Chapter 188 Ancient Magic

In the silent night, Ian sat in front of the desk with a longing in his eyes.Under the candlelight, he wrote on the parchment with a concentrated expression. At this moment, this bedroom seems to be far away from all the hustle and bustle of the world.

"I was naive... This college plan is a bit whimsical."

Ian closed the book with a wry smile. Ancient magic texts were not as simple as he thought, and he also discovered a fatal problem. Some magic texts can temporarily store magic power, but where does the magic power come from...

He didn't want to be a generator, and if he couldn't solve the source of magic power, he couldn't popularize the application of magic text.But...he is still unwilling to give up the study of rune, because this subject has opened a new door for him.

ancient magic.

This is something that Ian has always ignored. It is true that modern magic is very convenient, but this does not mean that ancient magic has no merits.

Especially those ancient magics that are as powerful as natural disasters, in the apocalyptic world, they are the big killers, 100% are the sword of Damocles hanging above the head.And this kind of strength is also what he lacks.

A strong deterrent can be used without, but it cannot be without.Before, Ian wanted to find a chance to show off his muscles. At that time, he planned to use magic like Fiendfyre. Now it seems that ancient magic is more suitable.

"There is a long way to go!" Ian sighed wearily.

The complexity of the runes and the hardships of reversing ancient magic, his whole afternoon of focused reading, can't even be considered superficial.

……

Half a month passed in a flash.

During this period of time, apart from finding time to date Hermione, he devoted all his energy to researching ancient runes, and the effort was also directly proportional to the return.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

A pebble-sized ball of light immediately appeared at the top of Ian's wand, which was gentle and healing. But if you look closely at its core, you can see that there is a magical pattern engraved on the innermost side of the light ball.

His only gain in the past half month is the ancient magic deduction of the Illumination Curse.Similarly, its root is also a representative rune - light.

The ancient ancestors' primitive fear of darkness also made "Light" one of the earliest magic texts to appear.

At this moment, the illuminating spell released by Ian based on the rune is no longer a traditional illuminating spell. It combines healing, dispelling, inspiring, and many other attributes that people in ancient times expected.

The most important point is that there is no upper limit to ancient magic...

That's right, at this moment he has a feeling that if he releases this lighting spell with all his strength, not to mention lighting up Hogwarts, half of England can instantly turn from night to day.

But he quickly extinguished this childish thought. He showed off that it was really pointless and gained the approval of some professors and the admiration of other young wizards. Stop it... Lions never show off their prowess in a herd of antelopes.

"The increase of magic power to the magic spell is most vividly reflected in ancient magic..." After extinguishing the lighting spell, Ian also felt a little emotional in his heart.

Magic amplification is also mentioned in the original book. Mad-Eye Moody once said that with the little wizard's pitiful magic power, releasing the Death Curse would only cause him to have a nosebleed at most.

Although Ian also verified the authenticity of this point in the later stage, it is still not as shocking as it is in ancient magic at this moment. It is entirely because of how powerful you are, how much power you can release...

Thinking of this, another thing quietly appeared in his mind.

"The Elder Wand..."

It was also an augmentation spell, but the augmentation principle of the Elder Wand made him very interested.But this thing is in Dumbledore's hands, and he didn't intend to ask for it. Although he could ask for it, there was no need to open his mouth. Just asking for it is not a long-term solution, it is nothing more than waiting a few years.

With the Philosopher's Stone full of vitality, what he is most afraid of now is time.

Not only the Elder Wand, but also the Three Hallows of the Death, he was very interested, especially in this experience, the Resurrection Stone played a crucial factor.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but look down at his left index finger. On the skin at the second joint of the index finger, a group of dark marks were clearly visible.This is the place where he used to wear Gaunt's ring, and after Nirvana was reborn, the ring disappeared miraculously, leaving only this group of tattoo-like marks.

He also asked Dumbledore about this, but it seemed that the old headmaster couldn't explain why. After a detailed inspection, he told him that the mark was harmless.

After tidying up his scattered thoughts, Ian took out his pocket watch, confirmed that it was past the dinner serving time, and planned to go to the kitchen to settle the dinner.

Going to the kitchen to eat is also a kind of walk and recreation, and it is always right to combine work and rest.

Three pies, a piece of cheese, and a jug of pumpkin juice were all Ian had for dinner.During the period, he also met two Hufflepuffs who sneaked out to give him extra food, and he just pretended not to see them.

After he ate in a hurry, he returned to his dormitory to sleep.It seems like there are no classes every day, but it is more fulfilling than attending classes. In the morning, I borrow books from the library, take them back to the dormitory to study, and have extra meals in the kitchen in the evening.

This is true every day.

……

Ian's side is a quiet and simple life, but there is one person who is proud of himself.

Gerald Lockhart knew his chance had come when he received Dumbledore's invitation.Although the novel brought him high popularity, he clearly knew that those fame were only short-lived and illusory.

He must have real experience in order to convert fame into real prestige.And becoming a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is the most ideal way. The only professor of magic school in the British Isles, this status is enough to bring him countless hidden benefits.

"What do you know... huh!" Lockhart couldn't help thinking that when the textbooks were determined before the start of school, the old Magna strongly opposed the use of his own books as textbooks.

He didn't care about those things at all, even if he paid for it, he still needed the status of a Hogwarts professor.

Especially the "Rosen's Fantastic Journey" published this year, although the author is an unknown newcomer, he has never even heard of that funny pen name.

But the book's terrifying sales volume and continued stamina made him a little scared, fearing that he would be surpassed and then forgotten by people... So even though there were rumors that this position was cursed, he still accepted the invitation willingly.

But as Dumbledore said, the rumors were just rumors, and he had been here for three weeks and never felt the presence of any curse.In terms of feelings... there was only the warm hospitality of those 7th grade school girls, but it was limited to that, and he did not dare to act beyond his status at all.

Lockhart is very clear that this is not romantic France, but in the traditional and rigid British territory, once the teacher-student relationship is exposed, he will never have a foothold here.
