Chapter 8 Self-strength is really strong

Ted let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Can you tell me about Neville Longbottom, the boy who didn't die?" You know, I used to live in a Muggle orphanage, and I only heard about him recently. ”

"Oh~" Old Tom shrugged his eyebrows, "That's right! The savior, the boy who never died, thanks to him. Otherwise, I don't know what it would be like yet. ”

"He survived that catastrophe and defeated the mystery man in an unknown way. After all, he was only a year old at the time......"

"I heard that he didn't show how good he was, even a little, a little...... Not satisfactory. So some wizards think he's just a fluke......"

"But anyway, because of his mysteries he fell. We can sit here and talk about these things, instead of being shrouded in darkness and dreading all day long. We should all thank him. ”

Back in his utility room, Ted didn't continue studying spells, but picked up a second-hand History of Magic that he had never opened.

The previous owner of this second-hand book may not have been a good child, and many of the characters on it were painted with graffiti such as beards.

But it is not cheap after all, and does not affect the use.

Ted flipped straight to 1970, starting with Voldemort leading the Death Eaters to openly confront the Ministry of Magic.

Because I don't know what happened in the original book in the past ten years, I don't know if there have been any changes.

But in 1981, things were different.

The book records that Voldemort seized the opportunity to raid the safe house of the Auror elite Longbottom, and the Longbottom couple had a chance to escape, but they finally chose to fight to their deaths because they wanted to protect their children.

Then Voldemort had an accident when he was about to kill Neville Longbottom, and as a result, he left Neville with an "S" scar on his forehead and "died"!

And after Voldemort "hung up", the world soon had a second celestial star convergence.

If the first confluence of the stars is mainly due to the great influence of the stars and climate, as well as many other worlds and even plants, animals, and monsters.

The second Celestial Star Convergence brought about an otherworldly intelligent race.

Elves, dwarves, gnomes, and subhumans are currently recognized as "humans" and accepted by the wizarding world.

And what fishmen, kobolds, goblins, bear goblins...... It is considered a humanoid monster.

Although they have their own rudimentary civilization and their own language, they have a brutal temperament and are ugly......

It seems that the world should be renamed Neville Longbottom!

Voldemort chose Neville as his archenemy, and the Savior was replaced.

The two celestial star conjunctions have caused the world to be filled with many unknown magical creatures, and I don't know how much impact it will have.

My biggest advantage of being familiar with the plot is gone.

"Alas~ Okay!" Ted puts down the grinding History of Magic.

Not to be alive anyway?

Regardless of whether it's Neville or Harry, don't they all have to learn magic to become stronger?

I still have a golden finger, what are you afraid of?

It's not abuse......

He reopened The Theory of Magic.

The author of this book is Adebay Wolflin, a British wizard who studied the theory of magic and is believed to have written "all magic". Wolflin is more or less regarded as the "father of magic theory", as every modern wizard has read his work.

Woflin summarized the basic rules of magic and wrote The Theory of Magic, a book that is still used today as a textbook for young wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This is the character who has been shown the Wizard card in the Chocolate Frog candy.

Ted started reading the book after learning a few simple spells.

After all, this is the basics, and some explanations are given about what magic is, what spells do, and so on.

If you want to make a difference in magic, these basic theories will have to be learned sooner or later. It even needs to be explored in depth.

I don't know why, but it's not impossible to just use magic.

But in that case, you can only be a powerful elite Auror in the end, and it is impossible to become a magical grandmaster like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort.

According to the book, which has been accepted by the wizarding public, magic is formed by wizards manipulating magic with their own minds.

The final effect of the spell is highly dependent on the caster's own wishes.

And the movements of spells and wands are only auxiliary means of casting magic.

After all, the little wizards don't have wands or spells when they are in a magical riot, but they can directly cause magical effects.

It's just that the primitive way is too uncontrollable, and it is extremely difficult, even dangerous, for most wizards.

That's why wizards came up with spells and wands 2,000 years ago. In order to "standardize" the magic, reduce the difficulty of casting spells, and learn a few more spells.

At that time BC, every wizard had a limited amount of magic. It depends on talent.

For example, a kind-hearted and compassionate wizard may only have a few healing spells. There is no combat effectiveness in fighting.

Another example is some witches who have grown up in the countryside since childhood, they may be best at making potions, and the others can use black cats and crows as eyeliners or something. It's the same as fighting, and it's not combative.

There are those who are only good at transfiguration, and there are those who are only good at long-range curses...... Otherwise, the witch hunt would not be so effective.

All in all, it's a lot of progress.

Ted picks up another book he borrowed from the bookstore, Control Your Magic – A Must Read for Little Wizards.

This was meant to teach the young wizards how to control their magic to avoid a huge riot.

Although the content is simple, it is especially suitable for novice young wizards to learn.

In addition to this, Ted also has a copy of "The Power of Will" in his hand.

This is the advantage of working in a bookstore, that is, you can prostitute books for nothing~

In the depths of the warehouse of the Blotted Bookstore, there are many books that have been backlogged over the years, all of which are leftovers that were not sold out that year, and some that no one has bought.

Ted even found a copy of The Invisible Monster's Invisible Book.

It is said that the bookstore bought a few copies that year, but because they couldn't be found in a blink of an eye, they never sold.

These are all free treasures, and Ted has detailed reading notes......

If he had this momentum back then, Ted would have graduated from Tsinghua University a long time ago.

Now, in the skill bar of his character interface, there is another skill: Spell Lv1.

It seems that he is also a beginner when it comes to spells.

He can also see that no matter how the world changes, his own strength is fundamental.

Respond to all changes with the same!

……

The next day, Ted went to the pharmacy to process the herbs.

Now he can handle more than a dozen kinds of herbs, which can be described as rapid progress.

It's all up to him, but Ted writes down every word of Mr. Giggs about potions materials in his notebook, and reviews them in the evening.

Basically, Mr. Giggs doesn't have to say it a second time.

Now Giggs also feels the benefit of having a reliable "child labor" in the store, which really reduces most of the tedious, repetitive, value-added work that has to deal with low-level materials.

Giggs went to stock up and came back with a backpack. It was evident that the Traceless Stretching Spell had been cast inside, and he took out five times the size of his backpack.

"What are these herbs?" Ted asked.

"Hey, hey! These things are not easy to get! All of them are new varieties that appear after the confluence of the stars and the stars. These are all ...... that have been proven to have medicinal value after a long period of experimentation."

"Look at this ......," Giggs began to show off, "Look at this " he picked up a plain white flower, "It's called the Tranquility Flower, and it can be used to make healing potions." ”

Ted was stunned, the name was a little familiar.

Giggs continued: "Unlike Bai Xian, the healing agent can also effectively treat many internal injuries, which cannot be replaced by Bai Xian. ”

"And this, silverleaf grass, this root grass...... They are all herbs that appear after the confluence of the stars and the stars. ”

"As for this~" Giggs took out a large glass jar, filled with liquid, and something that looked like a pig's brain floated in it.

"This is the brain of a water ghost, the brain of a water ghost. Water ghosts are also monsters that appear after the confluence of the stars. If you go to the water's edge in the future, you have to be careful, this thing is very dangerous! ”

Tranquility flowers? Silver Leaf Grass? Ground grass?

Isn't this a World of Warcraft herb? Azeroth is connected to the world?

And the Burning Legion?!

As for the water ghosts, Ted at first thought they were the legendary water monkeys!

As a result, the water ghost brain remembered, isn't this the monster material in "The Witcher 3" or the world of witchers?

What is the intersection of the stars and the stars?

Although today Ted has gained a lot of experience by learning new herbs and potions materials. But he couldn't be happier.

There is no Well of Eternity in this world, so it shouldn't be taken into account by the Burning Legion, right?
