Connor's Hogwarts

"If you ask me, Connor, you should get a function for the music box to automatically compose music. I keep listening to these songs. I'm tired of listening to them. If Hogwarts didn't have electricity, I might as well listen to them. Where’s the tape recorder…”

In Connor and Roger's dormitory, Roger was lying on the bed, complaining about his music box. He regretted it now. Just for a commemorative card, he ran to buy a more expensive music box. Isn't it a bit loss?

He shouldn't have been so impulsive in the first place... Roger thought.

Then Roger discovered that Connor was not paying attention to him. He was still immersed in a bunch of magic symbols on his desk that he could no longer understand.

"Connor should have activated a soundproof barrier." Roger remembered that Connor had mentioned this kind of magic application.

As a result, Connor replied to him after a while:

"Of course you can let them play by themselves, but I can't guarantee the quality. And if you're tired of hearing these, can't you buy new music cards to listen to? There are so many music cards in the store, you can't finish them in your lifetime. of."

"Hey, so you can hear me?"

"Saber relayed it, I have the sound barrier on." Connor clapped his hands, put away the pile of magic pattern drafts like mathematical equations on the table, stood up and stretched.

"I want to buy it too, but it's so expensive. I'm poor. I've used up all the pocket money my mother gave me, and all the money for Acromantula venom was spent on the new cards at the beginning of the month..." Roger spread out on the bed. , shed tears of poverty.

"Then I can lend you these music cards."

"Hey, thanks, brother." Roger turned over and asked with great interest: "By the way, Connor, do you have any ways to make money? Christmas is coming soon, and I want to make some extra money. "

"Making money? Ah~ let me think about it..." Connor clapped his hands and his eyes lit up: "Wait, why are you asking me? You know I have never been short of pocket money."

"..." Roger was speechless for a moment: "But haven't you always been the one to take the initiative in your family's business? I think you are very good at making money."

"That's different. It may be difficult to earn one gold galleons when you are penniless, but when you have 10,000 gold galleons, it will be easy for you to earn one gold galleons. ”

As Connor spoke, he collected the information and walked out of the dormitory. He still had to help with the research of magic scrolls today: "So, you'd better ask Fred and the others about their Weasley props. Aren’t they selling very well? Maybe you can partner with them.”

"That makes sense...Hey, where are you going now?"

"Go to the professor and ask some questions. You can eat by yourself tonight, don't wait for me." Connor left the dormitory.

"Saber, help me observe the enemy's situation." Connor was walking in the corridor, and he had to be careful to avoid certain people, but with Artoria's help, this was not a problem.

But there was no response.

"...saber?"

no respond.

"..." Why did he run away again? Connor held his forehead, was he too spoiled to Artoria?

Recently, Artoria is addicted to playing games and often cannot find anyone. She has almost turned into a computer-addicted girl. Connor began to regret why he brought those arcade machines into the school in the first place. He was such a cold-faced swordsman. She was raised like a nerd by herself.

"Forget it...it's not far anyway." Connor cast a disguise spell on himself and walked downstairs. The office of the Magic Scroll Experiment was just downstairs, just a few steps away.

Connor walked to a classroom with a [Magic Research Laboratory] hanging on it, knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in.

Here today is Professor Basilda Barbling, Connor's ancient rune teacher.

"Great! Connor, you're finally here! Come on, come on, I've calculated a few more possible magic patterns here, come and test them out!"

Connor was popular with several of the professors involved in the study, and he was guaranteed to get full marks in his Ancient Runes and Arithmancy classes even if he missed the final exam.

"Okay, Professor Babling. By the way, these are some magic pattern models that I calculated by myself. Professor, please give me some guidance." Connor handed over the document in his hand.

"Okay, okay, no problem! Your previous models were also very inspiring to me! Connor, you are a very smart kid. I believe you will make amazing achievements in rune research in the future." Professor Babling took Connor's draft paper with a smile and read it carefully. Connor smiled, picked up the brush and started his work.

The research experiment on this magic scroll has been started for a long time, but the progress of the research is almost zero.

The main steps of this research are very simple. In fact, there are only two steps: calculation and construction of magic patterns → Connor will explain how to put magic patterns on paper.

Although it sounds simple, it is very difficult to do. The magic pattern system is a very complex system. There are forty-nine types of flat basic magic pattern lines known in the magic world. But if three-dimensional magic patterns are added, Lines, then they are simply too numerous to count.

Although some impossible magic patterns can be eliminated through empirical methods during magic experiments, even if the range of choices is narrowed several times, when constructing a model using magic patterns, it still requires a very complicated arrangement and combination.

It's almost like using an exhaustive method to list all the possibilities, and then try to replace them one by one. This is a very huge project.

From Connor's point of view, this was an experiment done entirely by chance, and these two Ravenclaw professors were the only ones who did not find the experiment hard and boring.

Connor actually couldn't stand this stupid method. The efficiency of this method was really low.

But there is no other way. Whether it is scientific research or magic research, in most cases it is a boring and boring process of repeated experiments, so just get used to it.

There are no tricks on the road to truth, unless you are lucky.

Connor acted as an "experimental instrument" in the magic scroll experiment. He wanted to use painting magic to turn the professors' ideas into reality. These professors were really strong in their ability to accurately depict magic patterns. But Connor's.

Arrange the patterns, combine the magic patterns, draw on the paper, and destroy the paper.

Arrange the patterns, combine the magic patterns, draw them on paper, and explode.

Arrange textures…

After endless experiments, the afternoon passed like this, and there was still no progress in today's experiment.

"Hey, it's a pity, but I have some clues. I think the λ magic pattern at this position is used incorrectly. It should be better to change it to ξ. At least there will be no explosion. This method should work. of…"

Professor Babling loves magic patterns and is passionate about research. Every time she talks about this kind of issue, she always gets excited unconsciously, like a Frankenstein.

Connor looked at the professor who was gradually becoming fanatical, scratched his head and said, "Professor, should I go back first?"

"Oh! By the way, Connor, the two models you just set up are great. They are already a very complete magic pattern, but it is not very feasible to apply it to scroll magic..."

Professor Babling held Connor and explained for a while before letting him go without saying anything:

"Connor, you have made great progress, and the teacher is very pleased! I will definitely give you full marks at the end of this semester!"

"Professor, I still have many shortcomings, and there are still many unknowns waiting for me to learn." Connor smiled: "Then I will go back now? It is already dinner time, Professor, you should also take a rest. "

"Of course, I'll leave after finishing this one. You can go back first," Professor Babling said with a kind smile. She was really satisfied with Connor as a student. "By the way, there is one more thing!"

Then she seemed to remember something. She ran to the table and took a manuscript and handed it to Connor:

"This is a research report from the past few weeks. Please help me bring this to Professor Dumbledore tonight, please."

"It's okay, it's easy." Connor took the manuscript, said goodbye to the professor, and left the classroom.
