"How are you doing, man."
After Harry entered the black-silver projection constructed by the black-silver vortex, a young male voice sounded beside Harry.
As soon as Harry turned his head, he saw a boy wearing a Hogwarts uniform sitting cross-legged on the floor. In front of him was an oven with many meat skewers threaded on iron skewers. Although he couldn't smell the fragrance, The sizzling oily look is very tempting.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Setiraris Scrooge, a seventh-year student at Hufflepuff House. I will graduate in two months. This is what I left behind before leaving Hogwarts. Of course, the things I said are not necessarily correct, because I can't find a second person of the same kind who can communicate with me to verify my research and findings, but I hope that the things I left behind can provide future insights. Friends offer some help.”
"The ancient wizards are really far away from us." Seti sighed while flipping the skewers: "I really want to see the once gorgeous and magnificent magical world. In that era, although the magic was not as sophisticated as it is now. , but I know that that era is our era, the era of awakened wizards."
"You should also know what Awakener means, right? Even if no one has explained it to us, we just know it."
"It's wonderful, very wonderful. It's as if this knowledge exists in our minds when we are born, and unfreezes little by little as we grow up. Is this our innate instinct? Or maybe it's just me. Like this? It makes me feel more like a magical creature. They are different from wizards. They don't need to learn magic. They have already learned those magics innately. They just need to wait to grow."
Seti picked out a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth, not afraid of burning his mouth at all.
"In the beginning, I didn't feel that I was any special than other wizards. Before coming to Hogwarts, I studied with a wild wizard. He was my uncle. After my parents abandoned me, he was He picked me up from the trash and raised me, and he told me that I was a wizard, not a monster in the eyes of Muggles."
"Maybe something happened when I was born?" Seti grinned, "It doesn't matter, the magical world is indeed different from the Muggle world. They didn't throw me into a manure pit and drown me, which is considered a kindness to me. Well, I don’t blame them, they died anyway, as if they died of some infectious disease? Anyway, their neighbors said so, when I was ten years old, my uncle took me back to have a look."
"The first time I discovered that I was different was in the second month after I came to Hogwarts. If the Fat Friar has finished telling you my story, you should know that that day I escaped in order to find a ball. The bird entered the forbidden forest, so I saw the group of bastards, the group of poachers, they captured Fike, the beautiful blue ball evader. These bastards were afraid that the ball evader would escape, so they caught Fick. Kill it the first time you get to it, right in front of me.”
"They plucked Fick's feathers, cut open his belly, and skillfully took away all the valuable materials. In their eyes, my little friend is just a golden galleons delivered to their door."
"But what can I do?"
Seti tore into the barbecue, his voice a little unclear, "I only mastered some very basic magic at that time. Although my uncle was a wizard, his magic power was only a little higher than that of a squib, and he couldn't use many magic tricks. My Almost all spells are learned after arriving at Hogwarts."
"Maybe I can use Expelliarmus on them? And then I can fight more than ten of them alone?"
"Well, that's what I did. I almost got mad after what I saw. I rushed forward like a reckless Gryffindor fool. I yelled - Expelliarmus!"
Harry saw Sett draw his gun with lightning speed and pull the trigger forward. Only then did Harry realize that there were several wooden stakes standing in front of Sett's oven, with wizards, both men and women, tied up with ropes on them. Yes, his eyes are full of despair and fear.
The red curse hit one of them, and with a miserable cry, the guy whose teeth and limbs were torn off by the invisible giant hand completely lost all the parts that could be used as weapons, and turned into a fire fighter spouting blood. bolt.
"My magic seems to be different, especially when I want to vent something and make myself feel happy, my magic becomes very strange."
"By the way, you don't have to pity the guys in front of you. They are poachers, thieves, and murderers. None of them are innocent. If you insist on saying that crimes are not punishable by death, then there is nothing I can do. I think such a punishment As long as it's appropriate for them, here, I am the law."
"I wonder if you've discovered something, my friend."
Sett raised his head and looked in the direction of Harry. If Harry hadn't known that this was just a magical projection, he would have thought that this senior who was more than a hundred years older than him was here now.
"Not for us, to be precise, for me, killing is the most effective way to make me stronger. Maybe not just killing, but using the right means to treat the right people will make me The magic power grows and becomes stronger at an unusual speed."
"I haven't figured out what this is all about yet, but I can tell you with certainty that the power of emotions and emotions can not only make spells stronger, but also make guys like us stronger. .”
"During the fifteen years we lived with my uncle, we lived very carefully. He was a wild wizard no better than a squib, and I was a wild child who was taught and raised by a wild wizard. I don't know if you have ever seen The lowest level of the magical world, but I don’t want you to really come into contact with them. Believe me, it is a more disgusting place than a swamp that exudes stench and miasma.”
"Sometimes I even yearn for the Muggle world. They have social relief there. At least they will give you a bite of food that will prevent people from starving to death. You can also work hard to earn enough money to sustain your life."
"But at the bottom of the wizarding world, these are extravagant wishes that will never be seen."
"I have encountered those bastards countless times, but in order to survive, I have to swallow my anger and choose to bow my head. And when I come to Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest, I have a way to punish those bastards with the means I think are appropriate. After that, my mood became smoother, my long-suppressed emotions were released, and my magic power expanded rapidly as I continued to kill those bastards."
"I realized that I was different, and I also understood that I was not a simple wizard. I was an awakener. Like those ancient wizards, I could use powerful magic that was as powerful as the gods."
"Because we are not human in a sense, we are transcendent above human beings - gods."
After Seti finished eating all the barbecue, he picked up a knife and cut pieces of meat on a leg of beef. There was no arrogance about thinking he was a god on his face, but rather a bit of nonchalance.
"This is not to tell you that we are born noble or superior. You'd better not believe a word of that bullshit. Let me tell you a little secret. I accidentally discovered it when I was researching a curse. Those who claim to be noble Pure-blood wizards are actually a bunch of bastards. This is not a curse, just like me calling myself a god. It is a statement, a statement of fact."
"They are hybrids of beasts. The blood of those magical creatures flows in their bodies. They are not pure people, but hybrids that retain their human form. The more noble they claim to be and the longer they have a long history, the more blood they have that belongs to beasts. more."
"One of my girlfriends comes from the Greengrass family. She is pure blood, but she is a good girl. It is rare for her not to treat me, a Muggle, with cold eyes. The women in her family have always been troubled by the blood curse. If not If they take medicine for a long time, they will transform into animals due to the blood curse. Starting from about the age of thirty, their transformation time will become longer and longer until they completely transform into animals."
"That was a poor girl. Although she later broke up with me due to family reasons, I got a tube of blood from her and discovered the secret of the so-called pure blood."
"Back to the topic, the question of God."
The sound of meat grilling in the flames sounded again.
"What do you think is magic?"
"Is the summoned flame a real flame?"
Seti raised the muzzle of the gun and gently pulled the trigger: "Fire is blazing", and a burning fire floated above the muzzle.
"I don't know if you have conducted research on spells, but I did take the time to explore it seriously. I found that the flame summoned by the spell is not a real flame. Although this fire has all the characteristics of a flame, it can It’s not really a flame.”
He took a piece of chopped wood from the side, and then lit it with the flame of the muzzle. Almost instantly, the wood with some moisture burned violently and turned into a small torch. After Ti removed the flame from the muzzle of the gun, the fire burning on the stick changed from its previous ferocity and gently licked the wood.
"This is real fire, natural fire."
Seti threw the burning wood into a bucket filled with water. With a squeaking sound, the burning wood was extinguished. Then he threw the flame burning on the muzzle of the gun into the water. The water bubbled a lot and began to boil in a short time.
"Magic flame cannot be extinguished by any non-magical means, at least when it is burning, whether it is placed in a sealed container or placed under water, the flame will not go out before the magic power is exhausted, but if We use other means, such as magic."
Seti reached forward and grabbed hold, and a prisoner tied to a wooden stake was pulled over.
"Strong stimulation will cause the magic in the wizard's body to overflow." As he said that, Seti reached out and broke the prisoner's arm, as easily as breaking a branch. A dull scream sounded, and Harry saw the wizard's body. There was light blue smoke rising. The magic power of ordinary wizards was light blue. Harry knew this very well.
Another magical flame spurted out from the muzzle, then fell on the guy's chest and burned quietly.
But as the flames burned, the burning pain caused the wizard to twitch and struggle crazily, and more and more magic power leaked out of him. In just three to five seconds, the magic flame that could have burned for a long time was replaced by the rising magic power. The package was then completely extinguished.
"Magic flames can be extinguished with more magic power. Of course, you can also use spells. That is more efficient. Using magic power to extinguish it is a stupid way, but it is also effective."
"A wizard's magic can change many things, but in essence, the things magic changes are imitating rather than creating."
"Transfiguration is the best example. False things transformed by magic can never become real, because it is imitation, not change or creation."
"But we can."
Seti broke the half-dead prisoner's neck, ending his suffering, and then spoke with a serious face.
"yol (fire)"
He uttered an odd word, and a tiny flame ignited at his fingertips.
"This is why I think we are not humans, but should be called gods. Although I don't like the word god very much. I hate the feeling of being superior, but there is no other exact word that can describe us well. What about what you did?”
"I'm not 100% sure that this flame was created out of nothing by me, but at least it is a real flame, a somewhat special flame that is completely consistent with natural flames. It is not a flame simulated by magic to imitate its properties. .”
"It can be extinguished -" Seti slowly dipped his finger into the bucket, and the rootless fire was extinguished by the water.
"It can be controlled by me at will -" As Seti continued to input black and silver magic power into it, the flame expanded to the size of a fist and heated up rapidly. After being thrown far away by Seti, this flame The fist-sized flame floated more than ten meters high. Its color changed from orange-red at the beginning to yellow-white, and then to cyan-blue. After a pause for a few seconds, the flame showed Weird purple.
The rising high temperature caused the temperature around the flame to rise sharply. The air distorted by the high heat caused the shape of the flame to fluctuate. The grass ten meters below began to carbonize and turn black, and the soil began to turn red and melt.
When the flame faded from purple and gradually turned colorless, the terrifying high temperature burned out a piece of hot lava. The prisoner tied to the stake struggled violently like never before. When the terrifying high temperature hit, , their hair and clothes were ignited, and the ropes were burned, but after they turned into human-shaped torches, they were completely scalded before running a few steps, and finally turned into a ball of ashes.
"In the mouths of Muggles, God created the world, but am I creating a flame at this moment?"
The colorless heat source that distorted the air disappeared, but the uncooled lava pool on the ground was still churning with bubbles. It was not an illusion, but a trace left by a flame.
"Do those magic texts that we can understand without us learning contain the secrets of creating the world?"
"This will be the goal that I plan to spend my whole life pursuing after graduation. I want to figure out the true meaning of these words. I have grown up, and I also feel that my growth has come to an end. Even if I continue to get stronger, I can’t continue to acquire the knowledge that is passed down by blood.”
"Here, I share my knowledge with you, my companion, and my friend. I hope that one day, one of us will find all the magic texts, give it a try, and be bold. Let’s try to see if we can create a real world and achieve the miracle of creation like a god.”
"yol-fire, wuld-whirlwind, strun-storm, bah-fury, qo-lightning, mul-power, qua-protection, slen-flesh, Evenaar-extinction."
"This is all I have inherited, and I also hope that you can leave behind the knowledge you inherited, so that one day, our successors can complete all the puzzle pieces and touch the miracle that belongs to the gods."
Seti waved to Harry and then pointed forward, "Behind that wall is my laboratory at Hogwarts. There is a small gift inside. Maybe you will like it."
The magic projection gradually dissipated, and a black and silver vortex slowly rotated in the center of the room, waiting for the next visitor to wake it up.
