Chapter 21: Flitwick's Interest
"In ancient times, Godric Gryffindor used to defeat his opponents with a great sword. Obviously, this is not a complete physical attack. ”
Ricciardo was talking in Flitwick's office, Flitwick holding a book and reading it as he listened.
"After all, as a master of combat, Lord Gryffindor will not despise any opponent, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his might, it is impossible for Lord Gryffindor not to understand."
"From this, I think of the Knights of the Round Table around King Arthur in Merlin's time, are they really just Muggles? If it were just a Muggle war, the Holy Merlin would not have come. God lives in humanity and can only bring disaster to humanity. ”
Flitwick took a sip of his tea and put down the book unhurriedly.
"Yes, the Knights of the Round Table may not be ordinary Muggles, they may ...... It's the same type of wizard as Lord Gryffindor," he nodded approvingly, "but it's also possible that they're all wearing alchemical armor. ”
"That's what I was thinking, but the Sorting Hat told me that Gryffindor has always fought with a great sword."
"So, your thoughts are ......" Flitwick raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a look of surprise.
“…… Did you think of it? ”
"Maybe." Flitwick looked like he knew it.
Ricardo smacked his lips, a little regretful.
I thought I could surprise the old professor, but it seems that people have already thought of a lot.
"I'm a certain age," Flitwick said with a smile, "I already know a lot of things, and this physical magic is naturally clear. ”
He handed the book he was reading to Ricardo:
"This is a book that I sent to me when I was a student traveling."
Ricardo flipped through the book, frowned, and then said in surprise:
"Little Day...... The little life is good...... Japan? Speech...... Spirits? ”
I saw a few big words written in the book: "tattoos, wands and words".
What the heck? The spirit of words was taken out alone? Do you still have to come to the Eight Snake Families?
"Words and spells are the same, let's not talk about that yet." Flitwick glanced at the bewildered Ricardo and said.
"There's a school of wizards out there who burn their magic crests on human skin, giving them magical resistance."
That is, the warrior gains the magic resistance skin and then plays melee combat with the mage.
What will be the result? Ricardo didn't have to think about it, unless Hagrid was that size, anyone would pounce.
As for the fact that he climbed onto the body of the fire dragon? It was because he was afraid that the other party would hurt his students, so he took the risk to make this move, and obviously solved the siege, but that way cannot be referred to.
He also struggled in the orphanage and finally developed physical strength.
"Then they must be belligerent, right?"
"This ...... I don't know. ”
"How does this work...... It should be the same as Lord Gryffindor," Ricardo mused, "but Lord Gryffindor's skill should be a little better than that guy. ”
"Also, Lord Gryffindor's body doesn't have that strange pattern. Treating tattoos as magic patterns is really a second explosion. ”
"Of course, of course," Flitwick agreed, "Lord Gryffindor is in a more difficult situation than the wizards of the Far East, and the body patterns he has created must be much more complex than theirs. ”
They were silent for a moment, for that time when wizards were hunted down.
It was one of the nightmares of the wizarding world, where Muggles tied wizards to pillars of fire and burned them to death, the Papal armies hunted down the young wizards who had just awakened, and the kings feared their power while coveting their spells, leaving wizards with nothing but darkness and death.
History has never lacked blood and violence.
The four founders even put up obstacles at Hogwarts Castle so that the young wizards would have more time to escape when the Muggles invaded.
…… This also greatly increased Mr. Fei's workload.
After a long time, Ricardo spoke:
"With my perseverance, and in the painful memories of Mr. Sorting Hat, we have found several related spells that have been tattooed on our bodies."
"One is the Fire Spell, where the opponent hits a body, it will breathe flames in the corresponding place; One is the Super Illumination Spell, which can shoot a super light at the opponent, and then you can imagine what will happen, and the other is the Armor Charm, which has the effect of magic resistance. ”
"I have to say that Your Excellency Gryffindor is very similar to me in his way of dealing with enemies."
Ricardo bragged to himself, causing the old professor across from him to roll his eyes.
"My current idea is, can I engrave the first two spell patterns on the card, so that I can make a successful card?"
"You forgot," Flitwick reminded, "the material is different, the result is different." ”
"It is conceivable," said Ricardo, "that Lord Gryffindor will not keep the danger to himself, and that this method of engraving that has been handed down will not cause harm to the flesh, so it must be safe." ”
"Different materials, different effects." Flitwick changed his story, but still disagreed.
"So I didn't come to you, Filius?" Ricardo said, "I'd like to take a look at it over the next few weekends, at least improve these spell patterns so that they can be engraved on cards." ”
"You mean, to squeeze me out of an old man's precious weekend time?" Flitwick grinned and "questioned".
"It depends on your mood," Ricardo joked, too, "I'm just asking you to keep my life safe before being cursed by the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in this regard." ”
"That's a curse too?"
"After reading the sacrifices of the martyrs of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, what happened to me in this position" is not surprising.
"Hmm...... It's going to be a great improvement," Flitwick held his chin, "but that's not all there is to magic cards, to really study something like this, you have to create a whole magic system where everyone understands how it works." ”
"Now of course it's just an attempt," Ricardo admits, "and it's not principled, there's no innovation, there's not even a theoretical idea." But I think it's the kind of situation that is worth the challenge. ”
"Of course, it's worth the challenge," Flitwick asked solemnly, changing his face, "but it's probably a bit of a, at least, when you meet a master like Dumbledore, they don't care how many cards you have." ”
"Not necessarily," Ricciardo shook his hand, "if I had prepared the magic cards in advance, I would have taken the opportunity by surprise." ”
"It's better to be prepared, at least than nothing."
"Again," Flitwick stood up and patted Ricciardo on the shoulder (Ricardo was sitting), "I'll join you, I'll give it a try in a few days, I'm more curious than yours?" ”
