MTL - Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord-Chapter 11 Duka Stephen

After the incident in Diagon Alley a month ago, Qin Weijie had a sense of urgency and fear in his heart. This sense of urgency and fear forced Qin Weijie to have the ability to protect himself as soon as possible.

And right now, magic is his closest approach.

Of course, he also thought about trying to learn the Daomen incantation technique that his master left him, but after several attempts, Qin Weijie didn't find any changes at all, and he wasn't sure whether it worked or not.

In the end, I simply put the spell technique aside and focused on the study of magic.

Magic is not a single discipline, but a complex whole of countless disciplines. It is a research method intended to understand the origin of the world.

Magic has a long history, much older than science, so long that there is no evidence to test it. Its disciplines are very complex, and many places overlap with existing science, while some places deviate far from it.

After learning about magic, Qin Weijie suddenly found that he couldn't tell the boundary between magic and science.

Even in Qin Weijie's view, as long as magic and science continue to develop, one day the two will meet in one place, and on the day when the two meet, the boundaries of the four-dimensional space will be broken.

If he had to find out the essential difference between magic and science at the moment, with Qin Weijie's simple understanding of magic theory, he would only say two words - magic power.

The foundation of all magic comes from "magic"

"Magic" is the innate power of wizards. Only those who possess "magic" can be called wizards and can perform magic.

Although there are many types of magic subjects, they are all inseparable from the guidance of magic.

The science of conjuration requires magic to guide the wand to cast magic, the configuration of potions also needs to be guided by magic, the science of divination requires the ability to access 'spiritual vision', and the science of transfiguration requires magic to change the arrangement, combination and nature of cells.

Everything in magical civilization is inseparable from magic, just as everything in human modern scientific and technological civilization is inseparable from electricity.

From the analysis point of view, it is only that the power of wizards comes from themselves, while the power of Muggles comes from external forces. It is difficult to say which is better or worse, and it depends on the situation.

"Hey, who is stronger or weaker, it's just that wizards see the strength of magic, and Muggles see the strength of firepower." Qin Weijie personally understands this.

As for magic power, it is also graded.

Most of the works describe:

After the age of 3, the wizard will awaken the magic power before the age of 10. After the age of 10, he can no longer awaken the magic power. The specific reason is unknown.

And this is also the fundamental reason why all magic schools require students to enter at the age of eleven.

Because after the age of 10, it is destined to be impossible to awaken magic power, so there is no need to enter a magic school to learn to control magic power.

Almost all wizards, when they just awakened, have extremely unstable magic power, and will always leak their magic power unconsciously due to emotional fluctuations.

Of course, there are exceptions. Some wizards have a natural perfect driving ability and can control the leakage of magic power extremely well. These people are generally called geniuses.

From the day of awakening, magic power will grow with the wizard, and after the age of ten, it will enter a period of rapid growth of magic power.

During this period, as the age increases, the magic power of the wizard will become stronger and stronger.

Of course, there is a limit to the growth of magic power.

After a wizard reaches the age of seventeen, the growth of magic power will stagnate, and the magic power of most wizards will stop there. Only a very few wizards with extraordinary talents will continue to grow, but they will not exceed the age of twenty.

This golden decade of magical growth has also created the level of magical power.

Qin Weijie learned from the book "The Theoretical Basis of Contemporary Magic":

In today's magic world, magic power is generally classified into the tenth order. The first seven orders can basically correspond to the magic power of most wizards from the first to seventh years. The seventh order is also the magic level of most wizards in the magic world today. Wizards above the seventh rank can be awarded the title of "Great Wizard" and can apply to join Wizengamot.

Although he understood that the magic power of wizards is divided into grades, Qin Weijie still does not know the meaning of these grades.

In other words, I don't know the strength of each level of magic power, and the functional capabilities of each level.

For this reason, Qin Weijie has read a lot of books on the basics of magic, but to be honest, it is too cumbersome to search for a knowledge point in so many books.

Qin Weijie: "Although I'm used to the way of life in this era, I still prefer the Internet..."

Finally, Qin Weijie finally found the answer in a book called "An Introduction to Magic Power" after nearly a week of traveling through the sea of ​​books.

"First of all, I want to explain that I do not agree with the classification of magic power levels recognized by the magic world today, at least in part..."

The author of this book begins with this sentence, which seems extremely deviant.

"As for the recognized division of magic power, I only agree with the division of the first seven ranks. After years of research by my team, we found that the magic power of wizards is in the first seven ranks, and the growth of magic power of each rank is 3 times that of the previous rank, and When it comes to the division of the eighth-level magic power, the ninth-level magic power, and the tenth-level magic power, it is only 1, 2, and 3 times that of the seventh-level magic power."

"This is by no means in line with the laws of magic, so I think that the current tenth-level magic power can only be counted as the eighth-level magic power. Moreover, after our research, we found that there is still improvement above the eighth-level magic power (the so-called tenth-level magic power). space."

"My colleague Puthosas Quill used Eastern 'meditation' to improve his magic power after the age of 20, and he surpassed the eighth order of magic (the recognized tenth order of magic), so we think that magic The limit of magic power is not the eighth-order magic power (recognized as the tenth-order magic power), and we will continue to explore the boundaries of magic power with other methods in the future."

"Readers who want to know about the improvement of magic can look forward to our next book, "The Fountain of Magic," which is expected to be officially published in five months."

After closing the "Magic Introduction", Qin Weijie took a special look at the publication date - the first edition in June 1928

"A book from ten years ago? There should be a follow-up "The Fountain of Magic"."

After speaking, Qin Weijie sent an owl letter to Lihen Bookstore, and Lihen Bookstore sent a reply that afternoon.

The letter did not come with the "The Fountain of Magic".

The letter from Lihen Bookstore only stated that no relevant books could be found, and attached a bunch of apologetic nonsense.

That night, Qin Weijie opened the "Introduction to Magic" again. The author of the book is Duka Stephen. The column of the author's introduction states that he graduated from Hogwarts in 1910, then entered the Ministry of Magic, and served as the Ministry of Magic in 1925. Chairman of the Experimental Spells Committee, head of the Department of Mysteries in 1927, left the Ministry of Magic in 1928 to teach at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, at the time of writing this book he was head of the Curriculum Research Group at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Professor of theory.

Although the current Qin Weijie, a little magician, can't confirm whether the theory proposed by Duka Stephen is true, Qin Weijie is still very interested in him.

As for the reason, that is, Qin Weijie has also read a lot of books (at least fifteen books on magic theory) in more than a month, and only Duka Stephen's books frequently mention the East.

Duka Stephen himself is very fascinated by things in the eastern kingdom. He believes that the future of magic is in the east, and the secret of magic is also hidden in the east.

He himself even highly praised Eastern yoga, meditation and Chinese meditation, all of which he believes are beneficial to magic.

Moreover, in Qin Weijie's view, Duka Stephen is the only objective scholar who does not advocate social Darwinism and pure-blood supremacy, and the theories such as pure-blood supremacy and racial differences have never appeared in his works.

In other magic theory books, there are some "pure blood wizards are more suitable for magic", "white people's magic power grows far more than black people and yellow people", "magic originated in the west, it is God who guides us to educate the world", etc. kind of speech...

Qin Weijie himself was extremely disgusted by this, and only Duka Stephen's book was an objective study of magic theory, so Qin Weijie was more interested in his work.

But unfortunately, Qin Weijie only saw one copy of Duka Stephen's book, "An Introduction to Magic", which was found in the corner of the library of Welfare Manor.

After several days of searching, he found nothing in the end, so Qin Weijie temporarily put aside the search for Duka Stephen's follow-up works.

Continue to invest in other studies.

For more than a month, Qin Weijie practiced simple magic every day in addition to reading books.

I don't know if it's because of his unique talent, but all the spells recorded in the book are basically not difficult for Qin Weijie. Of course, he only studied the first-year spells and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

As for other books, Qin Weijie basically didn't read them.

Qin Weijie knew exactly what he needed, and all he wanted was to gain some self-protection ability.

Just tell me, how can you protect yourself after taking astronomy class?

Summon a meteor to kill the opponent?

That's not an astronomy class, but a forbidden spell class.

…

One day in March 1938, Qin Weijie was reading a book in the study as usual, when there was a knock on the door, Qin Weijie temporarily put down the book at hand. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

"Master Welfare, today's Daily Prophet and The Times, and I have prepared some black tea for you." Mrs. Carter's voice came from outside the door.

"Take it in."

Reading newspapers and drinking black tea every day has become Qin Weijie's most recent job.

what is this? Enjoy early retirement?

Mrs. Carter put down the tea and the newspaper: "Do you need anything else?"

"I don't need it for now, Mrs. Carter. Go and do your own thing."

"Okay, Mr. Welfare."

Mrs. Carter smiled gently, and simply helped Qin Weijie clean up the messy desk.

Just then, a gray owl flew in outside the window.

Mrs. Carter hurriedly put down her work and took the envelope from the owl's mouth.

"Master Foley, this is a letter from Mr. Marquis. He asked me to inform you that he will send someone to pick you up tonight to attend an important banquet at Foley Castle. I think I must go and prepare your clothes for tonight."

Saying that, Mrs. Carter hurriedly turned and left.

Qin Weijie glanced at the clock beside him: "Oh my God, you started preparing clothes for me at nine in the morning? Are you sure you didn't make me a dress from scratch?"

Qin Weijie shook his head helplessly, put down the book in his hand, took a sip of black tea from the teacup, and picked up today's newspaper.

The front page headline of The Times, a photo of Hitler's speech, with the Austrian capital Vienna's Heroes' Square in the background

"It's already March 16th, has Austria also been annexed? The real chaos is about to begin, it's ridiculous that these British politicians are still helping Hitler to shout... The century-old British Empire, the myth that the sun never sets, the giant is about to fall already."
