Chapter 50 Sprinkle a rod and you will die
The young Oriental Professor walked up the slope and greeted Dumbledore warmly, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm Durmstran's new Dark Arts Professor, Aung Chen......"
Dumbledore nodded and replied, "Welcome, friends of Durmstran, Hogwarts treats every friend who comes from afar...... May the little wizards of Durmstrang gain friendship here. ”
"And knowledge......" Chen Ang added with a smile.
Dumbledore laughed, "Yes, and knowledge! ”
"Chen ......" Dumbledore turned around and asked in a low voice, "Can I call you that?" I remember that you Oriental names tend to come later, so you should be called...... Chen Ang? Chen Ang nodded, and Dumbledore smiled, "I know this secret from the pronunciation of your name, and one of my students is a third-year Ravenclaw witch...... She should be just like you, you are both Chinese. ”
Chen Ang nodded slightly, but he was thinking in his heart, did this old bee really have his eyes on him?
"Is Professor Igor okay?" Dumbledore asked, "He asked me to contact us, and he didn't show up about the exchange between our two schools." This time I thought he would come in person......"
"Principal Igor is not very convenient." Chen Ang replied, "You should know that there have been rumors of Voldemort coming back recently. The Death Eaters were moving around, and Professor Igor was so upset that he reduced his movements. The Death Eaters hated him to the core, but London was the Death Eaters' stronghold...... So Headmaster Dumbledore, you can't see him stepping into London! ”
Dumbledore stopped, looking at Chen Ang's calm expression, his eyes were a little deep, he pondered like an old man for a while, as if he was reminiscing, and after a long time he sighed: "Igor...... Professor Igor had a not-so-good experience in the past, but he later made the right choice. He should be here! ”
Chen Ang said lightly: "People are always responsible for what they have done...... No one can escape this. ”
Dumbledore invited Durmstrand's exchange students to live in Hogwarts' dormitory, but Chen politely refused, and he converted their ship into a villa and took Durmstrand's students into it, Harry heard Professor McGonagall whisper to Dumbledore, "That's a very difficult Transfiguration ......"
She seemed to notice that Harry was listening, and added, "The larger the shapeshifting item, the more mana is expended, and few people can conjure a house in one go...... Seldom! ”
Dumbledore chuckled, "Professor Minerva is one of them......"
"I can do it, but the difficulty of the spell doesn't matter how much magic it costs." Professor McGonagall was silent for a long time, then added, "I wouldn't have lasted long without the help of the Magic Script and Potion. ”
Harry couldn't hear what was behind him, but Ron pulled him over and heard him whisper, "I saw Victor Krum." ”
"Who?" Harry asked rhetorically.
"Victor Krum, the new Seeker on the Bulgarian National Quidditch team...... People say he's the most talented Seeker the Bulgarian team has ever had, the star of the future, and he's not as famous as he is right now – but he's so acclaimed that maybe I could ask him for an autograph. ”
Ron sighed, "Their red robes are much more conspicuous than our black robes......
When they went down to breakfast the next day, they found that the hall had been renovated overnight, with huge silk banners hanging down from the walls, and on the left were the representative colors of Hogwarts, the red golden lion, the green silver snake, the blue golden eagle, and the yellow black badger, all surrounding Hogwarts, forming the destruction of Hogwarts.
On the right is the double-headed eagle emblem of the Byzantine Empire, representing Slavic and Northern Europe, and even Germany, with its wings outstretched, and below it is the skull of a goat representing black magic, which together form the emblem of Durmstram.
Harry and Ron saw Durmstrang exchange students at Gryffindor's table, they had taken off their heavy leather coats, revealing that they were wearing blood-red robes underneath, and they would greet Gryffindor students warmly, but for some reason Harry couldn't forget the pale and dead faces he saw on the boat.
Chen Ang and Dumbledore sat at the staff desk, most of the Hogwarts professors he had already met yesterday, but because it was night, they only met in a hurry, Chen Ang had to take the students back, this time sitting at the staff table with most of the Hogwarts professors, but he could have a deeper contact.
The mission of the Lord God had been completed as early as last night, when he met with Dumbledore.
It seems that the Lord God does not have specific requirements on how to 'enter' Hogwarts, even if Chen Ang is only a professor from other schools who come to communicate, he has reached the minimum bottom line of completing this task.
On his left hand side sat Dumbledore, and on his right hand side was Snape, an old bat, although Chen Ang was not very particular, but was it really appropriate for Dumbledore, an old bee, to place a bat that liked to spew venom juice and was not too long to be next to the guests? Hermione noticed the problem, and she looked down and whispered to Harry, "That Durmstrang professor seems to be a little uncomfortable sitting next to Professor Snape. ”
Ron gloated, "No one wants to sit next to that greasy old bat." ”
Dumbledore seemed to notice the 'cane' in each of the Durmstrang exchange students' hands, a 'cane' as thick as a duck's egg on the chest of Durmstrand's muscular bear-like wizard - in fact, a stick, the color of a log...... This is not a light thing, in fact it is made of iron birch.
The balls that wood used to replace steel in the Muggle world were all good from the cold Siberian highlands.
Dumbledore even noticed that Durmstrang's wizards had a thick cocoon on their mouths, and even the witches, under their youthful and beautiful appearances, were full of thick thighs and arms full of muscle bumps, especially their leader, Victor Krum, who walked with a stick to show Muggles who knew Oriental martial arts, and exclaimed: "This must be to practice stick skills to the bones!" ”
Dumbledore didn't have any martial arts attainments, but he wasn't a fool either, and of course he could see the fierceness of these Slavic barbarians.
He asked in a low voice, "Professor Chen, I wonder what Durmstrang's students are holding in their hands?" ”
Chen Ang smiled, "That's their new wand...... Durmstrang is launching a reform campaign, and we've noticed that wizards' reliance on wands, perhaps, is abnormal, and most wizards now have little magic without the help of wands. Keep in mind that the wand was originally only a secondary tool...... We realized that such a tool may be suppressing the potential for wizarding development. ”
"Especially when young wizards are growing up, the help of a wand can create dependency, leading to a decrease in the wizard's ability to control and stabilize his magic. This worries us. It is worth noting that only wizards in Europe use wands, and the Uagadou School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Africa does not use wands, but uses gestures to steadily release the magic of the spell. ”
"This may have something to do with the amazing Transfiguration talent of the students at the Vagado School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, according to our tracking research, Vagado's students are all working on spells that require control and stability, and the reason this has remained undetected is that they don't use wands to cast spells, so when it comes to spells that require control, we are less than we use wands."
"But only in those spells that cannot be performed with the aid of a wand, such as the self-transformation technique, the Animagus, is evident. This was evident in the performance at the recent International Animagus Congress. Those fourteen-year-old wizards and witches have scared the adult wizards of Europe! ”
"This deserves our attention." Dumbledore's face became serious, and he whispered, "This is a valuable discovery...... But the connection between the wizard and the wand is very complex, and each wand and the wizard are closely linked, first by attracting each other, then by adapting to each other, and in the process, the wand learns from the wizard, and the wizard learns from the wand. ”
"Yes." Chen Ang nodded and said: "Without the guidance of the wand, when the wizard grows, the riot in magic power will not be relieved, and we have noticed that the process of communication between the wand and the wizard plays an important role in the growth of the wizard's magic." ”
"So while we kept the traditional wands of our students, we were also looking for a replacement."
Dumbledore's eyes were blazing, and he asked curiously, "Did you find it?" ”
Chen Ang nodded: "I found it, the magic materials that are also very communicative with wizards - gems, various colors of crystals and different gems, they also have the same complex 'personality' as a magic wand, which is very suitable for mutual attraction with wizards." We use the most stubborn wood, iron birch, as the material for the wand, which is known for its stubbornness and stability, which can exercise the magic control of casting spells while maintaining the effect of the wand to relieve the magic power. ”
"Then set a gem in the head of the wand, and replace the wand with the ability of the wizard to learn and communicate with each other."
"Finally, gesture-assisted spells, those complex magic, magic spells that require the assistance of a wand, will be cast by a combination of gestures and a wand, for which we have specially developed a set of one-handed gestures to cooperate with this wand casting."
"We're even developing a ritual that encourages wizards to concentrate and communicate with wands and gems in order to be more active and communicative with wands, which includes a whole set of rituals for maintaining wands (gems), burning spices, bathing, changing clothes, calming the mind, and meditating. Preliminary experiments, good results. ”
