its life in the name of reducing pain.

Then it will be considered killed by my own hands.

But as an animal representing light, that is to say, I can't have any hypocritical performance in front of it, otherwise it will be aware of my bad intentions and curse me after death-unless I learn the brain closure technique.

To achieve the mentality of "I really want to save it" and the behavior of "I will kill it myself" at the same time...

Linde stood up and looked at the forbidden forest outside the window, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

He didn't know how long he stood there. This was a very contradictory thing. There was a lot of room for operation but a small success rate...

Until his roommates walked back to the dormitory shouting, he came back to his senses a little, and then lay on the bed and pretended to be going to sleep.

"Forget it, I still have to prioritize "saving" first. If I can really save it, I won't kill it. And I have to pay attention to Quirrell." Linde patted his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. His idea is not that of a Gryffindor.

Forget not getting the head of the unicorn, Linde also has some other backup plans in his mind. The unicorn is relatively easy for him now.

If he doesn't get it, he will choose something more "convenient and powerful". The double horns of some creatures are naturally suitable for making lyres.

For example, a certain underage dragon. Of course, he was not going to plot against Hagrid's dragon, but Hagrid's incident did remind him.

In the plot, Hagrid's dragon Norbert grew very fast, and Lind might also be able to get a creature with a very short growth cycle to commit suicide.

He had fed pigs and released sheep in his previous life. But he had never raised cats or dogs.

He understood other people's feelings for pets, so he would not plot against Hagrid's dragon.

But he could raise one himself and then kill it like a pig.

Thinking of this, Lind really felt like a Slytherin. He didn't really care about life or death.

Then, Lind gave Andersen a new task:

Monitor Hagrid's hut and Harry Potter and his party.

The plan for the resonance box had a rough outline, and then he began to think about the strings.

The strings must be some linear objects with strong toughness.

For example, the tendons of creatures, or the nerves of some creatures with extremely thick nerves.

Although dragon tendons and nerves can be bought at the drugstore in Diagon Alley, they are all processed in various ways for the convenience of sale and preservation.

I wonder if there is any way to contact the drugstore owner and ask for some fresh goods. If I send a letter directly, I guess the other party will ignore me.

Or some metals or plant materials with high-strength magic conductivity...

Thinking about it, Linde couldn't help but sigh. Making a lyre is only the first step to becoming a sea singer. The subsequent rituals are much more complicated, and the road is long and difficult!

Thinking about it, Linde decided to start with the first step. Looking at the communication between Dumbledore and himself today, he did give himself a lot of freedom. But this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

So for some details, he decided to be more cautious.

At this time, the roommates were almost asleep. It was not that they fell asleep too fast, but that Linde himself thought too much.

After waiting for a while, he got up and put on a black robe. With the help of Andersen, he came to the Room of Requirement with ease.

Then he instructed Andersen to go back and monitor Harry Potter. This kid often went out at night, and he couldn't remember the specific time of the fire dragon incident, so it was best to start doing it now.

After telling Andersen to remember to pick him up when the time was about right, he walked into the room where he practiced spells. He not only instructed Andersen to "start doing it now when you think of it", but he also did it himself.

He drafted a letter, which he planned to send to Felix tomorrow morning, and enclosed a sufficient amount of gold galleons.

Then Felix would contact Diagon Alley to buy things, and then he would send those things over.

In this way, the things sent over would not have serious traces of "commodities", but "family items". Just like you bought an inflatable. . As a result, it was sent directly to the company's front desk, and the receptionist saw it...

In short, safety first. He really didn't know to what extent Dumbledore controlled the school.

And the characteristics of the things he wanted to buy were still very obvious. A polymath like Dumbledore could see the whole picture of most things from a small part.

At that time, he would ask Felix to buy a traceless retractable bag in Diagon Alley and stuff all those things into it.

This was also the safest way he could think of at this stage, although it was a bit troublesome.
