Chapter 59: Dig a hole

Since Darren and Hermione handed over the "Living Point Map" to Professor Flitwick, they have simply enjoyed the treatment of a private teacher in the Charms class, and Professor Flitwick is "knowing everything and saying everything" about their problems, and he must give Gryffindor extra points in every class, and from time to time he calls Darren and Hermione to the office for tutoring, which makes other students extremely unhappy, especially the Ravenclaws, who wonder if Darren and Hermione have put a spell on Professor Flitwick, and even Harry and Ron have taken the trouble to come over and ask, what kind of spell do they use?!

In this regard, Darren can only say "hehe", these bear children really dare to think and curse Flitwick, although they look short, but they are men who have been duel champions!

However, to be able to have this kind of treatment, fools don't need it, which is equivalent to giving Darren the opportunity to get in touch with the magic of the senior students in advance, and the senior students may not be able to enjoy it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Professor Flitwick, you've been talking about the magic of the 'Living Point Map', and I'm wondering, can we make the same magic item?"

"You also want to make a 'living map'?" Flitwick smiled, "It's too difficult, even I can't make it, maybe in a few years, after I've studied all the magic on the 'living map', then it's a little bit possible." ”

"I don't understand, isn't magic supposed to be improving all the time? According to you, this map is a product of a hundred years ago, and the knowledge of magic today is even more backward than it was a hundred years ago?" Darren really didn't understand, in addition to the "Living Point Map", there was also the "Deathly Hallows", things that had been hundreds of years ago had become legends, but there was no stronger wand.

"It's not as simple as you say," Hearing Darren's words, Flitwick's face showed some helplessness, "The main thing is the change in the direction of research, in the past, wizards were relatively free in their magical research, and as a result, a lot of evil magic appeared, and many of the current black magic were studied in previous eras, such as the creation of magical creatures that were once very popular, so there are creatures like 'Kemeramon', 'Hippogriff', and even more evil behaviors." ”

"And those actions, not only because of the prevalence of black magic, caused serious harm to wizards, but also because of things like 'plague', ' Corpse manipulation' and other magic, had a bad impact on the Muggle world, and eventually led to the Muggles' large-scale hunting of wizards, those hunting activities, although there is no danger to adult wizards, but they brought disaster to underage wizards, especially young wizards from Muggle families, at the same time, witch hunting operations also made the inheritance of the wizarding world face serious difficulties, except for the pure-blood family, the half-wizarding family was almost wiped out, in that social background, as long as someone found a little wizard clues, they would face the pursuit of the whole village, and there were professional witch hunting teams……”

"So, the wizards are gradually restricting the study of the dark arts, and instead study the magic that is safer and easier to control, such as the ones you are learning now, although not as powerful as the previous spells, but easier to master. ”

"According to the record, at your age, you can only learn Potions class, and Charms class will take at least another two years, because those spells are quite dangerous, and even then, more than a third of the apprentices will die in the first year of learning spells! ”

"So, it's not that the current level of magic is not as good as before, it's a matter of development direction, and even if it is purely measured from the magic output and effect of a spell, modern spells have a higher output efficiency, but many spell combinations are forbidden to use because they are too dangerous, and your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor will tell you in the future. ”

"Another reason is that the wizards in the past searched for and used all kinds of magical resources without restraint, so many rare magical beasts and magical plants have disappeared, and they especially liked to use secret words in that era, so they couldn't even figure out the formula, let alone copy and research. ”

"For example, wands, wizards at that time did not systematically master the wand making method, but only combined various magic materials according to different methods, and the yield was extremely low, resulting in a high price of a wand that pure-blood families could not afford, and often inherited wands as an important property. ”

Of course, this almost extravagant manufacturing method can also combine many powerful wands, because the materials that wizards could use at that time were too rich, and it is said that there was even a method of mixing multiple wand cores in one wand to strongly increase the magic power, but because the cost was too high, and the different wand cores conflicted with each other, so that the service life of this wand was short, and there was a danger of explosion if the spell was not cast properly, so it was slowly eliminated. ”

"How do they solve this problem by mixing multiple wand cores in one wand? God, it's hard to imagine how different wand cores have different material properties that can make magic disordered. ”

"Their solution, it seems, is not to solve," Flitwick was a little helpless, "do you remember when you chose your wand?"

"Mr. Ollivander told me to take my wand and wave it and decide if it was right for me. ”

"It was the same at the time, just pick out what works. ”

"What can't be used?"

"Unusable wands shatter the first time they are infused with mana. ”

"......" Darren and Hermione were deeply shocked by this kind of "local tyrant" behavior, which was too unenvironmentally friendly.

"Of course, while it's unlikely that you'll make a 'Living Point Map', at least you can learn 'Constant Magic'. ”

"'Constant magic'?"

"Yes, the spells you learned were all direct, such as 'Fire Spell', and 'Constant Magic' means that your spell works on an item, resulting in a lasting magical effect. ”

"Like 'Transfiguration'? like I turn dirt into stone. ”

"No, no, no, the 'Transfiguration Charm' is still in the realm of instantaneous magic, when you change the shape of an item, it changes, you turn the dirt into stone, then it becomes stone, there is no magic effect, and the 'Living Point Map', as you can see, it will also change, and the pattern on it will always change, showing the structure of the castle and the activities of the people. ”

"By the way, how do you know the location and name of each of us on the 'Living Point Map'?"

"That's what I'm interested in, I guess there's some powerful name magic that's going to probe."
