Chapter 1171 Tool Man Attributes
For Kane, the Hog's Head Bar is not a pleasant place to pass the time.
The turbid air and the old and crude utensils go well together, and the pattern environment under the candlelight is quite harmonious with the drinkers who are dressed like ancient and modern, and the overall atmosphere is very internal, but he still prefers the Qing bar of modern mortal society.
He thinks that one of the most important reasons is that after the bonus of the mysterious aura disappears, the fun also decreases.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the prey to appear.
At that time, he was bored flipping through the newspaper, thinking about whether to end this inefficient waiting, and directly use god-level means to achieve his goal, when the leaky door of the bar was pushed open, and the two wizards crashed in under the cold air.
The two men rushed to the bar, shouting for wine and complaining about the bad weather, as if they had been thirsty for two days in the desert and then boasted about the latest situation in Scandinavia.
The conversation between the two of them easily provoked the drinkers to listen, after all, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was over there.
As a magic academy that has been saddled with the name of 'the darkest' for a long time, every time something happens in the wizarding world, there will always be an intuitive reflection there, which is simply the best weather vane.
Kane didn't bother to listen to the two of them talking about what they had and didn't, and the little in the entire wizarding circle seemed to him now to be nothing more than a farce with irony and nonsense like a small animal fight.
At the moment when he drank the wine in the cup, his little finger flicked lightly at the two of them, and then said to the greasy bartender: "Check out." ”
He is now more accustomed to using feminine means that do not work directly. In other words, because they are more confident, they are more calm.
Like now, with a little bit of strength, you can achieve your goal in a way that is almost like the Tao, quietly and without a trace.
Unless it is within the time limit, a certain existence that is connected with him, deliberately deduced in a targeted manner, no anomalies can be detected.
And once the time limit is exceeded, there is a saying: the gods are difficult to save!
So, then, just wait patiently for a while.
In this case, Kane naturally refused to linger here for a long time, walked to the fireplace, raised a handful of Floo powder, and then jumped into the scorching green fire and left.
Floo Network is the wizarding version of the high-speed rail system.
In this case, there must be a central core that extends in all directions, and the core of Britain's Floo network is the Ministry of Magic, and almost any terminal needs to be transferred from the Ministry of Magic.
Because of this, Kane secretly attacked early on to ensure the security of the Internet and avoid being controlled by some troublemakers.
When Kane appeared on the main street of the Ministry of Magic, it was already half past twenty-one.
The first time it was noticed by the patrolling Aurors.
Things have been bad lately, with wizards at risk and the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic on their heads. In normal times, this point is not as empty as a curfew.
Showing the MONOCULUS badge, the two Aurors nodded in awe, and there was no lack of envy in their eyes.
The Shafiq family bore the weight of the crown in the face of the catastrophe, and naturally they were treated by the king.
Many ordinary wizards don't appreciate it so much, because they don't face the darkness and don't feel it deeply, but the Aurors are different.
Therefore, the wizards of the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce, who have demonstrated strength and responsibility in the midst of darkness, are more reliable in the eyes of many Aurors than the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix.
And the MONOCULUS badge, which represents the MONOCULUS wizard, cannot be counterfeited.
Of course, it has been tried more than once, but the badge is protected by some kind of very powerful white sorcery, once you try to impersonate, it is equivalent to automatically completing a special spell, which will not only extract a large amount of magic from the wizard, but also conduct a comprehensive test, if it is an ordinary wizard, if it is a dark mind, such as using an unforgivable spell, it will suffer great damage in both physical and mental directions.
There are more exaggerated cases than that.
As darkness rages, the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce allows registered wizards to use the MONOCULUS Protection Charm.
The so-called registered wizards are not the Ministry of Magic's messy, untimely wizard census files. Rather, it is a wizard file that is counted and archived through the sale of black leaf hemp.
Naturally, some people jumped out to accuse the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce of being ill-intentioned back then, but most ordinary wizards, while being a little unhappy, felt that the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce was quite far-sighted.
Of course, there are also reasons for 'taking people's means and eating people's mouths'. Most wizards are also more sympathetic to the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce.
After all, the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce implemented a limited special price of black leaf hemp for British wizards, which in itself was equivalent to giving money. Many wizards who used to have a poor life have benefited from this.
In this context, drawing the Eye with a wand can complete the Eye Protection Charm, which naturally becomes an unexpected little surprise.
Even those who swore and sneered at each other actually activated the authorization behind their backs and mastered the protective charm.
It's really not difficult, as long as the key depiction is not wrong, even if it is at the level of graffiti, you can complete the protection spell, and the MONOCULUS will automatically adjust to the standard picture, and then it will exist like a secret mark for a period of time, during this time, the MONOCULUS protection charm is able to fight against the unforgivable curse.
Of course, it also depends on who uses the Unforgivable Charm, if it is Voldemort, one Calling Spell will collapse, and most of the time it will be too late to draw a second Protective Charm.
The power of the Shafiq family, with the help of the MONOCULUS Chamber of Commerce, is all over Britain and even the world, holding up a protective umbrella for wizards, and it is natural that they are also respected by wizards.
Especially the Aurors, who are engaged in violent work, are equivalent to having more means to save their lives. As a result, most wizards who can display the MONOCULUS emblem often do not even ask about business as a sign of trust and respect.
Kane put away his badge and headed straight for the depths of the Ministry of Magic.
The magic prohibitions along the way didn't work for him at all, and after more than ten minutes, he entered the Department of Mysteries.
There are a few interesting special rooms in the Department of Mysteries. Back then, he only knew what it was, but he didn't know why, but now, he naturally sees it thoroughly.
From a technical point of view, the HP world is a high-magic world, and it is enough to draw this statement by comparing the conditions for casting the same effect spells in the Phantom Shifter and DND universes.
And the hodgepodge of dark HP world in front of him caused by various reasons is becoming more and more innumerable.
In this context, these special houses of the Department of Mysteries symbolize the legacy of the wizards' exploration of the law in the end-of-law period.
Because the glorious era of magic has long been a distant past, there is no master among today's wizards, even the famous Dumbledore, is only a superficial thing to study the twelve uses of dragon's blood, so it can be said that there are very few people who can explore the laws of research.
Therefore, the transcendent things related to the law are dangerous and unaware in the eyes of wizards. In order to prevent the occurrence of malignant accidents, such items have been contained and sealed.
Kane arrives in the first room that Audio-Technica visits in the Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix chapter.
The most conspicuous feature in this room is the white brain floating in a glass tank, or brain in a jar for short.
Hermione, who is known for her logical thinking in the Iron Triangle, interprets it as a symbol of human thought and wisdom.
This interpretation is consistent with the perception of most modern wizards who know about it, including Dumbledore.
But in fact, this interpretation only expresses a relatively superficial concept.
From a legal point of view, the mid-brain represents 'limited cognition'.
More specifically, it is like the preface of a work, and its general content is the same as 'Tao Ke Dao, very Dao, name can be named, very famous.' 'It's close.
My mind is bound by the law, so I can't tell the truth of the law, and I can only describe part of it far-fetched, so that the later ones can roughly understand it......
In fact, the brain in a vat expresses such a meaning. He was the beginning of a series of sadhanas that told those who came after him, 'It is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all.'
The reason why I talked about this from the beginning is because if you want to study the law, it is very important to have a certain attitude. If you want to study this concept, it is very idealistic, and the accumulation and experience of predecessors on the scientific side, and the set discovered and invented by standing on the shoulders of giants is almost unusable.
No one can peek into the whole picture of the law, which leads to the fact that what anyone thinks is his own 'is'.
Believing in one's own 'yes' leads to the spirit of faith, not to grasp the truth.
The truth, no one really knows, dare not bet, and should not bet, so the beginning of the law layer is my way. It's not because of arrogance, but because of the talent that suits you best, you can be convinced and long-term.
This is also why those heavenly immortal powers, once the Dao heart is shaken, there is a danger of falling.
Today's Kane can not only see through the essence of the laws of some things, but also get used to looking at things from some strange angles.
For example, he was now sure that the brain in the jar was part of the ritual, and the most special rooms of the entire Department of Mysteries constituted the whole of the ritual.
Specifically, this ritual is to study the years and death with the attitude of studying the law.
There is no doubt that immortality is a mystery that wizards crave so much.
As the saying goes, the more you have, the more reluctant you are to die.
And in the transcendent circle, the law of death, the law of time, is definitely the most sought after law subjects, from the little wizard who is immeasurable, to the great master who has the ability to move mountains and seas, for the sake of immortality, there are many people who are willing to pay any price by any means.
That's why darkness and filth are always rampant.
Life is positive, death is negative, and the study of death involves darkness, and even if there is a grand road to go, it is inevitable that the mind will be gradually distorted.
Because darkness is the hotbed of evil, and people's negative emotions, people's bad nature, can be understood as the seeds of evil.
Even a saint in the eyes of ordinary people, with noble character and a near-perfect personality, the obsession of wanting immortality can be transformed into an evil seed, which is distorted by the study of darkness for a long time.
Needless to say, the other swords go sideways, the relevant knowledge reserves are not enough, and the project is strong, and the result is that they go astray and drift away on the evil road.
In any case, a developed transcendent civilization will inevitably give birth to an extraordinary culture of death. The extraordinary here refers to a large-scale and systematic research similar to the development of science and technology promoted by modern mortals, so as to achieve a series of fruitful results.
In the glorious era of magic, there were a large number of wizards, overtly or covertly, who studied death and the laws of time, thus leaving a relatively rich legacy.
The Department of Mystic Affairs of the British Ministry of Magic has a collection of some of this heritage. For some reason, according to the guidance of relevant literature, such a large-scale ritual module was placed.
Perhaps, in their view, this is a relatively good way to seal it. But in Kane's eyes, it is a typical instability.
In the second room, this room of more than 100 square meters, the most striking thing is the huge stone pit located in the center.
It is the center of the pit, and it is the curtain that symbolizes death.
The stone steps that descend step by step around the surroundings symbolize gradual aging and stepping towards death.
Although there was no wind, the drapery swayed gently. This is because, every moment someone dies, and the soul passes through the veil into the kingdom of death.
Just as the brains in the Chamber of Thoughts can spit out real tentacles of thought, the Veils of the Death Room have real power, as most adult wizards know about it.
That's why in the Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix chapter, the Death Eaters stopped when Harry stepped onto the stage where the Curtain was standing.
At that time, only Sirius, who was not afraid of death, and Bellatrice, the madwoman, dared to duel on the stage.
In addition to the Death Eaters and members of the Order of the Phoenix, Harry's companions reacted differently to the Veil.
Hermione and Ron, neither of whom had ever been exposed to death before, showed a predominantly fearful mood here, while Ron appeared calm and even somewhat indifferent.
These are clearly two attitudes towards death.
Ginny Weasley comes close to death in the Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets episode due to the basilisk incident caused by Tom Riddle's notebook, while Neville often spends time with his parents, who are still alive and dead, and even witnesses their torture as a child.
So the two men, staring motionless at death at the time, seemed to be fascinated by the afterlife.
Luna, like Harry, has lost loved ones. As a result, both seemed to hear whispers coming from the curtain. It's like both of them can see Thestrals.
It can be said that the Hall of Veils is indeed very miraculous.
But this miracle, in the eyes of Kane today, is nothing more than a mysterious element that can be seen and touched and divided according to certain laws.
"Death by law!" he waved his wand with a strange shape......
I have to say that the wizard spell casting system in the HP world is, in a way, the most romantic and poetic spell casting system.
The posture and movement of waving the wand are different, and the character's temperament and even cultural literacy can be interpreted from his body language.
But when it came to Kane, this romantic poetry and at the same time no lack of fun was ruthlessly erased by him.
It's not that he doesn't like to show himself, it's not that he doesn't know romance and fun, it's screw thinking, which makes him feel that this kind of operation is tantamount to leaking his own information.
So when he wielded an ugly wand with a handle that was not reminiscent of a baton, the action, though not spicy, had absolutely nothing to do with elegance or so.
This has not changed even today.
Someone said: It's not that we don't know how to enjoy, it's not that we don't want culture, but now we need to grasp mathematics, physics and chemistry, develop and improve and make breakthroughs, and when civilization is prosperous, we will naturally restore the once brilliant culture.
Kane used to think so, and he even thought about the sacrifice behind this statement, sacrificing generations to complete the leap in science and technology, the development of productive forces.
And this sacrifice is embodied in him, which is an almost crazy search for power.
But now when I look back, I find that there are some things that are almost impossible to recover after they are lost.
Even now, he can be called a great power, and he does not have the state of mind he had back then, to pursue and develop those cultural and emotional cores.
To put it bluntly, he himself is a tool man, even if he is already standing at a very high peak, and he has the conditions to pick up the lost parts, he can't get rid of the attributes of the tool man.
If it is changed to the extreme practice of abandoning the cultural core in a group or a nation, it is equivalent to sacrificing several generations and turning them into tool people, and then almost cutting off the cultural inheritance.
After it is broken, the core emotional cohesion of a nation and group is almost lost. After all, tools don't need emotion, they just need to follow the rules and do the right thing.
Therefore, after the tool man, it is the confused generation after generation, and it is the survival pressure that maintains the relationship with each other, and after breaking through the survival pressure, there is basically only money worship and material enjoyment left. There is the inertia of breaking through the pressure of survival (earning money means breaking through), there is also the confusion caused by spiritual emptiness (there is nothing to believe except money), and it is egoism that runs throughout, and the reason why this is so is that there is no spiritual backlash caused by being made into a tool man, even if it is subconscious.
Therefore, culture and science and technology are two legs, not to mention the lack of one, that is, one is long and one is short, and they will become lame.
Kane felt that he was a cripple, and this time he took advantage of the time to open the Dyson sphere-style space information collection law force field to run back to the world to enjoy life, in fact, he had the intention of curing his lameness.
Of course, for now, there is no good start.
This is also within his expectations, it is difficult to return, this kind of thing that points directly to the heart, is not a show, it is meaningless to deceive, he can only hope that through a long enough time, using the popularity of the world, he can gradually cover and melt his emotional ice.
And to do this, the chaotic world is naturally undesirable, he has seen enough of the darkness of human nature or something, there are too many such things, and it will only strengthen the emotional ice.
Then we will try to create a peaceful environment as much as possible.
So this time there is no vanity to be a savior, but for yourself.
With the dance of the wand, the transformation of the laws that began with darkness begins. It's like dominoes, just like the casting effect of the Kama Taj series, a series of revisions of the law, using this kind of visual effect metaphor, is about the most vivid.
The darkness is broken, the negativity has lost its basis, and the law of death is difficult to maintain a stable state, just as the most important pillar of the edifice has been sucked away, and the collapse and collapse begin.
But Kane's ingenuity soon led to a new deconstructive stability.
The wonder of the veil just vanished.
In fact, it's not just gone, it's left a pit. If any being tries to use the Veil to play a reversal of life and death, they will be pleasantly surprised.
Kane was not at all worried that leaving such a pit would harm the good guys, and there were no good guys who could use the veil.
