A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 349 The end of modern magic?
The professor of Beauxbatons failed to find out any news, and seemed a little disappointed.In fact, Felix could hear a hint of an alliance. He, who is both a Hogwarts professor and a director of Beauxbatons, should be the most suitable person to bridge the gap.

But at present, I don't even know what the competition is, so I am eager to help, I can only say that I think too much.

He didn't intend to get involved either.

If he had to choose one of these two schools, it would undoubtedly be Hogwarts.Just like asking Nick LeMay the same question, his answer will definitely be Beauxbaton.

For the next few days, Felix stayed in Beauxbaton's library, looking through interesting materials to fill his knowledge base.

His greatest achievement is not a specific magic, but a novel perspective on knowledge.

Felix first discovered the anomaly from the alumni book donation area in the library: Like Hogwarts or Beauxbaton, they actually buy new books every year to fill the library, but in addition, they also accept alumni The gifts of the University include not only some precious ancient books, but also the academic achievements of well-known alumni.

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

But Felix found that in terms of understanding the same magic, Beauxbaton's collection of books had slight deviations from what he knew, not individual deviations, but overall deviations.

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

In the middle, there are Beauxbatons and Hogwarts.

……

One late night, the sky was as pure as a black velvet cloth, and the full moon had only passed for a few days.

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

'If you cover your eyes with a fine veil, over time, you will naturally turn a blind eye. It does not affect your vision, but it really exists.

If you use color to express the difference, Hogwarts is transparent silver white, and Beauxbatons is sea blue-it doesn't matter which color, but everything you see is stained with this color. '

"Maybe this is the difference in perception of magic brought about by the subtle differences between cultures. It does not affect the casting of spells, but..." He stopped and thought carefully.

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

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

Afterwards, he used Occlumency to temporarily block his knowledge of the Iron Armor Curse, including derivative spells such as the Humanoid Iron Armor Curse and All Protection, and even sealed up all the magic knowledge related to the spells. Then he picked up a thick book, Open the above introduction about the Iron Armor Curse and learn it from the beginning.

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

What he wants to do is to temporarily put aside his previous knowledge of magic and the shackles of experience, start from the most basic foundation, relearn the Iron Armor Curse, and eliminate the previous interference as much as possible.

He didn't know if it would work, but his gut told him it would be a good way to experience magic.

He actually tried to start with the simplest 'Luminescence' spell, but unfortunately, this thing has become his instinct. He can block tangible magical knowledge, but he cannot block instinct.

After weighing, he chose the Iron Armor Curse.As one of the sixth-level magic mastered, its potential is also extremely strong, unlike some simple spells, no matter how practiced, the effect will be the same.

It took him less than an hour to master the spell again, and a thin magic barrier appeared in front of him.

Felix couldn't help complaining to himself: "I've never cast such a weak Iron Armor Curse, it can be broken with a snap of my fingers." But this is actually the level of the first time he successfully cast the Iron Armor Curse when he was not yet in school.

But that memory is too old.

"It's been a long time since I've had this exciting feeling. I hope it can give me a surprise. Next, it's the process of getting familiar with the magic. In addition to a lot of practice, there is also the analysis of the spell." Felix is ​​familiar with this process, he sees Looking at the stack of books in front of him, these are books related to the Iron Armor Curse.

He opened one of them, read the contents carefully, and after understanding, he adjusted his movements according to the above, stopped for a while and continued to read the book, continued to practice after reading, and repeated.

His understanding of the Iron Armor Curse continued to improve at an astonishing speed, and the power of the spell continued to increase, and soon reached the second, third, and fourth levels, and 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 color intertwined, the edges seem to have burnt marks, and the protruding fracture It also has a brass metallic luster.

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

That's right, he practiced according to Beauxbaton's collection of books, and everyone who can leave his experience in the library will not be too bad at it, at least he won't make up nonsense and give wrong answers.

He had some guesses in his mind. In fact, after everyone learns magic, the external characteristics of the spell will be different, but these details... In fact, no one cares about them, and they all come down to normal phenomena.

Even if the same person casts the same magic, it cannot be the same every time. In the eyes of most wizards, this is not a problem at all. If you have to break the crucible and ask the bottom line, others will think you are delusional.

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

Felix expected that there might be a difference, but he didn't expect that the difference would be so big when the starting point was the same——

The Iron Armor Curse he learned from Hogwarts, practiced to the sixth level, is to draw a golden half-body armor from the air, of course, it can also be a shield; but the Iron Armor Curse learned from Beauxbatons, practiced to At level four or so, it looks like a piece of corroded broken iron sheet.

"I seem to have discovered something extraordinary." Felix's eyes brightened, and he decided to put aside the original Iron Armor Curse for the time being, and practice Beauxbaton's version of the Iron Armor Curse to the level of the sixth-level spell in a short time. level and see what the result will be.

He also has an interesting idea——

If the understanding of the two six-level Iron Armor Curse is combined into one, will it take it to a whole new level?And is this the level reached by the four founders of Hogwarts?
"Magical creatures, magical creatures..." Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw's words, he always remembered.

But how to do it, he had no idea before.

Now I finally have an idea. Combining the two understandings of the Iron Armor Curse, it may be possible to reach a seventh-level curse.

Would it be so, he wasn't actually sure, but it was worth a try.

The power of the seventh-level spell is still second. Felix probably won't be stronger than the ancient magic he has mastered, but maybe he can take this opportunity to glimpse the true face of the magic of the Iron Armor Curse?

That's right, the original face.

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

As he told the little wizard at the Rune Club, "Maybe we're just getting back our spellcasting instinct."

Just like simple magic such as fluorescent flashes and clear water like a spring, Felix only needs to think about it in his mind now, and he can do it.

This process does not require any spells, he simply 'want' the cup to come over, so the magic is done for him, similar to how a little wizard who has not gone to school can do all kinds of incredible things with his powerful emotions when he is in 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 magic riots of the little wizards may not be very powerful, but every time they are a feast of magnificent compound magic. At the moment when the magic power blooms, they are omnipotent gods. "

……

Felix thought about it for a while, and felt that the reason why he learned the same spell in two different ways was probably because he was always in the state of the blind man touching the elephant, and only touched the real corner of magic.

It's like two people climbing a mountain, starting from the same place, then choosing different forks, and finally meeting at the top of the mountain.In other words, they met on the mountainside, and then cooperated with each other to complete the last part of the journey.

He recorded these conjectures and put them in the thinking hut. These things are completely fantasy to the little wizard, and can be equated with "The Adventures of Mick the Little Wizard".But for those old wizards who study magic theory, it is definitely a treasure.

The day before the start of school, Felix bid farewell to Mrs. Maxime. Beauxbaton's students would not go to Hogwarts until October, and he promised to clean up the dust for everyone at that time.

He went to Diagon Alley first, entrusted Lupine with the company's affairs, and returned to Hogwarts before Lupine drew out his wand and cast a curse on him.

Returning to the long-lost ancient rune office, he felt surprisingly relaxed.He took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket, let Sniffing Varun come out, and said with a smile, "This is your new home."

Xixiu had a Medal of Merlin hanging around his neck, holding an hourglass in his hand, and kept looking around.That means, can I poke a hole here and find a baby?
Felix glanced at it, and a quill on the table suddenly jumped up and transformed into a small bench. Varun straightened up reflexively, waved his hand, and sighed.
