454. Learning for the sake of achieving brain holes
After saying goodbye to Cedric, Scott arrives alone in the Room of Requirement.
When he entered the study, he heard the voice of regret from Helena, the girl in the painting.
"What a pity, Scott!"
Scott walked up to the painting where Helena was, "Why is it a pity?" ”
In the painting, Helena is sitting lazily on a large, soft-looking chair, with her chin propped up by her hands.
"I mean the Triwizard Tournament." She pouted, "You're not yet 17 years old, and you can't be a Hogwarts Warrior." ”
Scott smiled, "That's not good. ”
"Oh?" Helena sat up straight and stared at Scott outside the painting, "Is there any way you can get around the 17-year-old age limit?" Do you use an age-enhancing agent? ”
Scott shook his head, "Age rejuvenators? Of course not. ”
"And what can you do?" Helena asked curiously.
"I don't know." Scott said justifiably.
Helena was a little angry when she heard this, "Are you kidding me?" ”
"Of course not." "If the organizers were going to take all the students out of the age based on their profiles, I wouldn't have any chances," Scott said. But I guess they won't do that. ”
"You know the Goblet of Fire?"
Another voice similar to the girl in the painting, but more mature, sounded.
Helena, the ghost, suddenly appears in the study.
Scott turned, "It's been centuries since the last Triwizard Tournament, but if you look for it carefully, you can still find some written records. ”
"What Goblet of Fire?" Helena, the girl in the painting, asked.
Before the ghost Helena opened the study, the magic image in the room had been in an "inactive" state, so she was unaware of the Goblet of Fire.
"Goblet of Fire is ......"
The ghost Helena explains the existence of the Goblet of Fire to her girlhood portrait.
After saying that, she looked at Scott again, "The Goblet of Fire will choose the most suitable students to become warriors, but the first thing you have to do is to successfully cast your name in, which is not something that can be easily done." ”
Scott just said, "Whether it's magic or alchemy, there must be a way to crack it." I don't know how to put a name in it yet, but there's always a way. ”
"Hmph, that's so confident." Helena, the girl in the painting, says, "I hope you don't mess it up then." ”
Helena the Ghost just smiled, "It's a shame that this Triwizard Tournament isn't held at Hogwarts, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform, Scott." ”
The girl asks her, "Do you think so highly of him?" ”
Helena the Ghost smiled, "Of course, Scott is the best of the current Ravenclaw Academy's students. Not only that, but he was also an apprentice to his mother. ”
"Well, for Mother's sake." The girl in the painting glanced at Scott, "I hope you don't disgrace your mother and Ravenclaw College." ”
"I hope so."
Scott smiled, then entered the inner room.
"You want to compete in the Triwizard Tournament as a Warrior?" The Ravenclaw tutor in the painting asked.
"Yes." Scott replied.
Ravenclaw nodded slightly, "Ready?" ”
"There are already some ideas." Scott replied again, "Originally, I wanted to wait until the enchantment potion was made before trying it. ”
However, the production of the magic potion took half a year, and it seemed that it would not be able to catch up with the start of the Triwizard Tournament.
So Scott was ready to try the low-spec version first.
In other words, you don't have to do it in one step.
Anyway, with his current level of transfiguration, even the low-end version will have simple intelligence and autonomous combat ability, but it just can't become a regular partner like Rimbaud.
He told Ravenclaw, "In terms of Transfiguration, in addition to the fire type that I have already tried, I am also going to make three commonly used 'summoning beasts' of water, earth, and wind to help me fight. ”
"Four elements?" Ravenclaw nodded, "I've taught you about the magic circuits, and I'm sure you'll be able to accomplish your thoughts." ”
Scott said respectfully, "But I still have one more idea, which I don't know too much, and I want your guidance from the mentor." ”
Ravenclaw suddenly became a little interested, "Let's hear it." ”
"This set of magic circuits was named by me [Ice Ocean Starry Sky Fantasy]." Scott took out the Sailor's Astrolabe in one hand, "The magic circuit from the Mariner's Astrolabe, but it seems a little too complicated. ”
With his other hand, he drew his wand and waved it in the air.
The magic glittered in the air, turning into golden filaments that formed a magic circuit that had always been extremely complex.
Scott watched with some fascination at the intricate patterns he had magically displayed.
"I can only reproduce it, but I haven't understood it yet."
"What do you want out of it?" Ravenclaw asked.
Scott said, "I think if I can get some ability to manipulate illusions by parsing this set of magic circuits, then my combat will be much more flexible." ”
"I see."
In the painting, Ravenclaw stares at the set of magic circuits with great interest.
After a long moment, she spoke again, "I already understand. I have to say that this set of magic circuits is very exquisite, and it is a type that even I have never tried. ”
Scott looked at her expectantly.
Ravenclaw shook his head, "Your idea is great, but it's too hard to make it happen." ”
"Could you please explain?"
"This set of magic circuits is for the realization of the specific illusion you see, and most of the magic scripts exist to represent those things in the illusion."
Scott was disappointed.
He already understood.
He had to learn most of the ancient magic texts to the point of being extremely profound, and combine them with the part of the magic texts in this set of magic circuits that realized the illusion at will, so that he could create different illusions as he wanted.
But it's too complicated.
As long as one of the magic scripts goes wrong, the illusion will become very fake.
Unless his brain becomes a supercomputer, it's pretty much the same.
But the disappointment was short-lived, and Scott quickly threw that mentality behind and picked himself up again.
"Even so, my idea is worth researching," he said. Even if it's just a few simple illusions, it's a big gain. ”
For example, the pure black illusion can be used as a means of blinding, and it must also be able to achieve good results in battle.
For example, you can make a fantasy of a flock of crows, and combine it with a real flock of crows, and you can also play some tricks.
Of course, there are many other interesting uses.
Scott's mind was blown away for a moment.
"Looks like your brain hasn't stopped." Ravenclaw smiled slightly, "Then, let's start the targeted teaching now, and when you have thoroughly understood this set of magic circuits, you can try to create a simpler illusion on your own." ”
Scott sat down energetically and pulled out his pen and notebook.
No matter how many interesting ideas come to his head, he must first study them honestly before they can be realized.
It wasn't until dinner time that Scott, who was a little dizzy from learning, left the Requirement Room.
Scott, who didn't eat lunch, had a big meal to fill his stomach.
After dinner, he went to Professor Flitsch's office again.
"Please be seated."
Professor Flitwick grading student work.
Scott sat down on the couch at his desk.
Professor Flitwick placed the quill in his hand in the inkwell.
Then, the wooden office chair under his ass moved.
The four legs of the chair moved nimbly, allowing him to face Scott.
At the same time, the teapot and teacup on the table began to move on their own, pouring hot tea for Scott and himself.
Professor Flitwick picked up his teacup, "I called you here to talk about the Triwizard Tournament. ”
"I've learned a few things about the Goblet of Fire." Scott said.
"Oh! Really! You have an idea for becoming a warrior! Isn't it? Professor Flitwick was a little excited, "Yes! Of course I'd love to see a Hero from Ravenclaw represent Hogwarts! ”
Scott laughed, "Since you said so, it seems that even if I don't reach the required age, I still have a chance, then, I'll try." ”
Professor Flitwick said, "Oh, I can't tell you much for the sake of fairness. But I still want to tell you that the age rule is not without a way to cross over. ”
"Thank you for telling me this."
"Of course, of course, I can't say more. The rest is up to you. ”
With that, Scott said goodbye to Professor Flitwick in a happy mood.
"Except for your weapons!"
As I walked through a few corridors, a red light flashed around the corner.
A wand flew over and was caught by Scott reaching out.
"Hawthorn wood, usually with unicorn hair."
Scott sensed the wand in his hand and walked around the corner.
"Looks like it's your wand, Malfoy."
He smiled and shook his wand at little Malfoy, who was confronting Harry.
The three of Harry were all pointing their wands at Malfoy Jr. and his henchmen, and even Hermione, who had always been calmer than Harry and Ron, was like an angry lioness at the moment.
Malfoy's two hunky henchmen were pointing their wands at Harry, and they immediately turned around when they heard Scott speak.
But the moment they saw the person coming, their faces changed, and they quickly put down the hand holding the wand.
Little Malfoy's female companion, Parkinson, was not as scared as they were.
"Give the wand back to Draco, Trollope." She said.
"Don't give it to him, Scott." Ron immediately said, "This bastard, he must be punished!" ”
Scott stood still and didn't move.
"What happened?" He asked.
"We heard him babbling." Hermione said.
Harry gritted his teeth, "They're insulting Dumbledore!" Everyone knows that those in the newspapers are damn rumors! ”
"Who knows?"
Little Malfoy suddenly scoffed.
He looked a little haggard and thin, but his eyes were bright.
Originally, he was a little afraid of Scott's arrival, but suddenly he didn't care.
He lifted his chin and looked like a haughty expression on his face, "Do you know Dumbledore well?" ”
"Of course!" Ron replied without thinking, "Everyone admits that Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of the century!" ”
Little Malfoy smiled disdainfully, "Of course, I know. Weasley, your whole family will want to get down on your knees and lick Dumbledore's toes. ”
Ron's cheeks flushed with anger and his nostrils shrunk.
Harry burst out laughing, "You describe it vividly, Draco, it looks like your whole family is on your knees and licking Voldemort's dirty toes!" Oh, I remember he didn't wear shoes! ”
At this moment, little Malfoy's pale face also turned red with anger.
"Oh, and you!" Ron was proud, "Goyle, Crabbe, Parkinson, you should have licked them all!" ”
"Alright, stop."
Before the two sides could resist their move, Scott stopped them.
"As long as I'm here, you can't fight." He offered to throw Malfoy Jr.'s wand at him, "I won't take the initiative, but I can stop you." You know, I can do it. ”
Little Malfoy, with a gloomy face, reached out and took his wand, and turned away without saying a word.
Goyle, Crabbe, and Parkinson hurriedly followed him.
Looking at the backs of the four people, Ron deliberately said loudly, "Oh! Scott! You should teach them a hard lesson! ”
Scott shrugged his shoulders, "No, I still want to go to Beauxbatons." ”
"Okay." Ron slumped his shoulders, "If Professor McGonagall knew, you wouldn't be able to go." ”
"What about you?" Scott didn't mention the conflict again, "Do you have all your recommendations?" ”
The three of them shook their heads in disappointment at the same time.
Professor McGonagall said that opportunities would still be given to senior students. Hermione said unconvinced.
"It's okay not to go." "I also don't really want to meet a lot of strangers who are curious about me, who are curious about the scar on my head and look at me like they are visiting a zoo." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was ......" Ron touched his nose in embarrassment.
"Nothing, if only you were the only one I could accept." Harry laughed, "But there are always too many curious people. ”
Scott could tell that Harry was insincere.
After all, who wouldn't want to go to Beauxbatons in the whole of Hogwarts to see the excitement?
But Scott didn't debunk his self-consolation either.
"You don't have to be too sorry." He said a message, "I'll be in charge of streaming the Triwizard Tournament when the time comes, and Fred and George will be in charge of the Hogwarts part. ”
"Live?" Harry's eyes widened.
Hermione was also surprised and said, "How is that possible? Televisions are not allowed at Hogwarts! ”
Only Ron wondered, "What is livestreaming?" ”
"Anyway, I made a device that could be streamed remotely. If you want to know more, ask Fred and George. ”
Without further explanation, Scott waved his hand and left.
Maybe it's time to reach out to a new friend.
Back in his dormitory, he took out the Book of Prometheus and sent a letter to his new friend Lucio in Beauxbatons, informing him that he would be visiting Beauxbatons with the Hogwarts delegation on the last day of October.
Lucio's reply was quick.
[Oh, welcome to Beauxbatons, Scott!] I have a new alchemy work I want to share with you! You'll be amazed then, I promise! ]
Lucio doesn't seem to care much about the Triwizard Tournament, and his mind is still full of alchemy.
