Chapter 12: The Style of Magic
"Carl, I wanted to teach you a lesson, but unexpectedly, you taught me a lesson. ”
When Carl spoke his thoughts, Dumbledore's eyes lit up with amazement.
"It's hard to imagine that this is the conclusion you've come to in two years in the wizarding world. ”
"It seems that your talent is not only in magic, but also in your mind. Even I never thought about it. ”
"It's a bit of a humble, but like you said, I'm so talented in magic that I think a lot of things can be done easily, but ignore the subtleties. ”
"But the truth is, a lot of times, it's the devil in the details. ”
As he spoke, Dumbledore raised his hand and waved his wand, almost so fast that it was almost impossible to see, and then a white light came out from the tip of the wand.
Carl recognized it as a fluorescent flash.
Looking at Karl with great interest, Dumbledore said, "Karl, you can measure the speed of my fluorescent flash." ”
Hearing this, Karl rolled his eyes, and Dumbledore's fluorescent flickering shot was so fast that there was an afterimage, and it actually made him time it.
"Why don't I slow down and do it again. ”
Realizing that his hands were too fast, Dumbledore said with interest.
Hearing this, Carl rolled his eyes again.
Looking at the old man's appearance at this time, he seemed even more excited than him, like a child who had just gotten a new toy, and his face was full of joy.
Seeing Carl's expression, Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Carl, you have to understand how difficult it is to make a way from scratch, the road you are about to embark on has never been set foot on before, and you can imagine how wonderful the scenery on the side of the road is. ”
After saying that, I didn't know where to summon a stopwatch, and I fiddled with it by myself.
This scene made Carl shake his head for a while.
He understands that the construction of a new system is not completed in a day or two.
A large number of people need to be involved in grading, so that the results are universal and representative.
If he wants it, he'll have to wait until he returns to Hogwarts to gather a large number of men.
At the moment, even if Dumbledore is there, he can only set a general framework, and there is no way to determine specific indicators.
Otherwise, if it were to be according to his or Dumbledore's standards, the standards would be a bit high.
Thinking of this, he had another question.
Or rather, he has always had such a question, but he has never asked it.
Before, he didn't think he was qualified, but now, he felt that it was almost time.
"Professor, can you tell me where the gap is between me and you?"
Looking at Dumbledore, who was holding a mechanical stopwatch with a minimum interval of only one second, but was constantly measuring the speed of his shots less than a tenth of a second, Karl interrupted him without hesitation.
Dumbledore paused, looked at Karl and smiled reassuringly, "Finally there's a question I can answer, but Cal, I thought you'd ask me that question sooner." ”
"I didn't think I was qualified. Karl shook his head bluntly.
"And now?" Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.
"Now......" Carl frowned unconsciously.
In the dimness, he did have a feeling that there was indeed a ceiling between him and Dumbledore, or all the other wizards and wizards of Dumbledore's level.
Or rather, a chasm.
And when he said this, Dumbledore nodded approvingly.
"Carl, the next words may not be so modest......"
"But, you are right, me, Gellert and, of course, Tom, there is indeed an invisible wall between the three of us and the average wizard. ”
Really!
Karl said secretly in his heart.
Dumbledore continued, "It's a feeling of inexplicability, Carl, even in history, no one in history has been able to say too much about wizards who have reached our level. ”
"We all have a level of magic that far exceeds that of ordinary wizards, and we can all directly manipulate magic, and a lot of magic is at our level, and the power is multiplied, and we can more or less directly see through other people's minds without using a wand. ”
"On top of that, all three of us have some abilities that are unique to us, and Gellert and I have otherworldly insights, and when we're there, we can all see more or less the truth of things...... From this gift, I can clearly feel the traces of magic, and Gellert can sense the future. ”
"Tom is a little worse than us in this respect, and his extreme ego mind binds him and makes him a little less perceptive, of course, in relation to me and Gellert, but it also makes him unable to see things as they are, which is one of the reasons why he often makes mistakes in judgment. ”
"But at the same time, his magical talent is one level higher than that of me and Gellert, and he is the most powerful of the three of us, even if he has split his soul many times, greatly weakening this strength. ”
"So, look at Cal," Dumbledore paused and looked at Karl with a smile, "you have almost all of these abilities with Tom and Gellert......"
As Dumbledore spoke, Karl's breathing became a little rapid, and he had almost all the abilities that the old man had just mentioned, did that already mean ......
Fortunately, he still has a little bit of self-knowledge.
"But Professor, I still haven't ......"
Carl didn't know what to say, but he knew he was definitely not there.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Carl, I'm glad you weren't carried away by how strong your talent is, although almost like you, these abilities have been acquired since we were children, but they don't really become clear and controllable until we really step on this level, which can be regarded as a perk that comes with reaching our level......"
Involuntarily, Carl asked, "But Professor, you still haven't said ......"
"Yes, yes. Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
"Carl, the rest is just my guess, maybe let Tom tell you, he'll say bloodline is everything-"
"A wizard with mediocre blood is destined to be mediocre, and a wizard with noble blood is destined to be extraordinary, after all, in his opinion, whether it is you or us, they are all equally talented, far from being comparable to those wizards with mediocre talent, and I and him, Gellert and the vast majority of wizards who have reached this level in ancient and modern times, all have some ancient bloodlines more or less......"
"Gellert, he may be another story, I can only tell you about my-"
"To get to our level, you've got to make your magic your style. ”
