Wizards of Hogwarts

Elrohir is not in the habit of putting all her eggs in one basket.

Although Newt has a good relationship with August, the owner of Obscurus Books, Elrohir has not given up her plan to inquire about the situation at another Whizhard Book Company.

In the next two days, Elrohir has been in Diagon Alley, conducting market research in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to be precise.After all, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is the largest book store in the British wizarding world. Almost all magic books that are publicly sold in the market can be found in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

The placement of books in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore can, to a certain extent, represent the best-selling guide for books in the British wizarding world.

After two days of research, Elrohir confirmed one thing, that is, the book Lord of the Rings is completely promising and its quality can surpass almost all novels on the market.Most of the novels written by wizards at present are just ordinary character adventures, with a little bit of atmosphere exaggeration, and even heroic stories are very rare. Where can there be the magnificent historical legends of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings?

Still, to avoid cultural barriers, Elrohir decided to start by writing a story about his "little" friends.

The Hobbit, a fairy tale-like book about the great adventures of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.

As for the follow-up The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, etc., decisions need to be made based on market reaction, and the longer-term story of The Silmarillion is even further behind.

Five days later.

Elrohir delivered the completed first volume of The Hobbit to Newt and asked him to help pass it on to Boss August for professional editors from Obscurus Books to review the content of the book.

Although it is not a full-length novel at the beginning, Elrohir believes that there is still a market for fairy tale books like The Hobbit.

The length of The Hobbit is not very long, and the main characters involved are only Bilbo Baggins, the melee wizard Gandalf, and the thirteen dwarves headed by Thorin.

The reason why Elrohir is able to write so fast is, firstly, because he bought a thought-reading and fast-writing quill at a high price, and secondly, because he had already read most of the content of this book on the elf ship. Yes, I borrowed it from Frodo.

Originally, there was no need to be so anxious about the novel. Elrohir still had 50 galleons in his pocket, which was enough for him to live comfortably for a long time.

However, Elrohir was quite surprised to discover another thing, which can be called the "dawn of magic"

In the trunk of magical beasts.

Because he returned to his hometown in London and no longer had to wander around outside, Newt used the Invisible Stretching Charm to reopen a vast space in the basement of his home to place the magical animals in the boxes.

After all, the magic suitcase is just a travel item for Newt to use when traveling.After returning home, Newt left the suitcase unused, and almost all the magical animals inside were moved outside to a new space in the basement.

In the magical beast suitcase now, apart from Elrohir and Deborah, there are only some light bugs without intelligence, and the obscurus that is stored in the snowfield habitat.

At this time, three items were placed on the table in front of Elrohir: a silver basswood wand and two magic books.

One book is called Legilimency: The Open Mind and the other is called Occlumency: The Art of Hiddenness.

Judging from the appearance of the covers, these two books are quite old. The dark black covers are dusty and dirty, and the corners are also very worn.In fact, they were not new books that Elrohir bought at Flourish and Blotts, but old books that he found at a thrift store.

According to the owner of the junk shop, these two books do not belong to the category that can be sold publicly because the magic they involve is evil, at least in the eyes of people from the Ministry of Magic, and can easily cause bad effects.

These two books were thrown into a junk shop by a down-and-out pure-blood wizard family some time ago in exchange for money. There were other magic books as well, but Elrohir did not take a fancy to them.

In fact, Elrohir was originally only interested in the book Legilimency: The Open Mind, because Ms. Shicoba Wolfe had specifically stated when she made the silver basswood wand that this was a "Legilimency" wand. The Wand of the Minder.

But the wizard owner of the junk shop reminded that the counter-spell of Legilimency is Occlumency, which happens to be the same type of book as Legilimency: The Open Mind and Occlumency: The Hidden Art, Elrohir So I bought them together.

The price was very cheap, two galleons in total.

What really excites Elrohir is that he has a "feeling" for the magic of Legilimency, an indescribable "feeling" that he has never had before practicing any magic.

No matter what magic Elrohir tried to practice before, no matter how standard his spells were or how standardized his movements were, it had no effect, just like a baboon wielding a stick.

But practicing Legilimency feels very different.

Although there is a lack of practice subjects and it is impossible to accurately judge the connection effect of Legilimency, when Elrohir initially tried to learn "Legilimency", she clearly felt her own mental fluctuations, just like the feeling when communicating with thoughts. Same.

Legilimency may be the most suitable magic for him, Elrohir thought.

According to the system, there is no "magic" in his body and he cannot use magic.But "Legilimency" consumes another kind of power that is biased towards thought, and Elrohir happens to have a similar, or close, expertise in communication of thoughts.

Originally, Elrohir planned to obtain "magic power". In his expectation, there were two ways to solve the problem of magic power.

The first way is blood containing magic power.

Although it has not been proven, according to the records in the book History of Magic in North America, most wizards come from specific magical families.Of course, there are also wizards who come from families without any magical background, but after careful research by magic historians, there must be another wizard among the ancestors of wizards born in No-Maj, at least a human with wizard blood.

In other words, the continuation of the wizard is completed through blood, or blood.

In order to obtain the "magic power" possessed by the wizard, Elrohir speculated that he could absorb some other blood with magical power.

But this process will be very long, and it will require a lot of time, debugging and research, and a lot of money.In addition, the risk of absorbing magic blood is also very high. If you are not careful, not only will you not gain magic power, but it will also contaminate the blood power of the elves.

It takes a long time, the risks are extremely high, and the returns are extremely low.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Elrohir wouldn't be prepared to try this method to obtain magic power.

The second way is a pure energy individual containing magic power.

Yes, Elrohir is talking about "Oscurus"

According to Elohir's speculation, the wizard's power comes from blood, from the blood. However, there is a magic individual in the world that can exist independently of the wizard's body, and that is Obscurus.

However, the risks of researching the Obscurus are higher than the risks of researching magic blood above.

The Obscurus is a mutated magical power, a dark force that is extremely dangerous and destructive. Elrohir witnessed with her own eyes that Credence, who transformed into the Obscurus, almost destroyed the entire New York City.

In addition, Obscurus is also notoriously uncontrollable. Once out of control, it is difficult to wake up with the power of the host alone.

And although the Ministry of Magic of various countries does not have clear legal regulations, if someone really wants to study the power of the Obscurus, it is estimated that the people from the Ministry of Magic will directly execute the person to death as soon as they discover it.

Because the existence of an Obscurus represents the life of a wizard child

Fortunately, Newt still had a separated little Obscurus in his hand, otherwise Elrohir wouldn't have thought about it at all.

But now, both methods can be removed from the plan, as Elrohir discovers a magic he can actually learn: Legilimency.

This is the true dawn of magic
