The Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, looking at the note that suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, a very confused expression appeared on his old face.
Because he really didn't know what kind of magic could send a note from an unknown place to Hogwarts, which was protected by countless magics.
In fact, up to now, no one in the magic world has been able to invent a spell that can be used for long-distance communication and delivery of objects.
Otherwise, wizards wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to tame owls to deliver letters and parcels.
If someone achieves this, there is a high probability that he will be awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class.
After all, this was a feat that was enough to subvert and change the entire means of communication in the wizarding world. It was naturally praised by everyone and received the honor and rewards that they deserved.
But now, someone actually used such amazing magic just to send me a duel invitation.
You must know that since defeating Gellert Grindelwald in a duel, no one in the entire wizarding world dared to challenge Albus Dumbledore again, and he was recognized as the greatest wizard of the time, even the title of one of them was omitted.
Even when Tom Riddle, who called himself Voldemort and the mysterious man, controlled the entire British wizarding world, he still did not dare to get close to Hogwarts.
The reason is that he is not sure he can defeat his former teacher, the professor who brought him from the orphanage into the magical world.
But now, when everything had calmed down, someone suddenly showed up who wanted to challenge him. This was something Dumbledore couldn't understand.
If the other party had not used a kind of magic that he had never seen before, and the note had not appeared out of thin air right in front of him, he would probably have laughed it off as a prank by some naughty students.
"Who could it be?"
The old man with a white beard and who is over 100 years old showed a very curious expression.
However, he did not disturb the professors who were busy teaching students and recruiting new students in the second half of this year. Instead, he picked up his wand and quietly left Hogwarts Castle, intending to meet the other party according to the address left on the note.
As the most powerful wizard of contemporary magic, Dumbledore is never afraid of any challenge, and the lion-like courage of Gryffindor House flows in his veins.
After leaving the range of the castle's magic protection, he quickly cast Apparition and instantly moved to the designated location.
As soon as I appeared, I immediately noticed several figures wearing cloaks and hoods.
Because the face was covered, Dumbledore couldn't see the other person's appearance or age clearly. He could only feel that there was a strange aura emanating from the other person that was difficult to describe in words, just like the ghosts in Hogwarts Castle.
It goes without saying that these people are the liches who just came through the portal from the continent of Faerun.
As for Zuo Si himself, he cast an advanced invisibility spell on himself and stood silently on the top of a tree, providing his subordinates with the necessary magic network environment for casting spells.
Through simple tests, he has realized that the reason why professions bound to land cards can still function after leaving the original world is that when the land cards take effect, a certain range of magical environment overlap will be formed around them.
That is to say, it can not only meet the casting environment of the world where the land card is located, but also will not affect the casting environment of the current world.
The higher the level of the land card, the larger the impact range will naturally be.
The initial LV2 floating city tower can only affect the surrounding area within a range of less than 400 meters at best.
It’s just that the creator profession itself does not have the ability to cast spells, and is mainly responsible for creating various magic items and strange objects, so the feeling in this aspect is not obvious.
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 card, the maximum impact range is about ten kilometers in radius with the mage himself.
This means that once beyond this distance, all kinds of magic and divine arts 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 restricted to a radius of ten kilometers.
For example, there is the [Fimbulwinter], which can cause extremely cold weather such as blizzards, strong winds, and hail within a range of up to tens of kilometers for one to three months in a row; another example is the [Heavenly Punishment of Doom], which summons the energy of darkness and destruction into the world and destroys everything within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.
As for the Five Rings [Teleportation Technique] that could easily teleport to thousands of kilometers away, it can now only move a maximum distance of ten kilometers at a time.
In short, the higher the spellcasting level, and the greater the range of influence of the high-level or even legendary spells you master, the more low-level land cards will become a constraint and restriction.
However, spells that have been made into cards will not be subject to these restrictions.
Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to upgrade the land card [Floating City Tower] to see if it would have some special abilities after LV7, Dumbledore finally broke the silence and asked, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that we will defeat you here. Come on, stop talking nonsense and let's talk with magic."
Jeffrey was the first to step forward.
As a veteran in the organization, he paid a considerable "price" to snatch this "starting" position from his good friend.
After all, after witnessing the extremely advanced science and technology on Earth, the terrifying urban communities formed by tens of millions of people gathered together, the skyscrapers that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the trains, cars, airplanes, and 10,000-ton ships that could run without magic, he was full of expectations for the heights that magic in this world could reach.
After all, if even ordinary people can reach that level, spellcasters, no matter how few in number, should be able to reach a similar level.
"I wouldn't mind a magical duel. But where's your wand?"
Dumbledore cast his eyes towards the other man's empty hands.
In his opinion, these people in front of him all exuded a strange aura, and his Legilimency was simply unable to read any memories, emotions, or thoughts from them.
It was as if what he was facing at this moment was not a group of people, but cold and lifeless puppets or corpses.
In fact, Dumbledore guessed correctly.
As an undead creature, the very existence of the lich has already transcended the category of "living beings".
Not to mention a mere Legilimency spell, all spells such as charm and mind control have no effect on them at all.
Because the lich's true soul is stored in the life box, what ordinary people see is just a body controlled by the lich's soul. It would be a problem if one could read the lich's memory, emotions and thoughts.
Without further ado, Jeffrey raised his hands and performed complicated casting movements while chanting spells that ordinary people could not understand.
In the blink of an eye, he cast a seven-ring [Spell Reversal] upon himself.
After doing 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."
"Wandless casting?!"
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Even though he had no idea what spell the other party had just cast, the strong magical fluctuations could not be faked.
Moreover, in today's magical world, there are only a handful of wizards who have mastered the skills of wandless casting.
But no one can match the mysterious man in front of him.
However, Jeffrey, who was eager to understand the magic system of this world, didn't care about that. After casting a few protective spells on himself in advance, he urged impatiently: "Do you still want to duel with me?"
"Of course! In fact, I'm ready and you can attack at any time." Dumbledore responded with a smile.
As a master of silent and wandless spellcasting, he subconsciously cast the Iron Armor Spell on himself the moment he heard the other party chanting the spell.
"In that case, I won't be polite."
As he spoke, Jeffrey followed the tradition of magic duels on the continent of Faerun, and bowed gracefully to his opponent with his hand on his chest.
Seeing this, Dumbledore politely raised his wand in response.
When the two men stood up almost at the same time, the former raised his hand first and shot out five magic missiles flashing with faint light from his fingertips.
There is no doubt that this is a super magic technique - instant spell casting.
Dumbledore's eyes lit up at this spell he had never seen before. He immediately raised his wand and cast Apparition, flashing from one place to another.
But just when he thought he had avoided those beautiful magic light balls, he suddenly saw the missiles that were thrown away drawing graceful arcs in the air, and they seemed to have eyes and were catching up with him again.
After performing several Apparitions in succession, Dumbledore finally realized that this was a magic with automatic tracking capabilities like a Bludger.
No matter where you hide, these magic missiles will never stop until the energy maintaining the spell is exhausted.
In desperation, he could only rely on the armor spell on his body to take five magic missiles.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! As the missiles hit the invisible energy field, emitting dazzling light, Dumbledore's originally relaxed expression finally changed.
Just five magic missiles had a huge impact on the armor spell he had cast with his own hands.
Obviously, any wizard could be killed by these seemingly inconspicuous little energy balls if they were unprotected.
"Who are you anyway?"
Dumbledore asked the same question again.
But this time, his tone and attitude were obviously different.
Unfortunately, Jeffrey had no intention of communicating with the other party. He sneered and mocked: "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 guarantee you will regret it."
“There are so many obstacles!”
Dumbledore didn't waste any time and immediately chose to fight back with practical action by waving his wand.
But unfortunately, this spell was instantly bounced back by [Spell Reversal], causing him to become slow instantly.
Seeing this, Jeffrey immediately shook his head in disappointment, and completed the advanced dispelling magic at an extremely fast speed, directly stripping off the armor spell on Dumbledore.
Then, in the last two seconds before the effect of the barrier spell disappeared, three rounds of [Exhaustion Ray] were completed.
The moment the terrifying beam of light hit, Dumbledore's face suddenly turned extremely pale and painful. His already very old body looked like he would die at any moment, and even his breathing became extremely weak.
However, after regaining his ability to move, he quickly used some kind of recovery spell on himself using silent casting, and he was almost fully recovered in just one or two seconds.
At the same time, the wizard who was hailed as the most powerful wizard of the contemporary era immediately used a transformation spell to transform the towering trees nearby into giant walking tree men.
After being awakened, the latter immediately rushed towards the location of the lich.
"Transformation? Summoning? Interesting..."
Jeffrey's eyes lit up slightly, and his mental state became extremely excited.
Because this was the magic duel he was expecting, not a one-sided crushing of the opponent.
But before the trees could get close, a blazing wall of fire appeared out of nowhere in the path that the tree people had to pass.
All the tree people who passed through it were quickly ignited and burned violently in the next second. After a while, they turned into large piles of firewood falling to the ground.
In the next few minutes, Dumbledore finally demonstrated the sophistication of this world's magical system.
That means no preparation and no memorization required.
As long as there is enough magic power in the body, you can cast any spell you have learned at will.
And the effects of many spells may seem insignificant at first glance, but they play an extraordinary role in actual combat.
The Stop Spell, in particular, seemed to be able to dispel magic, advanced dispel magic, and even anti-magic force fields to a certain extent.
This is how several of Jeffrey's high-level spells were countered.
As Dumbledore fired at full power, the lich's spell slots began to be continuously consumed, and he was eventually defeated.
Just when he wanted to use his wand, scrolls, and magical items to turn the situation around, Vanessa immediately stopped him and said, "Enough! You've already lost this spell duel, don't embarrass us."
“Damn it!”
Jeffrey couldn't help but curse under his breath, but he still stopped casting the spell unwillingly and said to the old man standing not far away: "You won this round! But don't be complacent, I still have many cards that are restricted and cannot be used. What's more, I am not the strongest one among all of them."
"Your magic and spells are very strange. Almost every one of them is unheard of or seen before. Even in the library of Hogwarts, you can't find even a little relevant information." Dumbledore also put away his wand and commented.
He could see that, although the identity and origin of this strange man in front of him were very suspicious and full of mystery, he did not have any malice or murderous intentions.
And there is always room for maneuver throughout the entire mage duel.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a minor injury and some bleeding at this moment.
Normally, a wizard of this strength should not be unknown.
What's more, from the other party's clothing, appearance and behavior, it can be basically judged that this should be a small group or organization.
"There is no need to inquire about our identities and origins, nor to worry about us doing anything that endangers order and law. We are not interested in this island country. We just want to see whether you, who are hailed as the greatest wizard of the modern era, are worthy of such praise. That's all."
Vanessa made her point clear.
Because after seeing Dumbledore bleed, he knew he had completed his mission.
At the same time, through the observation just now, the lich also discovered a significant feature of the spells cast by the "wizards" in this world. Different spells require the mobilization of different emotions and strong wills.
The latter may even produce unimaginable increases in the effects and power of magic.
During the spell duel just now, Dumbledore used a similar method to forcibly interrupt and terminate several of Geoffrey's seventh- and even eighth-ring spells.
Vanessa is very interested in the wizards' peculiar casting methods and magic systems.
But he knew that this kind of situation was not suitable for discussing with the other party, but he had to hide his secret from another world.
As for future matters, Zuo Si, as the leader of the organization, will naturally handle them properly.
"You just want to have a spell duel with me?"
Given Dumbledore's suspicious character, he obviously didn't believe this.
If Jeffrey had not just demonstrated his powerful spellcasting ability, which was completely different from the mainstream spellcasting method in the current magic world.
He might even mistake the people in front of him for Voldemort's newly recruited Death Eaters.
Vanessa nodded gently: "That's right! If you still have enough magic power, you can fight me again. If you are tired, go back and have a good rest for a few days. In the next week, we will stay here and wait for you to come for a duel."
"What about a week later?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and tested cautiously.
"We will set off for home in a week, and we probably won't appear in front of the world again for hundreds or even thousands of years." Vanessa answered in a pretentious manner.
"Hundreds of years or even thousands of years? Are you some hidden magic organization from ancient times?"
Dumbledore's eyes widened in disbelief.
If this answer is correct, then everything makes sense.
Whether it was the opponent's method of casting spells that was completely different from modern magic, or the large number of spells that he did not recognize, they could all be classified as lost ancient magic.
After all, before the establishment of Hogwarts and other ancient magic schools, that is, around 900 to 1000 AD, the history of wizards basically did not exist.
At that time, all wizards were scattered around the world, secretly conducting their own secret research that was unknown to the public.
No one knows how many spells and potion recipes the wizards of the time invented, let alone how many of them have been lost and how many have been passed down and gradually improved to become the magic spells we have today.
As for what kind of state wizards were in during the thousands of years before this, modern wizards have no way of knowing.
We can only find the knowledge and wisdom left by ancient wizards 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 big door appeared out of nowhere in the open space.
The moment he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, Dumbledore saw magnificent 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 hot meals that have been prepared.
But before he could ask, the liches filed into the mansion and slammed the door, completely cutting off contact with the outside world.
Needless to say, what Vanessa just performed was the famous [Mage's Mansion] among the seven-ring arcane spells, also known as [Magic Duncan's Mansion].
Like the [Mage's Sword] and [The Great Disintegration], it was also invented by the most famous legendary wizard in the Greyhawk world - Mordenkainen.
It is said that even in the multiverse, most high-level wizards will learn at least one spell invented by Mordenkainen, which shows how amazing his influence and scope of influence are.
As a very curious old man, Dumbledore was obviously very interested in this door that appeared out of nowhere, as well as the mansion on the other side of the door.
He walked straight to the door, raised his wand to the lock and whispered, "Open Allah!"
看到这一幕,这位年过百岁的老人立刻忍不住笑着感叹道:“好吧!我想这个门应该是加持了某种强大的防护魔法。看来这些神秘人的魔法造诣水平相当惊人。只是一个星期太短了,不然的话我应该给尼可·勒梅写信。相信他一定会对这些远古时代的魔法和咒语感兴趣。”
很显然,巫妖们的种种表现和展现出出来的魔法技艺,彻底折服了阿不思·邓布利多,并使其相信对方就是某个传承至今且与世隔绝的古老魔法组织。
毕竟在此之前,魔法界从未有过来自其他世界的智慧生物造访。
就这样,霍格沃茨的校长迅速施展幻影移形消失在原地。
他现在需要返回学校,找庞弗雷夫人处理一下自己身上的几处比较麻烦的伤口,然后好好休息一天养精蓄锐。
等明天或者后天,再来跟这些有趣的古代巫师们进行一场法术决斗。
如果可以的话,最好进行一些魔法理论知识和咒语原理的交流。
争取让那些十分厉害的魔法能够在霍格沃茨传承下去。
邓布利多前脚刚走,左思后脚就从藏身地点走出来,小心翼翼从地上弄到了一点滴落在杂草上的血液,毫不犹豫召唤“遗产”进行了拟态。
瞬间!
他手上刚刚获取的那点血液顿时被皮肤所吸收,其中最重要的部分被融入到身体和血脉之中。
大概几秒钟的功夫,一股十分怪异的能量就开始在身体里急速膨胀。
幸好左思发现的快,及时通过火花的力量将这股能量压制下去。
否则的话肯定会引发剧烈的魔力喷发与波动。
而魔力的喷发,百分之百会被霍格沃茨的那本加持了强大魔法力量的入学名单记录在案。
搞不好还包括具体的时间、地点。
到时候要是碰巧被邓布利多看到,那乐子可就大了。
等这股无法抑制的冲动被压制下去之后,左思这才略微松了一口气,同时看到自己的拟态职业一栏多出了一个【巫师(邓布利多家族血脉)——LV1】,脸上顿时浮现出了满意的笑容。
没过一会儿功夫,刚才躲进【法师豪宅】的巫妖们也打开门从里边走了出来。
听到身后传来的脚步声,他立刻头也不回的问:“如何,你们对于这个世界当代最伟大的巫师评价是什么?”
“嗯……我认为他的实力非常接近传奇法师,某些领域甚至达到了传奇法师的程度。
比如说那个可以在一瞬间反复且不受任何限制施展的传送魔法(幻影移形)。
但各种魔法所造成的伤害略显不足。
当然,也不排除是他没有使用那些大威力的法术,就好像杰弗里也没有使用他最擅长的召唤、魅惑和控制法术一样。
另外,那个能停止绝大多数的咒语很奇特,同时释放速度也非常快。
如果没有办法破解的话,恐怕很难对其造成实质性的威胁。
而且我发现,这个世界自称巫师的施法者,非常依赖他们手中那根小小被称之为魔杖的武器。
尤其是邓布利多手中的那根,奥术灵光强度几乎快赶上许多传奇等级的魔法物品了。”
瓦内萨稍加思索后迅速给出自己的判断。
“那么你有信心在一对一的法术决斗中战胜他吗?”左思转过身露出了玩味的笑容。
瓦内萨不加思索的回答:“如果放开手脚的话,我有六成把握能够将其击败。
毕竟在法术多样性和杀伤力方面,费伦的魔法体系要比这个世界复杂得多,同样也危险的多。
更何况这位邓布利多校长的身体已经非常虚弱了,我刚好知道几个可以加速衰老的死灵系魔法。
再加上有心算无心,我的胜算应该相当高。
怎么,您要对他动手吗?”
左思马上摇了摇头:“不,当然不是。我只是在确认他在魔法领域所能达到的高度,以及威胁等级。
不过现在无所谓了。
因为我已经拿到了进入这个世界魔法圈子的门票。
接下来一个星期,你们就陪邓布利多好好把这出戏演完就可以回去了。
剩下的事情我会自己慢慢一个一个的解决。”
“不需要我们帮忙搜集这个世界的各种知识、技术和魔法吗?”
杰弗里显然已经喜欢上了这个世界,有点不太情愿回去。
“不用。而且你们的身份、施法方式都太敏感了,我可不希望搞出太大的动静。
更何况,你们现在之所以能够正常释放魔法,完全是因为在我身边的缘故。
一旦离开我的身边,你们所有人分分钟都会失去魔网的支持,到时候怕是连一个最低级的戏法都放不出来。”
左思毫不客气拒绝了杰弗里的想要留下的念头。
起码在解决施法环境不兼容的问题之前,这些巫妖根本没办法离开他单独行动。
“不同世界的魔法体系和施法环境差异巨大,的确是一个有待于解决的难题呢。”
瓦内萨摸着下巴露出了若有所思的表情。
不过好在巫妖是永生的,他有近乎无限的时间可以一点一点攻克所有的难关。
就这样,巫妖们与邓布利多在这个不为人知的地方进行了整整一个星期的交流(物理上)。
一直到巫妖们离开这个世界,后者都不知道他所面对的其实是一群来自异世界的不死生物施法者,更没有在战斗中学会哪怕一个法术。
即便邓布利多本人记住了一些所谓的“魔咒”,并且在回去之后尝试着进行使用,但最终无一例外都失败了。
因为在费伦想要释放一个法术,光有咒语是远远不够的,还需要相应的施法动作跟施法材料。
咒语和施法动作或许可以模仿,但施法材料绝对不是能够轻易搞清楚的东西。
同样的,瓦内萨等人也没有透露半点费伦大陆的魔法体系、造物。
从头到尾都只是进行了几场激烈的法术决斗。
至于左思,除了提供必要的施法环境支持,还躲在暗处记住了几个“校长大人”释放法术时念出的咒语。
只可惜,邓布利多是个彻头彻尾的白巫师,三大不可饶恕咒、厉火等杀伤力惊人的法术一个都没有使用过。
不然的话,左思还真想知道“阿瓦达啃大瓜”究竟算不算是死灵系中的负能量法术,还是传说中直接针对灵魂的魔法,是否可以杀死作为亡灵生物的巫妖。
带着对于进入魔法界的期待,他老老实实在自己家里呆了好几个月,中间除了主动进行了一次小规模的魔力爆发之外,基本就是每天前往大英图书馆。
通过触摸那些书架上图书的封皮,将一本本的书籍记录在脑海之中,打算等回去之后好向知识之神交差。
但在图书管理员的眼中,左思无疑是个怪胎加异类。
因为他从来都没有翻开过任何一本书,每天只是单纯沿着书架去触摸那些书籍的封皮,让人完全搞不懂这是在干什么。
其中有些高度专业化的书籍,根本不是一个男孩能够理解的。
幸亏他从未做过任何破坏书籍的举动跟倾向,所以管理员充其量也就是跟在后面盯着,并没有去制止亦或是将其驱逐出去。
随着时间来到七月份,左思刚刚过完所谓的“生日”正式年满十一岁的时候,一只猫头鹰信使不出意外送来了一封由霍格沃茨发出的录取通知书。
霍格沃茨魔法学校 校长:阿不思·邓布利多
(国际巫师联合会会长、梅林爵士团一级、大魔法师、威森加摩首席魔法师)
亲爱的索斯先生: 我们愉快地通知,您已获准在霍格沃茨魔法学校就读。
随信附上所需书记及装备一览表。
学期定于九月一日开始。
稍后我们会派专人前往向您和您的家庭做出解释。
副校长(女) 米勒娃·麦格谨上。
至于第二页的部分,基本就全都是需要购买的书籍,还有校服与其他少量装备和器械。
“一切跟我计划中的分毫不差。看来进入魔法界的钥匙已经拿到了呢。就是不知道究竟会是哪位教授来接我这个麻瓜家庭的学生。哦,差点忘了,也是时候把那位监护人喊来帮个忙了。”
说罢,左思拿起摆放在桌子上的电话,拨通了其中一个号码。
仅仅不到四十分钟,一名看上去大概有四十多岁的白人男性警察便出现在房子的门口。
由于记忆受到小部分篡改的关系,所以他直接将左思视作了一位在执行任务过程中遇难同事的遗孤,迅速开始进入到监护人的角色。
才短短两三天功夫,就愣是营造出了一种家庭氛围。
About two weeks later, a thin man with straight hair, a big hooked nose and cold and unfathomable eyes appeared at the door of the house.
He was wearing a black robe, and his skin had turned a pale white like a vampire due to long-term lack of exposure to the sun.
Needless to say, this person is the famous "lover", the current professor of Potions at Hogwarts and head of Slytherin House, Professor Severus Snape.
He raised his left hand and knocked on the door rhythmically.
Bang! Bang! Bang! When the white policeman heard it, he jumped up from the sofa and walked quickly to the door and opened it.
When he found out it was a stranger, he immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Excuse me... who are you?"
"Hello, sir. I am Severus Snape, a professor at Hogwarts. The child living in this house should have received an admission letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry some time ago. Since you are a Muggle family, the school sent me here to give a brief explanation."
Snape assumed a businesslike manner.
"Magic school? Are you guys scammers?" The white policeman immediately showed a vigilant look.
Since Zuo Si did not reveal any information from beginning to end, when he heard the word magic, his first reaction was that he had encountered a liar.
Snape knew how difficult it was to convince a Muggle family of the existence of magic, so he simply took out his wand and tapped the bouquet of dried flowers on the table.
moment!
The whole bouquet of flowers seemed to have gone back in time and regained its vitality to the moment it was placed in the vase more than a week ago.
"Oh—my God!"
The white policeman plopped down on the sofa, his entire body in a daze.
Then he quickly pulled out a flower and put it in front of his nose to sniff it, then exclaimed: "Unbelievable! Magic really exists in this world! Why have I never heard of it before?"
Snape explained expressionlessly: "Because the wizarding world has a confidentiality act, it is forbidden to disclose even the slightest information about magic to Muggles, that is, ordinary people like you who don't understand magic and don't have wizard relatives and friends.
Even if you occasionally find out, your memory will be erased.
Well, you will naturally know all this little by little after the child becomes a little wizard.
Now, let's talk about everything related to admission..."
Relying on his identity as a wizard and his powerful aura, Snape dealt with this nominal guardian in just a few minutes.
After confirming that Zuo Si was going to go to Hogwarts, the two parties quickly agreed on a time to go to Diagon Alley to exchange Muggle currency for wizard currency in order to purchase the books and tools on the list.
As for Zuo Si, he used near-perfect acting skills to express a genius child's yearning for the magical world.
After all, he had already maxed out his two skills of "acting skills" and "pretending to be young" when he was in the tower of the floating city.
Even the Grand Necromancer Asta couldn't find any flaws.
When Snape finished his work and left, Zuo Si directly drove out this nominal guardian, removed the charm control, and allowed him to return to normal life.
The subsequent currency exchange and purchasing also went quite smoothly.
Zuo Si did not show any "money printing ability". He only exchanged enough money to cover one semester's expenses. He did not even look at the pets, owl messengers, and flying broomsticks that could attract the little wizard's attention. He went back directly after buying the things.
Snape was obviously very satisfied with the restraint, maturity and intelligence he showed.
The only pity is that the Sorting Hat will almost never assign a young wizard of Muggle origin to Slytherin. Even if he is not a pure-blood, he must at least be a half-blood, so he is destined not to be a student of his college.
However, Snape did not know that the "excellent" student in his eyes disassembled the wand he bought from Ollivander's Wand Shop into "parts" on the first night back home, and then remodeled, enchanted, and blessed it with various magic to block 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 that this idea was as ridiculous as playing card-drawing games and engaging in all kinds of metaphysics.
Even worse than those gamers who engage in metaphysics.
At least the latter understand that the metaphysics they are engaged in is at best for psychological comfort, or simply for fun.
After all, a wand is not some high-level animated magic item with intelligence and independent thinking ability, so why would it have so many bad problems?
It is simply a tool to enhance spellcasting. Since it is a tool, it can be modified and upgraded.
It's just that the magic of some wizards is particularly sensitive to some special materials, and during long-term use, the core of the wand will gradually adapt to the magical characteristics of the owner, gradually forming the so-called "oneness of man and wand" feeling.
Once the wand you are used to is lost or damaged, it will become very difficult to get used to using a new one, which is far less convenient than the previous one.
In addition, there are very few people or families in the entire wizarding world who are capable of making wands, and they don't communicate much on a daily basis, which eventually led to the birth of the metaphysical theory of Ollivander's Wand Shop.
After all this trouble, Zuo Si's wand was completely different from when he first bought it.
No matter the wood material or the core, everything has been transformed and even Mr. Ollivander himself can't recognize it.
In addition, Zuo Si also engraved many powerful magic runes inside the wand to enhance the effect of guiding and condensing magical energy.
After feeling the power of this "magically modified" magic wand, Zuo Si put it back with satisfaction, then opened a book called "Standard Spells" and began to read it with relish.
There was still more than a month left before school started, so he planned to go through all the spells for grades one to six.
Any spell that can be recorded in the [Standard Spells] is generally not very powerful and has very low danger.
For Zuo Si, who has a wealth of magical knowledge, it is basically not difficult.
The reason why I chose to enter Hogwarts instead of other magic schools was actually because of the castle's huge library and restricted area.
After completing the entrance ceremony and becoming a freshman, he promised to stay there on the first night until he had finished reading all the magic books.
More than a month is neither long nor short.
Zuo Si used this time to roughly sort out the magic system of this world, and indeed found that personal emotions and will played a huge role in it.
For example, when casting the Patronus Charm, the whole person must try hard to think of the happiest moment in memory.
Without sufficient happy emotions, the spell cannot be cast.
The same principle applies to the often-used Iron Armor Spell.
The stronger the awareness of protecting oneself when casting this spell, the stronger the force field formed around the body will be and the more difficult it will be to break through with other spells.
In short, unlike the wizards of Faerun who emphasize calmness, rationality, and keeping a clear head, the wizards in this world tend to exert unimaginable power the more emotionally excited they are.
This also explains why the ancient magic released by Harry Potter's mother before her death successfully rebounded the Killing Curse, making him the first and only lucky person to survive the Killing Curse.
"In addition to one's own magic power, there are also strong will and emotional factors? Does this mean that the magical energy of this world will be affected by strong emotions?
