Ever since that day of snooping on the memories of the Sorting Hat, Ricardo had locked himself in his office and not left the house for three days.

Salazar finished the long passage, and a little on his forehead, entered a sealed memory.

It wasn't difficult to break the seal, and as he read that Nicol Lemay book, memories would naturally melt into his mind.

He had already learned the content of soul magic, from the direction of spells.

Soul magic, as the name suggests, is a spell that studies the soul. The word soul, in the eyes of Muggles, is a religious term for consciousness, but in the eyes of ancient wizards, the soul is another carrier of consciousness in addition to the body.

The world is materialistic and idealistic, and the consciousness of highly intelligent life therefore has two kinds of bearers, manifested as the physical body in the material aspect and the soul body (soul) in the spiritual aspect.

Of course, the degree of idealism is slightly weaker, and if the soul does not have the bonds of the body, it will either have to go to the "underworld" or dissipate in place.

Consciousness, soul, and body, the three beings constitute life, and in the form of a trinity, the highly intelligent species of human beings is formed.

And magic is this...... It's a bit cross-border, it requires the inheritance of blood in the body to activate the connection between consciousness and nature - note, it is activation, and it also needs the spiritual power in the soul to drive the magic (or magic lines) in the air.

Soul magic, on the other hand, is a bit of an anti-object: it uses magic to drive the soul, and then cultivates or destroys the soul.

Although it may seem terrifying, it is generally believed that the soul and consciousness are far more closely connected than the body and consciousness. But in reality, it's just like that, mental attacks and fists are pretty much the same, except that wizards and Muggles study the body more deeply, and the soul is more mysterious.

The existence of the soul is generally invisible to Muggles, and it dissipates much faster than the physical body. The reason why Hogwarts can accommodate so many souls together is also because of the mysterious alchemy circle in the castle.

"So, the role of the circle ...... Is it to protect souls that don't want to 'pass away' and prevent sorcerers from apparitions inside? Ricardo whispered.

It's true...... Only so much?

He didn't think so.

But now he didn't bother to think about it so much, the most important thing now was to learn soul magic.

He learned the spells, but they were all about the dark arts.

Dark Magic: Killing Techniques Descending from Soul Magic is a book that talks about how to control dark magic with soul magic, in which soul magic involves a lot, but most of it is related to dark magic.

Magic is closely related to will, and nature is inseparable from emotions. The main body of the dark magic takes out the soul magic of the existence of killing emotions, and adds a little ordinary magic to disguise it.

For example, Avada Suo, this spell is to directly hit the soul of the wizard, and then instantly corrode the soul like a corpse powder on the body - but it is only corrosion, the soul is almost impossible to kill, but the soul will be very weak after reaching the "underworld".

Another example is the Piercing of the Heart, which may seem like a magic that hurts the flesh, but in reality, it is a spell that tortures the soul. That extreme pain involves the soul, and the damage to the skin is caused by the magic hitting that place.

Not to mention the out-of-body soul, which is hypnotic consciousness, and then control the soul to do things, the reason why people can resist is the awakening of self-consciousness.

Ricardo finally found a feeling this time: he happened to have strong spiritual power, and the black magic was taught by the Dark Lord himself, so learning soul magic from this aspect was naturally like a fish in water.

Although the performance of this generation of Dark Lords is a little worse, the level of strength is there, otherwise Dumbledore will definitely come out to refute the rumors - the previous generation of this name is...... Ahem, everyone who understands understands, Zhang Fei will also be angry when he sees anyone other than Brother Guan using the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, unless that person is worthy.

In just a few days of study, he had mastered a lot of content about soul magic, especially the interface between black magic and soul magic.

He was already able to project his soul and move a little near his body, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the book given by Nicol Lemay could be used to feel the words in it, so he would project his soul out and read the book every night.

……

As the days passed, Ricardo worked harder, except for the time he was in the office, where the house-elves brought him food until he was hungry.

He's a little stunned by his learning. But he was content with such a pursuit.

He used to do the same at Beauxbatons, where the discrimination was even worse, and he faced countless threats of bullying at school when he was a pure-blood, cultivating party henchmen and ostracizing dissidents. But they didn't dare to make trouble in the library openly, so he almost lived in the library, reading and studying every day, forcing himself to improve in the Silent Alley, and finally punched and beat almost all the seniors in Beauxbatons.

However, many people feel that he is a bit enchanted by this.

Even when Dumbledore touched him, he couldn't help but stare at him for a long time, and finally came a sentence:

"Don't get caught up in power, Ricardo Silva."

"Ricardo, you ......" met Flitwick when he went out and stopped, but finally turned into a sigh.

"Alas!"

"You know, man," Ricardo smiled, putting his hand on Flitwick's shoulder, "There's an old saying in the Celestial Empire, 'If you hear the way, you can die at night', and I love this kind of study. ”

He genuinely likes such a fulfilling life, like going back to his youngest days.

He is now teaching first, third, and fifth grades, and the teaching task is relatively heavy, but it is not a very tedious thing to deal with the fifth grade with the same set last year, and then take the third grade to study magical beasts and read the textbook with the first grade.

Compared to Lockhart next door, he didn't roll over anymore - the spicy man released a bunch of Cornish elves in second grade, and then let them catch them.

It's a mess, and the elves are flying around like rockets. Two of them grabbed Neville Longbottom by the ears and picked him up. A few others rushed out of the window and scattered broken glass in the back row of the classroom. The rest wreak havoc in the classroom, more powerful than a rampaging rhinoceros. They grabbed inkwells and threw them at the class, tore books and paper to shreds, tore pictures from the walls, turned waste bins upside down, and threw bags and textbooks out of broken windows.

"Come on, get them together, get them together, they're just pixies...... Lockhart shouted. He rolled up his sleeves, waved his wand and shouted, "Peschipixipassnomy!" ”

To no avail, an elf grabbed Lockhart's wand and threw it out the window. Lockhart gasped and slid under the lectern table, nearly being smashed by Neville as the chandelier fell off almost instantly.

"Enough! Thunder! ”

In the end, it was Kassandra who was very powerful, and several lightning bolts slashed down, instantly beating the elves who were used as props to numb their whole bodies, and many of them died as a result.

Compared to this guy, Ricardo, who was just a little slacking off, didn't seem too good. His name as the Demon King last year has been diluted a lot.

There should still be a little soul left in Arvada's life...... I think so.

I have to say that it's still too brain-wrenching to make up theoretical things......
