Chapter Twenty-Six: The Sorcerer

July 25th, a sunny day.

Hermione, who has nothing to do with the wizarding world, wears a small blue shirt and a pink skirt, and arrives at the airport with the Granger couple in the car early.

After waiting for the Crowleys to bring Albert to come, the two parties converged and boarded a plane to New York, USA.

"To be honest, this is my first time flying." Hermione's mom said,

"Perhaps, when we get to the United States, we can let Albert take Hermione to play, and we adults can go where we should go to relax?" Hermione's dad came up with such a build.

"I think this is good, Al came to the United States alone when he was very young, and now you can't throw him anywhere in the United States." Eric also laughed, only Yiyi complained on the side, "I'm afraid I'm waiting for the immigration bureau to send little Al back." ”

But after some deliberation, the two unscrupulous couples finally decided to leave their two 12-year-old children behind and travel alone.

In this way, the two young-looking children had to use magic in the airport toilet and put the suitcase in their clothes pocket, Hermione looked at Albert speechlessly, "To be honest, Al, although we have come to the United States, where should we go to play now?" It's a good idea to stay away from the wizarding world, but now that the university is on vacation, it's impossible for us to go to classes. I don't even want to go to the real yàn room......"

"Maybe ......," Albert paused, "we can find something more interesting, I've heard that there is a magical life in the United States called eT." ”

"In New York?" Hermione had also heard about eT, which was said to be a magical being that came from an outer world. "I've heard that people call it an alien, and unlike the UFOs that Europeans see, it's a real unknown life, not our wizards."

Albert waved his hand, "To be honest, I don't know. ”

The two children were just chatting about boring topics while walking around aimlessly without purpose.

It wasn't until a sudden feeling came over Albert that he looked up ahead.

Under the shade of a tree, a withered yellow, tired-looking, thick-jacketed man (Hermione: "Oh my God, it's July!") And the man in fashionable leather shoes was looking at Albert.

"Al, that guy looks so weird...... Could it be the legendary aliens? Hermione was a little worried, and she grabbed the corner of Albert's coat.

"No, he's supposed to be a wizard." Albert's feelings told him that the person in front of him was definitely a wizard.

Hearing Albert say the word wizard, the man smiled, "I thought there were no wizards in the United States at all, but I didn't expect to meet two little wizards today." Are you traveling from Europe? Hogwarts or Durmstrang, or Booth Barton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? ”

"Oh~" Hearing that the man also revealed his identity, the two children couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Hello, sir, my name is Albert Green Crowley, you can call me Albert, this is my friend, Hermione Granger, we are both students at Hogwarts, and we will be in the second year on September 1st." ”

"Oh, two Hogwarts apprentices, I'm guessing you're both little Gryffindors, right?" The man blinked, "Go and sit at my house for a while, it's hard to meet wizards in this country." Well, my name is Balthazar Black, and you can call me Mr. Black. ”

"Of course, I want to see what wizards in America are like, right, Hermione?" Led by Balthazar, the two arrived in front of a private museum in a short time.

"Come in, this is my house." Pushing open the door, it was full of gold and splendour, and there were all kinds of mysterious artifacts from various countries, and it was hard to imagine how many places this man had visited.

"Wow, is this the demon-slaying pestle in Hindu mythology?" Picking up a golden rod, Albert stroked it in surprise, the magic contained in this rod was simply incredibly powerful.

"Well, I went to John three hundred years ago to retrieve it, and it was John who took it from the tomb of the Sumerian king and brought it to Shakyamuni, and brought it back to Europe after Shakyamuni died......" Balthazar said slowly, but both Hermione and Albert opened their mouths.

"You, you said that this was used by Shakyamuni...... Sumerian? Although I don't have any research, it seems to be the origin of human civilization, you say that from the tomb of the Sumerian king, is it the tomb of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk of the Sumerian dynasty? ”

It's unbelievable that the demon slaying pestle in his hand has such a long history.

"I don't know, because even my teacher wouldn't live that long except John." With a wave of his hand, a space was vacated, and two sands and a coffee table appeared, on which were also placed fresh apples and three cups of black tea.

"John said it was the fruit of wisdom, so I especially liked to eat it...... Kids, eat some. As he spoke, Balthazar picked up an apple and took a bite of it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Black...... What exactly is Mr. John you are talking about? "If it was to live that long, to know that the Sumerian dynasty was a civilization around 35oo BC, if John was a figure of that era, then he would have lived at least 55oo years by now, and Albert couldn't imagine that a person could live that long.

"I can't sue you for this, but ...... Children, I can give you the true meaning of magic, do you want to know? Blake said, and he said to Hermione, "I can feel the magic in you, and compared to those foolish people, you seem to already know Transfiguration—Transfiguration at the atomic level, right?" ”

Albert stood up at once, "Do you know Mr. Black...... No, Mr. Black, you're also a scientist and a magician? ”

"No, no, no, I'm not a scientist, I'm just a wizard, a magician. Science is a little trick in magic, and compared to those Muggles, we are born with 1oo% brain usage, and we have already broken through the forbidden zone of God in Christianity. Balthazar said proudly.

“1oo%？ Mr. Black, are you kidding me? You know, the human brain is more complex in structure and function. Traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other brain injuries can affect brain function, causing a person to lose the ability to move, speak, or think. If the average person only uses 1o% of the brain, then probability-speaking, most of these damages will appear in the unused 9o% and will not affect the person. In reality, this is not the case. Dr. Robert's research has only shown that young brains are resilient to injury. Injuries in the early stages of brain growth may be compensated to achieve their original function, but once adulthood, such cases are rare.

In the 193o, neurologists used electrical stimulation to study brain activity. For humans, these parts account for a small proportion, and the larger part is non-perceptual and non-motor areas, which cannot be evoked by guò electrical stimulation, so it was called the "silent cortex" at the time, but in fact, the "silence" here does not mean that this part of the brain is not being used. In fact, these parts dominate the higher functions that human beings have—language and abstract thinking.

A simple action at a given moment may use only a small part of the brain, while a sufficiently complex set of activities or thought patterns is the majority of areas of the brain that need to be used. Just as a man does not use all his muscles at one time, he does not use all his brain at one time. But looking at the activity of the human brain over a longer period of time, such as a whole day, most areas of the human brain will come in handy. After hearing Balthazar's words, Albert stood up abruptly again, well, in fact, he never sat down, "I suspect you haven't read a biology book at all!" ”

"Uh......" Balthazar was also speechless, "OK, okay! Actually, I also read this from Muggle science books, I didn't expect this to be fake, but I want to tell you that it's the magic behind it, which I learned from my teacher! ”

Cracking sound! Cracking sound!

A blue ion ball instantly condensed in Balthazar's hand, "I think you should know what this thing is. ”

"Yes...... yes，Ido。 Not only Albert, but Hermione also looked at the ion sphere in surprise, her lips opened slightly, and she spat out an explanation about the plasma sphere, "When the ionization process is frequent, so that the concentration of electrons and ions reaches a certain value, the state of matter changes radically, and its properties become completely different from that of gas. In order to distinguish it from the three states of solids, liquids, and gases, we call this state of matter the fourth state of matter, also known as the plasma state. ”

"No, no, no, it's not just a plasma ball, according to Muggles - the ion cannon is what it really is." Balthazar said proudly.

"I remember...... When I looked at some NASA materials, I saw the Star Wars program, which was against the Soviet Union, and one of the weapons was the ion cannon -- theoretically, the ion cannon was very simple to operate. Magnetically and statically charged metal plates are used to attract charged particles from the solar wind and store them in a container. When firing, a burst of electrons is used to "soften" the atmosphere above the target and create a highly charged environment (i.e., stormy weather). When this preparation process is complete (which takes only a few seconds), the particle adder shoots a highly concentrated beam of ions to saturate the target area, which is subjected to a combination of heat from small-scale nuclear fusion and a large amount of subatomic radiation.

The immediate effect of the attack is that the metal at the center of the explosion will instantly vaporize, causing severe damage to nearby concrete buildings (due to the impact of the attack on the steel bars inside the building), as well as lethal damage to living organisms. Despite its high level of destruction, this weapon has little long-term effect and is extremely safe, efficient, and accurate. Albert looked at the quietly rotating ion cannon in amazement, magic created the ion cannon, what a joke!! Isn't this simply unscientific!

"Hehe, children, if you want to learn this skill, there are nearly forty days left in this summer...... I thought you could come here and learn from me, and I'd tell you something about some of the principles of magic that have long been forgotten. Balthazar waved his hand, and the ion cannon vanished in an instant.

"For example, the anti-gravity principle of the broomstick, and the principle that Transfiguration (at the atomic level) cannot change the form of a living body?"

“yes！”
