Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Understanding the rules is actually very simple. The rules here do not refer to the rules of the earth where Andre and the others live, but the rules of the magic sea.

Even Dumbledore doesn't know whether there are rules on earth that wizards can master. At least this is not a question that can be considered at the warlock stage.

If you want to grow from an ordinary wizard to a junior warlock, all you need to do is communicate with the magic sea and understand the rules of the magic sea, a different dimension.

Ms. Camille told Andre a long time ago that the origin of wizards is humans in ancient times, fused with fragments of rules washed out of the magic sea.

Therefore, modern wizards also have bloodlines inherited from these fragments of rules, but because thousands of years have passed, the bloodlines of most wizards have become very thin and mixed, which leads to the difference between modern wizards and ancient warlocks.

In ancient times, those warlocks only needed to awaken their bloodline to easily reach the realm of rules and master the power of a rule. However, modern wizards must go through various difficulties before they can abandon the impurities in their bloodline and choose the most powerful rule to master. .

There are two major difficulties in this process. The first is understanding. You must have a deep understanding of the power of the rules you want to master and understand the manifestation of this rule in the real world. This is why Dumbledore and Eva both told Ender Lie, if he chooses the ability to transform objects and demons given to him by Leviathan, then it will be very difficult to become a junior warlock, and he can even truly set foot in this field in a short time.

Because he can actually use the power of the rules of object-demon transformation. Although he cannot use it for a long time due to his own strength limitations, and it will cause certain damage after each use, there is no doubt that for this rule, As long as he uses the power a few times, he can completely skip the process of understanding it, because what he now masters is the complete version of the transformation between objects and demons, and he does not need to recognize the expression of this regular power.

Of course, Andre gave up this shortcut out of his own considerations, so now he must, like other wizards who are preparing to advance to the junior warlock level, choose a rule power that is unique to him from scratch, and then figure out how to do it. Master this rule.

As for the second difficulty, there is actually no threshold for Andre now.

This difficulty did not exist in ancient times, because the difficulty itself is that the wizard must have the ability to communicate directly with the magic sea.

In ancient times, the magic sea was in the rising tide stage. At that time, even the weakest magical creatures could communicate with this extra-dimensional space at will. The magic power they could mobilize was far beyond what wizards and magical creatures can match today.

But since the magic sea began to ebb, the ability of modern wizards to communicate with the magic sea has become increasingly low. Even high-level warlocks like Dumbledore are far less powerful than humans of the same level in ancient times.

Therefore, if you want to advance to a junior warlock, the first thing you need to do is to increase your magic power. To achieve this goal, the best solution is to use the power of various external objects.

Holy Acorns and bloodline fusion are similar methods. Of course, Voldemort successfully advanced with the help of Horcruxes. Whether this weird black magic also has this function, Andre does not know, but from a principle analysis, it should It is available.

In addition, as far as he knows, Ivan, the mentor of the Free Magic Union, is also very strange. He is the only strong man among this generation of warlocks who has set foot in the field of rules without using external objects to increase the authority of the magic sea. Did he have any other method?

But this is no longer important now. The mentor who always wanted to deprive him of the Holy Acorn has now returned to death and will no longer pose any threat to him.

It sounds like he avenged his cheap grandfather.

As for Andre himself, he does not have to worry about the authority of the Magic Sea at the moment. Even though it is still in the ebb period, the authority level he possesses, who has integrated the characteristics of Leviathan, the first-generation magical creature, is probably higher than that of Dumbledore. Lido, the high-level warlock, is even higher.

There is absolutely no difficulty in communicating with the magic sea. What he needs now is to first find out the most powerful power of rules in his bloodline, and then use the magic sea to continuously nurture it, and finally fully master this rule.

"The bloodline in the wizard's body is essentially the result of the fusion of the fragments of rules rushed out from the magic sea, and is continuously passed down. Of course, this profound power in the bloodline will continue to be dispersed and weakened, so we want to make it achieve the same level as in ancient times. As powerful as it is, you need to strengthen it." Dumbledore patiently taught the boy: "To strengthen our own rules, first of all, we must understand one thing, every wizard, or every person who understands the rules Wizards, the rules they have are actually only a small fragment of the real rules in the magic sea. Because of the lack of ancient information, or perhaps because even the ancient warlocks have never truly explored the mysterious space that gives our world magic, so We don’t know what exactly happened in the magic sea at the beginning to cause so many rule fragments to rush out. However, the existing data records that even the fastest rule fragments fused by ancient warlocks have no real impact on the magic sea. It’s just a rule, and it’s just scratching the surface.”

Andre was stunned. Dumbledore's words were completely different from his original imagination of the Magic Sea. He thought it was a broken world. The reason why a large number of rule fragments rushed out of that world and entered the earth was Because that world was destroyed.

But listening to what Mr. Principal is saying now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Are you saying that, in fact, the rules of the Magic Sea still exist, and what we, the ancient warlocks of Earth, have fused are just the residue of some rules that have fallen off?" Andre hesitated for a moment, then asked according to his own understanding.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore nodded in agreement, and said: "That's more or less the meaning. No one, at least no one now, knows what happened in the magic sea in ancient times, which caused those rule fragments to keep rushing out, but as of now The information is based on the actual experience of us warlocks in the field of rules. There are still complete rules in that different-dimensional space. The power of each rule we have is actually just a partial fragment of the complete rules in the magic sea. Even fragments To describe it is an exaggeration, and a more accurate term is crumbs.”

Well, this was completely different from Andre's original understanding, but in fact it only broke his imagination and had no other impact on how he should understand his own rules.

"Okay, back to the topic, I just said that if you want to strengthen the rules, you need to first understand that the rules you understand are only part of the real rules of the magic sea. The reason is here. The process of strengthening is that you have to continuously deepen your understanding of the magic sea. Understand the rules, and then absorb power from the complete rules of the Magic Sea. The greater the power you absorb, the stronger your rules will be. This is also the key to becoming a warlock, and when you truly set foot in the field of rules, you will learn from the Magic Sea. The strength of the power absorbed in the rules determines your level. Of course, after growing into a junior warlock, the increase in power depends entirely on your magic sea authority and time." Dumbledore explained.

Andre nodded. He roughly understood this process. If he goes by what the principal said, then when he officially grows into a junior warlock, his subsequent promotion will be much simpler, because the Leviathan characteristics give him super powers. His high authority allows him to communicate with the magic sea much more easily than other wizards, even high-level warlocks like Dumbledore and Teresa.

"Professor, I have almost figured out the theory, but how to find the powerful power of rules of the mouth in my blood, I have no clue at all in this regard, and I don't even have any feeling." Andre then asked, this is also The issue he was most concerned about was that, apart from the ability to transform objects and demons given to him by Leviathan, he did not feel any regular power from his body at all.

Dumbledore smiled gently, and then said: "In fact, it is impossible to discover this problem by yourself. For modern wizards, the blood in our bodies is too thin, and there is no chance to rely solely on ourselves. The only way to discover the power of rules hidden deep within the body is to use the power of magic potions."

"Magic potion?" Andre was a little surprised. He thought he had to discover it all by himself and work hard, but he didn't expect that he still needed the help of external objects.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded: "Actually, the Miss Daddario you mentioned before should have been taking this potion when she was in the Free Magical Union and the United States. Of course, maybe Mr. Van Dijk or Ms. Qin didn't let her know, but since you said that those two wanted to use her Ocean Lord bloodline to filter the power of Leviathan's rules, they would inevitably use magic potions to continuously purify her bloodline. , to achieve this goal.”

Andre was silent for a moment. Sophia had never mentioned this to him, but it was not that he couldn't trust Miss Witch. It must have been the same as what Dumbledore said. Teresa and Ivan didn't mention it at all. This kind of thing was revealed to Sophia, and it was very likely that she was secretly given the potion to drink.

"After taking the blood-purifying potion, the most powerful bloodline in the wizard's body will gradually emerge, and you will soon understand what kind of rule power it is. The next step is to rely on your own understanding. Go and communicate with the magic sea, and then continue to strengthen as I said before, until you accumulate enough power to break through and become a junior warlock." Dumbledore continued.

"Professor, do you have the formula for a magic potion?" Andre finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the first step to becoming a warlock is actually not difficult. All you need to do is take the magic potion. The only problem is actually how to understand the rules after purifying the bloodline. According to Mr. Principal, only by understanding deeply enough can you strengthen your own rules with the help of the real rule subject in the magic sea.

"Of course," Dumbledore replied: "How else could I become a warlock? However, the preparation of this kind of potion is relatively difficult, and the materials are quite precious, so I suggest you learn from Severus first. Although he himself has not brewed this kind of potion for a while, with his talent in potions, I believe he should be able to understand this formula faster than you."

As he spoke, the principal took out a piece of parchment from the drawer of his desk. I don't know if he had kept it here or if he had prepared it after receiving Andre's letter before.

"I will go to Professor Snape, but this is not his teaching task after all, so I'm afraid the professor needs you to tell him in advance, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't give extra tutoring to a Gryffindor student like me. ." Naturally, Andre did not refuse Dumbledore's kindness. Although Professor Snape always disliked the little lion of Gryffindor, he would not do anything on purpose with the instructions of the principal. hands and feet.

Dumbledore nodded and said there was no problem. Obviously he knew the character of the head of Slytherin very well.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Professor." After the formula was obtained, Andre had nothing else to discuss with Dumbledore, so he bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

Dumbledore didn't stop him. He smiled and nodded, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will tell Severus."

After leaving the principal's office, Andre went back to Gryffindor Tower first. The classes at nine o'clock this morning were all electives, namely Divination, Divination and Muggle Studies, but these three courses Andre Lie didn't choose any of them, so naturally he didn't have to take it.

As far as he knew, the little witch had chosen all three courses that overlapped in time. As for how she could catch up with the three courses at the same time, she could only rely on a time turner.

Although Hermione didn't even tell him because of Professor McGonagall's warning, Andre, who had known the plot for a long time, naturally knew that the little witch now had a time-turner specially applied for from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

Andre was actually very curious about this magical alchemy prop. After all, the ability to reverse time was not common even in the magical world, not to mention that all currently known time turners were locked up in mysterious places by the Ministry of Magic. Inside the Affairs Department.

Except for the one that the little witch has in her hand, it may be difficult to find similar props in the outside world.

However, Andre's current focus is to comprehend the power of rules as soon as possible and become a true novice warlock, rather than studying alchemy and the possibly more ambitious time issue, so he did not ask Hermione for help in a short period of time. At that time, I started researching.
