Chapter 15: The Mysterious Illusion
As if to fit the snake's habits, the Slytherin common room was set up in the basement.
A wet stone wall with a stone door hidden in it that only opens if you say the right word.
The passwords are not too difficult to remember, and most of them are boastful words such as purebred, glory, and pride.
Prefect Gemma Farley gave a long speech at the door, and only then recited the command to open the stone door.
Many people have a misconception about the Slytherin Lounge, thinking that it is dark and damp, no different from some basement that does not see the light of day.
But in fact, the Slytherin common room is located at the bottom of the Black Lagoon, and the view is not inferior to that of the other three houses.
The ceiling of the lounge is carved out of spherical crystal, and the view of the bottom of the Black Lagoon can be seen through the ceiling.
If you're lucky, you might even see mermaids living in the Black Lagoon.
In addition to the ceilings, the lounge is luxuriously decorated.
Black Gothic marble walls, patina chandeliers, intricately carved fireplaces......
Everything is artistic, and Slytherin's proud, discerning personality is evident here.
Zhang Hao was very satisfied with the place, at least in terms of living environment, Slytherin House did not disappoint him.
He found the dormitory assigned by the academy and prepared to sink into the mysterious illusion to practice spells.
To his surprise, Draco Malfoy was in the same room as him.
"Oh! that's terrible!" Malfoy frowned, "Damn! how did I end up with you?"
Zhang Hao glanced at Malfoy and said calmly: "I don't like to sleep in the lounge, it's big and spacious." ”
"Why don't you go?" Malfoy said disgustedly, "only people like you deserve to sleep in the common room, you've never lived in such a luxurious dwelling, have you?"
Zhang Hao smiled dumbly, the richest man was despised.
It seems that sometimes it's not okay to be too low-key!
"What are you laughing at?" Malfoy said again, "Am I not right?
Zhang Hao took out his wand from the suitcase and said indifferently: "If you want to fight for the ownership of the bedroom, take out your wand." Otherwise, please shut up!"
Malfoy's face immediately changed, he took two steps back timidly, swallowed his saliva and said, "This is against the school rules, and the academy has already been deducted forty points for you." Trust me, even if you just cast a spell on me, the school will expel you. ”
Zhang Hao sneered: "Then you can guess, will my next spell be a life-seeking spell?"
In fact, he doesn't know the Curse at all, it's just scaring Malfoy.
"Oh, you're a madman!" Malfoy's already pale face looked bloodless. He said in horror: "Don't be impulsive, can't I give you the dormitory?"
Zhang Hao slowly withdrew his wand, and Malfoy hurriedly rolled up the cover and rushed out of the dormitory as if he had been pardoned.
There was only one person left in the dormitory, but Zhang Hao didn't have any sense of accomplishment.
Since the beginning of school, he has not done anything serious, as if he has only done some trivial things to bully children.
He shook his head and lay down on the bed, his consciousness sinking into a mysterious space.
Far and near, everywhere is gray.
Some strange sights rise and fall in the mist, some like crumbling tall buildings, some like islands floating in the sky, some like broken stars......
Mushroom clouds, tornadoes, lightning and thunder......
All kinds of strange scenes came and went, but there was only light and shadow, no sound.
In the dead silence, there was only the faint sound of Zhang Hao's breathing.
Every time he came to the illusion world, he was inexplicably shocked. He tried to find the boundaries of the illusion, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't.
In the end, he could only use this as a testing ground.
"Hmm, let's practice the smashing spell today! I hope I can master this spell before dawn, and it should be easier to have a wand, right?"
As soon as Zhang Hao's mind moved, the wand appeared in his hand.
And not far in front of him, there is also a stone statue as a target.
"Radk Tho (Broken Bones)!"
The wand didn't react, and Zhang Hao didn't care about it. He carefully recalled the details, and at the same time tried to find the flaws in the spell casting process against the standard spell casting method in his mind.
"Uhhh
After a few moments, he began to make a second attempt.
"Radk Tho (Broken Bones)!"
"Hmm, the pronunciation is fine, but it still doesn't work!Could it be that the rhythm of the cane swing is wrong? What kind of rhythm should the smashing spell use?"
......
There will always be all kinds of problems when practicing spells, if it weren't for this, Zhang Hao, who has the blessing of illusion, would probably have become a master of spells long ago.
Unguided, from spell pronunciation to staff swing rhythm to spell determination......
Almost every detail needs to be worked out on your own, and in the process, the wrong spell can have serious consequences.
In fact, most spells are born through such dangerous experiments.
As far as Zhang Hao knows, there are many people in the history of magic who have died for this, and Luna Lovegood's mother is one of them in the original book.
Without those pioneers, modern spells wouldn't be so streamlined.
What Zhang Hao is doing now is to deduce the specific method of casting magic through known spells.
This process was no safer than the creation of new spells, and he had died more than once due to spell explosions.
If it weren't for the fact that this was an illusion, he wouldn't have dared to play with his life like this.
The first time he encountered a spell explosion scared him enough, and the reliving of death in the illusion almost convinced him to be true.
One day in reality, one hundred days in fantasy.
It has been more than two months since Zhang Hao came into contact with the spell, and the time converted into an illusion can reach sixteen years.
Over the course of sixteen years, he had deduced that he had mastered seven spells, all of which could be cast without a wand or spell.
Compared to the speed at which the previous people created spells, this is not slow.
"Radk Tho (Broken Bones)!"
"Boom!"
Another spell casting failed, and Zhang Hao's whole person was blown to pieces.
It took a long time for his body to reconsolidate.
His face was a lot paler than before.
It seems that the resurrection in this illusion did not come without a price.
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, and the illusion suddenly shattered into countless pieces like a mirror that fell to the ground.
Zhang Hao, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, and his pupils gradually focused.
"It's a shame that I still couldn't learn to smash the spell!"
In fact, Zhang Hao was able to successfully cast a crushing spell on occasion. But this kind of serendipitous success is, in his opinion, a failure.
Only when every spell is successful, and every time the spell is used to the maximum power, can Zhang Hao be completely satisfied.
After all, this is not a wandless spell, if you can't do it perfectly, won't you be blind to the powerful golden finger in vain?
There are so many strange spells in the wizarding world, and how long does it take for a smashing spell to be so difficult, but how long does it take for a more advanced Patronus charm and apparition to shift?
"I hope Professor Flitwick's teaching progress will be faster!" Zhang Hao put some hope in the Charms class.
