Chapter 744: Textbook
When the last young wizard was also recorded by the Skillful Lady, Alan waved his hand casually, and dozens of books with bronze relief covers on blue backgrounds and resembling illuminated manuscripts floated in front of each wizard.
"This hand was also used by Dumbledore, but he used the silent spell technique at the time, but he used a wand, and Alan cast the spell without a wand. Harry's eyes were fiery, but Neville beside him didn't respond to him.
Harry looked at Neville strangely, and saw that Neville was staring at the book floating in front of him.
"Wizards use wands to channel magic, so they can make the effects of charms more accurate and effective. Only powerful and skilled wizards can consistently master the difficult wandless magic, and Transfiguration and Spells are often difficult to cast without the use of a wand, and can easily cause unintended consequences if not done accurately, and I can only cast a few minor spells with this technique. "Or Hermione responded to Harry," However, wands were a European invention of magic, so wizards there did not rely on them to use magic before they were introduced elsewhere: Native Americans had developed their own magical systems before the arrival of European colonists and did not need to use wands, and African wizards did not accept wands until the 20th century, and to this day, wands are not a necessity for them to perform magic, although the wandless spells of African wizards were replaced by longer-time casting gestures, and are not comparable to Alan's true wandless spell casting, or Dumbledore's wandless skills on a few occasionsγ β
Harry's gaze was fixed on the book, the bronze reliefs of the large omniscient seal were all over the book, and the omniscient eye that rotated in the center seemed to have infinite magical power, attracting the attention of wizards, and it was difficult for them to take their eyes off it. Harry's fingers couldn't help but brush slowly over the embossed lines.
"It's worth a lot just by looking at it. Ernie McMillan stared at the sapphire as the omniscient eye on the cover relief, muttering in admiration, holding the book firmly in his grip, "If we were required to buy it ourselves, like other subjects, I think many students would have to give up this course for financial reasons." β
"There's also a metal lock on the spine, where is this going to be hung?" said Theodore Knott of Slytherin, pointing to the spine of the book.
"Maybe it's hanging on a backpack, hanging on a belt, so we can carry it with us, you see...... Look at Professor Harris's belt. Draco Malfoy explained, and Theodore Noether looked up at Allen's belt with the devil's skull, and his tone was full of envy, "I also want to make a belt like Professor Harris, it looks so cool." β
"Idiot, let's not talk about whether you have the ability to get it, the point is that you don't have Professor Harris's robes, and the bare belt doesn't match our uniform. "Blaise Zabini was educated in aesthetics by his mother, Madame Zabini, who had been a widow six times.
"Lady Skillful has just measured our waists, and apparently the professor will have prepared it for us, and this book lock is a raven. Malfoy said, his hand reaching for the booklock that was firmly attached to the relief on the cover, and his finger pressed his finger to the life-carved raven's lock on the booklock, with its wings still vibrating slightly, to open the book.
There was a soft click, and the lock opened, "Ho-" Malfoy sighed in surprise, he was definitely not the only one who was surprised, the little wizards had never seen such a book, they used to think that "The Book of Monsters of the Monsters" and "The Invisible Book of Invisibility" were very strange books, and the one in front of them completely broke through their cognition - the words on the book were not in order, and on the smooth dark blue page like a starry sky, the silver magic handwriting was as slow as a star.
The jumping characters caught the attention of the wizards, but they couldn't read the contents completely, and even if their eyes widened, they couldn't tell anything from the floating characters.
"Looks like you like the little gift I gave you?" Allen's voice rang in their ears at this time, "You can't see the content of this textbook now, and when we have a theory class, I will let our course content appear on it, and then the page will automatically arrange the content we want to teach." If you want to read and review again after class, just hold the book and recall it in your mind, and you will be able to see the relevant text. β
Although they knew that there might not be any content in the books at this time, wizards like Michael and Draco couldn't help but start experimenting with various keywords in their minds, trying to see some of the content.
Alan stepped down from the podium and continued: "You can also use this book as a never-ending notebook, without the need for ink, just write on it with a quill pen. β
"Professor," Michael Corner asked, taking advantage of his acquaintance with Allen, as he raised his hand and asked directly, "what if I accidentally made a mistake?"
"Focus on your mind, think about erasing the wrong places, wipe them with your hands, and it will be gone. Alan nodded to Michael, who sat down and took out his quill and carefully slid it over his book. There are not a few people like him who have done this.
But the pale Ginny held the quill but refused to do so, she thought of the nightmarish experience she had when she wrote in Tom Riddle's diary and talked to the mysterious man as the object of confiding, and her fingers holding the quill were clenched so tightly that the knuckles of the fingers turned pale from too much force.
Hermione looked at Ginny worriedly and took her arm, wanting to give her best friend some warmth and encouragement, "Don't worry, Ginny, it's not ......"
"It won't talk to you. Luna's eyes bulged out.
"None of that is the most important thing, though, and one of its main features isβ" Alan raised his voice to redraw their appeal to himself as the wizards experimented with the textbook's features in a novel way, "this book allows you to store a spell. Just touch the book and use a thought or command to quickly cast the spell. Of course, you'll have to re-store it after you cast it......"
But the classroom has been agitated for a moment, what does it mean, even a dull person like Neville understands the meaning of this, if you store an armor in it, at the critical moment of fighting others, it may be a chance to save your life and win.
"Because the trigger mechanism requires you to be able to touch it quickly, so in order to make it easier for you to carry, a metal lock is designed on the spine of the book, and Lady Loris II has recorded the body data for you just now, and the other small things will be given to you in the next lesson. A textbook floated into the air, and Alan pointed to the spine.
"This setup is really necessary because there are always idiots who will lose things. Draco caught a glimpse of Neville, who couldn't put down his textbook, pouting and holding his head up sarcastically, in his heart, such a good thing, Alan wanted to give that guy who often lost everything, what a waste.
Neville held the textbook in his arms, and after consciously confronting Draco's sarcasm, he hurriedly said, "Professor Harris, I will definitely take good care of it, and I will never let it be lost." β
"Don't worry, this textbook is very private, and even if you accidentally lose it, the content written on it will not be discovered by others. Alan turned the hanging book in one direction, "This raven-shaped book lock, like the golden snitch, has the function of physical memory, only the first person to touch it can open this book lock, even if others get your textbook, he can't open it." Of course, if you lose it, you'll have to pay for the next one, and be aware in advance, it's not cheap. β
The reason why Alan has carefully designed the textbooks for the students is because the ancient magic he wants to teach is almost impossible to buy on the outside market, and even if some of this knowledge is revealed in those bookstores, it is not as systematic as other subjects, and their content is not suitable for young wizards who have not yet graduated.
So Alan can only summarize and print by himself, he did not choose to print the textbook in the traditional way, he wants to take this opportunity to try to use the knowledge on the Nether scroll to make these ancient magic wonders, which can be regarded as a practice for himself. He collects the students' feelings and other data during use, and then continuously improves his design concept, and when the technology matures, Alan can equip his people and Aurors with more mature products.
And the several functions of this textbook have also been carefully considered by Allend: on the one hand, these little wizards will naturally take out this notebook to take notes when they take other classes, after all, with a portable notebook that can be used infinitely, who would want to carry a pile of heavy ordinary notepads and parchment with them; on the other hand, in order for the textbook to store a spell, they must have tried to wear this book on their bodies at any time even when they have no lessons.
This is equivalent to his students promoting ancient magic lessons to young wizards who have not joined anytime and anywhere. Therefore, in addition to the two functions of storing a spell and recording information in the true sense of the word, Allen did not hesitate to spend a lot of extra gold gallons on the decoration of the book, and the exquisite reliefs and the gems on them were in fact completely unnecessary decorative items, but only as a means of propaganda to get these personal marks on behalf of Harris.
The introduction of the textbook was almost complete, and the professor of the ancient magic class tied the book floating in front of him to his belt, so that the book hung on his left waist. This action was also the same as Alan expected, attracting the attention of the young wizards who admired him, and they were quite eye-catching, believing that this style would make them compete to imitate it in the future.
Then, Alan clapped his hands: "Now please put away your textbooks." We don't need to learn theory today, everyone go out with me, and I'll take you to the practice venue to officially start the first class. β
