Chapter 5 Code Farmers
Leon could feel the god who had given the wizard power approaching, and he watched the city with a greedy, eerie gaze.
After stepping into the realm of Jindan, his dark premonition became stronger and stronger, and he could clearly feel the oppressive aura of the coming storm, but he didn't know that this storm would land in London from that time and place.
He doesn't care about the survival of the British Empire, but the arrival of an exotic god is a very valuable scientific research project to be observed, and it should not be missed.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to covertly manipulate the wizarding community.
Leon's words were magical, corroding and bewitching Ollivander's mind, etching a mark on the mind of the most brilliant wandmaker in Britain and Europe—and he had to spread the word.
He was to tell the Ministry of Magic about the theory of divine blood, to the Daily Prophet, and even to every wizard child who came to his shop to buy a wand.
Leon looked at Ollivander's dull and chaotic eyes, nodded in satisfaction, took out a bulging bag of gold gallons from his pocket, gently placed it on the counter, and turned to walk into the rows of high shelves.
As if he were strolling around, he picked out more than a dozen wands at random, and majestic spiritual power gushed out, exploding them all.
The peach wood fragments were about to collapse and splash, but they were lightly lifted by spiritual power, and under the manipulation of Leon's will, they stagnated in mid-air.
Phoenix feathers, dragon cranial nerves, Sphinx tendons... The cane cores made of the body of these magical creatures were selected by Li Ang alone, intertwined, pieced together, and assembled, with the most optimized ratio, to achieve a rod core configuration with high-strength load attributes.
With the core of the cane as the center, the fragments of cane wood suspended in the air are driven by spiritual power to approach each other, and the mortise and tenon joints are spliced and the threads are seamed together, weaving into a short-handled cane with a straight and straight center.
Ignoring Mr. Ollivander, who was waking up, he walked straight out of the wand shop with his cane, stepped on the cobblestones of Diagon Alley, and walked towards the Blotted Bookstore.
This bookstore, located next door to Madame Morkin's robes shop, is a well-known chain of bookstores in the wizarding world in Europe, and every Hogwarts student will come to the Blotte Bookstore before the start of the school year to buy a list of textbooks needed for the semester.
It's the middle of the holidays, and the bookstore is a little crowded, and students and parents with young faces walk through the high shelves, shouting all kinds of titles, quite noisy.
Li Ang found a secluded corner, took out his cane and waved it pretendically, and added a levitation spell, but in fact, he controlled the aura to penetrate his body, holding up a large stack of books, and suspended in front of him in a 4*4 square array.
Modern History of Magic, Wizarding Celebrities, Advanced Transfiguration Guide, Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense...
Sixteen books on witchcraft turned their pages in unison, and Leon's eyes were like state-of-the-art scanners, reading and understanding the obscure and esoteric contents.
"As I thought, these wizards don't know where their power comes from, and they simply rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation to use the command aether superficially."
Leon looked at the anecdote in the book about "a certain wizard who caused his wife to turn into a running bull because he mispronounced a word of the spell", and couldn't help but complain in his heart,
"Should I praise them for being as adventurous as the Nobel Prize? Or was he born insane?
They don't have the ability to think logically, they don't know dialectics, they can't control variables, and even the witchcraft books that specialize in educating students only tell them the general points to pay attention to when releasing spells.
Normal people with a little brains will try to compare and study and improve, but these wizards are willing to get used to and adapt to the dangers of witchcraft, and try to test on the edge of explosions every day, and never get tired of it.
If it's not that they naturally like to explode, then it means that the corrosive nature of the divine blood has completely damaged their brains, making them completely unable to use logical tools....."
Li Ang was concentrating on two things, and while thinking, he finished reading the sixteen books in 4*4 and replaced the next book group array.
Dozens of minutes later, hundreds of books in the Blotted Bookstore had been read by Leon, and most of the knowledge of the wizarding world had been imprinted into his mind.
He let out a breath of cloudiness, picked up his cane, and experimented with the spells he had learned.
Talisman Guard, in addition to your weapons, phantom manifestations, floating into the air....
According to the authority of the Ministry of Magic, the essence of the spell is to drive the aether element, arrange and combine them, and inspire all kinds of incredible "miracles".
But in the eyes of Li Ang, who has the ability to think logically, the spell is simply a line of code, and the gestures, tones, incantations, and wills in the process of releasing the spell can all be regarded as the process of codifying the code.
Wizards are like old amateur coders who have only watched one or two IT tutorials, just know how to hit the keyboard indiscriminately, find valid code strings in hundreds of experiments, and pass them down from generation to generation.
However, in the process of inheritance, a lot of content has been lost, tampered with, added or deleted, and the originally concise and beautiful code has been stiffly distorted, forming a large pile of completely unnecessary garbage strings.
What Leon has done is to simplify and optimize and get to the essence.
Hundreds of different spells spilled from the tip of the cane, only to be forcibly cut off by Leon before the edict aether could be effected—he could already see the essence through the phenomenon, the final effect of the programming through the code of the spell.
The secret of the spell was clear before his eyes.
"I reckon that any coder with wizarding potential will be able to outperform the long-established old wizards in terms of codifying and developing witchcraft.
This is a good idea, Peking University Jade Bird Wizard Vocational and Technical College, with innovative vocational education curriculum research and development concepts, specifically for the wizarding world to send professionals or something. ”
Leon put down the book with a smile, looked thoughtfully at the wizards in the bookstore, and said jokingly,
"Hmm.... If that's the case, these wizards will probably be defeated by the onslaught of the coders, and eventually give birth to a Gensokyo ruled by the coders - but I don't expect that the coders who live in the development park will not give up their high salaries and come to rule the wizarding world where entertainment is scarce, and they only need to distribute a baby to each of them to happily return to their hometown to farm. ”
Leon casually threw a bag of gold galleons and put it on the counter of the Blotted Bookstore as a library fee, leaving the wizard apprentices of his age who were still in their youth, and went straight to a store at 93 Diagon Alley with a "storefront for sale" label.
The shop was empty except for the counter seats, which had obviously been cleaned and tidyed up, and sitting behind the counter was a young wizard who saw someone coming to the door and hurriedly stood up to receive him, "Hello, sir, what do you need?" ”
Leon casually surveyed the room, nonchalantly reaching out his staff and pulling it into the void, connecting to the memetic company's underground vault in London, dragging several heavy gold bricks from them and throwing them on the ground with a dull sound.
Li Ang said indifferently in the stunned and shocked eyes of the clerk who looked at the big dog: "I want to buy this shop and sign the contract." ”
