Chapter 346

Dumbledore held the round lens on the bridge of his nose and forced to open the heavy stone cover. Inside each page is also a stone slab, the thickness of which is similar to that of fingers, and many small characters are carved. The language is so old that Tolkien may recognize it, and Dumbledore needs to prepare a dictionary like pamphlet.

"I had the honor to visit the alchemist Nicole lemme and hear him talk about 600 years ago. It was the dark age when witches were hunted and killed, and witches had nowhere to hide. " Dumbledore said: "in order to be able to better cast, to fight against Muggle's sword and bow and arrow, wand began to become popular, and that is now we use the curse of the times gradually take shape."

"But it still doesn't explain the problems found in you. You have to be older and go back to the time of the origin of magic. You should have heard a Muggle saying, it's called for_ Jesus_ Sake, we will sigh that Merlin's beard is used to express surprise. "

Zhao Mai opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise, "Merlin's beard? You mean Merlin of King Arthur? "

"Yes and no." Dumbledore said: "there is a wise man and magician around King Arthur. He is Merlin, but he is not the only Merlin. In earlier times, Merlin was a title for someone who was proficient in witchcraft. Merlin was famous in the period of King Arthur because he organized a set of incantation methods to help witches learn the power of incantation, which is the foundation of our school of magic. Moreover, he was also the last Merlin, and there was no Merlin after him. We believe that he is still alive, only sealed in an unknown place. "

"Wow, there is such a secret. Haven't you ever been looking for Merlin?"

"This kind of action was very popular three or four hundred years ago, but most of it didn't have any results. There is a saying that if Merlin's seal is lifted, a new Merlin will be born, and most of the charms will have to be relearned, so as to change the current situation of the wizarding world. Later, the Ministry of magic even ordered that the search for Merlin was absurd and illegal. "

"The Ministry of magic is very broad." Zhao Mai knows that the Ministry of magic is connected with the detachment, so there may be the inspiration of the detachment behind this instruction. "But what does Merlin have to do with me? You don't think I'm his offspring, do you

Dumbledore lowered his head and looked over the lens: "how can you have such a strange idea? I'm talking about Merlin because it has something to do with the origin of witchcraft. I don't think all witchcraft will appear out of thin air. It must have its roots. Where did the Merlins learn their magic He pointed to the book in his hand: "it says that Merlin is the title of the sorcerer of the Druid order."

"Druids?" Zhao Mai called out: "how can it be a druid?"

"It's no surprise that Druids are quite old religions after all." Dumbledore looked at Zhao Mai thoughtfully, still keeping his voice gentle, and continued: "basically, it can be said that first there was a single totem worship, and later due to the merger of tribes, there were multiple totems to explain the world. At that time, druids were born, they studied all natural things and learned the power of magic from them. In Celtic culture, druids and kings are juxtaposed. Druids are responsible for staff politics and even influence the change of the throne. They were in charge of the sacrificial rites. They were also doctors, magicians, diviners, poets, and historical recorders of their tribes. If they could fight, they had to ask the Druids before they could. Even the word magic was developed by druids from that time. But later, with the change of royal power, new religious forces (Rome and Christianity) rose, and druids gradually disappeared from the power sequence and became pure casters. "

"Merlin is one of the Druids. Merlin of King Arthur is quite intelligent, and can be called the strongest magician. He summed up his own magic, and then formed a system that allows people to learn step by step. Although not everyone can learn, but still greatly increased the number of witches and witches, and gradually formed the wizard world

"So," said Dumbledore, "you're still casting a spell, but it's not a wizard's spell. It's probably a druid's spell."

Well, Dumbledore is right. The foundation of Zhao Mai's power is indeed Druid. Although psychic powers are also a kind of power he has, they still focus on the method of use. The natural force is the core of Zhao Mai. But Zhao Mai is very clear that the source of his Druid power is obtained under the tree of understanding of the world of glarion. Why is it related to the Druids on earth? What is cause and what is effect?

"Now the question is, how did you get the Druid's casting ability?" Dumbledore said: "today's Druids are very rare, and they basically have no ability to cast spells. Even if they have, they have learned from Witches - the methods of the past are long gone. I've looked through all the books, and there's no record of how ancient Druids cast their spells. It's just that I saw something in a travel book. There's an old mantra called maccam. " He waved his wand and said "maccam," but nothing happened. "Mike, can you do it for me?""Does it work? I don't even know what this spell is for. " Zhao Mai took out his magic wand and waved "maccam".

A white flame appeared from the top of the wand, emitting warm heat, and pulsing like a heartbeat, making the sound of "thumping, thumping". Zhao Mai held the wand and felt the feeling of integration from the wand. The magic palm is like an extension of his arm, and the fire is part of his body.

The flame leaped for a while and exploded into a ring of fire, spreading in all directions. The ring of fire has no effect on everything. It penetrates the human body, the table, the bookshelf and the wall like a virtual shadow. After flying about 10 meters, it gradually disappears. "What is this spell for?"

"I'm not very clear about the details. I just say" looking for the light of the soul. " Dumbledore held his glasses: "now you can confirm that you are using the Druid's curse, not the wizard's. As for why, I have no idea. You can only tell me

"Well, I'll be honest: I don't know." Zhao Mai looked at the wand in his hand, and suddenly had a feeling that he didn't need to put it in the storage bracelet. He only needed to use the deformation of the natural force to receive it into his body. Through the magic of maccam, the wand has become a part of its own body, a part of the force cycle.

He released his hand, the wand did not fall, but squirmed and melted in his own flesh and blood. As soon as he shakes his hand, the magic wand will appear again, which is more obedient than Ruyi's golden cudgel. Dumbledore's eyes widened and looked at Zhao Mai's "magic trick". His eyes were full of curiosity: "is this the role of maccam's magic trick?"

"It should be." Zhao Mai said to Dumbledore, "can I try with your wand?"

"Use this one. It's used in school practice and defense against the dark magic class." Dumbledore took out a cheap magic wand, Zhao Mai took it over and waved it, "maccam!"

The flame still appeared, pulsing like a heartbeat, and then burned the wand to ashes. The burning flame had no effect on Zhao Mai, and could not ignite even a piece of paper. "Fortunately, I didn't try my wand." Dumbledore laughed happily: "you must stay at Hogwarts. You are so important to study the origin of magic!"
