Dumbledore lifted the round lens on the bridge of his nose and flipped open the heavy stone cover. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Each page inside the info is also a stone slab, about the same thickness as a finger, densely carved with many small characters. The language used on it was so old that Tolkien might have recognized it, and Dumbledore had to pull out a dictionary-like pamphlet to prepare.

"I had the privilege of visiting the alchemist Nicol Lemay and listening to him talk about what happened six hundred years ago. It was a dark time when witches were hunted down and wizards had nowhere to hide. Dumbledore said, "Wands became popular in order to be able to cast spells better against Muggle swords and bows, and that was the time when the spells we use were becoming more and more formalized. ”

"But that still doesn't explain the problem found in you, yours is much older, all the way back to the time of the origins of magic. You've probably heard Muggles say that it's called for_jesus_sake, and we'll sigh at Merlin's beard, both of which are used to express surprise. ”

Zhao Mai opened his mouth slightly, and said in surprise: "Merlin's beard? Do you mean King Arthur's Merlin?"

"Yes and no. Dumbledore said, "King Arthur did have a wise man and a magician by his side, and he was Merlin, but not the only Merlin. In earlier times, Merlin was a title that referred to a person who was proficient in witchcraft. Merlin of the Arthurian era became famous because he put together a set of spell methods to help wizards learn the power of spells, which is the foundation of our current school of witchcraft and wizardry. Moreover, he was also the last Merlin, and Merlin did not appear again after him. We believe he is still alive, just sealed away in an unknown place. ”

"Wow, so there is still this kind of secret, haven't you been looking for Merlin all along?"

"This kind of action was prevalent three or four hundred years ago, but most of them did not come of it. There is a theory that if Merlin's seal is lifted, then a new Merlin will be born, and most of the spells will have to be relearned, thus changing the current situation in the wizarding world. Later, the Ministry of Magic ordered that the search for Merlin was absurd and illegal. ”

"The Ministry of Magic is pretty wide. "Zhao Mai knows that the Ministry of Magic is connected with the transcendent, so there may be the instruction of the transcendent behind this order. "But what does Merlin have to do with me? you don't think I'm his descendant, do you?"

Dumbledore lowered his head and looked over the lenses, "How could you have such a strange idea? I don't think all witchcraft comes out of nowhere, it must have its roots. Where did Merlin learn his spells?" he gestured to the book in his hand, "It says that Merlin is the title given to the Druid Order for the Wizard Master. ”

"Druid?!" Zhao Mai shouted: "How can it be a druid?"

"There's nothing too surprising that druids are quite old religions after all. Dumbledore glanced at Zhao Mai thoughtfully, still keeping his voice calm, and continued: "It can basically be said that a single totem worship was born first, and then because of the merger of tribes, multiple totems appeared to explain the world, and in that era, druids were born, they studied all things in nature and learned the power of magic from them. In Celtic culture, druids and kingship were juxtaposed, with druids in charge of counsel politics and even influencing the change of throne. They were in charge of the rituals, healers, magicians, soothsayers, poets, and historians of their clans, and they had to ask the druids if they could go to war. Even the word magic was developed from that era, by the druids. It was only later, with the change of royal power and the rise of new religious forces (Roman and Christian), that the druids gradually eliminated from the hierarchy of power and became pure spellcasters. ”

"Everyone else, including Merlin, is part of the druids. King Arthur's Merlin was quite intelligent and could be called the strongest magician. He summarized his spells and then formed a system that allowed people to learn them step by step. Although not everyone was able to learn, the number of wizards and witches increased greatly, and the current wizarding world was slowly formed. ”

"So," Dumbledore said, "you're still casting spells, but not the spells used by wizards now, most likely druid's spells." ”

Well, Dumbledore was right, Zhao Mai's strength is indeed a druid, and although the psychic ability is also a kind of power he has, it still focuses on the method of use, and the natural force is the core of Zhao Mai. But Zhao Mai knew very well that the source of his druid power was obtained under the tree of realization in the world of Gralion, so why did he have anything to do with the druids on the earth?

"The question now is, how did you get the spell-casting ability of the druid?" Dumbledore said, "The druids are very rare now, and they basically don't have the ability to cast spells, and even if they do, they actually learned them from wizards - the old methods are long gone." I've searched all the books, and there are no records of how ancient druids cast spells. It's just that I saw something in a travelogue that there was an old spell called McCamme. He waved his wand and said "McCamme", but nothing happened. "Mike, could you please do it?"

"Does this work? I don't even know what this spell is for. Zhao Mai took out his wand and waved "McCamme".

A white flame emerged from the tip of the wand, emitting warm heat and pulsating like a heartbeat, making a "pounding, pounding" sound. Zhao Mai held the wand and felt the feeling of being one from the wand. The clutches were like an extension of his arm, and the flame was part of his body.

The flames jumped for a moment, then suddenly exploded into a ring of fire that spread out in all directions. The ring of fire had no effect on anything, piercing through the human body, tables, bookshelves, and walls like an illusion, flying about ten meters before vanishing. "What is this spell for?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I just say 'looking for the light of the heart'. Dumbledore cupped his glasses, "Now it's clear that you're using a druid's spell and not a wizard's." I don't have a clue why this is the case, but you can tell me. ”

"Well, I'll be honest: I don't know either. Zhao Mai looked at the wand in his hand, and suddenly had a feeling that he didn't need to put it in the storage bracelet, he only needed to use the transformation of the natural force to receive it into his body. Through McCamme's spell, the wand has become a part of his body, part of the Force cycle.

He let go of his hand, and instead of falling, his wand wriggled and dissolved in his flesh. As soon as he shook his hand, the wand appeared again, almost like an Italian gold hoop and obedient. Dumbledore's eyes widened as he looked at Zhao Mai "conjuring magic", his eyes full of curiosity: "This is the effect of McCammer's spell?"

"It should be. Zhao Mai said to Dumbledore, "Can I try it with your wand?"

"Use this one, a wand for school practice, for the Black Magic Defense class. Dumbledore took out a cheap wand, and Zhao Mai took it and waved it, "McCamme!"

The flames still appeared, pulsating like a heartbeat, and burned the wand to ashes. The burning flames had no effect on Zhao Mai, and they could not ignite even a single piece of paper. "It's good that I didn't test it with my wand. Dumbledore smiled happily, "You must stay at Hogwarts, you are so important to the study of the origins of magic!" (To be continued.) )
