"...So, that's it." George shrugged, and Fred spread his hands.
Before Ted could speak, Ron was already angry: "So, you were at your wits' end and only thought of us?"
George: "Oh, of course not. My dear brother."
Fred: "I'm just here Ted, I didn't expect you to be here~"
Ron: "Ah~~~" The stupid Ou Doudou wailed and retreated.
Ted listened to the twins' narrative and found it quite interesting.
They found some clues about ancient magic through the diary left by their great-great-grandmother, just under the restricted area of the Hogwarts library.
The Forbidden Book Zone is really not unfamiliar to them. After being tortured physically and mentally by the "Adventure Book" some time ago, they decided to look for the ancient magic that their great-great-grandmother called "very dangerous". .
Speaking of which, these two brothers are really geniuses. They were able to piece together a lot of content from the corners of some narratives, and even determined the specific locations.
They even looked for it yesterday and found that it really existed!
But they can't open it!
There was a magic door there. The two of them tried various methods, but there was nothing they could do. Then I decided to come to Ted. If he couldn't open it, then I'm afraid the path of ancient magic would be dead.
Although the Weasley family is a bit poor now, that's because they are happy in poverty and have issues with taking sides.
Their pro-Muggle and pro-Order of the Phoenix stance has put them far away from pure-blood families.
If they are willing to return, there will naturally be pure-blood families to welcome them.
They are descendants of the ancient Celts, the original inhabitants of this land, and the red hair is proof of that.
Ron finally licked his wounds and came over to read the diary left by his grandmother more than a hundred years ago.
He murmured to himself: "My great-great-grandmother was actually the professor of Transfiguration? Or the vice-principal?!"
He tried to imagine Professor McGonagall as his great-great-grandmother. I shivered immediately!
Ted spent a few minutes thoroughly scanning the old diary and piecing together the relevant information.
Not to mention, although the old Weasley grandmother tried her best to conceal the relevant information, it may be that this incident left such a deep impression on her, so she would often mention it once or twice even in the future.
If you mention this too much, you will reveal a lot of information...To say too much is to make mistakes!
Ted and the others have already had some exposure to ancient magic.
From the beginning, Ted got some information from Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, but Ms. Ravenclaw's views on ancient magic tended to be conservative.
In other words, they don’t agree with teaching or learning ancient magic.
She believed that this was a path that would be carved out by oneself after the magical path reached a certain level.
Those so-called ancient magics are the paths of other wizards. Once you step into them, you will never be able to get out of your own way.
So even for the magic she developed herself, she didn't leave any information behind, just some ideas.
Yes, the advanced magic of her time is what is now called ancient magic.
After all, the word ancient is relative. If a few hundred years pass, Ted and the others will also become ancient wizards.
The magic of that era was not very systematic, often extremely difficult, and the effects were incredible.
They are all "miniature miracles" developed by each wizard relying on magic power and according to his own wishes!
They also got a few words about ancient magic in Slytherin's secret room, but there was not much specific content. After all, the place had been raided by Voldemort.
If he hadn't had the chance to enter again later, I'm afraid not even a piece of paper would have been left behind.
Then there is the "Book of Adventure" left by Gryffindor, although he did not mention a word about ancient magic, or even a word about magic.
However, he has demonstrated many unique magics he developed during his adventures, and the effects and principles are completely different from modern magic systems.
Over the course of thousands of years, magic has gradually become standardized, traceable, easy to learn, and easy to control, but its power and effect have also decreased.
In the past, the magic system of each wizard was different, the magic principles of each area were very different, and every outstanding wizard had his own path.
Of course, this also makes it easier for more wizards to master magic.
Popular things will always slowly replace niche ones.
…
At night, a rare night out with friends.
The team size of eight people is quite large!
If this was in the first or second grade, I'm afraid there would be no way to avoid Filch's tracking.
But now, after Filch walks to an area closer to them, he will subconsciously ignore this place and go around it.
Ted's psychic powers directly blocked his inner information about this place.
As the level of this psychic power increases, various magical effects begin to gradually appear.
The group of people arrived at the forbidden book area smoothly, opened the magic passage that the twins had spent several nights researching to find, and came to the secret room below.
It is said here that it is below the forbidden book area, but it is not necessarily how many below. Because this is a spatial shift, not a physical move.
It was empty here, except for a magic stone door. In the middle of the stone door was a strange symbol that looked like a flame or a vertical eye.
George touched the stone door and sighed: "It is this door that blocks our dream of appearing as a saint in front of people!"
I originally wanted to learn ancient magic, complete the adventure, and show off my skills in front of others, but it ended before it even started.
"Open the Alaho hole!" Harley directly cast a spell on the stone door that blocked her dream.
But no response.
"The door is open!" Hermione saw this and cast the old version of the Opening Curse. It should be said that it is a door kicking curse!
But when the spell was cast on the stone door, it didn't stir up any dust.
Since it is a magic door to prevent non-identified wizards from entering, there must be a lot of precautions against wizards. None of these opening spells worked.
Even Open Sesame was used, the door-exploding spell!
But it didn't work.
Everyone looked at Ted.
Ted was already thinking just now, maybe magic won't work.
The magic resistance of this door has reached a terrifying level through materials, ritual magic, and spells.
How about trying a physical breakthrough!
Wizards often forget more direct methods because they rely too much on magic.
Maybe, the same is true for the wizard who set up this door. It is completely immune to magic, but would it be useful to directly destroy it?
As a result, Ted cut a stalactite from the roof of the shed and threw it at it. The door remained motionless, leaving no trace at all.
Protection has not been neglected at all.
Then we can only try the wizard's ability to contact things outside the realm, such as... psionic power!
Spiritual penetration!
Psychic energy not only interferes with the mind, but also interferes with reality.
Converting matter into spiritual matter, or converting spiritual matter into matter, are both realms of spiritual energy.
So, Ted used the psionic fossil wall next to the door, and then directly opened a new door!
How do you say that?
The one who defeats you may not be your peers, it may be someone from across the border!
At the other end of the door is a hall. Although it is neatly built, it is empty. There is only a small stone platform with a basin on it, and a small crystal bottle floating on the basin.
"It's a pensieve?!" Harley recognized this thing.
There are very few of these things now, and only ancient pure-blood families may still see them.
Like Hermione and the Weasley family, they don't even know what they are.
Ted carefully removed the crystal bottle, which contained a little silver liquid.
"Is it mercury?" Hermione asked.
"No, this is memory. Memories left here." Ted opened the cork and poured the silver liquid into the pensieve. The basin was full at once, and then became crystal clear.
"Okay, let's see what the seniors who left memories want to say..."
…
Everyone looked up from the pensieve in a daze.
After watching other people's memories, there will be some minor side effects, and you may feel dizzy for a short while.
Harley was the first to speak: "So, is it really that strong?!"
The first reaction of the friends was: Ancient magic is so terrifying!
This memory was left by the guardian of the previous generation, and it has been more than a hundred years ago. I'm afraid Dumbledore didn't even enroll in school at that time!
The memory records a series of events surrounding ancient magic that happened in the school when the owner of the memory, the guardian of the previous generation, was a transfer student.
Probably ancient magic was passed down hundreds of years ago, but because it was extremely difficult and powerful, it was only passed down secretly.
It turned out that one of the inheritors was a little too ambitious and caused trouble. In the end, he was killed by other guardians.
But before her death, the inheritor had built a secret vault to store a huge power under her control.
The villain in this matter is a descendant of the goblin who originally built the secret vault, an extremist of the goblin revival sect.
He learned about this from his ancestors' notes, and naturally thought that the secret library was built by his ancestors, so that power should belong to him. Just use this power to overthrow the rule of wizards and revive the fairies!
At that time, just a few decades had passed since the last large-scale goblin rebellion, and the remnants of the revivalists among the goblins were quite powerful.
The two sides started fighting for the secret vault.
In my memory, the magic power released by that transfer student, the guardian of the previous generation, was indeed extraordinary. Compared with the current ones like Expelliarmus, Stunned and so on, it was much more powerful.
No wonder Harley was surprised.
