Chapter 40: The Three Ancient Magics

After breakfast, Muen didn't rush to get Harry to work, but instead asked, "How did I think about the book I gave you earlier?" ”

The books were given to Harry in August of last year. It's July now, and it stands to reason that I've read almost all of those books.

From time to time, Harry would hold a book and ask him for some points, so Munn wasn't very worried about the kid's attitude towards reading.

It's just a little unclear about the process.

Harry said, "I've read it all." ”

Mu En nodded: "Do you remember what I said to you on the street when you first started school last year?" ”

Harry nodded, he would never forget that day.

It was also from that day that Dudley never bullied him again.

"At that time, you said that my next step should be brain development, but because of that, I changed to physical exercise." Harry said, and then his eyes lit up and he said with a little excitement, "Uncle Muen, can I start the next step of training?!" ”

"That's right." Mu En nodded: "You also have enough foundation in modern magic, so now, I will teach you a spell that can last through the life of a wizard!" ”

Afterwards, Munn didn't rush to tell Harry what the spell was, and instead asked, "What path did each of the three ancient magic systems take?" ”

Harry tapped his finger on his forehead, sorted out his words, and slowly spoke: "The three ancient magic systems are ancient Greek magic, ancient Egyptian magic, and Germanic magic. ”

Harry tapped his head, his tone steady, unhurried: "Ancient Greek magic was the first magic system to break away from primitive sacrifices.

Because of institutional reasons, a large number of spell casters began to think about the laws of nature, the nature of heaven and earth, and the human heart. At the same time, there are also spellcasters who try to find a breakthrough in ancient mathematics.

After hundreds of years of development, ancient Greek magic has developed a method of casting spells dominated by [abstract logic].

This path has extremely high requirements for the brain's computing power and spell-casting logic, and is characterized by calculation, logical construction, and spatial geometry.

Its best disciplines are spelling and alchemy.

But alas, with Pope John XXII decreed a ban on alchemy. A large number of ancient Greek alchemical achievements were stolen and integrated into the Book of Abraham.

The book is now in the possession of Nick Lemay. And he also used this book to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and lived for more than 700 years, and even had a great relationship with Dumbledore. ”

Mu En nodded, what he majored in was the ancient Greek system. Including the Sword of Triton, which he obtained from the Caribbean, and Poseidon's Trident, is also derived from this.

That's why he was overjoyed to get Thales' manuscript from Bogin.

"Go on." Mu En said with a wave of his hand.

Harry nodded, "Ancient Egyptian magic, because of the unique cult of death in the culture and the repressive slavery system. It became the best place for the dark arts.

[Concrete desire] is the path of ancient Egyptian magic. The wizard completes the spell by imagining the effect of the spell he wants to achieve.

This path emphasizes high mental power as well as extreme desires.

The most outstanding of them are the dark arts and the Transfiguration that has been explored with the lives of slaves. For example, the ancient transfiguration technique - animal creation! ”

With that, Harry looked at Muen and waited for an addition. He didn't know if there was anything wrong with his words.

"And curses, which were also the most popular magic genre in ancient Egypt." Muen says:

"The development of the curse came from the fact that the ancient Egyptians did not want their sleep to be disturbed. The pharaohs, in particular, would place a vicious curse in their pyramids.

Of course, the wizarding world is cracking it now. After all, who doesn't want to have access to the vast collection of texts and dark magic funerary objects stored in the pyramids. ”

As he spoke, Muen took out a huge wand from his left arm. Rubbing the crow's skull at the end of the staff.

"This old fellow is a powerful wand from ancient Egypt."

Goosebumps rose all over Harry's body as he heard this, he had never known this wand came from like this.

This is... Gouged out of the grave?!

Munn apparently guessed what Harry was thinking, and gave a smile that you didn't know, then pointed his wand at Harry, and said:

"150% of the effectiveness of regular spells, double the effectiveness of desire spells, and double the effectiveness of evil thoughts spells."

After saying that, Mu En shook his head and sighed, "If Voldemort saw my staff, I'm afraid he would fly with joy."

Even if you can touch him, it's all smoke on the Slytherin tombstone. ”

Harry listened in disbelief, "This wand... It's true... Is it so powerful?! ”

"Of course!"

Harry's head was tapped lightly with a wand.

"But remember, whether it's a wand, or a ring. Always a vassal of wizards, we can certainly pursue more powerful spellcasters, magical equipment, and even powerful potions. Mu En said solemnly:

"But what a wizard can really stand on is always this!"

As he spoke, he nodded.

"I know." Harry rubbed his head and nodded hurriedly.

Mu En stood up and waved his hand: "Come with me." ”

"Uncle Muen, Germanic magicβ€”" Harry said, standing up.

"No, your first two questions are quite coherent.

As for Germanic magic, it relies on the Runeven and the spell system born from the frequent wars in the Germanic region for a long time.

Enchanted swords, armor, and various war buffs, as well as potions and herbs, are the most powerful. ”

Harry nodded, then thought for a moment before suddenly saying, "And the study of magical beasts!!"

In the beginning, the study of magical beasts was derived from Potions and then became a separate subject! ”

Mu En was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Harry to actually add it to himself.

He wasn't wrong about his hard-mouthed temperament, and said with satisfaction: "You kid, I forgot about magical beasts, but you reminded me." ”

Harry smiled and followed Muen into the study.

"I've learned a lot, so in the future, I won't teach you too much that is unique to me." Mu En said.

When Harry heard this, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed: "That... I... Ahh

"I don't need you to be me, and you shouldn't be me." Mu En didn't care what Harry was thinking, and said to himself.

"Modern magic here is a bit extreme, with great pros and cons, but from a learning point of view, it's really suitable.

So until you build your own modern magic system, I won't teach you additional spells, which will do you no good. ”

Only then did Harry understand what Uncle Muen was trying to express, and he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded one after another: "I will try." ”

Mu En nodded: "Of course, except for this spell I want to teach you next." ”

When Harry heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

It was hailed by Uncle Muen as a spell that "runs through the life of a wizard".
