Chapter 456: Follow-up Plan
The next morning, Char slowly woke up from his sleep, and outside the window was the torrential rain that was still ongoing, leaving many water droplets on the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Next to the pillow was the sleeping Alicia, Char did not disturb Alicia, but went to another room to take a shower, changed clothes, and came to the tavern, he cleaned the tavern a little, and tidied up the wine cabinet.
Then I changed the sign at the entrance of the tavern that was closed to open.
However, even if Char changed the door number to open, the door of the store was still crowded.
However, Char didn't mean to receive guests, but sat in the corner of the tavern where he often sits, and took out a book called "Dragon Illustrated Book" to look through.
There are not only words in the book, but also pictures drawn by the author, so it looks interesting.
This book was also found by Char in the library of Hades.
From the source of the books in the Hades Library, we can know the final fate of this author.
Listen to Thanatos say that the author of this book is an elven scholar who once spent more than sixty years alone in the Dragon Realm, but eventually died at the hands of Basium.
If it weren't for Hades' inclusion of this book, perhaps his sixty years of hard work would have been in vain.
Char raised his hand, and the Holy Grail appeared in his hand, and the glass also contained the wine he had just poured. At some point, a fruit bowl appeared on the table, and there were many kinds of fruits in it.
The warm sunlight shone through the window and just shone on the seat across from him, and the light generated by the Tyndall effect seemed to light up every dust, which was peaceful and comfortable.
This is actually Char's daily life.
However, if there is no appointment, Char will usually lie in bed for a while, and eat takeout outside until noon. Beichen's takeaway service was available in the Song Dynasty.
In the afternoon, I read a book in the courtyard with Alicia, and the sound of the rain or the cool wind was in my ears. Or, the sun shines on the turf not far away, and the green and gold reflect each other.
After reading a book, he would do some crafts with Alicia, or do some gardening, such as the courtyard where he stayed with Hercules for tea.
Or when the sun sets, Char sits on the beach with a guitar and listens to the tide singing, or teasing and teasing the cat.
And in the evening, I will make a delicious meal, or call three or two friends, or just myself and Alicia, drink and chat until late before falling asleep, without worrying about the next day's work.
Char felt that his current life should be something he had never imagined before he was twenty-eight years old, and his sense of belonging to this world was far stronger than that of his own in another world.
But because of this, he really has to get serious about doing something.
There are still twenty years before the collapse of the Dragon's Lair Seal, which is not short, but it is not too long, and it needs to be well planned.
In this way, Char drank wine and looked at the Dragon Clan Illustrated Book in front of him, and time passed minute by minute.
As the sun hung high in the sky, the doorbell rang crisply.
The old magician named Alik, whom Char had met in a hurry yesterday, walked in, but the difference was that he brought in a couple, and the couple was holding a child of one or two years old.
The couple were Alex's son Charles and daughter-in-law Marlene, his son was very young, looking to be in his twenties, but very similar to Alex, with three-dimensional facial features and obvious Germanic characteristics.
Marlene, on the other hand, appears to be of divine descent and has black hair, which is also reserved for her son.
This Charles should have never seen this tavern, he looked around curiously, "Is this the legendary Merlin Tavern?" ”
"I used to come here a lot when I was younger, and there was an entrance to this tavern in Hogwarts." Alik said.
He pointed to a spot near the door, "If I hadn't gone back during the holidays, I'd sit with the rest of my classmates who had stayed on campus, order a butterbeer and sit all morning." ”
Charles's wife, Marlene, was a Muggle, and she had never been in contact with the wizarding world before she met Charles, so she also lacked knowledge of Merlin, and only asked curiously.
"Is there really a way for this Merlin to make Adam use magic?"
Adam was the name of the child she was holding.
"If even Merlin can't solve this problem in this world, then no one can." Alik said in a deep voice.
"Is he so good?" Marlene raised her eyebrows.
"It's not a question of whether it's strong or not." Charles took over from Alik and said, "He is the source of all laws, the upper limit of the demon path. There are even some magicians who believe that he is the incarnation of a saint who walks on earth. ”
"What do you mean?" Marlene didn't quite understand.
"Did Jesus hear of it?" Charles said.
Marlene's eyes widened slightly.
"The Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Father, the Trinity. God cannot directly enter the world and needs an incarnation to preach on earth, so Jesus appeared, and He is the Son and also the incarnation of God. Charles whispered, "And what Merlin did was very similar to what Jesus did, and he was also teaching the truth." ”
Marlene is a devout Christian, so after hearing Charles's description, she finally intuitively felt what kind of existence Merlin was in their mouths.
"So, the next thing we're going to see is a saint?" Marlene said in disbelief.
"It's just rumors, but I think it's about the same with his status in the wizarding world." Charles said.
Alik looked around and sighed in a low voice, "No one has seen Merlin since Merlin appeared in that Dark Lord's turbulent era. It is a great calamity that we can come here, and we will be blessed if we don't die. ”
Alex's eyes searched around to find Merlin's figure, but Char's position was very hidden, and it was difficult to see it when he stood at the door.
However, little Adam, who was led by Marlene, seemed to have discovered something, and directly broke free from Marlene's hand, and trotted to the left side with a not-so-skilled pace.
"Eh, Adam, don't run around!" Marlene shouted.
She hurried after her, followed by Alik and Charles, and then they saw Char, who was sitting in a semi-compartment deep in the tavern reading a book.
The afterglow of the sun outside the window shone on the young man's pure white and shiny medium-length hair, glowing like crystal, and the pure white magic robe was spotless, and the blue rice ear ribbon hung at the front, adding a touch of luxury.
Although the young man didn't do anything, just lowered his head and read a book, there was an inexplicable sense of sacredness in his every move.
He was picking up a piece of cantaloupe with his fork and handing it to Adam, then looked up at Alik.
"Is this your grandson?"
Alec came to his senses. He was obviously a little nervous, if it weren't for Merlin's presence there yesterday, he and some of the people in the Magic Guild would be dead by now.
So there is no doubt that Merlin is his savior. It stands to reason that he shouldn't trouble him anymore, but the love of his parents and his son is far-reaching.
He didn't want his grandson to be like the man who died on that street, and in the end, he didn't even know how he died.
He is a high-ranking member of the Magical Society, and he knows more about the changes in this world.
In such an era, the more self-protection you have, the better.
He had already sought many solutions, and even went to Hogwarts to find Mr. Stark through his grandfather's connections, but there was still no way.
In his cognition, the only thing that can change all this is the existence in front of him.
"Don't be nervous."
As if sensing Alec's embarrassment, he smiled softly.
"Catherine and Haron have done a lot to Hogwarts in their lives. At that time, Hogwarts had just been established, and the rules of management were not standardized enough, so they had to explore it by themselves, and the first version of the student management code was written by them.
Their ability to manage children also makes it much easier to teach in school. ”
Catherine and Haron are the couple Char met in Sleepy Hollow, and they are also Alex's grandfather and grandmother.
Char's meaning is obvious, he has always been a nostalgic person, and there will be some help for the descendants of the deceased.
Perhaps Alec didn't expect the legendary Merlin to choose to help them before he came, because of the two elders who couldn't do magic.
"He is my grandson, Adam." Alik said.
Char quietly shifted her gaze to Adam.
To be honest, the reason why he asked Alik to bring this child over was not only because of Catherine and Haron, but also for some important reasons.
Because of Char or the fate woven by the old man, the magic of this world is in a state of recovery, and the number of magic owners is increasing exponentially.
For the magician families who have bred in the wizarding world for several generations, the magical talents of their descendants will be gradually purified with the inheritance of the bloodline.
If you count from Alex's grandfather, Adam should be considered the fifth generation, even if his mother is a person without magical powers, it is not that he has no magical talent at all.
So Char guessed that it might be another reason.
In fact, it was just as Char had guessed.
There was a clear hint of interest on his face.
"Do you remember what you taught in class, the theory of magic working?"
Alik reacted that this was asking himself, and spoke.
"Magic is made up of single or plural reactions.
When a creator creates a spell, they usually hide the mystery of the magic in a spell or circle.
If the magic of the reaction is likened to a car made up of many parts, the spell is the key, and the magic is gasoline.
If you want to get the car moving, you can't do without either. ”
"Textbook answer." Char bowed.
He focused his gaze on Adam again, "This kid has a very special constitution. Magic is the manifestation of life force, and the magic container on his body is huge, which is a very good talent, but the problem is that his life force can't fill this container. ”
He looked at Marlene, "Is this child often prone to saying that he is hungry, and then he still can't eat fat?" ”
Marlene nodded, "We eat four meals a day, and we are afraid that he will eat badly, so we also control the amount of food." ”
"Eat as much as you can for him." Char said.
If the Mana Container is compared to a blue bar, the strength of the vitality is the recovery speed of the blue bar.
But reality is not a game, and the blue bar in the game can be infinitely restored over time, but the human body cannot. The vitality of the human body needs to be replenished by eating, resting, etc.
"Isn't his physique very weak, and he is sick every now and then?" Char continued to ask.
"That's right." Charles nodded.
Char raised the Holy Grail in front of him and took a sip lightly, "This is the phenomenon of too much life force consumption, and when it is dangerous, it will endanger life and affect life expectancy." ”
As Char told the story, Charles and Marlene's faces began to look ugly.
"But the human body has an instinct for self-preservation." Char's words continued, "When the vitality is consumed to a critical point, the magic power that was originally replenished into the mana container will be converted into life force again.
Of course, this is not the reason why the child is unable to use magic power, the main reason is that the child's life force is consumed too much, resulting in weak mental power, so that he cannot control his magic power. ”
Alik nodded thoughtfully, "I went to Professor Stark, and he said that this kid's mental power is weak and his magic power is very thin, and now I finally understand the reason." ”
"He should have the ability to see it, but he didn't have time." Char said.
"So what are we going to do?" Charles asked.
"Two ways." Char patiently said, "Open source and reduce expenditure." One is to increase the vitality and the other is to reduce the size of the mana container. ”
"The latter is his talent, and it's a shame to shrink it like that, while the former." Char thought for a moment, "There are not so many means to improve vitality in this era. Still."
Char's words paused, and he looked at Alik, his eyes shining with an unknown light.
"There's a magic, would you like to try it?"
Alik and Charles looked at each other, then asked together.
"What magic?"
"A kind of magic that was created in this era, but which is enough to establish itself in the age of the gods." Char took a sip of the wine in the Holy Grail.
"You can transform yourself in the direction of a dragon and use dragon magic. The ultimate goal of its creation is to defeat the dragon.
So, this magic is also called .
Dragon-slaying magic. ”
The number of dragons is too large for Catherine to defeat dragons alone, and the number of dragon-slaying mages needs to be increased.
Of course, in order to create a dragon slayer mage, it is impossible to choose a single person, and you still need to find a dragon.
And most of the dragons are in the dragon realm, so it is obviously impractical to let children go in directly to learn dragon slaying magic.
Brunhill said to find an old friend, but there was no news yet.
However, Char did find a dragon, but it wasn't what clairvoyance saw, but something he realized when he was shopping yesterday.
The world's magical system is based on the Harry Potter universe, with Gaward and Dumbledore, although the overall direction is different from the story.
But there is still some "inertia" of fate.
That is, the general direction will move closer to the direction in the story.
Although Voldemort may no longer appear because Hogwarts is so powerful now, Hogwarts will still face a group of powerful enemies - dragons.
If Char can get a savior trio out of this world, they follow the inertia of fate, and these three people will also get some favor from fate.
And the child in front of him, a member of a magical family with a huge amount of magic, a waste who was born without magic, but in fact, he was unable to use magic because of his talent.
As a weaver of fate, Char's opinion is simply a perfect template for the protagonist.
This is actually why Char was willing to meet this child yesterday.
"Dragon-slaying magic." Alik repeated the name carefully, and his heart began to pound.
He had brought Adam here only to find the possibility of him using magic, and he had little hope.
But now it seems that this grandson of his may have been a blessing in disguise.
Dragon-slaying magic
As a high-ranking member of the Magic Association, he is well aware of the fighting power of a dragon.
In the entire wizarding world, there may only be two people who can fight a dragon.
No one has surpassed them so far.
But it's a pity that these two such powerful magicians have never had genes handed down, otherwise their heirs might have become legends.
In the wizarding world, bloodline is a very important thing, so this is not a conjecture, but an inevitable fact.
But now it seems that this grandson of his may become the next legend.
"There's a flaw to this magic, though." "Or rather, there will be a flaw in the future, and that is that the user will most likely become a dragon." Of course, that was a very late-stage situation, and only a truly powerful Dragon Slayer Wizard had this possibility. ”
Alik whispered thoughtfully, "In other words, can this magic even directly change a person's life form and turn a person into a dragon?"
There was a hint of loss in his eyes, "This level of life leap is something that only a god can do."
"There is no end to the path of demons." Char said.
Alik thought for a moment, he looked at Charles, then at Adam, and then asked.
"Can you turn back into a human form?"
Char smiled, "Again, there is no end to the Demon Dao. ”
Alik understood what Char meant, and he made up his mind, "I guess there's nothing to hesitate about, it's the same for every magician.
However, "
Confused, he said, "Where are we going to learn this magic?" ”
"First of all. We've got to find a dragon. Char said quietly, "Let the dragon teach this child its magic." ”
Hearing this, Alik and Charles were stunned, and Marlene on one side continued to ask when they saw that the surroundings were quiet.
"So where do we go to find the dragon?"
"Marlene." Charles couldn't help but stop her, "It's impossible to find." ”
Marlene was stunned for a moment, obviously not coming back to her senses.
"Dragons have long been extinct in this world, and even if they are found, it is impossible to convince an arrogant dragon to teach magic." Alik said with a solemn face.
Charles on one side said, "Hogwarts seems to have two dragons." ”
"It's better to be a dragon in the prime of life." Char said.
Charles smiled wryly and said, "That's nowhere to be found." ”
"I know where a dragon is." Char said.
Hearing this, Alik and Charles couldn't help but look at him.
And Char slowly turned his head to look out the window, at this moment, the sky above the imperial capital that was originally clear began to be cloudy, faintly raining, and after a while, the raindrops of beans fell from the sky, and the sound of rain came and went.
"The geographical location of the imperial capital is not in a place affected by the Atlantic current, and it is even less likely to be affected by the Pacific Ocean. But don't you think that the rain in the imperial capital is a bit abnormally much? ”
Charles and Alik glanced at each other, and Alik seemed to have something in mind, "I've indeed heard that there are some powerful dragons, and just staying in one place is enough to cause a change in the weather. ”
"But the rain in the imperial capital has a history of hundreds of years." Charles said.
"Is it strange for a dragon to live for hundreds of years?" Char teased.
Charles was suddenly startled, and cold sweat gradually wet his collar, "You mean, this dragon has been sleeping here since the establishment of the imperial capital?" ”
Char didn't say anything, just took a sip of the wine in the chalice with a smile on his face.
Looking at this smile, Alik confirmed the guess in his heart, and he lost his mind and sighed.
"I didn't expect that such a big thunder was buried near the imperial capital, and the people of the entire Magic Association didn't even notice it."
"There are more than five million people in the imperial capital." Charles said solemnly.
"Not all dragons have a strong desire to destroy." "But that's why they have the possibility of teaching humans." ”
"But how do you convince this dragon to teach this kid magic?" Alik said.
"It's easy." Char's face showed a kind smile, "Just go with sincerity." (End of chapter)
