298. Trollope, King of the Furnace
The second weekend of November is here again.
Scott still went into the Room early Saturday morning to start the day of intense study.
Even during his midday break, he was still experimenting with Transfiguration.
In Helena's study, he's sitting cross-legged on the carpet as a listening bat flies in front of him.
Then, with a decisive wave of his wand, he cast a color-changing charm.
"Changing colors!"
The enchanted beam hits the bat accurately, but the next second ......
Click, click.
The sound of wood shattering kept ringing in the study.
The bat did not change color after being hit by the spell, but instantly stiffened, degenerating into a wooden sculpture, and then cracking open and shattering to the ground.
The girl Helena had been sitting in a painting near Scott watching his movements, and at this point she couldn't help but open her mouth.
"What are you doing?" She said with some dissatisfaction, "Who said it wouldn't stain my study?" ”
"I'm sorry." Scott, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, straightened up.
He waved his wand, and the splinters of wood on the carpet vanished.
Then, he took out a wooden sculpture of a bat that had been inscribed with ancient magic inscriptions from the skin pouch of the transforming lizard, and used the Transfiguration Charm to transform it into a living bat.
This time, instead of using the spell rashly, he held his chin and fell into thought.
"What the hell are you doing?" Helena, the girl in the painting, asked again.
Scott looked up at her, "I'm doing Transfiguration experiments. ”
He reached out and let the bat rest on his finger.
"It's a listening bat." He whispered, "I have carved a listening script on the wooden statue so that this bat can hear it from a distance to my ears. ”
The young girl Helena exclaimed, "Cast a Transfiguration Charm on an object that depicts Runiwen? This is simply unheard of! No wonder your mother will take you as an apprentice. ”
Scott didn't answer, and continued to stare at the bat in his hand.
The girl Helena couldn't stop as soon as she spoke.
"Different spells will apply different states to objects, and the Transfiguration Charm can also be said to be a state, but different states will affect each other......"
The girl should have understood what Scott meant.
"It's fine if it's a spell with a similar effect, but Runiven's operation and spell are different systems."
Helena's voice grew louder and louder.
"In this bat, it stands to reason that Runiwen's operation and the maintenance of Transfiguration are difficult to match in the performance of magical power, but you have done it!"
"Yes, I did. It's not too difficult, including casting spells on mere Transfiguration products......" Scott said, "but it's ...... hard"
He pinched the wand in his hand.
"The hard part is how to make the three coexist."
"Three?" Helena, the girl in the painting, asked aloud.
Scott nodded casually.
"Transfiguration Charm, Magic Charm, with the addition of Runiwen, the coexistence of the three?" The girl asked again in an almost screaming tone, "Are you crazy?" ”
"Not really."
The bat in Scott's hand flew up, and he waved his wand again.
"Changing colors."
Click, click.
He watched expressionlessly as the slag fell one after another.
"That's it, your idea can't succeed."
Helena, the girl in the painting, said in a tone of course.
"This is forcing the object to maintain three different forms at the same time under the influence of magic, and the consequence of the attempt is, of course, collapse."
Scott once again used the Descaling Charm to remove the wood residue from the carpet.
"It's almost impossible to add all three." He said.
The girl in the painting says, "It's impossible!" ”
Scott smiled, "You thought it was impossible for the two to be stacked together, didn't you?" ”
"This ......," the girl was a little speechless.
But she soon added: "But it is countless times harder to maintain the stability of three states at the same time than two!" ”
"That's true." Scott nodded rightly, "So I'm studying, trying, and believing that one day I'll solve this problem." ”
Helena, the girl in the painting, fell silent and did not speak again for a long time.
Scott looked up and saw that she was staring at him with a thoughtful expression.
"What's wrong?" Scott asked.
"I'm thinking," the girl whispered...... "Thinking differently, maybe that's the difference between me and you." ”
Scott looked at her with some surprise.
The girl continued, "I set a ceiling on my magic with ideas, but you don't. ”
Scott continued to be surprised.
"It's a pity......," the girl sighed, "and now I have figured it out, but I can't try it." ”
"Yes...... Oh, yes. Scott chimed in.
He was tempted to say to the girl in the painting that while magic is the power of believing, it is useless to just believe.
Otherwise, wizards wouldn't have the so-called magical talent.
Of course, perhaps the girl in the painting also knows this, which does not prevent her from deceiving herself to play, in short, Scott did not expose her.
After the lunch break, Scott once again walked into the inner room where the portrait of Ravenclaw was located.
"Mentor ......"
Scott was about to say something when he suddenly felt the deformed lizard leather pouch around his waist begin to vibrate violently.
"It's Medea." He tugged at the leather bag in his hand and said to the Ravenclaw in the painting.
Ravenclaw in the painting smiled, "You said about the local Floo network?" ”
She looked curiously at the leather bag in Scott's hand and motioned for Scott to open it.
Scott let go of his hand, and the pouch opened automatically, and a small toy-like fireplace flew out of the pouch.
Scott hurriedly reached out and let the small fireplace land on the palm of his hand.
At the same time, a green flame ignites in the fireplace.
Trolope, the king of the furnace?
Scott complained to himself.
"Good afternoon, Scott." Medea's voice came from the green flames.
"Good afternoon." Scott said into the small fireplace, "Medea." ”
Medea smiled and said, "You really didn't go to see William, of course, I don't think William's own way will get you to leave Hogwarts." ”
"I was tricked, but luckily my friend noticed something was wrong and alerted me in time." Scott also smiled and said, "Are you trying to say that William's little gestures have nothing to do with you?" ”
"Of course not, although William's small actions are self-made, they are also acquiesced by me." Medea said.
Scott was a little surprised, "But you don't think his little gesture will succeed. ”
"Of course." Medea laughed again, "If such a small action really works, boy, I will be disappointed in you." ”
Scott said in a helpless tone: "But you still acquiesced to William's small actions, this is a test for me?" ”
"No, I just don't think there's any need to stop William from playing with you." Medea said, "After all, you seem to be on good terms. ”
“……”
Scott twitched the corners of his mouth.
God is so playful!
