Chapter 4: God's Blood
As a scientific researcher who knows how to think, Li Ang is quite interested in Western occultism.
Wizards and mages were descendants of demigods in ancient times, but they have become two completely different races. ”
If it is said that a mage who can carve out a magic circuit is a rationalist who deliberates, develops, and innovates magic through long-term practice and dialectical logical thinking.
Sorcerers, then, are idealists who advocate the primacy of spirit, consciousness, and ideas.
"Witchcraft and sorcery, if you look at it from the level of destructive power alone, the former is weaker than the latter.
But in terms of mystical effects, witchcraft is not inferior to magic, and even more versatile - for example, it is difficult for mages to perform a large number of constant witchcraft, make photographs and portraits come to life, or give brooms the ability to clean automatically. ”
Li Ang pondered, and slowly increased the output of spiritual power, and the light emitted by all the wands in the room became more dazzling and bewitching.
"Merlin's socks, ah....."
Ollivander groaned in pain, his worldview had never been so ruthlessly destroyed and overthrown as it was today, and Leon had done like a bulldozer, destroying the reserved pride that had been passed down from his ancestors for generations.
Seeing this old man so depressed, Li Ang was also a little unbearable, put away the fluctuation of spiritual power, let the wand return to normal, and comforted: "Don't be too sad, in a sense, your wand is just a green hat with a shiny and cool oil on you."
As a man who stands up to the sky, can't you forgive her? Besides, she has already collected her heart, let him pass in the past. ”
Leon's persuasion didn't work in the slightest, and Ollivander was panting desperately with his hands on the table, his face turning purple.
If it weren't for the fact that this old man was in good health, I was afraid that he would have already suffered a myocardial infarction and would meet the souls of those ancestors underground.
After a long time, Ollivander regained his strength, collapsed on the seat, looked at the other party and said, "You, no, what do you want?" ”
"I have a bold conjecture that needs to be confirmed."
Leon rubbed his hands, took the peachwood heart wand that was on the verge of collapse, and said with a smile, "Why do wizards need wands? Because it is difficult for them to collect the chaotic power in their bloodlines on their own, they must pass through a carrier with magical power,
Like a translator, he decipher and parse his mana fluctuations, so as to command the aether to obey the summons - of course, for a very small number of strong wizards, it is completely possible to cast spells without a wand. ”
"Then the question is, what is the essence of the wizard's bloodline, after it is restored?"
Li Ang snapped his fingers and said seriously: "If you carefully look through the history of wizards, you can find that the size and strength of the wizard group are on a downward trend, and even the wizard family, which insists on pure-blood reproduction, has not been able to guarantee its superiority, and has been running wildly on the downhill road.
This decline is not the so-called 'blood dilution' of ordinary wizards, but a simple process of biological evolution. ”
Ollivanders finally couldn't help but interject: "Wait, you mean evolution? ”
"That's right."
"The shrinking of the wizard population is not a degradation, on the contrary, the loss of supernatural strength is an evolutionary effect of a living being through natural selection. ”
"Impossible!" Ollivander shouted, "You're lying! ”
"Huh." Li Ang chuckled absently and said casually: "Wizards are not a race that is higher than ordinary people, on the contrary, I think wizards are more like endangered species that cannot adapt to the environment.
The direction of biological evolution is determined by natural selection, and after countless dice-like selections, the free genes of a certain species in a certain area are strengthened, and the genes of unfavorable variations are gradually weakened, and the gene frequencies of the species are changed to form subspecies.
On the basis of the subspecies, the gene frequencies are further changed to form reproductive isolation, and eventually new species are produced.
This process is called evolution. ”
The concept of evolution has been around for years, and even the self-contained wizarding world has heard of it and is no stranger to it. "Wizards and ordinary people are not reproductively isolated, but the physiology between the two is very different."
Li Ang smacked his lips and said casually: "Why are most of the ancient wizards rickety and deformed, eerie and terrifying;
Why are the spells of ancient wizards chaotic and chaotic, bordering on the murmur of madness;
Why are wizards' potions so weird, requiring dirty and primitive creatures like toads, beetles, and slugs, as well as blood sacrifices and rituals?
Why can't most wizards understand and read any of the logic and technology of the mortal world?
Why is the effect of witchcraft much higher than that of spells on a weird level? ”
"The reason is simple, because the sorcerer has the blood of the gods flowing in his body, and this blood of the gods is more of a curse than a gift.
This curse is so powerful that it transforms every wizard, causing their brain structure to deviate, become chaotic, and lose their logic, unable to develop any reasonable system of spells, and can only rely on long-term empiricism to accumulate spell experience. ”
At this point, Leon paused and concluded, "In short, all wizards are out of their minds. ”
Ollivander had a vague glimpse of something, and he covered his ears desperately, but Leon's whispers were omnipresent and sounded directly in his head.
"The Ministry of Magic has long claimed that only studying too deeply on the path of the dark arts will cause wizards to become powerful and unreasonable madmen, but they dare not think too deeply about it, because the truth is so cruel,"
Leon said coldly and playfully, "The power of the divine blood will transform wizards in the process of casting spells again and again, making them crazy, chaotic, gloomy, deformed, and powerful.
It will bring them closer to the source of the blood of the gods, the god who has given power and symbolizes absolute chaos. ”
What Li Ang didn't tell the other party was that the witchcraft possessed by the wizard was very similar to the Three Palaces Demon Magic demonstrated by the Apocalypse for him in terms of essential attributes, chaotic, unreasonable, and incomprehensible.
Ollivanders was oppressed by the terrible truth, and his old face was bloodless, as disastrous as a blank sheet of paper.
"The wizarding community has evolved for thousands of years, and even though you don't know anything, Nature's benevolent mother still throws the dice for you."
"The continuous reduction of the aura of heaven and earth, or the concentration of ether, is like a rapidly shrinking pond under the scorching sun, which directly leads to the continuous decline of the quality of the divine blood that needs to be supported by the ether, and the continuous shrinking of the wizard race."
"While the wizard race continues to shrink and the power of wizards continues to regress, the degree of dementia of everyone is gradually decreasing, the chaotic and disorderly attributes inherent in witchcraft are also further weakened, and the difficulty of studying chaotic witchcraft has skyrocketed - this has led to the awakening of wizard potential in many mudbloods with scarce divine blood."
"In time, the divine blood in the wizard's bloodline will die out directly, and the entire wizard race will be reduced to zero, completely integrated into the mortal world. As I said, this process is not a regression, but just a spontaneous evolutionary phenomenon of biological groups in order to adapt to the natural environment. ”
"Lie! Lie! Ollivander finally couldn't stand Leon's bewitchment, he stood up suddenly, grabbed the Daily Prophet with both hands, pointed to the capital headline on it, and shouted at the other party: "That's how you explain this? ”
In the newspaper published by the Ministry of Magic, the front-page headline reads, "Hogwarts has a new lease of life with a record pass rate for wizards"
The reporter is Rita Skeeter, and the editor is Barnabas Gufe.
"The wizard race hasn't shrunk,"
Ollivander shuddered, "On the contrary, we are recreating the glory of history." ”
"Little comrade, you should see the essence through the phenomenon. The increase in the qualification rate of wizards shows the sudden increase in the concentration of divine blood, and it also highlights the possibility of sudden activation of divine blood. ”
Leon raised his head, stared at the night sky of London, and whispered, "The god who once gave strength to wizards has returned. ”
Bang!
The thunder was tyrannical and tore through the sky, just like the god who hid behind the curtain, and although he never appeared, he could still hear his approaching footsteps through the curtain.
