Chapter 44: Ancient Magic (Ask for Recommendations!) )
The so-called popularity is a lot, probably talking about Egger's current situation, for a week, the entire England region of the Prophet Daily, basically every day can see the news about Egger.
Regardless of whether it is true news or fake news, every day after reading the newspaper, some people will send letters, some insulting him, some admiring him.
"Look at this!" Hermione's little face flushed and threw this morning's newspaper on the table, and the yin and yang reader wrote above: "In this Muggle family, Egger met a little girl from a Muggle family, Hermione Granger. This is a little witch who is naturally good at playing with men's psychology, and I wonder if there is a reason why Egg has grown up to be the way he is now..."
"She's portraying you as sexy, baby...", Chris looked at a Muggle newspaper and looked at his daughter with a smile, "That means our Hermione has matured, doesn't it?" ”
"That bastard woman!" Hermione screamed in anger and staggered back to the room.
At the dinner table, Egger laughed, and the Granger couple laughed back and forth.
"I think you'll have a way, Egger." Mrs. Granger looked at Iger and said, "Otherwise, with your character, you wouldn't be so unhurried." ”
"That's right." Egg grinned, "I think she may have eaten that I wouldn't do anything to her, that's why she was so presumptuous..."
As he spoke, Iger glanced at a small beetle lying outside the window, and took a sip of the teacup carelessly, and a few minutes later, the Granger couple left home to go to work, and Egger held his chin and said casually: "Kaka, grab it!" ”
"Yes, Master Egger!" Kaka's face was excited, and he instantly appeared next to the little beetle in the window, grabbed the little beetle in the window, and at the same time hit the little beetle with a spell.
Looking at the little beetle that Kaka had placed on the table, the corners of Egger's mouth curled slightly, "I don't think this is the first time we've met, Ms. Skeeter." ”
As he spoke, Iger leaned over his head and pinched the little beetle in front of him and looked at it, there was indeed a circle of eye lines around the beetle's eyes, and Iger casually threw the little beetle on the table: "You have been hanging around outside the window of our house very diligently these days, playing Animagus in front of a wizard who is so much stronger than you, you really don't know how to write dead words..."
As he spoke, Egg waved his hand, and the little beetle slowly fell to the ground and turned into a woman, Rita looked at Egg with horror: "How did you find out?" ”
"It's rare to have such a well-behaved beetle, lying on the window and not moving..."The corners of Egg's mouth lifted slightly: "You say, did I kill you, or what?" I think you should know how the hell Greyback died..."
"No, you can't do that!" Rita was terrified and immediately screamed.
"But since you said that I might become the third generation of the Dark Lord, what do you think the Dark Lord will do with anyone who dares to comment on the Dark Lord?" Ig's nonchalantly fiddling with his wand, "Trust me, my Avadaso Curse is so fast that you won't feel even the slightest pain..."
As he spoke, Egger aimed his wand at Rita, who screamed.
Up the stairs, Hermione heard a voice and hurried over: "What's the matter, this is ...... Rita Skeeter! ”
Hermione gritted her teeth and looked at the woman with a bondage spell on the ground, and then pressed Egg's arm with some concern: "Egg, you can't kill her, I know she hates her, but it's not to the point of damning..."
"No, no, no, it's up to the Dark Lord to decide whether or not to die." Egg winked at Hermione, who suddenly stopped talking.
"Please, don't kill me..."Rita looked at Egger with tears in her eyes: "I don't dare anymore, forgive me, I can make you a cow and a horse..."
"Kaka can make cows and horses for Young Master Egger!" Hearing this, Kaka suddenly screamed excitedly: "You stinky woman don't want to take Kaka's place!" ”
Egger was speechless for a moment, what a play...
"You're an Animagus..."Egger's voice was cold: "Illegal Animagus..."
Ig stood up faintly, and then crouched down beside Rita, the tip of his staff lightly resting on Rita's chin: "Maybe I should give you a Imperius Curse, and then let you go to Azkaban in peace?" No, no, no... Azkaban can't hold Animagus, so he killed him..."
Egger said lightly, Rita suddenly screamed again, Egger casually sealed his tongue and locked his throat, for a long time, watching the woman in front of him calm down, Egger looked at Rita with a smile: "How does it feel to be so close to death?" ”
As he spoke, Egger removed Rita's tongue and throat, and Rita broke out in a cold sweat on her head, looking at Egger in horror: "Please, let me go..."
"If I let you go, what will you give me in return, huh?" Egg sneered: "But I will indeed let you go, you still have some use, at least what you wrote with a quill pen is still read by many people, you... See what I mean? ”
Rita nodded frantically, Egger was no longer so aggressive, and then looked at Rita, Egger still warned: "I can kill Greyback, I can kill Quirrell, I can also kill you, don't come to harass me again, remember to set me up some positive image, understand?" ”
Rita nodded again, Iger sneered, and the wand was on Rita's arm, and a mark of the Egg Hall suddenly appeared on Rita's arm: "This thing has the same function as the Dark Devil Mark, it is my mark, and there is no place in the whole of Britain that I can't go to with my apparition, so don't think about playing tricks on me, understand?" ”
Rita whimpered and nodded, and Iger waved his wand: "Get out!" ”
Feeling the restraint spell on her body disappear, Rita suddenly turned into a small beetle and rushed out of the window frantically.
"Now that stinky woman doesn't dare to write casually!" Hermione looked at Rita in the direction of Rita's escape.
Sure enough, the next day, all the newspapers were full of Egger's positive image of propaganda, describing Egger as a good student with five lectures and four beauties, not only in the Daily Prophet, but even some little-known small newspapers had Rita's positive reports about Egger, which seemed to be frightened crazy...
However, it was precisely because of Rita Skeeter's bombardment that Egger's reputation in the wizarding world grew explosively.
Someone wrote to say that Egger was willing to follow him, whether he was a Dark Lord or a White Wizard, and Hermione smacked her tongue when she saw it.
There were also many confession letters from the girl's mail, which were also thrown into the burning fireplace by Hermione with a blank face, and Egg felt sorry for it.
But Egg wasn't too sad about those things now, and there were other things that caught his attention now.
Newt gave him several books that recorded several very old languages that spoke to animals, including avian, feline, canine, and most surprising to Iger was the ungulated language, which could communicate with all animals with hooves, but there were two exceptions.
One is a centaur, well, Iger thinks a centaur should be considered a half-human, and the other is a pig...
Speaking of pigs, Egger vaguely remembered that wizards generally don't like pigs, because pigs are very resistant to magic, so wizards think this creature is very annoying, Egger can't help but be a little funny, is this a little Easter egg?
Now Egger's greatest pleasure is to lie by the window and listen to some birds whispering, listening to their chirping, Egger sometimes can't help but interject, this behavior once made the Granger couple very worried about Egger's mental condition...
It was only then that Egger realized that there was nothing unusual about Parseltongue... The world is so big, and there are more strange languages.
Egger can now talk to Buckbeak, he can talk to unicorns, he can talk to Lack, and even cats and dogs, although he can transform into a cat Animagus before, but even with the form of a cat, Iger couldn't figure out what the cats were talking about before, but now, he can completely disguise himself as a cat...
Cutting out these strange languages, Iger also discovers several interesting magics.
One is about the ancient magic of wandless casting, which is a fire control spell in Africa in ancient times, which was controlled by some tribesmaidens in ancient times, and can control all kinds of fire, even if it is a strong fire, it will be obedient and obedient, but unfortunately this magic is a dance...
Although it is not so enchanting, Egger always feels a little embarrassed to dance, and most of the whole dance is the movement of the arms and fingers with strong stomping steps, a bit like tap dancing...
Egger guessed with some malice that maybe the founder who invented this dance might have accidentally stepped on the fire, so he invented such a hot looking dance magic...
Although Egg felt embarrassed to dance, Hermione kept saying that Egg was handsome and wanted to pry Egg to dance a few more times...
There is also a kind of prayer magic, which can change the weather tomorrow in a small part of the area with a few simple sacrifices, but if you sacrifice a human life, then you can immediately summon a fire meteor from the sky and land in the target direction, which is a very changeable and flexible magic.
Then there are some very off-the-beaten-path witchcraft, something Newt got from Southeast Asia, similar to the black magic here in England, where black magic and curses are said to be very prevalent, and Iger has now learned a very simple little curse, requiring only a hair from the other party.
Pierce the villain!
But it's not as exaggerated as a needle in the heart, and the other party will die, but if it's pierced on the other party, the other party may be angry, or fall down without paying attention, and then press a few small stones on the villain, the other party will have a cold and fever, and the whole body will be weak, very interesting, it is said that the wizards there use it to trick between friends, and it is very simple to break this curse, just take a simple hot bath or wash your head, and the hair wrapped around the villain will turn to ashes.
Iger couldn't help but sigh a little, Old Man Newt was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was young...
For an entire month, Egg had been obsessed with these strange magics, which made it clear to him that there was a problem... The wizarding world is huge, and there are countless strange magics, and Egg feels that what he has learned now is just the tip of the iceberg, and at the same time, he can't help but feel sad about Voldemort...
I didn't look down on him in the first place, but now I can't look down on him even more...
Of course, Iger would not be naïve enough to think that he would have the capital to fight him now, but Iger also felt that when Voldemort was truly resurrected, he might be like that for himself...
As the month passed, and soon the notice for the new school year flew into thousands of homes with a large flock of owls, and Iger and Hermione also received a notice that they needed to buy books for the new school year.
Early in the morning, Egg was drinking milk in a daze, and Hermione was blushing as she looked at the new school year's book list.
Iger looked at Hermione a little puzzled, then picked up the book sheet and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened, and a row of Gilderoy Lockhart came into view, and Iger was sad.
How did you forget about this thing?
"Don't do peach blossoms over there..."Egger pouted a little jealously: "That guy is a thief who steals other people's achievements, the only magic spell he is good at is to forget everything, the little magic in his body is pitiful, you can easily kill him." ”
"How is that possible?!" Hermione said incredulously, "I've read his books, and they are all well-founded. ”
"That's because he would deliberately ask the wizard who did those things, and then ask the other person to forget about it." Iger was a little helpless.
"But if he's really useless, how could Professor Dumbledore hire him as a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Hermione retorted.
Egger spread his hands: "Not to hire him, but because he was the only applicant, everyone thought that the position was unlucky, as far as I know, Quirrell has been working for the longest time..."
"How so," Hermione said sadly, "So, Professor Dumbledore already knew?" ”
"My God, Quirrell can't hide from Dumbledore's eyes with Voldemort's help, don't you think Dumbledore will be able to see a liar who sells his reputation?" Egger sneered, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, and then licked his white lips: "Forgive Lao Deng... He really didn't have any other choice..."
Another owl cry came, and Egg could hear the owl's words: tired, tired...
Then I saw a dark gray flat-faced owl crash into the glass with a 'bang'.
"Errol..."Egg ran to the window with some worry, and reached out to pick up the round-faced fat chicken, "I'm really afraid that Ron will tire it out to death, otherwise it would be better to send him an owl all the time on Halloween this year..."
"Looks like Ron got the letter a day before we did." Hermione opened the letter and glanced at it, "He asked when we were going to Diagon Alley?" ”
"Anytime." Iger waved his hand, and a line of words suddenly appeared behind the letter: "Rak? ”
Luck suddenly flew in from the window: "Where are you going?" ”
That's what Lark said, and that's what Egg sounded like, but in Hermione's ears, Lark's voice was a cold sneer...
"The Weasleys—" Egger gestured to Errol, "Please escort him back by the way, um... lest it die on the way..."
