Chapter Eighty-Eight: On the Similarities and Differences between Monks and Sorcerers

Looking at Sophie's doting eyes, Brett grinned, "Thank you, Mom, I think I'd better write a reply first." ”

"I'll lend you Brighton. Xiu smiled and walked into the room, came to the window, pulled out his wand and fired a silent spell out the window.

Soon, a dark brown owl covered with white spots flew in and landed gently on the shelf not far in front of the window, Xiu casually took out a piece of jerky from the box on the small table and fed it to it, and then gently combed it a few times, "Brighton, can you go and deliver a letter to little Bray in a moment? ”

Brighton, who swallowed the jerky in a few bites, stared straight ahead, stretched his neck and nodded very humanely, stretched his wings again, and made a cooing sound in his mouth, Xiu took another piece of jerky and fed it to it. "Okay, you go to the study with little Bray, I'm sure he'll be able to write the letter soon, isn't it?"

"Of course, it's a breeze. Brett saluted his parents, beckoned Brighton to stop over his shoulder, and went to his study. This Brighton is an owl raised when he repaired Hogwarts, and now he is almost 30 years old, but it seems that he is still in the prime of life, since Nairo came here, several birds in the family get along relatively well, on the one hand, because of Nairo's coercion, so that other spiritual animals are more afraid, on the other hand, Nairo is also like Brett, following the locals, and treating the intelligent creatures in the castle as his own. On weekdays, the owls and the old cat Benjamin catch mice, and Nairo also shares fresh seagulls and seagull eggs with them.

Brett took Brighton to the study on the third floor, Brighton silently flew to the side, Brett lit the lamp in the corner of the table, took out a small stack of brown and yellow thin parchment paper from the drawer and put it on the desk, reached out and picked up a blue magic pen on the pen stand, thought for a while, and began to write back:

Dear Mr. Albus Dumbledore,

Hello, it is an honour to receive the offer of admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, our whole family is very happy because of this, I will be in London before September 1st, I am sure that the next 7 years will be very pleasant, by the way, please say hello to Mr. Headmaster on my behalf.

Also: I don't have an owl, but I have a raven, can I bring it to school?

Love you Brett Butterfield

July 18, 1938

Brett folded the letter and put it in a dark blue envelope, and wrote in floral letters on the top of the envelope, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Mr. Albus Dumbledore." ”

Affix the seal and raise it at Brighton, Brighton flew to the table lightly, Brett tied the letter, then took out a strong tendon pill and fed it to Brighton, patting it on the back, "Go ahead, hard work, old man." ”

After Brighton spread his wings, Brett quietly went downstairs to his room, closed the door, and instantly entered the system world, and came to the library next to the school grounds, and now there are many books in it, all of which are collected from the Iron Umbrella plane and the Harry Potter plane and personally think that they are of some value.

Easily found eight books such as "Introduction to Spells" and "History of Magic" needed by first-year freshmen from the bookshelf, put them in the storage space, and then went to the second floor of the Huixin Tower to practice.

Over the years, Brett has searched through almost all the magic books he can find, and what surprised him is that unlike those pure magical creatures such as Hippogriffs and Thestrals, many animals and plants, including humans, have a certain percentage of magical races, and the existence of magic genes makes there a very large gap between the same species.

Take human beings as an example, the degree of mutation of wizards is between ordinary humans and monks, and only humans who have spiritual roots can become monks, this is a prerequisite, monks continue to improve their abilities through the cultivation of spiritual roots, according to the advantages and disadvantages of spiritual root qualifications, the speed and height of growth are not the same, and the lowest spiritual root qualifications are not much stronger than ordinary humans, while the best high-quality spiritual roots can easily reach the level of the heavens and even higher levels, but regardless of the quality of spiritual roots, as long as there is a spiritual root, there will be different degrees of perception of the corresponding elements, which is incomparable to ordinary humans。

The so-called wizards in the West mostly refer to a group of people who do not have spiritual roots but have wisdom roots, such as some people with spiritual medium talents and prediction abilities, and even strictly speaking, Luo Zhenren and Gongsun Sheng, those Taoist priests who have achieved cultivation, also belong to the category of wizards, although they do not have spiritual root talents, but they have outstanding wisdom roots. Although you can't use the elemental energy around you to strengthen your physique, you can control all kinds of elements through mental power and spells, and different elements are arranged and combined to form different magic to achieve different effects, and the spells and wands recited by wizards are a special formation, and they are also a necessary part of completing a complete magic. Sadly, the West has lost most of its ancient languages, which are the closest natural spells to nature, and the Latin, English, French, Russian, and even Arabic languages commonly used by modern wizards are far from being as powerful as they once were.

Those great magicians who can achieve wandless spell casting are either extremely strong in spirit, and only need spells to manipulate magic elements, and do not need the assistance of a magic wand, or there is a spiritual root in their body, and their body itself is the best medium, and they do not need to use a wand to achieve the effect of transmitting, enhancing and disseminating magical power. The European race is not as good as the Oriental people, coupled with the fear and rejection of wizards for hundreds of years, as well as the killing and self-cherishing of wizards among wizards, resulting in their wizarding culture is not very advanced and long-standing, that is, the wizarding world has only developed slightly in the last few hundred years. But because there are very few people who have spiritual roots, people who have spiritual roots and strong spiritual power are even rarer, and the Western magic world has almost no contact with the East, and it seems that they still don't understand the existence of spiritual roots, but they simply think that some wizards are talented, probably favored by God, and there is also a manifestation that some magic fields are extremely good, but in other fields they are like an idiot, which is also related to the wizard's spiritual root attributes and qualifications, such as Mr. Neville Longbottom is a very typical example.

Now Brett has the mental power of the early stage of Jindan and the body of the late stage of foundation building, and he only needs to send it as he wishes when casting spells, and spells and actions are redundant to him, but he still studies some magic knowledge that is not particularly profound, and some of the magic is still very creative and practical, such as phantom shifting, guiding spells, unlocking spells, permanent sticky spells and calling god guards, etc., Brett thinks the most interesting is the Muggle expulsion charm, which is much simpler and more convenient than arranging the formation. In addition, there is flying art, and very few people among wizards have mastered it, but there are still people who can perform it, and among monks, unless it is a wind monk, it is at least necessary to reach the golden pill stage before it can fly naturally without the help of magic weapons and other tools, and the principle of this magic is very worthy of in-depth study.
