Chapter 122: The Age of the End of Law
Maple's gift to Hermione was an amulet, but it wasn't made by Maple herself.
Compared to the few defensive techniques in the magic world that only resist the opponent's evil spells, such as the Iron Armor Curse Guardian Spirit, Maoshan's various Dao techniques to defend against evil spells are varied, even if Uncle Jiu's Maoshan Dao Technique has lost too many secret books compared to the heyday of Taoism.
Combat is the best catalyst for the progress of spells and magic, and the reason why the Celestial Empire's Dao means are so rich is not only because of the profound heritage of thousands of years of history, but also because of the never-ending war of Dao and Demon.
During World War II, in addition to the extremely tragic battlefield of the Muggles, the scale of the battle that was unknown to the secular people also participated in by the Japanese spirit world without a bottom line, was also heavy casualties.
The onmyoji of the island country cooperated with the secular government, and when the inhumane Japanese Muggle army caused the Nanjing Massacre and other great killings, the Japanese onmyoji also set up a formation to use the boundless resentment generated by the killing to create terrifying evil spirits and evil creatures to join the battle.
In order to achieve victory, the Onmyoji of the Action Island Country also cooperates with the demons of the Hyakki Night Walker sealed in their own country.
In the end, although the victory was difficult and difficult, the Japanese onmyoji threatened by destroying the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Seal, so that the two families of the Heavenly Dynasty and the Buddha did not dare to go to the island country to destroy the demons.
And because of the fierceness of the battle, the vitality of the Taoist and Shakti Zen Buddhism was greatly damaged, so that the Tantra sect, which dominated the plateau and had almost no losses, was able to sit on an equal footing with Zen Buddhism after the war. In addition, because of the special spirit environment around many severed dragon veins in the Celestial Empire, there are still many evil demons and monsters in the Celestial Empire after the war, such as the Xiangxi Corpse King who has been sealed but has not been killed.
Compared with the battle between the Celestial Empire and the island nation, which is comparable to the war of the spirit world, the panic caused by Grindelwald and Voldemort in Europe is insignificant.
In the fight to the death, in order to survive, in order to protect the justice in your heart, the righteous path will always exist, and all kinds of genius ideas emerge in endlessly. Although the uncontrollable end of the law era made the power of Dao art continue to decline, the type and degree of sophistication of Dao art have been greatly improved in that great battle like a hundred schools of thought.
Maple was lucky, he got the complete memory of Uncle Nine directly through the system. At a time when the spiritual power is getting thinner and thinner, and the magic power is getting stronger and stronger, it takes a disciple with extremely high talent to go against fate and pass on the Heavenly Dao Sect of the Ninth Uncle. But it's a pity that after Uncle Jiu, there is no successor to this Dao technique.
After more than ten years, only a few people in the city who have left the remnants of Dao art that have been left behind by the past few generations will be able to get some true Dao art inheritance, and the others will almost have been lost.
Nowadays, magic is the mainstream.
Magic focuses on spiritual power, and the reason why spiritual power has almost disappeared may not be that the power generated by the earth as a whole is decreasing, but that in the heyday of spiritual cultivation, there are too many beings in the Three Realms who cultivate, and the cultivation of spiritual arts will greatly extend the life span of people.
Coupled with the artificial cutting off of the dragon veins, the aura is even more scarce.
All beings in the Three Realms, even people and things that have not cultivated, as long as they are beings, will have the power of the Origin of God, and the power of human beings is more focused on the soul, and the power of plants and animals is more important than the body.
After man became the master of the earth, the proportion of energy occupied by humans became heavier and heavier, and the proportion of plants became less and less.
Plants are creatures that can provide spiritual power, and they are able to convert other energy into spiritual power, while humans, on the contrary, are large consumers of spiritual power.
More and more people are born, and more and more human beings are dying, and while the output of spiritual power is gradually depleted, the souls of ordinary human beings who consume spiritual power are more and more mixed into the natural world, changing the structure of energy in nature.
As the population continues to explode, this change will only deepen further, except for the mountains connected to the leylines, the spiritual power in other places will only become thinner, but the magic power will become more and more intense, especially in densely populated areas.
Although the cultivation system of spiritual power is gradually collapsing, the core principles of Dao art and various spells are not completely useless.
Different organs of human beings have different structures and different functions, but the basic cellular structure is the same. The two different power systems of magic power and spiritual power have the same origin, and at the microscopic level, they also have some commonalities.
The amulet that Maple gave to Hermione was not a paper talisman, but an alchemy work. Maple made a copy of the patterns of the charms used in the Maoshan Dao to Mr. Nicolamay, asking him to use these talismans for Hermione in her alchemy works, and to make a talisman for Hermione that could resist Pandora's curse.
Maple was still struggling to ask him for help in terms of what to pay Nicolamet, but he didn't expect that after practicing with Nicolame, he realized that he didn't need anything, just these Dao runes.
These spells can be used more directly in alchemy than spells, and alchemy can use these runes more effectively than spells.
Maple sent all the patterns of the spells in Uncle Nine's memory bank, including the original and the magically modified patterns, to Nicolamay.
Nicolame also wrote back to Maple thanking him for the things he had sent, adding a lot of fun to his dull life, and that it was the best Christmas gift he had ever received.
With the start of the Christmas holidays, business is booming again. After the apprentices also graduated, the production speed of the Tess wand was greatly improved, and Ollivander only needed to be responsible for the high-level and VIP wands, and the remaining mid-level and low-level wand apprentices could already complete it independently.
When it came to the holidays, it was not possible to cast spells with a real wand, and this kind of Tess wand, which did not trigger a trace reaction, was immediately warmly welcomed by the students. Ollivander, who was still preparing to update the Wand of Tes, dismissed this idea at this time.
Upgrading their wands will take a new time for the apprentices to get used to.
It's strange that when you are in school, you can cast magic at any time, and students rarely practice outside of class.
On the contrary, when it was time for the holidays, after leaving the school and not being able to cast spells, they were itching, and after getting the Tess wand, they practiced magic non-stop for most of the day, and some only played with a wand in just a few days.
This also made the business of the Ollivanders store even more popular, and the number of mid-to-low-grade Tess wands, which was several times more than the original, was still sold out.
The mid-level and low-level wands are not busy upgrading for the time being, and the high-level ones are not upgraded, but the VIP Ollivanders has chosen to update.
After he was free, Ollivanders also had more time to build wands, and the number of high-end and VIP wands sold per week was no longer limited, but the VIP ones only accepted orders, not sold directly, and Ollivanders began to make them after the customers made reservations.
After Hermione received Maple's Christmas present, she happily wore it directly around her neck, and the Christmas gift she gave Maple was a card, the style of the card was the same as the card in the chocolate frog, except that the characters on the card were Hermione and Maple.
The characters on the card are naturally moving, and after Maple uses his wand, he and Hermione on the card let out a crisp laugh.
Unlike Maple's Living Spell, which lasted only as long as Maple's magic lasted, Hermione gave Maple her completed alchemy. As long as the alchemical script is not destroyed, the magic of this card can last for ten years or more.
"Your alchemy has reached this point?" Maple never expected that Hermione had already completed an alchemy work while he was still in the groping stage of alchemy.
"Merry Christmas, Mary! Help me get in touch with Mr. Nicola May! Maple said Merry Christmas to Mary and asked her to help contact Nicolame.
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Nicolamay!"
"Merry Christmas, Maple, what do you have to do with me?" Nicola May said kindly.
"That's right, Professor," Maple then told Nicolame about Hermione's alchemy work, and showed him Hermione's card in a stereoscopic projection.
"Great, Miss Granger, you really surprised me, your talent for alchemy is beyond my imagination, you are better than I was back then. Trust me, you will be able to achieve extraordinary things in alchemy in the future! "Nicolame is full of praise for Hermione, Hermione's card is not worth mentioning to Nicolame today, but at Hermione's age, it is very remarkable.
Crafting magical items with alchemy requires knowledge of ancient magical scripts, and it is clear that Hermione is far more gifted in this language than Maple, and learning this language cannot be borrowed from Ravenclaw's parchment.
Seeing the legendary Nicolame undoubtedly made Hermione very excited, and her voice trembled with excessive excitement, and Hermione's face turned red with shame when she heard Nicolame's praise for her.
What Maple didn't expect was that Nicola May actually made another contact watch because of Hermione's excellence. Originally, Nicolamet only thought of it as a fun gadget between Maple and his peers, and Maple contacted Nicolame several times through Mary.
But in order to keep in touch with Hermione in the future, Nicolamay personally taught Hermione, and even directly made a contact watch for his own use, which made Maple feel a little sour.
He didn't notice that beside him, there was another poor worm. When Nicola May communicated with them, the famous Harry Potter was directly regarded as a little transparent, with no sense of existence at all, which made Harry feel a little lost.
During the exchange, Nicolamay said that he would give Hermione such a contact watch, but Hermione was about to refuse, saying that she already had it, but Maple quickly stopped her.
You don't want to give it to Harry!
