Facing the letter in front of him, Qin Weijie had a rough understanding of his current situation.
This world is obviously not the world of his previous life. Although the historical trends are the same, there is a world hidden under the same historical clues that cannot be explained by science.
A strange world of wizards, magic, and magical creatures is about to unfold in front of Qin Weijie.
At this time, Qin Weijie could confirm that his mother's family was probably a wizard family, and his grandfather was probably an old wizard.
"Hey, be a good boy, Harry Potter? It's a bonus for fans of the original books! It's a pity...I haven't read the original books!!!"
An embarrassing question posed in front of Qin Weijie.
The Harry Potter series of novels was indeed very popular in his previous life, but due to the long span of creation, Qin Weijie had only read one or two.
The movie is not bad, but it is of no use. Not to mention that the plot of the movie has been deleted, but the time span is that the plot of the movie was in the 1990s.
Facts have proved that Qin Weijie is destined to miss the plot bonus after traveling fifty years in advance.
"It seems that apart from being a descendant of the welfare family, my time travel has no benefits. Where is Goldfinger? Where is the system? Where is grandpa? It is still in the era of World War II. This difficulty seems to be hellish! I can delete my account Practice again?”
The most tragic thing for a time traveler is that he traveled to a world that he was relatively familiar with, but forgot to read the plot in his previous life...
Now Qin Weijie can only take one step at a time. Although he has not studied the plot in depth, he still has some understanding, which should be helpful.
After waiting in place for about ten minutes, Qin Weijie suddenly heard a strange noise coming from a corner not far away.
Although the sound was relatively subtle, it was like a sonic explosion.
It sounds like the air is being rubbed rapidly. The image is just like the so-called sound of breaking the air in Chinese martial arts. It is just one sound and stops as soon as it is heard.
Qin Weijie looked towards the direction of the sound, and not long after, a tall figure walked out.
The person who came was a Caucasian man in his forties or fifties. He had long auburn hair and a long beard that were fairly neatly groomed. He was wearing an elegant purple velvet suit and was holding a dark brown umbrella in his hand. Upright and upright, it is a typical British gentleman style.
Based on the content of the letter just now, it is not difficult to judge that the gentleman in front of him is the legendary Professor Albus Dumbledore.
"I have kept you waiting, Mr. Welfare." Dumbledore said, looking at Qin Weijie. Seeing that Qin Weijie was silent, he added: "Forgive me for calling you Mr. Welfare rashly. This is according to your grandfather's wishes, but you If you don't like it, I can call you Mr. Qin."
"It's okay, Professor Dumbledore. Please slow down your speech. My English... you understand."
Qin Weijie frowned and thought for a long time before answering. It was obvious that his lack of proficiency in language affected communication.
"Then we can talk in Chinese." Dumbledore spoke standard Chinese, which shocked Qin Weijie for a moment.
"You actually know Chinese?"
"Oh, I don't know how. It's just a simple trick. I used magic to borrow some knowledge and memory about Chinese from a friend." Dumbledore explained patiently with a smile.
"Magic is so convenient, why do you need to learn it? Just copy your knowledge and give it to students. Why go to school to learn it?"
Seeing Qin Weijie's question, Dumbledore put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Mr. Foley, your idea is very dangerous."
"Although magic is convenient, there is one thing we must remember as wizards. That is not to try to change the rules of the world. Just like acquiring knowledge, the knowledge acquired through one's own learning is the strongest, because he follows the rules of the world. "
Qin Weijie frowned slightly: "But now you have clearly used magic to change your so-called rules?"
"No, it's not a change, it's just a temporary evasion of the rules."
“I still don’t quite understand”
"Mr. Welfare, as I said before, I borrowed some knowledge from a friend of mine using magic. These borrowed knowledge are time-limited. The longer you borrow, the more magic power is consumed. So I have not changed the rules of this world. Knowledge has temporarily escaped the restrictions of the rules, at the cost of a lot of magic power." Dumbledore explained
"Magic power?" Qin Weijie continued to ask, hoping that Dumbledore would answer.
But Dumbledore obviously didn't want to just stand on the roadside talking, so he patted Qin Weijie on the shoulder and said, "If you don't mind, let's talk while walking."
Qin Weijie agreed and kept up with Professor Dumbledore.
"What you asked today involves knowledge about the basic theoretical subjects of magic. Although you will learn it in school later, it does not affect me from telling you now."
Dumbledore was quite patient. In fact, it can be basically seen from the educational philosophy he implemented fifty years later that no matter how tough, wise or even sinister he was externally, Dumbledore was still very sincere and easy-going towards his students.
"First of all, please remember that magic can temporarily circumvent the rules, but do not try to change the rules. This is the first iron law of magic and must be kept in mind."
Dumbledore said, Qin Weijie nodded and wrote down these words seriously.
The Taoist Scriptures say: Knowing the constant is called enlightenment, but not knowing the constant is called mischief. Not to mention that what Dumbledore said already reached the level of iron laws of the wizarding world. Even if it was common sense, Qin Weijie did not dare to neglect it.
After all, seven or eight years of living in a Taoist temple has naturally cultivated his Taoist thinking. Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the first iron rule in Qin Weijie's life.
"Secondly, the more the consequences of using magic to circumvent the rules of nature violate the rules of nature, the greater the price you will pay. This is the second iron law."
"For example, let's say I use magic to help you take care of it and clean it up." Dumbledore took out his wand at some point and waved it in front of Qin Weijie.
A piece of soft light shone down, and Qin Weijie instantly felt light on his body. The stains on his face and the mud stains on his body were cleaned up, and even the sticky feeling on his body that had not been bathed for a long time disappeared.
The originally disgraced little loach was instantly transformed into a delicate young lady. Qin Weijie couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of magic.
"This looks much better." Dumbledore smiled and gently rubbed Qin Weijie's little head:
"The consumption of my magic power by such a spell is basically negligible, because we can help you clean it up in a very short time with human power. The impact and consequences are foreseeable, and there is basically no excessive violation of the rules of nature, so It’s a very low price to pay.”
"Using magic to temporarily borrow some Chinese knowledge, although it is only for one day, has consumed almost one-fifth of my magic power. This is because if I learn the relevant knowledge by myself, the time cost is very high. This is what the rules dictate.
And I used magic to circumvent the rules, which instantly cost a huge amount of time. It was equivalent to violating the laws of nature, and I had to pay a huge price accordingly. Can you understand this explanation? "
"I basically understand that magic and natural laws should have a relationship of energy conservation and equivalent exchange. The more advanced the magic is, the greater the impact on the natural laws, and the corresponding magic power needs to be exchanged as a price. I can understand it this way. ?" Professor?"
With more than 20 years of cultural influence in his previous life, Qin Weijie is relatively confident in his learning ability. Facts have proved that his understanding is quite adequate.
"Oh, you are indeed a smart child, far ahead of your peers. You have summarized the basic theory of magic very incisively." Professor Dumbledore looked at Qin Weijie in surprise, praised him and continued.
"But there is one more thing to note, that is, the cost of equivalent exchange is not limited to magic power. Magic power is the key to the magic world, but it is not all magic. Sometimes we wizards want to circumvent the corresponding rules, but we are not so When we exchange more magic power for equivalent value, we will use some other things."
"For example, if I want to become like you now, I need not only profound knowledge about transformation, but also a huge amount of magic power. But even if most wizards have enough magic power, it will be difficult for them to do so. The knowledge of transformation has been studied to an advanced level, so we have to use the knowledge of potions. Using some magical medicines and magic as a guide, we can prepare a polyjuice potion that can make people look like other people for a short time."
"At first glance, it seems that the Polyjuice Potion of Potions violates the iron law we mentioned before, but in fact, we use the corresponding items as a price, forming another form of equivalent exchange. And magic is like this, he It’s not a single magic power, but a huge knowledge system linked by magic power.”
"Understood, a gentleman is born without exception, and good and false are the same as things. To achieve the goal, you can use tools to form a balance of equivalent exchange. In this way, countless branches of magic can be derived. After practicing magic for a long time, you still need to be scientific... …”
Qin Weijie's exchange with Dumbledore today was like an enlightenment.
In his previous life, he had related doubts when watching Harry Potter movies. It seemed that everyone in the wizarding world could cast magic without any scruples, and each spell was more perverted than the next.
Qin Weijie thought at that time, if magic can really have no scruples, then Voldemort might as well just use a powerful flying spell to summon a nuclear weapon from the former Soviet Union, and then nuclear level the Scottish Highlands first, no matter what.
Isn't your Hogwarts a bastard? Can't it be invisible to Muggles? I don't believe that even if I bombed the entire Scottish Highlands, I can't annihilate you?
Qin Weijie actually considered the feasibility of this idea back then, and even sorted out a plan, taking almost all possibilities into consideration.
Now it seems that magic also has a bottom line, but what is a little embarrassing is that the bottom line of magic is so scientific... let's talk about whether it is a shame for magic or not.
But I have to say that Dumbledore is indeed an excellent professor. His lectures are vivid and clear. He is worthy of a famous teacher. But what a pity... I seem to have heard that sexual orientation is somewhat unnatural. I wonder how much he paid for this.
"Oh, by the way, professor, where are you going to take me?"
The two walked for a long time. During the journey, Dumbledore told Qin Weijie a lot about the magical world, and Qin Weijie also listened with interest.
But seeing Dumbledore lead him from the city to the suburbs, and even into a gloomy forest...
Think about these keywords, grove, Dumbledore, and sexual orientation that goes against the laws of nature. This kind of atmosphere makes Qin Weijie a little cautious.
"The next stop on our journey is London. There is a child your age there who has also been admitted to Hogwarts. However, his situation is similar to yours, even a little more complicated, so I need to go there in person. "Dumbledore explained.
"Similar to my situation? What situation am I in?"
"Like you, he has lived in the Muggle world all year round and knows nothing about the magical world. As for why it is more complicated than you, it is because this child has lived in an orphanage since he was a child. His mother is a witch, but she has passed away. His father is A Muggle, but one who abandoned him and his mother long before he was born.
Judging from the information, he seems to have an uncle, but he is serving his sentence in a wizard prison. This means that this child does not have a magical guardian. According to the "Minor Wizards Protection Act", children like him need to go through a series of relatively complicated procedures. Procedure to temporarily transfer custody to the school. Of course, this requires him to make his own decision and sign a custody transfer agreement. "
"Wait, you mean, I have a magical guardian? It can't be my grandfather I've never met before, right!?" Qin Weijie asked hurriedly.
"Yes, after confirmation from the school information, your grandfather is the only one of your immediate family members in the UK, so your custody will be automatically transferred to your grandfather."
At this time, Qin Weijie didn't know why, but he felt like he had been betrayed unknowingly.
Thinking of me, Qin Weijie, who was so famous throughout my life that I traveled across the entire Western European countries without being abducted and trafficked, but when I came to the UK, I was sold out of nowhere. Who can I blame?
"Professor, you don't plan to walk to London, do you? Even if you go, you will still stutter. If you don't save the dog's life, you have to save the human life."
Qin Weijie held the two dogs with one hand and rubbed his belly with the other. The sound of gurgling inside had been heard all the way.
"Woah!" Ergou was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, I was just kidding. If I take one bite, you will have one."
Watching Qin Weijie communicating with Ergou, Dumbledore's expression turned slightly surprised.
"Can you communicate with it?"
Qin Weijie raised his head and said in surprise: "Okay, Ergou and I can basically communicate without any barriers."
"Is it only possible to communicate with it, or can it be used with other dogs?" Dumbledore asked.
"What a dog, I'm not a dog that has become a spirit." Qin Weijie complained: "In my impression, I can basically communicate with all animals without any barriers."
"It's basically OK? This is amazing!" Dumbledore looked at Qin Weijie with a face of surprise, as if he had seen something extraordinary: "By the way, you said it is basically OK, are there any animals that you can't communicate with? ?”
"have"
"What is it?"
"People~"
Dumbledore never expected that Qin Weijie would say such a thing, and he was instantly shocked.
If it wasn't for the professor's face, Dumbledore would probably have complained that he couldn't communicate with others alone, so you're just trying to trick someone else.
But to be honest, Qin Weijie really didn't fool Dumbledore.
In fact, it’s also because human language is too complex.
Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, you name it, there are so many.
That’s not counting those dialects and indigenous languages.
From this point of view, it is understandable that Qin Weijie cannot communicate with all human beings without barriers.
Sometimes Qin Weijie even thinks that he is too beastly, so he gets closer to beasts.
Let’s briefly talk about Qin Weijie’s ability to communicate with animals.
Regarding this ability, Qin Weijie himself was a little puzzled.
Qin Weijie has lived in a Taoist temple since he was a child, chanting sutras, meditating, and practicing fasting and enlightenment all day long. At some point, Qin Weijie discovered that he could actually understand the words of animals, and the animals could also understand what he said.
In this regard, the old Taoist priest said that Qin Weijie was sincere, so he could use Tian Cong to speak God's words.
The explanation is that Qin Weijie has a sincere mind and can understand the language of animals, and the animals can understand what he says.
Qin Weijie has scorned this statement since he was a child.
Is he sincere? What a ghost! The word "chicheng" has been lost in vain. Qin Weijie still doesn't understand how dirty his heart is?
After Qin Weijie learned about the magical world, he had a guess that this talent should be produced by the combination of Western magical blood and Eastern Taoism. However, it cannot be confirmed for the time being, so let's just think so.
Qin Weijie did not tell Dumbledore the above. Anyway, Dumbledore knew that he could communicate with animals.
As for the principle, Qin Weijie didn't want Dumbledore to use him as a test subject, so why bother asking for trouble.
"Are you really not going to give me something to eat? I'm starving to death. Won't my grandpa cause trouble for you?" Qin Weijie asked when Dumbledore didn't say anything for a long time.
"We'll find you something to eat when we get to London."
"Shall I go? Even if it's already cold."
Dumbledore was also used to Qin Weijie's wisecracks, so he smiled and said, "No, we will be in London soon. Trust me, I promise you will have food in London in three minutes."
Dumbledore pointed forward, and Qin Weijie looked in the direction.
I saw a tree stump about one meter in diameter in front of me, with a rusty ax chopping up the tree stump.
Seeing the axe, Qin Weijie thought to himself: "It is indeed a portkey... It's really troublesome to pretend to be a magic noob who doesn't understand anything, and I have to remain a curious baby all the time. Who knows how hard I am!"
Pretending to be curious and listening to Dumbledore's explanation of the long-distance travel function of the portkey, Qin Weijie could only say that the baby was feeling bitter, but if the baby didn't say anything, the baby had to pretend to be a curious baby...
After a period of 1 minute and 43 seconds of old professor's popular science... No, it should be old professor Mopu, Dumbledore finally brought Qin Weijie to touch the rusty axe.
Then only a sonic boom was heard, and the two figures completely disappeared behind the woods near Southampton.
At this moment, there is still 1 minute and 15 seconds before Lao Dengtou promised to eat in three minutes...
