Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

In the magic world, there are many spells or props involving the soul.The Horcruxes made by Voldemort, the Imperius Curse in the Unforgivable Curse, and the resurrection stone ring in Gunter's old house are all related to the soul.

But when it comes to using the soul to read knowledge, the only thing Andre can think of that is similar is the meditation disk in the principal's office.However, that is just reading memory and has nothing to do with the soul.

So Andre had not yet fully figured out how to interpret the bronze disc in his hand. He could only put the golden sacred acorn inside into his inner pocket, and then concentrate on staring at the inside of the disc. Those intricate patterns that seem to be always rotating.

Time passed by minute by second, and just when Andre couldn't help but want to give up, he suddenly found that the environment he was in had completely changed.

It is no longer the simple wooden house made by the transfiguration technique, but an oak hall with a natural atmosphere.

"The new inheritor?" A tall woman wearing a simple brown robe stood in front of him.

Andre, who had not yet recovered, was startled. He took a step back in a hurry. The lady in front of him was at least two meters tall. Although she was not tall enough to compare with Hagrid, she was still very tall to him. Oppressive.

The woman smiled and said, "It seems that little guy Aubrey didn't tell you what's in the inheritance offering plate."

The grandfather's name spoken by the other party made Andre calm down and said: "Actually, my grandfather passed away 19 years ago. It was only today that I learned about the family inheritance from his portrait."

The woman didn't seem surprised when she heard this. She just nodded sadly: "Although I can't feel the passage of time in the outside world here, Aubrey did tell me something when he came in last time. This may be his destiny."

"So, you are Anna's child?" After a pause, the woman continued to ask.

"Yes, my name is Andrei Jovanovich Ivanov. Dear madam, I haven't asked for your name yet." Andrei bowed and saluted, facing the man in charge of Adri. With the inheritance of the An family, he felt that it would be better for him to be a little more humble.

"Camille Adrian. Calculating, I should be your ancestor, but it's too long ago. Hundreds of descendants of the Adrian family have accepted my inheritance. Even I don't know what you should do. You already called me, so just call me Camille.”

Andre nodded respectfully. His grandfather only left a portrait, and his height could not be seen. The figure of this lady made Andre understand where he inherited the gene that allowed him to grow to 11 meters at the age of 1.7. .

But now is not the time to think about this. He immediately said: "Ms. Camille, can you let me out first? I have a prisoner outside, but I have not restricted her movements. If she finds me at this moment, If you don’t have the ability to move…”

From the moment he entered the hall, he guessed that he was experiencing something like an out-of-body experience, so he was naturally worried about Sophia who was huddled in the corner of the wooden house.

Camille looked at the little boy in front of him in a funny way, trying to pretend to be mature: "You also captured a female prisoner? This is not like what our Adrian family does."

The other party's teasing tone made Andre a little anxious, but he did not dare to scold this lady who was obviously an antique. He could only anxiously recount what happened in the past two days.

"That's it!" Kamil hammered his palm and said, "But don't worry, the passage of time in the inheritance altar is different from that in the outside world. If you stay here for a month, it will only be a few days outside. Just seconds."

Seeing what Camille said, Andre finally relaxed. He didn't want to be stabbed in the back by Sophia, who was already almost under control.

"So, let me first tell you the basic concepts about ancient warlocks. This was originally what little Aubrey was supposed to do, but who made him unfortunately have an accident." The Druid sect priestess continued Said: "If you want to understand ancient warlocks, you must first understand where the magic power of wizards comes from. Do you have any ideas about this?"

Hearing this question, Andre perked up, and he immediately told his previous guess about magic power.

Camille shook her head and said with a smile: "Although it is far from the truth, for a child who has not received ancient magic education, you are already very good."

"In fact, magic does not exist in our world. All magic is performed with power borrowed from another world, and that world... is called shallow sea by our ancient warlocks, or... magic sea."

shallow sea!This theory took Andre's breath away. He had never thought that the wizard's magic was accomplished by magic borrowed from other worlds.

However, Camille ignored his shock and continued: "The ancient warlocks, or the first magical creatures on the earth, were born from the magic tide of the shallow sea. During the last magic tide, part of the shallow sea rule fragments He was rushed to the earth and merged with some of the creatures on the earth, and magic appeared."

The amount of information contained in the words of the priest lady was too great, so Andre couldn't help but ask: "What are the rule fragments you are talking about?"

Camille glanced at him: "This problem is more complicated. You can understand it as a kind of authority. Each rule fragment corresponds to a specific magic power. The magical creature that fuses this fragment can borrow it from Qianhai. To obtain specific magic power. For example, some magical creatures can be invisible, and their ancestors are fused with rule fragments that represent invisible magic power. The fragments themselves also come in different sizes. The larger they are, the higher the authority, and they can be borrowed from Qianhai The more magic there is.”

Andre was still a little puzzled: "But if you go by what you said, then shouldn't we wizards also have similar abilities? But in fact, our magic comes from acquired learning."

"Haha, do you know about the Disguise Magus? Do you know about Parseltongue? These innate abilities are the inheritance of rule fragments. Of course, we generally refer to this inherited ability as magical characteristics. In addition, it must be explained, The two abilities I gave examples do not actually come from humans, but from magical creatures."

"What do you mean?" Of course Andre knew these two abilities. Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, was a famous Parseltongue, and his descendant Voldemort also had this ability.

Camille shook his head and said with some disdain: "Either hybridized with magical creatures, or mixed his own blood with magic, otherwise wizards should not have these talents. The first wizards used their souls and Qianhai The fusion of rule fragments will not directly bring magical properties, but it will allow us to borrow the magic power of Qianhai like other magical creatures. As for why there is such a difference, I don’t know the specific reason. But there is no doubt that, This is a great initiative, because human wizards who sacrifice their natural characteristics can learn any magic and create any spell."

"As for other creatures, especially humanoid species such as goblins, house elves, and vampires, they were originally members of the human race. Unfortunately, their ancestors chose to use their bodies to fuse with the fragments of shallow sea rules. You also don't know what those creatures look like. Have you seen it? Do you think we are all still the same species? What's more, the spells that all humanoid magical creatures can master never depend on their own learning ability. What determines their strength is only what is contained in the blood passed down by their ancestors. Rule fragments.”

"Speaking of which, do you understand why ancient warlocks are more powerful than modern wizards?"

Faced with this question, Andre, who was still digesting and absorbing the concept of the magic sea, thought for a while before replying: "Because the first generation of warlocks integrated the fragments of shallow sea rules you mentioned, as descendants, we are just inherited. So it’s actually decreasing, right?”

Kamil nodded appreciatively: "Part of the reason is that the early ancient sorcerers did have higher authority over the shallow sea than we and today's weaker modern wizards, and they are more closely connected with the shallow sea. But the most important thing is not this. Factor. It's the magic tide I just mentioned. During the rising tide of the shallow sea, even today's wizards can borrow more magic power from the shallow sea. It's just that after the first big tide passed, the shallow sea has been at ebb for thousands of years. In this state, not only are there no more fragments of rules rushing out of the shallow sea, but even the magic power that wizards can borrow is getting weaker and weaker. This is why ancient warlocks will gradually disappear from the history books of the magical world. They once ruled the world. King, but in the end it can’t resist the laws of nature.”

Hearing this, Andre had a new question. He frowned and said: "Ms. Camille, since according to you, even ancient warlocks can't get rid of the adverse effects of low tide in shallow seas, then even if they learn The inheritance of ancient sorcerers cannot exert its due power."

"Yes, this is true under normal circumstances." Camille nodded in agreement, and she said with a smile: "But there are always some exceptions, right? The Holy Acorn inherited by our Adrian family is this exception, although it cannot change the ebb of the shallow sea. The current situation will not give the successor a closer connection with Asami, which also means a more powerful magic power."

"Are you saying that the acorn is actually a fragment of the rules?" Camille's words made Andre involuntarily think of this possibility.

"Of course not!" However, Camille broke his illusion mercilessly: "I have to say that the Holy Acorn is the descendant of the first generation of rule fragments. The oak tree that produced the Holy Acorn is indeed the earliest One of the magical plants that is fused with the rule fragments. The rules that the oak tree is fused with are also very special. I don’t know how to describe it to you, but you only need to know that through the holy acorn, you can have the characteristics of other magical creatures. It is also the origin of the Animagus, the magical creature secretly taught by our Druid sect.”
