Chapter 347： The end of modern magic?

Chapter 349 The end of modern magic?

Busbarton’s professor failed to find out what news, and looked a little disappointed. In fact, Felix also heard a hint of the meaning of alliance. He, who is both a professor of Hogwarts and a director of Boothbatton, should be the most suitable person to match the bridge in the middle.

But at present, I don’t even know what the competition event is, so I hurried to help me, I can only say that I think too much.

He does not intend to get involved.

If you talk about these two schools, he has to choose one side, there is no doubt that it is Hogwarts. Just like asking Nick LeMay the same question, his answer will definitely be Boothbatton.

For the next few days, Felix stayed in Boothbarton’s library to browse through interesting materials and fill his knowledge base.

His biggest gain is not a specific magic, but a novel and knowledge perspective.

Felix first discovered an anomaly from the alumni book donation area in the library: like Hogwarts or Boothbatton, they actually buy new books every year to fill the library, but in addition, they will also accept alumni The gifts of, including some precious ancient books, but also the academic achievements of well-known alumni.

For example, Professor McGonagall’s transformation experience, Flitwick’s research on spells, and Snape’s potion formula, if no heir is designated, they will all stay at Hogwarts in the end.

And Felix discovered that, in the understanding of the same magic, Boothbarton’s collection of books had slight deviations from what he recognized, not personal deviations, but overall deviations.

This feeling cannot be described in words, but it really exists. Just like two compasses, one is offset by 0.01 degree to the left, and the other is offset by 0.01 degree to the right.

In the middle, there is Boothbaton and Hogwarts.

……

Late night, the sky was as pure as a piece of black velvet cloth, and only a few days after the full moon.

In a temporary office, Felix spread out a piece of parchment, trying to record the sudden inspiration——

‘If you put a layer of veil in front of your eyes, you will naturally turn a blind eye over time. It does not affect your vision, but it does exist.

If you use color to express the difference, Hogwarts is transparent silver-white, while Boothbarton is sea blue-it has nothing to do with which color, but everything you see is stained with this color. ’

"Maybe this is the difference in the perception of magic caused by the subtle differences between cultures. It does not affect the casting, but..." He paused, thinking carefully.

Felix couldn’t help but reflect on whether he was too sensitive, but he quickly found a way to verify this conjecture.

The next day, he borrowed a thick stack of books from the Boothbatten Library.

Later, he used Occlumency to temporarily block his cognition of iron armor curses, including derivative spells such as humanoid iron armor curses and all protections. Even the magic knowledge related to the spells was sealed up, and then he picked up a thick book. Open the introduction to the Iron Armor Curse above and learn from the beginning.

This process is really awkward. Whenever the old magical knowledge appears, he will immediately block this one, treating himself as a blank parchment, a little wizard who knows nothing.

What he wanted to do was actually to temporarily put aside his past knowledge of magic and the shackles of experience, starting from the most basic foundation, relearning the iron armor curse, and eliminating the previous interference as much as possible.

He doesn’t know if this is useful, but his instinct tells him that this would be a good way to experience magic.

He actually tried to start with the simplest ‘fluorescent blinking’ spell, but unfortunately, this thing has become his instinct. He can block tangible magic knowledge, but he can’t block instinct.

After weighing, he chose Iron Armor Curse. As one of the six levels of magic mastered, its potential is also extremely strong, unlike some simple spells, no matter how you practice it, the effect will be the same.

In less than an hour, he mastered the spell again, and a thin magical barrier appeared in front of him.

Felix couldn't help but complain to himself: "I have never cast such a weak iron armor curse, which can be broken with a finger." But this is actually the level of the iron armor curse he successfully cast for the first time when he was not in school.

It's just that the memory is too long.

"It's been a long time since I felt this kind of exhilaration. I hope it can surprise me. Next, I am constantly familiar with the process of magic. In addition to a lot of practice, there is also an analysis of spells." Felix is ​​familiar with this process, he sees Looking at the stack of books in front of me, these are all books related to the Iron Armor Curse.

He opened one of the books, carefully read the contents above, and after understanding, adjusted his actions according to the above statement, paused for a while to continue reading the book, and continued to practice after reading it, repeating the cycle.

His understanding of the iron armor curse continued to improve at an astonishing speed, and the power of the spell continued to strengthen, and soon reached the second, third, and fourth level, he gradually noticed the difference.

The color of the new version of the Iron Armor Curse is getting darker and darker. It is no longer colorless and transparent, but a rusty dark red and iron gray intertwined color. The edges seem to have burn marks and protruding fractures. It also has a brass metallic luster.

"What's the situation?" Felix felt a little confused for the first time.

Yes, he practiced according to Boothbarton’s collection of books. Everyone who can leave his experience in the library will not be too bad at all, at least he will not fool around and give wrong answers.

He had some guesses in his heart. In fact, after everyone learns magic, the external characteristics of the spell will be different, but these details... In fact, no one cares, it all boils down to normal phenomena.

Even if the same person casts the same magic, it is impossible to be the same every time. In the eyes of most wizards, this is not a problem at all. If you have to break the cauldron and ask the end, others think you are stubborn.

Casting distance, spell power, flight speed, etc., will vary from person to person. These are common sense in the magic world, and no one will ponder it carefully.

Felix expected that it might be different, but he didn’t expect that when the starting point was the same, the difference would be so big afterwards——

The iron armor curse that he learned from Hogwarts, to the level of sixth level, is to outline the golden half-length armor from the air, of course, it can also be a shield; but the iron armor curse he learned from Boothbarton can be practiced. At around level 4, it looks like a piece of rusty rotten iron sheet.

"I seem to have found something extraordinary." Felix's eyes became bright, and he decided to temporarily put the original iron armor curse on hold, and in a short time, he practiced Boothbatten's version of the iron armor curse to the sixth level. Level and see what the result will be.

He also has a very interesting idea——

If you combine the understanding of two six-level iron armor curses into one, will it take it to a whole new level? And is this the level reached by the four founders of Hogwarts?

"Magic creatures, magical creatures..." Mrs. Rowena Ravenclaw's words, he always remembered.

It’s just how to do it, he had no idea before.

Now I finally have a thought. Combining the understanding of the two iron armor curses, maybe it can reach the seventh-level curse.

Will it be like this? He is not sure, but it is worth a try.

The power of the seventh-level spell is second. Felix estimates that no matter how strong it is, it will not exceed the ancient magic that he has mastered, but maybe he can take the opportunity to see the true face of the iron armor curse?

Yes, as it is.

He has always been curious about one thing, modern magic has reached the end, will there be many restrictions on casting it? Or to put it another way, at the end of modern magic, is it the instinct to turn magic into a wizard, and to control it freely?

As he told the little wizard at the Magic Club, "Maybe we are just regaining the instinct to cast spells."

is like a simple magic like fluorescent flashing and clear water like a spring. Felix now only needs to think about it in his head to do it.

This process does not require any spells, that is, he simply ‘wanted’ to come over the cup, so the magic helped him complete it, which is similar to how a little wizard who has not gone to school can do all sorts of incredible things with his strong emotions when encountering danger.

It’s just that Felix’s magical instinct is stronger and he doesn’t need to amplify his emotions.

He once read a sentence in a book, “The magical riots of the little wizards may not be powerful, but every time it is a feast of magnificent complex magic. At the moment when the magic is blooming, they are omnipotent gods. "

……

Felix thought about it, and felt that the reason why the same spell was learned in two different ways was probably because he had always been in a state of blind people touching the elephant, only touching the true corner of the magic.

It's like two people climbing a mountain, starting from the same place and choosing different fork roads, and finally when they meet at the top of the mountain, they climbed up and looked far away. It turns out that there is more than one road to the top of the mountain. Or in other words, they meet on the mountainside and then cooperate with each other to finish the last part of the road.

He recorded these speculations and put them in the thinking cabin. These things are completely fantastic for the little wizard, and can be equated with "Mike the Little Wizard". But for those old wizards who delve into magic theory, it is definitely a treasure.

On the day before school started, Felix and Mrs. Maxim bid farewell. The students of Busbarton would not go to Hogwarts until October, and he promised to take care of everyone by then.

He went to Diagon Alley first, entrusted the company to Lupin, and returned to Hogwarts before Lupin drew his wand to chant the evil spell for him.

Back to the long-lost ancient magic text office, his mood was surprisingly relaxed. Take out a silver pocket watch from his pocket and let Sniff Wallen come out from it. He smiled and said, "This is your new home."

Sniffing a Merlin Medal hanging on his neck, holding an hourglass in his hand, and constantly looking around. That means, can I dig a hole here to find a baby?

Felix glanced at it, a quill on the table suddenly jumped up and transformed into a small bench, Warren straightened up reflexively, and it waved its hand and sighed.
