Chapter 737 Willing to Exchange Merlin's Magic Book
Balthazar's words did not bring anything new to Jiang Shan, just like in the plot.
Jiang Shan listened and nodded slightly: "I do have some interest in Merlin's magic; I agree to this deal."
Balthazar was overjoyed and quickly presented Merlin's magic book.
Jiang Shan waved his hand and said, "When you are done, just send the book to Kamar-Taj."
Balthazar sighed: "Bright and clear, that's what it means to be a respectable person like you!"
Jiang Shan laughed and waved his hand.
Balthazar was willing to use Merlin's magic to make a deal. Compared with the difficulty of this matter, Balthazar was actually the one who suffered the loss.
But when doing business, it’s all about mutual consent.
Jiang Shan did have some interest in Supreme Merlin's magic, but not much; at his level, things like cultivation techniques were no longer of any use to him.
This Merlin magic is just right for enriching the knowledge base of Kamar-Taj and the Two Worlds Organization.
Balthazar was impatient - after all, he had waited for thousands of years and could no longer wait. His lifespan was actually coming to an end.
——Here we can see the wonder of Merlin’s magic——the wizards of Kamar-Taj, even the Ancient One, only live for a few hundred years, and it is only because they absorbed the dark power of the dark dimension that they have such a long lifespan.
But the apprentice of Supreme Merlin can live for thousands of years.
But Merlin himself will die, and Balthazar certainly cannot be immortal.
So he apologized and left in a hurry.
Because he has been living in New York, and the seal, which is the doll that Veronica turned into after she sealed herself, was placed in New York by him.
He had to run over immediately and get the doll.
After Balthazar left, Jiang Shan continued to stroll by the lake.
The little witch Hermione, wearing a wizard robe, came over holding a book. When she saw Jiang Shan, her eyes lit up and she hurried forward to greet him. Then she said, "Supreme Sorcerer, can I ask you some questions about magic?"
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Of course."
The little witch said: "You are so approachable."
Jiang Shan shook his head and smiled: "This is the basic principle of life."
The little witch's eyes curved into crescents, and she pointed to the bench under the willow tree next to her and said, "Then shall we sit there and talk?"
Jiang Shan has no objection.
Sitting down on the bench, the little witch immediately got down to business.
She said, "I saw a book about the basic knowledge of the mystical side in the library a few days ago. The book said that different mystical forces have different ways of becoming stronger. Even if they are all wizard forces, they are different from each other."
"I studied at Hogwarts for seven years. The magic at Hogwarts is amazing, but if we were to face Typhon or Sithorne, even Headmaster Dumbledore would probably not be qualified."
Then he said, "What's the reason? Why are the wizards of Kamar-Taj so powerful, like you, but the wizards of Hogwarts so weak?"
Jiang Shan looked at the little witch's cute face with a smile and asked her, "Do you know where the power of a 'wizard' comes from?"
The little witch said: "Bloodline."
Jiang Shan nodded: "Yes, it is blood. In other words, wizards are born."
The little witch asked back: "So, we are lucky because of our bloodline; is our strength limited by our bloodline?"
Jiang Shan laughed: "No. Bloodline is just the foundation, strength depends on the individual. I think the wizards at Hogwarts are not strong enough for many reasons."
"First, the magic system is slightly biased and does not focus on lethality. Second, the system is not developed to a high enough level. Just like the science and technology outside, it has also developed step by step, from muskets and artillery to dominating the universe."
The little witch frowned: "But we are limited by the potential of our bloodline. We can only be as precise as possible within the framework of our bloodline potential. We can't jump out of the framework of our bloodline."
In the original plot, the little witch is a top student; based on the original plot alone, the Hogwarts system is unique, so of course there is nothing to say.
But this is a complex world, and Hogwarts is not unique, so there are comparisons. With comparisons, the top little witch can naturally see the flaws of the Hogwarts wizards.
——This is indeed the flaw of the Hogwarts wizard system.
It can be compared to this - the path of cultivation in the opposite universe also starts with bloodline; after reaching a certain height, one can break the limit of bloodline and only use bloodline factors as a stepping stone.
But that doesn't work here.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Because the system has not yet developed.
“I was unable to jump out of the bloodline framework because I lacked people who could open the way and a mindset that could break through everything.”
There is some truth to what Jiang Shan said.
Because in many film and television dramas with a Western background, there is a default assumption - gods are gods, born gods; mortals are mortals, and must never touch the forbidden areas of gods.
Some of the transcendental strong men either obtained divine weapons, blessings from gods, or powers bestowed by gods.
In this respect, the original Kamar-Taj system was like this - the power was not one's own, but borrowed.
The power of Scarlet Witch, the supreme witch, is not her own - according to the setting, she is favored by the power of chaos and can use it, so she is powerful.
The heroes in myths and legends are basically demigods.
Jiang Shan pointed out: "After reaching adulthood, a wizard's magic power basically stops growing. Have you ever explored this question? Why does it stop growing? Is it because of the bloodline that limits the upper limit of magic power, or is it because the body cannot withstand more magic power?"
"How do we solve this problem? Should we make our blood stronger so that we can produce more mana, or should we make our body stronger so that it can hold more mana?"
Jiang Shan looked at her with a smile: "Wizards are born with the ability to generate magic power. I don't think you can no longer generate magic power after you become an adult. On the contrary, your bodies, because you have become adults, no longer grow, so there is a limit to the amount of magic power you can contain."
The little witch couldn't help but ask, "You mean we should find a way to make our bodies stronger?"
Jiang Shan laughed: "Who said that wizards and mages must stand far away when casting spells? Who said that wizards and mages must be weak in body?"
"You make sense." The little witch's eyes sparkled.
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Of course, becoming extremely powerful is not an easy task. Dumbledore invited me to visit Hogwarts many times, perhaps for this reason."
"It's just that you've brought it up to me now. I won't give you a definite answer though - it's Dumbledore who should talk to me about it, not you, as you're only a student."
