Chapter 2： Invisible Phantom

During the remaining month of the summer vacation, Schelling did not forget the various disturbances that would occur at Hogwarts in the upcoming semester, so he also began to delve into the spells that could come in handy during this semester to make it possible for himself. Be prepared for the various situations you will face.

Since last semester, Xie Lin has already started to improve the fluorescent curse, sound reinforcement curse, and flame curse that he learned in the first-year course. During this long vacation, Xie Lin finally found the opportunity to put his ideas one by one. achieve. Through the fine magic control and the adjustment of the wand posture, Schelling found that the light emitted by the fluorescent spell, the sound effect created by the sound reinforcement spell, and the flame shape released by the flame spell can all be adjusted in size—for example For the fluorescent spell, Xie Lin successfully turned the wand into a Muggle adjustable flashlight. The light source turned into by the magic power can adjust the brightness of the light according to his mind. For example, the amplification spell, Xie Lin also succeeded in making the sound like numb. Melon’s sound system can freely adjust the volume and sound waves; another example is the flame curse. The flame that Schelling now releases is no longer just a long jet of flame, but can release a cluster of like a miniature sun. The huge fireball can also release bunches of sparks flying in all directions.

Besides, in the past few years, he has been keeping correspondence with pen pals overseas. Among them, his most frequent correspondence with him is Akabane Sakurayuki, a female pen pal from Japan who attended Mahoutokoro School of Magic (Mahoutokoro). Mahotokuro means magical place in Japanese, so it is also referred to as magical place. This magical school is a palace located on the highest point of South Iwo Jima in Japan. This palace is made of mutton fat jade. It looks like a gorgeous and exquisite pagoda, so it is also known as a magic palace. From Muggle's point of view, the island and the palace are uninhabited.

In Japan, wizard children who have reached the age of seven will start school, but they will not start boarding until the age of eleven. Before then, they will ride on the back of giant petrel to and from home and school every day, and go to school in the form of day school. . So although Akabane Sakurayuki is the same age as Xie Lin, she has been exposed to magic for 6 years. What Schelling is most interested in Japanese magic is the Japanese wizards who were active in front of the screen under the name of "ninja" during the Shogunate and Warring States period in the 16th century. In order to meet the intelligence needs of the major feudal lords at that time, the magic of Japanese wizards was very sneaky. , Disguise, invisibility, and concealment, there are as many as 30 kinds of invisible magic that have been handed down to this day, accounting for more than half of the "Invisible Book of Invisibility" which tells about invisible magic in the world.

(Note: The unique magic of each country is classified and will not be shared with wizards of other countries. The invisible magic of various countries in "The Invisible Book of Invisibility" is only a brief description of the specific methods of magic casting and the enhancement of invisibility. There is no such skill in the book. Although wizards from various countries are not allowed to divulge their own country’s magic at will, privately owned family magic and privately researched spell-casting experience are not in this case, so Xie Lin can exchange magic with Akabane Sakurayue. )

During the repeated exchanges between Schelling and her, she was unavoidable to discuss this invisible magic that she is most proud of. The two schools in Britain and Japan have different understandings of invisible magic: the common invisible magic in the UK is the phantom spell, which is similar to the chameleon. The principle allows the operator’s external skin to simulate the surrounding environment, trying to cause visual deception to achieve the effect of hiding the body; while in Japan the most common use of stealth magic is the "Waguang Tongchen Curse", which is a kind of body change The shape and light transmittance make the body become like dust, allowing light to pass through. In simple terms, it makes the body truly transparent.

These two magics have been improved by generations of wizards, and it can be said that the effect is close to perfect, but Schelling is still not satisfied. There are actually many ways to see through invisibility magic. For example, the perspective curse attached to Mad Eye Moody’s false eyes can see through the phantom curse and invisibility cloak; another example is cats and dogs that can see through invisibility by relying on their sensitive sense of smell. At this point, Schelling’s main consideration is the students and Filch’s pet cat, Loris; for example, snakes that can perceive infrared rays can also detect the temperature of an invisible person. Schelling's goal is to create a stealth magic that can overcome the above shortcomings and is completely unique to him.

Schelling referenced the principles of the Phantom Mantra and the Heguang Tongchen Mantra, and then referenced some Muggle popular science books on optics, and finally developed a new invisible magic, which he named "Invisible Phantom Curse." He took out all the anti-stealth and anti-stealth devices in the family's collection and tried it again, and even borrowed a pair of see-through glasses of the same model as Crazy Eye Moody from Lucius. Of course, Schelling wanted to study see-through glasses. Based on the alchemy principle behind it, he was surprised to find that none of these valuable devices can see through his invisibility magic, which means that his invisibility magic even surpasses the invisibility cloak of the three gods of death in terms of concealment. The invisibility cloak in the original book can't hide the clairvoyance of Crazy Eye Moody.

The "Invisible Phantom Curse" is paired with his supreme wizard robe-it has added functions to cover breath, smell, and body temperature. Even dogs with the most sensitive sense of smell and snakes that perceive infrared rays cannot feel the existence of Schelling. , Even if Schelling stood in front of them, he would only be ignored.

What’s more, he also successfully developed a brand new fighting technique. He cleverly used stealth magic into his casting process, causing the spell cast by his wand to become invisible and unable to be tracked with the naked eye. Not to mention resisting, there was only one curse that could achieve this effect before, and that was Snape’s original "Shadow Shadowless Curse", and Schelling could incorporate this technique into all curses. , He named it the "No Phase Casting" technique.

The invisible magic "Invisible Phantom Curse" was created!

Phaseless spellcasting skills acquisition!

Compared with the harvested Schelling, his elder brother Draco was a waste of school studies and went out to practice Quidditch with Gore and Crabbe almost every day throughout the vacation. Grade 2 students can already participate in the school's Quidditch team selection. Draco mentioned more than once at home that he must join the Slytherin Quidditch team during this semester. Under his soft and hard bubbling, Lucius personally met with Marcus Flint of the Flint family-the Malfoy family will provide free manpower for the entire Quidditch team in Slytherin. Putting the light wheel in 2001, at the expense of Marcus Flint as Quidditch captain, must let Draco pass the selection. The broomstick of the light wheel series is currently the most high-end existence on the market, and the newly launched light wheel 2001 on the market costs 130 gallons each. Even for the wealthy Malfoy family, they bought it in one go. The Seven Light Wheels 2001 is also a big expense, which shows how much Lucius spoils his son.

Schelling didn’t have much interest in Quidditch. He focused on enhancing his strength. Only after going through the crisis brought by Voldemort in the next few years, would he consider slowing down to enjoy. The beautiful things in life. During these two months of summer vacation, his alchemy and spells have made great progress, and even his combat skills have become more flexible and flexible with daily practice and improvement. As for the provisions in the "Act on Reasonable Restraints on Minor Wizards" that minor minor wizards are not allowed to use magic outside the school? It's for Muggle families or weak mixed-race families. As an ancient pure-blood family, everything in the manor is shrouded by powerful protective magic and shielding magic. As long as it is within the range of Malfoy Manor, the traces of the Ministry of Magic cannot trace the spells of Schelling and Draco. trace. It can be seen that pure-blood wizards really have too many advantages over wizards from Muggle families. In the original book, if it were not for Draco's daily waste of time in intrigue and boring play, he would not have suffered the shame of repeated defeats in a series of struggles with Harry Potter.

Speaking of Harry, he had a very sad summer vacation. Throughout July, all his magical items were confiscated by his Muggle relatives, so he hadn't been exposed to any magic for a whole month. To make matters worse, he tried to write to his friends to complain or ask for help, but never received any reply-all his letters were intercepted by Dobby, which was an act of Dobby's own decision. Although Schelling knew about this, he did not make any intervention. Such a depressing day lasted until Harry’s birthday-on July 31, Dobby appeared in his room and gave him an inexplicable warning, and with a hovering spell, Harry received a letter from It is forbidden to abuse the warning letter of Mafalda Hopkirk, director of the Office of Magic. After being imprisoned more cruelly by his Muggle relatives for three days, Harry was rescued by Ron and his twin brother, and his miserable summer life came to an end here.

On the day of August 19th, Lucius proposed that he needed to go to Knockoff Alley in London to do something, and asked Draco and Schelling to go with him, so that he could buy them all the book lists for this semester. Knockoff Alley, a black market similar to Muggles. It is adjacent to Diagon Alley, where dragons and snakes are mixed, which is despised by most wizards. This alley is full of black magic shops, where people can buy many kinds of black magic items. There are few serious wizards in Knock Down Alley. There are even many notorious dark wizards, werewolves and vampires hidden in Knock Down Alley. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic repeatedly tried to get rid of the malignant tumor of the wizarding world in Knock Down Alley. But in the end all came back to no avail. Schelling has always been skeptical about this. He doesn't think that the failure to ban Knockoff Alley was due to the incompetence of the Aurors. The real reason should be the shelter of some high-level officials in the Ministry of Magic-after all, participation. How many hands can be completely clean among people with politics?

The entrance of Knockoff Alley was next to Diagon Alley, and Lucius was able to lead Draco and Schelling through the crowded crowd, and into Knockoff Alley. There is a dirty alley in front of me. The shops in Diagon Alley are crowded enough, but Knockover Alley looks obviously narrower, and even the light is mostly blocked by the odd-shaped buildings~www.novelhall. com~ makes people feel a little gloomy. The doors of the three shops facing the intersection were all closed tightly. The windows were all tightly drawn with heavy flannel curtains. The name of the shop on the forehead of the door could not be seen clearly, and it was obviously abandoned for some years. Both sides seemed to be full of black magic shops. Some shrunken human heads were displayed in a gloomy manner in the window of a shop, and a large cage was crampedly filled with huge black spiders. In a gloomy doorway, two shabby wizards were watching them whispering. Lucius glanced at them contemptuously, probably because the Malfoy family’s characteristics were too obvious. The two wizards shrank their eyes. , Continue to wait for the next prey.

An old wooden street sign hung in front of a shop selling poisoned candles, telling him this was Knock Down Alley. After walking for a while, Xie Lin saw the largest shop in Knock Down Alley, the crooked shop with the sign of "Bojinbok Store". As if this was their destination, Lucius stopped, turned and pushed open the wooden door of the store, and walked in. Schelling is not ignorant of this slightly less famous shop in the dark world of wizards. The back of this shop is managed by the Bok family, one of the 28 holy pure-blood families. In addition to selling dark magic items, The Bockin Bock store can also be used as a pawnshop. Mr. Bockin, the owner, likes the dark magic items with weird uses and unpredictable power. As for whether a transaction that satisfies both parties can be reached, it depends on personal means.

Lucius didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to explain to the shopkeeper Mr. Borkin-he wanted to get rid of some of the dark magic items in the Malfoy family's collection here. Just as Lucius and Mr. Borkin were bargaining for each item on a long list of goods one by one, Schelling and Draco could only wander around in the Borkin Bork shop to gain insight.
