Chapter 152: Departure
It's really fair to say that life is true, the wizards of this world have reached the top and occupied areas with good environments.
The alien races that are harmful to humans are basically driven to inaccessible and hostile areas.
But they have a lifespan that wizards can't match.
Whether it's a vampire or a goblin, or a house-elf who has been completely conquered by wizards.
Their lifespans are several times that of wizards, and those races that live longer than a thousand years are just easy to survive for a thousand years as long as they don't experience any accidents.
If you are a wizard, even if you are the strongest among wizards, you still can't escape the consequences of old age and decay after a hundred and ten years.
The longest-lived wizard in the wizarding world known to Glitter was Barry Winkel, who once published an invitation to his 755th birthday in the Daily Prophet.
However, Mr. Gretel did not comment on the news.
After all, everyone understands the tone of the Daily Prophet, as long as you are willing to spend money, even if you say that you are the king of the world, they dare to publish the news.
Therefore, judging from Gretel alone, he felt that this news was probably a trick on someone.
After all, even Nicol Lemay, who possessed the Philosopher's Stone, only lived to be six hundred and sixty-five years old.
Something like the Philosopher's Stone was the only one in the world in 1991 when Grett came into contact with the wizarding world.
And in June 1992, in the presence of Dumbledore and Nicolame, it was successfully destroyed.
Nicol Lemay, who has fame, wealth and love, has chosen to accept death calmly after more than 600 years of life.
According to insiders, on the day of his death, Nicolame and his wife Perenal dressed themselves very decently.
Ten fingers interlocked, calmly closed his eyes in the sun.
His last words to the world were: I have enjoyed so much, and now I feel that it is time to face the coming of death.
I never evaluate the value of life based on the length of life, death is the only way for everyone, so there is no need to be afraid, there is no need to worry.
Do what you need to do and calmly greet the Grim Reaper, a guest that everyone can't avoid.
Perhaps, the realm of death is not so terrible.
Dumbledore said that Nicolame had lived a long life.
He and his wife have seen the prosperity of the world, and the whole world, whether it is the wizarding world or the Muggle world, the two of them have walked more than once.
The reason why they didn't give up taking the Philosopher's Stone was because they didn't know what to do with it.
Fortunately, Dumbledore came to borrow the Philosopher's Stone to set Voldemort and finally helped him solve a knot.
In a long life, it is difficult to have a passion for life after seeing everything through.
Dumbledore's arrival gave him a reason.
So, after the end of the first year, Dumbledore and Nicolame calmly destroyed this rare treasure.
Human life is precious precisely because it is limited.
Voldemort, who pursued eternal life, could never understand this truth.
In his long quest for eternal life, he has lost his mind and lived forever simply for the sake of eternal life.
So much so that he chose to tear his soul apart and turned himself from an outstanding graduate who was loved by thousands of people into a disgusting appearance.
It's hard to say if he will regret it, such a broken soul doesn't even have the chance to go to the realm of death.
Nicolame is still like this, and Grett doesn't think that Barry Winkel, a man with only a name, really lived for more than 700 years.
If he really had this ability, I believe that Voldemort would not have had to painstakingly plan the Philosopher's Stone in the first place.
After all, compared to Nicol Lemay, a wizard who is famous all over the world, Barry Winkel is really an unknown person.
There is no such thing as a sage in the wizarding world who lives in seclusion and has no reputation, but who has a heart for the world.
At least, such people do not exist in Europe.
——
Gretel left, in a hurry.
The day after little Vera's apprenticeship ceremony, Glitter packed her bags and prepared to go to the Americas to see the terrible hell on earth.
By the way, Fred King, now the brass ring, was saved from the hands of the dark wizard.
He took a lot of things with him, including but not limited to Kunlun's collection of books, materials, and special materials......
He didn't forget to leave something for Kunlun, of course, these things were mainly left for little Vera.
Gretel's original plan was to return to Great Britain, think of himself as a dark wizard, and follow them to the Americas on a gold rush ship.
However, less than a week after Kunlun learned that he had time left, Glitter gave up on this unrealistic idea.
After all, even with the help of a wizard, the whole process was accelerated by the wind called by the magic power, and the gold rush ship could not carry him to the Americas in a week.
Originally, he still wanted to rely on the black magic of the world to feel the rare honeymoon between wizards and Muggles unique to this era.
After all, this history, in the modern period, has not been recorded.
There has never been a time when there has been such a clear distinction between a dark wizard and a white wizard.
White wizards huddle in remote mountainous areas, self-sufficient.
The dark wizards plundered the seas with these fanatics, and they were in the same boat, killing the heads of men.
The white wizards are ashamed to record, and the dark wizards will not choose to leave evidence of their crimes.
In modern times, wizards who know the inside story have long since disappeared into a cloud of dry bones.
This inglorious history is naturally not mentioned by anyone.
Gretel knew about it after Dawn's power swelled.
In order to find traces of magic particles from history, help yourself to conduct research.
Gretel rarely gets the dawn in full swing, collecting all kinds of useful and useless historical records.
Only then did some dusty history be unearthed from some just words.
Although Glitter wanted to feel the 'harmony' between wizards and Muggles, in order to create a new era in the future, balance the relationship between wizards and Muggles, and collect some experience.
But if you think about it carefully, this kind of collusive bandit relationship seems to be really unnecessary.
Whether Muggles or wizards, a harmonious and stable society is a must.
So he won't allow anyone to mess up the world.
It would be fine if he was born in this era, after all, chaos has become the norm here.
Even if he tried to change his hands, he would probably end up looking like a Death Eater or a saint.
The day he became famous, it may be the time when he was forced to take the position.
With the addition of a yellow robe, sometimes it may be really a last resort.
So, it's better to be idle and try to find out where the goblins from the Americas are as soon as possible.
After not rescuing Fred for a day, Gretel's heart couldn't settle down for a moment.
Although little Vera saw the powerful correction ability of the long river of time, Glitter was still inevitably worried that something might happen.
However, although the time is very tight, the preparations that should be made still need to be made.
After obtaining Kunlun's spell system, Glitter slowed down for a short time, studying while hurrying, trying to integrate Kunlun's secret techniques.
Like what shrinks the ground into inches and puts it in the world of Xianxia, this is the top ability that involves space.
But in such a magical world, a simple spell, with the corresponding spell-casting gesture, and the surging magic particles will send the spell caster to a far-flung place.
But fortunately, after years of practice, Gretel's own abilities have long been less dependent on the panel.
Under the situation of being from a high position, it is not difficult for Gretel to practice at all.
If he was really studying in Kunlun at that time, if there was no panel, I am afraid that he would not be able to go out of the mountain for more than ten years.
Kunlun's spells can be said to be completely different from European magic.
Even the most basic power components are the same magic.
But it can't be compared at all.
The concept of magic particles, Gretel saw it through observation and with his own eyes.
But in Kunlun's system, they use their own spirit to sense the existence of the underworld through daily meditation.
After many years of practice, the concept of magic particles was established.
Only then can Kunlun's secret art be successfully cast.
Otherwise, those ordinary Wind Spells, Cleansing Spells, and Heart Cleansing Spells can still be successfully cast by their own magic power.
However, those great cloud and rain spells, such secret techniques as shrinking the ground into inches, if there were no magic particles involved, it would be impossible to successfully cast them.
Glitter had not meditated, nor had he mentally constructed the most basic concept of magical particles.
However, this did not prevent him from fully performing the secret arts.
How can the cognition built up in the mind by induction and imagination be compared to seeing it with one's own eyes.
What's more, he has been running in with magic particles for so long, and the tacit understanding between the two is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In Kunlun's records, a spell like shrinking the ground into inches is impossible to use successfully without three and five years of practice.
No matter how talented a character is, it will take months to get his hands on it.
Glitter was different, the first time he used it, he successfully performed it, and almost hit the mountain.
Fortunately, he integrated himself into the magic particles in time and escaped.
Speaking of which, the spell of shrinking the ground into inches is very similar to phantom shifting, and it is a good way to get on the road quickly.
But without the dizziness that feels like being compressed and thrown into the engine for countless turns.
And because the shrinkage of the ground is mainly based on the response of magic particles in nature, to construct spells.
So the requirements for one's own magic are not so high.
Even if it fails to shrink the ground into inches, at most it will only be a bruised nose and swollen face, and the unlucky point may break tendons and fractures.
However, compared to the consequences of failed apparition, this is not a big deal at all.
In previous years' phantom shifting classes, there were many people who stuck themselves in the wall or cut themselves into several sections.
That is, an orthodox educational institution such as a magic school, the illusion shift class will always be ready with life-saving potions, as well as medical personnel waiting by the side.
Replaced by wizards in the opposition, there are always a few missing every year.
Then, one day in the future, people will find the body tissue of the missing wizard inside a wall, tree trunk, or something.
The danger of transfiguration is so high that every year, Hogwarts hires a professional transfiguration teacher from the Ministry of Magic.
Watching over the students who have applied for the Phantom Shifting Permit Exam.
Teach them the tricks, take them to feel the illusion a few more times, and then summarize the main points.
If you really want to compare them together, the phantom shifter is a bit like a point-to-point teleportation.
In the depths of their hearts, wizards construct the places they want to go, and use magic to form passages.
However, if the wizard is not familiar with the illusion shifter, or if he makes a mistake, something may happen to the landing point.
This in turn leads to danger to yourself.
Shrinking the ground into inches is more like folding the space, folding the place you want to go with your own location in space.
The advantage is that most of the energy that makes up the spell is provided by the magic particles themselves, which ensures that the wizard retains a certain amount of combat power after a long journey to appear where he is going.
It won't be because of the frequent rush, which will cause the mana to run out of power, so that it will be caught off guard.
That's the downside.
Wizards in Europe, after knowing where they want to go, will only provide enough magic to fluctuate within an acceptable range.
As long as there are no mistakes, there are no surprises.
However, shrinking the ground into inches is different.
Only after a long period of meditation can a tacit understanding with magic particles be formed.
Mood swings don't cause magic particles to become overactive, supplying more energy than needed and colliding with other things.
That's what happened to Gretel just now.
Because of the first time he shrunk into inches and hurried, Gretel's thoughts couldn't help but wander.
Then he was dragged by the crazy surge of magic particles.
Naturally, this problem is not difficult to solve.
Like Phantom Transfiguration, practice makes perfect with more use, and then come up with any accidents, it is not something that can be easily seen.
Although the phantom shapeshift is inched with the shrinkage of the ground, it can be said to be a competitive product in terms of function.
But the comfort of shrinking the ground into inches is something that phantom shifting can never match.
There are so many ways to move, and if there is anything that can really be more comfortable than shrinking into inches, it is only the portal that Glitter has not yet fully developed.
These two spells, in terms of comfort, are almost indistinguishable.
But shrinking the ground into inches can only be performed by the wizard himself.
Portals are different, just solidify them.
Whether it's wizards or Muggles, magical alchemy items or ordinary industrial items, they can easily be transferred through portals.
Before that, wizards wanted to deliver anything, either by messenger.
Either that, or the wizards bring their own flesh.
The significance of the portal is not to add a comfortable and convenient way to get around.
It's more about turning the whole world into a state of interconnectedness.
